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

Chapter 142, This Madman Doesn't Seem to Be Acting

The end of silence.

The two actors put on a dramatic performance.

In silence and stillness.

They looked at each other.

It lasted a full half minute.

In this half minute.

Cameras from various angles were used to capture Li Yun, Zhou Xingxing, and shots of the two together.

It's unclear how much time passed before Stephen Chow finally uttered that word.

"Click!"

This scene has been filmed.

Li Yun was still smiling at this moment.

His laughter was chilling.

At this moment, Stephen Chow's expression returned to normal. He transformed from "Sing Jai" (Little Star) to "Director Star," and even his demeanor changed in an instant.

In terms of acting skills, he has reached a level of consummate mastery.

Immersion and detachment.

His forte is playing ordinary people, which allows him to direct and star in kung fu movies without expending any extra energy.

"Director, what's next?" At this moment, the production assistant came to find Stephen Chow. The original shooting plan was two sets, so should we shoot one more set next?

Or is it that this scene needs to be filmed a few more times?

Ultimately, Stephen Chow was the one who truly dominated the entire film; even the cinematographers and production crew were stunned by the scene just now.

From their perspective.

This set of shots is amazing. What makes it amazing, and how is it amazing?

But it always has been like this.

It has to be Stephen Chow.

We need Stephen Chow to make the decision.

The entire audience fell silent, waiting for Stephen Chow to speak.

"No need, let's leave it at that." At this moment, Stephen Chow gave Li Yun a deep look: "That's it, no need to shoot a second set of shots, and this set of shots doesn't need to be shot a second time either, let's move on."

Then Stephen Chow turned and left to prepare for the next scene.

Of course, perhaps he was preparing for the next scene, or perhaps he was reliving the feeling he had just experienced—the feeling that Fire Cloud Evil God had given him.

This set of shots.

Got it in one go.

……

at this time.

Li Yun felt that her thoughts were both chaotic and orderly.

This feeling is wonderful.

The 'Fire Cloud Evil God' is undoubtedly chaotic; he himself is insane—driven mad by the times and driven mad by himself.

Li Yun, on the other hand, "sees" himself from a third-person perspective.

Go and express yourself.

If I were the Fire Cloud Evil God

wrong.

I am the Fire Cloud Evil God.

There are no "what ifs" in this question.

I am the invincible "Fire Cloud Evil God".

"How unfortunate it is that a person born from a mixture of Li Yun's childhood and the Fire Cloud Evil God is not only prone to self-destruction, but also likely to destroy the world."

"That's the kind of person who's crazy, powerful, and domineering enough. Only when he goes crazy can he make everyone afraid. That's reasonable. How could someone who makes a name for himself in the martial arts world and is given the ultimate title be just an old man who looks crazy?"

Li Yun, however, felt...

The feeling of being transported back to his childhood was something that Li Yun found somewhat regrettable.

This body's childhood was truly unfortunate. The slightest bit of pain added made even the Fire Cloud Evil God feel it deeply, driving him even more insane.

An unfortunate past coupled with an unfortunate upbringing forged the Fire Cloud Evil God.

Li Yun felt a wonderful sensation from this acting style.

It even incorporated Li Yun's own feelings.

The fit with the role is deeper and higher.

It feels even better when acting together.

Because it contained a part of itself.

Because of my own part, this time I didn't feel any difference from my personality at all.

"This system believes you need some rest. Would you like me to block your personality in advance? For your health, this system thinks..."

"Shut up, I'm perfectly normal, I'm not sick, don't bother my brother Fire Cloud Evil God and 'me'! I'm full of energy right now!"

system:"."

It's not unusual to get a long take done in one take.

But it would be quite a rarity in Stephen Chow's film crew.

Everyone knows that Stephen Chow has extremely high standards. A lot of the budget is spent on making shots multiple times. This is not a bad thing, since many shots need to be filmed repeatedly to select the best ones to use.

Even so, Stephen Chow gave a long take that was filmed in one take.

We won't be shooting the second plan.

This plan was used once.

It's all in the past now.

"Did you see that? His behavior just now really gave me a fright."

At this moment, Chen Guoji stared in shock at the scene unfolding before him.

He was also on this stage.

The aura of "Fire Cloud Evil God".

It really has a sense of evil and madness.

He was smiling very calmly.

But the madness and pain beneath the calm are emotions that can be truly felt.

This is what makes Li Yun so formidable.

That's what makes the Fire Cloud Evil God so powerful.

"I realize I may have underestimated this young actor a bit." Chen Guoji's eyes were complicated at this moment.

He now has a special connection to this role.

The image was copied, and it's in his heart.

He only appeared in one shot and one scene.

This left a deep impression on him regarding the character.

The impression that one cannot completely shake off.

"It's an aura of oppression."

Landlady Yuan Qiu whispered from the side, "It's unbelievable, but that oppressive aura is what's most impressive, what surprises me the most. How did he manage to completely and utterly change his own aura and demeanor?"

That's a bit unscientific.

Aura is something like that.

It's actually very difficult to change things through makeup, or rather, makeup can change a lot of things.

appearance.

But things like "temperament" and "aura" are different.

Abstract things are difficult to quantify using standards, but the fact that they are not quantifiable does not mean they do not exist; a standard for them truly exists.

Some memorable qualities cannot be completely changed even by acting skills. No matter how good the acting skills are, they cannot change the temperament and aura formed over decades of life. Those subtle changes in facial expressions form a person's temperament and aura.

This is also why Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua couldn't be optimistic about Li Yun's portrayal of the villainous Fire Cloud Evil God from the beginning.

When I first arrived at the film crew.

His temperament

This made Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu feel...

I can't control it!

However, Li Yun, who couldn't control the villain at first glance, suddenly underwent an absolute change in temperament.

Just like the situation now.

He transformed from a handsome young man into an absolutely insane and domineering villain.

The comical and slovenly appearance only serves to amplify the madness of this "Fire Cloud Evil God."

At this moment, Yuanhua looked at Chen Guoji beside him and said.

"The next scene is an indoor scene, a fight between Fire Cloud Evil God and the Axe Gang." Yuan Hua didn't think much of it at the moment and shook his head: "You should go and get ready too, so you don't get scolded by Stephen Chow again."

This scene was indeed well-shot; judging from the perspective of the characters' entrance, it was quite stunning.

It's no wonder that even Stephen Chow, who is strict with himself and others, couldn't find fault with the scene, allowing it to be filmed in one take without any hesitation about shooting it multiple times.

Even Stephen Chow himself is in very good condition now.

"I'm ashamed to admit it."

At this moment, Chen Guoji looked in the direction of the Fire Cloud Evil God and swallowed hard.

"Now, I'm a little scared."

feel a little scared.

This is the "Fire Cloud Evil God".

Even if you know it's acting, it's just a performance.

But Chen Guoji is the opposite.

I'm still scared!

It wasn't just Yuanhua and Chen Guoji who were shocked.

Including Sauce Explosion and Bucktooth Jenny, they also watched the scene of Fire Cloud Evil God.

That kind of overwhelming aura goes without saying for these ordinary citizens.

Even the "Five-Stroke Eight Trigrams Staff", "Iron Wire Fist", and "Twelve-Road Tan Leg" techniques.

The three reclusive martial arts masters in the story, facing the overwhelming force of the Axe Gang, ultimately chose to stand up and drive away these wicked villains, although in the end, Coolie Qiang and Wu Lang Bagua Gun paid the ultimate price.

But realistically speaking, even if they had another chance, they would still choose to stand up against the Axe Gang.

Real-life kung fu masters can't help but feel...

This kind of inner and outer charm.

For them, the Fire Cloud Evil God was...

Their strongest feeling was its danger, which they could absolutely empathize with.

"You guys don't seem too surprised." At this moment, He Wenhao swallowed and asked the actor next to him, Coolie Qiang.

at this time.

Shi Xinyu said with a complicated expression.

"Well, I'm not good at acting in dramatic scenes, but we can still discern many things, like aura. We martial artists learn something called 'qi observation,' which increases our sensitivity to our surroundings."

"That's amazing?"

"Otherwise, how would you react to a punch and counter it? That's a basic skill."

The dishes "Stir-fried with Soy Sauce" and "Buck Teeth" sound impressive but are actually quite strange.

At this moment, Shi Xinyu continued.

Li Yun's temperament gave him that feeling, that wildness.

From the first glance.

From the day we started rehearsing the action scenes.

They saw it.

"Back when we were rehearsing the fight scenes, I'm not bragging, but the moment he got close to us, the hairs on our heads stood on end. Our bodies were warning us that this guy was a dangerous thing," Zhao Zhigang said, rolling up his sleeve, which was covered in goosebumps. "See that?"

"It felt like being approached by a venomous snake! Yes, the last time I had that feeling was when I was climbing a mountain in my hometown. I suddenly felt my hair stand on end, and then I turned my head sharply and found a mountain peak staring at me." Shi Xingyu continued, "I've never encountered this situation when fighting with other people."

The sense of danger emanating from within is also a kind of temperament.

Something that martial arts practitioners can more easily sense.

This may not mean that the other party's martial arts skills are particularly high.

But it definitely means that the other party is not a kind person.

"If he had come to Pig Cage Alley on his first day, I probably would have run away."

Zhao Zhigang whispered at this moment

At this moment, Chen Musheng sat to the side watching this scene.

It felt like a dream, and I was still a little dazed.

I was over there just now.

Is he really Li Yun, the actor who auditioned for New Police Story?
