Of all the actresses who had just auditioned, Shen Anlingzi's acting was definitely not the best. There were others who could act better than her, but one thing they lacked was emotion.
Performing skills of an actor can be divided into two categories: the demonstrative and the experiential.
Demonstrative acting focuses on using language, body language, and facial expressions to portray a character, while experiential acting involves immersing oneself in the character's emotions and essentially becoming the character.
Shen Anlingzi, who had just performed, was undoubtedly an experiential actress. Her acting might not be as good as others', but her emotions were spot on. That final look in her eyes gave life to Yuan Jin's character.
Director Chen An felt that no one could be more suitable for the role of Yuan Jin than this woman named Shen Anlingzi.
A resonance of emotions between an actor and a character is something truly rare and precious.
