Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 266 Using the Switch! Instantly Get into Character!!

Hearing Ah Jiao's excuse, Huo Wenxi remained unmoved and said:

"Do you still want to go back to the 'pure and innocent' image?"

"It's impossible now!"

"You really think you're so naive and innocent?"

"I've heard about it. You and him are practically inseparable on set!"

Ajiao stammered a little as she answered, "Mommy, that...that's because the director asked me to guide Lin Xingzhuo into the role."

"Also, our company doesn't allow artists to date..."

Huo Wenxi said impatiently, "Now you've remembered the company rules that forbid dating?"

"Alright, you can continue filming your scenes in 'Love in a Puff.' Seize this opportunity yourself!"

"Ah Jiao! You can do anything in the entertainment industry, but remember this! Either don't do it at all, or do it to the extreme!"

After hanging up the phone, Ajiao clicked on Qianqian Music Player on her laptop and continued playing Lin Xingzhuo's "Sorrow".

She understood what Huo Wenxi meant, of course.

There are three reasons why Ah Jiao is very resistant to the idea of ​​creating a romantic pairing with Lin Xingzhuo.

One is that her best friend Asa and Lin Xingzhuo have already been promoted as a couple.

She could sense that Asa liked Lin Xingzhuo very much, but she didn't know why, despite Asa's circumstances, she always spoke of Lin Xingzhuo with a tone of inferiority...

In addition, although Lin Xingzhuo has a nice voice, is talented, knowledgeable, rich and well-connected.

Her only drawback is that she's plain-looking.

Ah Jiao is a total looks-obsessed person!!

However, considering all the kindness Lin Xingzhuo has shown her, it's not impossible to make an exception...

However, the last reason is the most crucial one!

What happened last year has also helped Ah Jiao grow.

She came to a realization...

That means I'm really not that smart!

…………

Lin Xingzhuo is not some clueless, naive mainland artist who came to Hong Kong to make his way in the entertainment industry. Behind him is a powerful coal capital force!
Ah Jiao also saw some rumors on the Golden Forum discussion forum.

Monsters of this caliber are far beyond what her little brain can handle!
The company's unusual push for this made Ah Jiao even more apprehensive.

She was worried that if she didn't handle the situation well, she might end up being sold out by the company and made a scapegoat while still counting money for the boss.

…………

Ah Jiao unknowingly fell into a clever paradox.

If a person is not smart, but she is aware of her lack of intelligence, then she is intelligent in essence.

........................

In the days that followed, the filming of "Love in a Puff" progressed rapidly.

I thought that Ah Jiao's condition would worsen because of the news of Chen Guanxi's suspected comeback.

In particular, after Chen Guanxi finished his interview with CNN, his father, Chen Zemin, commissioned artists under his company to create a charity song called "I'm Not a Bad Kid" for his son.

Ying Cai'er also spoke out, saying that both she and Chen Guanxi were victims, and that her boyfriend Chen Xiaochun did not mind.

Hong Kong media interpreted Chen Guanxi's series of actions as a trial run for a comeback through music and charity...

…………

Chen Guanxi's comeback attempt tested the waters, causing the female protagonists of the incident to break down.

Among them, Zhang Bozhi recently gave an interview to Time magazine, which was her first interview since the incident.

During the interview, Zhang Bozhi angrily denounced the other party for never sincerely apologizing! She claimed the public statement was merely a publicity stunt! They failed to take responsibility for the actual harm done to the female star!!
Several other female celebrities also spoke out in protest...

In this situation, Chen Guanxi's comeback film, "The Sniper," saw his role significantly reduced, relegating him to a supporting character, and a large amount of promotional material was also deleted.

As for the movie "Jump Out," his scenes had to be completely deleted and replaced by other actors for reshoots.

…………

The day after the interview was released, another batch of works were exposed in the "Hong Kong Discussion Forum" image section of Tianya Community, including Zhang Bozhi's costume series.

There are also anonymous posts on the Golden Forum, and even more works.

Public opinion was immediately ignited again!
Zhang Bozhi immediately fell silent!
The following day, media outlets photographed Zhang Bozhi arriving in Taiwan with her eldest son, Lucas, citing "missing Taibei snacks" as the reason for starting a private trip.

They visited the filming location of Fan Weiqi's "Bang Bang Tang" program, and then, accompanied by Chen Jianzhou, had a spicy hot pot meal with Da Aisi and Makiyo.

Rumor has it that Cheung Po-chi even sent a private text message to Chan Kwan-hei to apologize and beg for leniency...

…………

A tech expert on Tianya Forum analyzed the photo and used Python to extract the shooting time.

The discovery was made in 2007 during the recording of the duet song "Rumors" by Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung... That year, Nicholas Tse recorded "Rumors" to commemorate their first wedding anniversary. He even went to Las Vegas to do the post-production himself as a gift to witness their love.

Nicholas Tse could never have imagined this.

While he was doing post-production work on music in Las Vegas, his car was stolen, modified with police car kit, and was even being kicked while standing up...

........................

Facing this media storm...

Ah Jiao didn't join in; she basically went between her apartment and the film set, and also bought snacks for Lin Xingzhuo.

However, the crew noticed that Ah Jiao's acting skills had improved significantly.

She quickly gets into character during filming and helps Lin Xingzhuo get into character as well, significantly reducing the number of takes.

Peng Haoxiang believes that his coaching has finally paid off!

The performance is not a solo act, but an interactive one.

Feedback from your fellow actors is crucial!
When an actress quickly gets into character and displays genuine sadness, anger, or love, that emotion is directly conveyed to the actor.

He was no longer performing for thin air or markers, but facing a real, emotional person.

A female actor's tearful, disappointed gaze can evoke more emotion in a male actor than any words, resulting in a more natural and authentic performance...

…………

So, when the crew recently held a rehearsal, director Peng Haoxiang praised Ah Jiao's improved acting skills.

Liang Qiyuan praised Ah Jiao as a resilient performer with a strong heart! Not only did she unleash her acting prowess under public pressure, but she also helped Lin Xingzhuo improve his acting skills!

The praise from the entire crew put pressure on the lead actress, Yang Qianhua…

Yang Qianhua was speechless. The other person was already eating it in the dressing room on the first day. How could she compare?
Ah Jiao, standing next to her, blushed deeply, as if she had remembered something. Her ears turned bright red, and she hurriedly went to the restroom...

…………

In fact, only Ajiao knew that it was all thanks to Lin Xingzhuo's "switch".

The initial effects weren't particularly dramatic...

However, as Lin Xingzhuo became more proficient in using it, the filming progress accelerated significantly!

Lin Xingzhuo was also enjoying herself and quickly got into character.

Stiff body language? Emotionless delivery? Off-key tone and rhythm?

A gentle touch, and you're instantly immersed in the story!

Even their eyes are completely different!! And there's a hint of shyness that's been manipulated!
Only downside

It is widely known that the ears are connected to the kidneys, and the tongue is connected to the heart!
This trick was used so frequently that Ah Jiao had to go to the toilet more often.

…………

This method of performance also has obvious side effects.

After all, once the distance between men and women is broken, the ambiguity in their relationship will soar!
Ah Jiao, who is so obsessed with looks, was making solemn promises to her agent Huo Xiwen last week, but this week her relationship with Lin Xingzhuo has inexplicably started to grow closer rapidly...

Ah Jiao usually brings Ah Sa and Lin Xingzhuo some baked char siu buns with crispy crust from Tim Ho Wan Dim Sum Shop, custard buns from Xinxing Food House, egg tarts from Tai Cheong, as well as Hong Kong-style milk tea and lemon tea...

At first, when Ajiao handed the food to Lin Xingzhuo, she was quite careful.

As filming progressed smoothly, Lin Xingzhuo was playing his newly purchased "The Legend of Zelda: The Land of the Whistle" on his NDS.

Ah Jiao directly fed Lin Xingzhuo Fang Shu's egg waffles from Chaoqun Bread & Pastry, and Lin Xingzhuo accidentally bit her finger.

…………

Seeing that the two were getting into the swing of things, director Peng Haoxiang decided to film the most important pool scene in the storyline of Zhang Zhiming and his ex-girlfriend Huiying's school memories...

Peng Haoxiang explained that the contrast between the fresh feeling of campus memories and urban romance in the adult world creates dramatic tension!
Zhang Youqian heard that director Peng Haoxiang was under pressure from the Emperor of Sound.

…………

Back then, The Emperor Entertainment tailored "Isabella" for its artist Liang Luoshi, and boldly appointed Peng Haoxiang, who was still a local nobody at the time, as the director.

This film earned Liang Luoshi the Best Actress award at the Portugal International Film Festival and a Hong Kong Film Award nomination, and also earned Peng Haoxiang a nomination for Best Film at the 56th Berlin International Film Festival.

As the only Chinese-language film nominated for the main competition that year, Peng Haoxiang became one of the few representatives of the new generation of Hong Kong directors to gain recognition from an international A-list film festival.

Peng Haoxiang's status as a director in the Hong Kong film industry has jumped from a director of niche cult films to a director of international awards.

Yin Huang has shown Peng Haoxiang great kindness, so his former employer should give him that much face!
…………

On Tuesday, the production crew specially rented the standard swimming pool at the Mrs. Ho Sai-kwong Sports Centre on Pok Fu Lam Road, Hong Kong University.

Before filming, director Peng Haoxiang and art director Zhong Chuting even did a mental simulation of Ah Jiao.

It means the swimsuit I prepared for you is very conservative and doesn't show too much skin, so you don't need to feel guilty.

After Ah Jiao changed into her swimsuit and came out of the changing room wrapped in a large bath towel.

She looked at the water in the pool in front of her and suddenly hesitated...
