Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 409: If you make a mistake, you must admit it; if you are beaten, you must stand upright

The newly released video for "Brotherhood of Blades" looks almost identical to the video featuring Qi Hui.

Moreover, the content picks up where the previous story left off.
In the video, Qi Hui skillfully sheathed his sword. Shortly after, Zhao Wenzhuo exchanged a few words with Qi Hui, then took off his coat and took the long sword.
Then, just like Qi Hui, he began to wield his sword in the arena, and then started to replicate Qi Hui's kicking sword move.

The first time, it failed; the second and third times, it still failed.
But on the fourth try, when everyone in the video was pessimistic, Zhao Wenzhuo succeeded.
Like Qi Hui, he twirled his sword, tossed it into the air, then turned and kicked it, followed by a stylish grab and sheathing of the sword.
The action is completed in one go!
Compared to Qi Hui's domineering and fierce swordsmanship, Zhao Wenzhuo's swordsmanship appeared graceful, like a dance.

The same knife technique, different styles, a feast for the eyes.
"handsome!"

"No matter how many times I watch it, this combo is always so cool!"

"Come on, those of you who said it was fake, come out here right now!"

"Why is no one exposing these fakes anymore?"

"happy!"

"Just a few days ago they were analyzing things for me, like shooting angles, frame rates, editing, and special effects. Where are all those masters now? Why are they all silent?"

"Yeah, why aren't they all coming out?"

"Come on, let's fight!"

"My keyboard is itching for a forcing attack!"

"Where are the masters of analysis? Dare to challenge me?"

"Me too, let's get started!"

"Hahaha, they're all playing dead. In this situation, why would they dare to show up?"

"I wonder how much it hurts to get slapped like that."

"Haha, you're right. If I were them, I'd probably be at home crying my eyes out."

"They actually smear the heroes who do disaster relief and rescue work; I really don't know what they're thinking."

"Just based on the manly things Qi Hui did, I definitely have to support this movie!"

"Yes, me too!"

"Those who don't support this are not Chinese!"

"I'm from Hainan Province, and I owe him a movie ticket!"

"They're probably just Western sycophants who can't stand to see us doing well."

Wow, it's rare to see netizens from Hainan Province!

"..."

……

Jinling Lukou Airport
Qi Hui, carrying his bag, strode quickly toward the VIP lounge.

I'm used to being in a rush in everything I do in the military.

But this caused a lot of trouble for the assistant following behind.

She carried a backpack and had her own small bag slung around her waist, her short legs moving quickly.

They caught up with Qi Hui, but were quickly left behind again.

Just then, my phone beeped with a message from General Manager Yang.

The assistant picked it up and took a look. He immediately ran a few steps, caught up with Qi Hui, and handed him the phone.

Seeing his assistant sweating profusely, Qi Hui chuckled, realizing he had been walking a bit too fast.

But as his eyes swept across the phone screen, Qi Hui's eyebrows furrowed instantly, and he could no longer smile.

Some people on the internet are using his disaster relief work to stir up trouble.

In the document, Yixin's side made a simple analysis and found that such comments often appeared in posts discussing kicking knives, posts discussing the authenticity of video content, and posts mocking online trolls.

To put it simply, these comments are mostly found in posts related to "Brotherhood of Blades".

In other words, it was used for promotion by the "Brotherhood of Blades" team.
Qi Hui remained silent for a moment; he did not like this method of publicity.

The initial motivation for disaster relief was simply to do the work, not to gain fame or establish a public image.

With his current abilities, he doesn't need to do that.

"Let's go to the lounge first," Qi Hui said, then sent the documents to Lu Yang and asked what was going on. The assistant took a deep breath, preparing to grit her teeth and follow Qi Hui.

He walks really fast, and with his tall stature and long legs, he strides like a dragon, making it a bit difficult for her to keep up.

But soon, the assistant noticed that Qi Hui had slowed down.
Although she sometimes unconsciously speeds up, keeping up is no longer so strenuous for her.
VIP Lounge

Qi Hui had just put down his bag and was about to turn on the air conditioning and grab some chilled drinks.
Working on the Wolf Warrior set was really tough. The heat made us lose our appetite, so we ate very little, but on top of that, we had to do a lot of physical activity.

No wonder Jing Tian thought he was thin; anyone would be thin in that situation!
However, before he could even get up, Lu Yang called.

First came an apology, admitting that the comments were indeed made by his side.

It was his publicity director who took it upon himself to cause this mess.

He just found out about this too.

A few minutes after Qi Hui sent him the message, a deputy director who had been keeping an eye on the online situation came over to talk to him about it.

"I'm sorry, senior." Lu Yang said helplessly, his tone even carrying a hint of annoyance and guilt, "It's my fault, I apologize."

When something happens to his men, he naturally can't avoid it.

If you're wrong, admit it; if you're going to be punished, stand up straight.

"How are you handling things on your end?" Qi Hui asked, wanting to resolve the matter first.

“I’ve already had all those comments deleted,” Lu Yang said immediately. “And stop this kind of publicity as well.”

"As for that publicity director, I've already dismissed him and will no longer use him."

"Do you think it's alright? Do you have any other ideas?"

Qi Hui thought for a moment: "Okay, that's all."

He simply doesn't like or want to cultivate that kind of persona. Building a persona is troublesome, and it's easy for it to collapse.
That's how it is with the emblem; it establishes a persona of loving one's wife, but what's the result?
It is obvious to all
"Okay..." Lu Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief and explained, "That guy isn't very bright; he can't distinguish between the big and small kings. He probably thought you and I were just ordinary lead actors and directors."

To be honest, with the official roadshow and promotional activities just around the corner, this incident has left Lu Yang quite upset.
"This isn't a sign of being mentally challenged; it's clearly an over-the-top brilliance," Qi Hui said with a smile.

Unfortunately, it wasn't used for the right thing.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Okay, when are you coming?" Lu Yang asked. "Everyone else is here: Lao Ling, Xiao Yang, Chen Duling, and Teacher Zhao."

"Waiting for the plane." Qi Hui glanced at the tarmac outside the window. "It'll be several more hours."

Okay, we'll wait for you.

……

A few hours later, Qi Hui landed in the capital.
With Qi Hui's arrival, the promotional roadshow for "Brotherhood of Blades" officially began.

They appear on talk shows, TV programs, and offline roadshows.

Zhao Wenzhuo was highly enthusiastic about his work, and he even demonstrated his knife-kicking skills in front of everyone while holding a Miao knife.

He was already in his forties and past his prime. Before "Brotherhood of Blades" found him, he was practically semi-retired.

But he doesn't want to retire yet!

He also wants to become a huge star in middle age, just like Donnie Yen!

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

Of course he would seize the opportunity; how could his work enthusiasm not be high?

The reason why audiences come to the roadshow is precisely this.

These factors further fueled the audience's enthusiasm.

The audience even joked that Qi Hui should come along too, so that the two of them could work together in perfect unison and make for a great show!
The idea was wonderful, but the crew only brought one Miao sword.

Qi Hui took another one, and Lu Yang collected the remaining one.

He's a director, can't he collect some fun toys?
Immediately, Qi Hui and Lu Yang told the audience that if they didn't come now, they would do a double knife kick performance after the film's release.

Soon, videos and news of the roadshow spread online.

The audience grew increasingly enthusiastic; who wouldn't want to witness such a cool scene in person?
However, "Brotherhood of Blades" is a huge hit.

But things are a bit more complicated with "One Life, One Love".
The media always loves to capitalize on favorable circumstances. With "Brotherhood of Blades" generating so much buzz, who else would they report on if not it?
Could it be a report titled "One Life, One Love"?
Do we still care about sales and traffic?
