Jiang Yushuang said solemnly, "It's his business that he has money, what does it have to do with me? Back then, people said I got promoted through connections, which is why I chose to marry in secret. After nearly ten years of hard work, I finally went from an obscure nobody to a second-tier star. Now, because of that little b*tch An Qiuyan, all my efforts have been undone. That's why I must seize the time to improve my acting skills and prove myself with my abilities, so that others can't gossip."
Jiang Ling nodded in agreement, "Pursuing both love and career. As women, we may be able to rely more on men in terms of family, but in our careers, we must depend on ourselves. Because only by relying on ourselves can we achieve complete economic independence."
Many women claim to have both love and career, and economic independence, but upon closer investigation, one finds their positions in the workplace are tied to their husbands' companies.
A career built on a man – what kind of economic independence is that? Once a marital crisis occurs, it all falls apart instantly.
"Exactly!" Jiang Yushuang looked at Jiang Ling with bright eyes, "So, will you teach me?"
Jiang Ling pouted, "For me to be stuck with you, consider me unlucky. For an actor to perform well, they must first learn to utilize their eyes."
"Eyes?" Jiang Yushuang asked blankly.
"Yes, eyes are the windows to the soul. Expressions can deceive, but eyes are hard to fool. The old saying, 'clear eyes, clear mind,' is precisely this principle. So, if you want to become a true acting talent, you must first learn to act with your eyes, to speak without speaking."
"To speak with my eyes?" Jiang Yushuang mumbled.
"Mhm!" Jiang Ling nodded emphatically.
Speaking of acting with one's eyes, Jiang Ling couldn't help but recall a news report she had seen in her previous life.
A tricky Hong Kong media outlet initiated an online poll asking who was more beautiful, Michelle Reis or Maggie Cheung?
The result was not surprising; over 90% of netizens voted for Maggie Cheung.
In fact, in terms of facial delicacy, Michelle Reis possessed top-tier beauty. In the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle, few could compare to her.
Maggie Cheung was far inferior to Michelle Reis in this regard.
But why did the majority of netizens feel Maggie Cheung was more beautiful?
It was simple: beauty lies in the bone, not just the skin.
Michelle Reis's facial perfection, while flawless, was superficial and lacked a certain aura.
Especially her eyes, when filming, they seemed like an out-of-focus camera, appearing dull, a beauty as inert as wood.
In contrast, although Maggie Cheung's features were not as perfect, her every smile, her every gesture, exuded a captivating charm that was unparalleled, a beauty that was breathtaking.
She was exceptionally skilled at acting with her eyes. Her joy and anger, her love and hate, all flowed through her gaze, leaving viewers in awe.
Jiang Ling and Jiang Yushuang's personalities meshed well, and they chatted so congenially that they felt an implicit sense of having met too late.
Jiang Yushuang was eager to learn, and Jiang Ling was generous in her teaching.
Thus, time passed with teaching and filming.
Jiang Ling diligently taught Jiang Yushuang to act with her eyes, unaware that the scene of Jiang Yuyan's descent into villainy had become popular before it even aired.
On that day, when she filmed Jiang Yuyan's transformation, everyone else was terrified by her gaze. However, one person was not only unfazed but recorded the scene with his phone.
Later, this staff member shared the recording with his good friend, who, after it was disseminated, eventually became a teaching example at the Beijing Film Academy.
