Our ancestors once said: Since I, Zhou Yu am already born, why does the Heavens want a Zhuge Liang?

In “Vie for Supremacy”, according to the second male lead Dongli Lan, he met an old life-long enemy, his own shidi—Wanqi Yao.

When they were younger, the two had a very deep friendship. But as they grew older, gossip ran amok among the soldiers in the barracks. Dongli Lan gradually lost to Wanqi Yao and had no means to retaliate. Their master already seems to like his shidi more, teaching everything from his whole lifetime of painstaking toil to Wanqi Yao and in the end, even made him the next Master of Wang Qiu Pavilion.

That was why, the year before his Master gave Wang Qiu Pavilion to Wanqi Yao, Dongli Lan took the initiative to betray his Master’s teachings and left so that he could disregard this shame. How much affection there was between the brothers before in the past was how much there would be resentment and jealousy now. When he saw the other person again in the battlefield, Dongli Lan stared into the distance at that shidi in the middle of the ten thousand army, only coldly sneering once before raising his sword.

“Whoever kills him will be rewarded ten thousand gold taels and the title of Marquis!”

If one asked who could take more heads from the ten thousand people, Dongli Lan was far superior than Wanqi Yao. However, if one says that it was ten thousand people battling in war, Dongli Lan would not even see a slim chance of victory in front of Wanqi Yao.

This afternoon scene that was being filmed would be the first meeting between the two. Acting among a large number of people during filming was a very difficult thing to do, however, Rong Xu and Ye Qiao only NG twice before perfectly finishing this scene.

Director Guo watched the footage on the screen and knitted his brows, no one knew what he was thinking so deeply about.

That kind of innate evil feeling admitting from Ye Qiao’s bones really was extremely suitable for Dongli Lan’s role. So when the investors were pushing people out, Director Guo didn’t reject him. As for Rong Xu……

Displayed on the screen was the young man who was dressed in white, standing there facing the wind and calmly looking at his own senior brother.

When he first chose to become Chu State’s military advisor, Wanqi Yao naturally knew that he would sooner or later face this day. However, it was still reckoned that no matter how much his knowledge and wisdom was near otherworldly level, he would have never expected that on their first meeting Dongli Lan would have issued a military order of ten thousand gold taels and Marquis title as a reward for his life to his soldiers.

In Rong Xu’s performance, while his eyes appeared to be calm, it had a slight fluctuation. When Dongli Lan shouted out with that reward grant, his pupil quivered ever so slightly and his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something but in the end, could only tightly pursed his lips together without saying anything.

This astonishment and sadness that just used a little bit of details to deduce out such an expression caused even Director Guo to feel very concerned. He repeatedly watched this scene on the screen and waited until a bit later before calling the head of the screenwriter’s studio, quietly opening a meeting: “Think about it for a bit. Give this minor support character a more major role and add a bit more drama.”
