Chapter 198, Overturning This Foolish and Ignorant World

On the Nanzhao Kingdom's side, filming is also about to begin. Assistant director Wu Linbo has arrived, and all the extras have been contacted.

The local Miao people and some cultural references were also included.

The costumes, props, and sets were all based on the Miao ethnic group, striving to restore the culture as accurately as possible.

At this moment, Sun Li and Wang Zhixian finished their makeup and got ready.

These two are the main actors who will be acting opposite Li Yun.

Witch King, Witch Queen, Moon Worship Cult Leader

"So beautiful"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Sun Li was satisfied with the "Witch Queen" look, which also gave her a regal and dignified air.

Judging from her appearance, Sun Li would be a good fit to play Liu Qianqian's mother; she is a beauty of her generation.

"What a waste of such a beautiful look, my scenes are almost finished filming."

After all, from a timeline perspective, that was long before Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er met, and the witch queen Qing'er had already finished filming.

Her emotional entanglements with the Sword Saint and the Witch King were ultimately glossed over.

And then, with a sound of powering on.

Queen Qing'er quickly got into character as well.

In addition, there's the role of the young swordsman.

She portrayed this very well. When acting opposite the young swordsman, the emotions in her eyes, a mixture of innocence, purity, and a touch of girlish affection, created the basic tone of the character.

at this time.

Wu Linbo was somewhat dazed before he came to his senses.

"She truly deserves to be called an outstanding actress of her generation."

Her girlish demeanor is an imitation of Liu Qianqian.

It's a bit strange for a mother to resemble her daughter.

But in this drama, the female lead is Liu Qianqian, Zhao Ling'er, so she is the core and the main character.

This actress plays a descendant of Nuwa.

She really knows how to get things done.

She has seven-tenths of Liu Qianqian's poise, plus a beautiful face.

The mother-daughter relationship is established here.

"The highest good is like water; the Way can exist, yet it is not the Way itself."

The young swordsman also developed a close relationship with Qing'er, but in the end, he left without saying goodbye.

He attained enlightenment.

He cultivates the Heavenly Way.

The Way of Heaven.

He was no longer capable of being involved in any human emotions or love; these things had no connection to him anymore.

Queen Qing'er also abandoned the love in her heart.

All that remains is "great love".

Even her marriage to the Witch King was because the position of Witch Queen would allow the White Miao and Black Miao people to live in harmony, ensuring the peace and prosperity of the Nanzhao Kingdom and its people.

Descendants of Nuwa.

Only compassion remained.

Even when facing the Witch King, who was also her husband, her eyes were filled with nothing but love.

She has also reached the state of "the highest good is like water".

No matter how ardent the Witch King's love was, she responded only with the same compassion she showed to all living beings and the people.

He was no longer tainted by worldly desires, leaving only compassion. If one had to say what remained of personal feelings,

That was her daughter.

The Witch King was an indecisive and somewhat foolish man.

His love for Qing'er was passionate and genuine, but this genuine love did not reach the level of unconditional trust.

This led to the events that followed.

"Crack! Very good. With this indecisive plot, you're a perfect example of a mediocre ruler."

At this moment, Wu Linbo gave Wang Zhixian a thumbs up.

Incompetent ruler.

He lacked ability and charisma. If anything, he wanted to do something well, but he never did it well. His abilities were seriously flawed, and his personality was absolutely unsuitable to be a good emperor, which foreshadowed the events to come.

The plot involves being "bewitched" by the leader of the Moon Worship Cult.

"Why did you belittle me for imitating my own 'daughter'?" Wang Zhixian said, both amused and exasperated, after filming the scene and receiving praise.

In fact, this part of his personality was modeled after the personality traits of "Zhao Ling'er".

A somewhat indecisive young woman.

This was something he sensed, one of Zhao Ling'er's personality traits.

"Hahahaha, you two acted very well."

The Witch King and Witch Queen are a handsome couple, both in appearance and acting skills.

Wu Linbo only knew that the filming here was very relaxed, as all the actors were experienced middle-aged veterans. With just a little guidance, they would do their best without you having to say anything.

People will do it, and they will do it well.

The Witch King Wang Zhixian also felt something at this moment.

The feeling of love with Qing'er was exceptionally real.

I got completely immersed in the role...

I've gotten into the story.

at this time.

Wu Linbo said.

"After this scene is filmed, it will be the scene where the leader of the Moon Worship Cult appears."

"This is also the scene where my character dies suddenly," Sun Li joked. "I, the descendant of Nuwa from the previous generation, am about to exit the stage here."

In the timeline, Qing'er's story ends here, but filming is still in progress. Sun Li still has to film a scene with Li Xiaoyao, his future son-in-law.

A path to redemption that transcends time and space.

Although this was also a futile effort.

"Destiny" is the theme of "Chinese Paladin," a profound concept given to the script by director and producer Li Liguo.

Therefore, that scene is also quite important.

At this time.

Wang Zhixian said.

"It's time for this foolish Witch King to meet this Moon Worship Cult Leader who has bewitched me; I feel like he hasn't shown up at all these days."

"He hasn't had any scenes to film these past few days; he's been staying at the hotel," Wu Linbo joked. "He needs to get some rest, because it's time for him to start filming soon."

This left Sun Li and Wang Zhixian both amused and exasperated.

Wang Zhixian, in particular, originally thought that Li Yun, who played the leader of the Baiyue Cult, would become someone like himself, a middle-aged man who would neither rise nor fall.

A core group of talented and capable individuals.

They can't become top-level executives.

But becoming a key player wherever needed is still no problem. Perhaps when I'm old, winning some supporting actor awards will be enough.

now

Wang Zhixian's expectations for Li Yun have somewhat decreased. He may have talent and ability, but in the entertainment industry, talent is a consumable commodity.

Perhaps you have a talent for certain roles.

But what about the more specific roles?

Wang Zhixian had noticed the leader of the Baiyue Cult during the reading session. He was actually quite good; his thirst for knowledge was indeed very scholarly, and he even had the air of someone in a high position.

But not enough.

That's not enough.

He was ultimately the main villain.

There needs to be a sense of pressure from someone. But he didn't have that feeling.

Not enough.

"If he performs poorly this time, his chances of getting a similar role next time will be very, very low."

Wang Zhixian said softly.

For a young person with little background.

This would undoubtedly be career suicide, a waste of one's talent.

but.

Sun Li's mood didn't fluctuate much, after all, whether the "Chinese Paladin" drama was good or bad didn't really concern her.

As for this Moon Worship Cult Leader, at most it's just a matter of making fun of him; this young man doesn't seem to cherish his current talent and opportunities.

There's not much to reminisce about.

There's not much to reminisce about.

At this moment, Wu Linbo was on the phone with the chief director, Li Liguo.

The Holy Maiden, the Southern Barbarian General, and Anu were filming a scene together, which was also being filmed by the Nanzhao crew.

Currently, the scene to be filmed is the first scene featuring the Moon Worship Cult Leader.

This villain is obsessed with destroying the world, yet also possesses the scholarly air of a learned man.

He wanted to destroy all people in the world.

"How's the filming going on your end?"

"That went smoothly. Wang Zhixian and Sun Li are both veteran actresses; their acting skills and teamwork are impeccable." At this moment, Wu Linbo jokingly added, "Don't worry, Liu Qianqian's parents are fine. How about your side?"

"I'm still filming Li Xiaoyao's solo scene here, and it's going quite well, isn't it? In our group, Li Xiaoyao should be the best actor to carry the weight."

Hu Qu's performance was even better than Li Liguo had imagined.

In terms of expressiveness, it truly fits the character in the story.

It fits perfectly, it's just right.

Hu Qu was still a junior in college, and at that time, he naturally had his own unique sense of youth and adolescence.

The performance turned out to be surprisingly good.

Tang Min gave high praise, especially when filming scenes depicting everyday life.

She has a slight lecherous streak and some unfounded flaws, which are inherent to the character.

After all, Li Xiaoyao came from humble beginnings and only through his many experiences growing up did he become the legendary swordsman.

Hu Qu performed very well.

The timing was perfect.

Looking at it now...

He is indeed suitable to be the core of this Legend of Sword and Fairy.

"How are the preparations going on your side, Master Baiyue?"

"I'm not quite sure either."

"Not quite sure?"

Wu Linbo told the truth that these days, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult has been resting in the hotel as if he were doing whatever he wanted. Of course, he hasn't had any scenes to film these days either. It seems to be expected that he won't appear or have any work to do.

This attitude doesn't seem like that of a young actor; it makes him seem more like a seasoned veteran.

Even Li Liguo didn't expect Li Yun to be so cunning.

disappointment.

No, not at all.

After all, I didn't have high expectations for this role.

"Okay, let's meet up when it's time to finish filming."

The Nanzhao Kingdom doesn't have a lot of screen time.

Even in the very last chapter of the entire "Chinese Paladin" series, this part of the story is only described in detail.

However, the shooting order also needs to take into account scheduling issues, so the main storyline should be filmed first.

Then the main characters from the side stories slowly went back to film.

At this time.

Wu Linbo also made a phone call, asking Li Yun to arrive on time the next day.

at this time.

Li Yun was in his room.

Looking in the mirror.

Looking at the "moon worship" in the mirror.

Li Yun even felt like he hadn't showered in a long time, and kept staring at the mirror, searching for something to improve his acting skills, except for eating and drinking.

Should it be called "sharpening a knife"?

The character of Bai Yue was honed at the last minute.

Li Yun murmured to herself in front of the mirror.

"Now, I'm ready."

"Baiyue. Let's go together and overturn this world that is lazy, ignorant, and foolish, and then let Nuwa create humans again."
