I am not mentally ill, I am the actor with a thousand faces

Chapter 105, Who am I really?

When I was a child, I came from a poor family. There were five brothers in my family, and I could not even afford water or porridge occasionally.
  Sometimes when I am hungry, I will ask my parents, why we can’t even afford porridge and water, but the county magistrate not only eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, but even wine and meat stink when left in the backyard?

My father and mother said that they were civil servants and they could afford to have enough food and clothing, and they could even support multiple wives.

I'm a little confused. Why can't my family even eat porridge in the year of the great disaster? Their wine and meat can stink.
  I had some expectations about entering the palace, about the 'court', a court where I could afford food and let go of wine and meat.
  I say.

Then can I become the county magistrate?
  My parents said, no, we are not qualified to touch the Four Books and Five Classics.

Is it because of family reasons?

Yes.

But doesn’t the county magistrate always say that he came from a poor family and rose from humble beginnings, so why can’t we do the same? I can also read the Four Books and Five Classics. In order to change the current living situation, I can also make efforts that ordinary people cannot make, and I can.

however.

My father only said one thing, which I only understood when I grew up.

poor family.

It's also a door.

When I was ten years old, my parents said.

If our family can no longer support you, how can we decide who to let into the palace?

I say.

Will you be able to afford porridge after entering the palace?

Not only can I afford porridge and water.

I can still afford meat, I can afford meat.

My parents said firmly, okay.
  I'm very happy, because my family is running out of food, and this year's harvest has been poor. If I don't find a way to make a living, I'm afraid I will starve to death, and my mother will starve to death.

So one person in the family must leave
  Fortunately, my father had a way to enter the palace.

I worked hard and prayed for the opportunity to enter the palace.

Fortunately, in the end, I got this opportunity. I was so excited that I almost jumped up.
  I don't have to suffer from cold and hunger anymore. Finally, I don't have to.
  But why, why brothers, do they look at me like this, why are their eyes full of pity?

Until later, when I came to the palace, I did not expect that this magnificent place would be where I would stay in the future. They sent me to the cleansing room.
  That knife took a piece of flesh off my body
  It hurts.

It really hurts and the bleeding didn't stop for a long time. I saw someone die because of this.

I cried.

I don't want to die.

I don’t know how long it took, but I recovered. At that time, I realized what my brother’s mercy was. I cried. But what I saw in front of me was steamed buns.
  "Eat it," the eunuch Wang An said calmly. He looked at me condescendingly.

The steamed buns are very clean, without any dirt or dust at all. They are cleaner than the steamed buns that are only eaten at home during the good harvest and Chinese New Year.

I tore the steamed bun into my stomach with big mouthfuls.

Finally I.

I can have a full meal.

‘From now on, the palace will feed you well, let you read the Four Books and Five Classics, let you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and will also teach you martial arts, if you have the talent. ’

‘Remember, everything you eat, use and wear is rewarded by the emperor’

It turns out that if people like us want to have enough to eat, want to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, play chess, calligraphy and painting, we have to pay this price.
  Those descendants of civil servants can obtain things easily, but we need to be physically mutilated to obtain them.
  But I can no longer think so much.

At least.

I can eat enough.

I won't starve to death in this pouring snow.

The next day, when I got up in the morning, the sun had not yet risen.

That's how filming is. Getting up early and staying up late is a trivial matter. We haven't started filming yet and we're still in the process of script reading training, so we need to get up so early.

"I had a dream last night."

Li Yun murmured.

I found myself lying on the table in the room, next to the scripts scattered on the floor.

I didn't go back to bed last night, so I fell asleep reading the script.

Entered into a lucid sleep.
  Remember everything in the dream.
  At this time, the father-in-law from the West Factory was not there, nor was that cold-blooded villain. Only the father-in-law from the East Factory was there. At this time, the father-in-law turned his back to Li Yun and said lightly: "You just kept our family waiting for a long time." Nowadays, there are quite a few.”

"That's it, then I'm sorry"

"Humph"

At this time, Li Yun looked at the father-in-law in front of him, paused and said.

"What's your name?"

"Cao Zhengchun, Governor of Dongchang."

At this time, the reading of the script was almost coming to an end, and Li Yun's sense of presence was getting lower and lower. It was really the expressiveness of Liu Songren and Guo Jinan in this reading that was just crazy.

Even Deng Yancheng was slightly emotional.

"Give him more support for the drama that will turn out to be right and wrong."

Here, the director also fine-tuned the weight based on everyone's performance in the script reading. The Guihai Yi Dao scene should be at the bottom, and the first one should be Cheng Right and Wrong.

There is also a gap in weight between the protagonists.
  There is no way, after all, there are differences in the sense of empathy and expressiveness between actors.

"Where's our Cao Zhengchun? We need to inform him to go for martial arts training." At this time, Xu Xiaodong, the assistant director who has never had a high presence in the crew, came out. After all, this is also a martial arts drama, and action is absolutely essential.

Even if special effects are developed, special effects cannot be used exclusively. This is the bottom line of the martial arts genre.

"Well, his presence has been a bit low recently. I heard that he has some martial arts skills?"

"You have to get familiar with the moves. Cao Zhengchun should be considered one of the top three masters in "The World's No. [-]". His martial arts expressiveness needs to be shown."

Excluding the Ancient Three Tongs, the first one is Iron Dan Shenhou, the second one is Cheng Right and Wrong who opened the indestructible King Kong, and the third one should be Governor Cao who has accomplished the Tiangang Boy Gong.

We also talked about Governor Cao, and Xu Xiaodong was also concerned about the script reading. He has been training the actors of the Duan Tianya group during this time.

"How should I put it? Our Governor Cao's character is a bit withdrawn. He always likes to be alone and has a low sense of existence. He is not very clear."

"The withdrawn type. Isn't this similar to Liang Chaowei, Jin Chengwu and others? Oh yes, there is also Zheng Yijian."

These are all old otakus in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, and their reputations are well known.

"Not really, I just feel like... Never mind, I don't know what to say. All in all, it's just filming. It doesn't matter what other people's personalities are like, it doesn't matter what our affairs are. As long as we can film the scene as required, it will be fine." Deng Yincheng also said.

"Call Xiao Liha for me."

"It's done."

At this time, Deng Yancheng also sent a message to Li Yun, saying that it was Cao Zhengchun's turn to design the action performance.

Many times, action scenes can be done by a stunt double, but if you can do it yourself, try to do it yourself.
  When Li Yun came here.

Deng Yancheng looked at Li Yun in shock.
  "What's wrong, Director Deng, is there something on our face?"

Li Yundu walked over and smiled slightly.

"Nothing. You go and plan the moves with Xu Xiaodong."

"OK."

At this time, he looked at Li Yun's back.

Deng Yancheng always felt that there was something different about Li Yun, but he couldn't explain what was different about him.

"This, Mr. Li."

At this time, Xu Xiaodong was stunned.
  When he saw Li Yun, he subconsciously didn't call out "Xiao Li", but blurted out "Mr. Li".
  "Ahem, cough, cough, we have a set of Kung Fu here. I know that you have Kung Fu skills, but there are some things that are always new. We have our own Kung Fu style here."

Xu Xiaodong also said seriously at this time.

What Cao Zhengchun is proficient in is called Tiangang Boy Kung Fu, which is extremely strong and extremely yang. Therefore, in terms of action design, it is necessary to highlight the 'masculine' feeling while opening and closing.

But we cannot lose the aura of Mr. Cao Zhengchun.

This is the subtlety of action design.

Just like Jackie Chan, his martial arts style can immediately remind people of Uncle Long, Donnie Yen, and Jet Li. They all have their own martial arts styles that fit the characters.

Martial arts is also a kind of acting skill, and it must serve the role and the script itself.

Li Yun listened very carefully.

nodded.

"I understand, Director Xu"

"Well, you'd better really understand. I'll give you a training session by myself. This isn't to make a fuss, but the action design of your character really needs some ideas. But you also have your own advantages, and the action The basics are pretty good.”

At this time, Xu Xiaodong wanted to sort out the movements and expressions of the 'Tiangang Boy Kung Fu' that he had thought up for Li Yun.

Li Yun said instead.

"Director Xu, I have some ideas of my own."

"Huh?" Xu Xiaodong looked at Li Yun and sighed in his heart. This is already a standard plot.

Just like when filming, actors always give their opinions on the characters to the director. This kind of behavior is actually quite common.
  But in the end, the actors will always be convinced by the professionalism of the directing team.

It should be the same this time.

Or rather, it must be like this.

Xu Xiaodong doesn't think Li Yun is ignorant. After all, he is a young mainland actor. He probably doesn't know the development history of Xiangjiang film and television action, which is the real action knowledge of real swordsmanship and gunfire.

If he really has a level of martial arts appreciation, he will probably know the difference when Xu Xiaodong fights again.

"Okay, let me see what you think." At this time, Xu Xiaodong hugged his chest and smiled, but he looked very interested.

then.

A set of punches flew over.

Xu Xiaodong had no time to dodge.

Just when the fist stopped at the tip of his nose, it stopped suddenly, then turned around, the fist turned into a palm, and the palm turned into fingers.
  Xu Xiaodong was stunned.

Tiangang Boy Kungfu, the most powerful and Yangzi Kungfu.

But the person using him at this moment is a eunuch, an eunuch.

Legs and feet punching style, masculine and domineering.

But when Li Yun used it, he could combine this skill with femininity.

He is obviously extremely masculine.
  It's obviously so tyrannical.
  But Li Yun gave this set of masculine skills a different feel.

A set of feelings that belongs only to myself and to Cao Zhengchun.
