Chapter 352
"Ling Sui's iron fans" is also a new track
On the day of the opening ceremony of "Easy As Pie", Ling Suisui changed into another set of clothes in the RV.
She had already changed into her costume and was ready to attend the opening ceremony and then continue filming. Unexpectedly, because there were too many people watching outside, Tang Bing asked the leading actors to change back into their regular clothes first. Today's notice was also changed, and the shooting content changed from outdoor scenes to indoor scenes.
Okay, Ling Suisui is very familiar with the script, and we can shoot any part.
The makeup artist removed Shen Hui's makeup and applied some foundation to Ling Suisui. She hasn't even started to perform yet, but people outside are urging her to do more.
"That's all." Ling Suisui looked at himself in the mirror, "I'll go out first."
The makeup artist didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect that even though Ling Sui was already such a celebrity, there would still be people urging her out. She also didn't expect that she could be urged out so easily.
One doesn't give face, and the other doesn't put on airs. They are worthy of being a teacher-student group.
Ling Sui felt the enthusiasm of fans as soon as she stepped out of the RV. It is no exaggeration to say that there were more cameras pointed at her on this road than when she walked the red carpet at the European Film Festival.
Fortunately, fans knew to leave a path for her, allowing her to jog all the way to the airport departure venue.
When we arrived at the scene, the number of onlookers outside was even more terrifying.
After all, this is a modern drama and it is impossible to shoot in the deep mountains and forests. Not to mention the notice being leaked, with the speed of Internet communication today, if a passerby who spotted the incident on that day took a photo and posted it online, it would attract countless people to join in the fun.
This is the downside of having an actor who is too famous - all I can say is that more than 90 percent of the plot in the script of Easy Peasy is interior scenes, which now seems very prescient.
When the auspicious time came, Ling Suisui followed behind Tang Bing, holding incense sticks in his hand and bowed several times to the incense burner.
This is her thirteenth year in acting. The process of the domestic entertainment opening ceremony seems to have never changed and is still so superstitious.
It was not the first time that the leading actors who had participated in the script reading met each other. Ling Suisui first received the red envelopes from the director and producer, and also helped Tang Bing look around to see if there were any actors who were missed.
There were many people at the opening ceremony, especially since everyone was wearing casual clothes, it was possible that you couldn't see it in the crowd.
The crew had not originally planned to officially announce the cast so early, and it is not too late to do so before the film is released. However, there were too many photographers and fans present today, and under the dense cameras, the actors standing next to Ling Suisui had already been thoroughly exposed on the Internet.
Except for Chen Yuening who had been confirmed long ago, the unfamiliar faces of the other leading actors made netizens very curious.
The older actors are naturally the ones with more experience in the industry, but the resumes of the younger actors are very thin - they have not starred in any works that have gained any popularity on the Internet, and they are all from niche art films, micro-short films, and documentaries.
There is an actor named Yu Qingmiao, who is even a complete newcomer.
It’s not that she’s new to acting, but she’s still a senior this year. She studied at the Central Academy of Drama, which has the strictest student management, and had never taken any acting jobs outside the school before.
This list of names completely surprised netizens. As for the actors who were frequently searched on hot searches with topics related to "It's a piece of cake to expose xx's performance" before the filming started... none of them appeared at the filming site.
If you search for "易如纸掌" on Weibo at this time, in addition to seeing Ling Suisui all over the screen, you can also see a few mocking comments about certain celebrities.
Licking the cake is not a new thing in the entertainment industry, but to make such a big fuss about licking a supporting role and then not getting the cake in the end is really embarrassing.
Although these rival fans dare not bring the movie name into the hot search topics, some Weibo posts are still seen by fans, but the above comments were still screenshotted and compiled by some people, and were posted to the entertainment group and marketing accounts.
The actress who was mocked the most was Jing Xinyi, because she had appeared in the most trending searches related to "Easy as a Palm", and she was also one of the stars who was the most aggressive in marketing "Ling Sui's fans in the circle".
Yes, probably since "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" won the award in Cannes, a very unique "Ling Sui fans" track has gradually emerged in the domestic entertainment industry, and this track is quite crowded.
It is not easy to gain Ling Suisui's fan status. It is not counted just because you say so - if you cannot list all of Ling Suisui's works in variety shows and express your admiration for Ling Suisui many times in interviews, then you will not be able to get this popularity.
In this regard, Jing Xinyi is definitely the best.
She has expressed her love for Ling Suisui in public more than once, and was photographed by fans at the airport wearing Ling Suisui's endorsement clothing (and changing from Prada to Chanel to keep up with the times), using Ling Suisui character-related phone cases, and she is even a diamond fan of Ling Suisui, level 14 on the super topic, and goes online every day to sign in to the super topic.
At an event last year, Jing Xinyi also had a very popular animated picture. Ling Sui passed by in front of her, and she followed him with her eyes full of admiration and love.
Although many people questioned whether this angle was a staged shot, it did not prevent Jing Xinyi from welding the titles of Ling Sui's fan girl and dream girl on her head, and she gained a place in the circle of popular young actresses by relying on the attention brought by this label.
It sounds a bit outrageous, but the heat that can be drawn from Ling Suisui is so terrifying. Since Li Mingxu, Xu Shiling and other sons-in-law can do it, why can't she? You need to open your mind and don’t be too rigid about gender!
However, compared to them, Jing Xinyi still lacks the important condition of "having worked with Ling Suisui".
That's why her team is so active in marketing and promotion. Other actors want to attract some attention, regardless of whether they are popular or not, but Jing Xinyi really wants to join in.
Although "Easy As Pie" is an original script, people in the industry can still find out some of the story content.
Jing Xinyi's team was attracted by the role of "Qian Cheng", the younger sister of the heroine Qian Lan. Because of this relationship, Jing Xinyi's team has been promoting the "chosen sisters" and "international superstar sister x in-circle fan sister" a lot recently. They hired more than a dozen commercial editors and issued hundreds of press releases to create a lot of hype.
This method is very common in the circle. When an actor wants to compete for a certain role, he will create topics and show the popularity data to the crew and production company. Whether it is praise or criticism, it is proof that netizens are paying close attention to this matter.
Many crews do take this kind of data into consideration. If something can be praised, it’s good, but if it’s criticized, it’s definitely not a reverse bonus - compared to being complained about, what film and television projects fear more is that no one cares.
However, Tang Bing is definitely not someone who will be influenced by topic data... Even though Jing Xinyi's company was particularly sincere and took the initiative to reduce her salary (which was equivalent to no money when rounded off), and offered other benefits in exchange, they were just short of begging our artist to act and even give you money, but Tang Bing still didn't give in.
Thanks to the other company's financial strength, she did meet with Jing Xinyi. According to Tang Bing, Jing Xinyi's admiration for Ling Suisui was probably real, but she obviously spent too much time and energy on "proving that she is a die-hard fan of Ling Suisui" and did not study her job well enough.
Qian Cheng is a relatively important character in the movie. Tang Bing had high expectations for "Easy As Pie", so she finally declined Jing Xinyi and chose Yu Qingmiao, an amateur in the eyes of netizens.
In fact, objectively speaking, Jing Xinyi's acting skills are not that bad. She is still one of the best among the new generation of popular actresses. After all, if her acting skills are poor, she cannot market herself as someone who likes Ling Suisui, and passers-by will not buy it. But unfortunately, her opponent this time is Yu Qingmiao, who is known as a "genius" in the Central Academy of Drama.
And genius is just the threshold to cooperate with Ling Suisui.
——The last sentence was added by Chen Yuening himself when he was sharing gossip with Ling Suisui.
Ling Suisui and he had lunch in the same RV. While Chen Yuening was browsing Weibo, he introduced her to the ins and outs behind the hot topics.
Ling Sui, who was eating and listening, stepped on him as a response to the above flattery.
She searched the name "Jing Xinyi" in her mind and felt like she had heard of it before. She knew that she was an actress, but nothing else.
Chen Yuening showed her the popular animated picture, and Ling Sui could only recall which event it was based on the costumes. As for any interaction with Jing Xinyi, she really had no recollection of it at all.
Ling Suisui's heart was filled with alarm bells: "I don't surf the Internet very often, am I falling behind the times so quickly?"
She may not follow the trend, but she must know what is popular now. The higher the status of an actor, the more he fears that he cannot see clearly the lives of the masses.
"No, the circle is getting smaller and smaller now, and the information cocoon is getting more and more serious. Big data will only push content that interests you."
Chen Yuening explained to her and mentioned several names of popular actors and actresses. Ling Sui probably had some impression of two-thirds of the names, but only a few of them could conjure up faces, and none of them could be associated with works or roles.
Ling Suisui was about to say that she had seen many clips of popular dramas on Douban, but when she pulled up the resume, she found that the title of the drama was unfamiliar, but the "highlight clips" looked familiar, but she had forgotten it after watching it...
"This, this, and this." Chen Yuening pointed to several of them in succession. "They have all been marketed as your die-hard fans, but not to the extent of Jing Xinyi who would post magazine advertisements and endorse products."
Ling Sui was tired of listening to it. She really wanted to say don't do all these fancy things. If you like her, just learn from her. She hoped to be in the same frame with "fans in the circle" at the Golden Eagle Flying Apsaras and Magnolia Awards, not just on the hot searches on various platforms.
"And this——" Chen Yuening paused, "This person is a little special."
"It may be that the track for Ling Suisui's die-hard fans is too crowded. In pursuit of being unique, he has hinted at you several times. Although he was scolded badly, your haters support him very much."
Ling Suisui: ...
If the positive way doesn't work, then try the opposite, right? If you have this kind of energy, spend more time on acting!
The world outside is so chaotic that Ling Sui is no longer able to complain.
If we discuss the influence of a certain star in the domestic entertainment industry, it is difficult for anyone to surpass her, but Ling Suisui does not have any sense of satisfaction or superiority. Because she knew that these fanatical emotions could create gods, but could also be at the forefront of destroying gods.
Now she seems to be the blood bag of the entire domestic entertainment industry, but if her status is no longer there one day, these glories that are fought over will instantly become "black history" that everyone is trying to cover up.
Ling Sui put these things aside for the time being. After finishing her meal, she asked her assistant where Yu Qingmiao was.
Jing Xinyi had caused too much fuss before, and now the hot searches are not only mocking her, but also giving attention and pressure to Yu Qingmiao.
There are even fans of Jing Xinyi who insist that the role of Qian Cheng was rumored to be Jing Xinyi from the beginning to the end, so how come it suddenly became Yu Qingmiao? Although she is said to be an amateur, it is actually the debut drama of the princess. Even Ling Suisui is the one who carries her sedan chair.
Chen Yuening: "Do you want to comfort her?"
"Yeah." Ling Suisui said, "After all, I've also experienced this kind of thing where someone spread rumors and robbed me of my role."
Because she has experienced it, she knows how aggrieved the person involved would be.
She cannot change the entire domestic entertainment industry, but at least she can do her best to make life a little better for those around her.
