"Since it's a female-led revenge drama, the level of the villain actually determines the level of the female lead. In other words, if the villain is a stereotypical evil woman, the level of the female lead's character won't be very high either."
Jiang Nian didn't care about other people's opinions and spoke up.
Why is Bai Qiuxue such a vicious character? Is she a spoiled princess from a wealthy family who bullies others because she is born evil? What does she want to gain or release?
"In my opinion, she has received too much, so she is afraid of losing it. Her parents' love and pride, her academic achievements, and her classmates' respect and envy are all dazzling burdens. But she wants them all, so she has to pretend."
"In front of others, I always present myself as the kindest and most innocent person, which is why I need to release my suppressed emotions by hurting others in private."
"A character who wears an innocent smile while doing the most heinous things will have a greater contrast. With contrast, the audience will delve deeper into the character and empathize with him, which is what makes a great villain."
Everyone present was stunned when Jiang Nian said this.
Ji Yuwei's mocking tone froze instantly.
After hearing this, the director couldn't help but be surprised: "What you said is really good. Little sister, what's your name? Have you studied this before?"
"No."
"No, the character you described has inspired me. I need to make some changes to the character of Bai Qiuxue. I need to think about how to change it..."
The director immediately became very enthusiastic.
Jiang Nian suggested, "How about I act out what I think Bai Qiuxue is like for the director? Perhaps it will be more inspiring for you."
"You'll act?"
The director sized up Jiang Nian. Judging from the girl's appearance alone, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she far surpassed Ji Yuwei and Ming Xin.
Even though he had no acting experience and no acting skills, he was still looking forward to seeing what kind of Bai Qiuxue the young girl could portray.
He readily agreed: "Sure, you can give it a try. Your deskmate can act alongside you."
Unexpectedly, the girl stood still.
"I think that since this Ms. Ji Yuwei will mainly be filming scenes where the female lead suffers psychological trauma and seeks revenge after swapping bodies with the villain."
"Ms. Ji should experience the female lead's past experiences and traumas firsthand to gain a deeper understanding. This will help her to be more in character when filming later."
"It won't be like before, where we had to do retakes over and over again, wasting everyone's time, and in the end we had to say that the first take was the best."
Jiang Nian raised her eyes and said, "So, director, is it okay if I film this scene with Ms. Ji Yuwei?"
