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

Chapter 365, How's your mental state?

Li Yun's acting skills.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have felt so much.

But when you see it with your own eyes.

Only then can you truly appreciate its uniqueness.

Yes, it's special.

people in front of you.

The two roles he played.

One of them is Huang Silang.

One of them is Huang Silang's double.

Fierce and domineering are the best descriptions of Li Yun.

He truly brought out Huang Silang's ruthlessness and domineering presence.

That profound feeling was fully conveyed.

Just like Jiang Wen's Zhang Muzhi, his opposite.

Just from this scene, Jiang Weijian could tell that Li Yun is definitely a skilled actor.

He now looks exactly like Huang Silang.

It's a feeling of completely becoming another individual.

Jiang Weijian even felt a little strange.

What?

It will be Li Yun in a moment.

It will be Huang Silang's turn in a bit.

Not far from Li Yun's film crew, just over 20 kilometers away, was another scene set inside a watchtower.

Meanwhile, on Jiang Wen's side, the drama continued.

"It's not me who's been wronged, it's Master Wu who's been wronged!"

The person selling cold noodles said this while crying and sobbing.

Even if they were beaten black and blue by the martial arts examiner, they would still cry out for justice for the other party.

In this territory.

Huang Silang's power reached the point of being lawless.

So what if I lie to your face, the county magistrate?

What can you do to me?

No.

There was nothing they could do about Huang Silang.

The exchange between Huang Silang and Zhang Mazi, though seemingly indirect, was like a game of chess.

Zhang Mazi made Huang Silang lose face.

He spanked the martial arts graduate.

It made Master Huang lose face.

At this moment, Master Tang checked the accounts and slapped his thigh.

"Oh no, we're too late! The previous county magistrates collected taxes 90 years ago, and the people are now impoverished. There's no money left to squeeze out of them."

At this moment, Zhang Muzhi asked in confusion.

Why would I squeeze money out of poor people?

"If we don't squeeze money out of the poor, whose money will we squeeze out?"

"I'll squeeze money out of whoever has it."

"Have you ever been a county magistrate? Do you know how we county magistrates make money?"

"Never been one."

"The common people's money is split 30/70, while the money of the wealthy and powerful is returned in full."

"Only 7%?"

"7% still belong to other people."

"Then I'll be begging on my knees like a pig?"

"Yes, buying official positions and making money is like begging on your knees. Even if you're kneeling, you still have to be mindful of other people's feelings, especially the feelings of Master Huang!"

enjoy.

Another group's filming.

Jiang Wen and Ge You both enjoyed their scenes together.

The two surprisingly developed a sense of mutual respect during their acting together, even though they hadn't had much interaction before.

But friendship and a resonance of souls arise among them.

Take root and sprout.

That's a form of appreciation for the other person.

There's also a sense of exhilaration.

Both of them even felt that they didn't really want to film the three-person scene tomorrow, fearing that the feeling of mutual respect would be ruined.

The fear of ruining the feelings between the two of them does sound a bit cheesy.

But it still exists.

"What an amazing script! I'm increasingly convinced that his talent as a screenwriter is truly astonishing. I haven't encountered such an exciting script in a long time."

Ge You used the word "energetic" to describe it.

It's been a long time since I've encountered a script that excites me so much.

The script, the actors, and the people he was acting with—that unparalleled sense of exhilaration surged and spread within him.

As an actor.

He felt very lucky to have encountered such a good script.

It was really lucky, but it also depended on the performance of the person opposite me.

Only by combining the two can he feel such a refreshing sensation.

"We're going to rehearse with him tomorrow. We'd better be prepared for Huang Silang's trap."

Tomorrow will be a minor climax in "Let the Bullets Fly".

The first minor climax in filming so far.

A plot point that ignites early conflicts.

We don't plan to use any background music; the three of us will simply rely on our acting skills to deliver the lines.

National Class A Actor, Best Actor, Outstanding Actor – these are the achievements Jiang Wen and Ge You have attained so far.

They deserve to have achieved such success.

We're here now, filming the first major scene of Let the Bullets Fly.

From a script perspective, this was a scene that excited both of them.

The only concern might be whether Li Yun himself can handle the role he plays.

Yes, it's somewhat unbelievable, but Ge You and the others were worried about whether Li Yun could handle the job.

Can we secure a spot in this scene now?

"Aren't you quite familiar with Jiang Weijian? Why don't you ask him how our director is doing with the filming?"

At this moment, Jiang Wen looked at Ge You, who was a veteran within the system.

He said it's alright, I asked him.

Okay.

This assessment is somewhat vague.

Jiang Wen couldn't get an answer either, and could only imagine that it probably wasn't bad, after all, Li Yun's talent and achievements as an actor were obvious to all.

just.

They attacked him from both sides, one of them and the other Ge You.

Can he handle it?

Can he handle it?

Jiang Weijian also had this question at first, because the character's setting was very different from the actor's own image.

Moreover, Li Yun also has to participate in activities as a director, screenwriter, and lead actor.

The three feel completely different.

That was the initial impression Li Yun gave them.

So he kept thinking about this problem.

As an actor, is Li Yun capable of handling the roles?

However, once the actual filming began, all these questions were forgotten.

wrong.

Instead, they were troubled by a brand new sense of bewilderment.

This new sense of bewilderment comes from Li Yun himself, from all the sensations and feelings he evokes.

As a screenwriter.

As a director.

As Huang Silang.

There are subtle differences between screenwriters and directors, and these two are worlds apart from Huang Silang, who plays the role.

As a result, when Jiang Weijian was negotiating with Li Yun, he would sometimes feel that the person he was talking to was Li Yun and sometimes Huang Silang. Even when talking to Li Yun, he could feel the changes in Li Yun's state.

It was as if she had transformed into a completely different person.

"They're the same person! What are you thinking? He's Li Modu's son, a partner in our second-tier production team at the August First Film Studio. There's nothing else involved! Why are you overthinking it?"

Jiang Weijian has emphasized this to himself more than once.

As an elder, I would look at Li Modu's son with a slightly appreciative gaze.

But when he became Huang Silang, his wildness and carnivorous nature frightened him.

The oppressive feeling of those in power over those in lower positions.

And my feelings as an elder.

They are constantly confused.

Now is no longer the time for Zhang Weijian to consider whether Li Yun can handle the two of them in the play.

He was reflecting on what he would do after making the film.

Will my mental state ever improve?

what?
