Chapter 81

At this moment, among the onlookers, almost everyone drew a sharp breath. One person was able to express two different emotions through their expression and eyes, a realm that was not easily attainable by ordinary people.

Perhaps only those at the level of film emperors and empresses could achieve this. Therefore, everyone involuntarily turned their gaze to the three film emperors and empresses present.

At this moment, Siqin Gao Wa, Chen Bao Guo, and Liu Pei Qi were lost in deep thought. This level of skill was not unattainable for them, but even for them, it was not easy to reach.

Jiang Wen Li, who had returned after reapplying makeup, had heard about Zhang Yimou's arrival and was not surprised when she came over.

However, upon hearing Zhang Yimou's words, she blurted out involuntarily, "This requirement is a bit difficult for a newcomer."

Zhang Yimou glanced at Jiang Wen Li and said, "It is a bit difficult, but no matter what, if you want to meet Director Guo's requirements, you have to achieve this. The second point I want to mention is actually about Ye Ming, and it is closely related to the first point. Ye Ming, I'm talking about your acting. Your acting is very good among the young people, which shows that Director Guo's eye for talent is still sharp."

These words naturally flattered Guo Bao Chang. Of course, Zhang Yimou himself, Chen Kaige, and other big directors had all been promoted by Guo Bao Chang, so his eye for talent was beyond question.

Guo Bao Chang chuckled and said, "Don't flatter this old man. You all need to work hard, or I won't be able to help. As for the second point, Ye Ming's acting, although quite good, still has a gap compared to Chen Bao Guo's. This gap is precisely what makes this scene imperfect."

Zhang Yimou nodded very affirmatively and said, "That's right. The momentum of a film emperor when fully unleashed is not easy to match. Ye Ming, as a newcomer, has done quite well, not being led by Chen Bao Guo, which is already quite good. Director Guo, shall I give Ye Ming some guidance?"

Even though Zhang Yimou was an internationally renowned director, in this production, Guo Bao Chang was the biggest authority, the director of the production. Therefore, even Zhang Yimou could not overstep his bounds and give Ye Ming guidance without seeking Guo Bao Chang's opinion. This was a rule in the industry.

However, this caused a stir in the production. Zhang Yimou personally giving guidance was a tremendous honor. How many actors in the country could meet the Master, let alone receive his face-to-face guidance?

Ye Ming's luck was so good that it was almost enviable.

Almost all the actors looked at Ye Ming with envious eyes, even the four big stars like Chen Bao Guo found it hard to believe that Ye Ming had such luck.

Guo Bao Chang said calmly, "Being able to receive your guidance is his good fortune."

Ye Ming immediately came to his senses and said, "Thank you, Director Guo. Thank you, Director Zhang."

This was necessary. Thanking Director Zhang was because he was going to give him guidance, and as the Master, he would not do so lightly. Thanking Director Guo was because Zhang Yimou was giving him guidance due to Guo Bao Chang's face.

Without Guo Bao Chang's face, Zhang Yimou might not even have given Ye Ming a second glance. An actor of Ye Ming's caliber was not yet in Zhang Yimou's line of sight.

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "I am just taking the opportunity to give you some guidance. How much you can understand depends on your own insight. Ye Ming, remember, as an actor, to express two different emotions through your expression and eyes, the first and most important point is to forget yourself, to completely immerse yourself in the role. When you achieve this, you must forget yourself and remember that you are the character in the play, you are Bai Jingye, and Bai Jingye is you. Only by doing this can you meet my requirements. Also, your sense of the camera is still present. When you can forget the camera in front of you but still naturally integrate into the scene, you will have made it."

Many actors who heard this were a bit dazed. Without reaching a certain level of acting, they would not understand.

At this moment, Ye Ming, upon hearing these words, fell into deep thought.

Guo Bao Chang gave everyone a gesture. Ye Ming was in a state of sudden enlightenment. Whether he could understand anything depended on his own destiny.

Ding, Ye Ming felt as if he had been enlightened, and his mind suddenly became clear.

The system prompt: [Host Ye Ming has received guidance from an internationally renowned director, acting reward, 60. Host Ye Ming's acting exceeds 600, unlocking the use restriction of the Film Emperor Crown.]

[Host: Ye Ming. Age 19, Acting 619, Singing 388, Popularity 430, Martial Power 400, Insight: Two stars. Functions: Artist Training, Prop Store. Inventory: Stamina Potion, Body Double Puppet, Film Emperor Crown.]

It turned out that receiving guidance from a big director had such benefits. Ye Ming's acting reached over 600, and he felt a sudden clarity.

Moreover, he could now use the Film Emperor Crown, which was like a timely rain for him.

At this moment, seeing the expectant look in Guo Bao Chang's eyes, Ye Ming decisively chose to use the [Film Emperor Crown] on the system page.

The system prompt: [Host Ye Ming is using the Film Emperor Crown, usage time limit: one hour.]

This made Ye Ming feel relieved. An item like the [Film Emperor Crown] being usable for one hour was already very good.

At this moment, Ye Ming regained his confidence and said with determination, "Director Guo, I want to try again."

Guo Bao Chang's eyes immediately lit up. Among the actors he had encountered, there were generally two types of people: one type was defeated by difficulties, and such actors generally had limited achievements. Being able to mix in the second or third tier was already a very good result.

But there was another type of actor, those who became stronger with each setback. They had never been defeated by difficulties, which were merely whetstones on their path forward.

Clearly, from Ye Ming's current state, he was of the type who became stronger with each setback.

At this moment, Guo Bao Chang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, good. With this determination, you will surely shine one day."

All departments were ready, and after the clapperboard, the camera immediately focused on the indoor scene.

At this moment, even Zhang Yimou, who was sitting next to the monitor, sat up straight. He could sense the change in Ye Ming, a powerful confidence that emanated from the depths of his soul.

This confidence was like that of someone who had just won the Best Actor award at the Oscars, a confidence that could rival Chen Bao Guo, and even subtly surpass him.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou said thoughtfully, "Director Guo, this young man is interesting. The change is tremendous, almost like a different person. Where did you find such talent?"

Guo Bao Chang glanced at Zhang Yimou and said, "How about it, are you moved? To be honest, you wouldn't believe it, but this is a newcomer recommended by Yonghua Film. Not only has he participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and the Spring Festival Gala, but his insight is also quite good."

At this moment, in the room, Chen Bao Guo also became alert when facing Ye Ming.

If his previous performances were considered average, then at this moment, Ye Ming suddenly stood up from the bed, barefoot, and exuded a powerful aura, like a sharp sword that had been honed to perfection.

This was a feeling of meeting a worthy opponent.

Chen Bao Guo was shocked. This was truly a prodigy. To have such a performance and reach such a level of enlightenment, no other young actor he had seen could achieve this.

At this moment, although Chen Bao Guo was surprised, he controlled his expression well. He truly regarded Ye Ming as an opponent on his level.

At this moment, all of Chen Bao Guo's artistic cells were activated. An opponent not on his level could not possibly arouse such great interest in him.

The confrontation between the two film emperors made the entire room sparkle like fireworks, with a single glance creating countless sparks.

This was a bit tough for Tang Youqiong, the young actress. The full collision between two film emperors was not something she could handle.

Fortunately, at this moment, Chen Bao Guo seemed to realize this and said coldly, "Get out."

At this moment, Tang Youqiong felt as if she had been granted a reprieve and quickly left. It was only after she walked out of the room that she realized she was drenched in cold sweat, her entire back wet.

The intense pressure she had just experienced was something she had never felt before. Even now, recalling that pressure, she still felt a lingering fear.

At this moment, Guo Bao Chang, watching the confrontation between the two, slapped his thigh and said, "Good, this is the performance I wanted. Ye Ming is a good kid. A single enlightenment can bring him to this level, and his future is boundless. I have never seen a young man with such potential."

This was Guo Bao Chang's true recognition of Ye Ming. For an actor, being willing to work hard is one aspect, but there are many actors who are willing to work hard, and few of them succeed.

An actor who is willing to work hard and has insight has the potential to succeed.

Fortunately, the current Ye Ming possessed both of these qualities.
