Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 419 Glory Can Only Be Enjoyed by You Alone!

On Monday, Wei Ke did not lie.

In the scene where it was very smooth, if it weren't for Qi Hui's help, not only would he not have acted well, but he would have been even worse.
Lu Yang can't even direct well.
The extra money part was also something I learned from Qi Hui.

At the time, director Lu Yang asked Qi Hui for help, but Qi Hui claimed that he was an actor, not a director, and wouldn't do that kind of work.

You'll have to pay more to do it!
The famous scene where Ding Xiu adds money is something he learned from this.

No wonder director Lu Yang said that Ding Xiu was written based on Qi Hui; Zhou Yiwei used to be a little skeptical.

Now that I see it... Holy crap, isn't Qi Hui just Ding Xiu himself?

He's both sexy and strong, and unrestrained in his behavior. If he were to play Ding Xiu, it would be a perfect fit for him!
Nearby, Lao Ling, Xiao Zhang, and a few others chuckled smugly, watching the spectacle unfold.

……

Faced with the gazes of so many viewers, Qi Hui's face darkened slightly.
What kind of truth are you talking about?
However, he was a man who had seen many big occasions, so he immediately coughed lightly and said slowly:

"Logically, I should answer this question to satisfy the audience's request, but I need to clarify something here..."

Upon hearing this, the rows of audience members immediately sat up straight, listening intently to Qi Hui's speech.
"Actually, this is because Teacher Zhou deliberately placed this honor on me for the sake of the movie."

"I didn't, I didn't..." Zhou Yiwei quickly said.

But will Qi Hui give him a chance?

It can't be!

"You all probably don't know this yet, do you?" Qi Hui continued, "Teacher Zhou is my senior; she graduated from the 00 acting class at the Beijing Film Academy."

"After graduation, he stayed on to teach at the university, ranking first in his major, and became one of our teachers. Senior students Wang Luodan and Huang Shengyi were both his students."

"In terms of acting skills, he is a senior, a mentor!"

"In terms of understanding the role, he is our teacher and our leader."

"So... I am very grateful to Professor Zhou for taking care of me, but I cannot accept that this honor should be enjoyed by you alone!"

"..." Zhou Yiwei was on the verge of tears. Senior my ass!
I'm just a vocational college student, how dare you undergraduates bully me!
Fortunately, after some joking and banter, the problem was glossed over.

Next, Zhao Wenzhuo and Qi Hui performed a traditional act: kicking the knife!

The promise made before the film's release—a double-knife kick—was fulfilled after its release.

The two moved in perfect unison, delivering a spectacular display of swords flying in unison.
Can you imagine two knives spinning in the air, then being kicked, and then being caught by someone turning around?
Double the surprise, double the joy!
This drew applause and cheers from countless spectators.
This scene, along with a video taken on a mobile phone, spread online, eliciting waves of joy from netizens.

This scene is worth the ticket price even if you weren't there to see a movie!

What are you still standing there for?
Quickly check the information and keep an eye on Qi Hui and Zhao Wenzhuo!
In this situation, many people who had never been to a movie theater before also became moviegoers.
Amid this thriving situation, the opening week box office figures were quickly released: 339 million.
Compared to the opening day box office, the opening week box office figures were not as shocking.
After all, it was all anticipated and within expectations.
……

英皇
Looking at the soaring box office numbers of "Brotherhood of Blades" and then at his own "But Always" film's plummeting performance, Zou Xian slammed the file on the table.

The opening weekend box office of "Brotherhood of Blades" exceeded the total box office of her "But Always"!

Damn Fuck!

Using acrobatics to attract audiences, isn't that cheating?

She was furious. Even Hollywood doesn't do this when promoting movies. The creators of "Brotherhood of Blades" are just too shameless and despicable!
"Fuck!" Zou Xian cursed fiercely, threw down the file, and stopped paying attention.

The more I look at her, the more upset I get. If Gao Yuanyuan and Xie Tingfeng had put in the same effort as the lead actors of "Brotherhood of Blades" during the promotional tour, her "One Life, One Love" would definitely not have turned out like this!
"Ignorance, laziness, ugliness, disunity... Indeed, what the teacher taught was always right." Zou Xian looked out the window at the bustling Chaoyang CBD and felt a wave of annoyance. So what if the infrastructure is good? It still means low human rights, no freedom, and no progress.

"Indeed, the free and easy America suits me better..." Zou Xian began to miss his motherland.

The assistant immediately sent the freshly compiled data to Han Sanping.

Chairman Han was somewhat concerned about these people.
"Not bad, not bad..." Han Sanping chuckled. Nearly 4 million yuan in its opening week—this performance will give martial arts films a second spring.
Han Sanping put down the documents, his mood improving. If Guo Fan and Lu Yang had achieved such results, the others couldn't be too far behind.
Wu Jing, who is currently filming "Wolf Warrior," and Qi Hui, whose script has already been approved.
And Lu Chuan, who is currently preparing for "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe".
A big IP combined with Lu Chuan should yield good results.

After all, Lu Chuan was a leading figure among the sixth generation of directors.

Back when Qi Hui wasn't even in college, he had already collaborated with Jiang Wen on the film "The Missing Gun".
With the considerable reputation of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and Lu Chuan as the director, even if it can't compare to Lu Yang and Guo Fan, it shouldn't be too far off.

Thinking about this, Han Sanping became even more excited.
……

the other side

Yang Mi is at home recovering from childbirth, holding her baby girl.
She was a bit bored during her postpartum confinement period, and although she wasn't acting during this time, she still kept a close eye on the entertainment industry.
Despite already having a daughter, her ambition for her career has only increased.

Fortunately, her fame did not decline during her postpartum period.

The popularity of "Swords of Legends" has propelled her to new heights.
Yang Mi is quite proud that her comeback will be much easier than others.
But... the popularity of "Brotherhood of Blades" suddenly made her unable to smile anymore.

My ominous premonition came true; this movie is really popular!

The female character she looked down on was snatched up by a newcomer who even received considerable praise.

Her film, "The Breakup Guru," was heavily criticized as a terrible movie.
Thinking of this, Yang Mi felt a pang of heartache; it was so painful!

It's all that bastard Qi Hui's fault. He gave me the role that Jing Tian didn't want. How could I not be angry?

If it weren't for this incident, I might have already acted it out!
"I wonder if I'll be chosen as the Golden Eagle Goddess this year..." Yang Mi murmured.
With so many hit dramas in recent years, she should still have opportunities.

Especially in the currently airing drama "Swords of Legends," she should be able to compete with other actresses.

At this moment, Liu Kaiwei walked in from outside, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase.
He's also an actor, and since Yang Mi isn't working during this time, he naturally has to take on the responsibility of working with her.

"Mimi, what's wrong?" Seeing that Yang Mi didn't look well, he couldn't help but ask.
As she spoke, she took the child and handed him to the nanny, looking at Yang Mi with concern.
"It's nothing," Yang Mi shook her head. "I'm thinking about my future work."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kaiwei frowned slightly, but did not say anything more.
He actually didn't want Yang Mi to continue acting; couldn't she just stay home and take care of the children?
It's not like we don't have money.

But a quick glance revealed news related to "Brotherhood of Blades" on Yang Mi's phone screen.

Liu Kaiwei knew that Yang Mi might not only be thinking about work, but might also be pondering Qi Hui.

This annoyed him; why was it Qi Hui again?

……

Jiangsu Province, Nanjing

Qi Hui and his assistant disembarked from the plane, found the waiting driver from the "Wolf Warrior" film crew, and headed to the film set.
The roadshow usually lasts about seven days, but Qi Hui still needs to film "Wolf Warrior" and can't leave for an extended period.
The crew's food and supplies cost a considerable amount.

Although Qi Hui is not the director, he is the biggest investor. It's his own money, so how could he waste it like that?
Seeing Qi Hui return, Wu Jing also breathed a sigh of relief:

"Attention all departments, all unauthorized personnel, please leave the area. Filming is about to begin!"
