Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 335 I dislike social niceties, but young people have their own way of dealing with them.
That day, Qi Hui, who was busy, received an invitation from Xiao Yang.

Invitation to the premiere of "Personal Tailor," a work by Feng Xiaogang.

As mentioned earlier, it won't be long before film critics' comments completely break Feng Xiaogang's defenses, causing him to angrily lash out at film critics on Weibo and television programs.

Qi Hui felt that Director Feng's performance was actually more entertaining than his movies.

Interesting.

Speaking of which, this film has some connection with Qi Hui. When the film was first proposed and they were looking for actors, they approached Qi Hui.

The role offered to me was the second male lead, the one played by Zheng Kai.

Work hard, and one day your brother will find you a wife. Then you'll be incredibly grateful to your brother.

The main character in Feng Xiaogang's comedies is basically Ge You; even if others wanted to play the role, Feng Xiaogang wouldn't want to.

In addition, Feng Xiaogang already had a bad reputation, so Qi Hui refused without even thinking about it.

Choosing "Personal Tailor" is not as good as choosing "The Four Great Constables," at least the latter allows you to work with Liu Yifei.

Isn't this much better than working with Feng Xiaogang?

"Why was the invitation sent to me?" Qi Hui asked in surprise.

He wasn't an actor in this play, and he has no connection with Feng Xiaogang.

I don't know Ge You or Li Xiaolu, who plays the role in this play.

How can I get the invitation letter into my hands?

"It was sent by General Manager Wang Zonglei," Xiao Yang said.

"Oh... I see." Qi Hui suddenly realized.

Actually, that's not the only reason. This film, "Personal Tailor," is Feng Xiaogang's first Feng-style comedy in three years.

Huayi placed high hopes on this and made it a grand affair, inviting all the famous figures in the capital.

The main reason is that Feng Xiaogang's previous film as a director was not very successful. As a leading figure in commercial films, Feng Xiaogang is going all out this time to reclaim the glory that belongs to him.

His last film was "Back to 1942," which was a box office flop.

"Alright, I'll go for a stroll then." Qi Hui nodded.

I've been very busy lately, so this is a good opportunity to slack off.

……

A few days later, at the premiere of "Personal Tailor".

The assistant drove Qi Hui to the venue.

Unlike the others, Feng Xiaogang didn't greet him at the door, and Qi Hui didn't mind. He planned to find a place to sit down and wait for the movie to start.

"Oh, isn't this Qi Hui?"

When Feng Xiaogang's voice came, Qi Hui turned his head and saw Feng Xiaogang grinning with his buck teeth.

"Oh my, Director Feng!" Qi Hui immediately put on a big smile: "Director Feng, long time no see, long time no see!"

He warmly extended his hand and shook hands with Feng Xiaogang repeatedly.

"We've met a few times, but it's a pity I haven't been able to formally get to know Director Feng. It's my fault, my fault!" Qi Hui sighed deeply, as if he had really done something wrong.

"Haha, young man, you're joking, you're joking." Feng Xiaogang also smiled broadly.
"You are young and promising, capable of directing and acting, and your career is booming. You are much better than an old man like me."

"I thought you would be arrogant and conceited, but I never expected you to be so humble and polite. It's such a surprise!"

"Not at all, who would dare to claim talent in front of Director Feng?" Qi Hui let his words go in one ear and out the other, but the mutual flattery still had to be done.

Behind Feng Xiaogang, Li Xiaolu looked at Qi Hui, her lips moving several times as if she was about to interject.

But Qi Hui and Feng Xiaogang were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, and they just kept talking and rambling on and on.

Li Xiaolu couldn't find a chance to interject, which made her somewhat frustrated.

By the time she realized what was happening, Feng Xiaogang had already led her away.

Watching Feng Xiaogang leave, Qi Hui let out a sigh of relief. Mutual flattery in business can be exhausting sometimes. "I thought you weren't interested in social niceties," a voice said beside him. Qi Hui turned to see Wu Jing.

"Hehe..." Qi Hui smiled insincerely. In fact, many young people have this kind of thinking. He used to think that people were just there to eat, sleep and play.

There are social etiquette rules for everything, from doing things to eating. I'm here to eat, so I don't care about all this nonsense. I'm just going to eat and eat, and I wish I could jump onto the table and do a 360° Thomas spin to finish off all the dishes.

After I finish my food, I'll eat my colleagues; after I finish my colleagues, I'll eat my boss!
After eating the boss's food, I'm going to eat the table!
Screw all those social niceties! It's not like we can't live without them!
Later... later Qi Hui saw a very exciting GIF online, which was a clip from a short film.

In order to get the code, he kept calling the big shots in the group "brother" repeatedly.

He patiently answered the other party's needs and questions, and even found an excuse to send red envelopes to the group.

After finally obtaining the code, Qi Hui suddenly realized:

Holy crap, so this is what they call social etiquette!
Young people also have their own understanding of human relationships...

Qi Hui sighed with emotion, but he had to admit that the "Room Barrier SPECIAL" was really good; he'd heard there was even an uncensored version later on...

"Huh? What are you thinking about? Why do you look so all excited?"

Guo Fan's voice interrupted Qi Hui's reverie. Qi Hui looked up and saw the big face of the Shandong man.

"...Nothing." Qi Hui said with a dark face.

He had just recalled Furukawa Iori, Shinoda Yu, and Ootsuki Hibiki, but when he looked up, he saw Guo Fan's big face, which almost scared him to death.

"I think my senior brother has probably been kicked out of his home and is now homeless," Lu Yang said gloatingly.

"That makes sense...hehehe!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing and Guo Fan chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Qi Hui pouted: "Can't you guys, my good friends, wish me something good?"

Wu Jing and the others gritted their teeth, not wanting to speak. "You're being kept by a rich woman, what more do you want?"
Outrageous!

"Brother Jing, has your movie been finished yet?" Lu Yang didn't want to talk to Qi Hui, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Almost there, almost there," Wu Jing said instinctively.

"We've been hearing this since the beginning of the year..." Qi Hui clicked his tongue, feeling a little pain.

"Exactly!" Guo Fan immediately changed his target of dissatisfaction from Qi Hui to Wu Jing:

"What did you say when we came back from the Americans?"

"One by one, they all say they have made progress, they all say they have a breakthrough."

"Now my movie is all filmed and in post-production, and you guys haven't made a single move!"

"Hmm?" Qi Hui's brows furrowed. What?
"Ahem, let's not talk about you, let's talk about the two of them." Guo Fan coughed lightly, his expression extremely serious.

"Well... cough, I'm about to start filming too." Lu Yang straightened his back and said with the same serious expression:

"So, Brother Jing, you need to speed things up!"

Lu Yang changed the subject abruptly, deciding to sacrifice his friend rather than himself, and used Wu Jing as a shield, placing him in front of him.

"Brother Jing, I'm not trying to be mean, but you've fallen far behind." Qi Hui nodded in complete agreement.

Wu Jing grinned; these friends were really too mean.

It's like a panda eating takeout—the bamboo shoots have arrived right at my door!
“This time it’s for real, it’s really coming soon,” Wu Jing said. “I’ve finished the script.”

"Yo ho?"

"I go?"

"real or fake?"

Qi Hui and the other two were all astonished, as if they had seen aliens.

Wu Jing's face darkened; he really wanted to punch someone!
Before the thought had even faded, the dragon emblem lit up on the big screen in front of me, signaling the premiere of Feng Xiaogang's "Personal Tailor".

"Don't rush off, guys," Wu Jing said.
"Take a look at the script for me in a bit."
