After a unique cosplay event, the two lay on the bed to rest.

"Acting can involve emotional substitutions, right?" Mingbei said, looking at Liu Shishi.

"Since we're about to part ways, you can channel these emotions into Ruoxi; it should make things much easier..."

"Okay, whatever you say~"

Liu Shishi, however, had her eyes half-closed, looking as if she were half-asleep, and her answer didn't seem to be very attentive.

"This girl..."

Mingbei sighed inwardly, wondering if he needed to take drastic measures, otherwise her condition might not be able to cope with the situation that followed.

But if you think about it carefully, it's understandable.

Strictly speaking, Liu Shishi is not very old now, only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and it would be easy to call her a little girl.

In another ten years or so, when people of that age are just starting out in society, won't they all be considered children?

It's understandable that the little girl is immersed in love.

However, they are actors after all, and they must have professional skills.

Since you've chosen to enter this industry, you must follow certain rules and not let personal feelings affect the content creation process.

If Liu Shishi weren't a key actress being groomed by Tangren Media, she probably would have been verbally abused by the director long ago.

The next day, Liu Shishi's condition did indeed improve compared to before.

However, this improvement still hasn't met the director's requirements.

"No, it's still not enough!"

The director still didn't approach Liu Shishi, and instead approached Ming Bei to discuss the matter.

"I think the fundamental problem is that she seems too happy now that she's with you!"

"Therefore, when portraying these tragic and heart-wrenching characters, the emotional resonance on a deeper level is much less!"

"In that case, achieving the desired effect will be very difficult!"

When the feeling of happiness is too strong, the sense of immersion is indeed relatively small when acting out tragic scenes.

It also increases the difficulty of getting into character.

"Should I leave?"

"You can't leave now, there's still a scene where you and Ruoxi have to part ways, a scene that feels like a life-or-death separation!"

"Then what do we do?"

"Sigh, do you think there's any other way to temporarily get Shishi out of this blissful state, preferably to make her feel like the whole world has abandoned her!"

"..."

I've been abandoned by the whole world, do you expect me to break up with her right now?

This is clearly impossible.

However, Li Guoli's words also enlightened Mingbei.

Although they can't say "break up" right now, they can stage a "fake breakup." As long as Liu Shishi feels abandoned, her acting performance should be much better.

"It seems that relationships between couples or spouses on set aren't so easy to maintain..."

If the person you're dealing with is more mature, has developed their own acting style, and is rarely influenced by external factors, then there probably won't be any problems.

Liu Shishi is still quite young, and while her acting skills are passable, she hasn't quite reached the point of being able to truly control her performance.

Therefore, at this point, if you want to perform differently,

We'll have to rely on external help.

Clearly, this external force can only be propelled by Mingbei; no one else can do it.

"Come on, let's continue our conversation!"

Mingbei pulled Liu Shishi and led her directly to a corner.

At this moment, Liu Shishi was actually a little flustered. She did feel some pressure acting out these scenes.

It's not as easy to handle as it used to be.

Especially since Mingbei had already had a heart-to-heart talk with him, he was even more nervous.

"Shishi, do you remember the emotional substitute we talked about before?"

"Remember."

"Alright," Mingbei said slowly, taking a deep breath.

"Suppose we broke up now, what would you think?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi was stunned for a moment!

The next moment, her emotions spiraled out of control, and tears welled up in her eyes!

In Liu Shishi's eyes, Mingbei was simply the perfect partner, the kind that was impeccable in every way!

She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling after they got together.

I never imagined that I would break up with Mingbei one day!

However, at that very moment, Mingbei confessed that he wanted to break up with her!

This is absolutely devastating!

"You," Liu Shishi asked, sobbing, her tears still wet on her face.

"Are you really going to break up with me?"

"Hypothetically, it's just hypothetical!" Mingbei was speechless, and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"How would you feel if we broke up?"

"Doesn't this feeling somewhat similar to the current plot?"

"In the drama, as Ruoxi, you are abandoned by both the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince, and the character herself is on the verge of death and despair!"

"Off-screen, if you also broke up and lost someone you loved, could those two emotions substitute for each other and help you get into character quickly?"

Emotional substitution is a technique within the methodology school of thought, and it is highly regarded by many.

Liu Shishi is a graduate of a dance academy, not a drama performance major.

But I also sought guidance from professional teachers and learned about these three major acting styles.

Knowing something is one thing, but applying it fully in acting and gaining a deep understanding of it is not an easy thing.

However, listening to Mingbei's words at this moment, she could deeply understand what emotional substitution in the Methodist school was!

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Seeing Liu Shishi's seemingly confused expression, Mingbei pressed for more information.

"I'm giving you a strong dose of medicine. You need to imagine that I'm breaking up with you, that I don't want you anymore, and that I'm going to find someone else, like Sister Xinyou. Then the despair in your heart will slowly accumulate..."

Liu Xinyou, who was sitting not far away, was inexplicably caught in the crossfire. After thinking for a moment, she got up, moved her chair, and walked a little further away.

After much comforting, I felt that it was finally having some effect.

"We broke up. Mingbei doesn't want me anymore..."

Liu Shishi muttered to herself, trying to reinforce the impression and quickly get into this state.

【Ding! 】

Just as Ming Bei breathed a sigh of relief, a demonic whisper sounded in his ear:

[The host has broken up with Liu Shishi. The breakup system has been activated, granting the host half of his ex-girlfriend's abilities and wealth!]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired "Advanced Dance Skills," "Advanced Dumpling-Making Techniques," "Intermediate Crying Scenes," "Beginner Action Scenes," and "Beginner Dialogue Skills!"]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained a fortune of 896 million RMB!]

"I @#¥%……"

Mingbei was about to curse: When did we break up?!

Assume, assume, do you even know what an assumption is?!

"Mingbei, come quick! Shishi is doing really well right now!"

Before we even had a chance to figure out exactly what was going on, the director started pressuring us.

This scene depicts Ruoxi's death. After some words of comfort, Liu Shishi exudes a weak and helpless beauty.

Therefore, the director's requirements were also well achieved.

In contrast, Mingbei, after Ruoxi "died" in his arms,

He was incredibly grief-stricken, crying uncontrollably, as if he had lost the whole world!

"Tsk tsk, look at this acting, this crying scene," the director said, pointing to Mingbei on the monitor.

"That was truly a genuine expression of emotion!"
