Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 519 XP is unpopular and strange.
In the room, Jing Tian, ​​dressed in a porcelain white and indigo embroidered cheongsam, stood in front of a table, holding a wolf-hair brush, slowly writing calligraphy.

The characters on the paper were a bit large, but they had a delicate and graceful quality.

The saying "one's handwriting reflects one's personality" is true.

In the play, Si Teng's calligraphy is exceptional, and there are many scenes of her writing calligraphy. She needs to practice... It should be said that Si Teng's talent in the play is arranged according to her own personality.

Qi Hui asked her if she could write calligraphy, and only after receiving an affirmative answer did he arrange those plays.

Thinking of this, Jing Tian couldn't help but smile.

She didn't know whether she was shaping the character based on the script's Si Teng, or whether the Si Teng in the play was portrayed based on herself.

At that moment, a pair of arms reached out from behind and gently embraced Jing Tian's waist.

Jing Tian stiffened at first, then, after smelling the familiar scent, she turned her head slightly and gave Qi Hui a sidelong glance.

"It's really well written." Qi Hui patted Jing Tian's belly, rested his chin on her shoulder, and chuckled softly.
It's so nice, soft and fragrant, I don't want to let go of it.

“That’s right, it’s from childhood training!” Jing Tian smiled smugly.

She started learning it when she was little, and she practices it regularly, just not every day.

"I've prepared some brown sugar ginger water for you." Qi Hui pressed his cheek against hers and smiled, "You'll have some later."

She hasn't been feeling well these past couple of days and needs to rest.

"Hmm~ Hehe~" Jing Tian had just responded when she couldn't help but laugh.

"uh-huh?"

"It feels like the ancient Chinese saying, 'A beautiful woman adds fragrance to the night while you read,'" Jing Tian said softly with a kiss to Qi Hui.

Qi Hui smiled gently: "Isn't that wonderful? My dear talented Jing Tian."

"Mmm~" Jing Tian chuckled and continued practicing her calligraphy, letting Qi Hui stick on her brush.

"There's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on," Qi Hui said after thinking for a moment.

"What?" Jing Tian asked without looking up, writing as she did so.

"Who do you think would be best suited to play the role of Bai Ying?" Qi Hui asked.

"Ah...aren't you the director? You decide." Jing Tian put down the calligraphy brush in her hand, somewhat puzzled.

Qi Hui wrote the script, he raised the investment, and he assembled the crew. He had absolute authority on the crew.

"That's true, but I still need to ask for your opinion," Qi Hui said while rubbing her lower abdomen.

Bai Ying is no ordinary character. In the play, she is Si Teng's alter ego... or rather, she is the second Si Teng.

After Si Teng was born, she had two personalities: the emotional Bai Ying personality, who fell in love with an ordinary human named Shao Yankuan.

However, the rational Shito personality objected, believing that humans were not good and that mating with humans would lead to a bad end.

Neither side could convince the other, so Si Teng split up, becoming two people: Bai Ying and Si Teng.

Later... Bai Ying personally killed Si Teng!

First, they ambushed him, then drained his blood to kill him, and finally buried his body in a place called Dana.

Later in the story, Si Teng and Bai Ying will join forces to fight against Qiu Shan of Xuanmen.

The male protagonist, Qin Fang, is Bai Ying's direct descendant, and is her great-grandson.

Si Teng and Bai Ying are the same person, which means that Si Teng is Qin Fang's great-grandmother or great-aunt.

Of course, in order to pass censorship and enrich the plot, the character Qin Fang was given the additional setting of being a descendant of the Sky-Supporting Tree when the script was written.

Therefore, Bai Ying's role is special and important, and the requirements are naturally quite high, otherwise she would lack the temperament of Jing Tian.

This means that one's appearance cannot be inferior to Jing Tian's, but one cannot be too domineering.

The original character wasn't very good at this, so a lot of heavy makeup was used to make the actress look alluring and sinister.

In terms of presence and temperament, he can barely compare with Jing Tian.

But that's all. Viewers don't even remember much about it, and it doesn't fit the character setting of the second Shito at all.

But things are different now. With Qi Hui's current abilities, it's not difficult to find a few good actors to portray Bai Ying better.

"Well..." Jing Tian scratched her head a little, "Who do you have in mind?"

How could she possibly answer such a fill-in-the-blank question in such a short time?
Let's turn fill-in-the-blank questions into multiple-choice questions.

Qi Hui said, "Bai Bing, Yang Mi, Gao Yuanyuan, Han Xue."

He had obviously planned ahead; all four of them were good candidates, and they probably wouldn't reject him just because it was a web series.

"Huh?" Jing Tian was a little surprised: "Can't Chen Duling do it?" She immediately thought of her "best friend" from a while ago. The lawyer Chen Mai, whom she played, directed that play-within-a-play called "The Vanished Her" in order to avenge her best friend.

"This... won't work." Qi Hui said helplessly. He had also thought about Chen Duling, but Chen Duling was too innocent... or rather, too innocently naive.

At first glance, you can tell that she is an innocent, sheltered flower, untouched by the world's troubles.

Bai Ying's character, however, is ruthless and cunning.

The reason she didn't destroy Sito's body was to prepare for his future resurrection.

The story of "Si Teng" largely revolves around the resurrected Si Teng searching for Bai Ying and unraveling her decades-long scheme.
If that's all there is to it, using Chen Duling wouldn't be a bad idea.

After all, the contrast between her innocent and naive appearance and her cunning and ruthless behavior is quite striking.

It can also create a more vivid portrayal of the character.

However... Chen Duling stood in front of Jing Tian like a little sister, and it was clear that Jing Tian completely dominated Chen Duling.

As for Bai Ying's plot to ambush and kill Si Teng... it would be too incongruous to have Chen Duling play the role; perhaps it would be better to switch the roles.

Therefore, Chen Duling is not suitable.

Hearing this, Jing Tian was also helpless... To be honest, the reason she wanted Chen Duling to come to "Si Teng" was because Chen Duling was easier to control than the four people Qi Hui mentioned.

Thinking of this, Jing Tian couldn't help but cough lightly, feeling rather embarrassed.

"Then... let's go with Gao Yuanyuan," Jing Tian said after thinking for a moment.

Bai Bing is too alluring, and Yang Mi is too seductive; neither of them is suitable, especially Yang Mi!
snort!
As for Han Xue... she's not easy to get along with and is a bit unfamiliar, so getting her into the group will be quite troublesome and will require a certain period of adjustment.

In contrast, Gao Yuanyuan didn't have such trouble.

We've worked together once before, and we're quite familiar with each other.

"Huh...okay." Qi Hui was a little surprised to hear Jing Tian choose Gao Yuanyuan. He thought she would choose Bai Bing or Han Xue.

Of course, Yang Mi is impossible; her name was just used by Qi Hui to make up the numbers.

Having secured the actress for Bai Ying, Qi Hui immediately contacted Xiao Yang and invited him to a meeting at the film set.

The other roles should be finalized by now.
Qi Hui planned to cast Zheng Yitong as the villain Shen Yindeng in the early episodes; she played Baolian's older sister in "The Temptation of Going Home".

She often plays demons, such as the Heart-Digging Flower Girl in "The Living Buddha Ji Gong" and the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon in "The Investiture of the Gods".

Playing a poisonous mushroom spirit this time will be no problem.

At home, anyone could beat Hong Shixian—his parents, older sister, younger sister, and even his wife all beat him up.

The eldest sister, Baolian, hit the hardest. While others were slapped, Baolian clenched her fist and swung it hard, hitting Baolian between her chin and ear!
As for the villain Qiu Shan, Qi Hui has not yet decided on a candidate.

However, there is a general direction: the actor should be older, somewhat stronger, and have experience in action scenes.

There's another character, the scumbag Shao Yankuan.

Qiu Shan's scheme caused Bai Ying to reveal her true form in front of Shao Yankuan, who was terrified, filled with fear and dread, and viewed her as an outsider.
However, Qiu Shan took advantage of the Shao family's business difficulties to arrange for Shao to marry Bai Ying, and then conspired with her to murder Bai Ying.

And this scumbag agreed to kill his wife.

Besides the two reasons he appealed, another reason he killed his wife was that he was fickle and tired of her.

After marriage, he changed his mind and took a concubine, even condoning Bai Ying to kill the concubine, and then taking another concubine after killing her.

To be honest, Qi Hui didn't understand this behavior at all. This was a beautiful and charming monster, how wonderful!
If it were a user with an obscure and unorthodox XP system, let alone a vine that transforms into a human, even a mosquito, as long as it's good-looking, wouldn't be out of the question.

Qi Hui had read quite a few doujinshi featuring Mosquito Girl from One-Punch Man... cough cough, never mind, let's not talk about that.

Qi Hui plans to have Zhang Luyi play the role of Shao Yankuan.

He's a scoundrel, a hypocrite, and he's quite suited to playing this kind of role, even though he's not that handsome.

Moreover, they are involved in stage plays, have good acting skills, and have low costs.

As for the remaining roles... Xiao Yang, production manager, assistant director, you decide. Let me see your choices once you've made them.

Get to work... Oh, and remember to draft the contract and contact the actors.

After giving his instructions, Qi Hui turned and left to go back and keep Jing Tian company.

She wasn't feeling well and was in a bad mood, so she needed a lot of companionship.

Assistant Director and Production Manager Xiao Yang: "..."

He's back to being a hands-off manager!

Chairman, your obsession with women is extremely harmful!
