I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

"Indeed, he's still at the level of a third-tier athlete..."

Zhao Wenzhuo watched Li Yun's fight scene and then added, "However, his swordsmanship feels very much in line with the character himself..."

Because the character design fits perfectly.

That's why this swordsmanship is so formidable.

That's what makes it visually impactful.

but....

This swordsmanship is so perfectly suited to the character.

The momentum they displayed.

The effect shown in the lens.

At this moment, Zhao Wenzhuo felt it even more deeply.

Looking at this swordsman.

She's so young.

Yet it possesses a heroic grandeur.

Nie Renwang....

Zhao Wenzhuo put himself in that shoes, imagining himself... truly being that young actor, the little Nie Feng, watching his father walk alone on the path to certain death, driven by a vengeful spirit.

Maybe....

Oh no!

Upon thinking of this, Zhao Wenzhuo's expression suddenly changed, becoming quite ugly.

How did I automatically put myself in his son's shoes?!

...

"This, his movements are wrong..." At this moment, the martial arts choreographer came to find director Xu Zhenliang. It's not that the performance didn't follow his instructions at all. Anyone who is even slightly like a martial arts choreographer wouldn't be so unlike him at all. The movements are very different from what he arranged.

however.

Xu Zhenliang, however, was looking at the martial arts scene in front of him and said...

"He did nothing wrong. If you say he played incorrectly, then you are wrong."

Martial arts instructor: "..."

But to be honest.

indeed.

According to Li Yun's own playing style.

It has more of a Nie Renwang feel to it... It's an instinct, a magnificent and heroic broadsword.

This is the real Nie Renwang!

Meanwhile, Xiong Ba's stunt double quickly became familiar with Li Yun's fighting style and fought with great force.

soon.

Working with a stunt double to rehearse action scenes.

This fight scene is now complete...

When this fight scene ended.

Nie Renwang's role is coming to an end.

A desolate, solitary cliff.

A lonely swordsman.

Nie Renwang fell into the Qilin Cave and was killed by the Fire Qilin. His death was incredibly frustrating.

In the future, Nie Feng will obtain his Snow Drinking Blade here.

Seeing the remains of my father, who passed away when I was young...

The death of Nie Renwang.

I have retired from the martial world.

But it's also because the world of martial arts can't tolerate me.

The martial arts world cannot tolerate a Nie Renwang.

They can't tolerate someone like me who has already retired from the world of martial arts.

However, at the moment of his death, Nie Renwang suddenly...

I just realized that.

It's not that the world can't accept me.

Rather, it is that I have been abandoned by this chaotic world.

It is my weakness.

Nie Renwang's final look, a look of being abandoned by the times, was deeply moving.

Nie Feng watched his "father" die...

Let's see.

Even Nie Renwang, the Northern Blade, who was abandoned by the martial arts world, still had his final dignity.

.....

Nie Renwang's scenes have wrapped up filming.

Although it was just a minor supporting role, and even somewhat of a cameo.

After all, from the moment they appeared on screen to the moment filming wrapped, it was only a week and a half...

But at least, it left a rather deep impression on Chiba Makoto and Dada Koreya....

After the filming ended

"You know what? While filming, I actually felt that having you as my husband wasn't so bad." Tian Xiaoli looked at Li Yun with a squinted smile, her words dripping with flirtatious charm.

"After all, King Nie was also so devoted in love..."

Li Yun felt a strong urge to seduce him.

But I still said it.

"The senior's setup was still the best..."

"Haha, no... acting opposite you also made me... well, there's an old saying that goes, my heart was pounding."

Chiba Makoto said no, but he was actually quite happy inside, especially because Li Yun's acting skills had given him a real treat for acting.

Li Yun smiled.

It's just a compliment to the lead actor.

Everyone says that, and it's true, that Xiong Ba's acting was absolutely phenomenal...

Chiba Makoto and Tian Xiaoli smiled as they saw Li Yun off.

Tian Xiaoli even left a phone number...

Although Li Yun roughly knew what it meant, he still had to pretend he didn't understand...

At this moment, Tian Xiaoli and Xiong Ba went to reshoot their scenes.

When Xu Zhenliang left the group, he even came to see Li Yun...

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, who looked like a big boy, Xu Zhenliang never imagined that he was the domineering Nie Renwang.

The Northern Drinking Madman in that drama.

"Please sit down."

"Okay, director."

Li Yun was extremely polite.

This wasn't the first time I'd met the director; I was already used to a humble yet assertive demeanor.

This, on the contrary, made Xu Zhenliang appreciate it.

"I didn't expect Hengcheng to have such a promising talent as you... It's a pity though, you're an immersive actor."

Xu Zhenliang still felt a bit sorry.

Immersive actors have a very high ceiling for a single role.

However, in contrast, aside from a single character that allows for immersive character development, the minimum acceptable level of performance is difficult to guarantee...

but.

Such a long acting career.

Very few actors can truly make a lasting impression with just one role...

There is one.

That's it.

At this moment, Xu Zhenliang still spoke.

"Your acting is actually a bit raw... There's still a lot of room for improvement in your delivery of lines, but your immersion, micro-expressions, and emotional expression largely make up for this."

"I know Director Xu."

Possessing a character can bring about a certain temperament and the ability to express emotions.

It allows for a more authentic and natural expression of the character.

"So I unilaterally deleted quite a few lines..." Li Yun said somewhat embarrassedly.

Knowing his own weakness in this area, he used a clever trick to downplay the shortcomings of his lines as much as possible.

Dialogue is also a reflection of acting skills.

We will definitely need to make up for it later.

But for Xu Zhenliang...

The extra in front of me is a special actor who was reassigned after being a bit player.

This level of performance is really quite good...

It even shocked him.

The way and method of performance can be improved.

But more subtle and nuanced expressions of emotion.

There's no way to improve it through methods.

This is an ability that only immersive actors possess... No matter how good the acting is from a method actor, it's a fatal blow when faced with an immersive actor who completely gets into the role.

Immersion, engagement, and conviction.

It can cover up the shortcomings in acting and the flaws in the dialogue.

He wasn't acting.

He is Nie Renwang.

Even with some flaws, he is still Nie Renwang.

"Anyway, the original Nie Renwang would definitely not be as good as this young brother Li's performance. I can be sure of that... absolutely sure of that."

Xu Zhenliang is absolutely certain of this point, without needing to say "almost".

The actor we originally wanted to hire was able to portray Nie Renwang's "weakness".

The original concept was that he was just a powerful but incompetent hero...

But Li Yun's performance...

He truly possessed some of the spirit of Nie Renwang, the Northern Blade Master.

This young actor.

He brought the character of Nie Renwang to life...

Looking at the excessively young face before him, so different from that of a seasoned veteran like Nie Renwang, he couldn't reconcile the two characters, one on screen and one off screen, and then sighed.

"I'll give you a letter of introduction; the movie 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' next door is also in pre-production..."

Xu Zhenliang pondered for a moment.

He gave Li Yun a letter of recommendation.

Li Yun paused for a moment, then said.

"Thank you, Director Xu!"

"Um...."
