Stanlanca is an internationally renowned director, with experience that no ordinary director can compare to. He’s seen the ups and downs of this circle thoroughly, and he himself has also experienced the career highs and lows.
This ti, shooting "Devil’s Sea 4" is also a testant to his courage in facing difficulties and continuing to take on challenges.
If one can glean so insights from Stanlanca’s words, it would be beneficial for life.
Angus was sowhat inspired by the director’s speech and couldn’t help but ask: "Does this an I will beco a top-tier star, living a life surrounded by champagne and beauties?"
Jinxia couldn’t help but chuckle.
The others were also amused by his naive statent.
Stanlanca also wanted to laugh, but he had to consider the self-esteem of this young lad in front of him. After all, he’s still a child who hasn’t yet entered the workforce or society and doesn’t understand its harshness, let alone the fierce competition in the entertainnt circle.
He turned and said, "Co on, Jinxia, share your thoughts. Now that it’s raining and we can’t shoot, let’s hold a eting to discuss the philosophy of life."
Jinxia’s eyes flickered slightly, sensing the director’s intention to nd her relationship with Angus.
After a mont of contemplation, she had an answer—the ladder handed over by the director couldn’t be refused!
A drama basically revolves around the male and female leads. If their relationship isn’t good, it can be difficult to deliver effective results during shooting.
Jinxia slowly said: "Since you’re a newcor, you can only be recognized by the audience by starring in a popular project, entering the ranks of secondary celebrities. To beco a top-tier star, you’ll have to star in several renowned dramas in your ho country; otherwise, with too few works, advancent becos an issue.
You might not know, to beco a top-tier star requires assessnt by specialized personnel, an overall evaluation of your popularity, fa, quantity and quality of works, audience preference, and comrcial value among other aspects.
You only have one work. Although its quality is good, quantity-wise you’re completely lacking."
Stanlanca humorously added: "Let alone this work hasn’t yet been released. You don’t know if it will be a hit or a flop, but there’s one thing you can rest assured—after airing you can beco a secondary actor, but which level of secondary depends on the heat."
Angus muttered, "I feel it’s still pretty simple..."
Jinxia said faintly, "That’s because you’re lucky."
Her thoughts wandered a bit as she shared her experience: "I debuted at the age of 16, initially as a girl group mber. I went through a very popular phase but eventually fell into a slump. The consequence of indulgent eating and indiscriminate drug use was that my body rapidly expanded to two hundred pounds."
"Good heavens!"—soone couldn’t help but cry out.
Angus also looked at her in astonishnt, unable to imagine that the slim woman before him was once two hundred pounds!
Jinxia smiled nonchalantly: "So four years later, I almost had to retreat to tertiary, leave the entertainnt circle, and find a job."
"I was thinking at the ti if I couldn’t shed that fat, it really would be better to quit. Otherwise, even participating in a program I’d be attacked by the guests on-site, making fun of my figure. Though as a star one should dedicate oneself for entertainnt’s sake, amusing others is also a charm, but I still don’t like that."
Angus asked curiously, "So you?"
Stanlanca smilingly answered for Jinxia, "So she made a public declaration on the show that if she didn’t successfully lose weight, she’d exit the entertainnt circle, sparking a buzz online.
Precisely because of this, she gained so attention and received a film offer, which was coincidentally a weight-loss movie."
Angus guessed along, "Jinxia successfully lost weight in the movie, and then her popularity surged?"
Jinxia nodded and shook her head: "Gaining popularity is true, but I didn’t actually get very famous. Even though I transitioned to being an actress as the leading lady, the roles I later got were all supporting roles, lacking a bit of heat compared to leads, unless I went for niche films."
Stanlanca again smilingly said, "She did a supporting actress drama and then a niche artistic film as the lead, which had three female leads with each having about half an hour of screen ti. That film was released a year later, but—"
Stanlanca stopped speaking, simply looking at Jinxia.
Jinxia showed a wry smile, feeling the director was too clever. Actually, she really didn’t want to brag, but unfortunately, the director just set a trap for her.
She coughed and said: "That artistic film won Berlin’s Crystal Bear."
"Wow!"—a staff mber exclaid once again.
Jinxia selectively recounted so later events. "...even if my achievents are quite good, major films are still hard to obtain. Getting an invitation from Stanlanca this ti was only possible because Director Wilson strongly recomnded to him; it’s a really hard-earned opportunity."
Stanlanca concluded: "So Angus, you now know how lucky you are, right?"
Angus was sowhat embarrassed, "Director, I understand, you don’t have to emphasize it repeatedly..."
Stanlanca gave him a sideways glance: "You youngster never learns. If I don’t say it multiple tis, you’ll start thinking too highly of yourself."
Everyone sweats: Are you sure it’s not about emphasizing how joining your film is a great honor?
The rain outside subsided a bit, and Stanlanca didn’t waste ti, finishing this philosophical discussion.
"Prepare to shoot. It’s rare for it to rain today; let’s finish all of the rainy scenes today. Also, Angus, even more attractive actors are working hard, get your mind straight and stop playing childish gas. Focus seriously on acting!"
Angus gloomily replied, feeling his tall image was shattered by the director.
Now, the whole crew knew him...
Angus wasn’t aware of the gap between soone freshly entering the acting industry with talent and soone who has been imrsed in the acting industry for a long ti, especially like Jinxia, who lacks neither talent nor effort, as an "aging" actress.
But that didn’t matter, because during the subsequent clash of performances between the male and female leads, he clearly felt the difference between the two.
Amidst the wind and rain, the captain of the Ghost Ship ca to the deck, intending to recruit the Elf Princess.
Once he appeared, the Elf Princess noticed him, and Flais’ cold gaze shot over—
It was like an eagle’s cold sharpness, yet like so large predatory animal devoid of emotion, gloomy and haunting, a gaze that made one’s heart pound!
Angus was stunned, the lines stuck in his mouth, unable to speak!
His mind montarily blanked, under her gaze, he actually felt nervous!
