Chapter 131
Freedom House 3 Completed
"Freedom House 3" was filmed for three months. When the wrap date was confirmed, several actors breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved.
After all, filming days are really tiring. But soon, everyone felt reluctant to leave.
In order to satisfy Yin Mingcheng's sense of ceremony, the producer deliberately arranged the finale of the third season on the final day. The characters leave the two apartments, and it’s also time for the actors to say goodbye to Freedom House.
On the day of filming, the actors sat around the dining table where they had eaten three seasons of meals. Under the shadow of sadness, no one was in the mood to joke around and just wanted to finish filming the scene first.
Ling Suisui had no lines in the first half of the film. She was just listening to where everyone else was going.
Zheng Jun finally passed the civil service exam and will be a regular civil servant in the future; Fang Zhi also opened a photography studio with her boyfriend; Zhou Ziqing has been a fashion blogger for many years and now runs her own clothing brand;
Li Zirui changed his career completely. Under pressure from his family, making complaining videos became just a hobby for him. He is currently taking the CPA exam and will probably be a corporate slave in the future.
There is also money to be made - he also embarked on the path of entrepreneurship and opened a design company.
Of the six former freelancers, five have ended their wandering journeys. For various reasons, they are moving away from here.
However, this is not a sad thing. They just left the community, but still live in the same city.
"Not really."
After they finished their lines, it was finally Sun Jiayi's turn.
She told everyone: "As for me, I am going to travel around the world starting today."
"Why are you looking at me? As a literary creator, it's normal for me to seek inspiration."
"I have lived in this city for more than 20 years, and everything here is too familiar to me. I want to see the majestic mountains, the sun rising over the sea, and see different scenery."
Ling Suisui put his arm around Bian Yuanzhou's shoulders and said, "Old Qian and I have agreed that he will work hard here to pursue his career, while I will go to pursue a free soul."
This line is a bit childish, and Ling Suisui laughed after he said it. Considering the current situation, this can't be considered as laughing. It would be more appropriate to say that it was an impromptu performance.
She went on to say, "Communications are so advanced now that we can meet through video calls. Maybe in a few years, we'll even have holographic technology."
Bian Yuanzhou also laughed, and the cameraman took a close-up shot of him.
The look he gave Ling Sui was full of affection. If you take a screenshot of just one frame, it would instantly kill most of the male protagonists in idol dramas.
But this kind of delicate emotional drama is actually not Bian Yuanzhou's strong point.
Before the finale, Qian Tu and Sun Jiayi have another scene of rivalry.
They looked into each other's eyes without saying who they stayed for - in their discussion the night before, Ling Suisui and Bian Yuanzhou had reached a consensus that it was Sun Jiayi's free and romantic qualities that attracted Qian Tu to approach her.
For Sun Jiayi, love is a given, but getting married and having children are all unknowns. Qian Tu has her own career, and she would rather enjoy the happiness of the present.
I have to say, the director and screenwriter are really inhumane. Even in the final season, there is room for the audience to imagine.
Bian Yuanzhou leaned over and kissed her. This was the only serious kissing scene in the entire third season, with close-ups and background music.
With three seasons of collaboration as a foundation, this kissing scene was not difficult for both actors.
At the moment their lips parted, Ling Sui's eyes flashed with tears. Bian Yuanzhou inexplicably felt that a string had grown out of his heart. He took a step back, and the string was pulled forward, causing him to feel a pain in his chest.
This scene stops here and it would be inappropriate to add more lines. Ling Suisui and Bian Yuanzhou did not improvise, they just hugged each other according to the script.
The director called for a stop and Bian Yuanzhou let go of Ling Suisui. As she walked aside to touch up her makeup, the thread in his heart was stretched longer and longer, and the pain seemed to become more and more obvious.
The last shot of "Freedom House 3" is Sun Jiayi's friends urging her at the elevator entrance, while she locks the door of the house with her key.
Ling Suisui still remembers that the first shot of "Freedom House 1" was Sun Jiayi opening the door with a key.
It starts here and ends here.
After the door was locked, the director called for a stop and said on the intercom: "It's finished!"
The scene was filled with cheers, and a photographer carrying a behind-the-scenes camera quickly stepped forward to take pictures of the main actors hugging each other.
Chen Lin also threw the super thick script up and shouted, "I don't have to memorize this thing anymore." Of course, his courage only goes so far. He would never dare to imitate the students who tear up their books after the college entrance examination, and such a thing is not worth promoting.
Everyone laughed as they watched Chen Lin pick up the script that had fallen on the ground, brush off the dust on it, and hold it in his arms again.
Each of the leading actors received a "Memorial Certificate of Collaboration" from Ochi. Since several of them had other work tomorrow, they couldn't arrange a dinner tonight and had to leave it for later.
Ling Suisui asked about the broadcast schedule, and Yin Mingcheng replied that if there were no accidents, it would still be scheduled during the summer vacation. After all, the first two seasons were broadcast during the summer vacation, and the audience has this impression.
It’s already April when the filming is wrapped up, so if it’s still summer vacation, then it must be next year.
This schedule has both advantages and disadvantages for Ling Suisui. The good side is that "Freedom House 3" will definitely be broadcast after "Game is Online".
If the game goes well, this drama will help her solidify her fan base; if the game doesn’t perform as well as expected, it can also help her make some money back.
After all, just based on the nostalgia of the first two seasons, Freedom 3 has the potential to be a hit.
As for the bad side...she has no works broadcast this year.
Not only will there be no film and television dramas, no variety shows, and no other exposure. Ling Suisui can still shoot some vlogs now, but he will have to stop after he joins the crew ahead of schedule. After all, she has to gain muscle for the role, and it would be better to save this process for after the movie is released.
In other words, she will disappear from the sight of fans and the public for most of the next six months. If they want to keep their business going, they can probably only hope that the studio will release a few sets of previous photos.
Hmm... maybe there's still stock?
Ling Suisui said goodbye to everyone while thinking about things. Although everyone felt a little sad about the separation, they didn't feel so sad when they thought that they were all in the entertainment industry and would have opportunities to meet each other often in the future.
Bian Yuanzhou watched her leave and felt that the thread in his heart was being pulled longer and longer. As the thread was peeled off layer by layer, his heart seemed to be left with only an empty shell.
Han Cheng came up to him and said, "Brother Zhou, it's already this late, why don't you confess?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Bian Yuanzhou said uncomfortably, "Go away, stop joking with me."
Han Cheng curled his lips. In his opinion, Bian Yuanzhou was good in everything. Not only was he a good actor, he was also very nice to his crewmates and he looked okay too. But just like the character he played, he was too obsessed with face!
Qian Tu was criticized by Sun Jiayi so many times, so he flirted for two seasons before confessing his love. Wasn’t Bian Yuanzhou just given up by Ling Suisui at Supernova once? It’s been almost three years since this happened, but he’s still thinking about it and will never admit that he likes her!
Although Bian Yuanzhou didn't say it, based on Han Cheng's understanding of him, it was most likely true.
Han Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, and didn't care how much waves his words stirred in Bian Yuanzhou's heart, and left on his own.
As for Bian Yuanzhou - he was thinking about this matter from day to night, and spent another sleepless night tossing and turning. He opened the chat box with Ling Suisui countless times, wanted to type something and then put it down.
When Ling Sui woke up the next day, she received a system prompt that Bian Yuanzhou's favorability towards her had reached the maximum.
Ling Suisui thought about it for a while and decided to attribute it to the gift of nature again.
She even felt that Bian Yuanzhou was quite considerate. He never mentioned anything during filming and did not let his personal feelings affect his work. He gave her points only after the filming was completed, and since they did not have to meet every day, he saved her a lot of trouble.
Very good. I hope that future potential targets can learn from him in this regard.
Ling Suisui also checked the favorability of other people. Those who had already reached the maximum value still maintained it and never dropped. As for the remaining Er Hongwen, his favorability towards her was 90, and Li Mingxu's was 99.
It was normal for Li Mingxu to have a high favorability towards her, as she gave him a lot of guidance when acting opposite him. If filming the game was considered a group assignment in college, then Li Mingxu was the member she cared about the most. In order to get an average score for the group, she gave him a lot of special treatment.
It can even be said that only with Li Mingxu did Ling Suisui feel that it was natural and proper for him to contribute full points to him.
Even if it's out of gratitude, shouldn't Li Mingxu make up for this quickly?
Ling Suisui kept this in mind and decided to find an opportunity to hint at it so that he could understand what was going on.
Li Mingxu's side is easy...but as for Er Hongwen, Ling Suisui feels that there may be no chance to increase his favorability to the maximum.
She was sure that she was not Er Hongwen's type at all. Besides, for this kind of egoist who is good at slacking off, if you want to win his favor, benefits are definitely more real than being moved.
At least, his favorability towards her could rise to ninety, all because she recommended him to act in a movie.
Well... Er Hongwen was quite happy because this director had won awards at internationally renowned film festivals. Ling Suisui just hoped that he would still be able to smile after the filming started.
The director was none other than the stream-of-consciousness creator Ling Suisui had collaborated with during the filming of “The Wind and Thunder”.
His personal style is very distinctive, and the entire shooting scene has to follow his mysterious ideas. As for whether the actors can understand what he wants, it depends on fate.
If it is filmed well, it will be a masterpiece worthy of winning awards; otherwise, it means that Er Hongwen lacks understanding and needs more practice.
Anyway, he wanted resources, and Ling Sui recommended her to him. You can't say that she is not loyal enough, right?
Just kidding, she has a very good reputation in the circle.
With Er Hongwen as an example, Ling Sui felt that the system's favorability was not limited to love. Considering it’s the sister-in-law system, the metric being measured is likely how willing the guy is to be with her, or how suitable he thinks she is as a partner.
Of course, the above is just her guess. Until she finds more examples to verify it, she can only keep it in her heart.
She signed in and put the system matters aside.
Tang Bing sent her a message, and after much discussion, the movie title was shortlisted for the final two choices.
Which one is better, "Zhao Jiang" or "The Mandate of Heaven"?
The author has something to say:
I didn't make up for it today, so let me explain to you - the author encountered a heavy rainstorm on the way home, which made him miserable. He sneezed like crazy all night. The only good news is that the backpack is waterproof and the computer is fine orz
"Zhao Jiang" and "Tian Ming Zhi Ming" are both from the reader comments of Chapter 126. I think both are pretty good! Special thanks to every little angel who left a message!
Please choose one, I will copy their messages here~
Netizen: Crescent Moon Lake water is all Yale
【Zhao Jiang】How about it? "Zhao" has always meant good moral character in ancient Chinese, such as "Fragrant and ze are mixed together, only the bright quality is still not damaged" in Chu Ci, and this character is a princess and a posthumous title. It also has the hidden meaning of "Zhao Xue", symbolizing that this movie will "clear the name" for countless women in ancient times who had talents but no opportunities, or who made achievements but were discredited; when "Jiang" is used as the first tone, in addition to the meaning of general, it also means "help", such as "Jiang Mei" (helping to accomplish good things). When it is used as the fourth tone, it means "command", and it can also be used with "Zhao" to mean commanding the women's army to clear the stigma of women. [Just providing an idea. I really like Princess Pingyang Zhao]
Netizen: Mu Jiu
"The Mandate of Heaven is Bright", after all, Princess Pingyang Zhao did not leave her name, so the word "Zhao" should be the most representative of her, "Zhao means bright sun". I happened to watch the new program of Sister Lang a few days ago and had some thoughts. One meaning of "The Mandate of Heaven is Bright" is in line with the lyrics in the song "How can a woman establish merits and be passed down, how can a demon become an immortal? A general's order shakes the mountains and rivers, my destiny is in my own hands". When I was playing a game set against the backdrop of the An-Shi Rebellion, I was left with a deep impression of a line from a female general in the plot: "Why can't women join the army?" Princess Pingyang Zhao was dressed in red makeup, facing the mirror with yellow flowers on her face, armed with armor and exuding a cold glow. In that turbulent patriarchal era, she still broke free from her shackles, stepped to the forefront of the times, and seized her own destiny. Her destiny was as bright as the sun and the moon. As for another meaning, even if the people in power wanted to cover up her existence and contributions, even if she was stripped of her military power and trapped in the harem until her death, her destiny was still clear and could not be concealed. Even if it was covered by dark clouds for a while, we, the descendants, still tirelessly dug out clues about Pingyang Zhao from the long sea of history and restored her brilliant achievements and contributions to the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
