Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 297 National Class A and Class B Actor, Foreign Language Learning Enthusiast

As summer approaches, the weather gets hotter and the sun becomes increasingly scorching.

But it was under these circumstances that the H7N9 outbreak occurred.

Of course, it wasn't as terrifying as the major epidemic a few years later, nor as severe as SARS a few years ago, and it didn't even have as many cases of hand-foot-mouth disease as a few years ago.

But it also makes people feel somewhat scared and troublesome.

Based on the experience of SARS in 03, most viral outbreaks occur in winter and spring, so why is it reappearing in the summer?

Are viruses not afraid of heat?

The crew, including some behind-the-scenes staff and actors, made requests such as wearing masks when entering and leaving the premises and canceling the consumption of poultry to reduce the risk.

Then...then they realized that the crew's meals didn't seem to include chicken, duck, or goose.

So they all started cheering for the director's brilliant decision.

Qi Hui ignored them and enforced the rule that masks must be worn when entering and leaving the film set.

Meanwhile, they called in people from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, who then thoroughly disinfected the film set.

Seeing the people in white coats spraying medicine from their medical kits and smelling the somewhat pungent odor of disinfectant, the entire crew felt relieved.

My sense of security immediately increased.

Sun Molong and Xiao Yang were a little puzzled. "Wait... how come you're so familiar with these things?"
You weren't that old back then during SARS.

How do you know so much?
Qi Hui didn't explain anything, and the crew continued filming in this safe and secure atmosphere.

Time passed slowly, and the filming progressed steadily.

Film set, detention center
Behind bars, Wang Qiang, playing the bus driver Wang Xingde, comes to collect his personal belongings, accompanied by police officers.

"Come on, sign here."

Wang Xingde signed his name expressionlessly.

He turned around with his belongings, then put on his prison uniform and followed the police away with somewhat heavy steps.

On the way back, we happened to meet two other policemen leading several other guards.

Wang Xingde walked slowly, his sharp gaze falling on a man with a broad face, small eyes, and a plump body. His eyes were deep and his face was cold.

This person was the one who caused the death of his daughter, Wang Mengmeng.

The camera followed Wang Xingde's gaze, lingering on that person for a long time. Finally, Wang Xingde revealed a faint smile.

It's easy to guess what will happen to the culprit next.

"Very good, pass!" Qi Hui shouted, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wang."

Wang Qiang waved his hand, a smile spreading across his face.

Actually, it wasn't that hard work. Among the dramas he acted in, "The Beginning" was relatively easy.

It was even easier than playing Long Baichuan.
The script supervisor clapped the clapperboard, and the cameraman, actors, and lighting technicians all relaxed, creating a more relaxed atmosphere on set.

Qi Hui clapped his hands and shouted, "I hereby declare that filming for 'The Beginning' has officially wrapped!"

"Wuhu!"

"Great!"

"Finally done!"

"..."

As the sound faded, cheers erupted.

Although the play "The Beginning" is very short, it features repetitive scenes.

Not only is it hard and tedious for the actors, but it's also hard and tedious for the filmmakers.

Today we finally wrapped up filming.

Xiao Yang picked up the megaphone and announced to all the members that there would be a farm-style dinner party that evening.

Of course, it's a farmhouse restaurant by the water, mainly serving fish, not chicken, duck, or goose.

That kind of place is less crowded, suitable for fishing, and has a large area that is not restricted by the pandemic or venue, so you can eat and drink to your heart's content.

Sun Molong clapped his hands and called to the photographer, lighting technician, prop master, and sound engineer to tidy up all the equipment.

In fact, these filming devices were exposed to midday sunlight.

Sun Molong, along with the director of photography, production manager, and art director, brought them along with him.

If it weren't for the fact that Daylight Entertainment was filming a pre-production project, they might have brought along the cinematographer and lighting technician as well.

It's perfectly reasonable for the company's chairman to pay the employees' salaries, right?
Qi Hui sat in the chair, smoking a cigarette, a sense of regret rising in his heart.

Originally, Qi Hui wanted to cast Hou Tianlai, Teacher Hou, or President Hou to play the role of the pervert who caused Wang Mengmeng's death.

This is a national first-class and third-class actor, a foreign language enthusiast, and a legal interpreter. He's worked with so many actresses; the number of actresses he's worked with could form a reinforced platoon.

Fan Bingbing, Tao Hong, Han Xue, Qin Hailu, Chen Xiaoyi, Yuan Li, Fu Ying, Pan Jie...

Even Yang Mi is one of Hou's girls.

Mr. Hou's acting range is very narrow, as narrow as a bed.

Unfortunately, President Hou was not interested in Qi Hui's invitation.

First, he didn't like the web series, and second, he didn't like the character either.

This pervert character has a bad image, and not only is his screen time short, but he doesn't even have a single line.

Even though Qi Hui offered a price higher than the market rate, President Hou remained unmoved.

Unfortunately, Qi Hui could only give up with regret.

Sigh... If President Hou were to join, "The Beginning" would be even more interesting.

Jing Tian sat down next to Qi Hui, pursing her lips, looking somewhat unhappy.

Seeing this, Qi Hui stubbed out his cigarette and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Xiao Heyun is dead," Jing Tian said angrily. "The couple you and I played didn't end up together."

Recalling the scene from a few days ago, Qi Hui collapsed in her arms, bleeding from his mouth and nose, on the verge of death.

Even though she knew it was all an act, fake, Jing Tian was still a little unhappy.

She wanted to see Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun together, to see lovers finally united, even if they were fictional characters.

"Love in movies and TV dramas is more profound only when it's imperfect," Qi Hui said. "For example, 'Titanic' and 'Ghost'."

"The same goes for our performance of 'The Beginning'."

Jing Tian rolled her eyes: "Then why did you film Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun looking so sweet in front of the camera?"

"The sweeter it is at the beginning, the more the audience will cry when Xiao Heyun dies later... Hehehe!" Qi Hui chuckled, his face full of schadenfreude.

Jing Tian was stunned, and the image of the audience seeing Xiao Heyun die in her arms and crying uncontrollably flashed through her mind.

Meanwhile, she was at home, embracing Qi Hui, and watching with a smug satisfaction as they posted their accusations and complaints online.

It seems... to be quite fun.

Jing Tian raised her eyebrows slightly, her mind stirred.

Qi Hui chuckled to himself. Sure enough, no one could resist this temptation: [Keep the happiness to yourself and leave the sadness to the audience].

"What are you laughing at?" Jing Tian snorted. "I don't think like you do, and I haven't been led astray by you."

"Is that so?" Qi Hui coughed lightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered with a smile:

"Who was it last night who said I was easily defeated, and even called himself Astro Boy?"

Jing Tian's face flushed red instantly. She looked around and, finding no one paying attention, breathed a sigh of relief.

"You bastard, are you trying to get yourself killed?" Jing Tian angrily slapped Qi Hui, then clenched her pink fist and threatened him:
"If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll punch you!"

"Hahahaha..." Qi Hui chuckled mischievously.

……

night.

Farmhouse inn, delicious food, fine wine, eat, drink and have fun.

After being suppressed for so long, of course I need to relax.

The crew members ate meat heartily and drank wine from large bowls, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Of course, since there were quite a few women, Qi Hui didn't serve them strong liquor, but instead served them all beer.

In case someone gets drunk and loses their senses, causing trouble.

The closer we get to the later stages, the more careful we need to be about this situation, especially since this place is near the water.
Fortunately, the people present had a good tolerance for alcohol. Although some people got drunk and argued, it was still within a controllable range, and no accidents occurred.

Late at night, Qi Hui led the entire film crew back to the hotel.

Go out with your whole body intact, and come back with your whole body intact. Everything is OK.

In the corner of the elevator, Jing Tian's face was slightly flushed, her temperament elegant yet sweet and charming.

She looked around; it was noisy, and everyone was talking about their own topics.

Jing Tian, ​​feeling playful, leaned close to Qi Hui's ear and whispered:

"Darling, do you dare to whisper here that you love me?"
