Strong Contrast
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xia Xibei not only memorized these lines, but also performed them very well!
Generally speaking, it was easy for newcomers to "memorize" lines without emotion.
When you had to say such a long list of lines, it was like memorizing a book! The acting would either have no emotion, or a surge of emotion and seem too exaggerated.
The role of Yu Qianjiang was that of an aloof goddess.
To play aloof, it was easy to come across as having a frozen face. It was difficult to grasp the difference, especially for newcomers.
That was not true for Xia Xibei.
When she said her lines, there were subtle changes in her expression and eyes. Although her expression was indifferent, you could see that she was changing inside.
When she said her schedule at first, she was a little impatient. When pressed by Shangguan Cheng later, her eyes obviously softened a bit, but the gentleness flickered and quickly returned to indifference and a bit of dislike.
