Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 357 Men are all big pigs! (1st update)
"Hmm... really?" Qi Hui asked in surprise, "Didn't I often watch it with you before?"

When "The Beginning" was airing, Qi Hui often watched it with her, chatting and laughing as they watched.

In one episode of "The Beginning," during a scene at a coffee shop, Jing Tian's mind was wandering with all sorts of wacky thoughts while filming.

They misinterpreted Qi Hui's words about buying experiences and services, turning them into other unethical experiences and services.

However, during editing, Qi Hui did not cut out this error and kept it.

Every time she sees this, this girl gets so angry she wants to bite someone.

Especially when he saw the comments and jokes from viewers and netizens in the bullet screen, he got so angry that he rode on Qi Hui's back.

It's all your fault, why didn't you cut it off back then?

“That’s different,” Jing Tian said.

When she was editing "The Beginning", she went to the company once or twice and had a general understanding of the situation.

When I watched it later, it wasn't very interesting anymore.

But she had never seen the editing, dubbing, or other post-production work of "Battle of Changsha," so she found it all very new and exciting.

This was the first time she had seen the finished product of "Battle of Changsha".

"Alright, no talking, watch the show quietly." Jing Tian lay in Qi Hui's arms, holding the remote control.

As they spoke, the opening sequence appeared on the screen: a dark gray sky ablaze with flames, a city, gray military uniforms, and a chaotic mass of people...

From the very beginning, the opening sequence evokes a sense of heaviness and oppression.

The opening credits end and the main feature begins, but the main feature is even more oppressive than the opening credits.

The narration is in Jing Tian's voice, describing the background of the time.

In the early autumn of 38, Nanjing fell to the Japanese, and Wuhan was in dire straits. Chiang Kai-shek breached the Huayuankou Pass, and the raging river flooded the land, leaving it devastated.

To escape the war, countless people migrated west to Changsha, and the people of Changsha also sought to escape the war. Under the arrangement of their families, young women of marriageable age were quickly married off to men from other provinces.

Their purpose, of course, was to leave this place and escape the war.

The camera pans to the marching students, who are passionately demanding war to defend their homeland.

Soon, the black and white image gradually turned into color, and Jing Tian's figure blended into the crowd of people marching.

Of course, she wasn't there to protest; she was there to escape blind dates.

As mentioned above, eligible women would be quickly married off to men from other provinces under the arrangement of their families, so that their families could also leave the area to escape the war.

But... blind dates are something that both men and women have always found repulsive.

Jing Tian's character, Hu Xiangxiang, slipped away without hesitation, even having her twin brother, Hu Xiaoman, cover for her.

However, the matchmaking was hosted by the couple's brother-in-law, the captain of the Changsha City Security Bureau's action team, who then ordered his men to begin the search.

During the chase, Hu Xiangxiang and Gu Qingming, played by Qi Hui, met on the street.

The two did not exchange any words and did not know each other, but Gu Qingming, played by Qi Hui, showed a slight change in his expression, making people realize that he had changed a bit.

Fengtai, small villa
"Is this love at first sight?" Xie Nan's eyes lit up as he looked at Qi Hui and Jing Tian staring at each other silently on TV.

Shipping couples is the most fun thing ever.

"Qi Hui... his acting skills are really amazing..." Wu Jing muttered to himself as he stared at the screen for a moment.

Although his expression didn't change much, you could still tell that he was different from before he met Jing Tian.

Love at first sight, nothing could be more perfect.

Wu Jing scratched his buzz cut, somewhat puzzled as to why Qi Hui's acting was so good.

Even if someone has formal training, they shouldn't be this good, right?
He's only been acting for a few years? He's almost as good as those first and second-tier actors.

Moreover, it wasn't just Qi Hui; even Jing Tian in the drama was clearly drawn into the role by him.

Their brief eye contact gave one the immediate feeling that the two were an incredibly well-matched couple. This thought arose naturally and without any sense of incongruity.

Wu Jing knew that even if the drama had a heavy tone, the ratings wouldn't be too bad thanks to this couple.

"Hey, what did you feel when we first met?" Xie Nan asked suddenly, a thought striking him.

Wu Jing was focused on Qi Hui's acting skills, while Xie Nan was focused on love at first sight.

The difference in focus between men and women is vividly demonstrated in these two individuals.

"Uh... this..." Wu Jing was a little slow to react, and began to recall his first meeting with Xie Nan.

"Hmm?" Xie Nan's gaze immediately turned hostile: "Why did you take so long to think about it?"

Could it be that you didn't feel anything when you first met, and are now making things up?
Sure enough, all men are big pigs!
"I was thinking about something else just now," Wu Jing said with a light cough. "It was love at first sight when we first met."

"Really?" Xie Nan didn't believe it. If you fell in love at first sight, why did you take so long to think about it?
"You forgot? I even asked you on the show if you had a boyfriend!" Wu Jing said matter-of-factly; he was indeed looking for a partner back then.

The main reason is that Duan Yihong, that deadbeat, got married, and it's hard for him not to feel envious.

Seeing Xie Nan, who was exactly to her liking, she launched her offensive without hesitation.

During that period, his Weibo was full of posts about wanting to be in a relationship... Oh no!
Wu was startled. Had someone taken a screenshot of him?

It's fine if someone else takes a screenshot, but if Qi Hui takes a screenshot, that would be troublesome!
Thinking about this, Wu Jing got goosebumps.

"Oh, that's true..." Xie Nan suddenly realized.

But before he could finish speaking, Wu Jing suddenly stood up and strode towards the study.

Immersed in memories of love, Xie Nan was instantly brought back to reality, speechless and somewhat resentful.

You have no sense of romance at all. Look at Qi Hui, how good he is to his girlfriend. And you... it's outrageous!
"Where are you going?" Xie Nan couldn't contain his temper and roared.

"I...I...I..." Wu Jing was startled, her voice involuntarily softening as she weakly said, "I'll go delete a few Weibo posts..."

"Huh?" Xie Nan was even more confused. Weren't they just talking about love at first sight?

Why did you suddenly switch to Weibo?
Xie Nan covered her face. She knew that martial men were not good at understanding romance, but this was just too much!
……

On television, "Battle of Changsha" was being broadcast, and the plot was unfolding little by little.

Despite her attempt to avoid the blind date, Hu Xiangxiang was eventually caught and dragged to a restaurant by her brother-in-law while wailing.

Little did she know that her blind date was the handsome military officer she had met on the street.

Then... the two met on the stairs of the restaurant.

The location was bad, the timing was bad, and what was worse was my mood.

Although he was handsome, Hu Xiangxiang looked down on officers who didn't do their jobs properly, especially this officer who abandoned his military defense duties to come here to eat and drink extravagantly and even go on blind dates.

Therefore, Jing Tian didn't hesitate to rebuke Qi Hui, and the blind date naturally fell through.

The consequence was that her brother-in-law chased her with a riding crop, making her jump around and lose all her previous elegance.

Helpless, the brother-in-law could only use his connections to arrange more blind dates for Hu Xiangxiang.

To this end, they even recruited a lot of people to help them.

But this time, Gu Qingming, played by Qi Hui, didn't come. He was busy repairing the city wall and only sent a letter in which he ridiculed all the guests.

He said that these people, facing a formidable enemy, did not think about protecting their homeland but instead engaged in such petty and despicable acts. Gu Qingming was ashamed to associate with them.

In the end, both the parents of Hu Xiangxiang's brother-in-law and Gu Qingming's cousin sighed helplessly.

Both of them are troublemakers!
But the audience watching the play found it quite amusing.

If the male and female leads are both like this, how will they get together in the future?

Hurry up and air the next episode, I want to see them fall in love!
