Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 411 Premiere of "One Life, One Love", Gao Yuanyuan
Today is the premiere of "One Life, One Love".
Qi Hui and his group had just flown back to the capital from Huadu when they arrived at the scene.

Despite the competition, Emperor Entertainment still sent invitations to Qi Hui, Lu Yang, and their group.

We're all in the same industry, so competition is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be to the point of exhaustion, does it?
Are you still making money?

Healthy competition is competition without breaking apart!
After handing their luggage to their assistants, Qi Hui, Lu Yang, and the others arrived at the premiere of "One Life, One Love".

"Hello, Brother Tingfeng, I've heard so much about you." Qi Hui smiled and shook hands with Xie Tingfeng.
To be honest, this person looks a bit old.

He was actually born in 80, so he's only in his thirties. He's not very old, but he does look a bit old.

Standing next to Gao Yuanyuan, they look more like an older brother and younger sister, with no sense of being a couple at all.

"Hello, I've heard so much about you. Everyone says you're very skilled in kung fu." Xie Tingfeng said with a smile.
He is no longer the arrogant young man he once was.

If it weren't for some connections, he probably would have suffered the same fate as Zhang Weijian back then.
And so what if you have a relationship?
Jaycee Chan was also imprisoned, but he still ended up in jail.

He's now discovered that being a chef is quite fun, no less so than being an actor.

"It's all hearsay." Qi Hui waved his hands repeatedly. "I'm a professionally trained actor. I don't know martial arts; I'm better at dramatic roles."

He wasn't even born with superhuman strength.

Standing to the side, Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "When you first put down Zhen Zidan, you didn't say the same thing, did you?"
"Come visit my show sometime, I'm learning to cook now," Xie Tingfeng said with a smile, promoting his show, "Chef Nic's Taste of Life."

Hey~
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice rang in Qi Hui's mind.

[The host has made contact with Chef Xie Tingfeng and gained one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to draw the prize now?]

Looking at the system panel, Qi Hui was somewhat stunned.
They weren't dealing with actors, but chefs?

"Draw!" Qi Hui silently chanted in his heart. He wanted to see what skill he could draw.

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Creative Fusion Cuisine]

"..."

He glanced at it briefly and realized that it was neither Chinese nor Western food.

It is a new type of culinary art that is based on Western cooking techniques, integrates modern technologies such as molecular gastronomy, and is supplemented with various Chinese ingredients.

It sounds sophisticated, but in reality, it's just about pursuing various plating techniques to make it look like a work of art.

First, we should focus on how it looks; only then should we focus on how it tastes.

As for time costs, economic costs, etc., they are basically not considered.

This thing is more about appearance than its food properties.

Moreover, the system's newly acquired skill didn't come with the word "proficient" after it.

Nicholas Tse's cooking skills... are probably not as good as I imagined.

"I definitely will if I have the chance." Qi Hui nodded slowly, his smile unchanged.

Upon entering the venue, Lu Yang, Xiao Zhang, Lao Ling, and the others went to find their familiar friends.
Especially Zhao Wenzhuo, who spent his early years in Hong Kong before returning to Beijing after his career faded.

But now that "Brotherhood of Blades" has become a hit even before its release, he feels a bit like he's returning home in glory when facing people from Emperor Entertainment.

He immediately straightened his back and strode forward to chat with people he used to know.

Hong Kong Island is a mature capitalist economy, and instead of finding Zhao Wenzhuo's appearance strange, they welcomed him warmly.

For a moment, both host and guest were comfortable, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Qi Hui wasn't very interested, so he chose to chat with Chen Duling.
He mainly talked to Chen Duling, explaining the dark side of the entertainment industry and the wickedness of human nature.

Chen Duling is a newcomer; if we don't take precautions, problems can easily arise.

After all, she's an artist under his company, and Qi Hui doesn't want any problems to arise.

Before long, Gao Yuanyuan arrived as well.

She originally wanted to talk to Qi Hui, but upon hearing this topic, she couldn't help but chime in.

She had been in the entertainment industry longer than Qi Hui, had more experience, and was more aware of its treacherous nature. Chen Duling listened from the side, somewhat stunned, but quickly made a mental note of it.

People can't imagine things beyond their own understanding. This was the first time she had ever seen how dark and despicable the entertainment industry was.

Why have we never seen anything like this with the crews of "Glorious Times" and "Brotherhood of Blades"?

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention." Qi Hui suddenly realized and introduced them to each other: "Sister Yuanyuan, this is Chen Duling."

"I know," Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile, "Xian Yi, it's 80,000."

Chen Duling nodded with a smile: "Hello, Sister Yuanyuan, I often read your works too."

"Really?" Gao Yuanyuan asked with a smile, "What have you seen?"

Chen Duling, nicknamed "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle," laughed and added, "And there's also 'Let's Get Married.'"

"Haha, that's quite a big leap," Gao Yuanyuan laughed.
Why is it said that people in the entertainment industry are treacherous? This is...

"I forgot to introduce her," Qi Hui continued, "Chen Duling, who played the real Li Muzi in 'The Vanished Her'."

"Gao Yuanyuan plays the fake Li Muzi in 'The Vanished Her'"

Upon hearing this, the two women looked at each other with some surprise, not expecting it to be like this.

"Sister Yuanyuan, please take care of me in the future," Chen Duling said immediately.

"Not at all, little sister, let's chat more in the future," Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

As they were talking, a voice came from the speakers, and director Zou Xian went on stage to speak.

Seeing this, Xie Tingfeng and Gao Yuanyuan, the lead actors, also went on stage and made a brief appearance.

Soon, we got down to business and the movie started playing.

Lu Yang and the others returned to Qi Hui's side and watched a movie together.

After such a long flight, watching a movie to relax is a good idea.

Although they returned in first class, which was comfortable and spacious, they were still somewhat exhausted.

As the dragon emblem appeared, the movie officially began.

Qi Hui pondered, trying to recall the movie "One Life, One Love"... but he seemed to have no memory of it?
Yes, he realized that he seemed to have no memory of the movie before he traveled through time.

He hadn't even seen any clips of the movie or any related news on short video platforms.

"Looks like a loser..." Qi Hui thought to himself.

It might be an art film, which is why it's not very well-known?
With a sense of doubt, Qi Hui turned his gaze to the big screen.

The scene begins with towering skyscrapers and a steel jungle-like cityscape of New York.
Qi Hui, with his sharp eyes, spotted something irreplaceable in this scene: the World Trade Center Twin Towers.

Then Gao Yuanyuan appeared.

However, she had nothing to do with those high-rise buildings; she lived in an old-fashioned red-brick apartment.
The apartment was similar to the one with the broken door that Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man lived in—old, run-down, and small!

Then Nicholas Tse appeared, dressed in a suit and tie, holding a newspaper in one hand and a coffee in the other... I don't know if it was Starbucks.

He walked among the skyscrapers, exuding the air of a successful person.

The camera followed him, then zoomed up, giving a shot of the World Trade Center twin towers.

Lu Yang and Chen Duling, who were standing next to Qi Hui, exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled as to why they kept filming the Twin Towers.
Is there any particular reason for this?
Then, Xie Tingfeng and Gao Yuanyuan talked on the phone. They greeted each other, but I didn't hear what they said. Then Gao Yuanyuan burst into tears, overjoyed.

To be honest, Gao Yuanyuan is really beautiful; even her tears are stunning.

Then the scene shifts back to Beijing in 1976.

That year, Wu Jinggang was two years old... Of course, he had nothing to do with this.
