Chapter 200 Discussing Roles
"No, he came just when I was injured. It's time for him to leave now." Shi Feiye gestured to Qin Buzhu, "If you are busy, then go first."
Han Wenya's heart suddenly tightened, and without thinking, she blurted out: "Will Mr. Qin not wait for Ah Ye's wound to heal before leaving?"
"My wound is not a big problem. He has a lot of things to do, so there is no need for him to stay here to take care of me. Besides, I can move around on my own. If anything happens, I can call for help."
Shi Feiye looked at Qin Buju, who nodded at her and said something else. When he saw Han Wenya standing next to him, he didn't say much and just turned and left.
Han Wenya was just about to say something to keep Qin Buju, but suddenly she remembered that if she said this, wouldn't it mean that Qin Buju didn't care much about Shi Feiye?
If she kept Qin Buju, it would give him and Shi Feiye more time to spend together. It would be better to let Qin Buju leave first, and then she would slowly think of a solution later.
After thinking this through, Han Wenya stopped talking about Qin Buju and just sat next to Shi Feiye in a very friendly manner, chatting with her with a smile:
"Then if you need anything, you must tell me. Don't be polite or force yourself. We have known each other for such a long time. It's a rare opportunity for us to work together."
"Well, don't worry. If I really need you, I will call you and won't be polite with you. By the way, what role are you playing here?" Shi Feiye didn't know what else to say to Han Wenya, so he had to talk about work.
"She's the previous witch of the cult." Han Wenya's tone was somewhat helpless when she spoke. She wanted to play a role with more screen time, but her agent couldn't get her the role, so there was nothing she could do.
Shi Feiye thought of the image of the witch, and then looked at Han Wenya. The more he looked at her, the more awkward it felt. The previous witch of the Demon Cult was a natural seductress, but she had a cold personality. She was the kind of character who could invisibly attract people to die for her, but she didn't care at all.
As for Han Wenya, she has the typical image of a saintly female protagonist. It’s okay for her to play a decent saint. Well, no, the decent saint lacks some fairy spirit. She should be a decent female protagonist. Letting her play a witch, Shi Feiye doesn’t know what Director Wang is thinking.
Maybe she couldn't see the actor's potential, or maybe the makeup artist had powerful skills to change people's faces?
"That's good too. Although this witch doesn't have many scenes, the character is very deep and unique, and easy for the audience to remember. If she performs well, she might become the audience's favorite."
What Shi Feiye said was the truth. This character was of great importance to her. She had spent a lot of time and energy in conceiving the image of this character. She liked this witch even more than the heroine.
Han Wenya disagreed in her heart. She felt that if one wanted to act, one had to appear in front of the audience frequently. Otherwise, why would everyone be competing for the leading female role or supporting female role? Even if the guest role was outstanding, could it be compared to the number of times one appeared?
Han Wenya's life has not been easy. She was originally a salesperson. She had no outstanding looks or talents. She had lived an ordinary life in her previous life. She thought that life was just going to work every day, watching customers show off their wealth invisibly, listening to her sisters' complaints, and then reading novels and going shopping. Who knew that a car accident would bring her to the novel she had just read.
She had never been an actress and had never expected to make millions of dollars as soon as she came here. Although this amount of money was not too much for an actress, it was quite a lot for her who was not rich to begin with.
She also has a lot of brand-name bags and clothes, and fans who like her, although not a lot, but this is the life she once dreamed of. When she realized that she had traveled into a novel and became the heroine, the satisfaction and excitement in her heart were simply indescribable, and her life was about to reach its peak from then on.
The difficulty was that she didn't realize how difficult it was for someone who had never been an actor to become an actor. At the beginning, she was criticized and scolded because she didn't know how to do it. It was only through her hard practice in secret that she was able to keep up with the progress.
However, Han Wenya, who had already relaxed and thought that she only needed to follow the plot, did not know that being an actor was not as simple as she thought. Simply acting was simple, but how to grasp the facial expressions, how to frame the shot, and how to interpret the role were all things that the actors themselves needed to slowly grasp.
What Shi Feiye said just now are all true. Whether a character can be liked by the audience is not only determined by the number of times he appears, but also by the charm of the character itself. A good supporting role can even crush the protagonist, and an outstanding guest appearance may also become the white moonlight in the hearts of countless audiences.
Han Wenya doesn't understand this truth, and her mind is full of the plot. Compared with the original hard-working, diligent and kind heroine, I'm afraid she still has a long way to go.
"You're right. But whether it's outstanding or not, I will try my best to play this role well, so that I can live up to the audience who loves me."
Han Wenya knew very well that character setting must be established well, so she spoke positive and optimistic words without hesitation, speaking as if they were real, and even acted as if she was begging Master Feiye:
"Aye, you're the screenwriter, so you have to help me this time. I just got here, and I only had time to read the novel and the script once, so I don't have time to think about it slowly. Can you explain it to me?"
Shi Feiye was happy to face actors who were serious about understanding the characters she had written, no matter what their identities were. She took out her own experiences and began to share them with Han Wenya.
Han Wenya saw that she had taken out a notebook and felt amused. A gold-digger who had entered the crew through connections and used a title to gain experience was actually quite good at pretending. There were a lot of things written down in the notebook, but did Shi Feiye know how to be a screenwriter? Perhaps she didn't even know how to handle the relationships between the characters?
However, she still put on an expression of great anticipation and seriousness, and winked at her agent.
This has become a common tactic. Taking some photos while the artist is acting attentively can be used to establish their character later, and can also be used to whitewash themselves in case they are slandered.
Of course, you have to take pictures secretly, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the crew found out.
Shi Feiye didn't notice Han Wenya's little movements, but just started to explain to Han Wenya seriously. She started with the background of the character, and then talked about the ups and downs of the story in those years. A seemingly simple role was made extremely complicated by her, but the character's personality and many choices also had their origins.
However, Han Wenya didn't want to listen at all. She felt that she was just playing a guest role, not even a supporting role. What was the point of listening to so much? Could they expect her to perform such a complicated thing in such a short time? Come on, she didn't need to spend this effort.
After Shi Feiye talked for a while, she noticed that Han Wenya was absent-minded, so she kindly asked:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell or is there something wrong?"
"No, I just feel it's a little difficult to act. I'm thinking about how to show it. It's okay, Ah Ye, go on."
Han Wenya's words made sense, but she couldn't help but think of the complaints from her former sisters:
'Why are those rich people so interesting? They take everything for granted, thinking that others live the same way as them and that they have the time and patience to think carefully about things like them. We are all people who pursue efficiency, so who would be so boring?'
This was the feeling that Shi Feiye gave Han Wenya at the moment. She thought with disapproval that a role like the one she played was just okay. Only a naive person like Shi Feiye who lived a carefree life would be so naive as to think about a role for so long.
But it's better this way, a naive and innocent girl is better than a female supporting role with a lot of ulterior motives to hurt others, Han Wenya thought silently in her heart, and the expression on her face became more serious.
However, Shi Feiye has seen what serious actors are like. Wan Fu was very serious when communicating with her about the role, and the female lead Wu Chunqian was equally serious. When everyone enters the working state, they will not just listen to the screenwriter like Han Wenya, everyone will communicate with each other.
This kind of communication will not be unusual due to each other's views. Even Wu Kui will enter the working state when communicating with her. He will think and consider according to the various performances of the character to decide whether there is a problem with saying a word or whether an action is appropriate.
Since Han Wenya didn't want to listen, Shi Feiye felt sorry that her role was not taken seriously by the actors, but she had to accept it. She smiled and said politely to Han Wenya:
"This is roughly the role. I'm not an actor, so I can only give my own opinion. How to play it specifically depends on how you want to perform. This is all I can do to help you."
Han Wenya immediately smiled and said, "Don't say that. I have learned a lot from listening to what you said just now, Aye. I feel that my understanding of this role has deepened a lot. I have to thank you. Otherwise, I will treat you to lunch today. It just so happens that my assistant is going to order sushi for me."
This is the first time I've seen someone invite someone to dinner and decide what to treat them without even asking them.
Shi Feiye smiled even more politely:
"I just told you not to be polite to me, but you are being polite to me. These are what I should do. Besides, we have known each other for a long time. You just arrived, so you must have a lot of things to do. How can I waste your time? The more we are friends, the more I can't hold you back like this. Go and get busy. I won't be polite to you if I need you."
Han Wenya was anxious and wanted to ask Shi Feiye about Qin Buru, but at this time Wan Fu came over:
"Aye, I just finished filming a scene and came here, so I didn't have time to ask you, how are you doing? Are you feeling better? I saw that you were seriously injured the day before yesterday, and your wound has been bleeding."
