This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

In the lens.

Guihai Yidao slowly opened his eyes.

The pain still lingered on his face, and his whole body felt limp, as if he were seriously ill.

His injuries and poisoning haven't healed yet; he's still very weak.

In order to save Haitang, he absorbed the vital energy of the Heavenly Gang Child Skill and later fought against the Five Poisons Sect, which left him severely injured.

Yi Dao, upon waking, was weak.

But the swordsman's instincts made him nervous; years of experience made Yi Dao's first thought to go find his sword.

Until he saw Shangguan Haitang next to him.

The tense muscles finally relaxed, and he no longer looked like a helpless little animal that had just woken up.

This is the feeling of security when you see your loved one.

At this moment, Shangguan Haitang was still asleep on the table, clearly having taken care of Yidao all night.

Guihai Yidao wanted to reach out and touch it, but in the end he withdrew his hand.

Trembling...

Inferiority.

Dejected.

Finally, I turned back and put it down.

"Oh...you've got pretty good micro-expression control."

Wang Jing and Deng Cheng, both in front of the camera, were somewhat surprised.

At least in terms of facial expression control, subtle movements, and eye contact.

It perfectly portrays the image of someone who loves but cannot have, and dares not have...

He didn't speak or recite any lines.

But the look in his eyes and the muscles on his face spoke volumes.

In expression.

Jiang Yue watched with some tension, her heart pounding wildly.

Is Guihai Yidao in form? He's in much better form than before.

When Shangguan Haitang woke up, she looked at Yidao beside her with his eyes open and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yidao, you're awake?"

"Ah... um."

She tries to appear indifferent, but can't completely hide her feelings; she's somewhat dull and unresponsive.

"We've made it through the night, so everything should be alright now." Shangguan Haitang couldn't hide her joy; her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.

"Thank you... for taking care of Yidao."

"You've saved me time and time again, so it's only right that I take care of you."

But when he met Guihai Yidao's gaze...

Ye Xuan'er's heart trembled.

"One Cut" did not hide his emotions.

Those peach blossom eyes seemed to speak volumes.

A gentle stream, like a clear spring, carries a tender, unripe love.

Shangguan Haitang turned her head away, her eyes flickering slightly, trying to block...

No, it doesn't seem like it; it's acting.

"She got into character."

Jiang Yue suddenly felt tense, afraid of missing this scene of intense acting.

His eyes were full of emotion!

Neither Ye Xuan'er nor Jiang Yue could have imagined it.

In just one day, it went from imitation leather to painted bone.

It's easy to paint the skin, but difficult to paint the bones.

The actor perfectly conveyed the complex emotions of three parts love, six parts disappointment, and one part inner turmoil...

The look in their eyes when they love but cannot have the love they desire is so heartbreaking.

That indifference towards other people and things only fuels curiosity about what kind of past Yidao has...

Man, with just one look, you successfully piqued my curiosity.

This is Jiang Yue's perspective, a perspective from which she puts herself in the audience's shoes and makes them think.

"One cut... Begonia, Begonia really doesn't deserve it, you've been so good to me."

At this moment, Shangguan Haitang still harbored feelings for Duan Tianya.

She was both afraid and resistant to Guihai Yidao's feelings.

"I understand what you mean, I understand..."

Then he fell to the ground with a single cut.

"You should rest first."

Shangguan Haitang dared not look into Guihai Yidao's eyes.

She was afraid...

Ye Xuan'er was scared...

Being afraid of losing something.

At this moment, the camera focuses on Gui Haiyi's face, his eyes conveying a powerful emotion.

He was thinking.

He was filled with hatred.

I hate how weak I am.

Despite bearing such a deep-seated blood feud, he was unable to extricate himself from the personal feelings of love between men and women.

Guilt, contradiction, love, hate.

Why give someone like Yidao feelings?

Why make Yidao carry so much burden in order to feel love?

Changes in facial expressions convey emotions.

Any more and it would seem pretentious.

Even a fraction less would be insufficient.

Only when it's just right can it seem real, and not like a castle in the air.

Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Yue felt a pang of heartache... her hands trembled...

Gui Haiyi is such a good kid, why does Shangguan Haitang have to like that scumbag Duan Tianya?

After messing with the older sister and killing her whole family, he's going to mess with her younger sister too!

Watch how well I can cut him...

Well, it's not just Jiang Yue who thinks this way.

Shangguan Haitang thought so too.

As I left the cabin, I wiped away my tears.

He's so good at cutting me...

He silently loved the girl he grew up with in his own way.

Reserved, and self-conscious.

Fragile...love.

Ye Xuan'er was still unable to get out of her emotions after leaving, and the crew members behind her handed her tissues.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit."

Ye Xuan'er knew she needed to be quiet.

The camera was still on Li Qing's face.

The play should have ended here, followed by Gui Haiyi's flashback, which was a clever move.

Flashbacks are used to explain the character's emotional changes.

But Jiang Yue hadn't called a halt yet.

The purpose of flashbacks is to show Guihai Yidao's emotional changes, and Li Qing clearly expresses these changes through his facial expressions.

Screw those nostalgia trips.

Play!

He added scenes completely out of his own volition!

But when this monologue became excessively long...

"Click!"

It wasn't until Jiang Yue called a halt that Li Qing's one-woman show finally came to an end.

The silent monologue that followed perfectly illustrated what it means to use micro-expressions instead of words.

What does it mean to truly become the character?

Those around him remained silent for a long time. Even Deng Cheng, after watching the camera, pondered, "With his acting experience, is he really only good at playing supporting roles?"

Wang Jing, on the other hand, is much more humorous.

"Damn, did Guihai Yidao time travel to play Guihai Yidao?"

As a screenwriter, as a director.

He found it all somewhat unbelievable.

The character was given a soul.

He is Guihai Yidao.

"His performance was indeed very impressive."

Jiang Yue felt nothing but admiration.

That long take was a monologue expressing emotions.

She truly admired him.

"I don't know where Zhang Dahuzi found this talent; he's only ever played supporting roles." Wang Jing lit a cigarette and said with a weathered air, "This is a true actor."

Yes.

Li Qing is a true actress.

This is Wang Jing's evaluation, Jiang Yue's evaluation, and Deng Cheng's evaluation.
