Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 397, "The Glorious Era," the final chapter.
Of course, it's just a thought.

How could Qi Hui dare?
He's not even a department head; he's just an actor.
Why would an actor need a sniper rifle?
How can this be allowed?

Wu Jing beckoned the foreigners to the film set.

We've rested enough; it's time to continue filming.

Then, Wu Jing discovered that these foreign actors were much more obedient than before.

At first, these foreigners were very unruly and arrogant, and he couldn't even command them.

Then, the sergeants from the Southeast Military Region took action. After a demonstration, the foreigners became somewhat more subdued.

However, these people never learn from their mistakes.

It's only been a few days, but his carefree personality has resurfaced. One minute he says he wants to go to a bar, the next he says he wants to eat grilled steak.

Wu Jing had originally planned to have the officers conduct another martial arts exercise.

Or you could practice with the film crew, just as a form of exercise.

But unexpectedly, Qi Hui's actions actually solved the problem for him.

These foreigners are truly intimidated by power but lack any sense of gratitude.
“Hey, Wu,” Scott Adkins approached, asking curiously:

"Is that Qi a superstar? You all seem to respect and fear him a lot."

“He’s the boss.” Wu Jing glanced at him and said, “He’s the one who invested in our film.”

"Furthermore, I have no fear of him, only respect."

"You don't know, my country's south has just experienced a Category 5 hurricane, which caused great damage."

"He and our army were doing disaster relief in the south a few days ago."

“What?” Scott Adkins looked shocked.

Not only him, but all ten foreigners looked on incredulously.

Go with the army to help with disaster relief?
fuck!

That guy was actually a soldier?
This movie actually cast an active-duty soldier in the role?

The foreigners' heads were buzzing, and images of armored vehicles and tanks rumbling into the city flashed through their minds.

Above, squads of soldiers, armed with guns, occupied the entire city...

Wu Jing looked at them with some confusion. Why were they so shocked? Damn, were they thinking something else?
A sudden thought flashed through Wu Jing's mind, and he immediately remembered a topic that Qi Hui had once discussed with him.

American-style disaster relief, and US military disaster relief!
The US military is not the People's Liberation Army; they don't go to disaster relief with rescue equipment.

They were carrying rifles!
Unlike the People's Liberation Army, which protects the safety of people and property, the U.S. military uses violent means to maintain social order and stability during disaster relief.

Considering the daily gun battles of the free American people, the U.S. military entering the disaster relief effort would certainly be fully equipped with rifles.

The vehicle sitting beneath it must be an armored vehicle.

Otherwise, how would they deal with those vagrants and outlaws who were full of martial spirit but had nothing?
On Earth, only the People's Liberation Army is truly the people's own army; other armies can only be considered the henchmen of capitalists.

Having figured this out, Wu Jing looked at the foreigners with a hint of amusement.

However, he did not explain.

That's good. Isn't it about being afraid of power but not appreciating virtue?

Then let's continue to be fearful, so we don't become so lax and demanding every day.

It's not too late to explain after filming is finished.

the other side

Qi Hui was unaware of Wu Jing's ulterior motives; he was discussing bayonet fighting techniques with the other officers.

As they were talking, they decided to put on protective gear and put on a real-world test.

You know what, the stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

By drawing inferences from similar cases, Qi Hui also learned a lot of new things.

Each person has a unique understanding of bayonet fighting, and these individuals are all active-duty officers working on the front lines.

He has extensive experience in both combat and teaching; he is skilled in both fighting and teaching, and easy to communicate with.

As for the tactical maneuvers Wu Jing requested... you can get a feel for them, there's no need to take them too seriously.

……

Two days later, Qi Hui officially began filming.

Due to the initial delays, the filming schedule has been modified to some extent.

Currently, the main focus is on filming scenes involving the villainous foreign mercenaries. With Qi Hui joining, he will naturally also be filming scenes related to these mercenaries. Wu Jing's idea is to get these foreigners to finish filming as soon as possible; if they stay here too long, who knows what trouble they might cause.

Qi Hui agreed with this idea; the film set was actually a military area.

Although the film crew was allowed to shoot, it wouldn't be right for these foreigners to stay for too long.

We'll keep filming like this, let the foreigners finish their scenes first, and then go back to film the other scenes.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

In the forest, Qi Hui, dressed in tactical gear, carried an 88 sniper rifle and moved quickly, occasionally raising his scope to scout ahead, his movements swift and agile.

Soon, with a muffled groan, the 88 sniper rifle was flung away, and the person was thrown behind the earthen embankment.

"Live ammunition?" His expression changed drastically, and he immediately pressed the radio button and shouted, "Attention everyone, live ammunition!"

"This is not a drill!"

Next, he pulled out a smoke grenade, pulled it up, and threw it.

At the same time, he threw off his backpack and began to flank the direction from which the bullets had come.

The guns he carried were all made of wax bullets used in drills; their range and lethality would be negligible in the face of live ammunition.

You must get close to the enemy to have a chance to kill them.

In this situation, preserving your life and then seeking help is the most correct choice.

But Qi Hui's portrayal of Leng Feng is different; he is a sniper responsible for perimeter reconnaissance and guard duty.

He had four other comrades who were in another location when a landmine exploded.

Soon, as Qi Hui moved, the enemy snipers were repositioned.

Also a sniper, Leng Feng, played by Qi Hui, pinpointed the enemy's location the moment they fired.

The more shots a sniper fires, the more they expose themselves.

……

Under the direction of director Wu Jing, the scene proceeded smoothly.

With ample funding, and thanks to Qi Hui's request to revise the script and remove the romance subplot, the script was successfully completed.

Wu Jing was able to focus more on depicting the battle scenes, and at Qi Hui's request, Leng Feng's sniper character was perfected.

Unlike the original story, where the sniper suddenly becomes an assault soldier during the fighting.

Before transmigrating, when reading the original novel and reaching the part about surrounding the wounded and attacking reinforcements, Qi Hui thought he would see a duel between snipers.

Unexpectedly, the protagonist, Leng Feng, only shouted, "Where is the sniper? Where is our sniper?" and then it was all over after seeing the sniper wounded.

Isn't the sniper Leng Feng?

The sniper rifle is right there, isn't it?
You should at least pick it up and snipe at the other side!

When they were working on the script, Lu Yang said that there was a problem with Wu Jing's scene of surrounding the wounded and attacking the reinforcements.

However, Lu Yang was referring to issues related to weapons.

Looking back a while later, I realized that not only were there problems with the weapons, but the character designs were also flawed.

Leng Feng's sniper persona is completely gone.

This won't do. Such inconsistency would be a major problem for character development.

Therefore, Qi Hui asked Wu Jing to change his character design.

If the character isn't properly established, the performance simply can't continue.

Around noon, the scene was finally filmed, and Qi Hui and the other actors, along with several foreign actors, were all covered in sweat.

It's currently the hottest time of the year, and Nanjing is known as one of the three "furnaces" of China; it's unbearably hot.

Qi Hui suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for Hainan Province.

Although it is located in the tropics and at the southernmost point, Nanjing in the north is much hotter than Hainan Province in the south!
Wu Jing quickly asked the stagehands to bring up fans and ice.

If it's heatstroke, that would be troublesome, and it could drag on for several more days.

That's a waste of money!

Qi Hui blew in the cold wind to cool himself down; it was too hot.

It took a long time for him to recover.

He took out his phone to browse, and was somewhat surprised to find that "Glorious Times" had already finished airing.

He's been very busy lately, and there was a power outage and internet disruption for several days, so I haven't noticed.
