“Come on, Mr. Chen, take your time and show us what you’ve got.”
Wang Jing urged him from his chair.
The few people around him stared intently at Chen Feng.
Mainly because Hua Zai had hyped him up too much.
Acting that returns to its original simplicity?
It’s like a Sweeper Monk; no matter if you use Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or Star Shifting, in front of him, he just rolls up his sleeve, and you fall flat.
That’s what’s called returning to original simplicity.
Hua Zai meant that Chen Feng had no acting skills.
He didn’t need acting skills.
There were no traces of performance.
All his actions were natural.
Just like his true self.
Yet, every character he played was extremely vivid and had a huge contrast, which was simply not the essence a single person could possess.
Therefore, Hua Zai came to a conclusion.
Returning to original simplicity.
Wang Jing certainly didn't believe it.
He had been renowned in Hong Kong and the mainland for so many years, and he had collaborated with countless amazing actors.
He had worked with Best Actor-level actors like Hua Zai, Gu Zai, and Xing Zai countless times, and he had truly never seen any acting that returned to its original simplicity.
Acting like everything is real?
That’s too absurd.
Even Xing Zai wouldn’t dare to brag like that.
Now, let’s see how Chen Feng would portray Zhou Chaoxian, the almost perfect triad boss, in a way that returns to original simplicity.
...
Chen Feng entered the state.
His expression changed, and his eyes changed too.
Including his body language.
The system’s ability to bestow characters on him was to implant all of the character’s experiences into his mind.
Not only would his habits change, but even his state of mind and memories would change.
To be precise, you become the character himself.
Therefore, when playing a cancer patient, Chen Feng could feel life slipping away.
It was easy to really die if he wasn’t careful.
Now?
With the character of a triad boss possessing him, his mindset also became sinister, and he even had the impulse and desire to kill at any time.
His eyes were filled with killing intent and malice.
Chen Feng had no doubt that if anyone dared to defy him now, he would absolutely pick up a weapon and shoot that person.
Without any hesitation.
The four people behind him stared closely at him.
Chen Feng stood in front, with his back to the four people, then slowly turned around, casting a sinister glance at the four, and said faintly in a steady but sinister tone: “I’ve finished speaking. Who agrees, who opposes?”
After speaking, his gaze landed on Wang Jing.
That look, calm yet containing violence and perversion, made Wang Jing shiver all over.
Oh my goodness.
A bit scary.
Hua Zai blurted out: “Good.”
Gu Zai and Xu Xianglin on the other side were also stunned.
Is this kid’s gaze real?
At this moment, Wang Jing felt a chill down his neck from Chen Feng’s gaze, and he quickly waved his hand, laughing awkwardly: “Good, good, this state is indeed good, that’s enough.”
Chen Feng instantly returned to his normal state.
A light smile flashed across his face: “Wang Director, is it acceptable?”
“It’s acceptable, it’s acceptable.”
Wang Jing nodded repeatedly, smiling: “This gaze and state are very good, really good. But to say it’s returning to original simplicity, there’s still some distance.”
While speaking, he was secretly shocked in his heart.
This gaze was absolutely spot on.
Wang Jing and the others knew best what Hong Kong was like thirty or forty years ago.
In that era, dragons and snakes mixed.
People were cut down and killed on the streets at every turn, and gangs fought.
They had actually seen what cruel and bloody triad bosses looked like.
They had basically encountered those perverted bosses who killed without blinking an eye, and even took pleasure in torturing and killing.
This is also why Hong Kong produced so many triad films.
Perverted bosses like Liang Kun, who would bury entire families alive at the drop of a hat, were all too common.
They had even dealt with them.
Because in that era, the entertainment industry was controlled by gangs.
Therefore, Wang Jing deeply empathized.
Chen Feng’s single glance transported him back to the dark years of his teens.
His palms were sweating from fear.
However, he couldn’t lose face verbally.
It was too difficult for Wang Jing to admit that someone’s acting had reached the realm of returning to original simplicity.
At least you had to surpass Xing Zai.
Although the gaze just now was indeed very scary, it had the suspicion of being a true-to-life performance, but according to normal logical judgment, if Chen Feng was that good, wouldn’t he have been famous a long time ago?
Why would he still be an extra now?
He certainly couldn’t grasp all roles.
Wang Jing began to rack his brains.
Hua Zai, on the other hand, smiled with great satisfaction: “How about it? I didn’t lie to you, did I? With that demeanor just now, if it were on camera, I believe he wouldn’t lose to Hui Zai.”
“Then wouldn’t he directly win Best Actor?”
Gu Zai joked with a smile, then casually added: “Mr. Chen, can I also give you a topic, and you try to perform it?”
Chen Feng heard it and was happy to oblige.
Come on!
The more, the better.
He was just worried about not having the opportunity to experience characters.
So he nodded casually: “Gu Zai Teacher, I have no problem.”
“Alright.”
Gu Zai gave him a thumbs up, then smiled: “I’ve seen the characters you’ve portrayed before, most of them are negative images. I want to give you a positive image to try. For example, a doctor.”
Chen Feng’s eyes lit up.
A doctor is good.
Just as he was about to nod, Gu Zai suddenly added: “But not a Western doctor, I hope you play the role of a Chinese Medicine Practitioner.”
Chen Feng: “...”
【Ding, detected the target character ‘Chinese Medicine Practitioner’ that the host is about to portray. Congratulations to the host for becoming a Chinese Medicine Practitioner truly skilled in the art of healing.】
【Congratulations to the host for acquiring the ‘Gui Men Thirteen Needles’ skill, lost for a thousand years.】
【Congratulations to the host for acquiring the “Classic of Internal Medicine”, lost for a thousand years.
【Note: The “Classic of Internal Medicine” is recorded in the ‘Golden Seal Jade Letter’ and is one of the five arts: Mountain, Medicine, Destiny, Physiognomy, and Divination.】
Oh my!
Chen Feng was instantly overjoyed again.
Unexpected!
Truly unexpected!
So experiencing the feeling of being a Chinese Medicine Practitioner is so cool, and he can even obtain such ancient lost skills?
Perhaps Gu Zai wanted to give him a challenge.
After all, portraying a doctor, it’s definitely more convenient for a Western doctor.
Put on a white coat and say a few lines.
Basically, it won’t fall apart.
But a Chinese Medicine Practitioner?
This is not easy to play.
In modern dramas, there are almost no movies depicting Chinese Medicine Practitioners.
Especially when Chinese Medicine Practitioners are mentioned, many people’s first impression is that of an old swindler.
It’s rare to see a truly skilled Old Chinese Medicine Practitioner now.
Therefore, this kind of role is not easy to experience.
Gu Zai felt his suggestion was very good, and the difficulty would definitely be great.
Wang Jing also smiled.
He nodded repeatedly: “I think the role of a Chinese Medicine Practitioner is good, Mr. Chen, do you have the confidence to portray this relatively positive role?”
Hua Zai and Xu Xianglin also stared at him.
They were all waiting for his answer.
Chen Feng remained calm and composed, smiling slightly: “Gu Zai Teacher, Wang Director, I have no problem. I can try to interpret it.”
“Young people are indeed bold. Alright then, you go ahead.”
Wang Director nodded and waved his hand, signaling.
To let Chen Feng begin.
Chen Feng didn’t stand on ceremony either, he looked around, casually pulled a small table from the side, and placed a chair next to it.
Then he picked up a towel, rolled it up, and placed it on the table.
To facilitate taking the pulse.
Subsequently, Chen Feng sat down calmly and steadily.
As he sat down, he had already entered the role of a Chinese Medicine Practitioner.
His gaze swept across the faces of the four people, finally stopping on Wang Jing’s face, and he suddenly smiled: “Wang Director, can you cooperate?”
