Chapter 204: Introversion techniques, Gu Cheng visits the set, rival in love appears

Ren Zhangtao received the gaze from his good friend, naturally took over the topic, and discussed it with Jin Li.

"Emotion. The key point for me to switch between the self and the character is emotion. I will magnify a certain emotion."

Ren Zhangtao continued: "But magnifying emotions is not without drawbacks. This will make me need to brew for a longer time before filming, and it will also make it harder for me to detach from the emotions within.

If it weren't for the fact that this character overlaps with some of my personality, this approach would make me very uncomfortable. Forcibly integrating emotions I don't have, or even emotions I can't understand at all, consumes a lot of mental energy for an actor."

Simply put, you have to have this emotion and understand it to magnify it.

If you can't understand it, this method will become very difficult.

Jin Li thought of the "detachment" Ren Zhangtao mentioned, which was also because the character's emotions overlapped with his own, making it easier for him to detach than other actors.

Other people might need to spend more than ten minutes, while Ren Zhangtao only needed a few minutes, or even less than a minute.

This highly efficient method made Jin Li very envious.

"Unfortunately, my personality is too different from Vera's, otherwise I could try to learn."

Ren Zhangtao said modestly: "This is just a small trick, not worth specifically learning."

Jin Li shook her head and said seriously: "As an actor, any technique that is helpful to acting is worth learning. This is being responsible to oneself and also responsible to the set."

When saying this, looking at Ren Zhangtao for a long time, Jin Li noticed a flash of pink between his eyebrows.

The Red Phoenix Star is moving?

Jin Li couldn't help but think: Young people's love comes so suddenly.

She remembered that when she first joined the set a few days ago, she observed Ren Zhangtao, and there was no such pink cluster between his eyebrows.

She had a bad impression of Ren Zhangtao at first, also because she saw from his physiognomy that this was a face with a "Peach Blossom Evil."

Ren Zhangtao's emotional relationships were a bit messy.

As the master of the evil, he was protected by the blessings of his ancestors and had golden light merit to protect his body, so he wouldn't encounter any setbacks or difficulties because of emotions.

But the girls he had flirted with had some bumpy emotional paths.

So he had many peach blossom debts, and it was thanks to the protection of the golden light, otherwise something would have happened long ago.

During the conversation, Deng Zexu saw that it was getting late and said: "Let's talk about anything tomorrow night. There is a big morning scene tomorrow."

Jin Li wanted to go out, and Ren Zhangtao also wanted to follow, but was blocked by Deng Zexu, who had quick eyes and fast hands.

With this block, Jin Li took the elevator first.

Deng Zexu walked over and closed the door. "Stop looking. Even if you stare a hole in the door, you won't see anything."

Ren Zhangtao asked eagerly: "How is it, Old Deng? Is Jin Li interested in me?"

Deng Zexu looked at Ren Zhangtao carefully, as if meeting him for the first time.

"Are you really fallen? You like Jin Li that much?"

Ren Zhangtao said embarrassedly: "I have never had my heart beat so fast for a girl. Once I make eye contact with her, I start having wild thoughts."

Deng Zexu patted his shoulder and said with a heavy face: "I asked today. The reason Jin Li stares at you is because of the veteran actor's suggestion. They told Jin Li to learn from you, which is why she did that.

You didn't see it. Jin Li wrote a lot of notes today, all analysis related to acting. She doesn't have that meaning toward you."

Ren Zhangtao felt a bit of a heart attack.

He didn't expect one of the world's great illusions to happen to him.

He was silent for a while, then said with a firm gaze: "Then I'll go pursue her."

Deng Zexu thought of Ren Zhangtao's emotional path from childhood to adulthood and couldn't help but have a headache, tactfully advising:

"Why must it be Jin Li? You've met many beauties, and it's not like there aren't others of Jin Li's cute and pure type."

Ren Zhangtao: "They all approached me consciously, wanting to get something from me, but Jin Li is different."

Deng Zexu couldn't help but kick him: "You double-standard dog, isn't Jin Li also wanting to learn acting from you!"

"That's different. I know my own ability. This is just a technique I discovered by coincidence. Without me, Jin Li would sooner or later be able to learn it herself."

Even if Ren Zhangtao didn't understand acting very well, he could see that Jin Li had talent in acting; she wasn't bad.

Deng Zexu was speechless.

"You just pour yourself soul-stirring soup. Now you still have to film. Don't be too carried away when pursuing people. Don't affect Jin Li's performance when the time comes, or I will definitely block you with all my might."

Ren Zhangtao said affirmatively: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

Deng Zexu: "Heh, someone with a sense of proportion wouldn't say those words before. Double-standard dog!"

Not long after Ren Zhangtao walked out of the door, he suddenly returned, sitting restlessly in front of Deng Zexu, as if thinking about a very serious problem.

Deng Zexu: "? What's wrong with you again?"

Ren Zhangtao said blankly: "Let me ask you, how should I pursue?"

Deng Zexu: "... It's not like you haven't pursued people before, and you still have to ask me, this mother-born single dog?"

Ren Zhangtao couldn't help but say: "Jin Li is different from those girls. I can't use ordinary methods."

Deng Zexu rolled his eyes at him: "There's nothing different. Feelings in student days are also very pure. You always feel that others have a purpose in approaching you, but besides a handsome face, what else do you have that's worth looking at?

Everyone wore school uniforms at the time. The total cost of your outfit didn't exceed two hundred yuan, of which the school uniform accounted for 150. What else is there for people to covet?"

Ren Zhangtao was speechless from being told off. "Why do you always roast me?"

"I'm afraid you'll be lost for love, dizzy, causing irresistible consequences for the set. Let me wake your brain up first!"

Deng Zexu would definitely not say it.

Back then, he had a girl he liked, who went to confess because Deng Zexu was handsome.

Jin Li's acting on set had undergone some changes.

Deng Zexu, who held the camera, was the first to feel it. He pondered for a while and specifically called other veteran actors to take a look.

The veteran actors just saw something based on some details and couldn't help but say: "Hmm, she has spirit. She has already understood some."

Jin Li's acting became more introverted.

She was more inclined to express micro-expressions.

Under the ultra-high-definition image quality of the movie, the actor's detailed performance appeared very important, because the audience could notice those details.

This scene was Vera feeling that she had come as a secretary, so she wanted to fulfill her duties as a secretary and go to the staff living area.

She wanted to see if there was anything she could do, and also to understand the staff dormitory in advance.

She checked room by room, the doors were pushed open one by one, and finally, she slowly walked to the front of the last door, her hand reaching out.

But before touching the door, Jin Li was called out.

"Vera."

Jin Li's hand paused, turned her head to look, and the maid walked over expressionlessly.

"What are you doing? This is not a place for guests to come."

Jin Li's expression was first an intake of breath, then an exhalation, her eyes drifting a bit, as if she was quickly thinking of an answer.

"I just wanted to come over and see. I am the secretary they hired."

The maid said: "But we didn't receive any notice. Please go up first."

The maid's words were also very calm, unhurried, not showing any panic, but also not showing much respect.

Jin Li nodded, subconsciously looked back at the door, and smiled lightly: "Okay."

Following Jin Li's departure, the camera was pulled to another place. Behind the door of that room, the butler was vigilantly sticking to the door.

"Cut!!"

Deng Zexu shouted, specifically calling Jin Li over to show her her camera expressiveness.

He said: "Your handling of micro-expressions is obviously mature. The flaw is that it's a bit deliberate. Practice more next time."

Jin Li couldn't help but say: "Director Deng, I can reshoot."

Deng Zexu: "But I don't think it's necessary."

He smiled. "Jin Li, we must allow movies to not be so perfect."

For a long time, Jin Li didn't understand what Director Deng meant by these words.

Until after this movie was released, she specifically ran to the cinema to watch it, and suddenly understood.

Only imperfection can set off that trace of perfection.

Director Deng's strength was not enough to make this film perfect everywhere, but he directed a classic scene in the movie that many netizens would never forget.

Ren Zhangtao had felt very confused recently.

He clearly hadn't encountered any setbacks on the road of love, but only when facing Jin Li did he feel that any means were a kind of blasphemy.

The more he observed Jin Li, the more he felt her divinity was strong, every minute and every second was so pure and refined, making him feel ashamed of himself.

But the attack still had to be launched.

Deng Zexu stared at him, not letting him disturb Jin Li's thoughts on set, afraid of affecting Jin Li's performance.

But Ren Zhangtao didn't want to have a super-fast romance. Because he was cautious, he wanted to have a long-term relationship with Jin Li.

So his first step was to approach Jin Li's assistant and inquire about Jin Li's hobbies from her.

Chen Qin felt that her assistant career had ushered in its first challenge.

What to do if a male star is always buzzing in her ear?

Chen Qin wouldn't think that her charm was great enough to capture a male star. As long as she listened carefully, she would find that eight out of ten questions Ren Zhangtao asked were asking about Jin Li in a roundabout way.

This made Chen Qin quickly vigilant. She had participated in employee training.

Cannot leak company secrets, and even more so cannot leak the boss's hobbies and whereabouts!

At the same time, she couldn't tell Jin Li about these miscellaneous things.

Chen Qin had thought about whether to call Sister Fang to ask. Sister Fang should be able to guide her on what to do.

But then Chen Qin thought, Sister Fang was very busy. For people in the entertainment industry, this kind of thing should be the simplest and most normal thing.

That is, just send them away.

But how to send them away was a problem.

—When in doubt, ask the gods!

Chen Qin knelt and kowtowed three times and nine times in the room, with a pious expression, taking out the fortune-telling tube she specifically bought at the Long Hu Temple from her bag.

She closed her eyes, thinking about this problem in her heart, asking how to solve it, shook the tube a few times, and heard a crisp and pleasant "patta" sound.

Chen Qin opened her eyes and found that three lots had been shaken out.

First lot: Recite scriptures.

Second lot: Smile.

Third lot: Develop believers.

Chen Qin suddenly had an idea.

This day, after Ren Zhangtao finished filming, taking advantage of others not paying attention, he slipped to Chen Qin's side again and whispered: "Little sister, what fruit does Jin Li like to eat?"

If it were in the past, Chen Qin would say: "Not easy to tell you."

Then Ren Zhangtao would play the rogue: "Just asking about a fruit, no need to be so vigilant."

Leaving the speechless Chen Qin not knowing what to say.

But today, Chen Qin smiled slightly at him and said kindly and gently: "Are you interested in the *Tao Te Ching*?"

Ren Zhangtao:?

Chen Qin said: "Jin Li is a Daoist. You should finish reading and understanding the *Tao Te Ching* before talking."

Ren Zhangtao was speechless, and it took a long time before he said: "No, what I asked wasn't—"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Qin had already started taking the book and chanting: "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things.

Therefore, always without desire, one can see its mystery; always with desire, one can see its manifestations. These two have the same origin but different names, both called profound. Profound and again profound, the gate of all mysteries..."

Ren Zhangtao:...

The turtle is reciting scriptures, don't listen, don't listen!

Next, every time Ren Zhangtao went to find Chen Qin, Chen Qin would take out a book and start chanting scriptures.

Ren Zhangtao was afraid. This little assistant was not so easy to handle.

But he wouldn't give up!

Brave little Ren, not afraid of difficulties.

While Ren Zhangtao was getting braver despite setbacks, Jin Li's performance on set unlocked layer by layer, advancing by leaps and bounds.

At the beginning, Deng Zexu could still pick out her mistakes, exert the director's ability, and explain the play to her.

But after a few days, Director Deng became a ruthless machine of filming, shouting cut, continuing to film, and continuing to shout cut.

The reason was very simple: he could no longer guide Jin Li's acting.

And the performances of other veteran actors, even Ren Zhangtao's performance, met his expectations, so he didn't need to say much.

Not only did Deng Zexu feel the change in Jin Li's acting, but the veteran actors who had scenes with Jin Li also felt it.

"The younger generation is formidable!"

A veteran actor sat leisurely in a corner of the set, basking in the sun with leisure.

Another veteran actor was slowly practicing boxing, exercising his body.

"Yes, she is improving very fast. In the past, young people like her I met later all made a career in the entertainment industry."

The career in the veteran actor's mouth was reaching the peak in the field of acting—

Best Actor, or Best Actress!

As actors, they only looked at acting skills, and didn't look at anything else.

Acting was pure, and the comparison field of actors should also be pure.

"Jin Li, I will finish all my scenes the day after tomorrow. I plan to hold a small wrap-up banquet. It won't be big, just find the actors on the set to have a meal together. What do you think?"

Today, Jin Li rarely appeared on set when she had no scenes.

Ever since Jin Li pondered the technique, she never came to the set to squat and stare at Ren Zhangtao, which made Ren Zhangtao a bit disappointed.

Seeing her appear this time, Ren Zhangtao immediately leaned over to chat.

Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten that he had to film later, holding the script in his hand, lowering his head to glance at the lines from time to time.

Jin Li said absentmindedly: "Okay, whatever you want."

Ren Zhangtao made persistent efforts: "Is there anything you like to eat? I'll make a menu in advance."

Jin Li's eyes suddenly lit up, waved her hand, and shouted to the front: "Gu Cheng, here!"

Ren Zhangtao looked over following her gaze, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The man who appeared was handsome to an excessive degree, on par with him. ===== CHAPTER 205 =====
