Trying hard to suppress her pessimistic thoughts, Xie Jiali quickly glanced at the movie's attendance today and several new film reviews, and her mood improved a little: at least the attendance rate and word-of-mouth rating of "The Rose Thorn" are here, and anyone who sees it will know that this is a high-quality, well-received movie.

I heard that there will be a new Hollywood blockbuster released in domestic theaters next week. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to increase the box office by then...

Xie Jiali thought confusedly, feeling at a loss as to where to put her effort.

Art films, award-winning films, cold schedules... there are many excuses for them to save face, but she just thinks Su Lingxi deserves better results.

Nicole works much harder on filming than people think.

She has come this far not only thanks to her fans and the company, but also her own diligence and hard work.

Those people don't understand anything.

Every time he lip-services her, he can wantonly belittle everything she has done.

Really...disgusting.

Xie Jiali pondered for a long time. She originally wanted to wait until dawn to take a look at the real-time box office, but in the end, she couldn't resist the overwhelming sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, in addition to fans from all over the country, Su Lingxi herself is also paying attention to the box office trends like her.

This was her first time acting in an art film in her two lifetimes combined. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous at all.

To be honest, Su Lingxi was even more nervous at this moment than when he was waiting for the movie to be officially screened at the Berlin Film Palace.

Perhaps it was because she was accompanied by Yang Qian, Tang Wanhua, He Ying and others at that time.

At this moment, there were only her and Ruan Tang in the living room of the villa.

For Su Lingxi, the teacher is certainly someone she can be honest with, but he is also someone who makes her doubly nervous.

Because she always wants to show her best and most perfect side in front of her teacher and wants to be a student that makes her proud.

Being left alone to study your own film data with the teacher is something that makes you feel nervous.

"Do you think their prediction is correct?" Ruan Tang asked suddenly, putting down the goblet in her hand. "Do you also think that the box office performance of The Rose Thorn will plummet starting tomorrow?"

Su Lingxi thought for a moment and said, "I think this is just the bias of the forecasting agency against art films."

"They think that art films cannot achieve commercial success, but the movie has just been released, and making such judgments now will only make them look short-sighted."

She was really nervous, but after the success at the Berlin Film Festival and internal previews, Su Lingxi was still very confident in the quality of the film itself.

Putting aside her own performance, the director's shooting techniques, the costumes and props, the other actors who acted with her... everyone in the crew did their job and did their respective parts to the best of their ability.

Film is a collective art form. Whether it is a box-office hit or a flop, the influencing factor is not just one person.

The success of a movie is always inseparable from any one of the three: the director, the screenwriter, and the actors.

Therefore, Su Lingxi never takes to heart the press releases praising her for "carrying the box office alone".

Even though she was the absolute leading actress in "The Rose Thorn" in terms of the role she played, she would not be so conceited as to think that all the praise the movie received was earned by her alone.

But this does not affect the confidence she gains from it.

The teacher once said that it is necessary to maintain self-confidence.

"It seems that Hanqiu and Jiajia are right. Your attitude towards the outside world is indeed much sharper than before." Ruan Tang raised her eyebrows. "If it were before, you would not directly say that those experts are short-sighted."

Su Lingxi smiled, not surprised that she would go to Zhu Hanqiu and Jiajia to find out the situation - most of the assistants who follow the artists also serve as the company's spies.

This also makes it easier for big agents and company executives to keep abreast of all changes in artists.

Maybe it sounds a little strange, as if losing privacy and freedom, but Su Lingxi has been an artist for many years and has long been accustomed to it.

She cared more about the second half of Ruan Tang's sentence than the first half.

"Teacher, do you think I'm being too blunt?"

Glancing at her expression, Ruan Tang smiled helplessly: "It's a good thing to speak frankly. Besides, there are only two of us here now, you can say whatever you want. I'm just worried..."

"worry about what?"

"I'm worried... you haven't completely gotten out of the role yet." Ruan Tang sighed and lowered her voice. "After you finished filming The Rose Thorn last year, you didn't even have a few days off. You seamlessly switched to promotional activities and roadshows... You didn't leave yourself enough time to get out of the role."

"For actors who are into experience, it is unhealthy and unwise to join the crew seamlessly or to enter a high-profile activity period immediately after filming is finished."

"You should be able to feel it yourself, right? Some of your personality traits have changed significantly over this period of time. These changes may not necessarily be negative, but I think you should still take some measures to help yourself get out of the drama as soon as possible."

Ruan Tang stopped talking and looked at her.

"I..." Su Lingxi wanted to defend herself, but she was stuck for a long time and couldn't say anything to refute.

The moment she saw the worry in the teacher's eyes, she suddenly remembered many details that she had overlooked in the past.

Impatience with conversations, endless boredom with social situations, and diminishing patience… Now when I connect these little things together one by one, I can really feel that something is not right.

Even though she couldn't remember many things from her previous life, Su Lingxi still remembered a few clips of herself being adept at socializing - to be honest, she didn't like socializing in her two previous lives, but she definitely didn't hate it either.

She has always been good at using her strengths to her advantage, and socializing happens to be one of them.

The reason why she feels irritated in social situations is probably largely due to the influence of the character's personality.

Every time an experiential actor enters a role, he needs to erase the differences between his own personality and the character's, and then constantly magnify the similarities between the two, and finally become a completely different person.

Therefore, for experiential actors, playing a character who has been traumatized or has mental problems is very exhausting. There is even a high possibility that they will not be able to get out of the role after the performance.

This is also what Ruan Tang is most worried about.
