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

Chapter 25, Liu Jianming

At the wrap party that evening, Li Yun and Jiang Chenggang also went to freeload a meal.

Liu Dehua told Li Yun about this.

Are you interested in "Infernal Affairs"?

Infernal Affairs.

One of the three great films in Hong Kong back then.

The role I'm going to play.

It was when Liu Dehua was young.

The young character is named Liu Jianming.

Li Yun agreed to play the role without much hesitation.

Infernal Affairs!

A legendary film from Hong Kong back in the day.

This is definitely something I'll have to accept.

It was evening.

Jiang Chenggang looked at Li Yun and said.

"Have you really killed someone? Or did you do it without any reason?"

"Old Chiang, what you're saying..."

At the hotel where I am staying.

Jiang Chenggang stared at Li Yun in shock; he still couldn't forget the coldness in her eyes.

And madness.

And an indifference ingrained in one's bones.

For a time, Jiang Chenggang even had the illusion that Li Yun was the murderer who had been on the run for many years...

Is this really something that acting skills can convey?

Jiang Chenggang once genuinely suspected that Li Yun was truly insane...

Especially when filming.

I saw Li Yun talking to himself.

This made Jiang Chenggang even more suspicious.

This is the true nature of a murderer.

That's insane.

However, when the scene breaks down.

His expression was perfectly normal, which made Jiang Chenggang feel very conflicted.

If this is acting skills...

That would be awesome.

Jiang Chenggang never expected this.

Li Yunhui practiced acting until he could even convey it through his eyes.

One shot.

A single scene.

That way you can express the feeling of the character.

Such acting skills.

That's really awesome.

At least that's what Jiang Chenggang thinks.

This acting performance is impressive.

He had never seen it before...

"Did you go somewhere for further studies?" Jiang Chenggang said from a short distance away, regardless of how "Big Guy" fares after its broadcast.

Jiang Chenggang has already acknowledged Li Yun's expressiveness and acting skills.

I highly approve.

"And Andy Lau contacted me. He said he wants you to play a role in a movie called 'Infernal Affairs'." Jiang Chenggang said excitedly, "Regardless of the movie's quality, at least a Hong Kong superstar has recognized your acting skills... With the superstar's approval, you've got a god-like start in Hong Kong."

Recognized.

Furthermore, it was also incorporated into the selection of films to be made.

This is the first step taken in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

A very important step...

At this moment, Li Yun was thinking.

Where to pursue further studies?

That's a good question.

He's doing his advanced studies in a mental hospital.

He learned it from the thug next to him.

right.

ruffian.

at this time.

The thug next to him said calmly.

"Um... don't call me a thug anymore, I have a name too."

"Hmm? A name?" Li Yun asked in confusion. When did you get a name?

"My name is Liu Jianming."

...

Liu Jianming...

Isn't that the name of the male lead in "Infernal Affairs"?

What a coincidence?

From temperament.

From the description of appearance.

Everyone has that feeling.

at this time.

Li Yun was somewhat taken aback.

Looking at the indifferent thug in front of him.

His name is Liu Jianming.

He was originally a hoodlum.

But the big boss threw him into the police academy.

"Your name... is Liu Jianming?"

"Yes, my name is Liu Jianming." At this moment, Liu Jianming said calmly, "What, surprised?"

"Did you always say your name was Lau Kin-ming, or did you only say it was Lau Kin-ming after you heard that I was going to play the role of Lau Kin-ming?"

"No matter what you say, I am Lau Kin-ming."

"You're a thug."

"I am Liu Jianming."

Li Yun always felt that...

What is the underlying principle behind my own time-travel-related aftereffects?

These are their personalities.

It turns out to be something that appeared in my mind after watching movies and TV series.

Or do they actually exist... or are they just figments of our imagination?

at this time.

Li Yun felt this more and more.

They are flesh and blood.

Unlike a so-called personality that appears out of thin air...

Or perhaps they are real souls.

Is it real?

I was going to play the younger version of Lau Kin-ming.

That's why this scoundrel calls himself Lau Kin-ming...

at this time.

Li Yun was a little confused...

It's a bit confusing.

...

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's nothing..." Li Yun yawned.

I had trouble sleeping last night because I was thinking about this.

Actually, this is a side effect of my time travel.

Is this aftereffect due to possession by a spirit?

Or is it a personality split caused by my own perceptions...?

They will make a fuss.

They can chat.

They have their own professional knowledge, their own understanding, and the people they love...

Just like the reclusive swordsman Nie Renwang.

Bei Yin Kuang Dao, a master swordsman with formidable swordsmanship, is weary of the martial world and loves his wife Yan Ying.

He died with resentment in his heart.

His unwillingness to accept defeat.

His anger.

Li Yun was able to personally experience everything Nie Renwang felt.

correct.

Swordsman...

He also said at the end that he was Nie Renwang.

and so.

Is he Nie Renwang? Is he a personality from the TV series "Wind and Cloud" that has traveled to my mind and is disturbing me?

It was because I watched "Storm Riders" that I imagined this swordsman to resemble Nie Renwang, and he became Nie Renwang.

Do they truly exist in my mind, or are they characters I created based on the role of Nie Renwang from my previous life?

Li Yun felt that she couldn't stop her mind from wandering...

...

"Li Yun?"

Li Yun remained stunned for a long time.

Only then did he realize that Jiang Chenggang was calling him, and he came to his senses.

"What's wrong with you today? You seem so distracted." Jiang Chenggang looked at Li Yun with some suspicion.

Jiang Chenggang handled the formalities here, and then he took care of all the arrangements for the "Infernal Affairs" crew to join the team. At this point, Jiang Chenggang was practically Li Yun's personal agent.

I have this feeling that I'm handling everything from start to finish.

Jiang Chenggang took a cut, but it was very little... After all, in every sense, Li Yun earned this role through his own efforts.

In a sense, Jiang Chenggang was just a gofer.

At this moment, Li Yun was thinking about this role.

Looking at the 'thug' next to him.

The young Liu Jianming.

The undercover gangster played by Liu Dehua, in his younger days.

A reserved and cold-blooded thug...

He really didn't have much affection for either his boss Han Chen, who had been promoting him, or his colleagues in the police force.

They were all just stepping stones for him.

Liu Jianming's past

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang was still sighing to himself.
