Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 406 This is not an illness, but something more terrifying.

The moment Tang Xiaoge met Ning Yao's gaze, she almost cried out "Su Wanwan".

Ning Yao's current style is fresh and retro, giving people a sense of time travel, and he is still Su Wanwan's commander.

"Teacher Tang? Are you alright?" Ning Yao asked with some concern as Tang Xiaoge seemed to be lost in thought several times.

The tone was polite, but the concern was genuine.

As colleagues who had worked together, Ning Yao appreciated Tang Xiaoge's character, especially after the incident involving the director who sexually harassed her.

"It's nothing. I was just too busy. It's a little disorienting to relax all of a sudden," Tang Xiaoge laughed, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"I've ordered a few side dishes, Teacher Tang, please take a look and see what you'd like to eat," Ning Yao said with a smile, pushing the menu in front of Tang Xiaoge.

Ning Yao didn't jump straight to the point. She first took care of Tang Yingdi's lunch, and they talked while eating, which made the atmosphere much better.

Tang Xiaoge took the menu and ordered several of the restaurant's signature dishes.

Perhaps influenced by her mood, Tang Xiaoge ordered two pink-themed desserts after ordering the main course.

Although Ning Yao has a cold and aloof appearance, and at first glance she is a beautiful and ethereal woman, in fact, if she wants to, she can easily build relationships with people, soften her aura, and make the atmosphere instantly harmonious.

"Teacher Tang, I haven't been in the industry for very long and I don't know many seniors, so I have to trouble you." Ning Yao said with a smile.

"It's no trouble at all."

"Is this problem of getting too involved in the role your own, or your friend's?" Tang Xiaoge continued, following Ning Yao's words.

"She's my friend." Ning Yao didn't want to reveal Ning Duoduo's name to protect her; she couldn't let outsiders think she was a theatrical fanatic.

Ning Yao herself doesn't have this problem; she has always been able to clearly distinguish between what's on and off screen. She lacks experience in this area, which is why she doesn't know where to start to help Duo Duo get through it.

Although Ning Yao denied that she was the one who got too immersed in the role, Tang Xiaoge felt that it was Ning Yao.

"A friend of mine" is a euphemism; no one wants to expose their privacy to outsiders.

What role did she get so deeply into? Which character?

A thought popped into Tang Xiaoge's mind: wasn't Ning Yao's most recent filming collaboration with him?

Is Ning Yao so immersed in the role of 'Su Wanwan' that she can't get out of it?

Thinking about the ambiguous relationship and emotional entanglement between Su Wanwan and his commander in the drama, Tang Xiaoge's mood became turbulent.

Realizing he had been daydreaming, Tang Xiaoge quickly regained his composure, looked at Ning Yao who was waiting for his explanation, and began to speak in a deep voice.

"It's normal for actors to get into character; getting into character is a good thing. Only when actors are in character can they truly present the role to the audience."

"Many actors have difficulty getting into character and need someone to guide them. They also get out of character very quickly, which is a sign of poor acting skills. A talented actor is one who can get into character quickly and deeply, even without the director's instructions, just by reading the script and understanding the character. There is no need to worry too much. For an actor's career, this is definitely an advantage, not a disadvantage."

Tang Xiaoge first affirmed the benefits of getting into character, preventing Ning Yao from becoming too nervous and feeling how terrible it would be to not be able to distinguish herself from the character. Then, she changed the subject and her tone became much more serious.

"But this kind of acting method is very damaging. Actors have to completely immerse themselves in the role. Even after filming, when they get home, they still feel like they are the character. Over time, this will affect their mental and physical health."

"For actors, getting too immersed in a role is a good thing, but for actors themselves, it is a very scary trend."

"If you play a character who breaks down and wants to commit suicide in a play, and you can't get out of it, you might develop depression in real life."

Tang Xiaoge felt a pang of sorrow as she thought of those outstanding actors who committed suicide because they were too immersed in their roles.

Fortunately, Su Wanwan is a strong-willed person, so she wouldn't give up on life just because of some trouble.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoge inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, there are ways to adjust, such as not taking on roles too frequently and giving yourself time to process the previous character."

“Even doing things that are completely contrary to my public persona and personality, as a reminder of who I really am and who I am not.”

"There were a few times when I got so into character that I couldn't get out of character, and I even developed some strange feelings for the actresses off-screen."

"That actress was married, with a husband and children. During my break, I tried my best to see her as little as possible, avoiding her whenever possible, until I could face her calmly and without any particular emotional fluctuations in my heart before resuming normal social interactions."

Tang Xiaoge held nothing back from Ning Yao; he wanted to do everything in his power to help her resolve the issue of being too immersed in her role.

Tang Xiaoge explained attentively, almost as if she had compiled all her experience and explained it in a clear and organized manner. Ning Yao listened attentively.

Especially after hearing Tang Xiaoge recount her experiences, including the fact that she was married and had children, Ning Yao knew that Tang Xiaoge was genuinely helping her wholeheartedly and without reservation, for which she was extremely grateful.

"Now I can handle the roles on and off screen at will, and I can distinguish them very clearly." Tang Xiaoge did go through a period where he couldn't distinguish between himself and his role, but that was only when he was still inexperienced. He discovered it in time, corrected it in time, and changed his acting style, which is how he got out of that situation.

"At the time, I hesitated, thinking that blurring the lines between the actor and the role might be a good thing, as it would make the acting more natural. Nothing can move the audience more than playing oneself."

"But later, I realized that I am Tang Xiaoge myself, not a character in any role, but the living, breathing Tang Xiaoge."

"If you can act very well even without this method of acting, I suggest you give up the method of immersion; it's too dangerous."

"If you can't act anymore after giving up, then it depends on what this 'actor who is too immersed in the role' really wants. If he wants to continue being an actor, then he should restrain himself, rest more, and not take on roles with particularly large emotional fluctuations frequently, giving himself some buffer time."

"Make sure to give her enough buffer time. That means you need to agree on the terms and rules with the company your friend signed with. Make sure she doesn't force herself; this is no joke."

When Tang Xiaoge said these words, her eyes were bright, carrying an imposing authority and confidence.

He was qualified enough to say these words of advice to the younger generation, but what leverage do newly debuted actors have to negotiate with the company?

Fortunately, Ning Yao has a powerful background, so Tang Xiaoge doesn't need to worry about that.

With both Wen Tingye and Si Men involved, Ning Yao is luckier than many other artists who debut as actors.

"oh, I understand now."

"Then let's try changing the approach first. If that doesn't work, we'll make a final decision," Ning Yao said, then looked at Tang Xiaoge with a curious expression and asked with an innocent smile.

"Does Teacher Tang have any good ways to change the way someone gets too immersed in a role?"

"Yes," Tang Xiaoge replied immediately, almost without hesitation, showing no reluctance to share.

"Let's talk after we eat. We've been talking for so long, you should take a rest."

Ning Yao was very grateful to Tang Xiaoge, and even felt that this meal was not enough to thank Tang Xiaoge. She felt that she owed Tang Xiaoge a huge favor.
