Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 882: Four hundred years old monster, the Tao heart is extremely stable

Snapped!
When Mrs. Ding's powerful slap landed on Cao Cao's face, many viewers in the theater were shocked.

Such a neat and clean move.

Such a clear and bright sound.

It doesn't look fake.

Da Tiantian looked at Zhou Mo with a searching look in her eyes.

She was not present when the scene was filmed.

"Sister Yun, was this slap in the face made for you?"

"No, he really did it."

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had spotted a reporter gathering gossip.

"What did you say at the time? Director Jiang really let me slap him?"

"I am also Phuket Island. I am just a weak, helpless and pitiful screenwriter. I have no say in the affairs between them."

Da Tiantian curled her lips and said, I don’t believe you at all.

On the screen, Mrs. Ding slapped Cao Cao and turned away.

Her only son died, all her hard work had gone to waste, and there was no point in her staying here any longer.

The death of Cao Ang was a heavy blow to the power of Cao Wei.

Many times, whether a powerful group can continue smoothly depends not only on the leader of the power itself, but also on the successor of the power.

An excellent successor can take the power to a higher level.

A foolish heir will cause the power to fall apart.

Cao Ang was originally trained as a standard heir. He had no shortage of abilities, and had the support of his mother's family. He also had a good relationship with his younger brothers.

(Historically, Cao Pi and Cao Ang had a pretty good relationship. After Cao Pi became emperor, he publicly stated that if it weren't for his brother in Wancheng, he would be dead, and Cao Ang was posthumously conferred the throne)

The death of Cao Ang caused a major reshuffle within the originally stable power.

Several of Cao Cao's sons began to compete for the position of heir.

Among them, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and even Cao Chong, who was only a few years old, were all listed on the list of heirs because of Cao Cao's favor.

Among his many sons, Cao Pi was good friends with aristocratic families, Cao Zhi was good friends with the nobles, Cao Zhang liked to fight, and Cao Chong was very intelligent.

As these people competed for the position of successor, the situation became quite tense, which was very different from Cao Ang's extremely stable position at the beginning.

But Cao Cao could do nothing about it.

His most reliable son was killed by his "sex troubles", and even his wife left him.

Now, there is no talent among his sons that can stand out, and his favorite youngest son is too young, and it will take him more than ten years before he reaches adulthood.

His power is growing now. If he doesn't find a successor who is powerful enough, everything will fall apart after his death.

However, Cao Cao soon had no time to worry about the issue of an heir.

In the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and many heroes attacked him.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu died, the fight between the two Yuans ended, and Yuan Shao became the greatest prince in the world.

At present, there is only one person left in front of Yuan Shao who can stop him from unifying the north and even the world.

Cao Cao.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan and Cao deployed their troops at Guandu, and the two sides confronted each other for a long time.

Yuan Shao's side occupied Hebei, had a large number of soldiers, sufficient food, and a strong financial foundation, so they were fully capable of fighting a protracted war with the enemy.

Cao Cao was based in Henan and his soldiers were fierce, but he was far inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of the number of cavalry and the level of logistics, so he had to fight a quick battle.

What both sides did in the Battle of Guandu was not much different from what happened in history.

The only difference is the battle between the extraordinary powers of both sides.

For this war, Yuan Shao sent a considerable number of immortals, trying to conquer the north in one battle.

On Cao Cao's side, there is only one person with true extraordinary power.

Zhao Shan.

After many years, Zhao Shan appeared in Cao Cao's camp again.

Previously, Zhao Shan interrupted his cooperation with Cao Cao because of Cao Cao's massacre in Xuzhou.

During this period, Cao Cao contacted Zhao Shan many times, and later he came up with his own combat plan against the northern ethnic minorities, including the division, annihilation, and suppression of the ethnic minorities, and finally contacted Zhao Shan.

The turning point of the war occurred in Wuchao.

Yuan Shao had a large number of soldiers and consumed a lot of food and fodder, so food became the top priority.

He placed the food and fodder in Wuchao and sent Chunyu Qiong with 10,000 people to guard it.

On Cao Cao's side, after receiving advice from Yuan Shao's adviser Xu You, he led his troops to launch a surprise attack on Wuchao, successfully broke Chunyu Qiong's defense, and burned a large amount of Yuan Shao's food and grass.

In this war, Zhao Shan had a shocking battle with more than a dozen immortals.

During this period, an interesting conversation took place between the two sides.

The immortals of Yuan Fang were terrified, angry and puzzled about Zhao Shan's behavior of hunting them down.

They believed that they, the immortals, had experienced changes over hundreds of years and were different from the immortals between the Qin and Han dynasties and those who had dealings with foreign races.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, people treated ordinary people as pure cultivation materials without considering other circumstances. They used them when they wanted to use them and killed them when they wanted to kill them.

As for the immortals who fled to the alien races, they became people who ate raw meat and drank blood.

These people not only live together with ordinary people nowadays, but in many cases they even protect their survival.

They have come this far now, and are still holding on for Zhao Shan.

Zhao Shan just found this statement ridiculous.

If this group of people really changed, then why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion happen? What about the civilians who starved to death outside the pond? Why would Zhang Jue rather die than kill the heavens?

So, without further ado, die!

Return to the Yuan-Cao battlefield.

Without food and supplies, Yuan Shao's soldiers became morale-destroying and their ranks split.

Two great generals, Zhang He and Gao Lan, led their troops to surrender to Cao Cao.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yuan Shao led his personal troops back to Hebei, where he died within two years.

His death meant that no one in the entire northern region of the Han Dynasty could rival Cao Cao anymore.
However, the lack of an opponent does not mean that Cao Cao can easily unify the north.

Yuan Shao had a large family and great wealth, and his power was much greater than Cao Cao's.

In fact, although he lost the Battle of Guandu, he still had the upper hand over Cao Cao.

It can be said that if he had not died too soon after the war and had not established his position in time before his death, the war might not have ended so quickly. However, despite Yuan Shao's problems, Yuan Shao and the forces left behind by the Yuan family still took Cao Cao many years to completely resolve the forces left behind by the Yuan family.

At this time, it was already the twelfth year of Jian'an.

Cao Cao led his troops to the north to attack the Wuhuan, and Zhang Liao killed the Wuhuan Chanyu Tadun in battle.

Since then, the Wuhuan gradually became weaker and eventually faded out of the historical stage, while the remaining forces of the Wuhuan were integrated into the Xianbei tribe.

The end of the Wuhuan incident also meant that Cao Cao had completely eliminated the remaining forces of the Yuan family and completely unified the north.

Next, his only target was the south of the empire.

……

After the movie ended, Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they chose a corner in the theater and listened to the audience's comments on the movie.

Five minutes later, both of them had smiles on their faces.

From what I just heard, the response to "Three Kingdoms: Wei" is quite good.

Although Cao Cao's life was not very smooth in the first and middle stages of the movie, he was defeated by Xu Rong, parted ways with Chen Gong, met each other in life and death, and his son died and his wife was separated, but these contents did not make people feel boring, but were very emotional.

As for the two wars in the second half of the movie, they were pure joy.

There are two well-known battles in history where the outnumbered side won. In one battle, Cao Cao personally led the troops, and in another, Zhang Babai charged as the vanguard. The visual effects were all maximized and it looked extremely exciting.

The emotional rhythm of the whole movie, from teasing, to pulling, to release,

"I feel like it should be stable..." Zhou Mo was about to speak, but his mouth was covered by Da Tiantian.

"Don't set a goal too early. Those who can watch the movie at this time are basically true fans, and their reviews of the movie are mostly positive. Wait two more days."

Da Tiantian is very cautious, so cautious that she doesn't want to raise her expectations too high.

Zhou Mo smiled and took her downstairs to buy milk tea.

I had just taken two sips when I heard a discussion about "Three Kingdoms: Wei" not far away.

"I was so happy when I saw Cao Cao's defeat in Wancheng. Dian Wei was actually played by Jiang Wu. Jiang Wen tricked his own brother to death. Zhou Mo is really interesting."

"What a pity! If Prince Long played Cao Ang, Goose City would be complete."

"Hey, there are some things you can't say carelessly. The Dragon Prince can't be on the screen now. Besides, isn't it good that this guy reports people everywhere every day?"

"Hey, I'm just saying."

Hearing this, Da Tiantian gently nudged Zhou Mo with her elbow.

"Hey, you don't really want to put together the cast of "Let the Bullets Fly" in the movie, do you?"

"No, the previous ones were really coincidences. If I really want to put them together, the role of Zhang Xiu should be given to Chen Kun anyway."

"Chen Kun? I remember he applied for the role?"

"Well, he wanted Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu had already been promised to the couple Deng Chao and Sun Li, so he had no choice but to refuse him."

The Lyon man said as he walked down the elevator.

On the way home, Zhou Mo was driving while Da Tiantian kept staring at her phone screen to read netizens' reviews of the movie.

During this time, she seemed to have seen some comments that she found very interesting and wanted to show them to Zhou Mo, but she found that Zhou Mo was concentrating on driving, so she kept looking at Zhou Mo for a while, and then looked at Zhou Mo for a while.

Another twenty minutes passed, when the car entered the yard, she immediately held up her cell phone and placed it in front of Zhou Mo.

"Look, look, there are a lot of comments discussing the topic we talked about before."

Zhou Mo took the phone and took a look at it, then he understood what Da Tiantian meant.

The topic she was talking about was exactly what the immortal from Yuan Shao's side said to Zhao Shan during the Battle of Guandu.

There are hints in the movie that those immortals are indeed just as they say, and are relatively good among all the immortals in the world.

This is what is shown in the movie. After two hundred years, the group of immortals gradually split into many groups.

Zhao Shan's attitude towards immortals, no matter which faction you belong to, is always the same word.

kill.

Zhou Mo roughly scanned the comments and found that few viewers expressed disapproval of Zhao Shan's behavior pattern.

Most of the audience saw it clearly.

What the immortals change is ultimately just the appearance.

As long as the basic setting that "immortals need mortals as materials for cultivation" does not change, the nature of the immortals "eating people" will not change.

To immortals, mortals are nothing more than ants transformed into something like lambs.

When raising lambs on a daily basis, shepherds will protect the safety of the lambs. In rare cases, they will even develop feelings for some special lambs.

But in most cases, shepherds raise lambs for eating.

Since it is for eating, let’s not worry about whether it is grilled, shabu-shabued, or even made into kebabs.

There is no essential difference.

However, the audience discussed more about Zhao Shan’s own condition or mental state.

"I strongly suspect that Zhao Shan has become numb. She has been killing people for more than three hundred years. The immortals can never kill them all. Not only can they never kill them all, but they have also developed new tricks. In the end, they have bound her in reverse (the aristocratic family is bound to the fate of the Han Dynasty, the fate of the Han Dynasty is bound to the sky, the imperial seal, the sky and the imperial seal are bound to Zhao Shan). If it were me, I would go crazy too."

"The key is that the Han Dynasty actually had a grudge against Zhao Shan, because Liu Bang was one of the forces that destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty did a good job, Zhao Shan, as the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty, had to protect the people of the Han Dynasty, so she must have had complicated feelings."

"Zhao Shan is too lonely. He has lived for more than 300 years, and all the partners he has met and all the collaborations he has had have ended up going their separate ways.

Emperor Xuan of Han, the only person who had lived among the common people and could talk to her, fell into depression after Xu Pingjun's death. "

After Zhou Mo read the comments roughly, he nodded.

"good."

"Not bad?" Da Tiantian looked at Zhou Mo in surprise. "No, the audience's first reaction was that Zhao Shan was numb. Just like what Xun Ge'er said, if you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence. You actually think it's okay?"

"I do think it's okay. At least no one says that Zhao Shan is like Batman, a psychopath.

This is also why I had to set Zhao Shan as someone who is always decisive in killing.

Let me ask you a question. If I really change the plot and make Zhao Shan hesitate because of the words of the Yuan family immortals, how do you think the audience will react now? "

Da Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and her intuition told her that the answer to this question must be no.

If Zhao Shan really changed, the audience would definitely curse him.

but why?
"What's the reason?"

"The reason is that a character should behave like a character. If an old monster who has lived for four hundred years really changes his attitude because of a few words from the other party, this is not called being receptive to good advice, but rather an unstable mind, and he has lived a dog's life.

For a character like Zhao Shan who is decisive in killing, even if I arrange a plot for her to die in battle, I will never let her hesitate because of a few words from others.

Hesitation means the character is broken. If Zhao Shan’s character is broken, then the IP of “Xianfan” can say goodbye.”
