Who are you calling powerful?

As mentioned earlier, the plot of the entire drama "Chi Le Chuan" is divided into three stages.

The first stage is the rise, Gao Huan slowly became a local lord from a poor boy.

At the end of this stage, Erzhu Rong held great power, eliminated his biggest opponent Ge Rong, and sent generals from all walks of life to eliminate other small and medium-sized rebel forces, almost unifying the north on the surface.

The protagonist Gao Huan was Erzhu Rong's trusted adviser, and made great contributions when Erzhu Rong usurped power and defeated Ge Rong, so he was also entrusted with important tasks and initially held military power.

So at the beginning of the second stage, Gao Huan led his troops to cooperate with other troops to defeat Yang Kan, Xing Gao and other forces, and was promoted to Jinzhou Governor.

This appointment was both an emphasis on Gao Huan and a warning.

The emphasis was that Jinzhou was considered the key to Erzhu Rong's hinterland, with a large population, fertile land, developed economy, and developed transportation. It can be said to be a first-class good place.

The warning is that Jinzhou is the hinterland. In the east, south, west and north, there are either Erzhu Rong's clan confidants or Gao Huan's enemy Heba Yue, who keeps a close eye on Gao Huan. Although he lives a good life, he has lost strategic mobility.

Because Erzhu Rong at this time has realized that Gao Huan is a very talented person, but he is unwilling to be inferior to others. He has also had many experiences of rebellion before, so he uses him and guards against him.

Gao Huan felt Erzhu Rong's defense, and he was powerful, so he hid his ambitions and quietly hid in Jinzhou.

According to this script, Gao Huan can't make any waves, and he has to work for the Erzhu family honestly.

Unless he lives a long life, like Sima Yi, he can outlast several generations of the Erzhu family and hold a high position. Maybe he can make a XX change in his later years.

However, the same sentence is still that Erzhu Rong said he was Cao Cao, but he was actually Dong Zhuo, and the destiny was not on him, the Erzhu family.

Therefore, the first few episodes of the second phase of "Chi Le Chuan" are from the perspective of Jinzhou Gao Huan's power and the perspective of the court's high-level officials, which leads to the death of Erzhu Rong.

When filming the death of Erzhu Rong, Wei Yang deliberately canceled his notice for the day and sat in person with director Zhang Yongxin to watch the filming of this turning point of the whole play.

Let me introduce the background. Erzhu Rong launched the Heyin Rebellion, killed the queen mother and the young emperor, and took control of the power. Because his wings were not yet full, he established the clan member Changle Wang Yuan Ziyou as the emperor.

As Erzhu Rong became more and more powerful, his ambitions continued to expand, and the conflicts between him and the puppet emperor Yuan Ziyou increased.

Yuan Ziyou was dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Erzhu family, and was even more afraid of his own country being usurped and his own fate, and he did not want to be a king who lost his country.

So he planned to kill Erzhu Rong.

In all dynasties, the struggle between puppet emperors and powerful officials was common.

Among them, it is more common for powerful ministers to depose the emperor, while it is rare for the puppet emperors in a weak position to kill the powerful ministers.

Among them, the Han Dynasty was the peak period. Emperor He of Han killed the Dou family, Emperor Heng of Han killed the general Liang Ji, and to expand it a little, Emperor Xuan of Han later liquidated the Wei family, which was also a counter-killing.

The most famous one is Emperor Xian of Han killing Dong Zhuo. Of course, the main planner and implementer was Wang Yun, and Emperor Xian of Han was the background board.

Later, Emperor Xian of Han also wanted to deal with Cao Cao again, but failed.

When Cao Cao's descendant Cao Mao became a puppet of the Sima family, he also fought back in anger, but was killed on the street. Although he failed, he also nailed the Sima family to the pillar of shame.

The three kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty at the end of the Han Dynasty were very close to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Everyone has heard the stories of powerful ministers deposing emperors and puppet emperors killing powerful ministers, so both sides were prepared, which also increased the difficulty out of thin air.

Yuan Ziyou was definitely a capable emperor. After planning to kill Erzhu Rong, he started his own actions.

The first is to show weakness and paralyze Erzhu Rong and others to avoid being abolished. The second is to gather party members to ensure that there is enough counter-killing power in hand. The third is to instigate the other party's manpower, cooperate internally and externally, and strike a fatal blow. The fourth is to make a good aftermath plan to prevent Erzhu Rong's forces from counterattacking.

Judging from its series of measures, this plan is still very thorough and well implemented.

Erzhu Rong never doubted Yuan Ziyou from beginning to end, even if someone reminded him many times, including Gao Huan, but he didn't care.

Yuan Ziyou also relied on the prestige of the Northern Wei court and his dissatisfaction with Erzhu Rong to win over many capable people and accumulate a certain amount of power.

The most important thing is that Yuan Ziyou won over the key figure-Xi Yi.

Who is this person? He is Erzhu Rong's cousin, equivalent to the third in command of Erzhu Rong's group, second only to Erzhu Rong himself and Yuan Tianmu, and his status is higher than some of Erzhu's relatives.

This person's betrayal is more excessive than Lu Bu's backstabbing of Dong Zhuo.

In fact, Lü's position in Dong Zhuo's group was not high. He was more of a bodyguard and a close friend. He could not be compared with Xi Yi, who was more like a son-in-law, Niu Fu, who was not only fatal, but also shook the foundation.

Killing Erzhu Rong and Yuan Tianmu, theoretically, Xi Yi had the hope of inheriting their power and stabilizing the overall situation.

When making this script, Wei Yang noticed this key figure. He and other screenwriters made many guesses about why he betrayed Erzhu Rong.

The most realistic consideration was for power.

Killing Erzhu Rong and Yuan Tianmu made him the highest-ranking person in Erzhu Rong's group. Perhaps he thought he could replace Erzhu Rong, but he failed.

A deeper consideration was the camp.

Erzhu Rong was a Qihu, and Xi Yi was a Xianbei. He did not want the Xianbei Dynasty of Northern Wei to be ruined, so he stood on the side of Yuan Ziyou.

A more romantic idea was that Xi Yi was a loyal and good person in Northern Wei from beginning to end.

He was forced to take refuge with his cousin Er Zhurong because of the troubled times. Later Er Zhurong came to power, and he contributed because Er Zhurong was indeed his protector at that time.

Before the Heyin Incident, many people saw Er Zhurong's ambition, but on the surface he was indeed Optimus Prime of the Northern Wei Dynasty. His true face was only exposed after Heyin.

Perhaps from this moment on, Xi Yi decided to part ways with Er Zhurong, or even kill him.

There have been too many instances in history where comrades-in-arms turned into enemies because of different Taoist beliefs. Didn’t Xiao He, who could be called Cao Cao’s father Xun Yu, hang himself to show his ambition after he became duke?

Wei Yang and others believe that Xi Yi should have these three ideas, and maybe even more of the first two.

But in the final script, the third option was chosen. The reason is very simple. TV dramas are also a kind of art, and art requires romance.

A Xianbei aristocrat who is greedy for power and has a high self-esteem, and a loyal man who knows the risks but has no hesitation in giving up his high status to serve the monarch. It is self-evident that which one is impressive.

Although "Celechuan" is a biographical drama about Gao Huan, there are many highlights in other characters.

As far as Wei Yang is concerned personally, the element of [loyalty] is absolutely indispensable in this kind of work based on the theme of kings and hegemons.

Whether under Gao Huan, under Yuwen Tai, under Er Zhurong, or even under the villain Ge Rong, there were such loyal ministers. Naturally, the Northern Wei Dynasty also had to have its own loyal ministers.

Yuan Ziyou is a fierce emperor who is not willing to be humiliated, so he should have his own loyal people.

This scene is the highlight of Yuan Ziyou and Xi Yi, and it is also the final swan song of a generation of hero Er Zhu Rong.

In this palace coup in history, the killing was very neat. Yuan Ziyou personally drew his sword and struck first. Others swarmed up and killed Er Zhurong, Yuan Tianmu, Er Zhurong's son and others.

But when filming a TV series, you have to add some scenes. Er Zhurong is also an important role after all, so the minimum limit cannot be too hasty.

Therefore, in this scene, Yuan Ziyou was arranged to attack Er Zhurong personally first, and others rushed forward. Yuan Tianmu died tragically on the spot. Er Zhurong temporarily withstood it with his martial arts. Afterwards, the accompanying guards were led by Er Zhurong's son. He fought his way into the hall with all his might.

After a period of fighting, Er Zhurong and others were outnumbered. In the end, only a few people were left, and they were seriously injured.

At this time, Xi Yi came out, and his cousins ​​and Yuan Ziyou exchanged some words. Er Zhurong smiled miserably and refused to be captured without mercy. He fought with a knife and eventually died in an ambush.

…

"Haha, I regret not listening to the words of He Liuhun (Gao Huan) and Shilong (Er Zhu Shilong). Yuan's son, Yuan Wei's energy has been exhausted. Although Er Zhurong died today, there is still another Tianzhu general. "

After that, Hu Jun, with disheveled hair and blood all over his body, staggered towards Yuan Ziyou's direction, and was then overwhelmed by the armored sergeants.

"Your Majesty, the evil thief Erzhu is about to be executed."

An armored veteran knelt on one knee, holding a bloody human head in his hands. Xi Yi, played by Liu Yijun, closed his eyes in a complicated manner, then showed a firm look, turned around and bowed down.

"The rebels will be killed, God bless the Wei Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, many generals and soldiers in the hall bowed down and shouted in unison.

"The rebels will be killed, God bless the Wei Dynasty!"

After three calls, director Zhang Yongxin behind the monitor glanced at Boss Wei and saw that he had no reaction, then picked up the speaker.

"Okay, everyone, don't move. Let's add a panoramic view and make the sound louder and more powerful."

A few more scenes were added, and Er Zhurong's death was finally filmed. What followed was how Yuan Ziyou and others arranged the aftermath. Strictly speaking, the plan was correct, but the force was too weak and failed to control the situation, and was eventually destroyed by the Er Zhu Group.

Wei Yang did not continue to care about the subsequent filming. The death of Er Zhurong was filmed, and Zhang Yongxin had no problems with the remaining scenes.

Including this shooting, Wei Yang actually didn't interfere much. At most, he gave suggestions. Most of the shooting work was done by Zhang himself. After all, he was the famous director of Blue Whale, and his people were really capable.

After talking to the director, Wei Yang called over his assistant, and then walked to the main hall.

Other actors have already moved on to prepare for the next scene. The dead actors are resting or leaving, and the crew is cleaning up.

Hu Jun, who was covered in blood, was holding his own "human head" and looking up and down, marveling at it.

"Don't tell me, the props are well made and look very similar."

Wei Yang heard the words and answered: "3D printing, the simulation level is much better than before. If you like it, take it home."

"Forget it, it's really unlucky."

Hu Jun shook his head and looked at the flowers in Wei Yang's hand. He knew they were final flowers and said in surprise: "Hey, Mr. Wei personally sent the flowers. I'm so embarrassed."

After he finished filming this scene, he has basically completed the countdown. At most, there are some minor adjustments, and he will probably leave the group in a few days.

Wei Yang smiled: "You also know that I am too busy in the team, so I may not be able to see you off at that time, so I want to express my feelings in advance."

In addition to flowers, Wei Yang also took two boxes, which contained peripheral items from "Celechuan" and personal props for the character Er Zhurong. They were not particularly valuable, but they were quite commemorative.

"Too polite."

Hu Jun was a little flattered. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for the crew to express their feelings after the actors have finished filming.

The ceremony and the things are very different, but who delivers them is different.

There were many guest actors from the "Celechuan" crew, and many were completed. Boss Wei also made an appearance, but Hu Jun was the first to personally deliver flowers and gifts.

You know, Wei Yang is not only the leading actor and producer, but also a big shot in the entertainment industry, and even the richest man today. Considering these status halos, Boss Wei came to personally bid farewell to the filming, even an old hand like Hu Jun felt honored.

After saying goodbye and taking photos, Wei Yang left first.

He reserved one day today. In addition to watching this play, he also planned to accompany Liu Shishi and her mother who had not left yet.

Hu Jun couldn't help but posted a Weibo to show off the photo just now.

To be honest, big-name directors have worked together before, but this is really the first time to be the richest man.

Until now, he still doesn't understand. They are all actors, why is he getting worse and worse, while Wei Yang has become the richest man at a young age.

They are all in the same industry, why is the gap so big!

When Wei Yang arrived at Jiangnan Huayuan, Hu Jun's Weibo had already been on the hot search.

In fact, since the crew of "Chi Le Chuan" started filming, many artists have taken photos with Boss Wei and posted Weibo, which more or less exposed some details.

At least some of Wei Yang's makeup for Gao Huan are well known to the public, and there are many media and even self-media secretly photographing them.

The filming clips were hardly leaked, and the crew watched them strictly. If someone took a photo and posted it online, they could also apply to the platform to remove it.

But the Reuters footage was ambiguous, and "Chi Le Chuan" turned a blind eye to it. Although this would lead to some information leakage, it also increased the attention and popularity of the crew.

This is because these artist photos and Reuters, plus Wei Yang's starring role and the luxurious lineup, "Chi Le Chuan" became popular before it was broadcast.

Now the crew is still filming, and its attention on the Internet is comparable to some small-time popular dramas on the air.

Some platforms such as Tieba, Weibo, and Zhihu have already had corresponding special areas, and many people have also become concerned about this relatively unpopular history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Some bloggers with very sensitive noses have already started making related videos, ready to eat up this wave of traffic.

Even online writers have joined in the fun, and there are several books on historical themes from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, most of which are about Gao Huan.

These people are planning to fight a protracted war. After all, it would be too much to wait until "Chi Le Chuan" is broadcast before grabbing traffic.

It is better to prepare early. In case of accumulation, maybe you can get a big wave.

These self-media and online writers can see these things, not to mention the film and television industry.

As early as when "Chi Le Chuan" was established, there were rumors about several projects on the theme of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Last year, "Chi Le Chuan" was delayed for a while, and two dramas have already started filming first, while others are waiting and watching.

This year, "Chi Le Chuan" officially started filming, and several crews also started filming with the project, including well-known companies in the industry such as Huanyu and Xinli.

Wei Yang asked around, and the damn girl Huanyu was going to shoot "Empress Dugu", the story of Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo.

Xinli was stubborn and seemed to be shooting the story of Gao Huan. The name was tentatively set to be "Legend of Northern Qi", which clearly wanted to compete with Boss Wei.

Wei Yang thought he had heard it wrong at first, but when he thought about the fact that Penguin was standing behind Xinli, he understood.

The competition was fake, but the popularity was real. If Xinli failed, it would take the blame, and Penguin would get enough traffic and popularity.

This is because they can't win head-on, so they are going to play tricks...
