Chapter 356
The highlights are just sesame seeds, the quality of the whole movie is the watermelon
When a gossiper broke the news that Ching Hsin-yi would make a guest appearance in "Easy As Pie", her rivals mocked her for this matter. But after Ling Sui followed her back on Weibo, the situation seemed to be different.
Fans breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to post pictures promoting her idol under the trending search #靖心怡追明星成功#. Although this topic forum is bound to be filled with the defense-breaking and sarcastic remarks of black fans, it doesn’t matter because Ling Suisui is not paying attention to them.
Many people said dejectedly that the company had spent money again and that the resources were just good, and some were furious and said that Ling Suisui had lowered her status and so on... They could say anything else, but when it came to Ling Suisui, Suisui's fans would be unhappy, so Jing Xinyi's black fans didn't dare to be too rampant.
This trending search did not last long, after all, it was just attention on Weibo. Jing Xinyi works for a big company in the industry, and Ling Suisui won't lose anything by going along with it and doing her a favor.
Passersby and Sui Si all thought so, but in fact this guess was only half right.
Ling Suisui was indeed doing a personal favor, but she was not doing it for the benefit of a big company, but for Jing Xinyi herself.
This girl has some talent.
In the context of the entertainment industry where personal relationships are everything, the term "reading people's expressions" is always neutral and slightly derogatory, and it becomes the control group for "high moral character and integrity", but there is nothing wrong with this ability itself.
"Jing Xinyi is a passive actor." Ling Suisui mentioned this when chatting with Chen Yuening. "She is not good at active creation, but she has an innate advantage in reading other people's emotions. In fact, I think she should not be an actor. The path of film and television review self-media is more suitable for her."
Of course, Ling Sui was just talking. Maybe it would be helpful if she told Jing Xinyi this when she was an amateur. Since she has already become a traffic star, there is no reason for her to change careers now.
Just because Jing Xinyi’s talent isn’t in character creation doesn’t mean she’s completely unsuitable for acting. The principle that diligence can make up for lack of talent is applicable in every field.
Chen Yuening was cutting an orange for her. He responded as he cut it: "Didn't you give her some advice?"
Ling Suisui nodded. Although Jing Xinyi's high perception could not be directly transformed into her performance ability, just like people who know how to eat may not be able to describe delicious food, she also has a strong ability to improvise and adapt to the environment.
She once praised her as "an actor who becomes stronger when faced with strong opponents." I believe that with Jing Xinyi's intelligence, she will definitely understand what she is hinting at.
——Your partners are very important. Don’t just hang around in the idol drama circle. Find a few veteran actors to guide you.
If I'm lucky, I might be able to win the Best Supporting Actress or Best Actress award, which would pave the way for my transformation in advance.
She is willing to sacrifice her reputation to come to this crew as a guest star, so she probably doesn't have such a strong obsession with the title of "No. 1".
If you can't give up the traffic route, just shoot idol dramas and other dramas in between. Others may not have such resources, but she is a popular artist in a big company.
Ling Sui took a bite of the orange and found it to be just the right sweetness.
"Not bad, you have a good eye for selecting products." Ling Suisui praised him, "How come you can always buy delicious fruits? I often fail to make mistakes when shopping online. Do you have any tricks?"
Chen Yuening smiled. There is no trick, just buy a few types and try them all first.
Ling Sui's attention was mostly on the script. She didn't know that Chen Yuening often treated the crew members to fruit and occasionally provided freshly squeezed juice during work meals.
He changed the subject: "I was just lucky. I heard that you introduced Jing Xinyi to Zhang Yun?"
Ling Suisui: "It's not an introduction. I just told her that there is a new project looking for actors."
The personal connections in the circle are also divided into different levels. Some want to be selected for a certain role, while others just help to mention a name. It depends on your own luck. Jing Xinyi's situation belongs to the latter.
Chen Yuening raised his eyebrows: "Repaying evil with kindness, Teacher Ling is very righteous."
Ling Suisui glanced at him. If there can be said to be any "grudge" between her and Jing Xinyi, then some people in the circle should really kowtow to her.
Chen Yuening: "I'm just worried that if someone thinks this method is useful and everyone starts to follow suit, how will you be able to live?"
Uh... Ling Sui admitted that this was something she had not thought of before.
"It doesn't matter." She shrugged. "If all the scammers are like Jing Xinyi, then I'll consider it as my contribution to the entertainment industry."
This surprised Chen Yuening: "Didn't you just say that her talent is not in acting?"
“But there are not only geniuses in the world.”
Ling Suisui said calmly: "To borrow a famous saying, the upper limit of most people is actually not to the point where they need to rely on talent. If she can maintain this kind of perseverance and resilience, she will succeed in everything she does."
Chen Yuening thought so too. Talent is not necessarily a gift from God; it can also be a trap that causes people to stay where they are or even fall from grace.
"You really are a very insightful person." He praised sincerely.
"And you are very kind." He added, "Helping Jing Xinyi is of no reward to you. You just simply want to help others."
Ling Suisui: "You have a big filter for me. I have invested in Zhang Yun's movie, and Jing Xinyi will have to repay me for her favor in the future, or repay it to other actors in my company."
The entertainment industry is a world of changing fortunes, and no one's future is set. Maybe if she helps out a little, she'll become a superstar's mentor in the future.
Chen Yuening didn't refute. He smiled and picked a new orange.
Suisui is such a good person who helps the world when he is successful.
**
In the crew of "Easy As Pie", Ling Suisui also had fighting scenes.
Because her fighting scenes are very famous internationally, the trailer of "Kung Fu Master" has already become very popular. The male actor who is about to be "beaten by her" even begs her for mercy in a serious manner.
"Teacher Ling, if you punch me like that, I won't go straight to the hospital, right?"
Ling Suisui continued: "It's still not too late for you to buy insurance now."
Everybody burst into laughter. If this scene wasn't an interior scene, everyone would really want to come and watch the fun.
But if Ling Suisui himself were to say, there was nothing good to see in this fight scene.
She has filmed war, martial arts, fairy tales, fantasy, and kung fu fighting scenes, and is proficient in many martial arts routines, but none of them were useful in this scene.
To put it bluntly, those are just gimmicks to look cool in front of the camera. No matter how realistic the fight looks, the visual effects are prioritized. No one cares about practicality, and no one expects to learn martial arts from movies or TV series.
But today's scene is different - Qian Ju is abused by her husband, and her child asks Shen Hui for help, and Shen Hui beats up this scumbag.
There's no need for any advanced fighting skills here. Just punch him in the face, hit him hard on the head, and focus on his vital points until he becomes dizzy and in pain and loses the ability to move. That's all.
Shen Hui is not a delicate girl. She even dares to try wingsuit flying and is tired of boxing.
Ling Suisui has extensive experience in beating people and knows how to beat people effectively in front of the camera, so the above movements are no difficulty for her.
On the contrary, the emotional part is more complicated for her.
Before filming began, she spent a lot of time sorting out Shen Hui's character. There is no doubt that this is a very cold and self-centered character. She has no empathy for ordinary people and cannot empathize with Qian Ju's situation, but human character is not black and white. She has not completely lost her humanity and still has a simple sense of justice.
Otherwise, she would not have gone there in person when Qian Ju's child asked for help.
Shen Hui doesn't have much sense of justice, just a little. If the person who hurt Qian Ju was an armed kidnapper, she would definitely not care about Qian Ju's life or death, but would go to a safe place as soon as possible. She would even weigh the pros and cons and make sure she could get herself out of trouble before considering calling the police for her.
But now it is her husband who is hurting Qian Ju. The other party was unarmed, and was a low-class man who appeared to be strong on the outside but was actually weak and bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Chen Hui indeed lacked experience in dealing with this kind of people. She might not be able to judge that the other party was a coward who only dared to shake his fist at his wife and would immediately slide to his knees if anyone outside was tough with him. But in her perception, he was a worthless existence who could be crushed to death with just a flick of her finger.
Then what else is there to consider? Just beat him up and that's it.
When Ling Suisui was discussing the script with other actors, someone asked if Shen Hui had some heroic dreams. Seeing how ruthlessly she helped Qian Ju beat people up, it seems that she does have a strong sense of justice.
In fact, this understanding is not wrong. There is not so much conflict between upholding the justice of others and exploiting one's own employees... But Ling Suisui read the script many times, and she knew that Shen Hui was not like that.
There was a certain justice in her beating up the scumbag, but she felt it was more of a way to vent her feelings.
Chen Hui proposed to exchange lives, not to recall the past, because how could a rich lady endure the hardships? The reason why she was willing to live as Qian Lan and made it more difficult for herself to return to the Qian family was that she regarded this place as a "real copy".
She believed that even if she used Qian Lan's identity, she would still be able to return to the top as quickly as possible, because she was that outstanding - this extremely narcissistic and arrogant psychological activity was the main reason why Ling Suisui believed that she was mentally abnormal.
But Shen Hui was wrong. The class barriers were even deeper than she had imagined. She used her knowledge and means to earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. This was already very remarkable in the eyes of the Qian family, but what did it mean to Shen Hui?
A mere one million became a barrier that blocked her, making her feel very aggrieved. She had never taken this amount of money seriously before.
Even though the Qian family thought she had great potential, Shen Hui was still very dissatisfied with her current situation because she looked down on the Qian family, so their praise and admiration meant nothing to her. Qian Ju's husband committed a crime at this time, and happened to run into her gun point.
When she had no place to vent her frustration and was unwilling to accept that her success was also determined by the luck of her reincarnation, a human-shaped sandbag suddenly appeared. Could Chen Hui let it go?
Another point is that, whether before or after disguising herself as Qian Lan, Chen Hui was very careful about her image in front of others.
After all, this is the Internet age, and capitalists cannot openly show their contempt and disdain for ordinary people. Even if you don't create a "people-friendly" persona for yourself, you can't let your brand be boycotted online because of a bad image.
So, no matter what she thought in her heart, Chen Hui appeared to be peaceful and friendly on the surface. These repressed emotions that could not be expressed had been piling up in her heart until someone finally appeared to whom she could openly vent her negative emotions - one can only say that this scumbag was lucky enough to have caught the right opportunity.
This is a movie. Even if the shot is only a dozen seconds long, it is worth the actors' repeated consideration.
Every movement and expression of the character can convey a lot of information to the audience. Some audiences can see it and will savor it carefully, while some just watch it for fun and will just skim through it. But this is no excuse for the actors to be lazy.
Ling Sui's analysis of the character's behavior is not based solely on a certain plot, but must be connected to the context and take the overall situation into consideration.
But...the actor who played Qian Ju's husband didn't have a complete script, and after filming the scene, he felt terrible.
Going to the hospital and buying insurance before were all jokes. Ling Suisui certainly wouldn't really beat him, but his heart was traumatized!
No one told him that the expression on Qian Lan's face would be so sarcastic and the contempt in her eyes would be so hurtful.
Qian Lan said nothing and just kept beating people, but he felt that he had been judged from head to toe by the other party, and in the end he was labeled as useless trash.
The first few times were fine, but later the actor became more and more into the role, and felt that the insults he was suffering were getting stronger and stronger... He dared to guarantee that there was nothing in the world more sarcastic and hateful than Ling Suisui's expression at that moment.
He didn't even need to act out the angry state later on. If Ling Suisui wasn't really strong enough, he might not have been able to hold him down...
Ling Suisui would not let the wonderful improvisation of her co-actor go to waste. She also showed a kind of contempt of "How dare you pick a fight with me" at the right time. The double-standard arrogance that only she can take action and the other party is not worthy of fighting back was written on her face and reflected in her actions, which stimulated the male actor to forget his lines that he should admit defeat.
But the next second, he was shocked by the cruelty and amusement on Ling Suisui's face.
It is not the first time that Ling Suisui has played such a frightening expression. From Wuyou to Monica, and then to Chen Hui who has an outburst of negative emotions, she has become more and more adept and proficient at it.
In the past, she could only rely on her eyes, but now she can add a sinister smile. The male actor who plays with her can be regarded as the first person to experience the deluxe plus package.
Although, the other party doesn't seem to want this experience very much...
After the director called for stop, Ling Suisui immediately distanced himself from him and very consciously took a few steps back to leave the other's sight.
Based on her experience in acting in this kind of drama, the other party definitely doesn't want to see her face until he or she has completely recovered.
This is indeed the case. The actor is now gasping for breath, and he feels his heartbeat must be over 120.
It was too horrible. He was very reluctant to recall the scene just now, but his mind was out of his control. He recalled the fear that made his scalp tingle and his brain go blank. Qian Lan's eyes were definitely not looking at people. The look a cat gives to a mouse is a hundred times more gentle and affectionate than this!
He weakly praised: "It is said that one must work with Teacher Ling once in his life to know what a top actor is. This is really true. Teacher Ling, you..."
He emptied his vocabulary but couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he just gave a thumbs up and used this to represent everything.
"Teacher Zhang, you are too kind." Ling Suisui waved his hands quickly, "I don't know who is trying to flatter me so much that they spread such rumors outside."
She paused, then comforted him: "Actually, after I beat you up, I regretted it very quickly. I was just impulsive just now. This is not a crime drama. We don't want to go the dark route."
This is about the role and the plot, but the actor still felt inexplicably relieved when he heard this.
It was all because Ling Sui's acting was so good. Even though he knew it was just a play, he still had some psychological trauma when he saw her...
Ling Suisui rubbed her nose. It was true that Chen Hui regretted it, but she didn't regret it because of any positive or beautiful qualities. She just felt that it was too cheap to vent her anger on such a guy. He was even downgraded to a punching bag. What the hell was he...
After all, Chen Hui has only a little bit of humanity, just like the beef in the braised beef noodles, which is definitely not much. Please refer to the actual product for accuracy.
This scene was reshot several times according to the camera angles, and Ling Suisui came to the monitor to see his own performance.
The actor also said that after the movie is released, the audience will know how hard he worked on the filming of this movie. He must bring his relatives and friends to buy tickets to watch the movie, and he must buy the largest theater to feel the strongest impact of the scene. He cannot be the only one to get hurt.
But Ling Suisui glanced at Tang Bing, who didn't seem to show any particular interest in this clip.
Tang Bing asked her, "Are you improvising again?"
If it was written in the script, the male actor wouldn't be so scared.
"Yeah." Ling Suisui nodded calmly, "I just showed the dark side of Shen Hui. Did I overact?"
Yes, that’s what Tang Bing wanted to say.
Ling Suisui’s analysis of the characters has always been very accurate, but there is a hierarchy in which the character’s traits need to be shown on the screen. When this shot was released, the tone of Shen Hui’s character changed instantly.
Tang Bing was speechless for a moment. Other crews were counting on the actors to go all out, but Ling Sui was the only one who could do that. She had clearly never acted in a horror movie before, but she managed to turn scaring the audience into her own territory, letting this impromptu negative emotion take over the show. And she acted so well...
"Teacher, just cut it off. Just treat it as a mistake I made just now." Ling Suisui took the initiative to say, "It's nothing. I'll perform better for you next time."
This is very Versailles, but she is Ling Sui, so it makes sense.
No matter how well an actor performs, all the scenes should serve the movie rather than be a show of personal skill. Ling Suisui is very clear about this point.
Whether there are exciting and high-energy clips is just a sesame seed to her. The quality of the entire movie is the most important thing.
Since Ling Suisui said so, and with her full confidence in her ability, Tang Bing quickly let go of her regret. This scene, which almost scared the life out of the male actor she was acting opposite, was destined not to appear in theaters.
After the release of "Easy As Piece", the actor who waited in the cinema for this scene: ...
No, why was he the only one injured? ! !
