Chapter 785: Chapter 633: Why Go the Long Way Around?

"Do you really want me to say it?"

"Of course."

"Then you promise not to get angry." Ning Youguang said to Xie Yizun, "If you get angry, we won’t be able to talk properly."

"I won’t get angry." Xie Yizun assured sincerely, "Sis, say whatever you need to say. I’m so fed up with this now."

"First, don’t take yourself too seriously. When you’re acting, think about what the character should be like and how you should cooperate with other characters. Don’t focus on ’me,’ for instance, when you’re crying, don’t worry about looking ugly, or when you’re laughing, don’t think about looking like a fool. If you do that, you’re not living in the character but in yourself. You can try to immerse yourself in the role and forget yourself. When you experience that, you’ll find that the uncomfortable feeling in yourself is greatly reduced." Ning Youguang said, "In fact, when you stop focusing on yourself, you’ll ignore people watching you and won’t worry about what others will say about you when the film is released. You won’t feel it; your only sensation will be the experience of filming."

"Second, don’t keep thinking about how to look more handsome on film. Do not be narcissistic, and don’t deliberately showcase your looks. Do what you should do, shift your focus away from yourself, and you won’t appear overexerted in everything you do."

"But my fans just like my good looks." Xie Yizun interjected.

Xie Yizun had understood his good looks throughout his growth from childhood.

Ever since he was born, his grandmother had constantly praised him. And when he grew older and went to school, teachers, relatives, friends, and classmates always hinted or implied their attitudes towards him.

How could he not know he was good-looking?

Besides, he aspired to be a star from a young age and believed he could be a star because of his good looks.

In front of his family, Xie Yizun always said whatever was on his mind, and Ning Youguang could easily understand what he was thinking.

"Knowing you’re handsome isn’t a problem, but don’t boast about it. Because the moment you start bragging, you’ll appear very narcissistic, and all self-indulgence will be magnified on screen. Audiences will notice." That would be very off-putting.

"I’m not narcissistic." Xie Yizun instinctively wanted to refute.

Thinking it over, he felt he needed to explain, "I hope to perform better in front of the camera because fans like it that way."

"I didn’t say you were narcissistic. I’m just saying that once you concern yourself with looking handsome on camera, others watching will perceive you as narcissistic." Ning Youguang said, "Of course, fans like idols to look good in shows, but if an idol looks good and is sincere, what do you think your fans will do?"

"They’d like it even more." Xie Yizun answered after a brief silence, "Our teacher also said no one dislikes a sincere person, nor does anyone dislike someone who is hardworking, ambitious, and loves learning."

"What you exhibit will be what the public feeds back to you." Ning Youguang nodded, "People today are evolving very fast. If you understand introspection and how to focus on the core of an issue and improve, whether or not your performance is good, at least no one will dislike someone who is sincere in their work."

Xie Yizun looked down, speaking slowly, "Actually, I’ve realized now that my background can decide whether some people readily accept me. But long-term acceptance depends on whether I do the job well and win others’ approval. These are things I can only strive for myself."

Thus, after taking on this leading role, he felt kind of caught in a tough spot.

He wasn’t as happy as he imagined. Instead, since joining the group, he’s increasingly felt anxiety, insecurity, and fear.

He vaguely knows the reason why.

He knows he lacks solid foundation support.

Everyone around him during the day doesn’t say anything to his face, yet behind his back, he doesn’t know how often he’s been discussed.

His temporary work break and return to Beijing were because he heard a senior in their dressing room saying to others when he sought advice with the script, "If it weren’t for his mom, who’d bother dealing with this brat? He doesn’t even have firm wings yet and wants to stand above us, commanding us this and that. Damn, is it my place to do what he says?"

He stood outside the door, trembling as he heard these words.

He thought he was respectful and genuinely wanted to do well, asking for advice from others. Moreover, initially, they patted him on the back and said, "Don’t be shy if you need anything, buddy."

Yet it turned out...

Thinking about this, Xie Yizun’s expression turned grim.

"Are you thinking of something unpleasant?" Ning Youguang asked, noticing the change in Xie Yizun’s face.

Xie Yizun hesitated for a bit, but still shared what happened in the crew with Ning Youguang.

After hearing the story, Ning Youguang gently patted her angry and wounded brother’s head, saying, "You and him were strangers. How could he wholeheartedly support you in a short time? There are no instant great relationships; they need nurturing. Whether at work or home, without strong resolve, they’re hard to maintain."

"That’s too hard." Xie Yizun covered his face, "I feel I can’t wait that long."

"But the biggest cost of self-improvement is the strategic and time investment. You need to distinguish true savings from real waste. If it’s something you truly want to do, be patient." Ning Youguang said.

"Relationships are beneficial, as long as you know how to utilize them." Shi Wangyue said slowly, having listened patiently from the side.

Both siblings looked at him.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

"I mean, instead of asking others, why not ask Aunt Xia." Shi Wangyue said leisurely, "Why go the long way around?"

Xie Yizun tilted his head, "She’s not in our crew. How would she know how our play is supposed to be performed?"

Ning Youguang watched Xie Yizun blink without saying a word.

Xie Yizun sighed, "Alright, I just hope I can learn well."

Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue shared a look.

They understood why Xie Yizun was acting this way.

However—

"Yiyi, you need to think clearly about what’s most important to you right now." 1314
