Chapter 287
Don't forget, she also aired two TV series last year.
In April, Ling Sui won two Best Actress awards, one from the Tiantan Awards and the other from the Hong Kong Film Awards.
The former was expected, while the latter was an unexpected gain. Even Ling Suisui herself did not expect that she would win the Best Actress award at the Academy Awards for the second time so soon, because her last win was last year, and that was even without her attending the awards ceremony.
It is extremely difficult to win the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards for two consecutive years. After the millennium, no actress had won this honor. It was not until Ling Sui came out with her works that people in the 21st century had a deeper understanding and definition of "superstar".
For this reason, Ling Fei lamented in her small group at home that the wall was customized too early and was too small. Can just thirty or so spaces hold all of Ling Sui's trophies? Don’t even fail to make it through this year.
Ling Sui posted an emoji of lying down, but it was not as exaggerated as what Ms. Ling Fei said. Moreover, she doesn’t put all trophies on her collection wall. She has to choose the best from the best.
Some people have made an award prediction table for Ling Suisui and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Currently, the award with the highest support and expectations is the Huabiao Award, which will be held in May. After the Huabiao, there will be the Directors Association. There will be no Hundred Flowers Award this year, but there will be a Golden Rooster Award in November.
As for other awards, Ling Suisui and Pei Xuehai probably don't take them seriously. The watchmakers also encourage some less well-known awards to support newcomers more. After all, they are in need the most, and the Emperor really doesn't need your little help.
At this time, someone reminded: It’s not just an award in the film industry~
Don’t forget that Ling Sui aired two TV series last year, and "Under the Wave" looks very likely to win awards. The Magnolia Awards are given every year. There are no Flying Apsara Awards this year, but there are Golden Eagle Awards. How many Best Actress Awards do you think she can win? And that only counts the mainstream awards.
But this raises a new question - Ling Sui has been nominated for the Magnolia Award for two consecutive years, will she be nominated for a third time?
Although Sui Si said they didn't want to say bad things, they never borrowed awards and didn't mean to look down on any award, and Ling Sui was serious about filming and didn't offend anyone, the people who were there to watch the fun still laughed. It's enough for everyone to feel good about it. Who cares if you set the public's psychological expectations too high and whether it will backfire if you don't win the award?
In short, Ling Suisui was passively "marketing" her own big devil persona, but she was already accustomed to this kind of flattery and it did not affect her mentality.
By late April, the filming of "The Sister Who Can't Get Married" was nearing completion. Yan Siling deliberately arranged the important group scenes in the later stage, hoping that the leading actors would accumulate enough tacit understanding in the previous filming.
There was a group scene with a family dinner on Saturday, and Ji Shuyan and Feng Li both rushed to the crew from other places. Considering that both children have to go to school, Qi Xiaoqing tries to arrange their scenes on weekends.
Feng Li’s cross-dressing performance was very successful. She cut her hair into a slightly parted bun and never wore a skirt. The filming took more than a month, and many crew members didn't know that she was actually a girl.
Feng Li was very happy; she felt that her acting range had broadened significantly. She told Ling Suisui that Aunt Zhang Wen had given her a new role, this time to play the heroine's childhood.
Ling Suisui raised an eyebrow: "Then your schedule is very full, and your filming efficiency is higher than mine."
Feng Li chuckled, because she really likes acting.
She hadn't talked with Ling Suisui for long before the assistant director asked her to teach him the script. Because Feng Li didn't know enough words, her script was a phonetic version, and the assistant director would read it to her first to ensure that she understood the meaning of every line.
Feng Li has never read the complete script, she only received script excerpts. I heard from Ling Sui that this seems to be called "child protection"? Feng Li didn't quite understand what this sentence meant, so she just let her play whatever role she was asked to play.
The character she plays is called Youyou, and she only has one line in today's scene, which is "delicious".
Most of the time, she just needed to concentrate on eating, and when her mother in the play brought the topic to her, she would just say it was delicious.
This was simple and Feng Li remembered it quickly. In order to take care of the child's stomach, the prop dishes on the table had already cooled down during the process of plating, adjusting the lighting and camera positions. Only the children's meals were freshly prepared in the kitchen so she could eat them hot.
Feng Li is a dedicated and good actor. She will eat seriously if asked to. Even when the camera could not capture her, Feng Li was still eating.
Give me some green beans—Ling Suisui pushed the door open and the adults and sister next to him all looked towards the door.
She came in and went out again, probably for a reshoot. Because it is a long shot for Ling Suisui to open the door with the key and then walk to the dining table, the actors at the dining table have to stay in place every time it is repeated.
After repeating it three or four times, Yan Siling wanted to keep one more, but her assistant asked her to stop for a while.
Feng Li’s special children’s meal is finished and needs to be made now.
This sudden incident made all the actors and staff on the scene laugh. The prop dishes on the table were hardly touched. Feng Li was the only one who ate the most seriously. She even burped.
Others were laughing, but Feng Li was dumbfounded. Aren’t you supposed to eat? She ate too much just now and can't eat anymore!
The enthusiastic Gu Size taught her some tricks to pretend eating, such as chewing but not swallowing, tearing the food but letting it fall into the bowl... In short, these are some methods that allow you to eat in front of the camera without actually eating it.
Yan Siling thought this was fine. She couldn't let Feng Li keep eating because a child's stomach didn't have enough capacity.
Unexpectedly, Feng Li, who had always cooperated with the crew during the filming, showed strong resistance. She refused to continue acting in this way, and the staff and leading actors on the scene took turns to coax her, promising to buy her snacks, gifts, and take her out to play, but it seemed to have only the opposite effect, and her resistance became even stronger.
"What's going on?"
Ling Suisui was originally waiting outside, but because he had been delayed inside for too long and heard from the assistant that Feng Li was suddenly uncooperative, he came in to take a look.
When she approached the dining table, she just heard Gu Size saying in a coaxing tone that he would take her to the amusement park after the filming was finished, but Feng Li was not buying it. The more he persuaded her, the more she refused and she even cried.
Gu Size was completely at a loss, as coaxing a child was not within his skill set. When he saw Ling Suisui coming in, he was like seeing a savior. He quickly pulled her aside and explained the whole story.
Today's scene is quite important. If the filming is not done well due to the child's non-cooperation, Gu Size feels that he will be angry to death.
"Is it because the child has lost patience after so many takes? Or is it because she can't sit still and wants to go out and play?"
"No." Ling Suisui gave a negative answer first. "Feng Li likes acting very much. This child's patience and perseverance are stronger than ordinary children. She must have her reasons for not wanting to cooperate. Don't worry, I'll go ask her."
There were a lot of people here, so Ling Suisui took Feng Li to a quieter corner. When she was alone with Ling Suisui, Feng Li told her the reason why she didn't want to pretend to eat.
"Because that is unprofessional" - these are Feng Li's original words.
She has seen the behind-the-scenes video of Ling Suisui filming "The Last Rank". When Ling Suisui played Zhang Zihan, she seemed to have eaten five or six bowls, or seven or eight bowls of rice, just to get the best effect. Qi Xuan also said that actors must really listen, watch and feel, so how could she fake eating in front of the camera?
After hearing the reasons, Ling Sui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that this matter was related to her.
She patiently explained to Feng Li that the shot she took at that time was a close-up, but now Feng Li only needed to cut to a panoramic view when eating. The performance requirements of the two were different, so it was not appropriate to compare them together.
Moreover, this kind of "fake eating" is not intended to deceive the audience, it is just a performance technique. Only by mastering this technique can she shoot more content with her limited stomach capacity. After all, Youyou has to keep eating and he won't stop eating until this long shot is finished.
To make it easier for Feng Li to understand, Ling Suisui also gave the example of a certain character's death. It's a good thing for actors to pursue realism in their acting, but they also have to consider the actual situation. For example, when shooting a scene like this, you can't really sacrifice an actor, right?
-By the way, actually when Ling Sui was filming "The Last Name on the List" she only really ate in close-ups and close-ups. Otherwise, that scene would have taken more than an hour to shoot, so how could she have eaten continuously for so long?
Feng Li blinked her eyes. So that's how it is. It felt like the door to a new world had been opened.
After she understood the reason, she wiped away her tears and returned to the dining table to ask Tao Jing for advice on how to pretend to eat.
Seeing her attitude make a 180-degree turn, everyone was relieved but also curious about how Ling Suisui did it.
Gu Size asked, she had never raised a child, so how come she had the skill to coax a child?
"You're wrong to think from this perspective." Ling Suisui spread his hands. "The word 'coax' naturally carries the attitude of a superior. Feng Li's ability to perceive emotions is very sharp. She knows that you don't mean to communicate with her on an equal footing, so she is unwilling to communicate with you."
Gu Size was stunned. He remembered that Feng Li seemed to be only four years old this year? Are kids nowadays maturing so precocious?
"And you've been... well, from her point of view, tempting her."
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "She doesn't agree with this matter. If you don't reason with her and promise her benefits, she will be more convinced that this is not a good thing and she shouldn't do this. Teacher Gu, don't underestimate the simple sense of justice of the little girl."
Gu Size coughed twice and admitted that he had previously regarded Feng Li as just a "relative" and thought there was no difference in acting skills between children. Now it seems that the casting of Ling Suisui and Yan Siling is still very promising.
He knew that Ling Suisui liked Feng Li very much, so he said politely: "This child is smart and talented. She may be able to catch up with you in her future achievements."
Ling Suisui shook his head, that was not enough. If she were to accept Feng Li as her student in the future, she would certainly hope that she could surpass herself. The film and television industry will develop in a healthy way with each generation becoming stronger than the previous one.
But these are all things for the future. Now is still the time for her to build her own empire.
Feng Li finished filming this scene smoothly. She didn't have a deep impression of the adults' lines. She only remembered that they mentioned things like "room", "blind date", "savings", and "the down payment your parents paid for you".
But she knew that this would probably not be a very pleasant meal. Because when we were filming, the atmosphere at the dinner table was really depressing, and the expressions on the adults' faces were all weird. Even Ji Shuyan, who plays her sister, seems to know something, but only her perspective knows nothing.
Feng Li really wanted to see the finished film as soon as possible. She always felt that she had missed some key plots while concentrating on pretending to eat, and did not grasp the essence of today's scene.
In early May, the filming of "The Sister Who Can't Get Married" was officially completed. On the same day, the Huabiao Awards released its shortlist. "The Great Swordsman" was nominated for four awards, the most nominations among all the shortlisted works. Ling Suisui became one of the candidates for Outstanding Actress.
Because the nomination and award ceremony of the Huabiao Awards were very close, Ling Sui did not have much rest and rushed to the new schedule.
Although there was a long interval between the release of "Zhao Jiang" and "The Great Swordsman", the Huabiao Awards are held every two years, which means that Ling Suisui was nominated as the Outstanding Actress twice in a row at the Huabiao Awards.
The Huabiao Award is a government award in the film field. In terms of subject matter, this is actually the second time she does not have an advantage. But she was lucky this year. Usually only two people are nominated for the Outstanding Actress award, and her competitor did not star in a mainstream movie, so the two were basically on the same starting line.
So, does she have a chance of taking home the trophy this year?
