Chapter 134
Or should we say, a thousand faces for a thousand people!
Fortunately, Zhang Yixing didn't ask this question.
Otherwise, the answer would be...
Lin Yu: Not many, just a library, about six billion books, that's all!
"Stop stuffing it into my mouth!"
"Mmm, mmm, mmm."
Sister Reba looked at the young man stuffing flower cakes into his mouth, her expression very complex.
Both secretly happy and conflicted!
Am I really worthy of Lin Yu?
Previously, Sister Reba was always at Jiaxing Media, taking roles with Boss Yang. Although many people praised Sister Reba to her face for being beautiful and kind-hearted, Sister Reba was clear-headed; this was all the benefit brought by her looks and popularity.
After so many years,
her costume dramas were still stuck at Feng Jiu, the little fox from *Eternal Love*,
and for modern dramas, only *Diamond Lover* was worth mentioning.
Honestly speaking, her acting was just "not good enough to be top-tier, but better than the bottom."
Look at the awards she's won: Most Popular Award, Highest Popularity Award, Golden Eagle Goddess Award!
Isn't this just the champion of the bar and nightclub atmosphere group?
Having debuted for so long, she only had nominations for supporting actress, with no awards of any significant value.
Sister Reba's psychological pressure was actually very high; her reputation was basically that of a "vase" persona, a role that just adds icing on the cake.
"No, what are you three thinking about?"
Lin Yu wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, chewing.
"Here we go!"
"Second lesson."
"The form and spirit of an actor!"
"Good actors possess both form and spirit; let's talk about 'form' first!"
Lin Yu picked up the marker and wrote on the small whiteboard.
"I believe many directors, when auditioning, will have actors put on costumes to feel the atmosphere of the character."
"You all have experience with this, right?"
"Come! Share a bit."
Lin Yu was truly like a teacher, holding the marker and looking at the students below, taking roll call.
"Correct!"
"Lin Yu, I previously thought you only had talent; I didn't expect your theoretical knowledge to be so solid!"
Ning Hao's eyes lit up again; this Lin Yu had brought him too many surprises.
This moment felt like returning to the Film Academy, when he was sharing stories with the students.
Good heavens! Now the roles were reversed, and he had become the listener.
"When we filmed before, we always tried to have actors wear the costumes; for example, if playing an emperor, you have to wear the dragon robe to see if you have the aura of an emperor."
"If playing a eunuch, you have to wear the slanted-collar or round-collar eunuch clothes, the small shirt and big gown, boots, hat, and pants, to see if you have that treacherous and cunning temperament."
"The most extreme is that some directors, when filming crime movies, really go to prisons to get clothes worn by death-row inmates to truly experience the murderous aura of a serious criminal!"
After Director Ning Hao finished this sentence, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
They had gained some knowledge.
"Director Ning Hao, if you're interested, you can submit a resume to me later to be my mentor's capable assistant."
"I'll provide you with social insurance and housing fund every month, a base salary of 3,000, with food and housing subsidies."
"After the probation period, I can even issue you an internship certificate."
Lin Yu raised the corners of his mouth and said with a straight face.
"Hahahaha, Lin Yu, you're really something."
Sister Reba's eyes curved into crescents, and she laughed into a ball.
"Hahaha, Director Ning Hao, congratulations on finding a job; it sounds like the benefits are pretty good."
Zhang Yixing patted his seat, laughing until he shook.
"Hahaha, you kid."
Ning Hao was also amused and giggled.
Of course, everyone knew Lin Yu was joking.
Ning Hao had already entered the director circle of the "100-million club" over a decade ago.
Let alone his net worth being over 100 million, even if Ning Hao agreed, the Film Academy wouldn't let him go.
Film Academy: Damn it! You're not going to be a universally respected guest professor, but going to be a pyramid scheme mentor's assistant?
"Hehe."
"Back to the topic."
"People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles."
"So, what does a dealer wear?"
Lin Yu wrote on the small whiteboard with a flourish.
This sentence
also left Sister Reba and Zhang Yixing dumbfounded.
The two of them were basically flying all over the country and the world for announcements every day.
Let alone going to a casino, they didn't even have time to go to an amusement park.
Although celebrities are sought after by fans and look glamorous in front of people, this comes at a price.
As public figures, they live under the spotlight; as long as they are in the domestic entertainment industry, there is no freedom to speak of.
"Lin Yu, I've studied the outfits of dealers before."
Ning Hao took out his portable tablet.
This was also Director Ning Hao's habit; if he had any ideas or thoughts, he would record them as he pleased.
For this film, many details had been recorded in the book.
"Just this?"
When he saw the picture Director Ning Hao took out,
Lin Yu shook his head and denied it directly.
"Too unrealistic!"
"Director Ning, I know you put a lot of effort into grasping the characters."
"And the control of character details."
"But you know very little about the outfits and temperament of dealers."
Lin Yu sighed, feeling deeply emotional.
"Oh?"
"Then Lin Yu, what insights do you have?"
Ning Hao asked curiously.
Zhang Yixing and Sister Reba knew even less and looked blank.
Could it be that Lin Yu had been to a casino and seen real dealers?
That was the only possibility!
"Lin Yu, have you been to Macau?"
Zhang Yixing asked directly.
It is common knowledge in China that only casinos in Macau are legal.
"Ah!? Lin Yu, did you go to a Macau casino to see the dealers?"
Sister Reba blinked and leaned forward excitedly.
This role was too important to her.
Sister Reba was also in urgent need of an opportunity to prove herself.
"Go to Macau specifically to see dealers?"
