I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 395, Filming of the Three Kingdoms Begins

Wuyuan Prefecture, Jiuyuan County.

The boy was born in one of the chaotic places in this world.

As a child, Lü Bu was not interested in anything.

Eat, drink, and beautiful women.

The most primal, lowest-level desires of living beings lingered in Li Yun's mind.

At this time, the Han Dynasty was no longer the prosperous age it once was; it was a chaotic world where people craved delicious food, fine wine, and beautiful women.

That requires bravery.

The Han Dynasty, which was inherently martial.

Lü Bu knew that to fulfill his desires, he needed to be brave and martial.

Skilled in archery and horsemanship, and brave and valiant in battle.

Primal desires, a natural talent for weapons.

Along the way.

A sense of satisfaction formed in Li Yun's heart, but what followed was an even deeper desire.

More fine wines and delicacies, more beautiful women, more achievements, and more fine horses and equipment.

Primal desires swelled within him.

But when it swells, it's still a primal desire.

Ding Yuan, who was then the governor of Bingzhou, greatly admired Lü Bu.

They believed he was an absolutely excellent subordinate.

He was brave and skilled in battle, and his desires were easily satisfied; he could only indulge in merit, fine wine, delicious food, and women.

But Ding Yuan seems to have forgotten that it is precisely because Lü Bu is so simple.

Wouldn't he be tempted by other primal desires?

He will.

When facing Dong Zhuo.

Lü Bu recognized Ding Yuan as his adoptive father, yet he went and killed Ding Yuan, who had treated him so well.

The reason is also very simple.

It was because Dong Zhuo gave more.

Red Hare, a prized horse.

The finest steed in the world.

It became Ding Yuan's money to save his life.

Lu Bu also took Biden as his adoptive father.

This was Lü Bu's first rebellion driven by his own desires.

Yet he was still regarded as an adopted son by Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu's calling him his adoptive father may well have been genuine.

Human nature is complex.

At least in this respect, Li Yun felt that Lu Bu's sincerity was real.

There is also a sense of loyalty and camaraderie, like a scholar who would die for his confidant.

His feeling was then overshadowed by another feeling.

He is satisfied.

Once the desire is temporarily satisfied.

That feeling of being fully satisfied, both physically and mentally.

Feeling like you're floating on air.

This feeling arises from the willingness to use any means necessary to achieve one's desires.

Li Yun was very familiar with it.

That feeling of resorting to any means to satisfy one's desires.

That's something I also have.

The characteristics of this thing.

It was the moment his desire was fulfilled that he had no other wants.

But then, when faced with an even greater desire.

Ambition and desire will conquer all emotions.

Go and destroy what little morality he has left.

He used the halberd in his hand.

Go and build an empire.

At this moment, Li Yun murmured.

"I always felt like something was missing, but for the character of Lü Bu, it was enough."

Li Yun thought for a moment.

If Lü Bu, who came from a commoner background, had no opportunities in the chaotic world...

Will his fate be better than that of the Yellow Turban rebels?

who knows.

But now, Lü Bu is simply Lü Bu.

That one was exceptionally brave,

Lu Bu is a two-faced traitor!

At this point, it was time to begin filming "The New Three Kingdoms".

Script readings are no longer even necessary.

The game started up right away, and everyone is very familiar with the Three Kingdoms period.

Every actor present was required to read the old version of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before they came to perform.

Those who were truly dedicated, such as Liu Hewei and Chen Jianbo, even read through both "The Eastern Han Dynasty Chronicle" and "Records of the Three Kingdoms".

Read the character biographies of your own role, and read historical biographies.

In order to make this TV series well.

Everyone is prepared for the battle.

They're all sharpening their knives.

"You two, don't get so excited. One of you is selling straw sandals, and the other is my subordinate. I'm the main character here now!"

Lü Xiaohe was showing off her pregnant belly.

He laughed heartily, and for this scene, he even naturally kept his big beard.

now.

He was Dong Zhuo, who held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords.

That traitor who struck fear into the hearts of millions of heroes.

"Our moment of glory hasn't arrived yet, no rush."

At this moment, Liu Hewei spoke calmly.

Li Yun also joined the group of actors.

Among this group of middle-aged actors, Li Yun doesn't seem to stand out much.

Actually, the first phase of the storyline features a gathering of various big shots.

Lü Xiaohe, Chen Jianbo, and Liu Hewei.

These are the veteran actors who form the backbone of the industry.

In the first stage, you can fully unleash your acting skills.

After the first phase of the campaign against Dong Zhuo, the real battleground for middle-aged actors from all walks of life begins.

The actors present on set are none other than Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

Chen Jianbo, Lü Xiaohe.

There are also some veteran actors playing supporting roles.

For example, Grand Tutor Yuan.

They are also excellent actors, actors with incredible charisma.

"Aren't you going to stay and watch them perform?" Li Yun asked Sha Yi beside him.

Slightly unexpected.

"Why should I stay and watch them act? I'd rather use that time for training, to perfect my role, and show the world that I, Sha Yi, am more than just Bai Zhantang, and that I'm not just good at sitcoms but also good at serious dramas!"

At this moment, Sha Yi crossed his arms and looked very confident.

"But you, this time you'll be acting alongside quite a few big shots, so be careful. The feeling of acting with them in an ensemble piece is completely different. Just follow their rhythm, and there shouldn't be any major problems," Sha Yi carefully reminded Li Yun before leaving.

Acting opposite a veteran actor.

There's also a group of veteran actors acting together.

That feeling is absolutely different.

Not to mention these veteran actors, they are all top-notch.

Sha Yi knew that Li Yun could hold his own against veteran actors, and in some ways, even go toe-to-toe with them, and even lead the show himself.

But veteran actors have their own consensus, their own comfort zone, and their own pace.

Li Yun is definitely an outstanding young person among the younger generation.

He can lead the veteran actors and award-winning actors.

This is undoubtedly excellent.

Even a monster.

But at this very moment.

It's not that simple.

They weren't playing original characters, but there were already excellent predecessors who had set a good pace for the TV series.

"Grandpa Lu asked you to tell me, right?" Li Yun smiled slightly.

"How did you know?" Sha Yi asked, somewhat surprised.

What's even more surprising is how Li Yun addresses Lu Zhengguang.

Could it be that the rumors are all true?

It makes one's imagination run wild.

"Grandpa Lu said that I always try to set the pace myself. I have a strong ability to convey emotions in one-on-one scenes, but whether I can achieve the same effect in scenes with one or more people is another matter."

Actually, it's Li Yun.

I also found it quite interesting.

This was my first time acting alongside so many veteran actors.

If we say...

Just go with their rhythm.

It seems unlikely that any major problems will arise.

The main thing is not to try to lead their pace, as this can easily create a sense of disconnect.

But actually, Li Yun really wanted to give it a try.

If you let yourself set the pace for them.

What will happen then?

"I feel like you didn't listen to what I said, but we're all actors, so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about."

At this moment, Sha Yi paused and said.

"We don't know if we'll be able to meet again."

Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong.

He didn't have much interaction with Zhuge Liang or Lü Bu.

That's how the Three Kingdoms stories are; every era has its own heroes.

Just as Lü Bu could never have both Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun, Diao Chan could never see Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

They were separated by time.

Perhaps Sha Yi wanted to meet Li Yun, but his performance in the Three Kingdoms era was probably something he could only see in TV dramas, just like the average viewer.

Li Yun smiled as he saw his senior brother Sha off.

Sit quietly in the middle.

This time, we see the rulers of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Dong Zhuo.

At this moment, the figure next to Li Yun is the phantom of Lü Bu.

At this moment, Li Yun felt a resonance between himself and Lü Bu's personality.

He's just like me.

Who says the most experienced person is necessarily the most dazzling? Look at Liu Hewei, Chen Jianbo, and Lü Xiaohe.

Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo, then at Liu Bei, and then at Cao Cao.

Their feelings resonated with each other.

He can be replaced.

"As the old saying goes, the world will eventually divide after a long period of unity, and unite after a long period of division. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Five Hegemons vied for supremacy, and during the Warring States Period, the Seven Warring States stood side by side. After more than 500 years of fighting and war, the Qin Dynasty finally unified the country. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu-Han Contention took place, and the Han Dynasty eventually unified the country."

"The second year of the Zhanghe era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, 88 AD."

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs interfered in politics, and then Emperor Shang, Emperor An, Emperor Shun, Emperor Chong, and Emperor Zhi of Han. The dynasty changed frequently, the government became increasingly corrupt, and coupled with the annexation of land and repeated natural disasters, the people suffered greatly."

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the year of Jiazi, great fortune shall befall the world!"

At this moment, Gao Xinxin used a passionate and impassioned voice to describe the beginning of this chaotic world.

Originally, this section was not intended to be kept.

But Gao Xinxin ultimately decided to leave this section out.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was the beginning of a chaotic era, but it was not the cause of it.

Uprisings only occur when people are suffering.

Only when the imperial court changes hands can heroes rise up everywhere.

Therefore, the section on the Yellow Turban Rebellion cannot be removed.

Because this reflects the most authentic attitude of the people.

Their pain, their struggle.

Because of this.

The heroes and warlords who emerged during the late Han Dynasty in this era.

It was against this backdrop of the times.

That's when his magnificent story began.

Times make heroes.

Heroes are born with the times.

And the story begins at this moment.

The stories of the Oath of the Peach Garden and the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be omitted here; this is Liu Hewei's own interpretation of the Three Kingdoms.

The Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers rose from humble beginnings.

His fate was also intertwined with that of the entire late Eastern Han Dynasty, as evidenced by the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

And that's exactly what happened.

Late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The eighth month after the Yellow Turban Rebellion

In the imperial court, Emperor Shao of Han, Liu Bian, appeared as a young man.

The civil and military officials below the stage all bowed, displaying the demeanor of subjects.

Who is the monarch, and who is the subject?

It's obvious at a glance.

Only Dong Xiangguo.

He struck a casual pose.

He did not kneel before the emperor, but casually placed his hands down, as if the court were his own backyard.

The emperor remained silent, and neither did the officials.

This is the tyranny of Dong Zhuo.

He was nominally the prime minister, but in reality, he was the most powerful person in the entire court.

none of them.

They wielded even more power than the emperor.

He is a traitor who stole the country.

Dong Zhuo's first appearance was without any lines.

It's not just about actions, but also about image, temperament, and the expression in your eyes.

Only through these three elements.

To present and portray this important official from Hanzhong.

There are no lines.

But he perfectly portrayed the image of this powerful minister of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo.

They were the biggest enemies of the heroes in the early stages.

By holding the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords, those heroes from four generations of high-ranking officials used this as an excuse to recruit soldiers and horses.

They went to the capital to serve the emperor.

That's a good reason.

"Today is Lord Situ's birthday. Lord Wang has prepared a banquet at his residence and invites you to attend."

"Did Minister Wang invite Dong Zhuo?"

"Reporting back to you, sir, no."

"Understood, Lord Bingqing, I will certainly attend the banquet."

Those few long-serving ministers of the late emperor with long beards understood what had happened.

They also knew what this so-called family banquet really meant.

Actually, everyone knows the truth but keeps it to themselves.

Until Cao Mengde followed them out.

"Although you all serve as officials in the court, it seems that you are now all in cahoots with me, Cao Mengde."

"Mengde is indeed insightful." The Grand Tutor did not deny this statement.

They even acted in a grand and dignified manner.

It seems that he did not try to hide his disdain for Cao Mengde.

Why?

We were all officials in the same court.

You, however, disdain me, Cao Mengde.

The reason seems quite simple.

Because they came from families that had held high office for four generations, while Cao Mengde was the descendant of a eunuch.

Perhaps this is why the Han Dynasty collapsed so completely.

Although the Han Dynasty did not actually perish, looking at these four generations of high-ranking officials...

How could such a dynasty possibly survive?

At Wang Situ's banquet.

These high-ranking officials from four generations of noble families denounced Dong Zhuo's crimes and tyranny, and condemned his evil attempt to seize control of the Han Dynasty.

Even the loyal minister Wang Situ shed tears here.

Cry,

Tears.

Loyalty.

Even the loyal ministers standing not far from Li Yun couldn't help but shed tears.

What a loyal and righteous subject!

It's as if it transcends time and years.

He admired these ministers for their loyalty and integrity.

Li Yun, observing the loyal character of the minister and the actors' dedicated performances, silently absorbed their acting skills.

But while absorbing it, he also revealed a disdainful attitude.

"How can you treat a loyal and righteous person with such disrespect? I used to think you were a real man."

The loyal minister frowned slightly upon seeing Li Yun's expression.

And Li Yun.

Looking at Cao Mengde on the stage.

Look at yourself.

He glanced at the assembled civil and military officials.

At this moment, Li Yun said disdainfully.

"You gentlemen weep day and night, but can you weep Dong Zhuo to death?"

Just then.

Those of you who were not on stage rehearsing with the actors.

Liu Hewei and his group.

I also saw Li Yun reciting Cao Cao's lines.

Li Yun's eyes were fixed on him.

It was clearly empty.

But judging from their expressions...

It was as if they were spying on something that disdained the entire court of civil and military officials.

this is.

Pantomime?

"You gentlemen weep day and night, but can you weep Dong Zhuo to death?"

At the same time.

Cao Cao on the stage.

And Li Yun in the audience.

They then recited the same lines.

Chen Jianbo felt really good.

Performed normally, delivered the classic lines in one take.

He even felt that there was still more to say.

Liu Hewei.

I'm in great shape, can you see?

Don't be caught out by my performance; I've now completely become 'Cao Cao'.

However, when Chen Jianbo stepped off the camera, the words of praise he had expected did not come.

Everyone's attention seems to have shifted to the other side.
