Huayu 1995

Why didn't they worship Lü Bu when the filming started in Chapter 319?

Why didn't they worship Lü Bu when the filming started in Chapter 319?
"This is the third time, it happened the day before yesterday..."

The monk looked at the photos with a calm and unwavering expression.

"Old Tian, that's not the point. The point is, how did you end up there!"

Su Chao slammed his hand on the table.

Although the composition is slightly flawed, anyone can tell from the shooting angle that the photographer was right there at the scene of the battle.

Unfortunately, neither side in the fierce battle noticed that anyone was inside.

It was like a scene from a horror movie.

Damn, Su Chao didn't know whether to sympathize with Director Huang or admire the monk's boldness.

"Buddha, what if you had been discovered back then?"

The fake Taoist priest was puzzled.

Why haven't you been caught, you bald monk?!
Anyone can become ruthless, once you've experienced what jealousy is.

"I was wearing a hat and covering my face at the time, in case I was discovered..."

The monk made a chopping motion.

Just knock them out.

The monk was confident he could take down a good-for-nothing and a female college student, both of whom were not even dressed, within ten seconds.

Where are you hiding?

Su Chao was also confident that he could take down the adulterous couple in a short time.

"Under the bed."

The monk said very calmly.

"..."

Su Chao and the fake Taoist priest exchanged a glance, both of them having no choice but to agree.

They could almost imagine the bald man hiding under the bed, quietly crawling out when the woman started screaming, and then taking pictures of her with his camera.

After taking the photos to his satisfaction, he quietly slipped back under the bed.

How much money did you give the hotel staff?

The fake Taoist priest humbly sought instruction.

Arranging people to specific rooms is something only those who have bribed the hotel staff can do.

"one hundred!"

The monk looked at Su Chao earnestly.

"I'll reimburse you," Su Chao stuffed the photos back into the brown paper bag, then asked, "Besides you, only Zhao Xiaoding knows about this, right?"

"Yes, I'll learn how to develop photos too, so I won't have to bother him. I've discovered that I've fallen in love with photography; this is Buddha's guidance for me."

The monk looked devout.

"Alright, Teacher Tian... Good luck."

Su Chao felt he was committing a sin.

"How should the photos be processed? Should they be sent to school leaders and the Education Bureau?"

The fake Taoist priest asked about what happened next.

“No need for now, let’s wait a bit longer,” Su Chao paused and explained, “This one can be dealt with at any time, but if someone without weaknesses comes up, it will be more troublesome to handle them.”

Often, good people are more terrifying than bad people.

Filming for "Love Will Carry On" began just a few days later.

This TV series had a budget of three million yuan, which wasn't a big production, but its collaboration with CCTV made it stand out from the crowd.

The directing team consists of Su Chao, Huo Jianqi, Li Lu, and Zhang Yongxin.

Once the cast was finalized, Su Chao was appointed as the chief director, while the other three became executive directors instead of the previously agreed assistant directors.

The executive director is specifically responsible for filming.

Normally, film crews are divided into two groups, A and B, and some are even divided into three groups.

The renowned director is responsible for filming the key plot points.

Supporting roles and transitional scenes are all handled by the executive director of Team B.

The title of assistant director sounds prestigious, but their job isn't actually to make films.

The assistant director handles everything from selecting extras and directing to coordinating lighting, managing manpower, and communicating with actors—he's not responsible for filming.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was doing odd jobs.

Zhang Yibai declined the invitation because the title offered was too low.

However, he later regretted it.

After I heard that "Love Will Win" had secured a deal with CCTV, they called to ask if the production team was still short of people.

An assistant director would be fine too!

Unfortunately, there was no place for him in the production team.

It's a waste of Huo Jianqi's talents to have him as an art director. Whether it's to increase his salary or to make the most of his abilities, he should also be given the title of executive director.

Li Lu was recruited by Huo Jianqi.

Su Chao knows this person. "In the Name of the People" and "The World" are his representative works. He will be very successful in the future.

Even now, he's not a nobody.

He graduated from the Directing Department of Jilin Academy of Arts in 89 and then worked in the Arts and Literature Department of Jiangsu Provincial Television.

In 93, he directed the television musical series "Lone Star," based on the experiences of singer Zhang Mi, marking his first foray into the film and television industry.

They have experience directing television dramas.

Faced with the same dilemma of state-owned enterprise reform and the possibility of being laid off, many people are thinking about finding another way out besides their original jobs.

Therefore, Li Lu actively sought opportunities.

Huo Jianqi asked him if he would take on a TV series that only had 20 episodes and could be filmed within two months, offering him 10,000 yuan.

Two months for 10,000 yuan, only a fool wouldn't come!

Furthermore, Yuanmeng Company promised to arrange further television drama projects, and if they confirm sufficient capabilities, they would directly take charge of directing them independently. This promise is incredibly grandiose.

Is there really a script?

Today was the first time Li Lu had met Su Chao, the chief director, and he didn't really believe it.

Li Lu, who is exactly thirty years old this year, is actually a little unconvinced that a nineteen-year-old boy who has never been a director before dares to take the title of chief director.

However, he is different from Zhang Yibai.

Even if he's unhappy, he won't turn down money—ten thousand yuan is a truly considerable income.

He was only paid three thousand yuan for the TV series he filmed in 93.

Almost all of it has been lost.

"Ask Old Huo... I've already given him a script."

Su Chao has no way to prove it.

He couldn't possibly buy out "In the Name of the People" directly; Li Lu doesn't have the skill to make it now.

There are still twenty years between now and the filming of "In the Name of the People".

Moreover, this TV series is a product of its time; outside of a specific period, it wouldn't even have a chance to be seen.

Su Chao is not an option either.

He was nineteen years old, had no relevant family background, and it's too fantastical for him to write such a script.

"He...the director gave you the script?"

Li Lu asked Huo Jianqi in surprise.

Old Huo, that's not fair of you. You didn't tell me when we were talking about this the other day.

Huo Jianqi obviously knew what he was talking about, and could only explain dryly, "I didn't believe it before either. It was only given to me in the middle of the month, and I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

What kind of script?

Li Lu glanced at Huo Jianqi, then at Su Chao.

He felt he needed to change his mindset; he couldn't just focus on that ten thousand yuan.

We should have higher aspirations.

"One..." Huo Jianqi, as if holding a naked beauty in his arms, smiled lewdly: "A perfect script, I give it twelve points!"

"A percentage system?"

Li Lu couldn't believe it.

I'm afraid my brothers aren't doing well, but I'm also afraid they're doing better than me.

"roll!"

Huo Jianqi was furious.

He believes that "Postmen in the Mountains" is the best screenplay in the world.

"Stop arguing. We need to shoot a few scenes today, and then we need to assign shooting tasks. My suggestion is to split into groups A and B. Huo and I will be in one group, and Li and Zhang Yongxin will be in the other."

Su Chao began assigning tasks.

As the chief director, he can't just sit idly by.

"Principal, shall we pray to the gods?"

When Lü Bu saw that the purchasing department had prepared incense burners, he ran over and asked them a question.

In Hong Kong, people generally worship gods. It happens occasionally in mainland China, but in smaller numbers. After all, it was taboo a few years ago, and many of these projects were state-owned film studios, so doing this would have been suicidal.

"What gods do you worship?"

Su Chao himself did not have a very clear belief.

Westerners only recognize one savior, while Chinese people worship whoever is more powerful—from the God of Wealth to the God of Marriage, this kind of faith is more like a pragmatic job fair.

If it doesn't work, try another one.

If it works, then it's due to my own efforts.

"Why don't we worship Lü Bu?"

The agent adjusted his glasses, which he used to project a serious demeanor, and suddenly uttered a remark that left everyone speechless.

"you're brain damaged?"

Su Chao wanted to roll his eyes. Who would worship Lü Bu?

“Why not?” Lü Fengxian argued vehemently, “Take the gang beating of Lü Bu for example. Those who ganged up on him didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, and Lü Bu himself didn’t think there was anything wrong with it either. When Lü Bu was ganged up on by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, he didn’t curse that three people could defeat a small force; he just lamented that he had been harmed by wine and women…”

"That sounds reasonable."

The fake Taoist priest nodded.

"Right? Guan Yu needed to team up with Zhang Fei and Liu Bei to fight Lü Bu..."

Lu Bu felt that if he could persuade everyone to worship him, then his position as the principal's number one henchman would be secure.

"Get lost, you three sex slaves!"

Su Chao was speechless. You actually want me to worship Lü Bu?

Your nickname is Lü Bu, what do you mean by asking me to worship Lü Bu? Are you trying to usurp the throne?

"me……"

Lu Bu got stuck.

"Three... what?"

The fake Taoist priest couldn't believe his ears.

Dude, why are you offering this kind of service?
