Chapter 167
She will only become more popular
Most of "Perfect Life" focuses on Cheng Yimo's high school years, so the three new actors from Harvest Media all play high school students.
Zhao Xianning and Wen Yi play Ling Sui's classmates, Tian Tian plays her senior, who is also Cheng Yimo's "idol".
However, Tian Tian, who only received the single-character script, did not know about this setting. She thought she was just an ordinary senior in the club and only had a few scenes against Ling Suisui.
Chen Yuening's script actually contained this information. He and Ling Suisui sat on chairs and watched Tian Tian's performance through the monitor.
There were a lot of people watching, and Tian Tian was obviously a little nervous, with her body language and expression stiff. She would also subconsciously look for the direction of the camera, and was scolded by the director several times.
This is the blogger's professional habit. Even though the director curses harshly, he is used to it.
Not to mention internet celebrities, idols also have this problem when they become actors, and they have to work very hard to overcome it.
"She's so strong, nothing happened to her." Chen Yuening sighed softly, "I thought she would be scolded and cried by the director."
Ling Suisui glanced at him sideways. Did he think that the internet celebrities who emerged from the short video track would have such poor psychological quality?
No matter how strict the director is, it is for her own good, and Tian Tian definitely understands this.
If it were Zhao Xianning and Wen Yi, it would be hard to say.
It’s not that they haven’t suffered. Ling Suisui knows how difficult it is to pass the art exam, but compared to Tian Tian, who grew up in a wild way, they do lack experience.
Ling Sui sighed in her heart, it wasn’t easy to be a boss. These three newcomers were obviously not much younger than her, but she always felt like she was taking care of children.
Previously, Zhang Wen showed off her daughter in the group, and Tong Xiaoman joked about signing a child star, but Ling Suisui didn’t dare to do so.
She is so worried about taking care of a few adults. If a real child experiences something in the entertainment industry and leaves a traumatic childhood for the child, she will blame herself and regret it for the rest of her life.
Tong Xiaoman said that she was not suitable to be a boss in the entertainment industry, and Ling Suisui felt the same way.
She decided to focus on her acting career and leave other matters to Sister Tong. Tong Xiaoman's career focus will shift to the company, and Ling Sui's agency business will be taken over by Zhang Wen.
Ling Suisui flipped through the script that was about to be filmed. Although there were two people on the notice, it should not be considered a rivalry between her and Chen Yuening.
After all, she was doing her homework with her head down the whole time, and Chen Yuening passed by her several times but didn't find a chance to talk to her.
"From my perspective, this should be considered a secret crush?"
Chen Yuening was also reading the script. "From high school to the workplace, it's been twelve years. I'm the only one who discovered that my memory had been tampered with and realized that something was wrong."
This also indirectly reflects Cheng Yimo's presence and popularity - from high school to college, she didn't even have a friend who knew her life trajectory and would take these things to heart.
The 28-year-old Cheng Yimo wanted the 16-year-old girl to participate in the class leader election in order to change her obscure student days.
Deep down, she hopes to get everyone's attention and affirmation. She really needs these things to prove herself.
Ling Suisui nodded: "The setting the screenwriter gave you is quite pure love. You like someone and can keep it in your heart for twelve years. It's quite affectionate, but I think few men can do it in reality."
Chen Yuening avoided her gaze and subconsciously calculated the time from freshman year to now in his mind.
Six years, or seven years? It’s been quite a long time.
He changed the subject: "It feels like our makeup is even lighter than Jin Bang's, we hardly put on any makeup at all."
"Well, this is also Netflix's requirement."
Ling Suisui told him, "Europeans and Americans prefer realistic skin texture and feel. The soft light filters popular in domestic entertainment almost erase the facial features. I saw the rough cut of Peach Blossom a few days ago and raised this issue, so I asked them to change it."
She and Li Mingxu are both very young, and this is the time when collagen in their faces is at its fullest. Why do they need so many layers of skin resurfacing?
However, "Peach Blossom" is indeed the last ancient idol drama she filmed. On this track, she has one work which is enough.
Ling Sui took out his mobile phone to check Weibo, and saw many hot topics about Fashion Week on the trending searches. Regarding the same brand and the same show, which celebrity is treated better is the long-lasting traffic code of major marketing accounts.
Traffic comes from pulling down and criticizing others, this is the consensus on the Internet.
Chen Yuening: "If you go, your treatment will definitely beat everyone else."
After all, the "international influence" of domestic entertainment stars depends largely on the hype of fans, and Ling Suisui really has a global hit drama. When her contract expires this year, the two luxury brands she wears will definitely give her the highest title in the world, and they will be vying for it, fearing that they will be left behind.
"Maybe." Ling Sui shrugged. "Fashion Week is held twice a year. I'll go in the second half of the year or next year. It's not like it's just a temporary hit. Filming is more important."
Ling Suisui not only turned down the Fashion Week, but also declined many business and magazine shoots after the box office success of "Zhao Jiang", saying that she was too busy and would wait until she finished filming.
As for whether they still want to work together after the filming...of course they do! Who says Party A is naturally aloof? It also depends on the specific cooperation partner. People like Ling Suisui are worth waiting for, as long as they don't get overtaken by competitors.
Chen Yuening gave her a thumbs up in admiration, she was worthy of it.
Outdated? Is there a time limit for being a “top streamer”? That's not possible. She will only become more and more popular. Actors who rely on their works are so confident.
Ling Sui finished reviewing his script and looked at the monitor again. Under the director's guidance, Tian Tian has overcome the problem of subconsciously looking at the camera, but her acting is still a bit obvious, which is lower than Ling Sui's expectations of her.
She thought about it for a moment and roughly understood the problem.
Tian Tian used to be a short video blogger. Each of her videos must have a distinct personal label. She can grasp the essence of the label in a very short performance and attract netizens to watch. This is her advantage and also her limitation.
When she got a script clip with unclear characters and not enough twists and turns, she couldn't find an anchor point. She didn't know where to put her innate acting talent, and it seemed exaggerated and overdone.
Ling Suisui wrote a note in his memo that it would be best to find an acting teacher for Tian Tian so that she could systematically learn some basic acting knowledge.
It's not that she was unwilling to direct the show personally, but the shooting period of "Perfect Life" was much shorter than that of "Peach Blossom", and her role accounted for a higher proportion than the heroine of "Peach Blossom", so she really couldn't spare the time.
Moreover, if she used all the time she squeezed out to guide Tian Tian, should she take care of Zhao Xianning and Wen Yi?
Alas, Li Mingxu and Xu Han are just her friends, so it’s okay to be casual with them. But Ling Suisui has to treat these three newcomers equally. She once again feels that being a boss is not easy.
So in addition to guiding Tian Tian, it would be best if this acting teacher could also communicate with the other two and teach together.
Who should I look for... Ling Suisui went through the candidates in his mind.
She opened her address book and asked Wen Jiayan if she had time recently.
This is the best candidate in Ling Suisui's mind - Wen Jiayan is a graduate student majoring in acting, has performed in dramas for several years, and has rich theoretical and practical experience.
Moreover, she will graduate from graduate school this year. If she intends to return to the entertainment industry, coming to "Perfect Life" to help her train new people would be a good springboard and opportunity.
Wen Jiayan replied quickly, saying that she was free and willing.
Ling Suisui told Chen Yuening about this incident. Chen Yuening didn't even remember what Wen Jiayan looked like. She only remembered that he had bought yogurt for her and helped her vote.
In the past few years, there have been many talent shows, and the fate of most of the contestants is to become obscure. They want to quit the industry and change careers but are pressured by their contracts and have to engage in lengthy lawsuits with the companies.
In comparison, although Wen Jiayan, who passed the postgraduate entrance examination, has long become an amateur, judging from the circumstances of her peers, it is a good thing for her to get out of it early.
Chen Yuening: "Are you still in touch with your roommates? Pretty good. My roommates haven't talked to each other since graduation. The other three are not in the circle anymore. They usually ask me for autographed photos in private chats, saying that relatives and friends want them."
"Oh, and someone asked if I could get your autographed photo for them."
Ling Suisui was amused when he heard this: "I know all your roommates. Aren't they all classmates? Why don't you just come to me directly?"
"That's different. You're too famous now. People feel distant from you."
Is that so? Ling Sui felt quite regretful.
At the graduation ceremony, everyone shed tears of true emotion for the separation. In less than three years, most people have already drifted apart.
