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

sharp.

firm.

These are emotions that seem very positive.

At this moment.

It appeared right before their eyes in Li Yun, who represented Murong Fu...

Let Yu Jian and Zhou Liang be included.

Some surprises.

this....

Unlike others.

Murong Fu...

The air of nobility is gone.

But with an added touch of determination.

Young master.

That's his identity.

It is Murong Fu of Yanziwu.

They are descendants of the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty.

He was handsome and dashing, with an extraordinary background and temperament.

That's just his outward appearance.

Elegant and refined.

But no one ever did.

His sharp gaze and unwavering determination were evident...

"Sweeping across the eight wastelands, pacifying the six directions, befriending the martial world and heroes of the Jianghu, all for the restoration of my Great Yan Dynasty." At this moment, Li Yun murmured, "My name is Murong Fu... Fu as in restoration of the country."

Murong Fu, a man who dreams of restoring his kingdom.

A man who strives for the rejuvenation of his country.

.....

Actually, this is an audition.

The main purpose is to showcase the actor's understanding of the character.

Feelings and impressions about the character.

The impressions that Xiuqing presents are that of his noble air, as well as his dejection and loss of emotional control when he encounters failure.

As a foil.

but.

Li Yun before my eyes.

What is shown.

It seems that Murong Fu is not the villain.

Rather, it is someone with unparalleled drive and initiative.

Moreover, Murong Fu put his ideas into action.

at this time.

Li Yun demonstrated his martial arts skills.

The sword moves like a swimming dragon, the knife's technique encompasses heaven and earth.

Although Murong Fu neither uses a sword nor a knife, but rather fist and palm techniques, he also has a unique ultimate move that uses the opponent's own methods against them.

However, the demonstration of martial arts also showcases the skill level required for the movements.

The difference between having a foundation and not having one is quite significant.

After another round of twirling, the sword and saber were used.

Li Yun's audition is over.

After bowing slightly.

He turned and left.

"My performance is over, teachers..."

Never looking back.

When Li Yun left.

Zhou Liang and Yu Jian.

They fell into a deep eye contact.

They looked at each other.

silence.

besides....

tangled.

hesitate.

Just a moment ago, I was praising Xiuqing's Murong Fu.

I think Xiuqing is the only choice.

There is no one more suitable than Xiuqing.

but...

Is it really?

at this time.

After a moment of silence, Yu Jian spoke.

"If it were me, I would choose Xiuqing... He is more suitable for the role of a noble young master, and his acting skills are guaranteed, especially for this kind of role."

Even if you think what Li Yun showed...

determination.

will.

Murong Fu with his sharp eyes.

Murong Fu, a man whose only ambition was to restore his kingdom.

But with arrows.

I would still prefer Xiuqing's Murong Fu.

Xiuqing's Murong Fu.

It is undoubtedly safer.

More mainstream.

He is more like the Murong Fu in people's minds.

And it overlaps with the roles they envision...

This kind of role.

This is undoubtedly the safest option.

Even so.

Yu Jian also felt that way.

Li Yun's move.

It really is quite eye-catching.

But this world.

How can there be true objectivity?

As far as he is concerned.

It's definitely a choice I prefer, as I'd rather have insurance.

A choice of image that is accepted by the public.

In this regard.

Zhou Liang remained noncommittal.

There is no complete acceptance of the arrow's claim.

"Hmm...you make a good point. Xiuqing's appearance and temperament, as well as what she presents and displays, all seem to fit our thoughts better." After a moment of silence, Zhou Liang thought of the Murong Fu that Li Yun presented and displayed, the one with an insatiable dream of restoring his kingdom, and said, "This is an image I have never seen before."

"If I were to give Xiuqing a score of 85, it would be..."

"Then I would give Li Yun a score of 95."

"Do you prefer his more surprising image?" Yu Jian understood Zhou Liang's choice at this moment, after all, the two of them each had their own advantages and disadvantages.

If it weren't for Xiuqing.

Yu Jian also felt that Li Yun was perfectly suited for the role of Murong Fu.

Undeniably, the completely new image brings a fresh viewing experience.

Li Yun's advantages are obvious.

"A more positive image of Murong Fu, a completely new face."

"But Murong Fu is ultimately... a villain."

His position is similar to that of Song Qingshu.

In *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*, Song Qingshu was the one who laid the foundation for Zhang Wuji; in *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, Murong Fu was the one who laid the foundation for the three brothers.

A comprehensive backdrop and stepping stone.

He's not qualified to be a major villain.

He and his three brothers didn't have any major, real-world conflicts, so there wasn't any major explosive event.

There are different ways to portray supporting characters.

"Actually, we can put that aside for now, let's not talk about acting skills or suitability." Zhou Liang paused for a moment and then said, "Let's talk about our costs. Li Yun's salary for this role is 7000 yuan, but Xiuqing's will be around 3 yuan."

"Actually, the difference isn't that big, only a few times."

"Are you even speaking human language?"

Hahahaha.

In fact, what Yu Jian said makes sense.

It looks quite different.

However, compared to the size of the lead actor's fee, this difference is quite small.

"And this Li Yun knows kung fu." At this moment, Zhou Liang expressed his opinion.

Yes, Li Yun knows kung fu.

To Zhou Liang and Yu Jian, the swordsmanship and knife skills were dazzling and impressive.

In short, it's amazing.

That's pretty impressive.

"you mean..."

"First of all, he has a solid foundation in martial arts, which we've seen. He's at least a level three athlete. With that kind of martial arts skill, he can have more action scenes in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, which would save us money on stunt doubles, right?"

"It seems so."

"His lack of acting experience is overshadowed by these amazing action scenes, and his lower salary compared to Xiu Qing is another advantage, right?"

"That seems to be true."

"If our risk is to create a completely new Murong Fu, I don't know if the audience can accept it, then our reward is probably also a completely new Murong Fu, a Murong Fu with a strong foundation in martial arts."

"Besides, it's not all risk; it could also be a pleasant surprise."

Hearing Zhou Liang's words, Yu Jian's heart wavered a little.

Faced with the choice between a potential surprise and an 85-point score, Zhou Liang chose the surprise, while Yu Jian had originally wanted to opt for the more conservative approach...

but.

After listening to Zhou Liang explain the advantages.

seem.

It seems to be this Li Yun.

He's not bad either...

Quite good.

When the main characters are already the most reliable factors...

Add to that an element that's not so reliable.

But there might be a surprising element included.

It seems pretty good.....

Zhou Liang rubbed his hands together again and said.

"Even if he performs poorly, he still has a cost-effective choice. Looking at it this way, no matter what, it won't affect the performance of Qiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Duan Yu, nor will it affect our true core protagonists... So, even if our choice has some risks, it won't affect the overall situation, right?"

"Then...it's him?"

"Let's choose him..."
