The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 244 The movie that respects Xu Xing the most!
A rainy night.

A car was parked on the side of the road.

Someone was sleeping in the car.

There was an immediate burst of excited cheers in the packed screening room!

After watching so many movies by Xu Xing, finally there is one where I can see Xu Xing’s handsome face first!

The most respectful movie to Xu Xing!
He leaned back in his chair, mouth slightly open, the street lights shining through the rain and car windows, casting ripples of light on his face.

From this first shot, Mantianxing was sure that Haohao deserved the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor!
Although he is a quiet and handsome man in the dark rainy night, unlike his past handsomeness, the sleeping Xu Xing now has a very down-to-earth feeling of a social animal.

Like working overtime until late at night, and your car breaks down on the way home, so you have to sleep in the car for the night.

Can other ordinary actors perform this sleeping posture?

A car passed by with its headlights on, and the sound and lights woke him up in confusion and irritation.

Just closed your eyes again.

bang~
The sound of a car crash.

Completely awake.

He quickly got out of the car and ran towards the accident site in the rain to save people.

Black screen cuts through.

He had already run back and sat in the car.

He was soaked and looked panicked, but the car wouldn't start.

The black screen cuts off again.

There was blood on the broken car window glass on the ground, and the rain was flowing down the car body. The person who was still conscious was trying hard to open his eyes.

next moment.

In the broken rearview mirror, countless bloodshot eyes opened at the same time.

"what!"

There was a scream in the screening room.

[Witness] Three large blood-red words appeared on the screen.

"Scared me!"

Wang Yu held Li Chenxi's hand tightly.

“I think it’s pretty.”

Li Chenxi gave his own insights.

"..."

Speechless, Wang Yu pinched her hard.

The theater became quiet again only after the screen changed to relaxing music.

The male protagonist played by Xu Xing reappears in the moving car.

It was raining lightly in the night sky.

He was soon stuck in traffic.

After hearing the news of a car accident on the intercom in the car, he immediately turned around and left, rushing to the scene of the accident. He found that the person involved in the accident was a high-ranking official from the island province, and a young model was sitting in the passenger seat.

Record videos, take photos, write emails, and send them.

A smug smile.

It turned out that he was Xiao Qi, a social reporter who had just caught some explosive news.

The email was sent to his boss.

The note in the address book is [Goddess Maggie].

That is Xu Weining, whom the stars hate the most right now.

When they first heard that Xu Xing was playing a bootlicker in the movie, the stars were just joking and complaining, is there really anyone worthy of Emperor Xing being a bootlicker?

As the movie premiered at the Golden Horse Film Festival, the film began to be promoted, and such stupid promotional slogans as "Hsu Wei-ning is a true goddess, worthy of being the woman who can make Hsu Xing a bootlicker" were actually used.

Mantianxing was very dissatisfied at the time. After winning the Best Actor award, he was immediately hit by a barrage of scandals. She was really pissed off!
"So ugly!"

Wang Yu complained in a low voice.

Li Chenxi agreed.

In fact, she thinks that Xu Weining is very beautiful in the movie, more beautiful than outside the movie, but inside, she is ugly.

boom!
"what!"

The sound of a car crash and screams from the cinema rang out.

Xiao Qi, who was on the phone, had his car hit!

Being murdered at the speed of light?
But immediately everyone in the screening room heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be just an accident!

Haohao is fine!
That's what happens when a star is famous enough and has enough fans. The atmosphere when everyone watches a movie together is really good.

It's like watching a concert together.

Wang Yu thought to himself and sighed again.

When can Haohao hold a concert?
……

Next, Xiao Qi went to repair his car and found out that the second-hand car he had just bought a month ago was an accident car that had been overhauled. Angry Xiao Qi went to the police to check the car.

Rough hairstyle, smoking skillfully and naturally, dealing with people with ease, sophisticated, obscene and flattering, and also giving benefits directly.

The previous film reviews and reports were not wrong, this is really a completely different Xu Xing!
The most profound impression that Xu Xing gave people in the past was that of a beautiful young man with a clean smile, but the Xu Xing here is a greasy and mercenary social person.

Everyone knows how good Xu Xing's skin is, but in order to subvert her image in this movie, Xu Xing's face was made to look rough and oily, and Xu Xing's temperament was completely submerged.

This is the best actor!
I was always moved when I remembered that after the news was released, Xiao Qi received praise and was taken to social events by Brother Qiu, the boss of the newspaper.

At the drinking party, Maggie was smoking a cigarette while being put on the back of the middle-aged man's arm. She was so infatuated with him that she looked like a socialite, and there was a burst of low murmurs of "Pah" in the screening room.

Xiao Qi is greasy, but is Maggie worthy of being called a goddess?

Not long after he finished spitting, he started spitting again.

Because Xiao Qi was driving Maggie home, Maggie suddenly started crying in a pretentious manner. Xiao Qi stopped the car to comfort her. Maggie, who was crying pretentiously, suddenly attacked Xiao Qi and kissed him directly.

Xiao Qi was frightened by Maggie's indecent behavior and subconsciously stepped back.

But Xiao Qi immediately failed to withstand the test. He and Maggie kissed wildly in the car, and after the scene switched, they kissed on the bed.

Then Maggie, still naked, sat on Xiao Qi, who was "struggling painfully" under her...

There was an uproar in the screening room.

"Disgusting!"

Wang Yu cursed out loud.

"Yes!"

Li Chenxi agreed immediately.

Knowing that there are large-scale scenes in the movie, all the stars were mentally prepared and could understand Haohao sacrificing himself for the art of film.

But this is really a bit too much.

He died just 10 minutes into the movie. It was totally unethical. It happened so quickly that no one was prepared enough to prevent it.

The worst——No, anyway, everyone was looking at that old woman Xu Weining’s back, and no one could see Haohao’s…so Haohao still cherishes himself——

Ok!

Saw it the next morning.

The upper body was shown to the stars!

There were a lot of “wow” sounds, and Wang Yu even heard the sound of people swallowing saliva around him...

Then, Xiao Qi, who had given benefits to Mantianxing, walked to the living room and saw on TV that his previous report was biased. The senior official who had a car accident had his wife sitting in the passenger seat, not a young model.

Xiao Qi was fired from the newspaper. Maggie told him that it was the editor-in-chief Zhongwen who proposed it and the boss approved it.

At the same time, he discovered that his car was the one that had an accident on a rainy night nine years ago. In subsequent investigations, he found that several photos of the scene he had taken for the newspaper had been deleted. It was a car accident related to the kidnapping of a wealthy businessman's daughter, and there was obviously a hidden story behind it.

Xiao Qi believed that it was Zhongwen who deleted the photos, so he decided to investigate the car accident and find something to do for himself as an unemployed vagrant.

Maggie enthusiastically helped Xiao Qi with the investigation.

The plot of the movie finally got to the point, and the stars in the theater finally quieted down.

……

In the follow-up investigation, Xiao Qi found the person who survived the car accident and disappeared from the hospital, Xu Aiting, who had a disabled leg and changed her name. However, Xu Aiting avoided talking about what happened that year. Xu Aiting was captured by a mysterious person, and soon revealed that she was captured by A Wei, who was checking the car for Xiao Qi. A Wei rescued her from the hospital, but she left without saying goodbye. A Wei had been looking for her for nine years...

Xiao Qi found out that the car that caused the accident was probably owned by Qiu, the boss of the newspaper, but Qiu said that the person who caused the accident was Aji, a mechanic who borrowed his car to pick up girls. Xiao Qi quickly followed Qiu and found out that Qiu had an affair with Maggie. He exposed Qiu's lie. Qiu admitted it, but said that it was Maggie who hit someone that day and he helped Maggie to settle the matter. He also lured Xiao Qi to stop investigating by bringing him into the cabinet...

The car accident on the rainy day was repeated over and over again from different people's perspectives and in different people's mouths. Xiao Qi also kept recalling it, and each time it was different, and it seemed that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

but--

"Just like nine years ago, you only know part of the truth," Brother Qiu said to Xiao Qi who got off the car, "Do you want to be a hero for fifteen minutes, or continue to follow me?"

The audience in the screening room held their breath.

Fortunately, Xiao Qi quickly made the just choice and continued to track down Xu Aiting's whereabouts, but was beaten up by A Wei.

There were more exclamations and screams.

Xiao Qi was lying on the ground half dead, and the truth of that year was told by A Wei.

At that time, Xu Aiting and another friend Liao Zifan kidnapped the daughter of a wealthy businessman together with A Wei, but after getting the ransom, they found that A Wei had killed the daughter. The two had a big quarrel with A Wei and drove away, but were accidentally hit by a car and Liao Zifan died on the spot.

The vehicle that caused the accident fled, and Ah Wei, who was chasing behind, took away the ransom from the car before the ambulance arrived.

Back to reality, Xiao Qi stood up shakily with a knife in hand. While confronting A Wei, he pushed open the bathroom door that was covered in Xu Aiting's blood. Xiao Qi's eyes were dull.

The scene switches, Xiao Qi calls Brother Qiu and tells him that he has made his choice.

Under Brother Qiu's arrangement, the case of Awei's family was closed on the grounds of self-defense by Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi was promoted to the director of the media public relations office along with Brother Qiu.

Before the press conference for his appointment, Maggie invited Xiao Qi to go on a date after the press conference. Xiao Qi confronted Maggie and told her that he knew it was she, not Zhongwen, who suggested that the newspaper fire him.

"Do you believe Zhongwen or me?"

Maggie asked.

"I believe in myself," Xiao Qi put out his cigarette and laughed sarcastically, "Brother Qiu said that you were the one driving the car nine years ago. Do you believe Brother Qiu or me?"

Maggie was stunned.

The press conference begins.

Xiao Qi said he wanted to tell everyone a ghost story first.

"Xiao Ming likes to collect ghost stories. One day..."

The scene returns to that rainy night.

Xiao Qi ran to the scene of the car accident and found the ransom in the car. Driven by momentary greed, Xiao Qi took away two million.

In the conference room, Xiao Qi, dressed in a suit and tie, continued to tell a very clichéd ghost story.

"The boss said, never turn to the last page, because the last page is the scariest."

The scene returns to Awei's house.

Xiao Qi pushed open the bathroom door with a dull look in his eyes.

The bathroom was covered in blood. Xu Aiting was lying against the wall with one arm at the foot of the door.

Xiao Qi knelt on the ground and vomited.

A Wei came over and dragged Xiao Qi to Xu Aiting, who was still alive.

"Aiting, he's here to pay you back."

Ah Wei forced Xiao Qi to see Xu Aiting off for the last time.

Xiao Qi was in tears and kept muttering "I'm sorry".

In the conference room, Xiao Qi was telling a story seriously.

"Xiao Ming said he wanted to buy it, and the boss said it was 1,000 yuan... But Xiao Ming couldn't control his curiosity and turned to the last page."

Back to the bathroom again.

The devastated Xiao Qi suddenly stood up and killed A Wei.

Blood splattered everywhere, and Xiao Qi vented wildly.

“I didn’t expect that on the last page, it actually said that the suggested retail price was fifteen dollars.”

Xiao Qi finished telling the story.

Maggie laughed.

Xiao Qi in the bathroom looked at the dying Xu Aiting.

Xiao Qi in the conference room's nose twitched, and he looked at Maggie with an extremely complicated look.

The reporters around smiled awkwardly.

Then, Xiao Qi also started laughing.

After laughing, he took out the recording of his conversation with Brother Qiu.

All the reporters were shocked.

The screen ends.

The text shows that Xiao Qi revealed at the press conference that Brother Qiu had caused a hit-and-run accident and killed Aji, and he confessed that he had accidentally killed Awei.

The movie ends.

There was silence in the screening room for the first moment.

But soon there was a burst of warm applause and cheers.

"Golden Horse Award winner Xu Xing is awesome!"

"Xu Xing is so handsome!!!"

"Too beautiful!"

"It's so exciting!"

"Anyone want to watch it again?"

The baby's breaths rose up and down and praised loudly.

"Haohao is awesome!"

Wang Yu also shouted, then pulled Li Chenxi, who was still sitting in a daze, and walked out of the screening room.

When they got outside the lobby, Wang Yu grabbed Li Chenxi, who was going to buy tickets, and walked downstairs to the square outside the cinema. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I was so scared! We can just buy tickets online for the second screening. There's no need to watch it again. I actually saw a body being dismembered in the cinema. Oh my god! The expression on Xu Xing's face was so scary!!!"

I had a vision in my mind of myself being hit to death on the ground by him using a badminton racket. Even after I was dead, he continued to hit the ground madly, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

——These royal words were not spoken out.

"Ah? Dismembered?"

Li Chenxi looked confused.

"Didn't you see?" Wang Yu was also convinced. "Xu Xing entered the bathroom, lowered his head, and only tapped a small area of skin at his feet with his fingers. Didn't you notice that only the woman's face was tapped in the bathroom?"

“Uh uh uh, I covered my eyes and didn’t dare to look, hahaha~”

Li Chenxi laughed dryly.

"..."

The king was speechless.

"This movie is so scary, I wonder if it won't be a big hit at the box office."

Li Chenxi became worried.

"...It's hard to say," Wang Yu sighed, "It depends on whether Mantianxing can help."

……

[I watched the movie and found it a bit scary. [Covering face]]

Ma Fanshu’s WeChat.

【[Embrace]】

Xu Xing replied and became worried again.

No matter what opinions professional film critics and theater executives give after watching the film in advance, the real feedback from the market can only be obtained after the film is released.

In fact, when watching the film before, Xu Xing felt that the scene of dismemberment in the bathroom had been controlled to the minimum after editing.

Unlike in the previous life, he did not take a full-body photo of Xu Aiting directly, but just gave a very subtle hint.

However, in order to make Xu Xing's award for Best Actor look more convincing, Xiao Qi's hideous face covered in blood when he killed A Wei was completely preserved.

I check the scary square from time to time, and I see a lot of comments saying that they were scared by the last scene.

Now even Ma Fanshu, who only knows how to brag about Xu Xing, has given feedback that it is a bit scary, so the box office outlook seems a bit pessimistic.
