Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 192 Jing Tian and Yang Mi

The apartment complex, downstairs from Jing Tian's house.
In Qi Hui's rented room.

Although the layout of Jing Tian's apartment upstairs is similar, it is indeed a rental apartment.

Although he now has money, Qi Hui has no intention of buying this place.

I can move to a different place after I come back from the US in the second half of the year and after I've put together a new play.

We'll buy a big villa then, one as big as the one the Ling family has!

After all, making a new movie costs money, and buying a house also costs money.

Therefore, we need to play it safe now.

Click~
The sound of keys clicking on the door rang out, and Jing Tian pushed the door open and came in.

"Hehe... Darling, what are you looking at?" Jing Tian skipped and jumped into Qi Hui's arms.

She wrapped her arms around Qi Hui's neck and kept rubbing her face against Qi Hui's chin.

"Ugh... your stubble is so stiff, and you smell so good!" Jing Tian kept rubbing against Qi Hui, as if she were glued to him.

Qi Hui: “…”

This girl's period is due in about six or seven days; she's currently ovulating.

She's incredibly sweet and clings to me all the time.

But now it's so much better! It's so hard to take care of yourself when your period comes!
"Wow...you've arranged everything so neatly here." Jing Tian looked at everything in the living room.

The slippers were neatly arranged in the corner, and the handles of the cups all pointed in the same direction.

Even the small blanket on the sofa was folded into a neat square by Qi Hui.

It's pleasing to the eye.

"Haven't you come here several times already?" Qi Hui was speechless. Ever since he returned from training for "I Am a Special Forces Soldier," he had developed this habit.

Now that "Fire Blue Blade" has been filmed, this habit has been reinforced once again.

The reason I didn't go upstairs to Jing Tian's house was that, besides needing to focus on the documents, I also couldn't stand the slightly messy layout of Jing Tian's house.

This girl is a bit lazy; although her things are clean, she doesn't like to tidy up.

"What are you looking at?" Jing Tian peeked out and looked at the documents in Qi Hui's hand.

"Huh? The script for Cruise?" Jing Tian exclaimed in surprise, flipping through the pages. "They even have the script for Source Code?"

Source Code is a low-budget sci-fi film released last year, while Triangle is a thriller released a few years ago.

These two movies have one thing in common: time loops!
"Are you planning to make a movie about time loops?" Jing Tian crossed her legs and elegantly rested them on the sofa armrests.

It's so thoughtful that Qi Hui can touch it with just a simple gesture.

"More or less, let me think about it first," Qi Hui said vaguely.

He actually worked on "The Beginning," a web series.

However, there are too many things to do right now, so Qi Hui plans to finish the script first and then talk about it in the second half of the year or next year.

He is currently preparing for the role of the second male lead in "Painted Skin 2", the male lead in "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon", and a film talent exchange program, among other things.

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Although the setting of "The Beginning" is simple, it is not something that can be done by simply making multiple takes.

The bus travels in the city, so we need to ensure that the scenery outside the window doesn't change during each take.

This situation certainly wouldn't occur in real life, so some technological means would be needed.

Compared to Triangle and Source Code, The Beginning was a bit more complicated in terms of filming locations.

ding dong~
Just then, Qi Hui's phone beeped. Jing Tian picked it up, glanced at it, and immediately snorted.

"Who is it?" Qi Hui asked, puzzled.

"Yang Mi." Jing Tian showed the screen to Qi Hui and saw that it was Yang Mi who had sent him a message:
"My period is here, ugh...it feels so bad!"

"Qi, can you comfort me? o(TヘTo)"

“She’s being horny again…” Jing Tian snorted, then her fingers flew across the keyboard, typing a long string of words.

"Fake Qi Hui (Jing Tian): All cleared up."

"Yang, what did you see?"

This somewhat nonsensical message puzzled Yang Mi, but she still replied to it anyway.

Yang Mi: Much better.

"Fake Qi Hui (Jing Tian): That's good. You're much better now, so get some rest."

Then, QQ notified Qi Hui that he had gone offline.

Yang Mi was taken aback at first, then she gritted her teeth in anger.

asshole!

She was on her period and was easily angered and irritable. How dare that bastard Qi Hui treat her like this?
Outrageous!

He immediately made a phone call to Qi Hui.

"Hello?" Jing Tian's crisp voice rang out on the phone. Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat, her anger instantly vanishing, replaced by a strange sense of guilt.

"Senior, is something the matter?" Jing Tian snorted and pressed for an answer.

"Ahem... Jing Tian, ​​are you with Qi Hui?" Yang Mi's tone softened, and she casually made up a random question.

“Hey~ Let’s be together.” Jing Tian chuckled, “Sister Mi, Senior Brother’s stubble is so prickly…hehe, his hair is so prickly too.”

"You don't know yet, do you? My senior just came back from the Navy, and he's got a shaved head now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Mi hung up the phone, claiming her phone was out of gas.

Jing Tian snorted, like a victorious rooster, strutting around proudly and extremely pleased with herself.

Little Yang Mi, you dare to mess with me?

Qi Hui looked at her with interest, finding it somewhat amusing.

But then again, shouldn't Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei be together by now?
I remember reading in some gossip tabloid somewhere before I traveled through time that Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei met while filming a movie.

Thinking of this, Qi Hui picked up his phone and entered the keywords in the browser: 【Yang Mi Liu Kaiwei】.

Soon, a drama called "Ruyi" appeared, which claimed to be the first collaboration between the two.

There are also web pages that describe Liu Kaiwei's feelings for Yang Mi, and Yang Mi's feelings for Liu Kaiwei.

"What's wrong?" Jing Tian looked at the webpage, somewhat confused.

"Nothing much." Qi Hui shrugged. "I guess Yang Mi is going to announce her relationship soon."

"And she still harasses you?" Jing Tian gritted her teeth. I knew she was a slut!

Qi Hui shrugged. It's good news that Yang Mi is going to announce her relationship.

If I remember correctly, Yang Mi was in "Painted Skin 2".

This way, it will be much safer for him, Qi, to go and film.

Yang Mi can't possibly want to cause trouble with Qi so soon after announcing her relationship, can she?

……

Time flies like an arrow; time passes swiftly.

Before we knew it, the Spring Festival film season was almost here.

Jing Tian didn't go home for the Spring Festival; instead, she spent it with Qi Hui.

She said that she had only been home for less than two days when her family started nagging her again, which was so annoying. She felt it was better to stay with Qi Hui.

Then...then I got several phone calls from home.

Jing Tian kept answering phone calls, and often had to get up again as soon as she sat down.

“Distance makes the heart grow fonder…” Jing Tian hummed, somewhat smugly.

When she doesn't go home, her family worries about her constantly; when she does go home, her family nags her endlessly.

It's better this way; it's not too late to go back next year.

Qi Hui found it somewhat amusing, as if he were looking at college students returning home for the Chinese New Year.

First day back home: pampered
The day after returning home, mother and son were loving and filial.
On the third day after returning home: "Raising a pig would be better than raising you! A pig isn't as lazy as you!"

Soon, the competition for the Spring Festival film season began.

Tony Stark's Sherlock Holmes and Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol are leading the pack and their box office continues to climb.

It's far superior to other domestic films, except for "The Viral Factor," starring Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse, which is pretty good.

Of course, there's also the Year of the Dragon for Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

As for Guo Fan's "The Adventures of Li Xianji", Qi Hui watched it. The movie was well-made, and Jaycee Chan and Wang Ziwen's performances were also decent.

But the story is somewhat obscure... or rather, chaotic.

The film's narrative style is extremely disjointed, leaving viewers completely bewildered.

Moreover, this movie uses a variety of visuals, including live-action, animation, and 3D effects, to tell its story, which is somewhat unacceptable to some viewers.

People who like it think it's okay, but people who dislike it are very dissatisfied.

As for the box office... it was somewhat disappointing, barely reaching one million on the first day.

This achievement is only possible because of the director's reputation as the director of "Love is Not Blind".

To be honest, this title brought Guo Fan some popularity, but it also backfired on him to some extent.

In particular, "The Adventures of Li Xianji" was marketed as a low-budget, romance film.

It subconsciously draws the audience into the world of "Love is Not Blind," but this movie is stylistically very different from "Love is Not Blind"... or rather, they are two completely different things.

Therefore, Guo Fan suffered a backlash.

The audience's reviews of the film were more negative than positive, which left Guo Fan feeling disappointed.

This also distressed Wang Jinghua and Wang Zongjun. What happened to the promise of high returns on low investment?

That's it!?
