I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 209, Let this general be the spokesperson for our Terracotta Army!
The story continues, and the Qin Kingdom storyline is about to wrap up.

General Meng ultimately died on the path of loyalty to the emperor, tricked and killed by the infamous treacherous minister Zhao Gao. Although the process did not conform to history, the overall ending was in line with the historical tone.

It can be considered that there was no fictionalization or nonsense.

Even Qin Shi Huang failed to achieve immortality. Princess Yu Shu and Nangong Yan, who were testing the medicine, died immediately after taking it. Qin Shi Huang did not take the medicine either, thus missing out on his dream of immortality. Little did he know that the effect of this divine medicine was to put someone in a life-or-death situation before they could live.

The dream of immortality was shattered; the one who most desired to live died, but the one who desired to die lives on forever.

Princess Yu Shu, who originally intended to die with Meng Yi, was left behind in this lonely world.

General Meng was waiting for her to come and take her away once again.

Just like last time.

As always, he would come to her side in the end.

Unfortunately, her general could not come this time, or rather, the one who came here was no longer her general.

Filming for the ancient scenes has wrapped up.

All that's left is for Cheng Shilong to go back and film the movie himself.

Shao Bing was still somewhat dazed at this moment.

Looking at Li Xuan, who was completely out of character the moment, he began to question his own existence. What kind of monster was this junior brother of his?

"You're clearly an immersive person, how did you manage to break character so quickly?"

Even the Qin soldiers who had been immersed in the role with Li Xuan hadn't finished their exit from the role, but Li Xuan jumped out first without the slightest hesitation or doubt. His speed in exiting the role was just too fast.

"As an immersive character, if I can't quickly detach myself from the role, my mental state won't be very good." Li Xuan chuckled and smiled with his eyes narrowed, but in reality, Meng Yi's part was still beside him.

Of course, you can't say this to Shao Bing, otherwise he'll really think he's crazy.

My mental state is perfectly normal!

"How should I put it, it was a really strange feeling to work with you. I've never had this feeling before."

Besides getting out of character and into character.

Swift, fast, without the slightest warning.

Acting with Li Xuan is a wonderfully exhilarating experience, not only because of his acting skills, but also because of his ability to draw people into the role.

That was something Shao Bing had never experienced before.

It just suddenly occurred to me.

This is the talent that Li Xuan possesses.

It wasn't just his talent as an actor that made Shao Bing feel that Li Xuan, if he were a director, would definitely not be weak either.

He seems to possess it all.

His talent as a director.

He's not just a fierce general; he could also be a commander, a marshal.

Meng Yi.

A loyal minister of the Qin Empire and a confidant of Qin Shi Huang, he died on his journey to find the elixir of immortality for him.

There is no such thing as immortality; it is merely an illusion of a dying emperor.

He was standing next to Li Xuan at this moment.

That's General Meng.

At this time, he still had a large hole in his chest, indicating that he did not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of Zhao Gao.

The two had a long-standing feud. When Zhao Gao committed a crime, Meng Yize demanded severe punishment, as he was a staunch supporter of Legalism and wanted the law to be strictly enforced.

However, he was eventually spared punishment thanks to the First Emperor's favor, and at that time he harbored resentment towards Meng Yi.

The Qin state governed by law.

The last loyal minister died because of lax enforcement of the law, and the instigator of this was none other than the First Emperor, whom he regarded as a god and was loyal to.

That's a bit of a disaster for this kid.

The concubine who loved him could only express her feelings within the bounds of propriety.

She fell in love with the emperor, but it all began with the emperor's trust in his treacherous ministers.

Li Xuan felt complete sympathy for General Meng.

"You've been through my life and can understand my pain, yet you still laugh at me without restraint."

"Because I know I'm not you, and you're not me. This is a manifestation of my strong mental power! Hehe."

"Yeah."

At this moment, Meng Yi stood beside him with his head down.

His expression was unclear, but his final expression and his last gaze were fixed on Princess Yushu.

Li Xuan originally thought that General Meng Yi's last concern was still for this valiant old Qin, but it turned out that his gaze was actually directed at the most beautiful woman on the peninsula.

Or perhaps, Princess Yushu in a foreign land.

The longing in his eyes.

In the end, it was reserved for the woman.

It wasn't shaped by the script, but rather it was his instinctive reaction.

I used it my whole life.

It was dedicated to the Qin Empire.

Only in the last second after death.

Only then did I reflect on the love of my life.

This must be General Meng.

Princess Yu Shu also remained completely immersive in the role.

The most beautiful woman on the peninsula.

At this moment, she was still thinking about her General Meng Yi. Jin Shanxi didn't know that it was Princess Yushu's admiration and feelings for her general, or something else.

It's still that feeling.

In short, that feeling made me very immersed in my performance, to the point that I almost forgot myself.

I don't know if I stepped into the role of the princess, or if the princess sensed my feelings.

I don't know.

Kim Sun-hee simply looked at Lee Hyun, a boy much younger than her, and felt a strange sensation in her heart.

Looking at Li Xuan standing alone, I don't know if he is Meng Yi or someone else.

I can't quite tell the difference.

I felt like crying because I really couldn't break out of character.

I don't know if it's me crying or the princess crying.

His figure was in Li Xuan, who took him to visit the Terracotta Army, and in General Meng, who shared hardships with him and saved him from dire straits. His figure was in the ever-changing world.

In Kim Sun-hee's eyes, things are changing.

Which one am I reluctant to part with?

Before filming wraps up, I want to say goodbye to everyone, whether it's Tang Jili or Cheng Shilong, I need to say goodbye properly.

"Cheng Shilong is right, you really are a prodigy."

At this moment, Tang Jili clicked his tongue. In his original plan, Li Xuan should have been immersed in the role of General Meng Yi for a while.

Filming is inherently a double burden, both physically and mentally.

As a result, Li Xuan didn't seem to be under any mental pressure at all. On the contrary, he was all smiles and looked very relaxed and happy.

Sadness, pain, depression, decluttering.

These are the emotions that should have arisen.

However, this did not occur in Li Xuan; there was absolutely no such sign. His ability to control his emotions was truly extraordinary.

Many things that ordinary people take for granted.

It had absolutely no effect on Li Xuan.

Common sense about kung fu doesn't apply to Cheng Shilong.

As for the common sense regarding actors' acting skills, Tang Jili felt it had no effect. This guy's appearance seemed to be created to break common sense.

All sorts of operations are defying common sense.

It's fair to say that filming "The Myth" left a very deep impression on me in many ways.
This young man named Li Xuan is always breaking the rules of common sense, breaking the rules of common sense step by step with incredible feats.

This made Tang Jili a little curious about what kind of person he would become in the future.
Weiwei was slightly curious about his future.

What it will become.

After saying goodbye to the main creators, Li Xuan didn't expect there was one guy who was also reluctant to part with him—Blacklight, the horse who had always worked with him.

It was just as reluctant to part with itself, and kept rubbing its head against hers.

"I'm also very reluctant to part with you, but we've only met by chance. I can't afford to support you, nor can I support you. I can only hope to see you again next time we work together. After all, you're a veteran actor, and I'll be playing military roles in the future, so we'll still have a chance to meet, and the chance is quite high."

At this moment, Li Xuan rubbed his head against the black light.

It is a fine horse, and its strength gives it an unparalleled advantage in battlefield scenes. It also has the imposing presence of an ancient warhorse.

Especially when acting with myself, it feels like a dream of returning to the camp with bugles and the sound of battle cries. As a warhorse, it's as if I've awakened.

Perhaps it simply wanted to live as a warhorse.

That's how you meet yourself, right?

[Simulation completed by: Meng Yi]
[Heroic Charm: Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, and women more or less have a heroic complex. Your temperament is the embodiment of this complex. It is different from masculine energy, and it can make the opposite sex feel an unparalleled sense of security (the effect is halved for the same sex, or even has the opposite effect). It can be freely turned on and off.]
[Horse Riding: The horse that works alongside you will recognize you as its master. A good horse deserves a good saddle, and a good general deserves a good horse. When you act with Blacklight, it will also transform into a real warhorse.]
Looking at the skills I've acquired.

Li Xuan was also having a good time.

This skill is really good.

The charisma of a hero does indeed fit the image of General Meng Yi.
There's also the matter of riding warhorses. Although I'm very reluctant to part with Blacklight, there's nothing I can do. As a poor guy, raising horses is still too far out of reach.

However, the equestrian coach also told Li Xuan that he would keep the horse until the time when Li Xuan could buy it, and he believed that Li Xuan would definitely have the ability to do so in the future.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

"It doesn't matter. I watched Blacklight grow up. It has always been very fierce since it was a puppy. If it weren't for its strong physique and majestic appearance, it wouldn't be very suitable as a horse for filming."

At this moment, the equestrian instructor stroked Hei Guang's chin and said, "But I know that he has a galloping soul, a soul that never stops flowing, its restlessness... perhaps he was born in the wrong era, it should be on the battlefield."

Even if following you is just experiencing a fake battlefield.

That's some consolation for it.

After packing up, Li Xuan prepared to leave Xi'an, feeling a little tired before departing.

After all, it's a non-stop filming schedule, and most people couldn't handle that intensity. It's only thanks to the system giving me a huge boost that my body was able to adapt to filming.

This is undeniable; among all actors in the world, only I possess this advantage.

Nothing much to do today, so I'll just use a cheat code.

However, given his current physical condition, compared to before, if he were to film back-to-back like this, with such a large number of action scenes and horseback riding scenes, he would probably have died on the spot long ago.

Li Xuan became increasingly grateful that the system was contributing to his health.

Thank you, Hakitong.

"Hey System, when's the next time you'll give me a health attribute boost? I can't wait."

[When you receive a milestone medal for your professional achievements, this system will provide a health boost.]
"So you mean I can only do it when I win an award?"

Li Xuan thought about it for a moment and realized that winning the award wasn't actually that far off.

Let's see where this bullet will fly.

The World's Number One, The Legend of Sword and Fairy, The Legend of the White Snake.

Could these three works possibly win an award or two?

Frankly speaking, given the intensity of filming with so many action and dramatic scenes, it requires a lot of physical conditioning and health support, and it's still a continuous work schedule.

"I wonder how the broadcasts of 'The World's Number One' and 'The Legend of the White Snake' are going."

Li Xuan thought for a moment and figured that during this time, "The World's Number One" should have reached its finale, and "The Legend of the White Snake" should also be broadcast soon.

The bullet is flying.

Meanwhile, the crew was also planning to change locations, moving from the filming location in Xi'an to India. In India, Liang Jiahui remained silent and started having diarrhea again.

I've told you not to eat random things.

Liang Jiahui: I didn't say that! I didn't!
I swear I really didn't eat anything indiscriminately this time.

I even washed my hands repeatedly after eating packaged food.

Where did you take a shower?
Ganges River.

Wow, the case is solved!

You dare to wash in the Ganges?

As a result, the filming process in India will be delayed for a few more days.

"Liang Jiahui is old and frail, and suffers from many illnesses."

At this moment, Cheng Shilong clicked his tongue and said, "Unlike Xiao Li, he can't compare to him at all in terms of physique."

"You don't even look at their age difference."

Tang Jili was speechless.

However, one thing is true.

"He's in great shape. This is the first time I've seen someone filming non-stop without rest. He's still young after all."

“Even when filming action scenes and horseback riding scenes, he can work non-stop. When I was young, I would need to rest for two days after filming such an intense scene, but he didn’t need to rest at all. Tsk tsk, his physical fitness is amazing.”

At this moment, Chengshilong must have felt somewhat emotional.

This Li Xuan was even more impressive than he had imagined. Just then, a phone call came in. It was from the local Culture and Tourism Bureau. The bigwig named Jiang Heng was very interested in Li Xuan, saying that it was a pity that such a handsome man wasn't chosen as a promotional ambassador for the Terracotta Warriors.

Oh, the sacred bodies of the Terracotta Warriors in the heavens!
Tang Jili and Cheng Shilong had no objection to this, but they still needed to discuss it with his agency.

I have no objection to using the image from "Myth".

Back in Beiping.

My uncle said...

What did you film in Xi'an?
They filmed "The Myth," so what else can they film?

Li Xuan wondered why his uncle had asked such a question.

As a result, my uncle directly said that this time, the Xi'an Culture and Tourism Bureau contacted us, saying they wanted us to be their spokesperson.

What will he endorse?
Terracotta Warriors.

Li Xuan was silent.

6.

This works too.

"The price they offered was actually just so-so, but it's an endorsement for Xi'an's cultural tourism industry." At this moment, Wei Ming clicked his tongue, finding it somewhat unbelievable: "I never expected that your first endorsement would be for the Terracotta Warriors."

As for whether or not to accept the offer, Li Xuan and Wei Ming were of the same opinion.

There is no reason not to answer.

This is an official site, this is a local one.

This endorsement is absolutely safe, with no risk of any mishaps. Although the price isn't high, there's no reason to refuse.

The only drawback is that even if it requires Li Wenjun's approval, there are various procedures to go through, from filming endorsements to application, and the whole process is almost the same as the release cycle of Myth.

This official efficiency is truly something to behold.
It doesn't matter.

As for the endorsement fee, it's 70,000 yuan, plus lifetime free admission to the Terracotta Warriors Scenic Area, and family members can also get free admission.

After the contract template was faxed over, Wei Ming discussed a few key points with the other party. This time, he finally put what he had learned into practice.

It's not that the Xi'an Culture and Tourism Bureau has bad intentions, but it's better to be more careful with signed contracts.

No bugs allowed!

Even if you are a government official, you can't leave loopholes in the contract.

After completing the Xi'an cultural tourism contract, Li Xuan was able to rest at home for a while, and then he had "Dragon City Years" to film next.

As for the TV series, as expected, no resources came their way. Everyone was watching and waiting. Apart from Chun Sheng, the role that the principal had secured, no one else approached them.

The old circle of Mango TV is putting its "praise to death" strategy into action.

The prestige of the old Manchu circle continues to rise; as expected of descendants of the old nobles, their prestige is exceptionally high.

reputation.

It's also very important within the industry.

Unless you have absolute power and purity to suppress it.

Now is the time to demonstrate its true value.

At that very moment, Li Xuan turned on the television at home.

The program happened to be showing the scene of Cao Zhengchun's death.

Li Xuan smiled.

"Actually, Uncle, is it possible that the other party tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead?"

"Young Imperial Envoy" had very high viewership ratings, and as a work in which Zhang Mo broke away from the influence of "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth", it was undoubtedly a great success.

"The popularity of works from my Great Qing Dynasty is higher than that of works from the Ming Dynasty. The viewership rating of 'The World's Number One' only averaged a little over four points, while my 'Young Imperial Envoy' had an eleven-point viewership rating."

Zhang Mo is actually very proud.

总归
I finally felt relieved.

The name Li Xuan was ultimately just a passerby in my life.

Even now, Zhang Mo feels that he has a broader perspective. All the effort he put into targeting him before was just child's play.

No one even needs to lift a finger; just a little praise is enough to crush him by labeling him as unworthy of his position.

And what satisfies him the most is actually...

This time, everyone is competing on a level playing field.

There's nothing to say about winning or losing.

The ratings for "The World's Number One" are not as high as those for "Young Imperial Envoy".

He had the advantage of favorable timing, location, and people.

"Master Zhang, brilliant!"

At this moment, the lackey next to Zhang Mo changed from Wen Zhang to another person.

What was its name again?

It doesn't matter, there aren't many people whose names I, Zhang Mo, need to remember.

Now, let's appreciate this arrogant young man who's like oil being poured on a hot flame.

How did they fall into the abyss?

"As expected, Duan Tianya is a good-for-nothing."

At that moment, Li Yapeng was at home, concealing his blogging identity, and left a message on Sina Blog.

Damn it, why didn't I feel anything while acting?

While he was acting, I didn't think he was that useless, but now it turns out he's a complete piece of trash.

Aside from killing his father-in-law's family, he has accomplished nothing; he has given up on this battle for the lead role.

Gui Haiyidao and Cheng Shifei are far more popular; they seem to be the male leads.

So far, all the resources invested have been wasted.
It can only be said that this was a high-stakes gamble from the start. In an ensemble drama with multiple main characters, who can guarantee that they will be number one?

It can only be said that this time, the Beijing entertainment circle lost out, and the hype went to someone else.

Feeling miserable and depressed.

However, it falls within the category of victory and defeat being common occurrences in warfare.

"What are your expectations for the future?" Ma Jia looked at Li Yapeng, who seemed a little conflicted. "You should be focusing on your next projects and making your mark in them."

You are no longer the male lead.

The male lead role has been taken by Cheng Shifei and Gui Haiyidao. Actually, it's not your fault. Although your acting skills aren't great, Gui Haiyidao isn't much better; he's at the standard idol level.

In fact, this incident has made Li Yapeng a laughing stock in the industry. He completely lost out, and even had to see a urologist for back pain. It's sad that he ended up benefiting someone else. It's almost laughable.

That was incredibly frustrating.

Even screenwriters have their pitfalls.

How come the main character is so incompetent?

Actually, Li Yapeng was injured during filming, and some scenes were indeed not filmed. But in most people's opinion, the lead actor was not very good, and the scriptwriter's portrayal was also problematic. It was a case of both personal acting skills and the scriptwriter's neglect.

At this moment, Li Yapeng stared at the television and said...

"You seem to have forgotten someone. Who said the winners must be those two from the Taiwanese and Hong Kong circles?"

"Who else?"

"Didn't I give you a spoiler? The Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi will become the villain."

"How can you become the male lead if you become the villain?"

Ma Jia had to admit one thing: this young man named Li Xuan was truly outstanding.

Good is good, there's no need to beat around the bush.

He was indeed arrogant.

It's undeniable that he managed to escalate the conflict with the Beijing entertainment circle to this point, even forcing veteran artists to allocate resources to restrict him.

His growth rate is truly terrifying.

If I put him under my command, he would definitely be more valuable than Ya Peng. He's even more handsome than the men I'd have to accompany.

Well, Li Yapeng does have his own advantages, though.
But let's get back to the story of this number one place in the world.

Regarding the villain, the screenwriter's skill is actually quite excellent, exceptionally so. The villain Cao Zhengchun is a well-rounded character, a contradictory figure as a loyal minister.

He was indeed loyal to the emperor.

He did indeed execute loyal ministers who disagreed with him during the reign of Emperor Zhu, and he devoted himself to the imperial family until his death. As for what became of the Ming Dynasty, what did that have to do with him?

The appeal of this character lies in his loyalty to the emperor but not to the country.

That's the charm of this character.

But despite his charisma, he is also a villain, and is inherently less righteous than the protagonist.

No matter how villainous they are, they are still villains, and protagonists are still protagonists; that's undeniable.

The protagonist possesses inherent legitimacy.

So why is everyone vying for the lead role?

Everyone wants to claim a legitimate and justifiable cause.

Everyone wants to be the male lead.

While the character of Iron-Blooded Marquis is certainly charismatic, he's not quite at the level to rival the protagonist.

That was Ma Jia's original thought.

But as the story continues...

She started to understand, and she seemed to realize why Li Yapeng had that "let's all not be the male lead" expression.

She seemed to know why.

When I saw Iron-Blooded Marquis rebel.

This was exactly what she expected, after all, her spoiler wasn't just for show. And from beginning to end, Zhu Wushi gave off a kind of righteous evil vibe, making people feel that this guy was righteous and awe-inspiring like a ruthless hero!

Sometimes, a character who is too righteous and awe-inspiring can make people wonder if he is a villain. Zhu Wushi is such a character.

But when she saw Zhu Wushi, who had turned traitor, a mysterious and wonderful feeling lingered in her heart.

He is the villain.

He wanted to be emperor.

What an old-fashioned reason and logic.

I wonder how many villains have this motive.

Such a cliché motivation and reasoning.

However, when this ambitious man stood in front of the imperial study, his emotions rose and fell with the character's ups and downs.

His mood changed.

He was a bad person; he even killed Shangguan Haitang.

That's your goddaughter!

This is an absolute tyrant.

A ruthless and domineering tyrant who will stop at nothing.

This character has clearly garnered enough hatred, so when it's time for the protagonist to carry out justice, it seems impossible to hate him.

He clearly did so many bad things, clearly wronged so many people, and clearly eliminated Cao Zhengchun only to eliminate his political enemies, so that the emperor would no longer have Cao Zhengchun as a tool to check and balance his uncle.

Zhu Wushi couldn't wait to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors and ordered the suppression of the rebellion.

He is clearly a villain, and very despicable.

Yes.

Cao Zhengchun was indeed a tool used to check and balance Zhu Wushi.

Does that mean there's a problem?

The emperor knew.

Cao Zhengchun was a treacherous official. This loyal eunuch was a complete villain. Was it all the emperor's doing, harming loyal officials?

Once this idea came to mind, I suddenly felt that Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, was not so hard to accept in his rebellion and treason.

He is a ruthless hero, a member of the royal family, and a villain in the eyes of the main characters. However, he is also a strongman who protects and balances the martial arts world among the common people, keeping all the powerful figures of the martial arts world under his control.

This Zhu Wushi was acting as a righteous person.

He's really going mad.

When he is the villain.

He seems to be acting strangely too.
At this moment, Wang Jinsong, who had been following the drama all along, found it unbelievable.

After Zhu Wushi defected, it seems that no one really disliked him. Even though he killed Shangguan Haitang and infuriated many people, making people want to hate him, you either like him or hate him.

His ambition was to protect loyal ministers for the Ming Dynasty.

His ambition was also to control the underworld figures.

But we judge by actions, not intentions.

He became emperor.

Is it not good?
Upon seeing this, Wang Jinsong had an idea that came to mind.

Zhu ignored it.

You have to win!!!

They seized the emperor's throne!
