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

Chapter 449, The So-Called Three Kingdoms!

Based on this alone.

Li Yun will be able to secure a place in this role.

The reason why Lü Bu has a place in history is because no one before him could express his bravery so vividly.

That kind of aura that exudes the power of ghosts and gods.

This is Li Yun's unique advantage, and based on this alone, he is no less than Zhang Beiguang's Lü Bu.

This is the most valiant Lü Bu in film history.

The most powerful Lu Bu in the Three Heroes Battle against Lu Bu was portrayed with his fierce and valiant fighting style.

They will definitely be able to secure a place in the market.

Even if he is a brute, he is an extremely powerful brute.

A brute whose name would be known throughout the land during an era of vying for supremacy.

This point has been the subject of much discussion on the internet.

It's simply unimaginable that such a fierce Lu Bu could display his ferocity and bravery so vividly.

But it's something that even the most superb acting skills can't convey.

It's like an innate wildness!

Even those who discuss the character of Lü Bu at length can't help but admire the masculine charm he exudes at this moment.

"That's fierce."

At this moment, even Teacher Liu was somewhat taken aback by what he saw.

The lead actor of Journey to the West originally watched the new Three Kingdoms with the intention of finding fault, just like those old interest groups, nitpicking and looking for his flaws.

In fact, the new Three Kingdoms has quite a few flaws; if you had to nitpick, you could find a lot of problems.

From costumes and props to dialogue and actors, there are minor flaws of varying degrees. Teacher Liu plans to reveal all of these flaws completely during his next appearance on a variety show.

Teacher Liu will not embellish his words; he will simply state his true thoughts.

Although Teacher Liu really wanted to embellish the story, his professional ethics prevented him from doing so, or at least from saying anything that went against his conscience.

Although he was ambitious and greedy for fame and fortune, he still had some bottom lines.

He felt that this version of Lü Bu was far inferior to Zhang Beiguang's, which only focused on portraying extreme emotions, demonstrating a lack of understanding of the character.

There's no need to even smear it.

Naturally, people will share their opinions about the character.

That's how it was supposed to be. It wasn't until the scene of the three heroes fighting Lü Bu came out that Teacher Liu was somewhat shocked and moved.

Yes, it was shock and awe.

The feeling of being surrounded by ghosts and spirits was like flowing through my very bones.

He knew what that feeling meant.

It's like playing the Monkey King yourself.

That indistinguishable feeling.

It was as if he were the monkey, and the monkey was him; it was deeply imprinted in his soul.

With this one episode, Li Yun's portrayal of the character has reached a point where no one can criticize him.

They could reach a point where they could be on equal footing with Zhang Beiguang.

This gives Zhang Beiguang an advantage that he doesn't have.

A strong physique, capable of wielding a halberd with one hand, was already an advantage that no one before him had.

A unique Lu Bu.

"So it seems you each have your strengths and weaknesses. You are better at dramatic scenes, while he is better at action scenes, after all, he is a martial arts actor."

Tang Guoqiang, the old Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, looked at him with a slightly appreciative gaze.

Regardless of whether this actor, who plays two roles, can fully grasp all the characteristics of each character, at least what we're seeing now is quite professional.

Filming in such sweltering heat meant we were all wrapped up like rice dumplings.

That's very professional.

Although this dedication doesn't seem strange to these older generation actors.

However, this applies to the new generation of actors.

Such dedication is truly rare.

Looking back now, no matter how this TV series turns out, at least it has this kind of feel, so Tang Guoqiang won't dislike it.

"That's certainly true, at least that's how it seems now."

Zhang Beiguang spoke slowly.

And the story continues to unfold.

After the Battle of the Three Heroes against Lü Bu.

His relationship with Diao Chan... He was a lecher, an absolute womanizer. In the original story, the rift between him and Dong Zhuo arose because of a woman.

Because of the stunningly beautiful Diao Chan.

When Liu Qianqian appeared, her skin was as white as jade, and her features were as beautiful as a painting. She was like a beauty who had floated out of a painting, as if she did not exist in the real world.

This ultimate feeling of beauty is the tactile sensation that Diao Chan gives people today.

How beautiful!

It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

The stunningly beautiful Diao Chan is no wonder that Lu Bu would betray his own father for her beauty and loyalty.

Diao Chan was not merely a beautiful vase or a dependent figurehead. In this era of male heroes, strength determined everything, which was destined to be a vulnerable time for women. Without a strong physique, her delicate voice and outstanding appearance could only serve as a vase or a dependent figurehead.

That's how it should be.

In the end, all that remained was the lock away of the two Qiao sisters in the Copper Sparrow Terrace.

But Diao Chan was different, completely different. Her actions and everything she did were for the sake of the common people and to eliminate Dong Zhuo, this tyrannical and perverse ruler.

They have their own thoughts, purposes, and actions, and use their own "weapons" to leave their mark in this world of heroes vying for supremacy.

Using beauty as a weapon.

However, at this very moment.

Lu Bu, however, revealed his feelings of love for her.

He may have known that Diao Chan's beauty trap was intended to sow discord between him and his adoptive father, but he still gladly accepted it.

That's foolish.

It's a kind of foolishness that persists even after understanding everything.

The complexity of human nature is on full display in Lü Bu at this moment.

He could be treacherous and cunning to anyone, two-faced to anyone, but only towards Diao Chan did he possess a truly sincere and genuine heart.

Diao Chan, it seems, had more than just a counter-espionage plot against Lü Bu.

Instead, it has its own feeling of love.

Is it because beautiful women love heroes?

This is a reason that is somewhat crude and straightforward.

However, in the unfolding of the plot...

Lu Bu, having removed his armor, and Diao Chan, dancing under the moon, seem to share a kind of resonance.

A sort of.

This is a resonance that has never been found in previous versions of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Love arises from a feeling of resonance.

It starts with physical appearance, and then it's about liking.

But love doesn't come so easily.

At this moment, a faint, resonant love appeared. Incredibly, a weak woman who used her beauty as a weapon, for the sake of all living beings, was a "loyal and virtuous woman" of the Han imperial family.

There's also a selfish guy who climbed the ladder by any means necessary to achieve his current status.

Although he was incredibly powerful.

But he's still not a good guy.

How could someone like that resonate with Diao Chan, who was concerned about her country and its people? How could she resonate with someone who had nothing but beauty and temperament?

However, at this moment the camera switches to Lü Bu.

In front is the wine pond and meat forest.

This is something that is presented in the same way as Dong Zhuo.

Even Yuan Shao had it.

The scene of the three eating and drinking shows Yuan Shao, a man from a family that had held high office for four generations, taking only one bite of each dish, displaying extreme elegance.

Dong Zhuo would just swallow it whole.

Greedily devour everything within sight, swallow everything before your eyes.

Lu Bu, on the other hand, was different. Although he also indulged in wine, women, and food, he would eat everything in front of him cleanly, leaving not a single grain of rice or a drop of water.

He came from a poor background, and he was vague about the names of Lü Bu's parents. Perhaps in his world, parents were completely foreign concepts, and they may have died tragically in the years of famine and war.

Perhaps he had already died without a burial place.

This is what made Lü Bu the man he is today.

That place was resource-scarce but brimming with martial spirit.

That place, plundered year after year, where famine was rampant.

The harsh environment of northern Xinjiang shaped him.

This is what made this ruthless guy.

He didn't understand poetry, literature, or etiquette, but what he did understand was how to survive and how to climb up the social ladder step by step.

Lu Bu, too, came from humble origins, as lowly as dust.

His strength comes from within himself, and so does his vulnerability.

No wonder, no wonder he could develop feelings of love for Diao Chan, this pretty but useless woman. A caged bird, a canary, a tiger in a cage—aren't they all bound by shackles around their necks?

What a joke, what a joke! This world.

Whether beautiful or brave, they are merely playthings in the hands of the wealthy.

motherfucker.

"One day, I will use my halberd to conquer the world and establish my dominance! I will show the world that even a creature born from the grass and valley can one day reign supreme over all living beings!"

At this moment, Lu Bu in the shot is wielding his halberd.

He and his Red Hare were drinking and laughing wildly.

It was only then that people connected the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period with the current storyline.

Why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion occur?

Because the people are in despair.

If there's enough to eat, who would commit treason? If one is treated as a human being, why would one act like a monster?

Since you don't treat me like a human being.

Why should I treat you as a human being?

The airing of this episode has completely overturned everyone's view of the new Three Kingdoms.

Aside from his portrayal of Lü Bu and his performance in dramatic scenes.

Another point is the portrayal of the era.

It was this profile that started the plot to unfold and set the pace of the entire story in motion.

There's even a discussion about this online.

Let's discuss the character of Lü Bu and the rationality of his actions.

This time, the popularity once again overshadowed the side story "Scarlet Heart," making Tang Min, who originally thought she would always be in the lead, feel slightly embarrassed.

"This is impossible! How could this be?"

This made Tang Min find it unbelievable.

Li Liguo, who was also paying close attention to this matter, could not hide his shock.

This is the director's clever idea. The Yellow Turban Rebellion part at the beginning was not dragging, but necessary.

For the audience, this is an era of heroes, allowing them to completely immerse themselves in the story.

But most of the heroes and valiant men in there wouldn't even consider you human.

Those who treat you like a lackey are already wise rulers.

What an ironic statement, yet how true is it?

Lu Bu's choice resonated with many.

He was indeed disloyal, unfilial, and unjust, but in this era, in the cruel place he lived in, if he had followed this path, he wouldn't be alive today, and he wouldn't have become the great general he is today.

This is a small person who grew up in a harsh environment.

A tiger that has been shackled and is being used by others.

When this acting performance comes out, the portrayal of the entire Three Kingdoms period and the portrayal of Lü Bu are complete; everything has been done here.

All the contradictions in the entire chapter on the campaign against Dong Zhuo.

Everything is presented here.

This is also where the climax will be reached, with Yuan Shao's coalition against Dong Zhuo achieving a great victory, and heroes and valiant men beginning to rise from humble beginnings under this banner.

Whether it was Liu Bei or Cao Cao.

They all rose from humble beginnings.

While Lü Bu was at the height of his glory during the Battle of the Three Heroes, his story has now come to an end as a prisoner.

The reversal came too quickly. He had just made a promise to Diao Chan under the moon. He had just wanted to fulfill his grand ambitions, realize his ideals, become king and hegemon, and become the hero and master of the Three Kingdoms era.

But not long after, he became a prisoner.

One second he was a majestic general, displaying his grand ambitions and plans, and now he's dead—it's quite...

Because he whipped his subordinates and didn't treat them like human beings, he was eventually tied up and sent out of the city. He suffered defeat and died without any dignity.

There is no dignity that belongs to heroes.

"I refuse to accept this. If I'm allowed to take the lead, those scoundrels won't be able to do anything to me."

Lu Bu, who was standing next to Li Yun, felt extremely angry.

He was furious to the extreme.

As a military general, he could be killed, he could be defeated, but not in this kind of humiliating and clownish way.

"You brought this on yourself. Do you have some grievance?" Li Yun said calmly to Lü Bu, "Don't you understand the principle of 'the victor is king, the loser is villain'?"

"Tell me, what's the difference between what Cao Cao did and what you did? He could say, 'I will betray the world, but I will not let the world betray me,' but you make such an evaluation, and in the end you can only be seen as two-faced. Because you are different, you are the loser, he is the winner, you are a general, he is a lord, he is a tyrant. You can only rely on such a person, because that was the era."

Lu Bu was very angry at first.

I'm very angry.

He was like an enraged demon, unleashing his murderous intent in front of Li Yun.

Li Yun remained calm, despite the terrifying stench of blood wafting towards him.

He was a fake after all.

He is merely a manifestation of his own personality, a mere illusion; I am the real being with a physical body.

"It's truly pathetic. Are people like us, born into humble circumstances, destined to be nothing more than dust in this era?"

"That's not it. At least there was one person, and one group of people, who wanted to change this era, to hell with the privileged families, to hell with the widespread starvation!"

At this moment, Lü Bu looked behind him.

He is the Prime Minister.
