Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 339 Every toe is my cherished Alps
The Second Nine Days

The weather is getting colder and colder, and snowflakes are falling outside.

Qi Hui gave the crew a day off so they could get some rest... mainly because tomorrow is New Year's Day, a statutory holiday.

It's time for people to rest.

South of Chaoyang, villa
The room was heated, and the temperature was over 20 degrees Celsius.

Jing Tian was not cold at all, and was even wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.

She leaned against the sofa armrest, lifted her legs, and placed her feet on Qi Hui's thighs.

"Hee hee~"

While scrolling through his phone, Qi Hui stroked Jing Tian's fair, tender, and incredibly soft feet.

The girl's feet were soft and incredibly white, with each toe round and translucent, and painted with dark red nail polish.

Not only are they beautiful, but they're also fun; each one is a cherished Alpenliebe candy.

"Ouch..." Jing Tian quickly pulled her foot back, a faint blush appearing on her face:
"abnormal!"

"Nonsense, I just like every part of you." Qi Hui argued confidently, showing no remorse whatsoever for being a pervert.

"Come here, let me hug you." Qi Hui opened his arms.

"No way, you just touched my feet."

I was touching your foot.

"Then I don't want it either," Jing Tian snorted, getting up to escape... but unfortunately, she didn't make it.

Caught by Qi Hui, he obediently stuck to her.

"What were you looking at so intently just now?" Jing Tian leaned closer to look at Qi Hui's phone screen.

This guy was touching his foot while looking at his phone, multitasking, and he was really focused.

"Let's look at Dr. Lin, who never seems to age," Qi Hui chuckled.

"Oh... Lin Zhiyin." Upon hearing this, Jing Tian suddenly realized.

In the middle of the year, Hunan TV produced a variety show called "Where Are We Going, Dad?".

The show had male celebrities take care of children, and these children freely expressed their natural instincts in front of the camera, displaying their liveliness and cuteness, attracting many viewers.

Male celebrities who have children naturally gain prestige because of their sons.

Lin Zhiyin, who had faded from the spotlight, has once again gained popularity and attention.

However, unlike the others, Lin Zhiyin didn't want to make money by doing endorsements, appearing on shows, or acting.

Instead, he took up scientific research and became a scientist.

He claimed that his research product could reverse aging, and that it was an anti-aging product he had participated in researching and experimenting with for many years.

What's even more interesting is that instead of denying the rumors, the brand added fuel to the fire by referring to Lin Zhiyin as Dr. Lin.

On Weibo, there are all their bizarre promotional photos. Lin Zhiyin is wearing a white lab coat, holding test tubes, beakers and other experimental equipment, which are filled with colorful liquids, and is conducting experiments.

He may look very professional, but anyone who has gone to high school and taken a chemistry lab class can see how many mistakes he makes.

Such reckless behavior will naturally attract unwanted attention.

The drug regulatory authority directly criticized and warned that the so-called reverse aging is completely unscientific.

Lin Zhiyin was now deflated.

Those promotional photos were quietly deleted, and no one mentioned Dr. Lin or anything like that anymore.

"Crossing boundaries... this isn't how you do it!" Qi Hui pursed his lips.

"There are actually people who believe in this stuff?" Jing Tian was quite surprised, lying in Qi Hui's arms and watching him scroll through his phone.

"Back in the day, people believed in Qigong, so what's this?" Qi Hui said helplessly.

“That’s true…” Jing Tian nodded in agreement. Qi Hui always seemed to be on the same wavelength as her.

that's nice
……

After the three-day New Year's Day holiday, Qi Hui and his crew continued their busy work in Huairou.

The set design and props teams were working non-stop, and even during the coldest days of winter, they were drenched in sweat.

The art team, costume team, and even the carpenters, sculptors, and painters in the special effects team were all exhausted.

With the year-end approaching, once I finish my work, I can go home and have a good New Year.

Qi Hui also sent a notice to the actors, saying that filming would begin as soon as the New Year holiday was over.

Xiao Yang also informed Chen Duling of her situation; Chen Duling had come for a makeup session and returned home a few days later.

Xiao Yang originally intended for her to stay for only one day, but since she is from the south and not used to the northern climate, she stayed for a week or so before going back, which was considered a way of getting used to it in advance.

The acting teacher that Xiao Yang arranged for her also went to the south with her to give her extra lessons.

According to the teacher's feedback, Chen Duling is learning very well.

Seeing this, Qi Hui was relieved; it was good that nothing went wrong.

After the New Year, he has a lot of tasks to do, including producing "Glorious Times" and filming "Brotherhood of Blades".

Lu Yang's casting has been confirmed; filming is expected to begin around May or June, with Qi Hui playing the male lead, Shen Lian. However, Lu Yang hasn't finalized the other cast members yet, as he's currently busy with pre-production preparations.

Huayi Brothers did have some ideas, especially since Chen Guofu was given the title of producer.

So Huayi recommended several actors to Lu Yang through Chen Guofu.

But Lu Yang ignored him completely, which angered Hua Yi to the point that she almost hit him.

In the crew of "Brotherhood of Blades," Lu Yang served as director, screenwriter, prop master, and art director.
Furthermore, since he personally secured most of the investment, Huayi couldn't do anything about it, even if they wanted to.

They could only slink away and shut their mouths.

As for a complete falling out... let's just forget about it.

You can't work yourself to death! How can you make money if you work yourself to death?

As the year draws to a close, Andy Lau's "Ye yi ye yi ye yi a ah ah" song can be heard everywhere, from the streets and alleys to supermarkets.

Qi Hui and Jing Tian also began decorating the house, making the villa full of festive atmosphere.

Qi Hui was still in the group chat, sending photos to his friends. The scenario they had anticipated—being kicked out of their homes and forced to live on the streets—did not happen.

And then... and then Qi Hui was silenced.

That awful Guo!

"Good job!"

"Well done, Lao Guo!"

"Wuhu~"

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the competition for the Spring Festival film market officially began.

The movies that have been released... well, how should I put it?

This is ridiculous; they're all terrible movies.

"From Vegas to Macau" starring Chow Yun-fat, and "The Monkey King" starring Donnie Yen and Aaron Kwok.

There's also a reality TV movie called "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

Besides these, there is also a comedy called "USB Flash Drive" that has been released.

Qi Hui's eye twitched as he watched these movies.

Before he traveled through time, he didn't quite understand why "Tiny Times" and "Switch" were said to have ushered in an era of bad movies.

Now, Qi Hui understands: this really is an era of bad movies!

None of the movies mentioned above are good.

Among them, "From Vegas to Macau" and "The Monkey King" are among the worst of the worst movies.

If I remember correctly, the scripts for both films were also sent to Jing Tian.

Seeing these two movies, Jing Tian suddenly became interested and wanted to see what movies she had missed were like.

So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I dragged Qi Hui to the cinema to watch these two movies.

Watch "Havoc in Heaven" first, then watch "From Vegas to Macau".

An hour or so later, Jing Tian, ​​with a dark expression, dragged Qi Hui out.

What kind of garbage movies are these?!

It's even worse than Yang Mi's "Tiny Times"!

He immediately took out his phone, called his agency, and launched into a tirade.

What kind of taste do you have? You actually picked this kind of movie for me?
"Now you know why I didn't let you act..." Qi Hui said quietly.

"How did you figure out that these two movies were bad?" Jing Tian asked curiously.

"The script and the story," Qi Hui said, his eyes wide open, "The stories in these two movies are absolutely terrible."

"That's just how Hong Kong directors are. They inexplicably like to pile on special effects, and they don't care about the story at all, so of course it's garbage."

“Oh…” Jing Tian nodded.

"So, you'll have to let me see how you choose roles in the future," Qi Hui said. "I'll give you some advice."

"Mmm!" Jing Tian nodded repeatedly, without any objection.

Two days later, Qi Hui was scrolling through Weibo.

Despite being a terrible movie, "From Vegas to Macau" did quite well at the box office, grossing 26 million on its opening day.

The variety show movie "Where Are We Going, Dad?" saw its box office soar to 94 million on its opening day.

Suddenly, messages kept popping up in his chat box, tagging him.

Upon clicking through, it was discovered that netizens were repeatedly tagging Teng Huatao on his Weibo account.

"What's going on?" Qi Hui asked, puzzled. "What did Teng Huatao do this time?"

With these questions in mind, Qi Hui clicked on Teng Huatao's Weibo homepage.

Let's see what's going on!
