Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 251 Sometimes I think, how big does one's fame even have to be to be considered big?

The video update quickly attracted viewers.

Qi Hui originally wanted to put the video of them entering the US military base first, and the video of him kicking an American soldier later.

But after thinking about it, I realized that this might be misleading, so I decided to go with the chronological order.

He didn't study journalism, there's no need for him to do this.

Soon, netizens' comments began to appear:
"Holy crap... no, Xiao Zhuang, you're really fighting with the American troops?"

"Damn, who the hell said special forces are fake? Which active-duty soldier can fight the US military?"

"666, that's awesome!"

"This American is really willing to suffer any loss, hahaha, he even touched Wu Jing's barbecue."

"Damn, isn't this South Korea? Why are American soldiers so arrogant?"

"Hey upstairs, why are you so shocked? Aren't all Americans like this?"

"Exactly, even if you haven't seen it, you must have heard of it at least once, right?"

"I had heard of it, but seeing it with my own eyes was still shocking."

"Indeed, this was filmed by one of our own people. We don't know how outrageous things are that can't be captured on video or that haven't been exposed."

"Excessive? It should be called inhumane. American soldiers have always been undisciplined."

"Yes, the American soldiers have always been a bandit army, a reactionary army."

"Compared to them, Chiang Kai-shek's troops were all incredibly meritorious."

"Old Chiang was quite pitiful. He was good at civil wars but bad at foreign wars. He couldn't even compare to the Americans in bullying men and women and causing havoc on the world. He could do everything, but he was good at nothing."

"Hahaha, why don't you just say he's a piece of trash?"

"Who said he's useless? Wasn't Old Jiang doing a pretty good job as the transport captain?"

"Yes, yes, this cannot be tarnished; his achievements are absolutely outstanding!"

"Hahaha, look what that American soldier at the base said! He actually said that Qi Hui looks like he wants to kill him at any moment?"

"How is this possible!"

"Could it be the legendary killing intent? Did the American soldiers sense it?"

"What murderous aura? Qi Hui, an actor, has killed someone?"

"Actor Qi Hui has never killed anyone, but special forces soldier Qi Hui and marine Qi Hui are another story."

"Exactly! He even said he didn't know martial arts, but he still broke Ip Man's leg, didn't he?"

"Haha, that's hilarious! How did you figure that out?"

"Shouldn't you pay attention to the soldier's other sentence at the beginning? He said our walking posture was arrogant? How were we arrogant?"

"Yeah, Qi Hui and the others walked normally, so why did the American soldiers think that?"

"I don't know, I looked at it too, and I didn't find anything wrong."

"Exactly, swinging his arms and stepping forward, completely unpretentious, I can't find any other adjective to describe him except 'handsome'."

"A bunch of little pinks, it was just a kick, the soldiers didn't even retaliate, what are you all so proud of?"

"Exactly, maybe the American soldiers are just very magnanimous!"

"The anti-China elements are here again, damn it!"

"Hahaha, magnanimous? I think he's just smoked too much hemp and ruined his brain!"

"I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't mentioned it. Damn it, at 4 minutes and 17 seconds, those American soldiers were definitely not smoking ordinary cigarettes."

"Yes, those are clumps of green stuff, definitely not tobacco, more like hemp."

"Damn, what kind of army is this?"

"What's the big deal? The US alone consumes 60-70 percent of the world's banned drugs."

"What the hell? Real or fake?"

"This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me!"

"Damn it, what kind of beacon of democracy is this? Isn't it just a bunch of drug addicts?"

"..."

The discussion quickly shifted from the content of Qi Hui's video to the US military's drug use, and then to the US's drug use.

Then, the focus shifted to the American system, and then netizens started making memes about it.

Various rhetoric used by public intellectuals, such as "What's wrong with this country?", "I'm caught up in my thoughts", etc., were used in turn.

The familiar tactic, the boomerang piercing the heads of public intellectuals.
Previously, it was always public intellectuals criticizing China. Because ordinary netizens didn't have access to information as readily as these intellectuals, they could only endure it, unable to find a way to fight back. But now it's different. Are the American soldiers on drugs?
Let's see how you public intellectuals can keep barking now.

Hehe... promoting banned drugs, saying that even banned drugs are good.

Then let's wait for the iron fist of justice!

On this land of China, we can tolerate your whining and pointing fingers at projects like high-speed rail, the Three Gorges Dam, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

However, there must be no tolerance for any leniency in our attitude toward prohibited drugs.

Public intellectuals are well aware of this and dare not delve into that area, but since this is their livelihood, they quickly found a way in.

For example: Qi Hui's video is fake!

Discussions and arguments began around this topic, with Qi Hui's video being analyzed frame by frame.

Netizens got excited and started refuting the claims frame by frame.

They went back and forth, having a great time.

Soon, Qi Hui dominated the top three trending topics:
1. Qi Hui and Jing Tian won the Best Actor and Actress awards at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

2. Is the video of US soldiers using drugs in Qi Hui's video real or fake? This has sparked heated discussion among many public intellectuals, influential figures, and netizens.

3. Qi Hui bravely fought against the US military; was the special forces soldier not just an actor?
Now, a whole host of entertainment news stories in China have completely lost their buzz and attention.

For example, the divorce and infidelity scandal involving Dong Jie and Pan Yueming.

Feng Shaofeng and Ni Ni officially announced their relationship.

There's also the news about Li Chen and Zhang Xinyu officially announcing their relationship.

Netizens are focused on Qi Hui and the American soldiers, and are not interested in these other things.

What's with all this talk about relationships? Nothing beats political commentary!

Looking at the overwhelming discussions online, Feng Shaofeng felt a sudden toothache.

Fuck!
How come I can't even get a trending topic?
Zhang Xinyu was also very angry. She was very happy with Li Chen, but no one was paying attention to her. Instead, they were paying attention to some American soldier.
Immediately, she intensified her efforts, posting on Weibo a heart-shaped stone that Li Chen had given her as a token of their love.

They claimed that Li Chen found it by chance in one place and picked it up.

Soon, attention and replies followed.

However, it wasn't the netizens who paid attention and responded, but rather the replies from Li Chen's ex-girlfriends.

Ex-girlfriends Zhao Zhuona and Dilinaer, former rumored girlfriend Liu Yun, and others have all come forward.
Zhang Xinyu posted a picture on her Weibo account of the "natural" heart-shaped stone that Li Chen had "found."

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Soon, netizens flocked to the scene, mocking Li Chen, Zhang Xinyu, and the magical natural heart-shaped stone.

The internet was in complete chaos.

The main battlefield was Qi Hui's video, while the secondary force consisted of Zhang Xinyu and Li Chen's heart-shaped stones.

The minor battles were Pan Yueming and Dong Jie's cheating scandal, and the most inconspicuous was the official announcement of Feng Shaofeng and Ni Ni's relationship.

There's so much content, it's impossible to read it all. Netizens are exclaiming: "So satisfying!"

Some netizens dug up old remarks by public intellectuals and called for the bridge to be blown up to cut off their escape route.

Don't worry about saving face. What's the point of saving face online? You can't just come over and hit me through the internet!

Another group of netizens launched a full-scale attack on public intellectuals. No matter who wants to attack public intellectuals, we must stand up for them!
……

In Beijing, Zhang Ziyi was watching the game on her tablet; she had also officially announced her relationship.

love affair with Sa Beining

At first, she was a little worried that being with Xiao Sa might attract negative reviews and opposition from netizens and fans.

But now... the internet is teeming with life, a vibrant and competitive landscape.

Nobody pays any attention to her activities.

"This person is really something, managing to attract so much attention and fame so easily..." Zhang Ziyi muttered sourly.

Her reputation is now utterly ruined. The ink-splashing incident and the charity fraud incident are minor matters; the real trouble is the beach photo incident.

She's basically not getting any big productions these days.

Wang Mojing's "The Grandmaster" was a leading role that she got at a considerable cost.

However, upon seeing Qi Hui, she could easily gain the attention and good reputation she desired, so how could she not be envious?
"This guy is a real talent!" Zhang Ziyi murmured, her finger twitching as she followed Qi Hui on Weibo.

She also dragged her boyfriend, Sa Beining, into paying attention to it.
