Entertainment News: This Best Actor's acting range is so narrow it's enviable.

After a brief exchange, the situation reached a stalemate.

Li Lianjie threw a few knife-shaped coins into the old man's bowl while he was playing the zither.

"Old sir, please play one more tune."

The music resumed, and Jiang Feng and Li Lianjie stood face to face, their duel unfolding in their minds.

In the movie, it's all about imagination, but in reality, the two of them actually fought, and it was even more intense than before.

Jiang Feng used all his skills, maxing out all the remaining attribute points of the Six Harmony Spear, and also adding 100 points to stamina, 100 points to agility, and 100 points to speed, giving him a feeling of going all in.

He admitted that there was an element of gambling in doing this.

But having reached this point, with the die already cast, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

If this scene can't be filmed in one take, then... then he'll have to find a way to get some more attribute points.

Zhang Jin's martial arts choreography is beautiful, elegant and freehand, and when combined with the simple and refined sound of the zither and the pitter-patter of rain, it creates a desolate and tragic atmosphere.

Jiang Feng is in even better shape than he was during yesterday's rehearsal.

At that moment, he seemed to have truly become Chang Kong, an assassin from the Warring States period.

Li Lianjie even sensed the murderous aura emanating from him, which made him shudder. Only a killer who had actually killed people could exude such an aura.

"This kid...could he really have killed someone?"

A ridiculous idea popped into Li Lianjie's mind.

Having debuted for many years, he has collaborated with numerous action stars, including Yu Chenghui, Donnie Yen, Zhao Wenzhuo, Zou Zhaolong, Qian Xiaohao, Yu Rongguang, Zhou Bili, and Ji Chunhua…

These people are all top-notch, and some of them are even famous for playing villains.

Even they had never exerted such a strong sense of pressure on Li Lianjie.

Is this guy really just a newbie?

His aura is so powerful it's frightening; even veteran actors can't match him.

Cold sweat beaded on Li Lianjie's forehead, but he dared not pause his movements for the slightest.

At this moment, both of them were extremely tense and had reached a critical point.

After a fierce exchange, the two stopped fighting and returned to their original positions.

Suddenly, with a snap, the string broke.

Jiang Feng and Li Lianjie opened their eyes at the same time, and with all their might, launched a final, fatal attack on each other.

A sharp sword against a silver spear.

Chang Kong was ultimately no match for Wuming.

Jiang Feng was struck by Li Lianjie's sword. His pupils gradually dilated, reflecting the other man's image. He flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

quiet!

The scene was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Zhang Yimou stared blankly at the monitor screen.

If the director doesn't yell "cut," the crew members don't dare to say a word.

Jiang Feng lay motionless on the damp ground, like a dead body.

Zhang Weiping patted Zhang Yimou on the shoulder and coughed.

Zhang Yimou then came to his senses and quickly called out.

"Pass!"

The moment the word was uttered, the aura emanating from Jiang Feng and Li Lianjie instantly dissipated, transforming them from highly skilled top assassins back into ordinary people.

Everyone could clearly feel that the air pressure had returned to normal, and their breathing became easier.

"Good, very good."

Zhang Yimou stood up and clapped excitedly, and everyone else followed suit.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Li Lianjie helped Jiang Feng up from the ground.

"Are you alright?"

"Brother Jie, I'm fine." Jiang Feng patted the dirt off his clothes.

"You're fine, but I'm not. I've never filmed such a tiring scene in all my years in the industry. Look at all this sweat."

As he spoke, Li Lianjie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Jiang Feng wasn't in much better shape; his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

The two of them were under a lot of tension just now, and now that they've relaxed, they feel weak all over and can barely stand.

"Quickly, help them to rest."

Zhang Yimou quickly had his staff help Jiang Feng and Li Lianjie sit down in chairs.

"Lianjie, Jiang Feng, your performance just now was absolutely brilliant! In all my years as a director, I've never directed such a satisfying scene. It was exhilarating, truly exhilarating!"

Zhang Yimou was as excited as a child.

"Director Zhang, you really had a blast, you almost exhausted me."

Li Lianjie smiled wryly, "I will never cooperate with Jiang Feng again, no matter what. The pressure is too great."

"Haha, I noticed that too. Your aura was almost overshadowed by this kid."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said to Jiang Feng, "Jiang Feng, next time you have a scene with the male lead, be careful to tone it down. People who don't know better might think you're the male lead."

Jiang Feng asked nervously:

"Senior, we shouldn't need to reshoot, right?"

He was really afraid that Zhang Yimou would say, "Protect one of them."

"No need, no need, your performance was already perfect, far exceeding my expectations."

Zhang Yimou showed the playback to Jiang Feng and Li Lianjie.

"Is this really me?"

Even Jiang Feng and Li Lianjie themselves were stunned by their performance, not expecting that they had acted so well.

They had completely identified themselves as Changkong and Wuming, forgetting that they were performing.

"Alas, what a pity. Such a good scene will mostly be cut, and the audience will not be able to see your superb acting skills. Jiang Feng, I'm so sorry."

Zhang Yimou felt very sorry.

Most of Jet Li's scenes will be retained, but all of Jiang Feng's scenes will be cut.

His subtle and nuanced eye acting and perfectly timed micro-expressions brought Chang Kong to life.

It's heartbreaking for Zhang Yimou that such a great performance is going to be overlooked.

He wouldn't waste a single frame.

It would have been better if Jiang Feng had played Chang Kong from the beginning.

Jiang Feng, however, was quite carefree:

"There's nothing to regret. I was just a stand-in. A stand-in should be prepared for what it means to be a stand-in."

He said to Zhang Yimou, half-jokingly:

"Senior, if you really feel bad for me, could you consider me for your next movie?"

"Haha, no problem, I would have contacted you even if you hadn't told me."

As Zhang Yimou spoke, he took out his phone and said, "Do you have a phone? Let's exchange numbers."

"have."

Jiang Feng quickly took out his Nokia and exchanged phone numbers with Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou saved him as "Jiang Feng's junior" in his contact, while Jiang Feng saved him as "emo's senior".

"Senior, could you please cut out that part of my performance and send it to me? I might be able to use it when I audition for other productions."

Jiang Feng couldn't bear to waste that performance; he'd rather use it as a stepping stone to other film crews.

"No problem, I'll have the editor cut it out for you in the next few days. When you audition for other film crews in the future, just mention my name and say that you are the actor I'm going to cast in my next movie."

Zhang Yimou took good care of Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng laughed, "People will just think I'm bragging. I can't exactly ask them to call and confirm, can I?"

Zhang Yimou said earnestly, "That's not impossible either. Consider it my compensation to you."

"Then thank you very much, senior brother."

Jiang Feng was very happy. With Zhang Yimou's endorsement, he would never have to worry about not having any roles to play in the future.

The next day, Jiang Feng went to the finance department to collect 10,000 yuan, said goodbye to Zhang Jin, Zhang Yimou, Li Lianjie and others, and left the "Hero" film crew.

Zhang Yimou specially arranged for the crew's driver to take him back.

Zhang Jin saw him off to his carriage, and as they parted, he said earnestly:

"Brother, when you become successful, don't forget your friend from the bottom of the earth."

Jiang Feng gave him a hug.

"I'll go through fire and water for you, Brother Jin. I will never forget you, considering how you let me sleep in your bed while you slept on the floor."
