Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 384: Warning from the FBI... Not the kind of warning seen at the beginning of the video.

This is outrageous! That despicable Qi Hui… Lu Yang gritted his teeth in envy.

He almost forgot about Qi Hui if he hadn't been mentioned!

This guy actually got himself drunk, then grabbed his embroidered spring knife and flying fish robe, and ran away in a flash.

It was in Chifeng at the time, right after filming for "Brotherhood of Blades" had wrapped up.

At that time, he, the assistant director, the martial arts instructor, Qi Hui, Zhao Wenzhuo, and others did not rush back. Instead, they ate meat and drank wine in large bowls.

I thoroughly enjoyed eating mutton for several days.

But just as he lowered his guard, Qi Hui began to frantically urge him to drink, with all sorts of reasons.

Having already let his guard down, Lu naturally didn't resist. After downing several large bowls of baijiu, he became completely intoxicated.

Anyone who has tasted the liquor from Inner Mongolia knows how potent it is.

Then the next day, he woke up with a hangover and a headache.

As a result, the props arrived and reported that the flying fish robe was gone, as were the three embroidered spring knives used by the three main characters, and Ding Xiu's Miao knife.

Lu Yang was so frustrated that he kept slapping his thigh. He had tried to guard against it all, but in the end, he still couldn't prevent it!

Who would have thought that Qi Hui would resort to such a method as forcing people to drink alcohol?
Damn it!
"How's the post-production of Embroidered Spring Blade going?" Qi Hui sent a message.

Far away in Hainan Province, he naturally had no idea what Lu Yang was thinking.

"Not bad, it's going smoothly!" Lu Yang thought for a moment and decided to settle accounts with Qi Hui after he returned: "If nothing unexpected happens, the post-production work can be completed in two months."

"So fast?" Qi Hui couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The filming of "Brotherhood of Blades" only took a little over two months, but he didn't expect the post-production work to be so fast as well.

Aside from variety show movies like "Where Are We Going, Dad?", "Brotherhood of Blades" has a relatively fast pace compared to other regular movies.

Lu Yang was somewhat proud of this, as his "Brotherhood of Blades" had undergone meticulous polishing, and all aspects of the problem had corresponding solutions in his plan.

His meticulous polishing was truly meticulous.

Unlike Wu Jing, who creates a new folder and then leaves it untouched.

Therefore, the subsequent processing was naturally incredibly smooth.

Guo Fan: Lao Lu is awesome!

At this moment, Guo Fan also chimed in, sending a thumbs-up message.

"What have you been up to all this time?" Lu Yang asked. "Why did it take you so long to reply?"

"Traveling with my wife," Guo Fan replied, casually sending a photo of a barbecue at the beach.

Lu Yang: "..."

I shouldn't have asked that question!

"Why haven't we heard from Lao Wu? Where did he go?"

"He's probably busy at the military region, where they have strict controls on electronic devices."

"Makes sense."

……

In Hainan Province, Qi Hui and his companions' island-hopping trip continues.

The group of six walked around, stopping frequently. There was just too much fun to do here... The beach was especially amazing; we didn't want to leave without casting our lines a couple of times.

The man was fishing, while the woman wandered around and found a lot of tropical fruits.

This season is the perfect time for tropical fruits to ripen, and Jing Tian and the others even found a bunch of yellowish-brown, thumb-sized fruits with a slightly exotic fragrance.

Old Ling and Xiao Zhang were completely bewildered. What was this?
Qi Hui stared at the thing, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. After a long while of recalling, he finally remembered that the thing was called a yellow skin.

Before he traveled through time, he had seen it on short videos, and later, when he followed his company to the south to do construction work, he had also tried it once or twice.

It's sweet and sour, and tastes delicious.

Besides the yellow-skinned fruit, the jackfruit and pineapple here are also ripe.

Jing Tian transformed from a poultry enthusiast into a fruit lover.

Of course, it's not all good things.

The box of lychees we picked spoiled because it had been stored for too long.

This stuff has a very short shelf life to begin with, and with a round-the-island trip and no refrigerator, it's normal for it to spoil.

Back in the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Xuanzong transported lychees, it required fast horses, honey and wax sealing, and the goods were transported without changing the horses or people even when they stopped.

For this reason, one of the roads that traverses the Qinling Mountains between Sichuan and Shaanxi was renamed the Lychee Road.

You might not recognize the name Lychee Road, but you'll understand if I say Meridian Road.

Wei Yan, the one from the Ziwu Valley plot.

Even so, there are still very few lychees that can be obtained intact!
Jing Tian felt wronged but had no choice but to throw it away.

Then...then I went to the trash can and saw even more discarded lychees. In the easternmost part of Hainan Province, people here like to raise pigs, and there's a famous dish called roast suckling pig.

The suckling pigs are free-range, roaming all over the mountains and fields, and then wander to the garbage cans to eat lychees.

Seeing the lychees being used to feed pigs, Jing Tian suddenly felt no longer aggrieved.

She knew that she had a narrow perspective and limited knowledge.

The treasures that Yang Guifei and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang cherished were only used to feed pigs here.

On the other side, Qi Hui was fishing, but he hadn't forgotten the main quest.

He came here to find the filming locations for "The Vanished She".

Of course, I haven't seen a suitable one yet.

Qi Hui wasn't in a hurry. That's how anglers are; they might just get lucky while fishing.

During this time, news came from Xiao Yang that they had acquired the adaptation rights to the Soviet film "The Bachelor's Trap".

The copyright to this movie script does not belong to the director, but to the screenwriter.

However, the screenwriter is French.

Of course, he wasn't in France, but in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Upon learning of Qi Hui's intentions in sending the company personnel, the man's expression changed slightly. He then decisively signed the contract and even donated the money to the Hollywood Writers Guild.

Qi Hui guessed that he had been warned by the FBI... a serious warning.

It's not the kind of warning that appears at the beginning of a video.

That makes sense when you think about it. This person had worked with Soviet directors before, and now he's being approached by Chinese people again, all because of those Soviet films.

This raises many questions.

Unfortunately, this person is still in the United States. It would be unreasonable for the FBI not to be keeping an eye on him.

It's important to know that 70-80% of the staff in the Communist Party's offices are FBI agents.

Americans have always been very strict about this kind of thing. They never want to go back to the days when capitalists had to pay 90% of their taxes to avoid having their streetlights hung up.

Of course, the fact that the FBI is watching him doesn't necessarily mean he has a problem.

The person who wronged you will always know better than you how wronged you are.

But if not, how will Commissioner Smith obtain the funding?

If Commissioner Smith doesn't take the job, how can the people below him get promoted?
As for why he didn't refuse outright on the spot, Qi Hui probably knew he was in trouble the moment the man came knocking.
Rather than refusing and then being approached by these Chinese people, it's better to simply meet their demands and prevent them from coming to our door repeatedly.

That way, the trouble will be less.

It's no wonder he did this. Last year, the Prism scandal broke out, and the whole world knew how despicable and shameless the Americans were.

Qi Hui didn't care. Anyway, he had the copyright, so he could do whatever he wanted with it.

"Where's our script?" Qi Hui asked.

"It's already been submitted for review," Xiao Yang replied. She submitted it for review as soon as she obtained the copyright.

"Okay." Qi Hui nodded.

However, Xiao Yang changed the subject and started talking about something else.

She wants to sign Chen Duling and Chen Yao.

"Chen Duling?" Qi Hui asked in surprise, "Didn't she go back to class?"

After filming "Brotherhood of Blades", Chen Duling decided to temporarily give up acting and focus on her studies until she graduated.

"Yes, but she also agreed to sign a contract with me," Xiao Yang explained.

"Can you manage all that?" Qi Hui asked, referring to someone who is both an agent and the manager of the company.

"No problem, everything in the company is on track and running smoothly, so we don't really need to keep an eye on things all the time," Xiao Yang replied. It was because of this that she had the idea of ​​signing someone.

"Okay." Qi Hui agreed, but with a condition: "No more than three people can be signed as agents."

"In addition, you can't neglect your own job."

Qi Hui founded Yixin Film Studio not only to make movies, but also to serve his own interests.

Engaging in brokerage business is a complete waste of time and energy.

If I remember correctly, Noon Sunshine has done something similar before.

Later, the quality of the series declined, forcing them to cut back on the talent agency business.

However, since Xiao Yang wants to do it, he can support her and decide based on her performance.

"Yes, boss!" Xiao Yang stood at attention in front of the desk and answered in a firm and clear voice.
