Chapter 606 Five women make a drama, green tea

Casablanca, a small town on the northern outskirts.

On the three streets in the center of the town.

The area is covered with barbed wire and sandbags, and machine guns and other weapons are mounted behind various bunkers.

There are also a considerable number of American-made Humvees, French-made VAB wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, Soviet-made tanks, and other equipment.

Today we're filming the street battle scene. To film this scene, the Moroccan authorities closed three streets in the town so the crew could film.

Outside the blockade, a number of heavily armed Moroccan Royal Guards are on guard.

Inside the blockade, the crew of Operation Red Sea was busy with a bunch of heavy weapons and equipment.

Looking at the blockade line, Qi Hui couldn't help but chuckle. To be honest, it felt a bit strange.

It feels like setting up a concession on someone else's territory.

I never imagined that one of my old film crews could have this kind of ability...

"Director, the set is ready." The assistant director ran over and said in a deep voice:
"The bomb sites have been set up, and our people have checked them three times and found no problems."

"The production crew also carefully inspected the set, both inside and out, and snakes, lizards, and the like were all removed."

Qi Hui nodded and looked at Han Sanping.

Han Sanping frowned slightly: "The foreign actors are still getting their makeup done, so filming cannot begin for the time being."

Qi Hui's brows furrowed, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Go and urge them."

"Tell them that if they're late, they can forget about eating today!"

As he spoke, Qi Hui glanced at the assistant director.

The assistant director immediately understood and pulled the production manager away.

On one hand, they notified the logistics department to prepare for withholding food, and on the other hand, they told the field staff to prepare for a fight.

Qi Hui was now dressed in the desert camouflage of the People's Liberation Army, with guns and various tactical weapons hanging on his body.

His face turned cold, and a chilling aura suddenly arose, making the assistant director's scalp tingle, and he had absolutely no intention of objecting.

Qi Hui now gave him the feeling that he could kill someone at any moment, and he was a little scared...

Let alone the current Qi Hui, even the ordinary Qi Hui, he would not dare to disobey.

"Furthermore, if this causes financial losses to the production crew, we will directly report it to the Moroccan Royal Family and deduct the corresponding expenses," Qi Hui continued.

"Director Tang, Counselor Zhuang, please convey my opinion to the Moroccan side."

Tang Jing and a middle-aged man were taken aback, and couldn't help but gasp in surprise. This kid was really tough.

Counselor Zhuang is a staff member of an overseas embassy; the position of counselor is one of the duties within an embassy.
Qi Hui knew, of course, that this kind of forceful approach was not good, but the fact that the other party was late on the first day clearly indicated a problem.

Therefore, Qi Hui did not stand on ceremony with them.

If not handled properly, poor command of the production team is one issue, but if they slow down the progress, that would be a real problem!

Besides, the Moroccan government's support for their filming wasn't unconditional; the production team paid a considerable amount for it.

Nothing comes for free.

They paid the money, so what are they if not big shots?
Besides, with so many of us here eating, drinking, and taking care of our needs, helping them boost the economy, how could they possibly want to cause trouble?
Tang Jing nodded, called her secretary, and prepared to go and give feedback together.

She also knew that she couldn't let those people be so lax.

As someone with a background in the Navy Political Department, she had the least tolerance for people with such lax discipline.

Beside him, Counselor Zhuang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But after thinking about it, I swallowed it down and instead of trying to dissuade them, I chose to go and report it together.

……

After giving his instructions, Qi Hui led the executive director to the actors and signaled everyone to prepare for filming.

"Let me just say a few words," Qi Hui said slowly, looking at the actors from the Navy Political Department and the five people led by Lao Ling.

"You've done all the training you were supposed to do, and you've learned everything you were supposed to learn. You need to stay focused and not make any mistakes!"

"There's one more thing: in the play you are soldiers, but off-screen you are actors."

"You're playing soldiers, but not super soldiers."

"You need to have the bravery and courage of a soldier, but you also need to have the uncontrollable tension of an ordinary person facing a hail of bullets."

"Courage is not fearlessness, but the spirit to forge ahead even in adversity and despair!"

"What we want to create are living, breathing soldiers with flesh and blood."

"Yes!" the actors stood at attention and shouted in a deep voice.

Qi Hui nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and signaled to the executive director that they could continue.

"Attention everyone! Attention all groups! Filming is about to begin. Proceed to your designated positions as planned!" the assistant director shouted through a megaphone.
"Stagehands, clear the set! Actors, get ready to enter!"

"..." "Operation Red Sea, Scene 1, Shot 1, Action 1!"

Snapped!
The script supervisor slammed the clapperboard, and filming officially began.

boom! boom! boom……

Suddenly, deafening explosions rang out one after another.

A raging torrent of fireballs rose up one after another, spectacular and magnificent, yet utterly terrifying.

The intense and arduous filming work has begun!

……

Devil
After a few days, I've almost finished reading the script.

Jing Tian and the other four are all professionally trained actors, either from the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama.

The only one who didn't graduate from either of these two universities is Jiang Xin.

However, Jiang Xin is also a graduate of a professional performing arts school, and after many years in the industry, her professional skills are in no way inferior to the other four.

Kong Sheng was pleasantly surprised that his planned five-day script reading time was brought forward.

However... the set isn't actually ready yet.

So it will be a few more days before it can be turned on.

The Joyful Community in the drama is actually not in Shanghai, but in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, in the north.

There was no other way; renting a venue here was expensive, so he moved to another city, since it wasn't far away anyway.

However, apart from the Joyful Ode residential complex, most of the other scenes were filmed in Shanghai.

The rustling of papers stopped, and the script was officially finished.

The actors looked at Kong Sheng, "Director, what's next?"

How should the work be arranged?

Kong Sheng coughed lightly: "You all get some rest. We'll head to Nantong in two days to officially start filming."

After saying that, Kong Sheng left with his assistant.

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian, ​​Jiang Xin, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. A holiday...that's great!
Qiao Xin exclaimed in shock, "Wow, there are holidays so soon..."

She hasn't graduated yet, but she's full of passion and enthusiasm for her work.

But before she could finish speaking, Yang Zi grabbed her and pressed her down.

All you do is spout nonsense.

You should be grateful you get a holiday!

The girls, now relaxed, started chatting about all sorts of things.

At first, the conversation was normal, mostly about work.

But as the conversation went on, it turned to men.

In the drama "Ode to Joy," each of the five leading ladies has a romantic storyline, so the conversation naturally turned to that.

"Men, they're always more responsive to gentle persuasion than force," Wang Ziwen said, offering advice with the air of someone who'd been there for a while.
"Don't lose your temper, don't argue with men, speak gently, and if they scold you, just act all wronged and cry. Men really like that."

"Just treat men like little children and coax them."

Yang Zi and Qiao Xin listened with great interest and found it very reasonable.

Jing Tian rested her chin on her hand, remaining silent.

But Jiang Xin sensed something was off and bluntly asked, "Isn't this playing the role of a green tea b*tch?"

Wang Ziwen raised an eyebrow: "Why is it green tea?"

Why throw a tantrum when a simple act of being cute could solve the problem?

"Hehe...you're absolutely right." Jiang Xin gave a forced smile and offered no further comment.

Well... Wang Ziwen is a woman from Sichuan Province.

He is best at magic cloaks and the Laozi Shudao Mountain.

She's gentle, virtuous, and understanding when you're dating, but as time goes on...

All I can say is, I hope the Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex will forever remain just a meme!

"Sister Jing, what do you think?" Wang Ziwen was satisfied and looked at Jing Tian for approval.

“That makes sense,” Jing Tian said with a gentle smile. “But I’m clumsy, I wouldn’t know how to be a green tea b*tch…”

Wang Ziwen: "..."

This woman is not to be trifled with!
