    "I'm not an actor, so how can I act." Wen Zhuoyu shook his head: "Mr. Gu wants me to teach you to act. I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

    "You can help." Gu Xihuai smiled and said, "Your performance on the set has already helped me a lot."

    "Really?" Wen Zhuoyu smiled and lowered his head embarrassedly: "I don't know how good my performance is. I was also frightened by the performance of the actor who played against me. I really thought he To kill me... I have always been less courageous."

    Gu Xihuai also followed with a smile, with a tone of gentleness that he hadn't noticed himself: "All good actors are like this, they can help opponent actors get into the play."

    Gu Xihuai paused and asked calmly, "What insights and insights do you have on good actors and good acting skills?"

    "Me?" Wen Zhuoyu thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I think good actors must be very good at observing people and things around them. Therefore, they can be lifelike when performing. And there should be a kind of vividness when performing. Urgent needs……"

    Gu Xihuai was slightly startled when she heard the words: "Urgent needs?"

    Wen Zhuoyu said with a smile: "This is just my own random thoughts. In my opinion, there are two types of actors with good acting skills. One is when an actor with a special character meets a suitable role and plays with the role in the process of acting. The chemistry amplifies a certain trait in the character, thus creating a classic screen image."

    In general, there are many such examples. That's why actors often say that good roles with a good team are hard to come by. Many actors who are recognized for their roles are not good enough to overwhelm their peers, but are extremely lucky to have met the right role at the right age. When the audience sees these actors acting, they will feel that the actors are really empathetic, because these actors can find the common ground between themselves and the characters, amplify their own characteristics and also resonate with the audience.

    Gu Xihuai belongs to this situation. He made his debut at the age of 18, and has acted in three films in five years. The output is not high. But it was extremely fortunate that the characters he encountered all matched a certain characteristic of him. Under the guidance of the director, Gu Xihuai amplified these characteristics and made classic characters one by one. But Gu Xihuai's acting skills are nothing more than that. If he was asked to interpret a character that was completely different from his character background, Gu Xihuai would find it difficult.

    For example, in the film Gu Xihuai is now starring in, he plays a reckless and hot-tempered policeman, but in fact he is a shrewd policeman who has some flaws in his personality because of his childhood experiences. Because of his young experience, the character of the male protagonist can be said to be very complicated. He can do whatever he can to find out the truth, but he firmly adheres to his own principles and bottom lines.

    In the words of director Chen Xusheng, this is a character who is as cunning as a fox and innocent and pure. It cannot be simply defined in black and white terms. Actors should emphasize the multi-faceted and layered complexity of the role when performing.

    Gu Xihuai felt very difficult during the filming process. He can understand Director Chen's analysis and the screenwriter's intention to create this character, including the necessity of certain plots. But he couldn't show his own understanding perfectly. His interpretations are always superficial. In many scenes, he can use his excellent acting skills to dedicate scenes that are "exploding" even from the perspective of the audience, but that's all.

    Gu Xihuai could perceive that his performance had not settled down, nor could it achieve the shooting effect that Director Chen wanted. But he didn't know how to improve his acting skills-until Gu Xihuai saw the replay of Wen Zhuoyu's dying performance in front of the monitor.

    It was like being suddenly struck by lightning of 100,000 volts, Gu Xihuai immediately felt enlightened, and vaguely had some new ideas about the direction of the next performance. So he couldn't wait to find Wen Zhuoyu, and wanted to get more inspiration through the communication with Wen Zhuoyu.

    Wen Zhuoyu had also seen this movie with Gu Xihuai in his last life. Not to mention that he himself made a not-so-great big-screen debut in this movie. The selling point of "Gu Xihuai's posthumous work" alone is enough to attract Wen Zhuoyu to the cinema.

    He still had a fresh memory of the actor Gu Xihuai presented. It was the first time that Wen Zhuoyu watched a movie seriously in his 18 years of life, and then he was conquered by Gu Xihuai's acting skills——

    As Wen Zhuoyu said, Gu Xihuai's current level of performance is probably at the level that ordinary audiences can feel "acting burst" even after watching it. In addition, Gu Xihuai deliberately showed off his skills during filming, and Director Chen Xusheng's skillful and exquisite lens language, That kind of visual impact is hard to describe in words. At least Wen Zhuoyu watched it heartily, and because of this, he had the urge to want to be a good actor.

    It's a pity that Wen Zhuoyu's later encounters were so absurd and bizarre that his acting skills did not show much in front of the camera, but instead he used them all to deal with the people around him. It was also from that time that Wen Zhuoyu gradually realized how ridiculous the so-called "exploding" acting skills were in practice.

    ——As long as the "good acting" that can be seen by others is actually not good. The acting skills that can really deceive people are invisible to the naked eye. Dealing with all the people with ulterior motives, even the leakage of a look or a slight expression may cause immeasurable losses. I live in trembling panic every day, racking my brains to protect myself.

    Even so, he eventually died at the hands of unknown people. Wen Zhuoyu didn't even know when he revealed the clues that led to his death. After all, he knew too many secrets, and there were too many sabotage plots and tricks, and there were definitely not a few people who wanted him to die.

    "...Really superb acting skills should not show traces of performance." Wen Zhuoyu said while breaking the corn: "It's like we meet all kinds of industries in our life. People of all colors, everyone He is working hard to live a better life. This is an urgent need. Mr. Gu’s conditions are so good that even if he doesn’t work hard, he will be able to survive. So there won’t be such a sense of urgency, right?”
