Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: Praise (2/2)
“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..”
