Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 456 Wolf Warrior's Opponents: Liu Yifei and Gao Yuanyuan

The video quickly garnered attention, comments, and shares upon its release.

Video platforms like Youku, iQiyi, and Tencent Video all featured it on their homepages.

Bilibili even placed it directly in the "Hot" section.
Qi Hui topped the Weibo trending list again.
The hashtag "[Real men should drive tanks]" topped the trending search list.
Now, Yang Mi, who had been dominating Weibo's trending topics for a long time, Li Yifeng, who rose to fame with "Swords of Legends," the idol group TFboys, and even Lu Han, a top idol who returned from overseas, have all paled in comparison.
Just like when Wang Feng holds a concert, the trending topics are all over the place!

Yang Mi was completely dumbfounded. "Damn it, Qi Hui stole my spotlight again!"

She's carrying the betting agreement on her shoulders, how could she dare to slack off?
So, deciding that if they couldn't beat them, they'd join them, immediately forwarding and commenting on the post to ride the wave of popularity.
As for the others, Li Yifeng, Lu Han, and the three members of the "Poop-Scooping Boys" group...

They tacitly chose to remain silent.

Because they are the opposite of this video.
To others, men with delicate features, covered in makeup, and who only know how to jump around are not real men.

Showing your face now will only get you beaten up and killed instantly!

These people were all just starting out, not arrogant enough to go head-to-head with a big shot like Qi Hui.
……

Huayi
Wang Zonglei and Wang Zongjun looked at each other, bewildered.

Qi Hui... is a bit too outrageous!

It's one thing to play with guns and cannons, but how come you know so much about tanks?
This is not like the previous artillery video, where the knowledge was superficial and easy for anyone to understand.

Who would dare to drive a tank like that in just a few years?

That was a slope nearly half a meter high; if the tank wasn't careful, it could easily tip over, with the gun barrel hitting the ground and rendering it unusable.

Wang Zonglei: "Brother, what do you think?"

Wang Zongjun: "..."

"Brother, say something!" Wang Zonglei urged.
You're a professional!
Scouts!
"Shut up!" Wang Zongjun said irritably.

"What do you care what he can do? Our country bans guns, and even some knives are regulated. What are you afraid of?"

What can he do to you?

Wang Zongjun was somewhat exasperated. It's just Qi Hui, what's there to be afraid of?

As long as you don't provoke him, he's not going to eat you up.
"Oh..." Wang Zonglei nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
That's true, everyone's just trying to make money, they're not risking their lives!
"Alright, go do what you were doing," Wang Zongjun waved his hand.
"it is good……"

“There’s one more thing!” Wang Zongjun suddenly said, “From now on, you’ll handle dealings with him. You’re in charge of external affairs, so I won’t interfere with your work.”

With that, he turned and left, leaving Wang Zonglei standing there, bewildered.
You just said there was nothing to be afraid of...

Hong Kong Island
As Zhen Zi watched the video, a chill ran down his spine, and he felt a deep sense of lingering fear.

Hunting, handling guns, playing with cannons, driving tanks... these are skills that someone in the entertainment industry should have?
And those moves I used to beat him back then were basically things from the military.
Is this person some kind of professional?

Could he be... a spy?
Zhen Zidan's mind raced, his thoughts soaring beyond the solar system and the Milky Way, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened and terrified he became.

……

A few days later

Another video appeared online.

Helicopters, tanks, and Qi Hui in military uniform
Explosions, sniping, foreigners in military uniforms
Rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, and a forest battlefield under heavy fire.
Accompanied by rousing music, the lights flash continuously.

Finally, it transforms into two large steel characters: Wolf Warrior!
It's the trailer for Wolf Warrior.
Soon, netizens arrived.
"Holy crap? This is a movie? Not one of those videos from before?"

"It's been so long since I've seen a military movie starring Qi Hui, this one is a must-see!"

"This trailer looks good, it seems promising!"

“If it were someone else, I would think it was a movie, but since Qi Hui is in it, I would only think it was a documentary!”

"That's right, damn it, I'm not exaggerating at all that he's capable of. Qi Hui has always been this fierce!"

"I'm definitely going to see this movie!"

"Let's go together to the cinema to watch a documentary!"

"Haha, that's an interesting point." "No problem, it's just a documentary, isn't it?"

"..."

Weibo
The trending topics list has changed again, with "[Wolf Warrior, Qi Hui starring movie]" prominently featured.

The movie "Wolf Warrior" quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Meanwhile, Wu Jing launched his operation, and many entertainment news media outlets began to report on it.

Then, many people started to follow suit.

This thing is popularity, traffic, and sales.

Why not report it? Have the KPIs been met?
Major companies and numerous film and television professionals in the industry were utterly shocked by this.

Can a single teaser trailer really have this effect?
Isn't that a bit outrageous?

This has already become a hit before it even airs!
Is it really that easy for a movie to become a hit before it's even released?
Is this how "Mojin: The Lost Legend" is, and is "Wolf Warrior" the same?

"Mojin: The Lost Legend" at least had a source material, so it's understandable that it received a lot of attention. But what the heck is "Wolf Warrior"?

They quickly realized what was happening.

The videos Qi Hui released recently were all for promoting "Wolf Warrior".
After thinking it through, the people in the industry fell silent. This operation wasn't difficult; it was very simple.

But finding those materials is just too difficult!

They all seem capable of doing that, but achieving the same effect as Qi Hui on "Wolf Warrior" is simply impossible!
……

the other side

Qi Hui learned that "Wolf Warrior" has been officially scheduled for release on April 2nd.

This isn't a peak release window; few films are released during this time, which avoids a lot of competition.

Qi Hui's film "Love is Not Blind" was originally scheduled for release during this time period.
Guo Fan's "My Deskmate" was written around this time.

Of course, that was in late April for him, while for Qi Hui and Wu Jing it was in early April.
This release window avoids many competitive factors, making it a favorite among many novice directors who can showcase their true abilities.
However... it's not entirely without competition.

Wolf Warrior has met its match, and it's a romance film that could be considered the best adaptation of the genre:
Let's Get Married

Unfortunately, this movie stars Gao Yuanyuan.
"This is the second time I've watched a romance movie with Gao Yuanyuan, isn't it?" Qi Hui looked at his phone, somewhat helplessly.

Last time, with "Brotherhood of Blades," Qi Hui also beat up the romance film "One Life, One Love."

The movie's lead actress is also Gao Yuanyuan.

This... Qi Hui was speechless; Gao Yuanyuan was just too unlucky.

He was punched twice in a row!

"Qi Hui, please have mercy!" Gao Yuanyuan sent a message, along with a crying emoji.
Qi Hui hugged Jing Tian and replied to her message in front of her: "I can't show mercy, why don't you reschedule?"

Jing Tian looked at Qi Hui and said with a grin, "Isn't that too cold-blooded? That's Gao Yuanyuan, such a beautiful girl, how could you do that to her?"

"Tch, so what if she's pretty? It has nothing to do with me," Qi Hui replied in a typical, straightforward manner.
This is actually his true thought; "Let's Get Married" isn't just about Gao Yuanyuan, it also includes Li Chen, Zheng Kai, and others.

He will show no mercy to anyone, no matter who it is.

Besides, "Wolf Warrior" involves tens of millions of yuan, and is related to Wu Jing's life and fortune.
His brother risked his life and fortune to be with him, how could he possibly mess around for a woman he had no connection with?
Am I that reckless?
……

Besides Gao Yuanyuan, there is another competitor: Liu Yifei.

Her starring film, *Outcast*, was also released during this period.
However, Qi Hui glanced at the cast list and then completely ignored it.
Besides Liu Yifei, this movie also stars Nicolas Cage.

A queen of bad movies, a king of bad movies

Qi Hui and Wu Jing both completely ignored this movie.

This thing isn't even fit to be a speed bump; I don't know what Liu Yifei was thinking.
A perfectly good hand of cards was played terribly.

If it weren't for those few TV dramas she filmed in her early years, she probably wouldn't even be a third-tier actress in mainland China.
