I am a leader in the entertainment industry

Chapter 42: Poor God

Some people may ask, why doesn’t Li Qi find resources to play the leading male role in a TV drama to promote himself, why is he still the second male role?

Of course, he also wants to play the leading male role, but for him, if the second male role is outstanding and challenging enough, then playing the second male role is also a good choice. In his previous life, Hu Ge deliberately played the second male role in”Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky” and”Legend of the Condor Heroes” when he could have played the leading male role, also because the role was more interesting.

A more typical example is Liang Jiafei, a god of acting, who can play any role with ease, and achieve the legendary”thousand faces of a thousand people”. This is the realm that Li Qi aspires to, rather than the absolute leading man.

Of course, Li Qi also knew that after filming”The Lotus Lantern”, he would no longer have the right to choose supporting roles or even the second male lead in the field of TV dramas, otherwise it would be a kind of self-harm and a waste of resources.

Li Qi was determined to play the role of Yang Jian. It was after careful consideration that he felt that he could handle the role. Li Qi would fight for it. If he knew at first glance that it was a role he could not play, why would he occupy the toilet without doing anything, which would ruin the classic?

Being able to control and perform brilliantly is another matter. Li Qi is not so arrogant as to think that he can surpass the original Erlang Shen Yang Jian played by Jiao Yingjun. That is the childhood memory of countless people and in a sense has become synonymous with Erlang Shen. But Li Qi wants to make such an attempt. Maybe he can also create a classic?

Thinking of this, Li Qi opened the script he had just received and read it roughly, mainly to see if there was a big deviation between this script and the original plot in his memory. If the script was different, it would be fun.

An hour later……

After roughly reading the script, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Although this world is always a little different from the previous life, fortunately the script is still the same as he remembered it, with very few deviations from his impression. This is normal. It would be strange if there were no deviations at all.

Because when filming, there will always be some uncontrollable factors, which may lead to changes in filming methods, or some small adjustments in the plot. As long as the general direction remains unchanged, there will be no problem.

After all, not everyone is Zhou Xinchi

Zhou Xinchi is the type who, even though he has written a script in advance, changes the plot of his own script in the end, and he almost loses his identity. Often, a change of idea or a flash of inspiration will become his reason to change the script, or even overturn all the things he has worked hard to shoot before and reshoot them.……

“In this case”

Li Qi smiled. If the script didn’t change, he could refer to Jiao Yingjun’s original performance without any worries. Although he didn’t have to act exactly as it was, it was worth a good reference.

Another TV series that is also worth referring to is”The Legend of the Lotus Lantern”. This TV series is a spin-off of the popular”The Lotus Lantern”. Although it is not as popular as the former, it focuses on the portrayal of Erlang Shen.

It is easier for Li Qi to understand the characters

Speaking of most people’s understanding of the character Yang Jian in”The Lotus Lantern”, the first impression that flashes in everyone’s mind should be the four words”bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens”. He set up a shocking situation, even taking himself into account, sacrificing love, family affection, reputation, and even himself. For the goal in his heart, he has been hiding his true self for many years.……

But Li Qi felt that the first impression was: God

Yang Jian in”The Lotus Lantern” is a real god, but what is the real meaning of the so-called”God”?

On Kindness: He was willing to risk everything and violate the laws of heaven just to save a scholar who cursed heaven and tens of thousands of people in Nanjun.……

On Pride: He follows orders but not instructions, and ignores the majesty of the Supreme Being of the Three Realms. He can remain calm in the innuendos of some opportunistic gods in Heaven because of his identity as a bastard of a human god.

On perseverance: He could endure humiliation for so many years, break up with his brothers, be hated by his beloved third sister, be misunderstood by all beings in the three realms, and bear all the grievances and pains by himself, just to help the three realms create a new set of heavenly rules.……

On infatuation: watching dances in the temple for thousands of years, the dancing moon shadow that is lingering in dreams, drinking from the three thousand rivers, lonely unrequited love that will never be regretted even if one dies nine times, who can compare with such infatuation?

On the meaning: He could risk his own life for Roaring Sky Dog, he could risk his own infamy for the sake of the Meishan brothers, he could sacrifice his most precious thing to save Nezha’s life after his true body died.……

On strategy: After thousands of years of planning, he hid it from his closest people, from all living beings in the three realms, and even from the almighty Guanyin Bodhisattva. No one could see through his true heart.……

On supernatural powers: His flesh body can be turned into a holy Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, his seventy-three transformations are even better than Sun Wukong’s, his three-pointed spear can judge people and gods, and gods, demons, and ghosts are terrified, and he is the number one war god in the three realms for a reason.……

This is God

This is a poor god.

Li Qi, who came to this conclusion, not only referred to the original version of”The Lotus Lantern”, but also referred to the”Prequel to the Lotus Lantern” which may not have been written yet, and also referred to a fan work,”Life is Long and Hateful, and the River Flows East”.》！

This is a web article

But it is an online novel that seems to have little to do with the TV series, an online novel with”The Lotus Lantern” as the background and Yang Jian as the protagonist, which caused countless readers to burst into tears after it was published!

Li Qi has also seen it, and even watched it more than once.

He really likes Yang Jian in”The Lotus Lantern”, which is also related to the description of this fan fiction. In fact, this fan fiction only restores the plot of the TV series from the perspective of Yang Jian. After all, the protagonist of the TV series is Chenxiang, so what the audience sees is what Chenxiang sees.……

Even some viewers who don’t watch TV dramas seriously or have a sense of substitution for the protagonist will think that Yang Jian is a villain. Only after watching”Life is Long and Hateful, and the River Flows East” and restoring the course of events from Yang Jian’s perspective, will they understand the painstaking efforts of this character. In terms of understanding the characters, in Li Qi’s opinion, this online article is a very thorough understanding.

So Li Qi decided!

For his character biography, he only needs to learn from”Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East” and present the character in the form of a story. In other words, he needs to learn from that online article and retell the story about the Lotus Lantern from Yang Jian’s perspective. For Li Qi, who is very good at writing character biographies, this kind of story with a template as a reference is very simple.

Looks like I accidentally cheated again……

However, it is necessary to cheat at this time. If possible, Li Qi would like to re-read the original text of”Life is Long and Hateful, and the River Flows East” to heal himself. Although the Tiandi Wuji system can meet his requirements, it costs points. Li Qi is reluctant to do so, so he can only write it based on his memory and the plot of the script in his hand, as well as the reference of the TV series”Preface to the Legend of the Lotus Lantern”.

“Seems a bit of a pit”

There is no”Life is Long and Hateful” in this world, but I want to write a similar story. The first audience of this story may be the main creative staff including the director and screenwriter.……
