Good dubbing can make the audience more engaged in the plot, achieving twice the effect with half the effort.
A glint of interest flickered in He Jinxia’s eyes, This actor is no ordinary one!
She sat up a little straighter, imrsing herself in the viewing.
In the scene, the actors playing immortal maids heard the question and one of them, bowing her head, replied softly, "Princess, Emperor Qingmu hasn’t returned to the Imperial Palace."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yun furrowed her brow and muttered, "That’s not right, Bai Ze had left a ssage saying he had to return to the palace for sothing. I thought he hadn’t co back to the Saint Hall because he was caught up in sothing at the Imperial Palace... Turns out he didn’t return?"
With a woman’s sharp intuition, Yu Yun sensed that sothing was very wrong. Her gaze sharpened, and she waved her hand, adjusting her sleeves solemnly, "Alright, I understand. You may leave."
The immortal maids all replied, "Yes, Princess."
As the actors slowly retreated and left the fra, all that was left in the shot was Yu Yun. The on-site staff, including He Jinxia, couldn’t help but turn their eyes towards her.
He Xirui took a few steps forward, then paused, seemingly struck by a thought. Her expression slightly altered, she turned and walked in another direction.
Her actions were smooth and flowing, not prompting Director Liu to call "cut".
Only after He Xirui exited the fra did Director Liu call out, "Alright, this scene is finished! Let’s move to the next one!"
After pondering for a mont, He Jinxia lowered her gaze. Cheng Xiaohua appeared from nowhere beside her, bringing her a bowl of soup and saying,
"Just made fresh pear soup; here, drink it while it’s hot. It’ll moisturize your lungs. I’ve heard you coughing these past few nights, you really should take care of yourself."
He Jinxia took the soup, blew on it gently, and took a sip. The taste was slightly sweet and quite delicious.
As she drank, Cheng Xiaohua whispered in her ear about what other soups were to co. By the ti she finished speaking, He Jinxia’s bowl was almost empty.
Finally, Cheng Xiaohua asked, "You just watched He Xirui’s performance, what do you think? Her acting skills are quite impressive, aren’t they?"
He Jinxia finished the last sip of soup and nodded, "Better than I had imagined. She could indeed play a leading role; her acting is better than many lead actresses in other crews."
Cheng Xiaohua said, "That’s why many directors like her. She’s serious about acting and respectful towards her craft. Despite her temper, she has the makings of a lead actress, but they get a great deal by casting her in supporting roles."
He Jinxia thought for a mont and then gently shook her head, "That’s not necessarily the case."
Cheng Xiaohua furrowed her brow, "What do you an not necessarily?"
He Jinxia smiled faintly, her aning profound, "It’s not necessarily that no director wants her as their leading lady."
She continued leisurely, "He Xirui’s acting is a kind of assurance that having her as the lead will not let the drama collapse. The roles of lead and supporting actresses are different, and their significance is different as well."
"Being the leading lady is like being the spiritual symbol of a television series. Each leading lady is chosen with extre care unless the series is not expected to be a big success, in which case they might go with newcors."
"Given He Xirui’s ability, casting her in a supporting role underutilizes her talent. Giving her a lead role would enhance her value considerably, as not every actress suited for a leading role has skills as good as hers."
Cheng Xiaohua thought for a mont and then understood.
Indeed, after all, not every lead actress in each drama could be as formidable as Jinxia. The several TV series she had watched recently had lead actresses who honestly didn’t perform as well as He Xirui!
"Then why doesn’t He Xirui take on the role of the lead actress, according to your logic, there should also be directors sending her scripts for the lead role," Sister Xiao Hua asked doubtfully.
In response, He Jinxia just shrugged her shoulders, "That question, I think only He Xirui herself would know."
Cheng Xiaohua’s expression imdiately fell, and she looked at He Jinxia suspiciously several tis, "I always feel that you’ve figured sothing out, know a bit of the reason, but you just won’t tell ."
He Jinxia’s face lifted with a hint of a smile, and she patted her shoulder, said, "No, you’re overthinking it. Didn’t you say there’s more soup waiting for to drink? Hurry up and cook it!"
Cheng Xiaohua: "You really do know sothing, see, now you’re just trying to send away and not answer my question."
He Jinxia still smiled.
Seeing that she couldn’t pry anything out of Jinxia, Cheng Xiaohua left, feeling regretful.
After she left, He Jinxia stood up and entered the indoor set where the crew was filming, her expression calm.
She had previously looked up information on He Xirui and discovered that she had started in the entertainnt circle playing supporting roles, with her initial projects being quite large and important.
She didn’t start like a typical actor from minor roles and slowly climb up to playing significant supporting characters.
He Xirui’s debut had been too smooth, starting directly with significant supporting roles. Initially, because her acting was raw, she was often criticized by netizens, but as she perford more, her acting continuously improved, and gradually, there were fewer criticisms and more praises.
From the very beginning, He Jinxia subtly sensed that He Xirui was not just an ordinary person and certainly not like other celebrities who completely struggled from zero.
It was very likely that He Xirui had soone powerful supporting her!
Because He Xirui started too young and was underaged, He Jinxia initially ruled out the possibility of a financial sponsor, leaning more towards the idea that He Xirui ca from a notable family.
But there was a contradiction here, if her family background was really significant, and now that her acting wasn’t bad either, why hasn’t she taken on any lead roles yet?
It was either He Xirui herself had refused, or her family was not letting her take them.
With her vast experience, He Jinxia imagined a scenario where a rich girl entered the entertainnt circle out of interest, her family fully supported and protected her, but because her family feared the threats she might face from becoming too popular or for other reasons, they only allowed her to play supporting roles and not the lead.
This would avoid the risks of sudden fa and the risks of her family background being exposed.
He Jinxia was not sure if her thoughts were correct, but she had a feeling they were very close to the truth, given how different He Xirui was from other actors.
From what she had observed, none of the celebrities mingling in the entertainnt circle would show their real selves in front of the public; everyone was crafting a positive image for the netizens.
But He Xirui wouldn’t do that; she didn’t hide her temper, and seeing how she cursed her assistants openly on the set, "bad temper" her reputation had spread throughout the entertainnt circle, it was clear that He Xirui didn’t fear her image being damaged.
