Huayu: What the heck is it that the actor gave me CS skills?

Inside the meeting room.

Li Jun and the others watched.

Li Guangjie, holding the script, slowly walked towards Yu Su.

Along the way, Li Guangjie kept his head down, trying to get into the right mood and get into the right state of mind.

After all, the character Dou Shixiao he portrays is a very complex one.

In the early stages, villains who were like hawks made up a large part of the cast.

This role is very complex, and even he needs time to get into character.

He felt that Yu Su might have been in the zone longer than him, and might even need him to get him into the zone.

So I didn't pay any attention to Yu Su at all.

But Chen Shu noticed it.

She saw Li Guangjie walk over, stop, and look down, pondering something.

The moment his footsteps disappeared.

Yu Su put away the script, looked up, and his whole demeanor began to become strange.

If the original Yu Su was polite but with a touch of cynicism.

At that moment, Yu Su made Chen Shu feel cold from the bottom of his heart.

For actors, perception is both a gift and a source of pain.

Talented actors can perceive more and be more sensitive to things than ordinary people, but once they perceive something negative.

The pain it brings is also greater than that of ordinary people!

Chen Shu was quite talented, so he could see the indifference in Yu Su's eyes—an indifference towards all life except himself.

He straightened his posture, raised his chin slightly, and stared at Li Guangjie with his eyebrows lowered.

The script in his hand was like a military knife, ready to stab at any moment.

The person Chen Shu felt was like a ghostly executioner from a horror movie set in Japan!

Chen Shudan's phoenix eyes lit up, and she turned her body toward the two of them to observe them intently.

"..."

When Li Guangjie looked up, he was startled!

The extra he looked down on stared straight at him, his eyes showing no trace of the polite smile Yu Su had given him just moments before.

Li Guangjie realized that this kid had already gotten into character, and was even faster than him!

He took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

Yu Su knew he was ready. He glanced at Li Guangjie and stared at Li Jun and the others, speaking coldly.

"From this moment forward!"

"The Peace Hotel is under complete lockdown. No one is allowed to enter or leave. All telephone and telegram communications are to be cut off!"

The film is set in the lobby of the Peace Hotel, and Yu Su felt that the character of Ishihara did not need to keep an eye on Lao Dou.

So they immediately began searching for enemies in the void!

Dou Shixiao nodded immediately, lowered his head to show respect, and stared at the ground in response.

"clear."

"However, the hotel is home to many foreign diplomats and guests, and a hasty and comprehensive search could easily trigger a diplomatic incident."

As soon as Dou Shixiao said those words, Ishihara's eyes turned cold, and his sharp gaze fell on Dou Shixiao's face.

He stared at him intently, trying to figure out what he meant.

But Dou Shixiao kept his head down, making it impossible to see what was hidden in his eyes.

Yu Su felt that Dou Shixiao's lines here were a bit off.

In the script, Lao Dou is the superior, but the military's orders are all conveyed by Shi Yuan.

Moreover, this is a time of war!

Dou Shixiao's mistake is not something that can be resolved with a few words of criticism from his superiors.

If he says the wrong thing, he could be directly suspected or even disemboweled!

But he still spoke.

Yu Su felt there were several possibilities.

First, he wanted to exonerate himself, since he would be the one to take responsibility if anything went wrong.

Secondly, his words could be a reminder to Ishihara not to escalate the situation, but if it was to help someone out of trouble, that would also be understandable.

Yu Su naturally knew it was the second one, after all, he knew that Li Guangjie's character was both righteous and evil.

However, Ishihara couldn't make a judgment; he could only scrutinize Dou Shixiao with a suspicious look for several seconds.

Only then did he speak in a deep voice, with a warning tone.

"Chief Dou."

"The film reels containing imperial secrets are more important than any diplomatic face-saving!"

"I want you to capture them alive at all costs!"

"Remember, at all costs!"

The original line was, "Chief Inspector Dou, the Empire's most wanted criminal is hiding inside. We must capture him alive at all costs."

Yu Su felt that the line was a bit awkward and not specific enough to capture the emotions at that moment.

In addition, Yu Su believed that this not only issued a military order, but also served as a warning to Dou Shixiao.

So he repeated it again in the end.

Based on the characters in the drama, he felt that Dou Shixiao was capable of understanding the underlying meaning.

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Guangjie's lowered head, but his years of experience allowed him to adjust in time and respond accordingly.

"yes!"

The performance ended there, and Chen Shu immediately gave them a round of applause.

Her gaze fell on Yu Su's face, who had already broken character, and she exclaimed, "Little Yu acted really well."

Chen Shu was a skilled actor, so he naturally admired those who honed their acting abilities.

The previous replays had already refreshed her understanding of Yu Su, and now seeing Yu Su in person was even more impressive.

Chen Shu even had a vague feeling that he was holding his own against Li Guangjie in their scenes together.

Although Li Guangjie is not widely known to the public, he is more famous for his roles than for himself.

But his acting skills are better than many famous actors!

Both are graduates of the Central Academy of Drama. The other person had been honing their acting skills at the National Theatre of China, and their debut role was alongside veteran actors.

It is currently in a period of settling down and developing its own unique style.

For Yu Su, a twenty-year-old, not being at a disadvantage is already quite an achievement!

Yu Su smiled shyly and said modestly, "Brother Jie is the real expert. I've learned a lot from him."

In fact, Yu Su didn't learn anything. After all, as long as he studied the character well, he could just use his emergency stop skill to the maximum and get into the zone.

The positioning is about 80%, which is enough for him to pinpoint the emotions that basically match the character.

In this situation, many of his performances are actually quite natural.

Other actors also need to control their bodies and facial expressions, conveying emotions through their eyes and movements.

Yu Su doesn't need to.

As long as he anticipates the right emotions and pulls himself in with a sudden stop, his 80% success rate in positioning allows him to naturally become the character.

What does this feeling resemble...?

It's as if Yu Su's body has been reshaped by AI, and he can even proudly say it when his stats are maxed out.

He was born to act!

Hearing this, Li Guangjie assumed that Yu Su really thought so, and patted him on the shoulder.

"You...are very good."

Li Guangjie appears cold and stern, but after leaving school, he performs in plays at the Grand Theater, and is actually quite reserved.

I don't dislike Yu Su at all; on the contrary, like Chen Shu, I admire young people who are dedicated to honing their acting skills.

Yu Su smiled modestly and turned his gaze to the director.

He skipped over Wu Gang and Pan Chen, his gaze falling on the unfamiliar middle-aged man.

The person sitting in the middle is clearly of higher status.

The man hesitated for a moment and then said, "Xiao Yu, why don't you go out first? Let's discuss this."

Yu Su frowned, but said nothing, and obediently pushed open the door and left.

After Yu Su left, Li Jun rubbed his temples and sighed.

When the two actors, Chen Shu and another actor, saw the director discussing something, they sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off and followed him out.

Li Jun glanced at it, then looked away, picking up Yu Su's resume with some hesitation.

Pan Chen found it strange and couldn't help but ask, "Director, is something wrong?"

Pan Chen thought Yu Su's performance was alright; he could tell she was a promising talent.

Li Jun's attitude, however, puzzled him.

Upon hearing this, Li Jun pulled out another resume and threw it on the table.

"Xiao Yu's acting was good, but how does it compare to his?"

Pan Chen picked it up, glanced at it quickly, and understood.

Xing Wenjie has focused on espionage for twenty years.

Although he didn't graduate from a professional acting school, he has made a living for half his life thanks to this special role.

On paper, this one is naturally more competitive.

Pan Chen fell silent and looked at Wu Gang.

Wu Gang hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Yu Su has already done enough to get this far; there's little point in him speaking up again.

"Alright, you guys can go out now, I'll think about it some more."

Li Jun hesitated for a moment, then waved for the guest to leave.

The two exchanged a glance, then pushed open the door and left.

Li Jun's real concern wasn't his acting skills, but rather the character's portrayal.

The script Yu Su took only contained the background and lines, but not a specific age.

However, the script in Li Jun's hands describes Ishihara as a middle-aged man, around forty years old.

Yu Su is twenty years old.

Her acting skills are good enough, but her age is not right.

If we follow the normal line of thinking, Xing Wenjie, who is actually a professional spy, would be more suitable.

But that was according to the normal line of thinking.

The Peace Hotel is not a traditional war drama at all; it aims to take a different approach.

Because both escape room settings and script-based murder mystery games tend to appeal to a younger audience.

Li Jun had originally planned to cast Xing Wenjie, but after watching Yu Su's performance, he suddenly hesitated.

Because he suddenly realized that Ishihara, at such an advanced age, was just a military police captain.

That doesn't really make sense, does it?

Because in Japan, seniority is the system, and the older one is and the longer one has served in the military, the higher one's rank.

That forty-year-old soldier being merely a military police captain is a bit hard to believe.

Moreover, judging from Xing Wenjie's resume and photo, she looks rather mature for her age.

Li Jun suddenly seemed to favor Yu Su.

Yu Su is young, but his acting just now was flawless.

Although he's not quite up to the task of being a military police captain at his age, he can still put on makeup, right?

Adding a few years to the appearance with makeup will make it more in line with the character's image.

Li Jun pondered, and a direction had already formed in his mind.
