In the future, Jiang Se will focus on the big screen. She had no acting experience before and did not choose a film and television academy. The disadvantage of not having a professional background has now become Jiang Se's advantage.
Precisely because she did not accept the textbook-like rigid performance techniques and methods, Jiang Se played vase-type roles in two of the few dramas she has starred in since entering the entertainment industry, leaving the public with the impression that her beauty is more important than her acting skills.
But she is hardworking and eager to learn, and humbly accepts other people's opinions. She grows in her own way and has finally honed her own unique style of performance.
After spending a few days with Jiang Se, Liang Chunbo had a better impression of her. She did not, as Liang Chunbo had imagined, put on display her status as Chang Yuhu's disciple as soon as she joined the troupe, claiming she was superior to others. She was very respectful to her seniors, and that respect was not expressed in flattery but in her every move.
After chatting for a while, Liang Chunbo also learned that Jiang Se came to the Grand Theater and chose the role of a warlord to practice in preparation for his next movie.
After learning about the role she would play in her next movie, Liang Chunbo also gave her some advice:
"Sese, since you are playing a mother who has lost her only daughter and hope, you have put a lot of effort into your eyes, expressions, and lines."
He looked at Jiang Se with a smile:
"But have you ever thought about what this mother looks like?"
Jiang Se naturally had a rough idea of this question in his mind. In the early days, Zhang Yuqin lived a stagnant life. Her child was everything to her. She was busy with work every day and had no time to take care of herself. Her appearance should be somewhat delicate, yet a little vicissitudes of life.
She told Liang Chunbo what she was thinking, and Liang Chunbo agreed with her point of view, but he still shook his head:
"You are right, but not entirely."
Some external looks, scars, and a dishevelled appearance, can be left to stylists to enhance that feeling, "but some looks have to be done by yourself."
"Mr. Liang, please teach me."
Jiang Se was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked Liang Chunbo for advice. Liang Chunbo was very satisfied with her attitude, and said with a smile:
"A woman who has lost confidence in her husband and family and focuses her life on her daughter and work will definitely look tired and weak, and she will definitely be a little thin."
And this kind of thinness must be angular to show how harsh life has been on her.
At this point, Liang Chunbo glanced at Jiang Se:
"Your eyes are on point, and your tone and demeanor are very emotional, but you don't look like someone who has been through a lot of hardships."
Jiang Se has delicate features, plump cheeks, a standard oval face, clear skin, and a well-proportioned body. No matter how good her acting skills are or how she tries to imitate Zhang Yuqin's facial expressions, her appearance does not actually fit the role of the heroine in the play.
His words were like a wake-up call. Jiang Se reached out and slapped her forehead. She had never thought about this problem before. Fortunately, Liang Chunbo reminded her in time.
"It was indeed my oversight. Thank you for your reminder."
She stood up and bowed. Liang Chunbo accepted her greeting calmly with a gentle look in his eyes:
"For a good actor, besides paying attention to body language, body shape is also a form of acting that can increase your persuasiveness."
Liang Chunbo's reminder was of course useful, but Jiang Se still had two endorsements. When she signed the contract with Adeele's denim series and Honghua Jewelry, there were restrictions on her weight and fame. If she wanted to lose weight, she had to notify Xia Chaoqun in advance.
When she came out of the theater, it was almost ten o'clock. She called Mo Anqi in advance. When she came out, it was drizzling outside. Mo Anqi was standing at the door waiting for her with an umbrella, one hand holding her coat and holding a thermos cup.
The car stopped opposite. Jiang Se took a few sips of warm tea, got in the car, breathed a sigh of relief, took out his cell phone, and directly dialed Xia Chaoqun's number.
Xia Chaoqun had returned to the capital seven days ago. Jiang Se picked up the phone after it rang three times:
"What's up?"
Her voice was clear, accompanied by the rustling sound of flipping through documents, and it was obvious that she was busy.
"Sister Chaoqun, excuse me for interrupting your time for five minutes."
Jiang Se rarely calls Xia Chaoqun on her own initiative. Compared to other artists, she is too restrained. Since signing with Century Galaxy, except for the last incident when Xu Baixing was beaten in Hong Kong, Jiang Se has never caused any trouble again, which makes Xia Chaoqun very worry-free.
So as soon as she made this request, there was the sound of a pen being put down on the table:
"you say."
"I plan to lose 15 pounds during the filming of 'Devil'. Will it affect my endorsements?"
After Jiang Se finished speaking, Xia Chaoqun was silent for a while.
Currently, her height is 1.74 meters, one centimeter taller than when she was reborn last year, and her weight is 55 kilograms, which is maintained at a fairly good standard. Once she loses 15 kilograms, it will be a very obvious number for Jiang Se, and she needs to report it in advance.
After asking Jiang Se why he wanted to lose weight, Xia Chaoqun thought about it:
"Please put this on hold for now. I will find a nutritionist for you after the film festival. I got the news that both of your films have been submitted to the film festival. I have analyzed the list of judges and found that four of them should have a good impression of you. You have a great chance of being nominated. You should put aside the practice for now and don't go to the prison during this period. I will give you the list of the main personnel and related information of this film festival. Please memorize it well."
The China International Film Festival has been scheduled to be held on the last day of December at the Olin International Convention and Exhibition Center in the imperial capital. Preparations for setting up the venue had already begun a month ago.
The International Film Festival is held every three years. Directors, stars and people in the industry from home and abroad will attend. Judges and reporters from all over the world will rush to the imperial capital. It is a huge event.
There are a total of thirty judges on the film festival, and the list of judges is carefully selected. They are well-known figures in various industries. Each of them holds a vote that determines who wins the film award.
Once an award is won at a film festival, its significance is not just as simple as receiving a trophy, but it proves that the actor's acting skills are recognized. After winning the award, the actor will come into the eyes of more directors and investors.
The most important thing is that at this time of year, investors and a large number of directors are very likely to negotiate new film investment and filming, and decide on the cast of male and female protagonists at such a grand event.
Every three years, the China International Film Festival is a time when major agencies, stars and directors gather frequently. Everyone is eager to be nominated and win awards in the film festival so that they can develop more smoothly in the industry in the future. The competition is fierce, and it is a war without gunpowder. (To be continued)
