Chapter 289: Touched
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This movie created the character of Madam Sharon with extremely delicate narrative techniques and terrifying details. In the movie, Madam Sharon was a very ordinary person. She looked ordinary and came from an ordinary background. After divorcing her husband, she raised three underage children alone.
Such a life was naturally difficult, so Sharon’s family lived a very poor life.
They even often fell into dilemmas. In order to maintain their lives, Sharon worked three jobs in the day and wrote stories for some novels and magazines at night to earn meager royalties.
However, the counterattack plot in traditional stories did not appear in Sharon. She did not have the writing talent of a genius. In order to cater to the market and readers, she sometimes had to write many vulgar and melodramatic plots. Such a story naturally could not become a literary classic or make her a great writer.
Of course, Sharon had never wanted to be a great writer. Life had worn her down enough that she’d long since forgotten what her childhood dreams had been. Dreams were such a luxury in the adult world that it seemed ridiculous to mention them.
Madam Sharon was about the ordinary life of an ordinary woman. There were no legendary twists in the story. Just like that, Sharon quietly walked through her life that was not worthy of praise. However, such a movie with an ordinary person as the protagonist became an immortal classic in the history of movies.
Yang Na still remembered that she had just celebrated her twentieth birthday when she watched this movie.
At that time, she had already worked hard in the entertainment industry for a few years, but she did not win the favor of the Goddess of Luck. She often fell into a predicament where she did not have any films to film, and she was unwilling to act in those low-budget movies that were aimed at currying favor with the audience.
If the company asked her to go on a variety show, she would not go if she could. She did not want to become a female artist who acted funny on the screen because that would leave a different stereotype of her in the audience. It was not conducive to the audience remembering her work.
Naturally, her persistence did not end well. For a long time, she did not have any income. She even had to write reviews for some movie bloggers to earn money to make a living.
Many people thought that celebrities were very rich, but that was not the case. Those very popular celebrities could naturally earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year, but to a small celebrity like Yang Na, not filming meant that there was no income, and the company would not bear all the expenses for her.
After watching Madam Sharon, for some reason, Yang Na’s eyes gradually teared up. Then, she cried in the rented house where she lived alone.
In fact, Sharon and Yang Na’s lives were not similar. The era and background of the two of them were also different. Yang Na did not know why she cried after watching the movie. She attributed it to the overall tone of the movie being more depressing and sad.
However, when she got older, she understood that she was touched by Madam Sharon. She saw a stubborn bravery in Madam Sharon. That was her attitude towards life.
The director of Madam Sharon displayed that tenacious and tragic bravery in countless scenes. This deeply stimulated Yang Na and resonated with her from the depths of her heart.
After filming many movies, Yang Na, whose aesthetics had reached another level, also realized that the movie, Madam Sharon, was far more valuable than its own fame. This was definitely a movie that had been underestimated.
At this moment, Yang Na did not expect one of her favorite movies to appear in the Hall of Classics.
Yang Na was surprised and delighted. She immediately abandoned all the alternative dramas she had just chosen. She looked at the camera that followed her and said to the production team behind the camera, “I choose the role of Sharon in ‘Madam Sharon’.”
Yang Na’s tone was very certain. She was even thinking about how to portray the role of Madam Sharon later.
In Yang Na’s opinion, an ordinary person like Sharon was more of a test of an actor’s acting skills. If she acted too well, it would seem exaggerated, and if she acted too restrained, she would not be able to show the arc of the character.
Those characters that were full of drama conflicts could be presented in many ways, but it was difficult for an ordinary person to perform that delicate and natural feeling.
Yang Na felt that she was facing a huge challenge, but it also made her extremely excited.. It was simply amazing to have the chance to play her favorite role in a nationally popular show like Celebrity Acting Class 2!
