Chapter 763: Strong Contrast

Xia Xibei not only memorized these lines, but also performed them very well!
Generally speaking, it was easy for newcomers to “memorize” lines without emotion.
When you had to say such a long list of lines, it was like memorizing a book! The acting would either have no emotion, or a surge of emotion and seem too exaggerated.
The role of Yu Qianjiang was that of an aloof goddess.
To play aloof, it was easy to come across as having a frozen face. It was difficult to grasp the difference, especially for newcomers.
That was not true for Xia Xibei.
When she said her lines, there were subtle changes in her expression and eyes. Although her expression was indifferent, you could see that she was changing inside.
When she said her schedule at first, she was a little impatient. When pressed by Shangguan Cheng later, her eyes obviously softened a bit, but the gentleness flickered and quickly returned to indifference and a bit of dislike.
As a genius girl, she must be a little bit impatient when faced with such “stupid” humans.
But because this person was like a brother to her, growing up next door, she had a little more gentleness and patience with him.
These emotions were so subtle, it was difficult to master them.
Shi Huan originally thought that this shot would take a few more tries to complete, but it was done in one take!
Jiang Shenghe had referred a good one for sure!
“Very good!”
Shi Huan was demanding of the actors. If he encountered any bad ones, he would talk frankly and be very harsh.
However, if the actors performed well, he would not spare any praise.
“I didn’t expect you to get through it in one take!”
“Thank you for the compliment,” Xia Xibei smiled and said thanks.
“Shuhang, you did well this time too!” Shi Huan also praised him. “Your eyes had drama, not bad!”
Shangguan Cheng’s love for Yu Qianjiang, his timidity in not daring to speak nor approach her, and his worship of her were all portrayed by Shi Shuhang to the fullest.
Obviously, his performance in the morning was not good enough, but this time, his performance was really good.
After being complimented by the director, Shi Shuhang’s expression was
complicated.
Could he say that these were all his true feelings?
Adoration, admiration, awe, timidity… It was all true!
He was totally impressed by her, especially when he thought of Xia Xibei’s ferocious deeds before!
Some people were happy and some were sad.
When Xia Xibei was praised, Xia Qinghan’s expression darkened.
She had been lectured by Shi Huan all morning and had been criticized almost to the point of no return.
Xia Xibei, on the other hand, was complimented by Shi Huan!
What the hell?!
Obviously, they were all acting for the first time…
Oh no, for Xia Xibei, it was the second time. She had also filmed “Hongyan Chance,” but she couldn’t have improved her acting skills this much after just one show!
Yet Shi Huan’s attitude towards the two of them was so much better than his towards her.
Xia Qinghan was suspicious. What kind of drugs had Xia Xibei given Shi Huan to make him praise her so much?
Sensing Xia Qinghan’s resentful eyes, Xia Xibei looked over and flashed her a smile.
Xia Qinghan’s face instantly turned even grimmer.
Was she provoking her?!
If they shot a scene together, she’d show Xibei what she was made of!
Luckily, the opportunity for them to shoot together arrived soon.
On the third day, they moved to a very gorgeous villa to shoot a party scene.
Shangguan Cheng and Chu Tong’s relationship was getting better, so he invited Chu Tong to his birthday party.
Yu Qianjiang was also there at the party, and the two women had a crossfire.
For this shoot, Xia Qinghan had practiced a lot, just to crush Xia Xibei.
