Chapter 643: Replicating the character: War God of the Chinese Military District, Zhang Taofang

~6 min read 1,121 words

"Damn! Lin Yu actually understands firearms? I remember he's a variety show personality. Doesn't he usually just float between variety shows? I didn't expect him to be a military enthusiast."

"Awesome! Being able to identify the model of this sniper rifle at a glance means he must be very fond of firearms. And looking at the way he pulled the bolt, it's very seasoned. He must have been to a shooting club. He's got something!"

"I don't know why, but I feel like Lin Yu is actually quite suitable for this role. At the very least, he's stronger than the average little fresh meat."

"Please, this is the year's grand finale production, with a magnificent and vast lineup. What's the use of just being a little better than a little fresh meat? I still don't think much of Lin Yu. After all, he hasn't worked in the film industry. What's the use of just being a military enthusiast? Just because you like cooking doesn't mean you can become a master chef."

"If Lin Yu succeeds in the audition, that's unfair to those of us from drama schools!"

"......."

It wasn't just the extras on set who thought this; even Ou Hao and Yi Yangqianxi had the same thoughts.

They secretly muttered in their hearts: Lin Yu just knows a bit about firearms. But when it comes to real combat and facing the camera, he'll definitely have problems with the details. That's unavoidable.

Ou Hao and Yi Yangqianxi had previous acting experience, but they had specifically trained for this film for as long as half a year.

In the military, the two of them could be considered qualified new recruits.

"Hmm, fine, I'll give it to you, kid, you got it right."

Lin Feng and the two veterans were a bit surprised. They didn't expect Lin Yu to actually state the key points of the firearm. It seems this kid had done his homework beforehand!

Forcing him out really wouldn't be easy.

"Lin Yu, becoming an actor, especially facing the big screen in a theater, micro-expressions on the face are extremely important."

"You've seen the prototype for this character, right?"

Facing Lin Feng's question, Lin Yu nodded slowly.

When he first saw this role.

Lin Yu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

It wasn't because he could act in *The Battle at Lake Changjin*, but because the prototype for this character, the Seventh Company's sharpshooter Ping He, was our country's military War God—Zhang Taofang!

He was a legendary figure who could be written into history books.

CCTV had even made a documentary specifically for him.

The introduction was only a simple sentence, yet it made one not dare to underestimate him.

Zhang Taofang: One of the world's top ten snipers! To date, the most recognized strongest sniper in Chinese military history.

Especially in the military, Zhang Taofang was almost defined as a god-like figure.

In this campaign, this legendary sniper hero killed 214 enemies with 442 bullets, creating the highest record for the Volunteer Army's cold-gun kills.

The character Ping He was based on this, and it was one of the indispensable highlights of this film.

"Do you understand the eyes? A sniper's focus can be seen through their eyes."

"Although it might look ordinary, when they strike, it carries killing intent—the decisiveness of a one-shot kill."

The two veterans behind Lin Feng stepped forward to add.

But in their hearts, they were extremely disapproving of Lin Yu.

Zhang Taofang's name in the military district was almost world-renowned, shaking the heavens and earth.

Letting such a 20-year-old kid, a traffic star, play him—isn't that ruining Old Zhang's image in the military district?

Especially these artists in the entertainment industry, living every day in the flattery of fans, their lives also decadent and luxurious!

How would they know how difficult it was for the Volunteer Army on the battlefield back then, how hard every step was, and how much suffering they endured?

Beliefs were branded on their hearts.

And Lin Yu's bright and beautiful appearance, his incredibly handsome face, a high-and-mighty big star—it would be a miracle if he could empathize!

Around the open space.

The extras were gathering more and more.

Even Hu Jun and Duan Yihong, who didn't have scenes, came over to eat melons and watch the fun.

This was because Wu Jing and Li Chen had scenes to shoot; otherwise, they would definitely have come to see if Lin Yu's process was going smoothly.

"How is it? Did this kid get hit by Brother Feng's show of force?"

Hu Jun and Duan Yihong walked toward Ou Hao and Yi Yangqianxi with smiles.

Although Lin Feng wasn't famous to the outside world, he was a notoriously perverted action director in the circle. Many people had suffered and endured pain under his hands.

"Lin Yu's performance so far is not bad. He dodged the show of force, but after all, different trades are like mountains apart. I'm afraid he won't be able to pass the character image creation stage."

After hearing Ou Hao say this,

Hu Jun and Duan Yihong's eyes were filled with memories. Although neither of them were action stars.

But their debut films were all related to action.

Hu Jun was a tough guy on screen.

Duan Yihong also started to get on the right track through dramas like *Soldiers Sortie* and *My Chief and My Regiment*.

Only those who have walked the path know how difficult it is to train from a blank slate into an all-around actor.

"No way, looking at Old Xu's meaning, I guess he doesn't want Lin Yu to stay in the cast."

"That's inevitable. This film has an investment of hundreds of millions."

"Top-tier luxurious lineup configuration."

"It cannot tolerate a single grain of sand."

Hu Jun and Duan Yihong said very firmly.

Although they had no malice or aversion toward Lin Yu.

But as veteran powerhouse actors, they simply didn't believe Lin Yu could pass Lin Feng's test.

His first film, and the start is a magnificent epic war masterpiece—isn't Lin Yu afraid of taking too big a step and tearing his crotch!?

This simply wasn't something a novice who had just started could do.

"Damn, what is this doing?"

Following Yi Yangqianxi's exclamation,

Several people looked toward the center of the control area.

They saw Lin Yu take the costume (Volunteer Army thin cotton coat) sent by the crew's staff, and without a word, he threw himself into the snowy trench, rolling around.

After this tossing, one couldn't recognize that the dirty-faced, disheveled young man was Lin Yu.
