The Human Chessboard (Third Watch)

  Please give me a guaranteed recommendation and collection on Monday, it's not easy to have a new book, I hope you can all support me more.

  The first scene is not difficult, mainly telling the story of Wu Ya Zi's dissatisfaction when he first met Xuzhu.

  Because Xuzhu looks stupid and ugly, and Wuyazi values appearance and demeanor, he naturally doesn't want to take such an ugly disciple. So after their first meeting, Wuyazi would say with some dissatisfaction: "It's a little monk, and an ugly one at that."

  Ye Su Mang was dressed in a white ancient costume, his clothes fluttering, with three feet of beautiful whiskers shining straight and black, his long hair unbound and hanging straight down, but not covering his handsome face. When the first close-up shot was given to him, Zhou Xiaowen and Zhang Jizhong both nodded in satisfaction.

  "He's a young man like a god, and when he grows up, how many little girls will be infatuated with him." Zhang Jizhong chuckled to himself.

  "Ah, indeed very photogenic." Zhou Xiaowen on the side also nodded in agreement.

  Ye Su Mang, with a demeanor of an immortal, exuded a vigorous and heroic aura due to his recent diligent martial arts practice. When Virtual Bamboo crashed in, Ye Su Mang's closed eyes slowly opened, his two sword-like eyebrows rose, and his entire being appeared sharp and imposing at that moment, giving no hint of being a half-paralyzed old man.

  "It turned out to be a little monk..." Ye Su Meng looked at Xuzhu, who was shrinking back in fear, and hummed discontentedly: "Still an ugly monk."

  Compared to Yu Zhu's shrinking back, Ye Su Meng's eyes were filled with disdain and a hint of helplessness at this moment. That cold hum seemed to be mocking, both mocking Yu Zhu and herself.

  "CUT, not bad, passed!" Zhou Xiaowen exclaimed excitedly from behind the monitor.

  Ye Su Mang's performance made him feel quite satisfied, the boy's eyes were simply too dramatic, especially that last seemingly mocking gaze, as if it contained many layers of meaning, making him almost instantly understand what was meant, it can be said that this is simply a born actor.

  When the director yelled 'cut', Ye Sumang also immediately detached himself from the play, he had just been trying to immerse himself in the role of Wu Ya Zi a little bit earlier, and during the performance, he was also constantly experiencing Wu Ya Zi's state of mind based on his own understanding. At this time, seeing the surprised or satisfied eyes of the people around him, he knew that what he did seemed to be quite successful.

  Liu Yifei, who was watching from the outside, was even more direct. She waved at Ye Sumang continuously and when she saw the boy's gaze turn towards her, she raised both thumbs up high with a proud face!

  "Ifei, I didn't expect your Sumang brother to be so good at acting."

  "It's a good thing he didn't become an actor, or else we'd have to worry about making a living, haha."

  Liu Yifei was surrounded by several actors, all of whom were the main characters in this TV series. Watching Ye Sumeng's brilliant performance on stage, they also sincerely applauded.

  With the first successful attempt, Ye Sumang was even more at ease in his subsequent performances, and due to his constant contemplation of the role in his mind, his acting also became more and more outstanding. Several scenes came down very smoothly, with almost no NG incidents occurring.

  As his opponent, actor Gao Hu was also completely brought up by Ye Sumang, and the performance became more and more realistic. A silly and naive Zhang Wuji image appeared on screen, which made director Zhou Xiaowen and Zhang Jizhong excitedly applaud and cheer. Zhang Jizhong was even more pleased to have invited Ye Sumang to make a guest appearance.

  Time flies, the sun sets in the west, and the remaining light of dusk pours into the cave, covering the entire cave with a layer of hazy and desolate golden color. Ye Su Mang has now changed to a white-haired and bearded version, and after the makeup artist's touch, there are also some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, making him look much older.

  This play is also Ye SuMang's last play. After WuYazi passed on his skills to Xuzhu, due to the exhaustion of 70 years of skill in his body, he knew that his life was over and handed over the Seven Treasures Ring to Xuzhu, asking him to eliminate the traitor Ding Chunqiu from the school.

  "Old master, why give your skills to me? I'm so clumsy... wouldn't it be a waste of your inner power?" Virtuous Chih looked at Wu Yaozi with increasing anxiety, his expression worried and self-reproachful.

  "Can't you even call me Master at this moment?" Knowing that his life was about to end, Wu Xiezi had a relaxed smile on his face as he looked at Xuzhu.

  "Master... Master..." After a few moments of internal struggle, Zhuo Yu finally spoke up.

  Looking at the tear-stained face of Xuzhu, Ye Sumang felt like Wu Yaozi who was about to reach the end of his life. Having gone through the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time, he suddenly said with a sigh: "It doesn't matter whether it's a waste or not, you've entered this cave, I'll pass on my skills to you, this is fate..."

  Ye Su Mang was deeply immersed in the scene, but Director Zhou Xiaowen on the side found it strange and wanted to shout "CUT", because this line of dialogue wasn't even in the script. Just as he was about to speak up, Zhang Jizhong had already excitedly stopped him with a look of agitation.

  "Let him continue..." The voice was slightly trembling, Zhang Jizhong's gaze fixed on Ye Sumang in the camera.

  Under the close-up lens, Wu Ya Zi's eyes were as black as ink, with a hint of melancholy at this moment, but his face was filled with a relaxed smile. He slowly opened his mouth and said in a voice that seemed to be both nostalgic and relieved: "Life is just an empty dream, youth and old age are fleeting, only the Tao is eternal, life and death are endless. Because of fate and harmony, you can leave now, Master is tired, wants to sleep, sleep..."

  Wu Ya Zi's voice was filled with a sense of lamentation about life, majestic and thought-provoking. Later, his voice gradually turned to murmurs, and those deep eyes slowly closed, until finally, his face still wore a faint smile, as if he were still alive in the mortal world.

  Xu Zhu cried, crying very sadly, tears falling down like they wouldn't stop. He looked at the old man sitting on the cushion and knocked his head three times...

  "CUT！！！” Zhou Xiaowen shouted excitedly.

  "Brother Ye, Brother Ye!?" Ye Su Mang was completely immersed in the role of Wu Yaozi at this time, sitting on the cushion, until he was shaken by Liu Yi Fei and gradually came out of his character.

  "Ah." Looking at Liu Yifei's excited face, Ye Sumang only felt a wave of fatigue wash over him. He didn't know how his performance had been, but judging from the surprised and admiring eyes around him, he figured it must have been okay.

  "Yeh Zi, you acted so well!!!" Gao Hu's forehead was completely red at this time, his assistant was helping him apply an ice pack. Just now Ye Su Mang's performance had also directly put him into the role, at that moment he only felt like he was Yu Zhan, and Ye Su Mang was that old man Wu Yao Zi, so the tears flowed genuinely, and the three loud knocks were also genuine.

  At this time, Gao Hu was deeply moved by Ye Su Mang. This state of 'integration of people and drama' is a rare encounter for actors, and almost every time they enter it, their acting skills can be greatly improved.

  Zhou Xiaowen and Zhang Jizhong were even more satisfied, if Ye Sumang didn't have limited time, their crew would really not be able to spare any important roles, Zhang Jizhong was afraid that he would directly take Ye Sumang into his own crew on the spot.

  Knowing that Ye Sumang was about to return to Beijing, Zhang Jizhong specially held a farewell dinner for Ye Sumang that night. Almost all the actors and staff of the crew participated, led by Zhang Jizhong, Ye Sumang once again expanded his connections in the entertainment circle.

  On August 5th, Ye Sumang returned to Kyoto. The crew of "Tian Xia Wu Zei" had basically assembled, and the film that Ye Sumang had poured his heart into was about to head to Labrang Temple.
