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

Chapter 446, The Most Lu Bu of Lu Bu?

The new Three Kingdoms has begun.

This is an epic saga of the Three Kingdoms.

While opinions on this TV series are mixed, there's no denying that it's incredibly captivating.

It's eye-catching enough.

How could the Four Great Classical Novels not attract attention?

Also airing at the same time was Scarlet Heart, and then Palace.

The idols of two popular actresses, leading the wave of female protagonists in palace dramas.

"This marks the beginning of a new era and the end of an old one. The CCTV circle, in the field of TV dramas, will eventually become a thing of the past. We have captured the young people and the future. Those who do not strive for progress will eventually fall behind and become rotten."

At this moment, Tang Min announced the matter in her office.

It's something that should be taken for granted.

but.

The twilight of an old era.

It's not necessarily that weak.

The Three Kingdoms series doesn't have a fast pace, as it has a full 100 episodes.

This is a vast epic story.

It's actually a bit bulky.

People's appreciation of art should change with the pace of life.

These extremely long TV series, judging from their content, can be broadcast over multiple seasons.

However...

The TV series "Three Kingdoms" does indeed allow viewers to selectively choose the pace of their viewing.

Some people enjoy the image of Hua Xiong warming wine, or the three heroes battling Lü Bu.

Some people like the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Some people like to flood the seven armies.

Each chapter and each rhythm has its own favorite characters and fans.

This is also where the Three Kingdoms had the greatest advantage.

Whether it's a new character or an old one, each has its own unique charm.

They each played their part in history.

"An epic tale of a heroic age"

At this very moment, Wu Hai was at home watching a TV series, looking forward to the next episode airing.

Although, in terms of the entire forum, a small majority of people chose to watch Scarlet Heart.

Keep in mind that this is a forum geared towards men.

So many people choose to watch fast-paced period dramas.

Especially female viewers.

At that moment, Wu Hai suddenly felt as if he were standing in the afterglow of the old world.

He doesn't understand why idol dramas are so appealing.

I don't understand what's so attractive about those handsome men and beautiful women with poor acting skills.

He may indeed be getting old.

And as you get older, you become a bit stubborn.

"No, I'm not even 40 yet, how can I be old? I just like the stories of the Three Kingdoms, that's all."

At this moment, he couldn't wait to see the Oath of the Peach Garden.

When the TV series started, the theme song immediately gave him a sense of grandeur and epic scale.

This gave him a different feeling after watching the old Three Kingdoms series many times.

The budget clearly improved the image quality to a higher level.

A high-definition version of the Three Kingdoms.

The last story of the Three Kingdoms began with the Oath of the Peach Garden.

Is the pace faster or slower this time?

Just as he was thinking.

The TV series has already started.

It doesn't start with the Oath of the Peach Garden, but rather with an introduction to the historical background.

Everyone knows it by heart, does it need an introduction?

This angle of approach is somewhat puzzling.

Why start with such a familiar place?

This is a place that's been talked about to death.

That was Wu Hai's original idea, but it turned out to be a peasant uprising from the very beginning. Those skinny, dark-skinned peasants were carrying farm tools and picks.

He was wearing a yellow headscarf on his head.

They charged toward the fully armed officers and soldiers.

He roared hoarsely.

To attempt such a futile effort.

It's useless, that's all.

While the heroes and valiant warriors were chatting and laughing, these emaciated Yellow Turban peasants had already perished under their swords.

Amidst their lighthearted conversation, these heroes and valiant men were contemplating how to exchange the heads of these traitors before them for wine.

Traitor?

At this moment, Wu Hai looked at those emaciated Yellow Turban rebels.

Watching them rush to their deaths with rudimentary weapons.

There was a feeling of discomfort.

Many of my longings and expectations were extinguished at that moment.

Heroes in troubled times.

Those are heroes, but in this era, most people are just dirt.

Humans are like grass, mere ants, what difference is there between their lives and those of plants?

The epic, magnificent scene I had imagined was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water.

Late Han Dynasty.

The end of an era when the dynasty was about to collapse.

A chaotic era of widespread suffering and despair.

"The Blue Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

With a command from Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army, the mortals of this era, like ants, let out their final lament. This was the last cry that ordinary people could utter.

A sound of despair.

This is the new Three Kingdoms.

It seems that it has indeed made some differences from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

It took twenty minutes to present the story of the ants in troubled times.

These are tiny specks of dust from a chaotic world.

Too insignificant.

These dust particles.

As a result, most viewers of the Three Kingdoms period would not have paid attention to this matter.

There are too many heroes like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who were deeply loyal to each other; Guan Yu, who was unparalleled in bravery and killed Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm; Cao Cao, who would rather betray the world than let my sword fail me; Yuan Shao, who was ambitious but lacked talent; Dong Zhuo, who was cruel and held the emperor hostage to command the princes; Lü Bu, who had many adoptive fathers; Zhuge Liang, who was unparalleled in wisdom; and Zhao Zilong, who rode a white horse and wielded a silver spear.

There are so many likable and memorable characters.

There is only one type of person who is not remembered.

"Yellow Turban Rebels".

They often appear in the background of various heroes.

Anyone with even a little merit had the military achievement of "suppressing the Yellow Turban rebels" in their early years.

Those heroes and valiant men almost all used the Yellow Turban rebels to gain merit.

Those backdrops labeled "ordinary people".

The tragic story of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was told in just twenty minutes.

At this moment, Wu Hai felt a tightness in his chest—you have to understand, these Yellow Turban rebels, their existence was so insignificant. In the end, they didn't even live to be recognized as people with names and surnames.

The Yellow Turban Army has completely faded into the dust and ashes of history.

Nothing was left but humble ashes. That is why, no matter what kind of Three Kingdoms story it is, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is always omitted.

I won't waste too much space describing it, because it seems that, in most people's understanding...

This part is completely unnecessary.

At first, Wu Hai did indeed find it somewhat strange.

But now, it seems like I'm starting to realize it.

I kind of think so.

This is a real world, a real world with heroes and ordinary people.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion? What nonsense is that?"

At this moment, Teacher Liu, who was watching TV at home, was somewhat astonished by the scene before him.

He originally thought that "New Three Kingdoms" would keep up with the times, speed up the pace, and remove some unnecessary and familiar elements.

As a result, the Yellow Turban Rebellion alone was performed for twenty minutes.

The blue sky is dead; the yellow sky shall rise.

I came here to see the epic tales of heroes.

Why are you looking at these farmers?

"As expected, this new 'Three Kingdoms' is beyond saving."

Now, Teacher Liu gave his own conclusion.

When he read about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he even felt sluggish and wanted to sleep.

The visuals are more refined.

It's a drama.

Oh.

At this moment.

The two Li brothers also watched the Yellow Turban Rebellion for twenty minutes.

To be honest, they didn't have high expectations for "New Three Kingdoms". No matter what, the idea of ​​"favoring the past and belittling the present" will always be at play in their minds.

Memories are always embellished.

"The dialogue uses a lot of plain language, which reduces the weight and depth of literary classics, but this also lowers the barrier to entry for viewers."

Li Mo pondered for a moment.

He declined to comment on this point.

After all, in a sense, lowering the barrier to entry for watching movies is not necessarily a bad thing.

Not a particularly bad change.

However, Li Yuxuan's reaction at this moment was much more excited. As a fan of the Three Kingdoms, he became very interested in this.

"This production team definitely knows the Three Kingdoms! They know it very, very well. I'm starting to get interested."

In times of chaos, heroes rise up.

Three powers vie for supremacy; who will end this chaotic era?

"I told you, the pacing of your plot was really off. The original script wasn't supposed to be like this." Yang Xiaoming looked at Gao Xinxin beside him, his tone tinged with complaint. Now, this edited version has been released and broadcast.

The entire rhythm has changed.

A pace even slower than the previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

It started with the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

If we're talking about him...

They'll definitely get impatient.

Have you read my "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

"No, I've been incredibly busy lately, and I also have to go have tea with my seniors."

Yang Xiaoming only belatedly realized that he should pay his respects to his seniors, and he only learned about the matter after hearing the feedback online. Nowadays, the internet makes it so convenient to monitor public opinion, unlike before when we were always slow to react.

Although Gao Xinxin felt that this approach was meaningless to veteran artists who truly cared about art.

I want them to shut up and stop talking.

You present them with outstanding works to win them over.

Make them submit.

What they want is actually quite simple.

"Since you haven't seen it, you have no right to speak."

"To be honest, the original script didn't include any scenes about the Yellow Turban Rebellion. How did they end up being added?" Yang Xiaoming asked, frowning.

Yes.

Originally, there weren't any heroes in the Yellow Turban Army; they were all just background figures.

In the grand stage of the future, they will all be nothing more than the achievements of heroes.

When did I first notice them?

Yes.

When I saw Li Yun.

Why does this era, this chaotic world, need saving, and why does it need truly wise and virtuous governance?

In this dead age.

Overturn the old aristocratic families.

Live a heroic and brilliant life.

Heroes of the Three Kingdoms period.

At this moment, Gao Xinxin said.

To paraphrase one of his classic lines: Let the bullets fly a little longer.

"In chaotic times, people are like ants, as insignificant as blades of grass. Seeing such chaos, how could I possibly remain inactive?"

"A true man, living between heaven and earth, how can he remain depressed and subservient to others for long?"

The two personalities of Lü Bu and Zhuge Liang.

Like a final burst of energy before death, it returned to Li Yun's side.

Come and witness your own beginning and end.

Li Yun felt a sense of relief, as if it were from an old friend.

Of course, Li Yun also figured out a pattern: when his personality is in its final moments of brilliance, it will not affect his dominant personality.

It poses no threat to one's health.

Li Yun is generous and doesn't mind as long as his interests are not harmed.

Treat them as true friends.

People you can communicate with, friends.

"Who were you just talking to?"

"Lu Bu also has Zhuge Liang."

"Oh." Gao Yuanyuan paused and said, "Then please give them my regards."

"no problem."

"I heard that you play two completely different characters in this TV series, each with a completely opposite feel. I wonder what the result will be when these completely opposite feelings are presented on the same screen."

Gao Yuanyuan felt a little curious.

Li Yun will choose how to present this point.

But that was a long time later.

This epic story, spanning the entire Three Kingdoms period, is only just beginning.

Dong Zhuo, the embodiment of wine, meat, and cruelty, held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords.

Cao Mengde, a minor official of the Han Dynasty who has yet to clarify his true intentions, remains steadfastly loyal.

Liu Bei is now selling straw sandals.

They all made their appearances one by one.

The appearance of Liu Hewei and Chen Jianbo was the focus of almost everyone's attention.

The Three Kingdoms period is a drama depicting the struggle for supremacy among numerous heroes.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei were the most noteworthy warlords.

They represent two extremes of the Three Kingdoms era. Both of them started from very poor backgrounds and were not on the same level as Sun Quan, the rich second-generation heir of the Sun family who lived in Jiangdong.

Although Liu Bei was a member of the Han imperial family, he was just a straw sandal seller.

Nowadays, he only makes a living by selling straw sandals.

They were all still insignificant beings.

But they are also the most important figures in the end, and most of the charismatic generals came from under their command.

These two were the most popular rulers in the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande.

Their performance naturally attracts a lot of attention, including from themselves.

Fortunately, though.

At least so far, Cao Mengde and Liu Bei have not drawn much criticism.

At least for now.

No, it didn't.

"not bad."

Bao Guoan offered his own assessment of this.

This is Cao Cao from the old Three Kingdoms period.

Looking at this new version of the Three Kingdoms, I feel like I'm looking in a mirror.

The other person acted according to their own feelings, and I added some of my own elements.

Or perhaps, judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem as cunning as he appears.

Being different from yourself is not necessarily a bad thing.

At least for Bao Guoan.

This is definitely not a bad thing.

This new understanding is quite interesting to him.

Liu Bei must have felt the same way.

"That Liu Hewei, he really did read Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Sun Yanjun did not directly comment on Liu Hewei's acting skills, but judging from some of his performances, it is clear that he has watched the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

My first impression of both of them was pretty good.

It's only this vernacular language that's a bit unpleasant, considering that part of the soul of the Three Kingdoms is contained within it.

There are indeed some things that people are dissatisfied with.

The actors who played these heroes of the Three Kingdoms had mixed opinions about this opening.

but.

The only thing that is certain is...

They thought it was a pretty good place.

It's roughly the same as the adaptation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the beginning.

This change was considered somewhat cumbersome by everyone, at least most people.

They thought it was indeed good.

In particular, the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were quite fond of this beginning.

Officials forced the people to rebel.

Amidst continuous warfare and widespread suffering, and under the Han Dynasty's unique caste system, where people were suffocating from the oppression of powerful clans and aristocratic families.

The common people had no choice but to become Yellow Turban rebels.

Even though he became a Yellow Turban rebel.

Those are merely achievements in the hands of the strong.

Chaotic times.

An epic tale of heroes, a hell for ordinary people.

That's all there is to it.

After Dong Zhuo appeared, the actor who played the old Dong Zhuo also felt that his performance was not very good.

He shook his head repeatedly.

This indicates that the actor who played Dong Zhuo was not very good.

It's actually rather mediocre.

They have all sorts of thoughts.

Overall, there are mixed reviews.

There are commendable aspects.

There are also parts that are incomprehensible.

This point is open to debate in various places.

However, the only thing that can be confirmed is that this TV series is not entirely without its merits.

Rather, they are works that can be viewed.

At least until more disgusting faces appear.

At least the crew of the Three Kingdoms drama series, these people are echoes of the old era.

That's enough to keep watching this work.

When we'll be able to see it is another matter.

"That's interesting."

At this moment.

The second episode begins with Dong Zhuo seizing the emperor and using him to command the feudal lords.

He desired the mighty general Lü Bu to aid him in his ambition to dominate the world.

What he had to give up was his prized Red Hare horse, gold and silver jewelry, and flattering praise.

For this leopard from the northern border...

That was enough to subdue him.

"Your Lu Bu has arrived," Bao Guoan teased Zhang Beiguang beside him.

"Okay, okay, I'm watching."

Zhang Beiguang didn't have a good impression of this Lü Bu.

But at the very least, one should only have the right to speak after reading the entire thing; read it first before making a comment.

To be honest, he didn't dislike Li Yun at first. He was a rising star in the industry, with the talent of screenwriter, director and actor. He was already famous in the industry at a young age, and many veteran actors found his scenes with him unforgettable.

An unforgettable experience as an actor.

However, Zhang Beiguang did not think that such an excellent actor could be so arrogant as to take on the challenging roles of Lü Bu and Kongming.

These two are extremely difficult to deal with. Each of them has their own thoughts and independent will, and what they seek.

They truly deserve the title of heroes of the Three Kingdoms period.

And such a role.

Let the same person run it.

It's kind of ridiculous.

Zhang Beiguang felt that it was already quite good that Li Yun could handle Lü Bu's appearance.

Of course, he also had some selfish motives.

For example, on the one hand, he also hopes that his portrayal of Lü Bu is not very good, so that he can still be the most Lü Bu-like Lü Bu.

He remains Lü Bu in people's hearts.
