Chapter 298 Culture goes to sea, television and movies go first (Ch 298)

“Have you heard of the New Silk Road?” Zheng Weiwen asked.

Qi Jia nodded. Although it was not his turn to worry about national affairs, he would occasionally watch videos and know about the country’s long-planned revitalization plan.

“You mean, the higher-ups are actually supporting Eternal Love at sea, and The Untamed will also be going to sea along the New Silk Road in the future?”

Qi Jia asked tentatively, he seemed to understand what Zheng Weiwen was going to say,

Sure enough, Zheng Weiwen gave him a thumbs up.

“I understand it at once. This is all driven by the country. Culture is exported, and film and television take the lead. Not only Penguin, but also Cat House needs to cooperate.”

After getting the confirmation, Qi Jia did not say anything, but thought of going to another place.

Seeing him frowning in thought, Zheng Weiwen asked curiously,

“I can’t figure out why the higher-ups do this.”

“That’s not the case.” Qi Jia raised his eyebrows, picked up the wine glass, looked at Zheng Weiwen, and said meaningfully,

“Director Zheng, if I’m going to shoot a fairy tale drama next year, I’ll have to ask you to help direct it.”

Zheng Weiwen glanced at Qi Jia with a hint of surprise, then smiled.

“You are such a cunning kid”

As she said this, she raised her glass and clinked it with his.

…

The next morning, I got up early and followed the crew to Qinhan Film and Television City.

In the dressing room,

The makeup artist was putting makeup on Qi Jia, and the staff and extras passing by cast astonished glances at her from time to time.

Qi Jia, wearing a white ancient costume, sat in front of the mirror, closing his eyes to rest. His face shape is a relatively bony movie face.

The facial bones are excellent, the facial features are straight, the lips are thin, and there are small inner double eyes, so she is very recognizable on camera.

With a slender figure, she can hold up any clothes well.

Coupled with the filter that comes with his ancient costume, he exudes an ethereal aura that is otherworldly, which makes people fascinated at first sight.

After finishing her makeup, Qi Jia walked to the set and pointed to the teacher and director who were explaining the play to Zhou Ye and the others. When they saw Qi Jia coming,

Everyone’s eyes were suddenly glazed over.

We are all used to seeing Qi Jia’s modern makeup on the screen. This is the first time we see him in ancient costume. I didn’t expect that the degree of adaptation was surprisingly high.

He has a Taoist air, is elegant and otherworldly, and his clothes flutter as he walks, like an immortal banished to earth.

Director Zheng Weiwen was particularly surprised. He had previously worried whether Qi Jia could live up to the character Xiao Xingchen’s temperament.

Now I am not worried at all. I feel that Qi Jia’s version of Xiao Xingchen is like he walked out of a novel. No one is more suitable than him.

“Qi Jia, I heard from my elder brother in Hong Kong that you are quite skilled in martial arts. Can you show me some sword moves?”

Zheng Weiwen was very satisfied with Qi Jiaxiao’s image of Xingchen. The only thing he was worried about was whether he could use a sword.

After hearing this, Zhou Ye and others gathered around and watched with interest.

Qi Jia curled his lips and said “OK”. He casually placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword and felt a cool breeze coming from the hilt.

The next second,

“Clang” the long sword was unsheathed, the crisp sound of the sword echoed in everyone’s ears, and a chill came over them.

The long sword was danced into a ball of frost in Qi Jia’s hand. The sword moves were so light and agile that it numbed all the onlookers.

The teacher who came after hearing the news was stunned. If he hadn’t felt embarrassed, he would have wanted to go up and learn from him.

Zheng Weiwen’s face showed both surprise and regret. He had never thought that Qi Jia had such skills.

If he had known this earlier, he would have tried his best to persuade Penguin to postpone the start of filming and wait for Qi Jia to free up the time.

With this image and skills, it would be a shame if he didn’t become the leading actor.

“Ding” Qi Jia turned around and sheathed his sword.

“good!”

Zhou Ye, who knew Qi Jia best, came to his senses first and clapped excitedly.

The others finally recovered from their shock and started to applaud with admiration on their faces.

Since there was no problem with the image and skills, the crew started filming immediately after they were ready.

After watching Qi Jia start to perform, everyone thought that today’s performance would be done in one take.

But unexpectedly, after shooting a few literary scenes, problems arose when we started shooting the first fight scene.

After several NGs,

“Crack!”

“Ha ha ha ha”

When the director called out “Cut,” Zhou Ye was the first to burst out laughing. With her leading the way, the others followed suit.

“Qi Jia, I’ve told you many times, when you’re fighting with Xue Yang, don’t make the ‘咻咻咻’ sound while dubbing yourself. We can add it for you in post-production.”

Zheng Weiwen stepped forward and said helplessly,

He really didn’t expect that the problem would arise here in the end. Qi Jia’s fighting scenes were indeed perfect.

But I don’t know why he has a bad habit. Every time he draws his sword, he can’t help making a “swish swish swish” sound from his mouth.

Qi Jia scratched his head embarrassedly. Actually, he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t help it.

I developed a bad habit when I was a kid watching martial arts movies. When I saw the martial arts masters on TV using swords, there would be a whooshing sound.

When he had nothing to do, he would pick up a branch and imitate, dubbing himself, and after a while it became like this.

“I’m sorry, Director. Next time, I promise I won’t make any more noises.”

The result is that ten minutes later,

“Cut!” Zheng Weiwen called for a stop again helplessly.

Seeing Qi Jia standing there awkwardly, Zhou Ye almost ruined her makeup with laughter, and Qi Jia was so angry that she wanted to pick up the scabbard and hit her on the head.

“Brother Qi, let me give you an idea. Why don’t you try putting a plum in your mouth.”

After laughing, Zhou Ye gave him an idea.

When Qi Jia heard this, he felt it was a good idea, so he tried it. It worked as expected. Except for the fact that he would accidentally spit out the plums sometimes, there were no other problems.

It’s time for the last show of the night.

This scene mainly tells the story of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji tracking Xue Yang to Chang’s house, and finding that all the members of Chang’s family were killed by Xue Yang. Just when the two wanted to take action against Xue Yang, Xiao Xingchen, played by Qi Jia, appeared, and with the cooperation of Wei Wuxian, successfully captured Xue Yang.

The first to appear are Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and Xue Yang. When the three of them finish talking and Xue Yang is about to escape, Xiao Xingchen, played by Qi Jia, appears.

“The Untamed, Scene 435, Scene 17, Time 1, Begin”

As the sound of the clapboard ended, everyone in the crew saw Qi Jia, dressed in white, flying from a distance in the night with a long sword on his back.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he looked like an ethereal being. If it weren’t for the wire hanging from his back, everyone would have almost forgotten that this was a filming.

“Xue Yang, I can’t let you escape again today”

Qi Jia slowly landed on the roof and spoke his lines. His voice was ethereal, as if from heaven. All the actors present almost wanted to ascend to heaven on the spot.

Wang Haoxuan, the actor who played Xue Yang, stood there in a daze, and for a moment he even forgot to say his lines.

It was not until the director called out “Cut” that he came to his senses and quickly apologized to Qi Jia.

“Sorry, Mr. Qi Jia, I got distracted.”

“It’s okay, don’t be nervous.” Qi Jia didn’t care. He comforted him and was hung back by the wire.

With the first experience, Wang Haoxuan adjusted his mindset this time and finally did not forget the lyrics again.

However, when it came to the fighting scenes, there were problems again. He was timid when fighting against Qi Jia.

Even though Qi Jia tried his best to restrain himself afterwards, he still couldn’t move freely.

After several NGs, he was called by the director to have a talk.

“Haoxuan, you can’t hold back, Xue Yang is a very evil character, didn’t you play the role well before?

Why are you acting like a bullied wife now? You need to stand up straight and show your evil cultivation spirit.”

“And here, why are you hiding? Do you think Qi Jia really dares to chop you with a sword?”

Wang Haoxuan felt bitter, but he dared not say it, so he had to try hard to adjust his mentality.

The last scene was not finished until after nine o’clock in the evening.

After work, I returned to the hotel, took a shower and lay down, ready to read the script.

At this moment, the phone lit up and Zhang Ruonan sent a photo.

It was a small box of wedding candy in a beautifully festive package. Qi Jia was a little curious and replied,

“Who’s getting married?”
