Chapter 153
Her luck in getting roles has surpassed 99% of the actresses in the domestic entertainment industry.
In August, Hengdian is still very hot.
Ling Sui looked at the 44-degree temperature displayed on his phone and felt like he was in a huge furnace. The weather was too hot, and everyone in the crew seemed restless. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and it seemed that the barrel of explosives would be ignited by just a spark.
Even in such hot weather, the leading actors still have to wear thick winter clothes to film.
Out of professionalism, Ling Suisui can overcome all difficulties, but that does not mean she agrees that the hardship is meaningful.
Qi Xiaoqing complained: "What kind of coordinator did Aoqi hire? Is his head full of water? Shooting winter scenes in summer, what are we going to shoot in November?"
If this drama had many exterior scenes and many sets, and the scenes had to follow the locations, there would be nothing that could be done about it. However, most of the scenes in Peach Blossoms are set in the palace compound. What was the reason for shooting against the season? It’s not like we can’t wait until the weather cools down.
Ling Suisui picked up the cool tea brought by the crew and took a big gulp.
She told Xiaoqing, "I heard that this tea is a secret recipe that the crew found specially."
"Yes." Qi Xiaoqing answered casually, "It seems that some good medicinal materials are used. After drinking it, the whole body will feel comfortable..."
Ling Suisui smiled and said, “Isn’t it just Guangdong herbal tea?” It’s not like she hasn’t drunk before.
She pointedly asked, "How much do you think the herbal tea with a [secret recipe] would cost on the crew's bill?"
Qi Xiaoqing opened her eyes wide, feeling the beauty of an ignorant college student who was suddenly beaten by society.
"Silly girl." Ling Suisui told her gently, "The coordinator is not stupid, he is very smart. Otherwise, why do you think it takes more than four months to shoot a puppet show?"
When shooting winter scenes in hot weather, the standards of logistical support can be reasonably improved a lot. Herbal tea for the actors, newly equipped fans and air conditioners, and even high temperature subsidies for the entire crew... As long as you are brave enough, there are so many things you can do.
After the game became a big hit, Taohua's rating rose from A+ to S+, but after the lead actors' salaries, shooting locations, actors' costumes and props, etc. have been decided, where can the additional investment funds be spent? Will it all be used for publicity and promotion?
Fortunately, this is Ochi's own drama, and all they do is just put the money into their left pocket and into their right pocket. If it involves more complicated capital flows, Ling Sui would run away immediately even at the risk of breach of contract - what if someone gives her a high kickback and increases her pay several times?
Ling Sui would never accept this kind of money. She is a good young person with a good family background and will not joke about her future.
Qi Xiaoqing was still a little scared: "There are so many things to shoot a web drama... Sister, is it like this in every drama you have done before?"
"That's not the case."
Ling Suisui recalled, "I had very few scenes in Ding Feng Bo, and it was Teacher Wu who introduced me, so I don't remember encountering any problems. I was lucky in the following dramas, and I met reliable teams."
Not to mention Jin Bang and Zhao Jiang, they were the ones set up by Tang Bing herself; Feng Lei only made a cameo appearance for a few days, and it was a mission film, so they could be skipped directly; Freedom House was Yin Mingcheng's comeback project that he had bet heavily on, so it was impossible for him not to take it seriously; as for the game, Ai Tianming basically listened to her.
Sure enough, good actors and a good team can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Ling Suisui concluded: "It's only been six years since my debut that I've been able to get into a crew like this. My luck has already beaten 99% of the actresses in the domestic entertainment industry."
"You should be smarter, listen more and watch more on the set, and be more careful no matter what happens in the future. We won't cheat others, but we can't be cheated by others either."
Although I don't want to admit it, the situation of "Peach Blossom Burning" is the norm for most crews in the domestic entertainment industry.
Moreover, if we compare the worst, Taohua can even be considered quite conscientious - at least they did not mess with the extras and workers.
If he had to find some positive meaning from this, all Ling Sui could think of was to let the team members gain more experience. After all, her expectation for Qi Xiaoqing was not to let her be an assistant forever.
Qi Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly, then counted on her fingers.
"Sister, if we count from the filming of Ding Feng Bo, it's been six years, but if we count from Jia Zhen Zhen... you've been in the industry for seven years."
"When the filming of Peach Blossom is finished, it will be the eighth year since our debut."
This time it was Ling Suisui's turn to be shocked. Has it been so long?
She also did some calculations and realized that the "eighth year" Qi Xiaoqing mentioned should refer to the "seventh anniversary", and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right, she played Jia Zhenzhen when she was 17 years old. Mystery in Progress was broadcast in November. She will be 24 after her birthday in December this year.
But now, she is still 23 years old, and has become a real top star with more traffic than male stars.
Comparing the ages of today's popular young actresses, you can understand why so many people stubbornly refused to acknowledge her after she became famous.
Ling Suisui put down the script and prepared to visit his colleagues.
Filming a costume drama in a temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius, and they had to wear winter clothes, which made the other leading actors collapse.
Xu Han and others suffered from heatstroke and are currently feeling dizzy and disoriented. Li Mingxu is even worse off as he has a fever due to the heat.
Among the leading actors, only Ling Suisui, who regularly exercises and has the best physical condition, is fine and still alive and well. Apart from sweating a little more, there was no sign of her feeling uncomfortable.
Ling Suisui walked into the lounge and saw several leading actors lying on rocking chairs with ice patches on their foreheads. Li Mingxu also had an injection in his left hand, and doctors and nurses invited by the crew were working on the workbench on the other side.
They all collapsed, so today's filming had to be suspended and Ling Suisui was forced to take a day off.
Ling Suisui looked at Li Mingxu and asked the system: [Is there no item in the mall that can restore people's health? I want to give it to Li Mingxu. 】
The system was somewhat surprised: [Host, you actually care about the hero’s health! 】
[…Well, the main thing is that after Li Mingxu gets better, we can continue filming our scenes together today, and I don’t want him to delay the progress. 】
system:……
Sure enough, it shouldn't have any expectations of its host.
The system’s answer was of course no, which surprised Ling Suisui.
She didn't doubt that the system was lying to her. After all, the person who was sick was not her, but the system's beloved "male protagonist". If it said there was no disease, then it really was gone.
It’s just… a system that aims to train a good sister-in-law doesn’t even take the health of the “male protagonist” into consideration?
Ling Suisui took note of this doubt and visited and expressed his condolences in the order in which the rocking chairs were placed.
Xu Han's rocking chair was just to the right of Li Mingxu. She forced herself to sit up, slapped her face a few times, and then discussed a certain plot with Ling Suisui. This was the experience she had just thought of.
Li Mingxu next to her was stunned - no way, Xu Han was already lying in the crew's infirmary, and he still wanted to be the queen of the paper here? Are you human? Let's leave each other a way to survive!
Damn, she is so scheming! But don’t think you can squeeze him out like this!
Li Mingxu felt really uncomfortable before, but now he seemed to be energized and felt that he could do it again.
He told his assistant, "Bring me the script. A good actor won't waste a second of his time."
The assistant looked at him in disbelief: "Brother, but you said yesterday that you felt dizzy when you read the script. Let's have a good rest. It won't cost a little while."
He did not control his volume when he spoke, so Ling Suisui and Xu Han next to him of course heard it.
Ling Suisui's face remained calm. Xu Han was a little inexperienced after all, and he couldn't help laughing.
Li Mingxu: …
Destroy it, he doesn't want to live anymore.
The author has something to say:
Sorry I have something to do today, so the missing 1,000 words will be made up in the update on the 25th.
Because "Peach Blossom" is a highly commercial work, and the script is not difficult for Sui Sui to handle, there is nothing to write about in the filming...so the plot of the play within the play will unfold from the audience's perspective after it is broadcast.
This is the only true "ancient idol drama" in Sui Sui's career. There will be more costume dramas in the future, but they will all be works with strong female protagonists.
