NOVEL NEXT Chapter 375: The Expressive Zhao Min
"So testing it here now," isn't that wasting time, then what is it?
"Then, Boss Wang, Zhao Min, both of you take a look at the script first, and let's act out this part." Wu Naifu handed the script to Wang Ye and Zhao Min and spoke to them.
This plot revolves around a female protagonist who initially married the male lead just to avoid her family's pressure to marry. However, after the marriage, she discovered that the male lead was commendable in both abilities and personality. She developed feelings for him, but he always adhered to their agreement and never overstepped boundaries, which somewhat frustrated the female lead.
In the process of the female lead becoming agitated again, she confesses her feelings to the male lead. The reactions and performances between them are the focus.
This scene places heavy demands on the acting skills of both the male and female leads. Basically, by watching this scene alone, one could determine how good Wang Ye's acting is.
Wang Ye received the script, briefly glanced at it, and immediately said, "Let's start right away."
"Hmm?"
Lang Ren and Wu Naifu both paused upon hearing what Wang Ye said.
They hadn't expected Wang Ye to want to start right after just a cursory glance at the script.
Isn't this just fooling around?
Just a cursory glance at the script, how could he possibly remember his lines? Could it be that Wang Ye planned from the start to just say "1234" and have others dub for him?
Thinking this, Lang Ren and Wu Naifu had even less hope for Wang Ye.
If it were someone else, with the temperaments of Lang Ren and Wu Naifu, they would've scolded him and kicked him out by now, but since it was Wang Ye, they could only wait for him to finish his performance and then tell him it wasn't working.
Zhao Min glared at Wang Ye. She had fully memorized the script beforehand and knew the lines inside out.
Even so, when she received the script, Zhao Min would still choose to look it over a few times before starting, but Wang Ye, from the beginning, had just skimmed through the script and insisted on starting.
Lang Ren and Wu Naifu might not be able to say anything to Wang Ye at this moment, but Zhao Min, as Wang Ye's senior, still had the right to speak to him now.
Zhao Min coldly looked at Wang Ye and said, "What now? Just because the netizens call you the 'new national husband," do you really think you are a trending star, copying those celebrities by not memorizing your lines? Are you here to count 'one, two, three, four, five, six, seven' for me?"
"No, that's not it."
Listening to Zhao Min's words, Wang Ye was somewhat amused and explained to Zhao Min, "I just glanced at it, and I've already memorized the lines inside."
Lang Ren and Wu Naifu turned their heads to the side, their expressions full of helplessness.
Just by one glance, Wang Ye had memorized all the lines?
Of course, they didn't believe him!
Although they didn't believe, they also couldn't show it at this moment.
Zhao Min felt a bit panicky upon hearing Wang Ye's words.
It wasn't for any other reason, but Zhao Min believed that Wang Ye had indeed memorized the lines.
Having grown up with Wang Ye since childhood, Zhao Min knew his memory was exceptionally clear.
Because of her mood, Zhao Min had forgotten about Wang Ye's strong memory when he had first spoken the lines.
"You've memorized the lines, so why don't you cultivate some emotions and use them when you act?" Zhao Min asked, arching her eyebrows, still pressing Wang Ye.
"No need, let's start directly. Trust me," Wang Ye grinned at Zhao Min. Zhao Min wanted to say more, but seeing Wang Ye's attitude, her heart softened, and after nurturing her emotions, she began to confess her feelings to Wang Ye, following the emotional cues of the script.
Lang Ren and Wu Naifu also turned their heads at this moment, watching Zhao Min perform.
It had to be said, Zhao Min's acting skills were truly exceptional; she had a natural talent for acting. She merely nurtured her emotions momentarily, then threw herself into the performance immediately.
Every microexpression, every action, was infused with Zhao Min's intended meaning, creating a tremendous tension in her performance.
"Excellent! Excellent! Zhao Min's acting skills are truly superb, each microexpression brings a surprising sensation, and the tension she displays is even more perfect than I had imagined."
Wu Naifu commented, believing that if Zhao Min continued this trend, she would definitely make a place for herself in the entertainment industry in the future.
Perhaps, it was also very possible that she could become a queen of the industry.
As for Wang Ye...
Lang Ren and Wu Naifu turned their attention to Wang Ye. Zhao Min's performance was complete, and now it was Wang Ye's turn to perform.
However, neither Lang Ren nor Wu Naifu had any expectations for Wang Ye's upcoming performance.
Having no prior experience in acting and having barely glanced at the script just moments ago, he had not even read some lines carefully.
In such a situation, even if Lang Ren and Wu Naifu wanted to have expectations for Wang Ye, they couldn't deceive themselves against their conscience.
Meeting Zhao Min's entrancing eyes, Wang Ye felt a deep affection in her gaze, as if the words she spoke were not merely part of the acting but were genuinely meant to communicate her feelings for him, seizing the moment to do so.
Having nurtured his emotions as per the script's character, Wang Ye began to speak the lines, continuously maintaining eye contact with Zhao Min throughout his speech.
Lang Ren and Wu Naifu watched Wang Ye and Zhao Min intently, and as Wang Ye spoke his first line, both showed expressions of surprise on their faces.
Because in their view, Wang Ye, having just glanced at the lines momentarily before, managed not only to speak all his lines accurately now.
There wasn't a hint of hesitation.
Although he had altered some words in the process, actors don't really need to stick to the script verbatim as long as they convey the intended meaning.
However.
The lines Wang Ye had altered in his speech had effectively transformed the script's lines into something even more expressive, enhancing the performance with just a few word changes.
