Chapter 101: Ode to Floating Voices
Chapter 101
On her way home, Song Shuling browsed through the super topic from beginning to end and finally grasped the trick of chasing stars.
In addition to ranking and doing data, the sponsors also valued the purchasing power of the fans of the stars very much. The purchasing power of the fans proved the commercial value of the stars from another aspect. However, Zhong Ruanxing was a small actor, and her first endorsement was the expensive car and the perfume of Yunshan. It was indeed unaffordable for young fans.
One could spray some perfume, but one could not make up for such an expensive car.
Song Shuling returned home with a serious face. First, she checked the balance of her bank card. Over the years, her grandfather, grandmother, and fourth aunt had been giving her pocket money every month, but they gave a lot, and she also spent a lot. She was generous and spent a lot of money to please Song Jiavi's friends around her.
Now she really didn't have much money left.
She had never bought Yunshan because it was her family's own product. Every time they developed a new product, they would send it to the Song family's children's homes in advance.
This was the first time she opened the official flagship store of Yunshan, and then asked the customer service: "Which perfumes did Zhong Ruanxing endorse?"
The customer service replied: "Dear, Zhong Ruanxing is the full spokesperson for Yunshan, and she endorses every perfume!"
Song Shuling: "Then I want ten bottles of each."
The customer service was shocked: "Dear, are you sure it's every one? We have a total of forty-nine kinds of perfumes. Ten bottles each, that's four hundred and ninety bottles!"
Song Shuling: "Confirm."
And she calculated in her heart, were there a total of four hundred and ninety people in the entire amusement park? One bottle for each person should be enough, right?
Go to Fengchi's store tomorrow to buy a car, just say I want the same model as the one my sister-in-law sits in in the poster. In this way, the consumption data should be counted under my sister-in-law, right?
Let the capital see that my sister-in-law's fans also have purchasing power!
...
After being beaten by Teacher Niu for half a month, Song Jingxing was also ready to start filming.
Except for the first two days when she came on her period, she spent almost all of the time before filming practicing fighting scenes. Fortunately, this kind of training was effective. The muscles in his arms were harder, the lines were clearer, and with Zhong Ruanxing's original good foundation, every move was smooth.
When He Jing saw him on the set, he nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, well practiced."
He liked such obedient and serious actors. He was worried before that "her" beauty would take away the charm of the role itself. Now the temperament settled down, matched with the cold and enchanting appearance and the ethereal and sharp sense of power, the feeling of Yao Qiansi came out all at once.
After taking publicity photos and going through the opening ceremony, the crew of Floating Voice Song officially started filming.
The other heroine Xie Yunwei did not show up as Yu Liang said. However, she should have talked with the crew long ago about her absence. He Jing did not show any dissatisfaction with her absence, and simply moved Song Jingxing's scenes to the front to shoot.
As a drama with twin heroines, Song Jingxing played Yao Qiansi, and Xie Yunwei played Cang Lingxue, a pair of twin sisters.
The Cang family had received the oracle of "twins covering Cang" decades ago. Over the years, whenever a Cang woman gave birth to twins, one of them would be killed immediately. But this generation of Madam Cang was reluctant to have her own flesh and blood killed after giving birth to twin daughters, so she had her confidant prepare a stillbirth to take away one of the daughters.
Yao Qiansi, played by Song Jingxing, was the daughter who was saved and sent away. Afraid of being discovered by the Cang family, Madam Cang did not dare to arrange for someone to take care of her daughter, but only asked her confidant who admired her to take her daughter far away and never come back.
Yao Qiansi grew up in hardship and displacement. A few years later, the confidant unfortunately died miserably. Before his death, he told Yao Qiansi about her birth. The young Yao Qiansi had nowhere to go and was adopted by the notorious killer organization in the martial arts world, and gradually grew into a cold-blooded killer who regarded human life as grass.
While the other daughter, Cang Lingxue, was raised well in the Cang family and became the prestigious young lady of the Cang family. She and Yao Qiansi were worlds apart. She was innocent and ignorant of the world, and did not know that she had a twin sister.
Until the mid-point of the plot, Madam Cang, who had always missed her other daughter, died of depression, and finally told Cang Lingxue the secret before her death.
Cang Lingxue was greatly grieved, and vowed to find her sister in accordance with her mother's last wish.
In this process, Cang Lingxue gradually discovered the decay and darkness of the Cang family who raised her. Yao Qiansi's existence was also exposed. The Cang family sent people to encircle her several times, but Cang Lingxue secretly helped her escape each time.
Later, there was a great turmoil in the world, forces reorganized, and the Cang family was attacked by groups because of their many evil deeds. Although Cang Lingxue resented the actions of the Cang family, she was raised by the Cang family, so at this time she could only stand and fall together with the Cang family.
And the one who led the attack on the Cang family was Yao Qiansi. The two sisters finally crossed swords. The Cang family was destroyed, but Yao Qiansi secretly saved this younger sister, just as Cang Lingxue had secretly saved her again and again.
After that, after a series of twists and turns of gratitude and grudges, the two finally resolved their grievances at their mother's grave and recognized each other as sisters.
In the script, Cang Lingxue's character setting was very good. She was innocent and cheerful, but also clear about gratitude and grudges. She did not condone the Cang family's evil deeds, yet was grateful for the Cang family’s upbringing. At the time of the siege, she stood up, but was also prepared to sacrifice herself to repay the Cang family’s kindness in raising her.
Yao Qiansi's character setting was relatively simple by comparison. She was a cold-blooded and ruthless killer who, upon learning of her birth, had only hatred in her heart. It was only after being moved by her younger sister again and again that she finally put down her butcher’s knife.
Therefore, although this script was set up with twin heroines, from the plot and character settings, it leaned more towards Cang Lingxue, that is, Xie Yunwei.
However, Yao Qiansi's character setting was not bad either. Her scenes were comparable to Cang Lingxue's, and she was better than the latter in some ways. Zhong Ruanxing was still lucky to get this role.
Moreover, Song Jingxing adapted to this role very quickly.
Just as Zhong Ruanxing said, this role was within her comfort zone and was easy to play. He Jing chose her because he had seen the behind-the-scenes footage of The Spy, in which Song Jingxing played the female spy Shi Yufeng, which perfectly matched the cold and ruthless feeling he wanted.
In particular, those emotionless, indifferent eyes that regarded human life like grass left him very satisfied.
Not only that, Song Jingxing's fighting scenes also gave him a big surprise. He Jing had never seen a female actor whose fighting scenes could be so smooth and flowing, sharp and ethereal while full of momentum.
Yao Qiansi's makeup was already very cool. Shooting fighting scenes every day made the little fans in the crew scream with excitement.
Looking at the picture on the monitor, He Jing suddenly felt that after the drama was broadcast, Yao Qiansi might overshadow Cang Lingxue and become the only heroine in the audience's mind.
