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

Chapter 260, We Can

"Well, how should I put it, this matter..."

Li Yun was somewhat confident in her medical examination report.

But there's still a magical feel to it.

Although he did indeed covet a place in the Aerospace Force.

but.

I didn't expect him to arrive so easily.

Correct.

Once the physical examination is passed, I'll be considered a half-member of the Aerospace Force Cultural Troupe, with a formal position. If I don't commit any crimes, I'll receive a pension as a state public servant upon retirement.

The Aerospace Force Cultural Troupe is nominally part of the organization.

Except for not being able to act in those messy movies.

There are no other restrictions besides not being allowed to leave the country.

After all, Li Yun never intended to make those Category III films, nor did he intend to sell them abroad.

After a while, in addition to having a protective umbrella, he also gained some protection.

There are no restrictions yet.

Of course, Li Yun felt that there was something strange about this matter, so he did not announce it to the public. After completing the physical examination, he prepared to film "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

"I'm really busy with 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' next project."

"There's also a main theme trilogy that's currently in preparation."

"My own 'The Crucible'."

Li Yun did not feel much joy because he won the Best Supporting Actor award, or rather, he did not seem to have any intention of stopping.

My journey is still ahead.

He also wants to win Best Actor and Best Television Actor awards, and to be nominated for a leading role.

Perhaps one can reach the pinnacle of success as an actor, or as someone in the entertainment industry, like Li Modu, Cheng Shilong, and Zhou Xingxing.

The desire for fame and fortune, along with ambition, kept expanding in my mind. When these things kept appearing in my mind, I simply couldn't suppress that feeling.

"You're the same way, aren't you? Thinking like this, we climb to the very top of the industry, to the very limit, not just your father, but everyone who looks down on you, Chinese and Westerners, everyone will be watching you, so dazzling, so radiant."

"This is you, this is how it should be you, this is how it should be me!"

"To become someone even Li Mo acknowledges? No, no, we must become someone who surpasses him. He certainly can't become a role model of the times, so why can't I? He can make good patriotic films, so why can't I? I not only want to make them, I also want to act in them. I want to place the glory that belongs to him on my own body. I want to surpass him, surpass this thing that he carefully protects and is proud of."

At this moment, Li Yun felt his body getting slightly hot.

Actually, it happened before at the Golden Eagle Awards.

Li Yun's primary focus is not on TV King or Movie King.

It's not Liu Qianqian, the Golden Eagle Goddess.

It's Cheng Shilong and Stephen Chow.

They are the most dazzling stars.

Even if you cross boundaries, you'll be under everyone's scrutiny; even if you step outside your country, the foreign military will offer you a handcart.

Welcome, praise to you.

Michael Jackson, Jackie Chan, Charlie Chaplin—artists who took their achievements to the very top.

Can I?

Can you do it?

No, I can't.

You can't do it.

But we can.

You can.

"Let's go, let's get out there, brothers."

Li Yun turned around.

The bathroom mirror reflected ten figures.

They dressed differently and had different personalities.

Those personalities.

The main filming location for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was Jiuzhaigou.

The outdoor sets used are the same as those used in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

The most striking thing is that one person spends a lot of money.

The funding is more than enough.

However, these funds were not used for personnel, but for filming locations.

"Are you sure you don't want to use child actors?"

"Using child actors will reduce my pay, right?"

"No, no, no." Zhang Dahuzi looked at Li Yun in front of him with some astonishment: "Shouldn't there have been two actors for this role? Gu Tianle was criticized a lot back then."

TVB's idea at the time was good.

Let Louis Koo himself interpret the stages from boyhood to youth to chivalry.

But this is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Actually, Gu Tianle didn't handle it well at the time. Although it resulted in some minor flaws, the overall performance was still fine.

It's all because of one difficulty issue.

Zhang Dahuzi's idea was to use different actors to portray different periods.

It doesn't matter if there's a sense of disconnect.

After all, for many people, adolescence and youth are not necessarily a solitary experience.

Growing up means killing your past self.

The true self that is achieved.

Although Zhang Da Huzi had some reservations about this, since the protagonist had said so, then so be it.

Actually, for Zhang Da Huzi...

Li Yun was able to portray both the youth storyline and the chivalrous storyline well.

That's actually not bad.

After all, the appeal of Yang Guo lies in his time as a chivalrous hero.

The Return of the Condor Heroes.

One-Armed Hero.

Meanwhile, Li Yun, also in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, watched the film crew begin their work in a grand procession, and felt a mix of emotions.

Compared to the previous film, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the filming crew is even more extensive.

The budget is twice that of the previous Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils series.

Doubling the number will elevate the overall presentation to a new level.

Upon arriving at the film crew's tent, Zhang Dahuzi said...

"This must be your first time playing a lead role."

"No, that's not true." Li Yun shook his head. Whether it's the Tengu or the Blind Well, he is the protagonist.

"That was actually the first time. Do you think the lead roles in those art films you acted in before count as leads? Do you know why?"

"Because there are few people?" Li Yun raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, it's precisely because there are fewer people that people can remember each character so well. But a large-scale TV series or movie is different; they have a considerable number of characters." Zhang Dahuzi looked at Li Yun seriously and said, "Do you know why some actors, whose acting skills have reached the level of veteran actors, will always only be supporting actors, not leading actors?"

"Because of their temperament and aura, some people, no matter how bad their acting skills are or how controversial their appearance is, just have the temperament of a leading man, and they can rise to stardom and go from supporting roles to leading roles."

"The most important thing in going from a supporting role to a leading role is this: you need to have the distinctiveness and characteristics of a leading actor. Li Yun, you don't have that kind of innate distinctiveness."

In fact, Zhang Dahuzi also revealed a secret that has been circulating in the entertainment industry for many years.

A secret that many people may never understand in their entire lives.

It has nothing to do with acting skills.

No, that's not right.

Acting skills determine your potential, but innate charisma acts like a ceiling, limiting you to that level.

Some people are born to be protagonists; some people's looks and temperament are just what make them protagonists.

Take Hu Qu from the Legend of Sword and Fairy, for example; he's a natural-born protagonist.

When he appears in the same scene as others, they can immediately tell that he has the aura of a protagonist.

"I'm just too ordinary-looking, aren't I?" Li Yun teased.

Zhang Da Huzi neither confirmed nor denied this.

"You're handsome, but you lack charisma; at least that's what I thought back then."

"So what now?"

"Now I think so too. Maybe even you don't know what kind of protagonist you're naturally suited for." Zhang Dahuzi paused and said, "At least, not our Yang Guo."

At least in Zhang Dahuzi's view, Li Yun's temperament is chaotic.

It is unknown.

"Then why did you come to me as soon as you thought of Yang Guo?"

"That's what makes you so great."

"The kind of presence you can project."

"The acting skills they possess are far superior to those that others are born with."

This isn't Zhang Dahuzi praising Li Yun; on the contrary, he believes Li Yun is unsuitable to be with Yang Guo.

At least in terms of natural appearance and inherent temperament.

Zhang Da Huzi acknowledged Li Yun's acting skills.

Acting skills that can bring out even the most subtle nuances.

In other words, Zhang Da Huzi's main focus is on performance.

Besides Li Yun, Zhang Dahuzi had another candidate.

Huang Xiaoming, who once played the role of Emperor Shao of Han.

But after much thought, they decided to let Li Yun play the role.

This freak who can perform with a quality he has no personality.

Perhaps the person he usually presents to people is all an act.

He wasn't born to be the protagonist.

But he's definitely a born actor.

It's all acting, it's all something that's been performed.

During this conversation, Zhang Dahuzi also confirmed one thing: the path Li Yun was taking was not to perform according to his own temperament, but to imitate the temperament of others through acting skills.

"Our golden duo has teamed up again." At this moment, action director Yu Jiancai smiled next to Zhang Dahuzi.

"Hey, golden duo, where's our director?"

"It's not in place yet, but it should be soon."

"Yeah, I just chatted with Xiao Li."

"Didn't you really like this kid? What's there to talk about?" Yu Jian teased. "You deserve some credit for his Erlang Shen being able to achieve such fame."

"Just for this reason alone, I absolutely have to go find that kid Yu Mingsheng and have a couple of meals with him. If it weren't for my recommendation, would he even have this Erlang Shen?"

Zhang Da Huzi also joked.

However, at this moment, he looked at Li Yun with emotion.

"Actually, I don't think he's suitable. At least in terms of his natural temperament and qualities, he's not as suitable as our top candidate, Huang Xiaoming, for the role of Yang Guo. But I think he can play Yang Guo and surprise us. And his visit to the set this time seems to be telling me that."

"Oh?"

"You know what? He asked us to cut out the scenes of young Yang Guo and give them to him," Zhang Dahuzi joked. "He wants to play Yang Guo's entire life, from his youth to his middle age, all by himself."

"what?"

Yu Jian was somewhat taken aback.

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

To have all of a person's growth trajectory.

It can achieve such an arc light with three layers of change.

Is it really possible?

"Do you believe it?"

I don't believe it.

"Then why are you letting him run wild?"

So,

Zhang Dahuzi paused for a moment and then said, "The ambition of triple transformation was something that Gu Tianle couldn't fully achieve back then, and Li Yun might not be able to either, but after thinking about it, I believe we have no choice but to do it."

"What we need to do is to be better than our predecessors, otherwise what's the point of remaking it?"

This arrogance is unique to Zhang Da Hu Zi.

Just as no one believed Li Yun could master the transformation of three roles, no one believed Zhang Dahuzi could adapt Jin Yong's novels well before he took the plunge.

Since others can believe my arrogance.

So what if I believe in someone else's arrogance just once?

Besides, we also have a powerful weapon!

Little Dragon Girl is there to keep things in order.

She is the queen of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
