Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 343 Chen Duling: The entire film crew is full of beauties

"Scene 23, Shot 57, First Action!"

The photographer sat on the guide rail and slowly moved the camera to the right.

The blurry camera pans out from behind a red lantern, focusing on vintage cars and vans driving on the road.

On the bustling street, Qi Hui wore a black hat and black sunglasses, with a fake scar on his face and a fake beard.

He leaned against the wooden pillar, looking languid.

The car stopped beside him, and a butler leaned out, looking at Zheng Chaoyang, played by Qi Hui, and said in a low, urgent voice:

"boarding!"

The camera zoomed out to capture a distant view.

Then, holding the camera close to the car window, he took a close-up shot.

"Brother Chaoyang!" Chen Duling's clear and pleasant voice rang out, carrying a hint of joy and excitement.

Just as Qi Hui was about to get into the car, he showed a hint of surprise and turned to ask:

"Why is she here?"

"The young lady boarded the car secretly on her own."

"Stop talking nonsense and go home!" Qi Hui waved his hand, ready to shoo them away.

But Chen Duling, who plays Xian Yi, looks anxious and reaches out to pull Zheng Chaoyang, who plays Qi Hui, into the car.

Zheng Chaoyang looked at her with some confusion, but Xian Yi held his hand tightly, a look of anxiety on her face.

He said nothing, yet he said everything.

A serious look appeared in Zheng Chaoyang's eyes behind his sunglasses.

But he didn't say anything either, and slammed the car door shut.

"drive!"

"Okay, cut!" Kong Sheng shouted. "Next shot, get ready."

The assistant director waved his hand, indicating that everything was ready.

The next shot has no dialogue and is short.

"Scene 23, Shot 58, First Action!"

The car started and drove somewhat shakily towards Xizhimen. Inside the car, Xian Yi looked worried as she turned her head to look at Zheng Chaoyang.

Qi Hui, who plays Zheng Chaoyang, sensed her gaze and subconsciously turned to the side, but lowered his eyes and did not look at Xian Yi.

After a moment, Zheng Chaoyang looked away, his expression calm, and stared straight ahead.

As they passed Xizhimen, the guards checked his identification, then glanced into the car and saw Qi Hui with a calm expression, and Xian Yi leaning against his shoulder like a rabbit.

"Let go!"

"Very good, pass." Kong Sheng looked at the monitor and shouted.

To be honest, he was a little surprised.

The scene was relatively simple, so it's normal that Qi Hui nailed it in one take; he's an experienced actor.

It's somewhat surprising that Chen Duling was able to get it right in one take, considering she's a science and engineering student with no prior acting experience.

Director's Studio

Jing Tian crossed her arms and looked at Chen Duling, who was perched on Qi Hui's shoulder like a kitten, on the monitor. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Tang Yifei, standing to the side, observed Jing Tian's expression with great interest and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Is your sister-in-law jealous?

Is she jealous?

However, to be fair, Chen Duling is indeed quite pretty.

Her pure and beautiful face, combined with that cheongsam, gives her the air of a sophisticated lady from a prominent family during the Republic of China era.

Fortunately, Lao Ling didn't have that kind of role, otherwise she would have been the one who was sad.

……

At lunchtime, the actors gathered in small groups to chat about their work that day.

The filming of "Glorious Times" was divided into Group A and Group B. Group A was responsible for the main storyline, which is the plot related to the protagonist Zheng Chaoyang and the female lead Bai Ling.

Group B filmed scenes from side storylines, laying the groundwork for the main plot and adding relevant information.

Group B is mainly being monitored by Sun Molong.

Two film crews shot in parallel, shortening the shooting time.
He was one of the best students of Confucius and had also served as Qi Hui's deputy, so he was quite experienced.

However... when Kong Sheng mentioned Sun Molong, he seemed to feel a bit disgusted and helpless, as if he felt that Sun Molong hadn't done a good enough job.

Regarding this, Qi Hui immediately recalled Yuan Lao's interview.

When the host talked about his students and praised them as elites, Mr. Yuan remained silent for a long time before scratching his head.

It seems that even the best students are no good in the eyes of their teachers. "How are you feeling today?" Chen Yao asked Chen Duling, holding a bowl of rice.

The two of them were the only newcomers in the entire crew, and since they were of similar age, one a freshman and the other a sophomore, they quickly hit it off.

"Thankfully, there were no mistakes." Chen Duling said with a slight frown.

"You're pretty amazing," Chen Yao said in surprise. Her scene today involved washing clothes, doing housework, and chatting with "Qi Lala."

The scenes were all very simple, but she had never used a washboard to wash clothes before, so she was a bit clumsy and had to do one or two takes.

The character she's currently playing works at a charity brothel run by Xian Yi's family. She's only recently escaped the brothel thanks to Qi Lala and Zheng Chaoyang.

"It's alright..." Chen Duling said absentmindedly while eating.

how to say?

Before joining the film crew, she felt okay, thinking that although she wasn't very pretty, she was still quite good-looking.

She was the school beauty from childhood to adulthood, and even in college, she defeated the former champion, Zhang Zetian, in a beauty pageant.

However, after joining the production team and the TV series began filming, her confidence suffered a significant blow.

Chen Yao is very beautiful, Tang Yifei, who plays a housewife, is very beautiful, and Jing Tian is also very beautiful.

There were even actresses playing hospital head nurses and brothel madams, and they were all very beautiful.

Chen Duling inquired and learned that the actress who played the head nurse of the hospital had played the sixth fairy in the childhood mythological drama "Happy Seven Fairies".

The actress who played the brothel madam also played the nine-headed pheasant spirit in "Investiture of the Gods".

She's the demon who seduced King Zhou, along with the nine-tailed fox spirit played by Fan Bingbing.

It can be said that everyone in the crew, regardless of the size of the female role, was very beautiful.

I don't know where the director found so many beautiful women.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Yao asked, puzzled.

"Uh..." Chen Duling snapped out of her daze, thought for a moment, and then gave a vague answer:
"I'm wondering, what kind of person has calluses on their thumb and index finger?"

"It's strange that there are calluses on these two spots, especially on both hands."

It's not so bad if it's just the left hand; people who like playing billiards often have calluses on their left hand. But it's quite different with both hands.

"Huh?" Chen Yao asked in surprise, "Does our crew have such strange calluses?"

"Yes, our director is one." Chen Duling said, referring to a scene from the previous film where she was holding Qi Hui's hand.

At that time, she felt that the location of the callus was a bit strange, just like those gunmen mentioned on TV.

"Uh...?" Chen Yao's face froze for a moment. She and Chen Duling exchanged a glance, both subconsciously thinking of professional assassins or mercenaries.

Aside from these people, no one else has calluses on their hands and fingers.

Jing Tian and Tang Yifei also brought over their bowls; they had been listening from a short distance away for a while.

The two girls' talk got more and more outrageous.

"Don't overthink it," Jing Tian said irritably.
"Qi Hui developed calluses during his military training and when he was abroad, he often went to the shooting range to play with guns."

"Haha... Hello, Sister Jing and Sister Tang."

"Haha, hello to my two senior sisters."

Chen Duling and Chen Yao looked embarrassed; they felt bad that they had been overheard talking badly about each other behind their backs.

"Hey, Senior Sister," Chen Yao asked in a low voice with a look of curiosity, "How do you know so much about Senior Brother Qi?"

What's your relationship with your senior brother?

Jing Tian tapped her on the head: "Whatever relationship you say it is, it is."

Chen Yao shrank back, not daring to speak again.

Upon seeing this, Chen Duling laughed twice.

……

After the break, filming resumed in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Group A's scenes consisted of gunfights and explosions.

However, Chen Duling did have one or two shots.

It was almost time, and Kong Sheng directed everyone to take their positions, ready to begin filming.

The explosives and other equipment were already set up while the other actors were having their meals.

At this moment, the stagehand ran over and whispered something in Qi Hui's ear.

"Huh? Lu Yang came to visit the set?" Qi Hui asked in surprise, "Why didn't he call me?"

"Let's ignore him for now and finish filming first."

Qi Hui waved his hand and said, then strode into the film set.

The assistant ran over with his phone, about to speak, but Qi Hui had already gotten up and gone into the dressing room.

"Uh..." The assistant scratched his head, stammering.
