Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 444 The Midday Sun Arrives at the Door (Nirvana in Fire) (4th Update)
Why does this happen?

Qi Hui guessed that it must be the big boss behind the public intellectuals, the US Agency for International Development, that made the move.

Of course, this development agency is also quite useless.

They can only protect public intellectuals by diverting attention and offering them benefits; they don't even have the ability to fight back.

If it were me, Qi, doing this, I would go straight to Huayi, bribe their top executives with a hefty sum, and then get them to lead the rebellion.

Let's revisit the old days of the anti-gambling forum!

Then let the public intellectuals take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, wouldn't that resolve the dilemma?
what?
You said you don't have that much money?
That's impossible! We Americans have mountains of gold and silver that we can never spend all of!
……

After a long journey of more than ten hours, the plane landed in Beijing.
People from Huayi came to pick up Qi Hui and his entourage at the airport, treating them like heroes, and took them back to the airport with a grand banquet.
At the banquet, the Wang brothers, Zongjun and Zonglei, had smiles on their old faces as broad as blooming chrysanthemums.

The reputation of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" soared, becoming a hit even before its release—a situation they could hardly have imagined before.

Therefore, it is only natural to give a warm celebration to Qi Hui and the others who have returned from their expedition.

Qi Hui was speechless, feeling that these two had a narrow mind.

It's not just small, it's pitifully small!
If we seize this opportunity to launch a full-scale attack, we can truly tear open a huge wound in the American narrative constructed by the UNDP and public intellectuals.

Then Huayi would no longer be Huayi, but rather a pioneer and trailblazer on the propaganda front.

At that time, with the country's support... well, those two are too narrow-minded; thinking about that is pointless.

at the banquet

The crew members devoured the delicious food on the table, but the American food wasn't to their liking and was rather unpalatable.
The food from our own country is the most authentic!

During the banquet, Guo Fan also announced that the film crew would have three days off.

Everyone, get some rest and adjust to the time difference.

Now that I'm back in China, I don't need to work so hard anymore.
Immediately, the crew cheered and raised their glasses in a toast.
Guo Fan dared not drink too much, as he had heard some rumors that Young Master Wang was not only interested in women but also in men.

Therefore, Lao Guo would never dare to get drunk at Huayi.

villa
What to do if you have trouble falling asleep due to jet lag?
Qi Hui was very distressed by this, as it was really difficult to return to a normal routine after his days and nights had been turned upside down.

However, it's not a big problem; Jing Tian has an excellent solution for it.
So what if you have a lot of energy? I'll help you burn it off, won't I?
Don't move, just lie still.
Thus, Jing Tian transformed into a software hardening engineer, embarking on a project that consumed her energy.

The project was quite challenging, so she specially wore a fitted, hip-hugging business uniform.

To speed up the project, she even wore black stockings that could increase critical hit rate.
Qi Hui: “…”

My life is over!

A few hours later, the project was successfully completed.
Qi Hui didn't even have time to give a speech at the completion of the project before he fell into a deep sleep.

Jing Tian yawned and went to sleep.

The project was quite challenging; she initially had to work as a software hardening engineer.
Later on, I also had to take on the role of hardware software engineer.
Taking on two jobs simultaneously took a toll on her physical strength.

……

Yixin Film and Television

Qi Hui was looking at the script in his office.
With Jing Tian's help, he adjusted to the time difference as quickly as possible.
He is now in good spirits and has returned to normal.

So as soon as things returned to normal, Qi Hui started reading the script and thinking about how to act in the next scene.

Acting opposite Huang Bo, Qi Hui naturally wouldn't find it difficult if he were acting alone.

But don't we still have Jing Tian to take care of?
So it was a bit strenuous.

But just as Qi Hui was preparing for "The Lost Tomb," the phone on the table rang.

It's Xiao Yang calling; someone's coming to see you, Chairman.
Qi Hui: "..." This feels familiar, like I've seen this plot somewhere before.
If I'm not mistaken, there are two people who want to see me.

However, Xiao Yang interrupted Qi Hui's reverie, confirming that they were indeed two people, and also the CEO of the same company.

However, it wasn't the Wang brothers from Huayi Brothers, but Kong Sheng and Sun Molong from Daylight Entertainment.

Qi Hui was somewhat surprised by this. What did they want from me?

……

After a few minutes
Kong Sheng and Sun Molong waited for Qi Hui in the reception room.

"Oh, Chairman, it's been a long time!" Kong Sheng and Sun Molong immediately stood up, lined up, and shook hands with Qi Hui repeatedly.
Qi Hui felt as if he were being inspected by a leader.

"Ahem... Gentlemen, what can I do for you?" Qi Hui asked directly, getting straight to the point.
We can't give these two a chance, otherwise they'll ramble on and on, never getting to the point.
“Uh…” Sun Molong was stunned for a moment. Although he had cooperated with Qi Hui a few times before, hadn’t they been separated for several months?
The habit I finally developed has become unfamiliar again.

Fortunately, he reacted well. He exchanged a glance with Kong Sheng, quickly organized his thoughts, and then slowly said:

"Chairman, our Daylight Entertainment has produced a great show, and we'd like to invite you to play the male lead."

As he spoke, Sun Molong took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to Qi Hui.
A bit thick

Not just the script, but also the storyboards and some of the project proposals.
Qi Hui is also a director, so he can understand these things.

Showing him these things will more clearly demonstrate the value of their midday sunshine.

Qi Hui glanced at the cover and raised an eyebrow. The three large characters on it read: *Nirvana in Fire*.

Qi Hui hadn't finished watching the drama adapted from a female-oriented online novel, but he had heard of its reputation.
Among a sea of ​​terrible shows, this one received a high rating and many positive reviews.
Of course, limited by the influence of female-oriented online novels, this drama deviates somewhat from realism, but as a series, its quality is still quite good.

"Doesn't Noon Entertainment have an artist management department?" Qi Hui asked, picking up the script and glancing at it.
"Why not hire actors from within your own company?"

Last year, Daylight Entertainment established an artist management department, and the artists they signed were all quite good actors.
Wang Kai, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao, Qiao Xin...

Across from them, Kong Sheng and Sun Molong exchanged a glance. Looking at Qi Hui's expression and listening to his tone, a secret joy welled up within them.

They come from within the system, so reading people and their expressions is a basic skill for them.

Having spent so much time together, they wouldn't say they fully understood Qi Hui's emotions, but they could say they had a pretty good grasp of them.
Our chairman's expression clearly shows he's interested; he's obviously tempted.
for a while
After Qi Hui finished reading the script, the two slowly asked, "Chairman, how's our play going?"

"It's alright." Qi Hui nodded, indicating his opinion.
"Then... shall we schedule this together?" Kong Sheng rubbed his hands together and asked with a smile.
"I'm not acting," Qi Hui said bluntly, shrugging his shoulders.

Kong Sheng: "..."

It seems my ability to read people's expressions and moods is still a bit lacking!
Qi Hui is indeed not acting. Next year... no, this year, his work schedule is still packed.

We'll be filming "Mojin: The Lost Legend" for the next two or three months, then working on "The Vanished Woman".

After finishing filming "The Vanished Woman," they will continue filming "Si Teng."

During this period, Qi Hui will also be involved in the promotional work for "Wolf Warrior" and "Mojin: The Lost Legend".
And the later stages of "The Vanished She" and "Si Teng".
By the time I finish all this, it'll probably be the end of the year again.
"Uh? Chairman, what's wrong with you..." Sun Molong, lacking composure, blurted out the question.

But before he could finish speaking, Qi Hui raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently.

Sun Molong swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

At that moment, he recalled the feeling of being dominated by Qi Hui in "The Beginning," "Battle of Changsha," and "Glorious Era."

Kong Sheng was a little slow to react, but he still quietly patted Sun Molong on the shoulder.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, Chairman." Kong Sheng apologized with a look of remorse.

"It's alright." Qi Hui waved his hand and smiled, "I really don't have the time to act."

Kong Sheng's eyes darted around, he rubbed his hands together, and continued to ask, "What's Jing Tian's schedule like? Does she have time?"

"The female lead in our show is pretty good!"
