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

Chapter 199, A Terrifyingly Evil Man Who Is So Good It's Chilling

The next day.

Assistant director Wu Linbo, along with Wang Zhixian and Sun Li, arrived at the set together and discussed the upcoming acting techniques the whole way.

"So, we still didn't get to discuss the script with Mr. Li." Sun Li smiled, but there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in her smile.

They felt that Li Yun was late.

If we discuss it early on, we might be able to avoid having to do so many retakes.

"I don't want to say anything," Wang Zhixian shook her head, even sounding a bit annoyed by their lack of ambition.

If only I had had this opportunity back then, at the peak of my life, to have had this chance to express myself.

Perhaps he wouldn't just be a "veteran actor" now.

Maybe I could play the male lead.

"Alright, alright, let's just focus on our own tasks. We'll discuss the script and eye contact later."

Sun Li and Bai Yue will have a brief exchange of glances later.

What attitude should she have when facing the leader of the Moon Worship Cult?

Or rather, how will the Moon Worship Cult Leader treat him later?

Was it hatred? After all, she, as the Witch Queen, had weakened Baiyue's power in the Nanzhao Kingdom.

That's why he was seen as a thorn in their side, and why they wanted him to get rid of them as soon as possible. It was a conflict and struggle over power.

"There's just one question: if his Moon Worshiping Magic is so powerful, why would he go to such lengths to incite the people to kill me?"

"Perhaps, this is what the script requires," Wu Linbo said with a smile. "The audience isn't that picky; this is just a way to create dramatic conflict."

"Haha, I was just saying, anyway, that's how the script is set up."

at this time.

When the three arrived at the film set and said they needed to get their makeup done, they discovered that the nearest dressing room was already occupied.

"Huh? Who's putting on makeup in there?"

"Mr. Li, he's been getting his makeup done inside for half an hour."

"ah"

Wu Linbo suddenly fell silent.

I thought Li Yun hadn't come.

As it turned out, they had arrived early and were already inside getting their makeup done.

They were the ones who arrived late.

"You've arrived quite early this time. Okay, I'll go do my makeup and hair on the other side then." Wang Zhixian was a little surprised, but she turned around and went to the other side to change into her costume for the filming and to tidy up her appearance so she could get into character.

Enter into that incompetent, indecisive, and emotionally charged witch king.

"321"

"Start filming."

"Slay the demon queen, and rid the world of evil!"

"Slay the demon queen, and rid the world of evil!"

A frenzied voice echoed through the crowd, as everyone shouted.

The evil queen must be eliminated.

The voices of the crowd were a mixture of excitement, fervor, fear, and even a strange sense of exhilaration.

Sun Li plays Qing'er, a descendant of Nuwa, who still looks at her people with compassionate and merciful eyes.

they

They were simply misled.

Here, Wu Linbo felt that when the crowd was acting out this kind of mass violence, it was as if everyone had become a professional actor.

His tone, his expression, everything about him was so professional.

It felt like everyone was just playing themselves.

Although I find it very foolish.

But this is the norm for the general public.

Even if the person in front of me is the compassionate and empathetic Qing'er.

They are only willing to believe it.

Believe that

Follow the camera.

The actors, the Witch King, and the Witch Queen followed the gaze of those figures.

Dressed in black.

Compared to the fanatical crowd who wanted to kill Qing'er, he was so calm, his eyes as clear and still as a stream.

Without joy or sorrow, calm and serene.

But he was the one who pushed everything to an irreversible point, the culprit behind all the crises.

As the camera and the actors' eyes looked over...

The appearance of the Moon Worship Cult Leader caused a slight tremor in their hearts.

What kind of look is that?

Even Wu Linbo was shocked by the emotion in those eyes when he saw them.

A villain.

After he committed the evil deed.

It can be arrogance, it can be evil, it can be haughty pride.

It can be any emotion.

But the person in front of me is the leader of the Moon Worship Cult.

He didn't even have the slightest sense of being "high and mighty".

Yes, during the script reading, Li Yun's portrayal of the Moon Worship Cult Leader conveyed at least a sense of power and superiority, revealing him as a high-ranking and influential figure.

But now, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult.

If I really had to talk about it...

It's that tiny bit of power, even the slightest feeling of being superior.

They've all vanished.

Not a trace of smoky flavor.

It carries not a trace of power or authority.

It was unusually tight despite its blandness.

He didn't join in the commotion or join the clamor, as if he were detached from it all, seemingly aloof from the world, yet he didn't hide his presence.

But why is it that such a calm face gives people a creepy feeling?

This feeling of peace.

That feeling of being high and mighty.

It doesn't give you any sense of pressure.

It even possesses a touch of divine compassion, paying attention to the feelings of all living beings around it.

He didn't even seem like a villain; his expression and eyes made it seem as if he were carrying out a very "righteous" thing.

At least.

This is a righteous act that comes from one's own heart regarding what one has done.

"Having killed the wicked empress, this humble subject is willing to share Your Majesty's burdens."

at this time.

Bai Yue, however, remained slightly humble and said calmly, "Slaying the Demon Queen is a matter that this humble subject cannot shirk."

Qing'er stared at Baiyue.

Bai Yue also stared at Qing'er.

This was the only time Baiyue and Qing'er acted together.

It was a gaze without any malice, yet even with such a seemingly harmless gaze, there was a chilling feeling of standing there.

"He is like this."

Wu Linbo was somewhat shocked at this moment.

As a villain.

Even his reaction when he was about to kill someone he wanted to kill gave people a peculiar feeling.

There was no malicious intent whatsoever in his killing intent.

It's even more terrifying.

It gives people the feeling that he is truly doing the right thing.

His words, the tone of his speech

With

A peculiar inflammatory quality.

Those extras.

Those "subjects" were even more fervently supportive, and Li Yun and Bai Yue were now at the center of this aura.

The people of the Nanzhao Kingdom were fanatical and incited.

And then there's Baiyue, who leads this aura.

It highlights a certain aspect.

A strange and malevolent quality.

"Our people have been bewitched by the Moon Worship. Your Majesty, please make a decision, please make your choice. The time has come when you must make a decision."

at this time.

Qing'er looked away.

The evil nature of the moon-worshipping ritual prompted Qing'er to utter these heartfelt words.

Our people.

They were all bewitched by this evil man.

This astonishingly wicked man.

Use your self-righteous "correctness" to lead them to do great evil.

At this moment, Sun Li came to Wu Linbo's side. She said to the assistant director with some complicated feelings that she was not involved in the next scene.

"I always feel like there's something strange about our Moon Worship Cult Leader..."

"Um"

Wu Linbo pondered.

No matter how strange it was, all he knew was that this actor, Xiao Li, was in exceptionally good condition.

It's so good it's terrifying.

"She is a sacred symbol of the nation! How could you kill her?!"

At this moment, the Sword Immortal stepped forward to stop the atrocities committed by these fanatical Moon Worshippers and the general public.

"She is a blasphemous witch," Bai Yue said calmly, her hands behind her back.

"You are the one who blasphemes!"

The Sword Immortal was very angry.

anger.

But here he was furious and enraged.

It is also of no use in addressing the current situation.

These scenes passed by very quickly.

The shot that I thought would be reshot didn't turn out to be reshot.

Director Wu Linbo was shocked.

We could only continue cutting the camera and filming.

Is the performance of this Moon Worship Cult Leader good?

wrong.

"Good" is beyond words.

Yes, there is one.

Strange magic

A devil's temptation.

In the next shot.

His words.

The assistant director was Wu Linbo, and the director was Wang Zhixian.

I felt a strange shock.

In the individual shots of the Moon Worshipper and the Witch King.

"Has His Majesty never suspected your Empress? As her bedmate, have you also noticed anything strange or unusual?"

At this moment, Bai Yue spoke in a calm tone.

The strange allure in his tone.

To Wang Zhixian.

To the Witch King.

It has a strange attraction.

Wang Zhixian got into character.

He became the sorcerer king in the play.

The King of Nanzhao deeply loved his Queen and Qing'er.

From the reading session to the filming, the feeling was very strong.

The feeling was so real that it gave him an unparalleled sense of immersion in the character.

He was an emperor, a father, and a husband.

He was a failure and incompetent, yet he loved his people.

The emperor.

At this moment, the demonic voice of Baiyue seemed to be pouring into one's ears.

His words possessed a strange and mysterious magic.

Wang Zhixian, an actor, knew that his wife, Qing'er, was a descendant of Nuwa and a true empress who loved her people like her own children.

She loved the people of Nanzhao.

but.

But even if you know

When the demonic chant of the Moon Worshiper pierced my ears.

"Is that so, Your Majesty? Have you never suspected that your wife is a snake demon? Will you only regret it when you see it with your own eyes?"

At this moment, Li Yun walked up to Wang Zhixian, talking as he walked, each step seeming to be a prelude to his next words.

They all seem to be part of a seductive maneuver.

It seems that his wife, Qing'er, once said that this Baiyue was a bewitching and evil person.

But the Witch King would not question Baiyue's sincerity; his people trusted him, including the Witch King himself.

At this moment, Wang Zhixian suddenly realized that she didn't know when it started.

While I was looking at Qing'er.

Some doubt had already crept into his eyes.

The seeds of doubt are taking root and sprouting.

Perhaps he really wasn't a descendant of Nuwa.

Perhaps he really is a descendant of some kind of snake demon?
