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

Chapter 456, Don't Respond, Get Completely Immersed in the Role!

This world has gone mad!

It's like left isn't left, right isn't right, up isn't up, and down isn't down!

If everything is turned upside down, can your worldview still exist?

This world has gone mad. Its worldview has been burned and collapsed. What is there left to exist?

The scientist's worldview was shattered. Life, therefore, no longer held meaning or rationality.

Therefore, suicide became the only option.

When all reason in life is lost, madness may also occur even in the most rational of people.

When this scene was finished filming, Wang Chuanjun still had a dazed and crazed expression on his face.

Peng Yuyan also vaguely saw two billiard balls flying in the sky, defying gravity and soaring erratically.

How are they flying?

silence.

Both Wang Chuanjun's immersive performance and Peng Yuyan's acting left the Hong Kong actors present with a sense of awe.

Yes, it was a truly awe-inspiring experience, an unparalleled, breathtaking feeling.

"Young actors from these two continents."

Liang Jiahui looked at Wang Chuanjun at this moment and felt a little incredulous.

Does he look like a scientist? No.

Just like Zhang Jingchu, she doesn't seem like a scientist either.

But that feeling was right—that sense of conviction that even those who don't understand science or science fiction could understand.

When the 'billiard ball' you're used to seeing flies around in all its glory, who wouldn't go crazy? Who wouldn't go insane!

My worldview has been shattered to pieces.

That's terrifying!

Damn it, Li Yun, who came up with this kind of descriptive style, is a monster.

The script for a science fiction work is extremely important, depending on its form of expression.

What were the modes of expression in previous science fiction works?

Several strangely shaped monsters that fit stereotypes, a mysterious and eerie UFO, an invincible iron man covered in iron armor who can fly, and they throw parties in their spare time.

Superhero science fiction, a Western style of expression, is full of wild imagination. That's the feeling science fiction gives people. There are no cool aliens, and there haven't been any yet.

But his way of expressing himself has a lot more feeling than typical science fiction and supernatural works.

Something that gives people a science fiction feel even without the appearance of bizarre aliens.

This is a wildly imaginative way of expressing oneself.

From an outsider's perspective, Tony Leung Ka-fai was also captivated. The seeds of curiosity sprouted in his heart, not as a character in the play, but as an outsider, as a viewer, and he became curious about him.

Even though his scenes were short and brief, he wanted to stay, read the entire script, and understand what the Three-Body Problem really was!

As a spectator, observe what is before you.

A burning curiosity was aroused.

"I never expected that he would actually lead such a ragtag group all the way. His charisma is really strange."

At this moment, Xie Qingya was still somewhat shocked.

Originally, according to her plan, Li Yun should have been the one to ask her for help, but she didn't expect that he could actually manage to utilize this connection on his own.

It's incredible that they managed to assemble this team.

What kind of promises did he make that made all those Hong Kong remnants and scions, who were envious of various circles, flock to him for refuge?

You have to understand that Li Yun is being targeted by the Beijing entertainment circle. If you don't give him face as the most important circle, you'll find it very difficult to move forward in the future.

For people in Beijing's elite circles, saving face is of paramount importance.

If you don't give me face, don't blame me for not giving you anything in return. Maybe those people in the Hong Kong circle didn't think the consequences would be that serious.

But at least from now on, this group of people shouldn't look for people from the Beijing circle anymore.

Is it ignorance or courage? At least for now, the entire Beijing social circle looks at these bumpkins with pity.

Their circle has declined to the point where they have to beg for food, and they even have to beg from poor families.

It's really hard to understand the people from this small place.

Perhaps it really is a limited perspective.

What's even more incomprehensible is that Eddie Peng is a "traitor".

He left the place that had such high hopes for him in the most foolish way. He could have enjoyed abundant resources and opportunities for advancement in both the CCTV circle and the Beijing circle.

Having grown accustomed to delicacies, they now crave simple fare.

And there's no turning back now; he'll probably only be able to play some old-fashioned, positive roles in CCTV from now on.

It's not impossible, but in this industry where seniority is crucial, by the time you finally rise to the top, you might already be middle-aged or elderly, and you might no longer have the energy to enjoy all that fame and fortune brings.

This is the characteristic of the circle, a unique feature.

Perhaps ridicule has become the dominant sentiment during this period.

Of course, the most crucial element is the script. For science fiction works, a good script and a good director are inseparable.

The filming of science fiction works has some unique aspects. In other fields, the voices of screenwriters and directors may not be as well-known as those of actors. However, in science fiction works, the importance of screenwriters and directors is much greater than that of actors.

In a sense, even if you assemble a ragtag team, as long as the director and screenwriter are competent, it's not impossible to make it work. In other words, science fiction works don't rely so heavily on actors.

To put it another way...

The idea that an actor can save a show is simply not true in science fiction. Science fiction relies heavily on the screenwriter and director; if either of them is bad, even a miracle won't save it.

This is why there are very few works in this category; the elements required to make a good work are too demanding, and the resulting benefits are not cost-effective.

This land has no fertile ground for science fiction to grow.

However, Li Yun's field was not exactly fertile ground either, as science fiction was an absolutely nonexistent area in China.

"He's a bit too eager for quick success. I'm not talking about his talent as a screenwriter, but if we're talking about his talent as a director, he should take his time to develop his abilities before thinking about science fiction."

At that moment, Zhang Dahuzi, who was supervising the filming of Wesley, chatted with his two colleagues.

It's a bit unbelievable, but the biggest common topic among the three of them now is probably about Li Yun. After all, they had all worked with Li Yun before, but back then, Li Yun was just an unknown nobody.

It's quite a story.

Zhang Dahuzi still remembers the feeling of being an elder when he helped him get the role.

Nowadays, the younger generation surpasses the older generation, and this older generation is truly feeling quite old, being pushed forward by the younger generation.

It's as if I can already see a corner of the beach.

In a flash, I seemed to see the extreme path I was about to take, along with the projects undertaken by two other directors of the same caliber.

As it turns out, the progress so far has indeed been quite good. Each of the three has their own area of ​​expertise and unique skills, and they have been immersed in the path of directing for a long time.

So when they work together.

There is a strong feeling that when their strengths are combined, they can create a masterpiece.

They have access to excellent scripts and directors, a strong cast, and resources from CCTV and the August First Film Studio, allowing them to freely express themselves.

A masterpiece.

Let it be born at this very moment!

A work that brings together top-tier resources and is considered an exceptionally excellent production.

It's not about cheating for subsidies; the subsidies are just icing on the cake. What's truly powerful is the foundation built upon the resources of the August 1st faction.

"He can't compare to us either. At his age, I think no one can compare to him. No one." Yu Mingsheng, who was standing next to him, sighed. He still remembered the majestic Erlang Shen when they filmed Lotus Lantern. His control over the role was unparalleled.

Even he, as the director, admired this level of control.

Li Liguo, who was standing next to him, shared the same thought and also felt that his ability was truly remarkable.

That is the ability to control the character and the ability to immerse oneself in the role.

Simply put, it's about the ability to control the characters, which is a crucial skill for any director.

However, things are different when it comes to science fiction. His ability to direct and write scripts is exceptionally high. Take Wesley for example, as long as it's not a science fiction work, all three of them are confident and capable of independently handling it.

But science fiction is a different genre, and they need to combine the strengths of all three of them to have the confidence to control and master it.

"The most critical issue is that he wrote and directed this himself. Has he ever tried science fiction before?" Li Liguo said. In other words, if the script is bad, the whole thing will fail. This kind of filming is extremely difficult.

But if the script and director do a good job, then the possibility doesn't seem very high. Let's leave those imaginative science fiction works to people with equally imaginative minds.

This time, Li Yun has completely lost his advantage.

Regarding his strengths in character portrayal, it seems he himself is not currently taking on the role in this production.

In the past, the advantages he displayed...

Having lost his greatest advantage, he has truly become just another ordinary person.

Snow and ice covered the ground, and it was cold with snow falling.

On the radar peak of the Greater Khingan Mountains, there is a place called the Red Coast Base. It was a national defense project built against the backdrop of the Cold War to counter Soviet revisionism and American imperialism.

His code name was Red Shore. The base was built around the 1960s, and most of the researchers came from the Second Artillery Corps of the People's Liberation Army.

Its main unit is a huge parabolic antenna, and its primary purpose is to create a microwave transmission system and a listening system for searching for extraterrestrial intelligent civilizations.

The purpose is to listen to sounds from the universe.

Ye Wenjie had no idea where she was from the beginning. She had been exiled here, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as an exile.

She was heartbroken to see humans recklessly cutting down trees and destroying the environment, but there was nothing she could do.

She could only reach out and touch the trees to feel the pain of their decay. A sentimental girl with a penchant for artsy types, she was extremely delicate and sensitive.

The story's background, the character's personality, and the events she experienced all contributed to shaping her character.

At this moment, Zhang Jingchu was getting into character much faster than most people would imagine. She felt pity for the plants because seeing them reminded her of her own life, which was also subject to being cut down, like fallen leaves drifting away.

She met a reporter who gave her a book called Silent Spring, a banned book, a book that should not be read by anyone.

She was framed. The person who had given her warmth and strength in her life claimed that the book was hers. Now, all she felt was the most numb seed of hatred.

What else does she possess?

A great deal of space is devoted to describing and portraying this woman named Ye Wenjie from a different perspective, highlighting her importance.

Between her past, future, and bygone days.

Li Yun originally intended to use two different characters to portray Ye Wenjie, the elderly scientist, and her younger self, reflecting the sorrow of that era.

At this moment, Zhang Jingchu shook her head. It's okay.

One is the me of the past, and the other is the me of the future.

Both are me, so why can't one person express it?

At this moment.

Even the most oblivious person can understand the characterization in this script.

The audience, characters, and actors, all engrossed in the script, proceeded as planned.

Ye Wenjie's life is covered in great detail. Both her husband Yang Weining and the political commissar Lei, who coveted her achievements, shaped her life.

This scene wasn't boring at all, at least from Tony Leung's perspective as an audience member. He even felt a little sorry for Yip Man-kit.

Until the scene where the emotions erupted was filmed.

Something that sends chills down your spine.

Ye Wenjie caught that faint signal from the sky and acted as a listener.

That was the response received by the popular music symbolizing the romance of the earth that the American ship Voyager carried back then.

This faint signal was translated.

It sent chills down everyone's spine.

Do not respond, do not respond, do not respond!
