Chapter 665 - Acting Skills Comparable to that of the Legendary Actress (2/2)

On the other hand, there was also nothing to talk about Nie Zisu’s acting skills. Just another side vase for a greater existence…

Everyone’s eyes turned to Zhao Youyue. Those who had followed the crowd and spread all sorts of criticisms before the film was released were rendered utterly speechless. When they saw all the articles that praised Zhao Youyue’s acting skills, they felt no greater shame!

The most influential article which placed Zhao Youyue’s acting skills under scrutiny was by a movie critic who was well-known for being extremely strict and critical. His name was Yang Guoying. He was a highly respected senior in the movie community who always highly recommended one particular actor that used to be in the movie “The Golden Era.”

Yang Guoying’s review was like so —- —-

“If it weren’t for my granddaughter who strongly recommended this movie, I definitely wouldn’t have watched it. After all, I’m already old, so why should I watch teenage movies? No matter how perfect the ending of a teenage movie is, it would just amount to torture for an old guy like me, but… (omit 300 words), I still went to see it in the end.”

“… Frankly speaking, nothing is surprising about the various aspects of the plot of Beautiful April. It’s way too puerile, but at least it’s sincere in its objectives. This was above average – at least. I expect moderate success… I don’t have much to say about the movie – there are enough reviews out there…”

“If there’s anything to add, it’s about Zhao Youyue’s acting. Some of you may say that enough people are already praising her acting, and it needs no more hype, so what else can I say about it? Well, let me tell you that you guys are not even praising her correctly. You don’t understand what it takes to really act like that!”

“I beseech of you, go watch just one of the late legend, Zhang Guorong’s works. Just once. There, you will find that Zhao Youyue is basically the Zhang Guorong of this generation!”

“Really, if it wasn’t for the fact that these two ladies look nothing a like, I would have suspected that I was staring at the resurrected Zhang Guorong in the face! I’m not blowing this up on purpose. I’m a huge Zhang Guorong fan, and I know how she acts. I would never do anything to disrespect her memory, so I’ll say this – when I saw Zhao Youyue’s acting, for an instance, I was positive that it was Zhang Guorong!”

…

Yang Guoying started talking about Zhao Youyue’s acting while analyzing Zhang Guorong’s acting in depth. The respect he had for the younger lady was no less than what he had for Zhang Guorong. He also confidently endorsed Zhao Youyue as the “Contemporary Zhang Guorong,” predicting that when Zhao Youyue films her second movie, they would witness the godlike Zhang Guorong once again!

Due to Yang Guoying’s influence in the movie community, his analysis of Zhao Youyue’s acting skills spread very quickly and was cherished by Zhao Youyue’s loyal fans. He made too much sense. It was what everyone had thought in their hearts, just that they did not know it yet. Of course, these fans have never watched any of Zhang Guorong’s movies. They just only knew that she was a highly prolific, respected actress who had made her mark in the history of movies. Still, it did not stop the fans from using Zhang Guorong to prop Zhao Youyue up.

After such praise and approval from a respected person, Zhao Youyue suddenly became the most prominent newcomer actress in the movie community.

After all, no matter the country, movie actors were always at the frontline of the entertainment industry.

When Zhao Youyue stepped into campus once again, the awe and bewilderment could only surpass the previous levels!
