Songyue's life on set is very fulfilling every day.

Moreover, she also has Song Jinwen as a teacher who can guide her on her questions about acting.

With the help of teacher Song Jinwen, Song Yue successfully broke into the circle of veteran actors.

Moreover, seeing how smart Songyue is and how quickly she grasps acting skills, many people would like to become a teacher.

Songyue, of course, accepted everything offered and absorbed knowledge about acting like a madman.

She absorbs and summarizes knowledge simultaneously. She doesn't need to absorb everything, because not all knowledge is suitable for her. She needs to summarize the path that best suits her.

So she only needed to focus on acting on set, which made her very happy.

As the willow trees began to sprout new buds, everyone took off their cotton-padded coats and realized that spring had arrived.

Songyue is becoming more and more skilled at acting, and she is gradually becoming more adept at handling emotions, which is also making filming faster and faster.

However, as the filming progressed smoothly, Songyue has been frowning these past few days.

After filming her scenes that day, Songyue went to see Director Hu.

"Director, why do I feel like something's not right?"

Director Hu glanced at the footage from the previous take and said, "No problem. The emotions and movements are fine."

Songyue fell into deep thought, trying to figure out how to describe her current state. Even though her performance was very smooth, there was still an awkward feeling about it.

"I can't describe that feeling..."

Director Hu wasn't angry; he just waited quietly for Songyue to speak.

Songyue thought about it carefully again, closing her eyes and imagining that feeling.

"It's as if I'm just a puppet on a string, and everything I say and do is according to your plan."

I don't know if this is right, but I just feel uncomfortable, like it shouldn't be like this.

A smile slowly crept into Director Hu's eyes, but he countered with a question.

"Isn't this a good thing? Things are going smoothly and in an orderly manner."

Songyue frowned and shook her head.

“I always feel that although a character is created by people, she should be vivid, not rigid and unchanging.”

Director Hu's smile grew wider and wider.

Qu Hui, who was just about to come over to check on the filming, was so excited when she heard Song Yue say that that she almost went up to grab her.

When Songyue said these words, she knew that Songyue's thoughts coincided with hers, and she felt a joy of finding a kindred spirit.

But Director Hu shook his head at her, telling her not to disturb her thinking.

Qu Hui could only stand aside and quietly watch Song Yue ponder.

Songyue was also thinking about this matter. She couldn't help but think of an interview she had seen with actress Min Hua, and what she had said at the time.

She said the script simply stated the three words, "She smiled."

If you just give a simple smile, it won't leave any impression on the audience at all, because the audience won't buy into some 'general' actions.

Moreover, this simple information is simply insufficient to create a fully developed character.

Then we need actors to fill in the gaps, we need you to add flesh and blood to this character.

"Therefore, the script simply cannot depict the complete character, nor can it fully express the character's thoughts and feelings, so the actor needs to fill in the gaps."

Thinking of all this, Songyue couldn't help but say it aloud.

Director Hu snapped his fingers, indicating that at this stage, he was needed to guide the discussion.

"So how actors supplement and deepen a character requires a very important guide—imagination!"

Songyue stared intently at Director Hu.

"If an actor lacks imagination, the director needs to supplement his imagination during filming and guide him on what kind of scene it should be."

This would certainly make filming much easier, but everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

Actors can easily become pawns in a game.

That is, as Matsue said, becoming a marionette.

Songyue thought for a moment.

"Then how do you develop imagination?"

Director Hu smiled slightly.

"These kinds of things can be trained, but there are also innate factors, which is why some people say that they have a kind of spirituality when they are filming."

In his view, Matsumatsuki belonged to the latter category.

If she didn't have spirituality, she wouldn't have realized this.

Actually, he was also surprised when Songyue said it. Could it be that he had a keen eye and picked out a good prospect?

So he couldn't help but feel glad that he hadn't guided Songyue's acting at the beginning, but had instead followed her feelings, otherwise it would have stifled her imagination.

"Some people understand this very thing instantly, while others never do in their entire lives."

In today's environment, let alone figuring things out on their own, some actors practically expect directors to think everything out for them.

In addition, given the current distorted environment for actors, everyone is restless and anxious, so who would think about these things?

"You can imagine yourself as a tree, a blade of grass, or even a drop of water, and experience the world from their perspective. What do they see and smell? Why do they do it? What are the consequences of doing so?"

"I'll give you three days. Use these three days to think things through. We'll film the rest of your scenes after that."

Regardless of the assistant director's gaze, Director Hu still made this decision.

For some reason, this little girl always gives him unexpected surprises.

Will it be the same this time? He's really looking forward to it.

As directors, their constant pursuit is to create a film that will be remembered in film history.

But they would also be very excited to witness, or even nurture, an outstanding actor.

He saw this quality in Matsumatsuki.

Since that's the case, let him be a talent scout for us.

After thanking Director Hu, Songyue walked to the side, sat on a stool, and looked at a willow tree in the distance.

She closed her eyes and thought, if she were this willow tree, what would she see? She would see the film crew shooting a movie, her 'companions' around her stretching their branches, flocks of birds flying overhead, and groundwater flowing underground.

No, how can 'it' only see the outside, but also the inside?

She saw the roots struggling to absorb water, the growth rings inside, and the sieve tubes that transport organic matter.

Under the sunlight, a breeze blew by, warm and comfortable.

Just then, she suddenly felt two small insects on her body.

It immediately became nervous. How could it deal with the insects on its body? Otherwise, it would be eaten by the insects, leading to more insects and eventually its death.

A sense of urgency rose within it; it had to find a way to get rid of the insects.

But what should 'it' do?

It wanted to run, but couldn't move its body at all. It tried to shake its body to shake the insect off, but the wind around it wasn't strong enough.

Suddenly, it realized that its body could secrete a substance that could repel insects.

But in the end, it failed because the insects were not driven away.

It can only try to strengthen its defenses and thicken its bark, so it constantly absorbs nutrients from the surrounding environment to enhance itself.

However, as long as the insect exists, water dripping on stone will eventually wear it down completely.

So it can't relax yet. Suddenly it thought that it could find the insect's natural enemy.

It began to secrete another substance to attract birds, and eventually some birds were attracted to it and ate the two worms clean.

At this moment, it could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and its leaves even unfurled in joy.
