Chapter 304, Something's Wrong with This Stand

Public opinion.

It's both contradictory and amazing.

Cheng Feng's acting was indeed quite good.

His Zhen Zhibing.

The acting was excellent.

Both the air of a superior person and the restrained affection are presented vividly.

At least at this stage, his feelings are more genuine than Yang Guo's.

Some people who disliked Yang Guo even turned to Zhen Zhibing.

Of course, this is only a small part of the voices; the majority of voices are still enthusiastically criticizing.

It was practically a cyberbullying frenzy.

From Li Yun's perspective, this would definitely be considered cyberbullying in later generations.

People of this era aren't that sensitive.

While browsing the forum, Li Yun felt that the criticism was really intense, but the contradiction was that this episode had very high viewership ratings.

It even surpassed the viewership ratings of the premiere.

It seems everyone's understanding is still rather abstract.

They were cursing while watching.

No wonder this scene is always filmed with such care and realism, no matter which version of The Return of the Condor Heroes it is.

Regardless of the plot's development, it's simply that the audience enjoys this kind of work.

Some people praised the scene for its artistic quality, its deep emotions, and its various allusions.

However, it is also related to Liu Qianqian.

He absolutely refuses to film intimate scenes.

Even kisses are filmed using perspective tricks.

She truly embodied the qualities of being pure and immaculate.

"They seem quite engrossed in filming," Gao Yuanyuan praised Zhen Zhibing's acting skills, "but why do they always use side profile shots?"

"Sister Yuanyuan, you've asked a good question."

Liu Qianqian glanced at Li Yun briefly, then blushed slightly.

Seeing the deep affection and gentleness in "Yan Zhibing's" actions on screen, filled with love, one would really feel that they were truly in love if it weren't for the fact that their actions were too frivolous.

"Because this wasn't played by Cheng Feng."

"what?"

"My stunt double did this scene."

"ah??"

Gao Yuanyuan was a little confused.

Yang Guo's double, Zhen Zhibing?

"I never expected that Zhen Zhibing would become the most discussed topic on the forum. That's really something."

Wu Hai watched the lively discussions on the forum and found it somewhat amusing.

I even found it a little funny.

It's unexpected that Zhen Zhibing could cause such a big stir. Firstly, his acting was indeed quite good, and secondly, the character himself is highly controversial.

Especially in this adaptation, he is portrayed as a highly skilled and accomplished individual. Apart from this instance of moral depravity, he is flawless in other aspects, and even defends Yang Guo when everyone is targeting him.

A slightly contradictory feeling in the creation.

But he inflicted the deepest wounds on Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo.

This damage is something he can never make up for.

Every time this part is shown, fans of Little Dragon Girl feel sad and furious, while those perverted NTR enthusiasts revel in ecstasy.

Jin Yong almost got killed because of this plot point back then.

This isn't just empty talk from keyboard warriors online; the real executioners are already at the door.

That's how it should be.

This time, public opinion will also be like this, with bursts of anger followed by calm as the plot unfolds. The only constant is the audience's attitude towards the various characters.

They pity Xiaolongnu, hate the dragon knight, and mock Yang Guo.

We are all just ordinary people.

You are pure and innocent, and your love is heart-wrenching, but your virginity was taken by the dragon knight.

That's a flaw.

An indelible flaw, a mortal imperfection.

Public opinion is still developing.

Wu Hai is about to start deleting posts; these guys are so annoying, it's really irritating.

Some even cheered for Zhen Zhibing.

"Looking at it this way, Yang Guo seems a bit green."

"Isn't that just how he is? He's a womanizer, and the result is that he gets cheated on."

"Oh, my apprehension!"

The forum members were laughing and celebrating.

Curses and insults rose and fell.

Even Wu Hai himself felt that Yang Guo was quite pitiful, since everyone is just an ordinary person.

Everyone loves using the "dragon knight" meme.

On the second day of the public outcry, a video was suddenly released.

Public opinion suddenly exploded again.

Even Wu Hai found the video somewhat unbelievable.

What?!

Zhen Zhibing, is he played by Yang Guo?

What was revealed at this time was the behind-the-scenes footage of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

The scene that originally featured many side profile shots has now been replaced with full-face shots.

The close-up shot shows Zhen Zhibing, who is clearly Li Yun!

He's clearly the actor who played Yang Guo!

"Yang Guo's double dragon knight?"

"Yang Guo is the true Dragon Knight!"

Zhang Dahuzi's version of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

So sexy!

When the news broke, a reversal followed.

Originally, everyone was mocking Yang Guo, the victim, and cursing Zhen Zhibing, the frivolous man.

But when this matter was exposed.

Suddenly, public opinion exploded. An unprecedented and outrageous move: Dragon Knight used a stand-in, and Yang was used as the stand-in.

No wonder I always felt that the two of them were somewhat different in build.

I thought it was my imagination, but it turns out that the sex scene with Zhen Zhibing was actually performed by a body double.

Moreover, the stunt double was played by the actor who played Yang Guo.

So here's the problem.

Did Zhen Zhibing actually blaspheme against Xiaolongnu?

After all, it was the actor who played Yang Guo who disrespected Xiaolongnu.

So after all that back and forth, there shouldn't be any more NTR (Netorare) issues, right?

The person who could express such affection was not Zhen Zhibing, but Yang Guo.

In the storyline, Yang Guo lost.

But outside the storyline, Yang Guo didn't lose!

No, Yang Guo still lost; in the story, he was the one who suffered the most.

How can someone who is extremely unlucky and suffering such a terrible fate be considered a winner?

And so another argument broke out on the forum.

The public discussion has never stopped.

This time, Zhang Dahuzi's version of The Return of the Condor Heroes is doing something very new.

A job that no one had ever thought could be done before.

That means having Yang go and become Zhen Zhibing's stand-in.

He acted very well.

As viewers, we all felt a sense of confusion.

Is he Yang Guo or Zhen Zhibing?

It's really hard to tell them apart.

Now, fans of The Return of the Condor Heroes don't know whether to praise or criticize.

It's mentally distressing to watch.

"You're doing something really new."

"Can I take this as a compliment?"

"I'd call it a compliment, since the effect is quite impressive so far." Jiang Wei paused and said, "I really admire you. How did you choose Li Yun to play Yang Guo?"

Perhaps someone is more suitable than him.

But as things stand at the moment...

No one else could possibly achieve the same effect as Li Yun.

That's absolutely shocking.

Regardless of whether he is Yang Guo.

She was also the singer and arranger of the theme song.

Or perhaps, it turns out that Zhen Zhibing's loving actions and demeanor were all acted out by Yang Guo.

It was all acted out by Li Yun.

"The behind-the-scenes footage isn't over yet," Zhang Dahuzi joked. "There's more footage, more exposure, about this Xiao Li, and his current situation."

"What else hasn't been revealed?"

Jin Yong was somewhat puzzled at this moment. He was now somewhat numb from the shock and had to admit that Li Yun truly deserved the title of actor.

He is an actor.

An actor with excellent acting skills.

Now they're saying he still has things that haven't been exposed?

What else is not being revealed?

"This young Li did a lot of work on the set of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

Then Zhang Dahuzi took out some videos from his private collection, which were not broadcast and were some behind-the-scenes clips from the film crew.

"You even kept it as a private keepsake." Jiang Wei was somewhat taken aback when he saw the videotape, but then Zhang Da Huzi played it.

But this surprised them even more.

This time, it wasn't Zhen Zhibing who appeared.

It's not Yang Guo either.

Instead, it is Li Yun, who is no longer that character, but a Taoist priest, a genuine and highly accomplished Taoist master.

The ethereal and otherworldly Taoist scriptures are being recited.

He was unlike any ordinary person.

Yes, it is.

This is what a Taoist priest looks like, deep in the mountains.

"What's wrong with his expression?" Jiang Wei was taken aback.

"Can't you see?" Zhang Dahuzi said with some emotion, "The entire cast of actors playing the Quanzhen Sect members all imitated the characters by watching Li Yun."

From the leader of the Quanzhen Sect to Zhen Zhibing.

Their expressions, language, and actions.

All of these were achieved by imitating Li Yun.

This is truly shocking.

There was a strange and awe-inspiring feeling.

It turns out that Li Yun is not only Yang Guo, but also Zhen Zhibing. (This only applies to the flirtatious part.)

Now it could be the Taoist priests of Zhongnan Mountain.

His acting skills perfectly express all the ever-changing aspects of life.

"So, those Taoist priests on Zhongnan Mountain acted with such a superior demeanor, and you're telling me they all imitated Yang Guo?" Jin Yong was also somewhat shocked at this moment. Although he personally had some opinions about Taoism, he couldn't deny that a superior person was superior because of their unique temperament, a temperament that others did not have.

This group of highly accomplished people from Zhongnan Mountain, at least when they are chanting scriptures and practicing Taoism, do not have the slightest bit of vulgarity.

"I thought the consultants you hired were real Taoist priests from Zhongnan Mountain."

"Now, the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen School have all become tourist attraction staff. How many of them are truly masters? Even if there are, they won't be our advisors."

"So the expert consultant you hired is Li Yun."

"As you can see, it is right before your eyes."

"I admire him, I truly admire his talent as an actor," Jin Yong mused. He was quite impressive; he could no longer regard Li Yun as a junior.

One is in the entertainment industry.

A rising star in its own cultural sphere.

"So he did all the work of your assistant director?" Jiang Wei suddenly asked.

At this moment, Zhang Da Huzi sighed and asked in return.

"So when everyone thought it was a pipe dream for Xiao Li to switch to writing, directing, and acting in his own films."

"That's what I think."

"It seems like it's not entirely impossible for him."
