Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 144 End of filming
June.

The crew of "Legend of Chu and Han" has completed the reshoots.

Before leaving, Gao Xixi and Zhou Mo had a meal and had a friendly conversation.

Looking at the departure of the "Legend" team, many crew members of "Chu and Han" had a lot of insights.

After comparing the two crews for a period of time, they truly felt the differences in shooting habits and levels between the two directors.

Happiness is achieved through comparison.

In the following time, including the actors who had been concentrating on filming before, they all burst out with 120% enthusiasm.

They all made up their minds to make the movie well.

The plot comes to the Battle of Gaixia.

Han Xin finally got the chance to fight Xiang Yu to the death.

He led an army of 300,000, divided it into six divisions, arranged the formation, and through various magical operations, he finally defeated Xiang Yu's 100,000 Chu troops.

And surrounded them.

Facing the desperate Chu army, Han Xin once again used a psychological strategy and made the army sing Chu songs, causing Xiang Yu to lose his mind. He abandoned his troops and led 800 soldiers to break out at night.

Before leaving, Xiang Yu and Yu Ji said goodbye.

He·Bu Jingyun·Lü Bu·Ximen Chuixue·Kamen Rider Sky's Emperor·Rundong listened to the 3D surround version of Chu Ge in his ears, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

Beside him, Yu Ji, played by Liu Yifei, stared at Xiang Yu with a resolute look.

When she heard Xiang Yu's sigh, "I have the strength to move mountains and the courage to unleash the world, but the time is not right and my horse will not move," she knew that Xiang Yu's ambition had dissipated.

Liu Yifei remembered that this morning, her mother had just thrown away all the candies she had hidden.

She also remembered the smile of success on Zhou Mo's face when he was explaining the plot to her.

At this moment, Liu Yifei's emotions reached its peak.

My candy!
Nothing is left!

It’s better to just die!
With tears on her face, she drew out the long sword she carried with her.

Bid farewell to Xiang Yu.

laugh--

Blood spilled in the tent.

……

"Okay, pass!"

Zhou Mo took a breath and felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

This is the ninth time he has filmed this segment.

He took great pains to increase Liu Yifei's strength.

From the very beginning, Liu Yifei couldn't meet his requirements no matter what, Liu Xiaoli threw away a large bag of candies in front of Liu Yifei, and then Zhou Mo repeatedly persuaded him.

Looking at Liu Yifei's resolute look on the screen, Zhou Mo was satisfied.

Although it did not reach the state he had in mind, it was at least better than the situation in his previous life when Liu Yifei's facial expression was exposed with a flying saucer hat in "The Legend of Hongmen Feast".

After a simple comparison, Liu Yifei's scene alone is not as classic as those fairy shots in film and television dramas, such as Zhang Min's Zhao Min looking back and smiling, and Lin Qingxia's Dongfang Bubai drinking in the water, but in Liu Yifei's own works, it is a scorpion poop——

Only one copy.

At the side, Liu Xiaoli was so surprised at her daughter's outstanding acting skills that she couldn't close her mouth.

For so many years, she had never realized that her daughter could display such level of acting skills.

When Liu Yifei just made her debut, her mother said ambitiously that she wanted to train her daughter to be an actress of Gong Zhang's level.

But as time goes by, my daughter grows up day by day, but her acting skills have not changed much from beginning to end.

Aunt Liu was in despair.

After all, I am a winner of the "Five One Project Award", but when it comes to my daughter, she is like a blockhead and just won't get any ideas.

Later, Liu Xiaoli gave up.

Forget it, my daughter is just like that, let her do whatever she wants.

As a mother, the most she can do is pave the way for her and choose the script.

The rest is up to her to do on her own.

Liu Xiaoli repeatedly watched the footage of her daughter's emotional outbursts, and her admiration for Zhou Mo grew even greater.

Before, she was a little skeptical when she heard Zhou Mo's suggestion. She always felt that it was a bit too ridiculous to expect her daughter to improve her acting skills just by throwing away a bag of candy.

But after seeing her daughter's acting skills, she was completely convinced.

He is truly a great director, he is really good at training actors.

A small suggestion can instantly improve an actor's acting skills.

This is called prescribing the right medicine.

In fact, she thought too much.

The so-called throwing away of the candy was just an excuse.

For Zhou Mo, as long as he has the skills, any behavior that can make Liu Yifei feel sad can become a factor that triggers her emotional outburst.

The rest is just a matter of practicing over and over again.

Aunt Liu walked up to Zhou Mo with a smile on her face: "I never thought that Xixi could have such acting skills. This is all thanks to your teaching, Director Zhou."

"You're welcome, Auntie."

After a few polite words, Aunt Liu got down to business: "If Director Zhou has a play in the future, please consider Xixi. My Xixi has always wanted to work with Director Zhou, but she has never had the opportunity..."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows and a plan came to his mind.

"To be honest, I have wanted to work with Xixi for a long time, but there has been no chance. The main reason is that the characters in our company often have some flaws, like the Huang Xiaoxian played by Tiantian in "Love Is Not Blind" and the wife of the protagonist in "New World". They are all characters with some negative factors. Such roles may not be suitable for Xixi to play."

When Aunt Liu heard the name "Huang Xiaoxian", she couldn't help but smile.

How could she know that when Zhou Mo was filming "Lost in Love", he actually didn't think about Liu Yifei at all. She instead thought that Zhou Mo had given up on his own daughter after repeated consideration.

For a moment, my heart was filled with regret.

If Sissi could star in "Love Is Not Blind"...

That's 400 million box office. Aunt Liu didn't bother to consider the little trap in Zhou Mo's words, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Director Zhou, Xixi is willing to play any role, so as long as Shanhe has a suitable role, Director Zhou can rest assured to give it to Xixi, she will definitely not let you down."

Zhou Mo curled the corners of his mouth.

This is what you said.

Then I'm welcome.

At this moment, Liu Yifei came over with a neck full of blood.

Before she could speak, Zhou Mo spoke first: "Xixi, you did well. I was just chatting with my aunt, and she told you to try to play some challenging roles in the future that are completely different from the past."

Liu Yifei:?

In just this moment, what happened?

How can I play a role that is completely different from the past?
She stared at Liu Ma in shock, wondering what kind of love potion Zhou Mo had given her to make her mother agree to his request.

Liu Xiaoli didn't know about the py transaction between Zhou Mo and Liu Yifei before, and when she heard Zhou Mo's words, she just thought that the latter was just exaggerating.

Nodding, she gave her affirmation: "That's right, Xixi, it's time for you to try some new roles. Although many roles in the past are suitable for you, they have limited your development to a certain extent."

The purpose of the "three-court trial" had been achieved. Zhou Mo turned around and left without any lingering feelings.

Only Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were left standing there looking at each other.

Liu Yifei asked first: "Mom, what did you tell Zhou Mo?"

"Why are you so rude to call me Director Zhou?"

Liu Xiaoli habitually gave her daughter some pointers first, and then repeated the previous conversation with Zhou Mo.

After hearing this, Liu Yifei reacted.

This time, my mother was fooled.

"Mom, you are so stupid! Why did you agree to this?"

Aunt Liu frowned, "How can you talk like that? Do you know how much I said to get Director Zhou to agree to consider you more when we go back to film?"

Liu Yifei is very tired.

She now agrees more and more with Zhou Mojian's evaluation of her mother.

If you don’t have the ability, the more you do, the more mistakes you will make.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei also knew that Zhou Mo had no intention of cheating anyone, but had always planned to let her play the role of a bad woman.

All along, although Liu Yifei always said no, her body was actually very honest.

She really wanted to act.

"…Forget it. I won't tell you anymore. I need to go change my clothes."

Liu Yifei touched the blood plasma on her neck, feeling a little uncomfortable, and called her assistant to leave.

Behind her, Aunt Liu was muttering to herself.

"How come you don't understand your mother's painstaking efforts..."

……

The Chu-Han War is over.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang divided the world into fiefdoms and let a group of old brothers eat meat and drink soup with him, so that everyone could taste the taste of victory.

But what followed was a series of moves to massively consolidate power, including but not limited to consolidating military power, stripping the king's title, bringing meritorious officials to Chang'an for resettlement, and adjusting the army's garrison.

Just before Liu Bang went to the State of Chu.

Han Xin, or Meng Yi, called his retainer Meng Fan.

"Liu Bang is different from Your Majesty. His children are still young, so Liu Bang will definitely take the opportunity to weaken your power in the future. His tour this time is to weaken Han Xin's power. You are not his opponent. When the time comes, you only need to show weakness to him and shout the words I taught you. He will not kill you, because he still needs Han Xin's power to help him balance the court.

In addition, don't trust Lu Zhi easily. She doesn't have Liu Bang's military ability, and the Lu family is powerful. In the end, they will definitely have disputes with the Liu family. If you want to survive in the storm, you must stay away from the court, so that you can stay out of it..."

"promise!"

The two of them talked in the room all night long.

The next day, some servants in the Chu Palace discovered that the personal guards who always followed King Han Xin of Chu were missing.

And the King of Chu also seemed to have some subtle changes.

It’s just that the King of Chu didn’t have close contact with his servants on a daily basis, so the servants were just a little strange and then ignored the difference.

A few days later, Liu Bang came to Chu under the pretext of a tour.

The King of Chu, Han Xin, was captured and brought back to Chang'an.

On the way, Han Xin shouted: "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. Xiang Yu is dead, and now it is time for me, a useless person, to die."

When Liu Bang heard this, he pushed Han Xin into the carriage.

He untied the ropes on him and warned him, "Shut up. I have already forgiven you for treason because of your past contributions. Now I only ask you to go back to Chang'an with me. If you say anything more, I will never forgive you."

In this way, Han Xin returned to Chang'an with Liu Bang.

He was stripped of his title of King of Chu and granted the title of Marquis of Huaiyin instead.

Liu Bang did not let him go back and promised him that as long as he did not return to his fiefdom, he could wander around Chang'an freely.

Han Xin strolled around Chang'an every day.

He is not satisfied with his current life.

In his mind, as the inheritor of Han Xin's identity, he should be able to gallop freely on the battlefield.

But Liu Bang didn't give him a chance.

Fortunately, he still remembered what the young master had told him, and he had not done anything excessive so far, just complaining a few words at most.

In particular, there was a guy named Chen Xi, who ran to his house before taking office and said something like "the emperor is unfair", acting like he was really concerned about him.

What a joke, I can't tell what you do?

Han Xin scolded Chen Xi and drove him out of the mansion.

It was not until the tenth year of the Han Dynasty that Chen Xi rebelled and Liu Bang led his troops to fight against him.

One day, Xiao He went to Han Xin's mansion.
