Chapter 204: Eunuch? This is clearly the ancient style male protagonist!

3pm.

The glorious sun is declining in desperation.

It looked towards the east, the land where it had once fought.

But at this moment, at the end, there is a shadow stirring and ready to come back at any time.

I couldn't help but feel extremely sad.

This sadness falls into the human world and turns into a gentle breeze.

Let those hot and humid people take a deep breath and feel the coolness.

"Are you all ready?"

Backstage, Wang Jing, who had just woken up from a hangover, rubbed her aching head and pulled a staff member over to ask.

It's too late.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he woke up.

The reporters had all arrived and had been waiting outside for a long time.

Among them was even a reporter from CCTV Entertainment.

This meant that he didn't have time to tell them that he had changed his mind.

We had no choice but to go ahead with the opening ceremony.

Fortunately, the staff on duty at the venue were very dedicated.

They nodded.

"Producer Wang, don't worry, we started setting up in the morning and have already prepared the scene. Now we just need the leading actors."

"That's fine."

After receiving this reply, Wang Jing breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.

Things have gotten messy enough to this point.

If things get any more chaotic, his mentality will explode.

Afterwards, Wang Jing contacted Huo Jianhua and others with great fanfare.

Thanks to the afternoon start.

Huo Jianhua and the others had plenty of time to sleep and sober up.

Therefore, there was no such a ridiculous situation where someone could not be contacted.

Wang Jing asked them to come to the scene immediately.

So half an hour later.

"Ah~~"

Open your mouth like a buffalo.

Deng Chao's nostrils flared and he yawned violently.

He rubbed the unwashed eye boogers at the corners of his eyes, and he looked particularly dazed.

Because he was the one who drank the most last night besides Jiang Nian.
Similarly, he was the last person to wake up and the last person to arrive at the scene today.

"Producer Wang, I remember that after the opening ceremony, we will start filming, right?"

Deng Chao turned his head and looked at Wang Jing who had just drunk several cups of coffee to refresh herself and asked.

Wang Jing had recovered by now and asked, "Yes, what happened?"

"Hey, nothing much, just asking if there's a scene for me today?"

"No."

"That's fine. I feel like my brain is about to turn into mush. If there is a scene for me, I might not be able to shoot it well when I shoot it."

Deng Chao patted his chest and made an expression as if he had survived a disaster.

Seeing him like this, Huo Jianhua was a little curious: "Teacher Deng, what time did you drink with Teacher Jiang last night? Why are you so confused?"

"It was around one or two o'clock. Damn, Mr. Jiang can really drink. He drank so many boxes of wine by himself, and he was still like nothing happened in the end. He is simply superman!"

Recalling last night's experience, Deng Chao couldn't help but sigh.

You know, Deng Chao is from Xijiang!
He grew up drinking Briefcase and has a very good alcohol tolerance.

Be confident that you can fight no matter who you meet.

But in front of Jiang Nian, he felt that Jiang Nian had not even used half of his strength!
My drinking capacity is like raising fish.

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't satisfy Teacher Jiang last night!"

Deng Chao lit a cigarette, looking as if it was completely burnt out.

Seeing him like this, Huo Jianhua grinned. He reached out and patted Deng Chao on the shoulder, comforting him: "Teacher Deng, there is no need to be like this. Teacher Jiang is from Dongli. You know that people there can drink a lot. Not to mention that Teacher Jiang is in such good health, he must be able to drink even more. It is normal that you can't drink more than him."

"Yeah, you're right." Hearing Huo Jianhua's comfort, Deng Chao felt much better. He then looked around and said, "By the way, where is Teacher Jiang? I saw him just now. How come he's gone now?"

"Of course I'm going to change my clothes. We're going to act out roles on stage. Teacher Deng, Jianhua, why aren't you two going yet?"

Li Yapeng, who had just walked out of the locker room, heard Deng Chao's question. While answering, he also asked with some confusion.

After hearing this, Deng Chao and Huo Jianhua were both stunned. Then they looked at the time and found that there were only a dozen minutes left before the start. Their faces changed and they hurried to the locker room.

Because it's an event.

This locker room is very simple, just a few partitions made of boards.

It is similar to a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment set up by an unscrupulous sub-landlord.

And now, in the locker room.

"Ouch!"

With the appearance of Jiang Nian, the originally quiet room suddenly became noisy.

Huang Shengyi’s eyes widened.

She stared at Jiang Nian blankly, her face full of disbelief.

So does everyone else.

Because Jiang Nian's look at this moment is so subversive!

He was wearing an official uniform of dark red and crimson purple, with complicated patterns of golden pythons and flying fish embroidered on the lapels and cuffs.

He wore a black gauze hat with gold decoration on it, and a gem was inlaid in the center of the hat.

He holds a whisk in his hand, wears a jade belt around his waist, and wears thick-soled official boots with cloud patterns on his feet.

Combined with Jiang Nian's makeup, her face looks a little fat and feminine.

One can tell at first glance that he holds a high position of power.

But somehow, he gives people a feeling of being friendly and easy to get along with.

"Damn, Teacher Jiang, you are too amazing!"

Looking at Jiang Nian's current outfit, Ye Xuan, who played Shangguan Haitang, couldn't help but exclaimed.

Even though she had worked with Jiang Nian before when filming "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", she had also witnessed how powerful the eunuch played by Jiang Nian was.

But when I saw him again, I couldn't help but be surprised by him.

Because this Cao Zhengchun is different!
If we say that Yu Huatian in "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" pioneered the role of eunuch and provided another way of thinking about performance, then he was a reformist.

The 'Cao Zhengchun' before him is undoubtedly a traditionalist.

Both the image and the feeling are in line with people's stereotype of eunuchs.

Theoretically speaking, such a traditional character shouldn't be that surprising.

After all, it is so ordinary.

But when it fell into Jiang Nian's hands, he came up with a new trick for this extremely traditional eunuch.

And this pattern.
Just when Ye Xuan was wondering why Jiang Nian gave him such a special feeling.

next to.

"Teacher Jiang, are you really playing a eunuch?"

"Why do I feel that you are more decent than the decent ones?"

Huang Shengyi couldn't help but complain as he looked Jiang Nian up and down. In other words, the clothes Jiang Nian was wearing were eunuch's clothes.

Otherwise, with his temperament, no one would question him even if he was said to be the leading male role.

“Indeed.”

Chen Yirong, who played Princess Yunluo, also spoke with a Taiwanese accent.

Then he looked at Jiang Nian, thought deeply for a moment, and gave his own opinion: "It feels a bit like Yu Huatian."

"No, they are two different things."

Ye Xuan shook his head.

"Yu Huatian is arrogant and vicious."

"And Mr. Jiang's current Cao Zhengchun"

“He gave me a more polite feeling.”

Ye Xuan knew that her description was a bit strange.

But now she really feels that Cao Zhengchun, played by Jiang Nian, is very polite through some of the small movements and micro-expressions made by him!

Like a gentle and elegant gentleman.

Just standing there, doing nothing, makes people subconsciously like him!
"Teacher Jiang, I remember that Cao Zhengchun in the script was not such a person."

"Is this another improvisation of yours?"

This is not blind praise, but Jiang Nian had a history of this when filming "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate".

Hearing this, Jiang Nian smiled slightly:
"As expected of Mr. Ye Xuan, Yang Guang is really perceptive. This is a factor that I added after I got the script and pondered over the character of Cao Zhengchun for a long time. How is it? How do you feel about it?"

"it is good!"

Ye Xuan gave a thumbs up to indicate that he had nothing to say.

Why are there fewer and fewer roles for traditional eunuchs these days, and they rarely even appear on the big screen?
Isn't it because the audience is already tired of it?

Now Jiang Nian has given this character a new setting, which instantly brings up its visual sense.

I have seen ambitious eunuchs, and I have also seen arrogant and handsome eunuchs.

Have you ever seen a polite eunuch?

"You are indeed a professional eunuch!"

Ye Xuan said secretly in his heart.

So does everyone else.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Nian didn't say much.

He just turned his head to look at Gao Yuan'er, who was sitting in the corner, extremely calm, and sighed.

She has been like this since Jiang Nian brought her here in the afternoon.

No matter what happened in the outside world, she remained indifferent, as if she had lost her soul.

Jiang Nian knew that the reason why she was like this was probably because of what happened in the morning.

But he didn't know what to do for a moment.

After all, he has never experienced it.

So after thinking about it, I decided to just leave it alone and deal with it coldly.

I think everyone who is engaged in programming has heard this saying: As long as the bug can run, don't touch it.

Similarly, as long as Gao Yuaner doesn't say anything now, Jiang Nian will pretend not to know and won't care.

Anyway, in the end, the worst possible outcome would be that he and Gao Yuaner would completely break up and go their separate ways.

Why waste your breath?

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian withdrew his gaze, turned around and left.

He left without mercy.

So much so that he didn't notice that just after he turned around, Gao Yuaner raised her head and looked at his back with flickering eyes and an extremely complicated expression.

After that, another ten minutes passed.

As the time reached three o'clock, the opening ceremony of "The World's Number One" was finally held as planned.

There's not much to say specifically, except burning incense to Guan Gong and the heavens and earth, praying for their smooth filming.

If I have to say there was some little episode involved.

Probably when Jiang Nian was paying his respects, his expression was a little bit complicated.

This doesn't mean that he is unique or special.

But if Jiang Nian remembered correctly, he had worshipped it before in "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" and "Swordsman", and then something bad happened to him.

In "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", Zhang Yuxin was targeted by fanatical fans and it almost resulted in a death.

"Swordsman" is about a team-building trip where a group of people encountered a drug dealer speeding through their cars.

“Isn’t this crew going to be like this too?”

"It shouldn't be."

Jiang Nian said secretly in his heart.

It can be explained if it happens once or twice, but if it happens again and again, then this incident is all related to him.

Doesn't this make him a jinx?

Jiang Nian had a lot of thoughts.

And this opening ceremony came to an end unknowingly amid his wild thoughts.

After seeing off the reporters, Wang Jing let everyone rest for an hour, have a meal, and then started to arrange today's filming.

I don't know who started it.

Many of today’s costumed martial arts dramas are set in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

It seems as if this is an era that cannot be more chaotic.

This was the case with Jiang Nian's previous works "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", "Sword Rain", "Swordsman", and the current "The World's Number One".

The key point is that in these dramas, except for "Swordsman", eunuchs play the main villains.

Regarding this, Jiang Nian speculated that it might be related to the notorious Wei Zhongxian, the Nine Thousand Year Old, in the late Ming Dynasty.

In this drama, the plot develops in much the same way.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the dark sides of the Zhu Dynasty gradually exposed themselves, court struggles became increasingly fierce, the previous emperor passed away, and his son succeeded him as emperor.

The late emperor’s younger brother, Zhu Wusi, nicknamed the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, was a master of martial arts, but because he was born out of wedlock, he was unable to inherit the throne.

On the surface, he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, like a saint who sympathizes with the people. However, secretly, he has looked down on his nephew, the current emperor, since he was a child, and has been waiting for the right opportunity, ready to usurp the throne at any time.

It is like taking the scripts of Zhu Laosi and Zhu Gaochi at the same time.

The only difference between the two is that Zhu Wusi has a very high status.

Ten years ago, before the death of the previous emperor and before the current emperor took over, the previous emperor specially ordered Zhu Wusi to establish the Hulong Villa, whose power overrides all court institutions. At the same time, he issued red books and iron certificates and imperial swords, which could be used to behead tyrants and treacherous ministers. It was an institution with the highest power established by the previous emperor to benefit himself.

However, after his death, this organization began to get out of control.

The current emperor realized this and was worried that Zhu Wushi might one day rebel against his ancestor Zhu Laosi and launch a rebellion against the emperor.

So he quickly promoted the eunuch Cao Zhengchun from the Eastern Depot to compete with Zhu Wusi.

However, he did not expect that his cleverness would backfire.

Cao Zhengchun took advantage of the opportunity to commit corruption, persecute loyal people, and do all kinds of evil.

Because of his disagreement with Cao Zhengchun, the loyal minister Yang Yuxuan submitted a secret letter of remonstration, and was framed by Cao Zhengchun for treason and was killed on the spot.

His subordinates realized that something was wrong, so they quickly fled with Yang Yuxuan's wife and daughter.

But they were all killed by Cao Zhengchun.

He sent out the Black Arrow Team, their most powerful martial arts team, to hunt them down.

Among the fifteen subordinates of Yang Yuxuan, twelve were directly pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows, it was a miserable death.

Fortunately, at this moment, there is always a way out. Yang Yuxuan's children and the remaining three men met a purple-clothed swordsman who called himself Duan Tianya. He took action to righteousness and wiped out the Black Arrow Team one by one and rescued Yang Yuxuan's children.

And this story of being the best in the world has officially begun with the appearance of this piece of Tianya!
