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

Chapter 399, The Caged Bird, The Caged Tiger

Inside the Phoenix Pavilion.

At this moment, Lü Bu also interacted with Diao Chan.

A bird in a cage.

A tiger under his command.

There wasn't much intimate interaction.

They only occasionally exchanged glances.

Even their interactions consist of hugs.

There was no overstepping of authority.

It is very different from the old Three Kingdoms, which fully portrayed Lü Bu's lust and greed.

His feelings for Diao Chan were more driven by desire.

Meanwhile, the generals under his command felt a mixture of love and affection towards Diao Chan.

And Diao Chan is here.

They continued to fulfill their duties.

When facing Dong Zhuo, she used seductive eyes and tried her best to seduce him.

When facing Lü Bu, she appeared pitiful, like a bird in a cage.

They used this method to sow discord between Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu.

Because of a woman.

And turned against their own lord.

Lu Bu's vision, his greed, his stinginess, and his shortsightedness.

It can be said that Diao Chan's affair was the trigger for their conflict.

Greed blinds the mind, and lust makes one forget righteousness.

It's this portrait of Lü Bu.

He could freely play with the maids in Dong Zhuo's mansion; this was his privilege as a fierce general.

Diao Chan is the only exception.

He also expressed emotions to Diao Chan beyond mere desire.

This feeling makes people feel...

Li Yun would definitely be a master at acting in romance dramas.

At least in terms of the interpretation of the feeling of love.

Li Yun can do it.

And it was done quite well.

His feelings for Diao Chan were absolutely genuine.

If it is driven by this feeling of love.

Therefore, it's not too hard to understand why Lü Bu would rebel against Dong Zhuo to rescue this caged bird.

Liu Qianqian's feelings for Li Yun.

The clear emotion in his eyes.

clear and distinct.

There is a certain truth to it.

The first phase of the dramatic scenes is nearing its end.

Under Yuan Shao's leadership.

Heroes from all directions gather here.

To punish the traitor Dong Zhuo.

Punish this usurper.

Lu Bu, a key hero in the first phase, is about to be taken offline; he is also his second adoptive father.

The father and son were manipulated by Diao Chan's seductive scheme.

Their conflict is about to erupt.

"Actually, I think Diao Chan's acting was better than the script you wrote."

This is Liu Hewei's evaluation.

In Gao Xinxin's script.

Diao Chan was even more pure; she admired General Lü Bu, just as heroes have always loved beauties, and beauties have always loved heroes.

She was originally part of Wang Yun's scheme to sow discord between Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo.

She was part of the plan.

But how much autonomy does she have?

He's just a guy trapped in a cage, morally blackmailed into sacrificing himself for some so-called greater good.

The Han Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and the nation is about to perish.

For this woman...

Whether this burly man is present or not, he's nothing more than a canary in a cage.

Songstress, adopted daughter, prop.

She has many identities.

But she still fulfilled her duty, sowing discord between Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo.

Performing a grand ceremony within a snail shell, using gentleness as a knife to take lives.

He was not greedy for Dong Zhuo's power and wealth.

They have consistently fulfilled their responsibilities.

Her role is not contradictory.

It could even be described as very three-dimensional.

Her love was real, and her stance was real.

He admired the incomparably brave Lü Bu.

His strength is unforgettable.

There was also a vague and inexplicable sense of shared suffering and empathy.

That's acting skill.

The expression of acting skills.

They conveyed their feelings for each other through their eyes in the play.

"It's definitely much better than what I wrote in the script," Gao Xinxin said with a complicated expression. "I originally thought this new generation actor wouldn't be able to handle such complex character changes, but it turns out I was wrong."

It's one thing if other people can control the fate of their own roles.

I never expected Liu Qianqian could do that too.

Li Yun was already the first unexpected one.

He has the power to control the fate of his characters.

And what about Liu Qianqian?

It was definitely another unexpected turn of events.

She completely controlled Diao Chan's emotions.

Make the character come alive right before your eyes, just like a real person.

Uncontrolled free expression.

Liu Qianqian is definitely not just a pretty face.

Just like Diao Chan in front of us.

She was definitely not just a pretty face bearing the title of the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms period.

She too lived in this chaotic world where heroes emerged.

They are playing their part.

To Dong Zhuo, she was nothing short of a femme fatale.

This indirectly and prematurely destroyed his dream of establishing the Dong family's empire.

Diao Chan was truly an extraordinary woman.

Liu Qianqian: Are all the new generation monsters?

It's one thing to be so good-looking.

His acting skills are also surprisingly excellent.

Unique character development.

It's definitely online.

That's amazing!

The halberd, used specifically to kill my adoptive father.

The outbreak of internal and external conflicts.

Let him kill this great thief himself.

"My son, Fengxian, why is this happening?" Dong Zhuo looked at Lü Bu in disbelief.

He never expected that Lü Bu, whom he treated like a son, would be so kind.

He actually turned around and killed himself.

The astonishment in Lü Xiaohe's eyes was genuine.

Stunned, puzzled, confused.

I have clearly treated my son Fengxian well.

Why could he kill me so easily?

Even his child cried.

He trusted Lü Bu the most.

Why?

"The consequence of taming a tiger is being devoured by it. Don't you remember what Ding Yuan thought when you turned Lu Bu against you and killed him? Lu Bu is an ungrateful wolf that can't be tamed."

At this moment, Chen Jianbo calmly gave his evaluation.

As everyone watched the first super hero in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms meet his end, they couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia).

A powerful and ruthless figure.

Even Dong Zhuo's existence influenced Cao Mengde's personality.

It can be said that Cao Cao was the second Dong Zhuo.

He wasn't as brutal as Dong Zhuo, but he was definitely more selfish and cunning.

When they see their predecessors and peers meet their end.

It's hard not to feel a little sad.

"That's Dong Zhuo's confidence. He was confident that he could control this fierce man. He thought he was different from Ding Yuan, but in reality, how were they different from Lü Bu? They were both highly appreciated and trusted, so it was only natural that they received the same result."

Liu Hewei at this moment.

But I also felt a bit emotional.

The departure of this once-powerful figure.

After he left the stage.

This is truly the story of the feudal lords outside the Great Wall.

Therefore, Lü Bu was disloyal and unjust.

At this moment, Liu Hewei suddenly couldn't speak.

It suddenly got stuck.

It was as if she had suddenly remembered something.

At that moment, he subconsciously felt that Lü Bu was not so disloyal, unjust, or untrustworthy.

Both of his adoptive fathers were victims of his cruelty.

In the Three Kingdoms period, loyalty and righteousness were highly valued.

Lü Bu's behavior was extremely disloyal, unjust, and utterly nonsensical.

He was originally someone like that.

It should be utterly repulsive.

In fact, that was indeed the case before.

Before the series even started, Liu Hewei, as an actor, clearly disliked people like Lü Bu.

There were many brave and valiant generals in the Three Kingdoms period.

The person with the worst character is none other than Lü Bu.

On the land of China.

Even if he has the reputation of being the bravest warrior.

His popularity is still far behind Zhao Zilong's, and even more so than Guan Yu's.

Because Zhao Zilong and Guan Yu possessed outstanding qualities that Lü Bu lacked.

They possess loyalty, righteousness, courage, and martial prowess.

How could anyone not like a character like that?

But how can Lü Bu be liked?

But when Li Yun performed it.

That bravery was indeed somewhat unexpected.

However, the image of bravery cannot change the essence of the character. In terms of dramatic scenes, he does seem to be opportunistic and ungrateful.

Li Yun perfectly portrayed his true character.

But now, when he personally killed Dong Zhuo.

Liu Hewei actually...

Surprisingly, I didn't feel any disgust.

He's Lu Bu, after all.

The floor of the Three Kingdoms' fierce generals' character.

Surprisingly, she didn't dislike him.

It seems... quite strange.

"Don't you dislike Xiao Li's Lu Bu?" Chen Jianbo suddenly asked Liu Hewei.

"Are you one of them? You should know that Cao Cao despised Lü Bu the most."

"But Cao Cao is Cao Cao, and I am Chen Jianbo." At this moment, Chen Jianbo sighed.

He didn't seem to deny that feeling.

That feeling of dismissing Lu Bu's character like trash before filming even began.

Changes occur because of an actor's performance.

Li Yun is the essential element that made this change.

Lu Xiaohe's filming has wrapped up.

When he appeared before Liu Hewei, Chen Jianbo, and Gao Xinxin, he was already dressed in casual clothes.

In the past, he wouldn't even be willing to take off his costume.

They couldn't bear to reveal Li Dongzhuo's identity.

They were unwilling to detach themselves from the world of the Three Kingdoms.

He will be leaving the set of Three Kingdoms after tonight.

He still looked a little reluctant.

There's even a hint of lingering aftertaste in it.

Although Dong Zhuo was a villainous and ruthless figure, his character was not very good either.

But in the end, he was one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, leaving his own mark and his own mark in this era of fierce competition. He was content with that.

At this wrap party.

Dong Zhuo was still somewhat dazed.

"Should we let you stay on set for a couple more days? I don't need your lunch money anyway." Gao Xinxin could tell at a glance that Lü Xiaohe was reluctant to leave.

He couldn't bear to part with it.

I'm reluctant to leave here.

I am reluctant to leave this era of fierce competition among heroes.

Reluctant to leave the lingering shadows here.

It belongs to him, to Lü Xiaohe's shadow of Dong Zhuo.

"No need, I'm afraid if I stay a couple more days I'll be even more reluctant to leave, lest I get teary-eyed watching you film," Lü Xiaohe said with a slight smile.

"How was your wrap-up? Did you have any special feelings, like, as Dong Zhuo, did you regret taking that ungrateful bastard Lü Bu as your adopted son?" Gao Xinxin teased from the side.

However, Lü Xiaohe was somewhat at a loss for words when faced with this question.

Yes, he doesn't know how to reply right now.

Dong Zhuo must have regretted it.

But deep down, there was a strange feeling.

Finally, after several rounds of drinks, he still spoke.

"I don't know if you guys have this feeling, but when I was acting with Li Yun, I did feel his emotional expression, that righteous indignation, as if doing this was a matter of course. It made me feel that there was some reason why he killed me like this, and I don't even know where this reason came from."

That's amazing!

Lü Xiaohe as an actress.

You can then feel the sense of entitlement that comes from the depths of your own heart.

Since ancient times, the character of Lü Bu has been burdened with the image of being disloyal, unjust, and unfilial.

Now, it's unclear where his legitimacy comes from.

"Actually, I have the same feeling, but I always feel that this feeling is very ridiculous. It may just be my imagination. But since you feel the same way, then I'm afraid it may not be an imagination. It may be that Li Yun intentionally created this." Liu Hewei stroked his chin.

"So you must have read the Records of the Three Kingdoms, not just the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Gao Xinxin was very pleased and said after taking a small sip of her drink.

"Let me give you my conclusion first. Li Yun's understanding of the character Lü Bu is quite remarkable. Even I didn't initially think of portraying Lü Bu from this angle."

"That's true. From everyone's perspective, Lü Bu was disloyal, unjust, and unfilial. But why could Diao Chan empathize with him so much? And why was he different towards Diao Chan?"

"Because Lü Bu is just two sides of the same coin as Diao Chan."

"They were all playthings under the great cage of powerful families at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"The bravest warrior and the most beautiful woman? They are nothing more than birds in a cage and tigers in a cage. Lü Bu was disloyal, unjust, and unfilial to Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. So how did the gentry of the Eastern Han Dynasty, represented by Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, behave? If they had behaved well, there would have been no Yellow Turban Rebellion. If they had behaved well, there would have been no story of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms."

Gao Xinxin spoke freely about her understanding of the character.

Some even expressed themselves with tears in their eyes.

How many years has it been?

Finally, there is such a person.

He told him his version of the Three Kingdoms story.

This is an era in which heroes rise to prominence.

Understanding infiltration.

At this moment, Chen Jianbo and Liu Hewei, who were standing nearby, were watching Director Gao, who seemed to be going crazy.

That's definitely the case.

Li Yun expressed all of these things.

Even in the darkness of night, some people remained on the chaotic battlefield.

Li Yun sat quietly at the edge of the film set.
