“Why don’t you play that role?” Ling Tianya asked.
“Why?” Guan Meiyi turned to look at Ling Tianya. “Do you know what role she made me play? A vulgar prostitute with a nude scene!”
Ling Tianya quietly looked at Guan Meiyi. “What about it?”
“What about it?” Guan Meiyi was humiliated and angry. “I already said that I can accept playing extras, servants, roles without credits. But I won’t play a prostitute!”
“Oh.” Ling Tianya sneered with ridicule in her eyes. “It seems that you are still the proud, arrogant, and overly confident Guan Meiyi. Nothing has changed, and you deserve to live the way you do.”
“What did you say!” Ling Tianya’s words made Guan Meiyi tear up. She was already suffering so much and living like a vagabond. Why did this person still want to knock her down? Hadn’t she been punished enough?
“You heard what I said,” Ling Tianya stood up and said to Guan Meiyi seriously. “I studied that film. The director and the screenwriter are both women, and it is a typical art film depicting women. If you have read the script, you should know that even the vulgar prostitute doesn’t have too many scenes, she plays an important role that connects the whole story.”
Guan Meiyi’s expression relaxed a little and then became perplexed as she looked at Ling Tianya.
Ling Tianya continued, “Do you know why everyone says that you have no acting skills? That’s because when you read the script, you use your eyes and not your heart. But the screen writer writes every character with her heart and there are no meaningless characters. If you don’t use your heart and learn every character, you will never be a good actor! You deserve to be called talentless!”
Upon hearing that, Guan Meiyi’s expression began to calm down.
Ling Tianya looked at her and spoke again. “After you got the script, did you seriously consider why the scriptwriter created the role of this prostitute? What caused the prostitute to be so vulgar with her words and behaviors? What kind of mentality does this character have? When she accepts different men, how should she act differently? If you are a professional actor, you consider these things first before you decide whether to accept the role. Instead, you took a glance at the script, seeing that it is a prostitute and there are a few nude scenes, and you won’t play it!
“You are not a big star right now and you have no right to choose. So every character is crucial to you. Why would you rather play an extra and not be willing to challenge yourself with this role? Why not let everyone see a different Guan Meiyi?
“Actors do not only present one side to the audience you have to present different sides. That is the real success.”
Guan Meiyi sat there with a serious look on her face. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Ling Tianya gave her a last casual glance. “That’s all I have to say. It’s up to you whether to take that role.”
After that, Ling Tianya turned around and walked back towards the building of Zhiya Entertainment. The people in the film and television department were still waiting to meet with her.
Watching Ling Tianya’s back as she walked away, Guan Meiyi’s heart was filled with emotions. She didn’t expect Ling Tianya to say those things to her.
No one had ever talked to her liked that. When she was successful, everyone flattered her but no one would teach her. As a result, her ego swelled. That’s why she had a conflict with Ling Tianya — because of the short haircut request when they were shooting Hunting Allure.
Later, she become infamous and no one would have a serious conversation with her. The most she heard was ridicule and verbal abuse.
Guan Meiyi was feeling that her life was all doom and gloom. But after she heard what Ling Tianya said, she seemed to see a trace of sunlight again.
