Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 406 This is what silly college students are like.

As soon as the video started playing, some noise came through.

There were quite a few people, chattering and walking around.

But among all these people, Qi Hui stood out the most.

He was dressed in a black flying fish robe embroidered with silver clouds and dragons, and held a long sword almost as tall as a person in his hand.

His outfit was so stylish that as soon as the video started, people's eyes were immediately drawn to him.

"Let's begin." A familiar male voice rang out, and upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be the famous martial arts actor Zhao Wenzhuo.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Hui bent his knees slightly, ready to strike.

With a sudden burst of movement, he wielded his long Miao saber, advancing with a sweeping thrust, a head-wrapping slash, a turning thrust, a shifting stance with a sweeping slash, a somersault with a point thrust and a parry...

The Thirteen Forms of Xinyou Knife Technique were unleashed by Qi Hui, the bright blade flashing, and a fierce and domineering aura suddenly arose.

This sword technique is for use in battle, excelling at killing and not for aesthetics.

But whether it looks good or not depends on who's doing it.

Handsome people look good no matter what kind of swordsmanship they use.

For example, can Captain Jia's long robe have the same effect as Daniel Wu's long robe?

Moreover, Qi Hui was wearing an incredibly handsome black flying fish robe embroidered with silver dragons and clouds.
Just as everyone was stunned by Xin You's sword technique, Qi Hui's sword technique changed in the next moment, and he wielded the slender Miao sword with bursts of sword flowers.

Then, with a twist of his wrist, he turned and threw the knife into the air.

In mid-air, the slender Miao sword spun like a windmill.

Qi Hui suddenly executed a spinning kick, his heel tracing an arc as it struck the hilt of the sword.

The already spinning Miao sword accelerated even further.

Qi Hui twisted his body and grabbed the hilt of the sword, deftly sheathing it.

"..."

The visuals were quite stunning, looking like movie special effects!
As the video circulated, netizens were utterly shocked.

"Holy crap, is this special effects?"

"Can't you tell if it's special effects or not?"

"Exactly, do you think someone would hire a professional Hollywood team to do special effects for this video?"

"We don't have that kind of special effects technology in China, so the things they make look like they're afraid you won't be able to tell they're fake!"

"Holy crap! That's outrageous! How did he do that?"

"Is this for real? How can you catch a knife that's spinning in the air and then being kicked?"

"Amazing!"

"That's so cool! Coach, I want to learn that!"
Coach: I still want to learn!

"It seems particularly outrageous, but when I saw that it was Qi Hui, it suddenly made sense to me."

"Yes, yes, after all, he doesn't know martial arts, he just has superhuman strength!"

"happy!"

"What are they doing? Filming a movie?"

The movie "Brotherhood of Blades" will be released next month.

"Holy crap, I have to watch this now!"

"Just for that swordsmanship, I'll definitely go see it when the movie comes out!"

"..."

Soon, thanks to several netizens who wished to remain anonymous, the name "Brotherhood of Blades" spread like wildfire.

Soon, the hashtag "[Qi Hui kicks the knife, comparable to special effects]" appeared on the trending searches, along with the name of the film "Brotherhood of Blades".

Prior to this, Lu Yang had already released promotional posters and trailers for Embroidered Spring Blade.

The movie went viral across the internet at an astonishing speed, even before the initial promotional campaign had begun.

There's no way around it; that knife-kicking video was just too cool, making it hard not to discuss.

Of course, it wasn't all a natural development; after all, many netizens who wish to remain anonymous were pulling the strings behind the scenes.

The publicity director of "Brotherhood of Blades" definitely used online trolls and such.

However, without such good material, his online army wouldn't have achieved this effect.

Lu Yang watched all this and silently launched the official film promotion.

He had ample funds for publicity, so he followed the normal procedures for film promotion while continuing online promotion.

As the art of war says: Engage with the orthodox, and win with the unorthodox.
A two-pronged approach, crossfire!

Jinling, China Southern Airlines

University life is relatively relaxed, with a fair amount of free time. Naturally, university students are among the most active people online.

The video of Qi Hui kicking the knife naturally drew gasps and cheers from many college students.

At home, students from the martial arts club practiced swordplay, trying to recreate that cool and awe-inspiring scene.

Unfortunately, some of the clumsy movements didn't look pretty at all.

In the girls' group chat, the initial discussion about "Swords of Legends" and Li Yifeng shifted to talking about Qi Hui and "Brotherhood of Blades."

However, soon someone noticed that something was wrong.

Why does it look like there are girls from our school in that video?
Upon hearing this news, many people were shocked, wondering if such a thing really happened.

This gave them a strange feeling, like seeing their neighbor walk the runway at a Victoria's Secret event.
Soon, related posts appeared on the school's online forum.

"Holy crap, isn't that Chen Duling?"

"This feeling is so strange, as if death, which is far away, has suddenly appeared before my eyes."

"Hey upstairs, are you obsessed with 'The Three-Body Problem'?"

"Don't rush, don't rush. Although the metaphor is not appropriate, the meaning is there."

"Well, that makes sense!"

"I searched it on Baidu and found out that Chen Duling is actually the female lead!"

"Really? Then why haven't we heard any news about her before?"

"Because the female lead's name is listed after the three main brothers' names."

"I see, no wonder I didn't notice it before."

"Haha, poor female lead!"

Wow, Chen Duling looks so beautiful in ancient costume!

"What's so interesting about her? She's playing a woman from a brothel, a prostitute."

"Oh, isn't this your senior? Are you jealous?"

"What senior? That's nonsense! This is our long-haired senior!"

"Hahaha……"

"..."

Unsurprisingly, the thread has gone off-topic.

This is what silly college students are like.

School dormitory
Chen Duling, who was studying at home, stretched and put down her textbook.

She didn't go home for summer vacation, but stayed at school to study during the summer break.

On the one hand, we reviewed the content from the previous semester.

Last semester, she crammed and memorized everything in order to prepare for the exams, and didn't learn anything properly.

In fact, he barely passed several subjects.

At the same time, I also plan to study the knowledge for the next semester.

Although she returned to school to study, when she came back after filming wrapped up, General Manager Yang pulled her aside and analyzed her situation.

Then they invited her to sign a contract and become an artist under Yixin Film Studio.
Chen Duling hesitated about this, as she was still in school and didn't want things in the entertainment industry to affect her studies.

Later, Mr. Yang agreed that she would not be forced to act before graduation; she could act if she wanted to, and not act if she didn't want to.

After graduation, if you want to enter the entertainment industry, you can also renew your contract.

These conditions shocked Chen Yao. Could they really be this lenient?
Xiao Yang smiled without saying a word. Back then, Qi Hui... no, Qi Hui is still like this now.

Of course, it's also because she has a lot of things to do and only plans to mentor one or two newcomers.

Faced with these conditions, Chen Duling still hesitated a bit, but her good friend Chen Yao signed a contract with President Yang.

Furthermore, since this was Qi Hui's company, she thought about it and agreed to sign the contract.

Chen Duling doesn't like to trouble others. If there are any projects later on, she wants to cooperate with the company without affecting her studies.

After all, the company offered her extremely generous terms.

Chen Duling picked up her phone, intending to relax a bit; staring at textbooks all day was quite tiring.

Soon, she saw messages from many people.

"Ah, this..." Chen Duling was somewhat shocked and flustered, not knowing how to reply for a moment.

"Oh, right!" she suddenly realized something.
"I think I also need to promote the movie 'Brotherhood of Blades'..."

Before the thought had even subsided, his phone rang; it was the producer calling.
