Le Zheng Yu showed a look of shame and sighed, "Director Guan had said your acting skills were good, and I didn't believe it. Now I've truly witnessed it. Miss Jiang, your acting is far, far superior to mine. Please forgive my previous underestimation."
In the eyes of the numerous onlookers on set, both Le Zheng Yu and Jiang Ling performed exceptionally well.
However, he knew clearly that Jiang Ling had always held the upper hand.
From the moment filming began, he had been swept away by Jiang Ling's performance.
Although he enjoyed the acting immensely and displayed skills beyond his usual level, it had nearly drained his spirit and physical strength.
After a scene that lasted less than half an hour, Le Zheng Yu was as exhausted as a dead dog, unable to stand straight.
Yet, looking at Jiang Ling, she seemed to exert no effort during her performance. Instead of feeling tired after a scene, she appeared even more energized, as if she had received an ampoule of placenta extract.
This clearly showed the immense gap in their acting abilities.
Le Zheng Yu debuted as a popular idol. He later honed his acting skills to transition, aiming to shed the "idol" label and become a powerful actor.
Although his transition process had only taken two to three years, his performance still had significant room for improvement.
However, he was confident that among his peers in the younger generation of actors, he was quite talented.
He wouldn't claim to surpass those with formal acting education, but he felt confident in easily outshining those popular young male and female idols. kuAiδugg
Now, having witnessed Jiang Ling's divine and masterful acting, he finally realized he was like a frog at the bottom of a well.
While deeply shocked, Le Zheng Yu was also deeply perplexed.
He had personally witnessed Jiang Ling's atrocious acting that made people's eyes ache and ghosts disfigure themselves. How had she become so skilled in such a short time?
Jiang Ling smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. In this profession, we rely on our skills. If your acting isn't good and your work attitude isn't up to par, you can't blame others for looking down on you."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard Guan Su Yi call out, "Le Zheng Yu, come quickly, get ready for the next scene."
The scene following Li Sheng Nan's death was Jin Shi Yi erecting a tombstone for his beloved.
Le Zheng Yu, as the male lead, was required to intensely portray his grief over losing his beloved wife and convey his sorrow to the audience in front of the screen.
Compared to the bridal chamber scene, which lasted nearly half an hour, this scene was only about five minutes long, undoubtedly placing a greater test on the actor's skill.
Guan Su Yi knew the difficulty was immense. Taking advantage of Le Zheng Yu's current state after filming the bridal chamber scene, she rushed to film this segment to prevent him from losing his feel for the role later, which could delay the shooting schedule.
However, Guan Su Yi had still underestimated the difficulty of this scene.
Due to Jiang Ling's astonishing performance in Li Sheng Nan's death, Guan Su Yi had revised the script for her.
When the preceding plot points changed, the subsequent ones had to follow suit, like a chain reaction where one move affected everything.
After Li Sheng Nan's death, Le Zheng Yu's sorrowful scene became several times more challenging, reaching an unprecedented height.
Le Zheng Yu had previously acted this scene and replicated it.
"Sheng Nan, I've failed you. I admit you are my wife, and I will protect you for all my life. Rest assured, you may go."
Le Zheng Yu cried, beating his chest and stomping his feet, gasping for breath, unable to contain his sorrow.
Because he was still in character from the previous performance, Le Zheng Yu's portrayal in this segment was even better than before.
However, Guan Su Yi's frown grew deeper. She said, "Le Zheng Yu, what is going on? You were acting so well just now, why are you so terrible now? What are you doing?"
