Chapter 429: Duckweed in Troubled Times

"The Besieged City in October" has a very earthy name.

It's called bodyguards and killers.

In fact, this name is quite appropriate, because the bodyguards gathered together for various reasons.

But in fact, looking at it as a whole, the reasons do seem different.

But in fact , in essence, it is still a kind of morality - a counterattack and revolution against the injustice of this era.

The nameless people who shed blood and tears were killed by this era.

The ending is very cruel. The killer team was completely wiped out, and only Li Yutang and Chen Shaobai were left in the bodyguard team. Except for them, everyone else died . It can be said that "October Besieged City" is a very cruel movie.

At this moment, everyone at the table was in a heavy mood. After all, they were so deeply immersed in it that it was not easy to come out in a short time.

Resonance with the characters.

Sad for their fate.

There were only Liang Jiahui and Li Yun, the two of them, eating and drinking heartily, toasting each other.

He didn't look sad at all.

These two people are the most immersed in the play.

But it seems to be away from this detached state.

Getting farther and farther.

Even veteran actor Wang Xueqi was affected by this dullness.

Sons, friends, servants, and admired guys all died here.

They didn't even see who they were protecting.

Died sadly.

Even in the end, the person being protected was just a substitute.

It's his son.

Acting as a stand-in.

It's a fake.

The misery and sadness of death.

When you die, everything is gone.

Wang Xueqi looked around and it seemed that there were only these two people, and their mood was not affected at all.

This magical feeling can affect even bystanders.

But there are two people involved.

I didn't feel anything at all.

It was obvious that they were the two who were most immersed in the filming.

Leung Ka Fai, Chan Siu Pai.

Li Yun, Yan Xiaoguo.

Two people representing completely different positions.

"You really don't feel anything at all?" Xie Tingfeng couldn't help but ask.

He was really surprised.

The performances of Li Yun and Liang Jiahui seem to lack rich emotions, and they separate their characters from themselves very clearly.

This is how they feel now.

However, at this time.

Li Yun and Liang Jiahui looked at each other, as if they saw the emotions in each other's eyes. Then they smiled at each other.

"Cheers, teacher."

"Cheers, students."

Heavy and sad.

I think you can understand it this way.

From a secular perspective.

That's it.

In a general sense.

It is indeed that heavy.

After all, everyone died.

But Li Yun only felt an unprecedented light and joy in his mind.

With peace and tranquility in my heart.

With peace of mind.

Death is indeed a sad and painful thing.

Physical death.

In most people's opinion.

They are all symbols of the end.

When life ends, everything is over, but this ending is never the same for idealists.

The life of a revolutionary is not so easy to end.

“Did the student do the right thing?”

"Then do you think the teacher is right?"

At this time, Yan Xiaoguo and Chen Shaobai were sitting calmly and were no longer in the position of enemies.

There is even a kind of peaceful harmony between teachers and students.

After all, in the end, Yan Xiaoguo also understood his teacher's approach and helped his teacher.

"I don't believe in those foreign things you brought."

"Yes, you don't have to believe it. I even think that this is not the ultimate correct path." Chen Shaobai said frankly: "If we are wrong, there will be new revolutionaries, there will be new revolutionaries who find a more correct path to replace us old things. The only thing we cannot lack is the courage and awareness to accept new things."

At this time, Yan Xiaoguo was finally relieved and said , "Yes, students should remember your teachings."

"What is there to be sad about? Wasn't the Xinhai Revolution a success? The blood of the pioneers was not shed in vain. They changed China."

Liang Jiahui said at this time: "You look like you have lost your parents, which is really unworthy of the role you play."

This is indeed the case.

Only then did people feel that they suddenly understood.

After leaving the last glass of wine, Li Yun was ready to turn around and leave to rest.

Before leaving, another person called Li Yun.

It’s Chen Kexin.

The producer and screenwriter.

This person has been scheming from the very beginning, wanting to have the right to speak, or something else.

Someone who makes things difficult for Li Yun.

Until Li Yun started to revise the script, the two of them had constant conflicts on the crew.

Or rather, friction and disagreement.

He felt that his power had been "taken away", and that feeling even made this old man from Hong Kong have some dark thoughts.

Some can even affect the darkness of the script.

But in the end he didn't do it.

Because he felt that Li Yun's changes were superfluous.

There is no way to change the tone of the entire movie.

Until after the filming.

Only then did I realize how much changes Li Yun made to the movie.

The entire tone of the movie was changed.

Even the basic structure has changed.

This is the October Siege today.

A bodyguard and assassin he was unfamiliar with.

But even if he thought and speculated with the darkest and most sinister thoughts.

There is no way to deny a thing.

This is the position of this script in his heart.

One that I have to admit.

I also have to admit defeat.

That talent Chen Kexin didn't say anything.

Finally just saying.

"I'll add your name to the screenwriter column."

"Thanks."

"You deserve it." Chen Kexin said jokingly, "If the final result is not good, we will both take the blame."

"Then I'm willing to carry it together."

"Hahaha, cheers."

Li Yun drank a lot of wine today.

Even with Li Yun's current physical condition, faced with such a large amount of alcohol, he couldn't help but feel a little drunk.

Tony Leung was also drunk yesterday. As a versatile actor, he was not as open-minded as he seemed. Even though as an actor, he felt genuinely happy and joyful for the fate of his characters, in fact, he still felt sad for their departure and death.

Chen Shaobai and Yan Xiaoguo disappeared.

But the actors and coachmen have not disappeared yet.

Their feelings are still there.

They will die.

But he did not die in confusion.

His eyes were determined.

"Will I be able to read in the future? Coachmen like us can also have the right to read and write."

"Studying is compulsory in our time. Even if you don't want to, you still have to complete nine years of compulsory education. It's not up to you." Li Yun teased the driver next to him.

Then the driver smiled brilliantly. In fact, it would be a lie to say that they were not confused at all.

They also don't know whether it is the right thing to do.

I only know one thing.

That is at least changing now.

That will be fine.

That will be enough.

The gambler is a bad person, but he does not want his daughter to be as bad as him, nor does he want himself to be bad in this era.

The beggar is very depraved, but even he knows that there are more depraved things in this world, things that are more evil and untouchable.

This extremely evil thing is called opium.

Something that causes people to fall from the flesh.

He shouldn't exist in this world.

If only I, a fallen being, could do something good before I die.

So this should be one of them.

It can be regarded as the last thing that the martial arts champion did for the court and the country.

Li Yun didn't expect that the actor would be the last one to leave.

He was standing in front of Li Yun.

Although she is a Wudan, she just likes to sing opera.

I like the song.

I like to sing songs.

Express your thoughts, anger, and various emotions through singing.

Go sing out.

And her tomboyish look now turned into a feminine one.

"My father always wanted a boy to inherit everything from him. I said I could do that, but he said it was not something a girl should do. In order not to disappoint my father, I became a tomboy from birth to death. I had to hide the things I loved. I never thought that I would have the chance to wear this red dress in the end."

Actress in red makeup.

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

It actually looks pretty good.

She said she wanted to sing a song before she left, to sing a song to bid farewell to everyone, her comrades, her friends. "It's a pity that I don't know what song to sing."

"Let me teach you..." The superstar personality not far away wanted to lead her in singing the last song.

Li Yun said at this time.

Let me teach you.

The play begins, the sleeves rise and fall Singing about sorrow and joy, separation and reunion, it has nothing to do with me The fans open and close, the gongs and drums sound and then fall silent

Who can say the feelings in the play and the people outside the play I am used to putting all my joys, anger, sorrows and happiness into the stage What if the old words are exposed

The bones and ashes are all mine In troubled times, I can’t bear to watch the flames of war burn the mountains and rivers

Even though I am in a low position, I still dare not forget my country

Even if no one knows me

The mountains and rivers are broken, and the world is like floating duckweed.

I am a humble person.

Nor dare we forget the danger of the country. In this era of internal and external troubles, we must make our own choices.

Li Yuchun was also drunk at this time. She was one of the few "relatives" who was arranged to join the crew.

However, she is not like other people who have connections and do not give up, and does not take everything she gets for granted.

Nothing is ever taken for granted.

As a singer, she knew that she could never match her predecessors in acting.

So she also made use of her dancing skills and performed excellently in the action scenes, and received praise from Master Zhen Zidan.

She was not excluded here.

On the contrary, they all like her hard-working girl.

Try your best to do it.

Even though she was a little tipsy, she liked director Li Yun very much, whether it was his acting skills, his talent as a director, or his talent as a screenwriter.

They are all very impressive.

Li Yuchun, who was inferior to everyone else in other aspects, could only drink more alcohol than the other men around her. While she was tipsy she seemed to hear someone singing. It sounded so good.

Is it a girl? Are there any girls here who can sing so beautifully? It seems not.

Singer is her profession. You can hear what her singing skills represent, and you can also hear the surging emotions contained in this song.

Until she found out that it was the person who was singing passionately.

It's her director.

It was Yan Xiaoguo of the Qing Dynasty. She wondered if she couldn't drink enough.

I'm really drunk.

"Reward: Great Qing Killer Fist."

"Physique +5, Vitality +5."

"Foolish wise man: Everyone thinks you are stupid, but they are totally wrong. Those who think you are stupid are the real stupid ones. You are just implementing the way to save the country in your own way."

Only then did Li Yun break away from the feeling of the October siege.

There is a feeling of being in another world.

It seems like the eve of the Xinhai Revolution was just yesterday.

Things that happened in one day.

The martyrs and heroes paid with blood and tears.

In exchange for the well-being of our present time.

Generation after generation of revolutionaries.

The victory achieved.

"It's really magical. It feels like I just finished filming "Schoolmates". At that time, the Qing Dynasty had already fallen, but now it's only the early stage. Different times, different histories, different people, filming is such an interesting thing."

Not to mention the glory, status and money gained from filming.

Li Yun himself found this matter interesting enough.

Going to different eras and leaving your own traces is interesting enough in itself.

It was enough. When Li Yun returned home.

There is also a sense of sudden realization.

I fell on the sofa, took out a bottle of cold Coke from the refrigerator, inserted a straw, and started thinking.

Bubbles produced by carbon dioxide.

Roll in the glass.

During the time when I was filming October Besieged, not nothing happened.

It’s now the top movie released by itself.

That movie Let the Bullets Fly for a while.

Today, offline performance has reached a very impressive level.

It is much more powerful than Li Modu’s Battle of Chosin Lake in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

Judging from the traffic, it is at least 1.2 times the result.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Modu’s War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea failed. This is still a good result, and still an outstanding result that can be shown off.

Soon after the film's schedule ended, he announced that the filming of the second film would begin soon.

It is also the main theme.

Judging from the response.

He starts from things that have already happened in history, such as the Red Sea incident and the Mekong River incident, which are all within the scope of his material collection.

The only difference is that.

His name does not appear in the Founding of a Republic series.

Still a narrow defeat.

"After all, he is still not qualified enough to touch upon this level of subject matter. If he could have participated in directing "The Founding of a Nation" and "The Founding of the Party", then the status he could have obtained would definitely be much higher. That would be the highest level of honor in the film industry. In the future, he would be evaluated for professional titles, levels, and honors. This stuff would be the biggest hard currency. My brother, he wanted to use these two films to regain the title of role model of the times, but now it seems unlikely."

"By the way, where's your iced Coke? Why can't I find it?"

"This is the last bottle, uncle."

"All right."

At this moment, Li Yuxuan could only open the mineral water, shook the bottle and said, "Your uncle is coming to your house, so you use this to entertain him?"

"You came here so suddenly, how would I know?"

Li Yun didn’t think much about it.

Counting yourself will come at this time.

Li Yuxuan came just to talk about some things, such as his brother's current situation.

Now he has ended up being deserted by everyone.

Even the role models of the times that he was obsessed with had left him.

It can be said that he no longer has any expectations for the upper limit of fame and fortune in the future, and the desires in his mind are gone.

He has been buried.

"He used to be a great white shark, devouring everything by any means, using all means to make everything a stepping stone and nutrient for him. The only difference between family, friends, brothers and sisters was whether they could help him in his career. But now he seems to be just an old man who raises goldfish. He is completely different from before."

At this moment, Li Yuxuan spoke softly.

At this time, Li Yun also fell silent.

"I just couldn't imagine him being like this."

In Li Yun's impression.

This guy is a money-seeker who only cares about fame and fortune. It seems that the meaning of his life is to gain fame and fortune.

Now he said that he had abandoned fame and fortune and became a little goldfish. How could Li Yun believe it?

"Regarding this matter, whether you believe it or not, it is really happening here."

“He has definitely become different than before.”

"So what do you want to tell me? Do you want me to reconcile with him as a father and son? Do you want us to have a happy family reconciliation?

Regardless of whether his current desire has disappeared.

Reconciliation is Li Yun’s bottom line.

Let’s not talk about this matter.

"Well, he did do something wrong back then."

Li Yuxuan didn't know what to say.

compensate?

Li Yun's talent is definitely not inferior to that of his father. With such talent, what kind of compensation does he need?

Money? Status? No.

This father and son are actually very similar. They both have immense obsession and pursue fame and fortune, and are destined to give up many things on this road.

However, there seemed to be some differences between the two.

Li Yuxuan couldn't think of it for a while, so he just said, "By the way, your Let the Bullets Fly has passed the preliminary review of the Five One Project Award."

Five One Project.

With this award nomination.

Let the Bullets Fly has firmly established itself as the main theme.

Because this award is set up for mainstream works.

Positive energy, the main theme.

It’s the label of Let the Bullets Fly today.

It is considered an outstanding award within the system.

"So you're here to congratulate me?"

"Yes, congratulations. At the same time, you have passed the preliminary review for the Huabiao Award. It can be said that you have gained both fame and fortune this time. Perhaps in time, you will really be able to look at the stars in the sky for your father, the four major filmmakers who oppress him, and the even taller Hollywood filmmakers."

"Uncle, you said something wrong."

"What?"

"Not for him, but for myself."

"All right."

At this time, Li Yuxuan patted Li Yun on the shoulder and said , "Your grandmother will also go to the next Huabiao Awards. I don't ask for anything else. It's always okay to meet with the old Buddha."
