Xu Yanyu suddenly realized that this guy was coming to ask for advice.
Duan Nianzhuang, who desperately wanted to become famous, looked at Xu Yanyu with great anticipation.
Just as Xu Yanyu was about to speak, Chang Xuan approached them.
"Yan Yu, I have a question I'd like to ask you!"
Chang Xuan cut to the chase and told Xu Yanyu his purpose.
"How did you manage to make that expression that Director Wei mentioned earlier?"
Zhang Ying, who was not far away, noticed what was happening and paused in her drinking.
Her assistant followed her gaze and saw Xu Yanyu surrounded by the male lead and the male supporting character.
The assistant couldn't help but complain, "Being pretty is such an advantage; she gets surrounded by people wherever she goes. Yingying, don't be angry, we..."
"Don't say anything, I'll go take a look." Zhang Ying turned around, rolled her eyes at her assistant, grabbed a drink, and walked towards Xu Yanyu.
She seemed to have overheard Chang Xuan asking Xu Yanyu about her acting skills.
No, she wants to learn too.
Faced with the two people's longing gazes, Xu Yanyu couldn't help but swallow.
Just as she was about to speak after organizing her thoughts, another voice rang out.
"Yan Yu, did you not drink milk tea during your weight loss period?"
I have a cup of unsweetened lemon tea here; I had it ordered for you. You can drink it without worry.
Zhang Ying, holding the drink in her hand, smiled and looked at Xu Yanyu.
Xu Yanyu blinked, then felt flattered.
She took the drink from Zhang Ying and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Ying."
Zhang Ying leaned against the table next to her and smiled at everyone, "What are you all talking about? Continue! Am I disturbing you?"
"No, no! It was Nian Zhuang who asked me about the acting skills that Director Wei just mentioned." Xu Yanyu waved her hands repeatedly.
"Oh dear, to be honest, I didn't understand what Director Wei was saying either. Let me hear it too."
Zhang Ying naturally stayed.
Since that's the case, Xu Yanyu could only recall the knowledge about acting in her mind.
"Actually, the key to this expression is the muscle movement. For an expression to be natural, the muscles must be flexible."
Therefore, you can't have too much surgery or too many injections of high-tech products on your face. This is a genetic predisposition.
Duan Nianzhuang, who was standing next to him, nodded repeatedly. He had also just noticed that it was necessary to rely on the tension between muscles.
Zhang Ying, standing to the side, touched her jawline. She had always felt that her chin was a bit square, while audiences nowadays preferred a more pointed chin.
So I've been thinking about whether or not to make any changes to this place.
Now, after hearing Xu Yanyu's words, she temporarily gave up the idea.
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Xu Yanyu remembered the acting skills book from the system.
She gestured with her hands while demonstrating to the crowd, sometimes with a crooked mouth and wide eyes.
She talked at length about everything from actors' facial expression training to the psychological changes of characters.
The image of the Living Buddha Ji Gong, played by Grandpa You Benchang, flashed through her mind, his face half smiling and half sad.
That watch is amazing!
Although Director Wei didn't want such a strong expression, Xu Yanyu felt that if Duan Nianzhuang used a similar expression in the final scene, it would definitely become a hit.
With that in mind, she demonstrated it to Duan Nianzhuang.
To be honest, her actions once again overturned everyone's perception of her acting skills.
Looking at her face, one half was filled with sorrow as if it were the end of the world, while the other half was filled with relief and joy.
Duan Nianzhuang couldn't hold back any longer, "Is that an expression really something a human could make?"
"Go ahead and practice." Xu Yanyu casually picked up the lemon tea Zhang Ying had given her and sipped it.
Then I couldn't help but shiver. Lemon tea without sugar is so sour!
She turned to look at Zhang Ying and saw Zhang Ying secretly practicing making faces.
Hey, everyone seems pretty eager to learn.
The weather was hot. Xu Yanyu slurped down most of her lemon tea, and Duan Nianzhuang felt that his supernatural skill had been perfected.
He walked up to Xu Yanyu and said without any hesitation, "Yanyu, can you take a look... is this right?"
Duan Nianzhuang grinned, then reached out and rubbed his cheek, before grinning and squinting.
"Pfft... Hahaha..." Xu Yanyu turned her head to the side and spat out a big mouthful of lemon tea.
"Hahaha... Nianzhuang... you'll lose followers if you post pictures of yourself looking like this online."
Chang Xuan also slapped his thigh and laughed.
Zhang Ying, who was standing next to her, turned her head away and chuckled to herself.
Duan Nianzhuang looked at the group with a wronged expression and said defiantly, "Tell me whether it's deep affection or not, whether it's joy or not?"
"Your expression is too grotesque. I'm pretty sure Liu Jing would want to run away if she saw you like this," Xu Yanyu replied earnestly, turning her head away.
Duan Nianzhuang was heartbroken.
Xu Yanyu comforted her, saying, "You have to exercise your facial muscles too; it's not something you can do all at once."
Xu Yanyu felt even more dejected after she finished speaking about Duan Nianzhuang.
Xu Yanyu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we can also cheat by using lighting effects. With the contrast of light and shadow, the same face can actually express different emotions."
But if we do it this way, it depends on Director Wei's abilities.
Duan Nianzhuang immediately became excited, "How can we use light and shadow to convey emotions?"
Xu Yanyu scratched her head. She didn't really know what she should do. The system mentioned that the way to convey emotions was through light and shadow.
Just then, Director Wei finished checking the footage from the previous shoot and started walking towards them.
"Use side lighting or side-backlighting to create a three-dimensional effect and make the facial contours more defined."
At the same time, by adjusting the position and angle of the light source, different light and shadow effects with varying contrasts can be created on the same face.
