Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 606 If the dog eats me, what will I eat?!

Didn't Zhang Zhao say the same thing?
I've said it, and I don't know how many times I've said it.

But the results were still not as good as those achieved by Chairman Li Qiutang.

After leaving the company, Li Qiutang did not return to the "Butterfly Lovers" crew, but instead went to the "The Wandering Earth" crew in Huairou.

When he arrived, it was already midnight, but many people in the crew were still working.

Mr. Li wasn't stingy; he brought his colleagues piping hot late-night snacks.

The visual effects supervisor slurped up his hot noodles and said, "You're so stingy to make us work all night for just a bowl of noodles."

Li Qiutang also ate noodles with them, saying, "It's good enough to have something to eat. In other film crews, we don't even get to eat noodles."

After quickly finishing her noodles, Li Qiutang started working and didn't leave until after 2 or 3 a.m.

In winter, the nights in Yanjing are pitch black and so quiet that it feels like a ghost might jump out at any moment.

Li Qiutang blew on his hands, started the car, and headed to the hotel where the "Butterfly Lovers" film crew was staying.

The Lunar New Year film season is about to enter the Christmas-New Year period, and two blockbusters will be released this week: "See You Tomorrow" and "Railroad Tigers".

Among them, "The Ferryman" is the most anticipated by the audience.

This movie is really internet-savvy.

A popular author has transitioned into directing, adapting one of his own books, with an all-star cast, including Wang Jiawei, a favorite among literary youths, as producer.

This movie has all the elements that internet companies believe will make it a big hit.

The pre-release marketing for this movie was extensive, featuring various male and female celebrities.

Director Zhang Jiajia made several surprising remarks before the film's release. For example, when asked about his experience as a first-time director, he said, "Let me put it this way: if you drink with director Wang Jiawei for a year or two and still can't direct, you must be an idiot, haha."

It's pretentious enough, but also incredibly ignorant.

Yang Ying has also made another public appearance.

Two months have passed since she went crazy on Weibo at the end of October on the day of Huang Xiaoming's wedding. In these two months, she has only made an appearance at the launch event of her own beauty brand recently.

During her absence, her agent said she went overseas to audition for a new film.

Now that her new film is released, reporters have so many questions for her, and they're very direct, asking her directly about her love life.

"Xiaoming is already married and about to become a father. What are your plans for your future love life?"

Yang Ying maintained her politeness during the interview, saying, "I'm very busy with work right now, so I'll leave matters of the heart to fate."

"Will you, Xiaoming, and Qin Lan never see each other again?"

"I've made myself perfectly clear. Now, please ask about the new film."

Since that's been said, let's get back to "The Ferryman".

The reporter asked her, "From the beginning of your film career to today's collaboration with Zhang Jiajia and Wang Jiawei, you've had a smooth journey."

Yang Ying looked at the reporter with a strange expression: "Huh? Do you think I'm doing well?"

Reporter: "It went very smoothly."

Yang Ying smiled and said, "Everyone thinks others are doing very well, but in reality, everyone has their own various troubles."

Reporter: "What are your current worries?"

Yang Ying hadn't realized that the reporter was guiding her to speak.

Yang Ying said, "There are many things. There are always many trivial things in life that can be annoying. Actually, I don't think the journey has been completely smooth. If it had been smooth, I should have won a grand slam of awards by now and be carefree. Maybe then other troubles would have arisen."

Reporter: "When you haven't won any awards, you think you can win more in the future. But if you actually win all the awards now, you'll start to wonder what you'll do next."

Yang Ying: "Every stage has its own troubles, so no one's life is completely smooth sailing. So when you just said I was very successful, I was thinking that everyone seems to think that others have it easy and that things are going smoothly for them. But actually, they put in a lot of effort behind the scenes." This interview seems to have no problems. The "Grand Slam" comment is a self-deprecating remark by Yang Ying, and she actively refuted the reporter's view that she was successful, believing that everyone has troubles at every stage.

However, Yang Ying's interview was edited out by malicious individuals who only extracted the sentence, "If all goes well, I should have won a grand slam of awards by now," and Yang Ying was subjected to rampant ridicule.

It's hard to say whether this interview was prepared in advance, but she deserved to be mocked by netizens for her "Grand Slam" achievement.

Not everyone has the right to make fun of themselves by calling themselves a "Grand Slam".

Gong Li lacks a Golden Horse Award. If she were to jokingly say that her acting career hasn't been smooth sailing and she hasn't yet achieved the "Triple Crown" of Golden Horse Awards, netizens wouldn't find anything wrong with it.

Because she truly deserves a Grand Slam.

But what kind of person are you, Yang Ying, to even talk about the Grand Slam?

How did she win the Best Supporting Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards? Does she really think the audience doesn't know?

She seems to genuinely believe that she will face the "grand slam" dilemma at some point in her life.

But even with an all-star cast like "The Ferryman," there are still people willing to pay to see it.

It grossed 8000 million on its opening day, while "Railroad Tigers," which was released on the same day, only grossed 4800 million.

But Jackie Chan pulled off a clever deception in "Railroad Tigers".

The Crown Prince wasn't listed in the cast or the promotional materials, but when audiences went to the cinema, they discovered that the Dragon Prince had more screen time than Huang Zitao!
He loves his son dearly.

But the audience didn't buy it; after watching the movie, they cursed and accused Jackie Chan of deceiving them.

The crowd was indignant; the Dragon Prince should just stay home and sponge off his parents.

Li Qiutang worked day and night on the set and had no idea that Yang Ying claimed to have achieved a Grand Slam, nor did she know that Jackie Chan had secretly planned to test his son's comeback.

It was a colleague from the film crew who went out to see "Railroad Tigers" and told Li Qiutang about it.

"The hearts of parents are always full of love and worry." Besides that, Li Qiutang had nothing else to say.

Jackie Chan has spent his entire life conquering the world, and he only has one son, but he never expected that he would raise him so badly.

"If he had a second son, Jackie Chan probably wouldn't have risked doing something like this."

"Are you saying he really only has one?"

"Never mind anything else, at least there's only one on the surface, so who else should we save if not him?"

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't act, Jackie Chan has more money than he could spend in ten lifetimes."

"It's okay if he doesn't act, but he needs to find something to do. Otherwise, if he just eats, drinks, and plays all day, won't he become a useless person? People will cause trouble when they have nothing to do. If he has nothing to do, do you believe he will cause trouble for Jackie Chan?"

"That makes sense. Old Wang is rich enough, but Little Wang still has to start his own company, make investments, do e-sports, and run a live streaming website."

Just as Li Qiutang was about to say something, Liu Yifei poured the remaining half of her rice into her bowl.

"Tsk, you, you should have just poured half of it for me from the beginning. You've already eaten half of it and you're pouring it for me, and I'm just eating your saliva."

Qin Hao chimed in from the side, "Eating your wife's leftovers is a husband's duty."

“Exactly,” Liu Yifei agreed, showing strong agreement with Qin Hao’s point of view.

Li Qiutang asked Qin Hao, "Do you eat your wife's leftovers at home too?"

Qin Hao said, "Eat! Especially during her pregnancy, she would give me everything she didn't eat, making me fat, like dough rising."

Liu Yifei was delighted to hear this.

Qin Hao added, "Actually, you could keep a dog and feed it your leftovers."

Li Qiutang exclaimed in surprise, "The leftovers are all given to the dog, what am I supposed to eat?"

"Hahahaha!" Liu Yifei was almost dying of laughter!
