Chapter 1776: Chapter 1623: Otherworldly Entertainment Tycoon 53

Jian Shuangshuang’s method proved to be very effective. Although Du Xinyu is young, she has spent the past two years accompanying Jian Shuangshuang around film sets, spending all the time she isn’t studying watching people act.

On top of that, she has had cameo roles in every film, and by now, Du Xinyu’s acting skills are very impressive; at least for a child, they are excellent.

Du Xinyu is playing a child, and with Jian Shuangshuang’s prior training, it was very easy for her to get into character, calling Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang mom and dad very naturally.

This scene is about Zang Haixin just having gone through a talent test, revealing a super talent in cultivation. Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang prepare a sumptuous dinner to celebrate their daughter’s birthday with their son Zang Lin.

The actor playing Zang Lin is a young man that Jian Shuangshuang previously recruited, with decent acting talent, and most importantly, he bears a three-point resemblance to Zang Lin; after makeup, the similarity becomes seventy percent.

Faced with a boy who closely resembles their son in his teenage years, Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang found it easier to slip into their roles naturally, as Jian Shuangshuang assured that filming wasn’t starting yet.

As Du Xinyu joyfully cupped her face, boasting about her test results to Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang, they naturally recalled their mindset at that time—excited and proud, yet restraining their joy to appear calm.

With this mindset, the couple effortlessly completed the scene, only realizing they had been filmed when Jian Shuangshuang called cut, suddenly becoming tense.

Jian Shuangshuang smiled and said to the two, "Don’t be nervous, your previous performance was superb. Would auntie and uncle like to see how you did before? Your acting was great."

Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang hesitated for a moment, feeling a little incredulous, but then they approached. Previously, they kept missing the mark, and they were somewhat disappointed in their acting skills.

They even had prepared themselves; if another day didn’t improve, they’d ask Jian Shuangshuang to find someone else to act their parts and not clutter up the set.

Unexpectedly, on the big screen, their acting appeared very natural, so natural that it was indistinguishable from the performance of seasoned actors they had seen in movies.

This surprised and delighted Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang. Fu Linlang couldn’t help but say to Jian Shuangshuang, "How is this possible? I didn’t even use any of the techniques you taught us, yet I acted well?"

Zang Sheng nodded from the side, acknowledging that he hadn’t used any of the acting techniques Jian Shuangshuang had previously taught him, yet somehow, he delivered a muddled yet decent performance.

Jian Shuangshuang smiled as she explained, "It wasn’t that you acted well, it’s that you expressed yourselves. In this film, what you need to do is not act, but be yourself.

Because what you are presenting is yourselves. You can forget the acting techniques I taught you before. Next, remember the feeling of today’s performance; just being yourself is enough.

When you encounter something, think about how you felt at that time, and then make the same response; that’s your best acting."

In fact, it was Jian Shuangshuang who had been rigidly fixated on acting skills, stubbornly working with Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang, when all along, they were just expressing themselves, requiring no acting skill for the best performance outcome.

Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang may lack acting skills, but they’re not foolish. Having succeeded once, they quickly identified the key to performing well by thoughtfully revisiting their prior method.

Jian Shuangshuang then brought over Zang Haixin, employing the same method with her; sure enough, she easily found her acting groove, and she was thrilled.

Although she wasn’t greatly interested in acting, she was very interested in playing herself in a film.

Zang Haixin had previously given up, but unexpectedly, the situation turned around. Jian Shuangshuang found a way to enhance her acting skills, allowing her to fulfill her wish to act as herself, bringing much joy to Zang Haixin.

With the most difficult issue resolved, the subsequent filming proceeded smoothly, swiftly concluding the first phase of shooting at the Zang family’s old residence.

Since many actors were novices, Jian Shuangshuang dared not use the method of skipping scenes in one setting for fear that emotional continuity might falter, impacting the actors’ performances.

Therefore, Jian Shuangshuang decided to move to the second filming location: a secret realm that Zang Haixin had previously visited, which inherently was difficult to enter.

But fortunately, due to over-extraction, this secret realm had become barren; its precious spiritual medicines had been entirely harvested.

This incident had caused quite a sensation at the time, as the formation of a secret realm is extremely challenging, whether naturally or artificially made.

Each secret realm, whether ownerless or owned, is customarily not entered at will, usually sealed for decades, then opened once more.

Moreover, during each entry, treasures cannot be harvested indiscriminately; spiritual medicines and spirit grasses must have seedlings left behind, allowing for regrowth once harvested, along with proper irrigation using Spiritual Object Growth Liquid.

After such treatment, the area from which spiritual medicines were extracted would, over decades or a century, produce new spiritual medicines, thus ensuring endless cycles.

The secret realm that Zang Haixin discovered was unclaimed; with the court far away and no major sect nearby, no one was immediately dispatched to manage the secret realm.

Thus, the first batch of discoverers, including Zang Haixin, went in to harvest, where she encountered a top-grade spiritual medicine that significantly boosted her cultivation.

She also battled several powerful spirit beasts within the secret realm, enhancing her combat skills while gathering abundant spirit grasses and spiritual medicines.

Though Zang Haixin and the other first batch of entrants were restrained, and the subsequent two waves also acted with restraint, so substantial amounts of spiritual medicines and spirit grasses were extracted, the core was left intact.

However, the final wave discovered that few valuable items remained in the secret realm, and feeling they’ve been preempted, they collectively ravaged the realm, uprooting spiritual medicine and spirit grass seedlings, and taking them away.

The removal of these spiritual medicine and spirit grass seedlings to sell to cultivators led to low survival rates outside the secret realm because they often could not adapt to external climates.

With the seedlings’ low survival rates, many perish, making it an inefficient method, which is why this destruction of treasure is uncommon.

When the court and surrounding major sect’s people finally reached the secret realm, they found it dug up and looted, even its spirit stones under the spirit vein gone, rendering it useless.

This incited public outrage, and those who disregarded this by uprooting even the spiritual medicine seedlings were collectively denounced by the court and all major families and sects, barring them from entering any secret realm again.

The punishment was severe, given the multitude of secret realms worldwide, housing not only spiritual medicines and spirit grasses but also powerful Inheritance Secret Realms.

This depleted secret realm had become worthless and thus was entirely opened, allowing free entry, making it convenient for Jian Shuangshuang to lead her team there for filming.
