This movie star is absolutely wicked!

Chapter 17, Did our crew strike gold this time?

He practices martial arts and cultivates himself in seclusion every day.

Day after day, year after year, I have never cared about worldly affairs.

But I have a question.

Master, why do I practice martial arts and chant scriptures to cultivate my character?

I do not enter the world of martial arts, nor do I concern myself with worldly affairs.

How can I possibly use all my skills?

The master said.

The world down the mountain is different from the world up the mountain, but if you insist on entering the martial world, then go and see for yourself, and deliver a letter to the great hero Ke Zhen'e.

I am very happy to be able to go down the mountain, use my martial arts skills, see the wonderful world, and leave this Zhongnan Mountain, which is far away from the world.

The Taoist priest descended the mountain.

Full of joy, thinking he would see the vast world, he never expected that when he descended the mountain, he would find chaos and turmoil.

Jurchen looting and the court's corruption

As soon as I left the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I saw some people who had become bandits and were robbing others. I thought that I had finally descended the mountain to see the evil spirits and could draw my three-foot-long sword to defeat the bandits.

I asked,

Why did they become outlaws?

The bandit said, "If I cultivate the land, the imperial court will take a share, the government will take a share, the Jurchens will take a share, the local tyrants will take a share, and even Zhongnan Mountain will take a share..."

What will my fifty-year-old mother and I eat?

What do three-year-old children eat?

Yeah, what to eat...?

The bandit died, and I stood there with my blood-stained sword. The people I had saved did not cheer, because they did not know when they would be forced to become bandits like this bandit, and eventually be killed by a chivalrous hero.

They don't know anything; all they know is that they are living numbly in the present moment.

And I simply watched this scene unfold before my eyes.

Continuing on to the Mongolian grasslands, I saw countless scenes like this along the way.

master.

We practice martial arts, we cultivate the Tao, we purify our hearts—but how can we purify our hearts and cultivate the Tao in this world?

In this chaotic world.

We who wield the sword.

...

"Host has consumed 13 points of positive energy."

"Generate character simulation cards."

"On Zhongnan Mountain, three generations of disciples, future high-ranking masters."

"Zhen Zhibing (Requires Acting Skills Lv3-1)"

Three minus one?

Li Yun remembered that at the beginning, it required a level 3 acting skill.

Now I'm imitating this character, sketching his profile.

Not only has the demand for acting skills decreased, but the amount of positive energy consumed has also decreased.

Li Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

This system is getting better and better at manipulating things.

The better you understand the character, the lower your expectations will be, and the better the generated effect will be.

I gradually came to understand everything.

...

At this moment, filming officially began, and Zhen Zhibing appeared in front of the camera.

He carries a letter from Zhongnan Mountain to Ke Zhen'e, and this is also where Zhen Zhibing and Guo Jing fight, marking his first appearance in the scene.

At this moment, Zhang Jizhong and Wang Rui were looking at the handsome Taoist priest who appeared in the camera lens.

His eyes are bright.

Bright and piercing eyes.

The look in his eyes alone was enough to catch one's eye.

So handsome! Although the appearance is not quite the same, the face is very similar to John Lone's. Coupled with the clean and tidy blue and white Taoist robe, the feather hairpin and long crown, he is handsome and has an ethereal air.

Stunning.

According to the original plot, this was intended to be the case.

Guo Jing and Yang Kang should be considered arch-enemies.

There is a stronger correspondence between them.

Aside from initially putting Guo Jing under a bit of pressure, Zhen Zhibing basically became a stepping stone for Guo Jing later on.

Even the current script of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still influenced by "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and the portrayal of Zhen Zhibing is more like a villain who has achieved success and a young man who is arrogant.

At this moment, he appeared on stage with nothing but integrity, exuding an air of dignified composure, his eyes as bright as the moon—where was the air of someone who would become a stepping stone?

This aura is even more excessive than that of Prince Yang Kang.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the male lead!

"I feel like something's not right."

At this point, director Wang Rui felt that something was amiss.

But Hong Kong director Ju Jueliang, on the other side, said with shining eyes, "Is this an actor from your mainland? Although he looks ordinary, his temperament is really good."

"Is this appearance really just average?"

"That's a saying within TVB. When someone is described as ordinary, it's probably a compliment." Martial arts director Zhao Jian added, "When this actor playing Zhen Zhibing came out, I would have thought he was some young hero from a martial arts novel. He's so... dashing."

At this moment, he looked at Yang Kang and Guo Jing with a strange expression.

Yang Kang, needless to say, has a sinister look on his face.

Guo Jing's simple-mindedness might be due to Li Yapeng, but it just came naturally to him, showing that the actor really captured the essence of the character.

He and Zhen Zhibing have something in common here.

Neither of these two looks like they're acting...

.....

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a young swordsman, he leaves Zhongnan Mountain to deliver a message to the grasslands.

The young men met and clashed with fists and swords.

"I'll test your skills."

At this moment, Li Yun smoothly drew his sword, the longsword humming and making a crisp sound when flicked.

Zhang Jizhong and Wang Rui were not too surprised by this. They had chosen him as Zhen Zhibing precisely because of his good martial arts skills. In martial arts dramas, actors who can do action scenes are given priority.

This means that directors can use more frontal shots and long takes during filming, instead of short shots or quick cuts.

That was the biggest advantage they were able to identify when filming began.

At this moment, martial arts instructor Zhao Jian said, "Although I don't know exactly what his kung fu is like, it looks really cool right now."

Did they play well? I don't know.

But just by looking at his movements, you can tell he'll definitely make it look really cool.

At this time, it was also the time when Guo Jing went up to rehearse and film the scene with Linghu Chong from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. He also worked hard to learn kung fu.

This is also why Zhang Jizhong still likes this kid; he knows his shortcomings but doesn't deny them, instead he tries to learn from them.

He can make Zhou Xun like him.

It's not just because of its large size!

at this time.

Relying on the skills he had diligently accumulated in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he fought Li Yun to a standstill, battling for a full round before being blasted down by Li Yun's swift sword!

"It is truly disappointing that someone named Jingkang could be so incompetent in martial arts."

At this moment, Li Yapeng looked at the sword that had been knocked away in front of him and was a little doubtful about life. This scene was captured on camera and filmed in one take.

His expression was very genuine.

He perfectly matched Guo Jing's expression, with that bewildered look on his face.

Because of Guo Jing in the play.

In just a few moves, he was defeated by this little Taoist priest from the Central Plains. The disciple whom the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had painstakingly taught was such a disappointment!

"Have we struck gold?"

At this moment, Wang Rui could tell from the expression on the face of Zhao Jian, the martial arts instructor beside him.

This extra, introduced from the TV series "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," is a gem.

This was the second time that martial arts instructor Zhao Jian had shown such a shocked expression.

The first time was in the cameo role of Mei Chaofeng played by Yang Liping, the peacock dance master.

And this time it happened to him!

...

Positive energy +5.

Positive energy +5.

...

However, it was also because of this opportunity.

That's how Guo Jing learned internal martial arts.

That's what truly set him on the path to becoming a great hero.

That's what the director originally thought.

Originally, it was neither Wang Rui nor Ju Jue Liang.

Even Li Yapeng, the actor who played Guo Jing, felt the same way.

That's what I originally thought.

originally.
