Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 494 Is that older sister angry? That older sister is terrifying!
Qi Hui didn't take the phone; instead, he handed it to Jing Tian, ​​then twisted the throttle and rode his bike towards the hotel.

Jing Tian didn't like this place and decided to leave first.
Back on the main road, Jing Tian relaxed a lot, but her phone kept ringing, which was a bit annoying.

She pursed her lips and said, "Honey, I've answered the phone."

"Okay." Qi Hui glanced down and nodded.

Jing Tian swiped her phone and then held it to Qi Hui's ear.

"Little brother, it's a bit hard to get through to you on the phone," Gan Wei's voice came through the line.
"I was riding my bike, just got back from fishing," Qi Hui said. "Sister Gan, is there anything I can help you with?"

Let's get straight to the point and strike first!

On the other end of the phone, Gan Wei was stunned for a moment.
She called, naturally, to inquire about the follow-up to "Mojin: The Lost Legend".
Today, she went to the "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" site for a meeting, and the situation is not looking good.

No matter who you are, legal troubles are a real hassle, especially for businessmen like them.

After discussion, their conclusion remained unchanged: on the one hand, they would negotiate with the original author, Zhang Muye, to provide compensation where appropriate and to issue an apology where necessary.
Try to resolve this privately!
On the other hand, try to delay the lawsuit and delay the judgment.

If possible, delay until the film's run ends.
Finally, we will continue to increase publicity efforts to prepare for the film's release.
The expected box office of 1 billion yuan is hopeless; the target has been lowered, and the company has gone from making a huge profit to just breaking even.

The film had a total investment of 120 million yuan, and LeTV spent an additional 15 million yuan on promotion.

LeEco is indeed a large and powerful company, but such a large sum of money is not something that can be easily taken lightly.

Originally, she called hoping to get some information from Qi Hui.

It would be best to get definite information, but if not, finding even the slightest clue is good.
But unexpectedly... Qi Hui actually went fishing?

Wasn't he preparing for the promotional work of "Mojin: The Lost Legend"?
Isn't that too casual?
Gan Wei quickly composed herself and immediately laughed, "Haha, it's been so long since I've seen you, little brother!"

"Li Xiaolu's birthday is coming up soon, and we're planning to have a banquet. Friends from the industry will all be there. Little brother, how about you come too?"

Jing Tian frowned, feeling displeased.

Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, a thought flashing through his mind.

If I remember correctly, Gan Wei was at a birthday party, pitching investments to numerous celebrities in the industry.

LeEco has been doing very well in the past two years.

As the world's first video website to go public via IPO, and the first video company to list on the A-share market in China, LeEco has garnered significant attention and investment.

LeEco is also thriving and full of vitality.

In this situation, Gan Wei, who was the wife of LeEco's boss, an entertainment star, and a TV drama producer, easily obtained funds from Liu Tao, Huang Xiaoming, Jia Nailiang, Li Xiaolu, and others.

First, use her identity as the "LeEco boss's wife" to increase credibility, then use her "insider" relationship to lower suspicion.
Add to that LeEco's situation, and who wouldn't be confused?
But who could have imagined that LeEco would collapse in just one or two years, its cash flow would dry up, and Jia Yueting would flee to the United States, leaving behind a debt of 60 billion yuan.
Liu Tao, Jia Nailiang and her husband, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Sun Honglei, Wang Baoqiang, and others all suffered considerable losses.

The worst off was Liu Tao. She had only invested 20 million, but Gan Wei persuaded her to add another 40 million.

Not long after, the debts she had finally managed to pay off reappeared, plunging her back to square one.

The only survivor was Guo Degang, who initially invested ten million yuan, but later became worried about the risks and withdrew his investment not long after.

Luckily, I escaped a disaster.

After that, Gan Wei gradually disappeared from the entertainment industry.

The Teddy Sisters group is no longer mentioned; it has become an ancient memory.

"It depends," Qi Hui laughed and said, "I'm a bit busy, I might not have time."

He wasn't making excuses; he was telling the truth.
The script for "Si Teng" is finished, and while Xiao Yang is submitting it for review, preliminary preparations have already begun.

Jing Tian also hired a fashion designer to begin designing and making cheongsams.

It needs to suit Jing Tian's figure, match Si Teng's temperament, and also incorporate relevant elements from the drama series.

Gan Wei chuckled: "Really? That's right, you're quite the celebrity..."

Jing Tian rolled her eyes, she couldn't take it anymore. She was riding a bike, it was too dangerous.

Her eyes immediately lit up, and she asked softly, "Brother Qi, is riding your bike tiring?"

"Uh...it's alright." Qi Hui paused for a moment. "You were riding your little electric scooter with me on the back. The lady on the phone won't be angry, will she?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was picked up.
A soft, gentle, sweet voice traveled clearly into the microphone:

"That lady was terrifying..."

On the other end of the phone, Gan Wei felt awkward and was about to say something to ease the tension.

But Qi Hui laughed and said, "Sister Gan, I have something to do, I'll hang up now."

Before Gan Wei could react, Qi Hui hung up the phone.

Gan Wei tossed the phone in frustration. She hadn't found out anything about "Mojin: The Lost Legend" yet!

Immediately, anger rose in his heart. Who was that woman?
She has a strong green tea vibe, which makes me so angry that I want to tear her mouth apart!

What she hated most in her life was this kind of pretentious and shameless woman!

hateful!

……

Hainan Province
On the coconut grove road, Jing Tian put down the phone and gave a smug hum.

I already told you I had something to do, but you keep nagging on and on.

Shameless old woman!
"How did I do?" Jing Tian gently touched Qi Hui's face and asked proudly.

"Great!" Qi Hui laughed heartily. This was excellent; when encountering difficult women again, Jing Tian could handle it.
She has accumulated a wealth of experience with Yang Mi and can handle these things with ease.

……

The electric scooter wobbled along, and Qi Hui didn't rush back to the hotel. Instead, he went to the restaurant in Shadi Village.

That is, the place where he acted with Gao Yuanyuan, who played the fake Li Muzi, not long ago.

That was originally a restaurant, with a beach, bonfire, and delicious food, attracting many tourists to come and experience it.

This is also why the assistant director was a little anxious that night.
Getting this restaurant to cooperate in a performance isn't just about spending money; the tourist experience also needs to be considered.

If a few hot-tempered tourists cause trouble, it will negatively impact the restaurant and also be a problem for the film crew.

Hand the fish to the waiter and ask them to prepare it.

Pan-fried sea bream, braised pomfret, and then grilled squid after it's been prepared.

Upon seeing Qi Hui and Jing Tian, ​​the waiter was both surprised and incredulous.
She wasn't just a fisherman focused solely on fishing; of course she knew about Qi Hui and Jing Tian.
It's not just because of their fame, but also because of the filming they did recently.
This matter has always been a topic of conversation in their store.
If the movie becomes a hit, their store might become a hit too!

This is something to look forward to!
Immediately, he struggled to carry the fish and hurried to the kitchen.

The catch of about ten pounds of fish was a bit of a struggle for the thin waiter.
That means the squid had run out of ink, otherwise, given her somewhat reckless actions, she probably would have been sprayed with ink.

Soon, the prepared squid was served, and Jing Tian and Qi Hui began grilling it.
Each table is equipped with a charcoal grill.
Place it in the oven, brush it with oil and seasoning, and wait until the squid curls up slightly and releases a fragrant aroma. Jing Tian picks up the squid and takes a small bite.

"Mmm...it's delicious!"

Squid that you catch yourself are always delicious!

"Oh no, I'm going to get fat..." the girl complained as she put squid on the charcoal stove.
"It's good to be a little chubby, it's better to be a bit fleshy." Qi Hui laughed, "I don't like Yang Mi's skinny appearance at all."

Actually, Jing Tian isn't fat now. In order to play Shen Man/Chen Mai, she started to consciously control her weight last year when she played Shirley Yang.

Her originally round and sweet face has become slightly longer and more angular.
It fits the role, but it doesn't have the same feeling as before.

This is not possible!

"Hehe... Hey, I wonder how Yang Mi's live stream is going?" Jing Tian suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise.

"We'll see when we have a chance. Let's eat first," Qi Hui said immediately.

Yang Mi's live stream is a minor matter; Jing Tian being well-fed is the real priority.
