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

Chapter 135, Stephen Chow's "Others laugh at my madness, I laugh at their ignorance."

Stephen Chow has a good reputation in the industry—as an actor, his reputation is absolutely fantastic.

The title of "King of Comedy" is not given lightly; it is the result of box office success with one film after another.

The box office appeal among the audience, and the resulting success.

Those were the real box office results of the films in which he starred, and the results that attracted attention.

However, Stephen Chow is not very popular. Apart from Yang Xiaolong and Yuan Hua who would visit him in their spare time, most other people would not talk to him after the reading session.

She has a terrible temper and isn't very popular.

As the king of comedy, he is not as always smiling as people imagine. Outside of filming, he usually looks like everyone owes him a million dollars.

His face was dark and foul-smelling; he was prone to outbursts of anger and his emotions were extremely unstable.

At this time.

Li Yun had also experienced firsthand Stephen Chow's temper.

Perhaps it's because it's not yet time for them to read aloud.

He hasn't even started cursing himself yet.

His attitude towards other people was truly... well, let's just say it was ...

"Even though they're such good friends, the landlady and the landlady curse each other like that. Stephen Chow's temper is truly legendary."

Li Yun had also gotten a feel for Stephen Chow's temperament.

But Stephen Chow truly loves this industry.

That is truly undeniable.

First of all, he used a lot of new actors.

They are also one of the few companies in the industry that actively uses newcomers, including "Sauce Explosion" and "Jenny," both of whom are newcomers to acting.

Therefore, most people here have rather complicated feelings towards Stephen Chow, respecting him but keeping their distance.

Stephen Chow didn't seem to care about this.

Curse people however you like.

If you don't do well, you get scolded, and the scolding is very harsh.

"Little Li."

"Brother Yuan."

at this time.

Yuan Hua came and found Li Yun, and then took another look at the "Fire Cloud Evil God" in front of him.

He's still too young and too handsome.

He's not as ugly as Yang Xiaolong, so he has a comedic feel to him.

but.

Since it was Stephen Chow who made the choice, he must have his reasons. Regardless of the final result, let's just keep filming it.

Just like Yang Xiaolong's idea.

The character "Fire Cloud Evil God" is essentially a medium for the protagonist's growth.

A symbol of transcending the 'self'.

The main focus of the film is still on Stephen Chow.

As long as the character of Fire Cloud Evil God can portray the feeling of a villain, have enough sense of oppression, and even the "madness" that Stephen Chow saw, that's enough.

"Let me add something else. I know you've achieved some success in the television drama field, which is great. At your age, and having built your success on your own, that's excellent." Yuan Hua paused and said, "But movies are still different on the big screen and the small screen."

Small screens can tolerate imperfections.

The big screen cannot tolerate this.

The acting requirements are higher on the big screen than on the small screen.

And it's in the 'comedy' genre.

It's almost one of the types of films that demands the most from the actor.

They have the lowest tolerance for poor acting skills.

"Perhaps due to a lack of experience, you will make mistakes and get scolded. I hope you are mentally prepared for that."

"I understand that." At this moment, Li Yun nodded seriously. In both his past and present lives, he had heard a lot about Stephen Chow's personality. He was admired and respected at work, but kept at a distance in his personal life. Even his "golden partner" back then was like that.

"That's good"

Yuan Hua didn't know whether Li Yun had truly listened, or whether he genuinely understood or was just pretending.

all in all.

The message has been delivered.

Whether or not Li Yun can withstand the pressure is his own business. If he can't withstand the pressure, it's normal for him to break up with the crew.

If this is how they treat supporting characters like "Sauce Explosion" in the early stages, then the requirements for Li Yun will only be stricter.

This young actor

"Alright, you read your script first, and then I'll do a reading with you later."

"Um"

If I had to name the most eccentric actor I've encountered since entering the industry, it would undoubtedly be Stephen Chow.

He can genuinely wear a comedic smile one second while reading aloud, and the next second he'll start swearing.

"It's the landlady! Why is there no water all of a sudden? Your tone needs to be blank and flat; that's what makes it funny. What were you just saying? Huh? Don't you even look at the lines you were just reciting?"

Stephen Chow is criticizing Sauce Explosion and Jenny again.

Of course, the fact that many people criticize them doesn't mean that fewer people criticize others.

Stephen Chow's output ability is still quite fierce.

This is something that everyone can see.

However, everyone can see Stephen Chow's professional skills.

When he was involved in the script himself, his expression instantly changed to a smile, transforming from an angry and scathing look to a beaming smile, which made people admire his ability to control his emotions.

Even when they were on site.

He had just finished cursing someone a second ago.

I can burst out laughing the next second.

It made everyone in the crew burst out laughing.

His ability as a comedian is truly remarkable.

Too domineering

Sometimes, even if people on the film crew don't really like Stephen Chow as a producer, they have to admit that he's really amazing as an actor.

She is truly outstanding.

At this moment, the landlord came to find Li Yun, and what followed was the reading session between Fire Cloud Evil God and them.

"His early life wasn't great. He really liked his job and loved it, but sometimes he was too obsessive about it."

"Senior Yuanhua, are you asking me to pretend I didn't hear that?"

"Need not."

Yuan Hua lit a cigarette and said, "He doesn't really care whether you like him or not, and he doesn't care what others think of him. He only cares whether you like his characters. If you criticize his characters, he will definitely fight you to the death."

"This is Stephen Chow," Li Yun said with some emotion.

I admire Stephen Chow's attitude towards his profession and his acting skills.

Just like what he said in "Flirting Scholar".

Others laugh at my madness, but I laugh at their ignorance.

"That line has a very Stephen Chow feel to it," Yuan Hua said at this moment. "Alright, you should get ready too. We should start the reading session. You should be fine with kung fu, right? I heard you have some martial arts skills."

"Yes, I have a Level 3 martial arts certificate."

"Level three, not bad."

Yuan Hua added in his mind, "Just the right level of beginner-level martial arts."

However, having a basic understanding is sufficient.

Having a foundation means you can be trained.

This means you can start training.

"Let me make it clear first, the action scenes in our Hong Kong films aren't that simple. Sometimes they're a bit painful and bitter, so please don't mind them."

Yuanhua continued to add to the discussion.

The standards here are for martial arts masters, which are different from the standards on the mainland where people only know the moves. Here, you really have to use your strength to fight.

It's possible that injuries and bleeding will still occur.

This is something Li Yun should think about and understand.

Li Yun nodded.

"No problem."

the other side.

The TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has finished airing.

It was played out perfectly.

As for Liu Qianqian, she knew nothing about it, since all the offers and scripts had ended up in her mother's hands.

As Liu Qianqian's mother and agent, everything was handled by Liu Lili.

"Um"

Sitting at home.

Liu Qianqian looked at the blue sky in the distance.

Brother Li now.

What is he doing?

Maybe they're filming a movie.

He works incredibly hard.

A grayed-out profile picture on QQ.

This already indicates that Li Yun is outside.

She doesn't need to worry about filming, choosing roles, or socializing at all.

All I need is my mother's arrangement; she'll take care of those things.

Although the roles she chose wouldn't make Liu Qianqian dislike her.

But Liu Qianqian always felt that something was missing, a bit empty.

It's an emptiness I can't quite describe.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about my cousin."

"Your cousin? Why are you thinking about him?"

"Oh no, no," Liu Qianqian realized she had let something slip and quickly said, "I was thinking about the next scene."

"Next, I want you to rest for a while. I've turned down all the GG (Goblin) training for you. Making money by filming GG at this time would be a waste of the fame you've built up."

"Um"

Her mother rattled off a whole bunch of things, but Liu Qianqian didn't understand much of it.

All she knew was that...

Just focus on filming.

Just listen to your mother.

No matter what.

Whatever Mom says goes.

Mom said to go east, not west.

That's life.

Life is always like this.

There's nothing wrong with it.

So much passive arrangement all along

Sometimes, though, I do think of that person who was a bit 'crazy' and didn't follow the rules when acting.

Brother Li is so dedicated to filming that he's practically obsessed.

How can he be so passionate about acting?

At this moment, Liu Qianqian was resting her chin on her hand.

"Mom, what do you think of my performance in 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'?"

"Not bad, not bad at all."

As Liu Lili sorted through the documents, she said casually, "The acting was all pretty good."

"I think the actor who played Murong Fu was very good," Liu Qianqian added cautiously.

Brother Li.

What is she like in her mother's heart?

But thinking about it, it's understandable that she never believed that "unorthodox methods" would go far.

I don't think that such "grassroots" people can achieve much in the end.

just.

Liu Qianqian still wanted to ask

"Why do you keep mentioning Murong Fu lately?" Liu Lili was still suspicious.

Liu Qianqian turned her head to drink her milk: "No, it's just that it's strange. We met at the buffet before, and I never thought we'd be able to work together. By the way, Mom, didn't you say he looked like someone? Everyone in our crew said he looks like John Lone."

"Hmm, he looks like Zunlong, but his eyebrows and eyes also resemble someone your mother knows."

"Who does that look like?"

"You wouldn't know him even if I told you. He's Li Modu from the Beijing circle. I met him when I came to Beijing to study. He's a romantic kid from a high-ranking family."

A romantic family from a high-ranking compound.

Liu Qianqian looked at her mother's eyes.

She felt it was better not to continue asking questions.

Who does Brother Li resemble?

Just like when everyone thought he resembled Murong Fu.

I still think so.

He is just like himself.

Like Brother Li.
