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

The filming process.

It went very smoothly...

Even if...

Even if Lai Qingshui thinks so.

Damn Li Yun.

The way he portrayed Song Qingshu was a bit strange...

But strangely...

It's actually kind of good!

This is what makes Lai Qingshui feel most conflicted.

strangeness.

But strangely, it's kind of good.

He is despicable.

He was jealous.

He was highly skilled in martial arts... but far inferior to Zhang Wuji.

From temperament to martial arts skills, no one can compare to Zhang Wuji.

This is simply a control group based on Zhang Wuji...

One.

It's not as good as Zhang Wuji's clown persona.

Li Yun.

And that's certainly what they portrayed; in terms of temperament and various other aspects, they're inferior...

Holding a sword, he couldn't even defeat the injured Zhang Wuji, and was completely overwhelmed by being beaten by punches and palms.

Later in the story, from her way of handling things to her temperament, she falls short of Zhang Wuji in every way...

This is Song Qingshu.

He was a clown created by Jin Yong from the very beginning, who was meant to be subordinate to Zhang Wuji.

But Shimizu always felt something was wrong.

Even when he was having dinner with assistant director Ye Qing in the evening.

They even mentioned this.

"How should I put it? I never thought that one day I would feel conflicted about a minor supporting role." Lai Qingshui held the small bottle of wine, his face still showing confusion and bewilderment.

Many of the characters have a lot of screen time and are very important.

But the character Song Qingshu clearly didn't have that many scenes.

That's what's causing Lai Qingshui's dilemma.

"You don't mean that Song Qingshu's acting was good, but he didn't seem that annoying, right?" Ye Qing laughed. "I feel that way too."

"right!"

Lai Qingshui slapped his thigh.

We now know where the problem lies.

This is Song Qingshu.

He's not that annoying!

As Song Qingshu.

How could anyone not dislike them?

Li Yun did just that.

Let Song Qingshu.

Even if it's despicable.

Even if it's a petty person's mentality.

Even if one's kung fu is inferior to others.

But it's just not annoying...

The acting was quite good.

This diminishes some of the effect of highlighting Zhang Wuji...

...

at this time.

Just as Lai Qingshui was thinking for a moment.

Suddenly a phone call came in.

This phone number is quite familiar.

"Hey? Big Beard Zhang, what brings you to call me today..."

Lai Qingshui and the other party were quite familiar with each other.

After all, we're all in the same circle...

Starting with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," Zhang Dahuzi is going to start remaking Jin Yong's works into TV series.

"Hey, aren't you going to welcome me?"

"How could that be, Brother Zhang? If you want to come, we'd love to give you a warm welcome, hahaha." Lai Qingshui thought to himself, this big-bearded guy has some pretty good resources. He remembered watching Zhang Da-beard's version of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* back then...

They represent the Beijing circle and the central circle.

Frankly speaking, Lai Ching-shui is very optimistic about the future market in mainland China...

Whether it's Taiwan or Hong Kong.

They're all too small....

The market will eventually be squeezed out; the gradual rise of the mainland market is inevitable...

This time, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" used many mainland actors and crew members, and even the publicity focus was intended to be on the mainland rather than Taiwan.

Lai Qingshui was also happy to cultivate good relationships with directors in the Beijing and central film and television circles.

Who knows, we might need some help from the central and Beijing circles in the future.

When discussing the future of the film and television industry, Ye Qing looked at Lai Qingshui with emotion.

"I do feel that way too. Taiwan is too small, and the market is only so big. In the future, we still need to develop in mainland China."

"There's nothing wrong with the development of the mainland. Aren't the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan all part of China...?"

"Of course."

...

The next day, before Zhang Dahuzi arrived, Lai Qingshui decided to go find Li Yun first...

I want to explain this matter clearly...

You acted very well.

But upon closer examination...

Your role is still to serve Zhang Wuji, existing as his foil.

Perhaps this is true for actors.

For the character.

It's a rather cruel thing.

But as a TV series.

There must also be a distinction between primary and secondary matters.

originally.

That's what Lai Qingshui was thinking.

Go find Li Yun.

"Li Yun?"

Li Yun ignored him.

He just stood there by himself not far away.

His eyes were fixed on Gao Yuanyuan, who was filming on set.

wrong.

It's Zhou Zhiruo.

His eyes...

Lai Qingshui called him again.

Li Yun still did not agree.

until.

Lai Qingshui remembered something.

He called out.

Song Qingshu.

Li Yuncai turned around.

At this moment, Li Yun had just finished filming a scene.

She hasn't removed her makeup yet.

Yet he still maintained the appearance of a refined gentleman amidst the turbid world.

tall and straight.

Handsome.

Between the eyebrows.

There's also a touch of melancholy.

It's impossible not to like Song Qingshu like that.

"Is there something you need?" Li Yun asked with a slight smile.

He handled it with ease.

Only when facing Zhang Wuji.

Only then will the defenses be breached... and it will take on a completely different form.

At other times.

He was a handsome and dashing young man.

at this time.

Lai Qingshui thought for a moment.

Shaking his head.

"It's nothing."

.......

Zhang the Bearded Man has arrived.

Zhang Da-Xu's signature feature is his thick, dark beard, which resembles a black forest.

This big beard gives him a rather bold and heroic look.

Lai Qingshui silently stared at the large beard...

Um....

It feels a bit dirty.

"Mr. Zhang, I've long admired your name."

Zhang Da Huzi now.

However, he is a rising star in the field of period dramas.

The way the budget was generously spent in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

It's truly impressive.

And his funds were not poured into the actors and crew; on the contrary, he was even somewhat demanding of them.

After all, all of his funds were used for filming locations.

The filming locations for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are quite... impressive.

Filming across the country suggests a substantial budget.

"I've heard so much about you."

Zhang Dahuzi and Lai Qingshui were also complimenting each other.

It's just mutual flattery in business.

That's normal.

After a series of compliments.

Zhang Da Huzi also explained his purpose for coming.

I just wanted to see how Lai Qingshui filmed "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Are there any lessons we can learn from this?

That's quite direct.

Lai Qingshui, on the contrary, felt that it was more comfortable to hear someone clearly explain their purpose.

Lai Qingshui also welcomed Zhang Dahuzi to the crew.

Anyway, Lai Qingshui just needs to follow the script and act accordingly.

There's nothing else to do.

at this time.

Filming continues.

Both Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min delivered commendable performances.

Even Zhou Zhiruo amazed Zhang Dahuzi... her eyes, appearance, and temperament.

"That's really good... I wonder if they'd be willing to film Tianlong?" Zhang Dahuzi thought to himself.

I came here to see Lai Qingshui's filming style.

Secondly, we also wanted to see if we could recruit some promising talents here.

Let's ignore Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen for now.

These two big names from Taiwan aren't cheap; for Zhang Dahuzi, investing in actors is the least cost-effective approach.

At least they won't use the term "idol type".

And Zhang Da Huzi.

More effort.

The key is to focus on these supporting characters...

Go find someone with good acting skills.

A seedling with a good price-performance ratio.

That's pretty good.

However, as the story unfolds...

There aren't many promising new talents...

These are all old-fashioned dishes.

They're all seasoned veterans.

In this regard.

Yin Liting, Mo Shenggu, Song Yuanqiao...

The Ming Cult's protector, the White-browed Eagle King...

these people.

Zhang Da Huzi read it once.

Let's focus more on observing Lai Qingshui's shooting techniques.

but.

When Song Qingshu was photographed.

"This actor..."

"Oh, his name is Song Qing... oops, oops, his name is Li Yun." At this point, Lai Qingshui paused and said, "I've completely forgotten his name."

"Forehead...."

Zhang Dahuzi found Lai Qingshui's reaction quite novel.

They don't call the actors by their names, they just call them by their characters, is that alright?

However, what shocked Zhang Dahuzi next was...

Song Qingshu's role.....

"this...."

Zhang Da Huzi looked at Song Qingshu in front of him...

........

It is said that actors who are deeply immersed in their roles are very much in their characters.

Li Yun is extremely immersed in his role.

For other crew members...

He got into character.

It's not deep anymore.

Call him Li Yun.

He ignored him completely.

Call him Song Qingshu.

Only OK.

This is evident in the veteran actors in the show.

I have to admit it.

That's how immersed they are in the role.

It all happened step by step.

It all started with talking to myself.

Later on, he wouldn't respond to you by his real name; you had to call him by his character name.

"I think his mental state isn't very good." Even the actor who plays Song Yuanqiao, Song Qingshu's "father," said, "Acting like this... really seems a bit crazy."

As an actor, it's difficult to distinguish between the role and oneself.

Is this good or bad?

At least Song Yuanqiao felt that this wasn't much better.

But at this moment, it is undeniable that...

From an acting perspective, this kind of expression is effective.

Not only that, but he also got deeply involved in the role.

It can also be used to target other people.

They were also drawn into the play.

Quickly immerse yourself in this world of swords and chivalry...

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Gao Yuanyuan.

At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo...

He was sitting not far away.

The direction I'm looking in.

It's probably Zhang Wuji?

That's probably it...

.......

Zhao Min challenged the six major sects to a martial arts contest, hoping to steal their kung fu moves.

At this moment, Song Qingshu was brought up, his internal energy was sealed, and he was made to fight his subordinates.

"No matter how I compete, I'm bound to lose..."

"Alright, someone, bring Zhou Zhiruo from Mount Emei up here." Zhao Min didn't waste any time and directly brought Zhou Zhiruo up.

at this time.

Song Qingshu finally gave in and said slowly.

"As long as you don't cause trouble for Zhiruo... I'll go, I'll compete."

Later on...

Zhou Zhiruo embarrassed Zhao Min in public. Zhao Min was ruthless; offending her would result in her finger being cut off.

at this time.

It was Song Qingshu who stepped forward.

"I will bear this sword for Zhiruo."

He didn't even wait for Zhao Min's consent.

Song Qingshu gritted his teeth and slashed himself with his sword.

It's so cold it makes you gasp.

"You don't have to do this." Zhou Zhiruo looked at Song Qingshu, her feelings towards him were indifferent.

"No, it has nothing to do with Sister Zhiruo. It was all my own choice," Song Qingshu said slowly, his face pale as he covered his hands.

That concludes the filming of this scene.

Zhao Min devised a plan to surround the masters of the six major sects, hoping to learn martial arts techniques from them, but in the end, she was tricked into escaping by Zhang Wuji of the Ming Cult.

During this time, Zhou Zhiruo saw through Zhao Min's scheme and discovered Zhao Min's plot.

Enraged, Zhao Min tried to cut off Zhou Zhiruo's fingers.

Later, Song Qingshu carried a sword for Zhou Zhiruo.

However, the willful princess did not seem to let Zhou Zhiruo off the hook.

The spoiled princess is just like that by nature.

later.

Zhang Wuji appeared to save the day.

Sister Zhiruo, her eyes are only for Brother Wuji.

When Zhang Wuji arrived, he displayed his great prowess and rescued the damsel in distress.

This contrasts sharply with Song Qingshu, who could only carry a sword for love.

Song Qingshu could only beg for mercy.

But Zhang Wuji will use his power to save people.

gap....

?

...

This scene.

The filming was finished quickly.

acting.

effort.

Demeanor and expression.

Alec Su acted very well.

He acted very well.

Anyone who sees his portrayal of Zhang Wuji will inevitably praise him, saying that he played Zhang Wuji very well.

But this Song Qingshu.

Anyone who came to see it.

Not a single word could be uttered.

This is Song Qingshu.

Such immersion.

This made Lai Qingshui murmur to himself.

"His greatest strength is that he can draw people into the play... making them unable to extricate themselves. That's what an immersive actor is all about."

And Zhou Zhiruo, Gao Yuanyuan...

At this moment, he was also getting into character...

at this time.

Zhang Da Huzi has been watching all day.

Immersive actor.

He completely immersed himself in the role.

To be oneself, to be oneself.

Everything became a way of portraying the character.

"Among all these supporting actors, besides the veteran actors, Li Yun is the most outstanding." Lai Qingshui paused and said, "But it's a pity, he's an immersive actor... Mr. Zhang, you probably won't be able to use him."

Immersive actor.

The most impressive thing is the ability to empathize with the character.

There's also the immersive experience.

However, this also means that their acting roles will be very limited.

This is an objectively existing flaw in the immersive approach, a consensus shared both domestically and internationally within the industry.

Song Qingshu was completely absorbed.

That doesn't mean you can immerse yourself in other roles.

Perhaps this time, his performance as Song Qingshu will be unforgettable.

Profound and insightful.

But his performance in other roles was lackluster...

This is common for immersive actors.

"That's easy. Just let him play a role that feels similar... He doesn't need to be too immersed in the role. As long as he can bring out some of the feeling and acting skills of 'Song Qingshu,' that's enough. He can't embody other people, so he can't embody Song Qingshu."

Zhang Da Huzi murmured.

Especially after hearing that Li Yun, who plays Song Qingshu, is an unknown actor.

After the price became cheaper.

Their minds became even more active.

"Then you'd better sign him as soon as possible, otherwise his price will go up when our show airs." Lai Qingshui joked from the side. Although the increase in value for a supporting role is negligible, he did not deny that Li Yun's performance in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was quite amazing and satisfying.

Zhang Da Huzi touched his big beard.

"I'll think about it..."

"Mr. Zhang, you're thinking of Murong Fu, aren't you?"

at this time.

Lai Qingshui immediately thought of the character Murong Fu.

There is some overlap between her character and that of Song Qingshu.

If these two characters were to cross-dress, it seems like there wouldn't be any problem...

Zhang Da Huzi neither denied nor admitted it.

We are still recruiting for roles in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

I need to think about it.

After all, there was a senior actor as a candidate for Murong Fu, who was even an old actor who had played the role in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
