Chapter 317
Do anybody really think that they are fighting over men?
The fan fiction author named No. 25, and set him to be handsome, 1.9 meters tall, emotionally stable, and majoring in home economics.
He is gentle, kind, considerate, and a good cook. He can feed Bai Wei her favorite food and take care of her daily life. In front of Bai Wei, he is like a spoiled puppy and gives her enough emotional value, but he is aggressive in front of Bai Fei and others and does not allow them to get close to Bai Wei.
The plot of this fan fiction is very sweet, and readers were all delighted when it was first published. Seeing Bai Wei living so happily in the parallel world, everyone was happy for her.
However, later, as this fan fiction became more and more popular and spread more and more widely, many controversial voices emerged.
Some people say that the director did not give No. 25 a name in the movie, but used a code name and ranking to indicate his existence, which has fully demonstrated Bai Wei's careless and even somewhat objectifying attitude towards the other party.
Bai Wei has been the protagonist for two hours. You said that you hoped she would live a good life, but you never carefully studied her character and mentality, and did not seek an independent path for her. Instead, you attached great importance to No. 25, whose face had never been recorded. Through unfounded imagination and brain supplementation, you gave him all the good characteristics, hoping that he could make Bai Wei happy.
May I ask on what grounds? Oh, it turns out it’s because he is a man. There's a Y chromosome, and you can't wait to kiss it.
Some people cursed Bai's father and mother after watching the movie, but turned around and praised No. 25. It's really a joke of magical realism.
This is a feminist film, it has its own agenda, so get the protagonist's objectified sexuality out of here!
Similar remarks prevailed for a while, but another group of people holding different views also expressed their opinions.
Does being in a relationship mean being sexually sedated? Why do you assume that women are in a weak position when it comes to love and sex? Are you so inferior in front of men? Bai Wei’s attitude when encountering problems is never to escape but to fight for it. She also wants to be the one in power in a relationship. Who doesn’t understand movies?
If you carefully analyze the image of No. 25 created by the fan fiction author, you will find that he completely serves Bai Wei's needs. Bai Wei doesn't look up to men, she chooses men and trains them.
Also, don’t think that it’s important just because the author gave it a name. You have to give your cat or dog a name too, right? So what if he is set as a handsome guy? The male peacock spreading its tail is the best example. His handsome face and eight-pack abs are all there to please Bai Wei.
Although there are some confused dream girls in the fan fiction comment section, there is nothing wrong with the author's original intention, and it is not the author's fault to attract these people. The author has said that No. 25 was born because Bai Wei needed him, and loving Bai Wei is the meaning of his existence.
The two groups holding different opinions argued fiercely. One group felt that glorifying men and equating men with happiness was stupid and bad. How could there be men like that in reality? Literary works should no longer give women unrealistic fantasies;
The other side insisted that the purpose of this movie was never to emphasize how miserable women are. Bai Wei's attitude towards life is "If the rules are not in my favor, then rewrite the rules." She tried to build a new love and family relationship on No. 25, and started to discipline men from her own perspective. This is clearly the behavior of a queen.
Because of this quarrel, "The Sister Who Can't Get Married" continued to gain popularity at the end of the month. While the box office was rising, some people tried to take advantage of the situation and followed a certain party's rhetoric by saying that there was something wrong with the movie itself.
Of course, their actions were unsuccessful - when men pretend to be women on the Internet, they often cannot hide the foul smell on their bodies, and both parties in the dispute hold their noses and tell them to get away.
It is normal for women to have different opinions. Even if the discussion gets a little loud, it is not the man's turn to speak at the table.
No way, does anyone really think that they are quarreling over men? Pooh.
At this time, the film roadshows have all ended, and the online promotional activities have also come to an end. Many viewers want to communicate with the creators and listen to their opinions on this matter, but they can't find an opportunity for the time being.
However, Yan Siling asked Ling Sui in private chat, which view does she support more?
Ling Sui thought about it and decided that from her personal perspective, she would find it interesting to train an obedient man. If this one doesn’t work, bye-bye, the next one will be better.
But - she is Ling Suisui, and with her financial resources and status, she has a lot of room for error in matters of love, but not everyone has what she has.
She understands very well that many women are risk-averse towards men, love and marriage. This is not a difference in character between being brave or cowardly, but is just due to objective conditions. They cannot afford to lose, and it is not their fault.
Ling Suisui felt that there was no need to rank the two sides’ views as right or wrong, and she was very happy to see such discussions.
Half of the world's population is female. Even in the same country, with different growth environments, it is impossible for everyone to achieve completely consistent internal unity in their thoughts and ideas. However, communication can become a bridge to promote understanding and seek common ground while reserving differences.
Yan Siling asked her again, based on her understanding of Bai Wei, what would Bai Wei do?
Well... Ling Sui said that Bai Wei in the fan fiction met her No. 25, but the Bai Wei played by her actually did not have a specific and clear understanding of No. 25.
The only thing Ling Suisui was sure of was that Bai Wei would not consider things from the perspective of supporting a certain point of view. What can move her is not the truth, but the conditions that are most favorable to herself. She is a calm and sober egoist.
In other words, she will not reject any possibility in life as long as it is good for her.
Yan Siling talked to her for a long time and couldn't help but express again how happy it was to work with her. Apart from Ling Suisui, is there any other actor who would spend money and effort and be so good at acting and understand the role so well? The director must have saved the galaxy in his previous life to have met such an actor.
Ling Suisui accepted all the compliments and said that she was looking forward to her new work - although she might not necessarily star in it.
The filming of "Kung Fu Master" is about to start. Before going abroad to film, Ling Suisui organized a rare social gathering.
She had three main considerations: she wanted to play board games; she hadn't kept in touch with everyone for a long time; and she wanted to arrange a venue for on-site selection and interviews for Teacher Tang Bing's new movie.
It is worth mentioning that the last one is confidential information. Because the female lead has already been confirmed to be Ling Suisui - after reading the script, she immediately forgot about her desire to rest and set a schedule to start filming next year.
However, if this matter gets out, a large number of people will come here, and it will be difficult to screen them all. Tang Bing didn't want to make such a big fuss, and preferred to observe secretly and select quietly without their knowledge.
When the teacher asked something, Ling Sui naturally did it. She invited a group of people, and Gu Size also invited a group of people. With their combined connections, the actors who met Tang Bing's requirements in all aspects and had the best acting skills were basically all present.
Ling Sui played a few rounds of board games and then went to ask Tang Bing about her intentions.
Tang Bing whispered to her, "I looked around and I still think Xiao Chen is the best partner for you. It's mainly because of the rivalry between these two characters. It requires a high level of tacit understanding between the partners. I always feel that it would be a little lacking if it were someone else."
The "Xiao Chen" she mentioned is Chen Yuening, who is also on the list of invited guests tonight.
Chen Yuening is also a student taught by Tang Bing and an actor she has worked with. When others cannot give her more surprises, Tang Bing tends to play the familiar and safe card.
Ling Suisui had a subtle expression. She and Chen Yuening had partnered on screen twice, but if you count the group assignments and various performances during their four years of college, as well as improvisations in class, the number of times they had collaborated was really too numerous to count.
But this collaboration... is actually a style that neither of them has tried before, which is a bit exciting if you think about it.
"Whatever you say is fine." Ling Suisui said she had no objection and that she would of course listen to the director on matters such as casting.
So, Chen Yuening received a project invitation from Tang Bing.
The film is tentatively named "Easy as Pie". Ling Suisui challenges herself for the first time to play two roles, an arrogant and conceited daughter of a wealthy family, and also a selfish and cowardly poor girl.
There is no blood relationship between the two girls, but they look exactly the same. The young lady, whose life was too smooth and who wanted to give herself some excitement, found out about this and proposed to exchange lives with the other party for a few months.
This kind of swapping plot has been around for a long time, but in this movie, the eldest lady's proposal for the swap was not just out of pure curiosity. Anyway, according to Ling Suisui's understanding, this character has very obvious personality defects and is not mentally normal.
If I have to describe it... Ling Sui would probably give the evaluation of "anthropomorphic creature".
The role that Tang Bing hopes Chen Yuening will play is the boyfriend of a rich family's daughter.
He knew nothing about the exchange and was surprised by the changes in his "girlfriend". He gradually fell into her teasing. After learning the truth, he fell into great pain and anger.
Chen Yuening took on the role without much thought.
He even joked with Ling Suisui: "This is so easy, don't you mean that I was easily manipulated by your two characters?"
"You're overthinking it." Ling Suisui answered sincerely, "My main storyline is not about this. You're not that important."
Chen Yuening: "...I will assume that you have already entered the role."
He then asked, "Is this your first time playing a, um... shouldn't I say villain, a character with darker human nature?"
"In terms of performance style, no."
Ling Suisui gave a very serious answer: "I previously filmed Dragon Slayer, which will be released in August this year. I can't tell you the specific plot yet, but my character has a particularly bad plot in the movie."
"I know Dragon Slayer is coming." Chen Yuening glanced at her, "That trailer is very exciting."
He was talking about the latest trailer that was released not long ago - the plot is high-energy, the fighting scenes are exciting, the special effects are excellent, and a pair of vertical dragon pupils appeared from the darkness. The texture is simply amazing. Every time you watch it, you are scared and love it, and your expectations are full.
This trailer also has a very popular animated picture, which is the kissing scene between Ling Suisui and Richard. This scene actually only flashed for one second in the trailer, but because the two people were kissing so passionately and the sexual tension was so strong, netizens exclaimed "wow", so it stayed on the hot search for most of the day.
Ling Suisui snorted and laughed, pretending not to notice the slight emotion in his words.
We will be working together on a movie next year, so don’t tease him now. Work is the most important thing.
