Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 147 I was hurt by wine and women...

"Wang Jinghua..." Upon hearing this name, Wang Zonglei couldn't help but frown.

Wang Jinghua had a very unpleasant falling out with them at first, which brought a lot of trouble afterward.

The signed actors started to become disobedient, and everyone adopted the attitude that if they weren't given resources, they would go to Sister Hua's side.

The two brothers were forced to work hard to barely stabilize the situation within the company.

Even now, although the two sides have started to cooperate to make money, that thorn is still stuck in their hearts.

When his older brother asked, Wang Zonglei got up and pulled out a document from his desk.

Wang Zongjun flipped through the pages, and his slightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit.

“A sole proprietorship project…” Wang Zongjun tapped the document, a smile spreading across his face. “It seems Wang Jinghua is still a leopard that can’t change its spots. She always wants to eat meat but doesn’t want to take the risks.”

“That woman has always been like that.” Wang Zonglei said with utter contempt.

Of course, only these two people would make such an assessment, and it's somewhat mixed with personal feelings.

If it were an artist who followed Wang Jinghua, the evaluation would be quite different.

"Should we try to make contact with this Qi Hui?" Wang Zonglei suggested, pulling out a photo of Qi Hui and tapping it.

To be honest, he's quite handsome.

“We can give it a try.” Wang Zongjun nodded: “If it works out, great; if not, we can find opportunities to cooperate.”

"I'll leave this matter to you."

He has a lot on his plate, and he needs to focus his energy on "1942".

“Okay!” Wang Zonglei glanced at Qi Hui’s photo, nodded excitedly, and was now full of energy.

……

"Love is Not Blind" grossed over 33 million yuan in just 5 days, showing strong momentum. Experts predict that it will easily reach 5 million yuan!

"Shocking! A new director's debut film has achieved such success, a new generation of directors is rising!"

"Who is Guo Fan? How did he, a previously unknown figure, manage to make a film that achieved both box office success and critical acclaim?"

"Exclusive reveal of director Guo Fan's secrets to success: actor Qi Hui actually played a part in it?"

"With genius director Guo Fan, sassy male lead Qi Hui, and lovable Jing Tian, ​​'Love is Not Blind' tells us with a unique story that a small budget can yield a big return!"

"Shocking! Unbelievable! The female lead of 'Love is Not Blind' is actually the same person as the female lead of the historical epic 'The Warring States'? What secrets are hidden behind this?"

"..."

News about "Love is Not Blind" is being reported online and in the media, with headlines that are always intriguing and novel, making people want to read it.

Looking at the computer, Qi Hui couldn't help but sigh at the barbarity and rage of the internet these days.

A box office of 500 million is a bit unrealistic; the media is exaggerating. However, 300 to 400 million is still possible.

Qi Hui turned off the computer screen and prepared to cook dinner.

But as soon as I opened the door, I smelled a rich fragrance.

Inside the restaurant, Jing Tian was busy. When Qi Hui approached, he noticed that the table was covered with seafood.

Oysters, lobsters, abalone...

Jing Tian hadn't cooked much, but she did know how to boil things.

Seafood should be eaten in its original flavor, of course.

Jing Tian also opened a bottle of red wine.

"So lavish?" Qi Hui asked with a smile.

"The movie was a success, so of course we should celebrate." Jing Tian personally poured wine for Qi Hui.

Then, she gently twisted her waist and sat down in Qi Hui's arms.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah..." Jing Tian picked up an oyster and personally fed it to Qi Hui.

Looking at her pretty and sweet face, Qi Hui smiled and swallowed.

"Hey, there's also stir-fried eggs with chives." Jing Tian picked up a piece of food and held it to Qi Hui's mouth.

"I ate this much?" Qi Hui laughed, his smile somewhat amused.

"You need to be full to have energy," Jing Tian hummed.

What's the point of having energy?

"Oh dear~ Don't talk nonsense~" Jing Tian was extremely embarrassed and quickly covered Qi Hui's mouth.

As she covered herself up, she realized that she was wearing less and less clothing. Why was that?
Oh... I see, you covered your mouth the wrong way; you should have used your hand.

—For her sake I grow thin and haggard, yet I will not regret loosening my clothes and belt—

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Jing Tian opened her eyes, slowly got out of bed, stretched lazily with a refreshed look, and felt completely comfortable.

She turned to look for her clothes, but saw Qi Hui fast asleep, and her face flushed slightly.

She leaned close to the bed, gently plucked a black hair from the corner of Qi Hui's mouth and threw it away before getting dressed.

"Hmm...why don't you want to sleep a little longer?" Qi Hui turned over, feeling so sleepy and reluctant to get up.

"It's about time to set off," Jing Tian said.

"Oh... okay." Qi Hui opened his eyes, but still stayed in bed and didn't want to get up.

Jing Tian said last night that she wants to participate in the roadshow for "The Warring States".

In fact, the promotion of "The Warring States" started a long time ago, even earlier than "Love is Not Blind".

This is a period drama blockbuster with an investment of 1.5 million yuan, and the promotion started two whole months in advance.

However, Jing Tian didn't go; she was fully focused on "Love is Not Blind".

Anyway, the Warring States period had a formidable lineup, so her absence wouldn't be a big problem.

But didn't "Love is Not Blind" solve that problem now?
So, she should go and take a stroll there. Anyway, it won't be long; she'll be back in about two weeks.

"I'm leaving." Jing Tian kissed Qi Hui twice, waved, and left.

After watching Jing Tian leave, Qi Hui went to the bathroom to wash up.

Looking at his slightly haggard reflection in the mirror, Qi Hui's expression changed slightly: "I've been ruined by wine and women... how come I look so haggard?!"

"No, from this day forward, I will abstain from alcohol!"

His gaze hardened, and he clenched his fist, encouraging himself.

……

Noon, office building in Chaoyang District.

Qi Hui drove slowly towards the agency.

He had already informed Yang Siwei before he arrived, and the two met at the company.

After playing around for so long, it's time to get back to work. I can't become arrogant and complacent because of some small achievements.

As soon as I entered the company gate, countless smiling faces greeted me. Some people said hello, others greeted me warmly.

Qi Hui nodded in return, his manners impeccable, his attitude gentle and kind.

They did not become arrogant and domineering because of the success of one movie.

"There are so many good people..." Qi Hui couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't receive this kind of treatment when he first joined the company.

When Qi Hui walked to where Yang Siwei was supposed to be, he found that Yang Siwei was not there.

The helpful receptionist came over and told Qi Hui that Yang Siwei already had her own office.

With that, he led Qi Hui toward Yang Siwei's office.

In the office, Yang Siwei was busy organizing things, sweating profusely.

It wasn't that the air conditioning wasn't on, but rather that she was just like that—she was quite fleshy and would sweat easily if she moved around too much.

"Qi Hui, you're here?" Yang Siwei exclaimed in surprise, putting down the things she was busy tidying up.

"Your salary has been increased?" Qi Hui asked with a smile.

"I have to thank you." Speaking of this, Yang Siwei couldn't help but smile, looking like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Here, have some tea first. I'll bring you the script." Yang Siwei's hands moved quickly as she brewed a pot of tea for Qi Hui, then she started flipping through the documents with a clattering sound in her high heels.

Before long, she brought over a stack of documents.

"That's quite a lot..." Qi Hui said in surprise.

"You'll have to get used to it," Yang Siwei said with a smile. "You're now the male lead in a movie with hundreds of millions in box office revenue, and you're the absolute male lead."

"A wildly popular and rising star."
