Huayu Entertainment: Starting with Exorcising Evil from a Film Queen

Tang Yan walked in with a smile, carrying several large insulated buckets.

"I've made some soup, everyone come and have a taste!"

Her arrival immediately enlivened the atmosphere on set, and many people gathered around her.

Tang Yan first served soup to Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, and then brought a bowl to Zhang Ze, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Brother Ze, this was specially saved for you."

Before Zhang Ze could speak, Yang Mi leaned over and nudged him lightly with her elbow.

"Wow, you've only just joined the crew and you've already captivated Tangtang's heart."

As she spoke, she peeked into the thermos of soup, deliberately drawing out her words, "Oh my, it's a special edition."

Tang Yan's face turned even redder, and she glared at Yang Mi reproachfully, "Mi Mi, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Yang Mi chuckled and didn't argue with her. Instead, she turned to Zhang Ze, blinked her eyes, and looked curious and inquisitive.

"Honestly, Zhang Ze, I was quite taken aback when we acted together just now. How did your acting skills suddenly become so amazing?"

She looked completely surprised. "Teach me quickly, what's the secret?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ze instantly recalled countless online criticisms of Yang Mi's acting skills from his previous life.

The queen of filming multiple projects at once, her expressions are fixed and monotonous.

His thoughts drifted for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he forced an awkward yet polite smile.

"It's hopeless, just wait to die. Goodbye."

Yang Mi's smile froze instantly.

The next second, she broke down and slapped Zhang Ze on the shoulder.

"Are you trying to die?!"

Then Yang Mi simply stretched out her arm and hugged Zhang Ze's arm, hanging her whole body on it, the soft touch clearly transmitted to her.

"No way! You have to teach me today!" she declared unreasonably, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness. "Otherwise, I'm not done with you! Don't forget, you still owe me several meals!"

The warm breath on his arm made Zhang Ze's body stiffen involuntarily.

The dazzling white expanse and the wet, sticky feeling on the high-speed train once again uncontrollably surfaced in my mind.

He felt guilty.

"Okay, okay, I surrender, I'll teach you, I'll teach you, alright?" Zhang Ze immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"That's more like it!"

Yang Mi finally released him with satisfaction, and then grabbed his wrist without saying a word.

"Let's go find something to eat! We can teach while we eat!"

As they spoke, they dragged him out of the film set.

Tang Yan stood there, holding the bowl of soup, watching the two figures walk away intimately. Her lips pouted slightly, and a strange sense of loss welled up in her heart.

She looked down at the soup in her hand, then at the empty doorway, and muttered something under her breath.

"I am Zixuan, the one with whom Xu Changqing has a three-lifetime love affair..."

Not far away, Hu Ge took in the whole scene. He turned his head and gave his assistant a meaningful smile.

"See, I told you Brother Ze wasn't an ordinary person."

His voice was low, with a hint of mischievousness, as if he were enjoying the spectacle.

"He's only been on set for a few days, and he's already stolen the hearts of two of the most beautiful women in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3."

……

Inside a small restaurant outside the film set.

Yang Mi pulled Zhang Ze along and found a corner to sit down, familiar with the place.

"This is it! My secret canteen in Hengdian!"

She proudly introduced, "Don't let the small size of the place fool you, the taste is absolutely the best in Hengdian."

She ordered a large table of dishes, but once the food arrived, her mind was not on the food at all.

Yang Mi picked up her chopsticks, but didn't eat anything; she just looked at Zhang Ze across from her.

"Tell me honestly, what's wrong with your acting?"

Zhang Ze, an extra who spends most of his time in Hengdian and has never even attended a professional acting school, could never have delivered such an amazing performance in his first scene.

Yang Mi is a former child star. Although her acting skills are somewhat lacking, she has a keen eye and can tell at a glance that Zhang Ze's performance is absolutely top-notch. Even those actors with formal training didn't have Zhang Ze's talent when they first entered the industry.

Zhang Ze certainly couldn't say that he got his points by adding them to the panel.

He was already prepared and calmly replied, "I taught myself by reading books when I had nothing else to do."

"Reading books?" Yang Mi clearly didn't believe it.

"Yes, for example, books like 'An Actor Prepares' and 'Building a Character.' After reading them a lot and reflecting on them on your own, you'll always gain some insights."

Zhang Ze casually rattled off the names of several professional books.

Yang Mi was skeptical, but recalling Zhang Ze's performance on set and his profound understanding of the character, she couldn't help but believe him a little more.

"You're this good just from reading books? You're a genius!"

She sighed, then immediately moved closer, her attitude becoming eager, "No, you have to teach me!"

Zhang Ze certainly wouldn't refuse.

Although his acting skills were acquired through practice, the knowledge and insights that flooded his mind were all genuine.

"If you want to learn, let me see where your problems lie first."

Zhang Ze put down his chopsticks. "Now you're going to act out a scene of Xuejian being unruly."

Yang Mi immediately got into character, hands on her hips, head held high, almond eyes wide open.

But Zhang Ze only glanced at it and shook his head.

He spoke directly, pointing out the errors without any politeness.

"Your expression is too stiff, and your movements are too exaggerated. Look at your hand, it's almost hitting my face."

"You're telling the audience that I'm going to start playing a spoiled person, not that you are that spoiled person."

"You haven't grasped the essence of acting at all."

Yang Mi's acting instantly crumbled, and a blush of shame and indignation spread from the base of her neck to her ears.

She wished she could poke holes in Zhang Ze with her eyes.

Seeing that she was about to breathe fire, Zhang Ze reluctantly turned to the main topic and began to guide her.

"You need to understand the core of the character first. Why is Xuejian so willful? It's her protective shell. You have to find that core first, and then express it through your outward expressions and actions in a reasonable way."

"You also need to provide timely feedback with your personal facial expressions; you can't just use the same expression throughout."

Under Zhang Ze's careful guidance, Yang Mi took a deep breath and tried again.

This time, she didn't make any exaggerated movements; she just stood there quietly, but her aura was completely different.

Even the restaurant owner, who was watching the commotion, stopped wiping the tables and couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing! Young man, you're truly amazing!"

Yang Mi was completely convinced.

She felt that Zhang Ze's casual words of advice were more valuable than her own.

She clung to Zhang Ze, her tone laced with a coquettish glint, "From now on, you have to give me pointers every day on set!"

Zhang Ze has no problem with it.

"This meal is on me!" Yang Mi said happily, waving her hand and paying the bill directly.

The next day, during a break on set.

As expected, Yang Mi kept her word and pulled Zhang Ze aside in a corner for a private discussion, debating the performance details of the next scene.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, and Tang Yan, who were not far away.
