There are always people who are truly patriotic, or smart enough to know that the big money can be made in the mainland, and their stance must be corrected early on.

So even though they were scolded by local fans, they still issued a statement.

However, most people chose to play dead.

Trying to use time to forget and get away with it.

Wei Jun certainly wouldn't pursue such people relentlessly, but he remembered the names of these people, so there would naturally be no chance of cooperation in the future.

As for those who made statements, Wei Jun did not go back on his word.

According to the role requirements, the King of Wei directly assigned the roles of the Xiongnu to them, without deliberately suppressing or targeting them, and expressed his welcome for the opportunity to continue cooperation in the future.

A one-size-fits-all approach is definitely not an option.

Those who can be won over can be won over, and those who must be struck down must be struck down.

Wei Jun is a loyal reader of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong".

However, after filming actually started, Wei Jun still felt the difficulty. The filming difficulty of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" was much greater than that of "Warring States" and "Beijing Love Story".

It’s not just that the investment volume is larger, but more importantly, there are too many and too diverse people involved.

Voices from all sides will come in.

And Mr. Wei is really too young.

Even though he has become famous recently, it is difficult for him to have the final say in the crew.

After all, Jackie Chan's status in the underworld is there, and so is Da Tiantian's identity.

The crew is like a small entertainment circle. Everyone is very realistic and knows who can be offended and who cannot be offended.

Few people would regard Wei Jun as the boss of the crew of "The 13 Soldiers Return to the Cave", and more people would praise Jackie Chan and Da Tiantian.

This also resulted in other sounds during filming.

Even during filming, there would be suggestions to modify the script.

Big-name actors are accustomed to bringing screenwriters into the crew. This is a common practice in the industry.

Giving big stars more roles and changing their scripts at any time is a common occurrence in the Chinese film industry.

Jackie Chan is of course a big star.

He also has his own screenwriter.

Although Jackie Chan thought the script of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" was very good, his inherent ideas made it difficult for him to fully resonate with Wei Jun.

Moreover, since they grew up in different cultural backgrounds, it was even more difficult for them to think alike. On the seventh day of filming for "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave", a screenwriter approached Wei Jun and wanted to add a subplot to the film.

"Director Wei, I feel that there is too little interaction between the Queen of Cheshi Kingdom and Geng Gong in the movie.

Why did the Queen of Cheshi Kingdom take such a risk to help Geng Gong? The movie doesn’t give enough explanation at all.”

Wei Jun looked at the screenwriter as if he were a fool.

Why wasn't there enough explanation in the movie?

Because there is no need to explain at all.

We are all Han people, so what's wrong with helping each other in the Western Regions?

Is there any need to explain this?

But in the eyes of this screenwriter, it is useful.

Because he started out as a writer of Hong Kong films.

Wei Jun didn't bother to explain to him and asked directly: "What do you want to do?"

"Let's add a love story between Geng Gong and the Queen of Cheshi. We can set it up as Geng Gong and the Queen of Cheshi being old acquaintances. The Queen of Cheshi married into the Cheshi Kingdom from the Central Plains, and Geng Gong also came to the Western Regions for her.

They never abandon each other, and this kind of love story is sure to impress the audience and also enrich the characters of the male and female protagonists."

The screenwriter said.

Wei Jun thought to himself, what a great guy.

If I hadn't suffered from cerebral thrombosis for ten years, I wouldn't have thought of such a bloody routine.

Having said that, this routine doesn't seem to be too melodramatic in historical films directed by Hong Kong directors, it's considered a basic operation.

But Wei Jun was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"You are dismissed."

"Director Wei, this is Big Brother"

"I said, you can go now. If anyone has any objections, let them come to me in person."

In front of other people, Wei Jun didn't give him any face at all.

After sending this person away, Wei Jun called Da Tiantian over and went straight to the point: "Do you want to add to the drama?"

Da Tiantian was confused: "No, Director Wei, why do you say that?"

"Just now a screenwriter came over and said they want to add a heart-wrenching love scene between you and Brother Long."

Da Tiantian: “…I don’t know.”

"I don't care if you know it or not."

Wei Jun said coldly: "Remember, "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" is a war history blockbuster, not a melodramatic romance film.

This kind of story doesn't need any emotional drama. I'm the director, I have the final say, and anyone who disagrees will be fired from the crew."

Da Tiantian opened her mouth, seemed to be about to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Although she was not very smart, she could see that Wei Jun was speaking indirectly and was not referring to her at all.

Wei Jun was just stepping on her to establish his authority on the crew.

Of course Da Tiantian felt uncomfortable.

However, thinking that Wei Jun was a talented person she had discovered, she endured it.

Let Wei Jun coax her in private.

If she can't be coaxed, she will let Wei Jun know what the anger of the sweet princess is.

It turns out that using the sweet princess to establish authority is very effective.

In that instant, no one in the entire crew dared to disobey Wei Jun.

Lord Wei even dared to scold Princess Tian, ​​so they didn't think Lord Wei would treat them differently.

Wei Jun's authority began to become apparent in the crew.

Many actors were discussing privately: "Director Wei is so young, but I didn't expect him to be so majestic."

Zhang Yi: "When we were filming 'Beijing Love Story', Director Wei was quite joking. I didn't expect him to be so serious now."

"Director Wei is like a tyrant on the set right now."

"Let's establish our authority. We have too many great people on the crew. If Director Wei doesn't establish his authority, it will be difficult for the crew to run smoothly."

"Director Wei is so bold! Princess Tian was almost made to cry by his scolding. He even asked Big Brother to retake the scene five times. I was worried for him."

"Director Wei is amazing, but it's precisely because of his strict requirements that a better film can be made. 'The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave' should be a masterpiece."

The actors' confidence in Wei Jun is growing.

But the screenwriters were increasingly dissatisfied with Wei Jun.

Because Wei Jun is too domineering.

So overbearing that they don't even give them a chance to express their opinions.

They provided a lot of suggestions for reference, but Wei Jun didn't listen to any of them and told them to get out.

Can't bear it.

They thought that Wei Jun's script had a lot of problems, and if it was not corrected, it would definitely be punished by the box office after it was released.

However, these screenwriters knew that they could not do anything to Wei Jun, so they first communicated their opinions to Jackie Chan and others.

After all, they are in the same cultural circle, and Jackie Chan and stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan all think that what the screenwriters said makes sense.

A group of foreigners could not understand Geng Gong and his team's choice, and they were born on the side of these screenwriters.

But they dare not make decisions on their own.

The shooting plan was decided by Wei Jun, and if I want to modify the script, I can only go to Wei Jun.

So a group of people took the initiative to find Wei Jun to discuss it, and tentatively asked if the script could be modified.

"Director Wei, we don't mean to offend your authority. We simply feel that the script is too distorted."

The screenwriters have also learned their lesson and know that they can't go too far against Wei Jun.

But they really felt that there was something wrong with Wei Jun's script.

Director Wei, everything about your script is good, except that you portrayed Geng Gong and the others as too great and righteous.

The city was surrounded by a large army on all sides, and the people in the city had run out of ammunition and food, and it was a desperate situation.

In this situation, the will of the Han army defending the city was not shaken at all, and the Huns promised to make them kings. To be honest, this is too unrealistic and the audience will not believe it at all.

Wei Jun looked at the group of people quietly and shook his head speechlessly: "You guys really should be taken to the Party School to study Chinese history. You are just like the Huns in the script. You simply cannot understand why Geng Gong and his men kept resisting and refusing to surrender.

Essentially, you find this kind of thing unacceptable.”

Facing Wei Jun's gaze, many people looked away.

Mr. Wei is right.

Many of them felt that the script was unrealistic.

Hong Kong has been occupied by the British for too long, and many Hong Kong locals have always felt that being a dog for the British is better than being a Chinese.

A large number of people in Taiwan even think that the Japanese are more worthy of respect than people from mainland China.

Against this historical and cultural backdrop, it's difficult to expect them to understand what the pride of the Han nation is.

This is also the reason why Wei Jun was too lazy to use actors from these two places to shoot this kind of drama.

As for foreign actors, there is no need to say more.

Don't expect that there are many foreign stars who really understand Chinese history.

Because of cultural differences, they simply cannot empathize with each other.

But after all, it's used.

Wei Jun decided to teach them a lesson: "Personality, national system, fame recorded in history, eternal fame... Do you understand these words?"

The screenwriter laughed and said, "Director Wei, your words are becoming more and more empty. Life is not that noble."

"That's you. If you can't do it yourself, don't think that everyone else can't do it like you."

Wei Jun said coldly, "In ancient China, many people didn't live for themselves alone. Serving their country was a matter of course for them."

Looking at the suspicious eyes of this group of people, Wei Jun shook his head and sighed: "You don't understand the deep reasons behind this.

In ancient China, if you were loyal to your country, your country would record you, your family would be treated favorably and provided for by the local government, and your descendants would be proud of you in the ancestral temple.

The Han people have always had the tradition of "worshiping" their ancestors and heroes. In this land, a person must live for the reputation of his ancestors and for future generations.

You don't just represent yourself, you represent your family.

Your actions should set an example for the whole village, set a role model for your descendants, and bring honor to your ancestors.

Once it rises to the national and ethnic level, every person on this land will always be inexplicably burning with emotion.

Because Han civilization will last forever!

Because historians will write truthfully!

Because your legend will always fly in the army!

Because this land will spread the unrealized rewards you have made in this life over thousands of years in the future.

Do they have selfish motives? Yes, they don't want to be infamous forever.

They are willing to exchange their death for the glory of future generations, and they are willing to be buried in a foreign land so that this land will always remember their sacrifice.

"If you don't understand, then learn it, or at least respect it.
