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

Chapter 274, Director Li

acting.

It basically asks you to impersonate someone.

This person may or may not have a real-life counterpart.

The reason Principal Liu was able to portray the demon's face so vividly was because he was the one who caught the demon.

He had seen a real demon.

Based on true events.

"So why did I become a middleman?" Zhuo Wei said, taking a drag on his cigarette. "I actually wanted to be a paparazzi, and in fact, I used to do that. But how should I put it? The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, and I've seen too many people like that, including you, Mr. Li. You're very frank about it; all you seek is fame and fortune."

"But I think that for me, music, movies, and TV series always have a meaning beyond fame and fortune, don't you think?"

"By the way, I can answer the question you asked me before. I'll return the favor. You want me to investigate Li Yichun and Liu Meng, right? No need, I have the information right here."

"What do you need this information for?"

"It's alright, I just want to keep it in my hands. As a noble person, I have always advocated repaying evil with good." Li Yun smiled slightly at this moment.

Zhuo Wei scoffed at this.

Li Yun squinted.

Repay evil with kindness.

I, Li Yun, remember the previous soft ban and the subsequent trouble-making.

Looking at the documents in my hand.

"A role model of the times? I should have said it when I was filming 'The Young Pioneers'."

Actually, Li Yun really wanted to tell everyone.

The real me is actually quite stingy.

"Oh, I know what you're trying to do." Zhuo Wei gave Li Yun a thumbs up and clicked his tongue, "Killing someone by attacking their spirit, that's ruthless."

After discussing these minor matters, the topic returned to Liu Ping.

As an actor.

The meaning beyond fame and fortune.

In fact, Principal Liu Ping's impact on Li Yun went beyond this. Unlike Li Yun's pursuit of fame and fortune, Principal Liu Ping was even more blatant in his willingness to abandon his own fame and fortune.

That's all for the purpose of making this movie.

It can be said that Li Yun and Principal Liu's demands coincided, and Li Yun's ambitions for the furnace included commercial success.

Principal Liu has only one requirement for this melting pot: to let more people see it.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

The starting points for their pursuits are different.

The result was the same.

But Li Yun felt that Liu Ping was a noble person, while he himself was not noble.

Even after experiencing Yang Guo's unforgettable experience.

Li Yun somewhat understood the feeling of a true hero serving his country and its people.

In Western terms, this means that with great power comes great responsibility, just like in Spider-Man.

Li Yun admires selfless people, but that doesn't mean he has to become selfless himself.

"Yeah."

But at this moment, Li Yun felt a surge of passionate excitement.

That wasn't the selfish self driven by fame and fortune.

I think about it sometimes.

Give it a try.

The feeling of giving your all without seeking fame or fortune.

The furnace project was thus officially launched.

Li Yun himself served as director, screenwriter, and male lead. However, from a professional standpoint, Zhuo Wei was not very optimistic about Li Yun's plan.

After all, not everyone can be a director.

The reason this project was able to succeed was because Li Yun was able to provide him with the best male lead he had ever come across.

he himself.

In fact, Zhuo Wei approached many people for this script, including idols, actors with real talent, young actors, and middle-aged actors.

They all said they were not up to the task.

Firstly, the agency there felt that the film had no expected returns.

Secondly, it's also because I feel that...

Making a movie is quite difficult.

The key to this type of subject matter is getting the actors to empathize with the victims in the film.

But in broad daylight, under the clear sky, empathy is something that arises so easily.

In the end, by a twist of fate, only Li Yun was willing to take on everything.

At this moment, Zhuo Wei never imagined that he would make such a big concession because of the quality of a movie.

Perhaps when people see the biography and deeds of Mr. Liu Ping...

That feeling of youthful passion within me has returned, hasn't it?

"Time has made me more worldly-wise. Now, Mr. Li, let's see if you can create a miracle that even I don't really want to believe."

At this moment, Zhuo Wei looked out the window, occasionally...

I also want to elevate my lowly self for once.

"A movie about children with special needs? Forget about it, that movie is definitely a no-go. You should stick to making movies and TV series here, and you'll definitely get plenty of resources."

Wang Jinghua looked at Peng Yuyan in front of her, and seeing his innocent expression, she was speechless.

Children with special needs are already a minority group, and they have little voice in society. The subject matter is sensitive, and the acting is difficult.

It's basically a tough rock to crack.

Even if they could handle it, they wouldn't choose to tackle it.

If a director and actor have the ability to make art films, wouldn't it be better for them to choose a grand narrative and mainstream theme?

Why waste time on such a niche and sensitive subject?

"But I..."

"For young actors like you, regardless of your ability, it's difficult to maintain popularity indefinitely. So what we need to do is seize the opportunity while we're still young to pursue popular projects and create high-quality works."

"Look at Li Yun, the Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Eagle Awards. He was so successful, so incredibly talented. And now, he's acting in youth films." Wang Jinghua chuckled as she said this, "Didn't you also start out acting in youth films? He's acting in films from your past."

To be fair, regardless of whether Li Yun was short of money or what, acting in a youth film was a terrible move.

This is equivalent to dropping in status.

For an actor, losing popularity is absolutely a fatal thing.

Although Wang Jinghua didn't know why Li Yun suddenly showed signs of declining popularity, anything can happen in the entertainment industry.

Perhaps this is just life.

Peng Yuyan hesitated to comment on this.

But in the end, he shook his head.

They could only watch Wang Jinghua leave.

"I'll try to get you a role in that patriotic TV series. You can even play a supporting role."

"Mr. Wang, are you referring to 'The Young Students'?"

"You know that, right?" Wang Jinghua wasn't surprised, after all, Peng Yuyan was also a member of the Li family, so there shouldn't be any information gap in this matter.

"I'm trying, but I heard that you have to get into the group based on your merit."

"That's for sure."

Wang Jinghua dared not be negligent in this matter, nor did she dare to make any arrangements for anyone.

Those who work in the entertainment industry tend to believe in fate to some extent.

Like the characters in "The Young Students".

It's really not something that ordinary people can afford.

Whether you get it or not depends on fate.

"Do you think 'The Young Students' is also a youth film?" Peng Yuyan touched her chin at this moment: "Their fiery youth can also be considered youth."

Are you kidding me?

"No, really."

"You're quite humorous," Wang Jinghua paused and said, "Actually, you might as well consider going into comedy in the future."

"Hey"

While Peng Yuyan and Wang Jinghua were learning about it, they also received a message about the project they had rejected, which was related to a movie about children with special needs.

Someone has already taken over.

That person was Li Yun.

Lead actor, director, screenwriter.

Trinity.

It's not uncommon for actors to become directors, but in the end, it's always treated as a joke.

After all, directing and acting are two different professions.

They specialize in different things.

Li Yun has been very annoyed these days. Some of his director friends, including Zhang Dahuzi, have been calling him.

Stop now, Ayun.

You can't handle it.

Although Li Yun knew they meant well, he still patiently explained that his decision was based on a thorough assessment of his own abilities.

The decision was just made.

"Being a director isn't easy. You still have a long life ahead of you; don't waste your youth." Gao Yuanyuan called at that moment. What she wanted to say was that since Li Yun was doing so well as an actor, she should continue doing it.

Go be like Li Yun, who can convincingly portray any character.

Isn't this good?

Li Yun smiled slightly at this.

Thank you, but this is my decision.

"You're really stubborn, but that's exactly how I know you." Gao Yuanyuan's tone was cryptic, but she wasn't too surprised by Li Yun's decision.

Are you free lately?

"I'm busy, I have to film a TV series."

"The much-anticipated coming-of-age film?"

"I guess it's a coming-of-age film."

No problem.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't ask what type of youth film it was. Since Li Yun had chosen it, he must have his reasons.

Afterwards, after talking to Gao Yuanyuan...

He smiled and said.

"Let's meet again sometime. It's been so long, I've realized I miss you quite a bit."

"You want my Bodhisattva form?"

"Yes, I'm craving you."

After Gao Yuanyuan boldly finished speaking, she hung up the phone. In short, she probably just used the phone call as an excuse to persuade herself not to become a director.

Then, Liu Qianqian called.

And Liu Qianqian's first sentence.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, is your movie lacking a female lead?"

"lack."

"Then I'll do it!"

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Upon hearing the news that Li Yun was going to make a movie, Liu Meng and her son both sneered in unison. This was truly overestimating himself. What was the difference between an actor and a director? Didn't he know after being an actor for so long? Was he still so naive?

It's a little ridiculous, isn't it?

"He's making youth films, directing movies, and even writing, directing, and starring in them himself. Who does he think he is?" Li Yichun sneered. Li Yun is just like those arrogant people in the entertainment industry now. He starts to act recklessly after achieving a little success, thinking he's all that great.

It's really quite ridiculous.

"How's the 'Young Students' series going?" Li Yichun asked his mother. Even a spoiled brat like him knew the significance of the TV series.

Being able to show your face here is definitely a great resume.

A resume that most people simply can't match.

Historical television dramas.

It's a resource that all actors crave but can never attain.

Putting aside its special significance, "The Young Students" is already top-tier in terms of production alone.

The standard should be benchmarked against "Bright Sword".

Moreover, the phrase "just like young students" has a very special meaning.

All actors are young, under 30 years old.

The main characters and supporting characters are all young people.

It can be said that only the most talented, promising, and well-connected geniuses from the entire central and Beijing circles would appear in this TV series.

If I can stand out in this drama, I might become a resource for historical dramas in the future.

Therefore, the roles in this TV series were highly sought after by major film and television companies, all in order to pave the way for their own younger generation.

The Li family was not surprised and did indeed secure a role for Li Yichun.

At this moment, Liu Meng smiled slightly, looking somewhat smug.

"Last time we still managed to establish connections with the Mingyao Group's capital. Don't worry, they're not like your father; they still managed to get you a role."

"Cai Sen's henchman?"

Although Li Yichun did not know who Cai Sen was, this historical figure was.

All I know is that Cai Sen is also an important character.

He was his follower.

The chances of getting exposure are definitely plentiful!
