Chapter 255. Helping out (4)
Ren had always thought that it was the acting and weak presence of Na Wen that had made him a bad actor, compared to the other leading cast.
It was also true to some extent but the heavenly king, Hou Qian didn't think like this.
Na Wen's acting may be immature but there was a lot of potential in it. It was just that he was not able to show the potential to others.
The main reason behind this was his understanding of the character.
”So, you are saying that Na Wen is not understanding the character of Xu Tingsheng?”
Ren again asked and Hou Qian nodded and replied.
”He thinks that Xu Tingsheng is an ideal prince character who is skillful and has an ambition to seize the throne.”
”Isn't it true?”
Ren said as he tilted his head and blinked his eyes in confusion. He was not able to understand what Hou Qian was telling him.
That's why he focused more on his words.
”It may look like that on paper but when one look at the screenplay and carefully read Xu Tingsheng's character, one will notice that there are many subtle things in his character.”
”What subtle things?”
”Why don't you find out about it yourself? I will just say that if Na Wen can show these subtle emotions, then he can even receive an award for it.”
Hou Qian said those words and left without saying anything else. He was going to prepare for his next scene.
'What does it mean?'
Sitting alone, Ren contemplated on his words but he was not able to find the real meaning behind Hou Qian's words.
That's why, he took out his phone and started reading the whole screenplay of «Slayers» again, from the first scene.
'Isn't it the same?'
Ren thought that when he finished reading the screenplay.
He didn't find anything else in the screenplay but he also knew that Hou Qian won't lie to him. He doesn't have a reason to lie.
That's why Ren spent his entire day reading the screenplay.
He would read it before his scene and then, after his scene. It was to the point that other people were thinking that Ren was furiously studying the character of Cao Xu.
But the truth was that he was studying the character of the crown prince, Xu Tingsheng.
Like that, three days passed away in a blink and on the fourth day, Ren finally started noticing the subtle things Hou Qian has mentioned.
'There is really something more to the character of Xu Tingsheng.'
He thought as he smiled.
The reason behind Na Wen's weak acting was not his ability or presence but something completely different.
Na Wen had failed to understand these subtle emotions and the thought process of the crown prince.
That's why he was not able to play the character well.
It was a rare situation but there were previous cases of it.
An actor would not be able to properly understand one's character and then, he would not be able to play it well.
There are many instances where popular actors had failed to play a character well.
Their fans would often say that the character didn't suit him or it was not meant for him but the truth was that the actor would fail to understand the emotions of the character he was playing.
