Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 365 Look, it's urgent again (9th update)
Bang bang bang~
"Teacher Zhao is amazing!" Qi Hui immediately applauded.

"You flatter me," Zhao Wenzhuo said with a smile, clasping his hands in a humble manner.
"Plagiarizing others is nothing to brag about; you're the real expert!"

"Not at all, I was just repeating what others have said. Teacher Zhao, you flatter me." Qi Hui laughed and said repeatedly.
"Hahaha!" Lu Yang exclaimed excitedly, slapping his thigh. "It's all set!"

That's all set!

His movie "Brotherhood of Blades" is already a hit even before its release!
"Quickly, quickly, export these two video clips!" Lu Yang instructed.

The photographer was equally excited, nodding repeatedly before heading off to work with his camera.

"What the hell?"

The crowd was filled with gasps and disbelief.

You learned it so quickly?
Is it that simple?
Then... wouldn't that mean I could do it too?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang, Lao Ling, and Zhou Yiwei were eager to try and began to rub their hands together.

Immediately, the group ran to the props department and took out all the wooden Miao swords used for training.

Qi Hui is okay, Zhao Wenzhuo is okay, but ignoring me is not okay, right?
Then, the three of them began to recreate the scene on the field.

The result... was naturally less than ideal.

The three of them couldn't even throw their knives up.

Not only could he not throw the knife up, but he couldn't even straighten his leg when he did a spinning back kick.

This is not surprising. Generally, only trained people can do this, such as repeatedly swinging their legs outward and inward.

Although Lao Ling, Xiao Zhang, Zhou Yi, and Wei are actors who have studied physical training, they are not martial arts practitioners, so it's normal that they can't do it.

Soon, the three of them failed one after another, with problems arising in one place or another.

The three, having suffered repeated setbacks, quickly lost interest and reluctantly put down their wooden Miao knives.

Not far away, Lu Yang chuckled; he had just taken a picture of the scene.

With all these images combined, surely no one would say that the senior's kicking knife was fake, right?
Qi Hui wiped his hands and handed the towel back to his assistant: "Old Lu, how was it?"

"Haha... Senior brother, you're amazing!" Lu Yang chuckled awkwardly.

"You," Qi Hui smiled.

"I just finished filming recently and I'm a bit tired of directing. Figure it out yourself, don't come asking me."

"This..." Lu Yang blushed with embarrassment; he had been judging others by his own petty standards.

Qi Hui sighed slightly, with a touch of emotion: "Old Lu, sometimes we should think about it, how good does it have to be to be a good director..."

"I've only been a beginner for a short time, so I need to know my place."

“Senior brother…” Lu Yang looked ashamed. He knew that Qi Hui was telling him that he would not interfere in the film.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again." Qi Hui patted his shoulder:

"Brotherhood of Blades is great. Keep up the good work and keep making it. I'm going home now; I still need to cook."

"Yes... uh, no, you're going home?" Lu Yang had just stood at attention and was shouting slogans when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Go home? Isn't it going back to the hotel?
And what the heck is this cooking?

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" Qi Hui asked in surprise, "Your sister-in-law bought another house in Hengdian."

"I won't be staying at the film crew's hotel anymore, you can cancel my room."

Lu Yang: (╬▔皿▔)
The emotion I felt instantly transformed into intense envy and jealousy!

What a gigolo!

Outrageous!

"Hahahaha..." Looking at Old Lu, who was so envious that his plasmolysis was about to break, Qi Hui laughed heartily, feeling relaxed, and went out laughing.

……

Two days later, filming of "Brotherhood of Blades" officially began.

Like other directors, Lu Yang held a launch ceremony, complete with a pig's head and red cloth, and offered sacrifices to Guan Yu.

Having not seen this scene for a long time, Qi Hui found it rather novel.

The opening ceremonies for the first two dramas were basically mobilization meetings organized by Kong Sheng.

The production team leaders went up to speak, and those in the audience listened attentively and grasped the spirit of their speeches.

And then...and then nothing more.

To be honest, Qi Hui preferred Kong Sheng's method of worshipping Guan Gong with a pig's head and red cloth to the latter.

"Unauthorized personnel, please leave!"

"Attention all departments!" "Power on!"

"record!"

"Shot 1, Scene 7 of 'Brotherhood of Blades,' action!"

The script supervisor claps the clapperboard, filming begins.

In the dim candlelight, on the cramped and narrow earthen house kang, Lu Jianxing, played by Lao Ling, slowly sewed a flying fish robe with needle and thread.

Bit off the thread and gather the troops.

"Come on, Yichuan, give it a try."

"Hey!" Jin Yichuan, played by Xiao Zhang, took the clothes, looked them up and down, and smiled. "Thank you, big brother."

The two looked at each other and smiled, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Amidst this turbulent and chaotic situation, three childrenless and orphaned individuals swore brotherhood, relying on and supporting each other.

"Very good, pass."

"Next shot, Qi Hui, get ready."

Lu Yang shouted loudly, "It's not easy to find actors to play three brothers."

Many of the actors are people you don't know well. If you hastily cast them as brothers, it can easily backfire.

Fortunately, Lao Ling, Ruoyun, and Qi Hui have a good relationship, and this harmonious brotherly relationship is easy to portray.

Lu Yang was actually somewhat relieved; otherwise, finding other actors to partner with Qi Hui, given that he was already confirmed as the lead actor, would have been quite a challenge.

Soon, the next shot was filmed, and Qi Hui's figure slowly appeared outside the gauze window.

He carried a small jar of wine, and on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) were scallions, raw garlic, and a small dish of pig's head meat—these were the three of them's snacks to accompany the wine.

This scene also depicts the three people's dire financial situation.

Being a low-level civil servant is tough!
Outside, they are the imposing and fearsome Imperial Guards.

But in private, they don't even have decent meat dishes to go with their drinks.

"Have you visited Miss Zhou at Nuanxiang Pavilion?" asked Lu Jianxing, played by Lao Ling.

When brothers chat, they naturally pay attention to each other's situation.

Faced with this question, Qi Hui first sighed slightly, then lowered his eyes and remained silent.

In the script, Shen Lian, played by Qi Hui, not only went to see it, but also saw Zhou Miaotong, the young lady, having a secret rendezvous with her lover, Young Master Yan.

The two embraced, pouring out their hearts to each other, expressing their helplessness in the face of circumstances and their love for one another.

Shen Lian, the protagonist, doesn't seem like a good person. On the contrary, he seems like a ruthless scoundrel who steals someone else's love.

Zhou Miaotong and Young Master Yan seem to be a better match.

"Crack!" Lu Yang shouted, "Senior brother, hold back a little."

Qi Hui looked up and then nodded, realizing that he had overdone it.

"Okay, that's fine."

"Come on, the second time, action!"

"..."

……

Many scenes in "Brotherhood of Blades" are filmed at night, which made Jing Tian very unhappy.

Qi Hui doesn't get home until several in the morning, and sometimes he even films all night, his days and nights are completely reversed.

Jing Tian wanted nothing more than to beat Lu Yang up.

That evening, Qi Hui sat in the rest area, panting heavily, sweat pouring out from inside his flying fish suit. He could finally rest.

Action scenes are exhausting, not only physically demanding, but also often involve bumps and bruises.

Qi Hui was alright; his reaction was quick. The others, however, weren't so lucky.

Zhu Dan suffered the most. Not only did she get injured while filming, but she also got injured during training. Every time she would bump her finger, it wasn't serious, but it hurt terribly every time.

Ding dong ding dong~
The phone notifications kept going off, and in the small group chat, Wu Jing was frantically tagging Qi Hui and Guo Fan:

"@Qi Hui @Guo Fan, you two bastards, if you're going to cause trouble, why did you drag me into it?"
