Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 477 Teacher Gao, you should address me by my title when you're working!

“10 billion…it really is 10 billion…” Gao Yuanyuan looked at the message on her phone and slowly took a breath.

A box office of one billion is the exclusive domain of big-name directors or big-budget productions!
Only renowned directors like Xu Zheng, Stephen Chow, and Ning Hao can receive this honor, and all of them are comedians.

Qi Hui is not inferior to these others, but "Wolf Warrior" is a niche military-themed film. It is truly astonishing that it can achieve the same success as a comedy, a very popular genre!

Gao Yuanyuan covered her face as she recalled how Li Chen had recklessly tried to go head-to-head with "Wolf Warrior" some time ago.

Looking back now, she feels ashamed for Li Chen and Liu Jiang. How could they be so ignorant and arrogant?
A box office of one billion yuan is the absolute pinnacle of Chinese-language films, a figure that commands respect and admiration.

Qi Hui and Wu Jing can now look down on the entertainment industry!
As for anything beyond that... that's the exclusive domain of Hollywood blockbusters!
Reaching 2 billion yuan at the box office is a privilege reserved for Hollywood blockbusters; domestic films simply don't have that capability.

Gao Yuanyuan's mood shifted, her thoughts swirling, but she was thankful that she and Qi Hui still had a fairly good relationship.

The relationship did not deteriorate due to the competition between the two films.

……

Bernard!

High-rise conference room.

Yu Dong and several vice presidents were secretly shocked when they saw that "Wolf Warrior" had grossed 1 billion yuan at the box office.

They knew Qi Hui was powerful, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.
Not only Qi Hui, but also Wu Jing
“Wu Jing has become a huge star…” said a vice president with a Hong Kong accent, no longer mentioning the mainland guy who played a supporting role.

Capitalist societies have flexible boundaries; one moment you might be a minor mainland Chinese actor playing a supporting role, the next you could be a blockbuster director with billions in box office revenue.

This isn't a case of being arrogant at first and then obsequious; it's simply the flexible adaptability of their developed capitalist society.
"That's impressive, but I heard Huayi didn't gain any advantage at all." Another vice president chuckled.
"Qi Hui once told Wang Zongjun about this movie, but Wang Zongjun ignored it."

"Is that so... Hahahaha!" Yu Dong laughed heartily, in high spirits.
It doesn't matter that he didn't gain anything from "Wolf Warrior," after all, Berna wasn't very familiar with Qi Hui before.
But it would be very interesting if Wang Zongjun didn't gain any advantage from "Wolf Warrior"!

Every time we met during this period, that old bastard would boast about how great Qi Hui was; anyone who didn't know better would think Qi Hui was his son!

You old bastard!
Now that's settled, are you still going to brag or not?

He had to ask about this in person; he loved seeing those two old bastards suffer!

Yu Dong's laughter was infectious, and everyone in the meeting room couldn't help but burst into laughter as well.

They love seeing Huayi get humiliated!

for a while
Yu Dong tapped on the table, bringing the meeting back to the main topic.

The meeting wasn't just to mock Hua Yi, nor was it to marvel at Qi Hui and Wu Jing's achievements.

We're here to discuss a new project!

"The success of 'Wolf Warrior' demonstrates the market potential of military-themed films and shows that audiences still really enjoy large-scale scenes and explosions," Yu Dong said slowly, taking a sip of tea.

"Taking advantage of this favorable trend, let's also test the waters with a military-themed movie."

"Everyone, let's summarize the factors that led to the success of 'Wolf Warrior' and then determine the direction of the new project."

After the boss spoke, the vice presidents remained silent for a moment, then immediately began to speak freely.
"Mr. Yu, I think the success of Wolf Warrior, besides the numerous explosion scenes, is primarily due to its patriotic spirit. In the past, these were all boring old movies, but now, packaged in a new form, they can bring a different feeling..."

"I think so too, but I have something to add. Besides patriotism, it can't be like Hollywood movies that focus on individual heroism. The protagonist of 'Wolf Warrior' may seem like Qi Hui, but in reality, every character is excellent. The real protagonists are the People's Liberation Army soldiers in the film..."

"Mr. Yu, I also have an idea, targeting foreigners would also count..."

Soon, everyone in the meeting room was speaking freely, and everyone had something to say.
Before we knew it, the new project was quickly taking shape: adapting the major case on the Mekong River!
This matter is inherently patriotic, and like "Wolf Warrior," it also has the foundation of a TV series.

Wolf Warrior has the 'I Am a Special Forces Soldier' ​​series as its foundation.

Last year, the TV series "Mekong River Case" also premiered, achieving decent ratings and reviews, making it very suitable for adaptation.
"What about the director and actors?" a vice president asked. "Should we continue to look for Qi Hui and Wu Jing?"

These two have just achieved such success, so it's natural that people would subconsciously want to win them over.

"I think it's possible. With Wolf Warrior as a shining example, our project will surely follow in its footsteps and surpass it!"

"Idiot, that's 'the pearl comes first, the fish eye follows,' describing someone passing off inferior goods as superior ones, or someone who's just pretending to be something they're not!" "Cultural workers not only need to be cultured, but also need to keep up with the times! 'The pearl comes first' comes from the *Book of Jin*, Biography of Wei Jie, while 'carrying a jade ornament' comes from the *Zuo Zhuan*. This phrase is modern Chinese, a formal adaptation of your previous statement!"

"You idiot, who are you calling a bastard?"

"I'm insulting you. Learn more history, stop reading that foreign trash and becoming arrogant and stuck in your ways!"

"..."

Several people were arguing noisily, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere, a scene of everything flourishing.

Yu Dong didn't let them stop, letting them do their thing.

As the argument went on, new ideas emerged.
……

"It really is a billion..." Yang Mi couldn't help but exclaim.

This isn't the final box office figure yet. "Wolf Warrior" has been extended its run for another month, so there will still be box office revenue for the next month.

It's at least 1.2 to 1.3 billion!
Moreover, Qi Hui took a full half of the share, making a fortune!
Yang Mi was filled with envy. If she could achieve such results, would she still need to worry about the betting agreement?
"I wonder if 'The Vanished' can also gross 1 billion..." Yang Mi muttered to herself. If it could reach 1 billion, then she wouldn't have to worry about the performance-based agreement.
Thinking of this, she immediately got up and walked outside.

To boost box office sales, she went all out; it's just a live stream, right?
播！
When Qi Hui first started making web series, nobody was optimistic about it.

But his "The Beginning" completely changed everyone's opinion.

Currently, the online drama market is booming, with numerous online dramas such as "The Great Hero Lu Xiaoyu," "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," and "Unexpectedly" emerging in rapid succession.

The drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" greatly boosted the fame of Chen Yao, who was under Qi Hui's management.

"Unexpectedly" has already been registered and approved as a project, and film production has begun.
"Live streaming... might just have the same success as web dramas!" Yang Mi suddenly made up her mind.

She went all out for the billion-dollar box office of "The Vanished"!

"Xiao Zhu..." Yang Mi approached a newcomer.

"Hello, Sister Mi!" Zhu Xudan greeted her quickly. Yang Mi was the top female employee in the company.

Also the company's boss
"Do you like playing video games..." Yang Mi asked with a smile, looking just like the wolf in sheep's clothing who tricked Little Red Riding Hood.
Zhu Xudan: "Uh...?"

……

Raffles Hotel

Inside the room, numerous crew members were busy preparing to film a bed scene.

Hmm... the bed scene between Qi Hui and Gao Yuanyuan
Gao Yuanyuan was putting on makeup when Qi Hui asked her to choose a loose-fitting long nightgown.
Not showing off figure, not showing thighs

She needs to project the familiarity of a wife, conveying a sense of home.
Unlike the original Janice Man, she can't sleep with her "husband" while wearing a red evening gown.

"Qi Hui, I'm ready, we can start anytime." Gao Yuanyuan smiled sweetly.

Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a light green silk nightgown.

A quiet, elegant, gentle, young and beautiful woman, a tender and lovely wife.

Qi Hui took a step back, his face stern, and said, "How many times have I told you?"

"Teacher Gao, you should address people by their titles when you're working!"

"Oh." Gao Yuanyuan tilted her head and smiled, "Then...husband?"

"..." Qi Hui's eyelids twitched, and his expression became even more solemn!

Gao Yuanyuan shrank back, a little scared.

Wu Jing shook her head. Qi Hui, that rough man, was really too clueless about romance. He would scare Gao Yuanyuan away!
"Come on, everyone get ready to start filming!" Wu Jing clapped his hands and shouted.
