Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 327 is about to wrap up filming, what should I take back with me this time?
Crackling~
The crisp, pleasant sound of blue switch keyboards slowly rose and echoed in the crew's rest area.

The heater gently oscillates and blows, dispelling the chill that comes in.

Winter has arrived, and although the south is not as cold as the north, it is still very uncomfortable, and you can't do without a heater.

Qi Hui sat at the table, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the keyboard, lines of text jumped and appeared on the screen.

He doesn't have any scenes this afternoon, but Jing Tian does.

So Qi Hui wasn't in a hurry to go back. He stayed here to write the script while waiting for Jing Tian.

The things he said to Jing Tian last time were initially false, but later they became true.

In his desperation, Qi Hui actually found a TV series that fit his offhand ramblings: "The Glorious Era".

It's that spy drama that was turned into a comedy by the main actors.

Qi Hui still vividly remembers many famous scenes, such as Bai Ling turning into Hei Ling.

For example, the quartermaster grabbing Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan like chickens, who were overeating, taking more than their share, and then the whole police station being paraded through the streets.

And the interrogation of that Huangpu Special Forces instructor was downright grotesque.

When Qi Hui first saw it while browsing videos, he thought it was a fan-made video with bizarre and humorous lines.

I only found out after watching it that the original series was indeed this absurd.

This TV series is a bit unconventional, but that's precisely its highlight.

Qi Hui hadn't initially planned to produce this TV series, but Jing Tian's search for a bunch of bad movies reminded him of the matter.

However, this TV series is quite long, with over forty to nearly fifty episodes, which made it a bit troublesome for Qi Hui to write.

The good thing is that he was very impressed with the TV series and knew almost everything about the plot.

This TV series, "The Glorious Era," is one of the few long-running dramas he has watched multiple times since he started working, so it left a deep impression on him.

Another TV series he frequently watches is "In the Name of the People".

"Oh? Chairman, busy?" Kong Sheng walked over slowly with his hands behind his back and a walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Director Kong, why are you here instead of watching the monitor?" Qi Hui asked without looking up, continuing to type on the keyboard.

"Xiao Zhang and Xiao Sun are keeping an eye on things over there." Kong Sheng glanced at Qi Hui's computer screen a few times, his movements small but his observations precise.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd done this; they were quite skilled at it.

He had read a few pages of the script and thought it was very good; he was immediately captivated.

Qi Hui's reaction was incredibly sharp; he could easily block Zhen Zidan's marksmanship, let alone an old man's small movements.

However, he pretended not to see it.

"Is something wrong, Director Kong?" Qi Hui asked while typing on the keyboard.

"No...nothing." Kong Sheng coughed lightly. "Well...Chairman, we only have a few scenes left in this play, we're almost done filming."

"I just came to let you know in advance."

"Okay, I understand," Qi Hui said. "Don't worry, it won't interfere with filming."

"Okay." Kong Sheng glanced at the computer screen a few more times before slowly leaving.

Qi Hui watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but chuckle.

The fish is hooked.

The TV series "Glorious Times" is quite long, with many scenes, characters, and storylines, in addition to Lu Yang's "Brotherhood of Blades".

If he were to do it all by himself, he would definitely be exhausted.

He's not a workaholic, so of course he wouldn't work that hard. Therefore, he needs a director to help him out.

However, you can't let the director think you're important.

Directors have a common flaw: they like to insert their own ideas and change the script.

Back when "Painted Skin 2" was being made, Lu Yang, a young and inexperienced actor, was even considering rewriting the script.

If you casually hire someone to be the director, wouldn't that person take advantage of Qi Hui's absence to cause trouble?
So Qi Hui took the script and started writing it down every now and then in front of Kong Sheng, Sun Molong, and Zhang Kaizhou. His only goal was to get a director's job.

Kong Sheng, Sun Molong, and Zhang Kaizhou are all good directors, specializing in shooting long-form TV dramas.

If we could also bring the film crew along, that would be even better.

And then... Kong Sheng took the bait!
He often sneaks over to Qi Hui's side to peek, and now that "Battle of Changsha" is nearing its end, Kong Sheng is probably about to lose his temper.

When the time comes, he, as chairman, can just hold the title of director, and let Kong Sheng and the other two handle the details. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
Filming is a complicated business; as the chairman, he has a lot to consider, while directors only need to focus on making films.

……

Today's scenes are for the supporting actors, plus some scenes and shots, but there are no scenes for Qi Hui and Jing Tian.

The two didn't leave. There's no show during the day, but there is at night. We'll have to wait.

"Hmph! That Du Haitao..."

Qi Hui was typing on the keyboard when he suddenly heard Jing Tian give a cold snort, sounding somewhat angry.

"What's wrong?" Qi Hui immediately put down the keyboard and looked up to ask.

When he was with Jing Tian, ​​he could tell which of her words were jokes and which were genuine anger.

That last sentence clearly showed anger.

"Youku Tudou put on some kind of awards ceremony." Jing Tian handed over her phone and sneered.

"Host Du Haitao knelt down in front of a Korean star."

"I really don't know how he could do that, he's completely shameless!"

Qi Hui picked up the phone and looked at it, only to find that it happened a few days ago.

Netizens, however, were not going to tolerate him and launched a furious attack.

As a citizen, to kneel openly before a foreigner in front of so many people... I really don't know how he could do that.

Qi Tongwei was crying at the grave, at least in order to curry favor with the Zhao family.

But when Du Haitao knelt down before Kwon Ji-yong, Qi Hui really couldn't understand why he did it.

Is it simply a matter of wanting to kneel?
It seems that when the teachers told everyone at the founding of the People's Republic of China that the Chinese people had stood up, Du Haitao couldn't understand that statement.

Du Haitao's image has plummeted; he's universally disliked.
Moreover, this incident didn't just involve him kneeling; several media accounts, suspected to be Du Haitao's alternate accounts, also appeared online and started arguing with netizens.

He accused netizens of not completing nine years of compulsory education and even created a talisman to ward off evil spirits.

This really enraged netizens. In real life, no one will say anything if you're powerful, but online everyone is equal, and it would be a waste of their internet fees not to mess with you.

Soon, the Du Haitao Baidu Tieba forum was bombarded with massive attacks, with countless participants, including members of the Diba forum.

Even many of G-Dragon's fans got involved.

This is quite interesting; even G-Dragon's fans look down on him.

However, despite the serious incident, Hunan TV didn't give him much of a warning. Instead, everything continued as usual, and he continued to work as a host, only receiving a brief reprimand.

I have to say, that's pretty impressive.

As usual, Kong Sheng arrived at the rest area, but upon seeing this news, his usual good mood vanished.

"Damn it... we'll never let Hunan TV broadcast 'Battle of Changsha'!" Kong Sheng slammed his fist on the table, speaking with immense anger.

"Not even a replay!"

Such a big incident occurred, yet this organization didn't react at all, only offering a reprimand and education?
"As expected of Director Kong, well done." Qi Hui gave a thumbs up and smiled.

"Chairman, what about your TV series?" Kong Sheng changed the subject, pointing to the script Qi Hui was writing: "Is it similar to our 'Battle of Changsha'?"

“Of course it’s the same, it has to be the same!” Qi Hui said immediately, his gaze towards him becoming more playful.

Immediately, she offered him a way out: "What's wrong, Director Kong? Why did you suddenly bring up my TV series?"

The fish has taken the bait; it's time to put it in the landing net.
