Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 326 The female lead is given to Yang Mi? I'll beat you to death!
After a long silence, Qi Hui slowly asked, "Can you understand this script?"

"Uh... I don't understand." Jing Tian shook her head and answered truthfully.

Jiang Wen's films are notoriously difficult to understand.

Sometimes I have no idea what they're talking about.

"So how do you plan to act?" Qi Hui asked. "Continue to be a decorative vase?"

"Never mind then." Jing Tian readily agreed, immediately dismissing the script and then pulling up a folder, placing it in front of Qi Hui.

“There are three books left. Can you help me see which one I can act in?” Jing Tian said.

Qi Hui stared at it closely and felt an urge to format the computer.

From Vegas to Macau, The Monkey King, and The White-Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom.

Terrible movie, terrible movie, and still a fucking terrible movie!
Qi Hui felt a chill run down his spine. No wonder Qian Tian, ​​with such good resources, couldn't become popular after her time travel. With the talent agency's poor judgment, it would be a miracle if she became famous.

No, we can't let Jing Tian act in these terrible movies.

Qi Hui finally managed to pull Jing Tian back up with the help of "Love is Not Blind" and "The Beginning".

She shouldn't waste her Best Actress award on these terrible movies.

Before "The Beginning," Jing Tian was going to make bad movies; after "The Beginning," Jing Tian was still going to make bad movies.

Wasn't Qi Hui's hard work on "The Beginning" all for nothing?

"Ahem... Tian Tian." Qi Hui took her hand and said, "I have a film that I'd like you to play the lead role in. How about we skip these movies?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian was somewhat surprised: "Huh? When did you start a new project? How come I didn't know?"

During this period, Qi Hui was busy filming "Battle of Changsha" and promoting "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon". He was so busy that he was practically running around, yet he still had the energy to work on a new drama.

"It happened during the roadshow. You know how inspiration is, it comes like a sudden downpour, you can't stop it when it comes, and you can't stop it when it goes." Qi Hui made up a story casually.

"What kind of analogy is this?" Jing Tian was speechless. This analogy was almost as bad as Station Chief Wu's.

However, Jing Tian's attention was still on the new play that Qi Hui had mentioned, and she immediately asked, "What kind of play is it?"

"Um... police officer, you're playing a policewoman." Qi Hui continued to ramble on, thinking that this kind of role was challenging and that Jing Tian would like it.

"I've played a policewoman before," Jing Tian said, tilting her head.

"You've forgotten 'Ultimate Decoding'?"

Because of that movie, Qi Hui even broke Zhen Zidan's leg.

"Is that so?" Qi Hui was startled; he had really forgotten.

After all, beating up Donnie Yen isn't a big deal.

“That’s different. Your role is… well, a policewoman during a special historical period.” Qi Hui rambled on, “Yes, yes, a policewoman right after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.”

The phrase "special historical period" cannot be used indiscriminately. Apart from that period, it can only be used to describe the early days after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Really?" Hearing this, Jing Tian became interested and quickly asked, "What kind of play is it?"

How would I know... Qi Hui felt a chill run down his spine, but one lie can only be maintained by hundreds of lies.

Qi Hui coughed lightly, slowed his speech, and began to speak:

"As you know, I've only ever filmed web series with about ten episodes, so this time I want to challenge myself with a TV series with a normal number of episodes."

Filming TV dramas takes a long time, so Jing Tian doesn't have time to think about those bad movies anymore.

"Oh..." Jing Tian nodded slightly, agreeing.

Moreover, TV dramas are quite popular now, and many people enjoy watching them.

"So what kind of role do I play?" Jing Tian pressed, "What kind of policewoman?"

"Look, you're in a hurry again?" Qi Hui said, his mind racing. He felt a sharp pain in his teeth and knew he was about to give himself away if he kept talking.

We need to find a real TV series to deal with this… Ah, I remember now! A glint flashed in Qi Hui's eyes. Back when the country was first established, police officers, policewomen… I've got it!
"Ahem... here's the thing," Qi Hui said. "This is a TV series that reflects the first generation of public security officers in our country."

"The enemy, of course, is the Military Intelligence Bureau and those bastards from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

"I play the lead role, and you are my partner."

Jing Tian asked, "So, will we still do it the same way as before... dating while solving cases together?"

“No, let’s try something different this time.” Qi Hui laughed, “You and I are sworn enemies, we just can’t stand each other.”

"You, on the other hand, are playing a highly educated student who has returned from studying in Moscow. You are technically skilled and capable."

“I play a local character, and we two don’t get along, and I often offend you, how about that?”

"That sounds pretty good..." Jing Tian found it more and more interesting as she listened.

Seeing this, Qi Hui pressed on, saying, "Let me go over this play with you. First of all, the story takes place before Beiping was liberated."

"Then the protagonists of the story, that is, us, entered as the first group to peacefully take over."

"Next, we faced all sorts of spies, gangs, and people from all walks of life in the city."

"We didn't get along from the start, but we have to keep working together for the sake of the job."

"Then, that's when the differences arose. You followed the Soviet academic school, while I followed the local school. The two sides didn't get along, so there was a conflict."

"Will we end up together?" Jing Tian asked.

"What do you think?" Qi Hui thought for a moment, then asked instead of answering.

"Well..." Jing Tian frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "Weren't we together in 'Battle of Changsha'?"

"Or maybe we should just skip this one. It'll be handled the same way as 'The Beginning,' a tragedy."

“This…” Qi Hui thought for a moment and said, “The ‘Beginning’ is too heavy.”

"Think about it, it's a special historical period, and it involves tragic sacrifices. Although there are such prototypes in history, as a work of art, it tends to fall into clichés."

"How about this," Qi Hui said, "the male and female protagonists confess their feelings for each other, but in the end they are separated because of the appointments made by their superiors."

"They're together, but not completely together."

After all, the tasks were arduous in the early days of the People's Republic of China.
"Hmm~ that works too." Jing Tian nodded, a look of joy appearing on her face.
"When will you turn it on?"

"It will take some more time." Qi Hui coughed lightly. "The set and everything still need to be arranged."

In reality, this TV series currently lacks funding, has undecided actors, and has no script... basically, it has nothing at all.

Jing Tian glanced at Qi Hui, then at the computer: "Then I'll act in a movie first, since you're not in a rush."

"Besides, aren't you going to be making a martial arts movie with Lu Yang's team?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui immediately rolled his eyes: "Fine, if you're not going to act, then I'll find Yang Mi."

"Yang Mi's acting skills are also quite good; she'd have no problem playing a role tailor-made for you..."

"What!" Jing Tian's eyebrows shot up, she grabbed Qi Hui's cheek and said fiercely, "Who did you say you were looking for?"

"Yang...Mi," Qi Hui said innocently, maintaining a professional demeanor.

"No way!" Jing Tian was furious. The role that was tailor-made for me was going to be played by Yang Mi?
The thought of this made her inexplicably angry, extremely angry!

"Who said I wouldn't act? Did I say I wouldn't act?" Jing Tian said fiercely.
"If you dare give the role to Yang Mi, you're dead meat. Believe me or not, I'll beat you to death."

Qi Hui asked hesitantly, "Aren't you supposed to be acting in a movie? Don't you...don't you have time?"

That's too brutal, I'm scared!
"I'm not acting anymore!" Jing Tian said angrily.

"Oh..." Qi Hui nodded weakly, but a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
