Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 395 Oh no, this time it really is Qi Tongwei.

The plane's engines roared, emitting bursts of whistling sounds.

Shortly after, it lifted off the ground and slowly rose into the air.

Qi Hui looked out the window at the city growing smaller and smaller, then slowly withdrew his gaze.

To be honest, this period of time has been quite unforgettable.

Militia soldiers who fought side by side, enjoying a world of two without internet or power...

Oh, and she recently received the title of Tourism Promotion Ambassador for Qiongzhou City.

Before heading to the airport, staff from the Provincial Propaganda Department, along with their leaders, approached Qi Hui and his two companions.

They expressed their gratitude at the beginning. Qi Hui and the other two are actors and from out of town. They were very grateful that they could do their part for the disaster-stricken city.

In addition, the leaders of the Provincial Propaganda Department extended an invitation. I wonder if Qi Hui is interested in becoming the image ambassador for Hainan International Tourism Island?

Hainan Province is currently developing into an international tourism island and urgently needs to promote itself to the outside world.

Qi Hui thought about it and then declined the invitation, giving the opportunity to Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang.

He's been interviewed by CCTV and his fame has increased; let's give this opportunity to Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang.

The leaders of the Provincial Propaganda Department set aside their comments for the time being and extended an invitation to Qi Hui to serve as the tourism promotion ambassador for Qiongzhou City.

Qi Hui accepted the invitation.

After further discussion, the title of Image Ambassador for Hainan International Tourism Island was awarded to Xiao Zhang.

Old Ling isn't out either; the next one will be his.

This invitation wasn't out of gratitude or compensation; Qi Hui and the other two weren't that presumptuous. It was actually a win-win situation for both sides.

An international tourism island needs to build its reputation.

Originally, they had their eyes on Qi Hui, but Qi Hui refused, so they chose to settle for second best.

……

Qi Hui did not travel with Jing Tian on this return trip.

He went to Jiangsu Province to film "Wolf Warrior". Wu Jingna's crew had already assembled, but he, as the lead actor, couldn't join the crew.

The daily food and drink for people and horses must cost a lot.

Not only Qi Hui, but Lao Ling also didn't return to the capital with Tang Yifei.

The promotion for "Red Sorghum" has begun, and as the male lead, he naturally has to appear on TV shows and such.

Xiao Zhang is in the same boat; he's taken on a role in a web series and is about to start filming.

Pulling down the sun visor, Qi Hui began to look through the system panel.

Qi Hui won a lottery prize from that staff member of the Provincial Propaganda Department and drew a new skill.

However, this skill...

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Proficiency in Essay Writing]

"..."

This skill is... kind of awesome.

Qi Hui opened his phone and looked at an ancient text.

Soon, a series of unusual ways of speaking came to mind:
[His Majesty Liu Bei tragically passed away while leading the Han Dynasty to prosperity. The current international situation presents a tripartite balance of power, and the economic and social development of Yizhou region in my country faces severe challenges and is at a critical juncture of development bottlenecks…]

Does it sound unfamiliar? It's not a big deal; you'll get used to it if you put it another way.

The late Emperor, who had been by my side during the founding of the dynasty, passed away prematurely. Now the empire is divided into three, and Yizhou is exhausted. This is truly a critical moment of survival... The palace and the government are one body; only punishment and censure should be applied, not favoritism...

Qi Hui: “…”

The news broadcast of Shu Kingdom belongs to...

He's not going to take the civil service exam, so this skill is useless to him!

……

A few hours later, the plane landed at Nanjing Lukou Airport.

At the exit, Qi Hui looked around.

I contacted Wu Jing before I came, but he didn't have time to pick me up in person, so I sent the crew driver instead.

After looking for a while, I finally spotted someone in the crowd holding a sign that said he was there to pick me up.

When the driver saw Qi Hui, he was slightly taken aback at first, then sized him up before giving a dry laugh.

To be honest, he's a bit different from the Qi Hui I saw online. In real life, he's a bit... a bit domineering... or rather, fierce.

This demeanor, like that of the dockworkers who do hard labor, doesn't look strong, but seems very irritable.

Qi Hui wasn't the only one who saw the sign the driver was holding; others saw it too. Many girls surrounded Qi Hui, asking for photos and autographs with great enthusiasm.

It wasn't just girls; later, some young men also joined.

If Qi Hui hadn't pulled them to the other side, it would have almost caused a traffic jam at the airport exit.

At first, I wasn't used to it. During my few days in Hainan Province, the people there weren't interested in celebrities or anything like that.

Basically, they'd glance at him a few times, confirm it was him, say a few words, and then leave. They wouldn't ask for autographs or photos.

Qi Hui once felt that he was a bit like an animal in a circus.

I finally got used to that place, but now that I'm in Nanjing, I'm finding it hard to adjust to the warm hospitality of the people here.

It took Qi Hui quite a while to finish dealing with the girls and young men.

He quickly got into the car and had the driver take him to the film set.

……

On the way, Qi Hui also asked the driver about the situation of "Wolf Warrior".

Wu Jing has already started filming.

After all, with so many people gathered together, they can't just do nothing, right?
The film crew has to spend money every day!
However, since the lead actor Qi Hui was not on set, Wu Jing first filmed the scenes with the villains.

For example, the character Min Deng played by Ni Dahong, and the arrogant entrance of that group of foreign mercenaries.

And there was also Min-den's brother's funeral and such.

Anyway, we'll film the scenes without Qi Hui first, and then film his scenes when he arrives.

After all, we can't keep wasting money like this.

The funding for "Wolf Warrior" was actually not abundant. The 80 million yuan cost that Wu Jing mentioned did not include his director's salary.

He implicitly acknowledged that he was a director working for free.

There's also Qi Hui, who starred in the film without receiving any payment.

After all, with an investment of 40 million, Qi Hui no longer needed to ask Wu Jing for payment.

Who transfers money from one hand to the other like that?

Besides these two, there are also venue fees and weapon/equipment fees, all of which were waived for the troops.

In terms of photography equipment, he also used equipment from Qi Hui Yi Xin Film Industry.

Qi Hui had already invested 40 million, so he didn't need these pieces of equipment. Thus, Wu Jing shamelessly approached Xiao Yang.

Wu Jing figured that since she had already gone too far as to be shameless, she might as well go too far one more time.

After obtaining Qi Hui's consent, Xiao Yang also lent the equipment to Wu Jing.

It's free, but you'll have to pay for any damage.

Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts; we can't afford to have an unclear relationship with you.

Wu Jing nodded repeatedly and even drafted a contract.

If all these factors are taken into account, the total cost of "Wolf Warrior" would be close to several hundred million.

It’s scary to think about it.

……

"Holy crap, what have you been through these past few days?" Wu Jing couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Qi Hui.

This guy is like those troublemakers in the army; at first glance, he seems very wild.

But that's perfect, it's perfect for playing Leng Feng.

"Hehe..." Qi Hui chuckled, ignoring Wu Jing.

"Here's what we'll do: go to the training ground and get a feel for the guns," Wu Jing said.

He's currently filming a movie with those foreigners, and the last time Qi Hui handled a gun was when he was participating in an exchange program in Los Angeles.

My hands are definitely rusty now.

"Okay." Qi Hui didn't refuse; he really hadn't touched a weapon in a long time.

Led by the field staff, Qi Hui arrived at the firing range.

There are many firearms here, and several non-commissioned officers in military uniforms are watching over them.

Weapon control requirements are very strict. Although the military supports filming, they will also take appropriate measures.

"Comrade Qi, hello!" A second lieutenant stepped forward, saluted sharply, and called out in a deep voice.

"Hello, comrade." Qi Hui nodded repeatedly. He wasn't a soldier, so he didn't offer a military salute.

"We've seen what you did in Hainan Province, well done!" The lieutenant said excitedly, shaking Qi Hui's arm repeatedly.
"To be honest, I'm a little envious of you. I'd also like to do my part!"

After serving in the military for several years, all I could do was train and participate in exercises. To be honest... it didn't feel good.

He wants to go to the battlefield, but if he can't go to the battlefield, he can at least do disaster relief, right?

Of course, it's just wishful thinking, after all, there are still so many comrades in the Southern Military Region waiting.

Thinking of this, the lieutenant felt a bit amused. Their Southeast Military Region was so far away, they definitely wouldn't have a chance.

But the comrades in the Southern Military Region... have opportunities, but some of them don't get them, which is probably more painful than what we are experiencing!

Hehehe... Luckily, it's not just the Southeast Military Region that's suffering.
