Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 671 Jing Tian visits the set of "In the Name of the People"

"As expected of Director Qi!" Li Lu chuckled and gave a thumbs up: "You make a good point."

"Okay, let's shoot it like you said!"

With that, he got up, ready to call the crew members to start filming.

But Qi Hui quickly grabbed him and put his phone away: "Don't rush!"

"What?" Li Lu was dumbfounded. Hadn't everything been explained?

"I'm all set, but what about Hu Jing?" Qi Hui asked. "Has she ever been used to firearms?"

The .22 caliber bullet sounds small, but it is actually an imperial unit. When converted to metric units, it is roughly equivalent to 5.56 millimeters.

The amount of propellant it carries can't compare to that of a rifle bullet, but the sound of the gunshot is quite loud.

Especially in enclosed spaces.

The gun videos you see on short videos before you travel through time are actually noise-reduced by the recording equipment, so they don't sound very loud.

But it's not easy for people who haven't been exposed to it before to accept.

Qi Hui has a lot to say on this matter.

Back in the US, Lao Guo and Lu Yang were so affected by the gunfire at the shooting range that it took them a long time to adjust.

At first, Qi Hui made them wear earmuffs, and if they didn't, he would install a silencer.

But the two of them felt that Qi Hui was making a mountain out of a molehill, since neither you nor Wu Jing wore them either.
And so it went, and then... people teach people ten times and they still don't get it, but things teach people, and they get it in one go.

From then on, Lao Guo and Lao Lu stopped arguing.

Getting back to the point, for the shooting scene, the guns provided by Jin Dun were real guns with blank rounds. If Hu Jing hadn't been used to it, she might not have been able to act.

“Uh…” Li Lu was a little surprised when he heard this, then nodded: “Let me ask.”

Not long after, Hu Jing was pulled over by Li Lu. Hearing Qi Hui and the other person's questions, she smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't really play that kind of thing."

"Then let's go to the shooting range and get used to it beforehand," Qi Hui said.

"Well... okay." Hu Jing hesitated slightly, but nodded nonetheless.

Before long, the two arrived at the shooting range. Li Lu had already coordinated with the people from Golden Shield.

Several burly men also brought up firearms and blank rounds.

One of them wanted to explain it to Qi Hui, but was pulled back by the other.

Do you really need to explain Qi Hui to me? He's fired more guns than you've ever seen!

The man scratched his head, gave an awkward smile, and then said nothing more.

Qi Hui nodded with a smile, then skillfully checked, loaded the bullet, chambered the chamber, and pulled the trigger.

He'll be the one shooting later, and Hu Jing will be watching from the side.

He has scenes involving shooting guns, but Hu Jing doesn't.

clap clap clap!
Gunshots rang out and echoed throughout the firing range.

Hu Jing subconsciously shrank her neck, her expression almost uncontrollable.

Scared!
Just like some people are afraid of firecrackers.

"Hu Jing, restrain yourself a little!" Li Lu shouted, wearing earmuffs.

Hu Jing rolled her eyes: "Director, no way, I'm scared!"

Wearing earmuffs, you're talking without any sense of the pain!
"How about... you try firing a few shots?" Qi Hui suggested.

"Is it okay?" Hu Jing asked with surprise, a mix of fear, excitement, and anticipation.

“Then let’s give it a try.” Li Lu nodded: “Qi Hui, you teach her.”

Qi Hui and Hu Jing play a couple in the drama. Under normal circumstances, when they are acting, they appear in front of others at the same time, and their relationship is not revealed.

But this scene is different; it's a scene where Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin are alone, and the two need to portray the intimacy between lovers.

On the other side, Hu Jing ran excitedly to Qi Hui's side.

However, Qi Hui did not let her touch the gun so quickly. Instead, he first removed the magazine, pulled back the slide, and checked whether there were any bullets in the chamber.

Finally, after releasing the safety lock and confirming that everything was secure, he began to speak:
"Let me tell you about safety precautions first. First of all, never point a gun at a person."

"Second, when you get the gun, you should check if there are any bullets inside to make sure it is safe."

"Third, the handling of the gun must be steady, and also..."

Qi Hui started rambling on and on, explaining numerous safety regulations.

Otherwise, it would be very dangerous to let a novice handle a gun.

Hu Jing looked at Qi Hui, his deep voice echoing in her ears, convincing her and leaving her with no doubts.

To be honest... Qi Hui gives people a very safe feeling!

It's not just about a sense of security.

When Qi Hui picked up the gun, he exuded a different kind of aura.

An indescribable aura that puts people at ease and inspires longing.

Hu Jing listened quietly to Qi Hui's explanation with a smile on her lips.

Some listened, some didn't really listen...

The two security guards from Golden Shield exchanged a glance, and their initial worries completely disappeared.

What Qi Hui said was even stricter than what they learned.

They don't need to worry about safety issues at all.

clap clap clap!
Soon, gunshots rang out again at the shooting range. Hu Jing, with a hint of excitement on her face, happily pulled the trigger. Half an hour later, she had had her fun and was almost used to it.

Li Lu immediately instructed the already prepared film crew to begin filming.

Hu Jing took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

I was so excited just now that I can't film like this.

……

"Alright, everyone to your positions—" the assistant director shouted, "3, 2, 1, action!"

clap clap clap!
The trigger was pulled, and gunshots rang out continuously.

The camera moves, starting with the gun and the hand, slowly bringing Qi Hui into the frame.

"I really can't take this kind of life anymore!" Qi Hui said through gritted teeth, his voice tinged with anger. "You're always wearing that miserable face, it's so annoying!"

The prelude to this scene is the argument between Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu.

Of course, that scene has already been filmed, and Tao Huimin has long since finished her scenes.

"Don't be angry~" Gao Xiaoqin said while unwrapping the wet wipes, "You know how temperamental Miss is."

This statement seems comforting, but in reality... it actually has a hint of sarcasm.

This is a veiled jab at Liang Lu.

However, Gao Xiaoqin was a smart person, and after a brief discussion, she got down to business.

Talking too much about this will only make men realize that something is wrong.

It's best to leave these things at that.

“Tongwei, these are special times,” Gao Xiaoqin said softly. “You know everyone is watching us, especially now. You have to be patient.”

"We can't afford to fall into chaos internally!"

“I know…” Qi Hui nodded.

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin smiled, appearing somewhat relieved.

"Xiaoqin, do you know what I value most about you? It's this sense of propriety you have." Qi Hui sat on the shooting platform and smiled slowly.

Hearing Qi Hui's voice and feeling the slight admiration in his gaze, Hu Jing's heart stirred...

Her eyes lowered, and then she looked at Qi Hui and slowly said, "Do I have the right to throw a tantrum and be willful...?"

The strong, independent businesswoman, Ms. Gao, unusually revealed her vulnerability.

"I'm sorry," Qi Hui said softly, "I can't give you a stable life."

Looking at Qi Tongwei, Gao Xiaoqin's features softened slightly. Then, she leaned gently against the glass of the shooting range compartment and said softly:
"I do"

As she spoke, she gently grasped Qi Hui's hand.

Love between two people is always so subtle and reserved.

Looking at Qi Hui, her eyes sparkled, her gaze filled with autumn water.

A look of surprise flashed across Qi Hui's eyes, but his smile remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Off-screen, Li Lu was also stunned for a moment. This... there was no such line in the script, nor was there any mention of holding hands!

Li Lu quickly realized that Hu Jing had been drawn into the role by Qi Hui.

She herself didn't realize it.

"Director, is this scene over?" the assistant director whispered in Li Lu's ear.

"Uh... right, right." Li Lu finally realized and shouted, "Very good, passed!"

Hu Jing was startled awake by the noise and felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Teacher Hu, you're amazing, you passed in one take." Qi Hui smiled without changing his expression.

"Haha...you, you acted very well too." Hu Jing smiled awkwardly and quietly let go of Qi Hui's hand.

It's not just good, she was even dragged into it.

But to be honest... it felt quite comfortable to hold hands with; it was warm and a little rough, but she didn't dislike it.

Pack up the guns, leave the set, remove makeup...

"Director," Qi Hui called out.

"Huh?" Li Lu asked, puzzled.

"My partner is coming to visit the set tomorrow," Qi Hui said. "Can you give me a day off?"

"Half a day." Li Lu glanced at Hu Jing, then said firmly.

It wasn't that he was making things difficult for Qi Hui, but rather that the filming of "In the Name of the People" was nearing its end, and he hoped to finish filming as soon as possible.

"Fine." Qi Hui shrugged. Anyway, it's the weekend.

He essentially got a two-and-a-half-day vacation.

Li Lu seems tough, but in reality... well, let's not dwell on that.

"Who is your boyfriend?" Hu Jing asked from the side, feeling... not exactly uncomfortable, but just strange.

After all, she had just acted out a love scene with Qi Hui.

“Jing Tian,” Qi Hui said with a smile.

"Oh……"
