Chapter 140
New Guou Cake has arrived
When Qi Xuan was filming, Ling Suisui also went to watch.
She moved a small stool and sat next to the director, and found that Tang Bing and Qi Xuan actually had a good understanding of each other.
During the on-site dispatch, Tang Bing only needed to say the beginning of her words for Qi Xuan to understand the meaning of her entire sentence.
More importantly, not only did she understand it immediately, but she was also able to perfectly demonstrate the effect Tang Bing wanted.
Ling Sui was unable to achieve this level of understanding when he first joined the group.
She became more and more curious about their relationship, but unfortunately the teacher was busy and she was too embarrassed to ask again.
Ling Suisui has not forgotten her original intention - she is not here to gossip, but to observe and learn.
Facts have proved that a big star who can stand firm in the fierce competition among female stars can never be a vase.
In such a simple scene, the old woman played by Qi Xuan instantly made Ling Suisui immersed in the situation.
When Qi Xuan tremblingly bent her knees and tried to squat down, her heart seemed to be grabbed by something and her nose suddenly felt sore.
The movie was limited in length and the script did not explain the old woman's life story, but Qi Xuan was able to act it out.
Her body was not strong, even weak, so kneeling was extremely difficult. She seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't form any fancy words when the words came to her lips.
She had neither education nor extra money, so she could only kowtow in the most pious way she could think of, in the direction the horses were leaving, and pray in her heart for Li Sanniang's safety.
Ling Suisui thought that this scene would definitely not be cut and the audience who came to see the movie would remember her.
This is the skill of a good actor - whether he can shine has nothing to do with the length of time he appears on screen.
After Qi Xuan finished filming this scene, Ling Suisui came to her in the name of visiting a senior.
Qi Xuan glanced at her and said, "It's you. What's wrong?"
Ling Suisui didn't mind Qi Xuan's slightly cold attitude. She greeted her first, and then talked about everything from the weather to food. Before Qi Xuan was about to lose her patience, she finally got to the question she wanted to ask.
If she doesn't figure out what's going on today, she'll feel itchy when she goes to sleep at night.
When asked this, Qi Xuan paused obviously.
She said, "Why don't you ask Tang Bing?"
"I asked the teacher as well." Ling Suisui said sincerely, "but I want to hear your opinion at the same time."
Well, I did ask, but Tang Bing didn’t say it.
She just omitted a few details and is still a good and honest child.
Qi Xuan looked at her with a smile, and did not expose Ling Sui's little thoughts.
She sat in a chair, took a sip of tea slowly, and then told stories from the past.
The story is actually quite boring. It is nothing more than a pair of good friends in the entertainment industry having conflicts while getting along with each other.
At first, it was just a matter of minor details, and the two tried to seek common ground while reserving differences, but due to the conflict of values and concepts, the rift in their friendship grew bigger and bigger.
Qi Xuan felt that artists should have the pride to "not bow down for a few pieces of silver", but Tang Bing said that she was being unnecessarily aloof. Times are changing, and actors must also adapt to new market rules.
Qi Xuan mocked Tang Bing for being blind and unable to see some dark sides. Tang Bing said that it was childish to quit out of spite. Only by getting to the table first would one be able to change the rules in the future.
"I didn't believe it then, and I didn't believe it for all these years."
Qi Xuan said: "That's why I came today. I want to see with my own eyes whether she wants to fulfill her promise or just keep talking big as usual."
If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, it would be hard to imagine that the "hundreds of pages of PDF of grievances and love-hate relationship between big flowers" that was widely circulated outside was actually so simple.
Ling Suisui didn’t believe it at first - people who often eat melons know that the more detailed the melon, the more likely it is to be fake, unless the whistleblower is lying under someone’s bed.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Then that movie character..."
"That crew never invited me. It's just part of the hype." Qi Xuan squinted at her. "Have you never been tricked by anyone?"
Ling Sui was silent. It turned out that these marketing methods in the entertainment industry were not new more than ten years ago.
She also saw that Teacher Qi Xuan must surf the Internet frequently, and her words were very trendy...
Ling Suisui then asked her: "After filming today's scene, do you think Teacher Tang did a good job?"
Qi Xuan turned her head away: "Children should stay out of the adult's business."
...Well, Teacher Qi Xuan is quite arrogant.
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "Then I will pretend that I didn't hear anything you said to me today, and I will never say a word to Teacher Tang."
If you adults want to reconcile, just go and talk it out yourselves. She won't serve as a mouthpiece for either side.
Humph, she also has a bit of a temper.
When Ling Suisui was about to leave, Qi Xuan suddenly said, "There are only so many things she can do."
Ling Suisui knew what she was talking about and couldn't deny it.
The entertainment industry is so big that it cannot be changed by one person, one team or one company. She can create a huge splash, but if no more stones are thrown into the pool, the surface of the pool will return to calm.
but……
Ling Sui looked into the distance.
Who knows what will happen in the future.
She could only promise in her heart to do her best.
**
A week after the filming of "Zhao Jiang" was completed, Ling Suisui returned to Guangzhou and basically lay in bed, taking what most people would consider a "rest".
No one said she was lazy, and no one urged her to exercise or control her diet. On the contrary, Tong Xiaoman asked her if she wanted to eat hot pot or barbecue, and let's enjoy some high-calorie food.
The reason is simple, it's just that Ling Sui is too self-disciplined. The team is even worried that her "needs" are suppressed too much and she might develop some mental illness.
Regarding this kind of concern, Ling Suisui can only say that everyone is overthinking it.
The human body has inertia. For example, if she lies in bed for a few days, she may feel comfortable and relaxed at first, but soon she starts to feel uncomfortable all over and wants to go to the gym to exercise.
Ling Fei said that she was born to be restless.
Ling Sui was treated like a treasure when she just returned home, but after a week, her mother asked her not to lie down at home. The Lantern Festival is over, let’s go out to work.
Hao Ren also said, you've already had seven days of rest, what else do you want? How can you sleep well at your age?
In front of his parents, Ling Sui was badly disliked. After signing dozens of autographed photos for their colleagues, friends, and relatives' children, she was dragged out of the house by Ms. Ling Fei and put on the plane.
Ling Suisui: ...
Forget it, it would be better to return to the capital as soon as possible. Her and Tong Xiaoman’s company is also registered there.
However, Ling Suisui did not rent a house in the capital. Looking at her schedule last year, you can tell that she spent more than half of her time filming on the set, so it is more convenient for her to stay in a hotel on weekdays.
The members of her team also work online and accompany her on her travels. People in this industry are all at home anywhere.
Ling Suisui first heard two good news. The first was that the release date of "The Game is Online" was set, which was in mid-May.
The second is that the theme song of the same name written by Chi Jia for the game has also been released. Tong Xiaoman listened to the demo and thought it was very good, and there were no problems with the official version.
Ling Sui has also listened to it. It's very passionate and exciting. As a BGM, it fits the tone of the work very well. That's enough.
As for whether this song can become popular... this thing is very mysterious, no one can tell for sure. Anyway, Ling Sui did not pin her hopes on the theme song to attract traffic for the drama, otherwise what else would she do.
This time when she came to the imperial capital, she first went to Planet Film and Television.
As early as when she was filming "Zhao Jiang", Planet sent someone to ask about the new project. Ling Suisui still remembered the promise he made and had no intention of breaking it.
The planet's intended project was ancient idol drama, and Ling Suisui gladly accepted it.
As an actor, you should try different types of subject matter to attract audiences with different interests.
Now the track of film and television works has been divided into more and more subdivided, and it is impossible for one play to cover all audiences. But she can make more films and appeal to all age groups, and that would be what we call true national popularity.
In fact, ever since the broadcast of "Ding Feng Bo", there has been no end to the calls for Ling Sui to film another ancient idol drama. She had been considering it for years, and only made up her mind to shoot the film after she negotiated terms with Planet and had some choice over the script.
On the day Ling Suisui and Tong Xiaoman were guests at Planet Films, the top management also called Li Mingxu and his agent to come and have a chat.
Ling Suisui was happy to see this happen. When talking about script selection, it would be better if another leading actor was present. It will be easier to cooperate happily if you choose one that both parties are satisfied with.
It’s just that the top management underestimated Ling Suisui’s influence on Li Mingxu.
For Li Mingxu, Ling Suisui is simply a beacon of his acting career. When he was filming his first movie and was still at a loss, it was she who gave him private guidance and care, shared many techniques with him, and built up his confidence.
Therefore, Li Mingxu's choices all followed Ling Suisui's. If she said this was not good, he would say he would wait and see. If she said this was okay, he would nod.
——Anyway, these projects have been screened by the company’s top management first, and the hero’s personality and story are not too bad.
Ling Sui has read a lot, and she believes that Planet is sincere, because the projects handed to her are all good. Even if it is the kind of love-hate, physical and mental torture literature, reading the introduction is enough to make people feel anxious.
Although this type of work will inevitably be criticized after it is broadcast, it is undeniable that it still has a large basic audience.
However...the focus of crematorium literature is on "when will the male protagonist regret it". Ling Suisui agreed to film a drama with Xingxing, but had no intention of carrying Li Mingxu's sedan chair.
If she treated it as a way to fill her schedule, she could just shoot it casually and perfunctorily. After all, all it takes is to cry.
But it is obvious that Ling Sui would not do this. She is very serious about every work and would not use any film or TV series to consume the audience's love and trust.
As for the others...it doesn't seem to work either.
Whether she is doing business, being a female official, or even engaging in domestic strife, they are all committed to creating a very powerful personality for the heroine. Then, when encountering a problem, she immediately becomes flustered and unable to cope, and has to look for the hero to come out and solve it.
Ling Suisui thought, isn’t this the legendary “a strong woman makes a stronger man”? They all rely on the male protagonist, and are not as honest as the literature of the beloved wife, at least they won't trick people into being killed.
After she pointed this out, the person in charge on the planet said, "Oh, this is all due to the limitations of the times. Women in the feudal era were like this..."
Ling Suisui asked, "Is that so? Then are the cultural customs, regional characteristics, clothing and jewelry, bureaucracy, etc. in the script also restored in this way?"
The person in charge stopped talking. These are all IPs adapted from novels. How could the details be so exquisite?
Ling Suisui smiled and said nothing more.
This is the characteristic of some ancient novels and dramas. The plots are all fictitious, except for the oppression of women, which is a collection of the dregs of thousands of years of feudal times, and even the legitimate and illegitimate religions of other countries are used.
A young and promising prime minister can be set up with a golden finger, but having one wife and multiple concubines must follow the "rules of the times". Zhu Youtang shook his head when he saw this.
Ling Suisui picked for a long time and finally came up with a project proposal for an original script.
"I think this is good." She said sincerely, "Marriage first, love later, happy enemies, the hero and heroine each have their own growth lines, it's a relatively warm story, it can be made into a light comedy."
Ah... the person in charge was stunned for a moment. He just stuffed it in to make up the number when he was sorting out the information today.
At a meeting a few days ago, almost no one was optimistic about this project because the male and female protagonists were both idiots. Or, ordinary people who are not that smart.
Nowadays, ancient idol dramas are all crazy about character design. Some people say that it is absolutely impossible to find a popular star willing to play such a silly protagonist.
Unexpectedly, Ling Suisui fell in love with it at first sight.
The person in charge fell into deep thought, should he trust Ling Suisui's vision in choosing scripts?
