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

Chapter 126, The Brilliant Night-Blooming Flower

"This young Li is quite interesting. I'd like him to play my Fire Cloud Evil God."

In fact, Stephen Chow shared his thoughts with his assistant in his own studio.

"Didn't we want to have Yang Xiaolong, a veteran actor from Hong Kong, come?" At this moment, Stephen Chow's assistant was also a little surprised, after all, Yang Xiaolong is also considered a veteran actor from Hong Kong.

He also knows Stephen Chow.

The original plan was to have him play the main villain, Fire Cloud Evil God.

He certainly nailed the role.

If it weren't for meeting Li Yun.

"Brother Xiaolong is missing something, something unique to Li Yun."

"Is there something missing, Senior Yang Xiaolong?" the assistant couldn't help but ask.

"He's not as eccentric as Mr. Li."

"So, I agree?"

"Since Stephen Chow has extended such an invitation, how could I possibly refuse?"

"No, it just feels so surreal." Jiang Chenggang was still in a daze, and he patted his head, realizing that all of this was real.

Unexpectedly, he auditioned for a movie starring Jackie Chan, but ended up getting a role with Stephen Chow.

This wave was indeed unexpected.

Li Yun was at least quite surprised.

Fire Cloud Evil God.

That bald killer in the tank top and shorts.

How did you come to choose me?

Ok.

That's what they say.

But Li Yun still agreed to play the role.

There was even a hint of anticipation.

"That's interesting."

At this moment, the sinister young man's personality remained unchanged; he was still staring at Li Yun with a dazed look.

His underlying nature remains madness, but this time he's not a psychologically twisted weird kid.

Or perhaps his madness was too much for a strange child.

That pervasive self-destructive tendency remains unchanged, whispering in Li Yun's ear about the helplessness of this world: no one cares, no one loves, destroy it, whether it's others or yourself.

Fire Cloud Evil God and A-Guan.

What exactly are the differences?

Perhaps they all want to achieve this through the act of destroying others.

Let them achieve their goal of self-destruction.

Li Yun agreed to participate in the filming of "Kung Fu Hustle" and accepted the role of Fire Cloud Evil God.

Then Stephen Chow's studio responded that adjustments would be made and that other actors would be notified in due course.

It definitely has Stephen Chow's style.

Even more autocratic than Cheng Shilong, he chose roles first and then notified others.

And there can be no denial.

As expected of Stephen Chow.

At this moment, the filming that has been promised and put in effort should take place in the second half of the year.

"Pig Cage Alley" is still under construction.

Construction began after the Pig Cage Fortress was completed.

After calculating the next construction schedule...

Li Yun's attention returned to the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the TV series in which he played Murong Fu. The series was now in its later stages, marking the beginning of Murong Fu's dramatic fall from grace.

At least from the audience's perspective, it was indeed a dramatic fall from grace.

"The plot should be getting close to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain soon, right?"

At this moment, Li Yun murmured.

Li Yun sat upright, quietly waiting for eight o'clock in the evening.

The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils has begun.

The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is still being performed, and the outside world's comments are mixed, with most media outlets also giving similar reviews.

The advantage is that it is relatively faithful to the original work in most cases, including the main character Qiao Feng, whose identity is absolutely definitively established.

He is a better and more faithful portrayal of the straightforward and heroic Northwestern man than the TVB version, but he doesn't completely denigrate the TVB version of Qiao Feng.

TVB's Qiao Feng is also excellent in many ways; his acting skills are absolutely top-notch.

The only differences are in the image and the way it is portrayed. Some people say that TVB's Qiao Feng is miserable from beginning to end, which is actually quite different from the Qiao Feng in the original novel.

Of course, when talking about the original work, we can't avoid mentioning Murong Fu.

This Murong Fu's deviation from the original work has led to a truly mixed reputation for him.

He seems to be a person with a serious ideal of restoring his country, not someone who simply wants to have a vague dream of becoming an emperor.

He is a villain with his own principles.

Of course, as the story progressed to the middle, everyone seemed to have forgotten about this.

After all, the whole series revolves around the three brothers, Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xu Zhu.

While everyone's attention was drawn to the three brothers, the plot discussions also revolved around them.

Overall, opinions on the show were mixed, but the viewership ratings hovered around 5.5.

For the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils series, this is indeed a pretty good result.

With this achievement, the next installment of The Return of the Condor Heroes is practically guaranteed to be approved.

At least Zhang Dahuzi is now completely relieved; the next installment of The Return of the Condor Heroes can now be approved.

Although CCTV criticized the speed of project approval.

Perhaps this timeframe is measured in years.

But it's still in the process of being approved as a project.

At this point, most people are drawn to the story of the main characters, crying when Qiao Feng cries and laughing when Qiao Feng laughs, while the emotional entanglements between the three brothers in the martial arts world also enter the later stages.

Qiao Feng endured a life of hardship, losing his lover and his ideals, ultimately becoming deeply bitter and resentful.

At the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, he sought the final answer.

"The plot has reached its climax. I wonder if our Qiao Feng is nervous right now."

Zhang Dahuzi and Zhou Liang just smiled.

Even their discussion revolved around the three Qiao brothers.

It seems that Murong Fu has also been forgotten by them.

Just as they had initially planned.

The focus of the plot and the audience is mostly on the three brothers.

Okay, this time there's also Wang Yuyan, after all, this Wang Yuyan is just too amazing.

This is a rare character who has received little controversy since his debut.

TVB's Wang Yuyan is a classic and very beautiful character.

But my version of Liu Qianqian with Zhang Dahuzi is also like a fairy descending to earth.

It is just as good as its predecessor.

It has a huge advantage in terms of image.

So cute that you can't think of anything else.

Her looks and temperament are her absolute advantages, unparalleled advantages.

"His performance in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils this time was not bad."

At this moment, Liu Lili looked at her daughter with admiration at home. She had grown into a graceful young woman, and she was her pride.

From appearance to personality, they are all sources of pride for me.

Of course, we can't let her get too proud or complacent; we can only say that her performance was acceptable.

This made Liu Qianqian quite happy.

To receive such praise.

At this moment, Liu Qianqian was a little reserved and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's all thanks to Brother Li."

"Brother Li?" Liu Lili frowned slightly as she heard her daughter call him so affectionately.

"That's the actor who played Murong Fu."

It turned out to be the actor she was acting with, which dispelled some of Liu Lili's doubts.

"His portrayal of Murong Fu was also quite good."

In fact, Liu Lili didn't care about the rumors outside. She wasn't a fan of the original novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and didn't care whether the character was true to the original work.

From her perspective, all she could tell was that the actor's performance was indeed quite good.

From the perspective of acting, it's about the eyes and the character's image.

Murong Fu belongs to the outstanding group, at least in this age group.

The same applies to character development.

"It's all because Brother Li guided me so well that I was able to get into character," Liu Qianqian said, her voice growing softer as she sensed her mother's mood turning sour. She was very perceptive in noticing this.

Then I could only change the subject.

"Mom, do you remember? The person we met at the buffet in Hengcheng was none other than Murong Fu, the one we're meeting this time."

"It really is him?" Liu Lili was a little surprised. She had heard her daughter say before that the person auditioned for the role of Murong Fu, but she didn't expect that he would actually get the part.

It all started with that down-to-earth young man I met at the cafeteria.

Although her appearance is not bad, that's all she's good-looking.

There was nothing else that she could remember.

"Yes, yes, it's him! I was a little surprised too," Liu Qianqian said, crossing her arms. "I didn't expect to run into him so soon."

Liu Qianqian wanted to continue speaking, but she held back in the end.

Actually, Liu Qianqian still wanted to say something.

Fortunately, Brother Li was there, so I didn't have to spend the last Chinese New Year alone, and I didn't have to eat dumplings at home by myself.

but.

It's probably better not to say anything.

Let her be one of your little secrets.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Liu Lili noticed her daughter's hesitation.

Liu Qianqian simply shook her head and said with a smile.

"I'm really grateful to Brother Li. He was the one who helped me get into character. When he came to help me get into character, it was really great. It wasn't just me; even Brother Hu Jun and Brother Lin Zhiying were drawn into the role."

"That's indeed a good one." Liu Lili's words were somewhat perfunctory, and she seemed to be just an ordinary third- or fourth-rate actress.

It has a very promising future.

That's really hard to tell.

Or.

Most actors in this industry don't have much of a future compared to their daughters.

But my own daughter is different.

She not only has exceptional looks, but also unparalleled resources. For most people, the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils project is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and being able to act in it would be a blessing. Perhaps this is the best resource that most actors can access in their lifetime.

But for Liu Lili, this is just her daughter's first foray into the entertainment industry; many great opportunities await her in the future.

Some people are destined for greatness.

But some people are destined to have a fleeting moment of glory.

Take Murong Fu, for example. He's an immersive actor who came from a self-taught background. Liu Lili thinks his performance this time was pretty good, and it might be the best memory of his acting career.

That's impressive; someone who came from a self-taught background has managed to get this far.

At least Liu Lili should offer some praise, but that's all she could say.

At this moment, Liu Qianqian brought the milk to the TV.

"Mom, the TV series will start soon."

"it is good."

At this moment, Liu Lili was sitting next to the television.

I'm also prepared to witness the last bloom of this epiphyllum.

Although the flowering period is short.

But it's still watchable.

It will always be spectacular at least once.
