Chapter 379
Behind the ingenuity of the creation is the crazy burning of money
Good news, Louis no longer has to worry about Ling Suisui not remembering him.
Bad news, this impression is too deep.
——Just think about it, a colleague you have been working with for several months is actually your fan, or a data worker, who has written tens of thousands of flattering and cheesy love words on Weibo.
Even someone as experienced as Ling Suisui would probably be frightened and find it hard to remain calm and pretend nothing happened...
Apart from deleting individual Weibo posts that mentioned irrelevant people and setting them to be visible for half a year, Louis didn't know what else he could do.
Netizens who like to watch the fun took the content he posted and made memes with it in the real-time square, and even made it into various emoticons.
...Okay, Louis admitted that some of his words were a bit shocking and corny, but which fan hasn't boasted online? He just did what all fans would do, but because of his status as a public figure, he suffered social disgrace and also implicated Ling Sui.
It is definitely too late to delete the blog, as modern netizens will take screenshots and record the screen. It would be fine if he didn't take any action. Once he starts deleting posts on a large scale, it will only attract more netizens who love to watch the show to rush in and make the matter even bigger.
Although, now it has reached a point where it cannot be undone, Ling Suisui will definitely know...
Louis and Ling Sui both took a cold approach to the matter, neither admitting nor denying it. After 24 hours, a new hot topic appeared on the Internet, and people's attention to lll forever finally decreased.
When his assistant informed him that his name was no longer on the hot search list or the trending list, Louis breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh my God, this was the longest 24 hours of his life!
Although I know that people will not forget this matter so quickly and it will definitely be brought up again after the movie is released, but if he can be an ostrich for a while, let him be one for now.
Louis the Ostrich buried his head in the pillow and unlocked his phone fearfully and carefully.
His heartbeat quickened, and his breathing became rapid.
The notification page was empty, with no unread messages from Ling Suisui. From yesterday till now, nothing.
Louis' mood is very complicated. He is now afraid to see Ling Suisui coming to find him because he doesn't know how to face her.
But she didn't come for a long time, and it was quite uncomfortable to feel like the sword of Damocles was hanging over his head.
Louis' mood was still on a roller coaster ride. His toes had already dug out a Palace of Versailles. However, the other party involved in this incident, Ling Suisui, did not care as much as he thought.
First of all, she had known about this for a long time, so Louis's exposure did not have such a big psychological impact on her. She could even say that she had worried too much before.
After all, Ling Sui always prepares for the worst, so she is ready to accept Louis's unscrupulous and unrestrained remarks in the fan circle... But judging from the jokes that netizens have dug up so far, his level of nonsense is considered relatively conservative.
I thought the roof would be blown off, but it turned out to be just a window. If Ling Sui was not inappropriate to make any response, she would have wanted to say "that's it"?
Rather than Louis's worry that she would be embarrassed, Ling Sui was actually more troubled by the people around her eager to watch the show.
Lewis' character Wade was finished filming, but the crew of Kung Fu 2 had not.
There are hundreds of colleagues in the crew, and as long as one person surfs the Internet fast enough, everyone will know.
Since Louis was not around, they couldn't make fun of him in person, so the focus was on her.
During the breaks in filming, Ling Suisui has been asked more than once how she feels, what she wants to say, and what she thinks about the matter.
Ling Suisui would just spread his hands and say, "I don't know. You guys have his contact information, right? Just go ask him directly."
This was not her perfunctory attitude. As a star and an object of admiration, Ling Sui herself did not feel anything.
If I have to say... maybe I'm used to it? This is not her Versailles, she is just describing it truthfully.
Amy: "You're becoming a bit narcissistic now."
"Really?" Ling Sui was surprised. Then she thought about it and it seemed that there really was a little bit of it.
Alas, it is true that if you stand too high, you will easily become arrogant. She still needs to keep her feet on the ground.
Seeing Ling Suisui's serious expression, Amy quickly said, "I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."
"You have to take it seriously." Ling Suisui rested his hand on his chin and said, "It's because I said it casually that it's more credible."
Is it embarrassing? A little bit, of course. But after Louis exposed this incident, Ling Sui is still quite glorious as a popular star.
She is not a saint and she still has a little vanity... Although the fan base is equal and every fan is important, the recognition from peers and the public's talk about it will always make people feel extra happy.
Today, Ling Suisui has fully accepted his imperfect emotions and reactions. She will no longer waste her time on internal energy. She just needs to remind herself to control it with reason and prevent it from spreading further.
Fortunately, this enthusiasm for eating melons did not last long. After all, the crew's work has entered the final stage, and everyone has to complete the shooting task within the planned time. Even a family as wealthy as Deland's is not happy to see cost overruns.
Kung Fu 2 took more than six months to shoot, and the cost was already high enough. Many of the fighting scenes relied on the director and actors to try again and again, and to achieve the best results with clever camera movements and the high level of performance of the actors.
If Kung Fu Piece hadn’t made a ton of money, allowing the entire project team to stand tall at DeLand Pictures, there’s no way the second installment would have been so lavish. Behind the meticulous craftsmanship is the crazy burning of money!
In August, Ling Sui also finished filming.
It is no exaggeration to say that every time she thinks that making a Hollywood blockbuster is hard enough, the next work always refreshes her cognition. However, if this hard work results in a better presentation on the screen, then she doesn't mind breaking through her limits again and again.
As the last actor to leave the entire crew, Ling Suisui hugged the director while holding the bouquet of flowers given by the staff.
She told the director: "I'll leave it all to you in post-production. I hope Kung Fu 2 will have some surprises too."
Kung Fu 1 and Kung Fu 2 were directed by the same director. He really has a lot of creative ideas and he also likes to torment the actors on the set. But the same thing applies, if it is a meaningful and effective effort, Ling Sui is not afraid of the hard work, he is only afraid that he has no inspiration.
For example, the fight scene in Kung Fu 1 where Ling Sui was tortured to the point of nearly collapse, and even she with such strong physical strength was almost exhausted, was widely acclaimed after the movie was released. It also became a famous scene that many fans must emphasize when recommending the movie to their relatives and friends, and attracted many audiences to the theater.
According to Diland's market analysis, this spectacular fight scene brought at least a 10 percent increase in the film's box office. The proportion doesn't seem to be that much, but if converted into a specific amount... it's about 1 billion RMB.
Others said that her fight was very worthwhile, but Ling Suisui knew very well that this was not her sole credit.
When filming Kung Fu 2, the director did not use the same routine. There were many more cameras on the set this time than the first film. The switching of multiple perspectives actually tested the director's command and dispatch capabilities. After all, such a large project requires the completion of the entire team, not just him sitting in front of the computer and editing.
The director smiled and said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan. See you next year."
The next year here does not refer to the promotion of the drama, but the shooting of the new movie.
Ling Suisui heard that the name has been decided, and it seems to be called "Magic Top Student". It seems that there are hidden sects in the East and magic academies in the West, and both are story backgrounds that can be further extended and expanded.
The script for this movie has not been completed yet, only the outline is available. We don’t know much about Ling Suisui. All we know now is that she and the protagonist didn’t get along in the early stages, but they gradually broke the ice in the middle and late stages, and reluctantly became friends at the end.
As for why it is just a stretch... Of course it is because there are several more movies to come, so there has to be more room for development.
Ling Suisui thought it was quite interesting. She and Bertha had a good impression of each other when they first met, but next year they would have to work together even though they disliked each other. It was funny to think about it.
"See you next year," she said.
Director: "I hope your work will do well at the Venice Film Festival. If you have good news, please share it with me as soon as possible. I will be proud of you."
"Of course." Ling Suisui replied, "I hope there will be this opportunity."
The movie "Easy As Pie" starring her has been confirmed to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival. When the list was announced, there was not much movement in the domestic entertainment industry.
Isn't it common for Ling Sui to be shortlisted for the third place in Europe? The mere achievement of being shortlisted is not even the icing on the cake.
If it weren't for the gimmick of "collecting Euro 3", even the marketing account wouldn't have released this in the first place. Everyone thought that it would not be too late to congratulate her after she and her work won an award this time.
If she didn't win the award... Although no one has considered this yet, judging from the results of the tentative attempts by her fans to step on her in case she is over-praised, Ling Sui's health bar is quite thick, and even if she is a runner-up it will not bring any blow to her reputation. At most, her black fans will have a party.
This made the fans quite surprised. After all, given their size, as long as the fans and haters counterattacked, the latter would be nothing at all. Ling Sui has worked hard for so many years, and the audience finally understands how hard it has been for her!
This probably has a lot to do with the fact that she won the Oscar last year. Putting aside the professionalism and artistry, in terms of popular influence, no one can deny that the Oscar is truly the "world's number one award."
Therefore, during this trip to the Venice Film Festival, Ling Suisui can relax a little and doesn't have to bear such great pressure.
