As the planning was done and everything was ironed out, II was apprehensive in the capability of Lead Star 1 (LS1) to deliver the require emotions. This time, II needed LS1 to address other factors in acting. Besides getting the right emotions, many scenes require for challenging physical movements. Thus, LS1 had to synchronize feelings with kicks and punches. Such is a major achievement for any actor who will venture in that project for the first time.
II is a perfectionist and will repeat scenes to make sure the demands of the character and the situation are met. Hence, any actor who fails to meet the standard will cause emotions to go high and heads to scream while on location. Curses would be thrown liberally and for the uninitiated, words can be hurtful. As the production started to roll, LS1 was frustrating II. Having had projects together, LS1 already knew the style of II, and vice versa. Therefore, II knew it would require patience to bring out the best from LS1. With high costs and screening requirements, time was not on their side. II could not bring out the best out of LS1. At the very least, the consolation is that Lead Star 2 (LS2) could deliver the lines and effectively.
When the idea of a new project came up, II thought of leaving LS1, as there were fears that the latter would just be subjected to constant releases of frustrating words. Then, once critics noticed that LS1 was an effective lead, II would be given credit. II did not want that to happen and thus, II moved on, but only after setting the pace of the project. The rest would have to match the set standard or else the project would be a major disappointment.
Without II leading the team, the production did its best. However, as weeks passed, people were shocked that LS1 exceeded expectations in the way the role was attacked. LS1 in character was accepted by the audience, and no II was behind the acting for motivation. It seems that II’s leaving allowed LS1 to draw deep enough to make the acting convincing. Hence, II being gone became the positive motivation for LS1 to be the best.
