Chapter 468 Visiting the Set of Jing Tian's "Nirvana in Fire" Film and Television Production

"6.73 million in the opening week... Our chairman is really something!" Kong Sheng exclaimed, taking a moment to look at his tablet computer during a busy week.
In front of the monitor, Sun Molong turned around and was immediately glared at by Kong Sheng:
"Focus on your work!"

"Yes..." Sun Molong quickly turned his attention to the film set.

In the corridor of the film set, the burly Emperor Liang, dressed in a dragon robe, was walking slowly.
Beside her, Princess Nihuang, played by Jing Tian, ​​lagged half a step behind, following behind.
With Sun Molong watching, Kong Sheng stopped looking at the monitor and continued to sigh.

It's obvious to the naked eye that "Wolf Warrior" will definitely break 1 billion yuan at the box office.

Their money-making skills are far superior to those of those who make TV dramas!

No wonder he looked down on the role of Mei Changsu.

Thinking this, Kong Sheng felt a bit frustrated and regretful. If only Qi Hui hadn't taken on this empty title of chairman back then!
I'm afraid the current success of Yixin should belong to Noon Sunshine... Never mind, I don't want to think about that!

Kong Sheng suppressed the jumbled thoughts in his mind and stopped letting his mind wander.

He rose through the ranks within the system step by step; although he inevitably had some wild ideas, he was a pragmatist.

He has always based his decisions on objective facts, coordinated development, expanded the industrial platform, grasped historical patterns while seizing key time points, strived to win the annual battles, planned major strategies, and achieved the long-term development of the enterprise!
At this moment, the production manager walked in with a familiar person, causing Kong Sheng to sit up straight immediately.
"Hey, Lao Kong, long time no see," Qi Hui greeted him.

"Chairman!" Kong Sheng called out hurriedly.

"Chairman, you've arrived?" Sun Molong also quickly stood up.

"Hey, you guys continue, I won't disturb you. Let's talk after this scene is finished." Qi Hui waved his hand repeatedly, grabbed a stool, and sat down.

As he spoke, he also looked at the monitor.
Inside, Jing Tian, ​​who plays Princess Nihuang, is acting with Ding Yongdai, who plays the Emperor of Liang.

You might not be familiar with the name Ding Yongdai, but you'll definitely recognize the name Bai Baoshan.
Ding Yongdai played this ruthless criminal before, and more than 20 years later, he revisited the case in "I Am a Criminal Investigator".
Hmmm... Only today do I realize who I really am?

Jing Tian wore a white robe with silver embroidery, and around his waist was an indigo cloud-patterned belt from which a jade pendant hung.
Although she plays a female general, she is now a graceful and noble princess.
Jing Tian is perfectly suited for this kind of noble and elegant role; she looks beautiful no matter how you look at her!

While Jing Tian was still acting, several people emerged from another palace.

Li Xue was leading the way, and the others were actors. They were supporting each other and massaging their own legs.
"What's going on?" Qi Hui asked, gesturing with his chin.

"My legs are numb from kneeling," Li Xue said helplessly, spreading her hands.
Although "Nirvana in Fire" is a fictional historical drama, its costumes, postures, and etiquette referenced and drew inspiration from the etiquette system from the Wei-Jin period to the early Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, there are many scenes involving kneeling.

The research was meticulous, but filming it was incredibly troublesome.

The actors' legs would go numb after sitting for only a short while, so they had to keep filming intermittently.
After speaking, Li Xue greeted Qi Hui: "Hello, Chairman!"

"Ah..." Jing Tian suddenly exclaimed in the corridor, her face full of surprise.
She saw Qi Hui!

"Cut!" Sun Molong shouted hurriedly, and after replaying the scene, he found that Princess Nihuang and Emperor Liang's act was over.
But he was distracted and didn't call for a stop.

"Alright, that's settled then." Sun Molong called out, "This scene is over, everyone take a break."

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian rushed over, unable to hide the joy on her face.
The onlookers, captivated by her sweet smile, were inexplicably drawn to it and began to smile too.

Hu Ge, Jin Dong, and the others, who were massaging their legs, glanced at Jing Tian, ​​then at Qi Hui in the director's studio, and suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out to be him!
"Qi Hui has produced another blockbuster movie..." Hu Ge couldn't help but say.
He's been acting in TV dramas for over ten years, including period dramas, and has long wanted to move into movies and shed the label of "period drama prince."
"He's a big shot, you can't compare to him." Chen Long shrugged. He'd been acting for many years, but had never really taken off.

Even Wu Song was portrayed, but... damn it, he got beaten up by Ximen Qing.

The beating he got during that scene was awful... He almost thought Du Chun wasn't playing Ximen Qing, but some kind of damn Ximen Chuixue.

In contrast, Qi Hui rose like a rocket, soaring to new heights.

Not only did he become a wildly popular A-list actor, he even founded a company and became a shareholder.
Compared to him, I feel like I've wasted my life, achieving nothing.

Jin Dong, standing to the side, curled his lip in displeasure but said nothing.

He dislikes Wolf Warrior; he thinks it lacks substance and culture.

He prefers works that are more cultured and artistic.
He also disliked Qi Hui, finding him lacking in cultural refinement, unwilling to read more books, and only interested in fighting and killing all day.
Wouldn't it be better to read more poetry collections and Van Gogh's quotes?

the other side

Qi Hui and Jing Tian reunited and were about to say a few words to each other.
But once they started, they found a bunch of people staring at them intently.
Immediately, Qi Hui's face darkened.

Jing Tian's face lit up with surprise, but then turned into embarrassment.

Ugh! A bunch of third wheels!
"What are you doing? What are you doing with a goofball if you're not filming?" Qi Hui scolded, his face dark.

"Isn't that why we can't start filming?" Sun Molong said with a grin.
The boss lady's scenes definitely can't be filmed today. On the other hand, Hu Ge, Chen Long, Jin Dong, and the others still have numb legs, how are they going to film?
Qi Hui glanced at them and immediately decided to help them find something to do.

"Hey you... Cui Feng, go buy some sushi and bring it back, remember to bring the sushi plate too," Qi Hui called out to the production manager.
"Ah... Oh, I'm going right now!" Cui Feng hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran out.
This scene left Hu Ge, Chen Long, and Jin Dong completely bewildered. Qi Hui was indeed powerful, but why did he have the right to order around the people at Noon?
Besides, Cui Feng is such a spineless coward, why listen to him... Jin Dong took a deep breath and frowned deeply.
As a contracted artist with Daylight Entertainment, he decided to have a talk with the company's senior management.
Isn't it shameful to be so obsequious?!
Not long after, Cui Feng returned, carrying a sushi plate with only three small portions of tuna sushi on it.

There are quite a few Japanese restaurants around here.
Qi Hui took the sushi, distributed it to Kong Sheng, Sun Molong, and Cui Feng, and then handed the sushi plate with one leg attached to it to Li Xue.
"Uh... what?" Li Xue looked completely bewildered.

“This is called a heel brace, it’s for sitting,” Qi Hui said irritably. “When you’re kneeling, you put it between your legs, under your buttocks.”

Li Xue: "...Huh?!"

Isn't this thing for holding sushi?

The three people, including Kong Sheng, who were eating sushi nearby, suddenly fell silent.

You know what, this thing actually looks like something to sit on, but... it's ridiculous!
Why would the Japanese use it as a plate to hold things?

How exactly did our ancient ancestors teach Japanese students studying abroad?
Are you just trying to fool me?

Li Xue was skeptical, but she took the thing and tried it out on the spot.

You know what, it actually works!

Now there's finally a solution to the actors' leg numbness problem!
"Come on, get ready to film!" Li Xue immediately called out, preparing to begin work.

At the same time, have Cui Feng make a few more of these.

"What?" Hu Ge and the others stared wide-eyed. They were going to continue?

They've only rested for a few minutes?
the other side

Seeing the production team resume operations, Qi Hui also left with Jing Tian.

After a long separation, it's time to rekindle our time together; he's been eagerly anticipating it!
……

"Um... Director Li!" Before filming began, Jin Dong couldn't help but say with a serious expression:

"I know Qi Hui is very famous and popular, but as high-level executives at Daylight Entertainment, you don't need to be so obedient to him, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Ge, Chen Long, and Wang Ou all stopped and pricked up their ears.
Li Xue, who was fiddling with her heel pads, looked up at Jin Dong with a furrowed brow: "What did you say?"

“I mean, we’re a big company after all,” Jin Dong said. “You’re all senior executives, you should set a good example!”

"Hehe..." Li Xue rolled her eyes: "Well said, don't say it again next time!"

"Qi Hui is the chairman of our company. You'd better show some respect in the future, or you can expect our termination notice!"

"What?" Jin Dong's eyes widened in shock.

Hu Ge, Chen Long, and Wang Ou were also taken aback and didn't know what to say.

"Stop standing there, get ready to film!" Li Xue shouted, showing no mercy whatsoever.
