I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

Wei Yanwu might have been reluctant at first, but he had to obey because his brother, the emperor, had issued an order. Otherwise, he would be served on the washboard and have to take pictures...

But now, with a group of old brothers acting with him, Wei Yanwu's interest suddenly perked up, recalling the days when he was wandering around the world. It's not bad to be able to reminisce about his youth in a movie now.

Of course, the point is that Wei Yanwu has long known that he has more roles than his old buddies, which means that he has more opportunities to show that he is a master and appears on screen more often.

This kid Chen Qi, after all, is on the side of his uncle. He is assigned some of the most important roles. I really don't know what kind of hero role this kid will be given.

"Well, Lao Wei, and Madam Wen Yue, your role forms have been ordered, please come this way."

Chen Qi also held back a smile as he handed two character lists to Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue. After the two received them, their expectant expressions suddenly stiffened, and later they became suspicious.

"…landlady?"

"Landlord?"

The couple read out their characters' occupations together, then subconsciously looked up at Chen Qi, only to find that Chen Qi had already quietly walked several meters away under the protection of Tallulah and Saria.

"——Chi Xiao! Draw your sword!"

Old Wei's face turned dark, and he almost subconsciously used his pipe to emit a red sword energy, but it missed. Chen Qi quickly pulled up Tallulah and Saria and ran, not giving Old Wei any chance to hit him.

Of course, Lao Wei missed the target on purpose. Apart from anything else, he would never have tried to hurt Tallulah. He was just expressing his dissatisfaction in this way.

"What a great skill!" Huai Tianpei and Chong Yue, who were standing by, noticed the light steps of Chen Qi as he ran away carrying Tallulah and Saria. They cheered in their hearts and thought that their trip was worthwhile.

It’s just… I don’t know how capable Director Chen Qi is. I hope I can see it clearly this time.

Chapter 202: Second Brother: I gave up the idea of ​​possessing Chen Qi directly

Chen Qi had basically finalized the roles, and Longmen also started to get busy, especially for all the martial arts masters who came here for Chen Qi. Although the martial arts conference was just a misunderstanding, most of the masters decided to stay for the time being with the idea of ​​“since we are here, we can’t come here in vain”.

After all, Longmen is not bad, and it has developed very well. Now all the masters have gathered together, and an arena has been set up. Even masters like Wei Yanwu and Huai Tianpei are here. For many people who have retired from the martial arts world, they will not feel lonely at all with so many "colleagues" together.

Especially at some point, the fight between Chen Qi and Huai Tianpei outside Longmen made many keen masters aware of the profound martial arts of both sides. Now that the news that Chen Qi was going to shoot "Kung Fu" had long been public, the masters still tacitly came to join in the fun.

For this reason, the next day when Chen Qi and Lin Yuxia went to see the tube-shaped building needed for filming, they were quickly surrounded by a group of experts.

What Chen Qi, Lin Yuxia and others did not expect was that these masters came to Chen Qi not to fight with him, but to observe the filming of "Kung Fu".

"Most of us came here because of the rumors about the martial arts conference. Although these rumors are just fabrications, our trip was not in vain. It is also a great honor to have fought with Duke Wei."

"Now that this movie has gathered many masters from Longmen, we can hardly hide our curiosity. Director Chen Qi, please allow us to watch from the sidelines. If we miss the opportunity to see the masters show off their moves, we will regret it."

One of the masters directly explained the reason to Chen Qi, but before Chen Qi agreed, the masters who had retired for a while came one after another to plead for mercy:

"Please Director Chen Qi agree to this."

"If I miss the scene of so many masters gathering together, I might die of heartache!"

"It would be great if you just come and watch when the show starts. We all know Qinggong and can watch it from a place where it can't be filmed!"

"Okay, okay! Dear seniors! How about this, my movie happens to need a lot of extras, and I think you guys are perfect for it!"

Faced with the requests of these seniors, Chen Qi really couldn't refuse, so he immediately made an alternative plan - to use these seniors as extras!

Chen Qi didn't dare to think of this idea at first. These seniors were all masters, and it was not realistic to ask them to be extras in the play. Chen Qi was worried that they would not do it - but now, this can actually meet the reasonable observation requirements of these seniors.

Anyway, the requirements for extras are not too high, and most of these seniors are indeed old, from all walks of life, both men and women, which is in line with the various types of people in "Kung Fu".

"When you perform, you just need to show how you live your daily life. I believe that all of you seniors have experience in seclusion, right? In the movie, just treat yourself as an ordinary citizen, is there any problem?"

"Let Director Chen Qi send you!"

"...Should I say, you are worthy of me? These martial artists all listened to your arrangements, and you didn't even agree to pay them."

Lin Yuxia, who came with Chen Qi, was also a little surprised. She thought that this matter would require Wei Yanwu to step in to resolve it, but she didn't expect that these seniors would be willing to listen to Chen Qi, a junior.

"That's because the fight between me and Master Huai was leaked... I don't know who was so kind as to post the video online. Now it's been forwarded so many times that I can't even find the original poster."

People who practice martial arts will admire those who are more accomplished than themselves, and in the eyes of these predecessors, Chen Qi can now be regarded as the one with "more accomplished". These predecessors came here partly to watch the final fight scene between Chen Qi and Huai Tianpei, so of course they would not refuse.

"By the way, Yuxia, you said you wanted to participate in this "Kung Fu" film, right? I have selected a role that is absolutely suitable for you."

"Oh? So fast? It's not some clown, is it?"

Lin Yuxia was delighted at first, but then she thought of something and immediately became alert. She looked at Chen Qi suspiciously and said:

"I remember that you asked Officer Wei to play landlord yesterday, and he was so angry that he almost chopped you to death with the Chixiao sword technique."

"It's the same with my dad. You gave him a deaf role, and Dadi played a blind man. You formed a group called 'Tiancan Dique', which pissed them off. Dadi even used rap to scold you all night on Penguin Logistics."

"So what? Can I arrange a 'Ah Zhen' for you? Even if you're willing to play it, I can't bear to do it." Chen Qi also had a bitter look on his face. There were indeed some deliberate ugly roles in the movie "Kung Fu", but Chen Qi would not let Lin Yuxia play an ugly role.

Although Madam Wen Yue's image was somewhat damaged, Chen Qi took Madam Wen Yue's reputation into consideration and made some modifications to her role as the landlady to ensure that Madam Wen Yue's moral integrity would not be ruined...

What? What should Lao Wei do? Lao Wei's moral integrity is worthless, so it's fine if it's broken. Maybe the Emperor of Yan would be happy to see such a scene.

The role that Chen Qi gave to Lin Yuxia was a "mute girl". In other words, she had a past experience with Ah Xing in the movie and was considered an important role that represented the justice and kindness that remained in Ah Xing's heart. Although she didn't have many scenes, the emptiness of this role was very important.

"I thought about a few of my acquaintances. Chen Huijie is not suitable because she is too fierce. Xingxiong and Shi Huaiya are not suitable for this role either, so I will give this role to you."

"Basically, Yuxia, you are the face of our film. Although you don't have any lines, your image is very important."

"Hmph~ You have good taste."

Lin Yuxia was very satisfied with this arrangement of an important role even though she had no lines, especially since she was the only one among the current cast who did not dress herself ugly.

Lin Yuxia left happily, and Chen Qi turned to distribute the script to several leading actors. After everything was ready, they could start performing "Kung Fu" immediately.

"You use your pen as a blade, and every word strikes the heart. As a fellow human being, you have chosen a rather unexpected path."

At this time, Chen Qi suddenly heard a figure not far away. He turned around and saw a figure emitting black mist. There was a chessboard in front of him, and he invited Chen Qi and said:

"Same fellow, how about a plate?"

"Sorry, I don't understand." Chen Qi immediately recognized who this "person" was, the second brother who was causing trouble everywhere in the plot. And Chen Qi soon understood what the "threat" Zuo Le had mentioned before was.

"What a pity." The second brother did not force Chen Qi, and his attitude towards Chen Qi was quite friendly. After a moment of silence, he said lightly:

"Then, Chen Qi, is this the name you walk in the world under? Why did you choose such a name? Why don't you walk on this land under your own name?"

"Do you think that if you take a human name, these people will also treat you as a human? You are now allowing the emperor to use your talents, but do you think that if you respond to the expectations of these humans now, they will regard you as a fellow tribesman in the future?"

"If you had never exposed yourself, then perhaps it would still be possible... But now, your true identity has been exposed. In the eyes of these humans, you are no longer a member of the same race, but an 'alien'."

"There is a saying in Yan Country, 'Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.' Do you really think that your current obedience can win their trust and forgiveness?"

At this point, the second brother's tone was filled with hatred and anger, and he said coldly:

"At first, 'we' (years old) thought so too, but humans turned away from us without hesitation, and made us, who helped them drive out the giant beasts and other 'gods', slaves under their surveillance."

"Do you think you can hide? Sooner or later, they will kill you. The day you really show your true abilities, the day when you are no longer useful, they will definitely kill you, just like they betrayed us back then."

"Me? I'm different. In a sense, I'm also a royal relative." Chen Qi didn't care about his second brother's instigation at all. He knew that his second brother wanted to persuade him, but Chen Qi would never do the same thing as his second brother.

"Naive." The second brother also sneered at Chen Qi's words, but he didn't dare to act rashly now, especially since Longmen could be described as a dragnet. He only had one "black piece" to use in Longmen. One less piece would be used, so he had to cherish it.

But now, the second brother treated Chen Qi exceptionally well. Even though his eldest brother was there to support him, he did not give up. Obviously, he was very confident in his plan and was sure that he could take over Chen Qi's body.

At that time, as long as Chen Qi's "power" is copied, his influence will definitely increase greatly! He can learn from Chen Qi and publish countless articles or works that are unfavorable to Yan Country. At that time, it will be difficult for Yan Country not to be shocked.

Of course, this has a prerequisite, that is, he can successfully possess the body. He still remembers Chen Qi's "Lion Roar Skill". This move has a certain restraining effect on evil spirits, and Chen Qi does not need to use his skills, his own body can achieve this effect. If he is not careful, his current state will be shaken away by Chen Qi.

"You will understand me sooner or later, my fellow man. When you realize that humans cannot be trusted, only our kind can trust each other."

"…I'm so sorry. I've spent my whole life proving that people can get along well."

Chen Qi also shrugged his shoulders and let his second brother slowly retreat in front of him. Now that he knew who his opponent was, he became more vigilant.

It seems that the second brother is unlikely to take action in a short period of time. I have to find a way to scare him. It would be best if he would never think of possessing his body again.

The proficiency of Tathagata Palm...seems like it has to be maxed out. Chen Qi also made a decision in his heart. Facing the current crisis, he has no choice but to improve himself to the level of a master.

Chapter 203: "Kung Fu" starts filming, is the whole Longmen embarrassed?

"Oh? Has filming started? I know that Director Chen Qi finished filming the movie "To the Moon" in just one month. They have already arrived at Longmen so quickly and started preparing to film "Kung Fu"?"

In the palace, the Emperor of Yan State had also received the news that Chen Qi had arrived at Longmen and had started filming "Kung Fu". The Yan State court had just finished studying Chen Qi's "Going to the Moon" and had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief, but this news was enough to make all the ministers work overtime.

Ever since Chen Qi planned to shoot a martial arts film and contributed two extremely profound martial arts secrets, which were highly recognized by the military officers of Yan State and Chongyue himself, Chen Qi's martial arts film has received unprecedented attention from the court.

"Has Chen Qi made any moves in Longmen recently?"

"Yes, Director Chen Qi asked all the people who went to Longmen to gather together with the help of Rat King and Wei Yanwu, as if they were acting as extras." A person from the Dali Temple also reported in time:

"In addition, in addition to Wei Yanwu and his wife, Huai Tianpei and his daughter, as well as Zuo Le and Taihe whom we sent to monitor, as well as the Rat King, the Great Emperor and Mr. Li, have all joined the filming of this movie."

"Director Chen Qi gave Huai Hu, Tai He, and a man named Shang Zhong a new martial arts manual each, and asked Zhong Yue to personally teach the three of them how to master martial arts. It seems that these martial arts will be useful for filming."

"Oh? You took out three more secret manuals? Director Chen Qi is really generous. He doesn't keep any secrets."

The Emperor of Yan was also a little surprised. The shock brought by the Lion Roar and Tai Chi alone had already amazed the military officers of Yan. They directly put these two secret books into the armory. This was a martial art that even Chongyue was amazed at, so they could not ignore it.

Now Chen Qi casually took out three more secret manuals. Although they were only used for filming, for a martial artist, it was a great fortune to be able to learn a new martial art. If it was some advanced martial art, then Chen Qi was too generous...

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Zuo Le said that these three books are only about fists, kicks and stick techniques. They don't have the profound internal strength and power of Tai Chi and Lion Roar." The people from the Dali Temple reported the same thing, and then continued:

"Zuo Le, Tai He, and Duke Wei have all sent letters. Your Majesty, please do not worry. With them in charge of Longmen, they will definitely keep Longmen safe."

The guarantee of Zuo Le and others naturally reassured the Emperor of Yan State. Although Yan State was very concerned about the actions of his second brother, it was not the case that the situation could not be controlled. At most, the situation would become more troublesome.

However, what the Emperor of Yan State did not know was that the guarantee from Zuo Le and others was not only to reassure him, but more importantly to prevent the Emperor from sending more people to Longmen - this would effectively prevent their current embarrassing situation from spreading within the court and would not be known by their families.

Although their current images will be revealed after the broadcast of "Kung Fu", they still hold out a glimmer of hope... At least, after putting on makeup and making themselves look ugly, they can still insist that the characters in the movie are not them.

"I'm sorry, sir, you have to play a funny role in this movie..." Taihe said to Zuo Le beside him while having his makeup done.

"No, compared to me, Taihe, you seem to have a harder time." Zuo Le took off Simuitai's black official uniform, and put on makeup. He watched his handsome face begin to become tacky, and his originally refreshing hair was waxed for some unknown reason. At this moment, Zuo Le had only one way to comfort himself, and that was to compare his misery.

"When Director Chen Qi originally gave you the martial arts secrets of 'Iron Fist', I was thinking that such a powerful boxing style would be perfect for you to stand out. I never thought that your character would be..."

"——Compared to my subordinates, Lord Wei and Madam Wen Yue have worked harder." However, Taihe really didn't want to talk about his character in the movie. Compared to his own highlights, these could be put aside for now.

Speaking of character settings, Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue are probably the most entertaining characters in this movie right now... Taihe felt balanced all of a sudden when he thought of these two powerful people, who might be even more embarrassed than him in this movie.

"I just hope my father won't see this movie in Yumen... Otherwise, I don't know how people will judge me then."

Zuo Le had no choice but to comfort himself in this way. There was still some time before they went on stage, and the beginning of the movie "Kung Fu" did not introduce the characters they played, but the background of the movie.

The background is similar to that of Young and Dangerous. Chen Qi chose the film in the turbulent times when Longmen was just under the jurisdiction of Yan State and the new order was established not long ago. At that time, gangs like the Young and Dangerous filmed by Chen Qi were everywhere, and in Kung Fu, there was also a similar gang called the Axe Gang.

At the beginning of the movie, in order to explain the background of that chaotic era and to highlight the power of the Axe Gang, Chen Qi arranged a scene in which the gang openly broke into the Guard Bureau, in which Chen Huijie, Xingxiong and other members of the Guard Bureau made friendly appearances.

The movie begins with a set of long shots. Inspector Chen, played by Chen Huijie, is sitting in the office of the Guard Bureau. Although the other members of the Guard Bureau are fully armed and standing upright, everyone's eyes are silently staring at one place, and from there come bursts of dull beatings and screams.

However, as for the fight inside the Guard Bureau, none of these fully armed members of the Guard Bureau dared to step forward to stop it, until the camera shifted to the plaque with the words "Crime Killer" hanging on the wall of the Guard Bureau.

"boom!"

As a member of the Royal Guards smashed heavily on the plaque, Chen Huijie shuddered as he was immersed in the role. Then he saw a man who seemed to be the leader coming out from a group of people dressed as gangsters.

"Who else?!"

However, after the leader's harsh shout, the members of the Guards Bureau, who were supposed to punish all the evildoers, did not dare to speak out when faced with the scene of their colleagues being beaten up in the Guards Bureau and justice being trampled upon.

"Such a beautiful woman was brought here by you just because she spit on the ground."

"Is there any more royal law? Is there any more law?"

"Your chief has to give face to our Crocodile Gang, otherwise he can't be the chief."

"...I have to say that Uncle Dong portrayed the temperament of this gangster boss really well, and it looks quite like what he was like back then."

On the other side of the camera, Chen Qi, who was watching this scene at the moment, was also watching Uncle Dong's performance together with the Rat King, Lin Yuxia and others who had not yet appeared. Uncle Dong's adopted son "Jie" also came specially to watch Uncle Dong's "coming out performance".

"Uncle Dong was also a good worker under me in the past. When he and I first met, he was even crazier than he is portraying here." The Rat King couldn't help but chime in, and couldn't help but smile as he saw his old friend reminiscing about his youth in a long-unseen way of acting.

When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. The Rat King is a gangster, but he knows that gangsters have no future. However, this does not prevent him and old people like Uncle Dong from reminiscing about the past.

This is also the reason why Uncle Dong is willing to play such a small role as a guest, just to satisfy his desire. The boss of the Axe Gang in the plot is someone else.

During the filming, as Uncle Dong left the Guard Bureau and faced the empty street, he immediately realized something was wrong.

As the guards behind closed all the doors and windows, the camera turned again, and a black mass of gang members in suits, top hats and axes had surrounded Uncle Dong and a few others.

The person walking in the front was the leader of the Axe Gang in a suit. Everyone present was very familiar with him - the boss of the Carp Detective Agency, Lao Li.

"I didn't expect that Lao Li could look so decent in a suit." Ah Zai, watching Lao Li on camera in the screening room, was also full of curiosity. He had never expected that Lao Li's first acting role would be a gangster boss, and he really acted like one.

"Maybe it's because Lao Li receives so many commissions that he's used to cheating people?" Huaihu and Hong nodded. They had no respect for Lao Li at all and started to comment on him with a smile.

"Do you remember our office? Wasn't it because Lao Li cheated the construction company that chose the wrong location that he rented it at such a low price? Speaking of acting, is this Lao Li's specialty?"

"That's true."
