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

Chapter 364, No rush, let's play around with him.

"At the ends of the earth, my friends are scattered and few remain. A pot of wine is all I have left to enjoy, as the setting sun shines beyond the mountains."

"I, Ma, have traveled all over the country, relying on my combined literary and martial skills, setting me apart from others!"

"It's not just about eating, drinking, and having fun; it's also about enjoying the beauty of nature."

Ma Debang, later known as Master Tang

The county magistrate at the beginning.

He later became a legal advisor.

Armed with the appointment letter he had bought at great expense, he took the woman he had redeemed from the brothel with him and went to take up his post in Goose City.

originally.

They're full of vigor and high spirits!

And his young master.

Let's take up our posts in Goose City together.

It must be admitted that Ge You is truly remarkable in terms of acting skills.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but think that this person truly deserved to be a national first-class actor.

A one-man show, to be performed to this extent, is definitely a visual treat for the audience.

On the other side, the bandit leader, Zhang Muzhi, said, "Let the bullets fly for a while."

The topic has been addressed.

Ge You's solo performance was absolutely excellent; it could even be considered a show of force for him in "Let the Bullets Fly."

A 'declaration' to everyone present.

safflower.

it's me.

Although I am a "secretary".

But I am the star of this "Goose City".

This is a fact that no one can change.

This kind of "announcement" also triggered Jiang Wen's acting addiction.

Let's not think about Director Li Yun for now; the most important thing right now is to film the movie well—he's also a very good actor.

"No money, no goods, and no silver."

"There are two people left alive, should we kill them or not?"

At this moment, Zhang Muzhi turned the clock to start the countdown and said calmly, "Where is the money hidden? Tell me. If you can't tell me before the alarm rings, you'll lose your head."

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Crying! Crying counts as time too."

Zhang Muzhi wore a "Nine Stripes" mask, which looked quite comical. Although his face was not shown, his temperament and acting skills were no less than Ge You's.

Part of acting comes from the movement of facial muscles.

Jiang Wen, whose face was covered, was already at a disadvantage at this point.

However, when it comes to the actual acting...

When they acted together, that disadvantage didn't exist at all.

Even Ge You was somewhat surprised by Jiang Wen's acting skills, which could even be described as outstanding.

After the initial surprise came joy.

Wow, Jiang Wen, you've been hiding this talent all along! As an actor, you're also incredibly talented.

Very good, if that's the case, then I, this red flower, am not so lonely.

That's great.

Jiang Wen and Ge You both felt very good about this feeling.

It can be said that both of them were quite immersed in their roles.

A long monologue.

A comedic dialogue-style performance.

Why is it that this train, which is considered luxurious, has no money on board?

It turns out that all the silver was used to buy official positions in Goose City.

This determined what Zhang Muzhi, the bandit leader, would do after intercepting the train.

Let's go, let's take office in Goose City.

Go become the county magistrate.

He had the air of a bandit.

They opened fire as soon as they entered the city.

Zhang Muzhi was an undisguised bandit.

They changed into a bright and shiny outfit, but it was still like bandits entering the city.

This is an absolute boon for Jiang Wen, as he already possesses a certain Beijing-style bandit-like air about him.

This kind of temperament is innate.

Having a natural charisma is an unparalleled benefit to acting when encountering a role that suits one's personality.

Jiang Wen became completely absorbed in it.

To be addicted to it.

The same applies to Ge You.

"It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying acting experience. Both the script and my co-stars made me happy. I love this production team."

The first few scenes.

This piqued Jiang Wen and Ge You's interest in acting.

As for this script, it's enough to convince Jiang Wen and Ge You that it's a script that has been polished over several years.

Both the amount of information and the profound meaning it conveys are truly awe-inspiring.

Li Yun, the screenwriter.

That's really impressive.

If you have this talent, why be an actor or director? Go be a top screenwriter.

Even Jiang Weijian was getting restless, saying, "Come to our August First Film Studio! We need good screenwriters, or you can pursue an acting career if you want."

Once you and your son are united.

It will surely bring the August First Film Studio back to its peak.

Meanwhile, Li Yun was also calmly giving guidance, highlighting the biggest advantage of being both director and screenwriter.

I guess it's because I understand both scripts and directing.

I understand everything now.

Li Yun's vision was blurry.

But I am also very clear-headed.

Before me stood Master Tang and Zhang Muzhi.

No, they are Jiang Wen and Ge You.

Their appearances and figures underwent slight changes; one moment they were Zhang Mazi and Master Tang from their own world, and the next they were Ge You and Jiang Wen.

The world before their eyes then shifted between Li Yun's and Huang Silang's perspectives.

Is the world before Li Yun's eyes real? Or is the world before Huang Silang the real one?

This vague feeling.

That's probably where the sense of control comes from.

Because I have a real Huang Silang deep in my heart, I firmly believe in the reality and absurdity of this world.

Unbelievable.

Even a world with an absurd and darkly humorous setting like "Let the Bullets Fly" can be filmed as if it were a real world.

The feeling of sudden trust in Li Yun.

Madness is abstract.

He is not specific.

To view the abstract world as real.

That's just insane.

Alright, it's my turn.

Huang Silang, who actually lives in the world.

At this point, the crew split up: the assistant director filmed his own scenes, and Li Yun filmed her own scenes, so no one was interfering with the other.

Jiang Weijian led his men to Li Yun's side. After all, from various perspectives, Li Yun's side was the one that needed coordination and assistance more.

In fact, people have a negative opinion of Li Yun's performance as an actor.

That's only natural.

Jiang Wen and Ge You's roles are somewhat like playing themselves: one a righteous old rogue, the other a cunning and treacherous advisor.

Their roles and images are consistent with their own personalities.

This synergy will elevate their acting skills to a whole new level.

And what about Li Yun?

Throughout the film industry, he has never played a similar role.

In other words, this was his first time playing such a role.

A character whose personality doesn't quite align with his own.

There is one in the TV drama circle, that "Moon Worship Cult Leader".

First of all, there are huge differences between the film industry and the television industry.

Most of the time, these circles are not interconnected.

This further illustrates why Huang Silang is such a unique character.

He is special because he needs a certain aura.

Without presence, how can you suppress Jiang Wen's Zhang Mazi?

From Liu Jialing's perspective, it would be so much better if Chow Yun-fat played this role. However, if Chow Yun-fat were to play the role, it would probably take away more than half of the film's budget.

Superstar.

The highest honor in Hong Kong's entertainment industry is on the same level as the national-level special-grade actor within the system and the film emperor level in mainland China's entertainment industry.

Even the title of "Best Actor" is just a basic one.

Chow Yun-fat is also a film emperor, as are many national first-class actors.

But a Best Actor award does not necessarily mean that the actor is a national first-class actor or a superstar.

It's expensive to hire him, and he might not even come.

They consider not only the actor's salary, but also the script and the overall budget.

So, judging from the current situation, this seemingly cute young director doesn't seem like someone who can control Zhang Mazi at all.

Perhaps the image could be portrayed as cunning and treacherous? In that case, the requirements for one's aura could be lowered.

Even the concern about aura appeared in Wu Zhicong, Huang Silang's head instructor.

This former Qing Dynasty military officer, Jiang Wen's brother, is a character that Jiang Wu might not be able to suppress.

Therefore, everyone has a certain idea of what Huang Silang will be like next.

He might be a more sophisticated version of Hu Wan, a treacherous and cunning villain, like a sly little fox.

"Li Yun, are you ready..." Jiang Weijian wanted to remind Li Yun.

It's time to get into character.

Your performance is next.

The moment Li Yun stepped onto the film set, his subtle movements, expressions, and gazes all changed in an instant.

A smooth, unobstructed change.

From Li Yun.

The changes in Huang Silang.

No further words were needed; all that remained was a stunned Jiang Weijian, staring incredulously at the person before him.

The person in front of me underwent a change.

A change from one person to another.

That was Li Yun.

And now, he has become Huang Silang.

It felt as if two people were right in front of me.

Is this really something acting can do? To transform oneself, both internally and externally, into that of another person?

What does a fictional person look like?

Huang Silang and Zhang Mazi's first encounter came from Wu Zhicong, one of Huang Silang's subordinates, and Hu Wan, his head steward.

To show politeness.

Huang Silang carried a sedan chair, and all he brought was a hat to show off as a "top hat".

This was a show of force.

Similarly, Huang Silang did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He opened fire as soon as he entered the city, killing the bandits whose identities he had impersonated.

Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living.

They hadn't even entered the city yet, and the open and covert struggles had already begun.

This was the first time Li Yun and Jiang Wen acted together.

This was the first confrontation between Huang Silang and Zhang Mazi.

The two were not in the same frame; one was in the light, and the other was in the shadows.

These two scenes were filmed in different locations. In order to keep the schedule in sync, Jiang Wen was responsible for filming his scene, and Li Yun was responsible for filming Huang Silang's scene.

Both sides directed and acted in the same way.

Huang Silang sat atop his prized watchtower, surveying the newcomers from above.

That was a one-man show.

"Overbearing attitude? You're asking for it."

"They started shooting the moment they entered the city. This isn't something we can just deal with by splitting our firepower 20/80. Should we strike first?"

"No rush, let's play along with him."

The person speaking is a stand-in.

Huang Silang's foolish stand-in.

But the stunt double was also played by Li Yun.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone.

Li Yun gave a truly stunning solo performance.

I hit myself.

I am my own double.

I beat myself up to vent my anger.

The ruthless and cruel Huang Silang is a double who can be manipulated and controlled by others.

After watching this monologue.

Jiang Weijian wanted to retract his previous comments.
