Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 254: Netizens are urging me to update, so I'm updating the video soon!

The video call with Jing Tian ended quickly. She had to continue her classes after her lunch break, so she couldn't chat with Qi Hui for long.

After hanging up the video call, Qi Hui opened Weibo to browse.

Several days have passed, and my name is still trending on social media.

However, the top spot on the trending searches was snatched away by someone else.

The top trending topic was taken by Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping, whose so-called golden partnership has broken down due to a conflict.

Zhang Yimou said he hadn't received his director's fee for many years and accused Zhang Weiping of exploitation and shamelessness.

Zhang Dazui said that he sold his house to help Zhang Yimou film "The Flowers of War," but ended up losing everything.

Then the two were revealed to have disagreements on their creative philosophies.

Zhang Dazui is an exaggerated, flamboyant person who enjoys lively scenes.

In "Curse of the Golden Flower", he insisted that Zhang Yimou must use Zhou Jielun.

Zhang Yimou was initially very opposed to it, saying, "Why would you use a singer to make a movie?"
But Zhang Dazui forcibly forced Zhang Yimou to use it.

Besides this, there's also "The Flowers of War".

Zhang Weiping forcibly changed the script, demanding that Ni Ni's character, Zhao Yumo, must have sex with the foreigner played by Christopher Bell.

He felt it would be too disappointing if he didn't participate; he felt no connection with the program.

His reason wasn't about the plot or the production cost; it was simply that it was disappointing and he didn't feel anything.

The reason for changing the play was simply to spoil the fun.

What a fuck!

Besides interfering in Zhang Yimou's creative work, he also interfered in Zhang Yimou's life. It is said that Zhang Dazui was also involved in the matter of Zhang Yimou being reported for having more children than allowed.

Seeing this, netizens did not hesitate to support Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou is still a highly respected director, while Zhang Dazui is truly annoying; everything he does is so exaggerated and over-the-top.

Many of the tricks used by UC Shock Department were learned from him.

And why the hell are you interfering with the creative process?
Especially "The Flowers of War," which practically sends its own country's women to foreigners. How shameless is that?

Soon, netizens overwhelmingly supported Zhang Yimou and angrily condemned Zhang Weiping.

Of course, netizens are netizens, and public opinion is public opinion.

Many media outlets still published articles supporting Zhang Weiping.

The two sides were arguing fiercely, and that's how it became the top trending topic.

Many netizens felt physically uncomfortable with Zhang Weiping, this lewd old man, and after hurling insults, they went to Qi Hui's Weibo to frantically urge him to update his posts.

Qi Hui should update the video quickly; seeing that lewd old man makes me sick.

Quickly grab his trending topic and stop him from appearing in the news again.

Qi Hui was speechless for a moment. What does this have to do with me?
I'm having a great time enjoying this melon!

However, to be fair, Zhang Weiping, that sleazy old man, is indeed disgusting to look at.

Since that's the case, let's do as netizens say and try to steal his trending topic!

Qi Hui stroked his chin. So, the question is, how do you get on the trending topics list?

Qi Hui's eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with a solution. As for trending topics... didn't those public intellectuals send him, Qi Hui, to the top of the trending topics list before?
He is currently in the United States, and what he cares about most about in the US is the public intellectuals in China.

Since that's the case, then let the public intellectuals suffer, and let the United States bear the brunt of the criticism!

……

the next day.

Paramount was still on holiday on Sunday.

Qi Hui contacted the security guard from yesterday, gathered Wu Jing and the others, and with their cameras, headed towards the slums of Los Angeles.

That's right, what Qi Hui is going to do this time is very simple: to take a pat on the back of those drug addicts in the slums.

Let the netizens in China see just how dark the so-called paradise on earth and beacon of freedom, as touted by public intellectuals, really is.

This is not the information explosion era we will experience more than a decade from now.

These days, the mobile internet is still in its infancy, and everything is still in its early stages.

Smartphones don't even have full-screen displays yet.

WiFi Master Key is still the same clean and tidy master key, focused on unlocking.

Even UC Browser hasn't become UC Shocking News yet. In this era, exposing the zombie-like drug addicts in American slums is no less than a cyber bomb.

In fact, even ten years later, when Chinese netizens first saw the video of the incident on Kensington Street in Philadelphia, they were still incredibly shocked.

Where is Philadelphia?
That's one of the oldest cities in America. During the Revolutionary War, they held two Continental Congresses and one Constitutional Convention here.

It was even once the capital of the United States.

And yet, in such a city, there are so many drug addicts who are like walking corpses.

If someone tells you that Xi'an, the former capital of China and the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, was chaotic, dilapidated, lacked public order, was poor and backward, and that its people lived in dire straits.

Do you believe it?
No one will choose to believe it!

But in the United States, this is the situation in Philadelphia.

As a former capital, it has lost all its former glory and is now a den of iniquity.

Drug addicts, homeless people, drug dealers, and all sorts of degenerate people converge here, making it a veritable zombie capital.

Los Angeles is not Philadelphia, but it is California's City of Angels.

People from all over the world gathered here, making it even more chaotic than Philadelphia.

This is especially true in slums.

For safety reasons, Qi Hui hired the security guard and his men as bodyguards and drove slowly toward the slums of Los Angeles.

Inside the slowly moving van.

There were seven people in the car: the driver, the security guard Robert, and his partner Fao Frank.
The remaining four were Qi Hui, Wu Jing, Guo Fan, and Lu Yang.

This time, Qi Hui was in charge of filming the outside with the camera, while Lu Yang was in charge of filming the shocked Wu Jing and Guo Fan.

As for Wu Jing and Guo Fan, all they need to do is be shocked.

Qi Hui has far too many things to consider!

"Boss, we're almost there," the driver said. "Just turn right and we'll be there."

Upon hearing this, Robert and Frank gripped the lever and pulled hard.

With a "click," the bolt was pulled back to chamber a round, and then the safety was engaged.

They are prepared to respond to any emergencies.

There are too many desperados, drug dealers, and drug addicts who are out of their minds here.

We must go all out, otherwise we may not be able to get the final payment.

"Continue according to plan," Qi Hui said. "Don't worry, we won't get off the bus."

Upon hearing this, Robert and his two companions breathed a slight sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful.

If they don't get off the bus, the mission will be easier; if they do, their reward will be more generous.

But it doesn't matter, I'll make money no matter what!
"Why don't you get out of the car?" Guo Fan asked. "It's just a slum, is it really necessary to be so serious about it?"

He glanced at Robert and Frank, who were holding guns and with tense muscles, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"To be honest, Qi Hui," Wu Jing said, "you've gone a bit overboard with this."

Being in a car with two loaded rifles made him, to be honest, a little nervous.

What if it goes off accidentally?

This is no joke!
"Senior, what's in this slum?" Lu Yang asked, as the camera panned across Qi Hui.

All they knew was that Qi Hui had brought them here to film something.

But they didn't know what they were going to film.

They also lacked any understanding of the true situation in the United States.

After all, in their past world, America was such a wonderful place, such a paradise on earth.

"Hehe..." Qi Hui smiled meaningfully: "You'll know when we get there."

Young people are young people after all; it's time to broaden their horizons.

As they spoke, the van swerved and slowly entered a dirty street.

The most unbearable side of the United States was slowly revealed to Wu Jing and his companions.

The information cocoon that public intellectuals have meticulously woven for decades has been utterly shattered at this moment.
