Chapter 388 Jing Tian: Working out? I'll help you!

"That will test both acting skills and the plot," Qi Hui replied to Jing Tian's question.

Have you seen an old movie called "Witness for the Prosecution"?

"The movie is similar to our script. It's about a woman who dies, and the male protagonist, who is her lover, is the prime suspect. He even inherits a large sum of money from the deceased woman."

"However, through his performance, this man gradually dispelled the audience's doubts, improved his image and persona, and made the audience trust him again."

"When his true colors were revealed at the end, everyone was shocked."

"Both the lawyer on screen and the audience off screen were shocked by his disguise and terrified by his methods."

At this point, Qi Hui paused:

"The so-called suspense is a psychological feeling that a movie brings to the audience."

"Including emotions such as fear, shock, and tension, as well as the pleasure after being tormented by the movie plot."

The example of "Prosecution Witness" is not concrete enough.

This is a 1957 film, and it's a foreign film, so many people haven't seen it.

Let's take a very familiar example: Zhao Dehan from "In the Name of the People"!
When Hou Liangping arrived at Zhao Dehan with a search warrant and a large group of men, almost all viewers knew that Zhao Dehan had embezzled funds.

He can't escape now.

How could the authorities issue a search warrant without solid evidence?

Hou Liangping's superior is the Supreme People's Procuratorate!

However, Hou Yong's portrayal of Zhao Dehan relied solely on acting skills, even in the old house and his office.

Through a series of performances, the audience was shaken and became hesitant.

A bite of noodles and a clove of garlic—you call that a corrupt official?

Is this honest and law-abiding farmer really a corrupt official?

It doesn't look like it at all.
Until the luxury villa, until the refrigerator was full of banknotes, until the banknotes covering an entire wall were revealed.

The audience was shocked by this huge reversal.

The more upright and honest Hou Yong's character was in the beginning, the more shocking the fall of Zhao Dehan would be.

The famous scene of "I didn't spend a single penny" is still talked about with great interest.

The same principle applies to "The Vanished Woman".

As a gambler, every word He Fei utters is met with suspicion and disbelief.

This requires Qi to use his acting skills to make the audience outside the play believe in He Fei again, and to make Shen Man in the play believe in He Fei again.

The more the audience believes that He Fei, this gambler, has truly reformed, the greater their anger towards him and the shock they will feel when he murders his wife for money.

After listening to Qi Hui's explanation, Jing Tian seemed thoughtful, but also somewhat worried: "Wouldn't that place a very high demand on your acting skills?"

Qi Hui shrugged: "Suspense films are all like that."

The original movie was very exciting, with car chases, pursuits, gunfights, and falling off cliffs; it looked incredibly lively.

This is almost like an action movie; it doesn't resemble a suspense film at all.

Chen Sicheng may have overlooked one thing: the core of a suspense film lies in the human heart, not in external sensory stimulation.

Suspense films are the best genre for leveraging low budgets to generate high returns.

The original version, with its lively and bustling atmosphere, hardly qualifies as a suspense film.

Of course, although the original version did not receive good reviews, its commercial success was undeniable.

This is undeniable.
Qi Hui held Jing Tian's hand as they strolled along the embankment and beach, chatting about the movie.

Time always seems to fly by when you're with someone you love.

When Qi Hui and Jing Tian snapped out of their reverie, they realized it was already getting dark.

"Let's go back to the hotel and have a seafood feast," Qi Hui said with a smile.

“Hmm~” Jing Tian laughed, “I wonder if Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang caught any fish… Well, let’s not think about it.”

It's better to hope the fish jump into the fish basket on its own than to expect the angler to catch it.

"Hahaha..." Qi Hui laughed upon hearing this.

Watching my buddies catch fish is more fun than catching them myself.

Back at the hotel, unsurprisingly, both Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang failed to score.

Qi Hui felt deeply sympathetic, his face contorted with grief, and with a heavy heart, he ordered a seafood feast from the hotel. For some reason, the seafood tonight tasted exceptionally sweet and delicious.

Of course, Qi Hui didn't eat much; he planned to go to the gym to work out later.

After filming "Brotherhood of Blades", Qi Hui indulged himself and ate and drank excessively.

Lamb from the northern frontier, fruits from the Lingnan region, seafood from the South China Sea… there’s nothing that Mr. Qi won’t eat.

If I don't practice soon, I'll be playing Wolf Warrior with a big belly.

At that point, let alone fighting foreign mercenaries, they'll probably be killed by those drug dealers right at the start of the game.

In the room, Jing Tian was completely bewildered to see Qi Hui packing his things, looking like he was going to exercise.
"Honey, what are you doing?"

"Go to the gym to work out." Qi Hui compared his muscles; the lines weren't as defined as before, he had definitely gained weight.

“Oh, exercise…” Upon hearing this, Jing Tian’s face showed a meaningful expression: “Then you don’t need to go to the gym.”

"Huh?" Qi Hui was puzzled. If he didn't go to the gym, what was he supposed to work out?

"I'll help you," Jing Tian said softly with a smile.

She was very perceptive and, having been with Qi Hui for so long, she could easily tell what he was thinking.

As he spoke, he locked the door from the inside, then quickly walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

Qi Hui was slightly taken aback, not understanding what he meant, but his expression quickly changed, and he secretly cried out that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

crunch~
The bathroom door slowly opened, and Jing Tian, ​​wearing the white shirt he had just changed out of, walked out with a grin.

The slightly damp shirt clung to her skin, highlighting her voluptuous figure.

This is Qi Hui's favorite, round and smooth like a pearl.

Looking down, two long, shapely legs were encased in white suspender stockings, with delicate lace trim peeking out from under the hem of a white shirt.

"Darling?" Jing Tian grabbed him tightly. "Quick, draw the curtains...hehehe~"

Qi Hui: “…”

—For her sake I grow thin and haggard, yet I will not regret loosening my clothes and belt—

a few days later
A corner of the hotel bar.

Tang Yifei and Tang Yixin stared at Jing Tian, ​​feeling increasingly uneasy.

Living in the tropics with strong ultraviolet rays, how come Jing Tian's skin is getting better and better?

Her skin was fair and rosy, like that of an eighteen-year-old girl.

Eighteen-year-old girls can still get acne!

Jing Tian has the skin of an eighteen-year-old girl, but she doesn't have to pay the same price as an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Your husband... has put in a lot of effort for you," Tang Yifei said quietly, taking a sip of her drink.

Girls' conversations can sometimes be much risquér than men's.

After all, when men chat, they tend to veer towards politics.

Female beauty is not that important.

"Hahaha..." Jing Tian touched her face and chuckled dryly, "What are you saying, sister-in-law?"

"I've been working out at the gym with Qi Hui these past few days."

"Can fitness really have this effect?" Tang Yixin, standing to the side, expressed disbelief.

"You can try it with your own spouse too," Jing Tian said casually, trying to brush it off.

"Hmm...that makes sense." Tang Yifei was skeptical, but decided to give it a try.

We can't let Lao Ling go fishing anymore.

"But I don't have any protein powder," Tang Yixin said, spreading her hands. She explained that to work out, you need to control your diet and use protein powder mixed with water to lose fat and tone your body.

They're traveling now, not at home.

“Protein powder…oh, protein powder.” Jing Tian smiled slightly, “Yes, Qi Hui has it too.”

Her Qi Hui (a type of divination) can help her solve all difficulties.
