Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 468: My Secrets with Stars (7)

"The second type is the actor who can deceive themselves and can fully integrate themselves with their own understanding of the role. They will become the role, and the role will become them. They would not only instill life into the role but also the soul as well. Only in this way, the character will become more realistic.

"However, there are too few such actors in the entertainment industry. This kind of actor, we usually call them geniuses or natural performers." Hu Yan talked eloquently, regardless of whether I could understand it or not.

"Mu Rui is a genius, and she is not popular because there are rules in the entertainment circle, and she refuses to follow the rules. In the early years, Wu Lefeng was the first type of actor. He became famous because of his looks and luck. But now he is the second type. The accumulation of acting experience has allowed him to grow and improve. He is not a genius in acting, but he is a genius in terms of hard work."

Hu Yan agreed with Mu Rui's acting talent, which proved that I was quite discerning. The so-called rules in the entertainment industry, I didn't know very clearly, but I could guess roughly what they might be. Therefore, my impression of Mu Rui became even better. There were rumors that Hu Yan and Wu Lefeng were not on good terms, but it seemed like this might not be true. The criticism of Wu Lefeng by Hu Yan many years ago may really be an evaluation of his acting skills, which was exaggerated and distorted by the media.

The authenticity of today's entertainment news was really questionable.

"But..." Hu Yan took a sip of tea, looked at me, and smiled: "My favorite is the third type of actor."

The second type of actor was already amazing. After all, they could even instill the soul into the role. So I became really interested in the third type of actor he liked. "The first type of actor can deceive the audience, and the second type of actor can deceive themselves. Who else can the third type of actor deceive?"

Hu Yan said lightly: "They don't need to deceive anyone, but they have the ability to deceive everyone. Performance comes from life. There is no shortage of people who are good at acting in life, but there are few actors who dare to actively create dramatic passions, especially if there are no scripts and they have to improvise, so such actors are creative. You are one of them. Being able to deceive actors like Wu Lefeng and Mu Rui has proved that your acting skills are flawless. I like you. I like you very much. I like you from the bottom of my heart."

Hu Yan's compliment sounded more like irony to me. To put it bluntly, he was saying that I could lie to people without being seen through.

"I don't understand..."

"You don't need to understand. Performance is an art, and things like art are expressed with souls. You only need to know that you have the ability to express yourself with your soul. "

I probably understood what he meant this time, so I interrupted him unhappily. "To put it another way, you are saying that I can lie with my soul?"

Hu Yan didn't answer my question, he said with a smile: "The lady surnamed Dong is not your girlfriend, right?"

"Yes." My tone was affirmative, but my answer was very vague. It could be understood as Dong Xiaoye was my girlfriend; but at the same time, it could also be understood as Hu Yan was right.

"Your ability to adapt to changes makes me more interested in you." To my sly answer, Hu Yan was not dissatisfied, but also showed a very satisfied expression, and continued: "It's such a ridiculous thing to say publicly that you have two girlfriends, but everyone actually believed you. So don't you think you have the talent for acting?"

"I only think that your reason for liking me is getting worse and worse. ..." I chuckled self-mockingly: "Are you seriously asking me to be an actor just because I can tell lies? I think in your circle, there is absolutely no shortage of talents who can lie better than me…"

"Not just to act, but to become a star. As a director, the greatest sense of accomplishment besides making movies is to personally discover some talented actors," Hu Yan said: "You are right. In the entertainment circle, there are many people who have a talent for acting. Although those who meet the requirements of the third type of actor are rare, they are not nonexistent. However, at least until now, I have not found anyone who can become a unique star. If you want to be famous, having talent and luck is not enough. There must be a story. A story that can attract enough attention. To put it bluntly, it is a public stunt. When a movie is released, it needs to be promoted. People who want to be famous also need publicity. A person with a story and a person with a plain resume, it is obvious who can get famous more easily..."

Public stunt? To be honest, I didn't like this concept, and there was no particular reason for it.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any story." Being an actor was too unrealistic for me, it seemed to be beyond my reach, so I started to get a little impatient.

"You have," Hu Yan said with a smile: "You haven't learned acting before is a story; the chance encounter between you and me is another story, and the drama during the encounter is also a story. Most importantly, you and your two girlfriends will also become a story."

My rejection mentality led to my emotional irritability, and I blurted out: "I only have one girlfriend..."

"Now it is, but in the future... who knows," Hu Yan said self-righteously: "I don't know what story between you and the girl surnamed Dong is, maybe you don't have a feeling for her, or maybe you just think you don't have a feeling for her, but what about her?"

Hu Yan's joke made me break out in a cold sweat. He tore open my chest with a smile on his face, and gently poke my heart with his fingers while I was almost suffocating.

I vaguely felt that Dong Xiaoye had some kind of feelings for me, and I also knew that I gradually became dependent on the life that had Dong Xiaoye around.

I admit that I had nasty fantasies about Dong Xiaoye before, but I never thought about having her as my girlfriend. I could no longer bring myself to listen to Hu Yan's words. I felt that he not only insulted me, but also insulted Dong Xiaoye. I instantly got up and said: "I'm sorry, I am very satisfied with my current life. I have never thought of being an actor, nor do I want to be an actor. Thank you for your advice, but I need to leave now."

I was a little surprised by my reaction, so was Hu Yan. He also stood up, smiled, and said: "There's no need to apologize. Since it's just a piece of advice related to your future, there's no harm in thinking about it. Anyway, if you change your mind, you can contact me at any time, this is my business card."

Then from his pocket, he took out a crumpled piece of paper that no one would bend over to pick it up when it was thrown on the street and handed it to me. Who would believe that this famous director's business was like this. However, out of politeness, I still accepted it with both hands and said perfunctorily: "Thank you, I will consider it."

Hu Yan said again: "I plan to shoot a new movie in Shanghai next June. I hope I can see you on the set by then."

I gave him a smile without answering him and turned around to leave. Hu Yan followed me and asked with a smile: "Do you think it's unrealistic?"

I looked back blankly, "What's unrealistic?"

"Having two women at the same time."

Thinking that Mo Yizhi also had two women, I said, "Nothing is unrealistic, right? Which rich man does not have a mistress now?"

"That's different..." Hu Yan shook his head and said, "It is actually possible for three people to truly love each other and live together peacefully to form a family. Young man, relationships aren't that complicated. Don't overthink it and get lost. Just follow your own will. When you feel that it's unfair to a girl and therefore reject another girl, it is also a kind of harm to others and yourself, is it not? Instead of torturing yourself and forcing yourself to make a choice, it is better to have a firm belief and let the three people be happy together."

Hu Yan seemed to be talking nonsense, but every word he said cut me in the heart.

Firm belief? What kind of belief is it to love more than one woman? To put it bluntly, it's just an unfaithful man's selfishness, right?

I still didn't know why Mrs. Mo was willing to accept Long Shan, but I knew that Long Shan and Mo Yizhi had a story. I had no story with Mo Fei, and in terms of Ziyuan, I only hurt her...

"Mr. Hu, I don't know what you're talking about, but I also have a piece of advice that I want to give you. There are no two identical people in the world, so there are no two identical lives. The reality is always different from your fantasy."

I found that in just ten minutes of contact, I was influenced by Hu Yan. The way of my speaking also became as inexplicable as his.

Hu Yan smiled lightly, "No one in the world has a predetermined life, it's entirely up to your own choice how you want your life to be. Therefore, reality can be changed. Like that famous saying, everything is possible if you put enough effort into it."

I pondered his words carefully. In my mind, Liusu, Mo Fei, and Ziyuan's smiles flashed one by one. I smiled and said, "It makes sense, but the change, in reality, is not something you can do by yourself. There are some things that you have to respect the opinions of others. I'm willing to change reality, but I'm also willing to accept reality." 

I didn't know why I wanted to say this to a person I didn't know well. Maybe it was because what he said struck a chord with me, or maybe I just wanted to vent my feelings to a stranger. After all, it was always much easier to talk to a stranger.
