"If we can really witness this universe in the future, then we can no longer just bear witness but return empty-handed. We should not just be witnesses and martyrs, but after completing all this, successfully bring all useful information back to the earth. No matter what threats or opportunities there are outside the starry sky, we should give timely feedback and be prepared for the future."
"We look up at the starry sky not only because we yearn for it, but also so that more people on earth can see the wider universe like us."
"We should not forget the land we are standing on, which is where we came from; we should not forget to look at the stars, which is our goal... Our goal is to move forward for the land under our feet. This is perhaps what my friends and colleagues want to tell me the most." (Rating five stars)
Did she seem to have figured it out? Chen Qi looked at Kristen's film review and felt a little relieved. He had at least come out of his scientific research obsession a little. It seemed that the shots of the starry sky and the moon that Chen Qi had deliberately given to the film at the end were quite effective.
For many things, the more you desire them, once you get them, you will be ecstatic in the short term, but after a while you will find them boring, and in serious cases, you will even feel a sense of emptiness.
It’s like your family members have been instilling in you the idea of getting into a good university. But when you actually get in, many people will find that they have lost their goals. Without the next step to pursue, many people will be confused and don’t know why they were working hard.
Christen's current situation is quite similar. He had already seen the starry sky that he had always dreamed of when he was filming a movie. Christen also knew Chen Qi's "identity", so Christen knew very well that the starry sky outlined by Xi was most likely the real starry sky that Chen Qi had witnessed.
After realizing this, and staring at the starry sky for so long, Christen's original excitement had passed, and her intelligence once again took over. But she did not feel empty or depressed, instead she quickly found her next goal - that is, in the future, to convey the discovery of the starry sky to the Terra continent, and then extend the distance of exploring the universe again and again.
"This is bound to be another long-term project. Kristen obviously understands this, but at least now she knows not to be a rash martyr and to move forward with her feet on the ground."
"In the future, she will become an indispensable aid in our exploration of the secrets of the starry sky. She will make more outstanding contributions and appear in textbooks with a more positive image... maybe."
Saria slowly put down her phone. She felt that her goal had been achieved for her old friend, with whom she had parted ways but who seemed to have somewhat broken free from his almost insane obsession.
They don’t know whether Terra is ready to face the starry sky today, but at least Christen has found the next goal that is more meaningful than being a pioneer and a martyr. From this point of view, Saria has succeeded.
“Thanks to Director Chen Qi, you have changed Christen.”
"Rather than saying that I changed Christen, it's better to say that she now wants to explore the starry sky with all of you at Rhine Life." Chen Qi shook his head and did not accept Saria's thanks.
To Chen Qi, it would be best if Christen could change. In the past, no matter how much Christen, a "pioneer", achieved, she could not change the actions of the Rhine Life and the Columbian military under her management. If Chen Qi really wanted to evaluate, Christen's achievements were like the Potala Palace in his original world - it seemed glorious, but in fact, as long as you looked at the prison below, you would know what hell on earth was...
This is why Chen Qi does not deny that Christen is a pioneer, but does not appreciate her approach. Chen Qi does not want this land to have more experimental subjects like Ifrit and Rosemary... especially under the premise that their situation can be considered a "successful case".
"In the future, it won't be me who can guide her, but you, Saria. As a good friend of Miss Christen, you may return to Rhine Life in the future. By then, I hope you can stop her in time when she has any radical plans."
"But at least now we know that Christen still cares about you and everyone at Rhine Life. In the future, if you really accompany her to see the universe and come back successfully, I will probably be very happy too."
"...We will, Director Chen Qi."
Although Chen Qi's words seemed relaxed, it would take Terra many years to achieve the goal. However, Saria was full of confidence and smiled as she said to Chen Qi:
"As long as we work together as we did before, I believe we can achieve the future you talked about."
"But I still thank you for everything you have done for not letting this get out of hand. For this, I will practice my gratitude with my actions until the day I think I have successfully expressed my gratitude."
"Until then, I will entrust you with my life to assist, protect, and guide you."
Saria's words fell with great firmness. She was probably unusually excited. Otherwise, with her character "harder than diamond", she would seldom express her feelings so directly. Otherwise, the misunderstanding between her and Hemer that had lasted for so long would not be unresolved now.
However, Saria did not seem to notice that there were not only her and Chen Qi in the room. Her powerful words were also heard by everyone present who were originally happy about the excellent feedback of "Go to the Moon".
All of a sudden, Tallulah and Froststar looked up and glared at Saria with unfriendly eyes at what she had just said.
The sisters Nian and Xi reacted one after another, their eyes jumping back and forth between Saria and Chen Qi. Nian felt a little surprised, while Xi felt more dangerously cold.
Noticing everyone's rather piercing gazes, Chen Qi couldn't help but tremble all over. Seeing that Saria didn't seem to react at all, he had to pretend not to care and shifted everyone's attention to the present, saying:
"Everyone, let's go to the scene, okay?"
"Okay, I'll protect you, Director Chen Qi."
As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, Saria put her words into practice. Since Saria knew that something was threatening Chen Qi at Longmen, she has been staying by his side.
Saria didn't know that even if she protected Chen Qi so much, it would be meaningless to her second brother who was hiding, because Saria had no means to guarantee that she would not be possessed - the second brother also didn't want to possess Saria, he felt that a foreigner like Saria would definitely not be able to withstand the internal strength move like the Lion's Roar.
The second brother has a safer plan. If he wants to possess Chen Qi, he must first ensure that Chen Qi has no room to resist. So the best chance is to do it in the final fight.
In a duel between masters, it is normal to "fail". As long as Chen Qi does not have enough spare strength to resist the possession, then once he gets Chen Qi's "power", everything will be fine!
"I must obtain the most powerful 'wen' power in this world!" The second brother thought so in his heart. While watching the progress of the filming of "Kung Fu", he knew that this moment was not far away!
Chapter 225: The appearance of Fire Cloud Evil God, "Sui"'s response to his second brother
The filming of "Kung Fu" went smoothly. In the movie, the protagonist played by Chen Qi, whose life has not improved at all, still spends every day in self-abandonment, living a life that even he despises.
He once again met the "mute girl" played by Lin Yuxia, and this time, he finally recognized her. The mute girl played by Lin Yuxia did not blame Chen Qi for robbing her, but instead expressed in sign language that he had helped her in her childhood.
In the past, Chen Qi, who had practiced the Tathagata Palm, took the initiative to challenge the bullies who wanted to snatch the candy from Lin Yuxia in order to prevent others from bullying the deaf-mute Lin Yuxia. But in the end, the secret book of Tathagata Palm that he bought from the old beggar played by Zhong Yue with all his savings did not allow him to defeat the opponent, but instead suffered great humiliation.
Chen Qi, who knew that he had been cheated and suffered unprecedented humiliation, decided to become a bad guy from that day on.
But this time, facing the participant who changed his life in childhood, facing the candy handed to him by Lin Yuxia, Chen Qi, who now even looked down on himself, chose to throw the candy away.
He didn't have the face to face this pure girl. Facing her in the most depraved manner would only make Chen Qi feel unprecedented failure and shame.
In the end, knocking the candy away was like saying goodbye to the past. Chen Qi drove away the henchman played by Hong, and used the worst method to rudely drive away this kind person, so that he would not become a bad person like himself.
By the way, in this clip, Chen Qi has a scene where he hugs Lin Yuxia's waist and threatens her with a knife to pay. This scene makes Chen Qi face the stare of the Rat King who is watching the show... Chen Qi was already terrified, and after he knocked away the candy that Lin Yuxia gave him as a token of goodwill, he felt like the Rat King was going to kill him.
"No matter what, she is my precious daughter. Even if it's just acting, a father can't stand seeing his daughter being wronged..."
"It would be nice if Old Lin could give Huai Tianpei some of his ability to love his daughter... Unfortunately, it seems that there is no way to give it to him."
Of course, this was just Chen Qi's inner feeling. Huai Tianpei was extremely excited knowing that he was about to play against Wei Yanwu and his wife and Chen Qi.
He had already started filming "Kung Fu" and when he learned from Chen Qi that he was going to be the biggest villain, he had already been reviewing his martial arts wholeheartedly and adjusting his condition to ensure that he would have no regrets when fighting. His concern for Huai Hu was not as much as that of the Rat King for Lin Yuxia.
And Chen Qi in the movie had his turning point - Lao Li, who escaped from Wei Yanwu and his wife in a panic, did not give up revenge as expected. He found Chen Qi, whom he had taken a fancy to before, and Chen Qi's ability to pick locks, and asked him to help him find the ultimate killer king mentioned in "Tiancan Dique", Huoyun Evil God!
For this reason, Chen Qi, whose life had reached the extreme of failure, almost immediately agreed to this request and sneaked into the "Abnormal Human Research Center" to look for the Fire Cloud Evil God hidden therein.
And some of the shots that hinted at the Fire Cloud Evil God, before the character appeared, had already set off the opponent's terror to the extreme. This is also the only place in Chen Qi's film that did not use real scenes, but let Xi use his power to outline the place.
But in the end, when the Fire Cloud Evil God played by Huai Tianpei officially appeared, the image of Huai Tianpei that everyone saw was a sloppy and old man wearing flip-flops, a cheap white vest, and glasses.
"Really? Chen Qi, do you want to rethink this? You want to be the villain in Kung Fu with this image?"
When Huai Tianpei made his debut, he actually appeared in such an image. Everyone in the crew showed extremely surprised expressions. Nian was even more rude, and directly pulled Chen Qi over and asked Chen Qi:
"Are you sure you want the villain to appear like this? How can he be a villain?! After so much preparation, you end up saving a thing like this?!"
"Are you sure this will really make the villain feel oppressed? Why did you shave off a large area of Huai Tianpei's hair? Master Huai, don't you have any objections?!"
And Nian obviously knew that he might not be able to tell Chen Qi, because this set of image was decided by Chen Qi. However, facing Nian's questioning, Huai Tianpei, who was dressed like an old man who went out to play chess in the summer, still answered indifferently:
"I don't care about image or anything like that. I just want to start the show quickly and then start the fight quickly."
"I am an amateur when it comes to filming, so I won't instruct Director Chen Qi on how to do it. As a martial artist, I am also very aware of the serious consequences that can be caused by an amateur's blind instruction."
After saying that, Huai Tianpei also closed his eyes and sat in the center of the Axe Gang lobby where the filming was about to begin. He replied in a calm tone but with a hint of excitement:
"Let's start shooting quickly, Director Chen Qi. I have memorized all the lines. We can start anytime."
Facing Huai Tianpei who had already lost control, Chen Qi did not say much. Fortunately, Zhongyue promptly pulled away the young man who had the most objections and said to his sister:
"Sister Nian, Director Chen Qi never uses meaningless foreshadowing. Do you remember the scene in the last corridor when we went to rescue the Fire Cloud Evil God?"
“The road to the Fire Cloud Evil God at the end was full of toads… and in director Chen Qi’s shot, as the iron gate opened, a sea of blood rushed in.”
As a martial artist, Zhongyue had cultivated martial arts to the extreme level. He understood what Chen Qi wanted to express through this picture. For the young man who did not focus on martial arts, Zhongyue frowned and explained:
"This is a martial artist's expression of 'evil spirit'. Director Chen Qi used this shot to hint that once the Fire Cloud Evil God is born, the martial arts world will be filled with blood, mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"
"Toads are even more poisonous. This hint is enough to show that Fire Cloud Evil God is not to be judged by appearances. In the following plots, he will definitely do many extremely cruel, insidious and cunning things."
At this point, Zhongyue also exhaled slowly and said to Nian: "Sister Nian, you rarely come to the border, and most of the time you are in the Tianji Pavilion to forge weapons and build mechanical soldiers. If you encounter those giant beasts that have a blood feud with Da Yan...you will understand that the picture drawn by Director Chen Qi is a completely true description."
"Now, we just need to follow Director Chen Qi's instructions. Our top priority is to find our second brother..."
"Oh." Facing Zhongyue's words, Nian nodded. She certainly knew that the longer they delayed, the more perfect her second brother's plan would be, and the greater the danger Chen Qi would face.
But Nian was surprisingly calm. After all, if his second brother was determined to set up such a lineup, then even if they were there, they couldn't stop him from possessing him. Chen Qi knew these risks now, but he was still filming safely in Longmen. He was obviously very confident.
Nian didn't dare to say that she understood her second brother, but she dared to say that she understood Chen Qi. He was a man who valued his life and would not put anyone in the crew in danger. If he dared to do this, he must be confident.
"Could it be that Chen Qi's mysterious Tathagata Palm can definitely break my second brother's plan?" Nian was guessing this in his heart, but he was suddenly hit on the back of his head, and he only heard Xi say lightly:
"Don't be distracted, help Chen Qi film first, you freeloader."
At this moment, Xi's thoughts were the same as Nian's, but the difference was that Xi wanted to know more about what method Chen Qi would use to fight against her second brother... You know, Xi was actually very afraid of her second brother. Her second brother only had a good relationship with your sister and "Shu", and he often laughed at her paintings in the past.
Now, her second brother has become the one who wants to bring "Sui" back to Dayan the most. Xi is extremely afraid that her consciousness will return to Sui's body and she will once again become a "dead person" without her own thoughts... Therefore, she puts her hopes on Chen Qi to overcome her fear and her fierce desire for revenge against her second brother.
"Chen Qi...if you can get out of danger this time, then I will never leave the crew again before you die."
Xi made such a decision in her heart. She didn't want to leave this temporary home anymore. Even if the time was only a hundred years, she was willing to cherish this time.
"Well, if everyone has no objection, let's get ready to shoot the penultimate fight scene!" Chen Qijianian also had no objection, so he asked all the actors to take their positions and get ready to start shooting:
"Old Wei and Madam Wenyue, get ready! Xi, be ready to send Old Li into the scroll at any time. Everyone, take your positions! Start shooting!"
"Remember to destroy as much as possible! I spent money to decorate this place! Please don't destroy it all!"
Before the filming started, Shi Huaiya, who came with them, also spoke as an investor. The venues here were all her family's property. When she heard that Chen Qi was going to shoot an indoor fight scene, she turned this place into a casino and was mentally prepared for it to be torn to pieces.
But she had heard the power of Madam Wen Yue's Lion's Roar when she was sleeping last time, and of course she had seen the effect before coming to watch the filming process. Now Shi Huaiya felt a little regretful that she had given this place to Chen Qi to film so readily, and even refused to charge him.
Shi Huaiya could never take back what she said. Although she was rich, she was actually quite stingy. Seeing this, Chen Huijie said with disdain:
"Looking at you, isn't it just a movie? Your family has so much money, even if the whole building is demolished, it's not a big deal for you, right?"
"So you don't feel bad if you didn't spend the money?!" Shi Huaiya retorted angrily. Fortunately, Xing Xiong saw that the two girls were about to quarrel again and immediately tried to smooth things over:
"It's okay, Missy. Although Old Chen's words are foul, he's right. With your family's assets, you won't feel bad if a building like this is destroyed, right? If there are really too many buildings destroyed, Director Chen Qi will definitely compensate you. As long as you ask for it."
"Besides, I don't think the whole building will be destroyed, right? We have all seen the noise made by the Lion's Roar, and Grandmaster Zhongyue also said that with Madam Wenyue's martial arts, it is certain that this place will be in chaos, but it is unlikely to destroy the entire building, so you don't have to worry too much."
"I hope so."
Xing Xiong's words also made Shi Huaiya feel a little relieved. She thought that Xing Xiong was right. Although she was embarrassed to ask Chen Qi for money, as an investor, Chen Qi would definitely give her a dividend. Making money is a trivial matter, right?
Besides, could he really destroy the building for her? No way? ... Maybe.
Shi Huaiya was vaguely a little worried, because when she came here with Xingxiong and the others, she saw two shield guards under the Patriot from the prop group moving an ancient clock over and tying ribbons around it, as if it were a gift.
With Madam Wen Yue's Lion's Roar, Shi Huaiya suddenly had a bad feeling - Chen Qi, that guy, wouldn't he be planning to do that? !
Chapter 226: A scene that goes down in history, Huai Tianpei catches the bullet!
Back to the filming, at this moment, Huai Tianpei, the rescued Fire Cloud Evil God, was sitting in the middle of the lobby wearing a classic old man suit. All the Axe Gang members were looking at Huai Tianpei in astonishment, just like the young man at that time. They couldn't believe that this was the "Fire Cloud Evil God" who was ranked first on the killer list.
"what……"
At this moment, Brother Chen, played by Lao Li, also yawned. Ah, who played the secretary, reacted immediately, suppressing his surprise and the mockery of Huai Hu's father whose hair on his forehead was almost shaved off. He immediately stepped forward and said:
"The ultimate number one killer, the Fire Cloud Evil God, is indeed impressive!"
However, after this line was read out, not only the audience in the screening room, but even Ah himself almost couldn't help laughing. The camera also gave a special shot of Huai Tianpei's slipper hanging by his thumb, which added a bit of humor.
"Empty, just an empty name." Huai Tianpei seemed to have not spoken for a long time. He seemed not used to such compliments.
It seemed that because of Huai Tianpei's image, or because he had seen many masters, he had adapted to it psychologically. At this moment, he did not respect Huai Tianpei as much as he did the Rat King and the Emperor before. He said with a frivolous look:
"Stop talking nonsense. We want you to help kill two people. Name your price!"
"…What's the price?"
At this moment, Huai Tianpei, who played the role of Fire Cloud Evil God, was not bragging. Although Huai Tianpei had never acted before, he now really understood the Fire Cloud Evil God's half-crazy and half-insane feeling. He said with an evil smile:
"I have killed many people, just to find someone who can beat me."
"In the end, I realized that no one could match me, so I hid away for some peace and quiet. If there was an opponent, I would have come out long ago. How could anyone trap me?"
"Let me tell you, if there is a peerless master, I will kill him for free, woohahahahaha - is there any?"
"...This old man seems to be crazy and a little scary."
In the screening room, Huai Tianpei's grasp of the essence of interpreting the Fire Cloud Evil God was beyond everyone's expectations, even Chen Qi himself.
Chen Qi was worried at the beginning whether Huai Tianpei could fully interpret the essence of the role of Huoyun Evil God, his obsession with martial arts, his excitement about fighting with peerless masters... these were no problem, but Chen Qi was more worried that Huai Tianpei was too upright and could not act out that kind of evil appearance.
But now it seems that Chen Qi was overthinking, Huai Tianpei's performance was even a little too good. So much so that under such a dress, the few people who were familiar with him felt that he was a little strange...
"This look... is it really him?" Although Huai Hu and her father were reunited after a long time, her impression of Huai Tianpei and her childhood did not seem to have changed much during the time they spent together. But this was indeed the first time she saw her father looking so... disgusting.
When Huai Hu said this, Hong, who had already finished filming, couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, Huai Hu, this is just acting. You should be happy that Uncle Huai's acting is so good. Then we can see even more powerful martial arts."
However, Hong's words did not receive a response. Even Zhongyue did not respond to him. Instead, he stared at Huai Tianpei on the screen with a frown. He was now a little confused... Was this an acting skill, or was this the trick of his younger brother?
"I'll go to the scene."
After Zhongyue left, Ah, who was filming at the moment, seemed to be slightly shocked by the huge contrast between Huai Tianpei and Huai Tianpei. He immediately changed his attitude and said in a very flattering manner:
"He is truly a peerless master! Just what you like! Evil God!"
"But I wonder if you would mind showing off your skills first? It's not that I don't trust you! We all want to broaden our horizons~"
