Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 167 Qi Hui, go stand guard!
"Oh my... I'm exhausted!" As soon as she got back to her dorm, Zhang Ruoyun lay down on her bed, not wanting to move at all.

Armed swimming is exhausting!

They didn't practice anything else today except armed swimming; they spent several hours in the sea.

Several people suffered severe cramps and almost died.

If it weren't for the lifeguards on the naval speedboats watching over us, we would have been gone.

"Senior brother, how come your armed swimming skills are so good?" Zhang Ruoyun looked at Qi Hui and couldn't help but ask.

Qi Hui performed the best in today's training. Wang Hong initially planned to help him correct his swimming posture, but later stopped caring and let Qi Hui teach the others.

Qi Hui was extremely unwilling, but in the army, whatever the higher-ups said was the law. Whether you understood it or not, you had to obey. In short, you couldn't disobey.

Military orders are absolute, and that's no joke.

The first of the Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention is to obey all commands.

Qi Hui was speechless, but he could only obediently help Wang Hong as his assistant, teaching the other rookie actors how to swim in armor.

Anyway, I'll be slacking off in the future, so teaching them some things will be a way of making up for it.

This way, he can feel more at ease slacking off.

"Ah... I've learned it before," Qi Hui said weakly, sounding quite frustrated.

When he was at home, he felt listless and weak, and when he was away from Jing Tian, ​​he still felt listless and weak in the army.

Outrageous!

"I learned it before, and with some deliberate practice, I got it." Qi Hui casually made up a story: "You can do it too."

"Just practice more, didn't you make great progress today?"

“That makes sense.” Zhang Ruoyun nodded repeatedly, full of confidence.

Acquiring a new skill can easily boost a person's confidence, and that's exactly what Xiao Zhang is experiencing now.

"Senior brother, why do you always seem to be just going through the motions?" Zhang Ruoyun asked. "Are you really slacking off?"

"Nonsense!" Qi Hui glared and spouted nonsense, "I was just trying to figure out the character."

"Jiang Xiaoyu is the kind of person who tries to be clever during training, so of course I need to be familiar with him beforehand."

"As you know, the characters I played before, Xiao Zhuang and Jiang Xiaoyu, are very different,"

Of course, it's not all made up; at least half of it is true.

As for his other half... he definitely wants to slack off.

"Hey, Brother Qi." Bai Wei, who plays Xiang Yu, came over and asked, "Why is Instructor Wang always targeting you?"

"Is it true, as the paratrooper said, that the more you care, the more targeted you become?"

This is what the ostrich said in "I Am a Special Forces Soldier 1" during Hell Week.

Old Gao is always targeting Xiao Zhuang, and then these people gossip about him behind his back.

When Bai Wei and his team received the script, they knew that Qi Hui was the lead actor, so of course they wanted to watch the show "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".

Moreover, even if it weren't for this show, the show "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" was so popular that even if they hadn't seen it, they had at least heard of it.

"Hey, Brother Bai, don't call me brother." Qi Hui quickly stood up and said, "You are our senior, just call me by my name."

Bai Wei was in the 00 class of the Central Academy of Drama, the same year as Liu Meng.

Of course, the two were not classmates; one was in the acting department and the other in the directing department.

"Hahaha..." Bai Wei chuckled, and Fan Haolun, who played Zhao Ziwu, also came over.

In the entertainment industry, seniority doesn't matter; whoever is more famous and has more popular works is the boss.

Even if someone is older than you, it's perfectly normal for them to call you "brother".

If you disagree, we can use another name for you.

This is actually a good thing. Whoever is capable and popular will be awesome.

Compared to the Korean entertainment industry, which emphasizes seniority and junior relationships, the mainland entertainment industry is simply too good.

Next door, no matter how famous you are or how popular your work is, you must be respectful to your seniors, greet them, bow, and use honorifics when you see them.

Kim Soo-hyun was criticized by his fans in his home country because he was not respectful to Jun Ji-hyun.

Of course, given the dirty things he did, he deserved to be criticized. If this happened in the mainland entertainment industry, he would be executed.

"I don't know." Faced with their questions, Qi Hui shrugged: "Maybe it's the old squad leader's affection."

“You should have experienced this during your previous training.”

Upon hearing this, the people around him felt a sense of empathy and were somewhat at a loss for words.

When they first entered the recruit training camp, that's exactly how I looked. Beside them, He Ziming, who played Zhang Chong, didn't participate in the discussion, appearing somewhat dazed.

In fact, he can't swim and has barely even been in the water a few times.

But today, when I went into the water, Wang Hong kicked me in, and I almost developed a psychological trauma from it.

“I’m saying, we’re probably facing even more brutal training ahead…” another person said, speaking slowly with many pauses.

But he still managed to say a complete sentence.

Qi Hui looked over and realized it was Yang Zhigang.

He looks a bit old, is quite old, and isn't particularly handsome.

Qi Hui thought of the novel "Fire Blue Blade" that he had read before he transmigrated. He thought it was quite good when he first watched the first one or two episodes.

Especially the episodes about surviving on a desert island, but Qi Hui suddenly lost interest in the following episodes.

The protagonist, Jiang Xiaoyu, is somewhat pathetic. He is not good at training, gets scolded by his squad leader, disliked by his teammates, and despised by his superior, Xiang Yu, the platoon leader.

Only Uncle Long and Captain Long still have faith in him.

Qi Hui had no idea why he was watching this show. The main character was ugly and pathetic, and it made him very angry.

If it weren't for the good plot of the later sea training camp scenes, Qi Hui probably would have given up on this show altogether.

Actually, there's another point: Jiang Xiaoyu and the female lead Shen Ge have absolutely no chemistry.

They look more like a greasy middle-aged man and a pure female college student.

In particular, the two met through ten minutes of artificial respiration.

This is somewhat...sleazy!
So, Qi Hui almost gave up, but the more he read, the more he thought Jiang Xiaoyu was pretty good.

Later on, Jiang Xiaoyu even became the soul of the show.

Yang Zhigang's later works were also very good, especially the Tang Dynasty Ghost series, which were simply unforgettable.

"Hello, Senior Brother Yang," Qi Hui greeted him.

Yang Zhigang was in the class of '99 at Beijing Film Academy, the same class as Yao Chen and Lao Ling.

However, he was a few years older than the two of them. He was born in 77 and graduated from Hebei Provincial Art Vocational School before entering the Beijing Film Academy.

"Hello, junior brother, please take care of me in the future." Yang Zhigang said with a smile. Although Qi Hui had taken the lead role from him, he didn't feel too much about it.

The reason is simple: it was decided by higher-ups. His brother, Guo Jingyu, did try to get it, but no one else was chosen.

What they want are Marines who are both handsome and capable of fighting, just like Tom Cruise.

He is indeed a bit lacking in appearance and age.

"Hehe, we look out for each other... Hey, which role did you play again?" Qi Hui suddenly remembered and quickly asked.

At first, he thought Yang Zhigang was playing Zhang Chong, because Yang Zhigang has become quite muscular now.

He had a bronze complexion, was strong and muscular, with four abdominal muscles and a fairly large chest.

Compared to Qi Hui, his physique is not good-looking at all, but his overall temperament can be summed up in two words: fierce!

It's not surprising that Qi Hui mistook him for Zhang Chong.

After all, given his brother's connections, if he can't play the lead male role, can't he at least play the third male lead?

"Hehe, I'll play Balang." Yang Zhigang chuckled, his manner incredibly amiable.

Qi Hui was speechless for a moment: "Looks like I'm going to get a scolding from you."

"stand up!!"

Just then, a shout rang out at the doorway, and Wang Hong walked in slowly with a stern face.

Instantly, everyone in the dormitory jumped up as if they had been electrocuted and stood at attention.

Wang Hong's face darkened even more after glancing at the state of the dormitory. The blankets and sheets were in disarray, which made him furious.

However, he didn't say anything, since he couldn't really apply military regulations to these actors.

Looking around, Wang Hong pointed at Qi Hui and said in a deep voice, "Qi Hui, come out here."

"Huh?" Qi Hui looked confused, but also wary. "What are you going to do?"

"It's nothing, go and stand guard," Wang Hong said.

"What?" Qi Hui was shocked. "I'm a sentry?!"

"Sergeant Wang, you're not kidding, are you?"

I, Qi, am not a real soldier.
