China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 529: The Disguiser Starts

After a while, "The Pretender" directed by Li Yu is finally here.

Li Yu made some modifications to the script of "The Disguiser" so that the three brothers of the Ming family had similar roles.

Hu Ge and Huang Xiaoming are very popular, and Zhang Yi is not much behind.

I believe they would not be happy if the three of them were divided into the first, second and third males.

Any of them can now easily get the leading male role outside, so who would be willing to be a stepping stone for others to become famous?

Li Yu made their importance in the play equal, and set up multiple male protagonists without any ranking, and they were all very happy.

In addition, the original female lead, Cheng Jinyun, played by Wang Lejun, is not likable, and it can even be said that she is a character that the audience hates.

There is no problem with the actors' acting skills.

The problem is that the actor doesn’t look like a good match with Hu Ge, and the character setting is also wrong.

Cheng Jinyun and Mingtai, played by Hu Ge, are friends who have known each other for a lifetime. The two have experienced many twists and turns and dangers together, and gradually fell in love during actions and battles.

But judging from the plot, it seems that the relationship between her and Mingtai is just a superficial one.

Also, the character's personality in the original version is a bit artificial, he has a strong heart but lacks ability.

His ambition is as high as the sky, but his life is as fragile as paper. He cannot help Mingtai at the critical moment and often holds him back, putting Mingtai in danger.

It’s no surprise that such a leading female character is beaten by the other two female characters.

Whether it is Manli played by Song Yi or Mingjing played by Liu Mintao, they are much better than the leading female role Cheng Yunjin.

Especially Manli's cheongsam outfit, it's so charming.

Thanks to this role, Song Yi became one of the actresses who is considered the most suitable to wear cheongsam.

Since Li Yu has noticed the unpleasant aspects of Cheng Jinyun, he will definitely modify these bad parts.

In addition to modifying the character's personality, Li Yu invited Yan Danchen to play this role.

This way the characters will have a sense of CP.

There is no need to worry about Yan Danchen's acting skills, and even less need to worry about her appearance. She can even pull off the death hairstyle with her hair tied in a circle on her forehead.

As long as the costumes and makeup are up to par, Yan Danchen's looks are very good.

It just so happens that Li Yu never has to worry about costumes and makeup in his dramas.

Li Yu has always attached great importance to this.

In the original version, Song Yi and Liu Mintao both performed well, so Li Yu invited both of them.

Li Yu also invited supporting actors like Wang Ou and Liu Xijun who performed very well in the original version.

Improve on the parts where the original version is not good enough, and copy the answers for the parts that are already good. Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can you go further.

When the final makeup photos of "The Disguiser" were released, netizens were completely dumbfounded.

"People who know it know it's a spy drama, but people who don't think it's an idol drama. Aren't the looks of these actors a bit too high? Except for Zhang Yi, it's all handsome men and beautiful women."

"That's too much! How can you bully Zhang Yi like this? Zhang Yi looks very ordinary, but his acting skills are very good! As an actor, isn't acting the most important thing?"

"The person above, I know you are Zhang Yi, don't leave a message using your smurf account, speak directly on your main account."

The stupid netizens caught the interesting point and dozens or even hundreds of levels of discussion immediately appeared in the comment section.

Zhang Yi himself was very angry after discovering the stupid discussions among netizens.

What's wrong with not looking good? I didn't eat your rice even though I didn't look good.

He secretly vowed to play the role of Minglou well.

He wants to use practical actions to tell those superficial netizens that acting skills are the most important and his Ming Lou is the most outstanding character.

Only Li Yu didn't know that netizens' teasing of Zhang Yi could stimulate Zhang Yi's potential.

If he knew this, he would definitely hire 18,000 Internet trolls to tease Zhang Yi. Anyone who joins his crew, whether male or female, must roll up, the more the better.

On the first day of filming, Zhang Yi, who had been holding his breath, immediately showed his ultimate moves, and his performance in one scene shocked the entire audience.

"Teacher Zhang, your performance just now was so powerful that it didn't even seem like acting."

"Others don't act like it, but you don't act like it."

Zhang Yi received praise from the crew members.

This is exactly the effect Zhang Yi wanted.

He loses in terms of appearance, but in terms of acting skills, he is not afraid of any actor in the crew.

After seeing Zhang Yi's powerful acting skills, Huang Xiaoming felt more pressure.

He recalled the days when he was filming "Operation Nujiang" in Siam. His passive ability had been stacked to 999+, but he still couldn't beat Zhang Yi.

Would he be forced to repeat the same mistake again and be completely crushed by Zhang Yi?

Li Yu told him when he asked for the role.

This time, the three of them have the same ranking, all are the leading male roles.

But if someone performs particularly well, Li Yu will consider giving that person more scenes.

In other words, the one who performs well will become the leading male role, and the other two will become supporting roles.

Huang Xiaoming is the best developed among them. He doesn't want to be reduced to a supporting role, so he tries his best.

Even if he couldn't defeat Zhang Yi, he would fight Zhang Yi to a draw at all costs.

As Huang Xiaoming fought hard, the pressure was put on Hu Ge.

Hugo found that he was the more passive one.

Zhang Yi’s acting skills are good, so he can understand it.

With ordinary looks, what else can you rely on besides your strength?

But what about Huang Xiaoming? He occasionally watched TV series and could see a domineering CEO drama starring Huang Xiaoming on TV.

Huang Xiaoming's performance in those domineering CEO dramas is so greasy, and he really never misses any opportunity to show off.

Watching Huang Xiaoming’s domineering boss drama, you don’t need to add a drop of oil when cooking.

What’s weird is that Huang Xiaoming’s acting is always on point every time he acts with him, as if he’s been possessed by some talented actor.

Hu Ge was helpless. Faced with the pincer attack from Zhang Yi and Huang Xiaoming, he could only redouble his efforts.

Fortunately, he calmed down and performed in dramas for a few years, and his acting skills improved greatly. Otherwise, he would have been beaten by Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yi just like in "Langya Bang" back then.

Director Li Yu felt very gratified to see that the three of them had gotten into the groove and their acting was getting better day by day.

In fact, what he said on the phone that day was to scare Huang Xiaoming.

He never changes the script midway through filming, so how could he change the script midway to add a certain character's scenes? This is what directors and screenwriters in Hong Kong like to do.

During the filming of "The Disguiser", Li Yu's other TV work "The Khan" was about to premiere.

Fans of the China Copyright Tour series were delighted to learn that "Tian Khan" was coming soon.

"It's been a year. A whole year. Do you know how I spent this year? Hurry up, start broadcasting."

“It’s so exciting to watch the series. If possible, I suggest Director Li to film the entire 5,000-year history of China.

Tang Guoqiang can play the emperors of the past five thousand years, so I think it is no problem for you to film the story of the past five thousand years again. "

"Good fellow, you probably don't know how long 5,000 years of history is. Do you want to tire Director Li to death?"
