Chapter 92
No matter how skilled she is, she is outclassed by the other party.
After Ling Suisui said this, several instructors breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they no longer have to take the risk of "damaging their reputation" and can follow the script with Xi Yu and the program team.
As for Xi Yu’s failure to achieve the desired effect - please, who is in the mood to care about her now?
When it comes down to it, it was all her own fault and that she chose the wrong person. What does it have to do with anyone else?
Ling Suisui knew that this segment would definitely be broadcast.
Xi Yu was able to get the program team to cooperate because the scripts written by her team could bring in topics and attract traffic, allowing the program team to consider it from a "win-win" perspective;
Although she changed the ending, it was still a hit when it was broadcast. As long as it can become a hot topic and make the show a hit, Tao Wei doesn’t mind who is being sacrificed.
The real "Prince" is the one with the highest score in the whole show because of his good character setting. Ling Suisui is a tool of the program team, and so is Xi Yu.
This was settled, but Ling Suisui observed that Qi Xuan seemed not very satisfied but did not say it out loud.
Well... after seeing the style of the program crew, it is normal for Qi Xuan not to want to speak.
The recording of this episode ended, and the guests took off their microphones and left the studio.
Ling Suisui caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and found an excuse to let Zhang Kexin leave first. She would come to see her later, and they would have dinner together tonight.
At an empty corner, Ling Sui stopped.
Xi Yu walked out with a complicated expression. Her lips moved slightly, but she didn't know what to say. It was quite similar to her state on the stage just now.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Ling Sui asked calmly.
“…It wasn’t my idea.”
She thought for a long time and only said this sentence.
Ling Suisui raised an eyebrow: "Can I understand that you have a little conscience, but not much?"
"The idea may not be what you want, but if you firmly disagree, will the company force the arrangement regardless of your wishes?"
"The reason why the show is recorded like this today is not because you took a step back, but because of my own ability. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would become stepping stones for your marketing hype."
"If you're looking to relieve your guilt and get some psychological comfort, you're looking for the wrong person."
Ling Sui turned and left without saying anything more to her.
Xi Yu wants to be a vested interest and at the same time wants to occupy the moral high ground. How can that be possible?
Reconciliation is impossible. Xiyu's team has already deliberately targeted her twice. It is too late to repair the relationship now.
Ling Sui was walking towards the parking lot when Qi Xuan stopped him on the way.
...Well, it seems that it won't be that easy for her to leave here.
Given Qi Xuan's seniority, Ling Suisui couldn't possibly not give her face. She originally wanted to find a cafe to sit down and chat, but Qi Xuan said that there was no need to be so troublesome and she just wanted to talk to her for a few words.
Qi Xuan got straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth: "Were you unaware of what happened today, or were you cooperating with the performance to hype it up?"
"I don't know." Ling Suisui shook his head. "In fact, when I signed the contract, the director of this program was not Tao Wei yet."
If she knew it was him, she would never come even if she wanted to establish a relationship with Yumi Video.
Even though hyping up topics is a common tactic and method used in variety shows, Tao Wei's bottom line is much lower than that of his peers.
While Ling Suisui was speaking, Qi Xuan stared at her eyes and expression to confirm that she was not lying.
That’s good, Qi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that after today's trouble, she would be the only clown and everyone else was in collusion.
Qi Xuan continued, "Why did you take the initiative to give the production team a way out? If you insist, I will seek justice for you. Xi Yu's acting skills are not as good as yours, and she is the one who should leave."
She added: "Tang Bing will not sit idly by."
Hearing her say this, Ling Suisui remembered Tang Bing's evaluation of Qi Xuan.
Tang Bing said that she has a very stubborn personality and only believes in her own opinions, especially when it comes to acting.
It seems that the teacher was not wrong at all.
Ling Suisui thought for a moment and replied, "Mr. Qi, thank you for your kindness, but I think not everything is worth arguing about. It is not important to me whether I can stay in this program or not. Leaving is actually a better choice."
Since she has fully proven her ability, if she leaves on her own, she might even be able to do some favors, but if she makes a scene to the point where she loses all face, what good will that do her?
When he was not strong enough, Ling Suisui was more concerned about maximizing his own interests.
Besides, if she had to ask Tang Bing to support her even to decide whether she would be eliminated... that would be too much of a boost to this crappy show. Ling Sui felt from the bottom of her heart that it didn't deserve it.
It's just a qualifying spot in a variety show, it's not worth her fighting for it.
Qi Xuan stood up straight and looked at her intently.
If it were twenty years ago, she would have argued with her, but as time passed and her experience grew, Qi Xuan's mentality also changed.
"I understand... Stars have to consider a lot of things, and it's not as simple and pure as actors. You are indeed a student brought up by Tang Bing."
Ling Suisui paused for a moment. These words mentioned Tang Bing, which involved their past grievances. They were no longer addressed to her.
After thinking about it, she continued, "Although I don't know what happened in the past, I believe that there must be a misunderstanding between you and Teacher Tang."
"I am very grateful for your appreciation and protection of me, but I really cannot agree with your denial of Mr. Tang's identity as an actor just now."
Qi Xuan snorted, but didn't say anything else.
She is a reasonable person, and it is indeed not good for her to speak ill of the teacher in front of the students.
She said: "I originally wanted to wish you to be a good actor, but now it seems that I will just wish you to become a big star in the future."
Ling Suisui said calmly: "Thank you, but the two are not contradictory. Teacher Tang has already demonstrated it to me."
Qi Xuan: "...You really protect her."
This touching relationship between teachers and students is really heartbreaking.
After saying goodbye to Ling Suisui, Qi Xuan watched her back again.
Is it a misunderstanding?
Forget it, after so many years, it doesn’t matter anymore.
**
When the pilot episode of "Passing on the Torch" was released, the black-hearted production crew really used the old story of Tang Bing and the mentor group to stir up topics.
Netizens were watching the show, originally wanting to see Tang Bing's student Ling Suisui "break into the enemy camp alone", but someone revealed that Ling Suisui was eliminated in the first episode, and the person who eliminated her was Xi Yu.
Once the explosive post was released, hundreds of stories high were quickly built in the entertainment group.
[These two people actually got together... You are worthy of being tw]
[Laughing to death, the post about 0ss and xy fighting over the rotten cake has been pushed up again, and the already martyred xm is about to be pulled out and whipped]
[I feel it's fake. 0ss's acting skills are top-tier among the new generation. Who else could be the champion if not her? None of the other players can beat him.]
[Sui Si does not raise Gu, nor does it borrow money to become a champion. Self-funded dramas that are disguised as Sui Si will definitely fail.]
[It’s true, my cousin was at the show at the time. These are all scripts written for the show, 0ss only signed for one episode]
[…What era is this now? Is there still anyone who truly feels deeply about acting variety shows? Don’t you understand when you see that the director is TW?]
There was a mixture of true and false information on the forum, and the real melon owner Ling Sui had some free fun again.
Obviously, seeing that their plan to pull her down failed, Xi Yu's team changed their tactics and started to say that she only signed for one period. Now they didn't dare to step on her at all, and they just racked their brains to pick Xi Yu out.
But... all these tricks are useless.
Xi Yu will complete the path she has chosen for herself no matter how many tears she sheds.
Fan Qiaoyou tried to request the program team to cut out the challenge card part, and just flash one or two sentences of Xi Yu's solo impromptu performance, and then when announcing the elimination list, only read out the names of three people, and then cut out the sentence where Ling Suisui said he wanted to withdraw from the competition.
In this way, the number of qualifying places remains 36, and Xi Yu can be completely invisible, and it doesn't matter if there is no camera.
She had a good idea, but Tao Wei didn't agree, so there was no room for discussion.
Just as Ling Suisui guessed, Tao Wei's goal is traffic and popularity. He will ignore Ling Suisui's image in order to create topics, and he certainly won't care about Xiyu's life or death now.
My goodness, Huacai had a great idea. They were the ones who offended Ling Suisui, and now they think that just because the script went wrong, they will just pretend nothing happened? How is that possible!
Since it has been done, just broadcast it as it should be. Why should he cut out segments and materials that are sure to become a hit just for the sake of Xi Yu's image?
Black and red are both red, and it’s not him who is black.
Seeing that this approach didn't work, Fan Qiao tried another way of expression.
She did not ask for the challenge card segment to be deleted, but only hoped that the post-editing process would create a more "equally matched" effect. She admitted that she had selfish motives for doing this, but a one-sided crushing victory was definitely not as interesting as the controversy over "who is better?"
Tao Wei admitted that Fan Qiao knew how to be flexible and adaptable, and also knew how to achieve a win-win situation for both parties.
He simply told the other party: "If it was someone else, I would have agreed, but I really can't do this."
Fan Qiao was nervous and asked indirectly, could it be that Tong Xiaoman had also come to negotiate?
"No." Tao Wei replied, "She didn't come, so they don't need her."
"I'll tell you the truth. I've watched this clip several times. I want to edit it to make Xi Yu as good as Ling Sui Sui, unless she doesn't appear on camera at all."
Without comparison, it is impossible to tell which one is better.
Fan Qiao: ...
Good, very good. In all her years in the industry, this is the first time she has suffered such a big setback.
It's not that her methods are ineffective or her network is not wide enough, but no matter how powerful she is, Ling Sui's acting skills are enough to crush Xi Yu, and even the king cannot change this fact.
Tao Wei's words "They have no use for it" were like a stab in the heart of Fan Qiao.
If Xi Yu had tried harder...
Forget it. If she really had such acting skills, why would she bother to tie up and try to extort money from Ling Suisui?
As expected, after the feature film was broadcast, public opinion online was overwhelmingly mocking Xi Yu.
No matter how much they emphasize that it's all a script, do netizens care about this? All we can see is that Xi Yu’s acting is really bad.
Her words "I choose Ling Suisui" after receiving the challenge card were made into an emoticon, and they were even more delicious when paired with the camera's sweeping, shocking and puzzled reactions of other contestants.
Of course, not all of these reactions follow this sentence, but Tao Wei likes to make this kind of mixed editing.
This was the tactic they originally wanted to use on Ling Suisui, but the entertainment industry's stance reversed in an instant.
Good news: Xi Yu’s acting skills have become popular.
Bad news: What went viral was the animated picture of her being unable to respond to a sentence, and was rated as "the most embarrassing performance of the year" by her rivals.
Once an actor is labeled like this, his future acting career will be limited. If you want to wash away this impression, you have to work ten or a hundred times harder.
Regarding this program, Ling Suisui only cooperated with the promotion of the first episode according to the contract. As for "resurrection" and "rebirth", she has no interest in it at all.
Why would she fall into the same pit a second time when she had already fallen into it?
During the studio review, Kang Le couldn't help but say: "After this incident, other stars and teams should all realize that strength is the foundation and confidence of everything, right?"
If anyone wants to use Ling Sui's name to hype themselves up, I suggest you think about Xi Yu's fate first.
Even someone as skilled as Fan Qiao is helpless in the face of such overwhelming acting skills.
Ling Suisui smiled and shook his head: "They may be content for a while, but profit is attractive, and there will always be people who want to take shortcuts."
There is no end to prevention, she can only move herself to a higher place so that others cannot touch her even if they want to.
Compared to this, Ling Suisui was more concerned about something else.
The nominations for this year's Magnolia Awards should be announced soon.
