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

the other side.

After the official announcement of "Infernal Affairs 2" was released.

Liu Qiangwei even made a phone call to Li Yun.

I explained it to myself.

"Xiao Li, it's not that I don't want to use you, it's just that Emperor Entertainment is pushing him in and giving him a lot of resources... some conditions that I and my crew can't refuse."

Liu Qiangwei was very frank.

The Emperor really gave them too much.

Humans are driven by self-interest.

At least that's how it is for Liu Qiangwei...

Given sufficient consideration of the interests involved, temporarily replacing the protagonist's position is not out of the question.

It's about making a movie, after all.

Acting skills are not the only factor that determines the success of a film.

There are other factors that can determine the success or failure of a film.

"I understand... Thank you, Director Liu." Li Yun paused before expressing his gratitude.

Given Liu Qiangwei's position, he didn't need to explain anything to Li Yun.

Providing an explanation shows respect for Li Yun.

At this moment, Liu Qiangwei said.

"I should be thanking you for creating such a great first impression of this character."

of course.

That's where respect ends.

The next Liu Jianming no longer belongs to Li Yun.

It belongs to Chen Guanxi.

After a brief explanation, Liu Qiangwei hung up the phone and threw himself into the preparations for Infernal Affairs 2.

Li Yun's life was simple: eat well, sleep well, and eat well. He was conserving his energy for filming Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Only Jiang Chenggang was worried about the outcome.

However, Jiang Chenggang recovered after a while.

think carefully.

This wave of casting changes has nothing to do with Li Yun, who is an actor.

If I absolutely have to say something...

As Li Yun's backing agency, its power isn't as overwhelming as Emperor Entertainment Group's, is it?

It must have the strength of the King's Empire.

There will be more opportunities for resource exchange...

Does that mean the actor needs to be replaced?

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang also murmured.

"I need to try harder too..."

...

at this time.

In Hong Kong.

Big-Nosed Cheng Shilong is discussing the script for his new film with director Chen Musheng.

It's still in the initial planning stage, and it doesn't seem like it will be implemented anytime soon.

The discussion revolves around the recent hit film "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong.

Cheng Shilong said.

"This young man looks quite good, there's a sinister glint in his eyes... a kind of... innate sinister glint."

"Hahaha, you're saying he's a born villain?"

"Hey, I didn't say that." Cheng Shilong smiled and said, "I just think he played this role very well... a bit... yes, a bit like Wu Yanzu."

Daniel Wu is also one of the most handsome men in Asia, possessing a touch of melancholy and a hint of the wicked...

A naturally handsome villain.

Cheng Shilong and Chen Musheng had long had their eyes on this handsome man.

Chen Guanxi... could also be considered as an alternative, but Chen Guanxi is more gloomy and his evil nature is not as good as Wu Yanzu's.

Now....

Add another candidate.

Li Yun, an actor from mainland China...

When will the Police Story series be rebooted...?

"Soon..."

The two were discussing a reboot of the Police Story series...

.....

At this time, Li Yun was preparing to join the cast of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Without realizing it.

It was Murong Fu's time...

At this moment, Li Yun also packed his things, preparing to report to Hengcheng.

of course.

Hengcheng was not the first stop.

The most distinctive feature of the Zhang Zizhi version of Jin Yong's dramas is its extravagance, but this extravagance is not directed at the actors, but rather at the filming locations.

They travel all over the country, and they build film and television cities.

"A publicly funded trip, traveling all over the country, is quite nice..."

At this moment, the still elegant and ambitious Murong Gongzi stood beside Li Yun.

Li Yun also exuded a certain charm at this moment.

Debonair, dashing, and ambitious.

I just arrived at the set of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils in Hengcheng. Reporting from there.

Li Yun also saw Hu Jun, Gao Hu, and Lin Zhiying.

The three main characters are also quite charismatic.

Lin Zhiying, with his ageless baby face, plays Duan Yu.

There is a powerful man in the northwest, Hu Jun.

Honest but dishonest, Gao Hu.

The three of them are the absolute protagonists, and these three absolute protagonists have already conducted a script reading here.

When Li Yun arrived here.

Zhou Liang also greeted him.

"Hey, isn't this our Lau Kin-ming?"

Zhou Liang also watched Infernal Affairs.

After all, anyone who follows the entertainment industry would be unaware of the phenomenal success of Infernal Affairs in the film market.

He is a character who appears at the very beginning.

Li Yun was still quite conspicuous.

However, the minor buzz surrounding "Infernal Affairs" was more of a topic of conversation for the crew of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." One was a period drama, and the other was a modern police thriller; the two were worlds apart.

"Director Zhou," Li Yun said with a smile, "I want to be a good person, how about giving me a chance?"

"Go ask the judge if they'll give you a chance, hahaha."

Zhou Liang only joked for a moment.

Getting back to the main point, the director was coordinating the scenes of the main characters. Murong Fu's scenes in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils were much more important than Song Qingshu's scenes in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Zhou Liang was in charge of filming all of Murong Fu's scenes.

After explaining some points to note, he handed the script to Li Yun.

They gave Li Yun the script for a group reading.

He was holding Murong Fu from Yanziwu.

I officially received his script.

The role he will play in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

To become...a person.

When I stepped into the set of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

Li Yun was about to become Murong Fu.

When facing Murong Fu beside him.

Li Yun, however, rarely felt that sense of confusion; many of his emotions were shared and empathetic.

It seems I can quite understand Murong Fu, a man who will stop at nothing to achieve success.

He kept failing, kept failing, kept failing... but he didn't give up and persevered until the very last moment.

Maybe.

All living beings.

That's probably the case for most of them.

...

...

At this moment, Li Yun had just received the script.

Most people didn't pay much attention to Li Yun's arrival; he was just Murong Fu. Most of the story focused on the three main characters.

Or rather, it's embodied in Qiao Feng.

This was decided upon by Zhang Dahuzi and director Zhou Liang, and Jin Yong strongly supported it.

In my version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the focus is on Qiao Feng, while Duan Yu and Xu Zhu will receive slightly less screen time than Qiao Feng.

This means that the structure of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils has changed from three main characters to one super-powerful and two strong characters: one main character, two second male leads, and the rest as supporting characters.

Zhang Da Hu Zi was clever; instead of adopting the TVB version's "spread the love evenly" approach, he established a specific anchor point.

An absolute protagonist.

After all this was done, the reading of Zhang Dahuzi's version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils officially began.

Feeling undisturbed, Li Yun was sitting and engrossed in reading his script.

Yanziwu, Murong Fu...

Another person who was supposed to be reading along with Li Yun also joined in.

"Hello, nice to meet you... well, I guess you could say it's our first time."

Her voice was delicate and light, with a touch of liveliness and a hint of curiosity.

Her beautiful face, with its wide, bright eyes, exuded a fragrant aroma as one approached.

That unique flavor of a young girl's youth.

Actually, Li Yun smiled as he spoke to the girl in front of him.

"Hello... I am Murong Fu."

"I am Wang Yuyan."
