Chapter 266: CF Six Years of Military Retirement (Ch 266)

The two arrived in Hong Kong that afternoon.

In the evening, under the arrangement of the director, I got to know the heroine Ni Ni at a dinner party.

On August 21, Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan officially joined the crew for filming.

In the hotel’s dressing room, while Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan were putting on makeup, Director Qiu took the opportunity to explain the scene to them.

“On the first day of joining the group, I won’t give you any more intensity.

Let’s talk about Qi Jia first. This morning we filmed you leading the Resurrection Army into the airport subway station.

Hijacking the subway and planting bombs.”

The plot the director mentioned happened at night in the movie.

However, the evening is the busiest time for IFC and the subway station, so we were unable to cooperate with the crew in filming.

Therefore, Qiu Litao decided to finish the scenes inside the venue during the day, and then come back to shoot a few night scenes outside the venue at night.

You can just cut the two parts together later and that’s it.

When Qi Jia heard this, he immediately put down the pineapple bun in his hand and acted seriously. Unexpectedly, the director’s next sentence was,

“This part is too simple. I won’t tell you more. You can express yourself freely.”

“Okay, director.” Qi Jia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and reached out to pick up the pineapple bun again.

“The important thing is,” the director said again. Qi Jia thought it was not over yet, so he put it down quickly. But he heard the director continue,

“Ruonan, the Rhino you played led the team to attack the Tsing Yi Car Control Center.

There will be a short fight scene at the end. You have never done an action scene before. When we get to the set, I will arrange for a movement instructor to give you some special training.

Please work harder, we will try to finish the shooting in the morning.”

“By the way, the person you will be acting with later is Ni Ni, she plays Pang Ling.”

Director Qiu finished speaking and pointed at Ni Ni, who was dressed like a Flying Tiger, with legs longer than her life and a heroic demeanor.

“Hi~”

Ni Ni poked her head out from behind the mirror and greeted us with a smile.

Before this, Qi Jia’s impression of Ni Ni was still stuck on her naturally charming appearance as Zhao Yumo in “The Flowers of War”.

Seeing her dressed like this now, I find that she is not only charming but also cool, a bit like a Hong Kong martial arts actress from the 1980s and 1990s.

No wonder Qiu Litao and the investors chose her as the female lead.

“Sorry to bother you, Sister Ni Ni”

Zhang Ruonan, dressed in a terrorist’s battle-damaged makeup and with a high ponytail, said to Ni Ni with a smile.

She plays the role of Rhino, the assistant of the villain Ma Shijun in the movie. Originally, this was a male role.

But in order to get her into the crew, Qiu Litao changed her role to a female one. Anyway, she didn’t have many scenes and it would not affect the plot.

At 8 am, the crew arrived at the airport subway station.

Zhang Ruonan was passively called to the side for special training. The prop master handed a pistol to Qi Jia.

“Is this true?” Feeling the weight in his hand, Qi Jia was a little surprised.

“Yes, Mr. Qi Jia, this is modified from the Swiss P226. It cannot fire bullets, only blank bullets.” said the prop master.

Qi Jia nodded, fumbled for a while, took out the magazine, and looked at it, which was full of bullets with the warheads removed.

Then he put it back, turned on the safety skillfully, pulled the slide, and heard a click sound of the gun being loaded.

This set of smooth movements stunned the prop master and Ni Ni who were trying to explain it to him.

“Qi Jia, have you ever played with a gun before?” Ni Ni asked curiously.

“I’m a six-year veteran of CF, I’m a general, I’ve tried everything,” Qi Jia joked, while showing off his guns.

When he was filming Eight Hundred before, the crew also used modified guns, so Qi Jia learned from Zhang Yi, a retired veteran.

After playing with guns with Ni Ni for a while, the crew over there was already ready. The director called Qi Jia to go over and take position.

“Crew in place”

“Lights in place”

“Extras in Place”

I heard confirmations from various departments coming through my headphones.

Director Qiu glanced at Qi Jia and saw him nod at him, so he said, “Let’s get started.”

“Shock Wave 2, Scene 176, 2 shots, 1 time, start~” The boardmaster finished the countdown,

The extras who had been prepared for this moment immediately began to move into position.

The camera on the jib began to move slowly upwards, and Ma Shijun, played by Qi Jia, walked down the escalator with a group of terrorists.

“Sorry sir, we are blocked here.”

The extras playing the security guards immediately stepped forward to stop them.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Jia raised his hand and fired a shot without saying anything.

Bang! Flames spurted out of the muzzle of the gun. Qi Jia felt a shock at the base of his thumb and a slight recoil.

At the same time, the members of the Resurrection Army behind him also opened fire, and the extras also cooperated and fled in all directions, screaming.

“Camera No. 3, focus on the upper body and capture Qi Jia’s facial expression.”

Qiu Litao stared at the monitor and said on the intercom,

Then he carefully observed the expression on Qi Jia’s face for a while and felt that he was not very satisfied.

“Click”

Then he called Qi Jia to his side and said patiently,

“Qi Jia, don’t show any expression on your face. Ma Shijun is a lunatic with a high IQ.

You have to use his eyes to convey his madness, but not his face. The calmer his face is, the more it reflects the character’s personality.”

“I understand, Director. Let’s do it again.” Qi Jia thought about it for a while and nodded.

Five minutes later, the second game started.

This time Qi Jia did not disappoint Qiu Litao. In the camera, whether he was shooting security guards or threatening to kill hostages during a standoff with the police,

He always looked very calm, as if he was doing something very ordinary.

But when the camera captured his eyes, what came out was a kind of indifference that made people dare not look directly at him.

After adding two more lines and more than forty minutes, Qiu Litao felt that it could not be more perfect, so he just shouted “Yes”.

Next, it is Zhang Ruonan’s turn.

“Is he handsome?”

Zhang Ruonan held an assault rifle in both hands and a pistol on his leg, like a mobile arsenal, and turned around proudly in front of Qi Jia.

“Handsome, but he won’t last more than three seconds.” Qi Jia touched his chin and said seriously.

Zhang Ruonan raised his eyebrows and threatened in a fake manner.

“Tsk, you’re just jealous. If you dare to make me angry again, I’ll beat you up.”

“If you don’t go and prepare, the director will yell at you.”

Qi Jia pointed at Qiu Litao who was looking over here, and then reminded her,

“Don’t be nervous later. If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. Be careful and don’t get hurt.”

“Mr. Qi, can you have a little more confidence in me? Teacher Dongzhi just said that I am a genius.”

Zhang Ruonan stretched out an index finger, shook it, and said somewhat unhappily,

The teacher who was passing by happened to hear it and immediately cried out in injustice.

“Pretty girl, don’t spread rumors. I never said that.”

Hahaha~ Suddenly there was a burst of joyful laughter in the crew. At this moment, the staff felt that

These two young actors from the mainland are both very good, not arrogant, polite and energetic.

It is not like what my peers say, that young actors in mainland China all have bad habits, like being late and putting on airs, and using body doubles when the scenes are more intense.

Half an hour later, Zhang Ruonan’s scenes started filming.

After the beating was over, she kicked open the door of the service center, picked up her gun and started killing people without saying a word.

The whole set of movements was seamless, and when it came to the fight scene with Ni Ni, she also fought in a very professional manner.

Although the movements were not fancy, they were very solid and methodical. Even the director, who was a little worried at first, relaxed his frown after watching it.

“Resurrection”

As the rhino played by Zhang Ruonan was kicked to the ground by Ni Ni, she shot herself after saying her last line.

“Okay, click.”

Qiu Litao stood up with satisfaction and led the applause.

Hearing the shout, Zhang Ruonan jumped up from the ground and bowed to the people around him in surprise.

At about 11 o’clock in the morning, after adding two more lines, the vehicle service center successfully cleared the scene.

Zhang Ruonan walked up to Qi Jia with a red envelope in her hand, looking puzzled.

“The director gave me a red envelope and asked me to buy candy. Why?”
