Chapter 106
Ling Suisui: Live singing contestant at the New Year's Eve concert
For the crew, the biggest trouble is not who to invite to act, but that the project has been completed. If they want to reshoot, they have to reschedule the lead actors, reconvene the crew, etc. The cost here is the highest.
But there is no other way. No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. The other content of this episode has been filmed. We can't just not do it, right?
As for this part of the cost bill, the producer will definitely ask Qu Ziping to pay it back. If he refuses to pay, then we will go to court.
At this time, the platform and investors were extremely grateful that Yin Mingcheng had insisted on playing the role of Zheng Jun.
The loss caused by his guest role is still within controllable range. If he played the leading role, the cost of remaking the drama would be too high and might not be recovered.
Ling Suisui also breathed a sigh of relief, the two hundred points were not spent in vain.
The airport scene needs to be re-shot, and it will have to wait until after New Year's Day. Today is New Year's Eve, and she is rehearsing for her New Year's Eve concert on Fruit Channel.
The director team initially wanted her to sing with the mic half-open, but Ling Suisui declined.
——It sounds so nice, but isn’t this lip-syncing?
There are many different interpretations of the so-called "half-open mic". The most common explanation is that there are both microphone sound and original singing track at the same time. It seems that as long as there is human voice, it is considered "real singing".
Although Ling Suisui is an actor, she has also listened to Chi Jia's popular science, which says that the most rigorous performance accompaniment sound sources should be divided into four categories, namely AR (recordings with the singer's voice and accompaniment, usually equal to the original CD song), MR (recordings with only accompaniment, which may include accompaniment), pure vocals and pure instrumental accompaniment.
The backing vocals in MR are a kind of harmony, which is different from formal singing.
Among these four options, there is no room for "half-open mic" or "backing sound". As long as AR is played, no matter what the volume ratio is, no matter what kind of breathing or wrong words are heard on the scene, it is strictly speaking lip-syncing.
As for what the standards are for domestic entertainment...just use your own judgment.
If he didn't know, it would be fine. But now that he knew this was the case, Ling Sui could not lower his standards for himself.
She doesn't think that actors have the "immunity" to lip-syncing. If they really can't sing, then why would they accept the notice of the New Year's Eve concert?
Besides, an actor’s basic skills are voice, stage, acting and performance. The “voice” here refers to vocal music, and “stage” is the lines.
Moreover, Ling Suisui's performance this year was very short. Although it was a solo, the whole show was a medley of songs, and her part was about one minute.
Give her one night and she can practice the song well.
During the rehearsal, Ling Suisui's performance was also very stable. This version serves as an emergency videotape. If something goes wrong during the live broadcast, the director will immediately switch to the rehearsal video.
There are two men and two women performing in the medley program, most of them are popular stars who have gained some popularity this year, and none of them are professional singers. Ling Suisui could feel that their attitude towards him was somewhat exclusive.
She knew why, because in the entire medley program, she was the only one who insisted on using MR and never used AR.
Ling Suisui smiled at them and had no intention of forcing his way in to play with them.
She does value her connections in the entertainment industry, but that doesn't mean she has to please everyone. In fact, she works hard to run her career, partly so that she can have the confidence to stick to her principles.
After all, her performance standards are only for herself, and she doesn't ask others to do the same.
If they gang up on her and exclude her because she refuses to lip-sync, then there is no need to make friends with such colleagues. Everyone should just save face and complete the business mission of the concert.
On the day of the official performance, all artists' lounges are divided according to the shows.
There were four dressing tables in the lounge where Ling Suisui was. At this time, everyone had finished their makeup and hair, and only the artists and assistants were left in the room.
The other three still don't have a good impression of Ling Suisui - but they are all in the entertainment industry and they are not likely to do anything like a "vicious villain" such as saying bad things or tripping others up.
A little friction wouldn't lead to this extent, and everyone has a brain and a relatively normal IQ.
The only way they could exclude her was to get together and chat without Ling Sui.
However, Ling Suisui had no time to pay attention to their little thoughts.
She was busy, and she hadn't taken her eyes off her laptop since the makeup artist left. Of course, this waiting time should be used to do serious work, such as writing a proposal report for her graduation thesis.
No one talked to her, which was what Ling Sui wanted. If they came over and talked nonsense, trapping her in a vortex of ineffective social interaction, she would feel that something was wrong.
As for Kang Le, she had been with Ling Suisui for so long that she had long since gotten used to the quiet environment.
When her boss has nothing to do and wants to look for her, she will search Ling Suisui's name on the Internet, pay attention to the artist's public opinion, or take a few online courses to improve herself. This is also what Tong Xiaoman allows and encourages her to do.
Seeing how calm and indifferent they were, the others felt uncomfortable.
This scene did not seem like they were isolating Ling Suisui, but rather like Ling Suisui was isolating them.
A few people found it boring, and they didn't know each other very well, so they left the lounge and went to chat with other friends.
When they left, they found that Ling Sui's eyes were still glued to the computer screen, without even a glance away.
Others: …
They left with mixed feelings. After a while, Ling Suisui heard someone knocking on the door.
Kang Le opened the door and found that it was Chi Jia who came to visit the lounge.
"Are you alone?" Chi Jia was a little surprised.
Ling Suisui was still typing on the keyboard: "Well, they all went out to find friends, just like you are now."
She and Chi Jia were quite familiar with each other, so it was okay not to entertain him.
Sure enough, Chi Jia didn't care about Ling Suisui's attitude. He sat down in the chair next to her and said to her, "Are you using MR tonight?"
"Yes, you are well-informed."
"My friend told me." Chi Jia said proudly, "You are worthy of being my good brother. After this, let's have a midnight snack together. You are welcome to join our domestic entertainment real singing alliance."
Ling Suisui smiled. In a sense, the domestic entertainment industry was not completely doomed.
A mixed bag of good and bad is actually the norm in every industry.
"Forget the midnight snack. I'm taking a 5am flight back to the capital." Ling Suisui paused, then said, "Also, you can call me a good friend, or a good sister."
Between these two titles, Chi Jia decisively chose the former.
The two chatted for a while, and Ling Suisui was not in a hurry to send him away. After all, in the Fruit Channel's New Year's Eve concert, Chi Jia was her only familiar friend. Although she knew some of the other guests, they were only acquaintances.
She glanced at the program: "You have a lot of programs tonight, including solos and choruses."
"Well, the company asked me to bring in a newcomer. She is the C position in this year's antenna talent show."
Chi Jia added: "She and I are just colleagues, there is no relationship outside of work."
The system (silent version) prompts that she has unlocked a new achievement called "Keep Oneself Clean".
Ling Suisui: ...
She thought about it and swallowed the words "You don't have to explain to me" because it felt even weirder if she said it out loud.
Chi Jia stayed here for about ten minutes. During this time, an artist came back and chatted with him and tried to find topics to talk about.
Although they both used MR sound sources in their performances, their attitude towards Chi Jia was much more enthusiastic than that towards Ling Suisui.
Tsk, this is the entertainment industry.
Although Chi Jia didn't know the inside story, Ling Suisui would not come to him to "complain". But he found that these people seemed to be very distant from Suisui, so he did not communicate with them further.
He mouthed to Ling Suisui: "I am very loyal!"
Ling Suisui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of scene was this of kindergarten kids forming cliques?
Seeing that the time was almost up, she urged Chi Jia to go back quickly, as she had to confirm the guests' preparation status before the show started.
The New Year’s Eve concert invited many guests and the star lineup was very luxurious, but the one with the most fans in the audience was still the top star Chi Jia.
Although Fruit Channel does not allow fans to bring light sticks, and will post them on the big screen to criticize them if they are discovered, the compilation concerts of domestic entertainment have never been able to control the fans who are obsessed with comparison.
When Chi Jia went on stage to sing, the audience seats lit up with a sea of purple.
Ling Sui's performance will be right after Chi Jia. He will perform twice tonight, now in the chorus and the solo will be before midnight.
While waiting backstage, she heard the deafening sound of “Chi Jia——” and truly felt the popularity of the top star.
Moreover, this is not even his prime. If this happened a few years ago, his fans would have turned the ceiling of the concert purple.
Even though idols and actors are on different tracks, Ling Suisui is still very envious at this moment.
——Of course, I mean envy that Chi Jia has so many fans who truly love him, not the light boards under the stage. After all, the purple sea in the audience seats did affect the lighting effects of the stage center console.
In fact, Chi Jia also cooperated with the fruit channel to post a Weibo, saying that it is recommended not to bring light boards, but in this case, celebrities really can’t control their fans...
When Ling Suisui came on stage, all the lights in Zihai had been turned off. The host was giving the introduction on the other side, while the auditorium where she was waiting was pitch black.
This was not beyond her expectations. After all, she only sang a one-minute song. There was no need to ask fans to buy tickets for the concert. They could just support her in front of the TV.
She was counting the beats in her mind, and before she put on her earphones, she suddenly heard a very loud "Ling Sui Sui——" coming from the audience.
Ling Sui turned her head in shock, and then her name was called a few more times. It seemed that this incident was contagious, and more and more people were calling her.
This really... surprised and unexpected her, and she was also glad that she chose to use the MR sound source to live up to the fans who shouted her name in the audience.
Whether they bought tickets for her or just called out her name a few times, this thought was precious to Ling Suisui.
Ling Suisui successfully completed tonight's performance, and her performance was even better than during the rehearsal. The comments in the live broadcast room of the concert were basically all praising her for her good looks and nice voice.
Although her performance was on the hot search list, with so many stars and concerts dominating the hot search list, only her fans and passers-by who liked her for her looks were screaming and rolling on the ground excitedly, and it did not attract much attention.
At this point, no one knew that she, a talented actress, was actually one of the few live singing contestants tonight.
Every year’s New Year’s Eve concert will have a major segment a few seconds before midnight.
Ling Suisui also came on stage as a guest performer. She followed the host and counted down from ten, shouted Happy New Year together, and bowed deeply several times in the direction of the voice that had called her name before.
At midnight, the guests on the stage who knew each other were hugging each other, but the people around Ling Suisui were not very familiar with her.
Just as she was about to walk to the corner and spend this half minute quietly, Chi Jia walked through the crowded crowd and came to her with a grin.
"Sui Sui, Happy New Year!"
He opened his arms and hugged Ling Sui on the stage.
The live camera immediately followed and the audience below the stage was also screaming. Ling Sui hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that the guests around him were hugging each other, he calmly stretched out his hand to respond.
"Happy New Year," she said. "May all your wishes come true."
Chi Jia: "Then I wish you to make the best TV series and movies in the world, and every one of them will be a hit."
"By the way, I heard that you are preparing a film and television project. When can it be launched? If you need an OST, just tell me. I will write a song for you for free!"
Ling Suisui: ...
Wait, if he said that, she would take it seriously.
