Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 295 Okay, Auntie Guo; No problem, Auntie Guo
As the sun's direct rays shift northward, bringing with it the northward movement of the subtropical high, the weather in Xiamen is gradually becoming hot and dry.
Inside the spacious factory, 2650 large LED screens surround a bus.

This is the film set.

Each loop needs to repeat the scenery outside the car window; simply play the corresponding video.

This method can achieve the same environment, scene, characters, and weather.

Everything is under control.

However, it's not all good; having so many LED screens will definitely cost money.

Work started promptly at eight o'clock in the morning.

After finishing her makeup outside the film set, Jing Tian and Qi Hui walked into the film set surrounded by LED screens.

As soon as I entered, the video started playing, and the scenes around the bus began to move.

"Ouch..." Jing Tian stumbled and almost fell.

Qi Hui quickly helped her up; the girl was still a little unaccustomed to it.

The ground beneath my feet was a smooth concrete surface, but the scene before my eyes was one that was constantly receding.

What she saw conflicted with her actual feelings, giving her a sense of disorientation.

I wasn't paying attention and I fainted.

It's like going to the beach and standing on the sand watching the waves come in and go—it's a kind of frame of reference distortion.

Not only Jing Tian, ​​but also Liu Haoran who came in later, and Kan Qingzi who came to watch the show, all stumbled and almost fell.

Helpless, Sun Molong could only shout that the video should be turned off first.

"Good morning, Auntie Guo." Kan Qingzi waved and smiled at Liu Dan.

"Hey, Auntie Guo, you're here?" Liu Haoran waved and greeted her.

Liu Dan felt helpless.

A few days ago, Qi Hui called her "Auntie Guo," and after everyone else heard it, the word spread, and now everyone calls her that.

Not only her, the "pot lady," but also the character played by Ma Lan was called "medicine lady" by Qi Hui.

Once everyone had arrived, Qi Hui checked the time and asked, "Is everyone ready?"

"No problem, director," Liu Dan said.

"Don't worry, director," the medicine woman said with a smile.

The other actors also patted their chests in agreement.

"Okay, let's try to get it in one take." Qi Hui clapped his hands and laughed.

Behind Qi Hui, Sun Molong rolled his eyes.

Today's scene is the one where the male and female leads are killed by Aunt Guo with two stabs.

The female lead suffers the most; she gets grabbed by the hair by Aunt Guo and forced to sit on the back of a seat with a knife.

Originally, this scene could have been filmed yesterday, but Qi Hui felt sorry for Jing Tian and insisted on postponing it until now.

Sun Molong felt a pang of jealousy. It's one thing for you two to show affection in the show, but why are you doing it off-screen too?
This director abused his power for personal gain, and his rewards and punishments were unfair. It should be my place, Mr. Sun, to take over... cough, never mind.

Who made Qi Hui not only a director but also the chairman of the board?
Soon, the actors entered.

Sun Molong looked at the monitor and said, "Attention all departments, all irrelevant personnel, leave the premises."

"Scene 139 of 'The Beginning,' shot one, action!"

The script supervisor claps the clapperboard.

"Where did the USB drive go?" On the bus set, Qi Hui, who was lying on the bus, kept muttering to himself.

We quickly arrived at Aunt Guo's location.

Liu Dan was dressed in a gray suit, expressionless, with a pressure cooker in a red plastic bag placed between his legs.

That's how "Guo Yi" (锅姨, meaning "Auntie Pot") came about.

"Excuse me, you..." Qi Hui said, then suddenly reached out to grab the pressure cooker.

Liu Dan clamped the pressure cooker between his feet and struggled incessantly.

Jing Tian, ​​who plays Li Shiqing, quickly came over to help, and soon it turned into Qi Hui carrying Liu Dan while Li Shiqing staggered away, pulling the pressure cooker.

too heavy!
Weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms, Li Shiqing, a college student, couldn't lift it in time.

"Very good, pass!" Sun Molong shouted, "Everyone, stay put."

"Auntie Guo... cough, Liu Dan, prepare to kill someone."

Liu Dan, his face tense, released Qi Hui and said, "Give me some time to adjust."

Sun Molong's earlier use of the word "Auntie Pot" almost caused her to break down.

She took out a prop and held it in her hand; it was a dagger made from a metal ruler.

It's actually the kind of teaching aid ruler that teachers use in class; some are made of wood, and some are made of iron.

This thing is very much in line with Tao Yinghong's identity as a high school chemistry teacher.

In the original story, the murder weapon was also a dagger like this.

I wonder if anyone noticed this detail while watching the show.

After a simple adjustment, Liu Dan's tense expression slowly became numb and expressionless.

"Alright, actors back in position!" Sun Molong shouted.
"Scene 139 of 'The Beginning,' second shot, first action!"

Snapped!
The clapperboard clapperboard struck. "Go! Go!" Qi Hui shouted, instantly getting into character.

Unable to win the fight, Liu Dan's expression hardened, and he sharpened a dagger from his pocket, plunging it into Qi Hui's left rib...the blood pack.

We did a rehearsal yesterday, and Liu Dan was very skilled.

"Open the door, Uncle!" Jing Tian, ​​who plays Li Shiqing, shouted, struggling to hold the pressure cooker in her arms, as if she wanted to drop it off the car.

But then, Tao Yinghong arrived.

He grabbed the back of her neck and hair, dragged her back, pressed her into a chair, and stabbed her with the dagger.

His expression was cold and numb, completely devoid of emotion.

Jing Tian opened her mouth, covered the wound on her neck, her lips trembled, her body trembled, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

“Okay… um, pass.” Sun Molong’s voice rang out at the right time.

Jing Tian breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up, and put down the blood bag in her hand.

But Liu Dan looked at Qi Hui and Sun Molong. He seemed hesitant when he said that. Could it be that he didn't act well?

Qi Hui walked behind the monitor and replayed the scene from earlier.

I found that Jing Tian acted very well; she portrayed the despair, suffocation, and trembling of someone on the verge of death perfectly.

"Old Sun, what's your idea?" Like Liu Dan, Qi Hui also noticed that Sun Molong seemed hesitant when he spoke.

However, no one made any mistakes in this scene; everyone acted quite well.

Yesterday's early wrap-up wasn't for nothing; it gave me time to reflect on my character, and today's first take was excellent.

Sun Molong thought for a moment, then clicked on the replay, showing the scene where Liu Dan had just stabbed someone, and said:

"Director, I think... Teacher Liu did a great job, but I feel it's still a little bit lacking."

"I thought you meant Jing Tian."

"No, she acted very well," Sun Molong said.

"I would say that everyone acted very well, but I think Teacher Liu was still a little lacking."

Qi Hui clicked play and pondered for a moment.

"Is something wrong?" Liu Dan asked as he approached the two men from behind.

“No.” Sun Molong quickly waved his hand: “It’s… how should I put it? When you kill someone, there’s not enough of that cold feeling. You give people more of a numb and indifferent feeling.”

Liu Dan frowned and pondered for a long time, but he had no clue.

“Old Sun is right.” Qi Hui thought for a moment and said, “You didn’t show any murderous intent towards those who tried to stop you.”

"That last scene was more about killing for the sake of killing, like cutting up pork, rather than killing to detonate a bomb."

"Oh...I understand!" Liu Dan suddenly realized that she knew where the problem lay.

Yesterday, because Qi Hui paid too much attention to this scene, she focused too much on the killing aspect and neglected the overall emotion of the scene.

Some people are blinded by a single leaf.

Upon realizing this, Liu Dan had a sudden realization.

But there's a problem: how is she supposed to portray that murderous aura?

Liu Dan asked Qi Hui and Sun Molong her question.

Qi Hui thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you play Li Shiqing and I'll play Tao Yinghong, you get a feel for it."

"How about I do it?" Jing Tian volunteered, "Let Teacher Liu observe from the side."

"No way!" Qi Hui refused without even thinking, afraid that the girl would be traumatized.

"Come here, Teacher Liu," Qi Hui called out.

Jing Tian puffed out her pink cheeks, looking a little unhappy.

"Alright," Liu Dan nodded.

Seeing this, the other actors stepped aside, making room for Qi Hui and Liu Dan.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Liu Dan turned around, and like Jing Tian, ​​wanted to run out of the car through the front door.

But the next second, a hand like an iron clamp came from behind and grabbed the back of her neck, causing her neck to throb with pain.

A powerful force dragged her down and pressed her into the seat.

Qi Hui remained expressionless as he slowly raised the dagger in his hand.

"You...no..." Meeting Qi Hui's eyes, Liu Dan felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet. The cold sensation made her hands and feet numb and icy.

aside.

Jing Tian watched this scene, and seeing Qi Hui's expressionless face, her heart stirred.

In a daze, she remembered her time in Shenzhen, on the set of "Ultimate Decoding".

Qi Hui had the same expression when Zhen Zidan was mentioned.

She didn't quite understand at first, but now she knows what Qi Hui was thinking back then.

No wonder he was so ruthless back then... Jing Tian's heart stirred slightly, and he understood everything.

Thinking back to Qi Hui's rejection earlier, she felt a sweet sensation.
