Chapter 701 Explosive Update 8
"No need?" Ruan Qi blinked in shock. "No merit, no reward. I can't accept it."
"Just take it." Wei Jiaming took a sip of his health tea. "After all, it's all our sect's property. Your master is the head, so it's normal for him to give you this land. My master said he didn't see you and Xiaogouzi yesterday. When I have time later, let me take you two back to headquarters."
"Headquarters?" Ruan Qi raised her head curiously. "Brother Jiaming, where is the sect's headquarters?"
"It's actually just a courtyard. Nowadays, there are high-rise buildings everywhere. There's no such thing as a sect or headquarters anymore."
Wei Jiaming said as he sent her the address of the Siheyuan on his phone. "If you encounter any problems that you can't solve in the future, go to the Siheyuan. Many of my uncles and uncles go there to play mahjong when they have nothing to do."
"Play mahjong?" The little girl's eyelids twitched twice.
"Yes," Wei Jiaming nodded. "The elders had nothing better to do, so they opened a mahjong club in the courtyard. Several of the female senior sisters also like square dancing, so they set up a dance troupe in the courtyard. I heard they even won first place in the community group dance competition last month."
Ruan Qi: “…”
The lofty image of the master's sect gradually collapsed.
…
Because music videos for "First Love" and "One Thought" were being filmed, Shen Wenqian and Jian Guoqiang decided to film all of Ruan Qi's scenes together after consulting with the crew.
So for the next week, the little girl remained extremely busy, sleeping only four hours a day.
Jian Guoqiang originally thought that under such extremely high-pressure working conditions, Ruan Qi's performance would be problematic.
What he didn't expect was that the girl looked haggard and tired. But once she got into the role, she looked radiant as if she had taken some medicine.
What’s even more surprising is that her acting skills have improved rapidly during such non-stop filming.
Jian Guoqiang looked at the girl who was crying silently in the camera but made everyone feel heartbroken, and couldn't help but sigh.
"This girl is such a treasure!"
The screenwriter sitting next to him nodded in agreement.
"If you keep polishing it, it will become something great."
Ruan Qi had no idea that Director Jian, who usually scolded her the most, was praising her with a hundred non-repeated words.
At this moment, she fell down in the heavy rain, crying her heart out, as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.
When Xi Jiu followed Bo Ye to the set, he saw this scene.
Although he knew it was a movie filming, Xi Jiu still felt depressed when he saw the little girl's eyes full of grief.
He tried hard to restrain the urge to go over and hug her, and stood quietly on the set looking at her.
This was the first time Xi Jiu saw Ruan Qi act live.
Unlike her usual delicate and well-behaved appearance, the little girl in front of the camera was crying and looking messy, but her whole body was glowing.
She just sat there and attracted everyone's attention, making everyone's emotions fluctuate with her every move.
Xi Jiu gradually became fascinated by what he saw.
It wasn't until Jian Guoqiang's "cut" sounded on the set that he came back to his senses.
"Ruan Qi," Jian Guoqiang shouted at the top of his lungs, holding up a megaphone. "Your performance was good just now. Do it again with more emotion! Cry your heart out!"
The little girl, whose eyes had turned into rabbit-like shapes from crying, nodded while sobbing.
She sat on the ground, all wet, closed her eyes and adjusted her mood.
“Action——!”
When the board fell, Ruan Qi seemed like a different person in an instant.
Bo Ye, who witnessed an actor's split personality for the first time, raised his eyebrows in surprise.
A female prop master from the crew saw his reaction and covered her mouth and laughed.
"Doesn't it feel weird?" she asked.
Bo also nodded.
"That's normal," the elder sister said with a smile. "Many soldiers at the base are watching for the first time, and they all have the same reaction as you."
Xi Jiu, who had been looking at the little girl, suddenly turned around.
"A lot of people come to watch Ruan Qi filming?" he asked.
"Yeah. This is a military base, so everyone comes to check it out after training to join in the fun."
Speaking of this, the prop master's face showed a bit of pride, "They all praised the leading actors for their good performances!"
Xi Jiu automatically heard "the several leading actors performed well" as "Ruan Qi performed well".
He raised his lips slightly, and his cold features became much softer.
Soon, the crew's producer discovered the existence of the big boss Bo Ye.
He quickly walked over to greet the boss.
"Captain Bo, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Bo made a 'hush' gesture.
The producer then remembered that Ruan Qi was still acting, and he quickly lowered his voice, "Captain Bo, are you here?"
"Just take a look." Bo also shook hands with him, then pointed at Xi Jiu and introduced him, "I'm your ninth brother, last name Xi."
The producer of "Blade" came from the China Film Studio, was a public employee, and had some understanding of the circles in the imperial capital.
When he heard the surname Xi, his scalp went numb.
There is only one person in the entire imperial capital who can be called "Ninth Brother" by Bo and whose surname is Xi.
The producer broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the rumors about that person.
He didn't even dare to shake hands with anyone, and only bowed slightly, "So it's Master Xi, my apologies, my apologies."
Xi Jiu said "hmm" lightly and turned his attention back to the girl in front of the camera.
The producer couldn't tell his emotions and stood there nervously, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Jian Guoqiang started shouting again with a loudspeaker.
"Cut! This one's passed! Next one right away! Hurry!"
All the staff members immediately rushed forward to surround Ruan Qi.
The next scene to be filmed is the one where the heroine Qi Yixuan is devastated after losing her father, and the male instructor Tan Yi wrestles with her in the rain in order to motivate her.
This section mainly involves Zhan Rong throwing Ruan Qi to the ground like a sandbag.
Xi Xi, who had been following Ruan Qi as a bodyguard, started to twitch his eyelids when he saw this scene.
He had already seen Xi Jiu standing opposite him, but because the couple's relationship was not public, Xi Xi did not go over to say hello.
When Xixi thought about the love that her master had for his wife, and then about the next scene to be filmed, she felt sick.
Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
When Zhan Rong in front of the camera grabbed Ruan Qi's arm and threw her hard over his shoulder, Xi Jiu's face changed instantly.
The delicate and soft little girl was thrown into the rain, splashing countless water.
Then Zhan Rong picked her up again and threw her forward like a sandbag.
Bang!
Xi Jiu's face was covered with frost.
One more time—bang!
The temperature around Xi Jiu dropped to zero in an instant.
The producer standing nearby felt the anger emanating from the man and his face turned pale with fright.
He looked at Bo Ye as if asking for help.
Bo also coughed, nudged the tense man with his elbow, and whispered, "Nine Brother, hold back a bit, you're scaring people silly."
