Chapter 1779 - 1782: Night Tour with the Stunning Best Actress
"I'm not good at this type of role." The once-in-a-millennium beauty, actress Song Weiyin looked apologetically at Shen Qiang and said, "Even though I knew this for a long time, I thought I could still handle this type of role, but it's clear that I overestimated myself."Glancing at the crew eating their midnight snack, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Do you know why I agreed to use this script as an advertisement for Datong River?"
Song Weiyin hesitated and said, "I'm not very savvy about business."
Shen Qiang chuckled and replied, "Contrast. An old man who follows rules eats Datong River's food and transforms into an ambitious, cold CEO. A gentle, kind old lady returns to eighteen, not only regaining her youth and beauty but also finding that young, rebellious self."
"Very good. I like this kind of advertisement with a clear contrast, and I also think life is often stressful, so it's great to live differently sometimes. But obviously, you've never been rebellious."
Actress Song Weiyin was stunned, and after hesitating for a long time, said, "I've never been able to find that rebellious feeling because it seems I'm not naturally that kind of girl."
"Don't make excuses." Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Having no experience only proves you're indeed a good girl. But besides that, I hope to face the current situation squarely. So many people, from the screenwriter to the cameraman, makeup artist, and even Datong River's chef, are working hard. Surely you wouldn't want to just say sorry and leave all this behind, right?"
Song Weiyin took a deep breath, then puffed up her cheeks earnestly, "I'll work hard. I won't give up until the last moment."
"And then? What do you plan to do?" Shen Qiang asked, looking at Song Weiyin, who clearly wasn't in the mood for a midnight snack.
"I'll go back, watch lots of films about rebellious girls to find that feeling, and then I'll come back on time to finish the shooting," Song Weiyin said.
Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and communicated telepathically, "We're both cultivators, so I want you to honestly tell me what you really can't perform."
Song Weiyin looked seriously at Shen Qiang, and after a while, communicated telepathically, "I can't perform rebellious roles, wild roles, and those cunning bad woman roles. Other roles are no problem. Whether it's a young girl, female teacher, or female CEO, I can do it."
After hearing this, Shen Qiang hesitated and said, "I assume you've already seen many films with such roles you can't portray, and maybe someone has even taught you, right?"
Song Weiyin nodded.
Shen Qiang laughed thoughtfully and said, "Without truly experiencing it, no amount of theory can genuinely let you realize what rebellion is. So first, eat something, and after that, let's go out and find that rebellious feeling."
Instantly, Song Weiyin was dumbfounded, then said in surprise, "How is that possible? I'm an actress, I'll be recognized, and I promised Grandma I wouldn't go out with boys."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and leaned back in his chair, seriously looking at Song Weiyin said, "You've never gone out with a boy?"
"Of course." The middle-aged female assistant said, "To wear the crown, one must bear its weight. The most important thing to be an actress is to stay clean and adhere to the artist's code. If one can't be pure, how can they portray innocence? So self-discipline is a must. Over the past nine years, Weiyin has done well, never doing anything out of line, hence her current achievements."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, "Perfect. Eat dinner, and tonight you'll go out with me alone. Rebellion starts from here."
The stunning Song Weiyin and the middle-aged female assistant were both dumbfounded.
Half an hour later, under a purple arrangement, the crew stayed at a nearby hotel.
After a quick shower, the mustached director had just lain down on the bed when his phone rang next to him.
"Director Wang, hurry and talk about the ad in the group chat, quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
After saying that, the phone call ended abruptly. The mustached director frowned for a long time but still opened the group chat on his phone. As soon as he opened it, he saw everyone in the group discussing Song Weiyin.
"I watched that phone clip, and personally, I think Song Weiyin's poor performance is understandable, given that her opponent's aura is too strong and she couldn't compete."
"Yes, yes, that guy Shen Qiang as the cold CEO has that high and mighty feeling, a really strong presence. If we were to talk about playing a CEO, in the whole country, there might be as few as you could count on one hand."
"I don't think there are that many. Expressions can be acted, but demeanor can't be faked."
Seeing their messages, the mustached director sighed helplessly and then posted, "Producer Yu said, that Shen Qiang is a hero, that's just who he is, so his overbearing CEO performance isn't acting. It's in his nature, so don't overthink it."
Seeing his message, although it was already 1 AM, the group chat instantly became lively.
"Director Wang, tell us about Song Weiyin. Her acting has always been stable, so why such a blunder?"
"I heard some insider news that guy Shen Qiang said he wanted to teach her acting. Hahaha, what an arrogant guy."
"Yes, I heard that too."
Looking at their messages, Director Wang said helplessly, "Things are not as complicated as you think. In fact, Song Weiyin is not the kind of youthful rebellious girl, so she can't find that truly rebellious feeling. As for Shen Qiang, he's a total outsider when it comes to acting. He doesn't understand that when an actor can't find the feeling, nothing works."
"Haha, I laughed. I used to think this Shen Qiang might be a hidden master. Now, hearing Director Wang, I immediately realized Shen Qiang is just pretending to understand."
"Great, my excitement was for nothing. I thought we encountered a genius actor, but he is just an outsider. Considering Song Weiyin's mentors, each is an excellent actor. If they can't teach, how could he?"
"Exactly, the teacher can only lead the way, cultivation depends on oneself. If Song Weiyin can't understand rebellion, it's pointless, like playing music to a cow."
Seeing these messages, Director Wang said, "There's no significant point to mention. If it's a heroic warlord type of role, you can contact Shen Qiang, it should not disappoint. But for other types of roles, I feel he can't handle them. And Song Weiyin, after years of acting, this is the first time a performance flaw emerges. So if it's a rebellious role, don't invite her to act. It's too tiring, and she'll not perform well."
"Director Wang, don't be too absolute. What if Shen Qiang creates a miracle?"
"Yeah, don't casually block Song Weiyin's acting path!"
Director Wang shook his head with a smile, then said helplessly, "No chance, it won't work. Song Weiyin is not a rebellious person. Her thoughts have never been rebellious, so how can she comprehend it? So go to sleep, this matter, I reckon it ends here."
