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

Chapter 454, The Three-Body Problem Begins Filming

The Trisolarans are a fascinating race with a high level of intelligence.

Centralized politics.

Advanced technology.

However, it also possesses an extremely harsh living environment, with three days suspended in the air, an event that occurs every epoch.

The mass extinctions brought about by the Ice Age would make the living environment of organisms extremely harsh, leading to their decline.

But the three days of scorching heat from above brought immense disaster and terror.

The sun, upon which life depends for its birth, is now becoming a death warrant.

Although the Trisolarans were able to escape by dehydrating, the Trisolaran problem has never disappeared.

They have always existed here, and the Trisolarans found a solution: to migrate beyond their own planet.

Li Yun also felt the tragedy of civilization. No matter how I develop technology or struggle, I will always encounter the Trisolaran problem. The scorching sun high in the sky will burn life and civilization.

Whenever the Trisolarans develop into a civilization of a certain scale, the Trisolaran problem will arise, leading to the extinction of that era's civilization.

Countless Trisolaran heroes, with their extraordinary talents, found solutions to many physical laws, but none could escape the fate of being destroyed by the three suns.

The rules governing the universe are so cruel.

His coldness was chilling.

When Li Yun immersed himself in the experience, he deeply felt the coldness of the heart beneath the scorching sun.

The fragility and cruelty of life are laid bare at this moment.

The destruction of civilization can happen in the blink of an eye.

live.

The Trisolaran civilization has been destroyed and reborn, with each era attempting to solve this problem.

live.

A survival strategy that disregards everything, a civilization passed down from generation to generation—this is the weight of life.

The unbearably cruel weight of life.

Ultimately, the only conclusion the Trisolarans reached was: escape.

And just right.

Far away in the solar system, a planet sent out a signal.

A signal sent across light-years and time.

Tell him.

We are here.

At this very moment, the Trisolarans knew.

found it.

The place we are going to.

At this moment, Li Yun felt as if he had experienced the birth and destruction of an era, and it took him countless years to awaken from this detached feeling.

Even when I wake up, I feel a sense of detachment.

I found myself lying in a hotel bed.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, and the feeling of being completely drenched was as if Li Yun felt he had learned the Trisolarans' dehydration skills.

"water!"

Li Yun went to get a drink of water, opened the mineral water bottle, and then gulped it down his throat.

The scorching sun still lingers in my body, a feeling of the sun burning away the very source of life.

It's an absolutely incredible ability that evolved in order to survive, and its role as an intelligent life form is far too extreme.

Ugly, but the ability to survive.

Li Yun now harbors a strong desire to have his Trisolaran fleet launch an attack on Earth without hesitation or ruthlessness.

What's wrong with being a little despicable for the sake of the survival of the race?

Li Yun felt a strong sense of empathy for the Trisolarans, after all, he had just existed as a Trisolaran himself.

wrong.

I shouldn't have done that.

I am Li Yun, an Earthling, a Chinese, and not some kind of magical creature that can dehydrate.

I am human!

but but

The sense of confusion I felt as a Trisolaran left a deep impression.

Survival, survival, survival!

The central theme of The Three-Body Problem!

Survive!

The Trisolarans fought for survival, and so did the Earthlings!

Everything we did was for her mother to survive.

"So, once you exist as a Trisolaran, will you be able to wield the sword and exist as its wielder? Or will you, like Cheng Xin, be too soft-hearted and ultimately destroy yourself?"

appeared again.

It's Luo Ji's voice.

Making choices between the birth and destruction of civilizations is a truly profound burden, especially after Li Yun, as a Trisolaran, experienced the destruction of Trisolaris.

That feeling of empathy arises uncontrollably.

Because a tiny person cannot bear such weight.

Li Yun stared blankly at the sword in his hand. Should he swing it? What would he use to wield it?

Rationality versus sensibility?

What kind of grand emotion could drive me to perish together with others?

crazy.

The person in front of me is going crazy.

Is Li Yun about to go crazy?

"Will he go mad like this? Will he finally succumb to the overwhelming and confused emotions? Will he descend into madness? This is the first time he's experienced this overwhelming feeling. Yes, his way of rehearsing is suicide; he'll be corrupted one day."

At this moment, the director's persona looked at the seemingly deranged Li Yun.

He had never seen him like this before, like he had gone mad, letting his thoughts race through his mind.

"If he goes crazy, will his brain get fried?" the director asked the superstar next to him.

"I don't know. All I know is that he seems to have walked into a dead end. Maybe this really is his last time."

Even superstars admire him.

Bearing so many mixed emotions, it's amazing that it has managed to get here unscathed.

No, we can't say they're completely unharmed, can we?

However, just as the two were discussing...

Li Yun let out a strange, gurgling laugh—a grotesque laugh, a maniacal laugh, a mad laugh.

Even the two individuals who are their personalities find these bizarre laughs utterly insane.

What is he thinking?

"Hahahaha! What are you trying to use to restrain me? Try to drive me crazy? No, you can't do it! Absolutely, absolutely not! All sorts of confused emotions!"

"You think you can drive me insane?"

What is happening in Li Yun's consciousness at this very moment.

Under Luo Ji's shocked gaze, he brandished his longsword and, as the swordsman, unhesitatingly issued a signal—a signal of mutual destruction.

As a Trisolaran, I did not hesitate to command the fleet to set off from the other side of the starry sky and head towards Earth.

To live, to destroy.

Are these two feelings confused? The stances are confused, but the feelings are absolutely the same.

Selfish.

Fighting for survival is selfish, and wielding a sword to exert deterrence is also selfish.

Is this emotion confused?

I am willing to take my entire civilization with me and perish together with you, and I am also willing to command the Trisolaran fleet without hesitation.

Because that's just who I am.

A person who, without hesitation, lives life to the fullest through selfishness.

My driving force is fucking selfishness.

Right, Luo Ji?

"Hmph," Luo Ji said, looking at Li Yun without being confused at all.

Because of living selfishly.

Selfish acts of mutual destruction are things Li Yun is capable of doing.

This is the most profound emotion in Li Yun's life.

instinct!

How can I maintain my sense of self amidst repeated personality splits?

Even the Trisolarans who became aliens this time were able to maintain their true selves and make choices from the bottom of their hearts in the end.

Maintaining its own existence.

Li Yun could clearly feel his emotions; it was a strange feeling.

When selfishness comes into my mind, I can clearly feel and perceive what kind of person I really am.

I felt the burning intensity of my existence.

Using these negative emotions to understand oneself.

It sounds strange, but it really works, whether it's the Trisolarans, Earthlings, or the Swordholders.

That's the happiest thing.

When all my motivations are based on selfishness.

No emotion can affect me.

At this moment, Li Yun had completely figured out how to film the scene.

That kind of selfish feeling that is deeply ingrained in one's bones.

It is the selfishness of civilization.

It is the selfishness of life.

"I'm ready. I'm sorry you can't be the female lead this time."

"I'm not upset. Actually, I know that this role doesn't seem to suit me very well."

At this moment, Liu Qianqian faced Li Yun calmly, smiling gently.

After auditioning with Zhang Jingchu, it was ultimately this actress from the Hong Kong entertainment circle who landed the role.

I don't feel regretful, because Ye Wenjie is really not suitable for her.

An actor's range is always limited; there are always roles that are suitable and roles that are not. No one can play every role.

Otherwise, why is there only one actor in this era who can portray a thousand faces?

Is it that other people don't want to be in that position?

No, even Tony Leung Ka-fai can't truly portray a thousand different faces.

Being a versatile actor is his style, a manifestation of his method acting reaching its ultimate peak.

There are always roles that don't suit me.

That's perfectly normal.

Appearance is one factor, but so is temperament. Liu Qianqian's temperament is not quite suitable for Ye Wenjie.

She wasn't suffering; it was the wisdom and poise that came from experiencing hardship that Liu Qianqian lacked.

One cannot force oneself to have what one does not have.

Without truly experiencing hardship, no matter how well one acts, it's just a superficial facade.

But Zhang Jingchu was different. Her acting career was not smooth sailing at all. Without a background or education, she started in a crude and barbaric place.

Unlike the high and mighty princess, when the princess first debuted, she was already facing royalty and nobility in the entertainment industry.

Unlike Zhang Jingchu, who rose from humble beginnings, Liu Qianqian experienced things that Liu Qianqian would never have. She came from the ranks of the lowest social classes.

That's the dirtiest corner of the entertainment industry.

Having climbed up from that place, she fully understands what it means to experience hardship.

For Liu Qianqian, the concept of hardship might simply be her mother's lack of support for her dreams, which is on a completely different level from the hardships experienced by others.

Because of this.

Zhang Jingchu can understand the so-called hardships.

That wasn't just a sentence; it was a memory etched into my bones, forged from snow and flesh.

Therefore, she completely outshone Liu Qianqian in Ye Wenjie's performance.

That unforgettable feeling of being persecuted.

Only she could perform so well, and at this moment, Liu Qianqian also felt a completely new understanding.

Acting skills don't come out of thin air. No matter what kind of acting style you choose, it all requires the accumulation of life experiences and lessons learned.

I still lack a lot of experience.

To refine acting skills and create a sense of realism.

At this moment, the Three-Body Problem production team is also ready.

Everyone has read the script, their own script.

To be honest, after reading the script to this point, both Eddie Peng and Tony Leung Ka-fai have put aside their underestimation of the script.

One came seeking the exhilaration of acting, while the other brought with him a pillar of the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Their initial goals actually had little to do with the TV series "The Three-Body Problem".

I'm addicted to acting with Li Yun.

Or perhaps trust in Li Yun's acting skills has little to do with the script itself.

Most people don't have high expectations for domestic science fiction scripts, after all, it's a genre that has been dormant for a long time, so how good can the quality be?

If we really have to say something, we can piggyback on the novelty of a domestic science fiction drama. Maybe people will be curious and watch this so-called science fiction work.

That was the expectation everyone had for the script.

But when I saw the script, from the villains to their motivations to the cultural environment of their planet...

And then there's the so-called human computer in Wang Miao's script.

The idea of ​​building a computer from flesh and blood is something no human could possibly come up with.

So how exactly should we film it?

But from between the lines, Eddie Peng realized one thing: the script in front of her, called The Three-Body Problem, was indeed a science fiction work. A work that was hard to describe, but was definitely science fiction.

He found it somewhat unbelievable.

Li Yun actually managed to create the TV series "The Three-Body Problem," proving it's not a paper tiger.

At this moment, Li Yun stepped forward. In front of everyone, his eyes seemed a little bloodshot from staying up all night, but one could also see a different kind of excitement in them, a kind of excitement of complete release.

It seems that the Li Yun who came to hand out scripts to everyone yesterday is not the same person.

It's a bit intimidating. It has a haughty and aloof air about it.

To rule and control the world like a god.

That feeling of being in control, that aggressiveness, was like a real "extraterrestrial threat."

This feeling was very strong, especially for Tony Leung Ka-fai. Although Li Yun did not play a role on screen, he was clearly also a presence in the "Three-Body Problem" crew.

The characters that appear on screen are not the only ones who are characters.

"Now that everyone is ready, let's officially start filming."

At this moment, with a shout from Li Yun.

The TV series adaptation of The Three-Body Problem has officially started filming, marking the first time Liu Cixin's work has been brought to the world's attention.

A work that shocked the world back then.

The first sentence.

The first line of dialogue comes from Yang Dong.

Physics no longer exists.
