What was there to ponder about the scene Lu Zhen had just acted in? Xu Rui couldn’t help but turn around and roll her eyes. Then, she found a chair and sat down.
After Ding Zhi finished scolding Lu Zhen, he would definitely let Lu Zhen reshoot. Ding Zhi was famous for being nitpicky. At that time, she would see if Lu Zhen would break down and cry. In short, it was inevitable that she would lose face.
The smile on Xu Rui’s face deepened.
“Sister Rui, the weather here is dry. Have some honey water.” Xu Rui’s assistant, Mimi, handed Xu Rui a glass of water.
Xu Rui took the glass of water and took two sips of honey water before looking out the door. It had been so long. Why weren’t Ding Zhi and Lu Zhen back yet?
“Go out and see what’s going on,” Xu Rui said to her assistant as she closed the lid of the cup.
Mimi nodded and ran out the door. Mimi walked to the temporary prop shed outside and saw Lu Zhen and Ding Zhi sitting beside the light fixture. The two of them were talking.
“Director, is there a problem with my performance method that requires some adjustments?” Lu Zhen asked politely.
In her previous life, Lu Zhen was actually a little afraid of Director Ding Zhi. At that time, she had heard many voices of praise and encouragement. Director Ding Zhi was the first to point out the problems and shortcomings in her. Moreover, his attitude had always been very strict, so she was a little afraid of facing Director Ding Zhi.
But now, Lu Zhen no longer felt uneasy. Perhaps it was because of her experience of rebirth, or perhaps it was because her heart had become stronger.
Even if Director Ding Zhi denied her acting style now, she would not feel depressed. She would listen to Director Ding Zhi’s opinion carefully and adjust it.
Hearing Lu Zhen’s words, the usually serious Director Ding Zhi actually smiled. “No, your performance just now surprised me. I didn’t expect you to act this scene in this way at all. I think it’s very special and good!”
Lu Zhen was a little surprised. She looked at Director Ding Zhi with her big watery eyes. She was still in a daze when Director Ding Zhi suddenly praised her.
“Director, do you really think so?” Lu Zhen was originally worried that her performance would be too restrained and that she would not be able to stir the audience’s emotions on the big screen.
Director Ding Zhi nodded. “I never say useless polite words. Good is good, bad is bad. I think your train of thought is right. Tell me now, how do you understand this role?”
Lu Zhen thought for a moment and briefly explained her understanding of the role of Yue Qin to Ding Zhi.
Ding Zhi nodded continuously as he listened. There was even a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes.
“It seems that you’ve really read the original novel. Your understanding is very good.” Director Ding Zhi sighed.
Most celebrities in the entertainment industry did not have high educational qualifications and did not have any cultural attainments. This meant that there were very few actors with extremely high comprehension and thinking abilities. These two abilities were exactly what an outstanding actor needed.
Of course, cultural literacy and knowledge were not absolute standards, but it had to be said that cultural literacy and knowledge had a huge impact on a person, especially in a special industry like actors.
From Lu Zhen’s answer, Ding Zhi saw that she had extremely high comprehension and thinking ability. Moreover, she had a very delicate female perspective. This was very rare.
Compared to her skilled acting skills, Ding Zhi felt that this ability was even more precious. This ability could allow Lu Zhen to go further in the future.
“This is only my own understanding. There might be something inappropriate about it,” Lu Zhen said humbly.
Director Ding Zhi pondered for a moment. “Then let me add a few of my opinions to you. I’ve read this novel almost a hundred times in the past few years. I’ve also specially studied a large amount of literature and history from that era. Your understanding is already very accurate. What I’m going to tell you next is just to help you better understand that era.”
Director Ding Zhi was extremely expressive and spoke very quickly. Lu Zhen had to focus to keep up with his speed and thoughts.
After hearing Director Ding Zhi’s additional information, Lu Zhen felt enlightened. It was as if an incomplete puzzle in her mind had been completed. The details were more vivid and the angle was more comprehensive.
“Continue to perform in the same way as you did just now. We’ll film a few more times later. You have to handle the details more meticulously. From your eyes to your breathing, and even your walking and lifting movements, you have to treat yourself as the real Yue Qin..”
