Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 496 Lu Chuan cried again?
Half an hour later
The entire creative team and investors of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" gathered in the conference room to discuss their next steps.

But... in the meeting room, everyone fell silent, looking at each other in silence, the atmosphere oppressive and somber.

From director Lu Chuan and producer Ling Hong to the three investors—LeEco, China Film Group, and others—everyone was heavy-hearted.

Just a few months after the Qingming Festival, they once again experienced the feeling of visiting graves.

"Everyone, let's discuss what to do next," Lu Chuan said in a deep voice.
The representatives from China Film Group and LeEco slowly raised their heads, looking at Lu Chuan with slight surprise.
Well... his voice sounded a bit off, somewhat hoarse.

His facial expression was also a bit off, and his eyes were a little red.
One of them came from the political and entertainment circles; the other had worked his way up in the business and entertainment industries.

They're all incredibly shrewd people!

Her ability to read people's expressions was meticulous, and her skill in understanding people's thoughts was superb. She easily noticed that something was wrong with Lu Chuan's expression.

Of course... it's not that easy either.

Lu Chuan's skin was a bit dark, so the unusual appearance around her eyes wasn't easy to spot. It took the two of them a couple of extra glances to notice it.

"Could it be... that Lu Chuan cried again?" The people from China Film Group and LeTV exchanged glances, feeling utterly bewildered.

He's such a grown man, yet he acts like a little kid when he encounters a little setback!
The representative from China Film Group silently took a sip of water, somewhat unsure of what to say.

Is this the second time?
When filming "Looking for a Gun", Lu Chuan reportedly cried once because of Jiang Wen.

Thinking of this, the people from China Film Group sighed, unsure of what to say.

Looking up, everyone present had their heads hanging low, like defeated generals.

Qi Hui's method was very effective. First, he spread the news, causing chaos in "Chronicles of the Nine-Story Demon Tower". Then, he seized the opportunity to take over the publicity and suppressed "Chronicles of the Nine-Story Demon Tower". Finally, he completely ignited the incident, and the original author even came forward to criticize it.

After a while, not to mention others, even the creative team behind "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" had little hope for their own film.

If even the creative team themselves have lost hope, then others are even less optimistic about the movie!
This combo doesn't torture people, but it tortures their mentality.

If it weren't for the fact that "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" had an investment of 1.2 million yuan and was of great importance, they would have wanted to give up.

……

琼省
Qi Hui and Jing Tian are choosing a house.
In recent years, with the massive infrastructure projects, houses have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in Hainan Province.

With construction booming in recent years, Qi Hui, a former civil engineer, was itching to get involved. There was nothing wrong with doing construction work, but if... cough cough, he only thought about it.

There's nothing wrong with being a slacker, but it allows the film and television industry to have a wider scope and more possibilities!

Getting back to the main point, Qi Hui and Jing Tian easily found some nice houses.
However... according to Qi Hui's plan, buying a house here was for vacationing and also for wintering.
Then we probably shouldn't go north. The cities and counties there get quite cold in winter too; you can't wear short sleeves.

You shouldn't go south either, as there are offshore cold fronts there, and it's not always warm. You should go to some of the cities in central China.
With plenty of sunshine and mountains blocking the cold wind, it's very comfortable!
Although the development isn't as good as other places, it doesn't affect the vacation.
Jing Tian disagreed and insisted on buying a house in Qiongzhou City. Qi Hui had no choice but to find a decent villa.

It's not by the sea, but the terrain is relatively high, so it's not bad.

The young heiress Jing Tian bought the property outright, signed the contract on the spot, completed all the formalities, and received the property certificate.
The apartment is fully furnished, so there are bound to be some things about the decor that don't meet your expectations, but it's perfectly fine for a vacation.

The manager forced a smile; he wasn't really happy.

They can earn more by taking out loans to buy...

After purchasing furniture and tidying up a bit, Qi Hui and Jing Tian planned to stay here for two nights.

Huayi Brothers has already made the announcement, but the offline promotion for "Mojin: The Lost Legend" hasn't officially started yet, so there's no rush.

ding dong~
Phone notification sound

Qi Hui picked it up and saw that Wu Jing had posted a photo in the group chat.

On the grassland, he and Xie Nan, in a black SUV
The scenery is beautiful.
However, this SUV looks like the one Wu Jing drove when she and Ma Li were rumored to be dating.

Guo Fan: Lao Wu, are you on vacation?

Lu Yang: "Wolf Warrior is a huge hit, so what's wrong with people enjoying themselves? Back when My Old Classmate was a huge hit, didn't you go on vacation too?"

Guo Fan: You're right, my wife and I are too. @Lu Yang Lao Lu, what about you? Did you go on vacation with your wife too?

Lu Yang: ..."

Which pot should not be opened and lifted?
Wu Jing: In Xinjiang Province, I learned for the first time that the local specialty is actually fish!

With "Wolf Warrior" finished its theatrical run and the promotional work for "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences" long over, he's now free of any worries.
When they were filming "Wolf Warrior," Xie Nan supported him wholeheartedly, giving him everything he had, and even said that if the film failed, he would support him. Of course, Wu Jing had to take Xie Nan out for some fun.

Qi Hui: Le, you've gotten quite a few mosquito bites, haven't you?

The mosquitoes on the grasslands are incredibly fierce, no less so than those on tropical islands.

He experienced this firsthand when filming "Mojin: The Lost Legend" on the grasslands.
Jing Tian's neck often had red bumps, which made his heart ache to see.
Fortunately, the weather wasn't hot at the time, otherwise I would have been even more heartbroken.

Wu Jing, who was immersed in sweetness, twitched at the corner of her mouth. Qi Hui, that bastard, was such a spoilsport!

Wu Jing: Can't you say something nice, you bastard?

Qi Hui: I'm in Hainan Province, and I'm getting bitten by mosquitoes too [helpless]

Guo Fan: Hurry back, it's time to start movie promotion.

Qi Hui: I just bought a house, I'll be back the day after tomorrow.

Lu Yang: What? You bought another house? Could it be Jing Tian who bought it again?

Lu Yang was surprised and envious, and gritted his teeth in envy.

Qi Hui is a bastard with a long criminal record!

Qi Hui: You're so smart, you've even learned to answer first!

Guo Fan: Damn it, you're living off a woman again! I despise you!

Wu Jing: I despise you too!

He's quite capable, but all he knows is how to live off a woman!

Disgusting! Disgusting!

Guo Fan and Wu Jing were so envious they almost split apart.
Qi Hui smiled wryly, holding his phone; he could imagine the expressions on the three people's faces.
……

Qi Hui killed the conversation; the rest of the group members fell silent and went offline.

Feeling somewhat bored, Qi Hui started searching for "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences".

I was so busy filming "The Vanished She" recently that I didn't pay much attention to the follow-up of the movie.

The movie grossed 68 million on its opening day and 290 million in its first week. Now, almost a month later, its total box office has reached over 500 million.

Like "Wolf Warrior," "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences" has also been delayed, but it's estimated that it won't be difficult to break 600 million.

This achievement is actually quite remarkable.
Action movie, gore, torture of the protagonist, no romance... it's safe to say that this film has all the factors that are detrimental to box office performance.

Even so, they still managed to achieve a revenue of nearly 600 million.

Qi Hui estimates that this is likely due to the lingering popularity of "Wolf Warrior".

This movie seems to have won an award, right? Or maybe it was nominated...? Qi Hui pondered, he couldn't quite remember the Hong Kong Film Awards.

However, he did remember that Wu Jing had nothing.
Poor Wu Jing, he suffered the most beatings and the worst treatment in this drama, and didn't even get an award nomination.
After watching the situation of "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences", Qi Hui clicked on Shark Live.

To his surprise, Yang Mi's live stream viewership skyrocketed. While not as high as some top streamers, it was still considered above average.

I opened her Weibo account and found three live stream notifications.

"Looks good..." Qi Hui nodded in satisfaction.

crunch~
Just then, the door opened, and Jing Tian walked in wearing a bathrobe.
She lifted her leg, stepping next to Qi Hui, looking down at him, revealing the black stockings with suspenders beneath her bathrobe.
"..."

As Qi Hui watched intently, she pulled up the strap of her dress and flicked it gently.

slap~
The bounce landed on her leg, trembling in his heart.

"What are you waiting for? Draw the curtains!"

"As ordered!"
