Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, Xia Wei’s emotions were still considered stable. After all, she was an experienced actress.
It was very common for such a thing to happen on set. Anger and tantrums could not solve any problems. She still smiled and said gently, “It’s good that you know your problem. Just pay attention to overcoming it when filming starts.”
“The emperor you’re acting as is a proud and unreasonable person. You have to master the crazy and restrained streak in his personality. You have to confront and argue with me. You can’t keep being led away by me. That way, this scene won’t be filmed! Have you seen the patients in the mental hospital? The stubbornness in their eyes and the unreasonable madness are things you need to understand and learn!”
Xia Wei patiently helped Lu Man analyze the role and instinctively said a lot. When she came back to her senses, she was already surrounded by a few people.
There were Lin Yi and Luo Ying, who were holding cups and tissues, the physiotherapist who had been guarding her, the assistant director who wanted to come forward and tell Lu Man the scenes, and the frustrated Xu Kai.
Xu Kai had also imagined the scene of Xia Wei and Lu Man acting before. He knew that their acting skills were average and was prepared to “fight” for a long time.
However, what he did not expect was that he did not have to worry about Xia Wei from the first scene onwards.
Xia Wei was like a very professional and experienced actress. Her analysis of her own role was extremely accurate. She was almost very precise about the emotions and expressions that she needed to do in every scene.
When Xu Kai first saw it, he thought that she had just coincidentally understood what was needed for that scene!
However, after filming a few scenes in a row, he slowly discovered a shocking big secret. Xia Wei actually knew how to act.
What’s more, her acting skills were extremely strong. It was not superficial acting skills. It was also what they often mentioned in the industry. The difference between big screens and television dramas was that one focused on the details of emotions and actions, and the other focused on the movements and expressions!
Xia Wei was really good at acting, and she seemed to have been reborn.
Seeing that Xia Wei was helping him with his work, the assistant director took the script and stood quietly at the side to listen.
After observing carefully, he realized that Xia Wei was really an actress with some skills. Not only was Xia Wei’s acting skills outstanding and exquisite, but she could also help the other actors in the same production team. This was very good.
He looked at Xia Wei with admiration. After Xia Wei finished speaking, he even nodded in agreement. “Sometimes, acting requires comprehension and talent. If you can understand and immerse yourself in the role, it means that you understand. If you can’t understand this character, you won’t be able to act it no matter what! Moreover, this is not something that others can help with. You can only rely on yourself!”
“Your role is actually not complicated. It’s not even half as complicated as Xia Wei’s Shadow Girl! Just imagine him as a powerful lunatic. He will wake up occasionally, but most of the time he’s crazy.”
As the assistant director spoke, he reached out and patted Lu Man’s shoulder. There was encouragement in his eyes, but he was even more tired.
With the assistant director taking over her “job”, Xia Wei could finally take a break and drink some water.
Lin Yi looked at her and thought for a moment before reporting, “Sister Wei! Brother Wang said that he would come to the team to see you tonight. He even brought us a lot of delicious food. You don’t have to eat boxed lunches anymore.”
Xia Wei nodded and replied in a low mood, “Alright, I understand.”
As she spoke, she waved at the makeup artist a few steps away and told her about the makeup on her face.
Xia Wei, who was engrossed in her work, was very professional and calm. She forced herself to film well and think less about what happened at noon.
However, the effect of this method was not especially good. She had to put in 100% of her energy to ensure that she would not think about Jian Tan.. She would then be able to truly focus on her performance after Xu Kai shouted “Action”!
