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

Chapter 320, Pain and Pleasure

Working with Li Yun is a bittersweet experience.

This immersive atmosphere gave him a distinct and incomparably joyful feeling.

Acting is one of his sources of happiness.

They truly dedicated themselves to this profession and loved it.

I never felt before that doing this was a burden or a responsibility.

Now I can feel this mental pressure.

Because it's so real, so genuine.

The mental stress caused by Li Yun.

The pressure from the TV series "Lurking".

That's exactly it. Or rather, truly?

That sense of authenticity gave him a more genuine feeling, whether it was about the script or the character, a feeling he had never experienced before.

This feeling is so real.

In terms of getting into character and acting.

It is indeed a rare benefit.

But outside of acting.

But after filming this scene...

Feng He'en then felt a deep, visceral understanding.

This kind of pressure penetrates to the bone.

Let him feel and understand.

I'm just filming a movie, so no matter how much pressure I'm under, it's all illusory.

But the spies back then.

The pressure they bear cannot be explained in just a few words.

Life is like a play, and a play is like life.

For us, it's all acting.

But for the spies of that time, it was a precarious part of their lives. These nameless, invisible guardians might not even have their names known after their deaths.

But they.

"If I had to pinpoint the biggest change Xiao Li brought to me, it would probably be for someone like me who has spent my entire life acting in war dramas."

At this moment, Feng He'en raised his glass in a toast.

This glass of wine used to be like this.

Respectfully dedicated to the director and crew.

This glass of wine today.

But we also pay tribute to those unseen guardians.

Protect our motherland.

Guardians from the past who protect the people.

After the wrap party.

Li Yun brought Yu Zecheng to Tianjing Station, where they filmed a short scene that had been going on for almost a quarter of the year.

"We filmed a lot of big scenes, but actually the smaller the scene, the harder it is to film. That's really the truth."

There was no such person as Yu Zecheng in history.

But he is based on a real person.

Many prototypes.

The invisible guardians are not fictional, but rather a combination of several well-known Chinese spies.

Li Yun felt that when he was acting...

The emotions of the characters will be influenced in reverse.

You can feel their joys and sorrows.

Their joys and sorrows, their partings and reunions.

So vivid!

Yu Zecheng's faith was just that firm.

Their determination was so unwavering that it seemed almost unbearable.

Only then could they endure so many years of suffering.

Even sleeping is subject to discipline.

Li Yun could not do that level of self-payment.

But that doesn't stop Li Yun from having absolute respect for such a person.

I have absolute respect for such a person.

After all, I understand this feeling myself.

Such empathy.

So clear and obvious.

"We've gotten along fairly well during this time."

"I thought you wouldn't like someone like me who has no faith," Li Yun teased at that moment.

Occasionally.

Li Yun would still talk to Yu Zecheng more often.

He doesn't seem like a good friend.

Yes, who would want to be a close friend to a spy? Even Yu Zecheng knew that, given his status, it would be very difficult to find a true confidant.

However, Yu Zecheng had no intention of becoming friends with Li Yun.

The same applies to Li Yun.

Yu Zecheng stood in front of Li Yun.

Li Yun asked him a question.

I asked this question very seriously.

Old Yu.

If you were given another chance, would you go to Taiwan with Station Chief Wu before the liberation of Nanjing?

In fact, when Beijing was liberated.

Yu Zecheng's mission was already successfully completed. He could have been promoted and lived a happy life with Wang Cuiping.

Many children.

A courtyard.

A few chickens.

That's their entire life.

There will be no more deceit and treachery, and no more need to follow discipline even in one's sleep.

This is how life should be.

It's so wonderful, isn't it?

if.

What if I told you that all of this is possible?

If I told you that if you had just recognized Wang Cuiping back then and hadn't boarded the plane to Taiwan...

You can.

You could live such a successful and accomplished life, and you wouldn't have to suffer a tragic early death.

Li Yun eagerly awaited Yu Zecheng's reply.

I really hope Yu Zecheng will say that.

Ok.

It's wonderful to be able to live the life I've always dreamed of.

He has been in pain for too long.

If I could give him another chance.

That would be wonderful.

"It's very tempting." Yu Zecheng joked at this moment, "This is the life I've been dreaming of, and the life I promised Wang Cuiping, the life I wanted to give her."

"So choose this one, don't get on that plane."

Yu Zecheng then chose to follow Station Master Wu.

Go to Taiwan.

Li Yun said you won't have a good ending. As a spy, if you don't know when to quit while you're ahead, you'll eventually be brought down.

Just because you can stay undetected at Tianjing Station for 5 years doesn't mean you can stay undetected on the entire island of Taiwan.

In fact, once you went to that place, you exposed yourself in less than three years.

You are already dead.

Betrayed by a traitor.

All the spies there were also eliminated.

Deep behind enemy lines to reach the enemy's headquarters is by no means an easy task.

You didn't win forever.

Yu Zecheng.

"Really? Betrayed by a traitor?" Yu Zecheng exclaimed. "Then it seems it wasn't because I was too weak. That's great."

In the end...

Yu Zecheng's reflections would be like this.

An angle that Li Yun could never have imagined.

Li Yun smiled too.

So that's why Yu Zecheng made his choice.

An expected choice.

To paraphrase Station Master Wu.

Really.

It has a rather romantic feel to it.

[Mental Strength +10]

Constitution +5

[Pure acting skills +5]

[Firm Faith: You felt the power of faith in Yu Zecheng; he possessed the qualities that enabled him to persevere through suffering and accomplish great things that ordinary people could not.]

A spirit of unwavering faith.

Li Yun felt

One's own belief in "fame and fortune" is actually a kind of firm belief.

Li Yun thought to himself.

"I never expected that I would be able to find such similarities between myself and Yu Zecheng."

Li Yun found this both amusing and exasperating.

Pure acting skills +5.

Li Yun was quite impressed by this.

As an immersive actor, I am able to personify those things and use them for my own purposes.

But in fact.

Acting skills are still the foundation for fully expressing the limits of one's personality.

To utilize one's acting skills.

The things I have come to understand through years of performing.

Li Yun felt that she needed to improve her acting skills.

Will this allow me to approach the level of veteran actors and top-tier national performers in terms of acting skills?

This time, acting alongside national-level actors made Li Yun realize that the difficulty of acting with them is actually comparable to that of acting with veteran film and television emperors.

Even some of the TV and film stars he has worked with are not as good as veteran actors like Feng He'en in terms of pure acting skills.

The title of "national-level" is not something that can be achieved by bragging.

It is indeed true that only those with solid skills can achieve such results and accomplishments.

Their strength is beyond doubt.

It possesses unparalleled strength.

If my acting skills can be elevated to the level of a national first-class actor.

Then add your own empathy.

They should be able to far surpass those national first-class actors and veteran actors.

Seniors are worthy of respect.

It is also meant to be surpassed.

After returning to the capital and completing this undercover filming, Li Yun really needed to rest and recuperate.

There is no doubt about the mental exhaustion.

Physical fatigue also began to appear.

The suppression of double fatigue.

This made Li Yun feel extremely excited.

Because when these matches truly become his own improvement, when he successfully creates a good work and a good world.

Li Yun felt his fatigue disappear.

I felt extremely excited and my blood was boiling.

After returning to the capital, Li Yun took stock of the things to be done next.

The planning and production of "Let the Bullets Fly"

A screening of "When We Were Young".

After the final cut of the film "Silenced" is completed, necessary pre-production publicity and promotion are required.

There weren't any major problems with the promotion of "The Crucible". Li Yun had already come up with a whole set of combined moves, directly letting Liu Qianqian use her reputation as a celestial beauty to stand out.

This is the simplest way to leverage popularity: using her as the main character to generate buzz and hype. Jiang Chenggang agrees with this, believing that the promotion of "Silenced" should focus on Liu Qianqian.

As for the "Young Students" theme, its publicity and distribution are not Li Yun's responsibility; there shouldn't be any problems with that.

This is a trilogy officially designated by the state: "The Voice of Youth" and "The Voice of Passionate Youth".

The feeling of a nation rising

"It feels like we're on the right track now."

Looking at the company's current situation, Jiang Chenggang sighed with emotion.

It has grown from a tender sprout into a sapling, and will grow into a towering tree in the future.

There are now quite a few artists here.

In terms of planning, there will be two more installments of the "Crazy Stone" series.

The cast includes Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, and others.

They are all talented people who aren't exactly 'handsome'.

"Indeed, we're on the right track, but it's not enough."

"Those who are content with small fortunes will be crushed by the tides of history."

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Jiang Chenggang was somewhat taken aback by Li Yun's words.

Li Yun's statement was an exaggeration.

Indeed, this is not an exaggeration.

Back in the day, the Chinese entertainment industry wasn't immune to the bubble economy. Although Hollywood still dominated the overall market share, the vast Chinese market actually nurtured many companies.

The era of web dramas followed.

Even in the era of short dramas.

The pace is very fast.

In this parallel world, with the internet developing so rapidly, no one knows if the era of web dramas will suddenly arrive.

Selected and photographed items.

Of course, Mr. Li is an exception.

Li Yun is the boss, so he can do whatever he wants.

On the other side, Jiang Wen smiled and said.

"We're not big enough to be served yet."

"In the entertainment industry, let's not talk about size or anything. Look at Golden Harvest, it's so powerful, it's produced so many big stars and actors, and it has so many legendary agents, but does it dare to breathe loudly in front of Li Mo?" Jiang Chenggang said in a low voice.

In this industry, ability and results still speak for themselves.

Regardless of his family background, Li Mo is a highly capable person in the industry.

He can say something that could cause an earthquake in the entertainment industry.

Even if we lose the role models of our time.

He is also a bigwig in Beijing's elite circles.

I heard he's been making moves lately, as a director.

If his role as a role model of the times made him a laughing stock, then his plan to redesign his work still shook half of the Beijing entertainment industry.

He remains that capable and talented super director.

Box office success, critical acclaim—everything is a powerful weapon in his arsenal.

A big shot who can make Jiahe fawn over him with just a word.

When resources and talent are concentrated in one person, that person becomes the power and the stance.

The entertainment industry can also be a world where one person's power can turn everything around.

Jiang Wen, Jiang Chenggang, Li Yun.

At this moment, Jiang Wen was chatting with Li Yun.

It's nothing more than the issue of "Let the Bullets Fly" and the domestic film market.

This person is also someone who cares about national affairs. He is heartbroken that the Mingyao Group is becoming more and more arrogant and investing more and more in importing film resources. He seems to want to make a movie like "Let the Bullets Fly" and throw it into the domestic film market, creating a huge ripple.

He was eager to take the picture.

Li Yun, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. To be frank, having a sense of national responsibility is not a bad thing.

Without a sense of national pride and patriotism, it's unlikely that a film like "Let the Bullets Fly" could be made.

Li Yun also has it.

Although there were reasons for the allure of fame and fortune, in reality, after experiencing "The Young Students" and "Lurking".

The budding feelings and thoughts in my heart have also quietly changed.

Slight changes have occurred

It's all for the same purpose.

But now...

There can be many reasons.

It can be given a respectable reason.

It is even more grand and imposing.

It sounds like a more noble reason than pursuing fame and fortune.

And now, his first TV series, filmed for such a reason, is about to be released.

They were young and full of vigor.

Who controls the rise and fall of this vast land?

This popular patriotic TV series, which caused quite a stir at the time, was labeled as a youth drama.

Create a different kind of youth.

Let those truly great people show their youthful spirit.

What exactly is it like?

This TV series is destined to be controversial, not only online, but also within the CCTV circle.

This is the biggest reason for the controversy.

Li Yun is naturally one of the sources of controversy.

Of course, the bigger controversy comes from the project itself: the youth of the great, a subject that is controversial enough in itself.

Moreover, it was categorized under youth dramas.

This is not in line with the mainstream ideology at all.

The biggest opposition group is probably the CCTV circle led by the August 1st faction.

From the very beginning, when the project "The Young Students" was conceived, they were not optimistic about it, not optimistic about this not-so-serious mainstream TV series.

Liu Shanhe was practicing calligraphy in his office.

Several large characters were written on the Xuan paper used for landscape ink painting.

"Those who are all talk and no action."
