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

Chapter 201, The Bewitcher

At this moment, Hu Qu is in very good condition.

At least for now, it's very good.

Regardless of how well one gets into character.

Judging from the shooting situation...

They were all quite spirited.

Right now, his state and aura are at their peak, which is the perfect time to embody the concept of a "swordsman".

Meanwhile, Wu Linbo, the assistant director who had returned to join the filming, looked at Li Xiaoyao in front of him and couldn't help but admire him.

"It seems our swordsman is in pretty good shape. He's already showing signs of 'enlightenment'."

It gives off a feeling of chivalry and adventure.

This is Li Xiaoyao at this very moment.

Huqu.

"How about it? Our male lead is pretty good, isn't he? He looks like a master at slaying demons and monsters," Li Liguo teased.

Slaying demons and eliminating evil.

Isn't it people like the Moon Worship Cult Leader who are to be beheaded?

Now, Li Liguo is worried that Li Yun's portrayal of evil might not be convincing enough, and that his presence as a villain might not be strong enough.

If you don't have enough presence, you don't know if you can even put up with the acting skills. For every righteous aura, there must be a corresponding wicked aura to counter it.

Otherwise, if the aura is too different, the dramatic effect on screen won't be achieved. "That's why I say Hu Qu is actually very good. It should be said that he is very well-suited to this role. This unparalleled sense of fit, on the contrary, I think Xiao Li is not quite there." Li Liguo joked, "Actually, during the reading, I noticed that he tried his best to portray the feeling of evil, but his appearance and temperament couldn't bring himself to do it. Trying to portray that feeling of evil would backfire. I think having the temperament and feeling of a scholar is enough."

at this time.

Wu Linbo opened his mouth, then closed it again, unsure of what to say.

After all, he really didn't know what to say right now.

"Well... I'm not entirely sure either. Let's talk about it when filming starts."

"Um"

Li Liguo was quite adept at understanding human relationships and social dynamics.

Since he said that...

That's actually the case.

Li Yun's filming there probably wasn't very good either.

What Li Liguo found strange was that if the filming there wasn't very good, then how could the filming progress there be so fast?

That's puzzling.

Tang Min, the chairman of Tangren Media, also frequently visited the set. She was generally very satisfied with the performances of Hu Qu and Liu Qianqian, as the two lead actors' performances were unexpectedly excellent.

Liu Qianqian perfectly captured the feeling of a young girl's budding emotions.

Hu Qu's performance captured the feeling of a young swordsman gradually growing into a chivalrous and righteous man.

"Next, we'll film the second half of the main storyline, which will roughly involve their direct conflict with the Moon Worship Cult Leader. Li Xiaoyao will travel through time, intending to go back to the very beginning to save Zhao Ling'er."

Tang Min watched this scene unfold.

Although it's a bit heartbreaking.

But it also highlights the sense of destiny in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

"Hopefully, our Moon Worship Cult Leader can fulfill his mission as a villain."

Tang Min thought.

He can fulfill the most basic role of a villain.

That's it.

others.

Let Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er complete the theme of the TV series.

Today marks the first time the Nanzhao group and the main cast have worked together for filming.

It was also the time when the scenes for King Witch Wang Zhixian and Queen Witch Qing'er were about to wrap up.

After they finish filming their scenes, they will go to other film sets to shoot. The backbone of the entertainment industry is still very busy.

In one day, Li Liguo finished filming all his scenes with the Witch Queen and most of his scenes with the Witch King.

Tang Min and Li Liguo were very impressed.

Li Xiaoyao wants to save Qing'er.

But it's impossible.

This also added a touch of sorrow and vicissitude to his personality.

This is an essential stage to becoming a great hero.

The completion of their scenes allowed Li Xiaoyao's character to grow.

There were some changes in the arc light.

"Your condition is better than we expected," Li Liguo exclaimed.

The filming of these two key actors went more smoothly than expected.

Getting into character?

After exchanging compliments and exchanging ideas for a while...

at this time.

Wang Zhixian and Sun Li exchanged a glance and then spoke.

"Since we have nothing else to do, let's stay here for now. We should also get rid of our feelings for the character and accompany Wang Zhixian to finish filming her last scenes."

Wang Zhixian and Sun Li today.

They all have a very complex feel to them.

The feeling of immersing themselves in the role was quite profound, but this profound feeling could also affect their ability to get into character when they went to other film sets.

I need to get rid of this feeling.

Li Liguo, of course, would not refuse, but was slightly surprised.

Surprisingly, there are two roles: the Witch King and the Witch Queen.

Why exactly?

How could there be such a strong sense of immersion?

It's because...

Li Xiaoyao?

Could it be...?

Has he already been able to influence veteran actors?

"You're saying his acting skills have already influenced veteran actors? Are they that good?"

At this moment, in Tang Min's heart...

The weight on Hu Qu's position has become even heavier.

The talent he's displaying now is beyond that of an ordinary new-generation actor.

That's terrifying!

They only filmed one scene.

This made it impossible for Wang Zhixian and Sun Li to get out of character.

How could such talent not be terrifying?

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case. You Tang people have really struck gold."

"I think so too."

Tang Min smiled brightly.

Next.

It's the final stage of the main storyline.

Hopefully, Hu Qu can still demonstrate the necessary courage.

"I'm really worried now, that the Moon Worship Cult Leader might not be able to handle it," Tang Min said.

In this regard.

Li Liguo simply remained noncommittal.

at this time.

Li Liguo adjusted the shooting order, reversing the shooting order of the Moon Worship Cult Leader.

Let Baiyue film her solo scene first.

Then film the scene between the two.

Li Liguo mainly wanted to see what Li Yun was capable of, and then see if the camera angles and roles needed to be adjusted for tomorrow's scene together.

Although Wu Linbo said that this moon-worshipping person was a bit "strange".

But the effect of the shot.

Absolutely no problem.

seeing is believing.

We need to be more rigorous.

Moreover, it was a one-man show.

Actually, a lot of the time it's just reciting lines, so not showing their faces makes it easier to handle.

And then the plot unfolds.

It's called moon worship.

They went to find "the ends of the earth" and brought back a tree from there, making the Nanzhao Kingdom the ends of the earth, a unique place.

They used this concept to bewitch the people of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Let them go crazy.

They worshipped the moon with fanaticism.

even.

Compared to the Witch King, the emperor of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

they.

And those who are willing to believe the lies of the moon worshipper.

Li Liguo looked at Li Yun. From his perspective, Li Yun hadn't changed much since the reading session.

There just felt something was off.

That strange feeling.

It comes from Li Yun.

At this moment, director Li Liguo said.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Alright, let's begin filming."

at this time.

Li Yun once again communicated with Bai Yue.

"I".

Ten years of traveling the world

I went to see the ends of the earth.

They learned the truth about the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea.

The Witch King eagerly awaited the Moon Worship Cult Leader.

They've returned.

It brought the truth of this world, to the ends of the earth.

When Li Yun's Moon Worship Cult Leader appeared in this one-man show.

Li Liguo.

But he was somewhat taken aback.

They discovered that Li Yun not only lacked any sense of evil, but instead exuded the aura of a scholar.

calm.

There's even an indescribable sense of approachability that inspires trust.

Is this how a villain should feel?

It doesn't seem like it.

"Worship the moon! Worship the moon! Worship the moon!"

When the people's trust in the moon worship surpassed that of the witch king.

Even the Witch King was a staunch supporter of moon worship.

Baiyue thus became the most powerful person in the Nanzhao Kingdom in a de facto sense.

At this moment, Bai Yue lightly pressed his fingers down, and the entire film set fell silent.

"I've found the ends of the earth."

"This is a sacred tree that I brought back from the ends of the earth."

"When everyone worships and makes offerings day and night, and plants this tree until it grows and stands tall in our Nanzhao Kingdom, when all this is done, our Nanzhao Kingdom will become the ends of the earth, and we will become the edge of the world."

When Baiyue finished saying these words.

The people's worship became even more fervent.

They believe.

They trust.

Baiyue brought the sapling of the divine tree from the ends of the earth back to the Nanzhao Kingdom.

It also became the "national tree" of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

It became a symbol of moon worship.

Once people have a specific object of their faith, they become devoted and fanatical.

The more fervent they became, the more they transferred their worship and longing for the moon to this sacred tree brought from "the ends of the earth."

Bai Yue watched this moment.

His face remained calm.

A feeling of neither joy nor sorrow.

as if.

This was exactly what he had expected.

He compiled a series of ghost stories.

This led to the people's fervent devotion to the Moon Worship Cult.

Even the Witch King.

I also believe it.

This is a divine object brought back from the ends of the earth.

But Li Liguo, who knew the plot and script, knew that it was fake.

There is no such thing as the ends of the earth, nor is there any such thing as a sacred object brought back from the ends of the earth.

It's all nonsense from the Moon Worship Cult Leader. This tree was just a sapling he casually picked from the roadside.

But these lines were spoken, and these stories were fabricated.

It gives people a certain feeling.

A peculiar sense of trust.

Even Li Liguo himself was a little...

I was persuaded.

Could it be.

Is this really a divine tree brought from the ends of the earth?

at this time.

Baiyue looked at the people and at the Witch King.

What I think in my heart.

What was said also came from Li Yun's mouth.

Looking at this tree before me, which is cherished and worshipped by the people day after day as the "national tree" of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

That condescending tone.

"Look, now, under their care, you, who were once just an ordinary person, have become something so magnificent."

Obviously.

There was not a trace of mockery.

However, it is filled with attitudes toward the ignorant.

That concludes today's filming.

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult is putting on a one-man show.

Let Li Liguo be the director.

It's terrifying.

He finally understood why Assistant Director Wu Linbo felt that way.

Li Yun's acting was very strange.

There was clearly no malice or evil in them.

Even their emotions didn't fluctuate much; it was as if they were just drinking water and eating.

but.

This is a villain who has no ill intentions whatsoever.

His presence evoked a strange reaction.

He's an incredibly wicked and evil person!
