Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 325 Terrible movie, terrible movie, and fucking terrible movie.

On the third day of the film's release, Xu Ke and Chen Guofu, along with Qi Hui, Ling Xiaosu, Lin Gengxin, Yang Tianbao, and others, embarked on a nationwide roadshow.

Thanks to effective pre-launch promotion, box office performance was good, with each day showing an increase compared to the previous day.

Therefore, Qi Hui and his group's roadshow task was much easier than usual.

After all, it's a holiday now, and there aren't any other strong teams around.

Coupled with the immense popularity of "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," and with many other factors combined, the importance of roadshows naturally diminished somewhat.

A few days later, the box office figures were released, showing a first-week box office of 3.8 million yuan, truly leading the pack by a wide margin.

Meanwhile, the highest-grossing film released at the same time was "Out of Inferno," starring Louis Koo and Sean Lau, which only grossed slightly over 9 million in its opening week.

The title of "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" is firmly in the top spot for this National Day holiday box office; no competitor can challenge it.

After several days of promotional tours, Qi Hui returned to the "Battle of Changsha" crew in Hunan Province; Lao Ling returned to the "Red Sorghum" crew in Shandong Province.

It's no longer their business with the Dragon King of the Divine Capital.

When Lao Ling left... cough, when he left, he had a smile on his face.

With these box office figures as a foundation, he spoke with more confidence when facing the bigwigs of the "Red Sorghum" crew.

Qi Hui is almost... Oh, I almost forgot, he's the chairman, he doesn't need these.

Not many people in the "Battle of Changsha" crew dared to bare their teeth at him.

……

The film crew of "Battle of Changsha," on set, at a restaurant.

Director Zhang Kaizhou nodded to Kong Sheng and raised his hand to indicate that everything was ready.

"Alright, Scene 357, Shot 1 of 'Battle of Changsha,' action!" Kong Sheng shouted.

Immediately, the extras, who already knew their positions, began to slowly move around the restaurant, turning it into a bustling and lively place.

Qi Hui was dressed in a gray-blue military uniform, with his "uncle" standing beside him in a straw-yellow military uniform.

"Brother Xu?" Ren Chengwei, who plays the brother-in-law Xue Junshan, called out with a look of regret.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, today was really unlucky. My sister-in-law twisted her ankle as soon as I stepped out the door, which made me late. I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry."

Qi Hui, who plays Gu Qingming, exchanged a glance with his "uncle," looking somewhat surprised and a little strange.

Beside her, Hu Xiangxiang, played by Jing Tian, ​​initially looked indignant, but when she looked up, she was slightly startled, her eyes widening involuntarily.

This scene is about preparing for a blind date, but in the previous scene, Gu Qingming and Hu Xiangxiang had already met, on the street.

Qi Hui stood on the steps, his expressionless face slightly turned, looking down at "Hu Xiangxiang".

His face was expressionless, his eyes were unwavering, but his expression subtly shifted.

Compared to the previous shots, it has a softer feel.

Kong Sheng looked at the monitor and couldn't help but take a sip of water. This kid... no, our chairman is so young, how come his acting is so meticulous?

Even he could tell that she was somewhat infatuated.

"..."

"Okay, actors, take a break. Next scene in five minutes," Kong Sheng called out, watching the progress on the monitor.

These are all veteran actors with superb acting skills; no one made a mistake.

Jing Tian breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed slightly, and then picked up the script to start reading.

In the next scene, she will "teach Qi Hui a lesson," and she has quite a few lines.

Qi Hui was also thinking about the next scene.

This was Gu Qingming and Hu Xiangxiang's first formal meeting, which was actually a blind date.

Qi Hui was portrayed as falling in love at first sight, which fit the character's personality.

However, Gu Qingming is a cold and handsome man, and a cold and handsome man who is focused on his career, so it is quite difficult to portray his love at first sight.

Soon, Kong Sheng called out from the director's booth, and Qi Hui and Jing Tian immediately perked up.

This scene sets the tone for the relationship between the male and female leads and is crucial for the development of the plot later on, so it cannot be taken lightly.

Fortunately, Qi Hui's acting was decent. Jing Tian, ​​having prepared beforehand, also did a good job.

The whole scene only needed two takes before it was done.

"Very good, pass!" Kong Sheng shouted.

……

rest area

Qi Hui breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously unbuttoned the top button around his neck, and sat down in the chair.

This military uniform is somewhat similar to a Zhongshan suit; it's really tight around the neck.

In the distance, the crew members wisely refrained from disturbing them.

When filming first started, Chairman Qi Hui's identity was already common knowledge, so ordinary people naturally didn't dare to approach him.

As for the senior management of Daylight Entertainment... they are all veteran cadres. They may not be particularly good, but they are definitely stable.

Knowing Qi Hui's preferences, they naturally wouldn't bother him unnecessarily.

Qi Hui scrolled through his phone, browsing the latest entertainment news. There weren't many movies being released recently; it was the off-season.

However, Youku Tudou did collaborate with Pengcheng TV to host the Youth Choice Annual Awards Ceremony.

Qi Hui looked at the organizer and thought it was being held in Shenzhen, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was at the Olympic Sports Center in the capital.

Like Louis XVI, he was somewhat perplexing.

At this moment, Jing Tian suddenly came over with her computer, her face showing excitement and pride.

Qi Hui looked up at her, somewhat puzzled.

"My agency sent me a few scripts, can you take a look?" Jing Tian chuckled, with a hint of boasting.

Qi Hui was taken aback at first, then his eyes twitched. This girl's agency... their judgment is probably not very good.

The screen turned on, and a blockbuster movie immediately came into view: *The Crossing*.

The film, produced by Galloping Horse Investment, is directed by John Woo and stars Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, and others.

Jing Tian's role is that of a wealthy heiress named Zhou Yunfen, who falls in love at first sight with an anti-Japanese general played by Huang Xiaoming.

Qi Hui's lips twitched. John Woo, that flop... If I remember correctly, that movie almost bankrupted Little Horse Film Company, right?

"How is it?" Jing Tian asked expectantly. The role she was given was a beautiful and kind-hearted rich heiress.

She's absolutely perfect for this kind of role!

"This is not good," Qi Hui said.

"Ah... what's wrong with it?" Jing Tian said, feeling wronged. She had finally gotten a big production offer.

"The director is bad, and the actors are bad too." Qi Hui coughed lightly and said, "Think about what John Woo is. He's a flop, and everything he makes flops."

"Have you forgotten his 'Windtalkers'? It almost bankrupted MGM."

"And in 'Red Cliff,' John Woo's wife interfered haphazardly, but he didn't stop her. Lin Zhiling's lines about Mengmeng standing up were added by his wife."

"You also want to say 'Mengmeng, stand up!'?"

As he spoke, Qi Hui glanced at Jing Tian.

“Uh…” Jing Tian paused for a moment, then slowly nodded: “That makes sense.”

Besides these, the script actually contains some nudity scenes.

Of course, it's not hers, it belongs to Zhang Ziyi.

Looking at it this way, the script doesn't seem that great.

"Okay, then let's ignore this." Jing Tian immediately dismissed the script.

Qi Hui breathed a slight sigh of relief, but before he could fully relax, Jing Tian pulled up another script and asked with great interest:
"And this one? 'One Step Away'?"

"There are rumors that Jiang Wen's new work is a sequel to 'Let the Bullets Fly'."

Qi Hui: “…”
