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

Chapter 384, Kongming, the pinnacle of wisdom; Lü Bu, the peak of valor.

They displayed their bravery to each other.

The young man in front of him chose to directly challenge him.

I'm not targeting anyone in particular.

Rather, it is all of you present here.

The ferocity in his eyes was palpable.

Fierce and ruthless.

Come, come, aren't you all heroes and great men?

I am here, waiting for you all.

How dare you fight me!

A fierce killing intent emanated intensely from Li Yun.

There was a strange, vicious, and malevolent aura about it.

But in contrast, there is also a strong sense of self-confidence, so strong that it cannot be ignored.

After all, he was Lü Bu.

Dong Zhuo's gaze was now fixed on Li Yun, and he couldn't look away.

There's no way I can leave.

The man in front of him was the fierce general he had been looking for.

A fierce general capable of taking on a thousand men single-handedly.

There are many ways to understand a character. From He Rundong's perspective, it's probably that he's a fighter, domineering, and strong.

It's quite a coincidence.

Bu Jingyun is also that kind of person.

Therefore, He Rundong has his own confidence because he is confident in his understanding of this role.

All I need to do is present a second Bu Jingyun.

There shouldn't be any major problems, right?

That is indeed the case.

He almost landed the role.

If it weren't for this guy challenging him, he would have really gotten the role.

But things are different now.

There's no need to deliberately show off your strength and bravery; a single glance is enough.

A contemptuous and domineering look.

That completes the task.

I accomplished this.

Even He Rundong himself had to admit that the young man in front of him was more like a hero who could take on a thousand men single-handedly.

"Wow, that's amazing," He Rundong couldn't help but murmur.

Then He Rundong was startled.

Even he felt in his heart that the guy in front of him was even more ruthless and domineering.

The chances of me getting the role are already extremely slim.

Even I admit defeat.

"His understanding of the character is so profound, his eyes are so sharp!"

The eyes are the primary channel for transmitting information.

Eye acting has always been fundamental for actors.

The most important channel for conveying emotions clearly and allowing the audience to understand what kind of person you are is through your eyes.

Li Yun's eyes seemed to speak volumes.

The feudal lords outside the pass are all worthless.

A single glance conveyed that message.

He didn't take Cao Mengde or Liu Xuande seriously.

He only trusted his prized horse, Red Hare, and his halberd. What he pursued was to use his bravery to conquer all that he coveted in this chaotic world.

Beautiful women, fine horses, divine weapons, city walls, and soldiers.

I want it all!

Everything is mine!

I don't like him.

Compared to He Rundong's Lü Bu.

Chen Jianbo disliked Li Yun's portrayal of Lü Bu; he felt a deep-seated discomfort towards him.

There's also aversion, an instinctive rejection.

"What a coincidence, I don't like him either," Liu Xuande, who was standing next to Liu Hewei, said casually.

When Liu Hewei saw Lu Bu challenging him, he noticed too many distracting thoughts and emotions in his eyes.

These distracting thoughts and emotions are not pure enough in the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

But this is not pure.

Wouldn't that be perfect for Lü Bu?

Lü Bu was never a good person to begin with.

This is a principle that Li Yun himself came to understand.

Therefore, Li Yun added many of his own feelings to this Lü Bu.

To be honest, Li Yun also found it a bit unbelievable.

His arrogant challenge was indeed a phantom of this valiant general.

However, most of the distracting thoughts came from Li Yun himself.

The pursuit and desire for fame and fortune—this impure and impure thought.

It's what Li Yun feels inside his heart.

For fame and fortune.

I want to become a world-renowned movie star, known to everyone in the world, just like Brother Long.

Going to an island nation would allow the local gangs to block off streets for him.

Going to Australia would allow him to have soldiers from the local military region act as his extras.

Superstars aren't the Hong Kong superstars, but global superstars, like Michael Jackson, standing at the very top of the world.

To prove to the world that I have not lived this life in vain.

Li Yun's goal is very clear.

Even if one day, faced with the choice between never being able to cure his mental illness and reaching the pinnacle of the world, Li Yun doesn't know what he would choose.

Who knows if I might lose my mind and make a random choice?

Or perhaps this is a choice I made while I was fully conscious.

But as things stand, that's unlikely to happen.

Either the disappearance of the disease occurs simultaneously with the peak of one's life.

Either you let yourself fall into oblivion, allowing the disease to multiply and rage unchecked, letting it take over your personality, losing control, and becoming a true madman.

Who knows?

But Li Yun knew what kind of person he was.

Pursuing fame and fortune is what I desire.

Insatiable desires.

You're the same, right, Lü Bu?

"It seems that neither Cao Mengde nor Liu Xuande likes this Lü Bu." Yang Xiaodong stroked his chin at this moment. To be honest, as a viewer, he didn't think Lü Bu was a likable guy either.

This is especially true in the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Despite the chaotic battles between heroes, the characters are actually above average when it comes to moral principles.

At least that was the case during that era of warlord conflicts.

At this banquet, everyone was showing a sense of mutual respect for heroes, but Li Yun was the only one who didn't play by the rules. Apart from that fat-headed, big-eared Dong Zhuo, no one would like this arrogant and challenging guy.

And there was too much distraction in his eyes.

We are all working towards a grand cause and share the same goal.

But why is it that you're so hard to like?

However, Gao Xinxin said...

This is the Three Kingdoms period, and this is Lü Bu.

"Have you decided?"

"It's decided."

At that moment, Gao Xinxin mentally scored He Rundong's name and removed it from the candidate list.

the other side.

For the women's group, it's even simpler.

Several women danced.

Chen Haohao and Lin Qingru were at loggerheads, neither of them willing to give in.

Everyone wanted to possess the title of the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms.

One is the mainland, and the other is Taiwan.

Both sides are top-tier actresses of the same caliber.

The two women were vying for attention, how delightful!

Almost everyone thought that Diao Chan would be chosen from among the two of them.

There shouldn't be any surprises.

"You've got something, my junior brother."

At this moment, Sha Yi was looking at Li Yun, who was challenging him, and in a daze, he saw the fierce Lu Bu shouting here.

Who can stop me?

Who can defeat me?

What are these feudal lords outside the pass going to do with me?

Sha Yi didn't expect Li Yun to have such a profound understanding of the character, and now he's suddenly realizing it a bit late.

He would subconsciously dislike Li Yun.

I hate the Lu Bu he played, but that's the right thing to do.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu is probably the morally lowest among the many fierce generals. If it weren't for his bravery and strength, he would probably have been killed off after only a few episodes.

It can make everyone hate, fear, and be wary of it.

It's also a wonderful skill.

Li Yun seized upon this point.

Sha Yi felt that he had a very good chance of landing the role of Lü Bu.

"Indeed, they should not be underestimated," Lu Yi said calmly, deeply remembering Li Yun's presence at that moment.

This further deepened Lu Yi's evaluation of Li Yun.

Before the age of 45, being a national first-class actor, a TV drama king, and a movie king was not an achievement he could only dream of.

He is now demonstrating that possibility.

A potential to achieve extraordinary domestic success at a young age.

"Interesting, but also a bit of a disappointment."

"What are you regretting?"

"I've heard from our seniors at the August First Film Studio that acting opposite Li Yun is very interesting. It's a pity that if he played Lü Bu, I probably wouldn't get to see it."

Lu Yi felt somewhat regretful.

"By the time Zhuge Liang appeared, Lü Bu had already been reduced to ashes."

Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Everyone is the protagonist of their own story, and everyone shines in a certain chapter of their time.

Zhang Jiao, who brought ruin to the Han Dynasty, has died before Heaven; the Yellow Turbans shall rise.

Dong Zhuo, who held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords, was a cruel and cannibalistic man who indulged in debauchery.

He was also the only one among the heroes who dared to use Lü Bu.

Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande, these two heroes who were present throughout the Three Kingdoms period, may not necessarily have been more charismatic than others.

They each have their own path in life, the path chosen by history.

So Lu Yi was quite disappointed, as he probably wouldn't be able to act opposite Li Yun this time. He was quite eager to learn from this interesting young man. If he were to act opposite him, he would need to use a significant portion of his skills.

This is something that makes people curious.

Sha Yi, standing next to him, sounded somewhat arrogant, but there was no denying that Lu Yi had the right to be arrogant.

He has real skills.

In terms of acting, Lu Yi is a bit more advanced than him.

Although they are all actors of the same level and their acting ranges are not that wide, he does not have the stereotype of comedy. His many resources in serious dramas give him a certain degree of innate advantage.

His experience in serious dramas made him stand out in the planning of the new Three Kingdoms.

That's why he has self-confidence.

A kind of confidence that perhaps no one would compete with him for Zhuge Liang.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.

In fact, Sha Yi was also thinking, why not admit defeat and settle for another role? It seems that he really can't compare to Lu Yi.

However, at this very moment, right before their eyes, Li Yun's aura underwent a sudden change.

A wondrous change.

Li Yun, who was once a fierce and arrogant military general, underwent a strange change in temperament.

A strange, even bizarre, change.

His eyes began to soften.

He possesses a mature wisdom and experience, yet retains a youthful impulsiveness.

He went from being a military general to a civil official in an instant.

What's wrong with him?

What is he going to do?

Before anyone could react.

When Li Yun's temperament changed, he became another person that everyone was familiar with.

He's so greedy!

This feeling arose spontaneously in the hearts of everyone present.

Li Yun is preparing for two roles.

One is the fierce and domineering Lü Bu.

There's another one.

Zhuge Kongming.

"This kid's a bit greedy, preparing two roles?" Yang Xiaodong, standing next to him, said in surprise.

In front of so many big names.

Li Yun then displayed his extreme greed.

And the character itself.

What kind of person was Zhuge Liang?

A wise and intelligent figure, whose wisdom could pacify the world and whose intelligence bordered on the supernatural.

He was the most cunning and resourceful person in the Three Kingdoms period.

However, at this very moment.

When that sense of wisdom appeared in Li Yun, it was enough to make people feel confused.

Not long ago, he gave people the impression of being as brave but reckless as Lü Bu.

That feeling of confusion.

It seemed to happen in an instant.

For the actors on stage, especially Liu Hewei, the feeling of disorientation was very obvious.

When he first faced Lü Bu, he made no attempt to hide his disgust.

I don't want to hide my disgust.

That's how Liu Bei felt about Lü Bu.

Liu Bei simply didn't like this guy.

But as for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei liked this guy to the extreme.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of visiting Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times as a lord.

like.

Even love.

In the Three Kingdoms period, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, as many Three Kingdoms enthusiasts say, is more like a love letter between men than a love story between men and women.

They gathered together for their grand ambitions and ideals, to achieve great things.

Their feelings were equally pure.

And with the same sincerity and genuine heart.

Liu Hewei felt his vision blur.

The image of Li Yun before me keeps shifting between Lü Bu and Zhuge Liang. Which one is the real him? Which one is true and which one is false?

Liu Hewei suddenly had a feeling of not being able to tell the difference.

Or perhaps both of them are true.

Both are characters portrayed by Li Yun.

This made Liu Hewei break out in a cold sweat.

Then I got a little excited.

Just like that old guy said.

This Li Yun.

He's a pretty interesting guy.

Civil and military officials.

They have a significant difference in terms of absolute significance.

They all give off different vibes.

One type is a brute, the other is a wise man.

If someone can portray both the wisdom and the brute force simultaneously, then that feeling must be called acting.

Just like Li Yun right in front of me.

The acting skills presented.

One person becomes two.

To become two completely different people.

They were two different people from the same era.

What do you think?

Yang Xiaodong could only ask Gao Xinxin, the chief director, how he viewed the actors in front of him.

Should he be Lü Bu or Zhuge Liang?

Given that Lu Yi has already portrayed the role of Zhuge Kongming.

What choice will Gao Xinxin make?

Who would Liu Bei choose as his Zhuge Liang?

Audition results don't come out quickly.

What choices will the civil and military officials and rulers make today?

How will these national first-class actors make this choice?

They then gathered together and chatted.

"I want that Zhuge Liang," Liu Hewei said bluntly.

Although Li Yun always gave him a strange sense of confusion.

But it must be admitted that...

Li Yun's portrayal of Zhuge Liang resonated with him even more.

If Lu Yi wanted to project a more mature image as much as possible...

Although it's quite good, Liu Hewei still feels...

Li Yun has a youthful air about him.

Or perhaps he chose to portray a youthful spirit in Zhuge Liang.

This is somewhat unbelievable, as Zhuge Liang is portrayed as mature and powerful.

But a youthful appearance implies immaturity.

The Prime Minister, ah.

Is it possible that it's not mature enough?

Based on his past image, it's impossible.

"This is different from the Zhuge Liang of the past, contrary to his previous mature image, isn't it? I know that. I went home and tossed and turned, thinking about the answer to this question. But I still feel that there is one thing he may not have done wrong. Zhuge Kongming may not have been that mature."

That's incredible.

Even Zhuge Liang was once criticized for being immature.

This guy seems to be in control of everything.

"Are you serious?" Lu Xiaohe asked Liu Hewei in astonishment.

In his mind, Zhuge Liang was the ideal Zhuge Liang.

He is the epitome of maturity and wisdom.

"Actually, when I reread Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I easily discovered one thing: in Zhuge Liang's life, he made the most impulsive decision that influenced the course of his life."

This decision is probably...

With Liu Bei's emergence from seclusion.

In fact, the story of Zhuge Liang visiting Liu Bei's thatched cottage three times was not a test by Zhuge Liang.

Having mastered celestial calculations, he knew what it meant to have the right timing, the right place, and the right people.

And for Liu Bei.

Because of his impulsive decision.

He then abandoned the favorable timing among the advantages of timing, location, and human factors.

Therefore, in Zhuge Liang's personality...

Or rather, it would be impossible for him to have been completely without any impulsiveness in his youth.

In his life.

There are signals that are truly called impulses.

It's a feeling of paying the price for irrationality.

"But I also have my eye on him. I really like his portrayal of Lü Bu." Dong Zhuo Lü Xiaohe smiled with narrowed eyes. "And I think Lu Yi is also very suitable. He can portray a rare youthful feeling in Li Yun, but that doesn't mean he can play the role of a mature prime minister. He can definitely take on the role of Lü Bu."

As Liu Hewei said.

Even if Zhuge Liang had a youthful spirit, it was only a small part of his life.

Since his decision to leave his seclusion after being invited three times to serve, his life has always been about prioritizing the greater good.

He wept as he executed Ma Su.

We must prioritize military orders and the overall situation.

This is also a minor pain point for Liu Hewei.

Li Yun's slight youthful charm is a highlight.

But Lu Yi's mature demeanor is equally impressive.

Both of them have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Unlike Lu Bu, whose outcome was basically without any suspense.

Li Yun seems to have won against many others.

"Why are you all so hung up on this?" At this moment, Gao Xinxin finally made an important decision.

"Um?"

"They were not from the same era. When Lü Bu died, Zhuge Liang had not yet emerged from seclusion."

Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei hadn't figured anything out yet.

Cao Cao, who was standing nearby, immediately realized this.

Chen Jianbo was taken aback.

"Neither of these two are minor figures."

"Yes, precisely because it's not a minor role, I feel the risk is worth taking."

What Gao Xinxin was thinking was...

Lü Bu and Zhuge Liang.

Both are played by Li Yun.
