While Qi Jianyi seriously gave advice to Wen Renyue on a part where he could improvise, Wen Renyue, on the opposite side, was stunned. It was his first time in eight years receiving such detailed and thoughtful guidance.
Qi Jianyi was different from other directors or screenwriters who typically brushed him off, leaving him to figure out his character on his own. Even when he sought to learn from more experienced actors, they would often sneer at him, belittling his efforts. "With your little side character, is there even anything worth learning?" they'd say dismissively. After all, he wasn't the main character.
In the end, Wen Renyue had no choice but to study his scripts by himself. He poured over them, dissecting every line and imagining every nuance. Yet, no matter how much he improved, the results were always the same. His scenes would be cut, leaving him with only two or three fleeting moments of screen time.
