Chapter 373 The Vanished Her?

Qi Hui did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he got up, reached out and picked her up, placing her on his lap.

This girl weighs just over 100 pounds. With that weight, Qi Hui can carry... cough, carry her all over the house.

Jing Tian shifted and found a comfortable position to lie down. She stopped watching TV and stared at Qi Hui instead.

Watching Qi Hui is more interesting than watching TV.

After confirming that Jing Tian's hands and feet were within his defensive range, Qi Hui slowly said:

"Do you know why South Korean girl groups are so successful, but haven't caused much of a stir in our country?"

"Uh...why?" Jing Tian was equally puzzled by this question.

Yes, why is that?
The Korean wave is so powerful now, from songs and dramas to celebrities and variety shows, it almost always causes a frenzy wherever it goes.

Last year, the drama "The Heirs" was a hit, and the male lead even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.
I recently heard that Huayi Brothers is collaborating with Zhejiang TV to produce a variety show, modeled after South Korean variety shows.

But as Qi Hui said, while K-pop is sweeping across the region, top K-pop girl groups are not doing well here.

Qi Hui slowly said, "Because on the path of pornography, conservatives have live broadcasts to watch, and radicals have Japanese movies to watch."

"Those who are more practical will go to Southeast Asia to conduct on-site research."

Jing Tian was taken aback, then her eyebrows furrowed, and she reached out to pinch Qi Hui.

Having made preparations, Qi Hui easily blocked the attack.

Jing Tian's attack was ineffective!

In the blink of an eye, Jing Tian's hands and feet were bound.

"Hehe..." Qi Hui smiled smugly, "Now you know why I hugged you just now, right?"
Jing Tian snorted and bit Qi Hui's face.

Qi Hui: “…”

Why does this girl look like a calico cat?

After a bit of playful fighting, Jing Tian nestled in Qi Hui's arms, her little bottom sticking up, completely content and satisfied.

"I think I understand," Jing Tian said with a hum. "You mean, that area is full of prostitution, gambling, and drugs, right?"

"Mmm~" Qi Hui nodded, supporting her little bottom as he said, "Not only are gambling, prostitution, and drugs rampant, but they are also extremely dangerous."

"Still dangerous?" Jing Tian looked up at Qi Hui, her face full of confusion.

What dangers are there?

She suspected that Qi Hui was bluffing her, because just a few days ago, she had told Qi Hui that she wanted to travel to Thailand.

Wasn't it because of the huge success of "Lost in Thailand"? I also heard that Wang Baoqiang and his crew were filming in Thailand.

Jing Tian thought that traveling there would be quite fun.

However, Qi Hui firmly opposed it at the time, even though he tried to coax him gently.

Her tone was gentle, but her attitude was firm.
Qi Hui covered his face. This girl's living environment was too comfortable; she was like a silly roe deer.

It's not that she doesn't understand that the world is not peaceful, nor that she doesn't understand that human life is fragile.

However, their understanding of these things is still limited to textbooks and books.

Hmm... those innocent and naive college students are pretty much the same as these.

"Let me tell you a story," Qi Hui said. "It was about a couple on their honeymoon who were traveling in Thailand."

"And then?" Jing Tian leaned on Qi Hui's shoulder, studying his profile.

"Later, the woman disappeared. While shopping at the mall, her husband couldn't find her anywhere. He reported her missing to the police, and contacting the embassy didn't help... Hmm?" As Qi Hui spoke, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and a movie image came to mind:
"She Disappeared"

The suspense film tells the story of a couple traveling in Southeast Asia, during which the wife disappears.

Then a strange woman appears, claiming to be the man's wife.

The movie did quite well at the box office, and it's said to have a strong staying power, causing many couples to break up.

"And then?" Jing Tian nudged Qi Hui, displeased. "Why are you daydreaming?"

"Oh." Qi Hui came back to his senses and continued, "Later, the man searched for his wife in vain. Since normal channels were useless, he turned to those local thugs and gangsters for help."

"A few months later, he met his wife at an underground auction house."

"His wife had both legs cut off and was kept in a jar for auction."

Jing Tian took a breath, a look of fear appearing on her face: "Then...how did that woman disappear from the mall?"

Qi Hui replied, "When she went to buy clothes, she went into the fitting room. There was a mechanism in the fitting room floor that could be opened. She opened the mechanism when she was halfway through changing her clothes."

"And beneath the floor were cages and human traffickers."

Listening to Qi Hui's description, Jing Tian felt a chill run down her spine.

A woman is most relaxed when she's changing clothes. She puts down her clothes, jewelry, phone, and bag, leaving only her underwear on.

In that situation, if you fall into a trap and end up in a cage, there are human traffickers waiting nearby for a long time...

Jing Tian felt goosebumps rise on her skin.

It was truly a case of crying out to heaven and earth in vain!

"Now you know why I didn't act in it, right?" Qi Hui said threateningly. He simply felt that the movie paid little money, involved a lot of work, was far from home, and was very troublesome.

"Okay, then we won't be thinking about going abroad for travel anymore!" Jing Tian nodded repeatedly, completely giving up the idea of ​​traveling to Thailand.

Qi Hui nodded with satisfaction. That's more like it.

After comforting Jing Tian for a few moments, Qi Hui went into the study, picked up the computer, and started typing.

The clatter of the keyboard filled the air as a brief script outline was quickly written.

The movie "The Vanished"

Whether or not to film it will be decided later; for now, let's write the script first.

Moreover, even if it were to be filmed, he wouldn't need to direct it; Qi Hui could act as a supervisor or producer.

He recalled that the film was adapted from a Soviet novel or film.

Although I could write a complete script, it would be better to read the original novel.

The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

"What was the original novel again?" Qi Hui scratched his head, unable to recall for a moment.

……

The next day, the crew of "Ban Shu Legend".

Qi Hui came to visit the set, not to see Jing Tian, ​​but to see his old classmate Jiao Junyan.

Of course, Jing Tian knew about this.

"That's rare!" Jiao Junyan exclaimed with delight. "You, a famous director, actually came to visit me on set?"

"We're old classmates, what's wrong with visiting them?" Qi Hui laughed, looking up at the sky.

In the corner, Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Xueying peeked at Qi Hui with great interest.

"Director Qi is so handsome!" Guan Xiaotong said, her voice filled with excitement.

“You said Lee Min-ho was the most handsome just a few days ago,” Zhang Xueying retorted, pouting.

Last year, the Korean drama "The Heirs" was a hit, making Lee Min-ho a sensation and even leading to his appearance on the Spring Festival Gala.

"They're all handsome, they're all handsome..." Guan Xiaotong chuckled dryly and said repeatedly.

Director Qi is handsome in a masculine, hormone-filled way, while Lee Min-ho is absolutely good-looking, incredibly handsome.

However, she prefers South Korean handsome men. Director Qi is also good-looking, but he gives her a feeling of being an elder, the kind who might scold or spank someone at any time.

South Korean handsome guys are still more pleasing to the eye.

the other side

Qi Hui shunned Jiao Junyan and went after the real target of this line of work: Wang Ling.

That's Aunt Xue.
The Ninth Concubine in "Romance in the Rain", the ninth concubine of Lu Zhenhai, the number one handsome guy in Happy Valley.

"Hello, Director Qi," Wang Ling greeted him.

Qi Hui is now a very popular director. He even directed a tribute drama for the film and television industry, which became a huge hit.

"Ah~ Aunt Xue..." Qi Hui said subconsciously, then, realizing he wasn't Gin, greeted her:
"Hello, Aunt Xue."

"Hahaha..." This nickname made Wang Ling laugh.

"I have a question I'd like to ask you," Qi Hui said.

“Tell me, I’ll speak my mind,” Wang Ling said.

"In the Soviet Union, was there a novel or film about a couple who got married, then the wife disappeared, and then another woman appeared who claimed to be the husband's wife?"

Qi Hui's visit to the set of "The Legend of Ban Shu" was not really for Jiao Junyan, but for Wang Ling.

Although Wang Ling is only four years older than Wu Jing, she actually studied in the Soviet Union.

This kind of overseas study background is something that many people want but can't get these days.

“This…” Upon hearing Qi Hui’s question, Wang Ling paused slightly and slowly began to think.
