This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

But the next scene is the most important.

That was when Yin Zhiping broke the rules in the Tomb of the Living Dead.

At this moment, Li Qing's eyes changed, and his hands trembled.

It seems to be about talking about the air in front of you, and kissing someone who doesn't exist.

His eyes were filled with confusion, pain, and resentment.

Yes, more than anything, it was resentment.

Why would a goddess undress Yang Guo?

Why can't I just kiss her lips?

Jealousy and resentment erupted, and then...

And love.

It was as if there really was a stunningly beautiful woman before him, tempting this aloof Taoist priest to break his vows.

The Quanzhen School forbids marriage.

When love and affection arise, the precepts are broken.

He then betrayed Zhongnan Mountain.

...

"I am willing to die at the hands of Miss Long."

That was the scene of Yin Zhiping's final exit.

Filled with regret, love, and unwavering resolve, he blocked the attack from the Golden Wheel Monk.

At that moment, Yin Zhiping finally expressed his love for Xiaolongnu.

That's no less than Yang Guo's.

A person who adheres to strict rules and regulations has broken the rules.

He will not let down Xiaolongnu, nor will he let down the Quanzhen Sect.

The whole nature of it changes.

The original story's protagonist committed suicide out of guilt for insulting Xiaolongnu, but the story changed to him dying for love and righteousness.

It's all just a play, a play!

Both Yu Jian and Zhang Dahuzi could clearly feel the emotions in their acting.

The emotions that come from the 'role' itself.

"The performance is over."

In almost a second, the Taoist priest instantly broke character, transforming from the extremely complex Yin Zhiping back into the seemingly lazy Taoist priest Li Qing.

"Immersive style..."

Zhang Da Huzi immediately recognized Li Qing's acting style.

They are immersive, transforming themselves into the characters.

He is the character, and the character is him.

Zou Xun and Zhang Guorui both belong to this school.

Yu Jian had dealt with them before, and could only say that those who were immersed in their surroundings were prone to mental illness.

Moreover, once you get into a role, it's very difficult to get out of it.

Some people have even ended their lives due to difficulty detaching themselves from their roles and experiencing depression.

One cannot truly live without being obsessed.

They can be out of character in a second and into character in a second.

This was something Yu Jian had never heard of before.

However, now is not the time to dwell on what kind of performance style the other party has.

The important thing now is how to handle the role at hand.

"Alright, we'll give you feedback on our ideas within three days. In the next three days, you can go about your business as usual."

"Oh, alright, then I'll take my leave now. I'm off to Yandang Mountain; I still have work to do today."

Li Qing hadn't forgotten his job as the assistant martial arts choreographer.

After all, the other party had already paid him half of his salary upfront.

"Okay, go ahead."

Li Qing took her thermos and turned to leave.

As for whether he can land the role, from assistant martial arts choreographer to supporting role, we'll have to wait for Zhang Dahuzi and Yu Jian to discuss it.

...

For Yu Jian and Zhang Dahuzi, any faction was fine.

The important question is whether Li Qing's portrayal of Yin Zhiping met their standards.

Yu Jian was marking scores on the paper.

60 points.

This is Yu Jian's score for Li Qing and Yin Zhiping.

A score of 60, without any personal bias.

"You gave him 60 points because his acting was passable."

Even without any filters, Li Qing's acting skills are considered competent.

Zhang Dahuzi and Yu Jian felt as if they were performing in a stage play.

This is definitely high praise for an actor, as the requirements for performing in a stage play are much higher than those for acting in a drama.

It's true that immersion therapy has significant side effects.

But this is also a kind of talent; not everyone can immerse themselves in a role and become another person.

Zhang Da Huzi stroked his big beard and said.

"So, the remaining deductions are because he didn't portray the Yin Zhiping you envisioned?"

"That's right." Yu Jian nodded and said, "Yin Zhiping is the villain. What kind of character does he play? A righteous, inactive, and desireless Taoist priest. He doesn't fit the villain in the book."

"I'd give it 85 points, the opposite of what you did."

Zhang Da Huzi said with a burning gaze.

"Because he portrayed the Yin Zhiping I had in mind."

"Don't underestimate this supporting role. He plays a crucial role in connecting the past and the future. Without Yin Zhiping, there would be no story to follow. So I hope that Yin Zhiping is a more well-rounded character."

"You said it was the encounter with Little Dragon Girl that made a pure and aloof Taoist priest fall in love with worldly desires."

"Or is it better to let a hypocrite, who appears virtuous but is actually morally upright, bear the brunt of the audience's condemnation?"

"this..."

Yu Jian was somewhat speechless: "But the original work..."

He still felt that such a significant change to the original work was somewhat unacceptable.

That way, the emotional tension disappears.

"If everything follows the original story exactly, what kind of adaptation is that? Tell me, isn't my previous statement better? Whether it's helping to develop Xiaolongnu or the plot arrangement itself?"

For a moment, Yu Jian was speechless.

Because it seems that's indeed the case, making it more dramatic.

Instead of turning Yin Zhiping into a one-dimensional villain.

"Cheng Haofeng is good, and he is very suitable for the role. He looks like he stepped out of Jin Yong's original work. He really put in a lot of effort for this role."

"But I chose to use Li Qing because he can give me more unexpected surprises, the kind of surprises that give me the courage to drastically revise the script."

Between surprise and suitability, Zhang Dahuzi wanted to choose surprise.

If he were the protagonist, he wouldn't make that decision.

But this is a supporting character, and it can still be developed; it's not a flat, one-dimensional supporting character.

Zhang Da Hu Zi wanted to portray this supporting character as a "surprise".

"I see."

Yu Jian nodded.

Giving a passing score of 60 points also implies that the decision is left to Zhang Da Huzi.

If Zhang Dahuzi decides to use Li Qing, Yu Jian won't have any objections.

Especially after Zhang Da Huzi said that, it all made sense.

Zhang Da Huzi added.

"Besides, newcomers are cheaper, much cheaper."

Zhang Da Huzi was known for wanting to use the best steel on the blade.

The actor strikes a balance between being cheap and being useful.

It doesn't need to be expensive, nor does it need to be cheap.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jian stroked his chin and said.

"Actually, when you think about it carefully, Li Qing is not bad either."

The plum blossoms now smelled delicious.

In terms of acting skills alone, she is no less capable than Cheng Haofeng.

However, in terms of price, it's quite a good deal.

"It's really rare to encounter such a 'drama fanatic' in this day and age," Yu Jian remarked. In his mind, immersive performances were basically synonymous with being a drama fanatic.

Immersive theater is the same as theater fanaticism, and theater fanaticism is the same as immersive theater.

Then, he went mad.

After deciding on all the supporting roles, Zhang Dahuzi leisurely ordered a bottle of red wine, wanting to have a drink with Yu Jian, but Yu Jian declined, saying he had to go to the film set later.

"Hey, haven't you noticed? He can be completely immersed in the role, but he can also snap out of it in a second... without any burden at all."

"Pretty amazing, isn't it?"

"I think he's not just a 'drama fanatic,' he's a 'drama demon'..."
