"Director Tang, long time no see. You look so radiant today."

"Teacher Ye is so polite. I remember the last time we met was during the Chinese New Year last year?"

"Yes, I had a minor problem with my lumbar disc this year, and I had to rest for several weeks. The pain was so severe that I couldn't move. Well, if this disease hadn't come at such an unfortunate time, I would have gone to wish you a happy new year..."

"Hello, Mr. Fang! You're here really early today."

"Haha, there's nothing to do waiting at home anyway. The longer you wait, the more anxious you'll get. You might as well come earlier. To be honest, your performance in the trailer is very attractive, and Wanhua's filming techniques are also very creative. I can't wait to see the finished film."

Fang Weiguo is an old acquaintance of Tang Wanhua from her time as a film critic. The two have been friends for more than ten years, and they have always supported each other along the way.

When "Summer of Sixteen" was first released, Fang Weiguo was the first to stand up and express his positive opinion - he has rich experience and high popularity, and one of his film reviews is worth ten of others.

As soon as he appeared, he naturally set the main tone of film reviews and public opinion.

To this day, Tang Wanhua always treats him more kindly than other film critics.

"Perhaps it's not a good habit to brag about yourself, but I believe that tonight's film will not disappoint you." Tang Wanhua smiled and continued, turning her eyes to the side, "As for Lingxi, that short trailer only showed less than one-tenth of her charm in the movie."

"Director Tang is really good at praising people." Su Lingxi said humorously but calmly, "It's probably not appropriate to continue praising myself at this time - I hope my performance later will not disappoint Mr. Fang's expectations."

Her current status is much higher than before, so there is no need to be too modest when facing compliments and compliments from others in social situations. Instead of being hypocritical and modest, it is better to be frank and give an honest answer.

Fang Weiguo didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he appreciated this attitude: "That's right. Young people should have confidence in themselves."

Objectively speaking, as a film critic, Fang Weiguo has a pretty good impression of Su Lingxi.

Among actors of the same caliber, she is considered to be the youngest and most promising one. She is also easy-going and friendly. Even in private, she does not have any bad temper or bad habits, and she is impeccable in every aspect.

He would naturally be more tolerant and caring towards this kind of actor who is likely to become the leader of the new generation of Chinese movie stars in the future - after all, China has not been able to cultivate a movie star with international influence for a long time after Ruan Tang, and has been in a weak and passive position in the international film scene for the past decade.

The young ones below couldn't come up, and Ruan Tang was getting older and older, which resulted in a lack of successors.

Today, this embarrassing situation in the Chinese film industry is expected to be broken, and Fang Weiguo feels fortunate from the bottom of his heart.

He is sixty-five years old this year and belongs to the generation that has witnessed the glorious period of Chinese cinema. He hopes more than anyone else that Chinese cinema can regain its glory on the international stage.

Therefore, before coming here, he had already made up his mind: even if the final effect of "The Rose Thorn" was not as good as he imagined, he would find a way to encourage it, at least not let the bad reviews immediately destroy the confidence of the young actors who wanted to try art films.

However, as the film slowly unfolded, Fang Weiguo was almost mesmerized by Ge Cailing's stubborn and resolute performance, and completely forgot his own absurd thoughts.

"Exquisite detail handling... perfect eye acting..." He stroked his fingertips and muttered to himself, "She has a pair of clear and sharp eyes, which is definitely a plus on the screen."

He had only seen Su Lingxi's performance in "Summer of Sixteen" before. Her acting at that time was far less powerful than it is now, let alone empathy.

but now……

Fang Weiguo sat up straight, following the melancholy eyes of the cheongsam beauty on the screen, his eyes full of admiration: even for an experiential actor, to be able to perform with such a degree of realism is one in a million.

He has studied movies for most of his life. Not many experiential actors can make even their subconscious movements fit the role perfectly.

After all, what the experiential school pursues is real aesthetics. When experiencing the role situation from the perspective of oneself, it is bound to be easy to ignore some of one's usual habitual actions in details.

How big is the arc of a smile? How to make a frown? Most experiential actors will simply use the everyday expressions they use in their daily lives.

Such performances are certainly realistic, but if you watch them too many times, people who are familiar with the actors themselves will easily feel that they are out of place.

In comparison, when Su Lingxi played the role of Ge Cailing, although her performance was extremely relaxed and very close to the real situation, she also used her imagination to replace emotions, using synaesthesia to reflect the character's current feelings, and was not completely limited by her own experience.

Fang Weiguo was thinking in his mind, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily: There is no doubt that Su Lingxi's current performance method is no longer confined to the experiential school, but more like a mixture of the experiential school and the method school.

After all, only the method school that focuses on imagination and emotional substitution can make it easier for the audience to empathize with the characters.

I have to admit that this girl's growth rate is really outrageous... In just two or three years, her acting skills have improved so much that it's like she's reborn!

Pure experiential actors are rare to find, and actors who can flexibly use performance techniques from other schools to make up for their own shortcomings are even rarer in the world!

I'm afraid you won't be able to find a few people even if you search the entire China.

What's more, she is still so young, just under 21 years old, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future.

Perhaps becoming Ruan Tang's successor is just a matter of time.

Fang Weiguo watched the eye-playing scenes in the movie frame by frame without blinking, feeling extremely excited.

"This is a show tailor-made for her. The highlight of the whole movie is her role... No wonder the people in Berlin are willing to give the award to her instead of Jeremy Bell... Humph, if they really give the award to Bell, they will be destroying their own reputation."

He thought with deep conviction.

"No matter what, the higher-ups will definitely not let go of such a good talent... This year's Directors Association will definitely give her an award. This girl deserves it."

"Since she has such a high acting talent, she should have started acting in art films earlier. Alas, commercial films will only slowly wear away her aura."

Fang Weiguo, who had not seen "The Red Careerist", thought so.
