There once was such a person in China.

At the age of 17, he went to the battlefield, led 800 cavalrymen to raid the Huns, killed 2,028 enemies, beheaded the Chanyu's grandfather, captured the Chanyu's uncle, and was granted the title of Guanjun Hou.

At the age of 19, he was promoted to General of Cavalry. He went on expeditions against the Xiongnu twice in one year, annihilated more than 40,000 enemies, and recovered the Hexi Plain, leaving the Xiongnu with only the lamentation that "the loss of Mount Yanzhi has made our women lose face. The loss of Mount Qilian has caused our livestock to stop breeding."

At the age of 22, he led the army to attack the Xiongnu again, marching northward for more than 2,000 miles, annihilating more than 70,000 enemies, and once approaching Bohai Sea (now Lake Baikal), leaving the allusion of Fenglangjuxu in Chinese history. After this battle, "the Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert." In the same year, he was promoted to Grand Marshal, becoming the highest military commander of the empire at the age of 22.

Died in bed at the age of 24.

It seems that he came to this world just to drive away the Huns and leave behind the historical story of Fenglangjuxu.

This man's name was Huo Qubing.

From the illegitimate son of a slave girl in the princess's mansion, he rose rapidly to become the supreme military commander of the Han Dynasty. He was both wise and brave, invincible in every battle. Even the suspicious Emperor Wu of Han had great trust in him. Such a life can only be described by the word "cheating".

The beauty of a meteor is that it suddenly dims and disappears after shining brightly for the most part, and Huo Qubing is undoubtedly such a meteor. In the vast sea of ​​historical stars, he is also one of the brightest stars.

Although he died at the young age of 24, his achievements are recorded in history and he has become a legend in the minds of countless literati and military officers in later generations. Fenglangjuxu has also become one of the highest professional achievements that countless military officers in later generations aspire to.

To some extent, Huo Qubing's death also made him successful.

Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world.

The beauty's gray hair and the hero's old age are the most tragic things. There are many heroes in this world who were upright in their youth, but became despicable in their old age, leaving behind endless infamy.

For example, Wang Jingwei and Yan Song.

Huo Qubing died too early, so early that he had not had time to make mistakes, nor to be suspected by Emperor Wu of Han because of his achievements, nor to be corrupted by power and become a disgusting politician. He died of illness in his best, most vigorous and most glamorous years, so what remains in the minds of future generations is the clean, simple, clear and bright appearance of a young man. He has forever become the crystal clear morning dew on the flowers, and all the filth in this world has nothing to do with him.

Huo Qubing's life of great military achievements but young death undoubtedly fits the youth theme of the video competition.

Le Jing also decided to use film to show the magnificent and legendary life of Huo Qubing.

There is still one month left before the competition deadline. Le Jing has to go to the crew to work during the day, and he has to update an episode of "Little People" every week. Now there is a movie about Huo Qubing. He can imagine that even sleeping will be a luxury in the next month.

Anyway, he is still young and can hold on. At worst, he can just spend a little more money on energy drinks. After he gets through this month, he will feel a little more relaxed.

…

The next day, Le Jing arrived at the crew at around 7:30.

Today is the day when the actors join the crew. Le Jing arrived relatively early and only a few actors showed up.

He was busy for a long time, and during this time, actors came to the set one after another.

The actor who plays Zheng Yiliang is a young man with rosy lips and white teeth. He looks to be in his twenties and is quite good-looking, but he does not look like Zheng Yiliang at all with a big beard.

As for the actor who played Li Jingran, Le Jing also met him. How should I put it? Although it sounds a bit narcissistic, he really thinks he is not as handsome as him.

Appearance is a matter of opinion, but the key is that this actor has a bad temperament, his expression is exaggerated, and his temperament is greasy. He looks like a gigolo in a nightclub and not like a literati at all.

Le Jing believes that he still has the temperament of a scholar, but when he puts on glasses and sneers at the mirror, he looks like a gentleman, a beast in human clothing (…) He is helpless about this and can only say that he is born with the aura of a villain.

But now Li Jingran is dead, not even his ashes are left, so it doesn't matter who the future generations want to play the role. Didn't you see that Heshen, the beautiful boy in the history books, was also played by Wang Gang? Moreover, Le Jing is just a small assistant director, and he has no right to comment on the casting.

Anyway, that was Li Jingran, what did it have to do with him, Le Jing?

Time passed quickly in the busy schedule, the sun rose higher and higher, but the leading actor Bai Lang was nowhere to be seen. Seeing Director Li's face getting darker and darker, and the air pressure getting lower and lower, the crew members worked very carefully, fearing that they would ignite the volcano.

"Call Bai Lang's agent!" Director Li ordered Le Jing with a dark face, "Ask Bai Lang why he can come?!"

The call was quickly connected, and a clear female voice rang out, "Hello, who is this?"

"I'm a staff member of the crew of "Republic of China Literary Masters". Our crew has already made an appointment with Mr. Bai Lang to come here to film today. What are you doing...?"

The other party said casually: "It's only half past nine now, you guys wait a moment, our Alang hasn't gotten up yet." Then he hung up the phone without waiting for Le Jing to answer.

Le Jing had turned on the external sound system before, so Director Li naturally heard the other party's agent's reply. Director Li's face, which was already very dark, became even darker than the bottom of a pot, and he was about to explode.

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhou Jinsen immediately changed the subject: "Anyway, almost everyone has arrived, and it's the same for us to shoot other people's scenes."

Director Li was angry, but he had no choice but to act like a big shot and not come. Although he was the director, Bai Lang had someone above him and brought money into the group, so he really couldn't do anything to him. I guess Bai Lang knew this, so he was fearless and dared to act like a big shot and be late on the first day.

Although he had no choice but to give in, he still remembered Bai Lang in his heart. Is there any actor in the entertainment industry who will remain popular forever? Just because he can't deal with him now doesn't mean he can never deal with him in the future!

The original plan for the first scene was to have a few shots of Bai Lang teaching at the podium, but now it could only be replaced with shots of the actress playing Bai Shaoyao singing in the ballroom.

In order to have a good omen, the first scene was very simple, and we just wanted to pass it in one take. So we finished shooting it very quickly this time.

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Bai Lang finally swaggered into the crew, with more than a dozen people following him in front and behind. It didn't look like he was here to film a movie, but rather like Empress Dowager Cixi coming out of the palace.

Director Li had a dark face. "Bai Lang, why did you come so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

As a young and handsome guy favored by investors, Bai Lang naturally looks good. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and deep eyes, three-dimensional facial features, a tall and straight body, long legs, and a hormone-filled look.

But... as soon as he opened his mouth, it was clear that he was nothing but a fool.

Anyone could understand that Director Li was speaking in a sarcastic way. But it was unclear whether Bai Lang was a fool or just arrogant. Instead of apologizing, he yawned and complained to his agent about what Director Li said: "Sister Sun, you see, I told you that you were early. I would have slept a little longer if I had known."

Manager Sister Sun smiled awkwardly and tried to make amends, "Our A-Lang filmed all night yesterday, so he slept a little longer today. Sorry to have kept everyone waiting for so long."

Zhou Jinsen quickly came over to smooth things over, "It's okay, it's okay. There's nothing to do on the first day anyway. Makeup artist, come quickly, do your makeup for Brother Bai. We'll shoot his scene later."

So Bai Lang went to put on makeup without even saying hello.

Le Jing took a quick glance and felt that Director Li's face had turned blue. He must be very angry.

After seeing Bai Lang's behavior today, Le Jing is now quite worried about the future of the crew.

With Director Li's temper, he would quarrel with Bai Lang sooner or later. By then, Bai Lang would be fine with the support of the investors, but Director Li would be in trouble. The worst possible scenario is that Director Li would be fired by the investors. Even if Le Jing, the assistant director, stayed in the crew, he would be very upset.

Although he was just an assistant director, he wanted to make a good movie. After all, this drama would be included in his resume in the future! If this drama turned out to be a big flop, it would be embarrassing for him in the future.

He now only hopes that although Bai Lang has a bad temper and is uneducated, his acting skills are still decent, otherwise this TV series will really fall into the abyss of a bad movie.

But the reality is, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

Bai Lang lives up to his dandy demeanor when he first appears, but he is actually a complete idiot at heart and he has no acting skills at all!

"Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" uses a method of interweaving direct narration and flashback. The story begins with Li Jingran's funeral, but the murderer of Li Jingran seems to be someone else. In order to avenge his friend, the protagonist Zhou Dezhang walks between the black and white worlds, looking for clues to find out the truth. As an important male supporting role, Li Jingran is the white moonlight who always lives in the protagonist Zhou Dezhang's memory.

Simply put, "Chronicles of Writers of the Republic of China" is a criminal investigation suspense drama that uses the banner of writers of the Republic of China and disguises itself as a Republic of China drama. It contains many crime-solving plots, so this TV series can also be called "The Famous Detective Zhou Dezhang".

Bai Lang filmed the first episode, the scene where Zhou Dezhang knelt in front of Li Jingran's mourning hall and vowed to avenge his friend.

The male lead Bai Lang did one thing in front of the camera - he persisted in posing.

He wasn't shooting a movie, he was shooting a fashion magazine.

To be honest, Al's acting skills are better than his, and he's cheaper. So Le Jing really doesn't understand why the investors would ask Bai Lang to perform.

After Director Li shouted "Cut" several times, Bai Lang burst out: "I think I shot it well, why is it cut?!"

Director Li's face was tense, and his cheek muscles twitched violently, "Your best friend passed away, and you're not even crying. There's not even a trace of sadness on your face. How can you call this good?!"

Bai Lang shouted back confidently, "There's still a post-production phase! You can just use AI to simulate and piece it together!"

Director Li was so angry at this that he fell backwards.

In the interstellar age, the most important reason why AI movies have failed to replace real movies is that the performances of AI actors lack human touch.

Humans are very complex animals, and human emotions are equally complex. Different people will have different expressions at different times and in different situations for the same thing. This kind of personal and unique emotion cannot be easily simulated by AI.

So even if the cost of AI movies is very low, directors with a little bit of ambition will still choose real actors to make movies. Although the cost will be higher, the effect of the movie will be better.

And precisely because of the cheap option of AI movies, actors have been refining their acting skills in order not to be eliminated by the times. If an actor's acting skills are not even as good as AI, then his acting career will end here.

As an actor, Bai Lang said that he wanted post-production AI to replace his performance. The effect of this sentence is similar to that of a certain female star on Earth who was not self-satisfied with the cutouts. No wonder Director Li was so angry.

Director Li was furious: "Why did we spend so much money to invite you? Let's just make an AI movie!"

Bai Lang yelled back, "If it weren't for my face, the audience wouldn't know who you are! My influence is your guarantee of box office success! What you paid for is my influence and fans!"

Director Li nodded vigorously, his body shaking with anger: "Okay, okay." He called the producer directly, turning on the speakerphone, and then in front of all the staff and actors in the studio, he told the producer everything about the argument between the two of them.

"Okay, I know what happened, so calm down. I'll call Bai Lang and I'll give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

A few seconds later, Bai Lang's phone rang. He answered the phone with a gloomy face. He didn't know what the producer said on the other end of the phone, but he saw Bai Lang's face getting uglier and uglier, and he stared at Director Li with a look as if poisoned.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sister Sun hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Hey, Director Li, our Alang is still young and doesn't know much. Please be magnanimous and don't argue with him. I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf."

Director Li asked coldly, "You on his behalf? You are not his parents, what qualifications do you have to apologize to me on his behalf? Besides..." He glanced at Bai Lang, who was about to explode with anger, with a half-smile: "Whether he wants to apologize or not is still unclear."

Sister Sun naturally noticed Bai Lang's resentful look, and immediately tugged at his sleeve fiercely, whispering a warning: "Bai Lang!"

Bai Lang took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and groaned while holding his head high: "I'm sorry."

"What did you say? My ears are not very good, I didn't hear clearly."

"I said I'm sorry!!"

Director Li sneered repeatedly. According to his previous temper, this matter would definitely not be let go, but now it is different from the past. Bai Lang is a person protected by the investor. Even if he, the director, is removed, Bai Lang will be safe. In the final analysis, this drama was originally made by the sponsor to promote Bai Lang.

So even though he was holding his breath, he could only hold it high and then put it down gently. He no longer paid attention to Bai Lang and said coldly, "Take a half-hour break."

In response to him, Bai Lang strode away from the set.

In the next few days, Bai Lang and Director Li had constant friction. Although Bai Lang restrained himself a lot because of the producer's warning and did not openly confront Director Li, he was still angry and started to get angry at the staff. Even Le Jing was scolded by him several times.

and……

It seems that because he is Director Li's assistant, he seems to be targeted by Bai Lang.

"Hey, you! The one standing against the wall, yes, that's you, come here."

Le Jing had originally closed his eyes to rest, while thinking about the plot of the second episode of "Little Man" this Saturday. When he heard Bai Lang's commanding voice, he opened his eyes and met his malicious eyes.

Oh no.

This idiot is here to cause trouble again.

He thought about it and secretly opened the terminal to record the video.

"What do you want from me?"

Bai Lang raised his nose to the sky and said arrogantly: "Go buy me a cup of milk tea."

Le Jing glanced at the dozen or so assistants surrounding him, all of whom looked gloating.

Well, he finally understood that this young master was planning to set up a trap to trick him again.

But he couldn't afford to offend this young master, so a little bit of targeting would be fine as long as it was harmless. So Le Jing smiled and asked, "Which store do you want milk tea from? What flavor?"

Bai Lang casually mentioned a milk tea shop that was nearly an hour away from here, and said with ill intention: "I'll give you half an hour."

Le Jing smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I have other work to do right now, so I can't leave. Can you ask your assistant to buy you some milk tea?"

Bai Lang was furious and grabbed the water cup at hand and threw it at Le Jing.

Le Jing slightly tilted his body, and the cup of water brushed against his arm and hit the wall hard, breaking into several pieces. The light yellow fruit tea spilled on the white wall like a puddle of urine.

Such a violent movement naturally attracted the attention of other crew members. Zhou Jinsen heard Bai Lang's loud scolding in the monitoring room: "You are so shameless, aren't you? You are making excuses for such a small matter. How do you do your job? Why are other things considered work, but my things are not work?"

Le Jing listened silently. After all, being scolded wouldn't hurt him. Facing Bai Lang's overwhelming and unreasonable curses, he smiled shamelessly and agreed: "Yes, you are absolutely right. I am so ashamed. Yes, yes, it is my fault. I will definitely correct it..."

Bai Lang stared at the boy's smiling face, which was like punching cotton. He couldn't suppress the anger in his stomach. He kicked Le Jingzhi in a fit of anger: "Get down on your knees and apologize to me."

Le Jing was caught off guard by Bai Lang's kick. He was kicked in the knee before he could react. He staggered in pain and fell to the ground, his knee hurting badly.

Bai Lang looked at the boy lying on the ground in a mess, and felt that the anger in his heart had finally subsided. He raised his head high and said, "Okay, seeing that your attitude is not bad, I will forgive you."

"Shi Jing, are you okay?!" Zhou Jinsen rushed over and stretched out his hand to Le Jing: "How are you, can you get up?"

Le Jing knelt on the ground, looking a little dazed for a rare moment.

To be honest, he hasn't kneeled to anyone for a long, long time.

What he hated most in his life was being forced to kneel down.

So now he was... very angry. He hadn't been this angry for a long, long time.

Want to kill that idiot?

No... not really. How is he any different from those disgusting pleasure criminals and violent criminals?

Then... just destroy him.

Let him be disgraced, deserted by his friends and relatives, left with nowhere to go, so that he no longer has the capital to be arrogant, and can only lower his proud head and kneel down to beg for mercy.

"Ah... I'm fine." Le Jing got up from the ground by himself and said with his head down: "Don't worry, I'm fine now."

The boy's voice was calm and low, as if he was trying hard to suppress some intense emotion.

Zhou Jinsen's heart skipped a beat and for some reason he had the urge to shiver.

He calmed himself down and confirmed again: "Are you really okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

At this time, the manager, Sister Sun, also came over hypocritically, "Oh, I'm so sorry, our Alang has a good temper and usually doesn't get so angry. You too, it's better to admit your mistakes earlier... How do you feel now? How about I take you to the hospital?"

Le Jing had now completely adjusted his emotions and replied calmly: "No, I'll just go home and rest for a while."

Sister Sun nodded indifferently, "Okay, then I'll transfer tens of thousands of star coins to your account as medical expenses." She rolled her eyes, looked Le Jing up and down, and suddenly asked, "You didn't record anything you shouldn't have, did you?"

Le Jing lowered his eyes and sneered: "Don't worry, I didn't record anything." No way.

Sister Sun smiled and tapped skillfully, "It would be great if there is none. We are all acquaintances who know each other well. If we damage our relationship because of this, it would be a big loss, don't you think?"

Le Jing sneered in his heart, and he already understood what Sister Sun meant. What a person who knows everything about her! I'm afraid they have already investigated his identity and background, and they took advantage of him being an orphan with no one to back them up, so they chose to vent their anger on him today and humiliate Director Li.

Facing Sister Sun's threat, the young man pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed an ugly bitter smile, as if he was ready to swallow this loss, and replied in a low voice: "I know the importance of it."

"Okay, go home."

Le Jing turned around and was about to leave when Zhou Jinsen's voice rang out from behind him: "Shi Jing!"

Le Jing didn't turn around, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Jinsen said guiltily: "... you should have a good rest and don't come tomorrow. I will give you a day off."

Le Jing turned around and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."

…

When Le Jing got home, he rolled up his trouser legs and saw that his knees were indeed bruised. The terminal suddenly beeped, and he opened it and found that 30,000 star coins had been transferred into his account.

In their eyes, his kneeling meant thirty thousand yuan, and they might even think he made a profit.

Oh……

After such a long time, Le Jing's anger had subsided, and he began to think calmly about how to teach Bai Lang a lesson.

Now he has no power and is heavily in debt, so he really has no capital to retaliate.

But in the future, it’s hard to say.

As the saying goes: It is better to bully an old man than a young man who is poor. Things change over time.

In addition to Tian Hui, who stole the original owner's script, Le Jing now has another enemy.

Le Jing doesn't plan to post the video he shot online. Bai Lang has capital behind him, so even if he posts some dirty stuff now, it will be useless and will only alert the enemy. Who knows, he might be caught by the capital one day.

The best way to defeat the enemy is to make yourself stronger than the enemy.

He has no time to be angry. What he needs to do most now is to climb up. Then one day, he will trample all his enemies under his feet.

Today is Thursday. He has been busy with the crew these days and has not had time to make the second episode of "Little People". Now he has a blessing in disguise and has time to make videos.

During his free time on the crew these days, he was also thinking about the protagonist of the second episode "Little People", and he finally decided on the candidate yesterday.

The birth and death years of this minor figure are unknown. Only this short sentence is left in the official history: "When Yue E Wang died, the jailer Kui Shun carried his body over the city wall and buried it in Jiuqu Cong Temple."

Yue Fei was wrongfully killed on trumped-up charges and his body was left exposed in the prison in Lin'an, left to be eaten and bitten by insects and ants. No one dared to collect his body due to fear of Qin Hui's tyranny.

Wei Shun was just an ordinary jailer, and no one knew what kind of life he had. It was just like this that a wave of history would drown countless small figures. He carried Yue Fei's body out of the prison and buried Yue Fei in Jiuqu Cong Temple, and planted two trees next to the body as a mark.

He kept this secret in his heart and told no one. Before he died, he told his son where Yue Fei's body was buried and asked his son to guard the tomb for him.

Twenty years later, the new emperor ascended the throne and issued an edict to clear Yue Fei's name and offered a reward to anyone who could find Yue Fei's body.

Wei Shun's son went to the government and returned Yue Fei's body. This heroic act that had been hidden for 20 years finally received belated praise.

This was the only commendable thing he did in his life.

He is a small man, but he is greater than many big men.
