Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 112 - You can still kiss after breaking up!

What do you think I'm thinking?

Liu Shishi glanced at Bai Ye sitting next to her, her resentment deepening.

Seeing the two of them like this, Sun Yizhou, who had originally planned to come over and talk to Bai Ye about the contract, immediately knew better and ran away.

Something's not right with these two!
Old Bai really has good luck with women!
Sun Yizhou had previously seen Jing Tian clinging to Bai Ye when they were on the set of "With You".

There is also Liu Shishi now.

Being handsome really makes a difference.
"Old Sun, what's going on with those two?!"

Lin Genxin stared wide-eyed, like a silly husky, and cheekily approached Sun Yizhou, asking a question out of curiosity.

Lin Genxin was a complete newcomer in the crew. Although he and Liu Shishi were from the same company, there was a difference in their status, so he naturally didn't dare to get too close to them.

Then there's Bai Ye, whose status is even higher.

As a newcomer, if I rashly approach people, they might have a bad impression of me.

As for Sun Yizhou, although he gained fame because of Love Apartment, The Best of Us also helped him reach a higher level.

However, the difference between the two is not that great, and because they are of the same sex, there are still some differences between her and Liu Shishi.

So, after a while, with Lin and Xin taking the initiative, their relationship grew quite close.

"How would I know? They might just be rehearsing their lines!"

Sun Yizhou shook his head, though he sensed something was off between the two.

However, Sun Yizhou would never do something like spreading gossip about others.

So even though he had some suspicions, Sun Yizhou didn't intend to say them out loud.

Lin Genxin, on the other hand, didn't believe Sun Yizhou's words at all.

The confusion on his face masked his inner turmoil; was this some kind of acting?

They seem a bit like a couple.

Speaking of which, could the previous rumors have been true?
Lin and Xin thought about it silently for a moment, but in the end they suppressed the thought.

They went to eat boxed lunches with Sun Yizhou on the side.

Forget it
Why bother with this? Let's eat first.

People walked by in a bustling crowd, and Liu Shishi opened the lunchbox but immediately closed it again.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?"

Bai Ye looked up at Liu Shishi in surprise.

This afternoon was going to be hard work.

If you don't eat, the filming won't be good later.

He was different; he ate with great relish!
Seeing Bai Ye eating with such gusto, Liu Shishi said somewhat irritably, "There are so many people walking around, I feel embarrassed to eat, and I also felt that my performance this morning wasn't very good."

So I think…

"What are you thinking about? You've already reached your limit this morning!"

Before Liu Shishi could finish speaking, Bai Ye interrupted her.

The performance that morning, especially the later parts, was probably due to the influence of his own "halo" attribute.

This allowed Liu Shishi to showcase her peak acting skills; as for what she needs to do next, she needs to surpass herself.

Bai Ye was certain that the entry could not be broken through for Liu Shishi unless she herself comprehended the Dao.

Otherwise, her performance this morning would probably have been Liu Shishi's peak, but that's about it.

Based on Bai Ye's understanding of the character from the script and the insights gained from Ke Jingteng's biography, Liu Shishi's peak acting skills are capable of handling the role of Shen Jiayi.

So you think my acting is bad?

As Liu Shishi spoke softly, her resentment deepened.

Is this guy a dog?

"It's not bad. The main problem is your eye acting. Your eyes are a bit lifeless, but apart from that, I haven't seen any major flaws yet."

Perhaps it was because I saw Liu Shishi's acting skills at their peak.

So, apart from occasionally looking listless, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

What Bai Ye found somewhat strange was that even with Liu Shishi's peak acting skills, there was still a moment when her eyes looked lifeless!
"My acting teacher mentioned this before. Although I can control it, it sometimes happens unconsciously!"

When asked about the lack of luster in her eyes, Liu Shishi did not refute it.

That's what my previous acting coach said about me.

Thinking back to how Bai Ye had been able to guide her into the role and watch the performance, and how she herself had been able to quickly get into character, Liu Shishi suddenly realized what was happening.

Isn't there a wonderful teacher right in front of us?!

"Bai Ye, I want to practice!"

"Huh!? You're not eating?"

Not
Why have you suddenly stopped eating?
"I'll treat you to a fancy dinner tonight!"

Liu Shishi stared intently at Bai Ye; the scene that afternoon was extremely important.

So she wanted to bring out her best self.

Since Bai Ye was able to get him into character before...

Liu Shishi felt that it should be okay later.

"Alright then, I won't hold back tonight!"

Bai Ye ate a couple more bites, then drank some water before getting up and leaving with Liu Shishi.

To rehearse, I found a room.

Liu Shishi held the script and stared intently at Bai Ye.

"Senior Sister, are you sure you're here to rehearse a scene?"

"Otherwise, what do you want to do?"

"I want to cough. No, I mean, the way you look at me before."

"Stop!!! Stop right now!!!"

Judging from what Bai Ye hadn't said yet, but was about to say,...

Liu Shishi also knew what Bai Ye was going to say.

So, before that, this is how she viewed Bai Ye?!

Liu Shishi muttered to herself, but immediately suppressed the thought.

No!

I can't think about this. I came here to rehearse with Bai Ye, not to do lewd things.

"Bai Ye, we're here to rehearse our lines!"

Liu Shishi looked at Bai Ye intently, determined to bring him back to the right path.

"I know, Senior Sister, that's what I was thinking too."

"."

Is that really what you think?

Liu Shishi didn't want to expose Bai Ye's thoughts, even though she had some ideas of her own.

First, rehearse the scene.

"Senior Sister, let's rehearse the scene first. I think you only need to change two points."

"Two dots?!"

Liu Shishi originally thought she had a lot of problems.

But after hearing what Bai Ye said, it seems that he only needs to change two points?
That problem doesn't seem to be too big?

"Those two points?" Liu Shishi asked curiously.

She wants to progress so much.

"First of all, there's the gradual change in Shen Jiayi's feelings for Ke Jingteng. Because the filming didn't go in sequence, sometimes you might misunderstand your own emotions."

At this point, Shen Jiayi didn't have these feelings for Ke Jingteng, but you portrayed a feeling that would develop later.

The way Liu Shishi looked at me and the expression on her face before.

That's clearly something that happens later in the story. Why would Shen Jiayi look at Ke Jingteng with that expression in the early episodes?!

So at that time, Liu Shishi didn't immerse herself in the role; instead, she immersed herself in it.

"I know that. Director Lin corrected me before, and I will pay attention to it in the future. But I also need your help. If I'm in a bad mood, I might need you to guide me!"

Liu Shishi readily admitted to the matter.

She had been scolded by Lin Yufen for this before, so of course she wouldn't forget it so quickly.

"And then there's the eye contact, which is basically Shen Jiayi's stare. This is very crucial in the movie, that kind of look."
I can't explain it. Look at my eyes, that's the look I'm giving you."

As he spoke, Bai Ye tried his best to recreate Shen Jiayi's expression.

That kind of glare, reminiscent of Shen Jiayi, is also key to the character of Shen Jiayi.

In the early stages, Shen Jiayi was a character who drove the male protagonist's growth.

If something is too formulaic, then you need to create some memorable aspects of the character.

This Shen Jiayi-style stare is one example.

However, Liu Shishi's eye acting is a relatively weak point.

I'll give this a try.

After learning a thing or two from Bai Ye, Liu Shishi couldn't wait to try it out.

She felt like she had learned it.

Then, the next second, looking at the eyes glaring at him, this...
"Senior Sister, you're making it sound like I'm your enemy."

"Huh?! Isn't that right?"

Liu Shishi felt somewhat embarrassed.

She originally thought she had grasped the essence of the character.

Then I thought I'd give it a try.

Is it really that loose?!

"Senior Sister, come here. I remember there's a mirror here, come here and see for yourself!"

After saying that, Bai Ye pulled Liu Shishi directly in front of the mirror.

Then let her continue releasing.

The best way to practice eye contact is by looking in a mirror.

Repeatedly adjust the focus of your pupils in front of the mirror.

"Senior Sister, let me tell you a simple secret: when Ke Jingteng is being childish and showing off, Shen Jiayi's eyes should droop slightly with a hint of reproach."

When he confessed his feelings, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes flickered like shattered moonlight on a lake.

Of course, there's no confession in the movie, since they lack the courage, but when that moment comes, that's how your eyes will look.

It can be roughly divided into several stages.

First, there's the initial dislike, so at that time you need to have a slightly dislike look in your eyes.

You've already covered this scene, so I won't go into it.

Then comes the phase of changing perception after the initial acquaintance, which is the English textbook incident.

If Shen Jiayi weren't so pretentious, she would be quite adorable. Seeing this would change one's opinion of Ke Jingteng for the first time.

Then comes the process from supervision to falling in love, which is the hint of tutoring time and the ponytail.

The next turning point was the conflict between the two of them being separated by university and the fighting competition. Shen Jiayi couldn't understand his childish behavior, and the two had a fierce argument as a result.

Then came the fantasy of a parallel universe after that phone call, from resentment to relief, and finally the wedding from regret to perfection.

Shen Jiayi watched Ke Jingteng interact with the groom, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

There are roughly five stages.

Shen Jiayi's emotional changes towards Ke Jingteng are also represented by these five turning points, which is basically a relatively simple structure.

Changes in eyes, expression, mood, and emotions.

Once you understand the changes in this character during these different periods, it won't be difficult to portray Shen Jiayi well.

"I understand."

Liu Shishi remembered everything Bai Ye said, and then he summarized it like this.

She felt that the role wasn't too difficult.

After relaxing, Liu Shishi suddenly wanted to talk about other things.

"Do you think all men are like Ko Ching-teng?!"

In the movie, Ko Ching-teng lacks the courage to confess his feelings to the girl he likes, and his immaturity leads him to lose her.

"Probably, since guys are generally more insecure when they're around girls who are better off than them."

"Do you think our current situation is somewhat similar to that of the characters in the movie?"

Liu Shishi said quietly.

Sometimes, she can actually empathize with the character.

However, after she asked the question, she didn't wait for Bai Ye's reply. Instead, she was pulled into Bai Ye's arms.

This sudden movement startled Liu Shishi. "Hey, what are you doing?!"

"You seem pretty vulnerable right now, Senior Sister. Shall I give you a hug?!"

Bai Ye said with a grin, looking at Bai Ye's grinning face through the mirror.

Liu Shishi is certain of one thing.

That means Bai Ye can't be Ke Jingteng; that guy isn't the kind of person who's obsessed with saving face.

Their skin is as thick as a city wall.

"Then forget it. Let's rehearse first. I don't want to mess things up this afternoon!"

Liu Shishi paused for a moment, but ultimately swallowed her words.

She decided to rehearse the lines first.

The main reason is that the scene in the afternoon is too important. Besides, in this room, a hug is fine, but what if someone comes later?

If others see it, they won't be able to explain it clearly.

Although Liu Shishi felt that it didn't matter if she didn't explain.

I'm single, and Bai Ye is single, so what's wrong with two single people hugging each other?!
The worst that can happen is that their relationship will be exposed.

"Senior Sister."

"Hmm~"

Liu Shishi turned her head following the sound and looked at Bai Ye's eyes.

The intensity in his eyes.

She instinctively tried to avoid Bai Ye's gaze, but before she could act, Bai Ye kissed her directly.

Faced with the sudden kiss, Liu Shishi did not refuse, but turned around and hugged Bai Ye's neck.

She had actually been waiting for quite a while.

Although she said she wouldn't get back together with Bai Ye for the time being, but...
Before, Bai Ye seemed so serious, and she thought he really didn't have any thoughts at all!
Quite a while.

The two had just separated when Liu Shishi gave him a watery glare and asked, "Can we rehearse now?!"

Really.
"I asked you to rehearse a scene with me, what on earth are you thinking?!"

Although her words were full of reproach, her tone sounded more like she was coaxing Bai Ye.

Liu Shishi is a little flustered now, and she has to say something to cover up her inner turmoil!
"Isn't that making up for the regret?!"

"Make up for regrets? What regrets do you have!"

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes. Was Bai Ye saying this to make up for the character's shortcomings?

Um.
That's a really strong reason.

After Liu Shishi realized what had happened, she was somewhat impressed by how thick-skinned Bai Ye really was.

"That makes up for the regret. Focus on rehearsing the scene well. If I don't perform well this afternoon, I'll blame you!!!"

The purpose of having Bai Ye act alongside them is not to allow Bai Ye to take advantage of the situation.

All right.

Now that she's gotten the best deal, Liu Shishi feels it's about time to start rehearsing her lines properly.

Let's hope that someone actually comes and it turns out to be a lunch break scenario.

Besides, the scene that afternoon was so important; if it were just a simple scene, Liu Shishi wouldn't have said anything.

But Lin Yufen had emphasized to herself several times before that this role was very important.

She couldn't possibly not take it seriously.

Moreover, judging from Bai Ye's gaze, Liu Shishi felt that if she didn't remind him, he might go even further!
