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

Chapter 51, How can a drifter like me compete?

the other side.

Xiuqing also received the news.

This time, someone is competing against me on the same stage.

Xiuqing initially thought that some big-name Jin Yong fan wanted the role and was trying to steal it from her.

Otherwise, it makes no sense.

I wouldn't say it's a sure thing that Xiuqing will get the role.

It can also be said that it has an extremely high degree of compatibility with oneself.

It was supposed to be almost a foregone conclusion.

But at this very moment, news broke.

Although he wasn't snatched away from this role, someone auditioned for it on the same stage as him.

They auditioned on the same stage, not to mention...

This actor, a former extra, apparently hadn't played many roles before being handpicked by the producer to give it a try...

This made Xiuqing feel depressed.

who is he.

Besides being an actor.

She is also a successor of Henan Opera.

A family with a long history in traditional Chinese opera.

His father, Xiu Zhengyu, was among the first group of young male actors established in the new China.

She often shared the stage with Chang Xiangyu.

He started learning Henan Opera at the age of seven.

Martial arts actors, young male actors, clowns, old male actors...

Later, she was spotted by Derek Yee and stepped into the entertainment industry.

She became an actor.

In every sense, his background was not inferior.

He was a true member of the entertainment industry, and later he studied acting in college.

It can be said.

Both their background and professional skills are quite excellent.

As an actor

As a descendant of the quintessential Henan Opera family.

Xiuqing felt somewhat frustrated that she had to compete with a struggling actor for a role.

Judging from the results...

It seemed like they were being looked down upon.

However, this was personally approved by Zhang Da Huzi.

"Which powerful family's young master is here for training?"

At this moment, Xiuqing was quite depressed and couldn't help but complain while drinking tea with her father.

His father, the veteran artist Xiu Zhengyu, was holding a teacup when he heard his son's complaint. He laughed and cried at the same time, saying, "You make it sound like you don't have any connections. Don't forget you're also a descendant of a veteran artist... Besides, if you really had connections, would you need to become a struggling actor in Hengdian World Studios? You would have been sent to learn acting like me."

"Dad, how can you talk back to your own son like that?"

Xiuqing was speechless; her father's words hadn't even hinted at helping her.

"Well, in my opinion, this is what makes a project healthy. No matter what your background is, the first thing to consider is whether you are 'suitable' for the role. That's what auditions are all about."

"But...."

"You're just resentful because you're placed on the same level as those struggling actors in Hengdian World Studios. You feel that because you come from a family of performers, have formal training, and have more acting experience, you shouldn't be on the same platform as him. You think he's unworthy..."

Xiuqing shook her head, then nodded.

It is undeniable.

Everyone probably has this thought...

I'm already a senior.

They are still on the same starting line as their juniors.

Then... all those years of hard work have been for nothing?

"When you were filming Drunken Master, didn't you also take someone else's place? At that time, the director felt you were more suitable... If everyone strictly follows the hierarchy of status as the basis for casting, it would only make the project stagnant."

Xiuqing's father explained with a smile, "So, there's no need to be surprised or disappointed... If you're confident in your abilities, then it's not a big deal... As your father, I also have confidence in your abilities."

"I lost my self-confidence, mainly because I quite like the character Murong Fu."

"Haha, your dad likes it too. I used to follow Mr. Murong Fu's novels in the newspapers and read them so much that I forgot to eat and sleep. I never had the chance to play a role in it, but my son has this opportunity, which is great... I really like the character of Murong Fu."

Xiu Zhengyu's words actually calmed Xiuqing down a lot.

Yes.

That's how everyone climbed up...

As a veteran in the entertainment industry, I feel I am more qualified and appropriate.

Then let's just put on a show for others...

To produce a result.

This is what I need to do.

After calming myself down, I realized it wasn't a big deal and just waited quietly for the audition.

and.

If it really is a drifter in Hengdian.

Then what can you use to fight me for ownership of this character?

...

"Actually, I think you don't need to go to the audition," Tian Xiaoli said casually from the side. "Xiuqing is practically a specialist in this kind of role."

"Oh, I see."

Li Yun stroked his chin: "Anyway, let's do our best."

"You might as well keep playing chivalrous heroes; after all... you're suited for it."

He still thinks about Nie Renwang.

Li Yun figured it out.

Tian Xiaoli wanted to make herself more like Nie Renwang.

To ease the pain of longing.

But as far as acting is concerned...

He always plays the same type of role.

The end result is the solidification of roles and acting styles, leading to stereotyped roles.

I absolutely cannot go down this path.

after all.

Those noisy personalities.

They won't let themselves off the hook....

One of the reasons I act is to treat my illness...

To cure the disease.

He's about to become a versatile actor.

A thousand people, a thousand faces, a changing role.

Although their relationship is that of friends, it is still called a friendship.

But Tian Xiaoli can also be considered a "senior" in the entertainment industry.

He is a senior.

Actually, there are many things you can ask Tian Xiaoli for advice on.

In return, well... male bodhisattvas must offer their physical bodies as alms to help all sentient beings!

"Excellent, excellent," Li Yun thought to himself, "I really am a great philanthropist."

Tian Xiaoli will not stay in Beijing any longer, as she is an actress and needs to travel around to film.

Very busy.

Actors are very busy, traveling all over the country. If they have many acting opportunities, it doesn't really matter where they settle down.

Those with money might choose to buy properties in multiple locations and settle down, like Tian Xiaoli, who owns houses in Beijing, Hengcheng, and Taiwan.

Many Hong Kong and Taiwanese actors even own houses in mainland China, but not in their home countries... After all, the prices of houses in Hong Kong and Taiwan are simply unaffordable for the average person.

Although the housing prices have reversed in the past few years... so Li Yun thought that now that he had some money, he should at least buy a house in Beijing.

Returning to Tian Xiaoli, after the broadcast of "Storm Riders 1".

Tian Xiaoli received many acting offers, and her alluring charm became known.

It's that time of busy wandering again.

"Do whatever you want. Everyone has their own choices and their own path in acting. I'm not a big-name actor, so of course I can't give you the best advice."

Tian Xiaoli packed her clothes and then went out.

He waved goodbye to Li Yun.

"Bye-Bye."

at this time.

Li Yun did not respond to her.

Tian Xiaoli dragged her suitcase and temporarily left Beijing.

"Why didn't you say goodbye?" The dark-skinned young man next to him asked in bewilderment. "That's so impolite."

however.

Before Li Yun could answer him.

The young nobleman of the martial arts world waved his folding fan lightly, and spoke calmly.

"She wasn't waving goodbye to him..."

It's someone who's long gone.

He is now a retired knight-errant.
