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

Chapter 167, The Merger of the Agarwood Group and the Heavenly Court Group

"This sense of power is too strong." Zhang Dahuzi looked at Erlang Zhenjun in front of him.

They were also awestruck by this domineering aura.

Such a domineering display.

This was something Zhang Da Huzi really couldn't have imagined.

According to Zhang Dahuzi's idea, Li Yun was handsome and dashing, and would portray Murong Fu's noble air.

The same approach, when applied to Erlang Shen in "The Lotus Lantern," while not necessarily outstanding, at least has a lower probability of backfiring.

But at this moment.

The Erlang Shen as portrayed by Li Yun.

Completely different from Murong Fu

He possessed a sense of power, that primal sense of power.

Even Murong Fu never showed it.

He's so strong!

I never knew that before!

"He can recite his lines in this outfit without even breaking a sweat." Even Zhang Da Huzi was somewhat shocked. "I didn't realize that."

"Isn't he a trained martial artist?"

At this moment, Li Liguo asked from the side.

In the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Isn't it Li Yun who put on action scenes that are thirty years behind the times?

Li Liguo knew about this and approved of it.

But Zhang Da Huzi also said, "A good fight is completely different from 'power'."

Murong Fu's fighting style is quite exquisite, making people feel that he is a true martial arts master, but they would never think that he is a person with overwhelming strength.

But the Erlang Shen in front of us is different.

totally different.

The sense of power and coercion he exuded was the most primal, unrelated to kung fu movements.

He truly deserves the title of "God of War".

It wasn't something that came out of nowhere.

This time, Li Yun exuded a sense of power.

Even Zhang Da Huzi was shocked.

It was entirely within his expectations.

Besides!

At this moment, it wasn't just Yang Hui and Zhang Dahuzi who were shocked by the overwhelming power Li Yun displayed.

Those who were inside the venue felt it most deeply.

Ma Weiguo, Liu Xiaoqing, Liu Benchang, and others.

A murderous aura, unlike that of an ordinary person, emanated from Li Yun.

This kind of temperament definitely can't be faked.

Does an actor possess such charisma?

This kind of aura, born from a thousand years of bloodshed, from mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

impossible!

"This, this beloved minister."

The Jade Emperor's tone was somewhat slow—and it wasn't an act.

But as an actor, he genuinely hesitated here.

I was a little overwhelmed by that aura.

I didn't see this ability during the reading session!

During the script reading, there was absolutely no sense of captivating power.

"Do you know your crime?" At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West completely deviated from the script and replaced the Jade Emperor's lines.

Yang Jian readily admitted his crimes, including protecting his sister and Chen Xiang—"I did it, and I know I was wrong, so what?"

"I, the humble god, know my sins and am willing to atone for them through meritorious service."

At this moment, Erlang Shen Yang Jian stood up and said, "There are still countless true demons and evil spirits in this world that need to be slain. I will take my leave now. I will certainly capture Chenxiang and bring him back, and I will not fail your expectations."

Raise it high.

Put it down gently.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian, who was originally supposed to be interrogating him, turned the tables and took the lead.

The three-pointed knife in his hand.

That is, words.

I am the God of War.

What?

Are you not convinced?

at this time.

Yu Mingsheng's filming went very smoothly, and he made a phone call to Yang Hui.

"How's the filming going over there?"

"good."

"Oh, so when can we join forces?"

"The progress shouldn't be slow."

"Is that right? Are you sure there's no problem?"

Yu Mingsheng was somewhat surprised. He was worried that Li Yun might not be able to complete the task, so he gave the Heavenly Court group more time.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hui said that the progress would not be slow.

Yang Hui's tone remained resolute.

Yu Mingsheng nodded as well.

"Alright, then we can film our scenes together. That's great, it seems all the veteran actors are in top form."

at this time.

Yang Hui didn't know what to say.

indeed.

The veteran actor was in great form.

"Um"

after all.

There's no need to suppress your performance.

We will do our utmost.

The performance went remarkably smoothly.

And at this very moment.

Li Liguo and Zhang Dahuzi entered the film set.

Looking at the veteran actors who were still in shock beside them

People in the CCTV circle naturally know Zhang Dahuzi, after all, Zhang Dahuzi is a producer who is half in the CCTV circle and half in the Beijing circle.

Everyone came over to greet Zhang Da Huzi.

Only Li Yun was still sitting there.

Her charm remains undiminished.

Its power remains undiminished.

"That's so impolite of him." Li Liguo was quite surprised. You see, the role of Erlang Shen was something that Zhang Dahuzi got by using his own resources.

When the other person came to the film set, you didn't even look up.

That's incredibly ungrateful.

That's incredibly rude.

However, at this very moment.

Zhang Da Huzi shook his head.

"No, let's just leave it at that. Even if I went to him and called him, he wouldn't pay any attention to me."

Why?

Under Li Liguo's shocked gaze, Zhang Dahuzi spoke.

"Because I am not a member of this mythical world. And he is here, while I am not."

A rather romantic statement.

But Li Liguo, a veteran producer and director, immediately understood.

What kind of person, what kind of actor, would exhibit these symptoms?

The young man before me is Erlang Shen.

He is an immersive actor.

at this time.

The filming of the Heavenly Court scene in "The Lotus Lantern" was indeed fast.

So far, the filming process has indeed gone incredibly smoothly.

The veteran actors also got into character very quickly.

Here is a "God of War of Heaven" named "Erlang Zhenjun".

He's here.

Everyone is here

The progress was so fast that even Yang Hui found it unbelievable.

Judging from the current filming progress...

Who knows, they might even surpass the agarwood group in progress.

The biggest impression from the Heavenly Court group was probably that Li Yun possessed a very magical power.

A sort of.

The magic that draws everyone into the play.

"A strong sense of conviction and immersion. My God, how old is he?"

Yang Hui found it somewhat unbelievable.

A sense of conviction, a sense of immersion.

It was evident during the filming of Li Yun's scenes.

Li Yun, Erlang Shen, he really lived in this mythological world.

Here, he slays demons and monsters; here, he maintains order; here, he does something for his nephew, his sister, and the beliefs in his heart.

It possesses a secret that is absolutely unknown to anyone.

This is the Erlang Shen Zhenjun.

He truly had a strong feeling of carrying a burden.

This feeling was unusually strong.

This unparalleled sense of conviction, immersion, and even a deep sense of mission stemming from the character.

It's hard to tell the difference.

The world of reality and the world of mythology.

Under Li Yun's strong sense of conviction and immersion...

The next one is fully immersed in the role.

It's Grandpa Liu Benchang

This actor, who once played the Living Buddha Ji Gong, has also reached a high level of acting skill in all his other roles using the Method acting style.

now.

It seems I've found a bit of the feeling of being back then.

"The place I live in is a mythical world. I am Lao Tzu."

at this time.

Liu Benchang murmured.

After hearing about the filming progress of the Heavenly Court group, Shu Chang looked at Cao Jun and said.

"I heard that filming for the Heavenly Court crew is going smoothly? Their progress seems to be even faster than ours."

"Well, how should I put it? After all, we're valued by the director," Cao Jun said with a smile. "We strive for perfection, so the polishing process will take its time."

At this moment, Cao Jun was full of confidence, after all, he was the male lead of the junior group, Liu Chenxiang, the soul of the entire Lotus Lantern.

Most viewers learn about the story from Liu Chenxiang's perspective.

Go and learn about this bizarre and fantastical mythological world.

At this moment, Cao Jun also felt a strong sense of conviction.

Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother

Go to the Heavenly Court that imprisoned his mother.

Go overturn it!

to this end.

He needs to find Sun Wukong to learn magic.

To collect all the wicks for the Lotus Lantern, they must travel step by step with their friends to the Heavenly Court to capture that despicable "uncle." Why is it that his uncle, who is clearly their own uncle, has imprisoned their mother under Mount Hua?

That's his sister.

What's surprising here is that the interaction between Liu Chenxiang and his uncle Erlang Shen hasn't even started yet, which can be considered as reducing Erlang Shen's screen time here.

It was also a way of taking care of Cao Jun, since Li Yun was still too young.

Both Cao Jun himself and director Yu Mingsheng felt that this scene should be cut short.

It's true that Li Yun is older than Cao Jun, but definitely not old enough to be considered uncle and nephew.

This actually greatly affects Cao Jun's own sense of conviction and immersion in the role.

"If the impact is too great, we'll have to keep cutting scenes here." At this moment, Yu Mingsheng was focusing all his attention on the youth group, on the characters that would attract young viewers.

Ye Jiunian, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say, "If we cut any more scenes, there isn't enough interaction between the uncle and nephew here, and there isn't enough space to show Erlang Shen's humanity."

Erlang Shen's humanistic expressions are mainly derived from his interactions with Chenxiang.

Of course, his divinity is also reflected here, after all, there was a period when he was really hunting down Chenxiang.

It was a real hunt to send him to the 18th level of hell.

In Erlang Shen's view.

My nephew should either live a normal life and be happy.

Either grow through trials of blood and fire, becoming an external force capable of changing the world.

"So we'll only cut the length further in the worst-case scenario. Under normal circumstances, there's no need to make many changes to the length for now. Let's leave it at that."

Let's give the cut screen time to Liu Yehong. His Little White Dragon deserves more development, as the second male lead who serves as a contrast to the main character.

This is what Yu Mingsheng was thinking at that moment.

At this time, news also arrived from Yang Hui's side: the Heavenly Court group's solo scenes were basically finished, and the next step was the interaction between the two sides.

The filming of the Heavenly Court group and the Agarwood group is finally going to be combined.
