Chapter 476 Wolf Warrior's 10 Billion Victory Celebration Banquet: Champagne Served Halfway Through
A few days later

Film set, diving center!
Several safety officers patrolled off-camera, ready to respond to any unexpected situations.

Three photographers who had received diving training prepared their equipment on the shore, ready to go into the water!
With a splash, two photographers went into the water, leaving one to film the scenes on the shore.

Qi Huihe, along with Chen Duling and the two actors, familiarized themselves with the underwater movement and scenes.

Soon, everything was ready!
Qi Hui waved his hand, signaling Wu Jing that they could begin.

Upon receiving Qi Hui's signal, Wu Jing immediately picked up the walkie-talkie:

"Unauthorized personnel, please leave. All departments, prepare to begin filming!"

"The actors are in position!" the assistant director shouted.

"The camera is in position!" the director of photography shouted.

"Scene 4, Shot 1, Act 1, Action!" Wu exclaimed.

The script supervisor claps the clapperboard, start recording!
Underwater, Qi Hui and a supporting actor had already donned their diving gear.

Qi Hui wiggled his flippers, facing the supporting actor, and communicated with him through gestures, imparting relevant diving knowledge.

Qi Hui plays He Fei, a diving instructor, whose professional knowledge he has already mastered.

Although there are some differences, diving hand signals are not difficult to learn and are similar to tactical hand signals.

The difference is that tactical hand signals are mostly used with one hand, while diving hand signals are mostly used with both hands.

Soon, it was Chen Duling's turn.

"Scene 4, Shot 2, First Action!"

Chen Duling fell into the water, held her breath, and kept moving her flippers to maintain her depth.

Numerous bubbles rose from the diving equipment, obscuring her face.

According to Qi Hui's instructions, a body double was to be used for this underwater scene.

This is safer and also more favorable to Chen Duling.

But Chen Duling refused, insisting on going on stage herself, partly because it was novel and she thought it would be fun.
We can't train for so many days and then not even go into the water, can we?

It doesn't matter how much or how little you pour.

Secondly, the production team offered her a substantial salary, and she didn't want to let them down.

Qi Hui, Wu Jing, and the others fell silent for a moment. That's why they said that college students were so clear-headed and foolish.

Underwater, Qi Hui swam quickly and came to Chen Duling.

First, they fixed her dislodged respirator, then gestured for her to swim upwards.

Li Muzi, played by Chen Duling, shook her head repeatedly, saying she had a leg cramp.

Helpless, Qi Hui swam quickly with her in his arms, heading towards the surface of the water.

Underwater, the photographer used a camera to capture the two figures growing smaller and smaller.

"Okay, cut!" Wu Jing shouted. The underwater scene went smoothly and was completed in one take.

The main reason is that there are no facial expressions or lines, so filming was much easier.

"Makeup artist, touch up the actors' makeup," Wu Jing called out. Next, they were going to film the scene where Qi Hui... no, He Fei falls in love with Li Muzi at first sight.

"..."

"...Action!"

"Why did you let the trainee go into the water alone?"

"The mask strap broke. I thought it would only take a minute to fix... I'm sorry!"

"Apologize to me? Say it to the students!"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I never expected it to turn out like this..."

Qi Hui and the supporting actor were rehearsing their lines when the supporting actor, sensing something was wrong, slipped away, giving Qi Hui's character, He Fei, a longing look.

Hey bro, help me calm her down, otherwise if she complains, it'll be a real problem!

Finally, I decisively slipped away!
The camera focused on Chen Duling, who was catching her breath. She took off her diving mask, revealing her face.

"Are you alright...?" In the shallow pool, Qi Hui looked at Li Muzi, but before he could finish his words of comfort, surprise slowly appeared on his face.

Then she became dazed, lost in thought, and finally... a hint of admiration appeared on her lost face.

The changes in facial expressions are negligible, but this series of emotions is what makes them emerge.

"How come this guy...acts so well?" Wu Jing couldn't help but mutter in the director's studio.

how to say?

Qi Hui has also played scenes of love at first sight before, such as the scene in "Battle of Changsha".

Although both were love at first sight, they gave people different feelings.

The love at first sight in "Battle of Changsha" is a turbulent emotion hidden beneath a calm surface!

Gu Qingming liked her, but as a soldier, he was not good at expressing his feelings, so he subconsciously chose to suppress them.

He Fei, standing before him, was so stunned by her beauty that he fell in love with her.

His mind went blank. Facing Li Muzi, he was like a boy experiencing his first love, stunned and speechless at the girl he admired. Chen Duling looked at Qi Hui, perhaps influenced by him, and subconsciously reached out to touch Qi Hui's face.

She couldn't help but laugh; she had seen this expression several times before, always from boys in her school.

But this was the first time it had happened to Qi Hui.

She thought she had no charm!
"Cut!" Wu Jing shouted to stop, startling Chen Duling awake.

Upon realizing that she was stroking Qi Hui, her face flushed red.

"It's not a big problem, just adjust it." Qi Hui said in a businesslike tone, "Was my shot right just now?"

“No problem,” Wu Jing replied. “We haven’t filmed Li Muzi’s scenes yet, but we can use the footage from before.”

Just cut off Chen Duling's hair and stroke Qi Hui's hair.

Fortunately, Jing Tian wasn't here... Wu Jing thought to himself, otherwise Qi Hui would be in real trouble!

“Then let’s continue!” Qi Hui said. “Chen Duling, adjust yourself.”

“…Okay!” Chen Duling took a deep breath and replied.

Fortunately, Jing Tian wasn't there...

……

The next day

The underwater scenes continued to be filmed.

There aren't many scenes in the water; the only two are the encounter between the protagonist He Fei and Li Muzi, and Li Muzi being locked in an iron cage at the bottom of the sea.
Of course, there's also the underwater starry sky, but that's a post-production special effect.

Gao Yuanyuan stood behind Wu Jing. On the monitor, Qi Hui locked the iron cage, his eyes cold and indifferent, as if he were looking at a dead man.

Gao Yuanyuan slowly took a breath. Qi Hui's acting skills have always been very good, even she, who has been in the industry for many years, felt inferior to him.

But for some reason, his acting was even better in these strange places.

They acted so realistically!
On the monitor, "Li Muzi" frantically pounded on the iron cage, making a series of splashing sounds.

At the same time, she used the sign language that He Fei had taught her to ask He Fei for help.

"Mmm..." Li Muzi patted the iron cage, took out an ultrasound report in a waterproof bag, and wanted to tell He Fei that she was pregnant.
Pregnant with his child!
However, He Fei walked away indifferently, taking it as Li Muzi's plea.

He didn't even look at her, and left without hesitation, leaving Li Muzi trapped in the iron cage at the bottom of the sea, where she died in despair!

Qi Hui changed this scene slightly. In the original version, Li Muzi got pregnant, and He Fei also found out about it later.

Inside the prison, He Fei roared to the sky, writhing in agony, on the verge of collapse, and also showing signs of remorse.

There are two interpretations here. One is that killing someone means destroying their spirit, and He Fei has received the punishment he deserves.

"Do you regret it?"

Shen Man's question was answered: He Fei suddenly repented while in prison.
Secondly, He Fei genuinely regretted killing Li Muzi.
But he didn't regret what he did; instead, he regretted not knowing about it.

If he knew better, He Fei, that gambling addict, would never have killed Li Muzi; instead, he would have used the child to extract more money from her.

He regretted that he had ruined this great opportunity with his own hands.

However, Qi Hui abandoned this idea.

He doesn't intend to let the character He Fei live on!

This movie is a satisfying revenge thriller about best friends!
Since it's about revenge, then good should be rewarded and evil should be punished, with a clear beginning and an end.

He Fei used an underwater iron cage to kill Li Muzi, causing her to suffocate to death.
Li Muzi's best friend, Shen Man, naturally also wanted to kill He Fei in this way.

Of course, the underwater iron cage was too noisy and the feedback was too slow, so Qi Hui had Shen Man use an even more ancient method: hanging!
This gambling addict should be hanged!
He was hanged alive!

……

"Wolf Warriors victory celebration banquet?"

After filming wrapped up for lunch that day, Wu Jing suddenly told Qi Hui something.

"Yes." Wu Jing nodded. Wolf Warrior's box office broke 10 billion a couple of hours ago!

The other two investors were overjoyed.
Who would have thought that the movie, which I initially looked down on and casually invested ten million in, would actually gross ten billion at the box office?

They couldn't resist Wu Jing's persistence, and they were annoyed by his constant pestering. In addition, they had some past relationship with him, which is why they were somewhat reluctant to invest.

And now... they are filled with remorse, wishing they had invested more back then!

However, now that it has exceeded 10 billion, the appropriate treatment should be given.

For example, a victory celebration banquet or something!

"There's still more than a month left in the screening period." Qi Hui was puzzled. Why open champagne halfway through the screening? What's the purpose?

"So, I'm asking for your opinion, aren't I?" Wu Jing said. Qi Hui was the biggest investor in "Wolf Warrior".

"Tell them to celebrate after the screening..." Qi Hui waved his hand and said, "Opening champagne halfway through the screening is not allowed!"
Then, Qi Hui asked in surprise, "Huh? Didn't you run out of money?"

"It's broken one billion, and as the director, I'm getting some different treatment now." Wu Jing spread his hands, smiling happily.
"For example, investors adding more money!"

Ding dong ding dong~
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Hui noticed that his phone kept beeping.

Many people, both familiar and unfamiliar, began sending congratulatory messages.

Qi Hui's phone suddenly became incredibly busy.
