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

Chapter 413: Since Yu is born, why is Liang born?

Zhuge Liang is alive.

Liu Bei is alive.

This Shu Han army, tasked with reviving the Han dynasty, survived.

They may have different backgrounds, different thoughts, and different beliefs.

Everything is different.

They were able to come together.

It was simply because of a pure and fervent ideal.

A benevolent and virtuous era brings prosperity to all people!

It was this bond that brought them together.

Liu Bei's ideals assembled a constellation of stars.

If the previous "Three Kingdoms" series felt like an ensemble drama...

Now, it seems, a clear main perspective has emerged.

These were the heroes of Shu Han.

They are united by the bond of the "King of Benevolence".

A perspective completely different from that of the Eastern Wu and Northern Wei.

Eastern Wu was a hereditary aristocracy, with high-ranking officials and nobles.

The Northern Wei dynasty was founded by a commoner who rose to power and dominated the world.

Only Liu Bei rose from humble beginnings and governed the world with benevolence and virtue.

Their ideals and beliefs, and this group of people, resonate most deeply with others.

When filming reached this point, Gao Xinxin knew that the Shu Han forces in the new Three Kingdoms had come to life.

The ruler of Shu Han, who rose from humble beginnings and endured a life of hardship even in middle age.

At this moment, Gao Xinxin murmured.

"That's the charm of the Three Kingdoms period."

Now, Gao Xinxin is looking at Zhuge Kongming.

He not only survived on his own.

He also revitalized these heroes of Shu Han.

At this moment, Gao Xinxin murmured.

"I want to take a photo. As a souvenir, and as a promotional photo for 'The New Three Kingdoms'."

"Agreed!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei responded immediately.

Their doubts about Li Yun's ability to emulate Zhuge Liang vanished instantly.

Simultaneously.

They also completely immersed themselves in their roles as actors.

They are no longer just a fragment of history, a famous figure or general; they followed Liu Bei, this benevolent ruler, for their own reasons.

It's no longer a label, but a real, living person.

People who come together because of their ideals.

The filming of "New Three Kingdoms" is progressing very quickly. After Li Yun joined the cast, the filming schedule became incredibly fast.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Yu's scenes with the Eastern Wu were also being filmed.

They were also curious about the play on this side.

"I heard that the 'Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage' scene was filmed quite well."

The person in charge of shooting from the Dongwu angle was Xie Min, who was Gao Xinxin's assistant.

From his perspective, it's a pity that the actor who played Zhou Gongjin would have been quite good at portraying Zhuge Kongming.

He was gentle and refined, handsome and dashing, with a feather fan and silk turban, exuding a heroic and vigorous aura.

"It's none of my business if you're good at performing."

Lu Yi spoke casually at this moment, seemingly unconcerned about it.

Tomorrow I'll be acting opposite that Zhuge Liang.

Lu Yi also realized that as an actor, his only opponent is himself.

When they're really into acting, nobody cares about anything else.

"I have long heard that when you were living in seclusion in Longzhong, you compared yourself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. Is this really true?" At this moment, Zhang Zhao, a nobody from Jiangdong, looked down at Zhuge Kongming from a high position, all because he had heard that this Kongming was very pretentious.

He compared himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi.

"Indeed." At this moment, Kongming smiled slightly and said, "That was just a common metaphor I use in my daily life."

"Hahaha!"

The person around burst into laughter.

They then launched an attack on Kongming.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang debated with the Confucian scholars and was in no way inferior.

The scenes featuring Zhuge Liang are all filmed in a single, continuous shot, which is truly breathtaking.

This civil official, who came to Eastern Wu alone to persuade them, indeed managed to subdue everyone.

Unlike Lü Bu's many rough and rugged scenes, as a civil official, his roles were basically filled with a lot of literary scenes.

He truly has the demeanor of Zhuge Liang.

Filming is progressing very smoothly.

Lu Su, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang.

Today's shoot is of the scene where the three first meet, which is also a very important scene, and Gao Xinxin is filming it herself.

"Are they all done with their makeup and coming out?"

"Um"

"Let them come."

Lu Yi's image, resembling the gentle and refined Zhou Gongjin, is quite handsome.

And when Li Yun's Kongming appeared.

His handsome appearance and refined temperament were in no way inferior to Lu Yi's portrayal of Zhou Gongjin, even though Lu Yi is an actor who started out as an "idol".

Their looks are the epitome of beauty, proven by countless women.

He is now at the peak of his life, in his thirties.

But when he and Li Yun were in the same frame.

"Wearing a feather fan and a silk turban, displaying heroic spirit"—I don't know who to use this phrase to describe, but anyway, neither of them is wrong.

Chen Haohao, who plays Xiao Qiao, now has her eyes on Li Yun.

No, the story of the Three Kingdoms can't be this strange. Gao Xinxin next to her had a strange look in her eyes.

What's even stranger is Lu Yi, who looks at Li Yun, that Kongming, in front of him.

It felt completely natural; we hadn't even gone over the script or started filming yet.

He seemed to blend seamlessly into the ancient costume backdrop.

It's hard to tell whether he's acting or truly living in this place, in this era.

"This is your script."

"It's alright, Director Gao. I memorized my lines last night and mentally rehearsed the scenes countless times." Lu Yi looked at Li Yun and said calmly, "If my opponent is alright, then let's begin. No problem."

"and you."

At this moment, Gao Xinxin asked Lu Su, who was standing next to her, "Okay, that's not important."

Lu Su is really not important.

The three of them were discussing wine.

The only important ones are Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.

So.

let's start.

"Cao Cao holds the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords. His power is immense and unstoppable. If we fight him, we will surely be defeated; if we surrender, we will be safe. I have made up my mind. Tomorrow, after I meet with the Marquis of Wu, I will send an envoy to surrender."

"Mr. Kongming, please."

Kongming then sat down, looking at Zhou Gongjin with a natural and somewhat lazy and relaxed air.

Meanwhile, Lu Su, standing to the side, played the role of the villain.

"My lord, you are mistaken. The foundation of Jiangdong has been built over three generations; how can it be handed over to others? The fate of the nation now rests on your shoulders, General. Why speak such cowardly words?"

"The six counties of Jiangdong have countless lives at stake. If war breaks out, countless lives will be lost. If I advocate war, won't the old and young of Jiangdong all resent me?"

"Otherwise, given your heroic nature, General, and the formidable defenses of Eastern Wu, Cao Cao might not have succeeded!"

At this moment, Lu Su and Zhou Yu finished their performance of the red and white cop roles.

Kongming figured it out.

"Ha ha."

"Why are you smiling, sir?"

"I laugh at Zijing for being out of touch with reality."

"Why are you laughing at me, sir?" Lu Su was dumbfounded; how did he end up being laughed at?

Kongming smiled slightly.

The battle ended directly with "Ode to the Bronze Sparrow Terrace".

"Two platforms stand on the left and right, with jade dragons and golden phoenixes."

"The two Qiao sisters, one in the east and one in the west, are like shrimp and salamanders in the vast sky."

In the midst of their lighthearted conversation, Zhou Yu's selfish desires were stirred up, igniting his anger.

Getting into character creates a kind of chemical reaction.

Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao.

Chen Haohao and Lu Yi.

They usually have a good relationship, and at least in this drama, they have developed feelings of 'love' for each other.

Even after you're out of the scene, this feeling will disappear, but at this moment, the feeling is definitely there.

Therefore, Zhou Gongjin's "anger" was also genuine.

Even though he, as an actor, knew it was just a provocation, as Zhou Gongjin, he was still driven by anger.

This is acting.

Zhou Yu was led astray by Zhuge Liang.

It's not just about his role.

Lu Yi as an actor.

Li Yun also got caught up in the rhythm.

While acting just now, Lu Yi felt that he was completely following Li Yun's rhythm.

The rhythm is off.

Li Yun messed things up.

He originally intended to stir up trouble.

The rhythm, however, became chaotic and was led by others.

Lu Yi felt something was off.

Shock.

impossible.

As a middle-aged actor.

They were actually suppressed in this respect.

This alone is enough to be shocking.

They were not only suppressed, but also guided.

This kind of bewitching feeling.

It had been lingering in Lu Yi's mind ever since.

He originally wanted to take the lead himself.

At the very least, people need to know who the better actors are.

But I was guided by the rhythm and emotions of my acting.

But there's one thing Lu Yi has to admit.

The feeling of acting opposite Li Yun.

It's truly amazing.

It could even be described as exhilarating.

No wonder people used to say that Li Yun gave off a very strange vibe.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Lu Yi then became immersed in this feeling.

Acting opposite Li Yun.

Whether it was the "borrowing arrows with straw boats" strategy or the "borrowing the east wind to burn down the allied camps" strategy.

Everyone gradually got into character.

They gradually started filming.

Zhou Gongjin.

Why?

Why is he always able to keep up with my pace?

I was clearly the senior.

I am clearly an actor.

He should be much better than him.

But why is it like this now?

Just as Lu Yi looked up at Li Yun's face...

I saw his face, which still bore the mark of Zhuge Liang.

He suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.

This jealousy stemmed from Li Yun's talent.

Only talent can achieve this.

Such excellence.

Even now, he is still Zhuge Kongming.

He did not return to his original state as Li Yun.

Lu Yi.

This is Zhou Gongjin.

He deeply felt the gap and disparity between talents.

Damn it.

But why is it so comfortable to act with him?

"Zhuge Liang possesses the power to seize the very essence of heaven and earth, and his abilities are beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts. If we keep him alive, he will surely become a formidable enemy of Jiangdong in the future!"

Zhou Gongjin's expression at this moment did not seem to be an act.

The personal emotions incorporated into this are at least 70% to 80%.

It was seven or eight parts of natural performance plus three parts acting skills.

Let's leave it to this strategist who admired each other during the Allied Wars.

Now, however, he is filled with resentment.

After all, the two sides were no longer friendly after the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Moreover, Sun Quan even wanted to use his younger sister, Sun Shangxiang, to lure and kill Liu Bei.

It's all about power struggles.

Compared to Zhou Yu's exasperation.

Zhuge Liang's portrayal was incredibly skillful and adept.

Li Yun could sense that Kongming's control of the situation was exactly as expected.

Every development in the current situation of the Three Kingdoms is within his expectations.

That feeling of having everything under control.

That feeling of being intelligent and sharp.

Li Yun was quite captivated.

This is what it feels like to be Zhuge Liang, the famous prime minister of the Three Kingdoms period.

I'm fucking invincible, damn it!

Having wisdom is such a beautiful thing.

And then there's Zhuge Liang's refined tastes.

He is a refined person.

A long river ode.

It was played by Li Yun himself.

This is dedicated to Zhou Yu.

The music was wrong, and Zhou Yu noticed.

"This Li Yun can actually play the guqin?" Director Gao Xinxin was watching Zhuge Kongming playing the guqin at this moment.

So elegant.

So elegant.

This is what it means to be completely immersed in a character.

The skills possessed by Zhuge Liang.

Li Yun also possessed the same.

It's truly confusing and hard to tell the difference.

Was he Zhuge Liang or Li Yun?

I can't tell the difference.

He's an actor.

Or is it the character itself?

"How could you play my Long River Chant?" At this moment, Lu Yi also portrayed Zhou Yu's weak and heartbroken feelings.

It wasn't just because he was hit by an arrow.

It was also because of being repeatedly outmaneuvered by Zhuge Liang that feelings developed between them.

For actor Lu Yi...

It was also because I was repeatedly led by Li Yun.

The resulting feeling of astonishment.

The fit between the character and the actor.

That's how the current results came about.

A weakened Zhou Yu.

Listening to my final, resounding voice.

"This is Liang's masterpiece in response to Gongjin."

"How tragic it is that a great hero's ambitions are thwarted!"

At this moment, Zhuge Liang, who was playing the guqin, spoke calmly.

This day and this moment is also the last time I will see Gongjin.

Zhou Gongjin's scenes are about to wrap up.

Filming for the entire Three Kingdoms series is already more than halfway complete.

At this moment, Lu Yi lay in Xiao Qiao's arms like a sickly beauty.

That feeling of weakness.

It was reflected on Lu Yi's face.

Weakness and pain.

I also ask Heaven what it feels like.

This was his last performance.

People say that I and Zhuge Liang are like two heroes vying for supremacy, irreconcilable like fire and water, but who would have thought that he could understand me so well.

The implied meaning of "Singing Along the Long River".

Each has their own ambitions and serves their own master.

How could we not fight for it?

Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?

This segment is entirely Lu Yi's solo performance.

The final saying is: "Since Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang born?"

The emotions that are immersed in.

It's just like a mighty river flowing endlessly.

It is in no way inferior to the one-man show of the old Three Kingdoms.

This left Sha Yi, who was standing nearby, completely stunned.

"Everyone says Lu Yi relies on his looks, but his acting skills are actually quite impressive!"

Sha Yi asked himself a question.

Even without Li Yun's involvement.

Can he really compete with Lu Yi for Zhuge Liang's position?

It seems a bit far-fetched.

"Exceptional performance! Have you noticed that ever since he acted opposite Li Yun, our Zhou Gongjin has been performing exceptionally well!" Sha Yi said, looking at Gao Xinxin.

He was quite stunned.

Then Director Gao glanced at Sha Yi.

"Didn't you notice? Whoever is acting opposite Li Yun has improved their acting skills to an explosive level. Not to mention Zhou Yu, even Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are all being led by Li Yun's rhythm."

Because Li Yun seemed to be Zhuge Liang reincarnated.

The rhythm he set off.

It makes everyone unable to resist.

It was only then that Sha Yi discovered his junior brother.

His strengths.

He single-handedly dictated the pace of Shu Han's power.

As an actor.

Even award-winning actors have to follow his lead.

Zhou Gongjin's scenes have wrapped up filming.

But Lu Yi was still sick.

This illness seems to be related to the role.

Weakness and tuberculosis.

Perhaps I was too immersed in it.

Perhaps after Gongjin died, he also wanted to compete with Zhuge Liang.

Despite being weak and feverish, Lu Yi arrived at the film set.

How about it, Li Yun? This is my final expression of deep affection.

As a middle-aged actor.

I also have my own reflections and pride.

I won't just let you lead me by the rhythm.

At this moment, Lu Yi wanted to watch a play where Zhuge Liang came to offer his condolences.

Come see your arch-enemy mourning you.

It's also a very wonderful experience.

But it is clear that Gongjin, though dead in the play, is now...

But Lu Yi now.

Yet one can clearly feel that profound emotion.

It hasn't left me yet.

Not yet.

"With Zhou Yu gone, Jingzhou has lost a formidable enemy. You should be happy, sir, so why be sad?"

"The statement that Zhou Gongjin was jealous of talent and ability is incorrect."

At this moment, Li Yun's Zhuge Liang's eyes revealed a sense of vicissitude: "Zhou Gongjin was a man of exceptional elegance and refinement, a scholar-general of his generation. Now, his ambitions remain unfulfilled, and he has fallen like a star. How can this not cause all the heroes of the world to grieve?"

Lu Yi was watching from the side.

My heart trembled.

My hands were shaking.

It kept shaking.

Because of Zhuge Liang right in front of me.

He was also showing his true feelings.

Alas!

Zhuge Liang then made a decision that went against his lord's wishes.

He was going to Jiangdong to pay his respects to Zhou Yu.

This matter was met with unanimous opposition from the powerful ministers of Shu Han.

Only if Zhao Zilong volunteers can the general be guaranteed safety.

He stood silently by the Prime Minister's side, protecting him.

Liu Bei initially objected slightly, but later came to understand Kongming.

On the Eastern Wu side, Lu Su, as the new strategist, also refused to do so. Originally, Cao Cao had immediately mobilized 30 troops to march south upon hearing of Zhou Yu's death.

If Zhuge Liang were to come to Eastern Wu, this great strategist would die there.

Then Liu Bei really wanted to fight him to the death.

The Eastern Wu sent an envoy to persuade Zhuge Liang, but to no avail.

And Eastern Wu.

Gan Ning and his men were sharpening their knives, ready to pounce.

We are just waiting for Zhuge Liang to arrive so we can kill him and avenge Gongjin.

"The entire Eastern Wu hates you now, yet you still dare to go alone. You really aren't afraid of death, Mr. Kongming."

"With your intelligence and rationality, you should know that this line of work is extremely dangerous."

At this moment, Li Yun asked Mr. Kongming, who was standing next to him.

Or perhaps I'm asking myself.

That's amazing!

Zhuge Liang, who knew that death was a natural cycle and never shed a tear after his parents and uncles died when he was young, understood this.

Now, however, he is willing to let his impulses override his reason.

To go to this perilous situation where life is at stake.

Since there were also signs of goodwill towards Eastern Wu.

But there's no need for him to personally take action.

"Is that so? Perhaps I will die this time. Then I will have failed my lord and be unable to carry on the legacy of benevolence and virtue for him." Kongming said softly at this moment.

But he still decided to go.

A young man of reason.

I've known since childhood that people use wisdom to understand emotions.

Now they are dominated by emotions.

Li Yun could sense the emotions welling up inside him.

The emotions that belong to Kongming.

It suppressed reason.

wisdom.

At the memorial hall of Zhou Gongjin.

Kongming almost died.

If Zhao Zilong hadn't been quick-witted and agile, he probably would have died here.

At this moment, Kongming stood in front of the mourning hall.

There was no sense of looking at a nemesis in his eyes.

Instead, it's an act of mourning for a friend.

"Upon hearing of your passing, rivers and lakes seem to stand still."

"Upon hearing of your passing, the stars and moon have lost their light."

"From this day forward, true friends will be hard to find in this world!"

True friends are hard to find!

"Gongjin, take care!"

In the midst of the chaos, Kongming embraced Zhou Yu's coffin and wept bitterly, with the camera zooming in on Kongming's face.

The entire film crew fell silent.

They fought each other their entire lives, becoming sworn enemies.

Yet, they were so sorrowful and grief-stricken when the other died.

A faint sob.

It wasn't just the soldiers of Eastern Wu.

Even the crew members, and even the makeup artists who didn't know much about the Three Kingdoms period.

I can also understand the resonance of this feeling.

And sadness.

Gao Xinxin was moved.

This is a showcase of Li Yun's acting skills, and also a showcase of Kong Ming's acting skills.

This is perhaps the romance of the Three Kingdoms period.

He wept bitterly at the enemy's funeral.

Romance that belongs only to men.

Li Yun at this moment.

A surge of intense emotions welled up within me.

How many true friends can one have in a lifetime?

Different stances.

But their close friend, who understood each other, died.

sad.

It just flows out naturally.

That is, me as Li Yun.

I probably wouldn't do something so "stupid".

But Kongming did indeed do it.

Because true friends are hard to find.

Only Lu Yi was watching from the side.

It felt like going back to the beginning.

With a feather fan and silk turban, Gongjin exuded a heroic and vigorous aura.

Gentle and refined like jade.

"I hope you will lend Gongjin a hand and together we can defeat the traitor Cao."

"If you do not despise me, I, Liang, am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."

Gongjin.

To have a true friend in life is like this.

I have no regrets about dying.
