Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 198: Injured during filming, treating Yang Mi's wounds.
The next morning.

Qi Hui, dressed in camouflage training uniform, returned from outside the hotel, panting heavily and covered in sweat.

It wasn't summer, and the weather wasn't too hot, but even so, Qi Hui was covered in sweat.

Nothing else, I just ran five kilometers.

Qi Hui had gotten used to this kind of daily routine. His body would automatically wake up at the appointed time, and he didn't even need to set an alarm clock.

The elevator doors opened, and Qi Hui had just stepped inside when he noticed Chen Kun slowly walking out.

"Huh...you went to exercise?" Chen Kun was a little surprised to see Qi Hui covered in sweat. What kind of exercise could make him so tired?

"Yes, I just finished running five kilometers." Qi Hui nodded: "Does Teacher Chen also go for early morning exercise?"

"Hmm, let's practice Tai Chi," Chen Kun said, inwardly sighing, "It's so good to be young."

He couldn't run five kilometers now.

In fact, he hadn't run five kilometers much before.

After a brief chat, Qi Hui took the elevator.

He needed to go back and take a shower, otherwise he wouldn't be able to put on makeup while covered in sweat.

However, just as the elevator reached the 5th floor, Yang Mi walked in and looked at Qi Hui in surprise.

The male and female crew members were not assigned to the same floor... In fact, no one dared to put them together, as it was easy for something to happen.

No matter what kind of matter it is, it's prone to problems.

Qi Hui's room was on the same floor as Chen Kun's, on the tenth floor. The actress's room was on the fifth floor, which was more convenient for her.

"You've... come back from exercising?" Yang Mi asked in surprise. As soon as she entered the elevator, a strong masculine scent and smell of sweat hit her.

It made her feel a little... well, a little awkward.

It was quite a shock to her so early in the morning.

"Uh... cough, yeah." Qi Hui subconsciously replied with a phrase that resembled Jing Tian's verbal tic, then quickly corrected himself after realizing what he meant.

Being too relaxed isn't a good thing either.

"Oh..." Yang Mi nodded and stopped talking.

Qi Hui had no intention of chatting and continued playing on his phone.

Soon, they arrived at the tenth floor. Qi Hui waved and left, and Yang Mi gritted her teeth and pressed the elevator button to leave as well.

Bah, what a spineless man!
……

Eight o'clock in the morning, at the filming location of Yixiantian.

According to the plan, both Qi Hui and Chen Kun were originally supposed to put on makeup.

However, the makeup for Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, and Yang Mi was very troublesome, so all the staff went over there to help.

Wuershan underestimated the number of makeup artists, resulting in some tasks not being completed.

Therefore, Qi Hui and Chen Kun will have to bear with it for now.

The producer was calling Huayi Brothers to request personnel while simultaneously communicating with Wuershan.

This is Wuershan's first time filming a big-budget production with an investment of over 100 million yuan, so it's not surprising that some problems arose.

As long as it's not a safety issue, it's fine.

Producer Pang Hong and executive producer Chen Guofu were not too critical of this.

There are always unexpected events when filming.

"Attention, all departments!" the executive director shouted through a megaphone, "Scene 1, Shot 1 of 'Painted Skin 2,' action!"

Snapped!
The script supervisor slammed the clapperboard; all irrelevant personnel had already left the set.
Zhou Xun started running wildly out of the narrow passage.

The photographer moved quickly to his designated spot and took pictures as planned.

This scene takes place a month after Xiaowei breaks the seal, and she goes around seducing people.

It was here that he met the general played by Zhao Wei, and later he met Huo Xin played by Chen Kun.

Chen Kun watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but frown.

Zhou Xun was wearing a light purple silk robe, the style of which was somewhat similar to a kimono.

But the sleeves were extremely wide, almost half the height of Zhou Xun when lifted up.

And what's even more outrageous is that there aren't any pants!

Zhou Xun's legs were bare, with only shoes below her knees.

But there were a bunch of skirts swaying below the knees, looking like they might be stepped on at any moment.

"Who designed this outfit?" Chen Kun couldn't help but exclaim, "It's neither Hanfu nor kimono!"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Xun, who was running, suddenly tripped and fell flat on her face.

She reacted quickly, covering her face with her hands.

But the knees weren't so lucky. With no clothing to cover them, the fall scraped off a piece of skin, and blood immediately started flowing out.

"Quick, doctor!" the producer shouted repeatedly.

Chen Kun and Qi Hui also quickly joined in, and in an instant, a large group of people surrounded Zhou Xun.

The injury isn't serious; it's just a scraped knee. However, according to the announcement and filming schedule, Zhou Xun will have many scenes where she's kneeling.

There are also quite a few dance scenes.

This is... not a huge problem, but it's not insignificant either.

Not far away, Zhao Wei frowned slightly as she watched Zhou Xun surrounded by the crowd, a hint of displeasure rising in her heart.

Especially Chen Kun.

He's my classmate, why is he being so close to Zhou Xun for no reason?
"Director, how were those takes?" Zhou Xun asked, letting the medical staff treat his wounds while he inquired about work-related matters.

"Okay, that's enough." Wuershan nodded and said, "You can take a rest."

"Zhao Wei, get ready to go on stage."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wei did not move, but remained quietly in place.

The next scene is an action scene, a circus scene.

In this scene, only her eyes are visible, as she plays Princess Jing. Naturally, a stunt double performed the circus-style stunts.

All she had to do was strike a few poses and show her face.

However, this action scene turned out to be unexpectedly difficult to film, with problems arising from both the actors and the horses.

And then there's Zhao Wei; her circus moves weren't up to par, and she had to do several takes.

By the time the scene was finished, it was already dark.

Qi Hui and Chen Kun have no chance today.

Seeing this, Wu Ershan took the opportunity to film Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun's night scene under the campfire.

Yang Mi, who plays Que'er, also has a role in this scene.

Perfect timing, I can use the makeup I did today.

However, the night shoot did not go smoothly.

Like Zhou Xun, Yang Mi also scraped her knee.

There's a scene where she's landing, and there was a small accident while she was suspended by wires; she accidentally bumped into something.

After a whole day, we didn't film much, but we used a lot of medical medication.

Under the cover of night, the crew packed up their belongings, while Chen Kun, who had been idle all day, helped Zhou Xun apply medicine.

They are good friends and started working together in 01.

Looking at Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, Yang Mi glanced at Qi Hui with a pitiful expression.

Qi Hui rolled his eyes: "Why are you looking at me? Don't you have hands?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun couldn't help but chuckle; the relationship between the two was rather strange.

It seems that Yang Mi has feelings for Qi Hui, but Qi Hui doesn't have any feelings for Yang Mi.

"Qi Hui, you need to be nicer to girls," Zhou Xun said with a smile. "You'll have a hard time finding a partner if you keep acting like this."

She could tell that Qi Hui and Zhao Wei didn't get along.

Although she didn't know why, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and her feelings towards Qi Hui suddenly became much better.

They even started joking around.

"Let's just forget about it..." Qi Hui glanced at Yang Mi, ignoring her completely.

Jingle bell bell~
Before she could finish speaking, the phone rang. Yang Mi picked it up, glanced at it, and answered it in a gentle voice.

It was her boyfriend, Liu Kaiwei, on the phone.

“Look, now that she doesn’t have any hands, right?” Zhou Xun laughed. “Hurry up and help her.”

Older women are all like this; they like to play matchmaker.

Yang Mi covered the microphone, and Zhou Xun couldn't tell who she was talking to.

Qi Hui's lips twitched. Yang Mi was on the phone with her boyfriend, and I still had to serve her?

“Yeah, aren’t you going to help?” Chen Kun said, “You two are going to be working together soon.”

Qi Hui's eyes darted around, and he picked up the alcohol bottle next to him, sighing softly, "Alright..."

"Let me help you with this. After all, we're classmates."

As he spoke, he unscrewed the bottle and poured the contents onto the wound on her knee.

"Ugh... Oh—!" Yang Mi, who was on the phone, froze, then cried out in pain.
"Hiss hiss hiss—Ah~ Ahhh!"

Hearing the strange cry, Liu Kaiwei on the other end of the phone panicked:

"Mimi, Mimi, what's wrong?!"

Why did this sound suddenly appear?

This sound is very strange!
Thinking of this, Liu Kaiwei on the other end of the phone felt his head go numb and his anxiety grew.

Chen Kun and Zhou Xun were grimacing in pain; it looked like they were in a lot of pain!
Qi Hui, meanwhile, leisurely picked up Yang Mi's phone...
