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

The pre-production process for the TV series "Wind and Cloud" was very simple.

Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, and Duan Lang are still reading their scripts together.

Li Yun also truly received his own script...

Nie Renwang....

A simple one-page sheet of paper.

The plot is basically a prologue, and it's quite simple.

Centuries ago, there existed a pair of divine weapons in the martial arts world: the Fire Kirin Sword and the Snow Drinking Saber. These divine weapons, inherited from the Nie family ancestors, were later passed down to Nie Renwang. Combined with his family's secret technique, the "Six Secrets of Unyielding Cold," he forged the name "Northern Drinking Saber Madman" in the martial arts world...

Then, Nie Renwang grew tired of the struggles in the martial arts world and retired from it. His Snow Drinking Saber was turned into a wood-chopping knife, and he and his wife lived a simple life.

However, Yan Ying herself admires the strong, and she married you, Nie Renwang, because you are a famous swordsman who roams the martial arts world.

Li Yun had watched the TV series version of "The Storm Riders" and concluded that Nie Renwang's decision to retire from the martial arts world was very wise; his greatest characteristic was that his fame far exceeded his strength...

He's just very simple-minded.

dish.

He was knocked into the Fire Kirin Cave by Xiong Ba's Three-Part Return to Origin Qi, and the Fire Kirin took advantage of the situation.

of course.

Li Yun was reading the script.

The "swordsman" in his mind started shouting... He was unconvinced.

"I had always wanted to live in seclusion, why did you force me out of my life? To kill me and humiliate me..."

Holy crap.

The immersion in the swordsman role is just too strong, isn't it?

but.

Li Yun continued.

"In the world of martial arts, being bad at it is the original sin... If your kung fu is bad, that is the original sin."

"But I already have a heart set on returning home... The world of martial arts is a distant memory for me; I only wish to take my wife and children and leave."

"Calm down, calm down. Even Xiong Ba wanted to retire from the martial world in the end, but he still didn't have a good ending..."

Li Yun looked at the script.

While talking to the swordsman next to him, damn it, he even had to offer him advice—truly behaving like the pathetic King Nie Renwang...

No one is more suitable to be Nie Renwang than you.

However, in the eyes of outsiders...

He was just talking to himself.

...

"The young man is quite handsome, but I don't know if he'll be a good fit."

Tian Xiaoli watched Li Yun, who was reading a script, from a short distance away.

young.

She's alright looking.

"Sister Tian..." Wang Rui looked at Tian Xiaoli with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. This Yan Ying, Nie Feng's mother and Nie Renwang's wife, was quite... forthright in real life: "It should be fine, right?"

"How can a man say no, right?"

"Hahaha...."

The role of Nie Renwang was originally intended to be played by an actor from Taiwan.

However, Li Yun has one major advantage over the original actor who played Nie Renwang.

He really knows how to use a knife.

He possesses knife skills certified by Zhao Wenzhuo, at the level of a third-level athlete.

This can still be guaranteed.

of course.

Regarding acting skills.

On the contrary, the requirements are not that high... or rather...

They've all started using small, special-offer contracts.

The acting is so-so, just passable.

The main selling point is its amazing cost-effectiveness; if you were to hire supporting actors from Taiwan, it would cost at least 20,000 NTD.

The small contract costs only five thousand, four thousand after taxes, and the employee also knows knife skills.

The main focus remains on the main characters, such as Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, and Xiong Ba...

On the other side, veteran actor Chiba Makoto from the island nation watched Li Yun reading alone, talking to himself, and even seemed a little nervous. He then spoke to Zhao Wenzhuo and the others.

"Excuse me for a moment, I need to go take a look over there."

"OK."

Zhao Wenzhuo and the others ignored them and continued their own reading, understanding, and analysis of the characters.

Chiba Shin arrived at Li Yun's place.

At this moment, Chiba Makoto came to Li Yun and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Just follow the script. We'll improvise the rest."

Chiba Makoto tried to comfort Li Yun in broken Chinese.

The way Li Yun was talking to himself at this moment looked exactly like someone who was extremely nervous.

But only Li Yun himself knew that he wasn't just overly nervous; if he had to say, he was actually a little excited...

I felt absolutely no nervousness or stage fright...

"Thank you for your concern, senior. I feel great."

"That's good." Chiba Makoto smiled and mentioned it briefly. Seeing Li Yun trying hard to understand the script, this veteran actor couldn't help but feel relieved.

At this moment, Wang Rui spoke next to the director.

"You wouldn't guess that Chiba-senpai looks fierce; he's actually quite kind in person."

Director Xu Zhenliang nodded at this moment, but he was more concerned about Chiba Makoto and didn't really care about minor roles like Nie Renwang.

This veteran actor from the island nation plays the number one villain.

As a reader of the original comic, Xu Zhenliang has something to say.

This Lord Conqueror was probably modeled after Chiba Makoto...

More attention is being paid to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

Tian Xiaoli also joined Li Yun.

Nie Renwang acted opposite two other characters, Xiong Ba and Yan Ying...

Tian Xiaoli looked at the handsome young man in front of her who was talking to himself.

The young man is quite handsome.

He's quite handsome.

She looks quite young; Tian Xiaoli looks a full twelve years younger than me.

"You're playing my husband, so this old woman is taking advantage of you," Tian Xiaoli said with a squinty smile, also trying to ease the tension of rehearsing her lines.

Li Yun also smiled sheepishly.

"Sister Tian, ​​you're so beautiful, how can you say you're taking advantage of me? It's me taking advantage of you..."

"You have such a sweet tongue..."

Li Yun still possesses great strategic resolve.

The woman before me is an absolute beauty, sweet to the core.

But that's what I'm thinking right now.

It should be placed in the role.

On set now.

Filming.

I am an actor.

An actor who does their best to make a good film.

This has always been the standard Li Yun has set for himself, even when he was just an extra.

When rehearsing the lines, Tian Xiaoli and Qianye Zhen were not too surprised by Li Yun's delivery of lines.

This is my first time playing a character with a name...

The tension in my heart was self-evident...

At least that's how it is for Tian Xiaoli and Chiba Zhenkai.

After rehearsing their lines, Chiba Shin went to find Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun on the other side.

Leaving Tian Xiaoli there, she didn't hold back in praising Li Yun's appearance, even occasionally making flirtatious remarks...

Li Yun handled it with ease...

There's also a conversation with the "swordsman" next to him.

This swordsman really does resemble "Nie Renwang" in some ways.

Li Yun, however, spoke from the side.

"Brother Swordsman, we're counting on you when filming starts."

Swordsman: "..."

Li Yun would occasionally say to Nie Renwang, "In the martial world, being bad at things is a cardinal sin..."

...

soon.

It was time to power on.

The production team was divided into two groups for filming: one for supporting roles and one for main characters.

Li Yun was filming on the main characters' side...

Nie Renwang's co-star, Xiong Ba, is also a major character in "The Storm Riders," the number one villain.

The portrayal of villains is also related to the quality of a drama's script.

The scenes involving the conquest of Chiba are quite important.

In the only episode in which Nie Renwang appears, it is also the time when he was initially established as the dominant force in the martial arts world.

He does not seek defeat.

He sought victory.

Seek strength.

Xiong Ba, the Xiong Ba who dominated the world...

Nie Renwang was just a stepping stone.
