Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 283 Elbow, come into the house with me!

Time flies, and as the year draws to a close, the hype surrounding the Spring Festival film season is gradually building.

Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Huang Bo's "101st Proposal", and Guo Fucheng and Wang Baoqiang's "Better and Better"...

The audience born in the 1980s and 1990s has grown up, especially those born at the end of the 1980s.

They had watched Stephen Chow's movies since they were young, and secretly decided that since they owed Stephen Chow so many movie tickets, they had to make up for it this time.

So I thought that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I would take my wife and children to buy a movie ticket for Stephen Chow.

The romantic film "101st Proposal" starring Huang Bo and Lin Zhiling has also attracted a lot of attention.

An ugly man and a beautiful woman, and it's a romance movie—that makes it very interesting.

Qi Hui looked at Lin Zhiling on the poster, but didn't feel anything. Instead, a picture came to mind.

Putting on the glasses, I saw Kurosawa and Kurosawa Shirarei.

Taking off my glasses, I saw Tabuchi the old scoundrel and Hatano-sensei.

I can no longer look at Lin Zhiling the same way.

Besides these popular movies, there are also quite a few imported films.

Of course, due to the unfamiliarity with the local environment, most of them were released ahead of schedule.

For example, Skyfall, which was Daniel Craig's first 007 film.

Whether it's good or bad is a matter of opinion; Qi Hui didn't feel anything about it, as he didn't like this film series.

Because Daniel Craig's second James Bond film was *Spectre*.

The question is, what is Spectre?
It's very simple. Just read the most famous statement in the world, and you'll know what Spectre is.

"Huchihuchi~"

Qi Hui ran at high speed on the treadmill, panting heavily and sweating profusely.

He's exercising to lose muscle mass.

Preparing to play the lead role of Xiao Heyun in "The Beginning".

Web series don't have as many restrictions, and the script Xiao Yang submitted was quickly approved, so filming can begin after the New Year.

Therefore, Qi Hui is training and shaping his body.

In the story, Xiao Heyun is a white-collar worker and game architect who has only recently graduated.

Qi Hui wanted to make himself look thinner, not as strong as he was now.

Otherwise, with bulging muscles, how can he look like a corporate slave?

Not only Qi Hui, but Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang are also making preparations.

Lao Ling's role is the captain of the criminal investigation team, so he needs to have the rough skin and dark complexion of a criminal investigator who has been through many hardships.

They also need to have the sharp, capable, and decisive demeanor of a brigade leader.

Qi Hui gave Xiao Zhang the role of Rudy, who in the original work is a hardcore anime and manga fan and has a super chuunibyou (delusional) nickname:

Lou, the Cat's Apostle, the Asthma Conqueror, the Chosen One of Light, Dee!
Just reading this gives me goosebumps.

Qi Hui thought for a moment and changed Lu Di's character design, changing Lu Di's name to Lu Xiaoyu.

This also transformed him from a hardcore anime and manga enthusiast into a hardcore martial arts enthusiast.

The one chosen by the light also became the chivalrous Lu Xiaoyu.

The main problem is that the anime and manga culture hasn't really taken off in the country yet.

It belongs to a niche culture.

Although smartphones have appeared in large numbers, they are not yet widely available these days.

Many people do not yet have smartphones, especially middle school students, most of whom are using feature phones that their parents no longer use.

And they are enthusiasts of anime and manga culture.

Since he couldn't achieve cultural advancement, Qi Hui could only pursue cultural revival.

Now is the time when martial arts culture is on the verge of decline, and everyone feels a sense of familiarity with it.

After all, martial arts dramas have been incredibly popular over the past decade.

The 03 versions of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" starring Hu Jun and "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" starring Gao Yuanyuan.

"Water Moon Cave" (04), "The World's Finest" (05)

There's also Liu Yifei's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" from 06...

The hype hasn't even died down yet.

The new version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" that invited Qi Hui to star.

Yu Zheng is working on a gender-swapped version of Dongfang Bubai from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

In a year or two, Chen Yanxi will star in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," a drama filled with countless memes.

Therefore, compared to anime and manga culture, martial arts culture is more familiar to people today.

It's normal for a teenager with delusions of grandeur to dream of becoming a martial arts master, right?
Qi Hui's character, Jiang Xiaoyu, is also this kind of person, constantly talking about Guo Jing, Qiao Feng, Yang Guo, and Linghu Chong.

The reason for changing Lu Di's name to Lu Xiaoyu was also because of this. As for the web series "The Peerless Master: The Great Hero Lu Xiaoyu," that was a coincidence.

Also, Rudy's secret base in the original work, which is full of anime and manga culture... that's easy to handle too.

Qi Hui's house has a bunch of things he took from the film crew, which is perfect for him to use.

For example, Chen Liang's ancient costumes and silver spear in "The Living Buddha Ji Gong".

The brown ancient costume and bamboo slips from "Painted Skin 2".

There are also the Tang swords that were taken from "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" and the official residence of the Minister of Justice.

Besides Qi Hui's, Lao Ling also got quite a few things, so now they can make the best use of them.

Dick dick~
When the treadmill timer ended, Qi Hui slowly stepped off, supporting himself on his knees with his hands, feeling a dull ache in his trachea and lungs.

Half an hour later, after recovering, Qi Hui went to take a shower.

Jing Tian went back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year, leaving him all alone here.

This made Qi Hui feel a little uncomfortable. Jing Tian, ​​who was usually so talkative and always clinging to him, had suddenly disappeared, and he felt uneasy all over.

Thus, Qi Hui devoted his energy to exercise and body shaping... mainly to expend his excess energy.

He can't look at any pictures of beautiful women or anything revealing right now, otherwise it's like he's taken sildenafil citrate.

Fortunately, Qi Hui doesn't have megalophobia, otherwise he would have been scared to death by his own brother.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qi Hui relaxed by going to the cinema.

The main purpose is to understand market dynamics.

The Spring Festival film season is a crucial period for understanding market dynamics.

The theater was packed with adults and children, chattering and making a lot of noise.

Qi Hui sat in the corner, not feeling annoyed at all, but watching them with great interest.

Hopefully, they'll still be this happy when the movie starts.

Soon, the movie started, and both adults and children were excited and full of anticipation.

Journey to the West is suitable for all ages.

Stephen Chow, well, he's into nonsensical comedies.

This kind of movie is perfect for watching happily during the Chinese New Year.

But soon, the adults and children stopped laughing.

The movie scenes are somewhat creepy. At the beginning, Sha Wujing eats people, in the middle, Zhu Bajie's face changes from a human face to a pig face, and later, Sun Wukong bites Wu Chilin... cough, I mean Shi Xingyu.

The terrifying, bizarre, and bloody scenes made many children tremble with fear.

Even adults are finding it hard to handle.

He glanced at his child, then decisively took the child and his family and left.

I'm not watching anymore!
Soon, viewers' reactions were posted online, with many parents complaining that the film was bloody and frightening, and did not conform to the classic novel "Journey to the West".

But soon someone jumped out and argued that this was the real Journey to the West.

Do you really think Journey to the West is just like the 86 TV series?
The original work contains many terrifying and bloody scenes.

For a time, the two sides were arguing heatedly, discussing Journey to the West, which eventually turned into online politics.

The closer one gets to Mount Ling, the more ferocious the monsters become.

After the story of the true and false Monkey Kings, is Sun Wukong still the same Sun Wukong who came from Flower Fruit Mountain?

These netizens are truly hilarious; they can't resist discussing politics even during the Chinese New Year.

……

evening.

Qi Hui went home, but found something was wrong as soon as he got to the door.

Upon opening the door and entering, he found Jing Tian busy inside, with a sumptuous dinner waiting for him.

"Didn't you... go back to your hometown?" Qi Hui asked in surprise, "Why did you come back?"

"Ugh... I missed you." Jing Tian hummed, a little unhappy but also a little happy.
"So I'm back."

"Come on, let's eat." She pulled Qi Hui to sit down.

"Well... I've been trying to control my weight lately," Qi Hui said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Really?" Jing Tian smiled even more broadly. "Then I'll help you."

"Uh...how can I help?"

"Come on, come inside with me!" Jing Tian pulled Qi Hui up, not even bothering to eat.

Qi Hui: “…”
