Chapter 304 The Unparalleled Detective, Liu Yan's Grand Scene!

A black SUV sped along the road.

Qi Hui was sitting in the back row, looking at his phone and scrolling through Weibo.

He previously announced on Weibo that "The Beginning" would be available on the iQiyi website.

Netizens are now constantly commenting on Weibo.

"Banana Bala, finally here!"

"You rascal, you've finally arrived!"

"Yeah, I'm so bored I could die."

"I'd like to see just how amazing a web series made with 70 million yuan can be."

"How many episodes? It can't be ten million per episode, can it?"

"Ten million what?"

"Hey upstairs, let's not talk about chickens, let's all be civilized."

"..."

"I'm never watching movies again. That damn 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' almost gave me a psychological trauma."

"That's right, why did I wait so long for 'The Beginning'? It's because that thing is truly disgusting!"

Is it really that ugly?

"I saw on the poster that Sister Zhiling is very pretty. Even if the plot isn't great, it's still nice to see a beautiful woman."

"Heh, just ordinary girls, that movie can't save anything."

"That's right, Miss Jing Tian is still the prettiest. She's pure and sweet without any makeup."

"The person upstairs is right. Lin Zhiling is just a vulgar woman. She might as well stay vulgar to the end."

"Exactly! Just invite the dark Lin Zhiling (Yui Hatano) to play the role, and she'll definitely be saved!"

"Hahaha, you're so sexy!"

"Brothers, I have a friend."

"Friend, there's no one else here, just say it's yourself."

"No, I really have a friend who wants it [image], look!"

"Hey guys upstairs, no, no, it's not that serious. Recently, Wen Zhang and Li Lianjie made a movie called 'Badges of Fury,' which has a star-studded cast and should be pretty good."

"Damn, another gathering of big names?"

"Damn it, I absolutely cannot look at this!"

"That's right, the last one that boasted a star-studded cast was 'Switch,' which absolutely disgusted me!"

"..."

Qi Hui looked at the comments, and as expected, the netizens had once again made a mistake; the discussion had gone off-topic.

However, it also reflects the true thoughts of netizens.

"Badges of Fury" was influenced by "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" and its marketing strategy of gathering big names directly triggered a strong reaction from the audience.

In terms of cast, the two films are quite similar: one features A-list celebrities and veteran actors, while the other features a kung fu superstar and rising stars.

With such a familiar sense of déjà vu, how could the audience not have a reaction?

Qi Hui chuckled. Who did the marketing for "Badges of Fury"? So stubborn!

"Brother Jing, why do you always drive an SUV?" Lu Yang asked, touching the car seat, pulling Qi Hui back to reality.

"Rugged, imposing, and practical!" Wu Jing laughed heartily. "This is the kind of car a real man should drive."

Qi Hui looked around and nodded in agreement:
"When you and Ma Li were rumored to be having an affair, were you in this car together?"

"Hahahaha..." Guo Fan couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

He had seen the video of the scandal; Wu Jing and Ma Li got into a rugged black SUV, very similar to the one they were driving now.

At first, when Qi Hui mentioned the rumors between Wu Jing and Ma Li, Guo Fan didn't know what the kid was laughing about.

Later, he went to see a Happy Twist performance and watched Ma Li's bold performance. Guo Fan immediately understood.

Wu Jing laughed, even more shy than Ma Li.

No wonder Xie Nan felt so comfortable introducing his good friend Ma Li to Wu Jing.

Wu Jing's lips twitched; he was at a loss for words.

These friends are really something else!
As they were talking, Wu Jing arrived at the scene in his car. The reason why Qi Hui and the other three were huddled together was because today was a men's event, and they went out together to prevent their female relatives from following them.

If it weren't for this, who would want to squeeze in with these old men?
Get off the bus and enter the venue.

Wen Zhang and Michelle Chen were the ones who greeted them at the door.

As for Li Lianjie, he was old, injured, and of high status, so of course he wouldn't just stand there like that.

Upon seeing the arrival of Qi Hui and his group of four, Chen Yanxi's eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled.

Beside him, the emblem paused for a moment, then slowly straightened its slightly bowed back.

"Hello, Shen Jiayi." Qi Hui glanced past the emblem and looked directly at Chen Yanxi:
"I've seen your movies. You were our first love, our white moonlight."

"Just call me Yanxi~" Chen Yanxi's voice was sweet and soft.

She looked at Qi Hui, her eyes shining, her smile warm and eager.

With her pure and lovely face and temperament, she is very likable.

However, Qi Hui felt an itch in his palm as a soft, white index finger gently rubbed against his palm.

Is this woman flirting with him?

Qi Hui didn't stand on ceremony with her. He gently squeezed her hand with his five fingers.

"Ouch!" Chen Yanxi exclaimed in surprise and quickly withdrew her hand.

Qi Hui's hands were stiff, with many calluses on the web of his hand. When he exerted force like that, Chen Yanxi was in so much pain that she couldn't stop him.

"What's wrong?" Wen Zhang quickly helped Chen Yanxi up, even though she hadn't fallen.

"It's nothing... I was just startled by a bug," Chen Yanxi said with a forced smile. She couldn't very well say that she had tried to flirt but ended up getting beaten up, could she?
Qi Hui looked at the two of them and smiled slightly. If he remembered correctly, the two of them had a special relationship when they were filming "Badges of Fury".

Michelle Chen was adorned with a badge, and the two of them were arm in arm, behaving intimately and ambiguously.

Even when his wife, Ma Yili, came, she didn't restrain herself in the slightest.

Ma Yili also has a role in the film and was also on set.

Qi Hui recalled that Sandra Ng once revealed on a program that Michelle Chen was very innocent and had a very proper demeanor in front of the camera.

But off-camera, they are scantily clad and unrestrained.

"Teacher Wen, we meet again." Qi Hui looked at Wen Zhang, smiled faintly, and greeted him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Wen Zhang tilted his head slightly. He disliked Qi Hui, who was arrogant, haughty, and looked down on everyone.

He acted recklessly because he had some skills, and he didn't respect him or his good brother Teng Huatao.

"Just a gigolo who climbed the social ladder by relying on women..." A hint of disdain flashed in Wenzhang's eyes.

If it weren't for the powerful figures behind him, Teng Huatao and his emblem would have already ruined this arrogant person's reputation!

"Long time no see." Wenzhang shook hands with Qi Hui, only to find that the area between Qi Hui's thumb and forefinger was extremely rough and uncomfortable to hold.

The article didn't seem to care, and he slightly stepped aside to make way for the many celebrities in the screening room behind him.

Famous actors such as Li Lianjie, Liu Sisi, Stephen Fung, Leung Siu-lung, Tong Dawei, and Ma Yili can be vaguely seen.

There's also diving champion Tian Liang, the "Oil King"... cough, and famous actor Huang Xiaoming.

Oh, and Liu Yan too.

Qi Hui came here to see Liu Yan.

"So? How does my movie compare to your web series?" Wenzhang said slowly, a smirk playing on his lips.
Upon hearing this, Qi Hui didn't react yet, but Wu Jing and the other two laughed first.

They glanced around and didn't realize that Chairman Han was also attending.

The emblem is quite interesting; it reflects youthful vigor.

"Very impressive." Qi Hui smiled and nodded, coaxing him like a fool.

Wu Jing and the other two greeted Chen Yanxi and then walked into the screening room with Qi Hui.

However, whether it was intentional or accidental on the part of the organizers, Teng Huatao was standing next to Qi Hui.

With a large, wide face, a bloated belly, and a short, stocky build, Qi Hui couldn't admit his mistake even if he wanted to.

"Oh? Isn't this Director Teng?" Qi Hui raised an eyebrow and greeted him.

Teng Huatao's face suddenly darkened, and he didn't want to speak.

Looking at his expression, Qi Hui smiled wryly.

I wonder if Teng Huatao likes or dislikes this seating arrangement?
