Chapter 88
It is forbidden to ask Ling Suisui for help during future program recordings
On New Year's Eve, Ling Sui finally met her parents. The busy family of three had a New Year's Eve dinner and watched the CCTV Spring Festival Gala together.
After watching several language programs, Ling Fei fell silent.
Ling Fei said, "Good boy, I'm sorry for my previous comments on your skit. Your show is just not funny enough, but it's far from boring."
Ling Suisui: ...
It seemed like her mother praised her, but it also seemed like she didn't.
The skit she performed on Fruit Channel’s Spring Festival Gala was also live-streamed and was titled “Ending the Relationship.”
This skit uses a common misunderstanding. It tells the story of a couple who have been in love for seven years. The girl noticed the boy's recent changes and mistakenly thought he wanted to break up with her, but in fact the boyfriend wanted to propose to her.
Bian Yuanzhou played the male lead, and Ling Suisui, who was invited by him to save the day, played the female lead.
Ling Sui had already raised the question in a tactful way when he read the script before. I feel like what they staged isn't a comedy, but more like a street office propaganda film urging people to get married.
But Bian Yuanzhou had no choice - he had to appear on the satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, and this was the topic they had designated.
The first version of the script he submitted actually contained a lot of plot points, but these were all required to be modified for various reasons.
Positive energy, values, intentions, guiding ideology...each one is more important than the plot itself.
If the skits in the evening show take "educating people" as their primary purpose, don't expect to produce any interesting content.
This version of the script did not include the plot of getting married quickly and having a third child. Those were all the results of Bian Yuanzhou's hard work.
Despite the script, End of Love received good critical feedback.
Thanks to the acting skills of Ling Suisui and Bian Yuanzhou, the language programs on all the satellite TV Spring Festival Galas are considered to be the tallest among the short ones.
Although this skit did not go viral, it made Ling Sui famous on TV and gave her fans a shot in the arm.
Although Ling Sui's debut work was not a comedy, why can't she be a good comedian? Those who had predicted the decline of Freedom House in advance have stopped their attacks these days.
After the Spring Festival holiday, Tong Xiaoman recruited new people for the studio.
Ling Suisui has already played the leading role in a drama, and has gradually received more work in various fields. Originally, all publicity-related work was shared by Zhang Wen and Kang Le. Now Tong Xiaoman has allocated a part of it to intern He Lei.
He Lei is a senior this year. If she does well, she can be hired as a full-time employee directly after graduation.
He Lei put 100% enthusiasm into this job. Graphic design is her major, taking photos, editing pictures and editing videos are her amateur strengths. As for operating Ling Suisui and the studio's accounts on various platforms, it is not difficult at all for a college student with a good sense of the Internet.
Although working in a celebrity team is inevitably a bit tiring, they pay a lot!
Moreover, the atmosphere in Ling Suisui's studio is really good. From the boss to the employees, all of them are women.
A company without men is like a fish without a bicycle. Only those who have experienced it can understand the joy of jumping around in a safe zone.
After school started, Ling Sui returned to school.
As expected, the members of dormitory 404 were still not all present. At ten o'clock in the evening, there were still only her and Wen Jiayan.
In the summer, she is filming a movie on set, still a niche movie. Ling Suisui estimates that she has no plans to enter the entertainment industry (in a narrow sense), she just simply likes performing and acting.
Anyway, with her family background, she will never be short of film and television resources. As for whether she is famous or not, Xia Tian probably doesn’t care, and she is not willing to rush to abide by the many "rules" in the circle.
As for Xiang Yanchu...Wen Jiayan said she had asked for leave.
"Is she going to work?" Ling Suisui asked casually.
Wen Jiayan opened and closed her mouth. She hesitated for a while, and when she saw that Ling Suisui did not ask any follow-up questions, she did not answer.
Ling Suisui started filming in November last year. She was extremely busy during the final exams and didn't have much contact with her roommates. As a result, she missed some gossip about dormitory 404.
For example, Wen Jiayan and Xia Tian both thought that Xiang Yanchu was in a relationship.
She would giggle at her phone, and sometimes she would sneak out to the balcony to make a call, and her voice sounded like she was acting like a spoiled child...
However, these are just their guesses. Idols’ love life is a very sensitive topic. Since she didn’t bring it up on her own initiative, Wen Jiayan and Xia Tian didn’t ask.
Since she was not sure, Wen Jiayan did not tell Ling Suisui.
Wen Jiayan talked about other topics: "I will take the Mandarin test next month, and I should be able to pass the second place."
"That's great." Ling Suisui continued, "Many theaters require a second-class score, but if you can get a first-class score, it should be considered a bonus."
"Well, I'll try my best."
After going through the termination process for half a year, Wen Jiayan's mentality has improved.
Zhuoran Entertainment was dragging her along and refusing to let her go, planning to wear her out. However, with the advice of Ling Suisui and Xia Tian, Wen Jiayan found another way.
She can take the postgraduate entrance examination - compared with litigation, the efficiency of terminating the contract by passing the postgraduate entrance examination is much higher.
As for the future path... one cannot be an actor only if one is in the entertainment industry. Wen Jiayan can also continue to take the career examination for a drama theater.
In this way, there is still room for choice, whether to continue to delve into drama or to film a movie.
After securing a spot in the talent show, Wen Jiayan has been working in the entertainment industry for nearly two years. Now she has finally faced up to her career plan and figured out what she wants to do in the future.
Although she still feels a little envious when she sees a "star" like Ling Suisui, that's all.
Ling Sui was making her bed when her cell phone on the table rang.
"Ayan, help me check who is calling. If there is no note, hang up."
Wen Jiayan glanced and said, “It’s Chi Jia.”
Chi Jia? Ling Sui was a little confused.
He often sent her messages, but this was the first time he called her.
Wen Jiayan handed the phone to her and Ling Suisui pressed the answer button.
Before she could say anything, the other party said anxiously: "Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui, are you there? It's urgent, it's urgent!"
Ling Suisui: "...you say."
She could vaguely hear that there was another person talking on Chi Jia's end, and he must be using the speakerphone.
Chi Jia: "I'm recording the accelerated progress, and I'm stuck on a question. I have a help card. Can I ask you for help now?"
"...Okay." Ling Suisui replied, "Just read the questions and I'll try my best to help you think."
Chi Jia: "Suppose someone tells the truth every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and tells lies the rest of the time. One day this person says that he will tell the truth tomorrow. Then what day is today?"
Ling Suisui paused and said, "First answer that today is Tuesday, because today is Tuesday."
Chi Jia was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant.
He went to answer the question. Ling Suisui heard from the program NPC on his mobile phone that his answer was wrong. The question asked what day of the week it was when the person in the question spoke.
Chi Jia became anxious again: "He is wrong! Sui Sui, this is not a brain teaser!"
When he was about to answer, Ling Suisui had already thought of it.
She told him, "That's Saturday. Assuming he told the truth today, he must also tell the truth the next day. From the question, we know that he can't tell the truth for two consecutive days, so what he said must be a lie, and he will also lie the next day. The only day he can lie for two consecutive days is the weekend."
This pile of truth and lies had confused Chi Jia, but it did not stop him from copying it word for word and successfully solving the puzzle on the treasure chest.
The phone could be heard cheering from Chi Jia and his teammates, as well as protests from other team members.
Isn't the help card meant for asking for help from passers-by at the recording location? How can you seek external help by making a phone call?
What's even more outrageous is that not only did Chi Jia seek external help, he also found Ling Suisui, the big devil that the Acceleration Team feared. What a heavy blow this was to their young minds. His question should be declared invalid!
Before Chi Jia had the chance to hang up the phone, he started arguing with the other party. Who said that help cards have to restrict people and places?
The rules clearly state "use this card to get one chance to ask for help", there's nothing saying you can't call your friends! There is a saying that goes, anything is allowed unless prohibited by law!
Ling Suisui: ...
She hung up the phone silently and let them argue.
The result of their argument should be feasible - because a few minutes later, Ling Suisui received another call from the regular.
"Are you there, Suisui? I think we are good friends. I also have a help card. Can you help me too?"
The other party was also using the speakerphone. Ling Suisui even heard someone say, "It's you who's on the line, right? Hang up quickly and let him call!"
Ling Suisui once again: ...
She felt that if this continued, she would have to ask her agent to discuss the appearance fee with the "Accelerated Forward" production team.
During these few years of regular recording of variety shows, Ling Sui received countless calls. Even if it's for variety show effects, you can't just focus on her!
When the show was broadcast, this segment unsurprisingly became a hot topic.
Ling Sui only appeared with her voice, but she left a deeper impression on the audience than others who appeared in ten variety shows.
[I can’t stop laughing. Even through the two screens, I can feel how speechless 0ss is]
[Speed Up Next program team adds new rules: Ling Sui-sui is not allowed to use the help card]
[I have always admired Suibao’s logical ability, tql]
"Accelerate" has once again invited Ling Sui to be a permanent member of the next season, or to be a guest for a few episodes.
Ling Suisui said that we should wait and see her schedule during the next recording.
However, the recording period of "Accelerate" and the promotion period of "Freedom House" do not overlap, so Ling Sui will not be on the show at least this year.
She participated in Yumi Video's acting variety show, "Passing on the Torch".
The name sounds very grand. The core competition system is that seniors sit on the judging panel, newcomers compete with each other for several rounds, and then the seniors select their favorite actors to form 1v1 partners, and cooperate to participate in the competition in the finals.
Before Ling Sui went on the show, she had a meal with Tang Bing, and she mentioned this matter in passing.
Tang Bing checked the list of tutors online and then smiled.
"It's these people... Then you have to work harder, but don't embarrass me."
Ling Suisui was a little curious: "Teacher, are there any seniors you know among them?"
"We are all in the same circle, so we must know each other."
Tang Bing said this first, and then stared at her with a meaningful look.
Ling Suisui: ...
She swallowed. “I have a bad feeling when you look at me like this.”
Tang Bing: "Then your premonition is going to come true."
"I don't have a good relationship with these people, and one of them is my mortal enemy."
