Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 653 Life, can you please spare me this once?
As the naval battle came to an end, the scene shifted to several villains.

The question that puzzled the captain and Qi Hui was: [Why do pirates work so hard, when they're just trying to make money?]

The question has been answered.

It turns out that the villains are plotting to take over the country, and in order to prevent other forces from getting involved, they have come up with this move with a great sense of international perspective.

The goal is to make key sea areas the focus, drawing the attention of major powers there.

Therefore, the international profile of the villains came into play.

Here, Qi Hui also hinted at something, flashing back to show the audience the scene of the villains fighting the Snow Leopard Commando.

Most of the villain's henchmen were wiped out by the Snow Leopard Commando.

Qi Hui also specially showcased the formidable combat power of the armed police in the flashback scenes, demonstrating their almost superhuman physical prowess.

Therefore, this villain and we have a long-standing grudge.

Qi Hui didn't give this villain a name, but the character has already been established.

Aside from these, the rest is just the usual portrayal of the villain, showcasing his cruelty, methods, and schemes.

Then, Zhou Xun, who plays a female reporter, quickly appeared on stage.

Of course, there's also her tool, Abu.

She is investigating the villain's organization and has discovered that the villains have obtained yellowcake.

We are currently exploring technologies to turn yellowcake into dirty bombs.

Unfortunately, there happened to be a man named William in this country who possessed this technology.

Therefore, the villains set their sights on William.

The female reporter Xia Nan's goal was to expose this matter and let everyone know the villain's plan and ugly face.

However... the editor-in-chief won't allow it!

The villains were far too ruthless and inhumane; the editor-in-chief dared not confront them directly.

"There are always things more important than life!" Zhou Xun, playing the female reporter, said slowly as she looked at her editor-in-chief.

The actor who played the editor-in-chief in the original version was Simon Yam.

Qi Hui naturally wouldn't continue using him, but instead replaced him with Du Xudong, an actor from the Navy Political Department.

It's that actor who often plays traitors, Japanese soldiers, and villains, the one with the crooked mouth.

In the TV series "Snow Leopard", he played one of the heroes of Qingfeng Village. During the breakout, he was shot by the Japanese and sacrificed his life.

She also appeared in "Fire Blue Blade", playing Cui Jie, the girlfriend of Lu Yan (played by Xiao Zhang), and her father.

During the interview, he looked happy and said that he could finally play a good guy.

Finally, he is no longer a traitor or a villain.

This time is no different; I won't be playing a villain again.

He's actually a pretty good actor. Although his mouth is a bit crooked, sitting at that desk, he inexplicably exudes a scholarly air about him.

She held her own against Zhou Xun in their scenes together.

During the filming of this scene, Zhou Xun was surprised more than once that the actor's acting skills were ridiculously good.

Qi Hui shrugged at her surprise. "If the Naval Political Department has a Strategic Deception Bureau, it's not surprising that they have such a good actress."

Boom!

Suddenly, the car on the screen exploded.

The car Zhou Xun was about to get into instantly shattered into pieces and burst into flames.

Zhou Xun turned her head in shock, looking at the car with a mixture of astonishment, confusion, disbelief, and deep fear... a complex expression on her face.

Their acting was so good that it left people speechless.

Film critics quickly wrote down their evaluations of Zhou Xun's acting skills.

We need to analyze and evaluate Zhou Xun's acting skills here from all aspects and multiple dimensions.

Zhou Xun rolled her eyes, not wanting to comment.

She wasn't acting at all; it was clearly real!

Before filming began, Qi Hui told her that they were going to blow up a car, but she thought it was just a random explosion.

But who could have imagined that the explosives Qi Hui had prepared would be so fierce and powerful?

It startled her on the spot.

From then on, Zhou Xun became smarter.

She would often go to the film set to carefully observe the explosion scenes and prepare herself mentally.

To avoid losing control of one's expression again from being bombed.

"Hehe..." Gao Yuanyuan chuckled beside her, somewhat gloating.

On screen, Zhou Xun clenched her fists, her expression slowly shifting from fear to determination.

The audience was moved by Zhou Xun and subconsciously felt admiration, and also looked forward to her future appearances.

I'm even more looking forward to her encounter with the Jiaolong Commando Team later on.

This character is actually very good; he has ideals, ambitions, and the drive to take action.

There's an even greater motivation to do all this. But... how should I put it?

When watching the original movie, Qi Hui didn't actually have a deep feeling about the character.

The main issue is that Hai Qing's portrayal and characterization are somewhat strange.

Whether it was his conversation with the editor-in-chief or with Yang Rui, the captain of the Jiaolong Commando, he exuded an air of superiority and arrogance.

It feels so strange; it always makes people feel disgusted and repulsed.

Zhou Xun's performance was much better; it was captivating and full of emotion.

She didn't have that inexplicable aloofness that Hai Qing possessed.

More importantly... she's prettier than Hai Qing!
Good-looking people always inspire goodwill and a greater sense of trust.

Just like Hong Shixian wanted to choose a very handsome person to play the role.

If he weren't handsome and was two-timing, people would be disgusted and report him.

The reason Qi Hui was chosen to play Hong Shixian was because he was so handsome that no woman could feel any aversion to him.

With the villain and the female lead fully developed, the camera once again focuses on the warship on the big screen.

The atmosphere on the warship was cheerful.

On the aft deck, Qi Hui and the Jiaolong team members were having a seafood barbecue.

"Life, can you please spare me this once?"

"In my next life, I just want to be a child who never grows up!"

"With someone to keep warm and someone to rely on, there won't be too many worries."

"You can erase life's disputes with the most innocent eraser!"

"Life, can you please spare me this once?"

Sometimes I'm so tired, but I don't know why I have to keep going.

"Cruel reality is shattering the fortress of inner strength."

"Wipe away your tears and face the chaotic days... a spoonful of sauce—!"

On the deck, in front of the oven, more than a dozen members of the Jiaolong Commando Team were swinging around with gusto.

They were singing, swaying, and doing a seafood barbecue for veterans all at the same time.

Tense, lively, serious, earnest!
The spirit and morale of the People's Liberation Army soldiers were on full display at this moment.

After a battle, how can we not relax and rest?

Soldiers also need rest.

In the crowd, the camera focused on Li Dong, the assistant machine gunner, who looked rather grumpy.

The video repeatedly flashes back to scenes of people killing others while holding a piece of grilled meat.

Clearly, he was not as battle-hardened as the others and still needed more experience.

……

This song has no background music; it's sung by the Jiaolong team members in the movie.

The cheerful songs brought smiles to the faces of the audience.

The cheerful and lively atmosphere was infectious.

Even the Director, Gu Ping, and Tang Jing laughed.

The latter two had actually seen the original film, but the director had not.

But it's precisely because I haven't seen it before that I feel it's so good!
"What song is this?" the Director asked Gu Ping, the chief advisor beside him.

“This…” Gu Ping thought for a moment and said, “It’s a song that Qi Hui wrote himself.”

He was present throughout the filming of the scenes at sea.

He had asked Qi Hui this question before; the song was called "The Innocent Eraser."

...Of course this wasn't written; Qi Hui didn't have that ability.

Of course it was copied... No, wait!
How could the director's actions be considered plagiarism?

This is called creation!

However, this song was originally scheduled to be released several years later, after the pandemic had subsided.

But Qi Hui had taken it out many years in advance.

The effect is quite good.

The tense, lively, serious, and earnest spirit of our soldiers was perfectly displayed at once.

Jingle bell bell bell~
But then, a rapid ringing of the bell caused everyone's expression to change instantly.

"Everyone, assemble immediately!" Qi Hui roared, his voice hoarse.

The Tianjin dialect, which was originally full of humor, was now filled with authority!
At the same time, he called out to the cook next to him, "Cook, please clean up!"

With that, he led the assembled group away on a run.

The joy on the cook's face vanished, and he straightened his clothes, saluted solemnly, and watched his comrade head off to the battlefield.
