Chapter 144 From Doubt to Acceptance
"Who is he?"

In the distance, on a high hall that looked like a stage, a high and vague figure asked these five words in a sinister tone.

"My Lord, he is the Minister of War, Yang Yuxuan!"

The narrator was speaking, but the camera swept behind the wooden yoke. The close-up was blurred, but the shot was a distant shot, using the language of the camera to tell all the audience that the bloody man in yoke in front of them was Yang Yuxuan, and the person speaking was the eunuch Cao Shaoqin, played by Shen Lang, and his men in the distance!

"Yang Yuxuan submitted a letter of remonstrance to the emperor on the eighth day of the fourth month. He impeached the East Factory and requested the emperor to close it down and punish the governor!"

At this time, the camera circled around and finally captured the Minister of War Yang Yuxuan, who was sitting on the wooden yoke with disheveled hair and a bloody face.

Seeing this, the audience may not understand what camera movement is, but their years of experience in watching movies and their sensitivity to camera language immediately made them stop their discussions and dissatisfaction.

Everyone had the same thought in their mind: "It seems to be okay, not one of those shoddy movies."

As for how it can be done, no one seems to be able to say where specifically it can be done.

"My Lord! Here is Yang Yuxuan's letter of remonstrance!"

After this line came out, Wu Qihua and Liu Xun, two of the four leading actors, appeared in the camera.

For the first time, everyone saw the eunuchs' makeup from close-ups of their faces.

“It’s all heavy makeup!”

"Have you noticed? Lawrence Ng looks so feminine and weird in this movie!"

"And Mr. Liu, if he shaves his beard, he's a bad guy; if he sticks on a beard, he's a good guy. He's old, and this look really brings out that sinister side of him. It's not easy, not easy!"

"It's all about the makeup. I suddenly realized that, let's face it, the makeup in this play looks strange, but it's very sophisticated! Look, the hall where Shen Lang is sitting is not a court at all, but a stage!"

"Any precision?"

"Deciding life and death on stage, isn't this child's play?"

"Hiss! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it! Amazing! Look carefully, look carefully!"

……

Sure enough, the next second, Cao Shaoqin, played by Shen Lang, appeared in the camera.

He just showed up and everyone laughed.

Shen Nan said, "San'er, you really have to admit it, the way you wipe your mouth with a white handkerchief really looks a bit effeminate!"

Shen Ze also said: "And the way he sits sideways, he doesn't look like a high-ranking official at all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Xiaoyuan said, "Brother Shen is showing Cao Shaoqin's recklessness and arrogance. Can't you even see that?"

Yes, as a screenwriter, not only can you not write a script, but you don’t even have the ability to appreciate it?

"No, I didn't. I just thought there was a better way to express it!" Shen Ze quickly defended himself.

Haha, then why don’t you show us your talents?

Nothing!

The other two people from the Shen family rolled their eyes in the direction of Shen Ze in the darkness.

At this moment, in the picture, Cao Shaoqin, who was scolded by Yang Yuxuan, was captured by the camera from an upward shot, and the feeling of being high and mighty and willful came out all at once.

"Yang Yuxuan, I think you are getting more and more confused as you get older. Hand over your military power and I will spare your life!"

……

"Oh my god, why do I feel that the eunuch played by Lang Lang is so handsome!"

"Director Shen, are you still hiring?"

"What's so great about the East Factory under the command of Shen Lang? No matter whether it is the East Factory or the West Factory, they can't beat us, the Sixth Factory!"

……

"Don't even think about me handing over my military power!" Yang Yuxuan said in the camera.

At this time, a scene in which Shen Lang looked extremely handsome appeared.

In the movie theater, an entire wall was filled with his figure, creating a very oppressive feeling.

He touched her scarlet lips with the white handkerchief again and said, "You want an imperial decree?"

At this moment, he slowly placed the hand holding the white handkerchief on the armrest of the chair. "Let's write him a..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly extended his index finger and pointed in the direction of the camera.

"Fuck, what a handsome eunuch, what an arrogant eunuch, I like eunuchs so much..."

"Are you fucking sick? Do you like eunuchs?"

"No, no, no, what I mean is that I like Shen Lang's acting. It's so explosive. He brought Cao Shaoqin's arrogance to life with that fist and finger snap!"

"If we want an imperial edict, let's write him one... This is awesome!"

"This is probably the best eunuch in Chinese movies, right?"

When everyone heard this, hey, it seemed to be really like this.

Maybe what the person just said was a bit exaggerated and generalized.

But there is no doubt that Cao Shaoqin, played by Shen Lang, is definitely the most realistic, vicious and arrogant eunuch in any martial arts film, no doubt about it!

"So, always believe in Mr. Shen's acting skills!"

"That's right. No matter how bad this movie is, Teacher Shen, the eunuch, definitely adds points to the movie!"

……

At this point in the movie, five characters in a flamboyant style appeared on the screen:

【New Dragon Inn】.

When the audience saw these five words, they suddenly understood.

It turns out that the story has just begun?

Why did it feel like the movie had been playing for a long time just now?

It was all because Shen Lang's eunuch Cao Shaoqin acted so well that everyone was attracted by the arrogance and domineering behavior of the Director of the East Factory, and they thought that a lot of time had passed.

At this moment, there were no more audience members asking for a refund in the theater.

No one cares whether the background of the movie is reasonable or consistent with historical facts.

Everyone was originally relaxing, and they also knew that martial arts films were all made up.

Well, if in foreign movies, bullets from swung guns can turn corners, why can't our great Chinese Phoenix Tail Arrow do the same?

Just watch it!

Just have fun!

After "Prelude to the Small Knife Society", a grand scene appeared.

Over the vast Qilian Snow Mountains, a goshawk flew across the sky.

Two children on the riverbed at the bottom of the valley were escorted forward by officials.

This kind of real-life shooting, rather than shooting in a studio, is refreshing to everyone.

Although the martial arts movies of the past could not be said to be shoddy, many scenes were shot in studios.

A palm was chopped off and fell on the wellhead, which exploded and rubble splashed everywhere.

Can someone explain why this stone has a foamy texture? It floats in the air for a while before falling to the ground.

Why are there so few exterior shots? All we see are southern scenery, beaches, seas... So, martial artists are a specialty of Hong Kong Island, right?
But the play "New Dragon Inn" is different.

The knife-like cliffs on both sides, the Gobi Desert with yellow sand all over the sky, the exposed riverbed behind, and the desert in the distance make all the audience feel as if they are personally on the scene.

"Holy crap! This is so shocking!"

“It really feels like you’re in it!”

"All I see is yellow earth, desert and Gobi. I think of a poem: The long clouds over Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks towards Yumen Pass in the distance!"

"Don't use your little collection of poetry to embarrass yourself!"

At this point, everyone may not have noticed that they have gradually gone from questioning the movie in the beginning to unknowingly beginning to accept the new style of martial arts!
