I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 110, more scenes, more scenes!

Right now, on set.

There is no such person as Li Yun anymore.

At least in the crew of "The World's Number One".

Almost everyone has forgotten about it.

The person here is none other than Cao Zhengchun, the powerful eunuch who held immense influence in the court.

Is it hard to get into character?

Then just avoid acting out the scene.

"Are all immersive actors like this?" Huo Jianhua looked at Li Yun with a hint of existential doubt.

"I've seen actors who are immersed in their roles before, but I've never seen one so exaggeratedly immersed," Guo Jinan murmured. "His mental state is also quite exaggerated."

Even Guo Jinan himself can be considered a semi-immersive actor, but he later found that immersive acting could narrow his range of roles, so he switched to method acting.

It is precisely because I know the characteristics of immersive actors that I understand.

It's not easy to immerse yourself in a role.

To be so immersed in something, how exaggerated is that?

It's no longer Li Yun.

It was Cao Zhengchun.

Eunuch Cao.

"I feel a little afraid of him." Ye Xuan'er swallowed softly. The oppressive aura and disdainful feeling of that superior made her, 'Shangguan Haitang,' feel extremely pressured.

She was clearly the top fighter in the Dragon Guard Manor, but she felt completely suppressed.

It's like being a subordinate, suppressed by a superior. Well, that's not wrong in terms of the relationship, but this feeling is too real.

At least Zhu, the godfather, had the status of a "godfather".

But Cao Zhengchun did not

He was hostile to Zhu Wushi and his subordinates.

He faithfully fulfilled the responsibilities the emperor had given him.

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun said calmly.

"Gentlemen, is there perhaps something strange on my face?"

"It's nothing."

At this moment, Ye Xuan'er swallowed hard.

I was truly shocked by the sense of immersion and conviction they conveyed.

feel

I feel like I've been spending too much time with him.

Even I... am a little confused.

Is this the real world, or a martial arts world? Am I still myself?

Only then did Ye Xuan'er suddenly realize.

That's not right.

I actually think Cao Zhengchun's behavior is normal; I'm the abnormal one.

No, I am Ye Xuan'er, not Shangguan Haitang.

I played Shangguan Haitang.

Cao Zhengchun, yes.

Was it played by Cao Zhengchun?

At this moment, Li Yun also felt a sense of wonder.

The concept of "I" is no longer Li Yun.

It was Cao Zhengchun.

He entered the palace as a child, and for a hot steamed bun, he became neither man nor woman, something despised by everyone in the world—a eunuch.

I lost what it means to be a man, and I lost all the dignity and possessions of being a man.

My male.

Um.

At this moment, Li Yun could not feel his own thing (for the time being!!!). When he could not feel it at all, he could have infinite empathy with the eunuch.

But at the same time.

Li Yun also clearly felt that his empathy with "Cao Zhengchun" and his feelings were more in line with each other.

I paid such a price just to have a full meal. Everything I did was to survive. I lost what I should have had. In this deep palace, I diligently cultivated my skills to become a member of the imperial court and a subject.

Even if this deep palace turned me into something neither male nor female.

It doesn't matter.

I looked at myself.

With a broken body like mine, what can I possibly have left to burn with passion within? I have no ability or inclination to pursue grand ambitions, so what should I be pursuing?

I practiced martial arts, I studied poetry and prose, the Four Books and Five Classics, yet I remained a lowly eunuch. In this palace, those civil officials who studied the Four Books and Five Classics looked down at me from their high positions. I didn't care; it wasn't something we eunuchs needed to care about.

When I feel an endless emptiness.

one day.

The Eastern Depot found me.

They told me that people like us can also have our own desires and find what we are pursuing.

That day I experienced it, I found it.

The desire for power.

It turns out that this is something that people like us can also pursue.

It turns out that we are incomplete people.

To be able to wield power over the world like those high-ranking civil officials.

Despite paying such a price.

But I can do it.

At least I found the feeling of being alive again.

Neither male nor female, I can only live on this thought.

The desire for power.

At this time, the filming process was going smoothly, and the filming was divided into three parts: Cheng Shifei's story of a simple-minded boy's comeback, Duan Tianya's story of learning martial arts in Japan, and Gui Haiyi's story of revenge.

Despite operating on three parallel tracks, the filming process was quite fast.

Deng Yancheng was in charge of Cheng Shifei's line of work, as well as the main line, including the lines of Iron-Blooded Marquis and Cao Zhengchun. All of these were personally handled by Deng Yancheng.

Wang Jing hasn't been as busy lately, and he's been here discussing the script with Deng Yancheng, so filming has been going relatively smoothly.

At this moment, Liu Songren, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, completely let loose and showed no intention of restraining himself.

"Our Comrade Liu Songren is really suited for this kind of role." Wang Jing watched quietly from the side, but couldn't help but admire him. Liu Songren, who was giving his all, was truly a force to be reckoned with.

You can see that too.

Liu Songren's acting urges kicked in.

In fact, Liu Songren never expected that he would arouse the acting passion of a young man in his twenties.

I really didn't expect that.

Seeing that something was wrong with Li Yun, he looked at Cao Zhengchun in front of him.

He also felt a strange sense of identification with Cao Zhengchun. Just looking at him made him feel as if he had entered into this world himself.

This strong sense of immersion allowed Liu Songren to adjust his emotions well, and whether he was acting restrained or unrestrained, he could always find a suitable angle.

At least it was the angle that Liu Songren thought was appropriate.

It's such a strange feeling, this physical transformation into the character, this complete immersion in the worldview.

Even Deng Yancheng and the others could see that Liu Songren was more immersed in the role.

Who brought this? It goes without saying.

The actor with the most immersive performance.

That Cao Zhengchun.

"Immersive actors have a narrow range of roles, but they excel at playing a single type of character," Deng Yancheng murmured.

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun's scenes had not yet been filmed, but he was reading the Four Books and Five Classics and appreciating poetry and prose, looking like an elegant scholar.

It turns out that when Eunuch Cao wasn't involved in court intrigues, he was quite a refined gentleman.

He's quite an ambitious person.

Yes, born into humble circumstances, how could he not work hard if he wanted to climb step by step to the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty?

But it makes one feel that this attitude is perfectly natural.

He is not a character.

It is a person, a living person, a person living in the real world, a person with flesh and blood.

Yes, that is Cao Zhengchun.

He is Cao Dugong.

"Damn, I feel like I'm going crazy too." At this moment, Deng Yancheng patted his head, feeling that something was wrong with him.

He got the actors so into character that he couldn't let himself go crazy.

"I didn't expect you to give me such a pleasant surprise." Wang Jing clicked his tongue. What he never expected was that Li Yun went crazy on his own, and then half of the crew went crazy with him.

His unparalleled immersion draws others along with him.

"By the way, are all immersive actors like this? You must have seen quite a few, right?" Deng Yancheng looked at Wang Jing at this moment. In terms of TV dramas, there aren't that many immersive actors. After all, it can easily lead to a narrow range of roles and hinder career development.

Moreover, the entry barrier is quite high; this thing really depends on talent.

Those with good talent can immerse themselves in the role, while those without can't, leading to different outcomes. Generally speaking, for this type of actor, being too talented is also a mistake.

"I've seen quite a few. Generally speaking, the more talented someone is, the more deeply they immerse themselves in the role, and they can even influence those around them, drawing others into the story as well." Wang Jing paused and said, "However, Mr. Li is probably the only one with such a peculiar mental state."

They even used polite words like "wonderful" to describe it.

Actually, Wang Jing can be serious too.

They were so engrossed in their madness.

There was only Li Yun.

The last time I encountered an actor in a similar mental state was a long time ago; they even had a conflict over it.

Ah, I've remembered it again.

Those bygone days.

At this moment, Wang Jing paused and then spoke.

"I have also met an actor whose mental state is somewhat better than Mr. Li's."

"Who?" Deng Yancheng asked curiously.

"Stephen Chow".

The filming process for "The World's Number One" was originally going quite smoothly.

An accident occurred while filming Duan Tianya's scenes.

Duan Tianya twisted his ankle; the snow at the filming location was slippery, and he slipped.

To put it bluntly, Huo Jianhua and Guo Jinan were quite impressed.

Filming couldn't be delayed, but Duan Tianya sprained his ankle, causing a setback. In the end, they had to use other actors' scenes to fill in for his part.

Therefore, "Guihai Yidao" and "Cheng Shifei" probably accepted Duan Tianya's role.

"What bad luck! Why did I have to slip?" Li Yapeng felt incredibly frustrated. His own scenes were cut for free so someone else could get screen time, and he couldn't even complain about it.

I can only feel depressed by myself. There's nothing I can do. There's really nothing I can do.

At this moment.

The other two male leads were trying their best to get Li Yapeng's scenes onto themselves, but according to the crew, most of the scenes would probably go to Cheng Shifei.

From all perspectives, Cheng Shifei's performance is the best, which is the principle that the strong always prevail, and it makes the most sense to enhance Cheng Shifei's performance.

However, it's not unreasonable to give Huo Jianhua the title. He has the most female fans. As a young actor who debuted in Taiwanese idol dramas, his looks are so stunning that even men would be captivated by him. He was at the peak of his handsomeness.

and so.

The next day, Wang Jing announced adjustments to the scenes that had been added.

After unanimous discussion among the directing team, it was finally decided to allocate the extra screen time.

To Cao Zhengchun.
