Chapter 286
It turns out that being a leader and reaping the rewards is such a great feeling
In fact, it is very common for actors to be slipped away before a film or television project in the entertainment industry is officially announced.
From the actors themselves, to the funding platforms, or third-party insiders, anyone may reveal some true or false information, all for the sake of hype for traffic.
The Yu Jiaxing Feibing incident should not have been mocked so harshly - if his fans had not been so crazy about him, had not used this project to step on other artists, and had not been so impatient to label themselves as "a rising star in the film industry", this incident would have just passed quietly.
It just so happens that Yu fans did not miss any of the above things, so this boomerang was particularly slapping to their faces. Not only did Taizi fans follow suit and laugh at him, many Sheng fans also followed suit to gloat over his misfortune.
The casting of Ling Suisui's new film is no secret in the circle. I heard that several rounds of male actors were screened and the director's vision is incredibly high. While the fans were regretful that they had not been successfully selected, they also did not want any other students of their age to be selected.
This Zhang Haoyu is very suitable. He has been performing in dramas since graduation. Even if he wins an award for this movie, the impact on male stars in the domestic entertainment industry will be minimized. After all, no traffic star has emerged from art films.
Besides, it is difficult for art films to sweep multiple awards at a single film festival. Does Zhang Haoyu want to win an acting award? You have to get past Ling Sui first, which is hellishly difficult.
Therefore, Yan Siling's choice made all the fans happy, but for Yu Jiaxing, who made a splash in variety shows and hurt another wave of fans after this incident, other fans should be on high alert.
In fact, Yu Jiaxing’s fans did not just sit there and allow themselves to be mocked. They did fight back a little.
For example, Yu fans criticized Ling Suisui for forming a clique in the entertainment industry, only liking to work with actors from the Film Academy, and not giving others opportunities. This behavior is too bad. It is the capital suppressing newcomers. She must give Yu Jiaxing justice!
This accusation is a bit too much, but Sui Si doesn't even bother to care. It's just the helpless rage of the fans when their defense is broken.
Sui Si didn't want to help the poor, but passers-by were confused and thought that Ling Sui was bullying a newcomer. After asking, they found out that he was not chosen to star in his movie.
Ah, this... is this considered suppressing people? Who would dare to ask Yu Jiaxing for an audition in the future? His fans are really shameless. If they didn't choose him, it must be that the capital is suppressing him. Is it possible that his acting skills are not good enough?
Yu's fans brought out Yu Jiaxing's highlight cuts from variety shows, and the audience didn't have much psychological fluctuations.
Please, everyone has seen Ling Suisui’s works in recent years, and he has very high standards. Everyone admits that he has some ability, but it’s not to the point where he is the only one who can do it and is unrivaled in the world, right?
A passerby posted a collection of Ling Sui's acting skills, allowing Yu fans to eat more good things. Don’t be reluctant to read it, maybe your brother is studying this textbook.
Yu fans were extremely angry but unable to refute. Moreover, Ling Sui has "accumulated a lot of influence" in the domestic entertainment industry for a long time. Some big fans have taken the lead in implying her, but the small fans who usually do whatever she is told do not dare to follow, and are worried about offending others.
Since the fans are so disunited, there is certainly no chance of a fight. After Yu Jiaxing bound the system, the law that "when encountering difficulties, you will definitely slap the other party in the face" was broken.
If Yu Jiaxing could listen to Ling Suisui's words, he would understand that, to some extent, this was actually his luck.
The domestic entertainment industry is in turmoil (from the perspective of fans and those who enjoy the entertainment), but within the crew of "The Sister Who Can't Get Married", everything is peaceful and quiet.
The filming period of the movie is not long, only about thirty days in total. Ling Suisui was in the group throughout the whole process, and Zhang Wen did not arrange any other itinerary for her.
Harvest Media chose a good time for the filming, as there are almost no well-known film awards held in April.
After the filming of the movie started, "The Great Swordsman" was nominated for the Temple of Heaven Award at the Capital International Film Festival. Similar to the rules of Cannes, the Tiantan Award also nominates works first and then selects winners from among the main creative staff.
Ling Sui did not attend the event because she had to film a movie. She prepared her acceptance speech in advance. If she is lucky enough to win the Best Actress award, the assistant director will go on stage and read it on her behalf.
Why is he the assistant director? Because Pei Xuehai was also very busy and happened to miss the Tiantan Awards. He not only wants to receive domestic awards, but also foreign awards. After all, "The Great Swordsman" was released in many countries around the world.
Speaking of awards abroad, "Walk the Swordsman" was actually nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Film, but unfortunately it ultimately came second.
When the nomination news first came out, the industry had very high expectations for Wuyou. After all, no film from mainland China has ever won this award, and martial arts has always been a favorite theme of Chinese-language films among Americans. Maybe there is hope?
But unfortunately, the competition for the best international film this year was very fierce, and "Wu Xia Wu You" lost to the winner of the Berlin Golden Bear Award, which made Pei Xuehai and Ling Suisui couldn't help but sigh.
Although Wuyou missed the award, for the Chinese film industry, getting a nomination is also a great achievement. After all, the last Chinese film nominated for this award was made decades ago.
Moreover, "Wu Xia" was not only nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, but also for the Golden Globe Awards and the British Academy Film Awards. At the British Academy Film Awards, Director Pei won the trophy for "Best Film Not in the English Language", which can be considered a gain.
Ling Sui was writing her acceptance speech on the set, and Gu Size next to her was very envious.
He couldn't even count how many awards "The Great Swordsman" had won at home and abroad. This is an award that is highly recognized in the industry and well-known among the public. If we count all of them, they would be so densely packed that it would be impossible to list them all.
It's only April, and the movie hasn't even been released for a year. The nominations for the second half of the year's awards haven't been announced yet. Some awards are still given every two years, so next year will still be the award period for "The Journey of Flower."
The most important thing is that all the movies are aiming for awards such as "Best Picture" and "Best Foreign Language Film", not awards such as photography, screenplay, visual effects, music and editing.
It’s not that the above-mentioned awards are not important, but these technical awards have nothing to do with the actors. Only fans who are extremely thick-skinned, self-righteous and lacking in actual achievements will include them in the review chart for vanity, but the overall evaluation of the film is different.
Ling Suisui is the protagonist and the core character of the film. Any selection of the best film is a recognition and appreciation of her performance.
Gu Size: "Will our work be submitted to the film festival?"
"Yes." Ling Suisui gave an affirmative answer, "I haven't decided which one yet, but it should be Berlin."
Gu Size also guessed it was Berlin. Because among the three major international film festivals, Berlin pays more attention to social reality and prefers this subject matter and style.
As for whether it was the main competition unit, Gu Size did not ask further. There is not much point in discussing this now. We have to wait until the movie is released and then decide based on the results.
Just as Ling Suisui guessed, as long as it is beneficial to him, Gu Size will definitely do his best.
He wrote a thick biography for his character, and then condensed it into a few pages. This process of expansion and refinement took a long time. He did not take any work for two months before the filming started.
The movie is considered a top three achievement, so he is top three. If my sister wins an award in the future, he will also have a share of the glory.
With this pie hanging in the balance, Gu Size is really fighting for his life. For him, whether he can restore his reputation that has been ridiculed by the public depends on his performance this time.
On the crew, he not only worked hard himself, but also urged other actors to work hard.
Note that the scope of “others” refers to everyone except Ling Suisui.
Zhang Haoyu needed to adapt to the different performance styles of drama and film, and it was Gu Size who taught him everything he knew; Tao Jing accidentally caught a cold and affected her filming state, and it was Gu Size who watched her take medicine and kept an eye on the indoor air-conditioning temperature.
To what extent is Gu Size worried? Even when Ji Shuyan encountered a math problem that she couldn't solve, and Feng Li fell on the set, he showed up in time. He is the crew's timely rain, and anyone who has trouble will think of him first.
Ling Suisui couldn't help but sigh, why do people say that Teacher Gu is so popular in the circle? He really does take action when something happens.
Never mind whether his motives are pure or not. If a person can pretend for his whole life, what’s the difference between that and the real thing?
While Gu Size is taking care of everything, the coordinator of the crew this time is someone from Harvest Media - after several years of following the crew and learning, Qi Xiaoqing can already work on her own.
With them around, Ling Sui felt that she could spend a very enjoyable one-month filming period. She had never thought about it before, it actually feels so good to reap the rewards while others put in the effort. No wonder everyone in the circle loves to compete for the role.
Of course, Ling Suisui didn't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. After work every day, she would randomly pick one or two actors to review today's performance with them and discuss the plot to be filmed tomorrow.
Zhang Haoyu, who has never acted in a movie, is her main focus. His acting skills are fine, but he sometimes overdoes it and needs to hold back a little.
It's something everyone knows that Ling Suisui never drinks on the set. In order to cater to her preferences, many actors dare not drink in front of her for fear of leaving a bad impression on her.
"...I think it's best not to drink alcohol, but it's not that strict." Ling Suisui would be speechless when he mentioned this, "Drinking is your freedom, just don't get drunk and affect the filming. I'm worried that some people don't know how much they can drink."
So, Zhang Haoyu, who was acting opposite her, only took a bottle of cold beer.
In fact, he didn't have such a serious alcohol addiction, but Ling Suisui paid close attention to him every day, and the pressure was really too much...
But whenever he thought about how many male actors had been blocked for this role, and how many people envied his resources and approached him for information, Zhang Haoyu felt full of energy and was able to roll up his sleeves and work hard.
How hard can it be to shoot a modern drama? Just grit your teeth and it will pass. There may never be another chance to film a movie with Ling Suisui in this lifetime.
