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

Chapter 20, Song Qingshu

The cast and crew of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" were mostly from Taiwan, and not many people were recruited from Hengcheng.

Even if it's not much.

The place was still packed with people, who were scrambling to get a chance.

In this era.

The influence of Taiwan and Hong Kong has not diminished.

The golden age of Chinese entertainment has not yet begun.

They ride the wave of popularity from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also receive salaries higher than the industry average.

Yes.

At this moment, Li Yun arrived at the audition site. Because he had a letter of recommendation, he entered the audition room with ease, unlike the other candidates.

It's a bit like 'going through the back door'.

"Oh, so you're the one Director Xu recommended."

Liu Mingxia looked at the young man in front of him and nodded slightly.

According to the crew of "The Storm Riders", he is a very good young man.

He's not very old and still looks a bit green.

Ok.

He's quite robust.

Not surprising at all.

After all, I heard he's pretty good with a knife.

The information Liu Mingxia received.

Both his acting skills and appearance have been recognized, especially his portrayal of a reclusive yet sharp and world-weary swordsman, which he captured the essence of the character perfectly.

This struck Liu Mingxia as somewhat unbelievable.

Such a young man.

The performance perfectly captured the sense of vicissitude and restraint of a swordsman who had retired from the martial world.

This is quite intriguing.

So young...

How do you portray a sense of vicissitude?

"I can give you the role of Yin Liting."

Li Yun hadn't expected this.

Yin Liting.....

The biggest winner and the biggest victim of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

The character is not complicated.

The concept is quite classic.

You stole my wife.

I will marry your daughter.

The key elements are abstraction and stimulation.

It's something you just have to try.

That's awesome.

at this time.

Li Yun also realized something.

Character stereotyping —

Since I can play this kind of aggrieved hero.

Then keep introducing such aggrieved heroes to yourself.

If nothing unexpected happens.

If I could get the role of Yin Liting...

Let's continue the performance.

I guess I'll become a professional victim-type hero in the future.

The first thing people notice about you is yourself.

It makes one think of the victim and the chivalrous hero.

The character has been defined.

It cannot be said that it had an irreparable negative impact on an actor's career.

It can only be said that if the role is destined to be a supporting one, then the future is almost certainly doomed.

If it's a protagonist-type character, then there's still hope.

Perhaps if you're typecast in a role, you won't have to worry about going hungry in the future.

But they certainly won't be very full.

Such a road.

Maybe it's better not to leave!

At least for Li Yun.

So it is.

And so.

Li Yun decisively rejected the role of Yin Liting.

"I don't want to play this role," Li Yun said with a determined look in his eyes. "I want to play something else."

Liu Mingxia asked in confusion.

"I'm certain you can play this role. If you refuse, I'll reschedule it for someone else."

These kinds of roles with screen time and storylines aren't easy to come by. To play other roles... you need to have the ability.

Li Yun's acting resume is particularly lacking.

The only character with a name is Nie Renwang, and that's from a work that hasn't been aired yet; I've only heard that he's good at playing that kind of role.

Still pale.

It's just because of the director's recommendation that I can land a ready-made, typecast role.

But if he doesn't act... it doesn't matter.

This kind of role.

Who can't act?

"Hmm..." Li Yun nodded and said, "I can try other roles."

"There aren't many other roles for you to choose from here..."

Liu Mingxia glanced at the cast list and figured that now only roles like the Xuanming Elders were left unplayed.

What Li Yun was thinking was...

It can generate gold coins from these personalities.

We also need to make sure the audience remembers us.

It can produce a good performance effect.

In short, it can't be Yin Liting!

Li Yun didn't particularly like this role either.

Nie Renwang is just not good enough; he's bad at the game but has a beautiful wife.

This Yin Liting is truly an unparalleled old scoundrel; his wife's body and soul have been stolen, yet he still clings to this sob story.

Even after he rescued the girl and became the biggest winner in the story, Li Yun still didn't like it.

It was entirely due to the author's mechanical, deus ex machina-like charity and perverse sense of humor that Yin Liting became the winner.

The character itself doesn't have much appeal.

The other character, who's a bit of a clown, is much more charming...

Li Yun saw Song Qingshu's name on the cast list.

"Can I try out for this role?"

From the very beginning.

Li Yun came specifically for this role.

Song Qingshu.

To be close to one's own level of fame.

They can also bring out the inherent tension of the character.

That's Song Qingshu.

.....

"Song Qingshu..."

Liu Mingxia glanced at the cast list; the role of Song Qingshu was played by a handsome actor from mainland China.

He's a handsome guy with a decent appearance, and his temperament matches the character.

However, in terms of appearance...

The man before me is Li Yun.

Not bad at all, especially considering his physique...

At this moment, Liu Mingxia suddenly remembered something and said, "I heard you know a couple of martial arts moves?"

"Yes, I know a little bit."

Li Yun's answer was also quite modest.

I know a little bit.

Liu Mingxia thought for a moment and then said.

"You know kung fu."

For martial arts TV dramas.

He knows kung fu.

That is a huge advantage.

But how much exactly?

How could that be?

Whether it can form an advantage.

These are all open to discussion.

Liu Mingxia wanted to see Li Yun show off his kung fu skills.

This is certainly not something that needs to be refused.

At this moment, Li Yun picked up the prop sword next to him.

I know how to use a knife.

Then let's use sword techniques instead of knife techniques.

"That's not how you use a sword. Thrusting and parrying are the essence of swordsmanship. You'll only make yourself a laughingstock in the martial world if you do it like that." The young nobleman from the martial world beside him said calmly, his eyes narrowed. "Don't ever say you know how to use a sword again."

"This guy's way of talking is really annoying," Li Yun said impatiently.

"Shut up, you're so annoying..."

"Who were you talking to just now?"

"It's nothing..."

Li Yun continued practicing his swordplay.

He wielded the long sword in his hand, looking quite serious.

Liu Mingxia couldn't understand kung fu.

However, it is also known that Li Yun's display of skill was quite impressive.

Director Xu was not lying.

This young actor is really quite good.

However, the character Song Qingshu...

Although she is also a second-tier supporting character, she has significantly more screen time than Yin Liting.
