Chapter 277 Actor
Chapter 277 Actor
However, Deng Lingxuan's acting skills used to rely entirely on instinct, so she was very happy to have this opportunity.
Although her acting skills were sufficient for her previous commercial films, she could clearly feel that there were still areas where she was lacking. However, the film's requirements were not high; a score of 60 was enough for the next take.
Furthermore, after evaluation, the company also believed that the risk was far outweighed by the potential development prospects that could be brought about by improved acting skills.
So she just wanted to take advantage of the time before the closed training to visit Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu, and let them know that she hadn't let them down.
The group chatted as they walked toward the house, and Sheng Luoxin and Xiao Ze also came over.
"Hanyu, Sanqing, why don't you go and rest too?"
Sheng Luoxin is more outgoing now and will take the initiative to greet people, but only to a small number of them. He saw Deng Lingxuan and asked, "Is this your friend? What's her name?"
When Deng Lingxuan saw who it was, she almost jumped up on the spot.
"!!! Sheng... Sheng..."
She was so surprised that she froze. She wanted to call him Teacher Sheng, but then she felt that it would conflict with how she addressed Sheng Hanyu, so she was stuck for a moment.
Sheng Hanyu laughed and said, "From now on, you can call me Master Sheng, just like you would Master Ye. Just think of me as the chef."
He didn't know why he said that; he just said it offhand. After thinking about it, he felt it made perfect sense!
"Haha, Master Sheng is alright." Ye Sanqing laughed as soon as he heard that, and it suited his temperament when he was fishing and cooking.
“Teacher Sheng! I...I...I…” Deng Lingxuan continued to stutter in her speech.
"Dad, this is Xiao Deng. You might not remember him, he was on a variety show before..."
Sheng Hanyu instinctively wanted to introduce her, but when Sheng Luoxin heard the name "Deng," she realized what he meant and said, "I've seen your TV series, when you were very young..."
Deng Lingxuan was considered a national sweetheart back then, but she didn't expect Sheng Luoxin to know her, after all, the drama that made her famous was a long time ago.
Although she was young at the time, Sheng Luoxin should have been out of the entertainment industry for at least seven or eight years, and she didn't expect the other party to pay attention to her situation.
"It's a great honor!"
"Hello, Xiao Deng, you've grown so much!" Sheng Luoxin extended his hand to shake hers, and Deng Lingxuan awkwardly cooperated.
In Sheng Luoxin's memory, Deng Lingxuan was a very spirited little girl when she was young, but for some reason, apart from her famous work, she didn't make much of a splash afterward.
While this is partly due to Sheng Luoxin's limited exposure to mainland Chinese entertainment productions, the biggest reason is that Deng Lingxuan's subsequent resources have indeed been only average or below average...
"What are you doing lately? I'd like to go see it when it's showing. It's been a long time since I've seen your work."
Sheng Luoxin said that he remembered seeing Deng Lingxuan on a variety show, but why didn't she have any other works?
After all, Sheng Luoxin mainly focuses on Sheng Hanyu's live stream when watching variety shows, and he subconsciously ignores other people. It's already quite good that he remembers Deng Lingxuan appearing.
He genuinely didn't know the other person's situation, but Deng Lingxuan felt somewhat ashamed after hearing it. Coupled with her already nervous state, she was even more unable to respond.
Seeing Deng Lingxuan's stiff expression, Ye Sanqing said, "Little Deng is currently working at my brother's company, the same company as me. She just finished filming a movie and took some time out of her busy schedule to come see us. Next, Little Deng will have to go for training, and we'll definitely show Teacher Sheng some great work then."
Although Ye Sanqing sometimes gets stuck when making polite remarks, he is still more fluent than Deng Lingxuan when it comes to stating established facts.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely improve my acting skills!" Deng Lingxuan suddenly became enthusiastic after being stuck for a long time.
She had such a respected senior in the industry watching her; how could she possibly perform poorly? She absolutely couldn't let Senior Sheng down!
"Young people are so great."
Sheng Luoxin didn't know what was wrong with her, but she was also affected by her emotions and smiled.
The group went to Ye Sanqing's place to rest and chat. Ji Wan had also settled in and came over.
"Hello, Master Ye. Hello, Xiao Sheng. Sheng... wait? Teacher Sheng?"
Ji Wan also got stuck, but not as badly as Deng Lingxuan.
Unfortunately, the production team hasn't made an official announcement yet. It would be news if Sheng Luoxin appeared in public, let alone on a film set.
"Starting today, I'm Master Sheng," Sheng Hanyu announced, then began to introduce, "This is my dad, Sheng Luoxin. Although you probably already know... Dad, this is Ji Wan, Xiao Deng's uncle, and also an actor. You should have seen him on variety shows."
Ji Wanji was surprised by Sheng Luoxin's presence, and then by Sheng Hanyu's solemn address.
actor……?
He was suddenly moved, not for any other reason than the word "actor".
He used to be "that extra," "that actor in short plays," "that person who slept in a basement"...
"Hello, Mr. Sheng. I have always admired your acting skills."
Ji Wan said solemnly.
He was an honest man to begin with, and this solemnity made him appear extremely sincere, creating an atmosphere that was strangely austere...
"Uh. Thank you for your appreciation. I never expected so many people would still remember me..."
Sheng Luoxin was the one who showed her emotion first, her tone filled with emotion.
"How could I forget you? Impossible!"
Ji Wan suddenly raised his voice, then awkwardly scratched his head. "Sorry, I'm a bit bad at talking, please don't mind. What I mean is, Teacher Sheng's masterpiece back then was truly divine; once you've seen it, you can never forget it."
What he didn't say was that it was Sheng Luoxin's performance that sparked his dream of becoming an actor.
Unfortunately, his appearance is completely different from others, and his career has always been mediocre. He has struggled and struggled to get to where he is today, and he can barely make a name for himself. Ji Wan is embarrassed to say this.
Is this Sheng Luoxin's masterpiece...?
Ye Sanqing had actually seen it, but at the time she was focused on increasing the number of films she watched and didn't pay special attention to who the actors were. After watching it, she simply marked it "to be studied further" and never had time to watch it again.
That white dress she wore while dancing under the moon is truly unforgettable...
Deng Lingxuan added from the side, "Yes! It left a deep impression!"
Sheng Luoxin felt embarrassed by his words. "Thank you, but I... I don't have anything to repay you with. May I give you some posters as souvenirs later?"
Sheng Luoxin felt somewhat ashamed, which was actually the reason why he couldn't access his own forum.
Seeing so many people's emotions affected by him, he finds it hard to face it and will doubt his decision back then even more.
So, what exactly made him decide to leave the entertainment industry back then?
