Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

To be honest, Liu Yifei's acting skills are indeed a bit mediocre.

At least for now, Liu Yifei's acting skills are definitely not very good.

However, to say that she has no acting skills at all is absolutely nonsense.

Bai Xiuzhu, Wang Yuyan, Zhao Ling'er, Xiaolongnu.

A spoiled and willful young lady, a gentle and devoted lady from a prominent family, a pure and innocent girl who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and a detached and aloof fairy.

In her previous life, Liu Yifei's four roles before adulthood were not only all very popular, but also four different types.

There are also Zhao Pan'er, Xu Hongdou, and Huang Yimei, three TV drama characters who are all adults and are of three different types, and all of them are portrayed very well.

Most importantly, even without looking at her makeup and costume, you can tell which character she is just by looking at her face, which shows that she has indeed portrayed the characteristics of these characters.

After giving Liu Yifei acting lessons in "The Story of a Noble Family" and "Our Times," Xu Heng also discovered that Liu Yifei does have acting talent.

Liu Yifei's acting talent is definitely not low.

From "The Story of a Noble Family" to "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Liu Yifei's acting skills have improved significantly.

If it were one of those popular young actresses from the previous life, how many of them could play Bai Xiuzhu in their first drama and Wang Yuyan in their second?

However, Liu Yifei has one major flaw in her acting skills: she has too little experience and has almost never experienced real hardship!

In addition, in her previous life she never met a director who was truly willing to patiently help her hone her acting skills. The movies she made were obviously based on her looks and popularity rather than her acting skills, which is why her acting skills haven't improved much over the years!

However, in Xu Heng's view, suffering is nothing to be proud of.

If given the choice, I believe no one would willingly choose to truly experience suffering.

So it's okay if your acting is a little bad, it's not a big deal, why make things difficult for yourself?

Not to mention that with Liu Yifei's appearance, her acting skills in her previous life were already sufficient.

And the facts have proven this point. Among female celebrities, who else can be more popular than her or stay popular for longer? So don't be so demanding!

With him in this life, Liu Yifei's acting skills will definitely improve compared to the previous life!

A few days later, filming of "Our Times" proceeded as scheduled.

The filming process went relatively smoothly, without encountering any major or insurmountable problems.

It's important to know that not all majors at Beijing Film Academy have such low admission scores as the acting department; some majors even have admission scores that exceed the first-tier university cutoff.

Those who made it into the group this time are all outstanding students from various majors.

As a result, these students not only surpassed those self-taught individuals in professional skills, but their overall quality was also far superior to the mixed bag of self-taught individuals in other film crews, and they had far fewer messy incidents than most film crews.

Xu Heng was also somewhat surprised by this, not to mention the others, including Liu Yifei.

Before filming began, it's safe to say that no one could have imagined it would go so smoothly.

Absolutely no one could have imagined that Xu Heng, directing for the first time, would actually have this ability!

Meanwhile, as the currently airing drama "The Story of a Noble Family" has passed its halfway mark, its reputation has finally exploded, and its theme song "Dark Fragrance" has also become a hit.

The three main actresses, Xu Heng, Liu Yifei, and Dong Jie, have seen their fame and popularity soar.

If things continue like this, by the time this drama finishes airing, Xu Heng, who has the highest profile and popularity, could very well become a top-tier leading man based on this drama alone!

It's no exaggeration to say that she became an overnight sensation!

Even if he doesn't make it to the top tier, he can definitely become a popular young actor!

Moreover, once "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" airs, Xu Heng has a very high probability of becoming a leading man!

From the outside perspective, given Xu Heng's image and the acting skills he displayed in "The Story of a Noble Family," he should have no problem playing the role of Duan Yu well!

It will be difficult for Dong Jie to directly become a top-tier actress based on this drama.

This is not only because Liu Yifei, the second female lead, has taken away a lot of the popularity and attention that originally belonged to her.

Also, because Xu Heng in the drama is so handsome, and his overall image is far superior to Chen Kun's in the previous life.

So much so that, given her looks, she seemed a bit unworthy of him.

Moreover, Xu Heng is 1.8 meters tall, and he and Liu Yifei, who is nearly 1.7 meters tall, are a perfect match in the drama.

Dong Jie is at most 1.6 meters tall, so she is a better match for Chen Kun, who is also shorter than Liu Yifei, but not as good a match for Xu Heng.

Although director Li Dawei tried his best to make up for it during filming, it was still impossible to completely avoid any slip-ups.

There are even more viewers in this life who say that Jin Yanxi was blind to choose Leng Qingqiu instead of Bai Xiuzhu than in the previous life!

And then March just passed by.

April 1st, April Fool's Day.

Around 6 p.m., a major event occurred in the entertainment industry of Hong Kong: the famous Hong Kong star "Brother" Zhang Guorong jumped off a building, and all major media outlets in China reported on it.

Soon after, all sorts of rumors began to circulate online.

Many people in Xu Heng's crew also discussed this topic privately.

"That's why people who are overly kind and have a strong sense of morality are best advised to stay away from this circle!"

During the lunch break the next day, Xu Heng suddenly remarked.

He is not a fan of anyone, and he has no particular feelings for "Brother" Zhang Guorong.

But judging from the information from his previous life, "Brother" Zhang Guorong can indeed be considered a rare "good person" in the entertainment industry.

Today's scene is set in the wild. Liu Yifei, who has just finished lunch, is sitting in a chair reading the script and occasionally asks him a question.

Liu Xiaoli sat not far away and did not disturb them.

"It's a real shame..."

Liu Yifei nodded; she naturally knew who Xu Heng was referring to.

However, she had never met her "brother" and did not have any special feelings for him.

But then she immediately put on a gossipy expression.

Is that rumor circulating online true? The one about the powerful figure?

This morning, as soon as she arrived at school, Zhou Yang pulled her aside and told her a whole bunch of gossip he had seen online and heard at school.

The most credible rumor circulating online right now is that a mainland tycoon said he wants to invest in "Brother's" movie.

Since this film was Leslie Cheung's directorial debut, he put a lot of effort into it.

Not only did they put in a lot of effort, but they also used almost all their connections to invite the main creative team of the film, including the screenwriter of "New Dragon Gate Inn", the director of photography of "In the Mood for Love", the art director of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the editor of "Ashes of Time" and "Chungking Express", and the costume designer of "Hero".

Ning Jing plays the female lead, Hu Jun and Chen Daoming play important supporting roles, and "Brother" plays the male lead himself.

That bigwig promised there was no limit to the investment, but just when the movie was about to start filming and the contracts with the main creators had been signed, that bigwig went and got dumped.

It was precisely because of this that the "older brother's" pre-existing depression worsened, which led to this tragedy.
