Nature or personality?

  (Thank you for Xiao Jinqiu's reward, and I will continue to ask for collection and recommendation!)

  This is Wang Baoqiang's first play after entering the group, and it is also Wang Baoqiang's first cooperation with such a big star.

  Although he is simple-minded, he is not foolish and sometimes thinks more than ordinary people. He worries that his performance will not meet the director's satisfaction, and also fears that his mistakes will affect Liu Ruoying, who is acting with him.

  Under various considerations, Wang Baoqiang became tense.

  Wang Baoqiang walked into the filming scene with a serious expression, his usual bright smile nowhere to be seen. His silly appearance made everyone on set want to laugh, but they restrained themselves because Ye Su Mang was present. As a result, everyone's face turned bright red as they struggled to hold back their laughter.

  "Steady, don't shake!" Ye Sumang was watching the monitor at this time and found that Wang Baoguang was standing there, shaking all over like he had been electrocuted. If he continued to shake like this, the show would be ruined.

  "Director, I...I didn't flinch."

  "Stubborn mouth? You said you didn't tremble, come and take a look at the monitor, and then look at the ground where you're standing, it's almost been trampled into a circle by you."

  Everyone heard the words and immediately looked down at Wang Baoqiang's feet, only to see that the place where Wang Baoqiang was standing was exceptionally clean, apparently because of his constant shaking, he had trampled all the dust and dirt in that area to one side.

  "Hahaha..." At this moment, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing, this little guy was really too silly and lovable.

  Wang Baoqiang rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, he really didn't know that he was shaking, but whether it was the ground under his feet or the image reflected in the lens, they all proved that he was indeed shaking.

  "Alright, adjust your emotions, we're about to start filming formally." After finishing speaking, Ye Sumang also gave a glance to Liu Ruoying who was waiting aside, the latter immediately understood and nodded, walking towards Wang Baoqiang.

  "Sister, I really don't know what's going on with me." Seeing Liu Ruoying walk over, Wang Baoqiang was like he had found a sense of belonging, and the small grievances in his heart immediately poured out.

  "Sister, I knew that when I first started acting, I was even more nervous than you!" Liu Ruoying's smile was very therapeutic. At least Wang Baichuan felt his tension ease up a lot as he listened to her gentle comfort.

  "Hey, sis, tell me about your first time acting." Wang Baoqiang asked with some curiosity.

  "No problem, but you're not allowed to laugh at me after I'm done." Liu Ruoying also sat down on the ground with Wang Baoqiang, sharing some embarrassing stories from her filming experiences. Before long, the two of them were bursting into a fit of happy laughter.

  "Alright, let's get ready!" After receiving Liu Ruoying's signal, Ye Sumang knew that everything was fine and began directing the crew to start filming.

  As expected, after communication, Wang Baoqiang's performance improved a lot, and the role was somewhat similar to his own image, so it wasn't difficult for him to act. Even with some minor flaws, under Ye Su Mang's guidance, they could be quickly corrected.

  Time flew by and it was soon noon, Ye Sumang didn't delay the shooting time. When the takeout arrived, Ye Sumang decisively ended the shoot. After all, everyone had been tired for a whole morning, and what they were most looking forward to was probably this moment.

  As soon as Ye Sumang finished saying 'dinner is served', all the staff couldn't help but let out a cheer and rushed to the location of the food cart. The main cast also headed to their own restrooms, where their favorite dishes were already laid out.

  "Yèzi, aren't you going to eat?" Ning Hao put away his camera and found Ye Sumang still staring at the monitor, so he asked.

  "No need, just bring me a copy after you've finished eating." Ye Sumang smiled and was going to take advantage of the lunch break to carefully review some of the footage from the morning's shoot that had left him hesitant.

  Ning Hao heard Ye Su Mang say this, and he didn't try to persuade him anymore. After cooperating for so long, he had already understood Ye Su Mang's workaholic personality, knowing that if he wasn't satisfied with his own work, no amount of persuasion would be effective.

  Ning Hao left without Ye Su Mang noticing, his mind was completely focused on the screen of the monitor, repeatedly playing back and forth, carefully observing every detail inside.

  At some point, a man walked up behind Ye Sumang, holding a box of lunch.

  "Su Mang, let's eat first."

  "Brother Liu?" Ye Sumang was startled by the sudden appearance of a lunchbox in front of her, turned her head to look, and found it was actually Liu Dehua.

  Ye Sumang had been concentrating on the camera lens and hadn't felt anything, but as soon as he relaxed, he realized that his stomach was indeed very hungry. So this time, he didn't refuse again, and smiled as he took over the boxed meal.

  "How was the shot taken in the morning?" Taking advantage of Ye Sumang eating lunch, Liu Dehua also sat in front of the monitor and looked seriously.

  "It's all pretty good, just that the acting of the protagonist is still a bit awkward, but it's not a big problem. This role doesn't require too much pure acting skills anyway, maybe the more self-centered he acts, the better."

  "Indeed, Baoqiang is a good actor. " Liu Dehua also nodded in agreement.

  When Liu Dehua mentioned the four words "true color actor", Ye Sumang nodded thoughtfully, and the boxed meal in her hand was unconsciously put aside, and she fell into contemplation again.

  Andy Lau's comment suddenly reminded him of the vague division of an actor's acting skills and image in the entertainment industry, which is roughly divided into two types: true-to-life actors and character actors.

  To put it simply, a typecast actor plays roles that are similar to their own appearance, temperament and personality, so the characters all have very obvious personal characteristics. Character actors, on the other hand, are different, they are good at using acting skills to shape various kinds of people with different personalities, and the range of roles is also much wider.

  As for which of the two actors is better, there is still no consensus until now.

  But now, among the actors that Ye Sumang has come into contact with, Liu Yifei is probably the most natural. She has a striking appearance and temperament, but her acting skills are still somewhat immature, so every role she plays has a strong personal touch.

  And the character actor in the crew is Chen Daoming. This time, this old drama bone really opened Ye Sumang's eyes wide. During the filming of "The Thieves", his acting skills were completely different from those of the Emperor Kangxi in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". This time, he played the role of the thief king with cunning and ruthlessness, yet without losing his dignity, making people applaud and cheer.

  "And you, Liu Dage, what kind of actor do you think you are?" Ye Sumang also curiously asked Liu Dehua beside him.

  "I don't know either, maybe half and half." Liu Dehua was taken aback by Ye Sumang's question, then shook his head and replied with a bitter smile.

  Since ancient times, only specialization can achieve greater success. Liu Dehua is very clear about this principle, but unfortunately his talent is not enough, so he can only make up for his shortcomings by doing both. Therefore, in acting, he has always been unable to surpass his old friend Tony Leung.

  After listening to Liu Dehua's answer, Ye Sumang couldn't help but start thinking about her own acting skills.

  In his performance in The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, he fully immersed himself in the role. Logically speaking, he should be considered a 'character actor', but because of his overly vivid image, he seems to have a hint of being a 'true-to-life' actor as well. The fusion of these two acting styles left Ye Su Meng momentarily confused about which category he belonged to, but soon he cast this question aside, after all, his main profession is directing, and it's best to leave acting matters to the professionals.

  The shooting at Labrang Monastery was soon completed, and the crew would return to Kyoto again. Since most of the filming took place on a train, Ye Su Mang had already contacted the railway company, purchased two abandoned carriages from them, and after renovation, they were placed in a garden outside Kyoto, waiting for the arrival of the crew.

  Ye Sumang returned to Kyoto, the first thing he did was rush home, but when he reached the door, he found that he didn't bring his house key. Looking at the iron gate blocking his way, Ye Sumang sighed helplessly and touched his pocket, only to find a string of dormitory keys given by Xie Fei. Thinking it was already late, Ye Sumang didn't go to look for a hotel and headed straight to the college dormitory.
