Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 359 Qi Hui, you've done so many bad things, you're simply inhuman (3rd update)
She was a dance student, and at home, she often refreshed Qi Hui's knowledge of dance postures...

Choreographing a dance or something, no problem.

After thinking for a moment, Jing Tian said, "Using tango is not right."

"Compared to Shanghai and Tianjin, Beiping in the Republic of China was not really a metropolis. It was not as international and the atmosphere was relatively conservative."

"Tango is not a popular dance in Beiping (Beijing)."

"Furthermore, doesn't Zong Xiangfang, an ordinary policeman, seem a bit too flamboyant to know such an open dance as tango?"

"Ah, this..." Sun Molong was embarrassed. He didn't expect to make so many mistakes. The dance was not in line with the historical context.

Even the characters' identities don't fit.

Qi Hui asked with great interest, "What kind of dance was popular in Beiping at that time?"

“It’s a social dance called the slow waltz,” Jing Tian replied. “It has four beats and the steps are relatively simple: slow-slow-fast-fast, and these four beats keep repeating.”

"Can I dance a bit?" Qi Hui said with a smile. "Musician, thank you for playing the music from earlier."

He only let Jing Tian dance after he heard her say that the dance was conservative.

Otherwise, if others want to see it... Hmph, they're dreaming!

"Hmm... okay." Jing Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She used to dance regularly, that's true, but she doesn't dance anymore.

She only danced for Qi Hui when she was with him.

However, this slow four-step dance is relatively simple, focusing on the steps rather than the body movements.

So it's perfectly fine to demonstrate it in front of outsiders.

"let's start."

Soon, the clarinet music started again.

Jing Tian straightened her clothes. She was still wearing a straw-yellow People's Liberation Army uniform, but that didn't matter, as there were no requirements for costumes for the dance.

She walked slowly with a cat-like gait to the rhythm of the music, while rhythmically waving her hands in a semi-circle and then pulling them back.

At the same time, the head moves from side to side, and the body turns left and right.

It looks a bit like practicing Tai Chi, and a bit like playing mahjong.

No wonder they say it's conservative!

However, the dance was quite good; the slow pacing, the quick turns, and the constantly waving arms were quite in line with the daily behavior of a spy.

The pacing is used to approach cautiously, the quick turning of the head is used to observe the surroundings, and the occasional waving of the arm indicates that a gun can be drawn and fired at any time.

These actions wouldn't seem out of place on a secret agent.

“Good, very good.” Qi Hui immediately made the decision: “This is it.”

"Ruoyun, learn from me."

“Okay.” Xiao Zhang immediately followed Jing Tian’s example.

This dance is very simple. Once you grasp the rhythm and steps, you'll pretty much know how to do it.

Jing Tian taught for ten minutes, and Xiao Zhang practiced on his own for twenty minutes.

In less than thirty minutes, the dance was basically complete.

"Let's keep filming," Qi Hui said, leading Jing Tian away from there.

"Hehe~ What should I do?" Jing Tian hugged Qi Hui's arm and chuckled softly.

“Great, but I want to see more…” Qi Hui said.

But before he could finish speaking, Jing Tian covered his mouth: "Are you trying to die? Saying such things here!"

Behind them, Sun Molong and the others felt a pang of discomfort; these two were flaunting their affection again!

I miss Yixin a little… Xiao Zhang sighed inwardly, tilting his head slightly.

Luckily, I spent most of my time in Group B, otherwise I would have been fed up with this dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

……

The filming was proceeding smoothly and efficiently, and time slipped away like sand in one's hand.

In contrast to the calm surrounding Qi Hui, a major incident occurred in the entertainment industry. The person who debuted on "The Voice of China" and became famous for her cover of "You Exist in My Song" was arrested for drug use.

Following the cheating scandal involving Yao Di, something even bigger has emerged, escalating from entertainment news to legal news.

I thought Yao Di was the best in the world, but I never expected that someone was even more valiant than him.

The news sparked a flurry of discussion among netizens, who continued to follow the gossip.

Qi Hui looked at the news and chuckled helplessly. What netizens didn't know was that this was just the beginning.

Besides these major events, there were also minor ones, such as Yang Mi.

She married Hawick Lau.

She did call Qi Hui when she held her wedding, inviting him to attend.

But Qi Hui refused, because Yang Mi's wedding was in Bali.

That place is in Indonesia, and it's in the Southern Hemisphere.

Qi Hui is busy filming right now, how free would he have to be to go to the Southern Hemisphere to attend Yang Mi's wedding?

Not only Qi Hui didn't go, but many people didn't go either, including her good friend Yuan Shanshan.

It's nobody's fault but hers; who told her to hold the wedding so far away?

If you put it directly in the Southern Hemisphere, who could stand it?

Why don't you just put it in Antarctica?

During this period, Qi Hui's "Battle of Changsha" was also being broadcast gradually.

The viewership ratings were somewhat disappointing, dropping to as low as 0.8% and 0.9% at one point.
CCTV quickly adjusted, increasing the number of episodes from two to four per day.

The uneventful early episodes quickly passed, and "Battle of Changsha" began to pick up pace in the middle of the series.

Through a series of blunders by Chiang Kai-shek, the Changsha Fire was ignited, turning the entire city of Changsha ablaze with red.

Brother-in-law Xue Junshan also had his moment of glory. Instead of setting the fire, he led his men to frantically put it out.

He rescued everyone who could be saved from the fire, whether they were alive or dead.

Soon, the storyline of the Wenxi Fire ended, and the war scene began.

Xue Junshan, the action captain of the security department, was ordered to redeem himself by performing meritorious service in connection with the Wenxi fire, and was then sent to the front lines.

At the front lines, he deliberately created a diversion, used a scheme to buy time, repelled several Japanese attacks, and held out until reinforcements arrived, played by Qi Hui.

He held his ground, fought bravely, and made outstanding contributions, earning commendations from his superiors and even receiving the Order of the Cloud Banner from the Nationalist government.

However, before going to the front line, fearing something might happen, he asked his pregnant wife, Hu Xiangjun, to take their child and move to another location.

However, they encountered Japanese soldiers on the way. In order to avoid the Japanese soldiers, Hu Xiangjun tightly covered the child's mouth and nose to prevent him from making a sound.

However, by the time the Japanese soldiers left, the child was gone too.

The heartbroken Hu Xiangjun also suffered a miscarriage under these circumstances, and her brother-in-law Xue Junshan lost two children at once.

His wife, Hu Xiangjun, also suffered a mental breakdown due to these successive blows.
This storyline is incredibly heartbreaking to watch.

"Damn! It's so painful to watch!"

"Damn devil!"

"I knew it! Qi Hui and Jing Tian's drama is so heartbreaking, waaaah, I'm never watching it again!"

"Ugh, you're just throwing out daggers like crazy, aren't you? You bastard!"

"I thought I would see something like Xiao Zhuang or Jiang Xiaoyu, but I didn't expect it to be so upsetting."

"Qi Hui, you've done so many terrible things! You're utterly inhuman! Who said this drama wasn't as heart-wrenching as 'The Beginning'?"

"..."

Under Qi Hui's Weibo post, netizens began to fiercely condemn him, repeatedly shouting that they would never watch it again.

However... CCTV's data shows that the viewership ratings are constantly rising.

Compared to 1.14% at the start of the broadcast, it has now risen to 1.77%.
The more agonizing it is, the more I watch; the more I watch, the more agonizing it becomes; I'm tortured to the point of near death, yet I still can't bear to let it go.
