Chapter 672: Five Battles, the Best Coquettish Master
Since June, "Chi Le Chuan" has been filming the third phase of the drama, which is about the battle between the middle-aged and elderly male lead Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai.

In terms of the drama, the third phase also has 20 episodes, but the shooting period and difficulty are much longer and greater than the first and second phases.

The reason is that a considerable proportion of the third stage of "Chi Le Chuan" is war scenes, many of which are large-scale scenes, requiring a large number of actors, which makes it difficult to coordinate with so many people, and naturally consumes time and energy.

In history, Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai fought five major battles.

The Battle of Xiaoguan, the Battle of Shayuan, the Battle of Heqiao, the Battle of Mangshan and the Battle of Yubi.

In the first four battles, Yuwen Tai and Gao Huan personally led their troops to fight each other. In the final Battle of Yubi, it was Wei Xiaokuan who faced Gao Huan, but Yuwen Tai also had the command, support and even coordination behind him, so many people also regard the Battle of Yubi as a duel between the two.

It is impossible to film all five wars in detail, even if the cost can be afforded, the story can be told clearly in 20 episodes.

Therefore, these five battles naturally have details and omissions, with main plots and auxiliary plots.

There is no doubt that the final battle of Yubi cannot be omitted. This is Gao Huan’s final battle, so it will definitely have a lot of drama.

The remaining four battles will determine who will be the main force and who will be the secondary force.

He was eliminated first in the first battle, the Battle of Xiaoguan. This was also the battle with the smallest noise and the least excitement.

The general process was that Gao Huan, who controlled most of the north, attacked Yuwen Tai who was in Guanzhong.

As a result, due to the strategic error of dividing the troops and the fact that another commander Dou Tai underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, Yuwen Tai seized the opportunity to defeat him. Dou Tai, his trusted general, was killed, the battle situation became passive, and Gao Huan was forced to withdraw temporarily.

The script of "Chi Le Chuan" did not focus too much on this battle. It mainly showed the strength of the relatively unfamiliar Yuwen Tai team, and then Dou Tai died in the battle.

To put it in more understandable terms, the protagonist successfully upgrades and changes his job, changes to a new map, a new BOSS appears, and sacrifices a teammate to demonstrate the power of the BOSS.

The second battle, the Battle of Shayuan, was the highlight.

What happened was basically this: a teammate died, and the protagonist Gao Huan led the team to take revenge, maximizing the advantage and performing all kinds of showmanship. However, he ended up being badly beaten by the BOSS because he underestimated his teammates.

To some extent, the Battle of Shayuan can be regarded as Gao Huan's "Battle of Chibi" and "Battle of Guandu".

From the perspective of the script structure, it also lays the groundwork for first suppressing and then praising, while further shaping the strength of Yuwen Tai, the old enemy, raising the audience's expectations and enhancing the conflicts and confrontations in the plot.

The third Battle of Heqiao was not as important as the Battle of Shayuan, but it was definitely ranked first in terms of excitement among the five major battles.

The Battle of Heqiao is considered to be a sequel to the Battle of Shayuan, so this part of the plot is actually connected with the Battle of Shayuan. The two together are the most epic war drama in the entire drama "Chi Le Chuan".

The plot is roughly that Gao Huan suffered a disastrous defeat at Shayuan, Yuwen Tai counterattacked Heluo, Gao Huan defended and counterattacked, and the two sides went to war.

In the early stage, Yuwen Tai won a great victory and killed two generals of Gao Huan, especially Gao Aocao, which not only made Gao Huan lose a general, but also lost the core guarding Heluo, as well as the Han high-level officials who checked and balanced the Xianbei nobles, affecting the internal political structure.

However, after this, Yuwen Tai and his team made the same mistake as Gao Huan did before - going with the flow.

Gao Huan, a heroic hero of his generation, was able to handle favorable situations with the wind and waves, but when the wind was against him, he could be possessed by Cao Cao and activated by the god Yuan, fully unleashing the advantages of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, first losing and then winning, and turning the tide against the wind.

If it weren't for Yuwen Tai's good luck, he would have been almost killed and had to retreat in embarrassment.

Although Gao Huan's side won, it was a pyrrhic victory. Many generals died, the loss of troops was huge, and there was not much desire to pursue the enemy afterwards.

After the battles of Shayuan and Heqiao, Dongwei and Heqiao rested for a few years, and then the Battle of Mangshan was triggered because Gao Aocao's brother defected.

When Wei Yang wrote "Chi Le Chuan", he felt that it was simply a script written by God himself.

I understand so well!
With the wind in hand and small waves, he was defeated slightly (Xiaoguan); with the wind in hand and big waves, he was defeated greatly (Shayuan); with the wind in hand, he turned defeat into victory (Heqiao), and then came the fair showdown - the Battle of Mangshan.

The battle was extremely fierce. Both Yuwen Tai and Gao Huan were once in desperate situations. The former was chased by Peng Le and the latter was chased by Heba Sheng. Both almost died on the battlefield.

In the subsequent decisive battle, Gao Huan won a great victory again, and even defeated Yuwen Tai in one battle, and almost all the elite forces of the Western Wei were killed.

If Gao Huan had not been cautious and did not launch a full-scale pursuit, Yuwen Tai might have been destroyed in one battle.

After this battle, the Eastern Wei regained the initiative on the battlefield after Shayuan, and Yuwen Tai's side could only take a defensive stance.

The battle of Mangshan was the highlight of Gao Huan's side. As the protagonist, he finally got to hold his head high and beat his old enemy. It must have been filmed in a focused manner to make the audience happy.

So with this game, the pressure is still very high.

The only part that was actually filmed briefly was the Battle of Xiaoguan. Shayuan and Heqiao were blended together, but there were some trade-offs between them. However, they are still very important. The highlight of Mangshan and the ending of the jade disk cannot be overlooked.

Therefore, since entering the third stage, Boss Wei has been wearing armor most of the time. Both sides of his thighs are red from riding horses, and Tang Yan applies medicine to him every day.

Boss Wei is relatively good. Although he has the most roles and shots, he is the head coach and does not have many fighting scenes.

The ones who suffered the most were the generals, who had to wear armor and ride horses to shoot the fight scenes. Not only was it tiring, it was also difficult and most importantly there was the risk of injury.

Zhang Zhen, who plays Yuwen Tai, is not much better. Although he is the commander-in-chief, he does not have as many soldiers and generals as King Gao, so he does not have the carefree life that King Gao has.

Moreover, according to the script and the historical design, Gao Huan basically ran away after being defeated, and at most was chased, while Yuwen Tai was often involved in a hard battle and then fled after being defeated.

This buddy was in danger several times, and at one time he was chased by someone, or he was so pitiful that others tried their best to rescue him.

When Gao Huan fled, he took a few people with him, and there were people protecting him and others covering his retreat.

Therefore, in the drama, Yuwen Tai's martial virtues are more abundant than Gao Huan, and he often goes into battle personally, which means that Zhang Zhen also has to shoot fighting scenes.

In fact, Boss Wei has a little trick up his sleeve here.

That is, he thinks Zhang Zhen can be considered an action actor. He even won a championship for practicing Bajiquan in "The Grandmaster" and he was also good at fighting in "Knife of the Assassin". It would be a pity if he didn't add some fighting scenes.

You know, Zhang Zhen's pay is not low, so you should use him as much as possible, otherwise it would be a shame to spend the money.

...

Hengdian, remote dirt road

Wei Yang was wearing somewhat dirty armor, his hair was a little disheveled, he was fleeing on horseback, looking nervous and panicked, there were only seven knights around him, and the sound of pursuit could be heard faintly from behind.

At this time, Jing Boran, who played the trusted commander Wei Xingqing and was the leader of the knights around him, had a firm expression.

"My lord, the pursuers are too urgent. We have to leave someone behind to cover our retreat. You lead the others and I will hold them back."

Wei Yang frowned slightly: "How many can you stop by yourself?" "Xing Qing is good at archery. He has a hundred arrows on his waist, enough to kill a hundred people."

Wei Yang wanted to say more, but Jing Boran said decisively: "Your Majesty, do not hesitate. Xingqing has received great favors from you, and he should repay you with his death."

In an emergency, Wei Yang didn't say anything more, but just looked at the other person deeply.

"If I can survive this, I will appoint you as the governor of Huaizhou. If you unfortunately die in battle, this position will be your son's."

Jing Boran smiled and said, "My son is still young, so please let my brother take charge."

After saying that, Jing Boran jumped off his horse and asked other knights to lead the horses away as a backup, thus cutting off his own chance of escape. Afterwards, he bowed solemnly to the departing backs of Gao Huan and the others, then turned around and looked at the pursuers, drawing his bow and arrow.

Of course, after shouting "click", Boss Wei and his men who had run far away came back on horseback. The staff went to put a blood bag on Jing Boran and dispatched the chasing actors.

The subsequent plot is that Wei Xingqing, played by Jing Boran, shoots arrows and snipes the pursuers alone.

His archery skills were superb. He would shoot anyone who came forward to him to death with one arrow. This frightened many pursuers and he managed to hold back the enemy army for a short period of time. Some of the pursuers who knew how to use bows and arrows fought back, but Duan was shot by several arrows but did not retreat until his quiver was used up. Then he went to his death calmly.

After we finished filming the last scene where the pursuer stood in awe of the warrior, he bypassed the corpse and continued the pursuit, and then took a close-up of the corpse. This scene was considered complete.

Jing Boran, covered in blood and stabbed by several arrows, suddenly jumped up.

Wei Yang smiled and waved Jing Boran over: "How about you, Xiao Jing? This role I reserved for you is not bad, isn't it?"

Jing Boran gave a thumbs up: "No need to say, I was moved by the performance myself."

Lian Jing's assistant was grinning beside them. At first, they came to "Chi Le Chuan" for a guest appearance purely to show off their face in front of Boss Wei. Unexpectedly, Boss Wei was so particular and kept them for a role with not many scenes, but most of them were highlights.

There are three scenes in total. One is the banquet before the Battle of Mangshan. Gao Huan shows off to the generals that he has found a sharpshooter. He asks Wei to demonstrate his superb archery skills, which dazzles the whole audience. Gao Huan then gives him an official title.

The other scene is a military meeting, which shows Gao Huan's usual care for Wei through some details.

The last scene was when Gao Huan fell into a desperate situation. He stepped forward to cover his retreat and died heroically in battle.

In just a few scenes, a young general with extraordinary skills and loyalty was presented to the audience.

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are always excellent qualities that impress the audience. Although this kind of loyal and sacrificial character has few roles, he may be more likable and impressive than some supporting roles. Then cooperate with the crew to buy a few hot searches and the exposure will be great.

Jing Boran and his assistant are both knowledgeable people and naturally understand the ins and outs here.

This guest appearance was really not in vain, maybe it was a win-win situation...

Wei Yang patted Jing Boran on the shoulder. To be honest, he was a little worried when he first gave this role to Jing Boran.

After all, the role is not big, but it is considered a small climax. If the acting skills are not good enough, it would be a pity if the performance is mediocre, let alone bad.

However, Jing Boran is a pretty good guy, no wonder he had a good transformation later on. Although his performance just now was not particularly amazing, it was basically in place. The post-production editing and music were awesome, and it was definitely a tear-jerking moment.

Jing Boran himself probably got into the role very well, and he even asked Wei Yang if the role of Wei Xingqing was real?

"This person did exist in history. Your part is basically true, but it's pretty close, especially today's scene, which is recorded in history."

"Did Gao Huan finally agree to that promise?"

Wei Yang shook his head: "It's not mentioned in history, but Gao Huan was later awarded Yitong and Jingzhou Governor, and was posthumously named Min Zhuang. You can understand it as giving him a high posthumous reputation and treatment, which can benefit his descendants."

"But I personally think that Gao Huan should not regret it. Although he has a fickle history, he is still very good to his subordinates, especially for such a life-saving favor. If he doesn't reward him generously, no one will work for him in the future."

"And in the script we also made it clear that Gao Huan kept his promise and gave him the historical treatment."

A hero cannot shed blood and tears!
You don’t have to pay for anything else, but you have to pay for your life. This is also the simple value of many viewers, so Wei Yang specially added this scene to the play.

The same is true of Gao Huan in the script of "Chi Le Chuan". Although he is cunning, capricious, despicable and cruel, he still has some true character.

Wei Yang has always paid great attention to this point. He wants to create a hero, but not a scumbag. He can be hated by some audiences, but not disgusted and resisted by most.

Jing Boran left not long after his guest appearance, as his own drama "The Records of Nanyanzhai" had not yet been completed, so he had to specially coordinate the time for his guest appearance.

Wei Yang didn't have time to say goodbye to Jing Boran. He stayed behind just now because he was afraid that Jing Boran would mess up the main scene and he would have to take responsibility.

So, after saying hello and exchanging a few pleasantries, Wei Yang went to rush to the next scene before the other party left, and did not finish work until nearly eleven in the morning.

Boss Wei called Zhang Zhen, Fu Dalong and others who were filming with him, and paid for a high-end club to enjoy a massage.

I was very tired from filming that day and felt very exhausted. A massage to relax myself will help me work the next day.

This is how Wei Yang explained it, but Di Lieba, who came to guest star in "Chi Le Chuan", obviously didn't believe it.

"Brother, if you want a massage, I can give it to you."

Dilirouba brought Wei Yang back to the house she bought in Hengdian. She pinched Wei Yang's shoulders in a very formal manner and spoke softly to him, but Boss Wei couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard it.

She's definitely not the first one to say this!
Tang Yan, Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi have all said similar things before, but their techniques and strength are far inferior to those of professional technicians.

And the key is that they have no endurance. After a while, either their hands or waist will hurt. Then Boss Wei has to serve them in return. If they are not careful, they will be squeezed in with other activities. They were supposed to relax, but in the end they feel more tired.

But this matter cannot be told. If it is told, it would be considered as ungrateful and it would mean that you have ulterior motives.

Wei Yang responded with just a few "hmm" and "ah", but Di Lieba was extremely busy.

With variety shows, film and television, and business work all the time, although Zhao Liying has made a comeback, she is now behind the scenes, resulting in Dilraba Dilmurat becoming the de facto number one of Blue Whale, with full resources and maximum work intensity.

Under such circumstances, Wei Yang was a little touched that she could squeeze out time to make a guest appearance in "Chi Le Chuan" or to accompany him, and he was too lazy to argue about such trivial matters.

Dilirouba, who was massaging his shoulders, smiled secretly. She knew that this trick of acting pitiful and acting like a spoiled child on the road would work.

As they grow older or become mothers, other women's ability to act coquettishly has somewhat "regressed".

The youngest girl from Xinjiang Province took up the responsibility and gradually found out what Boss Wei liked. She always succeeded, especially Rouba, who was considered the best at acting like a spoiled child…
