Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Chapter 194, "The Shishi Transformation Project," is launched!

"Hello, I'm looking for Shen Can."

At 1 p.m., a beautiful woman with a low ponytail, wearing a white down jacket and light blue jeans appeared at the entrance of Lan Fenghuang's office. She was accompanied by a slightly older female assistant.

Even though the woman was wearing a down jacket, her slender figure was still evident. Her fresh, refined, elegant appearance and aloof demeanor caused the employees in the office to momentarily lose their composure.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if they were seeing a fairy.

"Wow, it's so beautiful?"

As Huang Ying was fetching water, she caught sight of the woman and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Xu Xinran and Wan Qian are both great beauties, so much so that Huang Ying has seen a lot of the world and her immunity to women's beauty has been greatly increased.

The beauty of an ordinary woman wouldn't even catch her eye, but the woman in front of her made her, as a woman herself, think that she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Is that Liu Shishi?" Huang Ying asked, looking at the poised and elegant woman.

Shen Can had already told Liu Shishi that she would be coming to the company that afternoon, so his question was simply to confirm it.

Shishi gave a soft "Mmm".

"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to find General Manager Shen. Um—Brother Zhou, could you please take them to the conference room?"

After Shishi finished speaking, she walked towards Can's personal office.

Unexpectedly, in the office, not only Brother Zhou stood up, but also Brother Zhao, Brother Li, Brother Zhang, and Brother Wang—

They all stood up.

Shi Shi and her assistant were completely baffled.

Fortunately, she wasn't oblivious to her own beauty, and with a gentle smile, she asked, "Could someone please show me around?"

brush.

All the male colleagues in the office raised their hands, vying to be the first to volunteer.

"What kind of talk is this! Sit down, all of you!" Zhang Jun shouted coldly when he saw this, and then walked over to Shishi.

"Please." Zhang Jun led the way.

the other side.

Huang Ying walked to the door of Shen Can's office.

She had originally considered taking Liu Shishi directly to Shen Can's office, but she had just seen Xu Xinran go in and close the door. Who knows what the two bosses were doing in the room?

To be on the safe side, she should go and ask first.

"They probably won't do anything in broad daylight, right? Besides, don't men have a cooldown period? Brother Can shouldn't be that strong, right?" Huang Ying thought to herself.

If Shen Can knew, he would probably want to teach her a lesson.

Sometimes, the differences between people are greater than the differences between people and dogs.

"Ding ding dong." Huang Ying knocked on the office door.

A few seconds later, the office door opened.

The person who opened the door was Shen Can, while Xu Xinran was sitting in Shen Can's office chair, staring at the computer, seemingly looking at something.

However, Huang Ying noticed that Shen Can had lipstick marks on his lips and that Xu Xinran's top was a little disheveled, and she was speechless.

Suddenly, the idiom "to do something in broad daylight" popped into her mind.

Good guy.

Do you guys really have no sense of occasion?

Huang Ying tried her best not to look at Xu Xinran, fearing that Xinran would feel embarrassed. She took a deep breath and stared at Shen Can with her bright, watery eyes, saying, "Liu Shishi is here, in the conference room."

"I'll be right there," Shen Can said with a slight smile.

"Brother Can—" Huang Ying pointed to her lips: "I have lipstick on—"

Shen Can turned and gave Xu Xinran a mischievous look, which immediately made Xu Xinran blush.

Having an affair but being discovered by an employee — that's a bit of a social disaster.

Five minutes later, inside the meeting room.

Shen Can met Shi Shi and looked at her beautiful oval face.

"Sister Shishi, we meet again."

That's the good thing about being young; everyone treats you like an older sister.

It's said that both Shi Shi and Liu Yifei were born in 87, but Shi Shi is a few months older than Liu Yifei.

He's about two and a half years older than Shen Can.

"Teacher Shen Can." Shi Shi smiled brightly. Her voice wasn't the soft, sweet type, but she loved to laugh, and her laughter was...

Actually, she's a bit of a charismatic figure—as anyone who's seen her interview videos knows, she has a nickname: "Liu Hahahahahahahaha."

Her hearty laughter has earned her a lot of fans.

Who wouldn't love to see a beautiful woman smile?

"Filming will have to wait a while. We'll officially start filming around 2 PM, beginning with the office scenes," Shen Can said.

He wasn't in a particular hurry to produce the music video for "If the Moon Doesn't Come".

Although he originally planned to officially release the song on December 2nd, he hasn't officially announced it on his blog yet, so a day or two later wouldn't matter.

"I'm fine with anything. President Cai told me that once I'm with you, I'll leave everything to you," Liu Shishi said with a smile, while her assistant picked up a water glass and took a sip.

Shishi continued, "President Cai also said you're exceptionally good at marketing."

Her eyes remained fixed on Shen Can, and she thought to herself that the handsome man was a pleasure to behold.

"I know a little."

Shen Can's gaze shifted from Shi Shi's face to her beautiful, fair hands.

Shen Can remembered someone saying that girls who practice dancing from a young age not only know difficult moves such as 360° turns, backflips, and splits, but they are also very good at massage.

After each dance practice, they need to relieve physical discomfort or pain through appropriate self-massage to promote muscle relaxation and blood circulation.

This is an essential skill for every female dance student.

It seems that Li Yitong and Jin Chen are also graduates of the Beijing Dance Academy.

Dancing is great, you have to learn to dance.

Shi Shi had no idea what Shen Can was thinking. Her eyes in reality weren't as numb as they seemed; instead, they were quite lively. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Teacher Shen Can, are there any kissing scenes in the music video we're going to shoot?"

Shen Can glanced at the two women, chuckled, and said, "You can add them if you want."

In a very short time, he used his mind-reading ability on Shishi and found that the girl was in a conflicted state, worried about the kissing scene, but also seemed to be looking forward to it.

"He's incredibly talented and good-looking. Giving him my first on-screen kiss shouldn't be a bad deal, right?" This was what Shishi thought deep down.

Shen Can chuckled inwardly.

He remembered that in his previous life, Liu Shishi's first on-screen kiss was with Yuan Hong. In the 08 remake of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Hu Ge and Ariel Lin, Liu Shishi played "Mu Nianci" and Yuan Hong played "Yang Kang".

Originally, Shi Shi wanted to use a camera trick to create a kiss, but the director insisted on a real kiss.

Rumor has it that due to Shi Shi's unfamiliarity with the kissing technique and her anxiety and nervousness, the kissing scene had to be reshot multiple times.

That's a good deal for Yuan Hong.

"Giving it to him would be better to give it to me," Shen Can thought to himself.

As for Shishi's true feelings, the reason is very simple.

Women, just like men, want to possess beautiful people when they see them.

Don't assume that goddesses don't have their own desires.

Some women are just as lustful as men, and aren't some men in nightclubs making a living by selling their sexuality?

This shows that there is not much difference between men and women in this respect.

"Huh?" Shishi's face showed surprise, then she quickly covered up her embarrassment with a hearty laugh, waving her hand and saying, "Hahaha, no need, no need, it's best if there are no kissing scenes."

Shen Can glanced at her and began to ponder.

Here comes another multiple-choice question.

A. He explained that there were absolutely no kissing scenes during the MV filming process, reassuring Shi Shi.

B. Suddenly felt that adding a kissing scene would produce excellent filming results, and decided to add a kissing scene to avoid disappointing Shi Shi.

C. Remains silent, quietly watching Shishi's awkwardness.

D. Change the subject and ask her, "What would you like to eat for dinner?"

B!

Shen Can displayed his superb acting skills, suddenly realizing something and appearing thoughtful.

"Sister Shishi, you're so smart! You thought of something I hadn't! I suddenly feel that adding a kissing scene to the music video would have a great marketing effect."

At least after the song's release, Shen Can is certain the comments section will include things like, "Shen Can is eating so well!", "Another kissing scene? And with such a beautiful girl?", "Where's my knife?", and "Damn, I want to be a singer and make music videos too!"

Shen Can pondered for a moment, then said earnestly, "There's a line in the lyrics where the female protagonist longs for love, so inserting a kissing scene here shouldn't be a problem—how about we add a line in? Is that alright?"

Shishi opened her mouth, staring blankly at Shen Can, her mind instantly a jumble of thoughts.

It turns out that Shen Can had no intention of filming kissing scenes at all; she was just overthinking it. But now—well, this has backfired and reminded Shen Can of something?

"What is this? Did I get myself into this mess?" Shishi blinked blankly, suddenly unable to laugh anymore.

She turned to look at her assistant, whose eyes were speechless, as if to say: "Hey girl, why did you bring up kissing scenes with Shen Can for no reason?"

But Shi Shi couldn't refuse. Cai Yinong had already told her that if Shen Can wanted to film a kissing scene, she had to follow his instructions.

"Then...then...that's fine."

Shishi wanted to cry but couldn't shed a tear.

What's going on here?

According to the law of conservation of smiles.

The smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on.

A smile appeared on Shen Can's face.

He was satisfied with Shishi's answer.

Actually, that kissing scene could have been filmed but not released.

Shooting a music video is just like shooting a movie or TV series; it's normal that some shots won't be used.

"By the way, Shishi, you must be an experiential learner, right?" Shen Can asked, his hands crossed on the table as he looked at Shishi across from him.

"Hmm?" Shishi paused for a moment, snapping out of her gloomy mood, and nodded gently: "Yes, I'm using the method acting approach now."

This involves basic knowledge of acting, which Shen Can is very familiar with.

Entertainment articles typically explain the three main schools of thought for actors: the experiential approach, the method approach, and the performance approach.

In reality, above the three major schools of thought, there are three major systems.

The three most recognized performance systems in the world are: Stanislavski's system, Braun's system, and Meissen's system.

The Stanislavsky system was proposed by the Russian playwright Konstantin Stanislavsky. Both the experiential and method schools of thought originated from the Stanislavsky system, with the method school being a derivative of the Stanislavsky system in the United States.

The Brecht system, proposed by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht, is what is known in the Chinese context as the Expressionist school.

The Mei system was proposed by Mei Lanfang, a master of Chinese opera, and is mainly used in traditional Chinese opera performance.

Of course, in addition to the three major performance systems, there are many other theories of theatrical performance, too numerous to mention.

Regardless of the system or school of thought, an actor's performance is not static, but rather flexible and integrated, with the ultimate goal of completing the entire performance.

Both the experiential learning and methodological approaches emphasize "truly listening, truly seeing, and truly feeling," where the actor and the role become one. The difference lies in whether the actor's immersion in the role comes from within or from without.

Method acting requires actors to find common ground with the character from the bottom of their hearts and then gradually expand that common ground, transforming themselves into the character.

The method school often uses many external means to get as close to the character as possible, insisting on maintaining the character's state so as to become the character. This ranges from adjusting one's physical appearance by gaining or losing weight to changing one's accent. For example, Aamir Khan gained weight for "Dangal"—all of which require hard work.

simply put:

Experiential learning: Believe in the situation, immerse yourself in the role, and generate emotions.

Methodology: Simulate the situation, master the role, and substitute for emotions.

However, whether approaching from the inside out or from the outside in, the ultimate goal is to achieve unity between the inside and outside, where the actor becomes the character. It's not, as some entertainment novels claim, that the method school is superior to the performance school.

The performance school, on the other hand, believes that actors should maintain a distance from their characters. Actors use their superb acting skills to portray the characters in the play, rather than completely immersing themselves in the role.

Top-tier performance actors can freely switch between being an actor and a role.

Judging from Liu Shishi's acting skills in "Chinese Paladin 3" and "Scarlet Heart", she is a very obvious method actor.

This is also a common choice for actors who are not formally trained. There are very few actors like Wang Baoqiang who can become popular by playing themselves when they first entered the industry; they are exceptionally talented.

It's a pity that LeBron James isn't an actor, otherwise he might have been a match for Wang Baoqiang.

In fact, Shi Shi is not only an experiential actress, but also a very novice one.

It's not that she acted badly; after all, her acting skills in her early works were quite good, even surpassing most of today's young actresses.

She was just too easily drawn into her roles, so much so that after playing the lead in "Scarlet Heart," she became completely immersed in the story. And since Ma'ertai Ruoxi had an altruistic personality just like her, it was as if her soul had been replaced by Ma'ertai Ruoxi's.

Why is it said that Shishi has an altruistic personality?

This all started with her life experiences.

This girl began learning ballet at the age of six, a dance that would influence her entire life, and entered a boarding school at the age of 10, beginning to face the world alone.

In other words, her personality and worldview, apart from the influence of her parents' upbringing, were formed in a collectivist environment.

In such a closed, disciplined, and monotonous environment, to survive well, one must have a resilient character, rely on companions, and even try to please them.

When she entered the Beijing Dance Academy, like many students from small towns who were admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, she became just another face in the crowd. On stage, she could only be a backup dancer, not a lead dancer, which made her altruistic personality even more pronounced.

Therefore, after acting, she developed the ability to get along well with actresses, to take care of people, to be considerate of others' feelings and needs, to be thoughtful of others, and to enjoy giving gifts. These are all survival instincts she developed from a young age, stemming from a kind heart.

It must be said that her EQ (emotional intelligence) is very high.

But it's clear that her romantic infatuation level is negative.

"She only cares about others!" This is a line from the drama "Scarlet Heart" used to describe Ma'ertai Ruoxi, and it's also the line that has been criticized the most by drama fans, highlighting her obvious altruism.

This is part of Shi Shi's personality, and it's also why she became so deeply immersed in this drama.

Furthermore, because the experiential school cannot freely change the emotional object like the method school, she developed feelings for the actors during filming, which led to the way her future marriage turned out.

It wasn't until filming "A Moment of Passage" that she learned the expressionist technique of "alienation" to maintain distance from the character.

As Shen Can thought about it, he felt more and more that he might be able to do something.

"Looking at you, my mind is full of stories. Wait for me a moment, I'll write another script, and we'll film it together later. It will be used as marketing before the song's official release, and I guarantee it will make you famous," Shen Can said, looking into Shi Shi's eyes.

The flame of fun burning brightly in my heart.

Shen Can had already thought of a title for the video: "[What a thoroughly enjoyable blind date!]".

Make a short video with the theme of blind dating.

These days, people prefer long videos, and not many people watch short videos. But he's different. With his current popularity, even if he sang the famous Yunnan song "Pinch Your Hips," I believe many people would still watch.

Shen Can acted immediately, ignoring Shi Shi and handing her over to Xu Xinran to receive her, while he returned to his office and started typing on his keyboard.

The script for the short video didn't take long; twenty-five minutes later, a script of only three pages appeared in Shishi's hands.

She stared at the line of text on the first page, her beautiful eyes widening, but then suddenly everything went black.

It reads:

[Shi Shi's contrasting persona: Acting young and cute.]

[Shen Can's contrasting persona: a spirited young man.]

[Subject: Blind Date!]

Damn, this is way off the mark!

She glanced at the script, then looked up at Shen Can, then looked down at the script again—

Finally, she took a deep breath and couldn't help but stare directly at Shen Can, asking, "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Shen Can raised an eyebrow.

Let's play a big game before releasing a song.
