Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Truly Born for This
The director watched the screen of the monitor. As Guan Xiao grabbed Tang Li’s arm, a group of background actors playing passersby rushed by hurriedly, pushing Tang Li’s body into Guan Xiao’s shoulder, knocking off her duckbill cap and revealing her true face from Mount Lu.
It wasn’t the kind of shooting technique used in idol dramas to showcase a female lead astonishing the male lead.
With the duckbill cap gone, Tang Li almost appeared barefaced on cara, with sowhat noticeable dark circles, slightly ssy hair, and a popular online-purchased shirt.
In China, female actresses are mostly unwilling to uglify themselves.
Especially the famous ones, once asked to don ugly makeup, they imdiately protest with tears.
Without being made up beautifully, they refuse to act in the scene.
These actresses are only concerned about looking bright and beautiful, but they forget that makeup is also a part of driving the plot and expressing the character.
In front of the cara, Jing Xiu glanced back at the young man before her.
She was young, with little expression on her face, exuding a cold deanor.
Lu Xiaoyang frowned and said again, “Give the cellphone.”
The next second, the girl broke free from his grasp, picked up her duckbill cap and headed straight for the staircase as if he had done sothing very rude.
When the cara turned to Guan Xiao, he patted his pocket to make sure the cellphone was gone and imdiately chased after her.
He intercepted her at the staircase.
It was a long shot that lasted for ten minutes.
“Where’s the cellphone?” Lu Xiaoyang questioned, accompanied by the sound of the subway arriving at the station.
Many passersby walked past them.
At the staircase entrance, the cold night wind surged in.
With her hair in a ponytail, the wind tousled her hair. She planned to walk past the man, the indifference she showed seemingly mixed with a hint of disdain.
It was as if she was certain that he couldn’t do anything to her.
The director gently rested his fist against his mouth and nose with his right hand, his gaze fixated on Tang Li on the screen.
So-called good acting is not about natural expressions or sincere emotions; those are just an actor’s basic skills. The real test of acting is how the actor blends themselves into a specific situation, or in other words, “if you’re playing sothing, you should look the part.” When you stand there, the audience don’t feel you are out of place, and they get pulled into the story.
A great actor, even if cast as a beggar by the roadside, can capture the audience’s attention more than a glamorous main character.
Tang Li’s makeup right now was far from beautiful.
Yet, it was this gloominess that left a deep impression with just one glance.
Just from this opening, one is already curious about the upcoming plot.
“Compared to Ying Xuaner in ‘Original Sin,’ Tang Li’s acting is even better,” said the scriptwriter of “The Brightest Star,” standing beside the director.
She lifted her head from the monitor and looked towards the staircase entrance: “I saw in the news online that Tang Li never had any professional training, and even if her skills were honed through acting in films, this progress seems too great!”
Towards the end, her words were filled with astonishnt.
As an experienced scriptwriter, she had seen many perforrs, including professional actors and those from other professions who turned to acting. eting soone with a natural acting talent like Tang Li was indeed rare.
“Perhaps, it’s truly a gift from the heavens,” the director comnted.
On the monitor screen, a small figure suddenly dashed in.
The director initially thought it was just a passerby and didn’t mind it, but unexpectedly, the child started to follow the cara.
Wherever the cara went, he would follow.
Munching on an ice cream cone, the little guy first looked at Tang Li, then at Guan Xiao: “Are you guys filming?”
“…” the director.
