Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 368 Old Guo: Today, I am the only hero in the world!
As the scrolling curtain rises on the screen, the list of lead actors and production staff slowly appears.

The movie has now ended.

Clap clap clap clap!
Qi Hui led the applause, and Wu Jing quickly followed suit.

The applause started softly and grew louder, quickly drawing applause from all the audience members.

Guo Fan was somewhat surprised, but quickly found the place where the applause had first started.

Seeing Qi Hui and Wu Jing, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Brothers!
It would be even better if you didn't mess with me so much... Oh, I think I started messing with you first.

Guo Fan suddenly thought of something and felt a little embarrassed.

He brought his creative team and lead actors on stage, gave a brief thank you, and then left.

Qi Hui, Wu Jing, and Lu Yang were unable to leave because Lao Guo stopped them to give an interview and film review.

"This is a movie full of memories of youthful school days," Lu Yang said slowly, head held high and chest puffed out.

"Compared to serious and profound films on the same subject, I prefer this refreshing film with comedic elements. It allows the audience to not only laugh out loud and enjoy themselves, but also to reflect on the past and look forward to the future through these laughs. This film has grasped this point very well, making you both laugh and cry, which is exactly what I want and like the most."

When it was Wu Jing's turn, he straightened his suit and said with a serious expression:

"A truly wonderful youth-themed film that instantly transports the audience back to their carefree student days. Our deskmate is an indispensable and irreplaceable figure on our path to adulthood. The male lead, Zhang Ruoyun, delivers a very good performance. He is handsome, dashing, and charming, and his acting is both delicate and mature, leaving a deep impression on us viewers."

Not only did they praise the movie, but they also complimented Xiao Zhang.

"It's my turn, right?" Qi Hui smoothed his hair and cleared his throat:

"Let me start with my favorite part, which is the ending where Zhang Ruoyun presses the recorder. The contrast between the fantasy and reality makes you want to cry. All the sweetness before turns into Zhang Ruoyun's solitary sadness, which feels like your heart is being torn apart. This part is incredibly empathetic."

"Let's talk about the movie itself. This movie has the feel of a pure love coming-of-age film. It depicts the naivety of the male and female leads in elementary school, their impulsiveness in high school, and their falling in love and dating in college. At an age when they have nothing, they only have eyes for each other..."

Qi Hui kept rambling on and on, writing short essays and giving his thoughts on the show, leaving everyone bewildered.

Dude, when did you become so eloquent and talented in writing?

In the distance, Wenzhang watched Qi Hui talking non-stop, and then thought back to how the three of them were interviewed at the premiere of "Badges of Fury".

The three of them, including Qi Hui, were not like this back then!
He took a deep breath and swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.

It turns out these people had already started bullying me before anything happened to me!
This is simply unreasonable!
"Finally, I have a suggestion for Director Guo Fan," Qi Hui said with a smile in front of the camera.
"Although it was well-made, we still need to watch more good movies."

"For example, watch the movie 'Love is Not Blind' that I acted in, and learn how it was made."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The reporters burst out laughing. If they remembered correctly, the director of this movie was Guo Fan, right?

Although there are rumors that Guo Fan was just a tool for the camera, rumors are just rumors after all.

……

The movie was officially released the next day.

On the third day, the box office figures came out.

The box office reached 57 million on the first day, which is a very good opening day result.

Guo Fan and the main creative team also took Xiao Zhang and Tan Songyun on a roadshow tour.

The opening day box office is just the beginning; maintaining that momentum is the real victory.

Many movies start strong but finish weak, such as the variety show movie "Where Are We Going, Dad?", which grossed nearly 100 million yuan on its opening day.

But it kept getting worse and worse, and in the end it didn't even reach the 700 million mark.

What a waste of such good first-day data.

"More than 50 million... Ruoyun has also risen." Old Ling looked at the data in his hand, feeling both amazed and delighted.

Everything is getting better and better!

He also has a film like that, "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," which grossed 70 million on its opening day and 800 million in total.

Chaoyang, office building.

Looking at the documents in his hand, Xiao Yang excitedly clenched his fist.

With a box office of over 50 million on its opening day, this figure has already covered the investment costs.

Professional organizations estimate that "My Old Classmate" will gross at least 500 to 600 million yuan.

The film company invested ten million, which means... they made a killing!

Sure enough, the perfect duo, they were absolutely unstoppable! Looking out the floor-to-ceiling window at the bustling Chaoyang CBD with its rows of towering buildings, Xiao Yang felt a surge of pride, wishing he could burst into song and roar like a tiger echoing through the jungle.

A steel jungle, but it's still a jungle!

……

Guo Fan: Hahaha, guys, how's my grade? @Qi Hui @Wu Jing @Lu Yang

Once the movie became popular, he became much more assertive.

Previously, I had weakness in my lower back and legs, and I lacked the strength to walk.

I feel like I've taken sildenafil citrate.

In short: tough!

Qi Hui: Lao Guo, watch your attitude.

Wu Jing: That's right, look at yourself, how ugly you are!

Guo Fan: You're all just jealous, blatantly jealous!

Guo was not ashamed at all; on the contrary, he was proud.

Qi Hui, who frequents web dramas and TV series, is useless and lazy; he'll need a helping hand sooner or later.

Wu Jing was so troubled by the script that he was scratching his head and losing his appetite. He was a truly mediocre person. It was only with my help that his troubles were relieved.

Lu Yang is all talk and no action; he needs my full support.

Today, I, Guo Fan, am the only hero in the world!
ding dong~
At that moment, a notification sound rang on my phone.

Guo Fan looked closely and realized that Lu Yang, who hadn't said a word, had suddenly sent a video.

Slightly puzzled, Lao Guo clicked on it.

In the video, Qi Hui is dressed in a black robe embroidered with silver dragons and flying fish, wielding a Miao sword and displaying the Thirteen Styles of Xinyou Sword Technique.

The whistling sounds were incessant, and the flashes of blades continued endlessly.

Guo Fan was slightly stunned. To be honest, he was absolutely blown away by his handsomeness!

In the video, Qi Hui holds a knife with one hand, his slender Miao sword flashing with light.

The next moment, the knife was thrown into the air and spun like a windmill.

Qi Hui turned and delivered a spinning kick to the hilt of the sword, causing it to spin even faster.

Then he intervened, gripped the knife precisely, and finished the job perfectly.

"What?!" Wu exclaimed in utter shock. "How did you do that?"

He also practices martial arts, although he only practices with a spear and not a sword. He is not ignorant of swordsmanship, just not proficient in it.

Even so, his swordsmanship, honed over more than ten years, couldn't allow him to achieve this.

Wu Jing felt a pang of sadness. Who, in the end, was the real martial arts athlete?
Is there any more heavenly justice?
"Holy crap, is this special effects?" Guo Fan quickly sent a message.

But even he himself didn't believe the news.

The video is noisy and there is only one camera position, so it is obviously a live-action video.

Thinking of this, his resolve softened slightly.

"Old Guo, don't say such unprofessional things," Lu Yang messaged.
"What do you think would happen if this video were released before the premiere of my film 'Brotherhood of Blades'?"

The show is already a hit before it even airs... Guo Fan took a deep breath and silently erased his earlier comments about Qi Hui, Wu Jing, and Lu Yang.

This video is amazing.

Damn it, I've only been gloating for a short while... Guo Fan was on the verge of tears. You guys should at least let me enjoy the thrill of being far ahead.

Don't be so quick to slap me in the face... It's too much of a bully!

the other side.

After the initial shock, Wu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: if Lao Lu's "Brotherhood of Blades" could become a hit even before its release, could his "Wolf Warrior" do the same?
They had quite a few videos of themselves playing with guns, cannons, and tanks back in the US.
