Chapter 17
Qin Xian, Jin Hua and College Students' Mental Health
Ling Suisui first went online to check the project that Wu Huahan mentioned, and found that this project was even better than she had imagined.
First of all, the IP of this drama is a top work in the online literature industry and is quite popular on the male side. The names of the original novel and the adapted script are both "Ding Feng Bo".
The original novel is set in ancient times, and the story is about upgrading and face-slapping. The hero starts out as an unpopular and ridiculed prince, but later ascends the throne, carries out internal reforms and external conquests, ultimately ending the separatist regimes and achieving unification once again.
Although Ling Suisui has not read the book, he can find out the reputation of the book.
Since it’s an IP adaptation, the writing style of the original work is not important, and it can’t be seen in the TV series. She focused on the plot and logic of the novel, and found that most readers' comments in this regard were "the political tactics are pretty good", "there are no obvious flaws", and "the author's IQ is online".
The role that Wu Huahan recommended her to try was called "Qin Xian". Although this character was not given much attention in the original novel, she was quite important to the male protagonist.
According to the script information she knows, Qin Xian is of noble birth. Her mother is the eldest princess of the current dynasty, and her father is the mentor of the male protagonist. She herself is kind-hearted and often helps others when they bully the male protagonist.
It can be said that Qin Xian is a ray of light that shines into the male protagonist's life when he is going through hardships.
The male protagonist went through many twists and turns before he married her, but their happiness did not last long.
The enemy invaded and the hero disappeared on the battlefield, his life or death uncertain.
Soon after, the enemy captured the capital. Under the slander of the protagonist's political enemies, the foolish and weak king actually wanted to give his twelve-year-old daughter, the protagonist's sister, to the leader of the enemy army under the ridiculous name of "marriage".
In order to save the princess, Qin Xian volunteered to go to the enemy camp on her behalf. She secretly hid a dagger, exchanged one for one with the enemy leader, and finally died in the arms of the hero who came to save her.
The hero was heartbroken and vowed to avenge her. From then on, Qin Xian became the white moonlight that he would never forget in his heart. Although she never appeared again, she always appeared in the memories of the male protagonist and others.
Ling Suisui thought that the original work of the project was okay, the adaptation team had successful cases, the director was reliable, the producers were Joy Films and Antenna Video, and the image of this character was very good...
So, why was there a sudden shortage of people just before filming started? Was it a problem with the crew or the actors?
Even if pie falls from the sky, Ling Suisui will not just pick it up and eat it. He has to first figure out whether it is poisonous or not and why others don't want it.
She asked around in the group chat among six people and soon got the answer from Ji Zhaoying.
When it comes to gossip skills, there is no one in the entire domestic entertainment industry with a wider network of contacts and more accurate information than Ji Zhaoying. Ling Sui even suspected that she might not have entered the circle to become a star, but just to watch the show up up close.
Ji Zhaoying told her that the role of Qin Xian was originally intended for Sun Qianqian. She is Xiang Yanchu's female teammate, and is the member who ranked last and secured her debut spot. Speaking of which, these are the resources arranged for her by Antenna Video.
Because Qin Xian appeared less frequently and was not included in the cast, the crew was willing to give her the title of "special guest".
Originally, Sun Qianqian agreed, but when she learned that there would be other "special appearances" and her name could only be ranked third, she instantly became unhappy.
She even suggested that the crew give her a separate "special starring" role, otherwise she would be overshadowed in the special role and would definitely be laughed at by fans of the other people who had taken spots but did not make their debut.
If it was an internal drama of Antenna Video, she could still negotiate with Qiao to put forward some conditions, but the biggest producer of this drama is Joy Films, and Antenna is only a co-producer and does not have that much say.
——Even if there is, she "played big" before the filming started, and it was lucky enough that she was not on the antenna blacklist. Can she still expect the platform to save her?
You know, Xile was not very willing to use idols in the first place, and it chose Sun Qianqian at the beginning to give face to Tianya, but it didn't expect that Tianya would be slapped in the face by her.
As a result, Sun Qianqian was fired from the crew. She should be shocked, but Ling Suisui was not surprised at all.
When idols turn to film and television, it is really easy for them to lose sight of their own status and appeal. The money and energy of fans may be able to support the idol’s stage, but film and television works need passers-by, not a high-profile niche circle.
The annual talent show is quite lively, with the number of votes easily reaching tens of millions, but people in the industry are well aware of whether there are so many people who actually participate in the voting, and how much krypton gold and behind-the-scenes manipulation are involved.
Sun Qianqian thought that the crew needed her traffic, but in fact she was wrong. It was the antenna that wanted to send her in to show her face and gain some audience favor.
Since it was an actor issue, Ling Suisui had no other concerns about the project except for the time arrangement.
Her acting skills are definitely good enough to play Qin Xian. In addition, with Wu Huahan's recommendation, as long as she expressed her ability to play the role, the role would definitely be hers.
She also has an advantage that no other artist has - in this star-studded crew, her ranking can be anything she wants.
After all, the ranking is something that an actor needs to consider after he becomes famous, and it makes no difference to an unknown actor.
Ling Suisui didn't want to miss this opportunity, nor did he want to refuse Wu Huahan's kindness.
But the final exams and the final performance...how come everything is happening at the same time?
She asked the system: [Does the internal space have the function of changing the time flow rate? For example, if I stay in it for 2 hours, only 1 hour will pass in the real world? 】
System: [Host, there is no such function. Time is the fairest thing in the world. 】
Ling Suisui asked: [Isn’t the organization behind you called the Space-Time Administration? Then is the speed of time flowing in other worlds the same as on Earth? 】
The system was silent for two seconds before answering her: [It is indeed different. The system can send the host to other planes, but there is no guarantee that the host can come back. 】
Ling Suisui: ...
Forget it, it’s good to stay on Earth peacefully.
Ling Suisui checked the system points and found that there were 231 points left.
From the time she activated the system until now, she has not bought any items in the mall, and has been using sign-in rewards to pay for study rooms and course fees, and it took her several months to save up this little surplus.
She made up her mind and bought 10 "efficiency improvement buffs" for 20 points, and her points were instantly reduced to 31 points.
Ling Sui did not plan to keep these 31 points. She wanted to increase her study time in the study room in the inner space.
Ling Suisui planned to study for the exam as usual during the day, and at night, while his body slept, his mind continued to review the content of the final exam. Vlog shooting and editing, operation and maintenance of multi-platform accounts are all temporarily suspended.
As for leaving yourself some free time, one hour a day is enough.
In this way, she could squeeze out time from the sponge and study the role of Qin Xian thoroughly before filming began.
System: [Host, are you really not afraid of dying if you try? 】
With such a tight schedule and such high-intensity mental activity, is it true that she doesn't feel tired at all?
Ling Suisui let out a long sigh.
She is a human being, of course she feels tired, but what can she do?
Could she have told the crew not to be so anxious to find actors or start filming so quickly, and to wait until she finishes her exams?
It goes without saying that this is impossible.
Moreover, if I reject Wu Huahan this time, there will most likely not be a next time.
Tang Bing took the lead for her, so whether she could maintain her interpersonal relationships depended entirely on herself. She couldn't rely on the teacher for everything.
"Hold on," she said.
If you work hard, you can get through this. Ling Sui would not allow himself to miss out on resources of this level.
She replied to Wu Huahan with an affirmative answer and attached a VCR of her self-introduction without makeup, which also included her talent display and acting highlights edited from two variety shows.
Netizens call her Sister Zhen every day. Unexpectedly, Jia Zhenzhen has become her current "masterpiece".
Ling Suisui was reading a book while waiting for news. Ji Zhaoying asked her why she suddenly asked about Ding Fengbo?
There was nothing to hide about this matter, and Ling Suisui was not worried that the resources would be snatched away by her. If Ji Zhaoying wants to act in this drama, her team's operation target must be the female lead.
She told her the truth, but she didn't expect an exclamation mark from the other party.
[Ji Zhaoying: Wow, sister, you are going to act in a TV series with Yingnian? ]
Ying Nian is the male lead in "Ding Feng Bo" and his agency also holds shares in Xile Film and Television.
Such a good team just to complement his masterpiece as the leading man made Ling Sui a little jealous.
[Ling Suisui: Maybe. Are you a fan of Yingnian? ]
[Ji Zhaoying: ...Pah, he is my buddy, we have known each other for a long time. ]
[Ji Zhaoying: By the way, do you have a roommate named Xia Tian? When I saw her circle of friends, I was wondering how Guo Quan had offended him. Later I found out that the bastard actually allowed his fans to cyber-bully you. He is really a piece of shit. ]
[Ling Suisui: It’s okay, let’s not talk about the past. ]
[Ling Suisui: Xia Tian is indeed my roommate. You know her too? ]
[Ji Zhaoying: Of course, we had a good relationship when we were young, but as we grew older we had less contact and gradually became estranged. ]
[Ji Zhaoying: She is Yingnian’s cousin. Okay, the relationship is closed. ]
Ling Suisui thought to himself, it is indeed so.
The world is a small circle, especially for those who control the resources.
[Ji Zhaoying: You are actually going to act out a love scene with Ying Nian, hahahahahahahahahaha. ]
[Ji Zhaoying: Do you have any kissing scenes in this scene? Will they really kiss? ]
[Ji Zhaoying: vocal, I imagined the scene of him kissing you in my mind, it really felt like a pig trying to get a cabbage. ]
[Ling Suisui: …]
[Ling Suisui: Sister, don’t get excited too early. In fact, I haven’t been confirmed to play the role yet. ]
Ling Sui will not make any final statement until the result comes out. No matter what, always leave yourself some wiggle room.
[Ji Zhaoying: How could it be impossible to not make a decision? Based on your acting skills, Zhenzhen, it would be a complete loss for them if Ding Fengbo doesn’t want you. ]
After a while, there was still no news from the crew, and Ling Suisui received the system prompt first.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking [Yingnian]'s favorability. Currently, [Yingnian]'s favorability towards you is 60. Please keep working hard! 】
ah? Ling Sui was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
Ying Nian is also one of her possible targets, which is understandable. After all, judging from the team of "Ding Feng Bo", he is considered to be a top resource in the domestic entertainment industry. If he can become a movie emperor in the future, he will perfectly meet the standards of a male protagonist in entertainment industry literature.
What Ling Suisui didn't expect was that Ying Nian had already unlocked his favorability towards her, and it was a neutral value of over 50 points. This shows that in his heart, he had some initial liking for her.
But...how did he know her? It's impossible that the crew has to send the information of a supporting actress to Yingnian for review, right?
Ling Sui glanced at the chat history between her and Ji Zhaoying and had some vague ideas.
Soon, she saw the other party's new message.
[Ji Zhaoying: Sister, I talked to Yingnian and he promised to recommend you to the crew. ]
That’s right, that’s exactly what she guessed.
Although Ling Suisui felt it was unnecessary, she was still very touched that Ji Zhaoying took the initiative to help.
Ling Suisui decided that in the future, whatever gossip she heard in the circle, as long as it was talkable, she would share it with Ji Zhaoying first.
[Ling Suisui: A Heart of Gratitude.gif]
[Ji Zhaoying: Anyway, there is just a need for someone to play this role, so it would be best if you can play it. ]
[Ji Zhaoying: Zhenzhen, cry in front of him then! Tears start! ]
Ling Suisui: ...
Ji Zhaoying is a good kid in every way, except that she is a little too immature sometimes.
With recommendations from both Wu Huahan and Ying Nian, the role of Qin Xian fell to Ling Suisui without any surprise.
After turning 18, Ling Sui was finally able to sign contracts on his own.
The "efficiency improvement buff" she had purchased before played an important role. Not only did she finish reading Qin Xian's complete script within an hour, she also memorized it.
Although I can't recite it word for word or by heart, it is enough to recount the general content.
Based on Ling Sui's user experience, it probably increases the speed at which the brain processes information?
While the item is in effect, her concentration is also significantly improved. The sounds that usually distracted her no longer had much impact on her.
Since the end of December, Ling Sui has been experiencing the life of a special forces soldier every moment.
She still maintains the habit of getting up at six o'clock to practice morning exercises. After breakfast, she goes to class if she has classes, and prepares for the content of the final performance if she doesn't have classes.
In addition to being in school, she also has to go out to shoot related materials for "Ding Feng Bo", accompany the crew to try on costumes, and adjust the makeup style according to the actual effect.
Don't get me wrong, she has basically no part in the "adjustment and optimization" part. It's already very good to be able to measure her size and get the exact size.
They asked her to come here just to round up the number of actors and make the data on the makeup team's work report look better.
Alas, there is so much formalism in the entertainment industry.
Ling Sui always carried his textbook with him wherever he went, and would flip through a few pages while he was imprisoned in the shed.
She didn't see Ying Nian. There were too many actors in the crew of "Ding Feng Bo", and the minor roles and the leading actors were not in the same studio. She also had no interest in running around and "creating chance encounters" as the system said.
Just kidding, she was recommended by Wu Huahan. If she was accused of not understanding the rules of the crew and causing trouble for everyone, she would also bring shame to Wu Huahan and even Tang Bing.
However, Ling Suisui was still very grateful to Yingnian.
——In addition to recommending her things, I mainly wanted to thank him for the many activities at the end of the year.
In order to accommodate his schedule, the crew chose the capital as the location for the makeup trial instead of going directly to Hengdian. Otherwise, Ling Sui would be more tired from taking a round trip flight and it would take longer on the road.
She ran back and forth between school and the studio, and basically ate her three meals on the way. Occasionally, when she is running out of time for classes or exams, you can still see her sprinting 100 meters on campus.
At this time, the advantages of insisting on morning jogging are reflected. After running for a semester, Ling Sui is in great shape and can even climb several floors without gasping for breath.
Ling Suisui met Xiang Yanchu several times. The end of the semester is approaching, and she has to maintain the minimum attendance rate and come back for a few classes. However, because her usual grades are ridiculously low, the pressure of the final exam score is particularly great.
In the dormitory, Xiang Yanchu wanted to borrow notes from Ling Suisui for some classes.
Although they were in different classes, the common compulsory courses of the Performance Department were taught by the same teacher and taken in the same examination room.
Ling Suisui generously said it was no problem, then opened the drawer, revealing a large stack of photocopies.
"Because so many people came to borrow it. I guess you heard it from your classmates. So I made a lot of copies. You can take whatever you want."
Xiang Yanchu was impressed by the show, and Ling Sui's image as a top student was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
However, there are only two of them in the dormitory now. Xiang Yanchu didn't know what to say at this moment. The silence around her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She tried to find a topic: "Well... I watched the episode of Reasoning in Progress where you were an NPC. Jia Zhenzhen's performance was amazing."
"Zhang Kexin, who recorded the show with you, is my teammate. She always praised you when she mentioned you. Later, I told her that you were my roommate, and she asked a lot of questions about you."
——Although, she basically couldn't answer it.
Because she rarely went back to school, she was not really familiar with Ling Suisui.
Ling Suisui politely replied: "Is that so? We can go out and play together some other day. Let's choose a secret room with horror elements."
"Okay, okay." Xiang Yanchu understood immediately, "Zhang Kexin is both naive and playful, maybe I can scare her to death."
The atmosphere in the dormitory finally became better after talking about mutual friends.
Xiang Yanchu breathed a sigh of relief and said half-jokingly: "I thought you hated me."
"You think too much. I won't."
Ling Suisui turned a page of review materials and said, "Actually, the rest of us don't mind it. You're the only one who's still upset about that performance mistake."
After all, except Xiang Yanchu, everyone in the five-member group was in the experimental class, and they had completed several group assignments together this semester.
This was a bit heartbreaking to hear, and Xiang Yanchu laughed awkwardly twice.
But she admitted that Ling Suisui was right. This was indeed a thorn in her heart. If she didn't pull it out, it would only get deeper and deeper, making her feel uncomfortable every time she thought of it.
She simply asked Ling Suisui: "Do you think I should turn down all my work and concentrate on going back to school?"
These words were obviously said out of anger. Xiang Yanchu and Ling Suisui both knew that this was impossible.
She is a member of a limited girl group that debuted through a talent show, and Antenna Video and her agency would definitely not agree to it.
Ling Suisui looked at her and said, "This is your life, you make your own decision, why ask me? Even if you want to find a reference, you should ask Chen Yuening or other artists who are working and studying part-time."
Xiang Yanchu was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid it's not up to me to make the decision."
Ling Suisui smiled: "If you could do it again, would you still participate in the talent show?"
This question made it difficult for Xiang Yanchu to say no, so Ling Suisui said, "Look, you don't reject your current life that much. Since you are so easy-going, don't blame the company for not following your plan."
Seeing Yan Chu so confused, Ling Sui said a few more words.
"Actually, when I said, 'I don't understand why you came to film school,' I wasn't being sarcastic."
"Have you thought about your future development path? Do you want to continue singing and dancing as a singer, or switch to film and television as an actor? Now your group has a lot of resources, what will you do after disbanding? Will your resources be downgraded? Have you thought about it?"
"The company doesn't agree with you reducing your exposure for the sake of your studies because it would sacrifice short-term benefits. Is there a possibility that the deeper meaning behind this is that they are not optimistic about and do not intend to invest in your future?"
Ling Suisui said it so lightly that Xiang Yanchu felt a chill down his spine.
No...she never thought about that.
She only knew that she had to follow the company's arrangements, and she thought that since she had many fans and was very popular, the company would definitely continue to support her...
"You need to think about it." Ling Suisui advised her, "Don't waste your talent and time."
Xiang Yanchu got up and left nervously. Ling Suisui reminded her that it was raining outside and she should remember to bring an umbrella.
Looking back to that year, she also came in the rain.
**
Rehearsal room.
Ling Sui's consciousness returned to her body from the study room. From an observer's perspective, it looked like she had just woken up.
She took off her steam eye mask and found that she was covered with two coats.
One is hers, and the other... Oh, it’s Chen Yuening who is here. He is sitting next to her reading the script.
"Thank you. I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic about your classmates."
"……You're welcome."
Chen Yuening took the coat she returned and put it on.
He said, "Why are you sleeping right in the rehearsal room? You'll easily catch a cold this way."
Ling Suisui thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. I'll order a quilt right now, the kind that can be folded into a hand warmer."
Chen Yuening: "You...had a conflict with your roommate?"
"No, you're overthinking it again." Ling Suisui shook his head while browsing his phone, "I just want to save time going back and forth, so I'll just take a lunch break here."
Anyway, as long as her consciousness enters the study room, her body can be forced to sleep anywhere.
Chen Yuening was stunned: "Sui Sui, you are working too hard, aren't you? It's just a final report, it shouldn't be that serious."
Ling Sui didn't say much to him. They have different identities and status, so their attitudes towards things must be different.
The story of the little horse crossing the river was taught in elementary school textbooks.
She turned on the tablet's front camera, fixed her hair in front of the screen, and asked him:
"How did you like the script?"
The grouping for their final performance was decided by drawing lots. This group consists of four men and four women, with a very balanced ratio of men to women, and there is a wide range of scripts to choose from.
Unlike the group next door who drew seven men and one woman, I heard that they are already considering whether to play Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, or the Calabash Brothers taking turns saving their grandfather.
After online discussions, Ling Sui's group decided to perform a period drama.
The reason is simple: the costumes for period dramas are easy to find, the lines are down-to-earth and easy to remember, and the stage sets have ready-made props. Moreover, it is too easy to create dramatic conflicts between relatives in period dramas.
The script Chen Yuening received was incomplete. Some lines only had outlines, and he had to fill in the specific words and sentences himself. After all, this play was created collectively by them, and there was no dedicated screenwriter.
However, she had already filled in some of the scenes where he and Ling Sui were acting against each other, and wrote next to them that they could be adjusted if not satisfied.
"Thank you Sui Sui, you've worked so hard." Chen Yuening was a little embarrassed, "I'll treat you to a meal."
It turned out that she was so busy that she took a nap in the training room. This made Chen Yuening feel more and more guilty.
Ling Sui tied her hair into a neat high ponytail, looked at him and said:
"You have been saying this since the beginning of the school year, but I have only eaten your cake."
Besides, he was overthinking it.
Not only him, but also the scenes where Ling Suisui and other team members acted against each other, she wrote the first version of the lyrics, after all, she was the team leader.
Chen Yuening: "... Let's go tonight. I'll reserve a table now. What do you want to eat?"
"No, I'm just saying it casually."
Ling Suisui turned off the tablet and said, "I have other plans tonight, so I don't have time to have dinner with you."
Chen Yuening joked: "It seems that it is much harder to get a number here than in a restaurant."
"Yes, the people who want to date me are lining up from here to Paris. You can go to the Palace of Versailles and wait."
Ling Suisui changed the subject: "Besides treating me to a meal, you have other ways to thank me, and I think it's more affordable and safer."
"I will be joining the crew of Ding Feng Bo next month. The director is Ge Kun. You have worked with him before, can you tell me a little about him? It would be great if it can help me with the filming."
Ling Suisui looked up director Ding Fengbo's information and discovered that Chen Yuening had appeared in his previous works.
Although it happened several years ago, he probably hasn't forgotten it completely.
Ling Suisui felt that Chen Yuening deserved to be thanked enough. It wasn't just because she helped him fill in the lines, but also because she eliminated both Guo Quan and Yan Kai, leaving all the resources to him.
Although the latter incident can only be regarded as a chain reaction, he should be grateful and repay the favor!
Chen Yuening was a little surprised when he heard about the Ding Fengbo project.
He was not as well-informed as Ji Zhaoying, and although he did not know the specific details, he knew that this was a big project.
"Congratulations."
Chen Yuening asked her, "So you said you have plans tonight, are you preparing for this play?"
"No, I need to review for the final exam. I have to memorize the key points of the college students' mental health exam tonight."
I don’t know if this course will be useful after I finish it, but when Ling Sui saw such long review materials, I felt terrible.
When it comes to mental health, Chen Yuening couldn't help but put on a mask of pain.
He said solemnly, "I have to write a paper for this course... It's so annoying. If I'm unhealthy, it's all because of this!"
After the two of them complained about mental health, Ling Suisui got back to the point and asked him about director Ge Kun.
Chen Yuening thought carefully for a moment and told her:
"Director Ge has very high requirements for the aesthetics of the shots. If he thinks the picture is not good-looking, he will reshoot it repeatedly."
"For the same scene, he may have to express it from many different angles. Although the finished product is very good, it is a big test for the actors to maintain their state, because your emotions must not be interrupted."
"However, he is quite flexible in storytelling and very tolerant of actors' improvisations. If you feel that a certain action or a line can be expressed in a better way during the performance, you can tell him and he will consider the actor's opinions appropriately."
Chen Yuening paused here, and Ling Suisui seemed to understand something.
She looked around and saw that they were the only two people here, so she asked directly: "The higher the status, the greater the chance that your opinions will be adopted?"
Chen Yuening nodded and gave her a look that said "you know".
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "I think this is not tolerance towards actors, but tolerance towards big stars."
Chen Yuening was also helpless. Some celebrities were indeed very unprofessional. In order to highlight their own "highlights", they arbitrarily changed the script and ruined their personalities.
But there is no other way. Only with their presence can the project attract investment, and the director can only compromise with them.
After all, if the two sides fail to reach an agreement, it is hard to say who the investors will ask to leave.
Through communication with Chen Yuening, Ling Suisui had a clear idea of Director Ge Kun's working style.
His persistence in lens aesthetics may be his final principle and bottom line.
As for the others...the director is just an employee on the set.
"The whole thing about changing the script has become sour."
Chen Yuening sighed, "In the past, directors, screenwriters, and actors worked together on the set, all thinking about how to make the show better and more logical. Thanks to some people, now when it comes to changing the script, it's just celebrities being arrogant."
Ling Suisui: "Don't think too much, the audience has eyes and can see. If there are things that really need to be changed, there is no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. As for those who will use this as an excuse to criticize you, in their eyes, even breathing is wrong."
The actors understand their roles through the script, and the screenwriters will also generate new inspiration based on the actors' performances during the crew process. Only by integrating the two can excellent creations be better implemented.
It is not advisable to make changes to the script, but we cannot do so in a one-size-fits-all manner either.
Chen Yuening nodded in agreement, but felt something was wrong.
Wait, he has debuted and she is still an amateur, so he should be the one passing on experience to her, why is it the other way around?
He didn't have time to think too much, because Ling Suisui had already opened the script and was about to further refine their lines for the scene together.
The script they are going to perform this time is a period drama about the division of the family property among the eldest son, the second son and the third son.
Chen Yuening plays the most favored third son Ai Min, while Ling Suisui plays the eldest sister Jinhua who is pulled back and forth by her younger brothers to ask her for help but is tacitly excluded from the distribution of property by them.
Chen Yuening pointed out that according to the character setting, Jinhua is ten years older than Aimin, and Aimin was basically raised by her personally.
He felt that to Jinhua, Aimin was her younger brother and also like a son.
Ling Suisui: "What you said makes sense. I have thought of this as well. So when you talk about loving the country and the party, you are being polite to me. After all, you want me to speak for them. But your attitude is more natural. You think I will definitely be partial to you. If I don't do that, you will be angry."
"...Ah? I thought I would be closer to you, but not to this extent."
“You have to bring in the content of the period drama and think about it in conjunction with that era.”
Ling Suisui pointed out, "Think about it, you have a low level of education, you are the youngest son, and you are spoiled by the whole family. In this context, you definitely have no sense of morality and will not consider your sister. It is your instinct to exploit the female members of the family. In fact, all three of you brothers are like this."
Chen Yuening: …
He said weakly: "Can you use Ai Min instead of the second person?"
She was obviously talking about the role, and she was talking about the role, but when she said it in a complaining tone, he really broke into a sweat.
Ling Suisui said seriously: "You haven't gotten into the role yet, I'm just trying to make you feel more involved."
"What we are going to discuss next is the scenes after I expose your true identity as a vampire. I am still considering whether I should scold you a few more times to help you come up with some inspiration for your lines."
Chen Yuening quickly shook his head to refuse. Although he had never seen Ling Suisui swear, he obviously didn't want to experience it himself.
The two were chatting and waiting in the rehearsal room, and the members of the group arrived one after another.
Ling Suisui organized everyone to go over the script. Under her strict standards, although some problems were solved, more problems emerged.
She recorded them one by one on a tablet and decided who should solve each problem. In group work, the most taboo thing is unclear responsibilities and authorities, with multiple people responsible for the same thing.
Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening confirmed: "You can stay in school until the performance. You won't leave again, right?"
"No, the year-end activities are all done, and the New Year's will be after the performance."
That’s good. Ling Sui divided the group into several smaller groups based on everyone’s review schedule.
It is more efficient to rehearse separately, and then rehearse together for group performances.
The pointer pointed to six o'clock, and Ling Sui allowed everyone to disperse and have dinner.
Chen Yuening asked her: "Are you really not going to eat? I'll book a private room and we can review in there."
Ling Suisui didn't even raise his head: "Then if we're photographed by paparazzi, you'll be scolded to death by your agent, and I'll be scolded to death by your fans. We both have a bright future."
Chen Yuening: …
Before she officially entered the circle, she was already the number one person who avoided suspicion and the number one person who ruined the atmosphere.
If Ling Sui knew what he was thinking, she would definitely laugh.
Women should rely on themselves, be confident and beautiful, and men should stay away from them.
Ling Sui packed her things and went to the cafeteria to get food. Her mind was now very confused and mixed.
On one side is the gentle and considerate ancient noblewoman Qin Xian, and on the other side is Jin Hua, a woman living in the countryside. In between are the key points of the college students' mental health test...
Damn it, why can’t the human brain process files in partitions like a computer? But the contrast between these two characters is too great.
Ling Suisui had to imitate Qin Xian's manners, body posture, eyes and smile, all of which had to be gentle and elegant; he also had to consider Jin Hua's cultural level, and speak and act in a simple and rough manner, without being able to act out loud or lose face.
System: [Host, are you really not afraid of having a split personality? 】
Ling Suisui: [Shut up, I can do it. 】
Isn’t it just about entering and exiting the play, jumping back and forth between roles?
It doesn't matter, she is a professional actress, there will be no problem.
The more difficult the challenge, the more it can temper her perseverance.
If you feel that the road ahead is difficult to walk on, then you must be on an uphill road!
Ling Suisui recited the inspirational recipe he found on the Internet and packed some boiled shrimp and stir-fried beef with lettuce.
She doesn't even eat white rice anymore, she only eats whole grain rice. Without affecting her health, she had to try her best to fit Qin Xian's "slender and fragile" character image.
...Well, if possible, Ling Suisui would certainly like to prepare for the two roles separately, but the actual situation does not allow it.
The date for the final performance is January 16th, and the filming of "Ding Feng Bo" will start on the 17th.
More importantly, the crew will first shoot the content when the male protagonist was a prince, and the scenery in Hengdian is almost completed.
In other words, Ling Suisui not only had to attend the opening ceremony right after winter vacation, but also had to start filming on the same day, with almost no buffer time between the two roles.
The only good news is that all exams for the Department of Acting are scheduled before January 16, so she doesn't have to prepare for the exams while filming, nor does she have to apply for a deferred exam.
As for the option of asking for leave from the crew, it never appeared in Ling Suisui's alternative plans.
The character of Qin Xian basically revolves around the male lead. In other words, Ling Suisui's rival scenes are mainly shot with Ying Nian.
Should the drama's leading male star Ying Nian go to coordinate with her schedule? Come on, she doesn't dare to dream that way.
Even though Ji Zhaoying said that he was easy to get along with, Ling Suisui knew that was only true for people in their circle.
Although Ling Suisui was aware of the reality, he was not discouraged.
Now is now, later is later. She doesn't compare herself with others, as long as she can move forward in the right direction.
With this idea in mind, she used the "efficiency improvement buff" and opened the key points of the college students' mental health examination.
Whether it is Jinhua or Qin Xian, just leave them aside for now until she finishes this course.
Come on, let this knowledge flood her mind. It’s just an exam, it’s just a thesis, she can do it!
Ling Sui was reading a book with headphones on. After Wen Jiayan and Xia Tian returned to the dormitory, she didn't respond no matter how they called her.
Wen Jiayan: "If I hadn't seen her still turning pages and reciting, I would have doubted whether she was alive."
Xia Tian: “It’s normal. Every year, this mental health course drives a few college students crazy. Then the school will strengthen the emphasis on mental health courses, specifically by assigning more papers on mental health.”
Wen Jiayan: ...
What a difficult sentence, what a terrible vicious circle.
After the efficiency-enhancing buff took effect, Ling Suisui continued to remain focused.
It wasn't until her physiological needs reminded her that it was time to go to the bathroom that she took off her headphones and got up from the chair.
After she came out, Wen Jiayan said to her, "Sui Sui, after the performance on the 16th, let's go to Hai Lao together in our dormitory. It's just the right time to make up for the birthday party we didn't hold for you before."
Ling Suisui shook his head: "No, I have to join the group on the 17th."
"Ah? What crew? Didn't you turn down all those short plays that came to you?"
“It’s not a skit, it’s a joyful project.”
Xia Tian turned around and asked: "Ding Fengbo?"
Ling Sui nodded at her without showing any expression.
Xia Tian never told her identity or who her parents were, and Ling Suisui would never tell her for her.
Whether she wanted to keep a low profile or for other reasons, in Ling Suisui's heart, Xia Tian was just her roommate Xia Tian.
"What is Ding Fengbo?" Wen Jiayan was confused and didn't understand.
She didn't even know what the "joy" they were talking about was. It was only after she checked online that she realized how big the project was and how awesome the company was.
Ling Suisui is so awesome... Wen Jiayan's eyes were filled with envy.
Although they were roommates, the distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther.
Wen Jiayan: "After filming this drama, won't you make your debut?"
Maybe, Ling Sui shrugged.
Since the advent of the traffic era, the boundary between "celebrity" and "ordinary people" has become increasingly blurred, with "Internet celebrities" serving as a buffer zone in between. Anyway, with her current fame, she is 100% an amateur on the Internet.
If she becomes well-known in the circle after the broadcast of "Ding Feng Bo", she should be considered as... an amateur with some improvement.
These days, even the threshold to become an obscure celebrity is quite high.
After Xia Tian asked her what role she played, she gave Ling Suisui a subtle smile.
She asked, "You play Qin Xian, so do you and Ying Nian have a kissing scene? Will you really kiss?"
Ling Suisui: ...
Very good, she now believes that Xia Tian and Ji Zhaoying were good friends when they were young. Their first reactions are so similar!
When it comes to kissing scenes, Wen Jiayan also becomes excited.
"What, you and the male lead have a kissing scene? Are you the female lead?"
Ling Suisui explained to her first: "I'm not the heroine, I'm just a supporting actress. Ding Feng Bo is adapted from a male-oriented novel, and the main plot is the male protagonists fighting for supremacy. There are no female actors in the first three leading roles."
"As for the kissing scene... it wasn't in the script I got anyway."
Wen Jiayan was still a little disappointed: "I searched for Ying Nian's photos, he is quite handsome. If you can film a kissing scene with him, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Xia Tian almost couldn't hold back his laughter and quickly turned his back.
There's no way, she is too familiar with her cousin and can't tell what's so handsome about him.
Xia Tian never expected that someone would be so obsessed with his face, and that person was her roommate!
Ling Suisui said: "Then why don't you tell him that I'm so beautiful and it would be an honor for him to kiss me?"
"It's all about filming, kissing scenes are no different than other scenes. If it's in the script, I'll do it, if it's not in the script, then there won't be any."
Actors have their own professional qualities. As long as the plot requires it, it makes no difference to Ling Suisui no matter who the person she is kissing is or whether he is handsome or not.
——Of course, if the other person is too ugly, it will be considered as an industrial injury of the actress.
Ling Suisui searched Yingnian's information. Fortunately, although he was a resourceful person, he was not an ugly child of a capitalist.
Objectively speaking, he is included in the list of possible targets by the system, so his appearance is still good.
However, what does this have to do with Ling Suisui?
"Don't think too much about it." She said leisurely, "Have you finished writing your mental health papers?"
The answer to Ling Sui was a chorus of wailing. The complaints from the other two people were almost like a symphony orchestra.
Good, now she kind of understands the true meaning of this course.
As long as you are not the only one suffering, listening to the screams of others is indeed beneficial to your mental health.
**
The mental health of the entire performance department is in the same examination room, and candidates are seated according to their student numbers when they enrolled.
After Ling Suisui found her seat, she discovered that in front of her was Xiang Yanchu and on her left was Chen Yuening.
She joked: "If a fan could sneak in, they would definitely take a fancy to my prime spot."
Chen Yuening sighed, "Don't do that. Those who sneak in are called illegitimate children. Did you know that yesterday, during the sophomore exam for Ma Yuan, security guards entered the examination room to arrest people?"
"These days, even film school student ID cards can be forged. I really don't understand, if they really have nothing to do, why don't they find a job in a factory?"
Xiang Yanchu took a deep breath when he heard this, while Ling Suisui spread his hands helplessly.
This kind of thing is not something that artists can avoid whether they want to or not.
She said, "Let's change to a lighter topic. How are you reviewing?"
Chen Yuening: …
Xiang Yanchu: ...
Chen Yuening said weakly: "You didn't even open the two pots. You are really something."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Ling Suisui picked up the pen and made a shooting gesture. Chen Yuening cooperated by lying on the table and pretending that he had shot.
Well... this part is not entirely a performance, it can also be a true portrayal of his life after taking the exam. Ling Suisui will help him rehearse it first.
She asked, "How are the preparations for the performance going? If you forget the words again..."
She paused here, and Chen Yuening immediately raised his head.
"Sui Sui, don't worry. I have memorized all of Ai Min's lines, I guarantee that they are word for word correct, and this is the final version we checked the day before yesterday."
"If I make another mistake in tomorrow's rehearsal, I'll buy milk tea for the whole group."
"This punishment is too light. You are not short of money."
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "If you forget the words, the rest of our group will take turns tapping your head."
She also made a flicking motion with her thumb and index finger, and even though it was so far away, Chen Yuening already felt a little pain.
System: [Host, if you want to be an excellent sister-in-law, you should learn to be gentle and considerate. 】
Ling Suisui ignored it and continued reading with his head down.
System (automatic prompt): [Currently [Chen Yuening]'s favorability towards you is 93]
Compared with the data Ling Sui checked when he signed in today, it increased by 1 point.
system:……
Human emotions are really outrageous and complicated. It will not easily question its host again.
System: [Host, did you know that he likes this? 】
Ling Suisui hummed perfunctorily, but she didn't care what Chen Yuening liked, she was just like that anyway.
Not long after, Wen Jiayan and Xia Tian also arrived at the examination room one after another.
Xia Tian still had that stern face as if the whole world owed her money. Wen Jiayan always felt inexplicably excited and unnatural when she thought of Xiang Yanchu sitting behind her.
Whether they are celebrities or ordinary people, facing the upcoming exams, everyone took out their review materials and struggled to make their final efforts.
The exam lasted one and a half hours. Half an hour after the exam started, Ling Sui stood up and handed in his paper.
The classmates next to her looked at her back with mixed feelings, what a damn nerd!
Ling Suisui quickly found his schoolbag on the podium and walked out of the classroom carrying it. She hurried downstairs, jogged all the way to the south gate of the school, and got on the online taxi that came to pick her up.
It was not Ling Sui's intention to write so quickly just now. Her wrist was also very tired. The reason why we are in such a hurry is because we have to take the final makeup photos of "Ding Feng Bo" today.
In this crew, she can only arrive early, not late.
After getting in the car, Ling Suisui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, she got on the bus five minutes earlier than planned, so she had some more time to make mistakes.
She deleted the mental health exam from her to-do list and temporarily put the memory of Jinhua into a corner.
Ling Suisui attaches great importance to every activity of the crew, and the crew's attitude towards her remains the same as always - casual.
But it was not directed at her. Supporting actors who had similar roles as her were also imprisoned in the dressing room, sitting there until the end of time in a long wait.
The leading actors will shoot first, and the supporting actors will wait, but it’s hard to say how long they will have to wait.
This is not only true for the final makeup photos, but also for the official filming of the crew.
Fortunately, compared to the NPCs in the mystery variety show, Ling Suisui has an exclusive seat this time.
The crew also provided melon seeds, fruits, tea and drinks, and the Wi-Fi in the dressing room was also good, so it wasn't too unbearable.
Except for Ling Suisui, other actors who needed to take makeup photos were all debuted artists, and each of them brought an assistant. She had to carry her own bag, pour her own tea, and peel the tangerines herself.
Of course, in order not to stain his hands yellow, Ling Sui was very restrained and only ate two.
During the previous makeup and styling adjustments, she has already met other actresses. Everyone also knows that she is still a student at the film academy and is not currently signed to any company.
Originally, everyone was a little skeptical about her being a parachuted-in celebrity with resources, until someone recognized her as Jia Zhenzhen, and then they began to believe that she had achieved the success based on her own real abilities.
Someone asked her, "Sui Sui, are you still not going to sign with a company? I think an agent should have contacted you."
When asked this question, Ling Sui didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
Indeed, many agents have approached her, including representatives from well-known companies in the entertainment industry, but Ling Suisui temporarily declined.
Given her current situation, she really doesn't need an agent or a company. Even if you need to handle some daily chores, hiring a temporary assistant will be enough.
Moreover, if she signed the agency contract now, Ling Sui was sure that she would have zero say in her career planning.
She worked hard to accumulate some good cards, not to become a cash cow for a company.
What Ling Sui said to Xiang Yanchu before was also advice to himself.
She had already changed into Qin Xian's costume and put on a headgear.
This costume is in the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties, with only a simple white cross-collared long gown and blue wide-sleeved imitation silk gauze.
Ling Suisui didn't expect to use real silk gauze, because that stuff was not only expensive, but also had poor wrinkle resistance and was easily worn and torn. It was impossible for such a delicate fabric to be worn by a supporting character.
If you want to wear silk gauze when filming, you have to be a big star with several assistants and someone to take care of your clothes.
To be honest, the costume fit her very well, which was a pleasant surprise for her.
Ling Sui sighed helplessly.
Every second and every moment since she crossed over, she has been overcoming the psychological gap. But unfortunately, the entertainment industry is a place where "class differences" are everywhere.
System: [Host, work hard to become a sister-in-law, and you will get everything you want. 】
System: [Think about Ying Nian. If you were his girlfriend, he would arrange any costume you wanted to wear. 】
Ling Suisui snorted in his heart and muted the system.
This set of rhetoric may be able to fool a girl who is not so determined, but forget it if you want to coax her.
She cannot rely on anyone else to get what she wants, she can only get it through her own efforts. Only then will it truly belong to her.
Besides, what’s wrong with imitation silk gauze?
Although it is not very breathable and not very comfortable to wear, it is strong and durable. She can move around without worrying about it getting damaged, which will not limit her performance when acting.
As for the difference in visual effects... it doesn't matter, Ling Suisui can use his face to support it.
She turned around in front of the full-length mirror, then straightened her back, tucked her chin in, and looked straight ahead.
Ling Sui had filmed many costume dramas before traveling through time, and had practiced her manners specifically.
Not hunching her back or leaning her neck forward are just basic skills; all her movements are driven by her waist, and each breathing has a distinct rhythm.
Ling Suisui, who had entered the state of a noble lady, gave the styling teacher a big surprise. On the day of the makeup trial, she was so busy communicating with the leading team that she didn't even notice that the actress who played Qin Xian was particularly good-looking.
This kind of beauty does not only refer to her pretty face, but also her overall temperament.
Whenever Ling Suisui stands there, she gives people a noble and elegant feeling. She even makes a 200-yuan photo studio-style outfit look like a 20,000-yuan custom-made one.
The stylist originally prepared a set of assembly-line hair accessories for her, but now she feels that they are too tacky and totally unsuitable for Ling Sui's face.
She asked Ling Suisui to return to her seat, re-tied her hair, and inserted a jade hairpin.
The styling assistant asked, "Is it too plain?"
Although the original bun hairstyle is very common, it is still elegant and gorgeous, and can support a full set of hair accessories.
Now the adjustment... the stylist changed it to half-down hair, and just simply tied a few knots at the back.
Stylist: "Qin Xian's character is Bai Yueguang, so she looks good when she is simple and elegant! The male lead's makeup is tough, but she needs to be gentle and tender, so that the sexual tension can be better highlighted."
What the stylist didn't say is that this actress's face can withstand the camera, so there is no need for fancy styling to cover up certain flaws in her facial features. She is truly 360 degrees without blind spots.
When styling her, the audience should be guided to appreciate her original, unpackaged beauty, so as to amplify the lethality of Bai Yueguang.
Following this line of thought, the makeup artist also went for a fresh, pseudo-natural look when putting makeup on her.
If it were on other actresses’ faces, such light makeup would only be “eaten up” by the camera and would not show any effect, but this is exactly what Qin Xian’s makeup is pursuing.
The makeup artist even felt that it would be enough to just apply some foundation and brighten her complexion.
"The director will definitely praise you when he sees you later!" she said while putting on makeup, "You are truly the most elegant actress I have ever seen."
Ling Suisui kept smiling and thanked her.
She slowed down her speech slightly, to about 0.9 times her usual speed. This can highlight the character's leisurely and calm nature without being too exaggerated and making people feel deliberate and pretentious.
The staff shouted at the door: "Who is the teacher who plays Qin Xian? It's your turn to take pictures. Is Teacher Qin Xian here?"
"Here I come."
Ling Sui raised her hand in response. She felt that her name would be "Qin Xian" for some time to come.
She lifted the corner of her big-sleeved shirt and walked towards the studio, still wearing sneakers, because her feet wouldn't be captured in the makeup photos anyway.
When Ling Sui came over, the director just thought she was pretty, but there were too many pretty female artists in the circle.
It wasn't until Ling Sui stood facing the camera that her aura became natural and radiated from the inside out.
The director's eyes lit up, and he said to the man next to him, "The actress you recommended is really good. The girl fits the role setting of Qin Xian very well."
The person sitting next to the director was Ying Nian. He smiled. In fact, this was also the first time he and Ling Sui met.
When he first agreed to Ji Zhaoying, he just wanted to do her a favor and thought that anyone could play the role. He didn't expect Ling Suisui to surprise him.
But when I looked at her photos at that time, I didn’t think she was that type?
In fact, half of the change in Ling Sui's temperament after putting on the costume comes from the plasticity of her facial features and eye expression, and the other half comes from the change in body shape.
Many people think that temperament is something innate and mysterious, but it is not. For actors, temperament can be switched and achieved through body language and visual effects.
To be more specific, temperament is a reflection of personality, and the "really listen, really watch, really feel" often emphasized in acting classes is to enable actors to learn to observe and imitate characters so that they can grasp the characters' personalities and shape them through body and language.
The first step for Ling Suisui to become Qin Xian is to uphold the demeanor of an ancient noble lady.
Dress properly, stand upright, with feet slightly apart, left hand covering the right hand and tucked inside the sleeve, letting it hang naturally in front of the abdomen.
Daughters raised by wealthy families are expected to have this kind of attitude.
In the second step, Ling Suisui took the props and used a few small movements to outline the character.
She held the round fan horizontally in her right hand and looked slightly downward. Her lowered eyes diluted the solemnity of her posture, and the camera's focus shifted from her whole body to her unmade-up face.
The most critical step is to find out Qin Xian’s personality traits.
She is kind, gentle, and elegant... These labels can be used to describe many female characters, but what is unique to Qin Xian is righteousness.
Therefore, she would lend a helping hand to the male protagonist in trouble, would take the initiative to volunteer when the princess is in crisis, and would take the dagger and carry out an assassination operation that could not be reversed at the cost of her life.
Qin Xian does have a gentle and quiet side, but to define her simply by this label is to underestimate the value of her white moonlight.
While changing his movements according to the photographer's instructions, Ling Sui met Ying Nian's gaze.
He was still wearing the costume of Zhao Yan (the name of the male protagonist in Ding Feng Bo), and at this moment he was crossing his arms across his chest and raised his eyebrows at her.
Ling Sui covered her face with a fan, her expression seemed shy and timid, but the look she gave him was meaningful and contained a hint of provocation, which made Ying Nian unable to help but imagine her hooking her finger and calling him over.
He chuckled, took out his phone and sent a message to Ji Zhaoying.
[Your friend is quite interesting. ]
Ji Zhaoying replied immediately: [Have you seen Zhenzhen? ]
Zhenzhen? Yingnian was a little confused.
He thought that this might be Ling Sui's nickname, or her real name.
[Ying Nian: Yes, we’re taking the final makeup photos today.] ]
[Ying Nian: She is very attached to Qin Xian, and the screenwriters next to her are all shining with delight. ]
[Ji Zhaoying: I told you it’s no problem. Look at the person I recommended. He will be of great help to you. ]
[Ji Zhaoying: You owe me a favor, so return it to Zhenzhen. Remember to take good care of her on the set. ]
Year: ...
This isn't right. If there's any debt, it should be owed by the two of them. How come the relationship is reversed?
The screenwriter told them: "I just took a photo of an actor and sent it to the author. He sent several rows of exclamation marks and said that the actress was Qin Xian herself. He was also full of inspiration and wanted to write a sequel for Qin Xian right away."
The director laughed: "Does he regret writing Qin Xian to death?"
"I guess there is, haha."
The actor who had similar roles to Ling Suisui left after only a few minutes of filming, after all, he didn't need that much material.
But under the director's arrangement, Ling Suisui has already changed to a third prop. The director even asked her to change into another costume and take more photos to test the effect.
Ling Sui changed into a light blue costume. The pattern of this long-sleeved shirt was quite gorgeous, so her hairstyle became more refined and she even used a hair bun.
While taking pictures, she thought, Chen Yuening was right, what Ge Kun cared about most was looking good.
Not only is the main film good looking, but even the materials are guided by his aesthetic.
The photographer took several sets of photos and the director was very satisfied.
He also said, "Yingnian, go up and take a few photos with Xiaoling so we can save more material."
Yingnian said hello, then stood up and walked towards Ling Suisui.
When the director suggested taking a group photo, Ling Suisui thought of several positions and poses based on the relationship between the characters. As a result, when Yingnian came over, the director said:
"Xiao Ling, turn around and face away from the camera. We'll film the way Zhao Yan looks at Qin Xian from your perspective."
Ling Suisui: ...
Haha, I thought too much, it turns out she is just a tool.
It doesn’t matter, Ling Sui said to himself.
Even if it is only a back view, this is Qin Xian's material and she will take it seriously.
She picked up the prop peach branch and looked at Yingnian with a smile on her face.
Ling Sui's eyes were filled with Qin Xian's appreciation and admiration for Zhao Jing. When Yingnian looked over, she looked away again and admired the peach buds in her hands.
Ying Nian's heart seemed to be scratched by her. At this moment, his expression was captured by the camera.
Director: "The film turned out well, Ying Nian's eyes are very good. You two seem to have a good couple feeling."
Ying Nian suddenly realized that he was just being led into the play by Ling Suisui?
Moreover, he was led by the performance of a new actress?
Yingnian was a little surprised and couldn't help but adjust his attitude towards Ling Suisui.
He remembered Ji Zhaoying's instructions to take good care of her friends, so he said:
"Let's flip the previous picture and also take a picture of the way Qin Xian looks at me."
The director and photographer naturally had no objection to Yingnian’s request.
Ling Suisui mouthed "thank you" to him, Ying Nian replied "you're welcome", and they smiled at each other.
After taking this set of pictures, Ling Sui finished work. But she didn't go back to the dressing room, but was called by the screenwriter to go behind the monitor.
The screenwriter said to her, "The author of Ding Feng Bo's original novel likes you so much that he wants an autographed photo of you. Is that okay?"
"Of course, it's my pleasure."
Ling Suisui was a little surprised, but said modestly: "But I'm not a star yet."
"You will be famous sooner or later." The director next to him said confidently, "When our drama is broadcast, actresses of your age may not be able to sleep at night~"
Ling Suisui quickly waved her hands and said, "Director, you're too kind. What you said is really too exaggerated. As a newcomer, she couldn't bear it."
She took the Polaroid photo and signed her name on it. Because the photo paper was too small, she wrote the word "穗" a little tight.
It seems time to design a signature font, she thought.
Ying Nian asked her, "Is this your real name?"
"Yes." Ling Suisui nodded. "My name is Ling Suisui on my ID card. I have used this name since I was a child."
"What about Zhenzhen? Is that a nickname?"
Ling Suisui glanced at him and said, "It was Ji Zhaoying who called me Zhenzhen. She must have sent you my performance video, but you definitely didn't watch it."
Ying Nian felt a little guilty about what he was saying. He raised his hands and said, "My bad. I'll go check it out later."
He changed the subject: "What year are you in the film school? Is winter break here?"
"I'm a freshman. Our school's official holiday time is a bit late, but the experimental class will have a final performance on the 16th, so we'll be fine after the performance."
Ying Nian nodded. She joined the group seamlessly, which was really a bit hard.
He added Ling Sui's contact information, and when he was looking through her circle of friends, he unexpectedly found Xia Tian's likes.
"Do you know Xia Tian?"
"Yeah, she's my roommate."
Ying Nian smiled and said, "It's a small world. Xia Tian is my cousin."
"You're going back to school later, right? Don't take a taxi. I'll take you back and visit her while you're there."
After he said this, people around him cast gossipy looks at him.
The director looked at them with an even more ambiguous look - he knew that Yingnian and Xile had recommended Ling Suisui.
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ying, but I have other things to do later, so I probably won't be able to take your ride."
"I'm going back to the dressing room first. You've worked hard today, and the teachers have worked hard."
After she finished speaking, she bowed to them all before turning and leaving.
Ling Suisui ran away so quickly that Ying Nian stayed there and thought for a while before he figured out the reason for her sudden change in attitude.
Really... Ying Nian was a little amused and helpless. Was it really necessary to be so nervous? People are almost treating him as a monster.
The Film Academy was not far away, and it was also on the way to his next destination, so he offered to give her a ride.
The assistant asked, "Brother, are we going to the film school later?"
Ying Nian originally wanted to say that he would not go, but after thinking about it, he said:
"Of course I will. Please help me buy some snacks and fruits from the nearby supermarket. I will bring them to Xia Tian."
Forget it, it would be nice to go and see the summer.
Female artists who have just entered the circle are indeed afraid of being surrounded by scandals. He was just reckless just now.
**
After Ling Sui returned to the dormitory, the first thing she did was to go to the balcony to wash her face and remove her makeup.
When she came out, she found that all members of 404 were present today.
Wen Jiayan asked her, "Sui Sui, where did you go after the exam?"
"We went to take the final makeup photos for Ding Fengbo." Ling Suisui said as he wiped his face with a towel, "I sat there for several hours and my waist hurts."
She sat down and opened the script for the final performance.
She just found Qin Xian's state today, and has to switch to Jinhua tomorrow. This is really tiring for her.
Wen Jiayan was still asking her about the crew, including whether the male lead was handsome and whether the other actors were easy to get along with. Ling Suisui tried to answer in short sentences, and the pen in his hand never stopped marking.
"Ying Nian looks OK... The crew is all very nice... Just wait for the photo shoot... I can't tell you the plot... I don't have any photos of today, these are crew materials..."
Seeing that Wen Jiayan's curiosity seemed endless, Ling Suisui could only say:
"Ayan, I still have to look at the script for the final performance. I'll talk to you another day when I'm free."
Having said this, Wen Jiayan realized that she had disturbed Ling Suisui.
"I'm sorry, Suisui, I'm just too curious. Does your crew need any other roles? Even extras are fine."
Ling Suisui: "...I'm just an actor, not a producer. Finding actors is not my responsibility."
"Besides, the work of extras has nothing to do with the acting we learn. Most of the time, they are just background actors. If you feel like you have nothing to do during the winter vacation, rehearsing a few plays is much more meaningful than being an extra."
After hearing her words, Wen Jiayan was very disappointed.
She actually wanted to ask Ling Suisui how he got into the crew of "Ding Feng Bo", but she was worried that it would be difficult to ask about matters involving resources, and Ling Suisui would not answer.
Xia Tian poked his head out: "Sui Sui, did Ying Nian offend you today? He tried all kinds of tricks to get information out of me, asking about your preferences. I felt that his tone was a little guilty."
ah? Ling Sui was a little surprised.
To be honest, when she left, she was actually prepared for Yingnian to "hold a grudge" against her.
After all, many male stars are used to being praised by fans, so they feel that their charm is unmatched and that all women in the world like them.
If they show kindness but are rejected, they will never think about whether this will cause trouble to others, but will be very sure that the woman is ungrateful or she is trying to play hard to get with them.
It sounds outrageous, but this is the real experience that Ling Sui has accumulated in the entertainment industry.
Think about it, ordinary men can be full of confidence, let alone male celebrities who are praised by their fans?
Therefore, the fact that Ying Nian could actually realize that this would cause her trouble made Ling Suisui feel that... he was a normal person.
——She wouldn’t be moved, because Ling Suisui didn’t have the habit of treating normal behavior as a rare treasure after being pua for a long time.
She checked the system's [Yingnian] favorability value and found that it had risen to 71.
Although it is not as high as Chen Yuening's initial impression score, that was her "life-saving grace" to Chen Yuening, which is definitely incomparable.
Ling Suisui replied to Xia Tian: "It's not a big deal. If he really wants to ask, I like playing with building blocks."
Building blocks are a good thing, they have clear directions and can be solved with money. If Ying Nian felt a little sorry for her, he would probably be willing to spend money to offset the guilt.
Moreover, even if the fact that Yingnian gave her building blocks is exposed in the future, this gift that has nothing to do with ambiguity can be characterized as friendship between colleagues. At worst, she could just say that Yingnian wanted to give it to Xia Tian and she was just collecting it on his behalf.
Ling Suisui: As long as I think enough, gossip will never catch up with me.jpg
Xiang Yanchu asked curiously: "Xia Tian, do you know Ying Nian?"
"He is my cousin."
"Ah?" Wen Jiayan poked her head out from behind the bed curtain in shock, "Ying Nian is your cousin?!"
"Then why didn't you tell us before? We didn't know!"
"You didn't ask." Xia Tian looked puzzled. "Do I have to put a label on my face or tie a piece of cloth saying Ying Nian is my brother?"
Xiang Yanchu couldn't help but laughed. Wen Jiayan was not familiar with her and felt even more embarrassed after hearing her laughter.
She wanted to ask Xia Tian whether she was the one who introduced Ling Sui to film "Ding Feng Bo", but she hesitated several times and couldn't ask.
So what if it is, so what if it isn’t, in Xia Tian’s heart, Ling Suisui is definitely the priority.
In this dormitory, Ling Suisui has already been exposed to film and television resources, and Xiang Yanchu is even a popular idol. Wen Jiayan had thought that Xia Tian and she were on the same starting line before, but now it seems...
Well, she is the cousin of a celebrity, if she wants to get into the circle, there must be someone to help her, but she is nothing.
Wen Jiayan lay back on the bed in a daze, unable to stop sighing in her heart.

The next day, Ling Suisui came to the rehearsal room early.
The team members haven't arrived yet, and Ling Suisui is practicing his lines from the script.
She had memorized the content, and just tried to speak more naturally by comparing it with the unstressed and stressed tones she had marked.
Chen Yuening watched her from the side and gave some suggestions as she requested.
“It’s already very good.”
Chen Yuening said matter-of-factly, "The lines flowed smoothly, the intonation also rose and fell, and your voice really became thicker, which gave it a Jinhua feel."
Ling Suisui felt that it was not enough. She recorded it and listened to it herself, and found that the processing in some places still seemed awkward, the tone was not so natural, and it sounded a bit pretentious.
It seems that when she played Jinhua, she had not completely separated herself from Qin Xian.
"I'm not into the role enough..." Ling Suisui was a little worried, "I need to find someone to practice with, so that I can better immerse myself in the role."
Chen Yuening pointed at himself and said, "Me, I'll practice the scenes with you first. Which scene do you want to practice?"
Ling Suisui picked out the most intense part of the argument between the two and yelled at Chen Yuening at the top of his lungs.
After yelling, she slowly found some feeling.
But this alone is not enough. Ling Suisui feels that the emotional outburst of Jinhua in his body is still not strong enough.
By the way... considering Jinhua’s character setting, isn’t it a bit too polite to only use her mouth when arguing?
Ling Suisui picked up the prop broom in the rehearsal room and said to Chen Yuening, "Let's experience the role immersively."
Chen Yuening: "What do you want... Wait, put it down, don't come over here!"
Seeing his disappointing younger brother running around the field because of being scared by him, Ling Sui nodded with satisfaction.
Very good, the feeling of Jinhua is completely in place!
The author has something to say:
*There will be some friction in dormitory 404, but don’t worry, there won’t be any conflicts.
*The difficulty of the college student mental health course in this chapter is a private setting, and it should be quite simple in reality.
