This is Hong Baobao's first time playing a mermaid, and she finds it very novel.
Jing Pei was a complete novice; he knew nothing and knew nothing.
He did try to cram for a bit these past two days, but what he knows is only partial.
Jing Pei had never been particularly nervous before, but now, when he was about to act opposite Hong Baobao, he was quite nervous.
Jing Pei is good-looking, but even after the stylist did a good job with the look, he was still not satisfied.
Clearly, this look is quite good and suits Jing Pei well, but no matter how he looks at it, he always feels that something is missing.
Hong Baobao stood to the side, rubbing her chin and staring at Jing Pei for a while. She had a feeling that there was something strange about Jing Pei's look.
Jing Pei is quite good-looking. Even in the entertainment industry, where there are many handsome men, Jing Pei's appearance is considered one of the best.
Moreover, Jing Pei is rich; he's a typical "tall, rich, and handsome" guy.
Logically speaking, there should be quite a few people who like Jingpei.
In reality, very few people actually like Jingpei.
In short, Jingpei has never been very popular with women.
Even if it's for money, the number of people who would seduce Jing Pei and end up with him is pitifully small, almost nonexistent.
"Baby, how is it?" Jing Pei noticed that Hong Baobao was staring at him, and as she looked, she started to frown, which made Jing Pei think.
Is it because he's not handsome enough?
Jing Pei naturally noticed that the stylist's gaze towards him was not very satisfied.
While getting his hair styled, Jing Pei did look in the mirror, but he thought he looked very handsome, and he was quite satisfied with the look.
But judging from the stylist and Hung Bo-bo's appearance, it doesn't seem to be going very well.
"That's fine, it's good," Hong Baobao said.
Jing Pei plays the male lead, who is a poor scholar.
In the early stages, Jing Pei was dressed as a poor scholar.
Jing Pei's outfit, apart from looking like it's missing something, is actually quite good.
As for what exactly was missing, Hong Baobao really couldn't tell at the moment.
Not only could Hung Bo-bo not tell, but even the stylist couldn't tell.
In the end, we just left it at that.
However, when it came time for the audition, something else happened.
Jing Pei has never acted before, nor is he a professional actor; he has absolutely no talent in this area.
They were filming their first scene, but even this first scene kept getting stuck and they couldn't get it right.
Hong Baobao's acting skills are certainly up to par, without any problems.
The main issue is Jing Pei; he really has absolutely no acting skills.
Jing Pei thought acting was quite simple, but when he actually started acting, it was a completely different story, and he almost began to question his life.
At the beginning of the performance, Jing Pei had a good feeling about himself and thought he acted quite well.
However, after he got stuck a few times, he completely lost his composure.
The director frowned and shook his head. He really felt that Jing Pei was simply not cut out for acting.
"Baby, I think we should change the male lead."
Hong Baobao was not at all surprised that the director would say something like "change the male lead".
The main problem is that Jing Pei really has no acting skills.
Even though it's just a short drama, it can't be too bad, right?
While it may not be as polished as a TV drama, it should at least have some acting skills.
Jing Pei has absolutely no acting skills.
Hong Baobao also thought it wouldn't work.
Jing Pei was standing nearby when the director said this to Hong Baobao, so he naturally heard it.
Jing Pei sighed inwardly, thinking that it seemed impossible for him to develop feelings for Hong Baobao through filming.
“Baby, I’m not suited for acting. Let’s find someone else,” Jing Pei said to Hong Baobao.
Hong Baobao nodded and then made a phone call to find someone.
Their studio also signs artists.
However, since the studio has only been open for a short time and doesn't have much brand recognition, they haven't signed many artists yet.
Now that Jing Pei is no longer an option, the only recourse is to continue searching for Shen Yu.
Fortunately, Shen Yu was free recently, so Hong Baobao called him and briefly explained the situation. Shen Yu then agreed.
In fact, Shen Yu was quite suitable for this role, and his acting skills are also excellent, making him the perfect fit.
Jing Pei is no longer acting in this short drama, so he removed his makeup.
After Jing Pei removed his makeup, he didn't leave but stayed there.
Seeing that Jing Pei wasn't leaving, Hong Baobao couldn't possibly urge him to go.
Shen Yu arrived quite quickly, within an hour.
The stylist was busy styling Shen Yu, leaving only Hong Baobao and Jing Pei there.
Jingpei tried to find various topics to chat with Hong Baobao about, and eventually the conversation turned to acting.
Jing Pei's eyes darted around, and then he said to Hong Baobao, "Baobao, why don't you teach me how to act?"
Jingpei just wanted to find a random excuse to be with Hong Baobao.
However, Hong Baobao refused immediately after hearing what Jing Pei said.
“Brother Jing, if you really want to improve your acting skills, we can hire a teacher for you.” Hong Baobao naturally knew what Jing Pei was planning.
Actually, the reason Jing Pei came to film their short dramas wasn't because he liked acting at all.
If you like something, you'll continue doing it; but if you don't like it, you naturally won't be able to continue.
Moreover, Jing Pei also has company matters to attend to.
When Jing Pei first wanted to play this role, Hong Baobao guessed that he probably just wanted to play it for fun.
But after Jingpei confessed his feelings to her, Hong Baobao changed her mind.
On the contrary, she felt that the reason Jing Pei wanted to play this role was because of her.
It has to be said, Hung Bo-bo was right.
Jing Pei felt a tightness in his chest after being rejected by Hong Baobao without hesitation. He wanted to try to persuade Hong Baobao, but Hong Baobao clearly didn't want to talk to him and closed her eyes.
The chairs that Hung Bo-bo and Ching Pui were sitting on were a bit far apart.
However, Jing Pei thought it was fine this way, as he could openly stare at Hong Baobao.
The baby is so handsome, I never get tired of looking at him.
Jing Pei had already made up his mind. Even if his acting skills were not good enough to act with Hong Baobao, at least he could watch Baobao act.
So, he's planning to stay here.
This way, at least I can make my presence known to the baby.
Make yourself known to your baby often; she'll remember you eventually.
