Chapter 31
The entertainment industry is indeed a circle
Ling Suisui had nothing to say about Wen Jiayan's decision.
Although she felt that it was not worth delaying her studies, Wen Jiayan was already an adult and she could be responsible for her own decisions. Besides, there is no need for Ling Sui to interfere in other people's lives.
She took the Mandarin exam and passed it with a Grade A as she had hoped. When the results came out, she even filmed it into the vlog material.
Although Ling Suisui is usually very active in her business and posts photos and videos, her fans still cry out that it is not enough.
While licking Yan, they also asked about her work arrangements.
Has Suibao joined any crew recently? Is there any work for him? How can an actor of your age sleep well?
In response to this, Ling Suisui replied that he was attending classes recently.
She seemed to be very indifferent after the filming of Ding Feng Bo was completed. She basically did not participate in any activities, and there was no news about her signing with any company. Some people who had paid close attention to her before seemed to be relieved and stopped trying to send her mocking posts.
Correspondingly, Ling Suisui had many fans who bought her stocks, and even cancelled several of her newly established websites.
If it were any other newcomer, this might be very sad, but Ling Suisui has long been accustomed to the flow of fans. And she also knew that these fans didn't like her that much.
These people either want to be "stars" in the fan circle, or want to earn a sea view house through her, so it won't be a pity if they leave.
The only thing that surprised Ling Suisui and also touched her was that she found that "Sui Sui Ping An" was still there.
Although she attends classes at school every day and the other party can hardly take pictures of her, she will still produce some pictures every now and then.
Sometimes I post some old stock pictures, sometimes a video mix, and occasionally some blackboard drawings, drawing various kinds of her.
Although what the other party drew is a bit abstract, it shows the thoughtfulness.
One month after school started, Tang Bing took Ling Suisui to attend a dinner with the main creative team of "The Last Rank", which was also the first informal script reading session of the crew.
Ling Sui took this very seriously and wore non-prescription glasses, tied her hair into a high ponytail, and attended the event without makeup, making herself look like a high school student.
After Tang Bing took her to greet the director, screenwriter, producer, and senior actors, she let her go to the children's table.
...Although this statement is a bit strange, compared to them, the actors who play the students are indeed very young.
Moreover, they are all old acquaintances of Ling Sui.
She plays Zhang Zihan, Chen Yuening plays Xue Yuchen, and Ji Zhaoying plays Xue Yutong.
There is also Jiang Heng, who plays Peng Haoran, who is also a friend she met on the variety show "A Wonderful Life" and came to the school to watch her final performance last semester.
It's not surprising that Chen Yuening would star in the show, as Huacai Film & TV is also a co-producer of the drama, and his agent Liu Shou was sitting at the adults' table.
Ji Zhaoying's situation is similar to Xia Tian's. No matter what resources she has, Ling Suisui will not be surprised.
As for Jiang Heng... they had recorded the same program before. Wu Huahan would recommend her to play Ding Fengbo, and Feng Guang could also recommend Jiang Heng to join the Jin Bang Ti Ming crew.
The entertainment industry, after all, is really a circle.
Ji Zhaoying waved to her enthusiastically: "Sister, come quickly!"
Ling Suisui sat down next to her. Ji Zhaoying first put a handful of melon seeds on her desk, and then whispered a lot of gossip into her ear.
She thought to herself, finally I have a little sister. I just sat at the same table with these two boys. Although we could chat, it was not as enjoyable as hanging out with sisters.
While listening to the gossip, Ling Suisui greeted Chen Yuening and smiled at Jiang Heng.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
It has indeed been a long time. Ling Suisui and Jiang Heng don't have much contact in private, and Chen Yuening joined the crew of an ancient idol drama during the winter vacation and did not come to school. He hasn't finished filming yet, and he asked for leave from the crew to come to the dinner today.
Jiang Heng exchanged pleasantries with her in the usual way. Chen Yuening seemed to have something to say, but he tried to interrupt several times and couldn't find the beginning.
There’s nothing I can do, Ji Zhaoying is too talkative. And the gossip she told made people prick up their ears to listen.
Those stories about who is in love with whom are just ordinary little melons. The most explosive melon among them is that the male lead of a drama in Hengdian cheated on his girlfriend, and his girlfriend came to his house at the wrap party and slapped him ten times on the ears. He was really hit so hard that his face was swollen on a physical level!
Speaking of this gossip, Chen Yuening, who was filming in Hengdian, couldn't help but say: "I know about this. The crew was next door to us at the time."
His assistant slapped his thigh and sighed that it was a pity. When this happened, their crew was filming and he couldn't go over to watch the fun. It was a big loss!
Jiang Heng exclaimed in a low voice: "I have heard of it too, but I thought it was fake at the time. Is this actually true?"
"It couldn't be more true." Ji Zhaoying swore, "I know the heroine of this melon. She is Zheng Wenjun, the assistant of Sui Sui."
Um? Ling Suisui was concentrating on cracking melon seeds, but he didn't expect that he would eat the melon himself.
"You mean... it was Wenjun who was cheated on?"
Ling Suisui remembered that on the night when she and Ying Nian discussed the script via video, Zheng Wenjun came up crying after going downstairs to get takeout.
If this is the truth of the matter, then everything is connected.
Ji Zhaoying nodded, "Yes, she is really miserable. She has been working as an assistant in Hengdian, and was tricked by Li Zekai into helping him get more information. As a result, this scumbag, even though he has a girlfriend, not only drags other female artists to hype up couples, but also pretends to be a 'couple on the crew' with his co-actress. He is cheating on both sides!"
"In fact, Zheng Wenjun is quite smart. She knew about this a long time ago, but she waited until the day Li Zekai finished filming to make trouble and give him a head-on blow."
Chen Yuening was very surprised. He really didn't expect that the assistant he introduced to Ling Sui was actually the girlfriend of a colleague in the same industry.
Jiang Heng asked in confusion: "There should have been a lot of people on the day of wrap-up, but this incident didn't become a hot topic?"
Ji Zhaoying curled her lips: "Their team is willing to spend money. Those who take photos and record videos have been paid. Even if someone breaks the news online, the post will be deleted quickly. The public opinion monitoring is very good."
"However, although Li Zekai's company and the film company are protecting him, this matter is a time bomb. The film company wants to quickly promote the drama to prevent any of Li Zekai's rivals from helping him to promote it."
It is hard to say whether cheating is considered a bad behavior for an artist, but with such a solid scandal exposed about the male lead of a historical drama, the drama is unlikely to become a hit, and if it becomes popular, it will be a dark one.
Otherwise, looking at that face of his, which audience can support the couple?
In the previous gossips, Ji Zhaoying used a code name, but here she used her real name.
On the one hand, it was because she was sure of the authenticity of the matter, and on the other hand, it was because she really didn't want to save face for Li Zekai.
Ji Zhaoying had contact with Zheng Wenjun when she was working as an assistant to Ling Suisui.
She is gentle, considerate and kind. Even when she went to the crew and slapped Li Zekai, she specifically emphasized that he was cheating on both sides and the female artists dating him were also innocent.
Such a good person, who could bear to see her sincerity being betrayed and the perpetrator being able to get away with it?
Ling Suisui and Ji Zhaoying exchanged knowing glances and understood each other's meaning.
Although they are unable to help Li Zekai become a hot topic for the time being...but they can still popularize his story with their peers.
They were not targeting him, they were just helping the crew to identify risky artists.
Nowadays, the investment in film and television projects usually starts at one million. If we shoot a film but cannot broadcast it, it will be a huge loss.
Seeing the two girls like this, the two boys felt a chill on their backs for some reason. They immediately spoke out to condemn Li Zekai and used a firm attitude to draw a clear line between themselves and this scum.
Chen Yuening even emphasized that he does not agree with the so-called "crew couples" and is ashamed of cheating and infidelity. Li Zekai's behavior is just an isolated case. There are still many male actors in the circle who are self-disciplined, like him.
Ling Suisui drank his tea calmly and asked him to eat more food.
It's a good thing that male actors have such awareness. Their moral standards should have been improved long ago, so as to avoid accidents and ruining the entire crew's work.
After chatting about gossip, the children at the table who were not supervised by adults finally got down to business and discussed the script.
Ling Suisui sorted out her relationship with the other three people:
"My mother is Li Yuhua and Peng Haoran's mother is Zhu Xiumin. They were high school classmates and kept in touch after graduation. So Peng Haoran and I are actually good friends who grew up together."
"Xue Yutong and I were a bit hostile at first. I felt that my territory was violated because before you transferred here, I was always the top student in the class, number one."
"At the beginning, I thought that we had to decide who was better. Later, I gradually opened my mind and realized that there were so many college entrance examination candidates in the country. We could improve together and learn from each other. There was no need to compete with you."
Ji Zhaoying added: "Xue Yutong's personality is very sunny and happy. I never thought of being hostile to you. On the contrary, I was quite sad when you ignored me when I just transferred here. I love making friends the most."
Ling Suisui nodded as she listened, and she couldn't tell whether she was talking about Xue Yutong or herself.
The character of Xue Yutong fits Ji Zhaoying very well, to the extent that she can play the role directly in her true colors.
This actually put Ling Sui under a lot of pressure, but just like Zhang Zihan's change in attitude, there are so many outstanding actresses in the entertainment industry, and it is most boring to just stare at the one in front of you.
She went on to say, "Then Xue Yuchen and I...when I was reading the script these days, I was thinking about a question."
"I think Zhang Zihan's feelings for Xue Yuchen may not be love, but a kind of emotional reflection. She has lived in a repressive environment for too long, and she just longs for Xue Yuchen's rebelliousness and the unrestrainedness of saying 'no' to teachers and parents."
"Xue Yuchen may be the same towards Zhang Zihan. Although he doesn't say it, he still minds being compared with his sister who has better grades. If Zhang Zihan is carrying too much expectation, then Xue Yuchen is eager to be expected by others. They both see what they want in each other."
"Moreover, after being scolded by her mother, Zhang Zihan wanted to find someone to rely on, while Xue Yuchen had been bullied by his sister for a long time and was not needed in the family. So when Zhang Zihan showed vulnerable emotions, he would take the initiative to approach her and hope to help her to prove his worth."
As Chen Yuening listened, he became a little confused.
This was the first time he and Ling Suisui collaborated on a TV series, but before filming even started, she wiped out their failed relationship?
