186. You’re not a great actor for nothing

Ancient Tang #1: The appearance of Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

‘Lee Se-min’, who has enjoyed ‘gambling’ and ‘martial arts’ rather than ‘books’ since childhood, and who later becomes King Taejong, shows a warlike tendency to the point of slaughtering both provincial powers and rebels who do not follow him.

Accordingly, the crown prince ‘Lee Kun-seong’ and the youngest brother ‘Lee Won-gil’ were engulfed in great anxiety.

“Won-Gil. The second Se-Min’s behavior is unusual. If we continue like this, we will suffer.”

At the words of ‘Lee Kun-seong’, the current crown prince and the eldest brother, the youngest Lee Won-gil also nods.

“If it’s the second older brother’s temperament, that’s enough. Since I was young, I always had to have what I wanted to get rid of that temper.”

Thus, the two devised a plan to eliminate ‘Lee Se-min’.

However, ‘Lee Se-min’, who has already spread his power horribly and planted his eyes everywhere, notices this.

“Do the older brother and the youngest dare to overtake me?”

Enraged, Lee Se-min uses the information in reverse to set a trap.

“Semin-ah. I’m your older brother. Save me.”

“Brother. I just did as I was told. Please save your life.”

Lee Se-min, who had been watching the brothers desperately begging for life, turned around, and his subordinate slaughtered the two brothers with a single knife.

“Cuck”

That’s how Lee Se-min brutally murders his own brothers, ‘Lee Kun-seong’ and ‘Lee Won-gil’.

When the situation was like that, the father and emperor ‘Lee Yeon’ had no choice but to make his second son, Lee Se-min, the crown prince.

Two months later, ‘Lee Se-min’ ascended the throne as Taizong, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Like Lee Se-min, who has a warlike tendency, he shows a warlike side after ascending the throne.

He went directly to the battlefield and destroyed the Donggol Palace, and the tribes such as Khitan, Hae, Seup, and Silwi humbled themselves and entered under Lee Se-min at his bloody steps.

It was the birth of a combat-type absolute monarch.

“Cut”

Director Justin Sun, who focused on the five split screens being sent to the monitor, shouted cut.

This concludes the filming that will strongly highlight Tang Taejong Lee Se-min to the audience at the beginning of the play.

“As expected… Liao Fan. You’re definitely doing well. You’ve been preparing well.”

Time passed like flowing water, and almost a month had passed since the filming of Gaudang.

Justin Sun recalled Liao Fan’s performance with a satisfied smile.

Liaofan, as if embodying the real figure of Tang Taizong Lee Se-min, showed the absolute figure well in front of everyone.

“He definitely has the charisma to dominate the crowd.”

I was a little worried because I was an actor brought in from the production company, but director Justin Sun was relieved to see him do better than expected.

“If this is enough, Song Gyu-ha will feel a little burdened, right?”

Even in sports, there is a difference in skill between home team games and away team games.

It was never easy to take on the role of a general who had to come to a distant place and lead tens of thousands of soldiers.

If I was like a normal person, I would have wanted to run away from the heavy burden.

“There is no choice but to be a showdown between the two actors’ acting skills and mastery.”

Director Justin Sun’s eyes were wet with anticipation.

High Tang Dynasty Scene No. 28: Yeon Gaesomun’s rise to the Great Ridge.

Fourteen years have passed since Li Semin ascended the throne as emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Goguryeo was facing a period of cataclysm, and as Yeon Gaesomun’s power grew stronger day by day, the king and ministers felt great anxiety.

“Your Majesty. We can’t let Yeon Gaesomun go wild any longer. He is a very dangerous man.”

“I greet you, Your Highness. He’s like an angry wolf. If you leave him alone, he’ll bring you great trouble.”

King Youngryu also nodded as he watched the officials shouting the danger of Yeon Gaesomun with one mouthful.

“That’s right. Yeon Gaesomun was never satisfied with the position he was in.”

In this way, King Yeongnyu and his ministers devise a plot to get rid of Yeon Gaesomun.

However, Yeon Gaesomun quickly noticed this.

“Brother! It’s an intelligence report that the king and the ministers are trying to kill you. Are you going to stay like this?”

Despite the indignant shouts of her younger sister, Yeonsu-yeong, Yeon Gae-so-mun was not shaken.

Yeon Gaesomun, who smiled and caressed the horse’s earthy mane, finally opened his mouth.

“Don’t worry, Sooyoung. I expected it. They will fall for my tricks and eventually destroy themselves.”

Only then did Yeon Yeon-yeong feel relieved at Yeon Gae-so-mun’s confident words.

It was because he had seen since childhood that his monstrous brother always had plans for something like that.

and after some time

Yeon Gaesomun gathers the soldiers and invites the ministers to a party in the name of fever.

No one could have predicted that the place where there was endless laughter while drinking alcohol and meat without knowing anything would soon be dotted with screams of pain along with the dizzy smell of blood.

“Khahahahaha, these rat-like bastards. To think they were sitting behind the scenes conspiring like that. Did you think that would work for me, Yeon Gae-so-mun?”

“Oh, I’m wrong. I’ve never… Aagh!!”

Instead of backing away and protesting, Yeon Gaesomun blew Hana’s throat in an instant.

It was the beginning of the carnage.

Blocked on all sides by high walls, there was nowhere for them to escape.

Yeon Gaesomun slaughtered nearly 180 ministers on the spot.

His head was soaked with blood, and his face was covered in blood, reminiscent of a blood person.

Yeon Gaesomun shouts loudly with a bright smile that does not match his cruel appearance.

“hahahahaha! I’m feeling refreshed after I wiped out all the rat-like bastards who were only plotting behind the scenes like this.”

“Brother, where are you heading next?”

“Where are you, bastard? I have to go to the palace.”

Yeon Gaesomun, who turned around and stormed into the palace, cuts the gatekeeper in half with a single knife.

all over

His blood-soaked shoes left marks on the dry dirt floor.

Yeon Gaesomun approaches King Yeongnyu who looks down on him.

“Euhahahaha, King. What was the hero who saved Goguryeo from the Sui Dynasty so afraid of, trying to get rid of this Yeon Gaesomun?”

Yeongryu King looked at Yeon Gaesomun’s eyes, filled with speculation and madness, and opened his mouth.

“In the end, I had a gut feeling that it would be like this.

“Huh! That’s just an excuse. All of this is something you brought on yourself. This wouldn’t have happened if you had given me troops earlier and told me to fight the Tang Dynasty. The hero who defended Goguryeo from ‘Sui’ was ‘Dang’ like that. Were you scared? Why were you so condescending to the ‘party’?”

“It was all for Goguryeo! Our Goguryeo suffered too much damage in the war with Sui.

“Tsk tsk. You must have grown old and senile. Anyway, stop now.”

Yeongaesomun blew off King Yeongnyu’s head, cut the body into five pieces, and threw them into the gutter.

Later, he made his nephew Jang (臧) the scarecrow king, and he was the last king of Goguryeo, King Bojang (寶藏王).

Yeon Gaesomun, who placed King Bojang as a scarecrow, seized both military and personnel rights, and then rose to the position of Daemakliji (大莫離支) and won absolute power.

***

Director Justin Sun had thrills all over his body.

My breathing quickened, and my heart pounded like crazy as if I had met someone I loved.

Yeon Gaesomun is truly a hero among heroines.

There were many articles denigrating him in various history books, but considering that the hostile country had no choice but to discredit him somehow, he was a truly great figure.

In the records of political affairs such as Gudangseo, Sindangseo, and Samguk sagi, descriptions of Yeon Gaesomun’s personality and appearance came out.

His personality was rough and cruel, but at the same time he was courageous, generous, and bold.

As for the appearance, he has a handsome face, wide eyes, and a beautiful beard.

In addition, it was recorded that he decorated his official uniform with gold and that he usually wore five swords.

“It’s crazy. It’s really crazy. It’s the story itself that I had in my head.”

Justin Sun muttered as if possessed.

“It’s tremendous spirit and charisma. You won’t learn these things just because you learn them.”

In the case of Liao Fan, who played the role of Lee Se-min, his gigantic size and rough impression also played a role, but he had a spirit that controlled the crowd, perhaps because he did a lot of historical dramas.

So I was worried.

Compared to him, Kyu-ha was small and had a gentle image.

But the worries were in vain.

“It took hold of the scene at once.”

The extras who were slaughtered in the play were so frightened that even after the filming was over, they trembled and could not escape their fear.

In particular, no one could even breathe in the act of cutting the gatekeeper with a single knife and cutting the king of Yeongryu, Go Gunmu, in one blow.

Justin Sun asked the assistant director.

“Hey. Are the extras okay?”

“Don’t even talk. I’m going to die of trouble with talking nonsense about how I almost died because I was half crazy.”

For some reason, Justin Sun could guess the horror the extras must have felt.

You must have felt as if your body was being torn apart with a single knife.

Didn’t he, who was super focused on the monitor screen, almost run into the scene thinking there was a life-threatening accident?

“You mean it wasn’t just a fluke that you won the Cannes Best Actor Award?”

Justin Sun’s gaze turned to Gyuha, who was resting alone in the corner.

There were still more shoots left, so the blood that covered the whole body was still the same.

No one tried to get close to him.

The assistant director was also stomping his feet, unable to approach him with a drink in his hand.

Director Justin Sun approached the assistant director, gave him a drink, and approached Kyu-ha.

“Song Gyu-ha?”

Kyuha, who had been crouching down and staring at the floor, lifted her head.

Startle

Director Justin Sun took two or three steps back from the spot.

‘What kind of person’s eyes?’

Would a deer feel like this when it faces a tiger?

The moment you encounter the glowing ferocious eyes.

Justin Sun couldn’t do anything except stand still as if his body had stopped functioning.

“You want me to? Thank you.”

“Ah…yes. You must be thirsty, so please eat.”

stinging

Kyu-ha says thanks with innocent eyes as if that had never happened.

What was the evil eye that he had just seen?

Justin Sun felt possessed by a ghost.

After clearing his confused mind, Justin Sun slumped down in the seat next to Gyuha.

“It’s been quite a while since filming started. Is there anything difficult?”

“Um… I don’t have too many difficulties yet. The role is fun too.”

Justin Sun swallowed his admiration inwardly.

‘I’m not a great actor for nothing. If it’s a normal person, it might be crushed by the pressure.’

It occurred to me that Song Gyu-ha’s vessel was really big.

And there was someone watching it from afar.

“Eugh. Cheeky bastard. I really don’t like it.”

It was Liao Fan dressed as Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

He was also the one who watched Kyuha’s performance on set.

“Kuh. Let’s see how well you do. Historical dramas aren’t something you can do well with a bit of martial arts.”

But the results were astonishing.

Truly unconventional and explosive acting that makes even one’s own hostile feelings open.

Liao Fan managed to suppress his admiration and scolded him.

“You’re acting very misleadingly. Even so, it’s about the general of a small country.”

Liao Fan urgently calls somewhere.

After hanging up the phone, Liao Fan looked at Kyu-ha and smiled viciously.

“I’ll see you when we shoot the war scene. It makes me crawl on the floor.”

Liao Fan never dreamed that he would be the one to crawl on the cold dirt floor.
