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

Chapter 480, The Ragnarok Army Among Ragnarok Armies?

"I have a feeling that our film crew is now even more of a ragtag group than a ragtag army."

At this point, Peng Yuyan joked with Tony Leung Ka-fai that after collaborating on "The Three-Body Problem," the newcomer and the veteran had become somewhat familiar with each other.

The current "Hidden Corner" can truly be considered a ragtag army among ragtag armies.

The Beijing entertainment circle, the Hong Kong entertainment circle, and even the idol group circle, plus ordinary people, have formed this wave of somewhat strange film crew projects.

"I, as a ragtag group, will only speak according to the script and will not offer any opinions."

Tony Leung Ka-fai looked at the script. This time, he was playing an important positive role, Chan Kwun-sang.

Eddie Peng plays Wang Jun, Zhang Dongsheng's brother-in-law.

It seems that neither of them plays any important roles, so this time Li Yun gives Tony Leung and Eddie Peng another task.

See the character in another script.

Wang Lei from "The Wandering Earth" and Han Ziang

These are the roles they should really focus on.

In "The Hidden Corner," the only lead actors are Li Yun and this guy named Zhang Yi.

An ordinary person from an orphanage.

One. An illegitimate child, a big star, a strong contender for the title of "Master of a Thousand Faces".

glamorous young people

If a person succeeds, their past will be gilded.

Alone and helpless, he drifted the streets, living a solitary life.

These have become symbols of perseverance and excellent qualities. They have even been claimed that without these hardships, there would be no Li Yun today, no young man with such ambition that he wants to create a "Li circle".

The filming of "The Hidden Corner" officially began here.

Zhang Yi, this young man, this "good boy," doesn't understand what acting is.

Just before filming began, Zhang Yi remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"I don't know anything about filming."

"Everyone starts from a point of ignorance," Li Yun said, looking at the boy. "Back then, you chose to stand up, didn't you?"

"Don't speak, I know what you want to say. What you really want to do is not to act, but to escape that environment. You're not comfortable living there, are you?"

"you"

Zhang Yi was stunned, because Li Yun had guessed his thoughts again, as if all his thoughts and pretenses were useless in front of the older brother in front of him.

Li Yun looked at the complete novice in front of her who had never acted before.

"Be yourself"

Zhang Dongsheng.

What kind of person am I?

A person who is insecure and timid, yet willing to do anything for love. At school, I'm seen as a good husband and teacher; I go straight home after get off work, don't drink or smoke, and am handsome.

Everyone envies my wife for having such a good husband.

But in reality, my marriage had reached a point of no return, on the verge of collapse.

In order to marry this wife, I became a live-in son-in-law and came to this city alone.

Without relatives and friends, everything from the past is now just a distant memory.

I am a math teacher at the Children's Palace.

There is no formal employment status and no path to promotion.

I still don't regret it.

As the best math teacher at the Children's Palace, I possess all the necessary qualities: ability, appearance, and personality.

I possess all the qualities of a perfect man.

A perfect husband.

At home, I am also subservient, even somewhat humble in front of my wife.

Li Yun calmly examined his own feelings about being named Zhang Dongsheng.

They were even somewhat indifferent.

observe.

Copying.

Li Yun had a very strange feeling. His body could immerse itself in the experience, but his soul, the self named Li Yun, could deeply understand and reject it.

In the face of his family, he became humble and cowardly, sparing no effort to please them, which is somewhat pathological.

It is extremely morbid.

Li Yun had to admit that this morbid feeling was very much in line with his own. This morbidity was evolving within his own flesh and blood.

This confirmed one thing for Li Yun once again.

There is no need to rely on the power of the system anymore.

They don't need to use the various personalities in their minds, or even the acting skills they've honed.

Nothing at all is needed.

He didn't need any of these things; he could become the perfect Zhang Dongsheng—that was the feeling deep within his very bones, in his flesh and marrow.

"Do I still have a chance?"

Zhang Dongsheng, a seemingly perfect man, was on the verge of his marriage falling apart. But when he was on the verge of breaking down, he resorted to an extreme method to try and save his marriage.

What appears to be a perfect marriage and perfect people to outsiders is actually on the verge of breaking apart.

He seemed to have given up on this broken marriage.

He shifted all the responsibility onto his parents-in-law.

After receiving a negative answer.

Zhang Dongsheng, a somewhat timid son-in-law who had always lived with his wife's family, stood on the edge of a cliff, beaming with joy.

"Let me help you move them to the right place."

"OK."

In the past, Zhang Dongsheng would respond to wanton insults and personal slander with the most cowardly and weak attitude, behaving like a qualified live-in son-in-law and a qualified punching bag.

He perfectly embodied cowardice.

Everyone present believed it, including Leung Ka-fai and Eddie Peng, who were staring at Li Yun at that moment.

Even if you know how the script will unfold.

But looking at Zhang Dongsheng now, they couldn't help but feel pity for him; the poor man was living a life of grievance and humiliation.

The acting was so expressive, it was almost visceral.

The performance was so nuanced and deeply moving.

An actor who applies his acting skills to his life.

This is Zhang Dongsheng.

Do I still have a chance?

I'm sorry, you don't have a chance anymore.

Then you won't have a chance either.

On the edge of a precipice, Zhang Dongsheng pushed his parents-in-law off the cliff to kill them in order to protect his fragile marriage and family.

The sudden burst of ferocity in his eyes sent a chill down one's spine.

A well-behaved adult.

A perfect role model in the eyes of others.

He is not perfect.

Zhang Dongsheng felt wronged, and his pitiful expression won everyone's trust when questioned by the police.

Even his wife completely believed in him.

They placed their complete trust in him.

But trusting him didn't mean she didn't blame him. Zhang Jingchu slapped Li Yun's face repeatedly, venting her grievances and anger.

Why didn't you keep a close eye on your parents?

It was my fault, I'm so sorry, please forgive me, honey!

Zhang Dongsheng felt wronged.

In front of his wife, he became the obedient adult that the good boy had transformed into, an obedient adult that no one would think he would do anything wrong.

He always had an innocent and harmless appearance.

There was even a hint of grievance.

The duality of public and private personas is vividly portrayed.

Zhang Dongsheng's duality, his two different faces, allows everyone to see that this good adult, this obedient adult, actually has two faces, one in front of others and one behind their backs.

Two completely different personalities.

His handsome face was bald.

His gentle and mild-mannered nature is easily enraged when a child splashes water on his pants with a water gun.

It would drive him to hysteria.

Everything suggested that he was an incompetent person.

One of the reasons for his failed marriage was his incompetence.

He doesn't have that ability.

That's how suspense dramas are filmed. Many things are foreshadowed and hinted at, left to the reader's guess, feeling, and interpretation in various corners of the script.

Therefore, he has two sides, one in public and one in private.

Like a well-behaved child, he is incredibly obedient in front of others, but who truly knows what he's like behind closed doors?

This is the meaning behind the title of the drama "The Hidden Corner": peeking into the shadows of human nature in a hidden and secluded corner.

"His one-man show is really impressive."

At this point, one has to admire Li Yun, who played the role of Zhang Dongsheng very well.

The young actor, Jackson Yee, looked at Li Yun with obvious admiration. To be honest, if it weren't for his parents' arrangement, he wouldn't want to be a member of a boy band.

He wanted to become an actor directly.

He went to pursue the idol he admired.

But when he entered this industry, his elders told him to start with a boy band, to build up his fame as a teenage idol group, and then debut.

After that, it doesn't matter whether you choose to hone your acting skills or make other choices, but securing your niche first is definitely a good thing.

But this made him feel a little unhappy, and he thought it would be better to take things step by step. He was never someone who liked the idol path. He had never said this to anyone because he was an idol. If he said that he didn't like the idol path because the noise from the fans made him feel tired, he would definitely be ruined.

The noise would affect his career.

Jackson Yee understands this.

The noise from fans is making him feel uncomfortable.

Especially among the child actors, everyone was quite upset, wondering why he would give a third lead role to an amateur. Were they looking down on him?

To be honest, although Jackson Yee hates the noise from fans, this time he has to admit why he can be the lead actor while I can only be the third lead actor.

An ordinary person.

An ordinary person who came from an orphanage.

The education Jackson Yee received taught him not to bully the weak, but in reality, he has had such an impulse more than once.

"They don't like me because I'm like someone who just parachuted in here out of nowhere. I have nothing, but here, I accepted Brother Li Yun's gift and inexplicably became an actor. I didn't want to take anything from others, but somehow, this happened to me."

Zhang Yi fell silent at this moment.

I stood here, looking at the script and enduring the prejudice of others in the crew.

At this moment.

Zhang Yi then found Li Yun and asked him again.

How can I play this role well?

As an actor.

"I really don't understand acting."

"Yeah?"

At this moment, Li Yun was looking at the boy named Zhang Yi in front of him.

At this moment, Li Yun seamlessly broke free from Zhang Dongsheng's perception.

Everyone felt that Li Yunyou's acting skills were admirable.

It has reached a level of consummate skill.

Both sides of Zhang Dongsheng.

The way Li Yun's acting was so convincing and skillful was truly remarkable. His performance was so profound and deeply moving that it was simply incredible.

Do you think my acting is good?

"Okay, you're a big star. I've seen you many times in the TV dramas at the orphanage. You're practically a household name across China. You're our idol."

His eyes were clear.

Her voice, with a hint of ingratiation, was very pleasant to listen to.

This made Li Yun even more convinced that letting Zhang Yi test Zhu Chaoyang was the right choice.

There were many purposes behind making this film.

Use it to delve into the suspense genre and acquire resources to film The Wandering Earth.

The voices of Zhang Dongsheng and Zhu Chaoyang, these two bad guys, are like those hidden deep within his own body, belonging neither to his own messy personalities nor to the acting skills he has practiced.

It's like something deeply ingrained in his very bones.

It's etched deep in my bones.

Li Yun was very curious about the composition of the sensation in the bone marrow.

It's like facing your past self.

At that moment, Li Yun squatted down and looked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was also startled.

But his gaze did not waver; when he met Li Yun's eyes, he had a strange feeling.

Just like when facing one's own kind.

When Zhang Yi faced Li Yun, and Zhu Chaoyang faced Zhang Dongsheng, the thought of facing opponents of the same kind made him involuntarily feel a little flustered, but this fluster quickly disappeared.

He was also very composed.

"See, isn't your acting perfect?" Li Yun smiled slightly. "Keep it up and be a good kid."

"Pretend to be a good child."

Zhang Yi's eyes looked completely innocent.

I've always been a good kid, so why would I pretend?

I've always been a good person, so why should I pretend?

Li Yun looked at Zhang Yi as if he were looking at himself, living behind a mask. The self hidden beneath the mask is unknown to others; this is the hidden corner.

The self in a hidden corner.

Just be yourself.

At this moment, Zhang Yi was looking at the script.

Looking at the play that I'm about to act in.

I met with my father.

"Training amateurs is not a simple matter; you have to be prepared for a long time."

At this moment, Leung Ka-fai was also a little curious as to why Li Yun had chosen the most difficult path, letting an unknown child picked from an orphanage take on the role. Actually, choosing from among child stars would have been quite good.

For example, the actor who plays Yan Liang, Jackson Yee, is a very promising talent.

To be able to do this without having received professional and systematic acting training.

He is talented.

At that moment, he was looking in the other direction.

The scene we filmed today.

Zhu Chaoyang, a withdrawn yet intelligent boy, is celebrating his reunion with his father today. His face is beaming with joy.

But when he saw his father with his remarried wife and daughter beside him...

His eyes froze.

Even the slightest change doesn't seem like acting.

Falling from heaven to hell.
