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

Chapter 222, Taking the Role

Therefore, I give it 90 points.

At this moment, Du Qifeng paused and said, "I choose Li Yun. A choice unbiased and without any personal feelings!"

Ye Youhai, who was standing next to Du Qifeng, was speechless after Du Qifeng said that.

Brotherhood.

To be willing to go to great lengths for someone.

We pay homage to Lord Guan.

These are the gangs in his mind.

A true guild, perhaps, is what Du Qifeng described—that's what a real guild should be like.

At this time, Li Yun returned to the capital and waited three days for the audition results.

Jiang Chenggang was quite nervous during those three days.

They even came to "comfort" Li Yun.

"So what if we fail? This time, I feel Gu Tianle is indeed more suitable. He joined a gang when he was young, so no one knows more about gangs than him. This is an advantage that comes from real experience, and it's really hard to compare."

"People like us only know about gangs from Hong Kong gangster films of the last century; it's just a glimpse through a tube."

Jiang Chenggang even sighed and said, "Who would have thought that in this era, having been a member of a gang could become part of one's resume?"

But it is precisely because of this that he was able to deliver an excellent performance as Jimmy in the cast of "Black Society".

Who can blame them for having such an advantage?

Being able to portray a real gang is a skill in itself.

Li Yun neither confirmed nor denied this, and simply smiled slightly.

"Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run, don't panic."

"You've seen pigs run, but this guy actually worked as a pig," Jiang Chenggang chuckled. "It's okay, I've already found you a film crew. Even if you don't get the role in this 'Black Society' audition, it's alright."

Jiang Chenggang still fulfilled his role as an agent.

I also contacted a film crew.

The film crew's name is "Myth".

It was Cheng Shilong's production team. This time, he extended a sincere invitation to Li Yun to play a villain, an antique dealer obsessed with the elixir of immortality.

He said that Li Yun was very suitable for that kind of frenzied feeling.

In response, Li Yun first thanked Jiang Chenggang, but then said, "Let's wait and see."

Let's wait for the audition results.

For Jiang Chenggang, the audition result was not surprising. The production team of Chengshilong was quite good, although the role was not very good.

But at least it's Cheng Shi Long's film crew!

Even though it's a third-tier role, the pay is only that of a second-tier actor, which isn't bad.

of course.

In terms of lineup, Hey Society is more luxurious, more difficult, and should have a greater influence.

His opponent, Gu Tianle, is a second-tier actor in film, but he is almost a first-tier actor in television dramas, and his own qualities are also excellent. It will definitely not be an easy thing to beat such an opponent.

If I had to say, the difficulty is actually quite high.

so

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to say something, Du Qifeng called.

The person on the other end of the phone was informing them of the time to join the team.

Jiang Chenggang was slightly taken aback, still finding the result somewhat unbelievable.

However, there was no further announcement or explanation from them.

"Ah! You really got him?" Jiang Chenggang was a little shocked and couldn't quite believe what was going on. After confirming it several times, he realized that Li Yun had indeed won over Gu Tianle in this audition, a position that seemed almost certain to be secured.

That's not right!

That's really not right!

After all, he was once a legitimate gang member.

"Have you ever joined any gangs or anything behind my back?"

"They say even if you haven't eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig run," Li Yun chuckled.

"But they really were once pigs."

At this moment, Li Yun said lazily.

"That's why people who have been pigs are even less likely to want others to know that they were pigs."

Meanwhile, Gu Tianle, in the gym, felt relaxed, working out with his old brother.

Building muscle is something Gu Tianle does every day without fail.

Maintaining your figure and appearance is not only being responsible to yourself, but also to your fans and audience.

Gu Tianle was quite confident about getting the role, not to mention that his co-star Li Yun was just a newly promoted second-tier actor, and like himself, he was involved in both film and television.

In terms of 'suitability,' there's no one more suitable than myself.

This is suitable for this latitude.

Gu Tianle was somewhat confident.

I'm definitely more suitable than Li Yun. After all, how can I understand everything about a guild if I've never been in one?

Comparing myself to him.

It's definitely because I understand the gangs better, and I understand the violence and order of that dark era better.

Zhang Yongyi said at this moment.

"Actually, I don't think there's any need to audition for this role. What does that mainland guy have that you can compare to? I think it's really unnecessary. Although auditions here depend on star power, you also have to consider the actual situation."

"Brother Yong, auditions aren't entirely without their benefits. At least they can find out what level I am. Although I was once a class representative, that was a long, long time ago, and I paid the price for it." At this moment, Gu Tianle said in a low voice, "Brother, you could have spoken a little more quietly."

Gu Tianle noticed that there were hardly any people around his gym equipment anymore; everyone had gone to exercise elsewhere.

A blank area formed next to him, making it quite quiet.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just talking about what happened back then. There's nothing we can't talk about. It all happened before Hong Kong's return to China. Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about."

Zhang Yongyi, Gu Tianle's former older brother, smiled at this moment.

The tattoos on his body weren't unusual in the gym, but the fact that they covered almost his entire body, along with the dragons and tigers, indicated that he had held a very high position in the gang back then.

This is probably the place that people around here find most awe and fear.

Muscles make the tattoos on his body look even more imposing and powerful. Back when he was in the gang, Zhang Yongyi was quite proud of his tattooed muscles.

He is the cornerstone of security and the most direct medium for gaining the respect of others.

Now that I'm older, and the era of chaos in Hong Kong is over, these things can only remain in my memories.

Zhang Yongyi is also an actor.

The era of gangs is over, and so is their era in movies, which makes one feel nostalgic.

"Back in the day, the three of us from Hongmen fought our way from Polish Street to Kowloon City, and we made sure the local bosses were in disarray. Then we became the leaders there."

At this moment, Zhang Yongyi is still reminiscing about the glorious years of the past, the era when he was truly unparalleled in his prominence and received the treatment of a big brother.

People respect, fear, dread, and support him.

"Back then, every nightclub owner on Portland Street who didn't fawn over me and send us monthly gifts was doing so willingly. We called it a win-win situation."

At this moment, Gu Tianle received a call from the film crew while Zhang Yongyi was still talking about what happened back then.

"Alright, boss, let bygones be bygones." Gu Tianle sighed after hanging up the phone, and finally smiled helplessly, "Didn't you want to know the results of my audition?"

"Alright, alright, let bygones be bygones. Now, can I ask you what your current situation is?" Zhang Yongyi said with great curiosity, probably wondering about the outcome of the audition.

Of course, from Zhang Yongyi's perspective, Gu Tianle was the best choice for the role, without any hesitation. There was no better choice than him.

At this moment, after receiving the message from the production team, Gu Tianle paused and then spoke.

"My role was rejected; Mr. Li was the one who got the role this time."

"Um!?"

Zhang Yongyi, who was lifting weights at that moment, was stunned and put down his barbell: "You lost? Are you sure?"

"I lost, I'm sure of it."

His first reaction was that there was something fishy going on.

"This is impossible! How could you lose? That kid Du Qifeng even came to me. He said he wanted to present the most authentic version of the gang, and he even asked me to meet with a lot of the old big shots. He swore he would present a realistic portrayal. How could that kid be more realistic than you?"

"You've even been to jail for the gang, is there anyone who knows more than you?"

The words "had been to prison" stung Gu Tianle's heart slightly, but he still smiled and said it.

"Maybe I just don't understand things as well as others. Maybe this is my fate."

"That little bastard Du Qifeng." Zhang Yongyi made no attempt to hide his emotions and was about to make a phone call when Gu Tianle stopped him.

Auditions are recorded internally, and you can check them yourself as an opponent.

You also need to see how you lost.

When Gu Tianle saw the audition video, he could no longer hide his emotions.

He saw it.

I saw myself in this test.

There are also rivals.

The emotions they displayed were similar to those they showed themselves.

And then, within these subtle emotions, what is different from oneself is...

The character of Zhanmi, as portrayed by Li Yun, was one of being forced into a corner and having no other choice.

The emotions in the script and the character were almost exactly the same as my own understanding of them.

The only difference is...

What Li Yun concealed in those subtle emotions was greed.

That kind of absolutely genuine greed.

Right here, they were openly mocking Gu Tianle.

Gu Tianle clenched his fist.

"Brother Le, I had no choice."

"Brother Le, I had no choice!"

"I was forced into this situation!"

Forced into a corner.

When you become an oppressor, how can you be forced into it?

When Gu Tianle saw Li Yun in the video, he saw that slightly greedy, even slightly curious and longing look in his eyes.

Gu Tianle asked himself this question.

Ask yourself

I joined the gang back then.

There wasn't even a hint of feeling.

Are they really that impressive?

Do they look really cool swaggering around?

Thinking of this, Gu Tianle realized that he was covered in cold sweat.
