Chapter 137
The welcome gift owed by the master
Tang Bing agreed to Ling Sui's request and asked her to step aside to adjust herself.
The actor who played He Panren whispered to her, "I didn't scare the child, did I? She's not embarrassed to cry in front of us."
"...Do you underestimate her, or overestimate yourself?"
Tang Bing was speechless: "She just wants to think about it, don't think too much. Besides, young people nowadays are not that fragile. Do you think female stars have never seen this kind of look before?"
It is precisely because Ling Sui has seen a lot and has a strong understanding and imagination as an actor that she feels particularly uncomfortable. If she replaces someone with a slow reaction, it would be like punching cotton, and the other party would just look at you blankly.
"Why don't you go and give some guidance?"
"No, I've taught her everything she needs to know, and it will be better if she figures it out on her own. If she needs it, she'll ask me for help."
Tang Bing understood her—Ling Suisui was indeed a bit concerned about her reputation, but she was not the kind of person who would force herself to save face.
Giving young people some small setbacks can help them grow faster.
A few minutes later, Ling Suisui returned to the set and had adjusted himself.
She thought a lot while squatting in the corner, and went over the eyes of the senior actor in her mind several times, forcing herself to desensitize.
Faced with this kind of gaze, a woman's anger or weakness is a stimulant to the other party. If she wants to break the other party's defense, her attitude should be dismissive.
The most important thing is that this "disdain" must be to the extent that the other party can clearly perceive it and hurt his dignity. If it is the kind of "disdain to pay attention" that is a spiritual victory, it is no different from surrendering with a cold face.
Ling Suisui thought about seizing the initiative so that she could perform better and would not be easily suppressed by the opponent. But she thought about it again and realized that this way of acting didn't make sense logically. According to the script, she should strike back.
So, she quickly put the idea behind her. There was no way she would disrupt the rhythm of the script, which had no problems, just for the sake of taking it easy.
Before filming, the actor opposite her asked her, "Are you ready?"
"I'm ready." Ling Suisui replied, "Your performance was excellent. I learned a little bit from the review."
The other party smiled and didn't ask what it was.
Performance is not something that can be achieved by speaking, but by showing it.
The footage shot before can still be used, and this time the shooting progress continues from He Panren's subtle courtship.
The actor's performance remained steady, and he saw Ling Suisui's lips curled up slightly - was she planning to use facial expressions to make up for the lack of eye contact? It is not a bad idea.
However, he soon realized that expression was not the focus of Ling Suisui's performance.
Her reaction was not purely one of suppression. When they looked at each other, the first emotion he felt was ridicule, then warning, and finally, she looked at him with disdain, and even a little doubt.
There is no anger, no disgust, it is not "Why do you look at me like this", but "Are you worthy of looking at me like this?"
Straightforward contempt would only make her look like a vicious villain; this kind of language and actions, which are decent but convey deep details of contempt everywhere, are in line with her superior political status in the feudal era.
On this point, Ling Suisui's handling was very clever. The senior who was stared at by her also understood what she had just said she had learned.
——This is not just the "skin" of the story. He and she acted out this scene once, and she quickly grasped the essence of "it's natural"!
Whether it is his gaze or Ling Sui's contempt, the key point that can break people's defense is that the person on the other side thinks so from the bottom of his heart, he does not think this is an offense to you, and you really cannot change the status quo.
Li Sanniang couldn't stare back, but she didn't need to go around in circles with He Panren in this line of thinking. She was the leader of an insurgent army that fought for her country on horseback. How could she fall into the opponent's PUA trap?
Want to objectify and suppress her? It's so funny, who do you think you are?
Perhaps it was because her counterattack was so unexpected that the actor on the opposite side was also stunned for a moment. Given Tang Bing's high standards, this scene will definitely have to be re-shot.
The director said, "Come on, you two are tied at one to one."
"No, no." Ling Suisui said immediately, "Teacher Zhang's performance was amazing. I was really shocked. Although I only learned 70% or 80%, it also exceeded Teacher Zhang's expectations."
The actor who plays He Panren is surnamed Zhang, with full name Zhang Yun, and everyone in the crew calls him Teacher Zhang. This title is actually not that valuable when all the logistics staff who distribute lunch boxes are called "Teacher X".
He was not deaf, and at first glance Ling Suisui's words seemed to be a way to help him out, but upon closer inspection, they also pointed out that he looked down on her.
Before the performance, she had only learned the basics, but after finishing, she had mastered 70% to 80% of it. Yet no one can accuse her of bragging.
Judging from her performance just now, this valuation range is a bit conservative.
Zhang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not teaching at school like your teacher Tang. We all graduated from the Film Academy. You can just call me Senior Brother."
Ling Suisui looked at Tang Bing, exchanged glances with her and said with a smile:
"No, that won't work. You are one level lower than my teacher. If I call you Senior Brother, wouldn't that mess up the generations? I'd better call you Uncle."
This way of calling is very subtle - senior brother or sister is a broad title that can be used by anyone, but if you call him uncle-master, then he is "one of our own" in the small circle.
Tang Bing had never taken Ling Suisui to meet people before, and Ling Suisui was not in a hurry.
After all, there is a difference between a teacher having face and yourself having face. If she couldn't show some real ability to impress others, and if she was separated from Tang Bing's halo, no one would look at her seriously.
Ling Suisui is a very strong-willed person and she doesn't intend to rely on her teacher for the rest of her life. Besides, who among the second-generation circle doesn’t have the ambition of “making my elders famous through me in the future”?
Being able to get to this point is considered successful and prestigious.
So, this senior has been in the group for a long time, but Ling Suisui only mentioned this matter today.
As expected, Zhang Yun agreed straightforwardly: "Okay, then I should give you a little gift - alas, I didn't bring anything valuable today, I'll make it up to you next time."
Tang Bing joked, "I've made a note of this for Sui Sui. If you dare to stand me up, I'll find a big pot and boil you over."
Everyone around started laughing, and some people envied Ling Sui's good luck.
Are you acknowledging me as your uncle master now? Zhang Yun is not only a good actor, but also very popular in the film industry. It is said that one of his relatives even controls an important cinema chain.
Having a cinema chain means having film schedules... So Tang Bing boldly chose Ling Suisui as the leading female character, and had the capital willing to take a chance with her to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
It’s an investment of several hundred million! The box office must at least double, so that after sharing the profits with the cinemas, the investors can get their money back!
Some people say that she is lucky, but people who understand will know that if it weren't for this eye contact, no matter how sweetly Ling Suisui called him "Uncle Master", Zhang Yun would just be happy and would never mention a gift.
Zhang Yun is not a walking philanthropist. If a friendship cannot benefit both parties, it will not last long.
The cheerful atmosphere on the scene did not last long. The two actors chatted for a while and continued to devote themselves to filming.
Since Ling Suisui called him uncle-master, Zhang Yun would just say some things directly.
He asked her, "Why did you smile before? Was it intentional or a subconscious action?"
Ling Suisui didn't even remember that she had smiled. After thinking about it, she realized that he was probably referring to the fact that she raised the corners of her mouth.
"It's a bit of a conditioned reflex." Ling Suisui answered honestly, "I focus on my eyes, and when I want to convey this emotion, the corners of my mouth move unconsciously."
"You need to change this." Zhang Yun said seriously, "Although your smile is in line with Li Sanniang's character setting and the director didn't ask you to stop, all those little movements are signs of performance. Once an actor starts acting that kind of thing, his acting style will be fixed, and whatever he plays in the future will be like playing himself."
Ling Suisui nodded obediently. Although Zhang Yun wanted to save face in front of her... as long as it was helpful to her objectively, it didn't matter to her what the other party's subjective thoughts were.
Not only did she give feedback, she also looked at Zhang Yun with admiration, providing him with sufficient emotional value and coaxing this uncle to share his experience like crazy. All of them were practical knowledge gained from years of practicing the art, without a single drop of water.
Well, at this rate, Ling Suisui is confident that he can get the most out of him before the filming is wrapped, extract the essence of his uncle's acting experience, turn it into his own, and then carry it forward.
It was not until the afternoon that Ling Suisui found out who the special guest actor who played her subordinate was. According to the accurate description of the movie, he is here to make a cameo appearance.
When she confirmed that the person was Ying Nian, she was a little surprised, but not so surprised.
Yes... Although "Zhao Jiang" is the main performance of the Film Academy, Tang Bing also invited many friends to drink soup together. It is a matter of sharing the dividends as well as sharing the risks.
Ling Suisui had no objection to this candidate. In her impression, Yingnian had a foundation in fighting scenes.
And she didn't watch it on TV, but on the set of "Ding Feng Bo". At that time, she was lying on the ground as a background board, and Ying Nian was fighting very hard over there.
Let’s not talk about the effect for now, at least he was really fighting, not a stunt double + slow motion. In this respect alone, he has surpassed 80% of the traffic stars in the domestic entertainment industry.
Plus, he has been taking classes and training for the past two years, so he should have made some special improvements in fighting scenes, so maybe we can look forward to it.
Ying Nian had just arrived when he was warmly received by the main creators of the crew. But he had no time for socializing and just wanted to find Ling Suisui.
However, Ling Suisui changed his assistant and he did not recognize Qi Xiaoqing. This caused him to take many detours, and after much difficulty he finally managed to get out of the encirclement, and finally found where Ling Sui's dressing room was.
When he was about to come in, the system reminded her that Ying Nian was very excited and his heart and eyes were full of joy of seeing her soon.
It said this simply to condemn her as a scumbag - the other party's favorability has been full for so long, but she has no intention of falling in love with him at all! Look how wronged he is!
Ling Suisui was too lazy to pay attention to it. No matter what the system said, her brain could automatically filter it out.
However, when Ling Suisui looked at himself in the mirror, an interesting idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Not to mention the changes in her arm muscles, her current makeup seems to be very different from Qin Xian when Ying Nian was attracted to her...
Qin Xian and Sanniang, one is like the bright white moonlight, weak and swaying in the wind, eliciting pity; the other is the leader of the rebel army, strong and powerful, wielding swords and guns, and able to swing his arms and throw him over the shoulder at any time.
She said to the system: [Guess, when Yingnian sees me like this, will his favorability value go down? 】
