Chapter 289
The king does not see the king, but the two little kings do not care
The Magnolia Awards announced the shortlist at the end of May, which caused a huge stir.
It is obvious that "Yao Tai Lu" is a good work, otherwise it would not have won eight nominations. But in this case, it is very intriguing that Ling Suisui, the heroine, failed to be nominated for the Best Actress.
Although it is not a big deal to miss out on a best actress award because of her huge star power, fans who like "Yao Tai Lu" and Jia Yue and Fei Guang still feel sad.
Forget about the trophy that Kali wanted last year, this year he wasn’t even nominated. Shouldn't she have broken the record if she acted so well? Some people even said that "the audience will get tired of her winning awards all the time", and the audience said that they don't need to be represented, as the number of views has already given the choice and the answer.
The fact that Ling Suisui was not shortlisted has attracted far more attention than the Magnolia Awards shortlist itself. Rather than the nominated works and actors this year, netizens seem to be more concerned about why Ling Suisui was dropped from the nomination.
For a time, all kinds of "real news" and conspiracy theories were making a big fuss. Some people said that she had offended some big shot, others said that she had missed the awards ceremony before, so the Magnolia Awards had to give her face... These statements were so convincing that if Ling Suisui was not the person involved, people would probably take them seriously.
Ling Suisui had no intention of responding. This kind of thing didn't require her to respond. It's not her who is being questioned, why is she in such a hurry?
At present, she is most concerned about two things, namely the preparatory work of "Ru Meng Ling" and the movie promotion of "Beauty and the Beast".
After her sister's crew finished filming, Ling Suisui only took a short break for a few days before diving into a new round of work. She has traveled back and forth across the Pacific several times this month, and will probably do so even more frequently next month.
"Beauty and the Beast" is about to be released, and advertisements placed by Dyland can be seen in many countries around the world. The two leading actors are also promoting the film everywhere and attending various meet-and-greets.
They also had a relatively important promotional event in the country, namely the recording of the variety show Happy Sunday. This program has been running for many years and has remained popular on fruit channels. It has long been included in the luxury drama promotion packages for various film and television projects.
Ling Suisui recorded Fast Seven when she just debuted, and she will come whenever she has time when a new drama is broadcast. Her relationship with the host Yin Ke became better and better, and she has witnessed the replacement of several groups of permanent guests.
Speaking of which, Yin Ke is also Tang Bing's good friend. When Ling Sui was recording her first Fast Seven, Tang Bing asked Yin Keduo to take care of her.
And just last year, when Zhao Xianning joined the new permanent roster of Fast 7, Ling Suisui also said something similar.
Although Ling Suisui seldom appears on variety shows and does not have much interaction with Yin Ke at work, the latter has witnessed her journey from newcomer to superstar - this "superstar" is not a self-proclaimed title by her, but a positioning given to her by the Fast 7 program crew.
This time she and James came to the show with a promotional mission, and Fast Seven showed great importance to it. After all, this kind of promotion is a two-way process, and they also wanted to take advantage of the traffic of Ling Suisui and Princess Dilande's movie.
Besides, Ling Suisui is the KPI light of Fruit Channel and Fruit Video. They really want to make the second season of "Sui Sui With You", but she is always busy.
In the past, Fast 7 always had a mix of guests, and one episode might have to invite many people to complete several publicity tasks. This time, the program team specially opened a "Princess Special" for Ling Sui, and the only flying guests they planned to invite at the beginning were her and James.
After the news of the recording of this episode spread, many artists wanted to come, but the director did not agree. The host and the permanent cast are enough. Inviting more guests means taking up more shots of the two leading actors. The director knows who the audience wants to see.
However, if it is these two, it is another story. Who would have thought that Li Mingxu and Xu Shiling would appear in the same frame in a variety show!
These two are the most popular "top male stars", and people in the circle tacitly agree that they "don't meet each other". But this matter also depends on the situation. If it were in front of the great king Ling Suisui, the two little kings would not have so many concerns and considerations.
The male traffic stars who were brought to fame by Ling Suisui all have similar characteristics: when they first became popular, they tried hard to hype up the CP, and after the show was over, they wanted to purify and be beautiful, and after being beaten by Suisui fans, they had to swallow their anger after recognizing the reality, and the raw fans fantasized about their own ascension to heaven in broad daylight. After going around in circles, they found that it was still most cost-effective to follow Suisui and get some soup...
Since Ling Sui left, they have never had a hit work with over 100 million views per episode or a huge profit at the box office. The competition among traffic students is too fierce. If you don’t follow Ling Suisui and get some benefits, you will hardly be able to move forward!
So these two people came, and other fans laughed at them for being addicted to being the son-in-law, while scolding their own studio for being useless. Is it difficult to squeeze in to record an episode of Fast Seven? You can't even do such a small thing! There is no way to be a bootlicker!
Fans despise son-in-law and bootlickers. Is it for pride and dignity? How is that possible? Of course it’s because I can’t take responsibility.
Why are they the only two who can cling to Ling Suisui? Can’t we give the “newcomers” a chance? How abominable!
Finally, four guests were decided for this episode, namely Ling Suisui, the male lead of her new work, and two of her good friends in the circle who came to help promote it - this is the official statement.
It was only when Ling Sui participated in the rehearsal that she discovered that the costumes of the guests in this episode were particularly exquisite. Zhao Xianning introduced to her that the program crew also spent a lot of money to upgrade the scenery in the studio to create a European castle style.
This is how superstars are treated. She doesn’t even have to ask anyone for help when she goes out to promote her role; others beg her to come.
When James came to China, he was also shocked by Ling Suisui's popularity in the country - on the way from the airport to the recording location, he could see her almost as long as he looked up, she was simply everywhere!
If the huge advertisements at the airport are brand placements, then what are the bus stop signs, the big screens in the square, and the flags near the recording location? He didn't know Chinese characters, but in his opinion, even if Deland advertised everywhere in China, it would not adopt such an intensive approach.
Well... Ling Suisui didn't expect that just some casual support from Suisui would open James' eyes.
She briefly explained and changed the subject in the face of the other party's incredulous gaze.
"I heard from Bertha that you were dumped again?"
James: "...I have to make it clear that Valentina and I broke up peacefully. She didn't dump me. She just said it first. We already had a consensus in our hearts."
"I understand." Ling Suisui nodded in understanding, "So you really were dumped."
James covered his face and said, forget it, let it be destroyed. She and Bertha were good friends, and they must have been gossiping about him behind his back.
He also changed the subject: "Let's talk about something else. I heard that Richard rejected Wendy Walsh because he had someone in his heart."
Ling Suisui glanced at him and asked, "Who said only women like to gossip?" When it comes to finding out about these emotional news, men are also very curious.
She shrugged. "So? It has nothing to do with me."
"Well, it seems that he is just being sentimental." James sighed, "Just like me back then."
Being able to make fun of this incident, it seems that James has completely recovered.
Ling Sui lowered his head and smiled secretly. He originally wanted to tease him again, but then he changed his mind and felt that this was too immoral, so he decided to give it up.
Although she and James did not deliberately avoid people, they were naturally isolated from communication with the people around them because they spoke in English.
Li Mingxu was very unhappy. He felt that Xu Shiling had utilitarian motives for coming to record the show. James didn't look like a good person. The relationship between the other people and Ling Sui was just so-so. He should be the person who was most familiar and caring with Sister Sui at the scene.
He resumed his old job as a younger brother in the studio, pouring water for Ling Suisui and getting a blanket for her. He was also very careful when it came to the process, considering all the problems for Ling Suisui first, even leaving her assistant with nothing to do.
Seeing this, Xu Shiling was unwilling to fall behind. He is gritting his teeth in his heart, so it seems that you have a good relationship with Ling Suisui? As if everyone has worked with her before, he and Ling Suisui kissed more times (in the play) than him!
Since Xu Shiling couldn't get the errand running job, he took the spiritual care route. He really came prepared, and prepared a bunch of Cantonese jokes, which made Ling Sui laugh out loud and evoked his infinite nostalgia for his hometown dialect.
After all, she doesn't have many opportunities to speak Cantonese in her daily life, let alone when filming abroad. Although the Cantonese spoken in Hong Kong is mixed with English, it can still be considered a local accent.
Ling Suisui felt very comfortable listening to this, but the American James next to him was confused.
He seemed to understand a few words, but it sounded weird when mixed with Chinese… No, how come the way you speak English is weirder than the British?
However, just because James doesn't understand Chinese doesn't mean he can't read facial expressions.
He clearly felt that the two boys at the scene were both trying to please Ling Suisui, and that they were hostile to each other. He could have easily watched from the sidelines, but when they all looked at him at the same time, all the hostility was transferred to him.
James: …
Although he knows that the theme of today's program is the princess and the three knights, it hasn't been officially recorded yet, so you don't have to get into the role so quickly!
James couldn't sit still any longer. He whispered to Ling Suisui, "Aren't you going to explain to these two men that I'm not your admirer?"
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are just joking with you for the effect of the next show."
Yeah? James glanced at Li Mingxu and Xu Shiling. If this is all acting, then they are really good actors.
He wanted to say something, but the looks from these two people, which showed that they wanted him to leave Ling Suisui, were too direct, which made James not want to talk, let alone leave.
If I remember correctly, he is the male lead in this movie promotion. What are these two people doing? Even if they had worked with Lindsay before, that was a thing of the past.
At least in this studio, and in the promotional mission related to this movie, he is Lindsay's official partner.
Thinking of this, James straightened his back and fought back with his eyes. The three men looked at each other, their dissatisfaction with each other written on their faces.
And Ling Suisui... Ling Suisui, who was originally sitting here, simply got up and left.
Since she had nothing to do at the moment, she went to the studio next door to chat with Xiao Zhang. To be honest, she didn't want to play with these boring men at all.
The real owners had left, and James and the others looked at each other in loneliness, then turned their gazes away in disappointment.
Zhao Xianning, who was watching, sighed. These men.
She had a feeling that the recording of this episode might be quite exciting.
