But it's also true that she's a good actress. If you don't have good acting skills and there are too many takes when acting opposite her, she won't care about the crew and will directly argue with people, speaking in a very sarcastic way.
The reason Zhou Cheng knows Tang Mo'er so well is because he worked with her once before, but in that drama, Tang Mo'er played a supporting role, not the lead.
Now, she plays the female lead in "The Blooming of Pear Blossoms". The other supporting actors are almost all actors who have been in the industry for several years. Moreover, they were personally selected by Ming Qiu, so their acting skills are all on point.
Qiao Nansheng is not from a professional acting background, and she has only been learning acting skills for half a month. The filming of "Tangli Blossoms" will start on the 5th of next month, so there is very little she can learn.
Moreover, he couldn't really teach her anything; he could only share his thoughts and mindset from filming with her. Everything else she needed to do was to constantly think about and practice on her own in private.
Without talent, no amount of practice will work. Fortunately, Qiao Nansheng has decent talent; once she gets into character and immerses herself in the role, the performance is quite good.
…
Xiao Qiao didn't get any stronger today either: Okay, I'm going to go read the script now, bye~
After sending the message, Qiao Nansheng quickly exited the chat with Zhou Cheng. She let out a long sigh, and seeing that it wasn't eight o'clock yet, she put down her phone and focused on eating strawberries.
A few minutes later, Liu Xu brought out the strawberry milkshake she had made for her: "Madam, it's ready."
Qiao Nansheng took a big sip through the straw, the icy milkshake sliding down her throat into her stomach. She felt refreshed but also cold. Drinking an iced milkshake in winter is probably... a sweet torture.
Qiao Nansheng drank several mouthfuls in a row, feeling a slight pain in her throat from the cold, before putting the strawberry milkshake aside and picking up the script to start reading.
Liu Xu sat next to her and curiously leaned over to look: "Madam, what kind of movie are you going to film? You're already taking on roles before you've even debuted?"
While eating strawberries and reading the script, Qiao Nansheng answered Liu Xu's question slowly and deliberately: "Your brother has a role in a script that he can't find a suitable actor for, so he recommended me to take the role."
Liu Xu gave an "oh" and drew out the last syllable: "That's right, with my brother around, would I be worried about not getting any scripts? As long as he says the word, I can film whatever I want..."
As she spoke, she belatedly realized something, and stared wide-eyed at Qiao Nansheng: "Brother, you've taken on a role too??? A new one?"
"Mmm." Qiao Nansheng nodded slowly, and the next second Liu Xu lifted her head up while holding her.
Liu Xu looked at her with bright, expectant eyes: "Is the lady playing the female lead in the drama? Does she have a kissing scene with my brother?"
"..." Woman, why is your focus so strange?
Qiao Nansheng coughed lightly: "No, no, it's the female supporting character."
There were kissing scenes and bed scenes, but not many.
Having spent some time with her, Liu Xu was already familiar with her personality. She knew that when she lied, she would unconsciously clench her palms. Upon seeing this, she immediately exclaimed, "Wow~ If I were to film a kissing scene with you, I would definitely do it myself."
Qiao Nansheng: "..." Could it be that he used a body double for all his kissing scenes before?
Before the question could even be uttered, Liu Xu screamed, "Ahhh, my brother's first on-screen kiss is finally going to be given away!! I'm so happy!!"
And it was dedicated to his wife!
Not one of those flashy, cheap female celebrities in the industry!
"..." Qiao Nansheng's face darkened: "Shouldn't you be angry and unhappy to see your favorite idol kiss another woman? What are you happy about?"
Liu Xu: "I know that my wife and brother are husband and wife!"
"..." Qiao Nansheng was even more confused. What was there to be happy about?
Liu Xu was happy for a while, then suddenly said, "However, if the fans find out that my brother is going to film a kissing scene, and he does it himself, without a stunt double or any camera tricks, they will definitely be very sad."
Qiao Nansheng nodded: "Yes, that's how it should be..."
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Xu interrupted her again: "So, Madam, you should be prepared to be scolded by everyone."
After Liu Xu finished speaking, her gaze towards Qiao Nansheng suddenly turned one of deep heartache.
Imagine how heartbroken the fans of Zhou Cheng, who didn't know he and Qiao Nansheng were married, must be when they found out that Zhou Cheng hadn't used a body double for his kissing scenes with Qiao Nansheng.
More rational fans wouldn't think there's anything wrong with it. Actors, kissing while filming is normal, it's just that some people keep their on-screen first kiss to themselves, and when filming, they either use body doubles or camera tricks.
However, irrational fans of the city will make sarcastic remarks or hurl insults.
Qiao Nansheng: "..."
She remained silent, staring at the willow catkins without saying a word.
"Ahem..." Liu Xu felt inexplicably uneasy under her gaze, and coughed twice before saying, "But that's not necessarily true. If everyone likes Madam as much as I do, then they won't scold you."
Qiao Nansheng: "There's no 'what if'."
"No, yes, yes! You have to believe me, Madam." Liu Xu started showering her with compliments: "Madam is so beautiful that everyone will definitely like her. Who would have the heart to scold you then?"
Qiao Nansheng chuckled: "Don't give me that crap, get out of here."
She pushed the willow catkins aside and looked down at the script.
Undeterred, Liu Xu leaned closer again: "Madam, just one last question out of curiosity, which drama did my brother take on? What's it called?"
Qiao Nansheng closed the script and showed it to her: "The pear blossoms are in bloom."
After receiving the title of the new play Zhou Cheng had been given, Liu Xu walked away contentedly, without bothering her any further.
Qiao Nansheng glanced at the script and then at the original novel, and before she knew it, it was eight o'clock.
Her mind was already filled with the novel's plot, and she had no interest in watching the latest episode of "Man vs. Wild" on the LCD screen.
Since she could watch the rerun anyway, Qiao Nansheng turned off the TV and settled down to read the script.
…
At midnight, Liu Xu got up to drink water because she was thirsty. Seeing that she was still reading the script in the living room, she couldn't help but say, "Madam, it's time to go to sleep. You can read it tomorrow."
Qiao Nansheng gave a muffled "Mmm": "I know, go to sleep, don't worry about me."
The original novel is only 400,000 words long. She read some in the morning, and after lunch she continued reading until now. She only needs a few tens of thousands of words to reach the ending.
I'm so close to finishing this, I have to finish it before I go to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to fall asleep, my mind is full of the novel's plot.
Liu Xu couldn't persuade her, so she didn't say anything more. When she went to the kitchen to get water, she also poured her a glass.
At 12:40, Qiao Nansheng finally finished reading the last few tens of thousands of words of the original novel.
After watching the finale, she felt like she had a lump in her throat, unable to swallow or exhale, feeling extremely frustrated.
