Chapter 177
Three dramas, three nominations, three runner-ups
At the end of June, Ling Sui appeared at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony.
She greeted her friends in the waiting area, and the five main actors of Freedom House got together and took a rare group photo.
As the most popular sitcom in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years, the long tail of the Freedom House series is better than the creators imagined. This year, several of Aoqi's dramas have failed, and the regular player on the popularity list is actually the Freedom Trilogy.
All successful sitcoms provide pension reimbursement for the actors, but at present, it seems that Aoqi Video is the first to enjoy this benefit.
After the greetings, Ling Suisui asked Song Lingshan: "Why didn't Zhu Yue come?"
"Freedom House 3" was nominated for the Best TV Series of the Year. As one of the leading actors in the ensemble cast, Zhu Yue is 100% qualified to walk the red carpet, unlike some supporting actors who would be criticized for "loving to freeload".
"I don't know. She has been very quiet recently and doesn't post much on social media."
There are only three possibilities if an actor suddenly disappears. Further study, keep a low profile when you have a big opportunity, or prepare to retire.
Ling Suisui didn't know which type of person Zhu Yue was. Their relationship wasn't close enough for her to ask her questions without reservation. And it probably wasn't necessary to ask "How have you been lately?", so she just waited and saw. If she needs help, she is an adult and can speak up.
Several leading actors exchanged their recent status with each other and agreed to help promote each other's upcoming works. Ling Suisui didn't hesitate to send them the peach blossom promotional copy prepared by the studio, and asked friends to help forward it on Weibo in a few days.
Bian Yuanzhou laughed and said, "You guys have such a big publicity spree. I was watching Douzi yesterday and saw the trailer for Peach Blossom. I watched it twice more, and all the movies recommended to me afterwards were about Xu Fangfei."
He clicked on the topic details page and saw that the video views under the topic #桃花炽炽# had accumulated 900 million views! Many works that are touted as "hit dramas" do not have such statistics after their hot period.
"It means that big data knows that you like to watch it, and it also knows that you like to watch Xu Fangfei alone."
Chen Lin winked at the side, "All the ones I saw were about couples. Sister Sui, the part where you and Zhou Cishuo were fighting and pulling each other's hair was so funny."
Well... for Ling Suisui, who is often known for his handsome fighting scenes, it is also a test of his sense of conviction to film the childishness of elementary school students fighting each other.
Ling Suisui: "Excuse me, it will be aired next week after all, and Aoqi has invested a lot of resources in promotion. As long as the videos you usually watch are related to domestic dramas, they should be pushed."
"You guys should all be watching this with a secondary account, right? Please give me a thumbs up if you see it. Thank you."
"You don't need a few of us." Bian Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows. "The video pinned on Taohua's official Douban has 5 million likes. Xu Fangfei looked back and smiled. She is really attractive."
"Hey, there's no such thing as too many likes. I'll also like it when I see your drama promotion video."
A few people chatted and laughed, and after walking the red carpet, they sat down in the backstage area.
To be honest, Song Lingshan is quite envious of Ling Sui. Compared with the publicity treatment of "Peach Blossom", the other S+ are weak.
However, she also bears a lot of pressure. Everyone can see the huge fanfare for Peach Blossom. Some have said that if the show doesn't make more than 80 million per episode, it will be a flop and not worth the marketing costs.
With an average of 80 million per episode, these people are quite bold in their thinking.
You should know that last year's top-ranked online drama in terms of viewership was "The Game Is Online", with an average of 150 million views per episode, which raised the standard for a "phenomenal hit". The second-ranked drama usually likes to boast that it is "second only to the game" to raise its profile, but it turns out that the average views of its popular episodes were only over 60 million, less than half of the game.
If Song Lingshan really had to make the choice, she would rather not have such a big publicity spree. She currently does not have as strong a mentality as Ling Sui, who can still chat and laugh in the conference hall under such high pressure.
If it were her, she would have been worried to death.
There was no need to wear microphones at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony. Ling Suisui and Song Lingshan covered their mouths with their hands and talked about "Under the Wave".
At present, Inspur has scheduled the filming to start in November. Ling Sui plays the female protagonist Li Xiang, who started her own business by setting up a street stall after the reform and opening up. Song Lingshan plays her younger sister Li Li. Her sister paid for her studies, but after she was admitted to university, she wanted to marry a rich man.
Song Lingshan: "I feel like my character will be criticized badly. My blood pressure is already rising."
"The TV version has made some major adjustments to this character."
Ling Suisui told her: "In the original novel, Li Li is a stereotypical villain. She is unhappy when Li lives a good life and thinks that if she finds a rich man, she can surpass her sister. This is a typical case of setting a position first and then designing the behavior. Li Li is not so competitive with other people, but she shows her villain characteristics when she is in front of the protagonist. The author was lazy when writing her."
"Editor Tang changed Li Li's mental journey, changing it to a story where Li Li saw how hard Li Xiang worked to make money, and then saw how generous the rich young man was to his girlfriend. Under these two strong contrasts, she was tempted by the life of luxury and unearned gain."
"Li Li thought her beauty would be her weapon and that she could win the young man's heart, but he didn't take her seriously at all."
Song Lingshan understood that after the adaptation, Li Li's behavior was still stupid, but at least it was logical.
Li Xiang was willing to support her studies, which showed that the two sisters had a good relationship. However, Li Li started to be jealous of her sister when she went to college, which showed that the author ruined the character of the supporting character later on.
Song Lingshan: "What about the three newcomers in your company? What roles do they play?"
"It's not decided yet, we'll see when the time comes."
Speaking of this, Ling Suisui felt a little helpless. She asked Song Lingshan: "How long does it take for the newly signed actors in your company to adjust to their current state?"
Ling Sui spent many years as a celebrity before she made her own mark, and she is no longer in her novice period. As for her friends...
Take Song Lingshan next to her as an example. They are the type with strong resources and background. Their starting point for debut is much higher than others, and their mentality is completely different. We can only ask the artists in the same company as them.
Song Lingshan scratched her head. "It's hard to say. I haven't made any special observations. But some actors are always very motivated, while some actors become lazy and do whatever the company asks them to do. They also develop a lot of side jobs. Some people earn much more from their side jobs than as actors."
After all, 208w refers to stars who are well-known to the public, but in a play, apart from the leading actors, the largest number of people are of course the supporting roles.
She observed Ling Sui's expression and said, "Someone didn't keep up with the pace? That's normal. Think about it, how many new people are signed by domestic film and television companies every year, but the number of those who can stand out every year can be counted on one hand."
Ling Suisui also knows this truth. Even big companies cannot guarantee that all newcomers will become popular, let alone Fengshou Media.
She sighed, "Do you remember the short video blogger I sent you before? Tian Tian is really good at Douzi. After changing to a new environment and a new identity, her acting skills have deteriorated sharply. Now she herself is shaken."
Ling Suisui and Tong Xiaoman discussed this matter. Tong Xiaoman said she would continue to pay attention but would not interfere too much. If Tian Tian can do it, it's fine. If not, forget it.
Sister Tong thinks differently from her. Ling Suisui thinks that the person should be rescued if necessary, but Tong Xiaoman says that if one cannot handle such a small matter on his own, it means that he is not suitable for the entertainment industry.
If a small boat encounters small winds and waves, it should turn back so that it can return to the shore safely and not be swallowed up by the tsunami. They let go in time, actually protecting her.
Ling Sui's mentality is strong enough, but that doesn't mean everyone is like her. Many of her friends cannot do without the intervention and counseling of psychologists, and some even take related medications for a long time.
Song Lingshan shrugged. In her heart, she supported Tong Xiaoman's point of view, but this was Fengshou Media's business, and the two bosses had discussed it, so there was no need for her to express her opinion.
She changed the subject: "Sui Sui, you want to win the Magnolia Award this time, the difficulty is hell level."
"…These are all internet memes."
However, Ling Suisui was mentally prepared to be a runner-up.
Who could blame this year's five nominees for Best Actress, who are all from Shanghai, graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, have a staff at the Shanghai Arts Institute, filmed a story about Shanghai, and has nothing to do with Shanghai?
What's more, she was carrying the debuff of being "too young", and almost every time there was an age gap of more than ten years between her and the other nominees, which made Ling Suisui feel helpless.
Song Lingshan comforted her: "It's okay. You have already defeated 99% of your peers in terms of nominations. There is also the Golden Eagle Awards this year. Your Shi Zhen still has a chance. The Golden Eagle Awards rarely limit the age of actors."
All Ling Sui needs now is her first mainstream Best Actress award. With a good start, the following awards will come in abundance.
The reason why she emphasizes mainstream is that she has won five or six "Best Actress" awards. She really didn't have time to attend some of the award ceremonies, so her agent accepted the awards on her behalf.
It's still a little lacking in strength.
She has already achieved the goal of "being promoted by others" in the face of many small awards - even if she did not go in person, it is actually quite disrespectful, but as long as the award is not given to her, it will be a loss for the organizing committee, and there will be no second answer for the winner.
If she had such influence on Bai Yulan, then she wouldn't care about the content and age. In the face of absolute advantage, any "invisible bonus" would be useless.
Unfortunately, she hasn't grown to this point yet.
Ling Suisui sat in the audience and applauded the winners of this year's Magnolia TV Awards.
No matter what her mentality is, the female stars born between 85 and 05 should still be able to sleep well tonight.
The fact that Ling Suisui's three Freedom House films were nominated three times has once again become a hot topic, overshadowing the actual winners. The topic is bound to have black fans jumping up and down, and Ling Suisui has long been accustomed to this kind of bloody situation.
Sui Si's response was also very skillful. He laid out a one-stop Amway program and ignored any "non-Shanghai-related" matters. Who knows whether there are human beings or ghosts behind these people? Anyway, Suisui is still so young, and it’s not like she won’t see the sun tomorrow if she doesn’t win the award.
If you really care about Ling Suisui, then come and make a reservation for "Peach Blossom Burning", it will be online on Aoqi next week!
Thanks to the Magnolia Awards, although Ling Sui was not given a trophy, it was able to increase the attention of her soon-to-be-aired work, so her trip was worthwhile.
Ochi almost went all in for the show, and its first round of broadcast on Friday night did not disappoint the platform.
"Peach Blossom" was launched at 7 o'clock, with two episodes on the first day, and members can watch four more episodes. When netizens who are keen on statistical data clicked on the first episode, they were a little shocked.
The first episode was watched by 1.2 million people... This level is definitely a huge hit and there is a good chance that it will break Ochi's historical record!
