Entertainment News: This Best Actor's acting range is so narrow it's enviable.

"you?"

Yan Jing sized up Jiang Feng and shook his head.

"You're quite good-looking, but we're looking for action actors. Do you know martial arts?"

Jiang Feng quickly replied, "I know Tai Chi, Tai Chi sword, and Baguazhang."

"Really?" Yan Jing asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Director Yan, I wouldn't dare lie to you. You can try me if you don't believe me."

Jiang Feng didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Sometimes, seizing just one opportunity can change your life.

Seeing that he spoke sincerely, Yan Jing said:

"Then come with me. If you dare to lie to me, you won't even be able to work as an extra. Don't blame me for not giving your teacher any face."

He had no other choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

Soon, Jiang Feng followed Yan Jing to Li Wenyan's house.

"Director Li, I've found an actor who wants to try out for the role of Lingjiu. I don't know if he'll be suitable."

Yan Jing told Li Wenyan what was going on, and Chongjiang Feng gave him a wink.

Jiang Feng quickly introduced himself:

"Director Li, my name is Jiang Feng. I am a student in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy. I am currently working as an extra in our film crew. I heard that you are looking for someone to play Lingjiu. I would like to give it a try."

"Extras?"

Li Wenyan's face darkened, and he said to Yan Jing in an annoyed tone:

"I think you've lost your mind, bringing all sorts of people to me. What skills can a college student have? I need action actors."

Yan Jing quickly said, "Director Li, he said he knows martial arts."

"Yes, Director Li, I know Tai Chi, Tai Chi sword, and Baguazhang."

Jiang Feng looked at Li Wenyan with neither arrogance nor servility.

Li Wenyan was somewhat surprised, but he didn't have much hope.

Even if a college student has learned some martial arts, it's just fancy footwork, and he certainly can't compare to Yang Junyi, a Wuying-level athlete.

But he still decided to let Jiang Feng give it a try.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself."

Jiang Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute, assumed a fighting stance, and performed a set of Chen-style Tai Chi.

Every move he made was skillful and his movements were fluid and graceful, making it seem very realistic.

Li Wenyan and Yan Jingdu's eyes lit up.

They thought Jiang Feng was just joking, but they didn't expect his movements to be so professional, just like Yang Junyi's.

Although he is not as skilled as Yang Junyi, he has reached about 60-70% of Yang Junyi's level.

Jiang Feng's Chen-style Tai Chi was learned from Yang Junyi, so of course it's similar to his.

After finishing a set of Tai Chi, Li Wenyan's attitude softened considerably, and his tone became much gentler.

"Not bad, not bad. You just said you also know Baguazhang and Taiji sword, why don't you show us?"

Jiang Feng then performed another set of Baguazhang, which he had learned from Zhang Jin and possessed about 60-70% of his own skill.

Li Wenyan became more and more satisfied as he looked at the book, and by the end, a smile had appeared on his face.

He asked a staff member to bring over a prop sword and handed it to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng stood tall and elegant, holding a sword in his right hand, making a sword incantation with his left hand, and raising his left foot, assuming a stance of standing on one leg like a golden rooster.

The forty-two forms of Tai Chi sword were performed one by one, each move so pleasing to the eye and highly entertaining.

Hand, eye, mind, technique, and footwork—every key point was grasped very accurately.

Jiang Feng's movements were light and graceful, his figure elegant and beautiful, perfectly capturing both form and spirit.

Li Wenyan and Yan Jing stared wide-eyed.

After finishing a set of Tai Chi sword exercises, Jiang Feng made a gesture of completion and bowed slightly to Li Wenyan.

"Director, I've finished practicing. How does it look?"

Li Wenyan seemed to wake from a dream, clapping and laughing loudly:

"Good, very good!"

He then said to Yan Jing, "We have such talent in our crew, and I didn't even know it. How could you let him be an extra? Isn't that a waste of his talent?"

Yan Jing expressed his innocence, saying, "He never told me he knew martial arts!"

Just when Jiang Feng thought he was about to win the role of Lingjiu, Li Wenyan suddenly realized a problem.

"How old are you?"

"20," Jiang Feng answered truthfully.

"You're only 20 years old?"

"Oh, you're asking about age? I thought... no, I'm also 20."

"What do you mean 'also 20'? Who asked you anything else?"

Li Wenyan's expression turned serious again.

According to the script, Lingjiu is Xueying's older brother, and Zhang Jin, who plays Xueying, is 26 years old this year.

Jiang Feng is only 20 years old and looks much younger than Zhang Jin. He doesn't look like his older brother at all.

Jiang Feng felt uneasy. It would be such a shame to be rejected because of his age.

Yan Jing had a sudden inspiration and said:

"Director Li, why don't we just switch Jiang Feng and Zhang Jin's roles?"

"You mean Jiang Feng will play Xueying, and Zhang Jin will play Lingjiu?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Wenyan finally made up his mind.

"This idea works. Let's talk to Zhang Jin about it later and see if he's willing."

Then he asked Jiang Feng, "How's your acting?"

Jiang Feng said confidently, "I'm a student in the acting program at Beijing Film Academy, so my acting skills are definitely up to par. If you're not comfortable with that, you can let me try out a scene first."

He felt that his acting skills were definitely better than those of Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin, who were both self-taught actors.

Li Wenyan had someone bring over Xue Ying's script, flipped through it, pointed to a page, and said:

"It's this scene, the one with the most screen time for Xueying. It really tests his acting skills. If this scene goes well, then everything else will be fine."

Jiang Feng took the script and glanced at it, his feelings a mix of emotions.

This scene depicts Lingjiu and Lianchengjin rescuing the seriously injured Xueying, but Xueying takes advantage of her brother Lingjiu's trip to the city to buy medicine for her to defile her sister-in-law Lianchengjin.

He never expected that Xueying would be such a twisted character.

He was puzzled when he first discovered Zhang Jin's perverted traits, but now it all makes sense.

Zhang Jin put in a lot of effort to play the role of Xueying well, to the point that he developed abnormal traits.

If he had a choice, Jiang Feng would still prefer to play Lingjiu, as the character is more likable, but he had no other choice.

"Director, I've finished watching it."

Even if he's a pervert, Jiang Feng still decided to challenge himself.

Li Wenyan asked, "Do you need to find someone to act with you?"

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and nodded.

His acting skills aren't good enough to perform without props.

Just then, Zhu Yin happened to need to see Li Wenyan.

When Li Wenyan saw her, he smiled and said:

"Zhu Yin, you've come at the right time. This is the actor who will replace Yang Junyi. We're auditioning, can you help him with a scene?"

Zhu Yin never expected that she would be drafted into the army at the last minute.

She was initially somewhat reluctant, but seeing how handsome Jiang Feng was, she reluctantly agreed.

After reading the script, she realized that she was going to be playing that kind of role, and she felt a little regretful.

However, as an actor, one should have basic professional ethics and not go back on one's word.

"Sister Zhu Yin, please forgive me if I accidentally offend you later."

Jiang Feng gave Zhu Yin a heads-up beforehand.

After all, it's that kind of scene, and there's bound to be physical contact. If you accidentally touch the wrong place and Zhu Yin misunderstands, that would be bad.

Zhu Yin is a big star; she can decide Jiang Feng's fate with just a word.

Fortunately, Zhu Yin had a good impression of Jiang Feng and smiled politely:

"It's okay, just go ahead and act."
