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

Chapter 408, The Most Devout Voice

at this time.

Li Yun also received congratulatory messages from various circles.

Lu Zhengguang's good news.

Director Peter Chan, Andy Lau, and others.

Each of them represented their respective circles and congratulated Li Yun.

Li Yun was both amused and exasperated by this.

"I haven't received the award from the Asian Film Festival yet. The organizers just gave me a little bit of preferential treatment, but everyone is already congratulating me."

"You belong to the type where, even though you didn't win the award, everyone knows you did. You may lack the crown, but you haven't lacked the glory."

At this moment, Jiang Wen was speaking lazily beside him.

He was really tired lately.

Everyone's busy with things like making bullets fly.

From editing to minor adjustments, from publicity to various factual handling.

There's also the issue of running around for approvals.

Frankly speaking, even Jiang Wen himself wasn't very confident about the censorship of the film "Let the Bullets Fly".

All I can say is that I'll do my best.

After all, there are too many places where it is shown too blatantly.

The irony was too obvious.

However, some shots are not so easy to pass the censorship.

It can be said.

When we were filming, I never imagined this thing could be so daring.

The review process is a big problem.

Or, to put it another way, it needs to pass censorship.

It seems the nearly two-hour movie will have to be cut down to an hour and a half.

There's still some resistance here.

Deleting this is no small matter; he's afraid of cutting out the essence of it.

Li Yun wasn't as worried about this as Jiang Wen; so be it if it gets deleted.

Li Yun was aware of all the parts that might be cut, but unfortunately, the White Rabbit candy was missing.

It's possible that audiences in theaters won't be able to see it.

At this moment.

After completing preparations for the upcoming release of "Let the Bullets Fly".

I'm just waiting for its release.

After that, it should have been between when he joined the crew to finish filming the second half of "New Three Kingdoms".

There's also *Bodyguards and Assassins*, a patriotic film made before *The Founding of a Republic* and *The Founding of the Party*. It's a bold production that combines two completely separate genres: commercial and patriotic.

after that.

You should have enough resources to make your own movie.

A film that I invest in, produce, and write myself.

Li Yun had enough scripts in his mind, but at the same time, he also needed to gather enough experience and skills.

To complete the film production

What will his next movie need to film? Don't worry, as a perk of being a time traveler, Li Yun already has many excellent movie scripts in his head.

These scripts require excellent skills and techniques to present.

Yes, Li Yun knew exactly what he needed to do.

At this moment, the superstar and director personas are looking at themselves.

Zhuge Liang was also nearby.

There is also a chaotic split personality.

On one hand, there is disease.

On one side lies the path to fame and fortune, filled with gold, silver, treasures, and delicacies.

They are clearly separated on both sides, yet they share the same origin and are inseparable.

"I have many excellent domestic and foreign screenplays in mind, such as 'The Three-Body Problem' and 'The Wandering Earth,' but the filming difficulty of some of these screenplays is simply beyond my current capabilities."

"Wait for me. Wait until I film you and send you away."

at this time.

The controversy surrounding Asian Cinema Window is still unfolding.

The reason why members of Beijing's elite circles didn't come to offer their congratulations is also related to Wang Chen.

"He's not even part of our Beijing circle, so why should we congratulate him? Besides, he hasn't completely secured a spot at Asian Cinema Window yet."

"It's precisely because he didn't actually win the Asian Film Window award, but the whole world knows he has this uncrowned laurel, that his fame and recognition surpass even the Asian World Window awards we've received before. Even our highly anticipated film, *Under the Camphor Tree*, was overshadowed. Doesn't that prove Li Yun's talent?" Zhang the Bearded Man sipped his tea, speaking sarcastically. "I personally think Li Yun is incredibly talented."

"What happens in our film industry is none of your business in the television industry."

"Wow, you've divided it into such a clear category. You guys are really united, you import circle."

After putting down his tea, Zhang the Bearded Man clicked his tongue and said, "I'm leaving now, I have something to do."

He didn't want to stay in the "Beijing circle" where Wang Chen was now.

Wang Chen used to be involved in Beijing's elite social circles.

It's just that after he got promoted at Huaying Film Company, he contacted people in the industry less. His roles in films like *War and Peace* and *Titanic* back then...

Of course, some passive contact is inevitable.

After all, Wang Chen has close ties with Hollywood, and countless people would love to curry favor with him.

As one of the most prestigious social circles in China, the Beijing elite circle also attracts many people who aspire to climb the social ladder on the international stage.

Here, Wang Chen subtly revealed his dislike for Li Yun, causing the entire Beijing social circle to fall silent. Everyone was preoccupied with something.

the other side.

Xie Qingya, responsible for internal investments

They then had a completely different attitude towards Li Yun.

The chain reaction lies in this.

This time, it's "Bodyguards and Assassins".

Xie Qingya spent an entire night thinking about a decision.

Increase the stakes—

Go and add more weight to "Bodyguards and Assassins".

"I want to increase investment."

Regardless of the surrounding noise, no one thought that "Bodyguards and Assassins," a work with a mixed positioning, could achieve the effect promised in the film. Combining a mainstream theme with commercial appeal is not an easy task.

It's not entirely because director Li Yun seems to lack experience.

Rather, the feeling of wanting both ways was so strong that even within Huaying Film Studio, people weren't too optimistic about the project, only cautiously so.

If we were to invest more, it would easily result in more losses than gains.

Xie Qingya still made this decision.

"Li Yun, don't let me down!"

In this regard.

Wang Chen's reaction was also very genuine; he gave a cold laugh.

"Your biggest mistake was being impulsive. What good does winning an Asian film award do you think? Does it mean you'll have smooth sailing and be worry-free? Those small-scale projects are ultimately not up to par. He can handle small-scale stories, but large-scale scenes are not his forte. They're not something he can excel at."

"Your internal investment department will eventually disappear into the past, like dust settling in the wind."

The feedback from Asian Cinema Window is still developing.

However, it didn't cause much of a stir in the TV drama industry, especially for the "New Three Kingdoms" production team.

They are still working diligently on the filming schedule.

They are deaf and blind to what is happening in the outside world.

Li Yun is ready.

He returned to the set of "New Three Kingdoms" for the final filming, to complete his final mission as Zhuge Liang.

Before this.

Li Yun still had to go to the martial arts association for an appointment.

This time, he was acting as the chief spokesperson for the Wushu Association, and the Wushu Association didn't care about Li Yun's nomination for the Asian Film Window.

The martial arts association only knows that Li Yun, who is standing in front of them, is a genuine and orthodox Wing Chun successor.

When Li Yun arrived at the martial arts association, he was greeted by Wu Jing and his son.

Wu Jing looked at Li Yun with a complicated expression.

Thinking back to the first time we met, we were evenly matched and had a mutual respect for each other.

But this young man has long since left himself far behind.

Whether as a martial artist or an actor.

This is all the case.

When I saw Li Yun.

The feeling of living inside a dog's belly became even stronger.

"I never expected that you would be so different from what you were back then. I was the one who issued you the Level 3 Martial Artist certificate." Wu Jinquan looked at Li Yun with some emotion.

Back when I was still Li Yun, I was just a small-time actor who got a martial arts certificate to increase my standing.

Unlike now.

Not just his status as an actor.

As a martial artist.

"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence. Some time has passed since then, so it's not surprising that I've grown a little." Li Yun smiled slightly at this moment.

This is not a small amount of growth.

Wu Jing and Wu Jinquan, who were standing nearby, felt that this was the result of a sapling growing into a towering tree.

This kind of growth.

It gives one a feeling of being in another world.

"Why don't you get a Wuying-level certificate? Judging from your current skills, it shouldn't be that difficult for you to get one." Wu Jinquan looked at Li Yun with curiosity, feeling a little strange.

I was just a little curious.

"busy."

Li Yun's answer was also concise and to the point.

It's because I'm busy.

Making TV shows and movies to rid myself of those different personalities has already left me mentally exhausted.

These documents are not given such high priority.

This thing is actually pretty good as long as it's sufficient.

Only then did Wu Jing and Wu Jinquan suddenly remember.

The guy in front of us, who is proving to be a master of martial arts, is not a professional martial artist.

Although he is skilled in martial arts.

But in reality, his profession is acting.

Martial arts are merely a tool for others to achieve their goals.

It's different from the martial arts they practice.

"I understand, Mr. Li." Wu Jinquan's eyes couldn't be more complicated, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire Li Yun's persistence.

There was nothing Li Yun could do.

These aspects of my own personality.

Gold coins exploded.

That is the main reason for my growth.

The main driving force.

And next, he will serve as the chief spokesperson for the Wushu Association.

Brand ambassador.

Li Yun had no idea where the event would be held next.

It turned out to be a hospital.

"Martial arts should have adapted to the times long ago and become a fitness exercise, strengthening the body and improving health. That is the greatest significance of martial arts. The spirit that martial arts represents is the highest realm of kung fu. Everything else is superficial," Wu Jinquan said with emotion.

Of course, despite his feelings, Wu Jing was still talking from the side.

"Martial arts still retains some elements. It has always been a fighting technique born for survival, for fighting and competing. Although its significance has long been replaced in modern times, we, the inheritors, must never forget the true nature of these things."

Martial arts are killing techniques.

What Wu Jing inherited was the art of killing.

He remembered this from beginning to end.

However, in modern times, it is no longer needed as a technique for killing.

All we need is him as a symbol of unwavering perseverance.

Traditional martial arts have been replaced by spear techniques.

At this moment, Wu Jing recalled his memories of the shooting range in the suburbs of Beijing.

A scene of someone holding a pistol and shooting.

I rely on.

That thing is within seven steps.

It was truly fast and accurate.

"So times have changed, and we must adapt to them. We should use martial arts as a technique to strengthen our bodies. Only when we are physically strong can we survive better. Isn't that a survival skill? Especially for people with sub-health issues these days, I think the necessity of martial arts is beyond doubt."

At this moment, Wu Jinquan joked.

The next scene is a hospital.

Go to the hospital to take a set of promotional photos.

As the exclusive spokesperson for the Wushu Association.

A legitimate successor of kung fu.

Li Yun possesses a wide range of martial arts skills.

"I didn't expect the next place to take promotional photos would be a hospital." Li Yun stroked his chin, finding it quite amusing.

That seems quite reasonable.

Techniques for improving physical fitness.

The technology that allowed them to survive.

For modern people, the lack of exercise leads to sub-health.

A diet high in oil, salt, and calories.

Everything became an obstacle to health.

Martial arts are a skill that helps one survive.

His existence seems perfectly reasonable, especially since the filming took place in a hospital.

That's roughly it.

Li Yun arrived at the hospital as promised, the Second People's Hospital of Beijing.

Li Yun then changed into a kung fu outfit.

Once you've put on makeup, the rest is simple: strike a few kung fu poses, perform a few punches, take a few photos, and you're done.

Once you've completed these actions...

Every year thereafter, one million would be deposited into Li Yun's account.

As the exclusive spokesperson, the image is one of steady and enduring growth.

Li Yun realized that it was no wonder those old masters of traditional martial arts coveted this position so much.

They're occupying the space and won't come down.

The benefits of combining are really significant.

It's really good.

"People's health problems are becoming increasingly serious in this day and age, so we call on everyone to practice martial arts."

The host's voice was buzzing.

Li Yun sat to the side, idly watching the passersby at the hospital.

When was the last time I came to the hospital?

It must have been from a past life.

Ironically, I still contracted a disease and came into this world.

tmd.

It's ridiculous.

A tragic way to die.

However, I am physically healthy now, if we exclude mental health issues.

That certainly qualifies as robust.

After all, the system added a lot of his physique points.

These points were not added for nothing.

From then on, Li Yun rarely thought about health issues anymore.

Now we're at the hospital.

I couldn't help but recall when I was terminally ill in my previous life.

It feels like I've come here again.

The sounds around me gradually became clearer.

beg for mercy.

I beg God to spare my life.

I pray to God to spare my mother/husband/wife/son.

Some people knelt on the ground in devotion.

Some people wept silently.

Some described him as emaciated, with empty eyes staring ahead.

These memories evoked the overlap of Li Yun's two lifetimes.

Ah, I remember now, my feelings about hospitals.

If you were to ask where the most devout voice in the world would appear.

That definitely isn't a temple.

It's here.
