When depicting the scene of Alex guarding the frontier and in exile, he mostly uses desolate and cold light and shadow, and the lens mostly uses long-range and close-up shots, focusing on his perseverance and forbearance, as well as the loneliness in a desperate situation, creating a tragic and oppressive atmosphere; When shooting the scene of Northam Palace, gorgeous and cold light and shadow are mostly used, and the lens mostly uses overhead shots and panning, focusing on the golden splendor and cold alienation of the palace, highlighting the intrigue and indifference within the royal family, as well as Winona's isolation in it.

Acting & Characters: The characters are three-dimensional and vivid, and the acting skills are strong

1. Alex Tudor (male protagonist): High merit and forbearance, strategic and moderate, stick to your heart

Alex is one of the core characters in the whole play, and the actor perfectly interprets the complete arc of his "great military exploits - being trapped in forbearance - surviving in a desperate situation - seeking revenge and hatred", interpreting the bravery of the military general and the forbearance and strategy of the prince to the core. When he played the second prince guarding the frontier in the early stage, he had sharp eyes, upright demeanor, and exuded the tough aura of a soldier all over his body. When he was framed by his family and forced into exile, his eyes became forbearant and cold, his demeanor was calm and cautious, and he hid the humiliation, hatred and unwillingness in his heart under his eyes, portraying it with a very layered sense of layering, without deliberately sensationalizing, but allowing the audience to instantly empathize with his situation.

After forming an alliance with Winona, his acting skills became more and more calm and tense: in the face of Winona's temptation, he was calm and calm; when helping Winona suppress her uncle's power, his strategy and bravery; his firmness and determination when investigating the truth and fighting against the pursuit; In the face of the temptation of power, his sobriety and true heart, every emotional change, is naturally presented by the actor. He was not carried away by hatred, nor was he coerced by power, and always adhered to his bottom line, not only with the blood and courage of a military general, but also with the strategy and forbearance of a politician.

VinoNa is the most cutting-edge character in the whole play, and the actor accurately controls her characteristics of "gentle on the surface, tenacity on the inside, intelligent and courageous, and has a ruler for power", perfectly integrating the elegance of the princess with the calmness and strategy of the strategist, breaking the weak image of the traditional princess. In the early stage, when she played the princess caught in infighting, she was gentle and decent on the surface, and her demeanor was elegant, but there was an imperceptible vigilance and firmness hidden in her eyes. When she rescued Alex and proposed an alliance, her calmness and decisiveness, and the firmness and consideration in her eyes showed maturity and strategy beyond her years.

In the later part of the plot, Winona's edge becomes more and more revealed: during the court game, she is calm and sharp, and with her extraordinary resourcefulness, she dismantles her uncle's conspiracy and wins the support of the courtiers; In the face of crisis, she remained calm in the face of danger, strategized, and cooperated tacitly with Alex to break the situation together; After holding the throne, she was calm and sober, not carried away by power, always remembered her original intention and promise of alliance, and conveyed the characteristics of "power desire and clear grievances" to the hearts of the people. The actor uses delicate eye changes and body language to naturally present every transformation of Winona, which not only shows her elegance and gentleness, but also conveys her courage and strategy, forming a perfect complement with Alex.

3. Winona's uncle (villain): ambitious, vicious and cunning, and his intrigue will eventually come to nothing

Winona's uncle is a key villain who drives the plot conflict and highlights the strong characteristics of the protagonist, and the actor accurately portrays his "ambitious-cruel and cunning-hypocritical and selfish" traits, perfectly presenting the greed and cruelty of the strategist. In the early stage, he was gentle and kind on the surface, loyal to the king, and caring for Winona, perfectly disguising the image of a wise uncle, but his eyes hid imperceptible greed and ambition, making it difficult to detect his conspiracy; When he was secretly laid out, his eyes were gloomy, his demeanor was secretive, and every step of planning was full of calculation and ruthlessness, interpreting the cruel and cunning characteristics very well.

In the later stages of the plot, the conspiracy is gradually revealed, and his acting skills are very explosive: in the face of Winona and Alex's counterattack, his panic and quibbles, the anger and unwillingness in his eyes; when he made a desperate gamble and launched a palace change, his madness and ruthlessness vividly showed the despair and madness of careerists; When the conspiracy was completely exposed and he was in a desperate situation, his remorse and unwillingness conveyed the sadness of "scheming all his life, ambitious, but in the end he had nothing". Every time he calculates and counterattacks, he is promoting the development of the plot, and it is also contrasting the intelligence, courage and perseverance of Winona and Alex, further strengthening the tension of the series.
