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

Chapter 398, A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain depressed for long?

Chapter 398. A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?

Li Yun possesses a captivating charm.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that this Lü Bu possesses a bewitching charm.

That's the magic of it.

The feeling he exudes.

It is something that any ruler in the Three Kingdoms period would have desired.

The strongest warrior.

As long as he possesses the Fangtian Halberd and wears the Beast-Devouring Chain Armor, he is invincible and powerful.

Dong Zhuo has fallen.

I am willing to give up my horse.

I would rather forsake my prized horse Red Hare and seek a worthy general.

He then sent Lü Bu's fellow townsman to persuade him to surrender.

Cavalry Commandant Li Su.

The assessment of Lü Bu is that he was a person who would betray principles for personal gain.

Regarding this assessment, Lü Bu only had one thing to say.

You have a good eye for people.

Using gold, silver, and the Red Hare horse as bait, and employing clever words and flattery, he made Lü Bu believe that Dong Zhuo was the truly loyal and righteous man who was working for the Han Dynasty.

The King of Chenliu was the true emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Thus, Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan, and his first adoptive father was eliminated.

"My son, Fengxian, why?"

"How could I possibly be your adopted son?"

As for eliminating Ding Yuan and beheading him with his sword, Lü Bu did not hesitate at all.

It just makes one feel a little sorry for Ding Yuan, such a loyal minister.

It would have been one thing if he had died in a direct confrontation, but he died at the hands of his own adopted son.

My life is in the Great Han Dynasty

At this point, Gao Xinxin's camera gave Ding Yuan a lot of close-ups.

Just like many people have said.

The Three Kingdoms is an ensemble drama.

Whoever performs best gets the camera.

Whoever is the most capable will take the center position.

Ding Yuan was portrayed with just a few strokes in the old Three Kingdoms novel.

In this new Three Kingdoms series, he got a lot more screen time.

This was not originally in the plan.

But unfortunately, this loyal old minister acted too well.

Or perhaps they got too into character.

So much so that even the character created by Ding Yuan with just a few strokes in the original work was able to express his own emotions.

Loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

And the resentment of being killed by his own hand.

Of course, the camera was not only focused on Ding Yuan, but also on Lü Bu himself.

His eyes seemed cold.

Two-faced and treacherous, a person who abandons morality for personal gain.

He was greedy, despicable, and cold-blooded.

But a subtle hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

But it was only a slight reluctance.

It was quickly replaced by the desires of one's inner instincts.

"Lu Bu has spent half his life wandering, only regretting that he has never met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon him, I am willing to become your godfather."

"My Fengxian, truly a hero sent from heaven!"

Dong Zhuo's ecstatic joy.

His pleasure.

After acquiring Lü Bu, he was able to do whatever he wanted in the imperial court.

No one could stop him from dominating the court and the country.

On this imperial court.

He had no rivals left.

This marked the beginning of a major prelude to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The heroes gathered to attack Dong Zhuo.

The heroes' first stage.

This marked the beginning of the event.

For the filming of the Three Kingdoms, this was the real warm-up and the real action.

All the heroes will make their appearance at this time.

Get together.

The production team then summarized the first scene and discussed the upcoming cuts.

Yes, with so many shots filmed, it's time to start discussing cuts.

A 100-episode story of the Three Kingdoms.

It can't contain all the legends of the heroes.

"Are you sure? Remove the Oath of the Peach Garden?"

"Yes, I want to keep the part about Ding Yuan and Lü Bu."

"this."

"The story of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei has been adapted into far too many works. If we keep more of it, won't it become too long and tedious?" Gao Xinxin said at this time. "I want to preserve the stories of the old loyal ministers. Readers of the Three Kingdoms usually only look at the heroes and rarely pay attention to the former officials of the previous dynasty."

Among the most famous former officials of the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were the most famous.

Cao Mengde needs no introduction; he became a cunning and ruthless hero.

As for Yuan Shao, he was criticized for being ambitious but incompetent, and for forgetting the greater good for petty gains. Apart from having the reputation of being from a family that had held high office for four generations, there was really nothing else to tell about him.

That is, in the imperial court.

When he angrily drew his sword at Dong Zhuo.

Only then does he possess a certain charm and elegance.

My sword has never been dull.

"What surprised me even more was Lü Bu," Gao Xinxin said at this moment. "I didn't expect him to portray bravery so thoroughly."

The crew members didn't have much to refute on this point.

The charm of Lü Bu.

And it does indeed exist here.

His bravery and martial prowess made all the lords present envious.

At this time.

Gao Xinxin noticed another spot where Lu Bu had landed.

When Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan...

The body and mind are two separate reactions.

This is a difference that is very difficult to portray.

Because the body and mind are highly unified, even if there are discrepancies, they won't go to an exaggerated degree.

That's what acting is all about.

A high degree of unity between thought and action.

However, the current situation is one of difference in thought and behavior.

It's contradictory when applied to acting.

There are also contradictions when applied to the characters.

However, this contradiction can become a fascinating aspect to explore.

It makes one quite curious.

Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan.

What kind of feeling is it?

Since I can't bear it.

Why be so decisive?

Dong Zhuo treated Lü Bu quite well.

Just like Ding Yuan treated Lü Bu well.

They may have valued Lü Bu's bravery, but in practice, they did grant him status and preferential treatment.

However, Lü Bu's service under Dong Zhuo was not entirely without sincerity.

And the first point of division.

It all comes down to Diao Chan.

The most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms period, the adopted daughter of Wang Yun, the Minister of Works, and the beloved concubine of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was fond of wine, women, and power.

What a coincidence, his adopted son Lü Bu was also one.

When Lü Bu met Diao Chan.

His eyes went blank.

Let alone Lü Bu.

Everyone in the crew present was also captivated by Liu Qianqian's appearance.

With a slender waist like a willow branch and bright, expressive eyes.

Even in a pale white chiffon dress, she still exudes charm.

She sat in Dong Xiangguo's room through a light veil.

When she met Lü Bu's gaze, she looked mournful and pleaded for help.

When he met Dong Zhuo's gaze, his expression turned to flattery and ingratiation.

The cunning schemes of the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms period.

It was to sow discord between Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu.

evildoer.

Liu Qianqian perfectly captured this otherworldly charm.

In terms of beauty.

At her peak, Liu Qianqian was unmatched.

The misery and pity in her eyes.

There was also a faint sense of hatred in it.

She did not forget her purpose.

Kill the notorious traitor Dong Zhuo.

That was her goal.

Her behavior.

very clear.

But when she met Lü Bu's gaze...

There was also a degree of genuine affection involved.

Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes.

Isn't it.

Lustful and greedy, he forgets righteousness for profit.

Here is a portrait of Lü Bu.

His character was already largely formed.

A heroic outward appearance.

It possesses a unique quality that can attract all lords to fall into its trap.

With mixed emotions, she felt a slight reluctance to kill Ding Yuan.

And the way he looked at Diao Chan.

Obsessive affection.

There's still a sliver of love.

It has been a timeless truth that heroes love beauties and beauties love heroes.

The relationship between Lü Bu and Diao Chan.

It's probably a perfect match between a beauty and a hero.

This feeling of being stuck in a routine.

Diao Chan's purpose was to sow discord between Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu.

Diao Chan harbors a slight affection for Lü Bu.

That's perfectly normal.

Because Lü Bu was the most powerful general in the world.

Such a formidable person.

How can one not love a beautiful woman?

But the way Lü Bu looked at Diao Chan.

Everyone originally thought that Li Yun would show a possessive attitude.

The hero possesses the beauty.

Isn't that normal?

Especially someone like Lü Bu, who was unscrupulous and whose low moral character was well-known throughout the Three Kingdoms period.

Everyone knows his character.

Just as everyone knows of his bravery.

It was only when Lü Bu showed some affection for Diao Chan that...

This corresponds to Diao Chan's subtle admiration.

This is very different from the script.

However, at this point...

The script for the Three Kingdoms has become so bad that even wiping your butt with it is too difficult.

Gao Xinxin added scenes featuring Ding Yuan.

The scenes featuring Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were cut.

Dong Zhuo also gave his own interpretation, and due to the issue of immersion, he even started to improvise in many parts.

Everyone here is well-versed in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Records of the Three Kingdoms.

This also drove Gao Xinxin completely insane.

That's what the director said.

Let's forget about the script.

We are all people from the Three Kingdoms period.

Use the methods of the Three Kingdoms, and use your own methods.

Go and express your own feelings.

For now, I'll hand over the director's power to the actors present here.

Actually, it wasn't Gao Xinxin's intention.

At this point, he had already lost control of the script.

When Li Yun made everyone feel an exceptionally deep sense of immersion.

The character's fate is no longer under his control; he can only impose restrictions within a limited framework.

As long as everyone doesn't portray the characters beyond the scope of the Three Kingdoms period.

You can do whatever you want.

Gao Xinxin originally thought that filming Three Kingdoms would be very tiring.

But now it seems...

It wasn't that tiring.

This is after filming the scene where they are negotiating.

The creators still need to discuss it.

The expressive eye contact between Diao Chan and Lü Bu.

Is it correct?

However, this was off-camera.

This Lu Bu, who had not yet broken out of his role and was still immersed in his own world, made a choice: he would sleep covered in his armor.

He lacks a sense of security.

Relying on his bravery, he arbitrarily beat and scolded his subordinates.

This is also a characteristic of his personality.

However, when he passed by a Yellow Turban refugee.

That greedy guy.

He then tossed him a small portion of his military rations.

This happened off-camera.

It was a strange kind of pity.

That wasn't a feeling of being on top.

That evokes a sense of empathy and compassion.

His actions surprised everyone.

That's perfectly reasonable.

He was able to betray Ding Yuan without hesitation.

They are capable of betraying others for gold, silver, and status, and they can also rely on their martial prowess to do whatever they want in the army.

My name is Lü Bu.

I was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan Commandery, on the border of Bingzhou.

This place was once the front line of the Qin and Han empires in resisting the Xiongnu.

There is a city nearby.

It was called "surrender," and the entire city was inhabited by surrendered Xiongnu tribes.

Chaos, slaughter, hunger, scarcity of resources, and constant uncertainty made life here even more miserable than that of the Yellow Turban refugees during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

My people.

Life is already hard enough; we are born to be food.

And on this front line where the Xiongnu were entrenched.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a living hell in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

I want to survive here.

The only requirement is strength; if you're not strong enough, you can't survive.

It's a dog-eat-dog world.

The Xiongnu ate people.

Even more so than wild beasts.

However, Bu possessed great bravery.

It can be kept from being eaten by others.

I, Lü Bu, survived here because I am strong enough. The reason I survive here is because of my bravery.

I survived here.

And was appreciated by my first lord.

One day, I joined Ding Yuan's camp and became his chief clerk, protecting him and becoming his adopted son.

He led me out of the hellish border region and even propelled me into the imperial court.

I stepped into the place I had always dreamed of, the resource-rich Central Plains.

However, when I arrived here...

Then you'll know.

That vast land of the Central Plains.

In the imperial court.

But it's not much better than Guanjun here.

The clans of the Four Scholars and Three Dukes did not hesitate at all when they began to devour the people of the Central Plains. In the midst of laughter and conversation, their land, families, and grain were completely consumed.

Those from humble backgrounds who held high positions in the imperial court were the source of sustenance for those who had served as high-ranking officials for generations.

The common people below the imperial court are the sustenance for all of them.

The common people shared the food among themselves.

Those who could no longer survive were called Yellow Turban rebels, and their desperate and sorrowful cries echoed throughout the land, accompanied by a man named Zhang Jiao.

The refugees of the Yellow Turbans.

Regardless of the circumstances within the Han Dynasty.

They were all the ones being eaten.

They were eaten by the Xiongnu, eaten by the poor, eaten by those who had been high-ranking officials for generations, and eaten by us heroes and valiant men. In our eyes, these emaciated, bloodless people who never stopped eating others were walking badges of honor.

Their existence is the ladder that allows us to rise in rank and prestige.

There's no need to feel ashamed, and I feel no shame either.

A beautiful woman might be like a caged bird, perhaps she could live a little longer, just like the maid in the household of Situ Wang Yun.

Because of her beauty, she was adopted by Wang Yun and placed under Dong Zhuo's command, but it was all part of a honey trap.

Apart from this beauty.

Most people are food in that cage.

We are like ants in this mortal world, born in the morning and dying in the evening.

We may not see tomorrow's sun, but we live for the next quarter of an hour.

I, Lü Bu, am a man who lives for the next quarter of an hour.

From a poor person on the frontier.

He walked step by step to the front of the imperial court.

From Ding Yuan to Dong Zhuo, a wise bird chooses its tree to perch on, changing masters along the way.
