As the plot deepened, Chen Guang's heart gradually became distorted, and Ruan Jingtian's performance also underwent subtle and subtle changes. His eyes began to become sharper, the corners of his mouth often inadvertently showed a cold smile, and the aura of the whole person also became fierce.
The shift is so natural that the audience barely feels like they're "acting."

Ruan Jingtian's performance in "Disciple" reminds people of the "heavy makeup" phenomenon that is prevalent in the current film and television industry. Many male stars, regardless of age, like to wear heavy makeup on the screen, which seems to attract the attention of the audience.
This phenomenon reflects a common problem: many actors and producers seem to believe that only through heavy makeup can they create the perfect image on screen.
For example, Stephen Chow, who is famous for his funny image, often wears heavy makeup and wigs in his later works to hide the traces of time. In his films, we can often see him in this outfit, which contrasts with his early natural image.
Although Stephen Chow's performance is still excellent, this overly heavy makeup makes people feel a little regretful.
For example, Huang Xiaoming's appearance with heavy makeup in "Langya Bang" once caused controversy among the audience. His makeup was criticized by the audience as "not like an actor, more like playing cosplay". Excessive beauty and heavy makeup do not increase the charm of the character, but instead make the audience feel a sense of distance and affect the identification with the character.
Although Chen Kun's heavy makeup in the "Painted Skin" series is in line with the character setting, it is excessive. This kind of makeup may be to create a specific character image, but it also reflects the film and television industry's dependence on heavy makeup.
William Chan is also a case in point. The makeup in many of his works is very delicate and flawless, but sometimes going too far for perfection can affect the realism and believability of the characters.
In the current film and television industry, the phenomenon of "heavy makeup and glamorous" is widespread, reflecting the excessive pursuit and attention to appearance in the circle. Over-reliance on makeup can not only affect the authenticity of the performance, but also create a sense of distance in the audience.
However, Ruan Jingtian's natural performance in "Disciple" undoubtedly brought a resounding slap in the face to this phenomenon, and he proved with practical actions that true acting skills and charm do not need to be disguised or strengthened by heavy makeup.
