Chapter 29
Abide by laws and regulations and pay taxes actively
After Hao Jian asked this question, Ling Suisui first looked at Hao Ren's expression.
Hao Ren looked very surprised, then frowned.
It seems that he was not aware of this in advance and was not optimistic about it.
That's fine - although Hao Ren's attitude does not affect Ling Sui's decision, if he has a choice, Ling Sui still doesn't want to have a bad relationship with his family.
Of course, the "home" here refers specifically to her, Ling Fei, and Hao Ren, a family of three.
Ling Suisui smiled and replied: "Uncle, although we have only met a few times before, I am really touched that you still care about my career so much."
"However, I am still in college, and my teacher told me to focus on my studies. So please don't worry about my agent."
Hao Jian didn't care about her ridicule and said hastily: "Hey, you've been on that hot search, you're already a celebrity! These things need to be prepared early."
"I heard that the entertainment industry is very chaotic. If you go out to find those agents and companies, what if they cheat you? And they have to be your relatives to be truly good to you."
Well, it seems that Hao Jian will not give in easily.
Ling Suisui looked at Hao Ren and said, "Dad, working in the entertainment industry is really hard. I don't want my uncle to suffer as well."
Ling Sui's subtext is very clear - your brother, you take care of it, don't let him pick on me.
She stood up on the pretext of pouring some water and went back to her room.
Hao Ren must have been very smart to be able to climb from the grassroots to a high position. Whether he can see through Hao Jian's thoughts and whether he can get rid of him depends on whether he wants to.
If he wants to, everyone will be happy; if he doesn't want to, Ling Sui will help him change his mind.
Anyway, she has her mother's last name.
However, Ling Suisui did not expect that after sending Hao Jian away in the morning, he would welcome Ling Fei's relatives in the afternoon.
Her uncle's family was not as greedy as Hao Jian. They wanted to be her agent as soon as they opened their mouth.
However, when they proposed to let her cousin be her assistant, Ling Suisui felt helpless.
No, what misunderstanding did they have about her? She just played a minor supporting role in a drama, which is not even considered an 18th-tier actress in the domestic entertainment industry. How come they made her feel like a big star?
The most outrageous thing is that her cousin still has beautiful fantasies about the assistant position.
She thought that as long as the assistant helped her with some odd jobs, she could stay with her, get food and accommodation, and have close contact with various celebrities. Her life would be too easy.
Ling Suisui: ...
She didn't explain to them how tedious the assistant's work was and how many professional skills it required. She just asked her cousin, "Do you know Xiang Yanchu?"
Cousin: "I know, it seems to be the female star in the talent show."
Ling Suisui: "Then search for the words 'Xiang Yanchu Studio' on Weibo."
As far as she knows, Xiang Yanchu was in poor condition when she attended an event yesterday, and her makeup was not up to standard, so a marketing account published a negative news release to mock her. From last night till now, Xiang Yanchu's fans have been greeting the studio in Zaun dialect warmly, politely and friendly.
Anyway, my cousin browsed this entry for a few minutes and saw all kinds of civilized Internet terms, as well as artistic photoshopped pictures created by fans using their imagination.
Even though the person who was scolding her wasn't her, she felt more and more frightened the more she watched, and her back went cold, and she never mentioned being her assistant again.
Ling Suisui drank his tea calmly and gave her a kind smile.
Huafen are all career fans, and are best at tearing down studios. When they get angry, they will even go after the real owners. Xiang Yanchu is a female idol who debuted through a talent show. Who doesn't know that show fans are incredibly powerful?
If you don't have the ability to withstand pressure, you really can't do this job.
Of course, Ling Suisui does not approve of this behavior, but due to the information gap between the two parties, there are many things that the artists and the team cannot control, let alone explain to the outside world.
All she could do was to give more bonuses as welfare compensation when team members were scolded innocently.
After these two groups left, Ling Suisui held an impromptu family meeting during dinner time.
She solemnly told Hao Ren and Ling Fei that she had no habit of favoring people based on personal connections. If they hear again that someone else is thinking of following her, please nip it in the bud.
Ling Fei asked her, "Do you dislike relatives who have no ability, or do you not need them as long as they are related?"
Ling Suisui thought for a moment and said, "If my requirement for the ability of my staff is 100 points, I will not consider it unless there are relatives who can reach more than 120 points."
In order to make them understand the logic behind it, Ling Suisui specifically explained the reasons.
She told them: "Besides what you can all imagine, irresponsible relatives will only hinder the team and have a negative impact on my career development, it is also because the star team has too much gray income."
"Let's take the simplest example. Star autographed photos can be sold for money. If they give me a bunch of them to sign, should I agree? After they sell dozens of them and get a taste of the sweetness, will they want to sell hundreds or thousands? If I don't want to sign, they can just use my relative's name and no one will suspect that they are selling fakes."
"Also, celebrities' schedules and announcements can be used to make money. You can make money by bringing people to events or when filming. If I encounter this kind of situation, I can fire ordinary employees directly, but if it's a relative, will they think I'm making a fuss and say that this matter doesn't hurt me anyway?"
Hao Ren concluded: "You think that there are too many temptations for the job benefits around you. You are worried that some relatives, relying on their kinship, will blur the professional relationship, or develop a fluke mentality and ignore your principles and bottom line."
"Yes, that's it."
Ling Suisui believes that human nature is evil. Old employees will forget the binding force of the contract after working for a long time. If it is a relative who thinks he has a lot of face in her, it would be even more so.
Fortunately, Hao Ren and Ling Fei both understood this principle and expressed their support.
In fact, Ling Suisui still found it very strange that these relatives all thought she was a "star" just because she was on the trending search. Are they all Internet surfing experts and users of Weibo for buying houses?
After her parents explained, she realized that Hao Ren and Ling Fei were both "golden phoenixes" from their original families. As their daughter and the only heir to their property, she received special attention from both families.
Ling Fei said: "You don't have to worry about them, and don't worry about any negative public opinion about you in this area. Your father and I will take care of it."
Ling Suisui let out a long sigh of relief: "That's great, thank you, Mom and Dad."
Hao Ren: "At the same time, we will also pay attention to the company's operating conditions, always bear in mind to be a conscientious enterprise, shoulder social responsibilities, and not drag you down in terms of image and reputation."
He raised his glass and said: "I also hope that you can abide by the law, pay taxes actively, and be a sunny, healthy and positive energy idol."
Ling Suisui said seriously: "Of course."
The family of three toasted and ended the formal meeting.
Although they are not very familiar with each other, they are indeed a happy family.
**
Ling Sui's winter vacation life is very fulfilling. Except for occasionally having to deal with relatives and friends, most of the time is at her own disposal.
She learned horse riding, not only to regain the experience of filming horse riding scenes before the time travel, but also to further strengthen her skills.
Before, she could only ensure that she did not shake while sitting on the horse and could control the horse to stop and move. Now she wants to ride faster and more steadily so that the real-life circus can be filmed better.
The system asked her: [Host, have you received a role that involves horse riding? 】
Ling Sui’s answer was of course no, but she also said: “If you wait until the role appears before practicing, it will definitely be too late. 】
Being an actor is a magical profession, it is like a blind box without a reference pattern. You never know what kind of role will appear next and what skills of yours will be required.
Therefore, it is always a good idea to be more prepared. Even if you don't guess the question correctly, it's always good to have more skills.
In this year's Spring Festival Gala, Ling Sui also saw Xiang Yanchu.
She appeared in a hodgepodge song and dance show, with four groups performing in a five-minute song, and she had about three seconds of solo footage.
When Xiang Yan first appeared, Wen Jiayan was chattering in the dormitory group and taking various short videos of watching TV.
Wen Jiayan really envied Xiang Yanchu. In her heart, only very, very famous stars can perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage. This is not just a simple performance, but a special honor.
Xiang Yanchu was broadcasting live on the stage, and Ling Suisui was the only one responding to her in the group.
[Wen Jiayan: @Xia Tian, are you watching TV? ]
Xia Tian didn't reply. Half an hour later, she popped up in the group.
[Xia Tian: I’m filming on the set. ]
Wen Jiayan asked many question marks in a row. She only knew that Ling Sui filmed Ding Feng Bo during the winter vacation, but was he filming even in the summer?
So...she is the only one in the dormitory who is not a staff member in the entertainment industry?
She asked Xia Tian what he was filming, but Xia Tian did not respond. Maybe he was too busy.
Ling Sui received Happy New Year messages from many people. She did not favor one over the other and basically used the same template and changed the words in her replies.
By the way...I also want to wish a happy new year to the teachers.
She opened the address book list and copied the New Year's greetings she had thought of a few days in advance one by one from the list.
The replies from other teachers were basically thank you, happy new year, academic success, etc. After receiving her New Year greetings, Tang Bing assigned her homework and asked her to write a review report on several skits in the Spring Festival Gala.
[Tang Bing: The report should analyze its lines and plot design, combine the actors' performance skills and audience feedback, and deeply analyze the highlights and shortcomings of the work. Submit it to me at the beginning of the school year. ]
Ling Suisui: ...
Okay, let’s take a break from playing with the phone. Now she is going to collect audience opinions on various platforms.
When the spring semester started and Ling Sui returned to the Film Academy, she gave Tang Bing not only an analysis of the Spring Festival Gala skits, but also a review report on her filming of "Ding Feng Bo".
Tang Bing flipped through a few pages and took a look. The content inside could be regarded as Ling Sui's diary. She recorded her performance status by date and show, what was her comfort zone, what parts she needed to focus on practicing, and gave detailed examples of certain actions and lines.
In addition, she also compared the different acting techniques used in school stage play performances and film and television shootings, and analyzed how she could integrate them and better put the knowledge she learned into practice.
Tang Bing was very satisfied. She said, "Ge Kun and I knew each other before. After knowing that you were my student, he was full of praise for you."
Ling Suisui replied: "He said that because he saw that I was still a newcomer. Compared with the seniors in the film and television industry, I still have a lot of room for improvement."
Tang Bing smiled. This child is always so humble.
To be honest, when Tang Bing learned about Ling Sui's acting skills and her ability to kill people in "Ding Feng Bo", she was proud of her but also a little worried.
Well... to put it bluntly, she was afraid that Ling Suisui's vision would be lowered and he would embark on the path of pride and complacency.
After all, she is still so young, and Tang Bing would not find it strange if she was in a carefree mood.
But Ling Sui's performance exceeded her expectations. What made her most gratified was not how well she acted, which was a normal performance for Ling Suisui; but that even in such an environment, she still maintained a humble and self-reflective attitude, never belittling her co-actors, and only analyzing how she could do better.
Tang Bing accepted her two reports and said that he would read them as soon as possible and give her feedback.
She took out the key, opened the locked cabinet, and took out a stack of scripts with watermarks all over the screen.
Tang Bing pulled out a few loose-leaf pages and handed them to Ling Suisui.
"The modern drama I told you about before is about to start casting. There are two important female supporting roles in this drama, and both of them are high school students. I think one of them is very suitable for you."
Ling Suisui first turned to the character introduction page, and she saw that the character’s name was... Zhang Zihan.
Teacher, it turns out that my child Zi Han is already in the third year of high school and will be taking the college entrance examination soon.
