Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1500 - 1474: Ye Chen’s Explanation

The unexpected thing for everyone was how Ye Chen just treated Tang Qiang.

Why, after seeing Tang Qiang’s acting, did Ye Chen only give praise and say nothing else?

Tang Qiang knew that in the entertainment industry, those with exquisite acting skills were revered.

He was not surprised by Ye Chen’s praise.

After all, he was indeed a master in the entertainment industry.

Ye Chen was just a young man; even famous directors were deeply impressed by Tang Qiang’s acting.

Not to mention someone like Ye Chen, a rookie.

Just as Tang Qiang was feeling smug, Ye Chen said lightly.

"I was talking about the extras performing well."

Laughter erupted on the set upon hearing this sentence.

Ye Chen said the extras performed well, so what about Tang Qiang?

Where did he place the seasoned veteran Tang Qiang?

Upon hearing everyone’s laughter.

Tang Qiang’s face turned ashen with anger.

Ye Chen repeated once more.

"What I said isn’t wrong."

"The expressions, demeanor, and movements of the extras were all spot on, isn’t that acting well?"

Ye Chen said lightly.

"The key is, these extras didn’t crack up despite seeing your terrible performance, that’s truly rare; their dedication is really admirable."

Tang Qiang was practically fuming after hearing Ye Chen’s words.

He shouted angrily, "Ye Chen, what do you mean by that?"

"Let me tell you, it doesn’t matter how you treat or insult me, but you can’t question my acting skills."

Tang Qiang, trembling with anger, stuttered as he spoke.

"You... you may have background and strength, but... but I’m not someone you can just insult."

"I can tell you my acting skills are unmatched."

Tang Qiang became increasingly agitated, and he could only express his frustration with Ye Chen verbally.

Because he couldn’t beat Ye Chen, he didn’t dare lay a hand on Ye Chen.

Tang Qiang was still very confident in his acting skills, he felt he was the top dog in the entertainment industry.

He also knew he couldn’t compete with Ye Chen in terms of strength, aura, or network.

But even so, he couldn’t let Ye Chen insult his acting skills without a fight.

Ye Chen knew he had already struck Tang Qiang earlier, given the latter’s age, hitting him again would clearly be bullying the elderly.

He certainly couldn’t do such a shameful thing, nor be caught doing it.

Moreover, Ye Chen knew someone like Tang Qiang, an older veteran always boasting superior acting skills, wouldn’t concede even if hit.

At this point, he needed to speak with real skill.

Ye Chen was referring to skill, not wealth or status.

But rather, Tang Qiang’s acting skills he took pride in.

Ye Chen decided that next he would focus on this area to bring down the old man completely and destroy his spirit.

"All I’m saying is the truth, if you act well, I would naturally praise you."

"The imposing feeling you give off isn’t natural, it’s contrived, making your acting too stiff and very fake."

Ye Chen pointed out what he observed.

But despite Ye Chen’s words, many on the set truly felt Tang Qiang’s acting was excellent.

Along with Tang Qiang’s identity as a seasoned actor and artist, his acting impressed them even more.

Ye Chen was certainly different from them, he had divine-level acting skills.

In his eyes, Tang Qiang’s acting was simply unwatchable and even considered trash.

"Kid, I know you’re targeting me, dislike my better acting, and resent me for saying you brought in funding, right? You’re completely retaliating against me." Tang Qiang shouted loudly.

He simply couldn’t stand Ye Chen insulting him.

Tang Qiang believed a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.

He felt Ye Chen was constantly picking at him, nitpicking.

"Alright then, since you say that, I’ll make you acknowledge it." Ye Chen said calmly.

Tang Qiang certainly didn’t think Ye Chen could say anything professional.

After all, the kid hadn’t acted in any dramas, at least not in his memory.

Actor skills can’t be verbalized easily, it requires experience, summarizing experiences in every show, and constant improvement.

It’s not something learned from books.

By count, Tang Qiang had acted in many dramas, naturally, he was very experienced.

After hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhang Mou gathered the actors, many even took out small notebooks ready to learn.

Everyone previously heard Zhang Mou talk about Ye Chen, naturally knowing he had a high understanding of acting.

If listening to Ye Chen’s explanation could improve their acting, that would be wonderful.

Professional lessons like this usually cost money, but here they could listen for free, the young actors became extremely excited.

Ye Chen, with an indifferent expression, said to Tang Qiang: "Today I’ll give you a proper lesson."

Tang Qiang, hearing this, showed a disdainful expression.

He felt Ye Chen was boasting, with no real ability.

Ye Chen paid no attention to Tang Qiang and began speaking.

"As we all know, Emperor Qin fought countless battles, while Tang Qiang is playing the middle-aged period of Emperor Qin."

"By this time, Emperor Qin wouldn’t have much energy, he wouldn’t constantly be so imposing; by then, he held supreme power."

"Moreover, the period Tang Qiang plays, Emperor Qin’s health was poor, how could he have such energy?"

"Everyone’s energy is limited, Emperor Qin is human, not a god. Yet Tang Qiang shows that imposing aura all the time; it feels fake, affecting the artistic effect."

Ye Chen patiently explained, directly naming Tang Qiang’s shortcomings.

Everyone who heard also felt it made a lot of sense.

"If I were to portray this Emperor Qin, having everything now, he wouldn’t need to constantly show his imposing aura. His imposing aura was to deter others before gaining the world; now, he doesn’t need that."

Not only were those present shocked by Ye Chen, even the stubborn Tang Qiang showed surprise.

"The middle-aged Emperor Qin, actually was no different from ordinary elderly, his life was similar to that of ordinary families, just eating better; no need to show imposing aura while eating or sleeping, or he’d be exhausted."
