Chapter 176
It is still a group variety show. I will finish writing about the variety show in this chapter.
Except for the "speed race" on the first day which was a bit exciting, the group variety show recordings on the second and third days returned to the slow life mode.
The actors sleep until they wake up naturally, and breakfast and lunch are provided by the production crew. If there were no camera following her, Ling Sui would probably watch movies or read books, increasing her content input through various means.
But in front of the camera, she still has to find something to interact with others so that the group variety show has more material.
For example, pulling Li Mingxu out of bed to practice dancing.
If time could go back, Li Mingxu would definitely not suggest "dancing a duet" again.
When he made the suggestion, he thought of the ambiguous atmosphere and the excellent visual effects; but he forgot that every wonderful move on the stage needs sweat as a support.
After practicing dancing for an hour, Li Mingxu was tired. He didn't care about his image and just lay down on the floor of the rehearsal room. He was unwilling to get up even when there was a camera pointing at him.
Ling Suisui walked up to him and handed him a bottle of water after tearing off the outer packaging.
"You are allowed to lie down for ten minutes." She said, "I will come to call you later. Take a rest."
Li Mingxu wanted to cry but had no tears. He struggled to sit up and let out a long sigh.
He whispered to Ling Suisui, "Sister Sui, I really can't practice anymore. Can you pretend that I never said anything about the duet? The show hasn't aired yet, let's ask the director to cut out yesterday's segment."
Ling Suisui really wanted to kick him, what a joke! It was him who said he wanted to dance yesterday, and now he is the one who regrets it. Could it be that she got up early to practice dancing just for fun?
"No." Ling Suisui refused sternly: "How can recording a show be so simple? It's easy for you to say one word, but the two idols who came to teach us to dance adapted the dance in the fastest time and rushed over from other places last night. They just wanted to show their faces in the variety show. If you say you don't want to dance, then don't dance. Isn't it a waste of their trip?"
There are also staff members who need to negotiate copyrights, contact bands, and adjust the lighting... It's easy for celebrities to "talk casually" on variety shows, because it's others who are running around anyway.
Normal work is tiring enough, and if you encounter older naughty children, Ling Sui feels frustrated for the workers at Aoqi.
"We are all in this circle, we see each other everywhere, you should pay attention to your reputation."
Li Mingxu nodded, got up dejectedly and continued to practice dancing.
Ling Suisui could see that he was obedient at this time not because he understood the reason, but because he did not dare to disobey her.
Tsk... The prince who was recommended for admission upon his debut really doesn’t know the “sufferings of the people” in the entertainment industry.
Humans, indeed, can float. Li Mingxu dared to test the waters in front of her, but he could remain sober when facing other partners.
Ling Sui shrugged. She had already fulfilled her responsibility as the big sister to remind the little brother. If the little brother didn't listen, that was his problem.
Young people will have to take many detours. Unless this guy suffers a big setback in the entertainment industry, he will not take other people's experiences and lessons seriously.
Anyway, Peach Blossom is about to be aired, and after the hot period is over, no one will care whether he lives or dies.
The next morning was free time. Ling Suisui and Li Mingxu danced in the rehearsal room, and other actors also found something to do.
Xu Han and another actress made cookies, which looked delicious. Seeing Ling Suisui and Li Mingxu coming down, he invited them to come and taste the food.
Ling Suisui tasted one piece first, hmm... they must have put a lethal amount of sugar in it.
She remained calm and picked out the biggest piece for Li Mingxu: "Come, you eat too."
Li Mingxu was totally unprepared. He took a big sip and was so overwhelmed by the sweetness that he lost control of his facial expression.
Alas, Xiao Li is a child who is always young and never learns his lessons.
Ling Sui taught him a lesson yesterday, and he taught him another one today. I hope he will be smarter next time.
The second night of the group variety show was an open-air hotpot party + concert, and the program team arranged some game sessions.
They will provide what is needed for hot pot, but all of this requires tacit understanding between the actors. Each person must take something different in order to keep the item. If there are two or more duplicate choices, the selected items will disappear.
Before each member made their choice, the director team gave them a few minutes to discuss. Ling Suisui guessed that this part would not be so simple.
Li Mingxu was still arranging the meat, meatballs, vegetables, etc. Ling Suisui shook his head: "We haven't considered it comprehensively enough. You only thought about the ingredients. What if you have to choose the pot too?"
When these words came out, not only several actors were shocked, but even their Follow PDs opened their mouths wide.
Just by looking at their expressions, you can tell that Ling Suisui guessed right.
On the one hand, Li Mingxu criticized the program crew, but on the other hand, he was full of admiration for Sui Jie's cleverness and wit. She just appeared less in variety shows in recent years, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand these routines.
Ling Suisui smiled slightly: "You can choose in the order you go, sorted by the first letter of the pinyin of the items. I said this, they may remove the text annotations, but for the name of something in the hot pot, everyone should follow the most common and smoothest name, which should not be too different."
Several actors set off one by one with full confidence, and the director sitting opposite them froze his smile.
Never mind, this is also a kind of show effect...right?
With the universal cracked version developed by Ling Suisui, the next game was naturally completed perfectly. Ling Suisui was very glad that there was no fool in the crew who couldn't even count the order of the pinyin letters.
In the evening, the concert went on as scheduled. The program team also prepared a surprise for Ling Suisui——
She was singing on the stage when the voice of the original singer of the character's song came from behind. Ling Suisui thought he had played the wrong tape, but when he turned around, he saw that it was the original singer.
Wow, it’s Xiang Yanchu. This was the first time they met after graduation.
The two hugged on the stage and sang the song together. After the performance, Ling Suisui invited Xiang Yanchu to join the hot pot party, and the staff also put out an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Xiang Yanchu greeted the actors one by one. One of the male actors mentioned that they had worked together before and were in the crew of another drama that was to be broadcast.
Xiang Yanchu nodded, and she glanced at Ling Suisui out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that the other party had a normal expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Since they were already here, Ling Suisui would of course let her stay for one night so that she could play with them tomorrow. Anyway, Xiang Yanchu sang the theme song of Xu Fangfei, so broadly speaking, he can be considered a member of the crew.
There were no extra rooms in the B&B, so Xiang Yanchu had to squeeze in with Ling Suisui. After the wheat was picked at night and the camera in the room was blocked, Xiang Yanchu apologized to Ling Suisui embarrassedly.
Ling Suisui didn't react for a moment: "Ah?"
"...Exactly. I had to be your roommate to get the chance to appear on the screen, but I promoted my own play..."
Xiang Yanchu was glad that the lights were turned off, so Ling Sui could not see her face burning and her toes digging into the ground.
"What's the big deal?" Ling Suisui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Your upcoming drama is on Aoqi, so it must have been arranged by Aoqi. Whatever the platform asks you to do, can you still say you don't want it?"
"Besides, our dramas don't conflict with each other, so there's no competition and it won't affect me at all."
If she remembered correctly, Xiang Yanchu was an antenna artist, but now he has more contact with Aoqi.
It is not uncommon for celebrities to change jobs in the domestic entertainment industry, but when artists with different fame and traffic change jobs, the treatment they receive from the platform will of course be different. It's easy to imagine that Xiang Yanchu should have no say in front of Aoqi.
Ling Suisui explained to Xiang Yanchu that because her "Perfect Life" was not in Aoqi, and the next drama to be filmed was not in Aoqi, so in addition to hoping that her peach blossoms would explode, Aoqi also tried every means to fleece her...
She also gave an example. Just this afternoon, the production crew packed up several of their actors and sent them into a secret room.
This segment has nothing to do with the promotion of the drama. It is purely to warm up and advertise another escape room variety show by Aoqi. The scenes are all in the same studio.
In short, Ling Suisui had no doubt that if she could only spare three days of time and her management team was relatively strong, Aoqi would definitely let her appear in all the self-made variety shows on all platforms in the name of drama promotion, and she would not miss any of them.
It just happened to coincide with Aoqi's downturn, and her appeal to the platform now is no less than a little goblin watching Tang Monk's flesh.
The top management doesn't even care about their table manners. Xiang Yanchu is just an ordinary actor and there is no need for him to have such a high sense of morals. Ling Sui could understand that what she said didn't count.
After Ling Suisui finished speaking, he heard Xiang Yanchu sniff.
"You're quite tearful right now." She teased her with something from the past, "Hurry up and save your current mood. Next time you find yourself unable to cry on stage, just recall this scene today. You're guaranteed to cry."
As expected, Xiang Yanchu was amused by her. She hit her with a pillow, and the two of them played around on the bed for a while, and all the melancholy emotions flew away.
After calming down for a while, Xiang Yanchu said, "Actually, I'm embarrassed to come to see you... Besides the drama announcement, there are other things."
"When I graduated, I said I wanted to be a singer, but I still acted in web dramas. You know, the most decent song I have recorded in the past few years is the role song you recommended me to sing."
Ling Suisui listened to her quietly and held Xiang Yanchu's hand.
"It's okay." She comforted her softly, "Sometimes the situation is stronger than the person, and job opportunities are the most important. I understand you. I just heard you singing, your breath and everything else were very stable, I thought you played a CD. You shouldn't have given up singing all these years, right?"
Xiang Yanchu nodded vigorously in the dark night. This was the only thing that made her confident.
"Although there haven't been many opportunities... I've been practicing and have written a lot of songs... Enough to release an album, but I don't think anyone will listen to them."
"That'll do."
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "It's good that you didn't give up. If you don't give up, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
Those who work hard may wander in the dark, but the sun will eventually rise as usual.
