Most importantly, Jiujiu was able to perfectly portray the role with only one page of the script. Director Wang could almost see Jiujiu's amazing performance after reading through the entire script.
Jiujiu just bowed and thanked Director Wang for informing her of the confirmation of the role and left directly.
Looking at Jiujiu's back, Director Wang muttered in his heart, "The new generation excels the old". He then continued to screen the other roles.
Director Wang's film was aiming to win an award, so it was almost a month later when all the roles were selected.
During this month, Jiujiu participated in a fashion week and even got the overall endorsement of the previous dress in the Asian region.
Although it was said that the overall endorsement in the Asian region might not be as good as the global endorsement, one had to know that Jiujiu's competitors for this endorsement were the best actresses from various countries, and even some popular celebrities. Jiujiu was chosen out of so many people, which showed Jiujiu's ability.
Of course, the main reason was that the artistic director thought highly of Jiujiu. He even invited Jiujiu to participate in the fashion show two months later after Jiujiu signed the contract.
After Jiujiu finished filming the commercial and the promotional poster, Director Wang's film just happened to start filming.
However, to Jiujiu's surprise, she saw Shui Lingyun on the set. However, she had already snatched the role of the third female lead, so Shui Lingyun only got a supporting role with a lot of screen time. Unfortunately, the character setting was not particularly likable.
If it was Jiujiu, she would rather not film such an unlikable role. However, not everyone had Jiujiu's ability, and not everyone had Jiujiu's perfect acting skills.
For Shui Lingyun, being able to act in Director Wang's film was already a miracle, not to mention that her role had quite a lot of screen time.
Therefore, even if the character setting was not likable, Shui Lingyun still accepted it.
After knowing that Jiujiu had accepted Director Wang's film, Han Ze directly invested a large sum of money.
Director Wang's films were basically filmed in secret. In other words, when filming his films, they were basically not allowed to leave the set, let alone play a role.
This was very normal for Jiujiu. However, for Shui Lingyun, who had accepted an idol drama that would start filming in a month's time, this wasn't good at all.
Because Shui Lingyun had a lot of screen time, and many of them were scenes with Jiujiu, Shui Lingyun was even more tragic.
Jiujiu was a person who could not stand Shui Lingyun, so she suppressed her in all kinds of ways. When filming a drama, she suppressed Shui Lingyun's scenes. When filming a movie, she suppressed her scenes..
If it was another director who saw Jiujiu suppressing Shui Lingyun in all kinds of scenes, he might have added a scene. However, Director Wang was not like that. He was famous for his bad taste. When he saw Jiujiu suppressing Shui Lingyun's scenes, his first reaction was not that Jiujiu had a grudge against Shui Lingyun, but excitement.
As the saying goes, if you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence.
According to Director Wang's thoughts, Shui Lingyun would either be suppressed by Jiujiu and become a pervert, or she would explode in silence and show an unprecedented performance.
Just like what Director Wang had imagined, Shui Lingyun exploded. Unfortunately, even if she exploded, it was still the same. Although she was no longer suppressed by Jiujiu, because she had been suppressed by Jiujiu too much previously, whether it was her expression or her lines, there was a sense of urgency.
It gave people the feeling that she wanted to end everything quickly.
However, the setting of Shui Lingyun's character also had such a feeling. Hence, as long as Shui Lingyun's urgency was not too much, Director Wang would let her pass.
However, because of Jiujiu suppressing Shui Lingyun in various ways previously, Shui Lingyun's scenes were delayed by a week. When she entered the drama set again, the director's expression was not very good.
The reason why the director chose Shui Lingyun was not only because Shui Lingyun had Han Dongyu as her backer, but also because Shui Lingyun was willing to lower the price.
Other young actresses would need five hundred thousand yuan for an episode of a drama, but Shui Lingyun only needed three hundred thousand yuan. She also promised to help increase the popularity of the drama when it was broadcast.
Only a fool would not agree to such a favorable condition.
The director wanted Shui Lingyun to stay because of the benefits that Shui Lingyun had given him. However, it did not mean that he was willing to see the female lead in another place after the drama had started filming for a week.
Even if Shui Lingyun apologized in various ways, the director still looked at her with disdain.
Shui Lingyun could not say anything about the director's attitude towards her. In her heart, she once again hated Jiujiu to the core.
If it was not because Jiujiu suppressing her scenes, she would not have entered the drama set late.
At this moment, the drama that she had been watching started broadcasting.
On the first day of the drama, the hot search was not about the male lead or the female lead. It was about the third female lead, Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's hot search was very simple and crude. It was about the world-class beauty, Nan Sheng.
Jiujiu was very good-looking. Furthermore, most of the costumes in the drama were long hair that draped over her shoulders and a white dress that fluttered in the wind. Especially that gorgeous face of hers, it gave people a holy and pure feeling. This caused the fans of the novel to exclaim that the character of Jiujiu was reproduced.
The author of the novel also directly posted that Jiujiu was the Nan Sheng in her heart.
In the original novel, the character of Nan Sheng was quite likable. Furthermore, Jiujiu was so reproduced that she naturally attracted a wave of fans. As for those who had not read the novel but had watched the drama, they did not need to mention.
As long as you were good-looking, whatever you said would be right. Furthermore, Jiujiu was extraordinarily good-looking.
Unlike Jiujiu who attracted a strong number of fans, because Jiujiu's scenes increased, there were some changes to Shui Lingyun's scenes as the female lead.
All in all, the parts that were likable were Jiujiu's and the parts that made people unhappy were mostly Jiujiu's. Furthermore, Shui Lingyun had been suppressed by Jiujiu. Therefore, Shui Lingyun's performance in the drama was very complicated.
After the first day ended, many people expressed that the other characters in the drama were still alright. It was just that the female lead, Shui Lingyun, was really too lousy.
It was fine if she was not good-looking. After all, in the original novel, the female lead was set to look like an ordinary person. However, what was with her acting cute and pouting?
Please, pouting occasionally is naive and unaffected. If you pout for no reason, do you think you are Peppa Pig?
As the drama was broadcasted, the other characters attracted more and more fans. Even Jiujiu became popular overnight. However, Shui Lingyun did not have many fans. Furthermore, every few days, there would be people criticizing her acting skills.
If Shui Lingyun had some acting skills, she would definitely fight back. However, her acting skills in the drama were really too bad. Therefore, Shui Lingyun could only endure it.
