Chapter 246
“This is the beginning of a new phase”
Faced with Ling Suisui's series of questions, Mo Ziqing only answered part of them.
She said that there would be a mixed-gender talent show, but there are no specific film and television projects at present. However, if the program is popular enough, they will definitely be able to invite big-name directors and screenwriter teams to customize it for them.
This is the story of the contestants, and Ling Suisui only needs to be a mentor and "initiator". Of course, it would be great if she was willing to make a guest appearance in a film or TV series.
Mo Ziqing took out her laptop and showed the PPT page in front of Ling Suisui. Judging from her skillful movements and confident eyes, she has probably used this process to succeed for many people.
It must be said that her PPT was very beautiful, the story was very appealing, and the actors she used as examples were very representative.
If you want to create a sensational story, there are those who have been playing minor roles for many years and have never been seen, and those who are poor but still persist; if you want to create a big devil, there are also those who have "a gap in acting skills" or are born with the talent of acting...
By the way, there are also several actors who were rejected by many companies and were replaced many times in the crew, but their acting skills were rated very highly. It is estimated that they will take the counterattack and face-slapping route of "no one is optimistic about you, but you are the most competitive", and even the fan-torture plan is ready.
After reading it, Ling Suisui pondered for a moment and said that her plan was missing something.
Mo Ziqing: "What?"
Ling Suisui counted on his fingers for her: "There are still a few artists who have debuted but want to start over. We also need to arrange a few second-generation stars, otherwise how can we create a popularity gap and trigger discussions about fairness. Oh, right? Why don't we have those young masters and young ladies who want to go home and inherit the family business if they don't debut, and those who have a straightforward personality and a violent temper and confront people in person?"
"Without the relaxed feeling of their live performances, in contrast to the hard-working contestants, who do you expect to quarrel and cause trouble on the show and then cut off the head and tail of the confrontation later on?"
The changes in the expressions on Mo Ziqing's face were very interesting. She tried to explain: "You misunderstood. I don't want to do that kind of script... I really want to do this show."
Perhaps it was because Ling Sui's eyes were too straightforward, her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, and she became less confident.
How to get through this? Ling Sui is not a naive person who just debuted and knows nothing about the entertainment industry. The person she introduced the PPT to before just saw through it but didn't say anything.
Mo Ziqing stirred the coffee in the cup awkwardly. Seeing that Zhuo Siyu was about to ask her to leave, she quickly said, "Teacher Ling, I guarantee that these are all excellent actors. They just need a chance to become famous!"
"I admit that I have to improve this project from a commercial perspective because I have to be responsible to investors and sponsors. Quality and popularity are not mutually exclusive. You have filmed so many hit dramas, so you must be very clear about this."
"Perhaps in your opinion, this method is not so... decent. But in the Internet age, whoever can attract the attention of users is the winner. An unknown actor can only be buried by the times."
Sure enough, he has some skills, Ling Sui thought to himself. With this set of words, it seemed that she was "just eating meat".
"Since you want to talk about this," she replied slowly, "then what can I get from this project? The gratitude of you and these actors?"
Mo Ziqing was a little choked. Even though everyone knew that everyone was motivated by profit, Ling Suisui's straightforward question was beyond her expectations...
The other party was already talking about interests, how could she talk to her about feelings and principles!
Appearance fee? Ling Suisui is not short of money, and the other party must be very clear that no matter how high the remuneration is, it is just the wool paid by the sheep. It goes without saying who the advertisers are investing money for.
But since she had the courage to come directly to the door, she would not be stumped so easily.
Mo Ziqing adjusted his breathing and said to her, "After Only the Moon became a big hit at the box office, too many companies wanted to cooperate with Teacher Ling. Your time is limited. If it is just a movie, it may be difficult to establish friendships with multiple companies at the same time, but if the format becomes a variety show, the efficiency will be much higher."
Oh, she meant that she could expand her network of contacts in Hong Kong.
It sounds okay, but - "Do these companies you mentioned know about this now?"
After Ling Suisui asked this question, Mo Ziqing's expression seemed to freeze again.
It seems like this is another player who wants to use the information gap to achieve his goals.
"It doesn't matter." Mo Ziqing quickly regained her composure. "I think as long as the result satisfies you, that's fine."
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "If I'm not satisfied, why should I let you make the difference as a middleman?"
"Your sentiments are mixed with interests, but the interests are not enough to move people, and you have not considered the possible adverse effects. I think today's conversation ends here."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Zhuo Siyu thought about it and did not mention the gift from Mo Ziqing.
Alas, what a pity, Ling Suisui really likes this kind of building blocks.
**
After Ling Suisui showed obvious dissatisfaction, her vacation trip in Hong Kong finally became much more peaceful.
He never attended any business meetings and would leave the club activities for next time. Even for brand dinners, Ling Sui declined the invitation.
For business activities outside of the contract, Ling Sui makes decisions based on his mood. Fans of other stars might see it as an honor, but she has little interest in rushing to be a salesperson.
Moreover, when there is a dinner party, there will be socializing, and when there is socializing, she cannot avoid being asked about her future schedule. Even if these film companies cannot negotiate her schedule, they have to be careful not to let their peers discuss it.
Ling Suisui has been playing in Hong Kong for more than ten days and plans to fly back to the capital after attending the Academy Awards event tomorrow.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, she lay on the bed looking through the photos she had taken today. She still felt a little sore in her throat, so she drank another bottle of mineral water.
This happens when you have too much fun at a concert - Chi Jianeng can sing for hours, but after she sang along for the first half, her voice couldn't hold up anymore.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as you are happy. Only those who have been to a concert and sat in the front row know how exciting it is to be there in person.
Some of Chi Jia's fans recognized her in the audience, but they were not too surprised. They just asked her if they could take a photo with her. After all, every time her new work was broadcast, Chi Jia would go online to repost it on Weibo, so she didn't have to send a private message to say it.
In the entertainment industry, this is considered a very good relationship. Since both parties have been very open over the years, and Ling Sui is so popular that everyone thinks she doesn't need to be hyped up as a couple, Chi Jia's fans will not have any hostility towards her.
This would have been a good thing, but the system seemed very disappointed with it. It probably thought it could start some kind of "scold her and she has to have her brother to coax her" plot, and it thought it would be so romantic and sweet.
Ling Sui's only response was a sneer. It would be a waste of time to say one more word to Xing Yuannao.
Although her friendship with Chi Jia is real, fans of male artists will be kind to female artists who have a good relationship with Ji Dan. Eighty percent of the reasons are that the female artists are much more popular than Ji Dan, and their popularity is not limited to the fan circle, but there is a huge gap at the public level.
If it were a less well-known female artist engaging in this kind of "entertainment circle friendship", eight hundred implied comments from fans a day would be considered a small number.
Ling Suisui deleted the mediocre photos and gave the rest to Zhuo Siyu to transfer to the computer. She plans to post all the content of her trip to Hong Kong in one go after returning to the mainland.
Yu Meng, who was editing a video in the suite, asked: "Sister Sui, do you want to show the Rosewood Hotel sign?"
"No, just blur it out." Ling Suisui replied, "They didn't pay me for advertising, and Dilande even sent me a lot of peripherals."
This time when she went to Grandview Disneyland, the park's senior management came out to receive her, and she used the VIP fast track to play all the attractions, which gave her a very good experience.
If the box office of Beauty and the Beast can meet expectations, then she should be treated like this every time she visits Dylan parks around the world.
Yu Meng nodded. Tian Lan, who was standing next to her, thought about asking Guili for money out of professional habit, but soon gave up.
Record your own vlog, shoot it however you want. If you go for business cooperation, the materials need to be reviewed by multiple parties and must cater to the client's aesthetic taste... Just let Ling Suisui enjoy his vacation and not worry about work.
However, although Ling Sui has not had a job since coming to Hong Kong, the team has not been idle. Zhang Wen has been receiving "overtime pay" these days, and it is really tiring to communicate with companies in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
"That Miss Mo has come to me several times." Zhang Wen yawned and said, "She still hasn't given up her variety show idea. Sometimes she talked about how difficult it is for young actors, and sometimes she talked about how she wanted to make a variety show exclusively for actresses to show the power of women to the audience..."
There's no point in playing the victim, and the subsequent topics didn't arouse much interest in Ling Sui.
Apart from anything else, Ling Sui still remembers the outstanding actors she had shown in her previous PPT. Only two out of ten were girls. The ratio was so disparate that it was hard to believe that the other party had the sincerity to make an "all-female variety show".
"Does she think Xiao Zhang was pestering me?" Ling Suisui didn't quite understand. "Sui Sui With You is a variety show that is completely led by me. The program's positioning is completely different from the hit show she wants. Why is she so obsessed with the talent show?"
Ling Sui got the answer to this question at the Academy Awards.
Xu Shiling, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, sat next to her. He was nominated for Best Actor. However, compared to Ling Sui's sure win, he has no advantage in the nomination list.
Being well-informed, he covered his mouth and shared some gossip with Ling Suisui.
Simply put, Mo Ziqing comes from the wealthy Mo family in Hong Kong, but his identity is not so glorious. She had no idea about her own background when she went to the mainland to work. It was not until Boss Mo's health had been poor in recent years that her mother thought she should fight for some of the inheritance, so she called her back to Hong Kong.
Ling Sui probably understood that the Mo family's main business scope was in the entertainment industry, and Mo Ziqing was considered a professional match. In order to fight for the family property, she was anxious to make achievements. But the cash flow she can utilize is definitely not as good as her brothers and sisters, so she urgently needs to participate in talent shows to make money.
This means that if Mo Ziqing repeatedly hits a wall with her, she will most likely not give up her plan but turn to look for someone else.
She is a person who is very good at pleasing others and her moral standards should be very flexible. None of the reasons Ling Sui gave for rejecting her was that "this show won't be popular."
So, what kind of changes will she bring?
The award presenter announced the winner of this year's Best Actress on the stage. When her name was called, Ling Sui stood up calmly and walked onto the stage amid applause from the audience.
Fans who know her well enough will know that every time Ling Suisui gives an acceptance speech, she has a fixed line.
"This is the beginning of a new stage, and I will continue to move forward along the path in my heart."
