for Advance Chapter
"Godfather, what movie should we watch?"
At that time, there was no group buying software. Wu Mingxuan had not thought about watching a movie at first, so he didn't know what to watch. He just watched the movies that were currently showing.
"The Warlords" and "Assembly" are definitely not suitable. It seems that "The Fate Calls Transfer", which has been released for about a month, is okay and has a bit of fireworks. So let's watch this one.
Liu Yifei had initially thought her godfather would choose a blockbuster like The Warlords or Assembly, but he chose a low-budget romantic comedy that had only been out for a little over a month.
"Don't you usually watch movies like this? No wonder. Go watch more of these down-to-earth films when you have time. Remember that a good actor has a wide range of acting skills. They can be truly attuned to any role, not just themselves. That can only end up killing you. That's your biggest problem right now."
Liu Yifei, only just turning 20, didn't understand much of this. But Wu Mingxuan was widely considered one of the most gifted directors alive, so he must have a point.
"Xixi, do you want some popcorn?"
"No, I'll just have some mineral water. Godfather, you can buy some if you want."
"Forget it, it's boring to eat too much alone. Let's go, let's go straight in."
The theater didn't require identity verification to enter, so when Wu Mingxuan and Liu Yifei entered the theater, no one noticed their identities. However, someone in the front row saw gossip on their phone that Wu Mingxuan and Liu Yifei had just eaten hot pot together.
"Oh my god, this Wu Mingxuan really knows how to play. I remember he was only less than ten years older than Yifei, only nine or eight years old, and he's actually Yifei's godfather. These directors really know how to play. Who knows, they might already be having sex in the hotel right now. It's really... infuriating."
"I don't think Director Wu is that kind of person. Like I said, Liu Yifei hasn't performed well in the recent days of filming. Today, he even stopped her filming halfway through. Maybe he was giving her a lecture. As for the godfather thing, isn't it very popular in the Hong Kong circle? And Director Wu doesn't seem to have only Liu Yifei as his goddaughter, right?"
After all, this wasn't the era when godfathers and goddaughters were a common sight in later generations. Many people at that time still didn't believe that Wu Mingxuan would be that kind of person. Most of them regarded this as a kind of protection for their female artists.
But Liu Yifei wouldn't think so, because before the movie even started, as soon as they sat down, Wu Mingxuan's hand was directly placed on her leg, rubbing it very naturally. The most annoying thing was that he even put his hand on his crotch. Couldn't he be less direct?
Finding that the young lady was not very sensible, Wu Mingxuan could only hold Liu Yifei's right hand with his other left hand and press it firmly against his crotch. This feeling was indeed very special. Wu Mingxuan got hard at the mere contact.
Seeing this, Liu Yifei could only occasionally caress and squeeze Wu Mingxuan's cock through his pants. Who knows what else this bastard might do? She knew the theater had night vision and infrared technology, so she could see what was happening in the audience, though it wasn't very clear.
Soon, the movie began. Wu Mingxuan had seen this movie before, and it consisted of four stories.
"Misunderstanding" tells the fiery story of a mobile phone that, through a fluke, changes the fate of three men; "Song of Life" tells the story of love that transcends life and death; "Mountain Area" tells the story of a man's witty and humorous coming-of-age story; and "Mountain Disaster" tells a modern version of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."
Overall, it's not as good as its predecessor, "Love Call Transfer," released during the 2007 Spring Festival holiday. Both the humor and the storytelling are far inferior. Even though the two films have similar casts and budgets and share the same production team, the disparity is significant. One nearly broke 100 million yuan, while the other only made a little over 30 million.
Liu Yifei, on the other hand, took it very seriously. It's not that she can't get into this kind of film, but rather that she simply doesn't watch it. This suggests a profound disconnect with society, and she struggles with many fundamental aspects of her performance. To quote Wu Mingxuan and others, her performance lacks sleekness and comes off a bit pretentious, as if she doesn't know how to play an ordinary person well.
"See, acting is actually very simple. Just react normally. Don't try to show off your skills. Those skills are rubbish. You can't act paralyzed all your life. You don't have to pretend to be cute. Just be lively and cheerful, and you'll be cute.
A truly good actor knows how to control himself and know when to act and when not to act. Just show your true self and have a blank mind."
Liu Yifei reflected on her problems in recent days. It was indeed what Wu Mingxuan said. She was very nervous the whole time and was acting everything. Although she tried very hard to get into the role, the traces of acting were too strong. It was indeed not natural enough. She was slow to find her state when acting opposite others.
"Listen carefully, what did you notice?
Their delivery! Don't be fooled by the fact that many of these are just second- or third-tier celebrities. They're all trained professionals, and their delivery is unparalleled. No matter how complex or softly they're delivered, the audience can hear them clearly even without subtitles. Even with your eyes closed, you can feel the emotions the actors are trying to convey.
Can you do that?
No, you can't. You can't do anything right now, so I really don't understand where your confidence comes from. Beauty?
If that's what you think, then you should just be like your mother and be a wealthy wife for a few years to reap the benefits. Being an actor isn't as easy as you and your daughter think."
"Godfather, please teach Xixi. I really want to act well. You must have a way. Can you teach me?"
Feeling that his cock was being held tightly in his pants, Wu Mingxuan kissed his godson directly, and kissed the inexperienced and very shy Yifei as if no one was around.
However, Wu Mingxuan did not go further. Liu Yifei knew that there were night vision infrared cameras in the cinema, so how could he not know? Some intimate little actions were fine, but a real fight in the cinema was fine. He didn't want to become the male protagonist of the nude photo scandal.
"Okay, after the filming of "The Great Sage" is finished, I will take you and Xin'er to film a drama together. Both of you have problems with your dialogue skills and need to improve. Drama is the most suitable stage."
