Although his clothes were very stylish, his hair was slightly messy.
This was also because the background of the script was Cao Pi escorting Cao Zhi from prison.
"First…Let's act first…"
Liu Haoran said awkwardly.
Then, everyone prepared the equipment for the shoot.
The structure of the short film was not complicated. It was divided into three scenes.
In the first scene, Cao Pi met his mother. His mother bitterly rebuked him for killing his brother and begged Cao Pi to spare her brother Cao Zhi's life.
The second scene was in the main hall. Cao Pi was furious when he learned that Cao Zhi had not paid his respects to his father. He wanted to punish Cao Zhi for his crimes and ordered people to bring Cao Zhi here.
The third scene was in the main hall. Cao Pi ordered Cao Zhi to compose a poem in seven steps. If he failed, he would kill Cao Zhi. However, Cao Zhi's memories after learning of Zhen Mi's death were added to the script.
The essence of this script was Act Two and Act Three.
The performance soon began.
Twenty-two years of Jian 'an.
After the death of Cao Cao, the King of Wei, his son Cao Pi succeeded in fighting for the throne. Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, came to attend the funeral and was captured by Cao Pi. However, Cao Zhi, the Marquis of Linzi, did not come. Cao Pi was furious and immediately ordered Cao Zhi to be arrested and imprisoned.
When his mother, Lady Bian, found out about this, she personally called Cao Pi over, hoping that Cao Pi would spare her brother's life.
This scene was soon over.
Liu Haoran's foundation was not bad, but after Fang Jing's guidance on the script, he had a deeper understanding of the characters.
Although it wasn't outstanding, it was still considered qualified.
Soon after, it was the crucial second and third scenes.
"Your Majesty, as the son of the late king, the Marquis of Linzi didn't come to attend the funeral but instead played in his fief. This is against human ethics. I hope Your Majesty can punish him in the hall today.”
In the main hall, an official stepped forward and advised Cao Pi.
After Cao Cao passed away, Cao Pi no longer placed the Han Dynasty in his eyes. His intention to usurp the Han Dynasty was clear.
In the court, the ministers all followed his lead.
Cao Pi pretended to be heartbroken." Although he is my brother, this matter must be handled according to the law. Otherwise, how can I face my father's spirit in heaven! Men, bring him up!"
Everyone in the hall looked out of the palace.
In prison.
The imperial guard rushed over and shouted at Cao Zhi," Linzi Marquis, His Majesty has ordered us to escort you to the palace. Please!"”
Cao Zhi's eyes were emotionless. He slowly stood up and tidied up his clothes that had been messed up before filming. Then, he combed his hair with his fingers.
Liu Haoran and the others, who were watching the scene, were amazed by the details. Cao Zhi was one of the representatives of the Jian An Empire. Although this matter seemed to have the meaning of a sour scholar and he knew that his brother wanted to kill him, he was not someone who would lose his composure in the face of life and death.
Liu Haoran was stunned for a moment because he seemed to have been completely brought into the image of Cao Zhi that Fang Jing had created.
He actually felt that this was how a scholar who viewed death should be.
Every detail of Fang Jing's expression was impeccable. He even thought that this was Cao Zhi!
The second scene.
"Linzi Marquis Cao Zhi has arrived!"
The guard in front of the hall shouted.
Cao Zhi was brought to the front of the hall.
His expression was calm as he looked forward and walked up the steps step by step.
Every step he took seemed to make the hearts of everyone in the hall tremble.
They seemed to see Cao Zhi, who had been heartbroken, protecting his last trace of strength.
He couldn't let his feet collapse. If they did, he would be finished.
It was as if they did not see Cao Zhi, who was struggling in the face of life and death.
Instead, he saw Cao Zhi who was "ready to die".
It was just these few steps, but the entire Cao Zhi seemed to have been brought to life by Fang Jing.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Cao Zhi did not mention the Prime Minister, but said that he was paying his respects to the King in the main hall. The meaning behind it was already clear.
His words were neither servile nor overbearing. He did not have the incomparable timidity in front of his powerful elder brother, nor did he lose his composure before facing life and death.
The ministers who wanted to criticize Cao Zhi were instantly silenced. Their eyes were only looking at Cao Zhi, who was worshipping in the hall.
"I'm here to apologize!"
Cao Zhi swept the floor with one hand and lay on the ground.
Cao Pi quickly regained his senses and snorted." Although you and I are brothers, righteousness is between monarch and minister. How can you be arrogant and rude because of your talent?”
There seemed to be a hint of success in his words. In the past, everyone knew that the former king loved Cao Zhi very much, but now he had become a prisoner here. His life was in his hands, so how could he not hold his head high?
Cao Zhi's expression was normal and he did not respond.
Cao Pi paused, as if he had some thoughts." When the former king was alive, you often boasted about your articles to others. I suspect that someone else wrote them for you. Today, I will give you seven steps to recite a poem. If you can, I will spare your life. If you can't recite it, I will spare your life."
At this point, Cao Pi's expression froze.
"If you can't, then your crime will be severely punished and I won't forgive you!”
His tone was unquestionable as he slapped the table.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the officials bowed and paid their respects.
"Can I?"
Cao Pi slapped the table again and looked at Cao Zhi. This kind of imperial desire to control made him intoxicated. At this moment, he had even more expectations for the throne.
In the hall, Cao Zhi slowly raised his head and looked at Cao Pi. Cao Pi, who was sitting on the throne, felt his heart skip a beat. At that moment, Liu Haoran, who was acting as Cao Pi, felt that he was almost stunned by that gaze.
The depths of Cao Zhi's eyes seemed to be filled with despair. His face revealed a trace of undetectable bitterness, and in an instant, it seemed that thousands of emotions were mixed.
"Where is Tiger Marquis?"
Cao Pi seemed to be very angry at Cao Zhi's indifference. As the " Emperor," how could he not be afraid of him?
"Yes!"
"If he can't make it within seven steps, I'll kill him immediately!”
For a moment, Cao Pi really wanted to kill him because Cao Zhi's gaze made him feel uncomfortable.
"Yes, sir!"
Tiger Marquis took the sword hilt with a fierce expression.
" Please-set the topic."
Cao Zhi looked at Cao Pi and said.
When these three words were said, it revealed his scholarly bearing.
If it wasn't for the fact that the filming was still ongoing, the people watching from the side couldn't help but shout," Wonderful!"
