Chapter 121
The system achieves great results
During the filming of "Game is Online", many people came to visit the set.
In addition to the good friends of the main creative team, there were also several younger investors in the film industry, and they were not the same group who had come to watch Ling Sui's graduation drama before.
They did not come with a big fanfare, but just greeted the director, producer and Ai Tianming, and then sat behind the monitor to watch. After Ling Suisui finished filming, they chatted with her for a few words.
Ai Tianming used vague words like "business partners" to describe other cast and crew members of the crew, so that Er Hongwen never thought that the "film industry connections" he really wanted to meet were right next to him.
Not only did he not recognize them, he also thought that these people were similar to Ai Tianming, fools with money but nowhere to spend it, the kind who would spend money crazily after being fooled a few times.
...Well, in Er Hongwen's mind, this is the image of Ai Tianming, the main investor of this drama.
Ai Tianming also knew about Ling Suisui's film project. He wanted to invest in it. Others were willing to take him along for the sake of his family, but unfortunately he had no money.
He whispered to Ling Suisui: "They all came to ask me why I chose you as the leading actress. I told you a lot of your strengths! For example, your acting skills are superb, you are serious about filming, and you are hardworking and dedicated."
Faced with Ai Tianming's request for credit, Ling Suisui just smiled.
She thanked him for his kind words and did not tell him that that was not what those people wanted to know. They just wanted to find out if she had any hidden identity or background.
Ling Sui saw through it but didn't say anything, nor did he show any enthusiasm, he just responded indifferently.
——Let them imagine whatever they want, she never boasted anyway.
However, just by looking at the different focuses of the older and younger generations, you can tell that the direction of the film and television industry has changed over the years.
The entire industry has shifted from being pioneering and enterprising to being conservative and stable, and it will become increasingly difficult for newcomers to stand out in the future.
In addition to preparing for the investment, Ling Suisui also actively called on many of her good friends to come for the "on-site inspection".
For example, today, two groups of four friends came to visit the set. She also assigned scripts to these friends, and they couldn’t leave unless they helped her shoot a few scenes.
The first group to come were her and Zhu Yue’s mutual friends, Bian Yuanzhou and Han Cheng from the crew of "Freedom House".
Ling Suisui had friendships with them, and they also owed her a favor - she had saved Bian Yuanzhou and spoken for Han Cheng during the controversy over the replacement. In addition, since everyone is so familiar with each other, Ling Suisui has no psychological pressure to keep these two people to play more important villains.
The second group of people were Ling Sui’s personal friends, who came to see her in the summer, and also came with Yingnian who was on vacation.
The "holiday" here refers to the half-month vacation approved by Pei Xuehai for him to come out and walk around. After all, as an actor, one must really listen, watch and feel. There is no future in working in isolation.
Ying Nian followed Xia Tian to the game crew. Counting the time, he hadn't seen Ling Sui for almost a year.
Unfortunately, Ling Suisui was too busy on the set. She had little time for socializing, and the first words she spoke to Ying Nian were about the lines.
Now that he's here, how could Ling Suisui let him go? She even arranged what role he would play a few days in advance.
Xia Tian complained: "How can you be like this? Looking at your attitude, I'm worried that if this crew passes by a dog, they will have to pluck a few handfuls of its hair before they can leave."
Ying Nian protested from the side: "Hey, why are you looking at me when you say that?"
Ling Suisui: ...
After not seeing you for a few days, Xia Tian’s honey-covered mouth is still the same as always.
"You and I are not strangers, so what's the relationship?" Ling Suisui said, "Besides, you are also one of the investors of this drama. If the project makes money, it means you make money."
She was right about that. When the game was in the early stages of raising funds for launch, Xia Tian and Ji Zhaoying invested money together.
Ying Nian also wanted to participate at that time, but unfortunately all his liquid funds were used to invest in other fields, so he missed the opportunity. Thinking about it now, he still feels very regretful.
Ying Nian said: "Sui Sui, if you need follow-up investment later, please contact me. You are welcome."
Ling Sui agreed with a smile. Of course she would not be polite with him. It was not like the other party was giving her money for free. She would have to share the profits in the future.
Ying Nian and others didn't know Bian Yuanzhou before, but they were all in the entertainment industry, so Ling Suisui introduced the two groups to each other, and did not forget to bring the leading actors of the upstream drama group. For a moment, a dozen people gathered together and it was very lively.
Ying Nian also chatted with the others. It was quite pleasant at first, but he found that the role he was assigned was a cannon fodder with only three lines, who was killed instantly by the monster shortly after his appearance. Bian Yuanzhou was playing the villain who was hidden among the player group and only showed his antisocial personality at the last moment?
He was quite dissatisfied with this and even found Ling Suisui.
Ling Suisui thought, of course it’s because that role is very important! Before filming began, she specifically asked about Bian Yuanzhou's schedule and invited him to make a "special appearance".
As for Ying Nian’s acting skills… Although Ling Suisui knows that he is making progress, before seeing the concrete results, it is better to let other crews take on the testing work.
She smiled and replied, "You guys are just here to have fun. I'm embarrassed to trouble you with such a heavy role. He's going to be filming here for a week."
Xia Tian and others came to visit the set and perform a show. Bian Yuanzhou and Han Cheng were paid, but they were just given a friendship price.
Okay, Yingnian accepted this reason.
Ling Sui came to visit the set today, and he was quite happy. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, there was no strangeness in their tone when they were chatting.
——However, this is only because he doesn’t know that Ling Suisui treats every friend like this.
Ying Nian and others finished their scenes quickly. Xia Tian suggested leaving first and then go play with Ling Sui in the evening. After all, it would not be good to stay here for a long time and disturb the crew's filming.
Ying Nian didn't want to leave, he even found an excuse, saying that since he was already here, he wanted to appreciate the performance of his colleagues more, and that there must be a teacher among three people.
Xia Tian rolled his eyes, and Ying Nian pretended not to see it.
Xia Tian had nothing to say to him. After thinking for a while, she felt that it was inappropriate for Ying Nian to stay alone, so she moved a small stool and sat down to accompany him.
She was either reading a book or watching the filming scene. In short, she completely ignored Er Hongwen who was hesitant to speak next to her.
Since she was a child, she has met too many people who wanted to get close to her, and her brain has long learned to automatically block them.
Er Hongwen: ...
What else can he do? Xia Tian didn't want to socialize, so he could only try every means to talk to Ling Suisui, hoping that the other party could help him make connections and introduce him to someone.
However, his behavior was particularly abrupt and glaring to Yingnian, whose eyes were always following Ling Suisui.
He said to Xia Tian: "This guy is so annoying. Why does he always pester Sui Sui? Sui Sui is not interested in him."
Xia Tian sneered: "You are really the pot calling the kettle black."
Year: ...
He really wanted to slap himself. Why did he take the initiative to talk to Xia Tian again?
When these friends came over, Ling Sui's system (silent version) prompted a click-click, and the unlocked achievements were almost filling the screen.
She took the time to glance at the "Ashura Field" and continued to read the script calmly, without any awareness that she was at the center of a vortex.
Unless these people are collectively dumbed down and start fighting on the set, it is impossible for them to affect her in the slightest.
Coincidentally, Ai Tianming is not here today. Ling Suisui didn't mind whether the scene was lively or not. She only cared whether if there was one more person, it would be an extra achievement and give her one more chance to win the lottery.
Alas, what a pity.
Bian Yuanzhou was also reading the script, but after feeling the constant gazes from both sides, he couldn't help but tease:
"It seems that every male actor who has worked with you will be conquered by your charm."
Ling Suisui raised an eyebrow: "Every one?"
——This includes himself. Bian Yuanzhou realized that this was inappropriate and his cheeks became a little hot.
He changed the subject: "Er Hongwen's attitude is quite positive."
"He doesn't like me." Ling Suisui smiled and shook his head, "Or rather, he doesn't like me."
Even though Er Hongwen's favorability towards her is rising wildly, it's just that everyone in the world is here for profit.
Even if his favorability reaches the maximum value one day, it must be because he has gained enough benefits from her. Who wouldn’t like such a good thing?
Ling Suisui had no objection to this kind of "like", she just felt a little emotional.
What a pity. Even if she told Er Hongwen now that Ying Nian over there was actually Xia Tian’s cousin and Pei Xuehai’s grandson, he would probably find it difficult to please the other party, let alone help him make the introduction.
What is this? This is probably a typical case of being too clever.
She and Bian Yuanzhou did not discuss this issue, and the focus of the discussion quickly returned to the script.
Bian Yuanzhou smiled bitterly: "You really think highly of me...On my first day here, you asked me to shoot a scene where my character is killed. This scene is really difficult."
"There's nothing we can do. Our crew has limited funds and we can't afford to shoot according to the timeline. We can only follow the scenes."
Ling Suisui explained and encouraged: "With your acting skills, there will be no problem. Among the male actors I know, you are the best actor, even if you are not a respected senior."
Bian Yuanzhou said "You're so kind", but judging from the way his mouth corners couldn't help but raise, he was in a very good mood at the moment.
He had heard many colleagues bragging about each other, but when it came out of Ling Suisui's mouth, it seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, making people feel that it was particularly weighty.
Ling Sui smiled. Although this part was a little exaggerated, it was not entirely false. The key is the way of expression, which can easily arouse his enthusiasm.
After making sure he had memorized his lines, Bian Yuanzhou stood in front of the camera with Ling Suisui.
Everyone knew that this scene was very important, so the cast and crew returned to their respective positions and everyone on the scene kept their mouths shut, not daring to make any noise that would affect the filming. Even Xia Tian and others who were watching adjusted their sitting positions unconsciously.
The director shouted "start", and Bian Yuanzhou's calm eyes suddenly turned fierce.
He was in a state of losing the struggle at the moment, with his neck and limbs tied up by prop ropes. Ling Sui raised the sword in his hand and pressed it against his neck.
Neither of them had any lines, only eye contact. There was extreme hatred in Bian Yuanzhou's eyes, and it looked like he wanted to eat her alive and tear her into pieces, while the disgust in Ling Suisui's eyes was also very strong, and she wished that he would disappear from the world in the next second.
This is the confrontation between powerful actors. Just a glance can easily stir up the emotions of the onlookers. In such a tense atmosphere, Ying Nian's heart beat faster and he didn't even dare to blink for a moment.
He was a little envious of the actor who could act out this scene with Ling Suisui, but he couldn't help but wonder, if it were him, could he perform to such an effect?
Before Yingnian could think too much, Ling Suisui had already started speaking his lines.
After the confrontation, the real battle is just about to begin.
