Chapter 362, "The superior man makes his living by eating others"

"Is this a lot of text?"

When Ge You saw the amount of text in this script.

So many people were shocked?

This can be considered a complete and meticulous record of everything.

Storyboards, dialogue, and even the meaning behind the dialogue.

They're all in here.

Liu Jialing, who was standing next to her, was also somewhat shocked: "This is the first time I've ever seen a script with such a large amount of text."

Looking at the sheer size of the script, Jiang Weijian, standing next to him, thought it was a TV drama script—it was so long!

Was everything done by Li Yun alone?

Young people have so much energy!

He was somewhat surprised by this, but didn't feel much about it.

A large amount of text and information does not necessarily mean it is good.

Conversely, if there is a large amount of invalid text or script, it could actually drag down and hinder the quality of the film, which is quite possible.

but.

Now that the script is ready...

So how it turns out will depend entirely on the director and assistant director.

The crew of the August First Film Studio can guarantee the "quality" of the filming.

But the quality of the final product depends on the people in front of you.

"This is the first time I've worked with so many amateur performers."

Liu Jialing, Chen Kun

They are all amateur actors without official positions. Although they are amateur actors with some fame, they are all top-tier in terms of star power.

Of course, they're from the August First Film Studio.

Only actor titles are recognized.

"I always feel like they're looking down on us."

"That's normal, all those people in the system are like that."

Actually, this was before filming even started.

There was still some distance between the crew.

The staff at the August First Film Studio felt that the achievements Liu Jialing and Chen Kun made in the private sector were not very valuable. They believed that any place where money could get you there had no real substance.

Liu Jialing and Chen Kun felt that these people within the system were stuck in their old ways and had long been corrupt, clinging to their outdated beliefs as the only right path.

If I had to put it simply, it would be that neither of them looks down on the other.

Ge You is an actor who is recognized both inside and outside the system.

Unfortunately, Jiang Wen and Li Yun were caught in the middle.

Especially Li Yun, whose performance in this crew full of experts was somewhat mediocre.

Being a third-tier actor within the system isn't exactly a high rank, but it's certainly not a low rank either. It's not that difficult for an actor around thirty years old to be rated as a third-tier actor.

Li Yun was rated as a Level 3 actor at such a young age, which is truly remarkable. Her advantage lies in her youth; she is incredibly young. To be honest, there aren't many actors who can achieve Level 3 at such a young age.

Overall, however, level three is indeed not a high level.

For Liu Jialing and her group, they don't care about Li Yun's rank within the system; they care about his status.

As an actor, Li Yun is considered a top-tier actor, but while he's on the same level as these veteran top-tier actors, it's only on the surface.

The young frontline workers are quite different from those who have been on the frontline for many years.

And as a director.

honestly.

As a director of realistic art films.

Or as a director who promotes patriotic themes.

Yes, it's a patriotic film. In terms of film classification, "Silenced" is categorized as a patriotic art film.

This film, "Let the Bullets Fly," also carries the label of being a patriotic film.

Although both are patriotic films, their tones are completely different. The Crucible is a mix of light and darkness, while Let the Bullets Fly is surprisingly comedic in its initial appearance.

This is a completely unrelated field to furnaces.

One of the reasons they came to film "Let the Bullets Fly" was because of Jiang Wen's influence.

The two seem to have quite similar approaches.

They all started as actors, then became directors, and eventually wrote, directed, and starred in their own works.

No wonder the two get along so well.

Although the two had some disagreement about the director position for Let the Bullets Fly.

But in reality, the two are still friends who respect each other.

They are friends who cooperate, and friends who are rivals.

Ge You and Liu Jialing had a very simple idea.

When the film is halfway through shooting, the director will inevitably relinquish some of his authority.

In other words, there is a high probability that Jiang Wen will become the director midway through the project.

Jiang Wen seems to have a greater ability to lead the film.

They came because they valued Jiang Wen's abilities.

Li Yun's qualifications are still too shallow.

He's alright as an actor, but only alright. As a director, he's too young.

Writing, directing, and starring in your own work is not an easy path to take.

What Ge You and his group are hoping for now is...

With Jiang Wen as the main general, they can finally unleash their full potential.

Li Yun is better suited to be an actor.

Furthermore, he was unsure whether the actors could handle their roles, especially Ge You, whom he had serious doubts about.

He was the only national first-class actor present.

A veteran actor with outstanding achievements, he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor back in 93.

He is also an actor who has attended the Cannes Film Festival.

Golden Rooster Award (Baihua Award)

He has won countless awards.

He is also a national first-class actor.

This advisor was arguably the biggest name in the entire "Let the Bullets Fly" production team. He was only given a chance because of the Jiang family's influence and because Li Yun's "Silenced" was indeed quite interesting.

He also felt that if Li Yunlai were to come, the final film would probably be just so-so, but if Jiang Wenlai were to come, it would be a completely different story.

The script is indeed quite interesting.

"Mr. Ge, do you think he's capable of doing the job?"

"How should I know? If Jiang Wen says it's okay, then it's okay." Ge You glanced at the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" and clicked his tongue, saying, "I must say, our crew is quite diverse. There are people from the mainland, people from Hong Kong, people from within the system, people from outside the system, people who are semi-institutional, and people who are semi-outside the system."

It must be said that Uncle Ge really has a talent for comedy.

His speech was like a rhyming jingle, and coupled with his authentic Beijing accent, it was so genuine that it made people chuckle.

"That's right, I was thinking the same thing. The composition of our production team is really quite complicated." Jiang Weijian joked at this moment, "I'm even a little worried about our hardworking director, Xiao Li."

The more complex the ingredients, the lower the degree of harmony, and the more problems arise.

Currently, only Jiang Wen has experience in handling this kind of project; his previous project, "The Sun Also Rises," was also a project with a rather complex composition.

This commander is the one who can lead us to make a good movie.

As for being an actor...

Whether it's Jiang Wen or Li Yun.

It's quite challenging to fully capture Ge You's performance.

It's not that they're too weak.

It's not that Ge You is too strong.

However, Ge You also has an advantage, which was probably within his expectations.

Acting opposite two formidable actors allows me to enjoy the acting competition while also maintaining my own control.

We need to let two formidable opponents play supporting roles.

If they all become the leading ladies, Jiang Wen still has a slight chance.

Li Yun played a supporting role.

Being a supporting actor isn't bad either, after all, you're the screenwriter and director of the film.

If she could be the center of attention, that would be too abnormal.

Red flowers and green leaves provide a backdrop.

At this moment, in everyone's hearts.

Each actor has their own level.

The highest-ranking among them is Ge You, the star of the show, while the two beside him are the supporting characters.

Li Yun and Jiang Wen are high-class supporting characters.

The actors in the crew felt this even more strongly after seeing Li Yun.

Compared to Ge You's naturalness and Jiang Wen's domineering aura, Li Yun didn't seem to have any special qualities. He appeared somewhat haggard from staying up late to finish the script for many days.

You can see the tiredness from the dark circles under her eyes.

This tired state and demeanor do not fit Huang Silang's character.

Jiang Weijian felt the same way; he hadn't yet shaken off the impression of Li Yun as Liu Ping'an, a cowardly and timid ordinary man.

That ordinary impression is still there.

However, Ge You on the other side didn't have too many ideas, he just hoped that Jiang Wen could give him some extra surprises.

At this moment, Li Yun was looking at his script in the room.

Looking at Huang Silang beside him, who looked exactly like him.

So this time the difficulty is very high.

Since Huang Silang is the appearance of my body after I suddenly become rich, is he a part of me?

Shouldn't it be a part of oneself?

"Stop struggling. I am you, and you are me. If one day, a person who has nothing has the power of life and death over others, what kind of person will you become? Hahahaha, you will become me! You will become me, Huang Silang!"

At this moment, Huang Silang laughed heartily.

It seems that he has already figured out Li Yun's situation.

You can't refuse me.

You absolutely cannot refuse me.

And I will naturally become a part of you, completely entering your mind.

"So that's how it is. An ordinary person, after suddenly gaining power, will become like Major Cao, who doesn't like beef, and will do whatever he wants."

Li Yun, however, looked with great interest at Huang Silang, whose face was exactly the same as his own.

He became manic and acted recklessly.

It also has its own unique dark humor.

"Actually, I studied traditional Chinese medicine when I was a child. My father, a poor herbalist, always told me from a young age that you should eat what you need to replenish what you lack."

"And if you want to be a superior person, you have to eat people. My damn hometown and fellow villagers are all my prey. I sell them to America to build railroads. I can make a dollar from each one, hahaha!"

Huang Silang seemed to want to influence Li Yun's mind and feelings through his domineering madness and evil.

Li Yun, however, wholeheartedly agreed.

They seem to listen to advice quite well.

"Yes, eating people makes you superior to others, you're right."

Huang Silang was somewhat taken aback by Li Yunshun's obedient words.

He had assumed that the original entity would argue with him and resist his ideas.

After all, you don't want me to have any influence over you, right?

then.

Huang Silang then found out.

The difference between my own ideas and Li Yun's ideas.

"Wait, wait, wait! That's not what I meant by cannibalism!"

"What's wrong with that? You became a big landlord in Goose City by eating people, so what's wrong with me becoming Huang Silang and an excellent actor by eating you?"

"You can become a superior person by eating people!"
