Chapter 320
If you want to be a good actor, you can't just be an actor
Obviously, if this physical method could really drop inspiration, there would be no need for specialized advertising and marketing companies in the world.
Ling Suisui thought about it for a long time. In fact, there are many points in the plot of "Dragon Slayer" that are worth discussing, but she can't use them.
On the one hand, the movie has not been released yet, so she cannot give out official spoilers. On the other hand, she is not down-to-earth enough. The threshold for discussing the plot is obviously much higher than watching variety shows and posting barrages, and the coverage is not wide enough.
Whether it is makeup, character personality, or other promotional points, the above two factors are taken into consideration.
There is very little that can be revealed, but the goal to be achieved is huge...If Ling Suisui didn't really get a share of the box office profits, she would definitely throw the matter back to Warner. This is not something she, an actor, should worry about.
The only old way she could think of was to ask friends in the circle to help forward and promote it. Although "xxx popularity" is often on the hot search list and the audience no longer finds it a fresh topic, it is a safe card that will not have any negative effects.
It was still June at that time. Ling Suisui was filming while participating in program recordings with the main actors. She will not start offline promotional activities until July.
Although she didn't participate in many activities, these schedules overlapped with her filming notices, leaving her with no rest days on her calendar. Ling Sui will have to endure such days for about three months.
Others thought that it would be very hard for her and that it might affect her filming and publicity. However, every time Ling Sui appeared in public, except for certain emotions during filming, she almost always looked glamorous.
Richard was very impressed and curious. God, doesn't she need any rest?
"Of course I need to rest." Ling Suisui said seriously, "I sleep eight hours a day, not a second less."
Richard didn't believe it. With Ling Sui's devilish schedule at the age of 21, did she have the conditions to do so?
This is Richard's misunderstanding of sleep. He thinks that eight hours means lying in bed - or at least lying in a comfortable airline chair, eight hours without being disturbed. However, the eight hours of sleep that Ling Suisui takes every day can be timed separately and are not affected by the environment.
For example, during the break in the recording of their show today, Ling Sui put on a steam eye mask and slept on the neck pillow for half an hour.
While she was sleeping, Richard reminded his colleagues in the dressing room to speak more quietly. During this time, Edward accidentally knocked over bottles and jars on a table, making a loud noise. He was worried that Ling Sui would be woken up, but she still maintained an excellent sleep quality.
Richard was completely convinced, and he asked Ling Suisui for the link to the noise-canceling earplugs, thinking that this thing would be extremely useful. Unfortunately, he didn't know that it was Ling Suisui's plug-in.
This was the time when Ling Sui was most satisfied with the system. Considering that its deep sleep function could be of great help during the period of continuous work, she would not easily get rid of it.
After waking up, Ling Suisui browsed her phone while waiting for the makeup artist to come.
Richard was right next to her. Logically he could have kept silent, but he just felt that this quiet environment was a bit strange. It made him restless and he always wanted to say something.
He started the topic with the weather - Ling Sui almost forgot that although he is active in Hollywood, he is actually British.
Ling Sui, who had just woken up, didn't really want to chat, but given her self-discipline for her behavior, she certainly couldn't vent her morning anger on Richard, who was very friendly to her.
So she threw the difficult question that Werner had thrown at him, and said, "We are all leading actors, so you should also think about what kind of publicity the actors can do themselves."
Not to mention asking people to help forward the news - she had already thought of this.
Richard's mouth, which had just opened, closed again. While he was racking his brains, Ling Suisui finally got a moment of peace.
She is not averse to socializing and is very good at it, but it consumes her energy. From this perspective, she looks very E but is actually i person.
In fact, Ling Suisui seldom mentions her MBTI, because she thinks people's personalities are very complex and cannot be summarized with such simple labels, but this thing is very popular. For Ling Suisui, the description of each "personality" is actually very broad...
Wait, she seems to have an idea.
Ling Suisui felt that he had been wrong at the beginning. If the movie was to be promoted based on its content, that was something Warner should weigh and think about. All she can do is use her star power to turn movies into a fashion item.
If there is any activity that has a low threshold, high willingness of netizens to participate, and spontaneous promotion on social platforms, it must be a variety of test questions!
As long as a tag is given at the end for everyone to display, and the activity is popular enough and many people around them are posting about it, netizens will flock to it, fearing that they will fall behind the trend.
The more Ling Sui thought about it, the more it made sense. In the process of refining her ideas, she even omitted the matter of "test questions". It would be best if the random results would pop up quickly when you open this page. As for whether it is accurate or not, you can just play around with it.
She provided several ideas for combining this model with film promotion, but because of copyright issues, Warner would definitely need to make the final decision. What Ling Sui can do next is to take the lead in implementing the plan after they have finalized it, and then get a few more friends in the circle to play together.
As for the effect, we can only say "one drama, one life", and this sentence also applies to movies.
However, Ling Suisui specifically reminded that this kind of activity becomes popular quickly and becomes outdated quickly, so it is best to save it for a few days before the movie is released. Moreover, she made the proposal based on the Chinese market, and she was not sure whether people in other countries would like this kind of thing.
Tong Xiaoman helped her improve the plan and said, "You have more and more things to take care of now."
In the past, the director would tell her how to act, and she would listen to the director's arrangements on the spot. If she wanted to make a suggestion, she had to ask someone else for help, otherwise no one would take it seriously.
Later on, her say in the crew became more and more powerful, and others also wanted to use her influence.
"There's nothing I can do about it." Ling Sui shrugged. "Over the years, I've come to understand one thing more and more. If you want to be a pure and good actor, you can't just be an actor."
Tong Xiaoman smiled after hearing this. There was no need for her to point out the deep meaning behind these words.
Ling Sui is very busy, so she has no time to listen to the latest news of Fengshou Media. She is lucky enough to be able to take care of herself now.
After another devilish journey, Ling Sui, who could only sleep on the plane and in the car, returned to the crew of "Kung Fu Master". Before filming began, the assistant director repeatedly looked at her face and asked her several times how she felt.
There is a particularly high-intensity fight scene today, and the director wants to create a continuous and smooth effect, so he wants to try a long shot, with absolutely no possibility of using a stand-in in the middle. It would actually be quite dangerous if Ling Sui's physical condition couldn't keep up.
But the assistant director didn't dare to ask her to take a break. Filming was burning money by the second, but if something unexpected happened...
Ling Sui was aware of her physical condition and she was not really that tired. Since there are cheats, why bother making things difficult for the crew members?
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ling Suisui said, "I've practiced this scene many times with the martial arts director, and every move has almost become my muscle memory."
When it comes to superhero movies, fighting scenes are definitely the top priority. This scene is about Li Mo breaking into the maze alone, breaking eighteen puppets in a row, and finally taking down the monster's clone in one fell swoop.
Well...ignoring the fact that she made a mistake in judgement and accidentally let the real body escape, this fight scene is very cool and handsome!
As for the catching of the thief at the end, there will definitely be various special effects, and that is when Li Mo will use her ultimate move.
In terms of lethality, the ultimate move at the end is the strongest, but in terms of shooting difficulty, today's fight scene is the toughest one to chew.
Ling Sui said that she was about to form muscle memory, and it was not an exaggeration to joke. She opened the fan with one hand. The fan was a defensive prop as well as a weapon for chopping, slashing, stabbing and cutting.
Because the director wanted to shoot a long shot, the little fan tricks that Ling Suisui practiced could only be demonstrated in daily scenes. But she thought this was a good thing, as it proved that Li Mo's fan was indeed a weapon, not a toy for display.
She and the martial arts actors for this scene had practiced many times, but the scene was still repeated over and over again. It wasn't that there was something wrong with her shooting, but that the director, in pursuit of perfection, kept adjusting the angle of the camera and the shooting method.
The photographer controlling the jib was about to collapse. Was it necessary to take this shot? However, when he saw that Ling Suisui remained calm after being beaten more than a dozen times, his mood gradually calmed down.
In fact, Ling Sui's mood is far from as calm as he appears.
If you ask her if she is tired, she will nod after finishing the first take. The actors playing the eighteen puppets on the opposite side are real martial arts actors. In order to show the feeling of Chinese Kung Fu hitting the flesh, they perform every set of moves for real.
What does real fighting mean? It means really chopping down with a fan, really taking the opponent's hand, and really dodging. Except for the moment when the opponent was knocked down, everything else was real.
This is also the reason why Dilland weighed the pros and cons, gave up a number of Asian stars, and actually found a Chinese actress to play the role. Although this is not the only factor, it is also an important influencing factor.
Only Ling Sui, the only actress who continues to be the queen of film after achieving success, has truly achieved "one minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage".
Although the director's insistence on long shots was very willful and almost drove the photographer crazy, as long as everyone saw that Ling Suisui didn't complain of being tired, this stabilizing force could calm the emotions of everyone on the scene.
The final polished effect made the photographer so excited that he almost cried with joy. If there were textbooks for superhero movies, today's scene would definitely be worth including.
After finishing work, Ling Suisui still pretended to be calm in front of others, but after getting into the RV, he lay on the bed with lifeless eyes. The assistant asked her where she felt uncomfortable. She wanted to say that no place on her body felt comfortable, but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words.
"I'll be fine after a rest," she said. "I'm not hurt anywhere, I'm just tired. My muscles are probably sore. Please help me make an appointment with a masseur."
To be honest, before the filming of this scene, the assistant had no idea that a star as popular as Ling Suisui would have to work so hard to make money.
Well... I don’t mean to say that this behavior is bad, it’s just that it’s a little different from the impression she has of a “superstar”.
If Ling Sui could hear her voice, he would tell her that no one in the world can live an easy life, everyone is working hard.
The hard-working Ling Suisui turned on her cell phone and Warner informed her about the new promotional plan for "Dragon Slayer". They reached a cooperation with the short video platform and launched a dragon horn special effect with random questions and answers:
"If you were to become a dragon, what are the three things you would most like to do?"
This question does not require the special effects user to answer, but will pop up automatically above the dragon's horns.
Ling Suisui tried it, and the random answers were: grab gold coins, grab a lot of gold coins, and grab a lot of gold coins.
Ling Suisui: ...
What kind of special effect is this? It's a bit weird.
