Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 399 Gao Yuanyuan's Invitation (First Update)
“Hey!” Scott Adkins greeted Qi Hui in broken Mandarin.

In the next scene, the two of them will have a scene together, or rather, a fight scene.

Hey~
[The host has contacted actor Scott Adkins and gained a chance to win a prize. Would you like to participate now?]

As the notification sound rang, Qi Hui raised an eyebrow and immediately thought to himself, "Draw a prize!"

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Judo Mastery]

Not bad... Qi Hui was surprised. He had always wanted a skill for hand-to-hand combat.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it.

The skills he used were either marksmanship, knife skills, or something else.

"Ahem...buddy, I understand English," Qi Hui said with a light cough.

Qi Hui was in a good mood after just unlocking a new skill.

"Wow, buddy, you're awesome!" Scott Adkins shook hands with Qi Hui and laughed.

"We have a fight scene coming up later, what are your thoughts?"

He came to see Qi Hui for this very reason.

"Don't worry." Qi Hui waved his hand: "We're here to work, not to compete or fight. Just complete the actions and filming."

"Nice!" Scott Adkins gave a thumbs up, his worries easing somewhat.

No wonder he thought that way; in Hollywood, it's perfectly normal for newcomers to be bullied.

Those scoundrels in Hollywood always think they're superior to everyone else, using this as a way to demonstrate their abilities and status.

Without the right background and power, being bullied is simply deserved, and no one will care.

It wasn't just in Hollywood; in his native England, there were even instances of soldiers bullying new recruits, stuffing mortar shells into their anuses... well, never mind.

Having seen and heard this, Scott Adkins naturally viewed Qi Hui in this way.

After all, this is someone else's territory, and it's located in the mountains far from big cities.

He wasn't afraid of the director, because the director needed him to make money; what he feared was Qi Hui, who was in a higher position and exceptionally skilled in combat.
Fortunately, this Chinese man was very easy to talk to...

"Attention, all departments, to your positions!" Wu Jing shouted, first in Mandarin and then in English.

Soon, the entire crew sprang into action: cameramen, lighting technicians, sound engineers, and prop masters.

Qi Hui and Scott donned their heavy gear and began to take their positions.

"Okay, 3, 2, 1, action!"

With a snap, the clapperboard slammed down, and filming officially began.

Bang bang bang!
Scott Adkins holds a Sig Sauer P226 in both hands and fires rapidly while on the move.

Two cameras surrounded him and filmed him.

After filming that shot, Wu Jing immediately turned the camera to a backpack behind the earthen embankment.

At the safety officer's signal, the relevant personnel stepped back, and then the explosions occurred one after another, kicking up clouds of sand and mud.

With the front-facing camera finished shooting, it's time to get down to business. Next up is the first head-on confrontation between the protagonist Leng Feng and the foreign mercenary Lao Mao.

Leng Feng used his backpack to confuse his opponent, and then engaged in close combat once the opponent got close.

During the sniping attack, he noticed that the enemy sniper didn't seem to intend to kill him, which led Leng Feng to make a guess, and he quickly devised this plan.

The enemy wasn't worried about things escalating, otherwise they wouldn't have killed the squad leader.

If the speculation is confirmed, it means that the other party really intends to capture you alive.

Launching an attack under these circumstances is dangerous for Leng Feng, but it also presents an opportunity.

So, Leng Feng climbed the tree, and when the old cat approached, he suddenly jumped down and slammed into it.

At the same time, he thrust his military dagger downwards, aiming directly at the top of the opponent's head.

But the old cat reacted quickly, bracing itself with its hands to protect its vitals while dodging and creating distance.

He has a gun and live ammunition, which is his biggest advantage.

With snipers providing cover in the distance, taking down Leng Feng shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself.

Leng Feng's leap landed on him, which didn't kill him, but it dislocated his arm, making it difficult for him to fight again.

With reinforcements arriving from afar, Old Cat was forced to retreat empty-handed. This battle was exceptionally dangerous, demanding a high level of skill from both the actors and the director to portray the ferocity of fighting to the death.

Wu Jing was fine at first, but later she couldn't hold on and became increasingly anxious.

Coupled with the unbearably hot weather, he was so anxious that he became flustered and even made several mistakes.

Qi Hui had no choice but to take on the role himself, acting as the lead actor and also serving as a guest director.

With Qi Hui's help, Wu Jing calmed down, quickly adjusted his state, and completed the filming of the scene within the planned time.

This scene, the first confrontation with the foreign mercenaries, is very important; it serves as a crucial link between the beginning and the end of the entire film.

If it's not filmed well, half the project will be ruined.

……

That night, Qi Hui lay in bed playing on his phone and chatting with Jing Tian.

This girl gained weight while traveling in Hainan Province, and has been busy working out and exercising these past few days.

At the same time, he also studied the script of "The Vanished She" to understand the character.

In this movie, she can't be like before, where she and Qi Hui look like a couple just by standing together.

This time, she plays the best friend of Qi Hui's wife in the drama, and is Qi Hui's "comrade-in-arms".

To be honest, it's a bit difficult.

Besides these, Jing Tian also told Qi Hui that Xie Nan planned to visit the set sometime and invited her to come along.

……

After finishing his conversation with Jing Tian, ​​Qi Hui discovered that Gao Yuanyuan had sent him a message.

I was so engrossed in my work that I didn't pay much attention.

The main reason is that Gao Yuanyuan's opening line was somewhat underwhelming, consisting of just two words: "Are you there?"

"Sister Yuanyuan, is there anything I can help you with?" Qi Hui asked after a moment's thought.
"Are you free the month after next?" Gao Yuanyuan replied quickly: "I have a movie coming out, and I'd like to invite you to the premiere."

"When is the month after next?" Qi Hui asked. "I'm currently filming a military movie, so time is a bit tight."

"At the beginning of the month," Gao Yuanyuan replied.

"Okay, I'll talk to the director and try to get it." Qi Hui didn't elaborate, giving an ambiguous answer.

While chatting, Qi Hui also searched for Gao Yuanyuan's movies.

A romantic movie called "One Life, One Love".

She and Nicholas Tse starred in the film, and Zou Xian directed it.

It was that ABC (American-born Chinese) I encountered when Guo Degang's movie was released.

At the time, the woman spoke fluent English, which Qi Hui couldn't get used to, so he replied to her directly in Tianjin dialect.

“Wu Jing will probably be there too; this movie is spearheaded by the Hong Kong team,” Gao Yuanyuan replied.

Once she said that, Qi Hui pretty much understood.

Besides Wolf Warrior, Wu Jing also took on the role in SPL 2: A Time for Consequences. The director and producer originally intended for Wu Jing to play a minor, mute assassin.

But now, for some reason, the male lead has been replaced.

Wu Jing readily accepted the offer.

Qi Hui guessed that this was probably Wu Jing's obsession.

When he was working in Hong Kong, he mostly played bad guys, either blond-haired or blue-haired assassins, or villainous mercenaries.

There are good guys who do appear, but they are extremely rare, you could count them on one hand.

It's rare to have a positive character, especially a policeman and a good guy, so Wu Jing certainly wouldn't refuse.

"I see. See you then, Sister Yuanyuan," Qi Hui replied.

"There's one more thing," Gao Yuanyuan continued, still online.
"I heard you have a new movie in the works. Is there a role that would be suitable for me?"

She actually came here to look for a job.

Qi Hui was speechless for a moment: "My movie script hasn't even been approved yet."
