I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 282, The Meaning of Sublimity and Purity

In fact, this scene was designed to highlight Xiang Jingyu's personality.

She is the main character here.

This is the main part of this scene.

Her performance here was so natural that even she herself didn't expect to be able to perform so naturally.

It's a bit unbelievable; she had thought there might be a few takes here.

But that's not the case now.

One scene, one play.

"My good sister is amazing! She's really good at hiding her talent. She's much better than I was the first time I filmed this." Qian Fangfang has a bit of a silly, big sister personality. She was happier watching Xiang Jingyu's scenes go by in one take than she was watching her own scenes go by in one take.

"Actually, I also find it a bit unbelievable. I suddenly felt that when I was acting, it felt very natural."

At this moment, Ye Bingqing murmured.

That natural feeling arises spontaneously.

That's a bit unbelievable.

This natural feeling doesn't come from nowhere.

Ye Bingqing was somewhat aware of this.

"That just means you're excellent," Qian Fangfang teased. "Maybe your current abilities have just been discovered."

It has been unearthed

Even Ye Bingqing himself didn't know where his current feelings came from.

It will become so natural.

Now, Ye Bingqing was thinking about something else.

What am I thinking right now?

correct.

It's Cai Sen.

His eyes and his demeanor didn't resemble those of a great man; they were more like those of my classmates, young men, working hard and full of vigor.

A boy with light in his eyes.

Even his demeanor and personality suggest a certain ordinariness.

Ordinary people like this can appear all around us.

Have you noticed something?

"What is it?"

"Li Yun's acting is very natural," Gong Ruofei paused and said, "It's a very natural feeling. You didn't even notice that we didn't have any particular feelings about his performance."

Yes, I didn't feel anything.

If the director is not experienced enough, they will not be able to spot any problems at all.

"Now that you mention it, I think I've indeed discovered that as well." Liu Qun pondered for a moment.

Whether it's Zhang Yu's opening performance or not.

Or in other scenes, you can see some problems to varying degrees.

Or rather, let's call it fluctuation.

Zhang Yu's problem is that his immersion and sense of involvement far surpasses that of others. Only he is in a complete state, which makes it very difficult for Qian Fangfang to act.

As for Li Yun, he cannot be described as either excellent or not excellent; rather, he is simply natural.

It looks very natural.

It's as if this is how it should be done here.

It should be so.

It was precisely because of this natural feeling that Gong Ruofei and Liu Qun couldn't find any fault with the film after it was finished, and couldn't find anything to comment on.

"Right? Unbelievable," Liu Qun couldn't help but say.

"Is it a coincidence?"

"Isn't Li Yun an immersive actor?"

He was completely absorbed in it?

Hu Nan Normal University has finally started the new semester.

The Three Friends of Xiangjiang, Xiang Jingyu, and Yang Kaihui all gathered in this place.

By Yang Changji.

The first class of students at Hu Nan Normal School, led by this bigwig in the education field.

They came here in their youth.

Here are young people in the prime of their lives.

Of course, there will also be sophisticated egoists like Liu Jingqin.

He is an original character.

A character created by the screenwriter, a contrasting figure among the students.

He looked down on his father, who sold stinky tofu, and his philosophy of education was that only by enduring hardship could one rise above others.

For him, reading had only one purpose.

That is to become what is called a superior person.

Becoming a superior person was his purpose in studying, his obsession in life, and he even tore up the Cai brothers' exam papers.

It was all so that I could get into Hu Nan First Normal School.

Yet, he was a somber figure among this group of young men, a stark contrast to their youthful days.

The addition of this character was also discussed.

After all, it's not really appropriate to include such a character in a mainstream TV series.

In the end, I decided to join the role.

As it turned out, his addition did indeed add a strange atmosphere to the entire crew, and even made Gong Ruofei, who was filming, feel a little nauseous.

"It's normal, it's disgusting, that's what makes it disgusting." Gong Ruofei herself said, "To us, it's just a disgusting screen image, but for people living in that era, this kind of person really existed."

Poverty, but hard work and perseverance, and the initial motivation for hard work and perseverance.

He aspires to be someone who can step on others to become superior, so what he hates most is actually someone like his father, a stinky tofu seller.

Even when his father was washing his clothes, Liu Jingqin could openly and frankly express his dislike.

Ok.

This sophisticated egoist successfully made the entire crew dislike him.

This also shows that the actor's performance was really good.

They can portray a character so convincingly that it makes you feel uncomfortable to the core.

In contrast.

It's probably Cai Sen.

In fact, at the beginning, both Liu Qun and Gong Ruofei felt that Li Yun had a considerable degree of immersion.

His acting was very natural.

There was none of the sense of a great person about him.

无可挑剔。

If Zhang Yu's acting skills and immersion are unparalleled, then Li Yun's immersion is like following the natural way, even allowing those who act opposite Li Yun to have a deep feeling.

Whether it's Ye Bingqing, who plays Xiang Jingyu, or the other young students, they all seem to really enjoy acting opposite Li Yun.

That natural, flowing feeling can even gradually immerse them in this world, in this time and space.

This country in 1913 was in a turbulent and turbulent era.

Li Yun's portrayal of Cai Sen doesn't give off any sense of a great man; he's more like a passionate and virtuous young man.

Somewhat ordinary.

Yes, at this moment, director Gong Ruofei realized a problem. He knew where Li Yun's sense of approachability came from: it was from his ordinary feeling.

Everywhere you look, I am here, in this place, at this moment.

It seems that he could represent any of our childhood: diligent and hardworking in our studies, not feeling inferior or discouraged despite being poor.

He would eat the leftover cornbread, and Liu Jingqin would laugh at him.

I will feel down and inferior.

However, he is different from ordinary people in one aspect.

Even after experiencing something like this, this ordinary boy would still make the same choice.

He would still eat leftover cornbread to save money, and he would shine shoes for others in his spare time to supplement his family's income.

He will do the right thing.

Although he wasn't a great man at that time, you could still tell that he was a good young man.

A boy who is so real, even if he lives right next to you, someone you can see everywhere.

That's how he was at that moment.

"He chose to portray Mr. Cai Sen with an ordinary feel, which I think is a bit off," Liu Qun paused before saying, "but there's no denying that his acting skills are really good."

Even Liu Qun had to admit it when he was here.

This self-taught individual is actually quite skilled.

He became completely absorbed in it.

But is this immersion the right thing to do?

It's hard to say for sure.

There is even some controversy between Gong Ruofei and Liu Qun.

Is this ordinariness something that needs to exist in his personality?

"I know what you're worried about. What you're worried about is that he's not behaving like a great person at all."

Gong Ruofei said, "He seems like someone you could see anywhere, someone around us, and you wouldn't think he's a great person."

"Actually, I also had such concerns, but his sense of immersion was really good. He was able to get them into the role. To be honest, I was quite shocked by this sense of immersion. With his sense of immersion, he could definitely give full play to all the scenes of the character Cai Sen in our current drama, 'The Young Students'."

As an immersive actor, Li Yun has done a satisfactory job.

This level of qualification even slightly exceeded Gong Ruofei's expectations.

Good-looking and with acting skills, isn't that enough?

That's it.

"Let him perform as he sees fit. Although it's a bit ordinary, he's shown the qualities he should have. Let Li Yun perform like this for now. If something really goes wrong, we can make adjustments later."

Gong Ruofei has always respected the development and destiny of her roles.

The same is true for Cai Sen, the young man here.

He now has a somewhat ordinary, boy-next-door feel to him.

But what happens after that?

"It's pretty good."

Zhang Yu was somewhat surprised. In his spare time, he also saw Li Yun's performance. He was a sunny young man who, despite being poor, insisted on his principles and demonstrated the qualities of a good young man.

The Li Yun in front of me is a very pure and good young man.

And they deeply immersed themselves in the role.

Zhang Yu originally thought that Li Yun, as an immersive actor, wouldn't be able to portray the role very well because his nature might be a bit different.

But Li Yun still managed to do it, performing in an immersive way.

Zhang Yu smiled.

Not bad, not bad. Only now do you deserve to act on the same stage as me.

In the same scene, with the same positioning.

"What makes us human is that we have ideals and beliefs, and we understand the meaning of nobility and purity. If we only have interests and selfish desires in our eyes, then what is the difference between us and animals that only satisfy their material desires?"

This is what Cai Sen said when he was facing off against Liu Jingqin in class.

Their backgrounds were largely similar: they were all poor, their families were solely responsible for supporting their education, and they all came to this school for a certain purpose.

Similar backgrounds, yet different choices were made.

From this moment on, these two characters became flesh and blood.

Cai Sen's series of choices transformed this ordinary young man.

He started as a simple student and then changed his life.

Yuan Shikai signed a humiliating treaty that ceded national sovereignty, which angered all the students.
