Chapter 81
Decathlon King Ling Suisui
In early November, Ling Suisui completed the leave procedures with the school and flew to the filming location of "Freedom House".
It was not until the start of filming that the project finally announced the cast on various platforms.
Although Yin Mingcheng's representative works are well-known, considering that many of his subsequent dramas have failed and he seems to have run out of ideas, and that "Freedom House" is only rated as an A-level drama, people soon mocked Ling Suisui for being "falsely famous."
What about popularity, national fame...the reputation is so loud, but the resources are just like this?
Ling Sui is used to it. This is a routine operation to mess with her and her fans.
Before the show aired, people in the industry were critical of her and said she couldn't get good resources, but if "Freedom House" became a hit, these people would immediately change their tune and say she is a top-notch resource actress, because this is a big production directed by a well-known director.
If she cared about their opinions, then she was even breathing wrong.
"Freedom House" did not have a grand opening ceremony, it just simply bowed to the gods before officially starting filming.
However, the first scene that Ling Suisui filmed today was added at the last minute.
The director said that in order to help her liberate her nature and better integrate into the comedy creation atmosphere, he added a scene where she dances in the living room with a scarf on and is caught by Qian Tu.
This sounds reasonable, but in fact, it was because the crew took on a new advertisement temporarily, and the brand sent people to the scene on the day of the start of filming, so the director asked the actors to finish the filming on the same day so that they could accept it...
Yin Mingcheng came over to explain the play: "You can express yourself freely in this part. Put this long scarf on yourself, imagine that you are various characters, and then dance and sing at the same time. You must be immersed and addicted to the atmosphere."
Ling Suisui understood. Isn’t this the feeling of using bed sheets to cosplay White Snake when she was a child?
As for singing and dancing at the same time, you should probably imagine that you are a fairy-tale princess with a spotlight following you.
Yin Mingcheng also said: "Can you sing an off-tune version? That would be funnier."
Ah, out of tune?
This puts Ling Sui in a difficult position. They have taken vocal lessons in the performing arts department. Even if they cannot be called professional singers, they are still better than ordinary people who have not received training.
It's okay if you ask her to sing well, but if you ask her to sing out of tune...how should she sing out of tune?
Moreover, the song designated by Yin Mingcheng was a well-known children's song, the kind that would be formed into muscle memory as soon as you started singing it.
Ling Suisui practiced the lyrics several times before he finally figured out a version that sounded strange.
She quickly sang it again and took out her cell phone to record it. When playing it repeatedly, Ling Sui himself felt that it was a bit damaging to his ears.
This brings up a new problem: if it’s too deliberate, it won’t be funny anymore. What should we do?
Due to limited funds and the relatively small status of the actors, "Freedom House" did not have a separate actor's lounge. The six leading actors shared a spacious space.
Bian Yuanzhou strategically picked up the water glass, took a sip, and put it down again. He took another sip and put it down again.
assistant:……
What happened to him today? It's a bit weird, take another look.
In fact, Bian Yuanzhou was thinking in his heart, he was sitting next to them, and the sound of the water cup being put down was so loud, could Ling Sui really not hear it at all?
If you encounter a difficult problem, why don’t you come to discuss it with him, the “comedy senior”? He is sitting right here!
Bian Yuanzhou wanted to break the ice with Ling Suisui. After all, they would be working together for the next few months, but he didn't want to take the initiative to speak.
According to his thinking, Ling Suisui should bow his head first, and then he would have a way out, and everyone would be happy.
However, Ling Suisui did not follow his plan at all.
She sang the nursery rhyme over and over again, and a better way to deal with the situation came to her mind.
She told Yin Mingcheng, "I can try to drag out the notes, then slowly go up to the high notes. When I reach the highest point, I will turn around and look Qian Tu in the eye, and then my singing will stop abruptly."
"Director, I thought I could spin around, and then I saw him coming, and I lost my balance and fell."
After listening to her out-of-tune version of the nursery rhyme, Yin Mingcheng agreed with the first point she made.
There is no other way. The comedic effect of tone-deafness also requires innate talent. Ling Sui's foundation is too good and this song is too popular, so she can't create that feeling.
As for the wrestling she mentioned… "When the time comes, do one normally, and one by wrestling. We'll see which way is more natural."
Before Bian Yuanzhou could consider whether to take the initiative to talk to Ling Suisui, the matter had already been resolved by her.
Bian Yuanzhou felt mixed emotions. It turned out that he was no longer needed...
The first shot is the version where Sun Jiayi turns around and stands still after seeing him. Bian Yuanzhou is waiting outside the door. From this angle, Ling Suisui's actions in the room can also be clearly seen.
She treated the scarf as a silk scarf commonly used for taking photos in scenic spots. While posing in various ways, she also sang and danced in front of the sofa, waved her hands in various ways, and interacted with the tissue box and remote control on the coffee table.
Ling Suisui: Solo concert show time!
It must be said that this is indeed quite liberating, and Director Yin did not fool her.
At least after going crazy, her mental state was much better.
Ling Sui shot this scene three times. Looking at her back, Bian Yuanzhou could feel that her movements were getting bigger and bigger each time.
Although we can't see her face, but judging from the fact that the cameraman on the opposite side could hardly hold back his laughter... she has probably completely given up on her image as an idol and her facial expression management.
The most rare thing is that even when the cameramen around her were laughing, Ling Suisui was still able to continue acting - if she had made any mistakes, the director would have stopped her long ago.
After receiving the assistant director's gesture, Bian Yuanzhou took two steps forward into the frame, and Ling Suisui's long drawn-out voice gradually rose.
The first shot was a long one-shot from the sofa's perspective, and it didn't switch to a close-up of the camera behind Bian Yuanzhou until Ling Sui turned around.
A little bit of his back is in the shot, but this angle mainly captures Ling Suisui with his mouth wide open, looking stunned.
Ling Sui performed very well. Bian Yuanzhou was standing opposite her and saw the entire process of her facial expression changing in an instant.
It is a human instinct to widen one's eyes, and while her mouth shape remained unchanged as she was producing the high-pitched sound, her expression quickly changed from intoxicated to embarrassed, and her eyes were still wandering around helplessly.
Just by looking at her expression of despair, one can already feel how hopeless she is at the moment and how much she wants to escape to another planet to live.
After standing there for a while, Ling Suisui put down the hand that was holding the scarf.
This is a continuous scene. She scratched her head stiffly and laughed dryly: "I...I..."
She showed an embarrassed expression, and suddenly said seriously: "If I said that I am Sun Jiayi's twin sister Sun Yijia, would you believe it?"
In just a few seconds, Ling Suisui's expression changed twice in succession.
When it comes to the ability to control facial expressions, everyone who sees it will express admiration.
Bian Yuanzhou first made a speechless expression, then said: "How could you not be Sun Jiayi to come up with such a ridiculous excuse?"
The director stopped him from saying this and told him to look Sun Jiayi up and down when he said this.
Fortunately, it’s not a big problem to stop here, as Ling Suisui’s previous scenes have already been passed.
If they want to continue filming, they just need to start again from this line of his.
It is normal for actors to do NGs. While the cameraman was adjusting the camera position, Ling Suisui read the script again.
Bian Yuanzhou felt mixed emotions. He knew very well that he was distracted and forgot the movements because he was attracted by Ling Suisui's performance.
Not only did he forget to look at her, but even the rhythm of his lines was problematic... Was he paying too much attention to her?
Although he knew in his heart that this shouldn't happen, the fact was that after the Supernova Games, every time Bian Yuanzhou saw the three words "Ling Suisui" on the Internet, an inexplicable emotion would arise in his heart, and even his heartbeat and breathing would be a few beats faster than usual.
More importantly, he always dreamed of her 10.9 rings and her proud and high-spirited smile.
Bian Yuanzhou reflected in his heart, it was just a variety show where celebrities played around with each other, why was he so obsessed with such a small matter, this was not right.
After hesitating for a long time, Bian Yuanzhou decided to take the initiative to talk to her.
Even if it was for the purpose of "desensitization", he couldn't let her become his inner demon and nightmare anymore!
Bian Yuanzhou came close to her, thought for a long time, and finally said, "You performed very well just now."
"Thanks."
Ling Suisui smiled at him politely, then pointed at the script and said, "I asked you to keep the following paragraph secret. This is the scene from episode 19. Do you think there is any ambiguity between Sun Jiayi and Qian Tu at this time? How should we act it out?"
Bian Yuanzhou: ...
Is it true that there was no private chat at all and they went straight into work mode? This makes his thoughts even more ridiculous.
However, Bian Yuanzhou still cooperated and recalled the content before episode 19 in his mind, and then gave the answer "Qian Tu likes Sun Jiayi and doesn't even know it."
As an actor, this level of professionalism is necessary.
Ling Suisui nodded to show that he understood, and then continued to discuss the details of the body movements with him.
After this version was filmed, the effect was already pretty good. However, Ling Suisui was still thinking about her suggestion about wrestling, so she asked Bian Yuanzhou to cooperate with him on another one.
Bian Yuanzhou: "It's fine for me, but you have to really fall here, right?"
You can't use a stand-in for an entire continuous long shot.
"I must have really fallen." Ling Suisui said, "And we were a little far apart, you couldn't come to help me."
Even though the crew had an action director, Ling Suisui still fell hard four or five times. Just by hearing the sound, Bian Yuanzhou, who had relevant experience, knew that her knee must be very painful, but she didn't say a word.
He didn't expect that Ling Suisui had taken the initiative to ask the director for this thankless role...
Moreover, if the wrestling version is finally used, then her previous wonderful face-changing cannot be used;
But if the previous version was used, wouldn’t her falling on the ground be in vain?
She is really... Bian Yuanzhou felt that he had never seen anyone like Ling Suisui.
Ling Suisui, who muted the system during the filming, did not receive the notification that [Bian Yuanzhou]'s favorability had increased to 70.
Even if she heard it, she wouldn't care, after all, she didn't even have time to think about her knee pain.
The crew was under tight schedule, so Yin Mingcheng agreed to shoot two versions for her, but each version couldn't be too long. If she doesn't perform well, then it's gone.
Ling Suisui is not afraid of hard work or fatigue. She also hopes that through "Freedom House", more directors and producers will see her strength.
This is her first drama as the leading role, and she is ranked second. If she doesn’t work hard, who will?
She not only competed for lines and acting skills in the crew, but even when she needed to shoot a scene of making pancakes, Ling Sui-sui said:
"No need to switch lenses to find a stand-in. The picture won't be smooth. I can make pancakes."
In front of the camera, Ling Suisui skillfully used a target to push the cornmeal batter and beat an egg.
——When she learned that she was going to shoot this scene, she deliberately watched the tutorial on the Internet and practiced in the system's internal space for half an hour. She learned it easily.
She turned the pancake over and said, "Nothing else, just eggs and thin, authentic pancakes. Anyone want one?"
Colleagues on the crew raised their hands one after another. Ling Suisui gave the hand to Han Cheng, who was closest to her, and the camera of the behind-the-scenes camera also turned to him.
Han Cheng took a big bite and praised as he ate: "Sui Sui, your cooking skills are amazing. It tastes better than the ones you buy with money."
This is indeed not an exaggeration. The aroma of the pancake alone arouses everyone's appetite.
Song Lingshan admired him very much: "Sui Sui, how many surprises do you have that we don't know about?"
When everyone thought about it carefully, it seemed that from the time they heard her name until now, they had not seen any shortcomings in her.
Damn it, what kind of terrifying decathlon champion is Ling Suisui?
