Wang Zhenqiu is very mobile. As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and started searching.
"Actors who have played Nezha... Cao Jun, Luo Yongjuan, Chen Haomin, Wu Lei, Wang Baoqiang... Oh, this is too eye-catching, and Song Zuer!"
After he found these names, he began to search for their reviews on the Internet one by one, and finally selected two people.
One is Luo Yongjuan, who has the best reviews online, and the other is Song Zuer, who was just broadcast last year and is now famous.
"Without further ado!"
Wang Zhenqiu stood up and said, "Let's go!"
The whereabouts of actors are relatively easy to trace.
After some searching, they discovered that Luo Yongjuan was participating in a singing competition in the northwest, while Song Zuer was still in middle school in the imperial capital.
"What do you mean, where to go first?"
Chi Yao asked calmly.
"The Imperial Capital..."
Wang Zhenqiu said nonchalantly while playing with his blond hair.
This trip to the imperial capital can be described as uneventful.
Although Song Zuer was considered a child star after the TV series "Lotus Lantern" was aired, this did not prevent Wang Zhenqiu from easily gaining the power of faith that came from her exceptionally expressive role as Little Nezha.
"How about it? Can it be done?"
Chi Yao, who was watching the whole process, asked.
"Tsk...how to say..."
The expression on Wang Zhenqiu's face was a little complicated, "These powers of faith are very frivolous, but the number is large enough. If they are not harvested and preserved by me in time, they should gradually disappear with the passage of time. Unlike those of famous Peking Opera actors, The power of faith will gather more and more.”
"Just tell me which way is better."
Chi Yao spread his hands.
"Of course it's still like this!"
Wang Zhenqiu is very real. After all, the power of faith he just received is too much...
"Isn't that okay? Speaking of which, I have always had a problem..."
Chi Yao pointed to the colorful gloves in Wang Zhenqiu's hand, "This is the prop you use to store the power of faith, right? Why gloves? If you want to preserve things, generally speaking, they should be made into the shape of a container, right?"
"You said this,"
Wang Zhenqiu blinked and made two gestures on his face, "Because this is not only a prop we use to store the power of faith, but also a tool for applying makeup. If it is made into the shape of bottles and jars, how can it be done? Don’t we have to open it first? How troublesome!”
"Then...is this the end?"
Chi Yao pointed at Song Zuer who had already left.
They just passed each other and watched Wang Zhenqiu grab him in the air with his gloves.
"Of course not. I just took off the power of faith attached to her body, and then refined it and kept it in the gloves."
Wang Zhenqiu shook his head, and then smiled, "I didn't expect that the power of faith in her would be so easy to obtain! Old Man Xia told me that he wanted to collect the power of faith from those famous actors, just like drawing silk. It has to be peeled off little by little over time. Let's take our time with the refining work. We have to go to Chang'an first and get another copy of the faith. If we go there for a while every night, one more thing will be lost, but we can't delayed."
Then on the plane, Chi Yao also successfully saw how Wang Zhenqiu refined his faith into his gloves and preserved it.
Wang Zhenqiu was seen wearing gloves, and Qi Qi was constantly flowing out of his palms, floating towards the air.
Before the gathered energy reaches a certain concentration, ordinary people's eyes cannot see these things, so Wang Zhenqiu did it unscrupulously.
In Chi Yao's eyes, he could not see the forms of the so-called power of faith collected by Wang Zhenqiu at first. However, as Wang Zhenqiu's Qi breath was mixed in, it didn't take long for him to see wisps of colorful... Qi floats in mid-air.
This process lasted for nearly two hours. It was not until the plane was about to land that the colorful Qi balls floating in the air were finally incorporated into the gloves, and the originally plain white gloves became colorful. .
"Is this thing a magic weapon?" Chi Yao asked curiously.
"Magical weapon?"
Wang Zhenqiu frowned, "I can't explain this clearly. If it is a magic weapon, its effect is too simple. It can neither attack nor defend, and can only be used to store the power of faith. But if it is not... …Hey, there seems to be no more suitable words to describe it. Is this what you are interested in?"
"Um."
Chi Yao nodded, this was a backup measure in case he couldn't find the Gu cup in the future.
Although Wang Zhenqiu seemed unreliable, his credibility was still guaranteed. Now that he had verified that the method Chi Yao said was feasible, he directly told Chi Yao the method of extracting and refining the power of faith.
As for Xia Liuqing?
No one here cares what he thinks.
According to Wang Zhenqiu, the power of faith taken directly from the actors is not only vain, but also relatively complicated. After all, it is made up of the thoughts of all living beings.
The process of their performance can actually be seen as communicating with the sentient beings' minds. Only by meeting the eyes can the power be mobilized.
However, Chi Yao's way of using these thoughts is different. He will not make things like "Nezha Gu" or "Monkey King Gu". What he needs is a more refined and simple abstraction. concept.
Let's take the Love Gu - Cheng as an example. The most important concepts in the refined Gu material are honesty and trustworthiness.
This kind of abstract element can be found in many images, but the proportion is usually not very high. After all, human nature is very complex. So if Chi Yao wanted to refine Cheng Gu, he would either have to find an image that is the embodiment of integrity in many people's minds, or he would have to separate out the part that represents integrity from countless mixed concepts.
Only by being refined and specialized can we obtain high-quality Gu materials.
But these are all things for later. Chi Yao was in a great mood after achieving his goal. Suddenly, he heard Wang Zhenqiu next to him scream: "I thought of it!"
"What?"
"I know the best way to practice the Godhead Mask!"
"any solution?"
"I want to be an actor!"
Wang Zhenqiu said word by word.
"ha?"
“It’s so easy to extract the power of faith from actors, and there are so many of them!”
Wang Zhenqiu's eyes shone, "Although it's a bit superficial and short-lasting, as long as I refine it in time, there won't be this problem. This is just domestic, if I can play a role that impresses the whole world, then... "
"Stop dreaming, there's still the whole world! The characters you want to play are all characters from traditional Chinese mythology. Foreigners don't have that cultural foundation. No matter how huge the crowd is, will they go see it?"
Chi Yao scoffed.
Although cultural barriers are invisible and intangible, they are more difficult obstacles to break through than technical barriers and economic barriers.
The cultures of Chinese civilization and European and American civilization are fundamentally different from each other, and they respect completely different sets of principles.
Even if our myths and stories were moved to the West, it would be difficult to gain much recognition, let alone gain faith.
"Hey~ You said before that I wasn't open-minded! Are you stupid now?"
Wang Zhenqiu's tone suddenly became brighter, "Who said that Godhead Mask can only play traditional Chinese mythological characters? As long as it can be believed by people, we can play it! An old antique like Old Man Xia may not be able to play those foreign mythological characters. You have to be expressive, but I am different! I have decided to go abroad after the New Year."
