Chapter 637 In the Name of the People? Not as good as "The Mystic Nine" (1st update)
Hu Jing looked at Qi Hui and became more and more satisfied.

Just by hearing the name of this anti-corruption drama, you can tell there are a lot of old men in it.

She had been worried that the Director Qi she was acting with might be an old man.

Even if it's not an old man, what if it's a greasy middle-aged man?

Now I can finally let go of that feeling completely. Qi Hui is handsome and young, and he's pleasing to the eye.

"Shall we go over our lines?" Hu Jing said with a gentle smile, her expression subtle and restrained, her movements small.

"Alright." Qi Hui nodded.

He booked a high-speed train back to Shanghai for the evening, and Jing Tian will also take the high-speed train back.

I've missed you so much after not seeing you for a few days.

So, quickly rehearse your lines with Hu Jing, familiarize yourself with all the situations, and then it will be easier to go home.

Immediately, the two took the script and slowly went over their lines on set.

It must be said that although Hu Jing hasn't acted for a while, her professional skills are still top-notch.

Her delivery of lines was in no way inferior to that of the other actors in "In the Name of the People." She recited the lines fluently, naturally, and with great emotion.

They can even talk while drinking water, doing so easily and naturally.

As she spoke, she suddenly went off-script without even looking at it.

In other words, she has memorized all her lines.

Others can do this, such as Wu Gang and Zhang Zhijian; they can memorize it if they want to.

But they didn't do that; instead, they had a more suitable method for memorizing lines.

That's how seasoned veterans are.

Qi Hui was similar; he memorized only a small portion of the lines, but he didn't memorize all of them in one go.

This is a bit tiring and troublesome.

But Hu Jing did just that, and she did it quite well.

Although Qi Hui would not make that choice, he greatly admired such a person.

I have to say, that's pretty impressive.

While Qi Hui was shocked by Hu Jing's abilities, Hu Jing was also surprised by them.

After all, Qi Hui was too young; in front of her, he was like a little brother.

That's actually quite true; when Hu Jing went to university, Qi Hui was still in elementary school.

She entered university nine years earlier than Qi Hui.

However, Qi Hui's professional skills were no less than hers, which surprised her greatly.

why?
Are all young people these days this amazing?
Hu Jing was surprised, and slowly suppressed her teasing and contempt for Qi Hui.

They truly regarded him as an actor of the same generation who was no less capable than themselves.

……

"Hahaha……"

Under the shade of the tree, Hu Jing's laughter rang out from time to time, attracting the attention of many people.

It was only in public that they did this; otherwise, everyone would have assumed that Hu Jing and Qi Hui had some kind of secret.

Of course, it's just a thought.

Who dares to speak ill of their sugar daddy behind his back?

Even Lu Yi, the male lead who used to dislike everyone, has now lowered his head and behaved himself.

"Qi Hui, it's so relaxing and liberating to rehearse lines with you," Hu Jing said with a smile.

She was increasingly looking forward to working with Qi Hui.

It felt incredibly exhilarating.

It makes you feel really good.

After being away from acting for many years, I'm so happy to have such a great partner when I come back to the screen.

Moreover, the quality of this drama is much better.

I just don't know if they can put Zhang Ziyi in a better position.

Even before she graduated, Zhang Ziyi was already talking about Zhang Yimou and Hollywood all the time.

It's an eyesore to look at.

"Hehehe." Qi Hui smiled and said, "Do you know why Liang... cough, I mean, you're right."

I almost misused words.

As he spoke, he turned to the next page of the script, ready to continue.

The story of Gao Xiaoqin and Qi Tongwei runs through almost the entire drama, with the two having many scenes and even more lines.

It's impossible to get everything done in just half a day.

But then, Qi Hui's phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Xiao Zhang.
"Hello? Ruoyun?" Qi Hui asked, somewhat surprised.

Generally, you can just send a message on WeChat or QQ if you need anything.

The phone call came all of a sudden… it was a bit unexpected. On the other end of the line, Xiao Zhang's voice sounded somewhat grave as he spoke briefly with Qi Hui about Tang Yixin.
Just as Qi Hui had predicted, Tang Yixin was deceived.

A few days after speaking with Qi Hui on the phone, he contacted his girlfriend, but Tang Yixin's words were evasive and vague.

This puzzled him and left him confused.

What's going on? I don't know how... Um, what happened?

Without thinking of anything else, he asked the crew for a few days off to go home and visit his family.

Then, I saw Tang Yixin trading stocks, and she was trading stocks under the guidance of others.

The stakes aren't high, only a few hundred thousand, but this scheme is clearly a scam.

Xiao Zhang originally wanted to trick the swindler into giving him his money back.

But the scammers were extremely vigilant. After just one day, they discovered that Tang Yixin had stopped transferring money, so they promptly absconded with the money.

This made Tang Yixin feel terrible. It turned out that she had really been deceived!

Xiao Zhang called, feeling down and wanting to talk to someone.

On the other hand... because of this incident, Yixin and he developed a grudge and hoped that Jingtian could help persuade him.

He also didn't want his partner to feel uncomfortable.

After all, it's only a few hundred thousand, not a big deal.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui felt a toothache. It seemed he wouldn't be able to spend the weekend alone with Jing Tian in Shanghai; he would have to make a trip to Beijing.

He nodded immediately and agreed.

This is indeed a troublesome matter, but Jing Tian isn't a psychologist, so no matter how much she tries to persuade him, she can't come up with anything good.

After thinking it over, Qi Hui decided to do it himself.

In his own way, he helped the two mend their rift.

He immediately took out his phone, ready to call for help.

But then, a stagehand ran over and said that someone had come to visit the set and wanted to see Qi Hui.

"Uh...who is it?" Qi Hui looked completely bewildered.

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

Before the thought had even subsided, his phone rang; it was Lao Ling calling.

"..."

If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lao Ling visiting the set.

Sure enough, the stagehand brought Lao Ling over.

At first glance, Lao Ling walked briskly, smiled confidently, and was in high spirits.

"Oh? Senior brother, what's making you so happy?" Qi Hui asked with a smile.

"Isn't it normal to be overjoyed to see you, Junior Brother?" Old Ling laughed heartily.

Qi Hui chuckled silently; Old Ling had become increasingly mature.

Hu Jing had already left, and Qi Hui kept calling her; she knew she couldn't continue reciting her lines.

He immediately put down the script and went to watch the teachers perform.

He handed the territory over to Qi Hui.

Old Ling plopped down and started chatting with Qi Hui.

His happiness wasn't actually due to seeing Qi Hui.

Instead, I acted in "The Mystic Nine". I felt good there. The script was good, and the actors I worked with were also good.

This gave him a feeling of being back in the early days of his career.

Riding a horse with the spring breeze at its back, one can enjoy the exhilarating feeling of seeing all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day.

Of course, the main reason was that he saw that Qi Hui wasn't doing as well as him, so he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Junior brother, no offense, but acting in this kind of anti-corruption drama with a bunch of old men, isn't it a bit out of character for you?" Old Ling chuckled and said.

The two had a special relationship, so they naturally spoke without much restraint.

"What's my status?" Qi Hui didn't seem to care. "Isn't playing a department head pretty good?"

"This show looks unlikely to become a hit," Old Ling said with a shrug.

Compared to anti-corruption dramas, his performance in "The Mystic Nine" is much more interesting and is sure to be a hit.

As for this anti-corruption drama... all I can say is, let's hope it's not just a passing fad.

"Senior brother, you... have a rather unusual eye for watching a show." Upon hearing this, Qi Hui couldn't help but wipe away some sweat.

As expected of Lao Ling, his eye for watching the show is still the same as before.

They're usually quite normal, but they're completely lost when it comes to a really good show.

It leaves you speechless.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Qi Hui remembered something and said, "Something happened to Ruoyun. Let's take your sister-in-law with us and go check on her."

"Huh?" Old Ling was shocked.

What happened to Ruoyun?!
