Chapter 604 The Legend of the Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties
This movie is actually very short.
After all, in Li Min's propaganda, this battle is far from over.
It must be a protracted battle.
Therefore, this film is not very long.
He focused on promoting the ferocity and violence of Nanzhao soldiers and the bravery and tenacity of Datang soldiers.
It promoted the cruelty of war and the selflessness of the national spirit.
The whole movie ends in just over fifty minutes.
After the movie ended, the people who watched it still couldn't recover from the movie for a long time.
It turns out that this is a movie!
It turns out that the movie is so wonderful!
After the outdoor movie ended, people were still discussing the plot of the movie.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was also very satisfied with the content of the movie and decided to increase the promotion of the movie.
At the same time, Li Shimin was also confused.
Could it be that the war between the King of Shu and Nanzhao was all true?
It's not like what I guessed. They are not pretending to fight?
Although Li Shimin felt a little incredible.
But judging from what was shown in the movie, the war should be real.
Well, even Li Shimin couldn't tell the difference between truth and fiction when he faced the movie for the first time.
Next, with the strong support of Li Shimin, Battle of the Tang Dynasty, the first movie in the Tang Dynasty, quickly began to be screened throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Everywhere he went, he quickly received numerous positive reviews.
Well, it is the first movie after all. For the people of the Tang Dynasty who have never been exposed to this form of movies, it would be weird if they don't find it enjoyable.
As for the sentence in the film, "I will not regret entering China in this life, and I will be a Tang Dynasty person in the next life," it is even more popular among countless people of the Tang Dynasty.
Even because of a movie, many young people took the initiative to sign up to join the army.
A movie that enhanced the cohesion of Datang.
At this time, Li Min was in Yizhou, continuing to shoot his second movie.
Now Li Min has completely fallen in love with the feeling of being a director. It turns out that directing is so fun!
Next, Li Min is preparing to shoot a movie called Legend of Strange Heroes.
The Tang Dynasty worshiped martial arts, and the theme of "The Legend of Strange Heroes" must be very popular.
At the same time, Li Min is also preparing to train several directors.
As the King of Shu and the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, although he likes to make movies, it is impossible for him to make movies every day as a career.
Li Min selected a few relatively agile students at Yizhou University and taught them while making movies.
At the filming site, next to Li Min, there was a little girl riding a panda following him around every day.
This little girl is naturally Shangguan Wan'er.
This year, Shangguan Wan'er is also nine years old.
The girl is growing up, the baby fat on her face has long since faded, and she has grown into half a young girl.
When Li Min was filming and teaching, Shangguan Wan'er was listening quietly.
Then, Li Min was surprised to find that Shangguan Wan'er was very talented and could learn faster than the few students he brought out.
This was really beyond Li Min's expectation.
Li Min couldn't help but teach Shangguan Wan'er a little more.
Legend of Strange Heroes, as the name suggests, is a martial arts film with a narrow theme.
As for the starring role in this film, Li Min directly chose Li Yuanfang.
Not to mention Li Yuanfang’s martial arts skills, he is also quite cool looking.
As his starring role, Li Min feels absolutely suitable.
…
In Chang'an City, after watching the movie, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and other old guys suddenly couldn't sit still.
The movie is really fun, and now they really want to know how the movie was made.
Therefore, although there is still suspicion between the emperor and the king of Shu, they still want to visit Yizhou.
Of course, if you want to go to Yizhou, you must obtain the emperor's permission.
So, these old guys went to find Li Shimin together.
Li Shimin, for some unknown reason, actually agreed to their request after pondering for a while.
This surprised Cheng Yaojin and other old guys.
Unexpectedly, it would take them a long time to fight before the emperor would agree.
I didn't expect to agree to their request so easily.
Next, a group of old guys quickly boarded the train to Yizhou.
Soon, a group of people came to Yizhou.
After arriving in Yizhou, they did not find the King of Shu immediately.
After asking around, I found out that the King of Shu was filming a movie!
After getting the news, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and other veterans were extremely excited.
Aren’t they here just to make a movie?
This is so great!
So, these old guys quickly came to the film and television city.
In order to make movies, Li Min established a film and television city outside Yizhou New City.
The film and television city is heavily guarded and outsiders cannot enter at all.
Of course, if Cheng Yaojin and a bunch of old guys come over, no one will dare to stop them.
A group of veterans swaggered into the film and television city and soon discovered Li Min who was filming a movie.
This group of old guys suddenly became curious and anxious, and hurriedly came over.
Then they discovered that King Li Yin of Shu was playing with a machine that was similar to a camera, but much more complicated.
Facing the scene directly ahead.
In the previous scene, what was being filmed was a fight scene.
But this fight scene was not as exciting as they thought.
Because this fight scene is basically in slow motion.
Both sides punched each other very slowly. The movements looked pretty good, but they were definitely not real fights.
This movie is so fake?
Will anyone see this when it’s filmed?
Cheng Yaojin and other old guys looked at it and frowned.
At this time, the bully who was playing against Li Yuanfang suddenly pulled out a long knife and stabbed Li Yuanfang.
Li Yuanfang grabbed the bully's wrist, twisted it with his hand, and turned the long knife.
The blade was pointed right at the bully's chest, and Li Yuanfang exerted force.
puff!
The long knife pierced the bully's body at once, and blood splattered everywhere.
The bully slowly fell to the ground, with blood coming out of his mouth. He struggled a few times, tilted his head, and died.
Cheng Yaojin and other old guys couldn't help being shocked.
What a shame, this movie is not easy to make!
One person will die in a fight. If it is filmed like this, how many people will die in a movie?
At this moment, Li Min shouted with satisfaction: "Stuck! Soon, this scene is over!"
The next moment, the bully who had been stabbed to death climbed up from the ground.
This sudden change actually frightened Cheng Yaojin and knocked him off his butt.
"Oh mother, he, how come he is alive again?"
Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong and other veteran generals were also frightened.
Next to him, Li Min had actually noticed these old guys coming, but he was busy filming just now and ignored them.
Seeing that these old guys were startled now, Li Min was snickering next to them.
"Are some old generals here? This is filming! How can someone really be dead?"
Hearing Li Min's words, Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened.
"But, it's clear that a knife was stabbed in just now, and he bled so much, how could he be fine?"
Li Min laughed, and then shouted: "Xiao Yi, come here!"
Soon, Xiao Yi, the actor who played the bully, ran over in a hurry.
At this time, the knife was still stuck in Xiao Yi's body.
puff!
Li Min pulled it out directly.
Only then did Cheng Yaojin and his gang of veterans discover that the knife was automatically retractable and could be stuck on a person's body at the front.
If you didn't look carefully, you would really think it was stabbed in.
"Hey, why did he bleed so much blood?"
Li Min laughed and said: "There are blood bags prepared in advance. When you need to bleed, squeeze the blood bag in advance and the blood will flow out."
After listening to Li Min's explanation, Cheng Yaojin and other veterans suddenly realized.
However, Cheng Yaojin still asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, but they were playing so slowly just now. It's fake at first glance, and it won't look good when photographed!"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "This can actually be adjusted in the later stage. As long as the speed is doubled, if you look at it again, they will be able to play well!"
Seeing that these old guys didn't believe it at all, Li Min knew that if they were not allowed to see the real effect, these old guys didn't know what trouble they would cause!
Simply, Li Min directly adjusted and synthesized the shots he had just taken.
After the operation is completed, then use the small internal player to play the scene just now.
After it was played, Cheng Yaojin and other veterans were surprised to see it.
The picture played was not at all like what they saw at the scene just now.
The fight is fierce and vigorous, the movements are fast and coherent, it is really wonderful and wonderful.
After reading it, the jaws of these old guys were almost dropped.
"This, this is so, so unbelievable!"
“So this is how the movie was made?”
"Haha, it's fun, it's really fun!"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Highness, hey, hey, hey hey!"
Li Min couldn't help but have black lines all over his head. Hehe, hehe, you are so tall. Hehe, can you speak well?
Cheng Yaojin smiled again and said: "Your Highness, I also want to make a movie, hey, hey!"
you?
filming?
Li Min curled his lips cryptically, "You are so honorable."
If you want to make a movie, who will hire you?
Of course, I can only think about this in my heart, not say it out loud.
Otherwise, this old guy will definitely go crazy.
Li Min could only say: "Oh, General Cheng, that's it! Our movie will be finished soon! There is no role for you anymore!"
"It's not impossible for you, old man, to make a movie, but you don't have a suitable script! What do you think you can make?"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but patted his chest and said: "Hey, hey! I, old Cheng, can do anything. I don't care! I can be anything like a general or a king of the mountain who dominates the mountain!"
That's fine, after all, you did it all.
But Li Min would not hire these old guys to make a movie!
But it’s hard to refuse face to face.
So, Li Min couldn't help but said to Cheng Yaojin: "Old General Cheng, do you think this is good? You old generals really want to make a movie, but there is no suitable script!"
"If you can provide a suitable script, I will help you film it. What do you think?"
Hearing Li Min's words, these old guys couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they immediately ran to the side to join forces.
But Li Min ignored them and continued to go back to filming his movie.
Li Min originally thought that Cheng Yaojin and these old guys would pester him for several days.
But what he didn't expect was that the old guys hurried back to Chang'an the next day.
…
The reason why these old guys returned to Chang'an in such a hurry was because they really wanted to arrange a movie themselves.
Moreover, they had already thought of the script and arranged for them to follow Li Shimin to conquer the country.
The process of their fight was really exciting.
Cheng Yaojin feels that if they cannot put their deeds on the screen, it will definitely be the biggest regret in their lives.
However, this subject is very sensitive.
If you want to make this movie, you must obtain the emperor's permission.
But how can we get the emperor to agree to make this movie?
Along the way, these old guys made a decision after some calculations.
After returning, they worked together to find Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was also a little surprised that these old guys came back so quickly.
Soon, Li Shimin invited them all into the imperial study.
"I have met the emperor!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Okay, there are no outsiders, and there is no need for so many false courtesy. After all, why are you looking for me this time?"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but say: "Hey! Hey hey! Hey hey hey!"
Li Shimin said with a black line on his face: "Speak like a human being."
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, it's like this. After some discussion, I think we can actually make a movie."
Um?
These old guys are looking for me because of this matter?
If you are just making a movie, why do you need to ask me for instructions?
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "What kind of movie do you want to make, and why do you want to ask me for permission?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from the Emperor. That's how it is. After some discussion, I felt that we could make a movie based on the story of our business venture!"
Yuchi Gong also said: "That's right, Your Majesty, it's a pity that future generations don't know our heroic demeanor!"
Next to him, Qin Qiong said disdainfully: "You have a big black face. If you can't speak, don't speak. That's a cool and heroic way to describe a woman, okay?"
"It's to show our heroism, Your Majesty, think about it, if we don't take pictures now, maybe future generations will take pictures too."
"And when they film it, they have to find actors to play us. Your Majesty, do you think there are any actors who can portray our heroic spirit?"
After hearing what these old guys said, Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After a while, Li Shimin couldn't help but said enthusiastically: "Okay, I agree to your proposal! And, I will also appear in person! By the way, you let the King of Shu design the script, and when the time comes, come to Chang'an to film! This
This matter is settled!"
ah?
The emperor actually decided on this matter so easily?
They tried many tricks to persuade the emperor, but none of them worked.
It always gives them the feeling of being punched into cotton.
What they didn't expect was that the emperor himself would also participate in the performance.
The emperor actually wants to make a movie just like them?
Of course, in fact, they think that what is more difficult is the subsequent requirements.
It is not difficult to ask the King of Shu to design the script, but the difficulty is that the King of Shu must come to Chang'an to shoot.
And will the King of Shu come?
You know, since he had a rift with the emperor, the King of Shu has never returned to Chang'an to pay his respects.
What I was afraid of was being detained by the emperor in Chang'an.
Now the king of Shu listens to the tune but not the propaganda.
The emperor really created a big problem for them and the King of Shu!
Soon, the news was passed to the King of Shu.
After hearing the news, King Shu was also shocked.
What?
In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were a bunch of veteran generals who were not doing their job properly, but even the emperor was so neglectful?
Even his father wants to make a movie himself?
Don't they think the actor is an insult to the dignity of the royal family?
Well, actually now, everyone really doesn’t feel this way.
After all, the movie had just come out.
The first film was about the Battle of the Tang Dynasty. The movie gave people an extremely high-end feeling.
If it were like the later generations, after all kinds of funny movies about the lives of little people were put on the big screen.
I'm afraid that Li Shimin will think deeply and may not consider making any movies.
Li Min could actually understand Li Shimin's choice.
Li Min felt that his father mainly wanted to leave his image as an emperor forever on the screen for future generations to admire.
Of course, the most important reason why my father agreed to make this movie was.
That is to discredit the Sui Dynasty and exaggerate the wisdom and prowess of the founding emperor and generals of the Tang Dynasty.
But Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was also his grandfather Li Min!
His father asked him to do this and asked him to go to Chang'an to shoot. This was making things difficult for him!
After thinking for a long time, Li Min finally decided on the script.
"The Biography of Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties".
This is of course taken from a later book. Of course, Li Min could not have photographed everything step by step.
In that case, the plot would be too long, enough to make a forty-episode TV drama.
Li Min decided to streamline it and make a three-episode movie.
As for Emperor Yang of Sui's debauchery and immorality, Li Min only wanted to mention it briefly.
Yang Guang's evaluation in later generations varied greatly.
Some people think that he is dissolute and immoral, and that he exacts excessive taxes.
Some people think that he was a peerless genius and an emperor for the ages, but he was just too eager for quick success and quick gain because he touched the interests of aristocratic families and eventually destroyed his country.
Li Min didn't want to comment on this cheap grandpa.
But in the late Sui Dynasty, people's lives were miserable and they were living in dire straits. This was definitely necessary.
In this case, it would be good to reflect some issues from the perspective of the lives of the people in the late Sui Dynasty.
Li Min's focus is on which civil and military ministers in the general court, of course mainly some people from the Prince's Palace, should focus on reacting to.
As for the subsequent Xuanwu Gate incident, Li Min was not stupid, and of course he would not film such content to discredit Li Shimin.
But we can’t get around this, so what should we do?
Li Min had already thought about it. If there was no way around it, then the movie would end after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Anyway, there are only three episodes of the movie, the upper, middle and lower parts, and there are many characters appearing, so the plot must be very compact.
In the original Biography of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were two popular heroes, Li Yuanba and Luo Cheng, but in actual history, these two characters did not exist.
These two heroic characters are really well portrayed.
Should they appear or not?
After much deliberation, Li Min finally decided not to do it.
Maybe, in the future, someone will add these two fictional heroes to the list.
Now that he has this blueprint, Li Min also has the Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties as a blueprint.
At the same time, there are countless TV series that filmed the Tang Dynasty for reference, so it is very easy to write the script.
In only half a month, Li Min finished writing the script of The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and submitted it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is actually very picky about this script.
The ancestor of the Tang Dynasty was an old minister of the Sui Dynasty and was related to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
First, we must get rid of the image of the old ministers being rebellious.
Secondly, it is necessary to emphasize the description of these heroic figures.
After Li Shimin read the script, he found that Li Min handled everything perfectly.
In fact, it is much more perfect than their real deeds.
Li Shimin blushed when he saw some things.
I feel like I didn’t do that well at that time.
After reading the script, Li Shimin immediately made the decision to film The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Next, it depends on whether Li Min, the king of Shu, dares to come to Chang'an for filming.
Li Shimin guessed that he would definitely not dare to come alone and would probably send someone else to take photos.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Li Min, the king of Shu, rushed to Chang'an in person.
I brought a group of people to prepare for the filming of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Li Min actually dared to come to Chang'an, and even Li Shimin was shocked.
Could it be that my previous suspicions about him were completely groundless?
The war in Nanzhao should be confirmed through movies, and it is indeed true.
But now, Min'er is not afraid of being detained in Chang'an by me at all, and actually dares to go to Chang'an alone.
this!
Could it be that I really misunderstood Zhen'er?
In fact, Li Min really has nothing to be afraid of!
Now Li Min not only had no fault for the imperial court, but also made great contributions.
Even Li Shimin had no excuse to arrest him.
Of course, Li Shimin could have put him under house arrest in Chang'an.
However, I am a systematic person, so how could I possibly put him under house arrest?
Therefore, Li Min is really confident.
After arriving in Chang'an, Li Min first went to the palace to meet Li Shimin and Concubine Yang.
The mother and son had another affectionate conversation, which needs no further mention.
In fact, although Li Min had not been to Chang'an for more than a year.
But Concubine Yang actually went to Yizhou, many times.
With her grandson and granddaughter, how could Concubine Yang be able to bear it?
Now, Concubine Yang puts more love into her grandson and granddaughter.
Seeing Li Min, I was no longer as excited as before.
After meeting Li Shimin, Li Min proposed.
The younger version of Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others, they acted by themselves, the age range is too big.
It's better to find a stuntman.
Of course, this substitute cannot be found outside.
For example, for Cheng Yaojin, just look for Cheng Chuliang. It is said that this guy is almost carved from the same mold as Cheng Yaojin when he was young.
Other veterans can find their own heirs.
The most difficult thing now is Li Shimin.
Of course, Li Shimin's substitute must be found among the princes.
But it is Li Shimin who has the final say as to who to use.
