Sir, How About A Marriage novel Chapter 159

Yi Yao, the movie, had achieved classic status. The titular character, Yi Yao, was a girl with a rough background. Despite her background, she was kind, strong, and determined. Although she had experienced various hardships, she was not tarnished by the darkness of the world. In the end, through her own efforts, she managed to achieve her dream and find love.

When Ning Xia played the character, Yi Yao, the makeup was minimal. Her eyes were clear and determined; her every action was consistent with the character. This was the reason Liang Zhen, the author and screenwriter for Yi Yao, once said, "Ning Xia brought Yi Yao to life and gave Yi Yao a soul."

At that time, even the director, Pan Hao, nodded vehemently in agreement. He had said, "Ning Xia is very intelligent and a skilled actress. Perhaps, her sense of empathy is strong, she perfectly grasped Yi Yao's emotions. Such an actress is rare and can only be found by chance..."

All these interview videos from the past were dug out by resourceful netizens. Although the quality of the videos was rough, due to their excellent content, they spread like a wildfire on the Internet.

Needless to say, the videos further exposed Ye Xin's shortcomings.

In the original movie, during a crying scene, Ning Xia had cried silently; her eyes expressing unsaid emotions. The viewers were influenced by her acting and were so carried away by her emotions that it was as though they were personally experiencing what she was experiencing.

On the contrary, in the drama, during the crying scene, Ye Xin cried like a spoiled child, which was not in line with Yi Yao's character as well.

Another example was Ning Xia's smile that was like the arrival of spring. It was gentle and soothing.

In contrast, Ye Xin's smile was too ostentatious and bright. It did not convey the character of Yi Yao who had lived a rough life.

Ning Xia perfectly expressed Yi Yao's character while Ye Xin's acting only revealed her life as a princess who had never tasted the hardship of life.

The movie was shot in a mountain village west of the country. All of the actors came to the mountain village half a year in advance to adapt themselves to the environment and to also build a rapport with each other. Therefore, everyone's acting and chemistry were superb.

On the other hand, the drama was entirely shot in a studio. The sets were either created in advance or were computer-generated images.

There were people who commented this was only to be expected since Ye Xin was the Young Miss of a wealthy family; how could she endure hardships?
