Chapter 375 Soybean Milk Blow Dryer (Ch 375)

Time flies, and it is February 27th, the day when the crew of Vanguard officially started filming.

Hong Kong directors pay much more attention to the opening ceremony than mainland directors.

In order to avoid any unexpected situations, Tang Jili asked the crew to bring people to knock on the doors of the leading actors’ rooms at around 4 a.m. for the 8 a.m. opening ceremony, urging everyone to get up.

Qi Jia woke up from his sleep and heard the call of the stage manager outside the door. He answered.

Then I got up, changed my clothes quickly, and was brushing my teeth when the screen of my cell phone lit up. I picked it up and opened it. It was a notice about today’s filming sent in the crew group.

Time: February 27, 9:00,

Actors: Qi Jia, Ai Lun, Lou Xuexian, Guo Zhiyan…

Plot: After the Vanguard organization’s VIP clients, Chinese businessman Qin Guoli (played by Lou Xuexian) and his wife Song Meiwei (played by Guo Zhiyan) attended the Chinatown Spring Festival Parade ribbon-cutting event,

On the way out, they were kidnapped by the mercenary organization “Arctic Wolf”. After receiving the information, the Vanguard Security Organization immediately arranged for two team members Lei Zhenyu (played by Qi Jia) and Zhang Kaixuan (played by Ai Lun) who were on vacation nearby to go to the rescue. After a fierce gun battle, Miya (played by Mu Qi Miya) drove to pick up the four people safely.

Type of scenes: Fighting scenes

Location: Chinatown, London

After briefly browsing the news and quickly washing up, Qi Jia picked up the script on the bedside table and went out, reading as he walked.

This fight scene is the most important scene in the entire London scene. Moreover, he made a bet with Cheng Long the night before.

Therefore, Qi Jia had to get himself into the state as quickly as possible and not allow himself to make any mistakes.

Enter the elevator and go down to the lobby. As soon as I get out of the elevator door, the assistant comes to greet me.

“Brother, have breakfast. I’ll cool it down for you.”

“Thank you.” Qi Jia took the soy milk and drank it. It was just warm enough. After drinking a few sips, he suddenly stopped and looked at the assistant in surprise.

“You said you helped me blow it cool? Could it be that this is all filled with your saliva?”

The assistant rolled his eyes, speechless.

“Am I that disgusting? I use…”

Before she finished her words, she heard the stylist beside her jumping up and down and cursing.

“You old fool, who spilled soy milk on my hair dryer?”

Qi Jia’s hands trembled, and he looked at the assistant in shock, saying in disbelief,

“You are such a talented person!”

“Hey, what are you doing? Are you suspecting me of doing this?”

The assistant cried out that she was wronged, and quickly took out a small fan from her bag to explain: “Do you think I look mentally retarded? I was using a small fan to blow air for you.”

Tang Jili suddenly appeared in front of Qi Jia from nowhere, grabbed him, and shouted anxiously,

“Makeup teacher, come over here and give Qi Jia some battle-damaged makeup. Also, costume teacher, quickly bring Qi Jia’s combat uniform for him to change into.”

“Why are you changing into combat uniforms? Director, aren’t we supposed to wear suits in this scene?” Qi Jia was inexplicably dragged to the styling area by him.

“Take a few makeup photos for the press release. There will also be a press conference after the opening ceremony. The mayor of London and the bosses of three British cinema chains will also be present. Brother Long wants you to accept interviews from foreign media.”

Wow~ Qi Jia was shocked. This is such a big deal. The filming hasn’t even started yet and the big boss of the theater chain has already come here after smelling the food.

After putting on their makeup and desert-colored combat uniforms, Qi Jia and Cheng Long took both long and short guns and posed in various positions according to the photographer’s request.

I took a few sets of makeup photos, which will be used for publicity.

At around seven in the morning, the crew arrived in Chinatown. As soon as they got off the car, Qi Jia was shocked by the situation on the scene.

The opening ceremony was filled with onlookers, and hundreds of British police officers in green vests stood in front of the crowd, ready for action.

All media outlets set up their cameras and aimed them at the motorcade.

Buzz buzz buzz ~ A propeller sound came from above his head. Qi Jia looked up and saw a police helicopter flying quickly over the opening ceremony site and hovering on guard.

When Cheng Long got off the car, there was a warm welcome.

From old ladies in their eighties to children of several years old, they all waved their hands excitedly and shouted,

“Jackie!”

“Jackie!”

The surging crowd knocked the police’s hats off, forcing the police to quickly hold hands and form a human wall to desperately block the crazy crowd.

At the same time, the flashbulbs of various media flashed rapidly, making Chinatown in the early morning as bright as day.

It was the first time that Qi Jia truly felt what it meant to be an international superstar.

Brother Cheng Long’s influence is unmatched not only in China, but also in the international arena, there are only a handful of people who can be compared with him.

Cheng Long was also very happy to return to the set, and he waved and blew kisses to the fans around him.

After the opening ceremony, at the press conference nearby, Qi Jia met the Mayor of London, who loves chasing stars rather than government affairs, and the presidents of the three largest cinema chains in the UK.

Cheng Long and these people obviously knew each other for a long time. He opened his arms and hugged them warmly from a distance. After greeting each other, he began to introduce Qi Jia.

“Qi Jia, this is the Mayor of London, Mr. Boris Johnson”

“This is Cineworld CEO, Eduardo Acuña.”

“This is Mark Way, president of Odeon.”

“This is Tim Richards, President and CEO of Vue”

Finally, Cheng Long patted Qi Jia on the shoulder and said to the four people in front of him,

“Old friends, this is Qi Jia, a Chinese actor I am very optimistic about.

He is very good at fighting, and in this movie, he will replace me and put on a wonderful fighting scene for everyone.”

The four of them smiled and nodded at Qi Jia, but there was a hint of doubt in their eyes. It was obvious that they didn’t believe that this young guy could replace Cheng Long.

After a few people greeted each other, the reporters came in and the press conference started immediately.

At the press conference, a group of foreign reporters kept asking Cheng Long questions. At this moment, everyone became the big brother’s foil.

Later, under the guidance of the eldest brother, some shots were given to Qi Jia, but the foreigners were not familiar with this new actor from China.

So most of the questions asked are nonsense like what do you think of London, whether you like London or not.

Just as Tang Jili was about to stand up and reiterate the key points of the press conference interview, a female reporter suddenly raised her hand and stood up and asked,

“Hello Mr. Qi, I am a reporter from Daily Mail Online.

I would like to ask, last year there was a Chinese actor who rejected the Disney movie script “Mulan”. Is that you?”

As soon as she asked this question, the indifferent eyes of the reporters around her suddenly became sharp and they all looked at Qi Jia.

Even the Mayor of London and the bosses of the three cinema chains, who had initially been indifferent to Qi Jia, looked at him with interest.

When this news came out last year, it was a hot topic on the Internet for a long time, because at that time the Mulan crew was in the global casting period.

Actors from all over the world were trying their best to join the crew as a minor role, but foreigners suddenly heard that a young Chinese actor actually rejected the personal invitation of the director of Mulan.

This news immediately aroused the curiosity of many people.

So, when the female reporter asked this question, everyone at the scene had this reaction.

After Qi Jia listened attentively to the translator beside him, he sat up straight, smiled at the female reporter, nodded and said,

“I originally rejected the Mulan crew’s script for a character named Chen Honghui. If that’s what you’re asking, it was indeed me.”

Before Qi Jia finished speaking, there was a big commotion at the scene.

Although they did not understand Chinese, they all understood what nodding meant. After the translator repeated Qi Jia’s words, the commotion at the scene suddenly turned into an uproar.

The media, who were originally not interested in Qi Jia, now turned their cameras and microphones to him.
