A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases
Chapter 40 A Demeanor That's Hard to Portray!
"Okay, okay, okay!!!"
Zeng Qingjie said "good" three times in a row!
Whether someone has acting skills or not doesn't matter anymore!
Gu Yun's appearance was even better than he had imagined. With that face and that demeanor, he looked exactly like the Crown Prince!
A certain kind of charisma is actually very difficult to act out!
Some people are born with a special kind of temperament!
The most typical example is Chen Daoming, a veteran actor who played the Eighth Prince in "Young Justice Bao" when he was forty years old.
The scene of stepping out of the sedan chair after the curtain was lifted, exuding an aura of imperial nobility, remains unforgettable for many!
At the time, he gave people the feeling that he wasn't acting; he was completely the Eighth Prince himself!
Later, when "Young Justice Bao" was remade, the director cast another person to play the Eighth Prince, but the actor's temperament and image were so bad that he was heavily criticized.
Nobody cares about his acting skills.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yunrui's eyes. Gu Yun's face was too outstanding, and his temperament was too remarkable!
His look took the stylist one or two hours to complete. His white hair flowed freely, giving him a hazy, mysterious feel and significantly enhancing his appearance.
But Gu Yun, dressed in a crimson python robe with his hair neatly tied up, with only two stray strands falling across his forehead, overshadowed him!
"Okay, let me explain this scene."
Zeng Qingjie called Gu Yun and Li Yunrui over and began explaining the scene using the script.
This scene depicts Song Mo, played by Li Yunrui, who, in order to clear his uncle Ding Guogong's name, colludes with Prince Qing and leads troops into the capital.
They stormed into the Crown Prince's residence and captured him alive.
Song Mo invites Crown Prince Zhu Yousheng to watch the last play of his life.
On stage, actors perform; off stage, Zhu Yousheng and Song Mo converse. One wants to avenge his uncle and the soldiers who died unjustly, but he has chosen the wrong enemy.
One was a prince who remained unmoved even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, and who would rather die than submit.
"Do you understand now?"
After Zeng Qingjie finished explaining the play, he looked at the two people beside him.
"Understood." Li Yunrui had no problem with it; after all, he had studied acting professionally.
"Understood."
Gu Yun was also fine; he hadn't studied acting, but he got a perfect score on reading comprehension.
"Alright, all departments, get ready. One take, one shot, action!"
Zeng Qingjie shouted "Action!" and the actors took their positions!
First, the camera focuses on the actors performing on stage, their foreheads still damp with cold sweat. The stage itself is relatively clean, but the area offstage is a complete mess.
Corpses lying on the ground, houses burning.
Finally, the camera zooms out again, and Gu Yun enters the frame!
Gu Yun, who plays Zhu Yousheng, sits in a chair with his hands on the armrests. He does not flinch despite the knife at his neck, as if he is really listening to a play.
When the performers on stage sang, "At this level, what's the point of being an official?", the camera cut to Gu Yun's full-body shot.

Gu Yun merely glanced up, and his aura of imperial nobility was immediately apparent!
"Yes! This is exactly the feeling I want! This is the look in your eyes!"
Zeng Qingjie exclaimed excitedly, "Quick, don't stop, keep going!"
Logically, we should stop here and wait for Li Yunrui to appear on camera before filming the next segment.
However, Zeng Qingjie was afraid that Gu Yun's carefully cultivated demeanor would be ruined, so he decisively asked the actor to cooperate.
Although Li Yunrui didn't understand why the director suddenly changed the instructions, he still went on set.
He placed his hands on Gu Yun's shoulders, leaned forward to get closer, and his cloak partially obscured his face:
"I think this is the limit of my loyalty, Your Highness. What do you think?"
Li Yunrui deliberately lowered his voice, trying to make it more intimidating and magnetic, but you could tell it was deliberate and a bit too forceful.
Zeng Qingjie frowned slightly. Normally, he thought Li Yunrui's performance was alright.
But Gu Yun's look just now elevated this scene. Li Yunrui's forced, menacing tone made him seem like a child showing off in front of an adult.
Gu Yun did not answer Li Yunrui's question immediately, even though Li Yunrui's knife was held to his neck.
After the actors on stage finished singing this part, Gu Yun closed his eyes, seemingly savoring the performance.
"You have no respect for your sovereign and father, and you have helped Prince Qing to plot a rebellion and usurp the
After a moment, having finished savoring that scene, Gu Yun opened his eyes, gazed at the corpses of the dead soldiers not far away, and slowly said:
"So all this was for... to exonerate your Dingguo Army, and you even pinned the blame on me and Father Emperor."
"Great! Keep acting! Cut the camera to Song Mo!"
Zeng Qingjie swung his fist forcefully. Gu Yun's acting skills were actually average, but with his temperament, it seemed that this was the reaction the crown prince should have!
Standing behind the director's monitor, Meng Ziyi smiled, but still spoke harshly: "He, didn't he say he hadn't studied acting? What a liar!"

"If a ruler suspects his ministers, he will execute them. Do you think I have wronged you?"
The camera cuts to "Song Mo," revealing his face.
The purpose of showing various side shots at the beginning was to create an air of mystery about the male lead and build anticipation, before finally revealing his face and stunning everyone.
But now, Gu Yun's face has already captured the audience's attention, raising their expectations too high!
Now that Li Yunrui's face, covered in thick foundation and lipstick, was revealed, it actually looked worse.
Gu Yun's Zhu Yousheng has battle-damaged makeup on his face, without foundation or lipstick, yet his masculine charm is off the charts!
When the main character appeared, she looked like a woman, and suddenly it felt like the prince was the more like the male lead.
"Tsk~" Zeng Qingjie scratched his head, somewhat dissatisfied, but ultimately did not interrupt the recording.
"Hahaha, Song Mo, I pity you. You've taken revenge on the wrong person."
After hearing what Song Mo said, Gu Yun already knew that the other person was even more pitiful than himself.
It's laughable that his own guards and the people of the capital would die because of a baseless misunderstanding.
Gu Yun's eyes reddened slightly; he felt sorry for all the innocent people who had died.
"I lost, Song Mo."
After a long while, Gu Yun stood up, leaning on his chair, with a sense of having made a decision he could not back down from. He glanced at Song Mo one last time and said, "But you will also suffer a crushing defeat."
After saying this, Gu Yun took a few steps forward and drew a sword from the scabbard of a soldier next to him, then committed suicide!
Upon seeing this, the actors on stage knelt down and kowtowed.
Song Mo tried to stop him, but in the end he only managed to tear off a piece of cloth from Gu Yun's sleeve.
"I would rather die than comply with the traitor's wishes!"
Gu Yun clutched his neck, uttered his last words, and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Snow fell from the sky, covering the prince's body.
"Yes! Yes!"
Zeng Qingjie was extremely satisfied!
Although Gu Yun's delivery of lines wasn't quite there, and his acting wasn't yet masterful, his charisma made this segment truly outstanding!
The camera finally focuses on "Song Mo," who reaches out to catch snow, ending this segment.
"Card!!!"
Zeng Qingjie shouted, "Great! Xiao Gu, you acted so well in this scene!"
"Thank you, director."
Gu Yun was pulled up from the ground by Meng Ziyi. He patted his bottom and asked in confusion, "Why does this artificial snow smell so strange?"
Some of the artificial snow that fell earlier drifted into Gu Yun's mouth.
Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes at Gu Yun: "Poisonous! I'll poison you to death!"
On the other side, Li Yunrui was also waiting for the director's comments, but in the end, all he got was a complicated "sigh".
