Chapter 120
A smooth sword swinging process can be called a successful fighting scene.
Yin Mingcheng is very cautious about how long the Freedom House series can last.
He discussed this issue with several leading actors. Chen Lin and others were very positive and said that they could continue filming as the audiences were willing to watch it and that everything would be easy with you in charge. However, Bian Yuanzhou's attitude was more neutral and vague and he did not give the director a clear answer.
Yin Mingcheng knew that Bian Yuanzhou had been in the comedy industry for several years and had plenty of resources. It would be good for him to continue filming Freedom House, but there would be no big loss if he stopped. He definitely cared more about the quality of his work.
The remaining leading actors, especially Chen Lin, who was born in Xiu Ren, were counting on Freedom House to produce more films. In the eyes of many people, this is their masterpiece and the peak of the character's national popularity.
When Ling Suisui was asked this question, she thought for a while and gave the answer: "If you and the screenwriter have hesitated, then stop here."
Although she is not an expert in the field of literary creation, she understands the importance of "creative desire". The reason they have such a dilemma is that they must have felt pain during the creation of the third season and lost confidence in the future stories.
In fact, if the second season hadn’t left some holes, all the work for the third season would have already begun, and Ling Suisui even felt that it would be fine to just shoot the first two seasons. After all, only the scripts for these two seasons were produced in one go and in their entirety.
Even if the time interval is not that long, it is hard to say whether the writing team can continue the mood of the second season when creating the third season.
Ling Sui-sui also mentioned a more realistic factor: "The further you go in the future, the harder it will be to coordinate the schedules of the leading actors. Will you wait for this and that, or will you replace them with new actors?"
"If we replace new actors, we will definitely have to write new roles, which involves the question of where to cast and whether the platform and producers will interfere."
"You've achieved great results in the first two seasons, so there must be a lot of companies that want to work with you. Instead of competing within the Freedom House series, why not start a new business and give your talents more opportunities to be utilized?"
- In other words, even if the new project fails, or its reputation is ruined, it will not affect Freedom House.
Everyone who has attended elementary school understands the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Yin Mingcheng went back and considered it carefully. Regardless of whether the third season was finished or not, Ling Suisui had to reserve time for it.
Zhang Wen: "Are you sure you won't take any roles next year and will only focus on Freedom House and that movie project?"
Up to now, Tang Bing’s film project doesn’t even have a name.
Although it was due to confidentiality requirements, the information was so scarce that if Tang Bing was not Ling Sui's biological teacher, Zhang Wen would advise her to consider it carefully, because who knows if the other party was just making empty promises to deceive you.
Ling Suisui nodded: "Yes. We don't know when the film will be finished, so let's schedule the cooperation with the planet for the third quarter of next year."
This is the earliest time she can accept. If Xingxing and Li Mingxu have to be postponed due to schedule or other reasons, Ling Suisui has no objection. It's not like she can't get other dramas, she is just waiting for this project.
Ling Sui-sui added: "What I just said was an estimate. If there is a gap in the middle of a big movie, I can also take on a new drama."
For example, Antenna has always wanted to cooperate with her, but it is still at the initial stage and there is no further communication.
"Are you considering variety shows? The time is more flexible."
"Forget it." She shook her head. "Sun Jiayi has left a deep impression on people. This kind of role filter is a pension insurance for my career development. If I become obscure one day, I won't be without movies to shoot. But it is also a limitation on my acting career. When the audience watches my new drama, they will easily think of Sun Jiayi."
With this preconceived impression, she needs more superb acting skills to allow the audience to immerse themselves in the new plot.
Compared to the roles she has played before, Shi Zhen's image is very subversive. This is a good opportunity for Ling Suisui to broaden her acting range.
Therefore, before the game is launched online, she wants to keep it a little more mysterious in front of the audience.
Today, she has long passed the stage where she needs to frequently appear on variety shows in order to be remembered by the audience.
Zhang Wen: "You're not going to Supernova either? This show invited you last year, but you had to film a movie at that time, so you turned it down."
Ling Suisui remembered that this was indeed the case.
“Time flies,” she said with emotion. “It was two years ago that I participated in the rock climbing and light rifle competitions.”
With Ling Sui's good start, even though she missed the Supernova Games last year, several female stars still showed up at the competition to arm wrestle with the male contestants, almost copying her routine from that year one to one, but unfortunately the splash they made was not as big as hers.
Ling Suisui doesn't mind being imitated. If they want to use this point for marketing, they have to really achieve this result. As long as they can do it, it's their ability.
"I still have to film this year."
Ling Suisui declined: "You set the bar a little too high before. If I go, I must win the championship, otherwise there will be hundreds of mocking posts waiting for me, but I don't have time to train now."
Her film contracts alone are already booked until the year after next.
After finishing the travel arrangements, Ling Suisui turned his attention back to the game crew.
At present, they have been shooting in the industrial park for more than a month. During this period, the Reuters coverage was relatively restrained, with only two or three blurry pictures circulated, which had little impact.
Because Ling Suisui repeatedly reminded Ai Tianming to find a reliable coordinator, and he also carefully selected the person, the filming mission of the crew went relatively smoothly.
Although the director is quite strict about the quality of the finished product and they occasionally work overtime, delaying the estimated shooting time by one or two hours, but compared with the crew who often stay up late and work all night long over a disagreement, this is simply a paradise.
All the actors thanked the crew for their careful arrangements, and Fu Ningyun said happily that she had come to the right place following Ling Suisui.
Ling Sui smiled without saying anything. She accounted for half of the more than a thousand scenes of the game crew. If the coordination was not done well, she would be the first to die of exhaustion.
Now the studio for shooting special effects fighting scenes has been set up, and looking around you can see a vast expanse of green. Ling Sui has previously filmed scenes with a one-handed sword (the initial prop) and a dagger, and now it's her turn to use the two-handed sword, her main weapon.
This sword also has a very cool name, called "Scarlet Abyss".
Ling Suisui once used reading comprehension to think about it. Was it implying that this weapon was fatal if it struck blood, and at the same time, because of its great lethality, it could easily drag the user into the abyss of killing?
You know what, I really mean it, whether it's the version she uses in combat or the close-up version, the red lines on the sword are really creepy if you look at it for a long time.
As a result, the original author told her that this was the weapon name she generated using a random naming tool, and there were no complicated tricks involved.
Ling Suisui: ...
Forget it. Considering that there were at least dozens of weapon names in the text, she felt that it was understandable that the author was lazy.
Shi Zhen's character is set as a magic swordsman, and the screenwriter further refined her combat methods during the film and television adaptation process.
If it is a group of small monsters, she will use magic to launch a large-scale group attack; if it is an elite monster or a big boss, she will fight in close combat with a sword.
After all, the advantage of a two-handed sword lies in close combat and individual battles. The user must not only have the strength to swing it, but also pay attention to the coordination of waist strength, footwork and wrist.
In the Doomsday game, there is a setting for "critical damage to vital positions", and this is also the advantage of melee professions over spellcasters. If it is a magic attack, no matter where it hits, it will only be counted as a normal attack.
Ling Sui spent a lot of time practicing the two-handed sword. She required herself to make every strike powerful and use continuous action shots. The director had said this several times, but when she looked back at the monitor footage, she was very dissatisfied.
"This part is wrong." She pointed at the screen and said, "The sword is crooked. Let's reshoot it."
Assistant Director: "It's okay, we'll just adjust the position of the special effects and it won't be noticeable."
"That won't work." Ling Suisui said seriously, "I can adjust the special effects, but how do I adjust my movement line? If I change the attack landing point, then the posture of exerting force will be wrong!"
In Ling Sui's opinion, if there is no smooth and complete sword-swinging process, it cannot be called a successful fighting scene, and she cannot use such things to perfunctorily deal with the audience.
As for those splicing together of corpse-dismemberment shots—can that be called a fighting scene? Those who take photo albums have more standard movements than them.
Ling Sui has the final say in the game crew. If she says she wants to reshoot, the director will definitely cooperate.
Before going on stage, Ling Suisui even exercised his wrists. She filmed several close combat scenes today, so her arms must be sore by now. The fact that she still had the strength to lift the sword made the director admire her very much.
That's a solid sword weighing more than 5 kilograms, almost the weight of a watermelon. Not to mention that in this scene, there are several fixed close-up shots that require changing swords weighing more than 30 kilograms, which is really tiring.
After reshooting this part, Ling Suisui only rested for a few minutes and then continued to shoot the next scene.
When today's filming was finished, Kang Le met Ling Sui, who was covered in bruises and aching all over.
Kang Le quickly took her back to the hotel to rest and called a doctor from the crew for her.
The doctor asked her how she got all these bruises. Kang Le said that today Ling Sui acted out a scene where she fell, was knocked flying, and was pinned to the ground and beaten. She also had marks from being suspended by wires. She also fell from the air once because the movements were too difficult and the staff did not cooperate well.
Fortunately, she was not flying too high and there was a cushion on the ground, otherwise we would have to call the emergency services.
doctor:……
Kang Le spoke so nonchalantly, but Ling Sui was still browsing her phone. This was truly the most carefree artist and assistant she had ever seen.
How should I put it? Among the many 208s in the entertainment industry, only Ling Sui earns this much money, and she is not jealous at all.
After she showed it to Ling Suisui, he told her not to tell anyone about it.
The doctor said she understood, and her favorable impression of Ling Suisui increased a little more. It seemed that she did not intend to use this incident to market herself as a professional.
In fact, the doctor thought it was okay for Ling Suisui to blow it. Others had to blow it even though they didn’t have any, so why couldn’t she do it? It’s not easy for people who are too honest to survive in the entertainment industry.
But Ling Suisui was thinking: "The crew didn't do it on purpose today. Everyone makes mistakes, including me. But if this gets out, they might face some pressure from public opinion, which is something I don't want to see."
After listening to this, the doctor really admired Ling Suisui.
Apart from anything else, this charisma is truly irresistible.
