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

Chapter 287, Goodbye, Comrade

Outsiders' feelings can be subjective.

But the actors' perspectives on the situation are actually quite objective.

Who draws you into the story, who stirs your emotions—these things, these emotions, can be considered quite objective.

Even Zhang Yu, who was originally responsible for setting the mood and guiding the pace, was able to clearly understand this matter.

Many things cannot be denied simply by saying so.

"Impressive." Xu Fang and Ye Bingqing approached Li Yun, looking at this self-taught actor they had once looked down upon.

He led the professionally trained people present, carrying their emotions with him as he walked.

"It's such an amazing feeling," Qian Fangfang murmured beside her. "I couldn't even memorize it properly when I was a kid, but just now, I was able to move along with the rhythm without any hindrance. It's such an amazing feeling."

Zhang Yu looked at Li Yun

Then he left, his eyes unreadable.

"Thanks."

"No need." Li Yun smiled slightly, then switched back to Cai Sen's demeanor.

Zhang Yu was completely stunned by how seamlessly he switched between being in and out of character.

Finally, he could only say with a complicated expression.

"sharp."

I concede defeat.

Liu Qun, on the other side, was completely baffled.

"What's wrong? Zhang Yu got his rhythm stolen, and now he has to thank Li Yun?"

According to Liu Qun, a proud and arrogant young man like Zhang Yu should be angry that his spotlight and rhythm have been stolen.

Stealing the spotlight is a major taboo, especially without the director's permission; it's essentially a provocative act.

Often, the conflict in a drama is triggered by a scene that steals the show.

Liu Qun had originally planned to act as a peacemaker, but he didn't end up doing so.

Because of the contradictions and conflicts, it never even started.

"Zhang Yu is an arrogant person; that's just part of his personality," Gong Ruofei said calmly. "How could someone who achieves early success not be arrogant?"

"Yes, so I'm just trying to prevent them from having conflicts."

"But being proud and arrogant doesn't mean being ungrateful. Because of their pride and arrogance, they understand a principle better. Haven't you noticed? Even Zhang Yu's emotions were stirred up by Li Yun, making his performance even better."

"To completely convince this outstanding student who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama."

I dislike Li Yun's attention-stealing behavior, but I have to admit it.

This actor is so good at acting that he himself is completely immersed in the role.

At this moment, Zhang Yu had given up on leading the way in the drama; he knew he couldn't control the pace.

The effect of immersing oneself in the role and performing it only results in the feeling of a minor tyrant on stage.

And what was the result of Li Yun's immersion and dedication to the role?

It allows everyone, including Zhang Yu himself, to deeply and truly feel this vast land.

Fragments of his history.

In one's own mind.

Within one's own feelings.

The shattered landscape lies beneath our feet.

How can we, the youth, not strive to improve ourselves?

"Who rules the fate of this vast land?"

When the boys shouted this in unison.

Filming for "Just Like Us" has officially wrapped.

This era, rarely photographed, was 1913, a time of national turmoil and national devastation, a time of anger.

The story of the boy ends in his youth.

Although these people still have a future.

But now, all they need to do is roar and ask who rules the vast land.

"On this vast land, who will determine its fate?"

Li Yun looked at Zhang Yu, Xu Fang, Ye Bingqing, and Qian Fangfang.

Use your lungs to draw in air and shout out this sentence.

Go and roar with unrestrained joy.

roar.

The feeling was so exhilarating, so incredibly satisfying.

When this movie wrapped up filming.

Ye Bingqing cried.

She said to Li Yun.

Can you please not leave?

She's so immersed in the role that she's completely lost sight of her own feelings.

But Li Yun knew that he ultimately did not belong to this era.

Shake his head.

"How should I put it? I don't even know how to describe you."

When filming wrapped up.

The entire crew was in a complicated state of mind, shrouded in gloom.

After all, everyone was engrossed in it.

This is also a drawback of immersive actors.

If you get too deeply involved, you won't be able to pull yourself out.

What Li Yun did was to make the methodological prodigies present feel like immersive practitioners.

Indeed, it allowed the entire crew to perform exceptionally well, even confusing those outside the crew.

Gong Ruofei also found it unbelievable. As the director, he not only lost control of the situation, but he himself also became somewhat addicted to the reality of this world.

If I keep filming like this, I'll really go insane.

This is how Gong Ruofei herself feels.

This is what it feels like to work with Li Yun, that monster.

If the director is like this, then what about the actors in the film?

Their reactions provided the answer.

Not to mention Zhang Yu, who is an immersive actor himself, who can truly determine the fate of this vast land?

I was a young student.

This feeling is so intense that I can't escape it, I can't break free from it.

However, as the one who triggered the immersion, Li Yun was drawing blood very quickly.

He was clearly the most immersed.

But the extraction speed is also the fastest.

It happened so fast that there was no warning at all.

"Because I am who I am, and Cai Sen is Cai Sen. I am the actor who plays him." Li Yun paused before replying, "I am Li Yun, a handsome male actor."

Yes, just when everyone had forgotten about Li Yun.

Then it suddenly dawned on me.

His name is Li Yun.

She is an actor.

He's a rising star actor, and incredibly handsome.

When Li Yun introduced himself, he emphasized that he was extremely handsome.

"How did he get so immersed in Cai Sen?" At this moment, Liu Qun's lips twitched. He finally understood why Zhang Yu initially thought Li Yun couldn't immerse himself in the role; his personality did indeed seem a bit carefree and frivolous.

This personality is completely different from Cai Sen's.

But if we have to point out a contradiction...

Li Yun incorporated these seemingly unrelated personality traits into his character.

Put that personality into it.

He became Cai Sen.

That's a monster.

At this moment, Gong Ruofei and Liu Quncai exchanged a glance.

I recalled the scene when Li Yichun caused a scene on set at the beginning, saying that Li Yun was mentally ill.

Now it seems he might not have known.

But it's really easy to drive someone crazy.

"Who controls the rise and fall of this vast land?"

The entire play ends at this moment.

For Li Yun, Cai Sen also ended here, completely separating from him.

Li Yun stands on the cliff in this final scene, facing the night wind.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the waves are surging.

Actually, Li Yun didn't have any particular feelings about it.

That's not actually the case.

In fact, there are.

The other actors simply confused themselves with their true selves.

What about Li Yun?

For me, Cai Sen was more like a friend, a classmate. When he was in class, I was in class too; when he was facing the vast earth, I was facing it as well.

He and I are friends and classmates.

He was radiant and dashing, while I stood by and watched him silently.

He is a man destined for greatness.

And I, Li Yun

"You are all great heroes. Although I can play your roles well, I can never become you."

Although the period of "When We Were Young" ended in a sunny atmosphere.

Who controls the rise and fall of this vast land?

Their youthful passion was surging, filled with hope and longing for the future, but their ending was not so good.

Cai Sen died at the age of 35.

Not only Cai Sen, but also Xiang Jingyu.

The vows made by this loving couple, including the promise of a 10-year long-term commitment, ultimately amounted to nothing but a bubble.

Not only him, but among those who shouted together on the cliff, asking who would rule the vast land, few survived.

Some people also parted ways due to subsequent differences in their philosophies.

Most of the others perished in their youth.

Li Yun asked.

Is this cruel to you?

I won't live to see that time.

Live long enough to witness it.

He said it wasn't cruel.

As long as that fire can be passed down.

Even if this timeframe is long enough to span almost a generation.

Goodbye, comrade.
