Chapter 424: The Siege of October

Rickshaw driver Rickshaw driver, in this era.

The status can be said to be quite low . Li Yun thought of Camel Xiangzi back then - later, even rickshaw drivers could not be promoted.

Originally, as a chariot driver, he should be very happy to be born at the feet of the emperor, outside the palace.

Since there are rickshaws pulling us, it's pretty good to have a meal to eat.

The driver has a dream, which is to own a rickshaw of his own.

I heard that rickshaws made in Germany are the best.

However, for the coachman, this is nothing more than a luxury.

Occasionally.

The driver would also think about a question.

Why can I only be a rickshaw driver? I was taught that my whole generation should be rickshaw drivers . Why are some people born to be rickshaw drivers, while others are born to ride rickshaws? At this time, Li Yun, who was pulling a rickshaw, saw the "master" he was carrying.

The master is very good to me.

He is very kind.

I appreciate it.

But what if my master is not the master? These tiny thoughts spread in Li Yun's body. When he saw the "Eight Banners" beating and scolding the beggar next to him, it was just because the beggar's appearance caught his eyes and dirty his eyes. This thought reached its peak. Until that slap hit him. By the way, the rickshaw driver is not so clean. At least, for the "Eight Banners", I am not clean either. I am also a born pariah.

It's also something that dirty the master's eyes.

Are we born like this? This is what Li Yun originally thought.

Then he found his friend, another rickshaw driver, lying on the ground motionless.

He was knocked down by another Eight Banners member on horseback.

The Eight Banners descendants were laughing as they left.

And my friends didn't even have the chance to cry out loud.

The flies have arrived.

Those who eat carrion.

In the carnival.

At this time, Li Yun became a businessman again, a businessman with a wealthy family. Although he could not compare with the Eight Banners descendants who had three generations of officials for four generations, and was also considered as a lower class person in the eyes of scholars, it was very easy for him to get used to the taste of being a master.

With gold, silver, treasures, wealthy women, and a beautiful wife and concubines at home, life would be great.

Li Yun would absolutely not be willing to give up his current life and status, where he could live an extremely extravagant life with nothing to lose.

Damn, it was so comfortable to be a master in the old society.

Li Yun never thought that he would have such a comfortable life and have a coachman to accompany him when he travels.

Ah, coachman.

Isn’t this the “me” just now?

He looked at me.

He must have wondered why some people are born to be coachmen and some are born to be masters.

Isn't that nonsense?

Who doesn’t want to be a master!

Li Yun not only wanted to be a master, he also wanted to be the master for his whole life and for generations.

The businessmen's motives are clear.

You have to bet on both sides.

Because you don’t know who the winner is.

The Qing Dynasty was founded after overthrowing the Ming Dynasty. Who knows whether the Qing Dynasty would be overthrown by this so-called Mr. Sun.

The businessman funded the revolutionaries while sending his son to study Western learning.

As the owner of a newspaper, he also criticized the revolutionaries who disrupted the order of the court.

He was extremely loyal to the imperial court.

Businessmen pursue profit.

The pursuit of profit.

The pursuit of peace of mind.

I can't lose if I hedge my bets.

The only outcome is winning.

As a master, I can only follow the right master.

Only then can you have the current status and future.

When he came to this street, Li Yun saw the corpse with flies floating around it from afar.

He is the driver's friend.

Li Yun felt his heart tremble. Not only the rotting corpses full of maggots, but also the numb eyes of the people around him. The happiness of the Eight Banners children "took another path."

"Why, sir?"

"The master has a kind heart and cannot bear to see suffering."

However, the happiness belonging to "Master" Li Yun came to an abrupt end here.

From a "master" to an actor.

The feeling of an actor also appeared in Li Yun.

A "Wu Dan" girl One minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage.

All he got in return was sparse applause.

For the actors, this is all there is to life.

The rest of the time, he is just 'the lowest class'.

Unlike the status of modern actors, the "lower nine classes" at that time really had no status at all and were just things for people to entertain themselves.

It was painted with ink with a strange smell, which covered the original face and became a 'character'.

Hence the saying 'the lower nine classes'.

Don't say that the gentlemen look down on you.

Even the owner of a theatre troupe looked down on those of the "lowest class".

Li Yun is singing.

I sang out blood, sang out tears, sang out hoarseness.

I was born in a humble family. I came from a humble family and I will leave in a humble family.

But why, when I make money by singing, it is considered lowly, and when I make money by acting ugly, it is considered lowly.

Some people go out to walk their birds every day, which is noble, and eat a free meal, which is noble . At this time.

Li Yun became a student again, and students are the group that is most easily instigated.

Being young and passionate, and coupled with the "correct truths" told by the student leaders, they were easily agitated and touched by these truths.

Students, young people.

I will only do what I feel is right.

To fight for what is 'right'.

bleed!

at this time.

Li Yun was no longer an actor, no longer a boss, no longer a coachman, and no longer a student.

But Li Yun himself.

But Li Yun did not leave the Qing Dynasty.

There was a person standing next to him.

Not the loyal and devoted Yan Xiaoguo.

But it was Chen Shaobai. He was standing next to them, watching with Li Yun.

The death of the beggar, the humility of the coachman, the extravagance of the merchant, the toil and lowliness of the actor.

2. Next to them are the descendants of the Eight Banners.

'typical'.

When it comes to luxury, even businessmen cannot compare to the Eight Banners descendants.

"I don't understand. As far as I can remember, all this has been taken for granted. Some people are born humble, some are born noble. Some people work hard all day and can barely make ends meet, while some people walk their birds every day and do nothing, yet enjoy all the luxuries in the world."

at this time.

Chen Shaobai asked Li Yun.

“Is it reasonable?”

"unreasonable."

"Yes, it's irrational. But this is what I've taken for granted since I can remember." Chen Shaobai said, "But I think this world should never be run by such a principle."

"So? What do we do?"

"So, we need innovation." Chen Shaobai said after a moment of silence: "Overthrow this decadent era."

"So they're going to die?"

Li Yun pointed at the actors, the coachmen, the students, and them.

innovation.

It's definitely not a dinner treat.

"If you want the happiness of civilization, you must first go through the blood and tears of civilization."

"They shed blood and tears, but you get happiness. What's the difference between you and the Eight Banners children?" Li Yun teased, "Do they understand innovation?"

However, at this time.

Just as Li Yun said this , actors, coachmen, and students stood up . Do they understand democracy?

Do they understand equality?

Maybe they don’t know exactly what it means.

But that doesn’t mean they are foolish.

They don't understand this metaphysical thing. They only understand the most basic thing. Why is the driver a driver? ?

Why are actors considered the lowest class? ?

Why is the world so different?

In the past these things were always taken for granted.

Because since we came into contact with this world.

This is the most correct truth.

But is it necessarily correct since ancient times?

We should bear it, this is unfair? Even death is a cheap life.

Life is like the fate of an ant.

We are all human.

Live between heaven and earth.

The difference between a bad life and a good life.

Are they really that big? Until one day someone comes and tells us that people are not born noble or inferior, and good or bad fates are just standards imposed by others.

Do we really not understand? Only then did Li Yun suddenly realize.

Yes.

How can it be so difficult for people to understand the pursuit of beautiful things?

Thinking that they can't understand or hear clearly is nothing but a kind of condescending arrogance.

sorry.

I shouldn't do this. When Li Yun woke up again.

But I found myself back in that familiar place.

In the hotel.

Next to it was a torn script.

Then Li Yun smiled.

Laughing happily and wildly.

At this moment, Li Yun was insane and contradictory.

The mind is divided.

A feeling of being torn apart.

The feeling of loyalty that belongs to Yan Xiaoguo cannot be shaken off.

But I am more than just Yan Xiaoguo.

I am also the director of The Siege of October, and Yan Xiaoguo is the villain.

I have to both agree with his ideas and oppose his ideas.

I both agree and deny.

This is mental torture for myself.

It's absolutely insane.

The personality of a loyal minister is reminding Li Yun of a truth. First of all, as a human being, one must not forget morality and must never be ungrateful. This is the most basic thing for a person to live in the world and something that needs to be followed when living in this world.

On the other side, Chen Shaobai and others were telling Li Yun that the Qing court was nothing, the world had entered a new era, and the feudal dynasty was already a rotten thing with dry bones in a tomb.

Love and hate.

How can two different concepts exist in the same head?

Torn consciousness.

What made Li Yun laugh out loud in the room was actually something that had to be said.

This sense of division is also quite interesting.

I am Li Yun, I am Yan Xiaoguo, I am a coachman, I am Chen Shaobai, a student, a businessman, an actor, everyone is me.

In this world of contradictions and conflicts.

I play everyone Li Yun.

Double sublimation of body and mind.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

[Host] Even the complicated prompt sounds of this system.

Li Yun must know everything.

At this time, I was probably very ill.

But Li Yun was able to experience the existence of happiness from this spiritual pain. Because happiness comes from fame and fortune . From the understanding of this movie. The understanding and feeling of the emotions in the script.. It flows unconsciously in his heart . He cried and laughed. After a long time, Li Yun calmed down. Looking at the script that he had torn up next to him, he already knew what he was thinking.

At this time, Li Yun took a shower and drank a sip of water.

Then call Xie Qingya.

"Hello, is this Cao Mengde?"

“.”

"Although I really like you comparing me to a peerless hero, there is no need for you to call me that directly. I have my own name, Director Li." Xie Qingya was speechless for a while because of Li Yun's address.

"Are you optimistic about me? Thank you, leader."

"In a sense, I am more optimistic about you."

Xie Qingya's words were very rigorous.

Some watertight taste.

It can be considered as leaving a trick for Li Yun.

Of course, she still said: "If it does not violate the principles, you can express your demands."

“It’s not a very difficult thing.”

"Go ahead."

“I want to change the script.”

“.”

"This is impossible. I spent fifteen years polishing this script, and you just change it. Do you think I don't exist?"

Chen Kexin was a little bit surprised.

Even the feelings of anger and rage were forgotten.

I just felt an incredible feeling.

A magical feeling.

Change the script.

I have worked hard for 15 years to change it.

A polished script.

This is a hymn composed with one's own will and blood.

Now you tell me that you want to change such a perfect script.

This was enough to make him laugh.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Chen Kexin found that she had overturned.

Originally, I wanted to find a good director who I could control.

But in the end he got himself into trouble.

He is so crazy that he wants to change his script.

This is no longer a question of whether or not you have control.

This is just out of control.

at this time.

The actors in the crew were also a little surprised by this.

Doing this kind of thing right before filming starts.

Change the script.

It was changed in just one sentence.

"Of course, this modification did not have as big of an impact on the actors as one might imagine. They basically kept their original personalities."

Xie Qingya explained it patiently herself.

Li Yun did a great job here.

A big event that no one expected.

Xie Qingya also thought deeply about it.

She bet on Li Yun.

Keep an eye on him.

But I didn't expect that he would make such a request.

It’s a bit of a headache, but in a sense, I have no choice but to go all the way and bite the bullet and make demands to Li Yun.

"My script went through multiple rounds of selection and review over a period of fifteen years. This is the script that you, Miss Xie, also approved of."

"I know"

"So why do you want to change my script now?" Chen Kexin asked very seriously.

Even a little serious.

"Because my script is better, of course."

A voice came.

"It's better, more magnificent, and better looking! This is the script I came up with."

Li Yun's eyes were very calm.

He has already done Yan Xiaoguo's makeup.

With a braid tied behind her back, she still looks mighty and ruthless.

Everyone in the crew was in a trance.

Everyone felt this sense of oppression.

A powerful official of the Qing Dynasty.

An extremely strong warrior.

Yan Xiaoguo.

The suffocating feeling of oppression he exudes.

This play hasn't started filming yet.

You can feel the oppression this person brings to others.

If he brought 300 killers with him.

The pressure was indeed great.

"A big star is a big star. No wonder he has achieved such success and status at such a young age." Wang Xueqi looked at the actor in front of him with admiration.

Under the age of thirty.

Gained the title of big star in Hong Kong.

He does have unparalleled talent and strength.

Now that I see it, it really lives up to its reputation.

Wang Xueqi was not that concerned about the script. He only thought that Chen Kexin's original script was good.

No matter how you modify it based on this foundation.

There won't be any big problems.

Chen Kexin's face still looked ugly at this time.

But he didn't say anything else.

Just as Xie Qingya said.

The overriding tone of the script remains unchanged.

It is still the basis of October Siege.

Even after reading the script, Chen Kexin felt it was a little weird.

I don't know what the meaning of the changes here is. His weird roars and cries are more like his power being shared by others.

The anger that it brings.

The unpleasant feeling it brings.

You dare to change my script like this today, are you going to change my position or my cast tomorrow?

When power is threatened.

This reaction is normal.

This is a threat.

A status threat.

Chen Kexin didn't want this to happen.

Even he felt.

This is a challenge to his dominant position by Li Yun.

At least he couldn't see any particularly big differences in the script right now.

But now he has Xie Qingya to support him.

"This is the last time, I won't compromise anywhere else."

Chen Kexin was thinking about it.

I could only reluctantly agree to change the script.

This will not happen again.

This is not an exception.

"It seems that our crew is indeed not so peaceful. This Li Yun is as domineering as the rumors say." Fan Ye was also very interested when looking at Li Yun.

This weird thing happened right after we started filming.

Inevitably within the crew.

There will be a lot of discussion about this.

Some people didn't have a very good opinion of Li Yun in the first place.

This is when we should start to take action.

Among them was Xie Tingfeng, who had previously complained about him in the crew because of a bit of jealousy.

Everyone thinks he is too young to take on such a big responsibility.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably say something like "No wonder Emperor Entertainment Group chose to withdraw its investment at that time."

The feeling of jealousy was coursing through him.

The former Tianjiao is now a supporting role here, but the supporting role back then is now on top of his head, leading the rhythm of the entire movie.

This feeling of jealousy is very profound.

Everyone was ready to listen to Xie Tingfeng's complaints.

Unexpectedly, this popular idol star did not participate in any debate on this matter. He just quietly looked at a book in the corner.

A script.

The handwriting on the script is not very pretty, but rather has a rough and crazy distortion.

Li Yun's handwriting is not very good looking.

I can only say that it is very unique.

Xie Tingfeng was staring at the handwritten script in a trance.

The handwriting is distorted.

Demonic.

But the style and power of the words come through.

All of them hit Xie Tingfeng's heart.

The actor who plays the rickshaw driver Ah Si.

He was immersed in the script.
