Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 458 The noblewoman who can make phone calls to the front-line command post

Online, the promotion of "Wolf Warrior" has been launched in full swing.
In addition to numerous media reports, at Qi Hui's suggestion, the promotion of "Wolf Warrior" also adopted a very new promotional method:

Article from WeChat Official Account!
WeChat's user base has grown rapidly in recent years, and many people have started using WeChat to chat.

The job duties and such are also being used.
Even Qi Hui frequently posts on WeChat Moments.

He even adopted the bizarre nickname "AAA Building Materials Lao Qi" (AAA Building Materials Old Qi).
Wu Jing scratched his head at the mention of this nickname.

When I open my WeChat contacts, this is the first person I see.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was some kind of civil engineering boss, it's outrageous!

On the other side of the capital

Liu Yifei slowly frowned as she scrolled through the news and information online.

[Xiao Zhuang and He Chenguang join forces to create a spectacular war feast!]

[Foreign troops invade, see how Jiang Xiaoyu repels the enemy!]

[Wolf Warrior! Qi Hui's latest military work, reprising his role as a soldier after 3 years!]

【…】

Reports flooded the platform and the screen.

Even on Weibo's trending topics, Qi Hui and "Wolf Warrior" occupied several spots.
Even Gao Yuanyuan's "Let's Get Married" has received a lot of media coverage.

But there has been no news about her film, *The Legend of the White Ghost: Outcast*.
This film has a Hollywood director, screenwriter, Hollywood actors, and even the behind-the-scenes crew are all from Hollywood.

However, the investors in this film are genuine mainland Chinese investors.

Because the film crew consisted mostly of Hollywood people and the expenses were enormous, there's now no money left to promote the movie.

They could only release the film at midnight, hoping that word-of-mouth would spread and boost box office revenue.
Liu Yifei frowned. The producers had high hopes, but Qi Hui's "Wolf Warrior" was coming on strong. Could they succeed?

At first, she had some confidence; after all, it was a Hollywood team, which was quite impressive.

But now... Qi Hui is so fierce, she suddenly lost confidence.

"Sigh..." Liu Yifei looked out the window at the bustling capital city and couldn't help but sigh.

If only she could bring in more investment.
If only I hadn't left China and gone to America back then.
They left when China was striving for progress, and instead joined a gradually declining America.

Looking back now, it would be a lie to say I don't regret it.

Huairou Film and Television Base

Zheng!
The Japanese officer, his uniform tattered and covered in black dust, drew his sword and pointed it at Qi Hui and his group of four. Liu Xiaoqing and his companions said coldly:
"こうげき(attack)!"

Japanese soldiers carrying Type 38 rifles slowly approached, an overwhelming sense of oppression washing over them.

"A huge... huge... giant rice dumpling!" Xia Yu, who played the Gold Tooth, exclaimed in surprise, his legs going weak.
The faces of Hu Bayi, played by Qi Hui, and Wang Kaixuan, played by Huang Bo, slowly revealed a ferocious expression.
Their fathers were the ones who fought to establish the country, and they had a deep-seated, blood feud with the Japanese.

Their comrades-in-arms all died at the hands of these mummified corpses; this was an old personal grudge.
It's time to settle these old scores and national grievances!

Qi Hui stomped his foot, sending the entrenching tool flying into the air and landing in his hand.
"kill!"

With a roar, the battle began.

the other side

Another Japanese soldier, Yoko, whispered, holding two short axes, still maintaining an extremely arrogant expression despite facing so many Japanese soldiers:

"Master, you must leave quickly!"

Before he could finish speaking, two Type 38 rifles came flying at him.
She took two short axes, parried a couple of blows simply, and then...

Phew!

With a bayonet piercing her body, Yoko looked on in disbelief.

Swish!
A military-green entrenching tool struck, decapitating her instantly.

Qi Hui's expression was cold, and the entrenching tool in his hand continued its downward thrust, beheading both Japanese soldiers along with them.

In an instant, all three Japanese soldiers were wiped out!

……

This scene was difficult to film; it was a large-scale battle scene, and it needed to portray the enemy as powerful and the friendly forces fighting against them.

Guo Fan kept moving people around, and the whole team was exhausted.
Qi Hui focused solely on acting and resolutely refused to touch directing.

He had already tried training the actors playing Japanese soldiers in bayonet fighting techniques. Huayi Brothers didn't want to film dramas about fighting Japanese soldiers for two reasons: firstly, they were afraid of falling into a cliché, like the anti-Japanese war dramas on various television stations.

Secondly, the filming is poor; these are all illusions. You can't exactly shoot, can you?

If you don't shoot, you have to fight with bayonets!
Training actors to perform sparring requires hiring teachers and spending money.

Therefore, Qi Hui went up.
Qi Hui's bayonet fighting skills are quite good, and he teaches well too.

After a period of training, these actors playing Japanese soldiers learned to act quite well.
In a real fight, he'd be knocked down at the slightest touch, but he's good enough for acting.

Wang Zongjun and Wang Zonglei had been there once before, and after seeing Qi Hui's bayonet fighting skills, they promptly ran away.

Old Chen, we feel at ease with you here!

Wang Zonglei also wanted to encourage Wang Zongjun to give it a try.
Aren't you a scout? Show us what you've got!

But before he could finish speaking, his older brother slapped him across the face.
Bullshit! He joined the army at sixteen, and the number of women he's slept with is more than ten times that number.

Those things were returned to the old squad leader a long time ago!

Besides, even if he had been a reconnaissance soldier back then, he might not have been able to defeat Qi Hui now.

This kid has a problem, and a really big problem!

He was covered in military gear; no one would believe he had anyone backing him up!
Who knows, maybe there's a wealthy lady who can call the frontline command center helping him.
I can't afford it, I really can't afford it!
……

A few days later

The main scenes for "Mojin: The Lost Legend" have been mostly filmed, but some shots still need to be added.

Jing Tian left the "Mojin: The Lost Legend" crew and went south to Hengdian to film "Nirvana in Fire".

There's a house there, and a little assistant to take care of her, so there's no need to worry about Jing Tian.

Besides Jing Tian, ​​Qi Hui also left.

He will be involved in the promotional work for "Wolf Warrior".
Previously, the promotion was only carried out online, but now Wu Jing has also started to promote it offline.

Various programs, interviews, various events, fan meetings
Qi Hui felt a great sense of relief, finally free from acting with Yang Tianbao. The mere thought of acting with her gave Qi Hui a terrible headache.
He made up his mind to never cooperate with Yang Tianbao again.

If other actors criticize or scold them, they will look for their own problems, start to reflect, and correct them.
Yang Tianbao is no good; the more you scold her, the worse she gets, and she becomes even worse!
Would it work if I comforted her? If I boosted her confidence, wouldn't her condition improve?
That won't work either. If you praise her a couple of times, she'll feel good about herself and start coming up with ideas on her own.
Worse!

One-track mind becomes a double-edged sword!
As Qi Hui left the "Mojin: The Lost Legend" film crew to participate in more promotional activities for "Wolf Warrior," a new trailer for "Wolf Warrior" was released.

Sniping, spraying bullets, explosions!

Fighting, battling, and overwhelming firepower!
"The People's Liberation Army will not compromise with any enemy!"

"Either lay down your weapons and surrender, or we'll kill you. Don't think you can get out of here by taking hostages!"

"Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, but they even dared to fight back?!"

Each powerful sentence, each shot, each explosion thrilled the audience.
"Great, great, great! It's been so long since I've seen a movie like this!"

"These past few years, movies have mostly been youth films or romance films. How many years has it been since we've seen so many weapons appear together?"

"The last time I watched a domestically produced war film was when the village showed 'The Great Battle'."

"Me too, but I read 'Wreath at the Foot of the Mountain'."

"Looks like I have no choice but to support this movie!"

"Holy crap! That's incredibly arrogant!"

"Not only did the enemy not surrender, but they also dared to fight back. Only Qi Hui could say that; if it were anyone else, I would have already started criticizing them!"

"Upstairs, this is what three senior colleagues said when they were printing it."

"That's right, the three of them wiped out an enemy artillery battalion!"

"Qi Hui is only fierce in the movies, but the three of them are the real fierce ones!"

"Wow! This trailer is so exciting!"

"I was even more excited. I kicked my own ox aside and plowed two miles of land myself!"

"666!"

"Bro, you're awesome!"
