Chapter 45
Everyone performed very well tonight.
The conversation was not quite what Tong Xiaoman had imagined.
Before she came, she thought it would be an interview and test for newcomers, so she spoke with an attitude of superiority;
But to her surprise, although Ling Sui was polite and courteous to her "golden thigh" and even used honorifics, he actually did not look up to her much. Instead, he looked at her calmly.
When they talked about the latest developments in the industry and the career plans of female stars, Ling Suisui's attitude did not seem like she wanted to ask for advice.
She was calm, composed, and her logic was clear and organized, which made Tong Xiaoman deeply aware that they were communicating on an equal footing.
At the end of the conversation, she asked Ling Suisui:
"The you I saw today is somewhat different from what Feng Guang described to me. Is your personality so multifaceted, or do you adjust it according to the person you are with?"
"Or do you think this will get my attention?"
As expected of a famous agent, Ling Suisui thought.
Even at this point, she had not forgotten to regain the dominant position and cover up the previous impression in the final round.
Ling Suisui replied: "In front of the teacher, I am a student. In front of you, we are business partners who have been chosen by both sides."
"The sincere side of my character has never changed, it's just that I should say different things in different identities."
Tong Xiaoman was a little amused and confused. She put emphasis on the word "two-way". This child really didn't want to suffer any loss.
She simply asked her: "You speak so bluntly, aren't you afraid of offending me?"
Ling Suisui smiled: "How could a truly powerful knight be afraid of sharp weapons and worry about hurting his hands?"
The confrontation has already taken place, and each other's bottom line has been almost figured out.
Tong Xiaoman was very satisfied with Ling Suisui, but she still said, "There are still some procedural issues on the contract that Dashu Media and I have not completed. In addition, your ambitions are a bit too big, so I need to think carefully before I can give you an answer."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry." Ling Suisui replied, "In the meantime, you can also take a look at other newcomers."
Tong Xiaoman raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that I will not want you anymore if I see a better candidate?"
——Having said that, Ling Suisui is really not afraid.
In fact, she asked the other party to choose more, see more and understand more in order to raise her own value. After watching the film, Tong Xiaoman will understand that among the young actresses of the same period, or even among actors of the same age regardless of gender, there is no one with better conditions than her.
She has both good looks and acting skills, is a professional actor, and is Tang Bing's favorite disciple. It is no exaggeration to say that this identity can give her a business card to blend into the second-generation circle.
Ling Suisui admitted that Tong Xiaoman is an agent with very strong professional capabilities, but she, Ling Suisui, has the potential to become a superstar, which is also a precious opportunity for many agents.
The position of agent is the most special in her studio. Strictly speaking, agents are not her employees, but her business partners.
Since they are going to be partners, the momentum of both parties must be equal. Ling Suisui has never forgotten her original intention and goal of taking control of her career.
Ling Sui responded with a smile, saying everything without words.
She believed that Tong Xiaoman, who also had great ambitions, would definitely come back to find her.
**
As night fell, Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening came out of the RV respectively.
Ying Nian also walked out with Ling Suisui - after all, the crew couldn't arrange a motorhome for the guest actors, but given Ying Nian's status, it was impossible for them to just move a small stool and let him sit down.
So, he said he was here to visit his friend, so let him and his friend stay in the same car.
While in the car, Ying Nian had already rehearsed his lines with Ling Suisui.
The delivery man doesn't have many lines, just a few complaints, and this character was actually created to create laughs in this episode.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Ying."
Ling Suisui first said to him politely: "You might get very tired if you keep switching scenes."
Ying Nian waved his hand: "This is nothing. We were a hundred times more tired when filming war scenes. And I was following the machine, actually walking. You guys are the ones running inside who are having a hard time."
He called his assistant and took a photo with Ling Suisui, who was wearing a school uniform.
"When the Golden List is broadcast, I will help you promote it."
"Okay." Ling Suisui said seriously, "When Ding Feng Bo is broadcast, I will also help you promote it."
The two smiled at each other, and Chen Yuening next to them was so jealous that he was bubbling with jealousy.
While looking for topics to talk, he tried to squeeze in between Ling Suisui and Yingnian.
Chen Yuening: "Thank you, Mr. Ying, for visiting us. Let's take a few more photos."
Year: ...
Yingnian pointed out: "Sui Sui is a girl, isn't it better to let her stand in the middle?"
Chen Yuening also thought of this, but he didn't want to get out of the way right now.
When the two of them looked at each other with malicious eyes again, Ling Suisui silently took a few steps back.
She took out her cell phone and took a photo of them.
Well, yes, the look between the two is quite dramatic.
Wait until she goes back to adjust the composition, and then adjust some parameters and filters, and she can make a great CP picture (crossed out
There were only three actors shooting this scene today.
As for Li Yuhua who was patrolling the area, since there was no shot of her and the two students, and the night view of the campus would not change significantly, Tang Bing finished shooting this scene while shooting other night scenes a few days ago.
The director came up to talk about the play: "We have enough machines today. In order to improve efficiency, we will split the filming into two groups later."
"Ying Nian, you act outside and answer the phone, while Chen Yuening and Ling Suisui act inside and make the phone call. You can shoot together when you get the takeaway. Be careful not to make mistakes in your lines, otherwise you won't be able to connect with the show."
...Okay, so it's grouping, not interactive shooting.
Yingnian felt a little regretful because the timing of his visit to the set was wrong. He finally got the chance to work with Suisui again as a guest star and just happened to catch this scene.
But no matter what, out of his professionalism as an actor and because he wanted to leave a good impression on Ling Suisui, Ying Nian actively cooperated with the director's arrangements and took the props to the filming location.
On the other side, Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening also walked down from the stairs. Tonight’s scene would start filming from here.
He walked in front and she followed behind, moving slowly and her hands holding the railing seemed hesitant.
She asked: "The class is still in evening study, will we really not be discovered?"
"Of course not. Just rest assured."
He said confidently: "Today is Sunday. Mr. Huang from our class has asked for leave. The other teachers are all in their respective classes. No one will check."
In the surveillance camera, Zhang Zihan's face was full of confusion. She wanted to say something several times but stopped herself, but continued to go downstairs under Xue Yuchen's urging.
When the camera takes a close-up shot of his expression, Ling Suisui's reactions vary in several levels.
First there was the fear of being caught by the teacher, then repeated flashes of hesitation, mixed with the excitement of "not following the rules".
Although her gaze was wandering, her eyes conveyed a positive signal, indicating that she was willing to follow Xue Yuchen downstairs at this moment.
Doing something that violated school rules made her feel very nervous, yet she was so excited that she couldn't resist.
Although the director nodded, he still asked her to do it again.
Less than a month after filming began, Director Zhang had already raised his expectations of Ling Sui.
After all, Ling Sui's strength is there, and Tang Bing also instructed that this kid should not be let off the hook. Instead, more stringent requirements should be imposed on her so that her acting skills can be gradually improved.
Ling Suisui was also very cooperative. She adjusted her mood in front of the camera and after three consecutive shots, she contributed a shot that showed her in better condition.
After she and Chen Yuening went downstairs, they originally wanted to go straight to the gap in the wall, but according to the plot, they would meet Li Yuhua who came to patrol here.
Since Tang Bing herself is not here, this part can only test their imagination.
Chen Yuening was in the front position, so when taking pictures of his surprised reaction, he was the first one to be photographed. They practiced the action of turning around and leaving several times.
The sixth time, when he grabbed her hand and ran away, the director finally gave it a pass.
After arriving at the designated location, Chen Yuening, who was exhausted, forgot to let go of Ling Suisui's hand for a moment, and the director did not call for a stop.
Ling Sui continued her speech, her eyes looking at their holding hands, and softly called his name.
"Xue Yuchen, you..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuening immediately let go of her as if he had been electrocuted, and kept saying sorry.
"Cut." The director said in front of the monitor, "That was a good segment. You two are great. You both performed in perfect harmony on the spot."
Chen Yuening was a little shy, and was embarrassed to say that he really wasn't acting in this scene...
He whispered to Ling Suisui, "In fact, it's because you react quickly and perform well."
Ling Suisui smiled slightly and did not take credit for it.
The next scene is where Xue Yuchen repeatedly adjusts the delivery location and asks the delivery man to "guerrilla warfare" with the two of them.
They were sneaking around in the basement of the teaching building, and Xue Yuchen accidentally fell. However, in order to look cool in front of Zhang Zihan, he didn't say a word.
After being praised by the director for their tacit understanding, Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening came up with an impromptu scene and added it to the live shooting.
When Zhang Zihan looked at him, Xue Yuchen remained as charming as ever, except for his tough words; when Zhang Zihan walked to the front and stopped looking at him, Xue Yuchen put on a mask of pain, covering his knees with his hands, and his expression was as painful as could be.
At this time, Zhang Zihan suddenly turned around again, and Xue Yuchen continued to pretend nothing happened and even whistled.
This impromptu scene is pretty good and the director really approves of it. Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening were just discussing whether Zhang Zihan could see that Xue Yuchen was pretending.
Both of them thought there should be, but Chen Yuening thought she would laugh, and then Xue Yuchen told her not to tell anyone, so the two of them had a common secret.
Ling Suisui thought that Zhang Zihan had seen through it, but she pretended not to know. There was a subtle eye contact between the two, which made Xue Yuchen wonder repeatedly whether she had seen it just now.
Anyway, the common goal of this episode is to gradually warm up the relationship between the two characters.
Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening were still discussing this point, while Ying Nian on the other side was still transitioning alone.
Coincidentally, from his current position, he could see both of them through the wall.
What…What are these two talking about? They are so close to each other and talking and laughing.
Ying Nian felt like he had swallowed several tons of lemons, and his heart was sour and bitter.
The camera was about to film him answering the phone. While reciting his lines, Ying Nian looked at Chen Yuening on the other side of the wall and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
The assistant in front of the monitor frowned: "Director, do we need to reshoot this scene?"
"No need." The director said with a smile, "I don't know why today is a good day, but the actors in our crew all performed very well on the spot."
According to Yingnian's character as a delivery man who almost breaks his legs every time he delivers a meal, this eye roll was just right and full of true emotion.
