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

Chapter 318, The Astounding Acting Skills

Li Yun opened her eyes and found that her bed was warm and cozy.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a beautiful woman had entered his arms. Her warm, soft body filled his heart.

Did I act like a male bodhisattva last night?

Damn it, I didn't feel anything at all.

Li Yun felt extremely regretful. Why had she slept so soundly last night?

He didn't even know he had become a male bodhisattva?

However, Li Yun seemed to have noticed himself as well; his pants were intact.

Very complete.

In other words, although he was shamefully attacked at night yesterday, nothing actually happened.

She stayed here quietly last night.

"You're awake?"

"You're awake." Li Yun paused for a moment before saying, "You're up pretty early too."

"Actually, I didn't sleep at all last night."

Gao Yuanyuan opened her eyes.

He just stared at Li Yun.

I won't say anything more.

They are currently working undercover on a film set.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan's attitude towards Li Yun was indeed similar to Zuo Lan's attitude towards Yu Zecheng.

Gao Yuanyuan now.

She is also Zuo Lan.

She is Zuo Lan.

The woman who had a complicated relationship with Yu Zecheng.

Zuo Lan, Wang Cuiping, and Wanqiu.

These three women were present throughout Yu Zecheng's life.

As a spy drama, it does indeed depict the struggle between two opposing beliefs, as well as the tender emotions between men and women amidst the flames of war.

Love for one's children is deep and tender.

At first, Yu Zecheng encountered Zuo Lan, and he had a spiritual connection with this woman.

She was also the woman Yu Zecheng most wanted to marry.

Afterwards, Yu Zecheng went to Tianjing, while Zuo Lan became the representative of Yan'an.

A reunion after separation.

The two sides are already hostile to each other.

But Yu Zecheng actually knew that he was also from Yan'an, but he couldn't tell anyone.

Zuo Lan was indeed very disappointed.

The person you love is on a completely opposite path to you.

Is there anything more tragic than this?

At least for Zuo Lan, seeing Yu Zecheng, who was still working for the Military Intelligence Bureau, at the press conference was a pleasant experience.

Yu Zecheng, disguised as a reporter, asked very pointed questions.

Isn't your lateness disrespectful to the peace talks?

Zuo Lan, however, produced a list.

Aren't you the ones hindering the peace talks?

The hotel where I'm staying, from the owner to the staff, is staffed entirely by your Military Intelligence Bureau.

You are the ones who are least willing to sit down and talk.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

This list made Station Chief Wu lose face; it was a confidential list, after all.

How did it end up on Zuo Lan's hand?

Zuo Lan and Yu Zecheng made eye contact at this moment.

His eyes conveyed a myriad of emotions.

There was disappointment and a sense of loss.

But what she didn't know in the end was...

This list was provided by Yu Zecheng.

He is the Emei Peak of Yan'an.

Emotional entanglements.

In the grand scheme of things, personal feelings and love are insignificant.

This is one of the emotions that the work wants to express.

This is also one of the reasons why the character Zuo Lan exists.

Gao Yuanyuan could sense it.

The joy that erupted when Zuo Lan recognized Yu Zecheng, completely opened her heart, and confirmed that they were not on the opposite side.

This completely overshadowed the feelings of Gao Yuanyuan and Zuo Lan.

That feeling of joy that comes from the bottom of one's heart, that emotion.

That makes people feel deeply.

The director could sense it too.

"You can't act out this feeling without love, right?"

Jiang Wei gave this assessment.

He would then be able to see the love within it.

The love engraved within.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuanyuan is also such an excellent actress.

This kind of love.

Is it acting skills?

Let's just assume he is.

At least that's the feeling of their love.

Jiang Wei was an audience member during the performance.

As a director.

It's true, I'm so happy for their reunion.

It's wonderful that as a couple in love, we can avoid standing on opposing faiths.

But Zuo Lan wasn't the only one entangled with Yu Zecheng.

And then there's late autumn.

There's also Wang Cuiping.

In late autumn, she understands romance and poetry, but not the greater good of the nation. Now she only thinks of the sorrow of a fallen country, singing "The Flowers of the Rear Courtyard" across the river.

Wang Cuiping doesn't understand romance; she only understands national righteousness. She's as rough as a wild bull, but in reality, she's an excellent soldier.

Zuo Lan, the only female protagonist to sacrifice herself.

She was both a romantic and a skilled warrior, with her own beliefs and a fighting spirit for them.

But she died, she died on the path of her faith.

He died in front of Wang Cuiping.

It's okay, comrade.

You can go first, I'll cover your retreat.

Then he and Ma Kui perished together.

Liang Xiang and Gao Yuanyuan finished filming their scenes here.

What would Yu Zecheng's emotions be upon seeing Zuo Lan's death?

Of course, there was no emotion involved.

In the morgue, Li Yun's performance was completely devoid of emotion, without a single tear or muscle movement; he was as still as a stone.

Natural stones.

I am sorry for your loss.

For everyone at Tianjing Station, it's perfectly normal to go and offer condolences after your ex-girlfriend dies.

Yu Zecheng said he felt nothing.

After all, those are all things of the past. If every one of my romantic entanglements had to cause me such sorrow, how could I possibly go on living?

Yu Zecheng even laughed.

He laughed nonchalantly.

It seems like she really was just an ex-girlfriend with whom I had a very lukewarm relationship.

Station Master Wu looked at Yu Zecheng meaningfully and smiled.

I'm happy that you can take it so well, as your boss.

Yu Zecheng returned home.

She even fell asleep quite calmly.

There wasn't even the slightest sound of crying.

Not even a tiny bit.

As a secret agent.

Even sleeping requires following certain rules.

Even sadness is.

Only when I'm asleep.

Tears still streamed down my face, defying the rules.

This scene deeply moved the actors present, who went beyond the script and performed in their own unique ways.

This is outside the script.

Completely unexpected.

How could silent sorrow, the restrained expression of emotion, be so genuine?

The power of faith is truly immense.

Even sadness can be controlled so well.

Zuo Lan asked, "Will you forget me?"

Yu Zecheng smiled slightly and said no.

"Won't."

"I can't forget it."

"I'm truly impressed by his acting skills." Liang Xiang, who had just finished filming, had a complicated look in his eyes. At first, he really didn't believe that Li Yun could put on a convincing performance, but so far, the effect of his performance has been unexpectedly good.

It's so good it's breathtaking.

It's so good it's unbelievable.

That kind of shocking tactile sensation.

That kind of intense, overwhelming sadness in the performance.

Silent weeping.

A tearful outburst tinged with discipline.

That feeling of inner faith.

"Indeed, I didn't expect this new generation actor to achieve such a level, or rather, I didn't expect an actor from the general public to achieve such a level. Perhaps our old leader really made a mistake," Feng He'en said at this moment.

He and Li Yun had many scenes together.

If I had to give an evaluation...

This was probably the first time in his 20 years of acting that he had felt this good.

He used to drive all the time by himself.

But it's always a bit lonely when you're alone.

There was someone of the same level who challenged him.

That feeling was unparalleled.

Unparalleled exhilaration.

"My former boss said a lot of bad things about me, which may be the source of my prejudice."

"You're not saying anything bad about the old leader, you're just being prejudiced," Feng He'en said to Liang Xiang, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Liang Xiang looked embarrassed.

They didn't say anything.

It was indeed his own fault.

This is probably a common problem among actors within the system.

People outside the system often seem to gain fame not entirely because of their own abilities, or even if they are not.

"There's nothing we can do; that's just how the leaders at our August First Film Studio see it," Feng He'en said, both amused and exasperated.

Before filming began, the people at the August First Film Studio were very excited.

Unlike the Aerospace Force.

The August First Film Studio tends to view actors outside the system with more prejudice.

Or rather, there's a greater bias against works outside the system.

They weren't targeting Li Yun.

The attitude is directed at works outside the system. In the view of the entire August First Film Studio, if we want to restore the glory of Chinese cinema and promote cultural and entertainment works in China, we should fully nationalize them. Privately owned works are of varying quality, prioritize profit, and are driven by money, so they are destined not to produce great works.

Privatization is a cancer.

The special organization that the Aerospace Force has created this time is the beginning of its decline, and the August 1st Army has been quite critical of the cultural troupe there.

After all, this was a special formation.

It has a similar feel to the public-private partnership of the last century.

It's somewhat like the privatization of state-owned assets.

It's no wonder that people feel resistant to it.

The actors from the August First Film Studio came here with the same idea and attitude.

The film "The Young Students" also used many folk actors, and the inclusion of Li Yun, a member of a mixed cast, also caused some dissatisfaction among the leaders of the August First Film Studio.

Folk actors are not as good as those with official positions.

It's really better to reorganize and use them in a comprehensive way.

But after filming "Lurking," regardless of how my thinking changed or how much my prejudice against amateur actors lessened.

At least Li Yun, who is like Yu Zecheng, still has Zuo Lan.

This convinced them.

"It seems that it's not as our old leader said, that actors outside the system are all profit-driven people," Feng He'en said after a pause.

Liang Xiang, who was standing next to him, also agreed.

but.

He was no less prejudiced against commercial capital in the entertainment industry.

If he had to say something, from his perspective, only those within the formal employment system qualify as "excellent."

He also believes that only with the participation of those within the system can a truly good work be presented wholeheartedly.

No matter how you look at it, the motivations of actors in the private sector are all about pursuing fame and fortune.

The purpose is no longer pure.

How can profound ideas and good works be born if the purpose is not pure?
