Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 478 Jing Tian: Why didn't you answer my call?

Hotels
On the bed in the room, He Fei, played by Qi Hui, slowly woke up.

He slept well because a Chinese-American police officer told him he would help find his missing wife.

But he wasn't happy. As soon as he woke up, his worries about his wife, along with his clear mind, surged from his memories.

He raised his hand and rubbed his face, then put it down in frustration.

The camera followed the wedding ring on his finger as his hand fell.

On the bed, there's not just one person, but another hand, another person!

He Fei shuddered, startled; upon discovering it was a woman, he was even more incredulous, and then drew back the curtains.

Accompanied by the blinding "morning light," I saw this unfamiliar woman.

"Hmm... let me sleep a little longer, draw the curtains..."

The woman turned over, wrapped herself in the thin blanket.

"Wake up, who are you?" He Fei shouted to wake the woman. In the morning light, he put on a shirt to cover his bare upper body.

"What are you doing, honey?" the woman said lazily, her sweet voice evoking pity and a secret resentment towards Qi Hui's rudeness.

"You know me?" He Fei, played by Qi Hui, was secretly startled and puzzled.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have run away from home." The woman rubbed her eyes, still sleepy.
"I apologize, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

As she spoke, she reached out and wrapped her arms around He Fei's neck, acting as if she were being affectionate.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" He Fei pushed the woman away, resisting and angry.
"I don't even know you!"

The woman stopped talking, put her hands on her hips, looked at He Fei, and puffed out her cheeks in anger.

Looking at the strange woman who treated this place as her own home, He Fei slowly calmed down and asked in a deep voice:
"who are you?"

The woman crossed her arms, her face flushed with a hint of anger. On the ring finger of her left hand was a wedding ring identical to He Fei's.

"What do you say?"

"..."

Why not remain silent for a moment?

"Very good, pass!" Wu Jing shouted.

The script supervisor claps the clapperboard, signaling the end of filming for this scene.

The lighting technician turned off the "morning light," and everyone packed up their things. It was evening now, after a long day of work.

Qi Hui turned around, quickly put on his clothes, and called the crew members to pack up the equipment and organize the props.

……

dinner
As soon as Qi Hui turned on his phone, a bunch of messages popped up!
Not long after "Wolf Warrior" surpassed 1 billion yuan at the box office, many investors who had previously only exchanged phone numbers, various directors of companies in the industry, and even some actresses they were unfamiliar with started calling in droves.

It never stopped.

His phone was ringing hotter than a gun barrel!

But Qi Hui was filming, so he simply turned off his phone and got rid of it all.

This wasn't the first time Qi Hui had encountered something like this, and he was quite experienced in dealing with it.

It will calm down in time!
Now that so much time has passed, my phone has finally quieted down considerably, with only a few scattered congratulatory messages, which I don't need to pay attention to.

Qi Hui handled each case one by one, providing official responses in a manner that was as usual, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wu Jing was in a bit of a flurry of activity; his phone was ringing off the hook as the first-day and first-week box office figures came out.

But this time, breaking one billion was even more enthusiastic than the previous two times!
Wu Jing was busy returning phone calls and replying to various messages, and you could occasionally hear him speaking Cantonese.

"..."

Lu Yang: Old Wu is really amazing, he's made a complete comeback this time!

Guo Fan: It's great that he's become popular again. I grew up watching his TV dramas, it feels like an old friend has returned.

"Hahaha, how mean you are!" Qi Hui laughed heartily: "I'm the youngest, and I've never said that!"

Guo Fan: To be honest.

Lu Yang: With the film's run delayed by a month, we don't know how much the box office will increase.

Guo Fan: I don't think the momentum will be as strong anymore, Hollywood blockbusters are coming!

Guo Fan was referring to "Furious 7," a film whose popularity skyrocketed due to Paul Walker's tragic death and the studio's aggressive marketing campaign surrounding it, both on both sides of the Pacific.

In fact, the idea of ​​this movie entering the mainland market has been around for a long time.

However, "Wolf Warrior" initially had a good momentum, and China Film Group gave it a lot of screenings.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the producers of "Furious 7" postponed the release date until a few days ago.

That's roughly how it is when kings don't meet!
But once it was released, the power of the "death marketing" combined with the Hollywood blockbuster effect was demonstrated, and the box office exceeded 300 million yuan on the first day.

It's even more intense than "Wolf Warrior"!
Many people went to the cinema with the thought that they owed Paul Walker a movie ticket before his death.

Fast & Furious 7 is of good quality, and the nostalgia factor makes it feel even better.

There are already quite a few voices online criticizing "Wolf Warrior" and praising "Fast & Furious 7"!
Those public intellectuals who weren't killed back then are starting to resurface!
However, under these circumstances, Yang Mi's starring drama "My Sunshine" was still released.

Despite being sandwiched between "Wolf Warrior" and "Furious 7", "My Sunshine" grossed 30 million yuan on its opening day.

It's alright, not too bad!

It's at least better than "Let's Get Married" starring Gao Yuanyuan and "The Legend of White Ghost: Deadly Escape" starring Liu Yifei!
"How is the Dragon Seeking Technique progressing?" Qi Hui asked.

Guo Fan: Post-production is still in progress, and I'm currently on my weekends off.

Huayi Brothers are pushing Qi Hui like crazy, trying to capitalize on his popularity from "Wolf Warrior" to make more money.

Guo Fan initially listened to Huayi and sped up the process.

But as I kept adding more, I realized something was wrong.

Due to time constraints, the special effects were poorly made and there were many errors in the editing!
If this continues, the movie is afraid it will completely fall apart!
He immediately summoned Chen Guofu and Wang Zonglei and told them that he could no longer rush the process and that he needed to refine it carefully.

If you keep rushing the schedule, you should just replace the director!

Chen Guofu agreed with this, and he also did not want to rush the process.

But Wang Zonglei felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

At this point, even if they really wanted to change directors, I'm afraid no other director would be willing to take the job!
Guo Fan used this as leverage, and with Chen Guofu pleading and offering a way out, Wang Zonglei had no choice but to swallow his anger and agree to Guo Fan's demands.

He secretly made up his mind that he would never use Guo Fan as a director again.

They're so damn disobedient!

Qi Hui stared at his phone, initially not quite understanding what was happening.

I thought that bastard Guo was having a tough time!

But upon closer inspection, it's a two-day weekend?

Damn it... this bastard is working as a civil servant at Huayi, clocking in and out every day?

Lu Yang: You're just being hypocritical, aren't you?

Lu Yang also realized that Lao Guo was a cunning and wicked bastard!

Guo Fan: I'm afraid I'm working very hard too, okay? At the current pace, it shouldn't be a problem to schedule it for the summer season.

"That's already very fast!"

Qi Hui did a quick calculation and realized that if "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was scheduled for the summer season, then the promotional period... damn it, it would also overshadow "The Vanished".

Qi Hui was immediately annoyed, as this would also have some impact on "The Vanished She".

Wu Jing: You guys, you're talking bad about me while I'm away, aren't you?

Wu Jing was angry. "Am I that old?"

Did you grow up watching my TV dramas?

Guo Fan: Hey, Brother Jing!

Lu Yang: Hey, Master Jing!

Wu Jing: You are the real Master Jing, you come from a high-ranking family.

Old Lu's dad is the head of a department at the Central Academy of Drama, he's incredibly powerful!
Qi Hui watched these people teasing each other and couldn't help but laugh. He was just about to add a few words himself.
But then, a message I had been following popped up on my phone:
[Jing Tian: Why is your phone off? Why aren't you answering my calls?]

Qi Hui: “…”

broken!
