"When I act, I often feel like I'm analyzing every state too finely, and those moments of sudden inspiration are getting rarer and rarer," she said. "It's like when there's a change in expression, or a burst of emotion, which I think is really important for a scene."
Xu Jinbo: "In television dramas, it's actually hard to convey such moments unless shot with movie lens close-ups; otherwise, the screens are small, and it's difficult for audiences to notice. The biggest difference between watching in a theater versus a screen is that a theater is a closed space that forces you to keep all your attention on the visuals in front of you. But watching TV is different; you're not in a closed space, and your attention isn't fully focused on it. Often, those GIFs shared online, deemed iconic scenes, are more about the surface-level explosive moments than the subtle emotional transfers seen in movies."
