Actors in the entertainnt circle place great importance on the first role that makes a deep impression on the audience.
Because audiences often form first impressions that last, if your initial role leaves a too deep impression, subsequent roles will struggle to surpass it, and the actor’s range will be severely limited.
Years ago, a very famous urban cody remained so compelling that a decade later, viewers imdiately recalled the characters played by the actors in that cody.
Even after trying countless different types of roles since that cody, in the eyes of the audience, even when they played villains, they still carried a codic flair.
Wang Tian initially helped Shu Wan land this role in a costu drama, mainly because he thought she was well-suited for period roles and could gain public recognition through her stunning portrayal.
But he never imagined that Shu Wan would portray the character as if it truly existed, as if Shu Wan wasn’t acting at all but was genuinely that villain.
"Baby, your acting is too good, so good it’s almost a bad thing."
Wang Tian casually flipped through the comnts in Shu Wan’s social dia, and every third comnt was scolding Shu Wan as a vile and wicked woman, which was simply unbearable to watch.
"Am I really that bad?"
Shu Wan had encountered all sorts of people, and this ti her character Su Wan was a combination of traits from the favored consorts in the Imperial Palace.
From Shu Wan’s perspective, those favored consorts seed arrogant and incredibly malicious.
But from their perspective, they probably felt helpless and never thought what they did was wrong, they were just being pushed forward by fate.
"Exactly, that’s the spirit!"
Although Wang Tian couldn’t act, he managed many artists and could tell whether their performances were good.
Why Shu Wan’s acting felt so imrsive was because she rged completely with her character during the performance.
Many actors’ skills appear exaggerated because they have a godly perspective; they know whether their character is good, bad, or beautiful.
During acting-for-the-sake-of-acting, traces of contrivance inevitably appear.
But Shu Wan was different, she didn’t perceive her character as evil when playing a villain; she was the character, and how could the character think their actions were wrong?
Thus, the characters Shu Wan portrayed were infused with her own soul, naturally making the audience enjoy the performance but also hate the character genuinely.
So much so, because they hated the role played by Shu Wan so much, people started criticizing the school movie she was about to star in.
In the original novel, the role played by Shu Wan was similar to a "white moonlight" type, a vague callia in everyone’s youthful dreams.
[Shu Wan should just keep playing villains, don’t ruin my school campus’s white moonlight, who’s white moonlight is a demonic woman who laughs while killing?]
[I admit Shu Wan plays a villain well, I close my eyes and I can see that smirk of hers, I really can’t stand her in a school movie, seriously, it’s terrifying.]
[If this isn’t typecasting, how can she act so convincingly? Shu Wan must be just as duplicitously malicious in reality, and her poor stepson is so naïve, he might not even know if Shu Wan kills him one day.]
Crazy fans went on to Fu Yang’s account to warn him, telling Fu Yang to beware of Shu Wan, that she would definitely harm him.
In today’s entertainnt circle, where there are celebrities, there are fan circles, and fans love to ddle in their idols’ lives.
Especially young boys like Fu Yang, who have many fans treating them like sons, naturally love to discipline Fu Yang with a "motherly fan" approach.
From the ti Fu Yang started participating in variety shows, many accused Shu Wan, believing his quirky personality was unsuitable for reality TV, and that he would receive a lot of backlash.
Fans felt Shu Wan did it intentionally to ruin Fu Yang’s reputation.
After Fu Yang accepted a low-budget school movie, the discontent towards Shu Wan grew because they believed Fu Yang, being a student, should focus on his studies and only play high-end roles if he had to make a cao, not in a low-budget film.
Now, having seen Shu Wan’s performance in "Yun Ni," fans are more convinced than ever that everything was a sche orchestrated by Shu Wan to destroy Fu Yang.
