Chapter 1669 - 606: Stunning (Part 3)

The contrast is too great; if not handled well, both roles may end up flopping!

"...Everyone has finished reading the script, right? Let’s do a read-through first!"

Director Feng saw Fu Shaojing, Wu Kai, and Cheng Yiming staring dazedly at their scripts and smiled to break the silence.

"Alright!"

Fu Shaojing and the others had no objections. They too wanted to see how He Tiantian, with her connections, understood the roles.

If the script reading didn’t come together, there would be no point in filming.

They took the opportunity to suggest improvements to the director, giving themselves a reasonable excuse.

However, Fu Shaojing and the others did not anticipate He Tiantian’s stunning performance that followed.

When she played the Eldest Miss of the Martial Arts Hall, she encountered the street-thrashed thug Guo Ahmao and saved him.

She brought Guo Ahmao back to the Martial Arts Hall, gave him medicine for his wounds, invited him to meals, and even allowed him to work odd jobs at the hall to earn pocket money.

She was as gentle as pure white moonlight, illuminating Guo Ahmao’s bleak and miserable life.

The Eldest Miss discovered Guo Ahmao had a knack for Martial Arts and broke the rules to teach him.

As both mentor and friend, the Eldest Miss was undeniably the most important and revered person in Guo Ahmao’s heart.

He Tiantian did not wear makeup, nor did she improvise, but her immersive line reading exuded a soft, compassionate aura from within.

So this is what it means to be a White Moonlight, a noble and kind redemption for others.

"This is nothing; perhaps it’s an example of natural acting talent."

Fu Shaojing and Cheng Yiming were still hesitant to draw conclusions too hastily.

They were both experienced actors and knew well that portraying a good person is not too difficult.

The challenge lies in playing a major villain without drawing ire from the audience!

Only when a villain can make people feel: he’s just on a different path from the protagonist, loyal to his cause with his own struggles, that’s true success.

To achieve such an effect, the villain’s redeeming qualities must be portrayed, and with "personal charisma," winning fans becomes feasible.

Compared to the simple Eldest Miss, Rose was much more complex.

She and the Eldest Miss were twins, but she got lost as a child and was taken in by a missionary, who brought her abroad.

As an orphan abroad, she drifted around, suffering greatly, and learned to lie, cheat, and was even trained as a spy for survival.

She had no concept of country or patriotism.

What she firmly believed in was the law of the jungle, and in her eyes, there was only money.

She was willing to sacrifice everything for money.

She was a siren, known as the "Thousand-faced Rose," wanted by several countries.

For a mission, she came to Hua Country, boarded a cruise heading to Xiangjiang, and came into conflict with the three male leads.

Of course, in the midst of the conflict, she was moved by Guo Zhenhua (formerly Guo Ahmao) and guided by Su Qichen, eventually helping out as an anti-Japanese activist.

Perhaps she still didn’t understand the concept of sacrificing oneself for the country and the people.

But she learned to respect and began to understand her homeland, her compatriots, and slowly found the right path.

One could say that Rose’s role was even more complex than the villain Major Inukai.

After all, Inukai was evil through and through, merely putting on a facade in public, without any real transformation.

But Rose had a transformation, from determination to confusion and back to determination.

This process was particularly difficult to portray.

Fu Shaojing and Cheng Yiming pondered internally, realizing that there are less than a handful of actresses in the entire entertainment industry capable of portraying such a complex role.

And the experienced actors are generally not that young.

The role of Rose is set at about twenty years old.

Veteran actors who are too old would struggle to play a naïve twenty-year-old girl.

Meanwhile, newcomers who are too young find it hard to convey the complexity of the character!

Sigh—

The script was well-revised, and the newly added roles were fantastic.

But good actors are hard to find!

However, Fu Shaojing and the others did not worry for long; they soon began rehearsing with He Tiantian.

Without makeup or costume changes, He Tiantian, in casual clothing—a sweatshirt, and jeans—began saying Rose’s lines, and her entire demeanor transformed—

A pure-blooded Hua Country person with black hair and eyes, speaking with a foreign accent, yet her youthful face gave off countless charms!
