Chen Yaozhong was the most outstanding general of the Kingdom of Jing, he only loved one woman in his life and followed one king. Later, the woman he loved died during childbirth, and on that day it was so dark that Chen Yaozhong gave his child the name Chen Muyi. Shortly after the birth of his child, he went to war, the times were turbulent, and as a general, he inevitably spent more time and energy on the affairs of state, leaving his back to Chen Muyi, who grew up alone.
Eighteen years later, Chen Muyi grew up, he and his father weren’t close, they rarely spoke and when they did, it was with cold expressions, more often than not, he practiced his marksmanship alone. Chen Yaozhong always told him that heroes emerged in troubled times, and that men were born to serve their country and take the family and the world as their mission. Chen Muyi remembered this saying, and at the age of eighteen, he led the army into battle.
Even though he was young, he was able to rely on his excellent force and flexible battlefield command to break the enemy’s army and win one battle after another. However, no one expected that Chen Muyi would be wounded and captured during the battle with Qing Kingdom, the strongest rival of Jing Kingdom, and would quickly betray his country to serve the enemy.
Chen Yaozhong didn’t believe that his son would do such a thing. He went out to fight Chen Muyi himself, only to find out that his son had indeed betrayed his country.
Chen Muyi only said three words in a cloudy manner, “I hate you.”
Chen Yaozhong didn’t understand, Chen Muyi was riding on his horse, the young man was holding a sharp blade, there was pride and hatred in his eyes, but his voice was calm, “In your eyes, there is only this country, there is no me. Since that is the case, I will destroy this country and show you my strength.”
Chen Yaozhong was shocked and indignant, and his long sword stabbed at Chen Muyi, but he was stopped by him, and father and son fought, Chen Muyi was finally defeated and went back to his camp injured.
Chen Yaozhong, in order to wake up his rebellious son, asked the king of the country again and again to bring troops to attack the Qing Kingdom, but he was stopped by the king. When the Qing Kingdom came again, Chen Muyi was still leading the troops, and Chen Yaozhong asked him in front of the battle, “Do you know your mistake?”
Chen Muyi replied disdainfully, “What’s mistake?”
The battle was about to start, but even though Chen Muyi was a young man, he was no match for Chen Yaozhong, who had spent half his life in the army. Chen Yaozhong had no intention to kill him, but the sword was blind, and the spear stabbed into Chen Muyi’s chest by mistake. He looked at his father, his eyes were calm, as if he had something to say, yet he seemed to have nothing to say. He died on the battlefield, in the hands of Chen Yaozhong.
However, what everyone didn’t know was that Chen Muyi didn’t actually commit treason. Before he set out for Qing Kingdom, his king had a secret talk with him, hoping that he would go to the enemy country as a spy and, after figuring out the situation of the enemy country, he would destroy the roots so that the enemy country would fall into chaos.
Chen Muyi remembered what his father had taught him – that a man was born to serve his country and take the family and the world as his duty. He didn’t hesitate long before he agreed, and he quickly thought of his reasons for treason. For this reason, he pretended to be defeated and captured, and for this reason, he fabricated a trumped-up hatred. He suffered a great deal in the Qing Kingdom, and it took a great deal of effort to gain the trust of the other king and dutifully pass on information about the enemy country to his own king.
The moment Chen Muyi accepted the mission, his king asked him, “This trip is extremely dangerous, perhaps you will die in the enemy country, is there anything you want me to convey to your father?”

At that moment, Chen Yaozhong stabbed his sword into Chen Muyi’s chest cavity.
At the end of the script, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and successfully led the kingdom of Jing to defeat the kingdom of Qing with the information his father received from Chen Muyi. In the midst of the nation’s celebration, all the subjects applaud the new king and spitefully cursed Chen Muyi, who had betrayed his family and country. Chen Yaozhong, on the other hand, took a nap in the afternoon and somehow dreamt of Chen Muyi and himself practicing martial arts when he was young.
At that time, Chen Muyi was still very young, and the lance in his hand was taller than even himself, and he looked at the lance with eyes full of doubts.
Chen Yaozhong told him, “This is your weapon, later, you will become a general, holding it to guard your country.”
The young Chen Muyi didn’t yet understand the meaning of this sentence, but only looked at the sword in his hand and nodded obediently.
Chen Yaozhong stroked his head, his eyes were full of tenderness.
As Ji Qingzhou finished reading this script, he felt emotional, when he was watching TV as a teenager, he found that all the undercover agents would eventually be rehabilitated and receive their honor, however, Ji Qingzhou had thought, what if they died in the middle of the unfortunate situation? Or what if their higher-ups had an accident? Then their lives, wouldn’t they be scorned forever?
The heroes on the surface were bright and shiny, loved by all when they got the honor they deserved; but the heroes in the dark? Not to mention the honor, they were even misunderstood by people, they were abused but they couldn’t speak to explain their suffering and who could understand it? The human heart was the most unpredictable and most unknown to people, he may have outwardly did things that were harmful and disgraceful to people, but every night, because of the inner torment, he tossed and turned, and had countless sleepless nights.
Ji Qingzhou was convinced that, in the long history, the kind of people who gave up their positive image and dedicated themselves but remained unknown until their death, existed. He never thought that today, he’d really see such a story.
He sighed and turned to Zhou Chengfeng, “I want to act in this movie, I like the character.”
“This role is really likeable, not only is the character intention high, the contrast before and after the treason and the character’s inner entanglement, have a lot of room for you to work with. Read the script in the next two days, and I’ll accompany you to the audition. I hope it will be a success.”
“I hope so.” Ji Qingzhou agreed.
Chu Cheng came home to see Ji Qingzhou attentively reading the script. He leaned forward to look at it, “New script?”
“The script for the audition, I don’t know if the audition will be successful.”
“You are so good, naturally it’ll be fine.” Chu Cheng said without hesitation.
Ji Qingzhou propped up his head and looked at him, “This script is quite good, the character roles are also good, Kang Yicheng is such a big director, I don’t want to miss it.”
“Don’t worry, so many directors have praised you for your acting skills before, Sheng Wenxi even crazily wanted to sign you to his agency in order to get you to act in his movies, you don’t have a problem.”
“Then if I succeed in my audition, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
“Okay.” Chu Cheng rubbed his hair, if Ji Qingzhou didn’t succeed in the audition, then he’d go to the director to see if he could give Ji Qingzhou another chance to audition. It was rare for him to find a role he liked this much, if possible, Chu Cheng hoped he would act in it.
With this apprehensive and expectant mood, Ji Qingzhou went with Zhou Chengfeng to the audition location sent by Kang Yicheng’s assistant director two days later. He hadn’t seen Director Kang before, and this was the first time he had seen him, so he politely greeted him.
Director Kang was already in his fifties, he was slightly chubby and he loved smiling, so he looked very kind, Ji Qingzhou spoke with him a little and found that although he was a big director, he was very relaxed, which eased the tension in the heart.
They chatted for a while, Director Kang let the make-up artist and stylist take him in to try out the look first, and when he came out again, Director Kang couldn’t help but brighten up. He looked at the teenage general in front of him and couldn’t believe that this was the same person he had just talked to.
His aura had obviously changed.
Ji Qingzhou looked at the change in Director Kang’s eyes and knew that he was satisfied with his look. He had thought of Chen Muyi’s psychology for a long time before coming here, so when he changed his clothes, with the costume makeup and walked out, he naturally put himself into the role of Chen Muyi, and when he looked at Director Kang again, he didn’t respond as the actor Ji Qingzhou, but as the teenage general Chen Muyi.
This was a simple thing for him, he didn’t even realize the change in his own temperament, but director Kang saw it very clearly, so he was surprised. The more he looked at Ji Qingzhou, the more satisfied he was, Ji Qingzhou’s face was tender, even if he was already 22 years old, he looked like a student who had just started college, his young face fit the character in the movie, and finally when the truth came out, it would be more heartbreaking to the audience.
The director chose a scene in the movie for him to perform.
Ji Qingzhou also didn’t delay, he acted on the spot, a one-man show. At Kang Yicheng’s age, he always appreciated and encouraged the rise of the new generation of outstanding actors. After Ji Qingzhou’s audition, he patted Ji Qingzhou on the shoulder, “You are very smart in this respect. Don’t waste your talent, continue to work hard.”
“I will.” Ji Qingzhou replied respectfully.
Directoe Kang smiled and nodded in satisfaction, “Go back, rest well in the next few days, the work will be intense.”
These words were basically considered explicit, Ji Qingzhou looked at him with surprise, and didn’t dare to ask more, but he just couldn’t suppress the joy in his eyes, “Thank you, director, I will work hard.”
Director Kang waved his hand and let him leave.
Ji Qingzhou was so excited that he couldn’t restrain himself all the way, and he kept asking Zhou Chengfeng, “What Director Kang meant by this is that I’ve been selected, right? I understood correctly, right?”
Zhou Chengfeng seldom saw him so nervous, so he seriously responded, “Yes, yes, you have asked eight hundred times, it should be you.”
“Then what if he meets a more satisfactory actor later?” Ji Qingzhou couldn’t help but think, “After all, the audition isn’t over yet.”
“It won’t.” Zhou Chengfeng was more optimistic than him, “In order to fit the age of the character, the actor requirements are 16 to 23 years old, it’s hard to find actors in this age group that can act well, has a good image, but is also free, so they don’t have much to consider.”
“That’s good.” Ji Qingzhou lamented, “I hope I can get this role smoothly.”
“You seem to really like this role.” Zhou Chengfeng said with emotion.
I can already foresee how many people will cry after this movie airs. 😭😭😭
I really hope there won’t be an bad drama with this movie. 🤞For smooth sailing🤞
JQZ is so cute ♥️
✨✨
