Chapter 354
It's not that they don't dare to fight, but they simply can't afford to lose
Jing Xinyi is a very utilitarian person, and Ling Suisui has known this for a long time.
Of course, in Ling Suisui's eyes, this trait is definitely not a derogatory term. It's not wrong for her to want to be famous and gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
Driven by a strong utilitarianism, Jing Xinyi is also very open-minded - after being rejected for an important role, she decisively stepped down and strived for the opportunity to make a cameo appearance. Not everyone has such determination.
This kind of thing of trying to please the cold butt, even if only the parties involved know about it, will bring considerable psychological pressure to the person, not to mention that Jing Xinyi is a star and she was such a big trending topic a while ago.
As long as she is a traffic star, it is impossible for her to be without black fans, and the black fans will definitely seize this point to mock her madly. Even so, Jing Xinyi still came.
Not only did she come, she also didn't consider herself an outsider. Although Ling Suisui's team rejected her request for support, Jing Xinyi still treated the crew to milk tea and snacks, greeted everyone she met warmly, and took the initiative to talk to Yu Qingmiao, expressing her apology for the behavior of some fans/black fans that was not her intention.
Because Jing Xinyi's attitude was very sincere, and Yu Qingmiao didn't care too much about the matter and at most had a little bit of resentment in her heart, the two took a photo together on the set and followed each other on Weibo, sending a signal of reconciliation and mediation to the outside world.
Yu Qingmiao is just carefree, but not stupid. She has thought about Jing Xinyi's position and asked her celebrity classmates at the Central Academy of Drama for confirmation. If Jing Xinyi's team really hinted and directed fans to spread rumors about her, it would be of no benefit to Jing Xinyi herself.
Things like "being replaced by a well-connected person" are at most a pity show to fans, and passers-by will forget about it after seeing it... Do people who earn several thousand yuan a month really need to worry about celebrities who earn millions a day? Male actors may have their dream girls feel sorry for them, but female stars don’t have this treatment.
Jing Xinyi's attempt to play the victim will not only fail to win the favor of passers-by, but will also offend the crew of "Easy As Pie". She is a traffic star, so she wouldn't take such a big risk just to prevent an amateur like her from exploding.
It was because Ling Suisui thought of this that he was able to remain calm towards Jing Xinyi. Although her team's methods of creating publicity and publicity for the role were a bit radical, and she herself made a lot of noise, as long as it was not a malicious attack on her peers, she would tolerate it.
But this kind of tolerance only applies to female stars - men don't have this treatment. Domestic entertainment is already a super easy mode for them, what else do they want?
Chen Yuening recalled the past while chatting: "You are becoming more and more generous. Do you still remember when Xiang Yanchu didn't perform well in our first exam as freshmen, and you were so angry that you scolded her?"
Ling Suisui snorted, "If I was also a resourceful person promoted by a big company at that time, no matter how Xiang Yanchu acted on stage or how low our group's score was, I would have comforted her gently. Do you think I can't do a favor by just saying a few words?"
Chen Yuening: …
He tactically shifted his gaze and lowered his head to peel an apple for Ling Suisui.
It is not unfair to say that Ling Suisui is a resourceful person... because when the crew of "The List of Talents" was selecting young actors, three of the four were pre-selected through various connections, and only Ling Suisui was chosen by Tang Bing because of his good performance.
Whether or not he entered the experimental class had no effect on Chen Yuening's status in the hearts of the teachers at the Film Academy, but for the amateur Ling Suisui, the difference was too great.
This happened more than ten years ago, and Ling Suisui was just saying a few words to him and was not really angry with him.
She thought for a moment and continued, "The tolerance for error was too low at that time. When I encountered a little setback, I felt that my life might be over and the sky might fall. Even if my rationality told me that it wouldn't happen, I would still be worried and afraid, and feel uneasy."
In the past, when Ling Sui thought of this incident, she would cover her face helplessly, thinking that this was a dark history of her not being able to control her emotions, but now when she thinks about it again, she has a new idea.
If she felt ashamed of this matter, it would mean that Ling Suisui, who had already achieved success and become a winner in life, was stabbing Ling Suisui in the back, who was trembling with fear and treading on thin ice during her newcomer stage and did not dare to miss any opportunity.
Ling Suisui added: "And Jing Xinyi's matter cannot be considered as my magnanimity. Qing Miao is the victim, and I just don't care. To put it bluntly, I just don't care about her riding on my popularity, because there are too many such things to care about."
Moreover, if she argued with the other party, she would only please others.
This is the helplessness of those in high positions of popularity, and she has long been accustomed to it.
"Isn't it the same for Chen Hui?" Ling Suisui said as she flipped through her script, "She has a very high tolerance for mistakes, so she can develop a mentality of not panicking in the face of adversity. This kind of elite quality requires real money to be bought."
"Losing a few million is not enough for her to buy a bag. But for an ordinary family with a monthly income of less than 10,000 yuan, they can't afford such a loss."
It was not until she experienced Qian Lan's life that Shen Hui realized that the average person's ability to resist risks was lower than she had imagined. She looked down upon all living beings with a condescending attitude, thinking that they lacked the courage to fight and the determination to make progress, and that was why they lived in mediocrity all their lives.
But she didn't understand before that it was not that they didn't dare to fight, but that they simply couldn't afford to lose.
"Easy As Pie" is a film that satirizes reality, but the title of the film is not entirely ironic, which is the most ironic part.
Ling Sui's schedule today is relatively light. She has no scenes in the morning and will start filming in the afternoon.
Jing Xinyi's scenes will be filmed in one day. She has memorized all her lines, which are only a few in total.
She got part of the script and was going to play the role of Qian Guangzong's girlfriend Xiaoli.
According to the role introduction she got, Xiaoli is a very vain girl. She is with Qian Guangzong only because he is willing to buy her "very high-end" gifts - the unit price fluctuates between a few hundred to two thousand, and there are no real luxury items.
She has two scenes in the movie, one is a campus date with Qian Guangzong, and the other is Qian Guangzong taking her home for dinner.
Jing Xinyi felt that if the movie was tight in length, the campus scene might not be able to be cut into the main film. Only the dinner scene at the Qian family was more important because Ling Suisui was there.
Because the confidentiality of "As Easy as Pie" was done very well, Jing Xinyi only knew that Ling Suisui played two roles and did not know that it was a plot of exchanging lives. She repeatedly studied the sections where Qian Lan appeared, but could not find an opportunity to add a scene where she could have a direct conversation with her.
Yes, although they ate at the same table, the sad thing was that she and Ling Suisui had no direct communication at all...
It would definitely not work to force it. Neither Tang Bing nor Ling Sui would agree. Not only would she fail to win their favor, but she would also be disliked.
Jing Xinyi felt deeply regretful. The agent who came with her was still muttering beside her: "After the actors are in place, you will sit next to Ling Suisui and talk to her. Remember to introduce yourself and talk about your dream. You decided to become an actor after watching her works..."
"And you were filming behind the scenes? Don't do that. This is someone else's territory."
Jing Xinyi interrupted her manager bluntly: "Ling Sui has been in the industry for many years and has seen so many people. I have long told you that you can't treat her like a fool. She didn't care before because she was too lazy to bother with us, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what's going on and is willing to be pushed around like this."
Although it is true, it is indeed too harsh to hear.
The agent resisted the urge to roll his eyes and asked her, "So what do you say we should do?"
Jing Xinyi: "Don't worry about it, just wait and see how I perform."
This perfunctory statement obviously did not satisfy the agent, but after weighing the pros and cons, he listened to Jing Xinyi and gave up the original plan.
No matter what, this is indeed Ling Suisui's territory. Not to mention her own status, director Tang Bing is still her close teacher, and the producer is also on her side. If she is really annoyed, it is not impossible to directly replace someone else for the role of Xiaoli.
Jing Xinyi's brain is working fast. In terms of acting skills, she can be said to be the tallest among a group of short people in the domestic entertainment industry. However, she is nothing in the cast of "Easy As Pie", not to mention that Xiaoli herself has no outstanding features.
So, what should she do to leave a positive and active impression on Ling Suisui?
