Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 214 Qi Hui: I don't know martial arts, I don't fight.
Actually, there is also a beautiful actress named Liu Tao.

However, Qi Hui's attention was drawn to Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting, and he didn't pay much attention to him.

Upon seeing Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting, Qi Hui paused for a moment, then casually calculated the time.

Suddenly it dawned on him that Zhao and Gao had fallen for each other during the filming of "Caught in the Web".

If I remember correctly, Yao Chen should also be in it...

At this moment, Qi Hui finally saw Liu Tao beside him, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

Yao Chen was... cough cough, was taken down by Lao Ling.

Now that Yao Chen is both dark-skinned and smelly, Chen Kaige certainly won't use her; instead, he's using Liu Tao.

"Ah... Yuanyuan, come quick!" Zhou Xun waved excitedly, carrying a string of chicken wings.

"Sister Xun!" Gao Yuanyuan exclaimed excitedly, quickly pulling Zhao Youting over.

She and Zhou Xun have known each other for a long time; they became good friends while filming "Beijing Bicycle".

The male lead of that movie, Li Bin, is the same person who played Lu Xiaoqian in "Magic Phone".

In just over forty years, we'll be able to use a silly girl. It's really exciting to think about!

"Teacher Liu, Senior Wang, come along too!" Yang Mi waved to Liu Tao and Wang Luodan, who had just come down from the classroom, and extended an invitation.

Yang Mi has also mastered it; she's become very adept at navigating social situations.

This loud voice was a gesture of respect to Liu Tao and Wang Luodan, allowing them to join in as well.

I must say, she's very good at interpersonal relationships.

Soon, a total of five beautiful women gathered around Qi Hui and his group's barbecue grill.

The crew members, production assistants, photographers, and others around him frequently cast their gazes at him.

Meanwhile, Qi Hui and Chen Kun were busy at the barbecue grill.

Qi Hui was the one who did the work, while Chen Kun was responsible for assisting.

He has achieved great success and lived a life of luxury over the years, so he's not very good at these things.

On the contrary, Qi Hui often had barbecues in the army when filming "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" and "Fire Blue Blade", and he learned how to do them.

The girls chattered away, watching Qi Hui and Chen Kun busy themselves.

However, their conversation mainly focused on the only man, Zhao Youting.

Zhao Youting was not intimidated and chatted with the actresses with a smile.

Surrounded by beautiful women, amidst singing and dancing, he was incredibly happy.

Oh no, he's really surrounded by beautiful women now.

"Here it comes, authentic military-style barbecue!" Qi Hui and Chen Kun carried four pots of barbecue back to the table.

The assistants took over the rest.

"Wow...it smells so good!" Liu Tao exclaimed in delight, showering the praise with compliments.

"Thank you, junior brother~" Wang Luodan said with a smile. She was from Beijing Film Academy and was a senior from the class of 01.

"Hello~" Gao Yuanyuan greeted everyone with a bright smile.

"Ah...it's an honor." Qi Hui smiled and nodded, neither cold nor overly enthusiastic to the point of making one feel inferior; his manners were just right.

"What were you talking about just now? You seemed so happy?" Qi Hui laughed, opened a bottle of beer, and started a conversation.

"Let's talk about Sister Yuanyuan and her boyfriend," Yang Mi said with a smile, pointing at Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting.

"No, no, it's not done yet," Zhao Youting quickly waved his hand, his accent from Taiwan quite heavy.

"Yes, I still need to observe him for a while!" Gao Yuanyuan said with a playful smile.

"You two are so enviable! You're acting in a movie by Director Chen, and you're having a sweet romance," Zhou Xun chuckled, raising her glass in celebration.

"A double success in love and career!"

"Thank you, Sister Xun." Zhao Youting accepted her toast without hesitation and addressed her as Sister Xun, just like Gao Yuanyuan.

Since it's almost a done deal, of course I need to gradually get to know Yuanyuan's friends.

"Hey, Qi Hui." Wang Luodan leaned closer to Qi Hui and asked with a curious look, "I heard you broke Zhen Zidan's leg, is that true?"

As she said this, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she looked quite gossipy.

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze shifted from Zhao Youting and fell upon Qi Hui.

His eyes were fixed on the scene, his face filled with curiosity and excitement.

Zhou Xun and Yang Mi rolled their eyes, took a sip of their wine in frustration, and didn't want to talk.

They had asked Qi Hui this question for a long time, but unfortunately, they hadn't gotten the answer they wanted. However, they felt it was very likely, because Qi Hui was very strong.

Everyone experiences altitude sickness on the plateau, but his was not severe; he only felt unwell for two or three days before feeling better.

But they could only miserably breathe oxygen.

Qi Hui paused, then slowly swallowed the barbecue and beer in his mouth. Instead of answering immediately, he asked in return:
"What do you think?"

"I think so!" Zhou Xun raised her hand, becoming the first to speak.

"You spent those few days on two film sets, and made a bet with two different people. As a result, both of those people broke their legs!"

"Exactly!" Yang Mi chimed in from the side, "What a coincidence!"

"Shut up!" Qi Hui shoved two grilled sausages into their mouths. "Eat up, and shut your mouths."

"Tch..." Zhou Xun and Yang Mi rolled their eyes.

"Tell me quickly, is it true or not?" Chen Kun, always eager for drama, rubbed his hands together and pressed for an answer.

"That's right, that's right, hurry up and say it!" Wang Luodan held the roasted meat, feeling that it tasted even better.

Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Tao also looked on with curiosity.

Zhao Youting touched his nose and slowly took a sip of wine.

Qi Hui rolled his eyes. How could he possibly tell the truth?
"Don't let my strong appearance fool you, I'm actually not very good."

"If I had even a little bit of skill, I wouldn't be completely without it."

“They all say I’m a coward, but I’m strategically preserving my strength. I’m just saving it until it expires.”

"The strong don't complain about their environment, but I'm weak, so I not only complain about my environment, I also complain about the strong!"

"Everyone looks down on me, and I'm just not good enough!"

"Everyone laughs at me, but I'm the funniest one!"

"Everyone wants to bully me, and I happen to be the easiest to bully."

Qi Hui looked up at the sky and sighed, expressing his feelings with a meek and submissive demeanor.

Zhou Xun was speechless: "You're spouting rhymes, are you preparing for graduate school?"

"Hahaha...Where did you get all this spiel?" Wang Luodan and Liu Tao laughed incessantly, their bodies shaking with laughter.

Hmm... it's shaking a bit. Wang Luodan isn't shaking, but Liu Tao is shaking a lot.

Duang~duang~~, as expected of Teacher Bai Jie.

"Don't believe him," Yang Mi said, pouting. "He hits really hard!"

“He hit me several times.”

During filming, she and Qi Hui had fight scenes, and she was repeatedly hit by Qi Hui's hands and feet, causing her pain.

Moreover, this bastard has no chivalry whatsoever; sometimes he'd rather watch himself fall than come over and help him up.

When there were scenes involving hugging and cuddling, Qi Hui would throw her away as soon as the director yelled "cut."

So angry!

"It's true!" Qi Hui exclaimed, feeling wronged. "I don't know martial arts. I'm a professionally trained actor."

"Those who haven't practiced martial arts are very weak."

"Really..." Chen Kun looked him up and down suspiciously. He spoke as if it were true, and Chen Kun almost believed him.

"Think about it, what action scenes have I ever filmed?" Qi Hui presented evidence and reasoned with the audience.

“The Living Buddha Ji Gong, Chen Liang!” Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile, her eyes darting around.

They showed absolutely no respect.

"Ahem...that's special effects and stunt doubles," Qi Hui said with a light cough.

“...That seems to be true.” Wang Luodan thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

He reluctantly believed Qi Hui's words.

After all, the character Qi Hui plays isn't Xie Ruolin or Hong Shixian, the kind of protagonist who's always spouting sleazy nonsense; it's more like Wang Xiaojian, that effeminate guy.

Although he wasn't exactly frail, he couldn't possibly break Zhen Zidan's leg.

“That’s right.” Qi Hui chuckled. “I already told you, I don’t know martial arts.”

Zhao Youting smiled gently, a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and raised his glass in celebration, his smile gentle and refined.

He was just watching the show; it was quite entertaining.
