How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 121 Acting Skills

Hiroko Watanabe's love for dangerous mountain climbing is a manifestation of this rebellious spirit.

It was during a mountain climb that Hiroko Watanabe met O-Ju.

The male tree fell in love with, or rather accepted, the female tree because Hiroko Watanabe looked very similar to her.

So Hiroko Watanabe must have taken the initiative and ended up with Ooki.

Later, when the two were climbing a mountain, they encountered danger, and the male tree died to save Hiroko.

Hiroko became even more obsessed with Ooki, and even felt guilty towards him when she had new relationships.

That's why she decisively rejected Akiha's advances after receiving the female tree's reply.

Since Hiroko has this kind of personality, then in terms of appearance, she should be heroic and efficient.

This contrasts perfectly with the female tree's frail health and gentle nature!

In the original version, the contrast between the personalities and even the appearances of these two characters was not so distinct.

Wang Xiaohao had made up his mind. He wanted Bozi to have a cool, short haircut, and even her clothing style and manner of walking should reflect that decisiveness and agility. She should love adventure and mountain climbing.

The female tree, on the other hand, has long hair and likes to wear loose, comfortable, and relaxed clothes. She enjoys curling up in a warm fireplace to read.

The difference in their personalities is something Jin Ningxin might not be able to portray.

But now Wang Xiaohao believes in Qi Zhen's abilities. He thinks Qi Zhen can definitely portray the difference between the two!

It has to be said that the entertainment industry is a very small circle.

Wang Xiaohao called Qi Zhen over, and soon Bai Qiuqi got the news and called, openly and subtly trying to get a role from Wang Xiaohao.

The phone call had just ended when Wang Manli's movie started playing.

Even Zhen Liang joined in the fun! Then Wang Xiaohao dismissed her with, "You're not making money anymore!"

Upon receiving the news, Qi Zhen gritted her teeth in hatred and became even more determined to seize this rare opportunity to perform well in the film.

To be honest, Qi Zhen quite liked this script!

She started out making art films, but she really disliked the sentimental style of some art film directors.

"Love Letter," on the other hand, though seemingly calm on the surface, possesses a lingering charm.

She could tell at a glance that this film would be pretty good!

Moreover, she also knew why Jin Ningxin had been replaced.

Nothing more!

Jin Ningxin's acting skills definitely can't capture such a subtle character!

In just one day, Qi Zhen thoroughly read the script, and the next day she said to Wang Xiaohao, "Director, let's film! I'm all set!"

So we started filming from the scene of the conversation by the fireplace again.

The main advantage is that the set was still in place; everything was ready-made, making filming easy.

During this filming, Wang Xiaohao experienced the joy of working with great actors.

When filming with Jin Ningxin, I had to explain everything to her, breaking down and explaining everything in detail.

But Jin Ningxin remained as wooden as a block of wood, staring at you with innocent little eyes, completely unable to understand.

If Jin Ningxin hadn't actually had a very good personality and been hardworking and conscientious, Wang Xiaohao would have been furious and wanted to curse many times.

However, working with Qi Zhen was much smoother!

Many things don't need to be said; they can demonstrate them on their own, and from time to time, they can even deliver performances that amaze you.

For example, when Akiha was talking to Hiroko, Hiroko thought about replying to the letter, suddenly lost in thought, and smiled.

What Jin Ningxin could never portray, Qi Zhen performed with ease.

Moreover, for some reason, this smile even carried a touch of melancholy!

This is different from the original.

And at this moment, such laughter seems somewhat abrupt.

This amazed Wang Xiaohao, but also left him unsure whether to use the shot.

In the end, he decided to keep the shot and consider it later in post-production.

As the performance continued, Wang Xiaohao gradually began to notice some clues.

Qi Zhen changed the persona she had created for Bozi!

Wang Xiaohao didn't get angry because he realized that this way of acting on camera seemed to have a different flavor.

So Wang Xiaohao called Qi Zhen over and asked, "What exactly are you thinking?"

Qi Zhen said, "I think Bozi's rebellious appearance is just a facade. Bozi is probably a gentle woman who likes to be taken care of."

Hiroko and Otoki got together, but it wasn't Hiroko's initiative.

She fell for him because the male tree was gentle and caring.

Just like Akiha later on, she was also a very caring person. That's why Hiroko wavered and considered betraying her feelings for the deceased Itsuki!

Wang Xiaohao was taken aback when he heard this, because this change seemed to make more sense.

Because of his methods, Hiroko, rebellious at heart, actively pursued Itsuki. So how she and Akiha later got together is hard to say!

Furthermore, in the original version, both the cinematography and other aspects demonstrate that Akiha is a very caring and warm-hearted man.

The campfire in the fireplace illuminating Hiroko is a hint!

indeed!

Qi Zhen was right!

He's mistaken!

Furthermore, if Hiroko's personality is outwardly rebellious but inwardly gentle, this would also serve as a good counterpart to Iori.

Nu Shucai is a woman who appears weak but is strong inside!

No wonder that in many production crews, the lead actors are often regarded as key members of the creative team.

Because good actors really can enhance the film!

With the talented Qi Zhen on his side, Wang Xiaohao was able to film his next movie much faster.

There's no need to slowly wear Jin Ningxin down.

In addition, Wang Xiaohao had already filmed the entire scene once, so he was very familiar with everything.

Coupled with Qi Zhen's brilliant performance, the filming process was exhilarating.

On the contrary, it made Sun Xuyang look dull and lackluster!

Originally, when comparing Sun Xuyang with Jin Ningxin, Wang Xiaohao felt that Sun Xuyang's acting skills were acceptable and that he was a mature actor.

A mature actor is someone who can produce any reaction or expression you ask them to make!

Compared to Jin Ningxin, that wooden beauty, she's really great!

But now, when he acts opposite Qi Zhen, this guy seems like a block of wood!

Because his acting skills are too mature and too standard, like something produced on an assembly line, all the same.

Qi Zhen, a truly gifted and talented actress, is on a completely different level.

This also made Wang Xiaohao start to dislike Sun Xuyang.

That's just how people are!

Once you've had a good meal, you find it hard to eat anything bad.

This is what they mean by "it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality!"

Fortunately, Sun Xuyang has high emotional intelligence.

He soon noticed that Wang Xiaohao was looking at him with disdain.

This guy immediately learned his lesson and started acting.

Although she still can't compare to Qi Zhen, her skill level has improved significantly.
