Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 288 Movie VS Web Series: The Advantage Lies With Me!
imperial capital.

Soon, Teng Huatao, who was filming "Waiting for the Wind," saw the video.

After glancing at it briefly, Teng Huatao's face turned green.

Snapped!
The phone flew into the air, hit the ground, and shattered into pieces.

"Hold!"

Ni Ni, Jing Boran, and the others were startled. They first looked up, then quickly looked down.

Teng Huatao has a terrible temper, almost like he has irregular periods. During work, he often goes on a tirade of angry words and curses. Calling him a "tyrant on set" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

In the director's studio, Teng Huatao, short and stout, turned around, his anger growing increasingly difficult to suppress.

He immediately grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Attention all departments, we'll start filming in three minutes. Try to finish as quickly as possible!"

His original plan was to film until July or August, with several months of post-production and several months of promotion.

It should be released by the end of the year.

But not now. That damned Qi Hui dared to say such things about him.

He must demonstrate his abilities and prove himself!

Didn't that bastard Qi Hui say that his "Waiting for the Wind" was no good?

Then hurry up and film it, and release it as soon as possible!

I refuse to believe that my movie can't beat your web series.

Movies vs. web series: the advantage is mine!
On the other hand, Ni Ni and Jing Boran didn't react much. This project was actually initiated two years ago.

Last year, the filming was done slowly, taking quite a while.

If we can shoot it quickly, that would be best.

They need to finish filming quickly so they can take on the next project and earn money!

Weibo
Two video websites and three internet companies updated their interview videos on Weibo around the same time.

Soon, netizens who enjoy watching the spectacle arrived.

Of these three videos, the one from Sohu's official account is the most interesting.

The other two shows were edited normally, cutting out the unprofessional laughter during the interviews and giving more screen time to Qi Hui, as well as Jing Tian and Ling Xiaosu.

Especially when these two can't help but laugh.

This increased the video's entertainment value and also generated more buzz.

Sohu's official account, however, did not do this. In addition to the above, Sohu also included many clips of Indian street vendors cooking.

For these internet companies, finding such videos couldn't be easier.

When netizens heard Qi Hui's comments about Teng Huatao and saw the yellowish-brown food on the streets of India, they couldn't help but grimace.

Is this Teng Huatao's movie?

That's a vivid analogy. Damn it, Qi Hui is a genius!

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! I thought Qi Hui was an actor, but I never imagined he was going to be a director. In reality, he's a comedian!"

"It's such a shame he's not a comedian. Those few words made me laugh so hard..."

"An actor who doesn't want to be a director can't be a good comedian!"

"Who is Teng Huatao? I've never heard of him."

"A director, the one who made 'Dwelling Narrowness'."

"Isn't he a TV drama director? What kind of movie is he going to direct?"

"Just pursuing art."

"How dare he, a TV drama director, criticize Qi Hui for making web dramas?"

"Exactly, isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?"

"Furthermore, Qi Hui's web series hasn't even been filmed yet, and he's already saying it's no good?"

"So this person is no good."

"I checked, and he really is short and stocky, fat and doesn't exercise. Hahaha, that's a great description."

"No wonder Qi Hui said his movies were like shit, turns out he himself is a pile of shit."

China Film
Han Sanping browsed the news online, feeling both amused and exasperated.

This Qi Hui really can stir up a storm no matter what he does.

Even though he was not in China but in the United States a while ago, he still managed to cause chaos among public intellectuals.

These days, even making a web series can cause such a stir.

"Web series..." Han Sanping muttered. At first, he was indeed somewhat dissatisfied. Qi Hui's decision to return from his studies and not make movies, but instead produce web series, did make him a little unhappy.

However, after reading the script for "The Beginning," Han Sanping, who had been immersed in the film industry for many years, naturally realized that the script was not suitable for a film.

Even when adapted into a movie script, it couldn't pass censorship. Firstly, it was suspected of plagiarism; secondly, some scenes contained dialogue that was too sharp for the film to be shown.

And it's not even astringent.

This kid's up to no good!

Qi Hui wanted to turn it into a movie, but Han Sanping wouldn't let him.

Devil
Yang Mi, who was filming "Tiny Times," couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw the news online.

Qi Hui, that guy, can make such a big fuss over a web series.

That idiot Teng Huatao is really something, why did he have to bring up Qi Hui for no reason?
Isn't this just giving him more attention?

At this moment, Guo Jingming walked over, leaned on Yang Mi's shoulder, and looked at the screen.

Yang Mi frowned, but did not push Guo Jingming away.

"Fancy and superficial." Guo Jingming shook his head: "This Qi Hui doesn't focus on polishing his work and telling a good story. He definitely won't last long."

Yang Mi stood up, broke free from Guo Jingming, chuckled, and did not comment.

How dare you, Guo Jingming, say such a thing?

The novel is plagiarized, and Tiny Times has no story at all... Although Yang Mi is an actress, you can still tell the quality of a basic story.

If it weren't for the high salaries offered by "Tiny Times," the large number of actors, and Guo Jingming's constant antics attracting attention, it would have been a different story.

She really didn't dare to take on this role.

From the very beginning, the movie "Tiny Times" bears the deep imprint of Guo Jingming.

Not Yang Mi.

This is also why Yang Mi took on this role: high box office, good reputation, another representative work for her, increased fame, and she can benefit from it.

If the movie flops at the box office and he gets a terrible reputation, that's Guo Jingming's problem. He's the one who made the whole thing.

Actually, Yang Mi had considered acting with Qi Hui, but as soon as Qi Hui answered the phone, Jing Tian's voice came from the other end.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that the drama was intended for Jing Tian.

Yang Mi completely lost interest; she couldn't possibly play a supporting role to Jing Tian, ​​could she?
Jing Tian might be willing, but she's not!

I played a supporting role in the movie "Love is Not Blind" once, and then the two of them got together.

If she's still around next time, will the two of them get married?
Outrageous!

……

Huairou

In a spacious room resembling a warehouse, men and women were busy at work.

The rustling of papers turning and the clicking of keyboards and mice filled the air.

Qi Hui walked slowly among them, a look of surprise on his face.

The armor of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was taking shape, and there were also many finished swords, shields, spears, and the like.

There are all kinds of styles available, and a single knife can have a variety of accessories and decorations.

This is actually Lu Yang's studio.

"Senior brother, how was it?" Lu Yang asked smugly.

"Very good." Qi Hui nodded, then drew a goose-feather knife and brandished it. It was alright, quite easy to handle.

Beside her, a girl looked up and glanced at the keyboard before continuing to type.

She's a screenwriter, currently working on the plot.

Of course, Lu Yang is also a screenwriter.
He is both a director and a screenwriter.

Clang!
Sheathing his sword, Qi Hui nodded in satisfaction. This sword is quite good.

He had an idea in mind: to move Lu Yang's props away and decorate a room for the chivalrous Lu Xiaoyu.

Especially the armor and clothes of the Imperial Guards, how cool they are!
Since it belongs to Lu Yang anyway, might as well use it!
Jingle bell bell~
Just then, his phone rang. Qi Hui picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Zhang calling.

"Hello? Ruoyun?" Qi Hui answered, but quickly his expression turned to one of toothache:
"What? You don't want to play Lu Xiaoyu, but you want to play the policeman Jiang Feng?"

Qi Hui prepared so much... well, actually he didn't prepare much, just some props he had collected before... cough cough.

“Okay, then take a look at Jiang Feng’s script. I’ll find another actress to play Lu Xiaoyu.” Qi Hui thought for a moment and didn’t object.

This kid probably felt that Lu Xiaoyu's role had too few scenes, and that he was also wearing a mask.

Okay, now that I think about it, it really doesn't suit Xiao Zhang.

This kind of role is actually more suitable for new actors.

"Ahem, senior brother, have you finished dealing with your business?" Lu Yang asked with a smile, subconsciously rubbing his hands together.

Qi Hui's brows furrowed. Why did this kid have that expression? Did he want to borrow money from me?
