Chapter 199
Let the actors take off their clothes
In March, Ling Suisui was basically active in various studios and shopping malls. She has a lot of endorsements, so Tian Lan discussed with each brand and arranged for her to use one month to shoot all the promotional materials for the next six months.
She also has two brand meet-and-greet events this month, with Guerlain and YSL. There were many brands that wanted to invite her to participate in offline events. Even if the other party was willing to pay more, Ling Suisui's team declined when signing the contract. Only the two brands mentioned above, who had the longest cooperation time and the widest coverage, got the precious opportunity.
When this matter was exposed by the relevant industry insiders, someone quickly decoded it and found out that it was Ling Suisui. After all, describing her as "the most popular woman in the domestic entertainment industry" is equivalent to directly reporting Ling Sui's ID number, right?
Some people complained that she was arrogant, others lamented that luxury goods are not cold to everyone, they have a warm side too, they are just very picky about their partners.
In any case, the brands that organize offline events are very happy. It is a basic operation that the shopping malls are packed, and it is not worth mentioning to be on the hot search list. The resulting surge in brand awareness and sales can prove what a true top streamer is.
Xu Shiling was squeezed outside a shopping mall in the imperial capital, listening to the screams around him that were about to burst his eardrums, and he had a deeper understanding of the popularity of his future partners.
He was originally shopping nearby, and when he heard that Ling Suisui was having an event here, he dropped by to take a look...but he was thinking too much.
In preparation for this offline event, the mall guarded the entrance three hours in advance, allowing people to exit but not enter. Not only was there a huge crowd of people inside, but there was almost no place to step outside. Xu Shiling was now surrounded by the dense crowd, unable to walk inside or go out.
Ling Sui is so popular! This is Xu Shiling’s only understanding at the moment. He could hear discussions about Ling Suisui all around him. Many people caught the keyword "Ling Suisui" and came from all directions to join in the fun.
After the event was over and Ling Sui had left, the mall was still packed. After checking in at the brand’s large-scale advertising campaign, many young fans also came to meet offline. Pick any restaurant in the mall and the queue will take at least an hour.
Xu Shiling didn’t even dare to count how many active fans there were here, and this was just a certain area in the imperial capital! Ling Sui hasn't aired a drama for almost half a year, and every day people say that she has lost fans due to lack of exposure. Just look at her offline popularity and you will be honest.
Ling Suisui found out a few days later that Xu Shiling had come to watch her offline brand event - although he couldn't squeeze in at all and didn't even see her shadow.
She originally wanted to treat him to a meal. After all, since he came to the imperial capital, she was at least half a host. Unfortunately, he only stayed for a few days and returned to Hong Kong after checking out the famous attractions in the imperial capital.
Coincidentally, Ling Suisui went to Hong Kong in mid-March and discussed her ideas with film directors and screenwriters. However, Xu Shiling, who said he would treat her to a meal at a tea restaurant, was not there as he had gone to work in Guangzhou.
Well, as of now, the two leading actors of the movie have only seen each other’s film and television works and have not met in person. If you don't know, you would think we are filming an idol drama because of the coincidences we keep missing.
Because Xu Shiling was also one of the "male protagonists" identified by the system, it called these two events "dramatic romantic misses", which only got a sneer from Ling Suisui in response.
system:……
Ever since the last incident, even if the host pretended not to, the system didn't dare to say anything to her. After all, the host said that it could live a peaceful life now thanks to her kindness.
Ling Suisui asked it: [Is this definitely the last male protagonist? 】
System: [Yes, there are nine including him. 】
Nine is enough. Among them, Ai Tianming is an investor, Gu Size is currently transforming into a director, and the remaining seven are actors. If everyone has the "male lead halo", wouldn't there be seven heroes dominating the show?
This analogy is not very good. Ling Suisui shook his head again, saying that it was an insult to the Warring States Period.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the system wanted to flatter her: [Xu Shiling's initial favorability towards you is 85, which is very high. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, the host's beauty is unmatched. 】
Ling Suisui: [You are wrong. It’s not because I am good-looking, but because everyone has a desire to be strong. I am more famous than him, debuted earlier than him, and have more representative works than him. For him, being able to work with me is like holding on to a golden thigh. What reason does he have not to admire me? 】
Take Director Pei as an example. If you randomly survey young actors in the domestic entertainment industry, their favorability rating for him is over 90. He is a real old man and he used to look average, but when he chooses a certain actor to be the protagonist of a movie, people's favorability towards him will immediately soar to 100%. Is it because he is young and handsome? 】
The system remained silent. When the host realized that beauty was nothing compared to power, she was someone it could never brainwash.
Today's beating has come to a temporary end, and Ling Suisui must put the system in the right place. No matter how it gets along with other hosts, to her, it is just a fairly handy tool.
Ling Sui lay on the massage chair, emptying his mind and entering the classroom in the system space. She has been taking a brain development class recently, and the hourly tuition is ridiculously expensive. The foreign language course is 1 point/hour, but here it is 1,000 points/hour.
Moreover, even if she was willing to spend points before, she couldn't find the entrance because it was not in her class list. This was something the system agreed to introduce specially for her when she negotiated with it last time.
After taking several trial classes, Ling Sui admitted that the expensive classes had their reasons. She tapped into the potential of her brain in class, which resulted in a better memory, clearer logical thinking, significantly improved spatial imagination and language organization abilities, and greatly enhanced cognitive response abilities.
There is nothing wrong with this course except that it is expensive, and Ling Sui can't spend all of his credit points on it. However, this small degree of brain development is enough for her acting career. Ling Suisui understands what "too much is as bad as too little" means.
Her efficiency in memorizing lines has improved rapidly. Before, she could remember the lines roughly based on the character's personality after just one look, but now she is close to having a photographic memory and is heading towards the direction of being able to recite them backwards.
During the script reading session for "Only the Moon Passes By", Ling Sui's analysis of the character was also very organized. The screenwriter excitedly held her hand, feeling that every word she said touched his heart.
Even when Xu Shiling wanted to say something but couldn't think of the words, Ling Sui could always finish his sentence, making the young actor's eyes light up and his favorability rating instantly reach 100.
...It was too easy, Ling Sui even felt there was no challenge at all. Isn't it easy for her to conquer this newbie?
However, although Xu Shiling is young, his acting skills are good enough, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to join this crew. If Li Mingxu's strength remains at the level of Taohua, or even regresses, he will face considerable pressure in the future.
Ling Suisui also privately asked her sisters and others to place a bet on which of the two male actors would develop better in the next five years.
——In the entertainment industry, it is not just people in the industry who love to gossip. When celebrities themselves discuss gossip, they are even more active and use sharp words. If someone posts a screenshot, I'm afraid no one will believe it and will laugh at it, saying it is some kind of phone-picking literature.
"Only the Moon Passes By" is a love movie, and the heroine is a sexy and scumbag woman. Naturally, there is an erotic sex scene in the script.
This is the first time that Ling Suisui has seriously filmed this kind of scene since he started his career. As a professional actor, she is not averse to sex scenes and will not talk about sexual perversion, but for market considerations, she raised some suggestions to the director and screenwriter.
Ling Suisui said seriously, "Most of the audiences who like to watch romance movies are women, and among the male audiences, many are dragged by their girlfriends. In addition, the entertainment trend has changed in recent years, so I think that if you want to bring visual stimulation to the audience through sex scenes, you should let the male lead take off his clothes and show his abdominal muscles."
She glanced at Xu Shiling by the way - does he have that thing?
Being stared at, Xu Shiling's cheeks first turned red, and then he couldn't help but touch his belly.
Um... does one abdominal muscle count?
Ling Suisui continued, "From the perspective of character, it should be Qiao Xintong who teases Lin Youqian. Even in bed, she is the dominant one. Female audiences will naturally put themselves in the heroine's perspective and feel how Lin Youqian uses his body to please her."
Even though Xu Shiling's face was almost lowered to the table, Ling Suisui's attitude was still so calm. What is this scale? Doesn't literary and artistic creation advocate the art of "sex"? There is no reason why there would be something unspeakable when the object of gaze is replaced by the male protagonist.
Besides, this kind of thing didn't hurt Xu Shiling at all. He is an actor, the audience will never criticize him for being vulgar, they will just hiss. If it were a female actress, it would be a dream to have such treatment.
Ling Suisui easily convinced the director. Qiao Xintong's character design was obviously intended to attract the female audience market. Since the target audience was clear, he would just go all the way. If he wanted everything, he would get nothing.
The director waved his hand and decided that Lin Youqian should take off his shirt. He also told Xu Shiling to exercise well during this period and strive for quick success.
There is still more than half a month before the filming of "Moon" starts, so this scene can be moved to the later stage. We don't require him to become a bodybuilder, but at least he should have clear lines, right?
Ling Suisui even painted a rosy picture for him, saying that he was dedicating himself to art and that the audience loved to watch this. After the movie is broadcast, it can also market how hard the actors worked during the fitness period. The actors adjusted their body shape for the filming, which is something worthy of praise no matter where they are.
The director also promised that he would definitely shoot him in a particularly beautiful way. He is so handsome, it would be a waste if he didn't take off his clothes!
After a series of combined punches, Xu Shiling no longer looked immature. Instead, he was eager to try and full of energy. He couldn't wait to "become famous by stripping off his clothes" in front of the big screen.
The producer and his agent were also present at the event. After discussing it over, they immediately arranged a fitness schedule for him and even prepared a menu for his fitness meals.
Of course, Shengshi is very efficient in doing things. After all, this movie is aimed at making money. As for how to treat the actors, the company certainly has no objection, this is Hong Kong.
When Xu Shiling heard these arrangements and thought about their intensity, he was hesitant for a moment. Just at this moment, Ling Sui looked over again.
Ling Suisui: "I believe you, you can do it, right?"
Xu Shiling: ...
As a man, he can't say no, so he accepted the offer with an indifference.
Very good, Ling Suisui is satisfied.
Young people nowadays are quite sensible. It's really cute to see him working so hard for the box office of her movie.
