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

Chapter 163, Two Madmen

At this moment.

Ye Jiunian arrived at the Heavenly Court Group's reading location with a backpack on his back.

Ye Jiunian held a rather special position within the entire Lotus Lantern production team.

In an industry where screenwriters generally have low status, Ye Jiunian's position in the Lotus Lantern production team is quite unique.

Completely different from other screenwriters.

They have a greater say.

Even now, with the script not yet 100% complete, he hasn't been fired, which speaks volumes.

It can only be said that his status in "The Lotus Lantern" is enough to make anyone in the industry envious.

At this time.

After Ye Jiunian arrived at the Heavenly Court group's reading session, he discussed the script and character positioning with everyone.

This includes the character's facial expressions, as well as the dignity or other emotions they display.

I went through everything carefully.

"Jade Emperor, you need to be less dignified. Our show is mainly aimed at the family. Don't act like Emperor Wu of Han, with your mouth all crooked over here and there."

"Queen Mother Liu, please be more authoritative this time. You are a staunch supporter of this Heavenly Law, and your attitude will be even more resolute than that of the Jade Emperor. In the story, you will want to kill Chenxiang."

"Pigeon"

This surprised Ma Weiguo and his team somewhat.

This screenwriter is really something; he even did the expression and organization of emotions himself.

There are indeed very few pieces that are this meticulous.

"Where is our Erlang Zhenjun?" Ye Jiunian asked at this moment. He had come here specifically for Li Yun's role in the script, in order to complete the script for this Erlang Zhenjun.

When they arrived, Li Yun wasn't there.

At this moment, Xie Ning spoke.

"His reading session is almost finished, so he doesn't need to come every day."

Although that's what I said, it wouldn't be good if I didn't come. After all, everyone here is seriously 'reviewing,' and it would be rather irresponsible of me not to come.

However, Mr. Liu Benchang still tried to smooth things over, saying, "He might have been a bit tired the other day, but at least he's perfectly capable of handling the role now. Don't worry, the progress is going well."

Let's look at the reading session that day.

I really can't guarantee how well Li Yun acted.

But as for whether there are any problems with taking on this role, there are actually not many.

"They can't even arrive on time for the reading session?" Yang Hui frowned beside him, not saying anything more, but at least this attitude was a bit problematic.

At this moment, Ye Jiunian nodded and said.

"Alright, I'll go find him."

"Thank you for your help."

"I have a feeling that this screenwriter is a little crazy," Xie Ning said softly. When Ye Jiunian was talking about the characters and plot, he was gesturing wildly and looked very excited.

Everyone just assumed he was in a state of high spirits.

"Actually, you can't blame Xiao Li. After all, the script he received was incomplete." Ma Weiguo said with a wry smile, "This is the first time I've encountered a situation where the script for a character isn't the final version just before filming starts. What if our head screenwriter suddenly decides to change the script, creating character conflicts? Then all the feelings we built up during the readings will be wasted."

"It feels like a makeshift operation," Xie Ning joked from the side.

What they said makes sense.

After all, this is a major drama series produced by CCTV.

This is rather frivolous.

You could also say it's about striving for perfection.

You could call it child's play, it all depends on how you interpret it.

"I don't know how the final product will turn out. Anyway, it seems that our screenwriter and lead actors might have some minor issues," Liu Xiaoqing said, shaking her head. "We think we should just focus on making our own films and playing our own roles well. In the end, we won't be the ones getting criticized, right?"

"The director focused on the junior group, and those junior group members were quite good. Liu Yehong, who was eliminated, went to the junior group."

"He'd be more suited to be our Erlang Shen (a deity in Chinese mythology)."

Amidst the sparse discussions, the reading by the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court reached its final stage.

As for the final ending of this drama, the Heavenly Court's side of the story is pretty much done. What kind of effect it will have depends on how the young lead actor performs.

If the junior group also underperforms.

Then this "Lotus Lantern" might just be the Waterloo of CCTV's mythology series.

Ye Jiunian was also extremely unhappy at this moment.

At least it's not a good thing if someone isn't there during the script reading.

However, he still found Li Yun's hotel with the final version of the script, cursing and swearing.

"Erlang Shen is fine like this."

Although Ye Jiunian still felt that something was missing.

But never mind, today is the deadline for finishing the script.

Let things be as they are.

Besides, even if I come up with a good script, Li Yun might not be able to act it out.

Given this attitude, what else can we do? Maybe they're sleeping soundly in their hotel room.

But Ye Jiunian was still somewhat unwilling.

I'm not content with just writing a script that panders to teenagers.

When he arrived at the hotel where Li Yun was staying.

They arrived outside Li Yun's room.

Standing outside the room, you can even faintly hear sounds coming from inside, as if someone is talking to someone.

I'm not sleeping.

Ye Jiunian subconsciously thought that Li Yun was sleeping in and therefore did not participate in the reading session.

But you can hear sounds inside, the sounds of conversations.

Li Yun is right here.

Filled with mixed emotions, Ye Jiunian knocked on the door.

"Who goes there?"

When Ye Jiunian saw the door open and the person who came out, his heart trembled.

What kind of look is that?

What a look that is!

majesty.

A haughty, superior gaze.

That feeling of belonging to the gods was exceptionally strong.

This feeling of looking down from a high position.

Who comes here?

The person before me is the true Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun.

Then who am I, the visitor?

Who could I be?

At this moment, Ye Jiunian said subconsciously.

"This humble deity is none other than Zuo Shandiao, one of the thirty-six grass-headed gods."

"So it's you, Mountain Eagle. You've come to see me today to discuss your grand plan?"

"Exactly."

At this moment, Li Yun...

wrong.

Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation, had incredibly deep eyes.

Those were eyes that saw through everything in the world.

Divinity and humanity.

neither.

It is a principle that transcends divinity and humanity, and is derived from it.

What is the grand scheme he's trying to tell us?

"Heaven and earth are yin and yang, gods and humans are separated. Gods control everything in the world, high above and omnipotent. Mortals are the ones we protect, but if one of us mixes in, how can those so-called mortals survive?"

"The love between man and God is indeed precious. Love is such a thing, such a wonderful thing, that it exists in our intelligent lives."

"But if the fruits of love and hate are enough to disrupt the balance of the world, how can this world not be in chaos?"

Erlang Shen's voice was deafening.

God, high above!

The voice of the God of Justice.

A wake-up call.

The idea of ​​an explosion seemed to burst forth in Ye Jiunian's mind.

"We humbly desire to hear God's plans."

Ye Jiunian also knelt on one knee at this moment, truly adopting the posture of a grass-root god facing the mouth god of Guanjiang.

There were no screenwriters or actors present at this time.

Li Yun and Ye Jiunian were not there.

Only Erlang Shen and the Grass-Headed God.

Only Erlang Shen is speaking the correct truth.

"Don't you even look at the time? Stop making such a racket!"

At this moment, the young couple living next door are thoroughly annoyed.

This early morning at ten o'clock should have been another happy time.

As a result, a series of chaotic noises came from the next room.

These sounds made it difficult for them to "fall asleep".

"Brother, brother, brother, it's so noisy next door," the heavily made-up woman said coquettishly.

At this moment, the man with the tattoo on his arm wanted to fully display his masculinity.

"I'll go and shut them up!"

"Brother is so awesome, so amazing!"

At this moment, the tattooed guy also came to knock on the door, his voice was extremely loud and he was incredibly arrogant.

He even made a point of showing off the tattoo on his arm.

When ordinary people see Big Brother Liang's blue-eyed white tiger, they don't just bow down and worship; even if they have a point, they become unreasonable.

And when the door opens.

The bald man looked at the two people in front of him.

The tall, handsome one in particular gave him a jolt.

Damn, who is this person?

That disdainful gaze seemed to possess an aura of authority forged through countless years of carnage and bloodshed.

The little white tiger on his shoulder looked so fragile.

"What kind of monster is this?" Li Yun frowned at this moment.

Ye Jiunian glanced at it and said, "It's just a roaring tiger demon from the mountains. Why don't you eliminate it, my humble servant?"

Li Yun nodded.

"What we are doing is a major undertaking, and we must not expose it, otherwise all our efforts may be in vain."

"Your humble servant obeys."

Then the older brother looked at the two men in front of him, who were radiating murderous intent.

my day.

Does he not understand what the ingredients are?

Two crazy lunatics!

"Just ignore me, brothers. I don't understand what you're saying, and I didn't hear anything. That's all." Then he happily went back to his room, grabbed his girlfriend, and ran away. He didn't want to fight anymore, and even Dudu was now huddled up inside.

When I arrived at the front desk to check out.

The little girl next to him was still complaining, "Why is brother checking out already?"

"Those two guys over there are crazy."

He then vented his anger on the front desk, saying, "What's wrong with your hotel? Are you letting lunatics stay here?"

The receptionist could only smile and apologize.

He said he would find out the truth.

This will not happen again.

But inwardly, he sneered. That was a room rented by the CCTV production crew; it wasn't their place to be crazy.

After the two of them had walked away, the receptionist joked with the person next to her.

"This is the first time I've heard someone put Yang Wei's reasons in such a fresh and unconventional way."
