Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 677 Just the Right Kind of Greasy

The conversation between Prince Fu and the officials was not just about himself.

He also mentioned Chongzhen.

"Chongzhen is a child, stubborn and irresponsible, capricious and hesitant. With such a character, how can he be a good emperor?"

It was obvious that Prince Fu disliked Chongzhen very much.

But this is normal.

His father was the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his mother was Concubine Zheng, the most beloved concubine of the Wanli Emperor at that time.

As soon as he was born, he was regarded as a treasure by both Wanli and Concubine Zheng, and was the fruit of their love.

For him, Emperor Wanli fought with the ministers in the court for fifteen years and forced four prime ministers to step down, just to make him the crown prince.

And he seemed to be only one step away from the position of crown prince.

"I should have been the one in that position!
Look at what kind of people have sat on the throne since our father.

Zhu Changluo died of debauchery.

Zhu Youxiao died from falling into the water.

Zhu Youjian is eager for quick success and instant benefits!

Can these three people run this country well? They can’t!”

Liu Shishi looked at Huang Xiaoming's angry expression on the screen and burst out laughing.

Seeing Zhou Mo looking over, she smiled and said, "How did Brother Xiaoming make this scene so greasy and interesting? It made me laugh to death."

From Prince Fu's lines alone, it's obvious that Prince Fu is not only narcissistic, but also a bit vindictive.

But after hearing the lines, she didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, she thought that Prince Fu was really interesting.

Tang Yan had a similar feeling.

She guessed: "Maybe it's because this style is more in line with Prince Fu."

Zhou Mo nodded

“Tangtang is right, our styles are more compatible.

You have all read the script about Prince Fu this time. It is obvious that he is not a good emperor in the traditional sense. He is the kind of guy who is reliable only at critical moments, but greedy and lustful, and even a little narcissistic at other times.

This kind of personality is just right for the leader's style. He is a domineering boss on weekdays, very greasy, but from time to time he can give you a burst of energy and make you brighten up. "

Liu Shishi raised her eyebrows.

"That's true. Brother Xiaoming really fits this style."

The second half of the first episode.

More news came from the capital that after killing Wei Zhongxian, the current emperor began to carry out drastic reforms, appointed many ministers including Yuan Chonghuan, promulgated many policies, and ordered the entire court to cooperate with Yuan Chonghuan to achieve his goal of "pacifying Liaodong in five years."

However, in the second year after Yuan Chonghuan took office, he relied on the power given by Chongzhen to "act at his own convenience" and killed Mao Wenlong, the general of Dongjiang, without reporting to the emperor first.

After Chongzhen knew about it, instead of blaming him, he praised him highly.

However, by the end of the year, the Later Jin killed the general of Shanhaiguan at the entrance to the south, broke through the blockade set up by Yuan Chonghuan, and fought all the way to the foot of the capital.

At this point, Yuan Chonghuan lost Chongzhen's trust, and Chongzhen's attitude towards him took a sharp turn for the worse. He imprisoned him the following year and ordered the death of many civil and military officials.

Another batch of court officials were replaced.

At this point, in just less than three years, the power of the court during the Chongzhen period had changed dramatically.

In response to this, Prince Fu, who lived in the Central Plains, once again made his comments.

"In less than three years, how many people have been replaced one after another? Is it useful? The medicine remains the same after a new soup. In the final analysis, Chongzhen is still eager for quick success!"

Prince Fu's words did not comment on whether the decision to appoint Yuan Chonghuan was correct.

Because the decision itself is controversial.

In reality, whether Yuan Chonghuan’s actions were useful or not, and how useful they were, is still unclear.

But there is a definite conclusion about the fact that "Chongzhen frequently changed people."

During the Chongzhen reign, there were 19 prime ministers in 17 years, with an average of less than one year in office. This frequent replacement of prime ministers greatly led to turmoil in the court, and also caused the new talents between the emperor and his ministers to almost disappear, resulting in serious internal friction.

This is the end of the first episode.

Taking advantage of the interval between two episodes, Zhou Mo asked the two women.

"How was the first episode, how did you two feel about it?"

Tang Yan: "Normal performance, not too good."

This beginning is a very typical background introduction, plus the introduction of the protagonist.

Not particularly attractive, but not bad either.

"Well, where's Shishi?"

Liu Shishi is looking at the comments on the screen.

At this moment, the barrage of comments was filled with words like "So cool", "No, I can't stand it anymore, I need to wash my eyes" and so on.

There is no doubt that these comments are all complaining about the style of "Prince Fu" played by Huang Xiaoming.

Seeing that the ending song was almost over, the number of barrages of comments such as "Greasy" and "Enough of cooking" did not decrease, but continued to increase. Liu Shishi found herself a little nervous.

She had read the script, so she knew that Prince Fu was just a bit greasy on weekdays, but reliable at critical moments.

But the audience doesn’t know that.

She was afraid that the audience would not be able to watch even the first episode because they couldn't handle the greasy feeling of the leader.

"This is a case of first suppressing and then promoting, but is it too harsh?"

"Don't panic. With our company's reputation, we can hopefully keep the audience entertained until the second episode, where there will be a reversal," Zhou Mo consoled.

as predicted.

In the second episode, after Prince Fu complained about Chongzhen, his expression immediately changed.

He shouted to the empty room.

"Someone is coming."

The next second, a figure appeared in front of him and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty."

"Ah."

Prince Fu nodded slightly.

At this moment, he was expressionless, contrary to his previous greasy look.

Just sitting there can give people a sense of oppression.

Zhou Mo could tell at a glance that this shot was specially arranged by the crew.

In the camera, Prince Fu's upper body was shrouded in darkness, looking somewhat solemn.

Only the mouth is illuminated by a ray of light, becoming the focus that attracts the audience's attention.

Compared with the corners of his mouth that seemed to be always rising before, at this moment Huang Xiaoming's mouth corners were slightly pressed down, his lips were pursed, and the whole person looked very majestic.

The contrast between before and after comes out instantly.

The charm of the lens is fully displayed at this moment.

Even the comments changed from "greasy" to "Fuck, handsome guy, who are you?", "Is this still the leader I know?", "Give my greasy boss back, or I won't forgive you."

Prince Fu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Are you sure Chongzhen wants to send eunuchs to collect taxes everywhere again?"

"Yes!"

"it is good!"

Prince Fu's eyes lit up and were filled with excitement.

Sending the tax inspector was a good move; Chongzhen was one step closer to destroying his own rule.
