Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 382 I swear to God, I will never coexist with gambling and drugs.
Since they had brought fishing rods, Qi Hui and the others decided to take the train directly from the capital to Hainan Province.

It will take a few days, but it's not a big problem.

Don't trains have deluxe sleeper berths?
The deluxe sleeper is a double room with a private toilet, bathroom, and even a sofa and wardrobe.

Although it's a bit cramped, it doesn't affect the living space.

Besides, as long as there are no force majeure events, such as typhoons, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, or other natural disasters, the trains will be fine, at most they will be delayed.

It's not that I can't take a plane, it's just that I suddenly felt like this was a good idea.

Just do it!

Soon, the group set off, boarding a train heading south.

The journey passed through Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces, offering breathtaking views of each province along the way.

These actors do travel all over the country, but they rarely have the opportunity to appreciate the scenery along the way.

They all come and go in a hurry, constantly busy.

Sometimes, even on the road, I would still be thinking about the script, lines, and characters.

Looking at the endless green fields of crops on the Hebei Plain, Qi Hui thought of Mu Tingting's Douyin videos.

In her comments section, a netizen asked if she missed the days when she was filming.

Her answer was no, why would she miss the hard times?

……

Just as Qi Hui and his friends went on vacation to the south, "The Breakup Guru" was released in major cities across the country.

However, this film encountered a formidable competitor at the same time: Transformers 4.

Although it's also a bad movie, it's clearly better than "The Breakup Guru".

This gave Deng Chao another headache. "Glorious Times" was already a headache enough, and now "Transformers 4" had to come along too.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, facing attacks from all sides, can his "Breakup Guru" withstand the pressure?

Soon, the data provided his answer: the box office on the first day was 29 million.

Transformers 4 grossed $1.74 million on its opening day.

The difference is more than double that of "The Breakup Guru".

Compared to this, "The Breakup Guru" seems so tragic.
However... it's actually not bad, much better than Teng Huatao's "Waiting for the Wind".

It should be able to cover the production costs in two or three days.

But... that's not what Deng Chao wanted!
Moreover, his film's reputation began to decline, with critics criticizing it and audiences turning their backs on it.

The feedback was extremely poor!

"This movie is garbage, even a dog wouldn't watch it!"

"There's no story, the theme is vague, the editing is a mess, damn it!"

"Upstairs, you're too kind. This movie's jokes are vulgar, the acting is exaggerated, and it's utterly shameless. It's disgusting after watching it!"

"This movie only deserves one star, not because it's worth one star, but because one star is the lowest I can give it!"

"Damn, I thought it was a comedy like 'My Old Classmate,' but it turned out to be illogical, illogical, and full of exaggerated nonsense."

"Deng Chao is disgusting. If you can't be a director, don't be one. Stop creating garbage!"

"The trailer is better than the movie, the reviews are better than the movie, everything is better than the movie, except for the movie itself, which is not good at all!"

"I watched it. Many people are saying that this movie is garbage, worthless, and useless. I don't think so. 'The Breakup Guru' is still somewhat useful. At least it makes 'Transformers 4' look less bad."

"This thing doesn't even qualify as a movie. It's a bullshit story, a ridiculous plot, and incredibly vulgar and obnoxious behavior. It's not even obnoxious behavior; it's unrestrainedly disgusting and infuriating. Deng Chao, go to hell!"

"Zinima, refund the money!"

"..."

Seeing these comments, Deng Chao felt heartbroken and covered his face, sighing repeatedly.

All negative reviews, not a single positive one.

One of them initially received positive reviews, but as the story progressed, it became disheartening, leading to a roundabout way of criticizing the author.

They even used Transformers 4 to criticize!

Damn it!
On the other hand, Yang Mi glanced at the comments briefly, then decisively closed them and refused to look at them again.

She had encountered this situation before when she was filming "Tiny Times," and she already knew how to deal with it.

In the following days, box office revenue continued to decline, and the data became increasingly unfavorable.

Deng Chao struggled to keep going, and together with Yu Baimei, led the main cast and crew on the roadshow. However, he was getting weaker and weaker, and could only grit his teeth and persevere.

These box office figures are absolutely disheartening!
……

"Wow, Godzilla-like terrain!" Jing Tian exclaimed as she looked out the window. Hills rose abruptly from the plain.

It's not high, only a few hundred meters.

Compared to the mountains in the north, it is certainly not as good, but the terrain here is very flat, like building blocks on tiles, which is particularly striking.

Moreover, they weren't one after another, but rather stood here and there.

Qi Hui chuckled: "It's karst topography, Godzilla is a monster."

"Really?" Jing Tian tilted her head.

She's kind of cute... Qi Hui took a deep breath, picked her up, and pinched her cheek.

"Hmph~ You bad person." Jing Tian snorted, enjoying pinching her cheeks.

If you're so capable, try pinching somewhere else!
"Senior brother, come out..." Xiao Zhang knocked on the door, then pushed it open and called out.

It was broad daylight, and he was still on the train, so there shouldn't be any problems and he didn't try to hide anything.

As soon as the door opened, they saw Jing Tian sitting on Qi Hui's lap.

There's also Qi Hui, who acts like a child, hugging his girlfriend as if he were hugging his own mother.

"..."

"..."

The six of them stared at each other, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Qi Hui put on a stern face: "Ruoyun, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're such a grown-up, yet you're still so impulsive, acting like a child."

As he spoke, he slowly straightened his back.

Jing Tian also smoothed her hair, becoming dignified once again.

“Your senior brother is right. You’re all grown up, why are you still so impulsive?” Jing Tian said slowly, expressionless.
Zhang Ruoyun scratched her head, smiled awkwardly, and remained silent.

"Is there something you need?" Qi Hui asked.

"Well... isn't it almost lunchtime?" Xiao Zhang said with a dry laugh, he just wanted to call people out to eat.

Of course, we went to the dining car to eat.

"You go first, we'll be there in a bit," Qi Hui said. "Close the door behind you."

"Hey, that's good."

Xiao Zhang left in a panic.

As soon as she left, Jing Tian could no longer hold back and her face turned red.

"It's all your fault!" Jing Tian was so embarrassed she wanted to bite someone.

"Alright, alright, it's all my fault." Qi Hui pinched her puffed-up cheeks and laughed.

"Come on, let's go eat."

Upon arriving at the dining car, they found Lao Ling and the others discussing their travel plans after arriving on the island.

The train's final stop is Sanya, so the group can easily get off in Sanya.

However, Lao Ling didn't plan to do that. Instead, he planned to get off at Qiongzhou Island and then rent a car to go fishing around the island... cough cough, I mean, to travel!
He only strolled around the beach briefly last time he came, and that wasn't enough.

"Yes, I think it's a good idea." Qi Hui voted in favor: "Let's start from Qiongzhou and end from Qiongzhou."

"Then, we'll fly back together from here."

"to make."

Qi Hui stroked his chin. Although he said that, he did not intend to just wander around the coastal cities and counties.

He came here for tourism, but that wasn't his sole purpose.

Another purpose of Qi Hui's visit was to scout locations for "The Vanished She".

The environment here is very nice, somewhat similar to that in Southeast Asia.

It would also be great for filming locations.

As for places like Southeast Asia, places rife with prostitution, gambling, and drugs, he would never go there under any circumstances.

Mr. Qi swore to the heavens that he would never coexist with gambling and drugs.
