Chapter 423, Loyalty, Loyalty!

"Hahahahaha"

Xie Qingya was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.

Her charm and cold temperament were just disguises.

Under this disguise.

It was an unparalleled ambition.

An ambition that few people could see.

Her beautiful appearance and temperament.

It was indeed a disguise.

"Many men say 'understand me', but you are the first person who really understands me." Xie Qingya said lightly: "Many times, men think that women can only get results and status through appearance, figure, and family background. But few people know that we can also get everything in this world through our own wisdom."

"Wisdom, ambition, desire. I just want to be the president of Huaying, I want to dominate, master, and control"

And wanting to dominate, master, and control.

Her position is absolutely contrary to the world of Hollywood.

Contrary to Wang Chen.

"So, don't lose."

"Guan Yunchang, she wants you."

"I'm not Guan Yunchang, I'm Li Yun."

"For her, Cao Cao, aren't you Guan Yunchang? Hahaha! She wants to control, dominate, and control you too." The director personality teased Li Yun next to him.

You are the object that a woman wants to 'control, dominate'.

This is definitely not a compliment.

"I am Li Yun, I am Kong Ming, I am Lu Bu, but I am definitely not Guan Yunchang." Li Yun said lightly: "I don't have any morals and ideas to be loyal to the Lord. I will only act according to my inner desires."

From the inner desires.

Li Yun felt that he should be more like. Lu Bu.

That kind of inner pursuit of desires.

But he has the bottom line and morality of Kong Ming.

Maybe he doesn't just want to be Lu Bu and Kong Ming, but wants to be a hegemon.

Whatever.

At this time.

Li Yun also went to the set of "October Siege".

Although the main stage background of "October Besieged City" is in Hong Kong, in fact, a movie city was built in Shanghai to reproduce the scene of the original Hong Kong dock city.

The absolute 1:1 reproduction alone cost nearly 80 million.

Thanks to this, the project has had a script since the 1990s, and it has been 10 years now.

It took 20 years to get the current project established and the current shooting.

At this time, Chen Kexin, as a producer, screenwriter, and supervisor, came.

He was also a little nervous.

After all, he has been running around for 15 years for this script.

How many 15 years are there in life?

For this October Besieged City.

There is also the awareness that only allows oneself to succeed, not to fail.

Although Li Yun was invited to be the director.

In fact, Chen Kexin does not intend to give up too much of his rights.

This is his own script.

A script that he has worked hard on for 15 years.

Now he really has no time to take care of too much, so he thought of asking Li Yun to help.

And Li Yun's strength is indeed beyond doubt here.

Asian Film Window.

And the now popular "Let the Bullets Fly".

Undoubtedly prove one thing.

For the profession of director.

For the profession of actor.

Li Yun's strength is beyond doubt.

Even the old strongman Li Mo is slightly inferior to him.

Old.

Now is a new era.

I don't know if the sailboat of the new era can catch up with him, an old man.

The future is unknown.

But "October Besieged City" is a sharp sword.

It should be able to make a sharp cut in the Chinese entertainment film circle.

Leave your own light and shadow.

Then, what should come will come.

The lineup of actors.

It can be said to be luxurious.

This group portrait movie, Master Zhen of Zhen Zidan, Wang Xueqi, and Fan Bingbing of Jiahe.

There are also various celebrity actors.

Even Jacky Cheung, Tony Leung, these big players came here to guest star.

Two words, connections.

Two words, face.

Xie Qingya has enough face and connections in her eyes, and is the representative of Huaying's faction.

A woman who may become the president of Huaying in the future.

Although the probability is not too high at present.

But her connections and her voice still play a decisive role here.

But betting on this matter.

They are both running on both sides.

What's more, she is leading the most internal investment, unlike her opponent Wang Chen, who is leading the introduction.

Face lineup funds.

When all of this is gathered in this all-star luxury lineup.

There will be a small problem.

When many masters gather here.

Who can obey whom?

"This time, I always feel that the biggest problem is not external, but internal."

Xie Tingfengfeng said at this time.

The problem with the all-star lineup.

Probably no one will obey anyone.

"I think there are many external problems. Emperor Entertainment has withdrawn its investment." Zhen Zidan said there at this time.

As for why the withdrawal of investment, there are not so many reasons.

Large companies often withdraw their investment for no reason.

It is a comprehensive judgment based on multiple reasons.

It is judged that a certain movie is not worth investing in.

Or the risk is too great.

So great that the return on investment can be calculated with cold calculations.

It is not even as good as depositing it in the bank.

"So sir, do you know why Emperor Entertainment Group is withdrawing its investment?"

"It's very simple. Don't be optimistic about this movie with the main theme called October Siege." Donnie Yen joked: "There are new ways to invest."

It's not just casting directors who want to run to Hollywood.

Investors also want to go there.

No matter how bad it is, we still have to do something about combining Chinese and Western things.

This is the general trend, right?

As resources become more and more concentrated, small and medium-sized directors have reached the point of no where to go.

"Hmm, Hollywood, is it really that good? Not necessarily. I think if you have money to invest in domestic movies, you will definitely be able to make good ones." Xie Tingfengfeng surprisingly felt a bit like an angry youth.

"Hahaha, this is not something we need to focus on. We only need to make good works, do our job well, and present the works. Good works don't care whether they are from Hollywood or domestically produced."

The senior actor Wang Xueqi next to him didn't have so many grudges.

He feels it is more important to pursue the art itself of the work.

And the script "October Siege".

He felt that it could be regarded as a 'good work'.

Although it cannot reach the level of 'excellent', it is still pretty good. With this lineup, the quality of the movie should eventually reach a good level.

It depends on whether the director team and the actor team can make the script "excellent".

Director team.

Li Yun.

One of the starring roles, Li Yun.

This young, hot young star.

A star who also has a good status in mainland China.

A ‘big star’ in the Hong Kong circle.

In fact, the people who feel the most about Li Yun are probably Donnie Yen and Xie Tingfengfeng

One is a former partner, and the other is a former rival.

In a daze.

Still competing yesterday.

But now, the other party has surpassed him.

As a director.

As an actor.

Standing on the same stage as big stars like Wang Xueqi.

This is admirable

I have to talk about the coffee position.

Today's Li Yun is definitely no less than Donnie Yen, a Mesozoic martial arts actor.

You know, Donnie Yen is the leading martial arts star in Hong Kong and even China.

One of the top.

Now in terms of celebrity status, they have all reached the level of ‘big stars’.

From the first time we met in "Sha Po Lang".

Then to "Ip Man".

And then to today's "October Siege".

After three days of separation, I saw him with admiration. Now, he is on an equal footing. Now, coupled with his achievements as a director.

Not to mention Xie Tingfengfeng, everyone is of the younger generation.

We were rivals back then.

but now.

At this time, Xie Tingfengfeng said.

"Do you think he can be a good director?"

"If nothing else happens, he can." Zhen Zidan paused and said, "I think he can."

"I don't think, in fact, I think that him being a director should be the main reason for Emperor's divestment."

Xie Tingfengfeng said: "I remember that the director of "October Siege" was appointed Chen Desheng, but now he has been replaced by a director with less experience."

Chen Desheng's resume can be said to be even better. As China's first superhero movie in the last century, "Black Man" also achieved good results.

"Qualifications can explain the past era, but they cannot determine the results of the new era. Li Yun, his movies are at least on the road to chasing the new era." At this time, Donnie Yen shook his head.

but.

Li Yun’s problem probably lies in ‘comedy’, ‘emotional literature’ and ‘action film’.

These elements have all been tried and proven by him.

It's like the "October Siege" in front of me.

As a combination of commercial action and main theme plot, it also has a profound core.

To take a step back, it is true that a person with strong control is needed to control the movie.

To bring those complex elements together.

Express it.

This is definitely not an easy task.

There is nothing comic about the October Siege.

There is no delicate emotion either.

He's rugged.

Unbelievably rough.

To the point of heaviness.

Deep, heavy, thick.

if you can.

Choose between director Chen Desheng and Li Yunli.

Who will you choose?

Answer

"Chen Kexin, you think Li Yun's resume is shallow, but you also like his talent as a director, so you choose him to be your director." At this time, Liu Tianwang said calmly from the side.

"How can you say that?"

Chen Kexin said with a bit of laughter and tears: "I sincerely hope that my movie can be made well. This is the result of so many years of hard work. How can it be ruined by others?"

"Director Chen, how long have we known each other?"

"Fifteen or twenty years? It's been a long time anyway."

"Yeah, it's been a long time anyway. The entire Xiangjiang circle is so big. If we don't know each other, it's unlikely."

Liu Dehua said at this time.

Chen Kexin indeed sighed.

"Yes, after so many years, the first investor who was optimistic about my script has died."

This is not the case for singles who are besieged in October and have a bad fate.

The first investor to be optimistic about this movie.

Today, the grass on the grave is also three feet tall.

From birth to now, I have had a lot of misfortunes.

But no matter how unfortunate the fate is, this is something that has been made with great effort.

"So I want him to present the best posture in my heart to the world, to all the audiences, the October Siege in my heart, to present the difficulties and obstacles of the October Revolution to the world, and to present that history to the world in the way in my heart."

"No one can understand the October Siege better than me. So I don't need a filmmaker who can threaten my dominance."

Chen Desheng, Chen Kexin has considered it. And he has a good relationship with him, but now it seems that Chen Desheng can't have a good resume, so he will choose to lead himself.

So what I need is a powerful deputy.

An excellent director.

But this excellent director must not be above me because this is my movie.

It belongs only to me.

No one can come to dictate the movie.

No one can!

And Li Yun happens to be a talented director who he can control.

Give him the title of chief director.

But the actual control of the crew is himself.

This is what Chen Kexin wanted to do, and the reason why she chose Li Yun.

The cast of this movie is very luxurious.

It can even be described as arrogant.

There are countless guest stars.

They are all big stars who can be named.

An all-star cast.

Huaying’s connections are really amazing.

Xie Qingya actually got all these guys here.

“Interesting.”

Li Yun looked at the script of October Siege.

Sitting alone in his room in silence.

Looking at the script.

The outline of the script is very interesting. The upper class, the middle class, and the lower class, these people gathered together with different purposes to protect Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

The Revolution of 1911.

Take this historical node as the background.

Between the alternation of the old era and the new era.

In the history book, it is a short sentence, a shallow page of paper.

But for that node in history.

How much blood and sweat?

How much blood and separation are intertwined.

Sun Yat-sen was so brilliant, people seemed to only remember those heroes with names.

And those without names.

Hidden in the dark history.

There were sins, tragedies, heroes, bears, decent people, and villains.

And Li Yun.

As an actor, he just played a donkey here.

Yan Xiaoguo.

At this time, Li Yun was standing in a mansion in a trance. Maids, slaves, beautiful and pure girls, strong and powerful warriors and guards, everything that all powerful officials had, were all here.

The long braid was tied on the head.

Since I can remember...

It was natural to hang it on my head.

This is tradition, this is glory, this is the proudest symbol of the Manchus.

The symbol of the Qing Empire.

This powerful country.

Dynasty.

Dominating the Central Plains.

Since I can remember.

The teachings of my parents made me remember this glory firmly.

For Li Yun, this feeling is also very strong.

The country is really good to me.

It is truly worthy of the great grace of the emperor for my family, including me.

I have been learning from Mr. Huang En since I was 9 years old.

I have not encountered any setbacks along the way, because the grace of the emperor for generations is not just talk.

At the age of 16, he began to make achievements. The emperor's achievements are all in himself. With his strong martial arts, he cleared many people for the court.

Whether it is the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Or the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

On the battlefield, there are the figures of Yan Xiaoguo and his troops.

At the age of 30, he was already an important official of the court.

Official position, martial arts, private soldiers, gold and silver treasures.

More importantly, he also has the opportunity to follow his teacher Chen Shaobai to see the world clearly.

That feeling arises spontaneously.

It is the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and serving the country.

Li Yun had only felt this feeling in Zhuge Kongming before. Loyalty and righteousness, the king treats me as a national hero, and I will repay the king with my heart and soul.

I will serve you until my death, and I dare not disobey.

At this moment, Li Yun murmured in his heart.

"Incredible, I actually feel that the Qing Dynasty is a good dynasty from the bottom of my heart."

"Yes, good or bad is always subjective, because I am the vested interest, so I will spend my whole life, even my life, to maintain this system."

"Loyalty is born in my mind! There is no way to get rid of this mark."

"Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!"

"I will serve the Qing Dynasty until my death!"

Loyalty and betrayal.

Maybe.

Being a loyal minister loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

Not bad.

Just when Li Yun thought so.

Li Yun suddenly changed.

He found that his consciousness was pulled out of Yan Xiaoguo's consciousness.

Li Yun felt that he had become someone else.

This time he was not a guy with three generations of officials.
