Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

Looking at the ruins before him, Sun Jian lamented, "The traitor Dong Zhuo has wreaked havoc in the capital, bringing calamity to the entire land."

"The four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty turned to ashes overnight. Perhaps this was the fate of the Han Dynasty."

Cheng Pu suddenly pointed to the high platform and said, "My lord, look."

As the group reached the high platform, Cheng Pu picked something up from under the plaque.

Sun Jian asked, "What is this?"

Cheng Pu exclaimed in shock, "This is the Imperial Seal of the State used by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"When I was young, my father mentioned that the Imperial Seal of the State was engraved with eight characters: 'Having received the mandate of Heaven, may its longevity be everlasting.'"

......

This scene went quite smoothly. In Xu Ying's opinion, the performances of the actors were commendable, neither particularly good nor bad.

Anyway, it's watchable.

This plot is probably a bit upsetting to watch.

The original text says that at night a soldier reported that "five-colored light rose from the well south of the palace".

Sun Jian became suspicious and immediately ordered his men to light torches, then led his generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to investigate.

At the bottom of the well, in the silt, lay the body of a palace maid. A brocade pouch was tied around her neck. The pouch was wrapped in brocade and, despite being soaked in water, had not rotted.

This contains the Imperial Seal of the State. After being enlightened by Cheng Pu, Sun Jian prepared to feign illness and return to Jiangdong.

Perhaps it was because the screenwriter wanted to showcase the intelligence of young Sun Quan that Sun Quan was given the explanation.

Although Xu Ying didn't understand, he chose to respect it, since he didn't have much say in the matter.

Filming continues.

......

Cheng Pu knelt on the ground, holding the imperial seal in his hands: "My lord, today Heaven bestows this imperial seal upon you, signifying that you bear the mandate of Heaven to be the supreme ruler!"

Sun Jian excitedly accepted the imperial seal and placed it in the hands of young Sun Quan. Before young Sun Quan could even get a firm grip on it, Sun Ce, who was standing behind him, snatched it away.

Sun Ce looked excited and exclaimed, "Congratulations, Father! You can become Emperor!"

......

Xu Ying, who was drinking water, couldn't help but burst out laughing. He really couldn't hold back his laughter at Sha Yi's expression.

It must be said that Sha Yi is truly talented in comedy.

Every move he makes is a source of laughter; no matter how you look at it, Sha Yi's expressions always have a comedic element.

"Card!"

"Why did you laugh?"

Fan Yulin laughed and said, "Director, Teacher Sha Yi's smile while holding the imperial seal is a bit too radiant."

"I have a feeling that Teacher Shayi is about to use his Sunflower Acupuncture Technique any second now."

"Hahaha......"

Upon hearing this, the actors watching couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gao Xixi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Put away your smile and be a little more serious!"

Xu Ying muttered under his breath, "Teacher Sha Yi must really want to be the crown prince. No one can say no to the Imperial Seal of the State."

His words were overheard by Xu Wenguang, who laughed heartily, "You've spoken Sun Ce's mind!"

Gao Xixi shouted through a megaphone, "Sun Ce, stop smiling so obviously. I know you really want to be the crown prince."

Sha Yi smiled awkwardly. It wasn't entirely his fault; the lines were indeed quite funny.

When he looked toward the director, he met Xu Ying's encouraging gaze, which immediately boosted his confidence.

We can't let people look down on us.

Then the second attempt began, and this time there were no problems; it went smoothly.

......

After leaving the stage, Sha Yi didn't bother to remove her makeup and walked straight towards Xu Ying.

Xu Ying was chatting and laughing with Chen Hao when he saw Sha Yi approaching. He asked, "Teacher Sha Yi, have you finished filming today?"

"Filming is finished." Sha Yi flashed his signature smile and, speaking in a thick Northeastern accent, first thanked Xu Yingfang for his encouragement.

Then Sha Yi said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "It's really disgusting. After performing in a comedy, there's no going back."

Chen Hao could understand Sha Yi's feelings very well. After playing the role of "Wan Ren Mi" (a popular character in Chinese folklore), she didn't even have a name anymore. Everyone who saw her would just say "Wan Ren Mi".

Xu Ying understands how Sha Yi is feeling right now, which is why many actors want to keep breaking out of their comfort zones.

The tragedy of an actor is being held hostage by roles, defined by the market, and nailed to a single character, unable to escape the cage of labels for life.

This is Sha Yi's current situation.

Isn't Sha Yi handsome? Of course he is, how could the most handsome guy at the PLA Academy of Arts not be handsome?

Sha Yi originally intended to be a leading man in serious dramas, but since he chose comedy, he has been destined to drift further and further away from good looks, mainly because Sha Yi can't seem to get back on track.

From "The Story of the Cooking Squad" and "Urban Men and Women" to "My Own Swordsman," Sha Yi has filmed many comedies, and it will be difficult for him to switch to serious dramas now.

Xu Ying didn't know how to advise Sha Yi, because he didn't have such troubles yet.

He could only comfort him, saying, "Brother Sha Yi, relax. Maybe in a few years, you'll still find comedy to be the easiest and most relaxing to perform."

"Maybe," Sha Yi shook his head. "I still want to try again to see if I can change my business model."

"You're so handsome, don't end up like me and go into comedy. Once your image is fixed, it's really hard to turn back."

After saying that, Sha Yi left.

After Sha Yi had walked away, Chen Hao hurriedly reminded him, "What Sha Yi said makes some sense, but it's not entirely true. How can an actor have good opportunities every time? You're still young, so you should seize every opportunity you have."

"Okay, dear sister."

"Great, I'm leaving now. You wait for the director."

After Chen Hao left, Xu Ying squatted down to the side, smoking and waiting.

He didn't have to wait long; Gao Xixi arrived after explaining the follow-up arrangements.

There are no night shoots today, so the actors and directors don't need to work overtime.

Filming is now on track and there are no major problems.

"Director Gao, tonight..."

Before Xu Ying could speak, Gao Xixi interrupted, "I've already arranged dinner. Let's go, they'll go back and change their clothes, we'll go over first."

"Consider this a welcome dinner for you. I paid for it out of my own pocket, haha."

"Alright, but I have to arrange the drinks, otherwise I'm not going."

"You little brat, fine, you arrange the drinks."

Because they needed to get some liquor, the two left the film studio and returned to the hotel first. Xu Ying went to the car to get some Moutai, which he had brought from Guizhou Province.

As a native of Guizhou province, how could he not know whether the outsider's claims were genuine or not?

Seeing Xu Ying's BMW, which looked brand new, Gao Xixi exclaimed in surprise, "I remember the 'My Chief and My Regiment' production team didn't pay much, and you've already bought a car?"

"It's not mine, it belongs to a junior sister," Xu Ying grinned.

Gao Xixi acted as if it was the right thing to do and didn't ask any more questions. The two of them took a taxi with their drinks and went straight to Juxianzhai Restaurant on Film City Road.

Xu Ying originally thought they were the fastest, but when they arrived at the private room, Chen Jianbing, Yu Hewei, and Ni Dahong had already arrived ahead of them.

"We went back to the hotel to get the wine. Xiao Xu insisted that he had to pay for it, or he wouldn't come back." Gao Xixi said with a grin, pointing to a bottle of Moutai in Xu Ying's hand.

Yu Hewei's eyes lit up, and he said, "Wow, Maozi, it looks like we have to have a drink today."
