Chapter 138
Over-the-shoulder throw method
The system didn't say anything. Ling Sui finally found a way to quiet it down, and he was quite satisfied.
Someone was knocking on the door outside, and she answered and came in.
When looking at Ying Nian who pushed the door open, Ling Sui also opened the system's favorability list.
Well, it didn’t drop. It seems there is no chance to witness the system’s defense being broken.
Ling Suisui really didn’t care about this matter - anyway, she had already obtained Ying Nian’s full favorability reward, so it didn’t matter whether he lost it or not. She had asked the system a long time ago, and found out that even if the price dropped and then rose again, she could not get the reward again.
She felt it was a pity at the time that such a buggy way of earning points was blocked by the system in advance.
Although the favorability did not change, Ying Nian was still quite shocked. He just stood there in a daze, unable to believe what he saw.
"Sui Sui?" he called her tentatively.
"It's me. What's wrong with you? I shouldn't be unrecognizable. I just put on that kind of yellow earth makeup on my face."
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were no highways or national roads. The dust was flying everywhere during the wars. It would be unreasonable to have skin as delicate as white jade."
Ying Nian understood all these principles, but when he actually saw the makeup on her face, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
He thought for a long time before saying, "You are so dedicated."
"I don't deserve it. It's all thanks to my peers."
Ying Nian was silent for a moment, and quickly swallowed the words "There's no need to work so hard."
As a foil to her, he should just shut up.
He sat down next to her and was silent for only a few seconds before he couldn't help but say:
"I knew I was going to make a cameo appearance last month. During this time, I didn't go anywhere. I just stayed at home and practiced basic skills and picked up the martial arts I had learned before."
As a child who grew up in an artistic family, Yingnian actually practiced martial arts when he was young - although he only persisted for half a year, but he still had some basic skills.
What he said just now was very honest. When his agent learned that he had practiced hard for a month for a few minutes of cameo, he suspected that he had been possessed by another spirit.
One month! It was more than 30 days since I took on any other notices or external affairs and only trained for three hours a day! Even for the filming of "Ding Feng Bo", Ying Nian has never worked so hard!
Oh, so you were filming a movie with Ling Suisui, that’s fine.
Rather than being dedicated and hardworking, being in love is obviously more in line with his personality.
Ling Suisui looked at him with a smile, as if he was looking at a peacock spreading its tail.
"Really? That must be hard."
——Faced with such an active guest actor, she certainly has to give some encouragement. What if he performs exceptionally well this afternoon?
If she attracts one more audience member to buy a ticket, she will get one more box office achievement. As the lead actress, she certainly hopes that the movie will have as many exciting contents as possible.
Ling Suisui made Yingnian happy with just six simple words.
After more than thirty days of hard work, he received a word of thanks and an appreciative look from her. Ying Nian felt like he was floating in the clouds and his heart was like soaking in a honey pot.
Fortunately, Ying Nian still restrained himself and did not get too arrogant in front of Ling Suisui.
After all, she joined the group for training four months in advance. In terms of hard work, there are few actors in the domestic entertainment industry who can surpass her. He could pull down other people, but comparing himself with her was courting death.
Yingnian also looked at Ling Sui's arm muscles. Currently, they only had obvious lines, and he thought she would develop that kind of bulge and then her arm circumference would increase dramatically.
"It's not that easy." Ling Suisui explained to him, "You have to drink protein powder every day. The protein sources of ancient generals were not that rich. Besides, my costume is very tight, so you can't see my muscles."
However, her arm strength is still very strong. Ying Nian tried to arm wrestle with her, but was defeated miserably in three consecutive rounds.
Yingnian was shocked. Where was the natural physical strength difference between men and women?
Ling Suisui used practical actions to tell him that regardless of gender, the more professional training they receive, the smaller the structural gap will be.
And this is not "natural". Women have been eating plant protein for thousands of years. Going back a few decades, modern families would give priority to giving meat to their sons, so you can imagine the situation in ancient times.
Ling Sui is 168 cm tall, which is pretty decent among female stars in the domestic entertainment industry. Some netizens also commented that this height is most suitable for her. If she grows taller, it will be difficult for her to find male actors to work with.
After all, these days, if there is no height difference of more than ten centimeters, how can the sexual tension between the two be expressed? How to highlight the male protagonist’s charm?
Ling Suisui was dismissive of this. She said that she was already in college after she traveled through time and space, and there was almost no room for her to grow taller. Otherwise, she would definitely exercise actively and strive to grow to 1.75 cm tall.
As for whether the male actor is 185cm tall or not...that's their problem to worry about.
She asked Ying Nian: "Is it because there is such a big gap between you and Qin Xian that it makes you disillusioned?"
Ying Nian thought about it first, then shook his head.
"Actually not... I don't know what other people think, but the Qin Xian in my mind is exactly like you. I was just thinking that if Qin Xian also had the opportunity to practice martial arts, she would definitely be able to hold on until I rescue her."
Ling Suisui: "Open your mind a little. If Qin Xian could practice martial arts, she wouldn't need you to save her."
"Or - it's very likely that she sent troops to support you."
Yingnian smiled and didn't seem to take it seriously. It seemed that he didn't know much about Pingyang Zhao's deeds.
Historically, Li Sanniang led her troops to rescue Li Shentong who was besieged by the Sui Dynasty army. Her cousin was not very good at fighting, but his luck was much better than hers.
Li Shentong almost never won a battle, but because he supported Li Yuan early on, he was granted a title of king after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. In later generations, there are still some "online experts" who refuse to acknowledge Pingyang Zhao's achievements and want to attribute her credit to Li Shentong.
Don't you think about it? Li Shimin said that "my uncle is the closest relative of the country and I truly have no love for him. He must not be rewarded together with meritorious officials because of personal favor." Yet, there are actually people who regard him as a famous general.
Two hours before the official shooting, Ling Suisui and Yingnian came to the practice room.
They have all practiced fighting routines with their martial arts instructors before, but this is the first time they have rehearsed together. Although I have memorized all the movements, it still takes some time to get used to the new partner.
Ling Sui used a sword in his old age, and a spear in his old age. The idea of the whole fight scene is that he wants to keep the distance, while she wants to attack at close range, staging a showdown between the longer and stronger one and the shorter and more dangerous one.
Therefore, Yingnian's fighting style was to fight and retreat at the same time, but gradually he became exhausted. Ling Suisui fought more and more excitedly, and his offensive became increasingly fierce, and the last sword was against his neck.
As for the effect of the joint rehearsal... the two actors' movements were on point, but the atmosphere looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
Ling Suisui was indeed moving forward courageously, but Yingnian did not have the nervousness or restlessness of retreating step by step. When he raised his spear and wanted to attack the flaw that Ling Suisui deliberately exposed, his movements were even a little gentle.
The martial arts director was so angry that he cursed: "Ying Nian, what are you doing? You didn't fight like this in the previous video! Why, you lose your strength when you see the actress, can you do it?"
As a man, you can't stand being told no by others, especially in front of the person you like.
Ying Nian defended himself: "I have a lot of experience in coaching before, and I am afraid that I might accidentally hurt Teacher Ling——"
"You don't have to worry about that." The martial arts director rolled his eyes. "Teacher Ling's fighting skills are well-known. You should worry about yourself first."
"But--"
Seeing him like this, Ling Suisui walked aside silently and then hooked her finger at him.
Although Ying Nian didn't know what to do, since Ling Suisui called him, he walked over without hesitation.
He thought Ling Sui wanted to tell him something in private, but as soon as he went over, she grabbed his arm.
The next second, she turned around. Ying Nian first smelled the fragrance of her hair, but before he could react, his body flew up uncontrollably, spun 360 degrees, and fell onto the cushion.
The over-the-shoulder fall happened so fast that Ying Nian was still dizzy when he got up from the ground.
He only saw an enlarged face -
Ling Suisui leaned in close and asked him, "Do you still think I need your kindness and gentleness?"
Ying Nian shook his head in confusion, and Ling Suisui was very satisfied with this result.
She gently pulled him up and told him, "Get up and continue practicing. If you waste my time again next time, I won't find a cushion."
During the entire process, the system was on high alert, fearing that Ying Nian's favorability value would drop.
As a result, not only did his favorability value remain stable, but his heartbeat also increased significantly. When they returned to their previous position, Ying Nian said, "You were so handsome just now."
system:……
It's a pity that it can't read humans' inner thoughts. I guess this guy must be thinking "She also found a cushion for me. She's so considerate."
It sounds ridiculous, but if it is the right year, it makes sense.
Although there were some minor accidents during the rehearsal process, under Ling Suisui's personal teaching, Yingnian corrected his mistakes and performed very well in the formal filming.
One should look at others with new eyes after three days of absence, let alone Yingnian has been in seclusion for almost two years. Ling Sui's impression of his acting skills still remains in the version of "Ding Feng Bo", but after today's update, there has been a qualitative leap.
Especially after he failed in the challenge, the expression he had, which was first regretful and regretful, and then reluctant to accept the fact, was a subtle change that the previous Ying Nian would never have been able to act out.
"You've made great progress."
During the break in filming, Ling Sui clinked the cups of boiled water with his.
Plain boiled water is fine, but adding red dates and wolfberries makes it healthy and nourishing. The most important thing is that few actors dare to drink carbonated drinks while filming, unless they are willing to pay the price of running for an hour for the sake of carbonated drinks.
Otherwise, prepare to face the wrath of the director and producer.
Ying Nian toasted with her and talked about what he had done in the past two years.
In fact, he didn't completely shut himself off from the outside world. He just didn't make long dramas that attracted much public attention, and turned to short films.
Because the shooting period is short, he can try many different themes and play various types of roles.
"At the beginning, every time I made a film, many people praised me for my progress. I was very happy at that time, but Xia Tian later told me that they were just teasing me..."
Ling Sui realized that before, Ying Nian would write a short essay for her every time he filmed a new movie, but later on, for some reason, he stopped writing.
She thought he was too busy to have time, or felt that the emotional value she provided was not positive enough, but she didn't expect this to be the case.
Ying Nian scratched his head embarrassedly: "But you also praised me today, and I was very, very happy. This shouldn't be fake, right?"
In response, Ling Suisui said: "No, I never tell lies. In terms of acting, if you leave your opponent far behind, you are already at the next level."
Ying Nian was very happy to hear that. He said cheerfully, "Would you like to film another movie with me? I know you have another IP that you want to film, the one about period fiction, right? Do you want me to be the male lead?"
"My salary can be discounted - no, it's free. If it's your production, I won't charge you. If you need money, you can ask me for investment."
Ling Sui was silent after listening to this. Does this mean he has to act even if he has to pay for it? There’s no need!
But this is Yingnian, a stubborn man. Ling Sui would not find anything strange about him.
Since he said so, then she would... forget it. No, no, Ying Nian can talk nonsense, but if she really gets the role of the male lead for free, how will the industry view her? This won't work.
Moreover, as long as this news leaks out a little, the marketing accounts will dare to make up a lot of love stories between her and Ying Nian, allowing these brainwashing stories to circulate forever. She seemed to have saved some money, but in fact she lost a lot.
"… Let's talk about this later. Although I have the copyright, I haven't started the film and television adaptation project yet."
Ling Suisui said tactfully: "And I think that an actor who is responsible for his work should make a decision after understanding the script and the role."
Ying Nian was a little disappointed, he really wanted to film with Ling Suisui, but they had never worked together on a complete drama!
Guest appearance in "The Golden List", guest appearance in "The Game is Online", guest appearance in "Zhao Jiang"...
Alas, when will he be able to become her leading man?
