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

Chapter 332, Gongjin finally wins once.

Chapter 332, Gongjin finally wins!
unwilling.

But that feeling was really comfortable.

When acting opposite Li Xuan, Huang Xiaoming felt that the 'Zhou Yu' he was talking to became clearer.

One could sense his thoughts and intentions; he was loyal to the ruler of Jiangdong.
It's ambition.

It also signifies loyalty and righteousness.

It's about homesickness.

"Jianzi Ce and Xingyu were born in the same year and were uniquely friendly with each other."

A close friend who grew up with you at the same age, the appreciation of that friend, the military power granted to you—these things, these acts of kindness and recognition, are especially precious in times of chaos.

The Sun family is the foundation of Jiangdong. I, Zhou Yu, must not fail my lord in order to maintain the stability of my hometown.

Even after Sun Ce died, during Sun Quan's era, the young lord still trusted me.

He inherited Sun Ce's ideals: the stability of his hometown and the hegemony of Jiangdong.

Since Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang born as well?

In works from all eras, this is always a kind of jealousy among wise men.

Originally, Huang Xiaoming had planned to incorporate his own feelings of jealousy into the equation, as it was his instinctive understanding and feeling.

I do indeed feel jealous of Li Xuan, which is understandable, given the long-standing entanglement between us.

The scene they acted together here.

Whether it was the "borrowing arrows with straw boats" strategy or the "burning the allied camps with the east wind" strategy, after filming these scenes, I believed in the characters' feelings—the hostility towards Kongming was even stronger, but definitely not.

This feeling of disgust comes from Huang Xiaoming himself, who frantically joins in this feeling.

This jealousy, this anguish.

When Yang Guo was defeated by Chu Liuxiang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

When all of this fails.

"Zhuge Liang possesses the ability to seize the power of heaven and earth, and his skills are beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts. If we keep this man, he will surely become a great enemy of Jiangdong in the future!"

Zhou Yu used every means at his disposal, both inside and outside the game, employing all his schemes against this Mr. Kongming whom he so 'disliked'.

But in the end, all these schemes were exhausted.
Compared to Zhou Yu's exasperation.

Zhuge Liang's portrayal was incredibly skillful and adept.

Li Yun could sense that Kongming's control of the situation was exactly as expected.

Every development in the current situation of the Three Kingdoms is within his expectations.

That feeling of having everything under control.

Kongming was wise.

Li Xuan's acting skills.

Completely natural, completely suppressing Zhou Gongjin.

The scene at Red Cliff was originally intended to be a highlight for both Gongjin and Kongming.

Borrowing arrows with straw boats, linking them with iron chains.

That was also the only time they joined forces.

Here they are friends who appreciate each other.

However, afterwards...

These two friends, who can understand each other's thoughts, will eventually part ways due to differences in their stances.

"Two tigers cannot share one mountain," Hu Jun said with a double entendre.

Filming during this period.

It gave him a feeling of having his worldview refreshed.

As an actor.

These two young people.

When they're acting together.

He actually delivered a performance worthy of a TV King award.

It looks like two young TV Kings are putting on a show.

They were pulling at each other.

"Although there are two tigers on one mountain, there is one truly fierce tiger."

Chen Jianbo was somewhat shocked at this moment.

Li Xuan is that real tiger.

Her emotional expression is always just right, and as the guide of emotions, she leads Huang Xiaoming all the way in this play.

As the master of his emotions, he always handled them with ease.

When the identities of the dominant figures are revealed.

So who is the tiger in this rhythm?

It's already obvious.

Li Xuan had been leading Huang Xiaoming the whole time.

Whether it's the battles on screen or the acting off screen...
As the long river murmured, the duel between the two reached its final moment.

How could you possibly play my Long River Chant?

At this moment, Zhou Yu looked weakly at Kongming in front of him.

Huang Xiaoming also looked at Li Xuan in the same way.

Their eyes met.

At this moment, Kongming said calmly.

"This is the final masterpiece of Liang's dialogue with Gongjin."

"How can it not be heartbreaking to see a great hero's lofty ambitions go unfulfilled?"

This is a one-man show, a swan song.

Next is Huang Xiaoming's last scene, Zhou Gongjin, in Xiao Qiao's arms at the very end.

He uttered the famous line that has been passed down through the ages: "Since Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang born?"

That feeling of jealousy, sorrow, and sighs.

Whether it was Gao Xinxin, Chen Jianbo, or Liu Hewei, almost everyone felt that Huang Xiaoming would definitely be able to perform very well in this scene.

Because 'Zhou Yu and Kongming' couldn't be a more fitting relationship for Li Xuan and Huang Xiaoming.

For them, it's an absolutely corresponding relationship.

Huang Xiaoming, from being chased to chasing, from success to failure, all of this is within his perception.

Now, they've come to the 'front lines' for a dramatic confrontation.

But the result was that Kongming kept Zhou Yu completely outmaneuvered, just like Huang Xiaoming was always being led by Li Xuan. That feeling, that flavor, couldn't be more real.

That's the 'taste'.

That sense of defeat and desolation, infused with jealousy, resentment, and the actor's personal feelings.

It's almost certain that he'll perform quite well in this scene. He just needs to get into character.

This was also the only time, in Gao Xinxin's opinion, that Huang Xiaoming was able to catch up with Li Xuan during this round of acting.

Use your own jealousy and resentment to project your own feelings onto the situation.

In a sense, it was actually quite fitting that he played Zhou Yu and Li Xuan played Kongming.
This "Hidden Dragon," who once lurked in Hengdian, has gradually risen to the forefront of the battle, entering the world of top-tier historical dramas based on the strongest IPs and top-notch productions.

As a director—as Kongming.

And then there's the acting, which even surprised and astonished me.

A hero's swan song.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was lying in Xiao Qiao's arms.

All feelings, everything is intertwined in this play.

That feeling
Jealousy, hatred, everything—the kind of person you can't win against no matter what you do. Zhou Yu, you feel the same way, don't you?

Through scene after scene, Huang Xiaoming realized that his acting skills were indeed inferior to Li Xuan's. When he began to think of Li Xuan as being on par with Chen Daoming, he knew he had lost.
Words like "failure" and "losing" are discouraging and make people want to give up completely.

But is it really possible?

Can't.
Don't believe in stereotypical feelings; believe in your own feelings about the character, your feelings about Zhou Gongjin.
Yes, Gongjin, your final sorrow before death was neither jealousy nor hatred—you were not thinking of the pride of being defeated, but of your young lord, the people of Jiangdong, and the people of Eastern Wu.

Let go of that little bit of 'jealousy' that belongs to you.

This scene is actually quite simple; all you need to do is inject your own feelings, your own feelings for Li Xuan.

At this point, I clearly felt a very high level of resonance with the character; our thoughts, ideas, and everything else were in sync.

But now, after thinking it over, Huang Xiaoming has decided to abandon that feeling.

Abandon yourself as an actor.

Immersing myself completely in the role, I chose to abandon my previous approach of relying on my instincts to drive the character.

Is giving up the right thing to do?

I don't know, but at least during this period, in terms of feeling superior in acting, I am second only to Li Xuan and those two TV King-level actors. It can be said that this time it was truly a 'glorious defeat'.

The only driving force is to play this role well, to get rid of the past self with messy and impure thoughts.

At this point, if you continue to push things based on your feelings, you might be able to "secure a minimum" outcome, which would be a respectable defeat.
No.

wrong.

Gongjin's final feelings
Each has their own ambitions.

Each serves their own master.

Above the surging rivers.

Zhou Gongjin.

"If Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang also born?"

He was defeated and died in front of Kongming, which was unwilling, but the greater unwillingness was that he could not achieve his lord's great cause.

There's no way to give the people of Jiangdong a bright future.

The people I have wronged are Eastern Wu, my lord, and the people of Jiangdong.

sorry.
The drama as seen through Huang Xiaoming's eyes.

The powerful acting performance of the last of the Three Kingdoms heroes passing away in Xiao Qiao's arms.

One who truly survived and truly lived, a hero of the Three Kingdoms period.

A real one.

hero.

At this moment, Gao Xinxin and the others watched the scene quietly. There were no director's retakes or lecturing instructions; they simply let him respect and follow his own feelings to act.

This is a play that Huang Xiaoming himself approved of and directed.

The scene of Zhou Yu's defeat and death corresponds to the scene of Zhuge Liang reciting poetry over the long river.

The two are both rivals and confidants, and in this scene, Kongming's 'victory' is used as the benchmark.

Kongming won.

They won completely.

In fact, if it weren't for this play, Kongming would have won completely.

And in this scene...

However, Huang Xiaoming's acting skills exploded, even more intense and powerful, in the scene of Zhou Yu's death, where he gained and gained profound insights.

It wasn't because of jealousy of Kongming's talent—although, during Zhou Gongjin's lifetime, that feeling of jealousy was never concealed, because it was a fact.

But as he was dying, the feelings that remained were not simply jealousy or resentment. These feelings were not as simple as jealousy towards the elders of Jiangdong, the people of Eastern Wu, ideals, lord, friendship, brotherhood, love, hate, or any other emotions. As he was dying, his jealousy towards Kongming was definitely a very low priority.

The emotional priority of jealousy.

That's too low.

This is the 'principle' that Huang Xiaoming has found in his role.

In this scene.

The pinnacle of expression in the scene where he defeated Li Xuan in "Changhe Yin".

You won.

What happened to Huang Xiaoming?

"I got too into character and developed a slight fever, but overall, there's nothing seriously wrong."

"It's good that you're alright." Li Xuan nodded and said, "Acting is emotionally taxing, and this kind of thing takes a toll on your mental energy. A lot of mental stress can easily lead to a fever."

Liu Hewei's expression was complicated.

You still have the nerve to say it.

Filming a high-information drama like "New Three Kingdoms" would be extremely mentally taxing for actors of all levels, but in Liu Hewei's eyes, Li Xuan was only slightly tired.

While Li Xuan's mental and physical exertion was undoubtedly comparable, unlike Huang Xiaoming who looked like he was about to burn out, Li Xuan only felt slightly tired.

As an actor, there is only one evaluation of Li Xuan.

That's a monster.

Even someone as arrogant as Chen Jianbo, who played Cao Cao, said that he couldn't do what Li Xuan did. Every time he finished filming, he would accumulate mental stress and fatigue. It was a kind of mental exhaustion and weariness, but this kind of fatigue seemed to never appear in Li Xuan.

He didn't experience any mental fatigue; in fact, he didn't feel drained even after immersing himself in the role.

He has some mental issues—he's just too strong!

You can invest your emotions without wasting your own energy.

These kinds of freaks actually exist.
At this moment, Li Xuan, looking at the 'burnt-out' Huang Xiaoming, was thinking about the next scene.

Zhou Gongjin, this admirable wise man.

Although their positions are different
Looking at Kongming beside him, whose face always wore a calm and composed smile, the smile was gone, even though he had won decisively.

In the clash between the two wise men, he emerged victorious, gained fame, and acquired many things. His victory over Zhou Yu at the Battle of Red Cliffs made him famous throughout the Three Kingdoms period, giving him an even more 'genuine' reputation.

He is no longer Mr. Crouching Dragon, but Mr. True Dragon.

There are many things that have been 'gained'.

But this man, who was once full of vigor and had calculated everything in the Longzhong Plan, harbored lofty ideals and chose to join Liu Bei in the war against the opportune time, to fight for the great era of a benevolent ruler.

What is the cost?
The smile vanished from Mr. Kongming's face.

"I'm going to pay my respects to Zhou Yu."

"You'll die. The entire Eastern Wu hates you now. If you go there, you might die without a burial place."

"If I am truly that incompetent, then I deserve to die."

at this time.

Li Xuan began to talk to himself.

When talking to 'Kongming', the voice was very soft, like a soft soliloquy.

"So, is his mental state good or bad?"

"Bad is good, good is bad."

At this moment, Gao Xinxin and Chen Jianbo were looking at Li Xuan.

This has already brought me too many surprises.

His resilient and beautiful mental state made it hard to tell whether he was completely immersed in it or not.
