Reborn with Consumption System

Zhong Hanliang is calm, low-key, humble, and dedicated.

Before filming started, Han Lie had inquired about the lead actor’s situation. His reputation in the industry is quite good, praised by all partners.

That’s why Han Lie was confident in letting Guo Qingting manage the filming herself. Unexpectedly, there was no problem with the production, director, or lead actor; it was her who couldn’t find the right state.

Good things take time and effort...

However, Zhong Hanliang’s statement helped Fang Ying and Liu Junjie eliminate the last of their worries. The two exchanged glances, and Fang Ying actively expressed his stance.

"President Han, good drama is the foundation of everything. Our interests are aligned. With both you and Teacher Guo having this idea, how could I not support it?

There’s no need for donations; our time and funds are sufficient.

Let’s settle it like this then. Old Liu, think of a way to help Teacher Guo find her state. If it doesn’t work, then we’ll grind through it bit by bit!

This time, our group aims to create an absolute masterpiece!"

He’s generous, but Liu Junjie’s mind was in a complete mess.

Money is indeed enough.

Since Han Lie joined halfway through, the investment for the entire film increased by 20 million compared to the original version. Every aspect can pursue higher-level refinement.

But, who can successfully train this wild-path, wooden beauty Guo Qingting?!

Isn’t it all my job?!

"Alright."

Liu Junjie gritted his teeth, beginning his nth drama explanation.

"Since everyone is here, let’s analyze the character again..."

Han Lie listened quietly on the side, watched them shoot two more scenes, felt Guo Qingting’s progress, and also identified the root of the problem.

Guo Qingting isn’t entirely incapable of portraying the carefree and spontaneous side of the young Zhao Mosheng.

When she was in middle school, she even joined the soccer team, being cheerful and extroverted, with a bit of tomboyishness.

Her problem is that she can’t combine spontaneity with the "infatuated lover mindset." When acting carefree, she appears foolish enough for people to believe she’s He Yichen’s buddy.

While acting admiration, she’s too gentle and reserved, with a strong older sister vibe.

As a result, her entire state oscillates between an Akita and a Golden Retriever, greatly impacting the persuasive power of the scene.

And Director Liu Junjie’s problem is even more difficult...

His character analysis is done very well and accurately, with precise emotional dissection and high level.

However, Guo Qingting is a pure wild-path actor, using formal actor training methods on her might help her understand but she still doesn’t know how to execute it specifically.

For example, imagine Chen Daoming standing in front of you, teaching step by step: understand the character’s motivation first, then construct a mental image, then sort out the action chain — broken-down and fed.

Okay, action!

Eight or nine cameras aimed at you, can you act?

If you’re a formally trained actor, now you know how to act, whether it’s good or not is another matter.

If you’re a wild-path actor, sorry, you won’t even know where to put your hands.

The more you perform, the more numb you become, until you start questioning life, your confidence shattered to pieces.

Right now, Guo Qingting is facing this very problem.

By the fourth retake, Han Lie couldn’t stand it anymore.

Move aside, let me do it!

"Director Liu, wait a moment."

Han Lie stopped Liu Junjie and then pulled Guo Qingting in front of him for a barrage of guidance.

He not only gave verbal advice but could also demonstrate himself.

"Sister Ting, look at my face. Here’s the state you need to present — first, your pupils contract, meaning you’ve noticed He Yichen sitting under the tree, and you’re impressed by him.

Next, your pupils begin to widen, entering a state of defocus. This is the second layer of change, indicating your brain is fantasizing because of him.

For instance, imagining walking hand in hand with him down a picturesque and romantic campus path.

A young girl in love at first sight imagines a lot, letting herself go; this is an important portrayal of a youthful image.

After that, your expression should follow — a slight smile on your lips, the entire eyes softening, appearing infatuated but not greasy or sleazy. This is the third change.

Finally, you need to quickly retrain your smile, your eyes darting sideways. This is you realizing your infatuation and tentatively assessing your surroundings with peripheral vision to see if anyone noticed.

This is the final change, and then the close-up ends, with the layering of love at first sight emerging."

Han Lie split and demonstrated while speaking.

Holding a phone pretending to take pictures, his head turned sideways, his casual and relaxed expression suddenly frozen, pupils aggressively contracted, targeting locked, then pupils slowly start expanding, mouth corners lifting upwards, eyebrows lowered, eye tails drooping, soft gaze with a smile, extremely infatuated yet not sleazy.

Next, the smile abruptly retracts, head mildly swaying sideways, eyes quickly scanning surroundings; the timid feeling instantly becomes apparent.

That anxious yet shy demeanor seems especially cute.

The whole performance down seamlessly layered, very convincing, with a sweetness that could make audiences smile maternally.

Han Lie finished the demonstration and softly asked, "Understand?"

However, Sister Ting just stared blankly at him, in a complete daze.

Even when taught to this extent, still not working?

Han Lie frowned, turned to find Zhong Hanliang, hoping he could come help and pair with Guo Qingting to look for a feel.

Looking sideways, director Liu Junjie, producer Fang Ying, lead actor Zhong Hanliang, and even the is a soy sauce agent... Everyone was in a daze.

Silence surrounded.

Liu Junjie gaped, eyes wide open, his soul drifting somewhere unknown.

Damn it!

It’s just absurd!

What kind of divine person is this?

Acting a woman’s heart blooming at first sight even more ladylike than an actual young girl!

Buddy, how about I sack Guo Qingting and let you play Zhao Mosheng?!

Guo Qingting silently paused, suddenly turned and walked aside, crouching down despondently.

"Stop teaching me, let me be quiet for a while..."

Emmm, accidentally led the female protagonist into a shutdown, now what?

********

Previously got stuck, copied the document twice, but fixed it within two seconds, though I’m not sure if anyone subscribed.

If anyone did, come to the group, and I’ll refund you.

Sorry, the computer was overloaded with too many teaching materials...
