Full-time actor

"Faced with the northern barbarians, our army's fortresses fell one after another."

"We have been conscripted to fight."

"The preparations for war are not yet complete, but we embark on our journey to join the troops stationed in the mountains and grasslands in resisting the Rouran invaders."

Today's scene will be Liu Yifei's confession, which is also the most challenging scene in the entire movie in terms of eye acting.

Liu Yifei stood in the crowd.

As far as the eye could see, Zhen Zidan was making his final pep talk.

The Rouran's attacks and invasions caused them heavy losses.

Now, it is time for them to go to the battlefield.

"When we meet on the battlefield, remember—"

"Loyalty!"

"Courage!"

"real!"

Liu Yifei looked at the sword in her hand, her eyes gradually lowering, and she did not utter the last word.

At this moment, she has not been "genuine".

Her act of concealing her female identity while serving in the military made it impossible for her to face the word with equanimity.

His inner turmoil made him even more worried.

Her breathing gradually quickened until Zhen Zidan shouted the command to sheathe the sword, at which point the panic in her heart was slowly suppressed.

Night fell.

Liu Yifei walked steadily toward the military tent, her steps hesitant yet firm.

She could never get over that hurdle in her heart.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind.

Liu Yifei clenched her fists slightly and suddenly looked up straight ahead.

"General Dong, Hua Jun requests an audience."

These words seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and her head drooped slightly.

As a result, her expression and emotions could not be captured in the camera, but her actions and back view at this moment appeared extremely frustrated.

"Come in."

Zhen Zidan was wiping the sword in his hand, and when he saw Liu Yifei walk in, his eyes remained as firm as ever.

"General Dong."

"There's something weighing heavily on my mind that I need to confess to you."

Liu Yifei's eyes were firm.

She looked at Zhen Zidan in front of her, and did not flinch when her eyes met his.

Zhen paused in wiping his sword, then looked at Liu Yifei, seemingly guiding her to continue.

"This matter is related to three major virtues."

Before Liu Yifei could finish speaking, Zhen Zidan had already steadily placed the sword in his scabbard.

"It is not shameful to feel fear before a war."

"In fact, by being frank about your concerns, you have also demonstrated your loyalty."

Liu Yifei's gaze followed Zhen Zidan's movements. Her eyes were tightly closed, as if she were making her final decision.

"Yes, General."

"But there are other virtues—"

"Hua Jun".

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei through the monitor. This scene mainly tells the story of Mulan trying to clarify her identity, but being interrupted by General Dong.

have to say.

Liu Yifei perfectly portrayed this entanglement and contradiction. The unease in her eyes and the urgency she showed when General Dong interrupted their conversation revealed that she and Mulan had long since become one.

"You're a good man."

"Perhaps one day we can retire together and return to our rural homes. Then I will introduce my daughter to you."

When Zhen Zidan said this, she was very serious, her eyes full of admiration for the person in front of her.

Liu Yifei took a deep breath, her clenched fists revealing her inner turmoil. Zhen Zidan's words had undoubtedly blocked her escape route.

After much deliberation.

She eventually knelt on one knee, concealing the panic in her eyes.

"Yes, General."

"I am deeply honored."

Zhen Zidan looked at Liu Yifei with a gratified expression, not paying attention to what Liu Yifei was about to say.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what your father's expression will be when he hears this news."

Upon hearing Zhen Zidan's words, Liu Yifei raised her head in a daze.

A bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

It was a struggle, a deliberation, and a fear of what might happen.

After a moment, Liu Yifei lowered her eyes.

"Cut."

Chen Yu snapped his fingers, and the others present began to applaud.

Putting everything else aside, Liu Yifei's portrayal of her inner turmoil, anxiety, and struggle was quite spot-on.

"Yifei, your eye acting in this scene was superb."

Zhen Zidan said with a smile.

He placed the sword in his hand on the sword rack, looking at Liu Yifei with admiration in his eyes.

It is truly extraordinary.

Regardless of how industry insiders define Liu Yifei, in his opinion, today's performance was indeed a great surprise.

Especially during that scene, perhaps others couldn't truly feel her anxiety.

But Zhen Zidan, standing opposite her, could fully understand.

Liu Yifei was somewhat flattered by the sudden shower of praise from so many people.

after all.

Everyone present was a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Chen Yu, her fiancé was staring at the monitor, observing her scene frame by frame.

to be frank.

For Liu Yifei, no amount of praise from others could compare to Chen Yu's approval.

Since they got together, Chen Yu has been the one guiding her in everything she does.

But only Liu Yifei knew that his lecturing was always for his own good.

"This play was good."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Liu Yifei, whose smile gradually brightened.

"Oh, right—"

"I'm going back to China on April 15th, and I've already asked Yang Lu to book my plane ticket."

It wasn't just him and Liu Yifei, but also Yongmei.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, everyone else present turned to look.

to be frank.

They probably know the reason why Chen Yu returned to China this time.

The press conference for the release of the first trailer for "Aftershock" will be held on April 15.

All key members of the production team will be present at this press conference.

"Brother Yu, when is the movie 'Aftershock' scheduled for release?"

Li Jie looked at Chen Yu. The internet has become increasingly developed, and domestic news can be shared almost in real time.

The upcoming release of the film "Aftershock" has caused quite a stir in China these past few days.

Numerous viewers expressed their opinions.

Most people adopted a supportive attitude.

after all.

They hope to create a work to commemorate the disaster and to educate future generations about the dangers of earthquakes and how to save themselves.

In this case.

Even when faced with disaster, they remain calm and composed.

Of course, there were also dissenting voices among the crowd.

They criticized the film "Aftershock" for exploiting disaster, but very few people said so.

No one has forgotten.

If Chen Yu hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Around July.

Chen Yu did not hide this fact and originally planned to announce the release date at this press conference.

Besides.

Chen Yu's thoughts drifted away.

After the Wenzhou earthquake, he did not sever ties with the earthquake bureau, but instead established an earthquake research group to study earthquake-prone areas.

Now that we've taken the first step in this matter, we must do everything in our power to avoid anything that might happen.

What are you thinking about?

Liu Yifei's voice reached his ears, bringing Chen Yu back to his senses. As a reborn individual, he knew all too well that his own strength alone was insufficient.

But no matter what.

He will do whatever he wants to do without hesitation.

***
"OK."

"This position is fine."

Chen Yu directed the group, as their return home date drew ever closer.

Before returning, the most important thing is to film the most glorious war scenes in "Mulan".

That's right.

In order to achieve a 100% accurate recreation of the battle scene, Chen Yu had already made precise arrangements several days before filming.

Whether it's navigating routes or positioning during combat, you need to ensure safety while also paying attention to the effects presented by the camera.

He hopes that Liu Yifei can achieve great success with this work.

So much so.

Whether it's live-action shooting or high-difficulty stunts, we try our best to recreate them.

The entire crew has arrived at the Ahulili River Valley, where the two armies will clash, and a battle against the Rouran is inevitable.

"Are you ready?"

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei sitting on the horse. Her face was completely covered by the helmet, and the person in front of him looked quite determined.

Just this scene alone.

Both the people and the horses have been moved back and forth countless times.

To ensure they were in top form, no one dared to slack off.

Li Lianjie and Gong Li looked at Chen Yu.

After spending more than a month together, they could not ignore Chen Yu's personal charm.

During the filming process, almost every step had to be done perfectly.

Especially regarding the Rouran campaign, Chen Yu had been searching for the best location about a week in advance.

He was working as if he were creating a work of art, not missing a single detail.

to be frank.

Gong Li sometimes has to admire Chen Yu for his success in every aspect.

As an actor, he swept the Best Actor awards at major film festivals.

As a screenwriter, he has gained the willing support of major domestic and international companies.

To be a director.

Both "Better Days" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" are truly amazing.

That's such a person.

Its sudden emergence accelerated the development of Chinese-language films by decades.

"Ready!"

At this moment, the two groups of people faced each other from a distance.

Li Jie led his army, watching their location intently, making thorough preparations for the upcoming battle.

"Scene 32 of Mulan, Act 4."

"Action!"

Chen Yu's voice echoed throughout the valley, and with his command, Li Jie was the first to ride out on horseback.

"Charge!"

Under the lens.

Li Jie's face could be described as quite ferocious.

As an actor who has appeared in countless Hollywood and Chinese films, even in supporting roles, he still has his moments of brilliance.

Especially now, every martial arts move and movement can be perfected.

"Archers, prepare!"

A sharp shout rang out, and Zhen Zidan's team marched in unison towards their position.

"Bend the bow!"

Liu Yifei looked at the approaching Rouran army, her eyes no longer showing the hesitation she had before, but instead filled with determination.

"Fire arrows!"

It must be said that the scene was quite grand and magnificent.

Combined with the spectacular scenery of the Ahulili River Valley, the whole scene is breathtaking.

A hail of arrows descended.

Chen Yu's gaze was fixed on the monitor. His efforts over the past few days had not been in vain; the images on the screen were spectacular and brutal.

As for Liu Yifei, she truly lived up to her reputation as a woman who is just as capable as any man.

Facing the invasion of a powerful enemy, there was no fear on her face.

“These cowards have retreated. Pursue them.”

At Zhen Zidan's command, the crowd behind him shouted.

"drive!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Yifei quickly spurred her horse and chased after the Rouran troops who had fled in that direction.

Two arrows shot forward swiftly.

In the lens.

Liu Yifei fell directly onto the horse without pausing for a moment.

The three-month intensive training greatly improved her physical abilities, and she now possesses tremendous power even when riding a horse.

Then she raised her hands and took out the bow and arrow from behind her, shooting forward.

A look of amazement appeared in Chen Yu's eyes.

He was by Liu Yifei's side during the last few days of training.

Whether it's action scenes, swordsmanship, or horseback riding, Liu Yifei performs exceptionally well.

Back when she was filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", her action scenes had already been praised by the director. Now, she has undoubtedly reached a new level.

On the monitor.

The situation became increasingly tense and exciting. One by one, Liu Yifei's teammates were hit by arrows. After dodging the arrows fired by the enemy, the sound of horses' hooves behind them gradually faded away.

This situation caused Liu Yifei to pause involuntarily.

She stopped the horse, turned her head to look in the direction behind her, and noticed that her two remaining teammates had deserted and were running back to where they had started.

This moment.

She seemed to be conflicted for a moment.

Gazing in the direction the Rouran troops had gone, he finally charged forward without hesitation.

Chen Yu made adjustments to this role.

In her previous life, Mulan encountered a witch on her journey, but dared not reveal her true identity under her attack.

This time.

Chen Yu hoped that Mulan would rely on her loyalty and courage when pursuing her goal.

"OK!"

At a command, Liu Yifei stopped, panting heavily.

The following fight scenes are all close-ups, so we need to switch to another perspective.

present.

We can give everyone a halftime break.

Liu Yifei took a deep breath. She had practiced the horseback riding and archery scene countless times, giving it her all every time during the training camp.

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei, who was walking towards him.

He retained the red makeup and armor from his previous life.

It's undeniable that I was truly amazed when I saw that scene in the theater.

Liu Yifei's action scenes are undoubtedly among the best in the Chinese film and television industry.

Both her skills and her style are unique in mainland China.

"Aren't you tired? Can you handle the next scene?"

Chen Yu tucked a stray strand of hair from Liu Yifei's temple behind her ear, his tenderness undiminished.

"Not tired."

"During my training camp, I had to ride a horse for three or four hours every day. I'm already used to horseback riding and archery!"

When Liu Yifei talks about that training camp, she looks quite proud.

The staff are still busy, and the upcoming scene will be Liu Yifei's highlight moment.

A figure in red bravely fought on the battlefield.

Just imagining that scene is enough to make one feel that breathtaking beauty.

People kept coming up to Liu Yifei and praising her performance.

Looking at Liu Yifei, who was talking to the people present, Chen Yu felt somewhat gratified.

Before filming, he was probably even more nervous than Liu Yifei.

Just as he had thought before, he was unsure whether 20-year-old Liu Yifei could handle the complex role of Mulan.

But now.

He was absolutely certain of this.

Liu Yifei is Mulan! (End of Chapter)
