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

Chapter 300, He's Already Taken Shape in My Heart

the other side.

A tea party was being held at Zhang Dahuzi's home, where people were enjoying tea and chatting.

Li Yun was at home, playing with his dog and listening to the sound of a TV series. Although he didn't watch it, he couldn't be without background noise, and these background sounds made him feel comfortable.

Whether it was the uproar over "The Return of the Condor Heroes" or the current situation with "The Crucible", Li Yun temporarily put them all out of his mind.

Next to him are superstars and directors.

These personalities are beside him.

Never to be separated from.

Especially the personality of a superstar, it can also be used as a portable music player, and occasionally it will talk to itself about singing.

Although she is not a professional singer, she seems to have acquired some of the vocal techniques and skills that only singers possess through exposure to the world around her.

pretty good.

At least this way, I can save a lot of money when I make the theme song in the future.

That would save a lot of trouble.

Hiring singers to perform and arranging music isn't exactly cheap.

Meanwhile, Liu Qianqian was playing with the cats and dogs, but she looked somewhat disappointed.

In today's online parlance, Liu Qianqian's situation would be called cyberbullying.

Violence originating from the internet.

This caused the young girl immense suffering.

"When a girl is subjected to violence, she will subconsciously look for her safe haven. Did you notice? Her safe haven seems to be right here." The director kept rambling on, his words perhaps tinged with a hint of mockery.

Li Yun was too lazy to pay attention to him. As for now, Liu Qianqian's mood definitely needed comforting.

But she was not a weak woman in the conventional sense.

After the initial disappointment, I had many more thoughts, and I was deep in thought.

How should we perform the next piece?

What kind of work should I act in?

As far as Liu Qianqian was concerned, as long as she was still in China, she would stick with Li Yun.

She had a strange feeling about Li Yun.

At least in terms of acting.

Instinct told Liu Qianqian that following Brother Li couldn't be a mistake.

That's what the girl was thinking.

At least as an actor, his achievements are trustworthy.

Everything he pursued made the girl trust him without any reason, and that feeling was quite wonderful and magical.

That feeling of trust from the bottom of one's heart.

"It's all my fault. Otherwise, our 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' production team wouldn't have faced so much resistance." Liu Qianqian said helplessly.

I never expected it to be her mother.

In reality, they didn't do anything; they just removed the resources that were protecting her.

It turns out I'm not a real heartthrob after all.

There was just a fig leaf covering my face.

It's just so I won't have to face this real world alone.

So this is Liu Tianxian from before.

This name.

It also requires real money to maintain.

This thing even sounds a little cruel.

But it's something everyone has to face.

The cruelty we all have to face.

"Even without Auntie, our journey as the Condor Heroes couple would have faced considerable obstacles and endured extraordinary pressure."

Li Yun is right about that.

Pressure from public opinion.

It wasn't all brought by Liu Qianqian's family.

The Return of the Condor Heroes also faces considerable public pressure.

Fans of the original work, an excellent predecessor, and Zhang Dahuzi's somewhat forceful adaptation.

There are also controversies surrounding the roles.

These are all things that The Return of the Condor Heroes will face.

These are all situations that this TV series will face.

It can be said that everyone from the lead actors to the director and other key creative personnel was under pressure.

"Then why aren't you worried, Brother Li?" Liu Qianqian looked at Li Yun's calm expression, which was so nonchalant.

"Because no matter what, a work of art is meant to be seen by people, to provide the audience with a quality that they can actually see. These are the most important things that a work of art needs."

"I have confidence in Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, and I also have confidence in The Return of the Condor Heroes."

"Let the audience judge all of this."

Looking at Li Yun, who was glowing, Liu Qianqian felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

I'm currently stuck on this.

It's simply that nobody likes me anymore.

Or perhaps I've discovered that people don't really like me.

Why should I dwell on this?

I am an actor.

I let my work speak for itself.

The noise on the internet shows no sign of stopping.

The current popularity of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is both negative and positive.

It has a blackish-red feel to it.

The reason this TV series is so popular is because it is indeed very popular and has the unparalleled advantage of being based on a source material.

It must be admitted that The Return of the Condor Heroes remains the largest existing martial arts IP.

Or rather, Jin Yong.

He is the largest existing martial arts IP author.

Even though Jin Yong is now very old, no one has yet surpassed him in the realm of popular martial arts novels.

not yet.

The large audience ensured that its ratings would not be bad, or at least the initial ratings would definitely not be bad.

However, decent ratings do not guarantee victory or a satisfactory outcome.

These adaptations also depend on word-of-mouth.

The adaptations in recent years have not all been smooth sailing.

Initial ratings do not represent the full ratings.

If the average viewership rating is significantly lower than the initial rating, and the performance-based agreement is not fulfilled, it could trigger a very unfortunate chain reaction.

This is bad news, at least for the production company.

Zhang Dahuzi is under some pressure now, but he has Mr. Jin's endorsement when it comes to script adaptation.

Regarding the overall cast announcement.

There will be a revised version of the Golden Book.

This shows that Mr. Jin Yong personally approved the script for this drama!

This is very important.

This is very important for The Return of the Condor Heroes, which has undergone some adaptation.

"I didn't expect you to invite Mr. Jin Yong as well." Jiang Wei looked at Mr. Jin Yong in front of him, his words showing respect.

A martial arts master, he owns half of the IP adaptations.

He holds an unparalleled position in the industry and is a transcendent script producer.

Such a revered status.

That's Mr. Jin.

"Don't call me 'sir,' I'm just an old man who loves reading and writing." Jin Yong smiled slightly. Having stopped writing for many years, he now prefers to talk to others as a reader.

By the way, the last time the lockdown was lifted was when the script for Murong Fu was being revised.

It's amazing that I would change the script because of a child actor.

Completely let go of the role.

"You didn't come to visit the set this time for The Return of the Condor Heroes. When I talked to Xiao Li about you, he said he missed you a lot," Zhang Dahuzi teased.

"Look at how old I am! I could still walk a few years ago, but now I'm too old to walk anymore."

Mr. Jin Yong smiled gently at this moment.

As Mr. Jin Yong grew older, his thinking also changed, and he began to reflect more on himself and his characters.

"Mr. Jin, I have a question I'm curious about that I'd like to ask you."

Jiang Wei said this with a hint of curiosity in his voice, even though he came from a background of making spy dramas and wanted to become a director with official connections in the future.

But Jin Yong's martial arts novels also permeated the first half of his life.

I read the novel in the newspaper, and then went to Hong Kong to experience the martial arts characters from the novel vividly on the screen for the first time.

He has been paying attention to all of them.

"Ask away, Mr. Jiang."

"Actually, you can call me Xiao Jiang."

"What I want to ask you is, what were your thoughts on the casting choices for The Return of the Condor Heroes?" Currently, the most discussion outside the industry revolves around the casting.

Jiang Wei was curious about what Jin Yong was thinking.

Regarding the current lineup and cast.

What are his thoughts?

"What do you mean by that?" Jin Yong smiled.

"Some people outside say that you are actually not satisfied with the casting of this lead role," Jiang Wei said after a pause.

Zhang Da Huzi was also listening nearby; in fact, he had heard the rumor before.

No, this is not just a rumor.

Jin Yong did indeed have some reservations about this Yang Guo.

Do you know when I met Xiao Li?

"have no idea."

"It's Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." Jin Yong said seriously at this moment, "I learned about Li Yun during a set visit when Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils aired last time."

Jiang Wei thought for a moment, could it be a personal grudge?

However, I heard that Mr. Jin Yong had a very high opinion of that version of Murong Fu.

In fact, Mr. Jin Yong only praised that version of Murong Fu, and he did so here without reservation, giving it a very high evaluation and not holding back his praise.

"He is exactly the image of my cousin in my heart, without a doubt!"

"Then why do you have so many complaints about it?" Jiang Wei just couldn't figure it out.

Jin Yong's answer surprised and shocked him; it was an answer he had never thought of before.

An answer that even if you smashed his brain, he wouldn't have come up with.

"Because this character is too perfect, so perfect that I can't even imagine what he would be like besides Murong Fu. You know what? In my eyes, he is that one and only cousin, a Murong Fu that no one can surpass."

Jin Yong's gentle and detailed narration.

Jiang Wei was shocked. He considered 1 possible answers to understand Jin Yong's dissatisfaction with him.

The only thing I didn't expect was...

Mr. Jin Yong was not dissatisfied with Li Yun's attitude.

It's not because the character he played in another of his works was too perfect.

So much so that even Mr. Jin Yong couldn't regard him as anyone else.

In Jin Yong's world, Li Yun is Murong Fu; he cannot be anyone else, nor will he be anyone else.

In his world, Murong Fu's image has been fixed as Li Yun, and conversely, Li Yun's image has been completely bound to Murong Fu.

This is why he didn't like Li Yun playing Yang Guo.

A very simple reason.
