Chapter 390 Guidance on the Maze
Chapter 390 Guidance on the Maze
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on every corner of the film and television base, bringing a perfect end to the day's hard work.
After the shooting, the actors left the scene one after another, some returned to the lounge to fix their makeup, and some gathered in twos and threes to discuss their feelings about today's shooting.
Li Mengqi stood aside, her eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and desire. She knew that this was a rare opportunity, an opportunity that would take her career to the next level.
Finally, after everyone had dispersed, Li Mengqi plucked up the courage and walked towards Jiang Ning who was about to leave.
Her heart beat faster and her palms were slightly sweaty, but she knew that if she missed this opportunity, she might regret it for the rest of her life.
"Mr. Jiang, may I bother you for a moment?"
Li Mengqi's voice was trembling a little, but her eyes were firm.
Jiang Ning stopped and looked back at the young actress. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a gentle smile.
"Of course, Mengqi, what's the matter?"
Li Mengqi took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer.
"I would like to ask you some questions about acting. I know your time is valuable, but I would be very grateful if you were willing to give me some guidance."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly. She saw the sincerity and desire in Li Mengqi's eyes. This love for art and pursuit of room for improvement reminded her of herself when she was young.
She was very happy that the people under her had such a high level of awareness.
"Mengqi, I'm glad you're so proactive. Let's find a quiet place to sit down and talk."
The two came to a small cafe at the film and television base. The atmosphere here was warm and quiet, very suitable for conversation.
In this quiet corner of the coffee shop, Jiang Ning lightly clicked twice on the smart ordering device in his hand, ordered two cups of fragrant coffee, and then smiled and pushed one of the cups to Li Mengqi who was sitting opposite him.
Li Mengqi glanced at Jiang Ning gratefully, then took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and spoke first:
"Jiang Jie, I've encountered some difficulties in acting recently... For example, how can I understand and integrate into the role more deeply? Also, how can I switch between various emotions naturally and smoothly? In addition, how can I grasp the interaction with the opponent actor?"
Every question she raised was so precise and practical, fully demonstrating that she had spent a lot of time and effort in private to study and ponder these issues.
Jiang Ning listened attentively and nodded slightly from time to time to express his affirmation and encouragement to Li Mengqi.
After the other party finished speaking, she slowly opened her mouth and responded in a tone that was full of theoretical depth and practical experience:
"Well, Mengqi, you asked a good question. If you want to truly integrate into the role, you must first deeply understand their inner world. Try to imagine yourself as that character and feel his/her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. This will make your performance more realistic. As for the transition of emotions, you can improve it through practice, such as trying to quickly switch between different emotional states in a short period of time."
At this point, Jiang Ning paused, took a sip of coffee, and continued:
"There is also interaction with the opposing actors, which requires good communication and tacit understanding. Communicate more in advance and understand each other's ideas and intentions, so that you can cooperate more naturally on stage. In fact, it took me many years of hard work in the entertainment industry to gradually figure out these tricks. When I first debuted, I also encountered many unknown difficulties and setbacks. But it was these experiences that allowed me to accumulate valuable experience."
Unconsciously, time passed by like flowing water. The waiters in the cafe have already started to pack up and prepare to end the day's business.
However, Jiang Ning and Li Mengqi, who were immersed in a heated discussion, were unaware of it, as if they had forgotten everything around them.
At this moment, the conversation between them has already surpassed the ordinary scope of teachers and students. It is more like two like-minded friends learning from each other and growing together.
It became a spiritual exchange and an exploration of the true meaning of art.
Finally, when the lights in the cafe dimmed and the waiter had to remind them, Jiang Ning and Li Mengqi realized that it was getting late.
Jiang Ning stood up and patted Li Mengqi on the shoulder.
"Mengqi, you have extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts. I believe you will become a great actor. Remember, the road of art is endless. As long as you maintain your love for it and keep challenging yourself, you will be able to keep moving forward."
Tears flashed in Li Mengqi's eyes. She held Jiang Ning's hand tightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Your guidance means a lot to me. I will definitely work hard and not let you down."
From that day on, Li Mengqi's career seemed to have taken off, getting better and better, to the point where everyone envied her.
With the help and support of Jiang Ning, she received more important roles, her acting skills became more and more sophisticated, and she gradually emerged in the entertainment industry.
And because of discovering such a new star, Jiang Ning's position in the industry has become more solid, and her career has reached a new height.
The relationship between the two also turned into a deep friendship.
They support each other, grow together, and become an indispensable part of each other's lives.
In this world full of competition and challenges, they are writing their own legends in their own way.
