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

Chapter 1, A Minor Aftereffect of Time Travel

In 2002, the filming of "Xiao Shiyi Lang" was nearing its end, and the crew was basically just finishing up extra scenes.

"This one, that one... the handsome one, yes, you, yeah, the one who looks like Zunlong... go help 'Two-Headed Snake' out, um, here are your clothes."

"Thank you, brother!"

Li Yun accepted the clothes given to her by the stagehand.

Next, I will play the bandit of Luanshi Mountain in "Xiao Shiyi Lang", and I will not be able to share a shot with He Jie.

It was just a small, minor role.

This role was something I longed for but couldn't obtain in my past life, and in this life, thanks to a fellow villager who was also a group leader, I barely managed to get it...

A minor, insignificant role...

In his past life, he was also a struggling actor in Hengdian World Studios. He dated a girlfriend who was also a struggling actor in the industry, but later inexplicably rose to the point where she could play roles with close-up shots. Then, on the 365th night after he gave himself away, he was in the emergency room... when he was transmigrated due to an infectious disease.

Li Yun felt frustrated.

Before I could even enjoy the glamorous world within this circle, I was already punished by its bountiful fruits.

He transmigrated to a parallel world, into the body of Li Yun, who was also a struggling actor in Hengdian World Studios and had the exact same name as him.

Why is it called a parallel world?

Because the lead actor in Xiao Shiyi Lang is named Wu Qilong, and the female lead is named Zhu Ying.

Instead of Nicky Wu and Athena Chu.....

In seemingly parallel worlds, history unfolds in the same way.

In this world.

I'm a handsome guy from Guangdong, but I'm broke. I'm in Hengdian, and I've drifted away and lost contact with people.

Although things started off well, at least he's been given a second chance. This time, Li Yun will learn from his mistakes and remember to exchange medical reports next time he dates a girl in the entertainment industry...

but....

just now.

This is not the time to think about these things.

My own career is more important.

Otherwise, we would really go hungry.

The salary for this bandit role.

It's 30 yuan.

The price is still after the group leader takes their cut.

This price.

This fellow villager is capable.

The pump only costs three yuan, focusing on low profit and high volume.

When Li Yun picked up the prop knife.

A voice rang in my mind

"Kill! Loot!"

"Yes, kill the woman in front of you, tear off her clothes, and kill her!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! You traitor!"

"My signature Wind-Blowing Clouds and Rain-Rain Blade technique is making a comeback! Hehehe."

"Shut up!"

Li Yun suddenly shouted, attracting the attention of many people. Even the director, Li Yanwen, asked in confusion, "What's wrong with this guy?"

"What's wrong with you?" the stagehand asked Li Yun, puzzled. "Can you still act?"

He didn't want to cause any trouble.

Li Yun shook his head violently.

"N-nothing, there was just a bug that was making noise."

"Oh... don't try anything funny." The stagehand warned, "I've seen plenty of people like you... trying to get the director's attention this way, let me tell you, it's no use."

Li Yun nodded.

He nodded helplessly.

There's nothing I can do about it.

after all.

Traveling to a parallel world.

It wasn't without its costs.

My head was buzzing.

The voice of this "robber" personality is clamoring to chop and kill people.

A minor side effect of time travel.

It seems like a lot of strange voices have appeared in his head, occasionally tormenting him. Even without going to a mental hospital, Li Yun knows that his current mental state is definitely not healthy... And even if he did go to a mental hospital, he couldn't afford it!

Although the current daily wage of thirty seems pretty good.

But this daily wage of thirty isn't something you get every month, or every day.

Even when he was busy with many projects, his monthly salary hovered around 500 yuan.

Originally, Li Yun felt that as a small price to pay for his rebirth, it was not unacceptable, but it happened at this critical juncture.

Damn it!

If it's discovered that the character has schizophrenia, the role is off.

"Why do you want me to shut up? Wait a minute, let me do it. I love raping and kidnapping, it's so satisfying!" the voice next to him said again, seemingly still bothering Li Yun, eager to try.

At this moment, a burly man with pustules on his face even "appeared" right in front of him, looking utterly repulsive.

Oops.

My mental illness has worsened. Before, these personalities would never materialize in front of me; they would just buzz in my head.

But it cannot be done.

You can't let the director see your minor mental health issues.

Otherwise, there really won't be any food for the next meal.

Li Yun, the predecessor, was a drifter in Hengdian, with no education and no skills.

If it were the era of young heartthrobs in the future, with my handsome looks, becoming a star would be a piece of cake.

But it is now 2002.

This is not the era of young, handsome men driven by capital in later generations.

It was an era when coal bosses had the final say.

"Big brother, you rest first. After I finish acting, you can do whatever you want. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to stay calm."

"How strange. We're just bandits, why can't I do it?" The bandit looked at Li Yun impatiently and said, "Hurry up, let me do it, and I promise I won't bother you again."

At this moment, the director and script supervisor had already called Li Yun over, ready to start filming.

Li Yun took a deep breath and changed his clothes.

He was holding a prop knife that was not sharpened, but still had some weight to it.

Li Yun felt that he did have some acting skills.

In my previous life, I was a professional actor specializing in playing Japanese colonels, and over the years I had achieved some success.

As for now.

This role doesn't require much acting skill.

The thugs next to him kept shouting.

Li Yun calmed himself down, observing the thug's expression and tone of voice. Goodness, he really had a knack for it...

I acted out his style.

It doesn't seem bad at all.

"Want to see grandpa's cock?" the slovenly bandit swore at Li Yun.

"You look so handsome."

"What you say is true."

Just as Li Yunduan was admiring the handsome face of the young bandit in front of him.

A voice suddenly rang in my mind.

[Ding! You may choose to unleash your acting skills and be possessed by a bandit.]

What the hell!

At first, Li Yun thought that another inexplicable personality had appeared in his mind.

Until the sound appeared on the panel in front of me.

There really are 108 personalities listed above...

Good guy.

Wow, that's really something.

Looking at the seemingly serious system panel.

Own....

Has the cheat software arrived?

Soon the system's voice rang in his mind again.

He knew that his transmigration to a parallel world had brought on side effects, but it didn't matter. The system would take care of curing these minor aftereffects. As long as he kept acting, these personalities could experience what it felt like to be alive. Of course, Li Yun wouldn't lose control of his body.

[Character: Bandit]

[Reward for sending away the green-faced bandit: Martial Arts +10]

[(Bandit) Acting Skills +10]

There's a reward for seeing him off.

Li Yun was moved to tears.

Come on, you bandits.

When Li Yun was possessed by the bandit leader.

I immediately had a wonderful feeling.

It was as if he had figured out how to play a bandit well, in every gesture and movement.

I am not Li Yun.

I am Li Yun.

They were bandits too!

.....

Li Yun was a temporary actor, not even a bit player—he was an extra.

My voice just now didn't cause much of a stir.

Li Yanwen was also somewhat absent-minded, after all, it was the last few scenes to be filmed for extras, and he didn't actually come every day.

I had little interest in filming this excessive scene...

However, as the director, I still need to be here to supervise the filming; I can't be negligent.

The final scene, well, it was all just a play...

The shouting of the extras had even annoyed him a little.

"Be more careful when you hire someone next time..." Li Yanwen said to the stagehand next to him, "Don't hire any random people."

"Okay, I understand."

The stagehand immediately understood.

Actors with these two legs are hard to find.

Are extras with two legs hard to find?

In Hengcheng, everywhere you look there are aspiring actors waiting to film scenes...

The group leader can find you all sorts of girls, from slender to plump, all kinds of different and similar, you name it.

But since filming has already started, let's just use it for now, since we won't see it tomorrow anyway.

at this time.

The stage manager claps the clapperboard.

Start.

The next scene features Jie Buping, a bandit leader from Luanshi Mountain, and his henchmen who have taken over the mountain and committed various evil deeds.

It's not exactly a happy thing in itself.

"Ha, you little vixen, so pretty, I feel sorry for you." Jie Buping also appeared on camera a few times.

These few scenes alone are enough for many extras in Hengdian World Studios to chase after for a lifetime. Back then, Li Yun's girlfriend, an 18th-tier actress, contracted a disease while looking for such a role, and then took Li Yun with her.

It has action, close-ups, and dialogue...

He's a guest actor!

They are certified to work!

"Hmph!" Feng Si Niang looked at the bandits led by Jie Buping with disdain. "Do you know who I am? How dare you flirt with me?"

"Oh, I don't care who you are..."

"Men, take her down." Jie Buping's lewd expression was utterly convincing.

Next, Li Yun and his gang of bandits gathered around Feng Si Niang with smiles on their faces.

The extras here are all free to improvise; they just need to look a little like bandits. Everyone is crammed into one shot, and in the next shot, they're all instantly killed by the enchantress Feng Si Niang.

"Little vixen~"

At this moment, Li Yun smiled and approached Feng Si Niang.

Despite his flippant words, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he twirled his large knife.

A subtle expression and gaze darted over Feng Si Niang, like a venomous snake...

That's the kind of expression a desperate criminal should have.

What a load of rubbish.

We're all people who live on the edge.

As Ma Xiaoya, who plays Feng Si Niang, watched Li Yun approach, she couldn't help but take a step back.

No, I'm a demoness, what am I afraid of, some petty bandit!

at this time.

Director Li Yanwen was stunned by what he saw, and he was also stunned by what he saw on camera.

"Click!"
