Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 486 Victory Celebration Banquet (The Mekong River Case)

Qiongzhou City, Seaside Luxury Hotel
At night, the glittering hotel was brightly lit, with many guests coming and going, chatting and laughing while sipping their white coconut juice.

The situation is a bit strange. Why drink coconut juice instead of alcohol in this situation?

Um... It was Qi Hui's request; he was driving, so he wouldn't drink.
Mr. Qi is now the largest investor in the highest-grossing Chinese film, the lead actor in the 15 billion yuan box office hit "Wolf Warrior," and the screenwriter who spearheaded the creation of the most successful film in history, "Wolf Warrior."
This privilege is still available.
Besides, why drink baijiu, red wine, or champagne when you come to Hainan Province? If you want to drink something, drink coconut juice!

If you really want to drink, then drink Sanyechun wine or Haimagong wine, otherwise it's no fun!
The Wang brothers from Huayi Brothers, and Feng Xiaogang also came.
This is their Feng Xiaogang Film Commune, and they're having a celebration banquet here. How could they not come and participate?

In a way, Huayi could be considered half a host.
Bernard's Yu Dong also came, just to freeload a meal; he has plenty of excuses.
I just happened to be passing through Hong Kong Island, so I stopped by for a bit. It was on my way, and it's very close.

Forget whether it's really on the way or not, just tell me if it's close or not!

Besides Berna and Huayi, other major film and television companies such as Enlight Media, Poly Entertainment, Shanghai Media Group, and Tianyu Media also came.

Xiao Yang, holding a cup of coconut juice, chatted and laughed with these big shots... no, now she can be considered one of the big shots herself!

Xiao Yang straightened his round, thick waist and felt incredibly confident.

Meanwhile, Yu Dong approached Wang Zongjun and Feng Xiaogang.
Yu Dong and Feng Xiaogang have known each other for quite some time. When Han Sanping went against the grain to support Feng Xiaogang, Yu Dong hosted a lot of work in Feng Xiaogang's film crew.

"Military-themed films have great potential..." Yu Dong remarked.

"Unexpectedly, military-themed films, which no one had high hopes for, have achieved such box office success."

"Yes..." Wang Zongjun also sighed.

These days, the movies that can truly become huge hits are comedies, but their favorite genre is romance.

Because romance films are generally profitable, their box office results might not be exceptionally high, but they certainly won't be too bad.
What? You mean "Let's Get Married"?
That was an unexpected situation; the original script was completely altered because of Huang Haibo.

Then, oblivious to his own mortality, he went head-to-head with "Wolf Warrior." If he doesn't flop, who will?
"Large-scale movies do attract a lot of fans, and now with advanced 3D technology, they offer an immersive experience," Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.
“A few years ago, my film ‘Assembly’ was also outstanding, but this type of film is indeed difficult to make.”

"Speaking of 'Assembly,' I have a question," Yu Dong said, looking at the two men.
"Did our troops really deceive the battalion and company combat units below them, sending them to engage in blocking operations without clearly informing them of the situation?"

"This..." Feng Xiaogang's smile froze, and the usually outspoken Feng Xiaogang suddenly stopped talking.
"I've never been in the army, what do you think, Lao Feng?" Yu Dong, never one to miss an opportunity to stir things up, pressed on.
"Haha... I filmed it according to the screenwriter's script." Feng Xiaogang laughed and said, "Besides, I was an arts and culture soldier when I was in the army, how would I know about these things?"

"Old Wang, what about you?" Yu Dong loved seeing Hua Yi make a fool of herself, so he pressed Wang Zongjun for an answer.

"You were a reconnaissance soldier back then, surely you understand this too?"

Wang Zongjun was so angry he wanted to hit someone. He wanted to argue back, but he couldn't find a good reason.

Finally, he could only stiffen his neck and say, "I don't know, ask the screenwriter, he wrote the script."

Since the screenwriter isn't here, it doesn't matter what we say.

"Qi Hui is the screenwriter of Wolf Warrior, so why doesn't he have the same problems as you guys?" Yu Dong laughed and said.
"Yu Donggua, what are you trying to do?" Wang Zongjun was immediately displeased.

"You old bastard, who are you calling names?" Yu Dong glared and snapped.
"Oh? Mr. Wang, Mr. Yu, you seem to be having a pleasant chat?"

Wang Zongjun and Yu Dong turned their heads at the same time, glaring angrily. "Are you blind? You call this being happy?"
But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qi Hui and Jing Tian, ​​with Wu Jing also present.

Seeing this, Jing Tian told Qi Hui to go find Xiao Yang and then left.

"Hahaha... So it's Qi Hui!" Yu Dong laughed heartily, his laughter incredibly cheerful.

"We were talking about Director Feng's movie 'Assembly,' which also tells the story of the People's Liberation Army. Like 'Wolf Warrior,' it's a benchmark for military-themed films!"

"Ha..." Qi Hui scoffed. "A rallying cry? It's not worthy of the name."
This film can't even be described as having its own agenda smuggled in; it's more accurate to say it's deliberately smearing others.

Feng Xiaogang looked very uncomfortable. He said he saw an acquaintance and quickly left.

Despite his nickname "Feng the Cannon," he doesn't actually fire his own tantrums at the slightest provocation. He's quite shrewd; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten involved with those privileged kids from high-ranking families.

If he were truly that temperamental and principled, Feng Xiaogang wouldn't have remained unmoved for years after Ye Jing called him "Feng the Pants."

He knew perfectly well who he could mess with and who he couldn't.

Qi Hui is incredibly powerful right now, why would he want to cause trouble for Qi Hui?
Besides, Qi Hui is even more of a braggart than him.

In previous years, he fiercely criticized Teng Huatao, bluntly calling Teng Huatao a "manure-producing machine."
But Teng Huatao proved with his actions that he was trash.

Some time ago, Qi Hui even publicly berated Lu Chuan, calling her dog shit.
Besides, even disregarding all that, he still had to consider his old legs.
He didn't practice martial arts for as long as Donnie Yen, so his physical condition isn't as good.

Watching Feng Xiaogang leave, Wang Zongjun's previously somewhat unnatural expression suddenly shifted, a hint of unease creeping into his eyes...

Is Yu Donggua deliberately trying to provoke us?

He immediately decided to stay and see what Yu Donggua was up to.

Yu Dong also noticed something was wrong. No matter what he said, Wang Zongjun wouldn't budge, as if his feet were stuck to glue.
I hate it no matter how I look at it!

"Ahem... Qi Hui, we've put together a play, adapted from the Mekong River case from a few years ago," Yu Dong said with a smile.
Are you interested in playing the lead role?

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Qi Hui immediately became interested.
The Mekong River case, judging by the timeline, means it's almost time for the filming of "Operation Mekong" to begin.

"Haha, I knew you'd be interested." Yu Dong took a sip of coconut juice; the rich coconut aroma put him in a good mood.
Wang Zongjun sneered, "Fool!"

Yu Donggua, being so unsophisticated, probably has no idea how high Qi Hui's standards are for scripts.
Huayi provided so many scripts, but Qi Hui only wanted one or two.
Even "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was completely altered by Qi Hui.
Do you really think Qi Hui is the kind of actor who can be bossed around by you?

This kid is a real pain, and incredibly arrogant!

"President Yu," Qi Hui said with a smile, "we'll take a look at the script and discuss it together then."

"No problem." Yu Dong laughed heartily: "How about Wu Jing comes along too?"

"We had a good collaboration on 'SPL 2', let's continue to work together."

"Haha...haha..." Wu Jing chuckled dryly.

What a load of rubbish!

He was kicked more than 500 times, and he almost got a concussion!
Also, this script is adapted from the Mekong River Massacre, so will it be filmed in Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia again?
Grass!
Wu Jing cursed inwardly, but said nothing on the surface, deciding to wait and see what happened, since Qi Hui was there anyway!
Wang Zongjun's eyes lit up, and he decided to fan the flames and stir things up.

So he asked, "Mr. Yu, has the director for this movie been decided yet?"

"Haha, I think we should use Wu Jing. He's a big director with 1.5 billion yuan in box office revenue. Who else would we use if not him?"

Yu Dong waved his hand: "We already have a director in mind, a big director from Hong Kong."

"Oh... really?" Qi Hui raised an eyebrow. He had almost forgotten that the director of this movie was actually from Hong Kong.

Many of the actors are from Hong Kong Island.

It wasn't that he harbored any resentment towards Hong Kong Island; it was just that the people there were somewhat difficult to get along with.

Wang Zongjun wondered to himself whether his attempt to incite trouble had succeeded; he couldn't discern Qi Hui's emotions.

Qi Hui's troublesome nature cannot be dealt with by him alone. If Yu Dong thinks so, he can also give it a try!
However... the thought of Qi Hui's disobedience and reckless behavior in "The Lost Tomb" made him feel uneasy.

If only they were more obedient… Wang Zongjun slurped down a mouthful of coconut juice in frustration.
