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

This scene is considered one of the most famous moments in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

This is also where Yin Zhiping best showcases his acting skills.

It's also the place where the most heated comments have ever been from viewers.

No one knows exactly how it will be performed.

You can act lewd, you can act shameless, and you can act furious.

Tension, excitement, pleasure, pain.

This is where the actors really get to improvise.

It was here that Li Qing started making mistakes.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong? Can't get into character? Where's your skill from before?" Yu Jian scolded.

This was also the first time in days that Li Qing had to retake a scene because she couldn't get into character.

Li Qing took a deep breath.

"It's okay... let's try again."

"Hmm, Act III, Chapter IV, Begin, Tenth Time."

The director wanted to create a sense of ethereal, hazy beauty.

Zhang Da Huzi's three treasures—a hairdryer—blown up Li Qing's long hair, and a camera was shoved between them, filming their changing expressions.

Li Qing closed his eyes and felt himself transforming into Yin Zhiping.

I want to become the "person" I've been copying these past few days, to become the Taoist patriarch in my heart.

A taciturn, icy Taoist priest who, having been moved by worldly desires, has developed some human lust.

Unbelievable, that was Yin Zhiping recalling the scene where Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo practiced martial arts.

Trembling, Yin Zhiping, who was originally self-possessed by his cultivation, could no longer restrain himself in the face of the goddess in his heart.

Then a trembling kiss.

His expression contained resentment, love, and guilt, but none of these could stop his emotions.

That kind of love and hate entanglement, which ultimately transforms into a kiss.

Liu Yifei, who was blindfolded, trembled slightly.

A blasphemy as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, yet brimming with tender blasphemy and love.

Yu Jian's mouth was slightly open, as he wanted to film the entire scene in one take.

We need to film this in one continuous shot!

Film this entire scene, which is full of dramatic moments!

.......

On the other side, Cheng Haofeng, who had just entered, saw this performance and, despite having a thousand words to say, was speechless.

He wanted to see how his opponent had defeated him, and Zhang Dahuzi readily agreed to let him watch Yin Zhiping's performance.

He fell silent as he watched his "opponent" perform in the distance.

He clutched tightly in his hand the notes he had made about the people he had recorded.

He also put in effort and researched the subject.

All of this was compiled into this biographical sketch, in which I read through all the works of my predecessors and summarized the original characters' personalities.

To be honest, Cheng Haofeng doesn't like the character Yin Zhiping.

But he never expected that Yin Zhiping could act like this, or that there was such an angle to it.

I originally intended to give this collection of biographical notes to him.

This way, even as a loser, one can appear more carefree.

Cheng Haofeng shook his head.

Some things are simply not as good as they seem.

.......

"Cut! That's it!"

When Yu Jian said "ka," Li Qing immediately deflated.

"call."

Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief.

This time, Li Qing didn't break character for a second, and it took her a while to recover from that state.

Not to mention Yu Jian was nervous, all the crew members watching were quite nervous.

During the scene with the steel, no one dared to speak loudly.

"To be honest, I don't know if you've given a satisfactory performance as Yin Zhiping; that's for the audience to judge."

Yu Jian paused for a moment and then said, "But at least, in my eyes, your acting skills are up to par."

Yes, you passed.

Yu Jian has no way to influence the audience's tastes; he doesn't know whether the audience likes Yin Zhiping or not.

Even in the original work, he is a rather controversial character. He lived a life almost without shame, except in matters of the heart, where he committed an unforgivable crime, taking advantage of others' misfortunes and defaming their innocence, which can be considered an extremely despicable act.

However, his merits outweigh his flaws. Although he was wrong in minor matters, he upheld the great principles of national righteousness. In the battle when the Mongol warriors attacked Chongyang Palace, Yin Zhiping was not swayed by wealth and glory. He fought resolutely against the Mongol warriors and the rebels of the Quanzhen Sect, facing death without fear. In the end, he also died for love. He sacrificed himself to protect Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, ending his own life and preserving his own reputation.

This script adaptation focuses more on portraying Yin Zhiping as a supporting character entangled in love and hate, betraying both morality and affection.

From a director's perspective, Yu Jian was impressed that Li Qing was able to express so many different emotions in a single take.

That's already quite strong.

The subsequent plot also saw significant changes...

The male lead is still Yang Guo, and Xiaolongnu is still chasing after Yin Zhiping, who stole her kiss, only the reason has become ambiguous and vague...

Just like Yang Guo is always entangled with chivalrous women in the martial arts world, why can't Xiaolongnu have entanglements too? Why can't Huang Rong have entanglements... Oh no, Huang Rong isn't, Huang Rong is on the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes next door.

"I just portrayed the Yin Zhiping I had in mind. As for whether the audience likes it or not, as long as the pay is right, that's all that matters," Li Qing joked. He also hoped that this drama could change people's stereotypes about Yin Zhiping... He wasn't a sleazy guy in history; he was a high-ranking official!

"Haha, you'll definitely get your share of the pay."

Yu Jian was amused. As an actor, he had just delivered a textbook-perfect performance, yet he was still so humble.

"Brother Li Qing, how do you manage to act so well?"

Liu Yifei, who had just come out of character, looked at Li Qing with curiosity.

She had just come out of the play, her face still slightly flushed, after all, she had just acted in such a scene.

Even though it was filmed from a different angle and there was no physical contact, there was an indescribable... feeling.

You can even feel the love coming from 'Yin Zhiping'.

So real.

Like water, flowing.

But that's fake.

What's fake is fake, and what's staged is staged.

Some people can get out very quickly.

Some people take a little longer to come out.

some people...

At this moment, everyone around listened with curiosity, including Huang Xiaoming, who always had a high opinion of his acting skills.

"Actually, it's about understanding the character more and then becoming that character."

Li Qing paused for a moment and then said, "That's what you often call the experiential learning approach, right?"

"The teacher said that method actors are slow to get into and out of character. Why are you able to get in and out of character so quickly, Brother Li? Also, I heard that method actors are prone to mental illness..."

Huang Xiaoming is also very outspoken.

"Ugh... That's where I got the advantage. It was a lucky coincidence that I, a Taoist priest, played a Taoist priest. In the last scene just now, I wasn't exactly a smooth actor either."

Li Qing smiled and said.

"As for mental illness, you can rest assured, I probably won't have it."

Why?

Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but ask, he was also a little curious, it was different from what the textbook said, and different from what the teacher said!

"Because, I am a Taoist priest."

"Taoist priests cultivate both body and spirit."

"Mountain retreat is not only about cultivating the body, but also the mind and spirit; it's about being one with the heavens and the mountains, and cultivating oneself."

"I am who I am, and the Way is the Way. My method of entering into the play and cultivating others is 'destiny,' while cultivating myself and my ego is 'nature,' which is the Way."

"The spirit is inseparable from the breath, the breath is inseparable from the spirit, the nature is inseparable from the destiny, and the destiny is inseparable from the nature."

Because he was a Taoist priest, and because he had spent more than ten years in ascetic practice in the mountains.

To be able to completely control one's 'self'.

I am fully aware that 'I' am Li Qing.

As long as you maintain this understanding, feel free to use the experiential learning approach!

Anyway, I won't experience cognitive disorder.

These words left both Yu Jian and Huang Xiaoming speechless.

I said.

"So... won't you get so immersed in the role that you can't get out of character and end up with a split personality because of this method acting approach?"

"Probably not," Li Qing said with a smile.

Huang Xiaoming exclaimed inwardly.

Coach! I want to become a Taoist priest!

"More than ten years of seclusion and cultivation have not been in vain."

Li Qing's arduous cultivation on the mountain was not just about learning the systematic skills; his master also genuinely taught him how to become a true Taoist priest.

Upon hearing that it took more than ten years of secluded cultivation to acquire this skill, I was immediately struck by the fact that...

Upon hearing that he had disturbed him, Huang Xiaoming took his leave, apologizing.

This is a case of giving someone a chance but they're useless; even if you tell others, they can't copy or imitate it.

This is an advantage unique to Master Li.

However, the personality influence brought about by the immune experience school is still not a simple path.

After all, it always takes effort to become this character and to understand this character.

"Alright, now it's time to rehearse the action scenes."

Action scenes!

coming soon!

To be honest, Li Qing is more looking forward to action scenes; filming dramatic scenes is still exhausting!

"Li Qing, you should rest tomorrow and prepare for the martial arts scenes."

Yu Jian made some arrangements.

We'll give Li Qing and the others a rest tomorrow and the day after, and film other scenes first, while they prepare for the action scenes.

"Um."
