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

Chapter 16, On the Power of Acting Skills

Li Qing also felt the gentle breeze and drizzle falling, and felt the slight coolness of the rain.

Zhang Dahuzi originally thought that feng shui was something that rarely produced immediate and surprising results.

The principle was that since it was free, one might as well believe a little. And it was only because a master from Taiwan said that today was an auspicious day that he was willing to give this young Taoist priest, Li Qing, a little trust.

But the situation before him surprised him with its immediate and effective results.

At exactly one-tenth of a quarter of a second, it started to rain.

A light, fine rain began to fall.

This kind of light rain is the best.

So juicy and delicious!

It thrives when it comes into contact with water!

"Little Li, this is a wonderful surprise for me."

Zhang the Bearded Man exclaimed in admiration.

At this point, he had to re-evaluate himself.

Martial arts and understanding feng shui are two different things.

He knows kung fu, has a foundation in action, and is liked by directors.

He understands feng shui, which is appreciated by the director's boss and investors!

The wealthier people are, the more they believe in this, especially those in the entertainment industry; there are practically no ones who don't.

"Well then, I wish 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' a successful start to filming."

With a command from Zhang Dahuzi, filming officially began, while the lead actors went up to offer incense and pay homage to Guan Yu.

.....

Upon entering the dressing room, Li Qing changed into a noticeably more magnificent and lighter Taoist robe and applied expensive makeup.

Watching the makeup artist meticulously work on my face.

I looked in the mirror.

Hmm, not bad, very handsome.

A Taoist priest with an elegant demeanor and a slightly aloof air.

The makeup artist was very particular, doing the makeup according to the feeling Zhang Da Huzi gave.

Li Qing, on the other hand, calmed down a bit.

Acting in the true sense is not about being someone else's background character, nor is it about being a bandit who dies after a few lines.

From this moment on, the performance begins.

The first act is a dialogue scene.

All the cameras and microphones were focused on Li Qing and Liu Yifei.

The cameras are all focused on the two of them acting together.

Li Qing took a deep breath and began to empathize with Yin Zhiping, transforming herself into the Yin Zhiping in her mind.

The scene where Yin Zhiping meets Xiaolongnu.

"Miss Long, this Yang Guo is a disciple of my Quanzhen Sect. It would be inappropriate for you to forcibly take him in."

His tone was cool and reserved.

There weren't many ups and downs.

Only when he saw Xiaolongnu did a trace of emotion appear in his eyes.

His eyes seemed to be telling a story.

"NG".

The first scene was NG (outtake).

Because Liu Yifei wasn't in character.

"What's wrong with you? We've been waiting for you for so long and you're still not in the mood? What's going on? Everyone's been waiting for you!" Yu Jian instantly transformed into a grumpy old man.

"I...I'm not in character yet. I'm sorry, Director Yu. I will try my best."

Liu Yifei felt somewhat wronged.

But there's nothing we can say; delaying filming and making mistakes is the original sin.

In fact, Yu Jian never thought he could get a shot in one take, or rather, there are very few shots that can be done in one take.

Liu Yifei is a rising star with experience in filming, including "Chinese Paladin".

It's really a bit unreasonable that they couldn't get into character after being given so much time.

Li Qing's performance was quite impressive to Yu Jian.

They got into character incredibly quickly.

She got into character even faster than Liu Yifei, who had prior filming experience! Much faster!

This is almost unbelievable for a newcomer.

This is quite incredible for someone who enjoys immersion.

He became immersed in it so quickly, is he really not suffering from a split personality?

"It's alright, we can try again," Li Qing comforted her.

Liu Yifei nodded and continued her performance.

"Miss Long, this Yang Guo is a disciple of my Quanzhen Sect. It would be inappropriate for you to forcibly take him in."

That's quite incredible.

This time, even Li Qing's tone of voice changed with her emotions.

The aloof and detached Taoist priest showed some emotional fluctuations when facing Xiaolongnu.

That feeling of being amazed.

It's a significant improvement over the first time, even the voice is more accurate.

And so, Xiaolongnu gradually became immersed in the role.

At the Tomb of the Living Dead, there is the first meeting with Yin Zhiping and the conversation about Yang Guo's future.

"The experiential learning group gets into character so quickly, wow."

"Is Brother Li following the experiential learning approach?"

Looking at Li Qing in front of him, Huang Xiaoming asked in confusion, "Aren't method actors supposed to be slow to get into and out of character?"

Why does it feel like Li Qing gets into character quickly, but also gets out of character quickly?

Expressionism, experientialism, and methodology.

Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Method actors can easily bring a character to their fullest potential.

"Perhaps it's because Yin Zhiping is a Taoist priest, and so is Xiao Li, that he gets into character and out of character quickly," said Zhang Zihan, who had finished her makeup. "Playing someone whose identity is true to them is an advantage in acting."

Despite saying that, Zhang Zihan still felt...

Impressed.

Liu Yifei also played herself, but why wasn't she able to get into character quickly?

Li Qing quickly got into character and influenced Liu Yifei as well.

The emotional connection also drew Liu Yifei into the role.

No one could have imagined that a relatively new actor, who had only been acting for a short time, could actually draw veteran actors into the role and bring the female lead into the story.

At this moment, Liu Yifei is like Xiaolongnu: aloof, superior, proud, and naive to the ways of the world.

At this moment, Li Qing is like Yin Zhiping: conservative, self-disciplined, and with little emotional fluctuation, but when facing Xiaolongnu, his emotions are stirred.

Even this subtle change was noticed by the camera.

The third time, the scene was over.

The third time!

There were no more NGs!

"The power of this acting is simply incredible."

Yu Jian found this quite incredible.

It can draw people into the role.

After the scene was over, Li Qing instantly returned to her Li Qing persona from Yin Zhiping.

That was incredibly fast!

Only Liu Yifei hasn't detached herself from the role; she's still the aloof Little Dragon Girl.

"Damn it, what's with this ability to break character so quickly?"

Looking at Li Qing, who was drinking goji berry tea with clear eyes, Yu Jian suddenly felt a pang of doubt about life.

If this is what auditions are like, then so be it.

But when it came to the actual filming, he was out of character in a second.

What kind of freak is this?

.....

After a week of filming.

"Why are you pressuring me so hard? Do you think I don't know? You just want to compete with me to become the third-generation head disciple so you can become the sect leader in the future."

In this scene, Yin Zhiping displayed restraint mixed with a hint of mockery and anger.

When acting opposite Zhao Zhijing, her acting skills were in no way inferior to that of the veteran actor.

Even on camera, this "Yin Zhiping" stands out remarkably!

He brought veteran actors to perform.

Basically, every NG (no good) wasn't because of Li Qing. Even if it was occasional, it wasn't because of Li Qing, but because of other people.

Who would believe that this is Li Qing's first time acting?

Is this your first time playing a supporting role with a name?

If I told anyone, who would believe me?

Some might even think that Li Qing is a veteran actor who has dominated the stage.

And then came the next scene.

That's the real challenge.

famous scene.

The scene where he pretends to be Yang Guo and acts like a lecher is about to begin.
