That was, even though Du Yunxiu was pacing back and forth, the whole picture screen did not look too stiff. It even gave the scenery a sense of space.
But from beginning to end, Du Yunxiu had never made a mistake — never stepped out of the way of the camera.
It was as if … It wasn't the camera coordinating with him.
He was the one controlling the entire scene, the entire rhythm! Such a standard could only be achieved by a veteran of hundreds of battles!
Suddenly, Du Yunxiu stopped.
The air was like a string that was suddenly stretched taut. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, as if they had realized that the main event was about to begin.
Du Yunxiu slightly narrowed his eyes.
The lines of those eyes were clear and smooth, so thick that it would move one's heart. However, when he squinted slightly, it was filled with a thoughtful wisdom and sharpness.
His eyes were steady and calm.
Du Yunxiu didn't say anything, but everyone present understood. He thought of an idea – how to save the female lead!
Such a gaze only lasted for a split-second, but Du Yunxiu's expression was meticulous and accurate.
No one could ignore this gaze that was about to change everything.
Unlike theatrical performances, TV series and movies have the advantage of camera and postproduction.
The use of long and slow lenses has the power to conquer time and space.
Sometimes, it would move far away while all living things gathered together, forming an epic scroll. Sometimes, it would move closer and carefully capture the facial expressions of the people; one could even clearly see the moving shadows of their eyelashes.
Under camera, actors should not use too much force or too much force in their emotional performances.
If the 10% effect was required on the screen, the actors would only be able to use 70 to 80% of it. The remaining 20 to 30% was left to the cameraman skills to supplement.
However, Du Yunxiu did not use this kind of negative creative deduction.
He used his own unique method to make an artistic process of revealing the true emotions of life. Expand the intensity of this feeling to make it more accurate, vivid and rich.
Therefore, he frowned slightly, or the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Or maybe it was an extremely calm and wise look.
He didn't need the lens to move forward, but everyone's eyes were already focused on his every inch of the performance.
Perhaps those who had seen the script before would imagine an abstract image of the second male lead in their minds.
But now, Du Yunxiu's series of detailed and subtle changes to his facial expression, along with his complex and subtle emotions, had profoundly and clearly displayed this character's inner world to everyone present. He had completely replaces the image that was previously in their minds, establishing a more realistic and vivid character!
It was as if he were that character, and that character was tailor-made for him.
If the screenwriter had seen Du Yunxiu's audition, he would have used these two words to summarize it!
However... The performance was not over yet.
According to the script, Du Yunxiu should imitate the county magistrate's handwriting to have the female lead released.
How would the average person act?
He picked up the brush and began to write. Between his eyebrows, there was a calmness like that of a strategist.
Du Yunxiu also acted in these scenes.
But it's not just that.
He picked up a piece of cooked, smooth, snow-white paper and pressed it with the paperweight.
Next, he dipped the purple brush into the Dragon Mark Ink and drew back the tip of the brush along the edge of the ink stone.
Only then did he begin to ponder.
However, before he started, Du Yunxiu did something that exceeded everyone's expectations, but it was absolutely reasonable as well.
He put the purple brush in front of his eyes and squinted his eyes.
Then, he stretched out his hand and drew out a beautiful half-arc with his thumb and forefinger — pulling out the brush tip, which had an uneven line!
Before you write.
At this point, even the tiniest strand of spider-like hair would be patiently pulled out and smoothed.
This kind of thing was something that only scholars who were familiar with the classics and were accustomed to writing would pay attention to!
Everyone was startled at first, but soon they came to a realization.
"So that's how it is!"
"Indeed, this is how they should act!"
"How did he think of that!?"
One after another, they began to express their insights.
Such a detail seemed small. However, if one thought about it carefully, they would have an incomparable admiration for Du Yunxiu.
Because in the script, Du Yunxiu was a gentleman, a wise and clear Grand Master.
One could imagine that a person with such a chest full of ravines must be extremely knowledgeable and knowledgeable to be able to see through people.
Even if they didn't care as much about calligraphy and ink as the nobles of the imperial palace, the small habits of a few scholars were absolutely necessary.
Leaving aside, then, the image of the stylist.
In other ways, how to embody the behavior of characters in such context?
Du Yunxiu had used a paperweight, an ink dip, a stylus, and a brush point to perfectly show the temperament of a scholar.
The main points of the performance were the five senses and six senses, which were as follows:
Observation, imagination, sensibility, comprehension, adaptability;
And, sense of proportion, sense of humor, belief, rhythm, image, reality.
If one were to carefully savor the taste of Du Yunxiu's audition this time.
Without a doubt, Du Yunxiu was able to fully display all of these elements in the short span of a few minutes! And it was extremely vivid!
To Du Yunxiu, this audition was just one of many.
However, in the eyes of the director and others who had been filming portraits for a long time, it had already reached an extreme level of brilliance, leaving them with an extremely deep impression!
However, in the end, Du Yunxiu did not obtain this role.
This role was eventually assigned to Vincent.
