Chapter 202 Descendants of Genghis Khan, Yearning for Glory
According to Wu Ershan's idea, Qi Hui should go to him.

We should ask him to solve this problem.

At that time, he could "design" the character image of Qi Hui in public.

It creates an image of repaying evil with good.

In that situation, we'd exchange a few words, and he'd apologize, saying he was too busy and forgot.

Since I've already said it once, I don't mind doing it a second time.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qi Hui will definitely have to apologize to him once, and then a so-called "reconciliation" can be achieved.

During the subsequent filming, he used his position as director to boss Qi Hui around and order him around.

In less than two or three days, his lost authority will return.

Then we'll see who looks down on him. Even Qi Hui is like this, what can you possibly do?
however……

The plan didn't go smoothly from the start!
Qi Hui didn't go to him as he had planned at all; instead, he did his own makeup and appearance.

Ironically, he actually fits the character of Pang Lang quite well.

At such a sensitive time, he could no longer have any opinions about Qi Hui, otherwise he would be considered to lack tolerance.

Otherwise, it will be seen as retaliation, or being given the cold shoulder.

"Is there something wrong, director?" Qi Hui asked calmly, meeting Wu Ershan's gaze.

“…No!” Wuershan took a deep breath and said slowly.

With so many people watching, he couldn't very well say that he hadn't designed a new image for Qi Hui, could he?

The producer probably wouldn't let him off the hook!
Qi Hui glanced at the Wuershan with interest, his gaze somewhat amused.

He had anticipated that the eel would break its teeth and swallow the food whole.

Unfortunately, Wu Ershan wasn't thick-skinned enough, otherwise he would have directly said that Qi's current image was designed by himself, the director.

Of course, it's also possible that the eel's blood pressure rose due to anger, causing it to overlook the incident.

"Alright, everyone, get ready to film!" Wu Ershan shouted through a megaphone.

Upon hearing this, the assistant directors became somewhat listless and scattered.

But then, the producer walked over from a distance and sat down in the director's tent.

Now, no one dared to be lazy anymore, and their hands and feet became quick and efficient.

Soon, all irrelevant personnel left the set, and preparations were complete.

The executive director took the megaphone and shouted loudly, "Scene 7, Shot 1 of 'Painted Skin 2,' action!"

The script supervisor slammed the clapperboard, and several cameras began to move slowly.

This scene was filmed after Princess Jing brought Xiao Wei back to Baicheng.

The main purpose is to showcase the local customs and culture of Baicheng, introduce the character Pang Lang played by Qi Hui, and refine the concept of demons.

The robotic arm carried the photographer, scanning over the city gate and the "bustling" streets of the desert border town.

Soldiers march in formation, woodcutters carry stacks of firewood, and merchants pull donkey carts by...

Life is full of countless phenomena, too numerous to mention.

"Very good, passed!" shouted the executive director.

These group shots, unless there are major errors, are usually filmed in one take.

"Next shot, Qi Hui, get ready!"

Qi Hui, who was ready, entered the film set, and an assistant director also brought five child actors.

Under the direction of the assistant director, the five children stood in their positions, and everything was ready.

"Very good, 3, 2, 1, action!"

Qi Hui sat in his chair with a solemn expression, his gaze slightly lowered as he slowly swept over the five child actors.

Seeing Qi Hui's expression, the five of them were instantly frightened into silence, obediently standing still.

“A demon! She looks like a human and speaks human language. Even if she stood right in front of you, you wouldn’t be able to tell her identity,” Qi Hui slowly recited.

His voice was deep and rhythmic, as if he were telling a story.

The five children, who were initially somewhat intimidated, were suddenly drawn into Qi Hui's rhythm and listened attentively to his words.

"Demons are masters at bewitching people, making them do whatever they're told."

"You think you're doing this willingly? Actually, you've been bewitched by its sorcery, you're under its spell~~~"

The scene, which was originally somewhat serious and formal, became more and more relaxed as Qi Hui delivered his lines.

It started by explaining the premise, but later it became more like entertaining children. Finally, the scene showed a "Demon-Seeking Bottle" in the hands of the character Pang Lang, setting the stage for later plot developments.

In the director's tent.

As Wu Ershan watched Qi Hui on the monitor, his face grew increasingly grim, and his mood worsened.

He acted very well, very well!
He immediately got the five young actors into the rhythm.

The initial solemnity and gravity transformed into a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, all thanks to Qi Hui's leadership.

If you tell the children to be quiet, they will be quiet; if you tell them to laugh, they will laugh.

This level of acting skill is probably comparable to that of actors of Zhou Xun and Chen Kun's caliber, isn't it?

Pang Hong stroked his chin, becoming more and more shocked as he looked.

To be honest, he didn't expect Qi Hui to act to this extent.

The reason we initially chose the actor Qi Hui was because he was very popular and generated a lot of buzz.

They would be extremely suitable as supporting characters for Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and others.

But now, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that his understanding of the character is very clear, and even extremely consistent with the central theme of the movie "Painted Skin 2".

People are always two-faced; everyone wears a mask.

Pang Lang, the demon hunter, looks very powerful, unruly, and well-equipped, but in reality, he is a bookworm.

He seems to know a lot about demons and is knowledgeable about everything, but in reality, he's a complete novice who has never caught a single demon.

This is the contrast in the character of Pang Lang.

As the movie "Painted Skin" says, everyone wears a layer of skin, and what you see is not the same as what you actually see.

I must say, Qi Hui's acting was quite good.

His outfit is also very nice.

……

In the evening, all the members of the crew had smiles on their faces and were in a good mood.

Unlike the previous days, today's work went smoothly, and I'll be able to leave work soon.

Qi Hui packed his things, putting away all the bottles and jars hanging on his body.

Wearing these things on your body is quite tiring.

But then, Wuershan rode over on a horse, with two bows and arrows hanging on it.

"Qi Hui, your martial arts skills are quite good. How about trying your horsemanship?" Wu Ershan said slowly, looking down at him.

The voice wasn't very loud, but it immediately attracted the attention of those around them.

Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face.

The swamp eel's smile remained unchanged as it watched quietly.

He wanted to see if Qi Hui would accept the offer, after all, even Zhao Wei, a woman, could ride a horse, but this special forces soldier couldn't.

If Qi Hui accepts, it will be just like a match.

He was born in Guihua, a Mongolian, and loved riding horses and archery from a young age.

Of course, not all Mongolians can do this, but he is different. He is a descendant of Genghis Khan and his heart is set on the glory of his ancestors.

It is incomparable to the garbage and waste that are indulging in the convenience of modern life.

"Sure," Qi Hui laughed. "I was just thinking of riding a horse too."

He obtained the [Equestrian Proficiency] skill from Chen Kun, which he hadn't used yet, so he decided to give it a try.

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Wuershan's eyes. He actually knew how to ride a horse?
Immediately, Wuershan dismounted and threw out a bow and arrows: "How about this?"

"How about we try horseback riding and archery?"

"No problem!" Qi Hui smiled and readily agreed.

Although I don't know what Wuershan is up to, I can guess that it's nothing more than the loss of his prestige.

But... our instructor taught us one thing:

You do your thing, I'll do mine!
From the moment Wu Ershan gave him the Hanfu with the left-fastening closure, his relationship with Wu Ershan was no longer a simple one of director and actor.

Some things cannot be done with such elegance and composure as hosting a dinner party, writing an article, painting, or embroidering.

Some things require bloodshed and are full of violence!
