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

Chapter 268, He's not a genius, he's a monster.

Mental state is a very magical thing.

Everyone thought that Li Yun was in the worst mental state, because he had two completely different, mutually hostile minds in his mind.

If you get so engrossed in these two people, won't your mind start fighting?

do not know.

At least people occasionally see Li Yun talking to himself and even enjoying it.

That's right, I just enjoy it.

Sometimes it's Li Yun, sometimes it's Yang Guo, and sometimes it's Zhen Zhibing.

He is Li Yun.

He was enjoying it.

Will it be painful? In such a drastically different mental environment, even a person with an exceptionally strong mind can barely explain how a person can contain two mental states in a single play.

He must have been in immense pain.

Jiang Mingtao has seen actors who are immersed in their roles before.

Immersive actors are prone to illness.

Mental illness.

Mental health issues are a common ailment among immersive actors.

And at this very moment, Li Yun...

He, however, looked unusually energetic.

Occasionally, it would let out strange laughter, as if watching cricket fighting.

If I absolutely have to say something...

That feeling is called interesting, I guess.

"This is the first time I've seen an immersive actor truly embody such compelling emotions," Jiang Mingtao murmured. "Is his mental state really normal?"

"Your question is excellent. First of all, the side effects of immersion acting are quite significant for normal people, but if the actors themselves also enjoy it, then is it still a problem?"

Zhang Da Huzi's eyes held a complex expression at this moment.

That's the situation right now.

For a normal person, this state is obviously unbearable, but it is Li Yun who is doing this at this moment.

His mental state can be described as very peculiar.

Back when Li Yun was still an immersive actor who simply focused on one role, Zhang Dahuzi worried that Li Yun's future acting career might be too narrow.

Will I become so immersed in a character that I can no longer immerse myself in another role?

However, this time, The Return of the Condor Heroes gave him a slap in the face and kicked him in the process. Not only can he immerse himself in multiple roles, but he can also immerse himself in two completely different or even extremely opposing roles in the same film.

His mental state did not worsen as initially predicted.

On the contrary, they felt even more energetic.

Who can I reason with about this?

He is not a genius.

He's not exactly a genius.

He's a monster.

Young Yang Guo will eventually grow up.

After experiencing the Valley of Heartbreak with Xiaolongnu, they finally realized that she had feelings for them. Because of the deadly poison of the Love Flower, the two decided to spend the rest of their lives together.

But fate did not favor this couple.

When Xiaolongnu and Guo Fu both fell in love with Yang Guo, the willful and capricious Guo Fu cut off Yang Guo's arm with a sword.

He severed his arm with a single sword stroke.

For martial arts practitioners, having their arm severed is tantamount to cutting off their future.

This is a hatred no less than a blood feud.

At the beginning, Yang Guo also hated her.

I also resented her.

But in the end, he chose to forgive her, to forgive this willful and capricious young lady.

They forgave her for her enormous mistake.

Yang Guo knew his days were numbered and he was deeply poisoned by the Love Flower. He only wished to be a short-lived couple with Xiaolongnü.

Oh well, oh well.

The chivalrous spirit of the martial world is nothing but a dream.

It's more important to be with the person you love.

By chance, Yang Guo also learned to use the sword with his left hand.

It was from the moment he severed his own arm that he began to learn Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship, and it was also the beginning of his transformation from a naive young man, from a nobody just entering the martial world, into a young hero.

He helped Wu Santong take his drugs, reconciled with the Wu brothers, repaid evil with kindness, protected Guo Jing's daughter Guo Xiang, and even when he was poisoned and had to cut off his own arm, he did not forget to protect the daughter of his enemy.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Yang Guo never regarded Guo Xiang as the family member of his enemy.

He didn't even harbor any hatred towards Guo Fu.

What is a chivalrous hero?

What is a hero?

The benevolent are the heroes.

Those who stand up against injustice are noble and chivalrous.

A chivalrous person is one who does not vent their anger upon seeing their own misfortune.

Benevolent and chivalrous.

"I'm starting to like Yang Guo a little." Chen Zihan said, resting her chin on her hand.

Actually, she didn't like Yang Guo at the beginning.

From an actor's perspective, she often sees a male lead who is universally loved and admired by all, and everyone inexplicably falls for this walking aphrodisiac.

Is it because of his appearance, his youthful charm, or the so-called protagonist's halo?

Well, actually, Chen Zihan hadn't watched The Return of the Condor Heroes much before because she thought Yang Guo was frivolous.

That's so tacky.

It's nothing more than attaching a taboo label of liking one's master.

That's what she thought back then, but as Li Yun's performance unfolded and the plot progressed again and again...

Yang Guo's personality was then fully revealed to the public.

Or rather, everyone is looking at it from Li Yun's perspective.

Aside from the occasional strange expression that Li Yun would make, as if watching a cricket fight, he was mostly Yang Guo.

They are all Yang Guo from this martial arts world.

Aside from being amazed by Li Yun's incredibly contemplative and manic acting skills.

Everyone saw Yang Guo.

Here, Yang Guo travels from Peach Blossom Island to Zhongnan Mountain, then to the Ancient Tomb Sect, then to Xiangyang City, and finally to the Valley of Heartbreak.

From a clever and mischievous boy to a frivolous but devoted wanderer of the martial arts world.

Often, including directors, they only focus on Yang Guo's likable appearance.

It also carried a touch of streetwise roguishness.

Perhaps it is this street-smart, roguish charm that makes so many women like him.

Even Zhou Liang and Zhang Dahuzi felt the same way. At the beginning, what was highlighted was Yang Guo's roguishness and the temperament that Yang Guo, a young master from a secluded family, did not possess.

So why is young Yang Guo so likable?

In fact, many times, even works by predecessors have different focuses.

Gu Tianle has an "ordinary" appearance.

He used his good looks to win over the audience.

Viewers can understand why those江湖儿女 (people of the martial arts world) like Yang Guo so much just by looking at Ah Le.

Why do those women become so captivated by Yang Guo?

Shiratani is invincible.

Appearance, physical appearance—it's a simple, direct, and blunt expression. This is also Yang Guo's hard standard: no matter how good your acting skills are, you must be handsome and outstanding in appearance.

At this moment, Li Yun's appearance is no less than that of Ah Le back then.

Presenting it directly to the audience also has a very strong persuasive power.

They would probably think it's a matter of course.

His handsome appearance alone is enough to convince others that he is a heartthrob.

Meanwhile, during filming, Guo Fu and Yang Guo meet on the street.

It seems that Zhou Liang and Zhang Dahuzi felt the essence of Yang Guo's character.

Facing Guo Fu, who had cut off his arm back then.

His composure.

Guo Fu definitely felt guilty, but her guilt was limited to "I've already apologized, what more do you want?"

And what about Yang Guo?

I'm not so petty as to argue with a difficult woman.

His eyes held a calm and serene expression.

It was a very ordinary scene, but it was the scene that best highlighted Yang Guo's character.

Xiaolongnu admired Yang Guo's sincerity and youthful spirit.

And his unwavering companionship.

Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, and even Gongsun Lü'e, who was willing to die for Yang Guo.

What kind of person was Yang Guo in their eyes?

Now Li Yun has given them this answer.

A young hero.

Have a kind and benevolent heart.

He lived up to the name of a young hero.

Filming progressed quickly, and Li Yun helped everyone get into character and quickly immerse themselves in the role.

Very soon.

No one cared about Li Yun's mental state anymore; instead, they were genuinely moved by the young hero in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

A young knight-errant with a benevolent heart.

I've become part of this world.

Feel the charm of the young swordsman.

Absolutely incredible is that even Guo Jing's acting skills have improved significantly.

Zhang Da Huzi's astonishing discovery.

Jiang Mingtao's expressions are imitations of Li Yunlai's.

This veteran actor, who had considerable reservations about Li Yun during filming, is now trying to emulate the chivalrous figure in his mind, refining his portrayal of the "great hero" from the perspective of a young swordsman.

To forge the hero in his heart.

Guo Juxia, a hero who served his country and its people.

It's incredible.

From the perspective of chivalry, portraying him as Li Yun is absolutely the right choice.

"Our Condor Heroes production team has absolutely gone mad," Zhou Liang muttered. "Zhen Zhibing is imitating Yang Guo, and Guo Jing is imitating Yang Guo too. What the hell is this?!"

"You can only say that anyone without a strong mental fortitude can't film Li's movies," Yu Jian said, his lips twitching.

He patted Zhou Liang on the shoulder, even with a hint of sympathy.

They watched Guo Jing learn from Yang Guo, they watched Zhen Zhibing learn from Yang Guo, and they watched Quanzhen call on all the Taoist priests to learn from Yang Guo.

Which director of The Return of the Condor Heroes could handle this?

Things are about to get chaotic.

If Li Yun doesn't mess things up, the director will be the first to get confused.

In response, Zhang Da Huzi unusually refrained from criticizing the two directors. This tyrant even showed concern by telling them to get some rest early that night.

Otherwise, I really couldn't withstand the mental torment.

When we get to this point, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu's scenes will have to be filmed separately.

Yang Guo entered the Divine Condor Mountain to study swordsmanship with his Condor brother, while Xiaolongnu traveled to Southeast Asia to find the antidote for the Love Flower with an Indian holy monk.

Perhaps this trip will be a one-way trip.

Even Xiaolongnu never thought she could come back.

The two lovers parted ways here.

A loving farewell.

At this moment, Liu Qianqian also felt somewhat sentimental as she left the main film set.

I glanced back.

Li Yun is looking at himself.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and the crew members were constantly moving about, busy with their tasks.

At this moment, Li Yun was looking at Liu Qianqian.

"Why are you still watching Yang Guo after he's gone?" Yang Mi said, holding Liu Qianqian's hand affectionately beside her.

She thought Liu Qianqian was too immersed in the role and was thinking about Yang Guo while playing Xiaolongnu.

In fact, everyone who filmed with Li Yun here was deeply immersed in their roles.

I've long been used to this situation.

Do you want to see Yang Guo?

indeed.

Little Dragon Girl is looking at Yang Guo.

But I am Liu Qianqian.

Who are they looking at?
