I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 80: Did Cao Cao attack Jiangdong for the sake of the Two Qiaos?

The most popular mainland actors can only play supporting roles for the new generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors; mainland newcomers are not even worthy of playing leading roles.

Therefore, it can directly suppress the status and future prospects of newcomers from the mainland, while also allowing the status and commercial value of newcomers from Hong Kong and Taiwan to rise rapidly.

It can only be said that Wu Baige is more adept at being disgusting than him.

The Hong Kong Island reporter was a little confused when Cheng Sheng asked the question.

What reason could Cao Cao have to attack Jiangdong? Wasn't it simply to unify the whole country?
Does Wu Baige not even know this?
Even someone who is historically illiterate should know how to answer this.

The Hong Kong Island reporter didn't voice his question, but he remembered Cheng Sheng's words and would raise the issue to see if Wu Baige thought the same way he did.

Cheng Sheng is gone.

The Hong Kong Island reporters were excited and quickly polished their interviews before posting them on the newspaper's official website, giving away the first-hand news.

Before long, the article went viral online and was reposted, immediately causing a sensation.

They didn't expect Cheng Sheng to be so harsh; he was practically trying to offend Wu Baige to death.

That's so bold.

They even called him an old wolf that had been driven out of its pack.

It was full of sarcasm.

Having made so many movies over the years, Wu Baige's influence is undeniable, and his fans immediately launched a barrage of insults against Cheng Sheng online.

Is it too arrogant to criticize Cheng Sheng? He only made one movie, yet he doesn't seem to respect Wu Baige at all. Wu Baige is an internationally renowned director.

He also announced that he wanted to "compete" with Wu Baige's Three Kingdoms with his own Three Kingdoms movie.

Fans of the Three Kingdoms period are excited.

Two movies related to the Three Kingdoms period are sure to be a feast for Three Kingdoms fans.

Of course, Cheng Sheng's tough stance has led many to believe that he has become arrogant.

How can a director who has only made one film dare to compete with internationally renowned directors?

Isn't he afraid of being crushed?

[The real show is about to begin. Cheng Sheng's words were incredibly domineering, perfectly embodying the youthful arrogance, overbearing nature, and disdain for others.]

[Cheng Sheng vs. Wu Baige: Who is the true king of Three Kingdoms-themed works?]

I've been eagerly awaiting Cheng Sheng's new movie for ages. Hurry up and finish filming it; I've already paid for the tickets.

I'm really looking forward to the two "Three Kingdoms" movies; I wonder when they'll be released.

Although Wu Baige is an internationally renowned director, Cheng Sheng is far ahead in the historical film genre, and I believe he can win.

[Win my ass. He was lucky enough to make a wildly popular historical film. If he were to compare himself to Wu Baige, he wouldn't be afraid of being utterly crushed.]

[Mainland China's rising star director vs. veteran Hollywood director.]

[Heh heh, he dares to challenge international directors with just a historical film. This young man is truly ignorant. When he loses, I'll see how he dies.]

[Let's be rational and observe the situation. I don't care who wins; I'll wait for the movie to be released before making any judgments.]

……

The news of Cheng Sheng confronting Wu Baige directly sparked heated discussions among netizens and people in the industry online.

Some people think Cheng Sheng is too arrogant. Wu Baige is an internationally renowned director, so how dare he compare her to an old wolf?
"This bastard dared to publicly insult me; I'm determined to get rid of him from the entertainment industry."

"A greenhorn, he thinks he's the king of the world just because he made one movie. What an arrogant guy, he doesn't know how to respect his elders at all." "He wants to make a Three Kingdoms movie, doesn't he? I'll ruin his plans."

"Spread the word that anyone who acts in Cheng Sheng's movies will never be able to act in my movies again."

In a villa in Yizhou.

Wu Baige stood in front of the desk, her expression furious, panting heavily, and roaring almost uncontrollably.

Two people stood in front of him.

Both of them are very famous directors in the Yizhou entertainment industry.

clap clap!

At the height of her outburst, Wu Baige continued, slamming her hand on the desk and saying excitedly, "When I was making movies, those flops weren't even embryos. It's like the saying goes, 'When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.' Mainlanders are just inferior. If China Film Group hadn't begged me to come back, I wouldn't have even looked down on the mainland entertainment industry."

"Director Wu, don't be angry. Cheng Sheng is just loud; he's not capable at all. His movie can't even get into Yizhou," one of the Yizhou directors said shamelessly.

"Hmph! He won't even qualify for next year's Golden Horse Awards," another person scoffed.

"I must blacklist him. Cheng Sheng will never win the Hong Kong Film Awards or the Golden Horse Awards in his lifetime," Wu Baige said angrily.

"Yes Yes."

"We will definitely contact the Hong Kong entertainment industry to boycott this arrogant guy."

Hearing what the two directors said, Wu Baige finally calmed down and said, "In a few days, I will go to the mainland to discuss the investment of the film 'Red Cliff' with those film and television companies. You should have someone write the script as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, the script is already being written and will definitely be finished within three days."

Director Wu, what are your plans for the cast of "Red Cliff"?

"We'll use Hong Kong and Taiwan stars for the lead roles, and as for the supporting roles... since they've paid for it, we can't not give them some face. Let's have some big names from the mainland to raise the prices for the Hong Kong and Taiwan stars," Wu Baige sneered.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

"Director Wu, there's a news article online, just posted by a reporter from Hong Kong Island. He asked you on behalf of Cheng Sheng, asking why Cao Cao went to war with Jiangdong. Do you want to answer that?"

At this moment, Wu Baige's assistant walked into the study, handed her a mobile phone, and asked her a question.

Wu Baige frowned as she looked at the news on her phone and said, "Isn't there a Tang poem that says, 'If the east wind hadn't favored Zhou Yu, the two Qiao sisters would have been locked away in the Copper Sparrow Terrace'? That's what history says, so Cao Cao's attack on Jiangdong must have been for the sake of the two Qiao sisters!"

“That country bumpkin doesn’t even understand this much. Go tell the screenwriter to make it clear that Cao Cao’s conquest of Jiangdong was for Xiao Qiao.”

Upon hearing Wu Baige's words, the assistant opened his mouth, but seeing Wu Baige's dark face, he ultimately did not say anything.

But in his heart, he felt nothing but contempt, for Wu Baige was illiterate.

The meaning behind those two lines of poetry is that if it weren't for that timely east wind, an army of 200,000 would have defeated the Sun-Liu alliance and captured the riverside city within a few days.

Beauties like Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao would surely be captured by Cao Cao, locked in the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, and subjected to endless humiliation, only able to gaze at the spring scenery in vain with tears streaming down their faces.

But it actually alludes to Du Mu's great talent and wisdom, yet he was not given important responsibilities, using historical events to vent his frustration and resentment.

It's not real history at all.

Forget it.

He'd better not say anything, or he'd face Wu Baige's wrath.

Anyway, Wu Baige posted her words online, and she wasn't the one being ridiculed, so why should she worry about it?
