The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 510 - 509 - Observation (3)
Chapter 510 -509: Observation (3)
“Initially, I had you look at archives, read books and watch movies. That’s one form of observation—immersing yourself directly into their lives and observing from a close distance is another. Of course, observation alone isn’t enough. There are things you need to do yourself, and you also have to learn to do them. For example, yesterday you went to fetch water and operate the stone mill. You felt the sensation of exerting force, right? That’s the experience you need. Once you’ve observed and participated, when the camera captures you, it’s not acting anymore; it’s muscle memory. Acting relies on intuition, but it also requires using your brain.”
Under Morning Star’s spell casting, an infinite aura of fire accumulated around Su Yu.
The [Vermilion Bird Divine Shield] quickly coalesced, completely enveloping Su Yu in a 5-meter diameter, airtight sphere of flaming red. From a distance, he looked like a miniature sun, of course a thousand times brighter at the least.
Suddenly, the top of the tallest building in Treyna City— “Treyna Skyscraper,” revealed an enormous golden eye.
Buzz—
Almost instantly, the skyscraper’s colossal eye released a green disintegration ray that rushed towards Su Yu, allowing him barely any time to react.
Morning Star was all too familiar with this ray.
The last time they left Skru Star, it was her who sacrificed herself to block this disintegration ray, allowing Su Yu to return safely to Blue Star.
But now was different from the past.
They were now more than ten times stronger than the last time they took action! With their present defenses, they could easily withstand this ray.
That’s why she didn’t block for Su Yu this time and allowed the ray to hit him.
Boom!
Crrrrack!
The disintegration ray successfully hit Su Yu.
However, the beam failed to break through Morning Star’s [Vermilion Bird Divine Shield], dispersing completely in the air without even breaking through the outermost layer of the defense.
Morning Star, feeling the futility of the disintegration ray, didn’t relax; she heightened her vigilance instead.
Because at this moment, Sidim’s psychic force covered them completely, and Su Yu, his soul, had still not returned to his body yet.
“Su Yu?!” Sidim was shocked to sense Su Yu’s presence as he was rushing towards the library.
How could that be?
Wasn’t Su Yu supposed to be dead, killed by Victoria with the [Sun Mark]?
He’s not dead?
However, the pressing situation left him little time to ponder the reason. Su Yu had always been Skru’s number one enemy, he had to eliminate him as soon as possible!
Thinking this, Sidim transformed into a streak of green light, zooming towards the library with the fastest speed he could muster.
20, 19, 18…
It would take him at most 20 seconds to reach his destination.
Watching the rapidly approaching Sidim, a desperation to survive surged within Morning Star.
She drank the [Master Level Speed Potion] that Su Yu had given her, doubling her flight speed almost instantaneously and flew towards Sidim.
“Heh! You’re looking for death!” Sidim, seeing Morning Star fly towards him, bellowed angrily.
He waved a single hand, releasing the 6th-rank instant-cast psychic spell [Arcane Surge] towards Morning Star.
Despite being an instant-cast psychic spell, its power was by no means inferior to Morning Star’s full strike!
Therefore, without a second thought, Morning Star swung to the side to evade.

But Sidim was determined to kill her as quickly as possible.
As soon as he released one instant-cast psychic spell, he unleashed another.
In a short second, he released 16 instant-cast psychic spells in succession!
The continuous onslaught of instant-cast psychic spells practically sealed off all of Morning Star’s evasive maneuvers.
Though her flight speed had significantly increased, she was unable to avoid being hit three or four times.
Her protective magic shield was instantly shattered, and her body was injured by the residual force of the instant-cast psychic spells, blood flowing freely from her wounds.
However, Sidim had no sympathy, he launched another 16 instant-cast psychic spells, each one aimed at Morning Star’s vital parts, determined to kill with a single hit!
But at that very moment, he was suddenly startled.
Because Su Yu, who had been standing still on the ground like a wooden puppet, suddenly moved!
Su Yu’s body regained its mobility, his eyes went from dull to alert, it was obvious, he had broken free from the control of the soul-binding formation!
He didn’t have time to deal with Morning Star now, he had to kill Su Yu!
Sidim didn’t think further, and swiveled mid-air, charging directly towards Su Yu. A high-power psychic spell was brewing in his palm, aiming to kill Su Yu with a single hit!
It would take Sidim about three seconds to cast his charge-up spell.
However, when he was two seconds into his spell-casting, he suddenly heard a clear, pleasant meow from behind him.
“Meow!”(Beware the sword!)
Sidim’s spell was instantly interrupted.
Moreover, he didn’t understand why, but his body completely froze and lost its psychic propulsion, leaving him to continue moving forward with only inertia.
Of course, the one responsible for Sidim’s current state was Morning Star.
The 16 instant-cast psychic spells hadn’t killed her outright.
Although she was hit squarely by 8 psychic spells, the high magic resistance of [Vermilion Bird Form], the instant magic shield, combined with the healing of [Panda’s Sacred Spring], she was lucky to have survived.
If there was a game panel right now, her health would only be around a remaining “15%”, hovering dangerously close to death.
But being “close to death” and “being dead” were different things.
On the verge of passing out from the severe injuries, she used the weapon Su Yu gave her—[The Best Sword in the Village].
Upon using it, the effect was extraordinary.
Morning Star swooshed the blade downwards, successfully controlling Sidim and putting him in a state of [Stupor]. His long-prepared high-power psychic spell was completely interrupted.
If this psychic spell had hit Su Yu, he would have been undoubtedly dead, with the probability of death being above ninety percent.
Now that the psychic spell was interrupted, he could be said to have walked the edge of the ghost gate.
“You say you’re a method actor; then, you have to become that person—not just in your mind, but your whole being, from clothing and accessories to behavior and movements. Everything must closely align with that person’s life. When audiences see you, they should feel that you are the living character from the movie, entirely natural, without any sense of disconnect.”
Xia Siyu felt like she’d had an epiphany.
The films she’d acted in before were all pure ‘girly’ films, the modern urban Cinderella Mary Sue types. In those films, as long as she appeared fresh and cute, capable of crying, laughing, and making a fuss, without being too artificial, she generally did well. The only one with some difficulty was in “Storm.” But even then, she played a bar owner who could dance, which was still related to her life, and with Wang Ju’s guidance, it was easy to immerse herself.
Acting-wise, she was decent enough, handling romance dramas without issue, but depth was a challenge. She had always felt as if she’d hit a ceiling, eager to work hard yet unsure of the direction. But Bo Yan, with his blend of theory and practice, had guided her to shatter that ceiling, and she felt as if she’d ascended to another level.
The difference between an ordinary actor and a leading actress lies in these details.
The college classes she had skipped were now being revisited with Bo Yan’s help. But she was different from the student who slept during lectures. If left to her own devices, it might have taken her three, five, or even more years to learn these things. However, Bo Yan’s assistance allowed her to instantly grasp some of the subjects she’d missed.
Indeed, some actors never attended college, yet they had high natural talent and self-motivation, quickly transitioning from box office poison to genius actors. But how many actors like that existed?
Most don’t have talent or the willingness to work hard, deluding themselves into thinking that they could get by on their looks alone.
Yet Xia Siyu still had her doubts, “Then why did you come here with me alone? You didn’t even bring Jingjing or Little Tang.”
Bo Yan smiled, “Because I wanted to spend time alone with you.”
