Chapter 471 Multiple Identities

"If Evelyn is a dark character, or if she often needs to express some negative emotions in the play, then I am afraid it will be difficult for me to always maintain a friendly and positive attitude on the set - do you understand? This is because the different roles have different effects."

Sigourney's tone was gentle and sincere. Su Lingxi was also influenced by her attitude and slowly relaxed.

"Yes, I understand, but this feeling of being on the verge of losing control is really not pleasant." Thinking of Gerald's ambiguous look, she sighed distressedly, "The new technique can allow me to contribute more wonderful performances, but it also brings me a lot of trouble... To be honest, I don't know how to properly deal with these inadvertent troubles."

"Like your almost 'lost' self?"

"Yes, maybe... this is already a mental illness."

"Don't be like that, dear. I don't think this is a serious problem." Sigourney softened her voice and said soothingly, "Method actors are usually the type that 'do not follow the ordinary' in the crew. Every director knows this. Didn't Tracy mention it to you? Ten years ago, Daniel Gaben was a frequent guest in the gossip tabloids - just because he could not control his temper and often clashed with others on the set."

"Of course, this doesn't mean that he is a bad-tempered man in real life. Most of these conflicts are caused by his inability to get out of the role quickly. But you know, Daniel has been the darling of major directors since the day he became famous. No one will hold him responsible for this. There are very few truly excellent method actors in Hollywood. If the crew cannot adapt to Daniel's rhythm, then everything is of course the crew's problem, and no one will blame him."

Su Lingxi also deeply understood what Sigourney said - when it comes to tolerance, Greta and the other staff of "The Painted Veil" were very considerate of her immersion in the role, gave her enough personal space, and always remembered to care about her without disturbing her too much.

This approach actually further fueled Su Lingxi's desire to win.

She is proud of herself for having made it to where she is today. She likes challenges, the excitement of adrenaline and dopamine, and she likes winning even more - winning is always good, with few exceptions.

Therefore, even though she knew that the new techniques could better shape the character, she simply couldn't give them up.

But she was not without worries.

"Compared to other things, I think the most important thing for you right now is to find the right anchor in life." On the other end of the phone, Sigourney changed the subject and her tone became serious. "Not being able to distinguish between reality and role can easily lead to mental illness. In the past, Hollywood has had more than one actor who had hallucinations because he was too immersed in the role. Being swallowed up by the role is a very dangerous thing."

At this point, she paused for a few seconds, "Another thing is that what makes you more special than me and Daniel is your 'side job'."

"You are not only an actor, but also an excellent businessman and an ambitious film producer."

"So you always like to take control of the initiative, always pay attention to your words and actions, self-discipline, self-control, these are all very obvious labels on you - in my opinion, you seem to treat your body as a sophisticated weapon, rather than a normal human body, am I right?"

Su Lingxi was speechless - in fact, she was completely stunned by the interpretation of this good friend of different ages - she even instinctively felt an uneasiness of being seen through.

"My dear, I have to point out that your multiple identities have actually increased your psychological burden to some extent." As if she didn't notice her sudden rapid breathing, Sigourney continued: "People with strong personalities are naturally inclined to close their true feelings inward, because they are often unwilling to show their weaknesses in front of others. This means that such people are more closed-minded than ordinary people and are more likely to have problems - just like you, in order to ensure a perfect 'social image', you can never give other people 100% trust, and all your thoughts and pressures can only be kept in your heart."

"Excuse me, this is equivalent to cutting off the channel for venting your stress."

"Yes, but this is more like a subconscious self-protection mechanism." Su Lingxi refuted with difficulty. She didn't realize how dry her voice was until this moment. "It's not that I don't trust you or Carly, it's just-"

"--I'm just not used to telling other people about your troubles." Sigourney took over the conversation as expected, "It's not a difficult question, Nicole. I once minored in psychology, so I can understand where your emotions come from."

"But if you look deeply into your heart, you should understand that moodiness is just the initial manifestation of a person's psychological imbalance. If you are unwilling to face and solve this problem, and fail to find a suitable anchor point, then one day you will be on the headlines of gossip tabloids because of your mental problems."

Sigourney's words were very strong, even sharp, but Su Lingxi did not feel unhappy at all - although they were not the kind of close friends who were inseparable, Su Lingxi always had a unique sense of closeness to Sigourney because of her past support and help.

Especially as her status continued to rise, Su Lingxi became more and more aware of how precious this kind of pure feeling of mutual appreciation and common interests between artists is - she knew very well that this kind of feeling could not exist in the world of fame and fortune, where gaming, calculations and lies continued.

Therefore, no matter how close her partnership with Kevin was, she would never trust him as much as she trusted Sigourney, and she would never want to expose her weaknesses in front of him.

In front of Sigourney, showing weakness was no longer a mistake for her, and she seemed to be able to turn to her for help naturally.

"So, do you think... the filming of "The Veil" should continue?" Su Lingxi asked hesitantly.

She believed that since Sigourney could see her problem, she would definitely understand the unspoken meaning of her words.

"This film will only take up a few months of your filming time. Don't worry, your psychological endurance is stronger than you think." Sigourney laughed. I have to admit that her cheerful laughter just comforted Su Lingxi. "If possible, I suggest you return to Los Angeles in time after the filming. You know, there are many world-renowned psychotherapists in Hollywood..."
