Chapter 378 Big Brother, Playing Is Real (Ch 378)

“Vanguard, three games and one shot, start!”

As the countdown ended,

Camera No. 1 slowly moved back from near to far, revealing the figures of Qi Jia and Alan hiding behind the tree.

Allen first made a quick move of leaning forward to investigate, then pressed the headset to pretend he was reporting, while reciting the lines,

“We are in place.”

After pausing for two or three seconds, he looked at Qi Jia behind him and asked,

“Did you bring a gun?”

When he said the second line, Camera 2 immediately followed up, using a medium lens to capture both of them at the same time, but the focus was on Qi Jia’s face.

Lei Zhenyu, played by Qi Jia, has a resolute face, with the professionalism and calmness unique to retired soldiers, and said in a somewhat doubtful tone,

“What kind of gun should I take on vacation?”

After he finished the first line, his calm expression remained unchanged, but his pupils slightly dilated, and he tilted his head back slightly, looking up and down at Allen.

Through these three tiny body languages, the character’s slightly surprised reaction is shown.

“You brought it?” Qi Jia’s tone also changed, from doubt to a little surprise.

Although Allen had his back to Qi Jia, as a professional drama actor, he was very sensitive to the lines.

So, without even watching it, just by listening to these two lines, he knew that Qi Jia must have handled this part very well!

However, he was not bad either. He turned around and immediately took over Qi Jia’s scene.

In front of the monitor, Cheng Long and Tang Jili watched the two people acting and nodded with satisfaction.

“Crack!”

“Not bad, not bad”

Tang Jili decisively called out “Cut” and the filming went through in one take, which was a good omen.

Cheng Long stood up from the monitor, walked into the scene, and began to explain the action design of the next fight scene to Qi Jia, Allen, and a foreign extra.

Ten minutes later,

Qi Jia, Allen and the foreign extras who played the guards were ready and returned to their respective positions.

“Come on, all departments, pay attention!”

“Camera No. 2 focuses on Qi Jia and Alun’s faces, and Camera No. 1 follows and shoots their backs. Pay attention to the amplitude!”

“Vanguard, three scenes, two shots, start!”

As soon as the script supervisor finished clapping, camera No. 2 instantly focused on Qi Jia and Alan’s faces. The two exchanged glances.

Then Allen walked towards the guard at the door.

Qi Jia followed closely behind, and while Allen was talking to the guard, he went around from behind the truck to the side of the guard.

The foreign actor who played the mercenary saw this and realized something was wrong. He immediately raised his hand to stop it, but it was too late.

“Unit 2, keep up! Close-up of Qi Jia, quick!” Tang Jili grabbed the intercom and shouted loudly.

In an instant, Qi Jia followed Cheng Long’s movements and wrapped his hands around the foreign extras’ arms, crossing his hands to lock his throat to prevent him from shouting.

At the same time, he used his waist to exert force, grabbed his collar with both hands, and threw him over his shoulder, directly to the ground.

Bang!

The sturdy body hit the ground hard, making a dull sound.

The mercenary played by a foreign extra immediately raised his hand to resist. Qi Jia took advantage of the situation and grabbed his palm. He turned around and clamped his arm with his feet, twisting it hard.

The foreign extra immediately pretended to be in pain as if his hand was broken and opened his mouth to scream, but at this moment, Allen took over and kicked him in the temple with a fake move.

This series is a classic Hong Kong-style martial arts action design, simple and beautiful, emphasizing the tacit cooperation between the actors.

After Allen kicked them, the foreign extras’ heads immediately tilted and they cooperated and fainted.

“Okay, okay.” Cheng Long looked at the monitor and saw Qi Jia’s smooth and unobstructed movements. He nodded with satisfaction.

But then he sighed with some regret.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” Tang Jili thought he felt that something was not good enough and was going to try again.

“No, I just think it’s a pity that action movies are declining in this era. Otherwise, with Qi Jia’s skills, it’s not impossible for him to win an Oscar like I did back then.”

Cheng Long shook his head and said that Qi Jia’s neat and nimble skills reminded him that he also made it into Hollywood with his own hands.

He eventually became the only Chinese to win the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement.

However, in today’s world film market, no matter how hard he tries, action movies have indeed declined, and fewer and fewer audiences like to watch them.

It would be very difficult for Qi Jia to be like him and break into Hollywood with his own fists.

Tang Jili wanted to say something, but Qi Jia and Allen had already finished their performance, so he could only shout “cut”.

“Crack!”

After hearing the director yell “Cut”, the crowd around cheered and applauded.

First he was flying cards and chopping Coke, then he is now performing smooth martial arts moves. The audience at the scene has been completely captivated by Qi Jia.

“Thank you, thank you everyone”

Qi Jia clasped his hands together and bowed to express his gratitude to all around him. Then he stepped forward to dust off the extras and said with concern,

“Man, are you ok?” He would just say this.

The foreign extras hurriedly waved their hands and said, “I’m fne, I’m fne”

“Okay, all departments, pack up and go into the room to prepare for the filming of the scenes on the set,” Tang Jili said.

The crew began to move the lighting equipment into the room. While everyone was preparing, Qi Jia also familiarized himself with the scene’s movements in advance.

At this time, Cheng Long suddenly waved and called him over, saying,

“Qi Jia, the next part is a big fight, just act freely. The actors acting with you are all experienced, so don’t worry that they won’t be able to follow your lead.”

What does free play mean? It means really playing, without any fancy moves.

Qi Jia exclaimed in his heart, wow, he is indeed the big brother, he plays with reality. Although the risk factor is relatively high, since the big brother has already spoken, then he has no choice but to go for it.

“Don’t worry, big brother. I understand. I will try my best not to hurt anyone.” Qi Jia said.

Although he has never practiced martial arts seriously, thanks to the action attributes he copied from his eldest brother, his skills are much better than those of ordinary martial arts stars. If he doesn’t know how to control the strength of his blows, he can really hurt people.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, his elder brother said in dissatisfaction,

“Who asked you to show mercy? Just hit me as hard as you can. I want you to fight me to the death!”

“Fight with all your might. If anything gets broken or injured, the crew will pay for it. You don’t have to pay a penny.”

Qi Jia’s expression was stern, and he quickly nodded and said, “I understand, big brother. I will not show mercy.”

“Yeah,” Cheng Long patted Qi Jia’s shoulder and said, “Don’t feel any psychological burden, because I told them the same thing, and they won’t show mercy to you either.”

After Cheng Long finished speaking, he didn’t look at Qi Jia’s bitter expression, but walked away with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Qi Jia glanced at the muscular guys standing by and remembered what Cheng Long had said before, that these guys were all actors with solid skills.

I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. No matter how good I was at fighting, a good tiger could not defeat a pack of wolves.

“Hiss~ You’re trying to kill me!”

Qi Jia stroked his chin and whispered to Alan who was walking towards him, “Let me discuss something. There are too many shots of the living room. I tend to be low-key and don’t like to be in the limelight. Let’s switch scenes. I’ll go to the kitchen and you come to the living room.”

Allen looked at him with disdain and gave him a middle finger.

“Do you still think I’m a fool? My name is Zhang Kaixuan now, not Zhang Kaizi. Do you still think I’m stupid? You’re risking your life in this scene.”
