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

"A minor role?"

Ma Rongcheng was stunned.

Even director Xu Zhenliang was somewhat taken aback. He was still wondering if there were any outstanding new generation, academic, or formally trained talents emerging recently...

This young actor did a really good job, capturing the demeanor of a master.

In the end, it turned out that he was not from any faction; he was just a background actor in Hengcheng with a special contract... For a director like Xu Zhenliang, there was really no difference between him and a background actor.

It was just a recommendation from an acquaintance that got me a role that only lasted one episode, a role that wouldn't really matter who played it.

That's how it should be.

But at this moment.

After this scene ends.

Even the powerful Chiba Shin praised Li Yun highly.

"This actor is very good, he acted very well. I really felt like I was facing a reclusive master of martial arts who had retreated to the mountains, a martial arts person who was unaware of the ways of the world."

He praised Li Yun in broken Chinese.

And indeed, I wholeheartedly praise Li Yun's acting skills and demeanor just now.

This made it easier for Chiba Makoto to get into character, and to portray the role more deeply...

As an actor.

Who wouldn't want their co-star to be a good one?

Having a good co-star can better showcase one's acting skills. If you act with a bad co-star, it will not only affect your sense of immersion, but the final result will also be unsatisfactory.

In a sense.

When two equally matched actors deliver a powerful performance, the character's performance becomes even more outstanding.

This is absolutely beyond doubt.

"Your extras in Hengcheng are really amazing..." Ma Rongcheng thought to herself. The vast land of the mainland is truly full of hidden talents. Even a small extra can produce such an effect.

Even Wang Rui wasn't entirely convinced. His initial thought was that this guy had good kung fu, so maybe he could get more action scenes, saving some special effects budget for Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, allowing them to have bigger special effects...

It was just this simple little thought.

I didn't have high expectations for this former extra to deliver much acting performance.

Expecting extras to improve their acting skills before they're promoted to full-fledged actors is already a bit strange...

But to everyone's surprise, this person actually gave him an unexpected performance, even drawing Chiba Makoto into the scene.

That's impressive, absolutely impressive.

Originally, after filming this scene was completed...

Director Xu Zhenliang and Wang Rui both wanted to ask Li Yun, as directors never hesitate to praise actors who perform well.

At the same time, this unexpected acting performance...

The director will also take this into consideration in the upcoming storyboards.

However, when Xu Zhenliang and Wang Rui came to Li Yun.

But they found Li Yun muttering to himself, as if he were talking to himself, completely oblivious to everyone else.

Worthy!

At that moment, Xu Zhenliang and Wang Rui both had the same thought.

He is an immersive actor.

An actor who becomes so immersed in the role, so deeply immersed in the script, that it's hard to step out of the character...

"I never expected to encounter such an immersive actor here," Xu Zhenliang murmured.

And the immersion is... pretty impressive! He didn't react at all when I tried to get close.

He was deeply immersed in the role.

It is difficult to escape.

The brilliance of immersive actors lies in their exceptionally high ceiling. After all, they believe the character is themselves, so what could be higher than playing oneself?

Unfortunately, most immersive actors only have one or two classic roles. Apart from roles where they can be completely immersed, their other roles are generally mediocre, both domestically and internationally.

Therefore, most people in the entertainment industry today are skilled actors. Skilled actors can also reach the pinnacle of acting, and they don't have as many messy and troublesome issues.

Moreover, immersion therapy is quite dependent on talent; those with good talent are exceptionally talented, but those with excessive talent may experience health problems.

He will go mad.

You won't be able to get out of it.

You can't play like this if you're too inexperienced.

Having too much talent means you're just wasting your own time.

That's what immersive acting is all about...

In the entertainment industry, he's a bit of a romantic and eccentric figure.

But no matter what.

At this moment, Wang Rui and Xu Zhenliang didn't care what Li Yun would become in the future; at this moment, he was Nie Renwang.

Nie Renwang, the Madman of the Northern Drinking Blade.

..

Filming scene by scene allowed the "reclusive swordsman" to adapt to the role within his own body.

That feeling was very strange.

Li Yun felt that when he allowed the character to possess him, his body and mind would remember the character's feelings, as if he had been through countless battles, and that the character was him and he was the character.

When he leaves, that feeling, that experience, will linger in his body; perhaps that's the principle behind enhanced acting skills.

While acting, Li Yun occasionally wondered if he was actually a legendary swordsman named Nie Renwang from the Northern Blade Sect who had traveled through time, and if he had a son named Nie Feng. He thought, "I am the very embodiment of the Northern Drinking Mad Blade..."

The physical memories were so vivid, along with his past experiences; everything was unfolding before my eyes.

The feeling of having personally experienced it and having a clear memory of the past made Li Yun believe that he was Nie Renwang, the one who was tired of the struggles in the martial arts world and retreated behind the scenes.

This allowed Li Yun to empathize deeply with the characters during filming. Whether it was joy and tranquility or anger and drawing a sword, it was all instinctive, as if his body was telling him what to do and what he should do. He became one with the character, experiencing and feeling the role perfectly.

How can you not feel at peace when you empathize with the character and share their joys and sorrows?

Li Yun looked at the prop knife in his hand.

wrong.

It is the Snow Drinking Knife.

It is the most arrogant and domineering Snow Drinking Blade in the world today.

I, Nie Renwang, will use this Snow Drinking Blade to reclaim my wife—no, to reclaim my dignity. Even if I retire from the martial world and live a simple life farming in a mountain village, I will still be Nie Renwang, the Mad Blade of the Northern Drinking Blade.

I... am right here.

At this moment, Li Yun mustered his courage and, holding the knife in both hands, roared.

"Xiong Ba!"

Nie Renwang brandished the Snow Drinking Blade.

Sweeping through thousands of troops, I am the Mad Blade.

The blade slashed, the blade broke.

Even the mighty Xiong Ba, who dominated the world, was infected by this roar and the swinging of his sword.

Before me stands Nie Renwang, and I am Xiong Ba.

I am Xiong Ba, the one who dominates the world.

Today, I have come for the Snow Drinking Blade, and I have come to meet this Northern Blade Master Nie Renwang.

Even Tian Xiaoli, standing nearby, could sense that what lay before her was like two chivalrous heroes of the martial world, using their swords to illustrate a profound truth...

They are all strong people.

...

The two actors were so immersed in their roles that filming went incredibly smoothly.

For Xu Zhenliang...

The storyboard of the scene before us.

They were originally supposed to be filmed separately...

To highlight the domineering nature of the Overlord...

But at this moment.

Xu Zhenliang is about to slightly change his previous decision...

"Next scene, a shot of Nie Renwang and Xiong Ba together... When editing the previous footage, please pay attention to using camera angles that show them in the same frame as much as possible..."
