Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 634 Clothes are good stuff... It's been a long time since I've taken anything from the film crew!

"...Action!"

At a command, the stage manager slammed the clapperboard.

Filming for this scene has officially begun!
However, from the very beginning, Hou Yong surprised everyone with his superb skills.

When the van arrived, he was helped out of the vehicle and his legs went weak, making it difficult for him to stand.

Qi Hui stared intently at the scene, somewhat puzzled as to how Hou Yong had managed to do it.

It didn't seem like he was acting at all; it was more like a physiological reaction under abnormal conditions.

Soon, Hou Yong began to put on a dramatic performance, portraying the limp and powerless state he had when he was first brought to the villa's entrance.

Upon entering the villa, he curled up like a lion with its head in its hands, exuding a sense of despair.

And the tears and lamentations that followed the complete exposure, and the deep regret for what had happened.

Qi Hui watched with great interest.

Hou Yong doesn't need to worry about using too much force; he's using whatever force he can right now.

Too much force?

nonexistent!

However, Lu Yi, who was standing to the side, was probably thinking something, perhaps seeing how well Hou Yong was doing, and wanted to give it a try too.
They may have been inspired by Hou Yong and started to exert their efforts as well.

"You admit this is your refrigerator?!" Hou Liangping shouted, suddenly questioning him.

This question wasn't entirely wrong; it marked the beginning of Zhao Dehan's breakdown.

But...how to say it?

With a hint of smugness, arrogance, and self-satisfaction, he made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, it wasn't a big problem, because soon everyone's attention was drawn to Zhao Dehan.

As the questioning fell, Zhao Dehan's mouth opened slightly, and then his rough, farmer-like face began to fall.

The urge to cry gradually spread, her lips turned down, her eyes furrowed... a sense of collapse swept over her.

"Director Hou... I didn't spend a single penny... I dare not..." Accompanied by soft sobs, he was completely finished.

"My family has been farmers for generations, and we've been terrified of poverty..."

"When you were making a fortune through dirty money, did you ever think of yourself as the son of a farmer?!" Lu Yi continued to press his advantage.

In the studio, Li Lu frowned, wanting to call Lu Yi to stop.

But after glancing at Hou Yong, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Under these circumstances, Hou Yong should not be disturbed.

At worst, we can use some editing techniques to reduce Lu Yi's presence.

……

Contrary to expectations, the scene was actually filmed very smoothly.

The scene was finished in less than an hour.

Hou Yong wiped away his tears, still carrying the aftereffects of his performance.

Lu Yi, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the scene more, still savoring the moment.

He felt he acted well and was in good form; if he continued, he would be even better.

the other side

Zhang Zhijian, Wu Gang, Li Jianyi, Huang Junpeng and others are changing clothes and putting on makeup.

Thanks to Qi Hui's involvement, the production team had ample funds, and the executive jackets he wore cost several thousand yuan each, so he no longer had to pay for them himself.

The quality feels really good when you wear it.

Of course, Huang Junpeng didn't wear that; he simply wore the prosecutor's uniform, which was provided by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and didn't cost him any money.

Qi Hui also had two: a police uniform provided by Golden Shield and an administrative jacket purchased by the production crew.

That's brilliant!
Qi Hui chuckled as he looked at the two pieces of clothing.

To my shame, I've been acting in my own productions for the past few years and haven't been to other people's film sets in a long time.

I've never had the chance to take things from others.

Things are different now, we finally have a chance!
This executive jacket, worth several thousand yuan, and this custom-made Handong No. 01 police uniform, are all mine!
"Hehehe..." Qi Hui couldn't help but laugh.

Mao Geping, who was applying makeup to Qi Hui, was startled by the sudden, strange laughter and got goosebumps.

He wouldn't dare stay here if there weren't so many people around.

That laughter is terrifying!
not far away

Lu Yi is chatting with Huang Junpeng.

He won't be filming anymore, but he's not planning to leave yet.

Huang Junpeng was somewhat helpless, as Lu Yi kept him occupied and stopped him to talk about the scene he had just filmed.

In reality, outsiders can see clearly that Lu Yi's performance... well, it can't be said to be bad.

However, it could also be said that the reverse effect is very good.

Although Huang Junpeng is about the same age as Lu Yi, his acting skills are actually much better.

He actually starred in the "Great Battle" film series... or rather, "The Great March - The Battle of Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou." His acting was much better than Lu Yi's.

I can see Lu Yi's situation, but... never mind, some things are better left unsaid.

Being a master at playing dumb is actually quite nice.

"Hey... do you think our investor can act well?" Lu Yi took off his brown leather jacket, slung it over his shoulder, and asked with a smile.

Seeing Lu Yi's somewhat frivolous demeanor, Huang Junpeng frowned slightly, thinking he was too unreliable.

This is true both on and off screen.

"I don't know what the director was thinking, it would have been so much better if I had played the lead role..." Huang Junpeng's mind raced, but his smile remained unchanged as he said:

"Monkey, have faith in our colleagues. Also, talking behind people's backs or speaking ill of them is not good behavior."

What a coincidence, isn't it?

Hou Liangping, the character in the play, also likes to tease others behind their backs.

When he was at the Supreme People's Procuratorate, he remarked, "Ji Changming has become the Chief Procurator?"

While doing housework with his wife at home, he secretly expressed his disdain for Qi Tongwei's kneeling marriage proposal.
A single act of abuse of power can cause the ideals and aspirations of a promising young person to vanish into thin air.

Are their ideals and ambitions just paper? Or is there a problem with themselves?

The dialogue within the classics originated from here.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi shrugged and didn't take it to heart.

Huang Junpeng was somewhat speechless. Sometimes he couldn't understand whether Lu Yi was simply playing himself when he played Hou Liangping.

Normally, he's a pretty good actor; he even acted in "Young Justice Bao".

Why does playing Hou Liangping now have such a... strange effect?

As they were talking, the actors who were supposed to be filming the meeting scene finished their makeup and came out.

Qi Hui was dressed in an executive jacket, keeping a low profile and not showing off.

After Mao Geping applied makeup, Qi Hui exuded maturity, composure, and an air of seasoned experience...

To be honest, the moment I saw him, I felt he was reliable!

Huang Junpeng glanced at Qi Hui, and his heart stirred. The frivolous and impetuous air that Lu Yi had brought earlier vanished instantly upon seeing Qi Hui.

This is the demeanor and style that a department-level public official should have.

Soon, Zhang Zhijian, Wu Gang, and Li Jianyi also entered the venue one after another.

A business jacket, costing several thousand yuan, looks incredibly high-quality on the body!

On Zhang Zhijian's nose, there were tortoiseshell glasses worth several thousand yuan.

Gao Yuliang's demeanor, that of an intellectual and a provincial party committee leader, was fully displayed.

Refined and courteous, yet exuding an air of authority!
"Attention everyone, prepare for filming!" the assistant director shouted. "Unrelated personnel, leave the set! Actors, enter and get ready!"

At a command, five actors slowly entered the conference room set.

Zhang Zhijian, who plays Gao Yuliang, sits second from the left, while Wu Gang, who plays Li Dakang, sits diagonally opposite him.

Secondly, there's Qi Tongwei, played by Qi Hui.

Closest to the door were Ji Changming and Chen Hai, who had come to report.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Although the meeting scene appears to be a dialogue scene, in "In the Name of the People" it is equivalent to an action scene.

They used words as their blades and expressions as their swords to wage war against each other.

The focus is on camera movement and the actors' lines.

As Chen Hai delivers his lines, the camera pans to Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, and finally Qi Tongwei, played by Qi Hui.

His expression remained unchanged, but he slowly turned his head to look at Li Dakang on his left.

Then, quite naturally, he turned his head to look at Gao Yuliang, who was diagonally opposite him.

This simple head-turning gesture was quite interesting; the restless Li Dakang didn't notice it at all, nor was he in the mood to pay attention to Qi Tongwei.

Meanwhile, Qi Tongwei secretly observed the anxious Li Dakang.

From the very beginning, this camera work immediately revealed that something was wrong with Li Dakang.

However, later on, the audience will realize that this scene also reflects Qi Tongwei's restlessness.

With a slight turn of his head, Qi Tongwei revealed the turmoil beneath his outward calm.

"..."

Lu Yi watched from the side; he was also an experienced person and could see Qi Hui's composure.

But... he was somewhat reluctant to admit it.
"I haven't even started reciting my lines yet, who knows if I'm just putting on a brave face..." Lu Yi thought to himself.

He didn't think this young man could really handle the roles these guys played.
