Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 498 I play the male lead in "The Great Wall"?
Villa, study!
Qi Hui stared at the two monitors, scrolling through the pages and occasionally typing.

He's developing a filming plan for "Sito"... Of course, he'll start by creating an outline.

The remaining details are under discussion and supplementation.

Led by the assistant director, the location scouting team went to Yunnan Province to scout locations, and the related reports they sent back satisfied Qi Hui.

Very good, very suitable for filming "Sito".

There's also good news from Xiao Yang's side: the story and filming locations for "Si Teng" have attracted the interest of the Yunnan Provincial Film Group.

After learning more about Yixin, my interest grew even stronger.

They are state-owned enterprises, and although they have adopted market-oriented operations, they still bear corresponding responsibilities.

The relationship between them and the higher-level government departments is one of industry regulation, policy guidance, and related support.

They will still do cultural and tourism promotion if given the opportunity!
The collaboration between Hainan Province and Qi Hui on the filming of "The Vanished She" some time ago was the envy of other industry peers.

If "The Vanished She" becomes a hit, it will give cultural tourism another point of promotion.

Therefore, our opportunity has arrived in Yunnan Province!
After discussion, Yunnan Provincial Film Group decided to invest 30 million yuan.
As for other related support and policies, I believe they will be available once they contact them.
Qi Hui did not refuse, and the two parties quickly signed the contract.
The filming locations for "Si Teng" in Yunnan Province were mostly national parks and parts of primeval forests—places with inconvenient transportation. With such a large crew, the expenses for food, supplies, and equipment were undoubtedly enormous.
Add to that Jing Tian's custom-made cheongsams and numerous special effects shots... the required budget for "Si Teng" is at least over 100 million yuan.
He currently has ample cash flow, and it wouldn't be out of the question for him to operate entirely as a sole proprietor, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

The purpose of sole proprietorship is to avoid being restricted, but Qi Hui is now the only one who can make decisions on filming, so who dares to restrict him?
Besides Yunnan Film Group, Qi Hui also plans to ask Noon Sunshine Film Group if they are interested in investing.

I also own shares there, and the annual dividends are quite good.

It was good for Qi Hui that things were getting better at noon.

……

"Ah~~" Qi Hui stretched and lay half-reclined on the ergonomic chair like a salted fish.
Working at a desk can be really tiring sometimes.

I subconsciously picked up my phone to relax, intending to check the news or something.
When I picked it up to check, I found a notification from Shark Live that Yang Mi had started a live stream.

Qi Hui clicked in to see how Yang Mi's live stream was going.

The screen changed, and Yang Mi's live stream room quickly appeared.

In the bottom left corner is Yang Mi wearing headphones and frantically typing on the keyboard, with some subtitles above her saying things like "Don't send gifts."

The remaining majority of the screen was filled with game footage, showing Yang Mi in the heat of battle.

However, Qi Hui heard a familiar face in the voices from his teammates' channel: Yuan Shanshan!
She teamed up with Yang Mi to play games.

The comments on the screen confirmed Qi Hui's guess.

"Hmm?" Qi Hui was somewhat surprised. He hadn't paid much attention to Yuan Shanshan usually, and his only impression of her was from last year or sometime when she acted in a Qing Dynasty drama with Lu Yi.
The Palace: The Lost Daughter series.

However, this TV series was produced by Yu Zheng and is suspected of plagiarism; it will probably be taken down soon.

At this time... if I remember correctly, "Jianbing Man" should be coming soon.

Qi Hui searched and found that "Jianbing Man" had indeed finished filming and was doing some basic promotional work, but there was no news of its release.

“Strange…” Qi Hui shrugged, not paying much attention.

This movie actually has quite a few problems, but the box office of over 1 billion yuan made Da Peng extremely happy.

But the more enjoyable "Jianbing Man" was, the more painful "Sewing Machine Band" became.

Every gift destined by fate has its price already secretly marked.

Nothing comes without a price.

"Oh? You're asking me why I'm streaming?" On the screen, Yang Mi put down her keyboard and began answering questions from her viewers.
After the game ended, she could chat and relax.

"Actually, I didn't initially plan to do a live stream," Yang Mi said with a smile.
"It was a friend's suggestion. I tried it and it was pretty good. I enjoyed chatting with you guys."

"But please don't send me any more gifts, I'm not a real streamer."

It's quite easy to chat with anyone, at least much easier than chatting with people in the industry or some company executives.

The only downside is that these viewers have a bad habit of using strange names to tip.
Strange names like "turkey-flavored rice crackers" and "milky pink rice crackers"
Damn it, it's all because of that milky-white Yukiko who started this bad trend!

In fact, she completely ignored some even worse IDs, those that were outrageous and excessive, and she also disregarded any gifts sent to her.
In addition, she had the company set up a small team to return the gifts and other items through various means.

To be honest, she would have preferred that Shark provide a refund channel. But after speaking with their staff for a bit, they didn't respond much.

This is Yang Mi now. If she gets used to being a boss in a few years, she probably won't be so polite anymore.
Years later, Yang Mi's lack of cooperation and arrogance during a live stream earned her a lot of ridicule and caused many fans to turn against her.

on the screen

With time running out, Yang Mi started another game.

Qi Hui opened Weibo and browsed Yang Mi's Weibo posts.
In the comments below, very few people are talking about celebrities losing their status through live streaming anymore.

With the widespread adoption of 4G networks and the decrease in data tariffs, many users have started using mobile data to watch videos.

Many unlimited data plans and unlimited data plans started appearing this year.
Of course, that's a fake unlimited plan; there are all sorts of speed limits, data limits, and conditions that could cause your internet to disconnect.

The reduction in data charges has ushered users into the early days of internet video.

This also led to the widespread circulation of live stream clips and similar videos.

As the first major celebrity in the entertainment industry to do a live broadcast, Yang Mi's popularity has risen once again.

This gave her many advantages at work. The betting agreement that netted her 300 million was no longer a heavy burden on her shoulders.

Yang Mi has also changed from her initial resistance to her current acceptance.

If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Shanshan is probably also thinking of trying live streaming.

Qi Hui stroked his chin. It was about time; he should start his live stream.

Once "Mojin: The Lost Legend" is released, the promotional tour ends, post-production on "The Vanished Woman" is completed, and pre-production for "Rattan" is finished, and the filming schedule is finalized...

Qi Hui: “…”

Damn, do I have so many things to do?
Qi Hui scratched his head, suddenly realizing that making time for live streaming wasn't as simple as it seemed to him.

Da Da Da~
Just then, the sound of high heels came from outside the study.
Qi Hui's thoughts were interrupted. He looked up and saw that it was Jing Tian.

She wore a white cheongsam made of delicate silk, adorned with ink bamboo patterns, giving it an elegant and serene look.

A black cloud-patterned shawl was draped over her shoulders, exuding elegance, grace, and nobility.

Her graceful steps and elegant demeanor are truly remarkable.

Jing Tian, ​​she looks so good in a cheongsam!
The only pity is that she doesn't have long hair now, otherwise it would be even better!
"Is it pretty?" Jing Tian smiled gently and slowly sat down on Qi Hui's lap.
"Mmm!" Qi Hui nodded firmly, reaching out to wrap his arms around her slender waist.
The cheongsam really accentuates my figure.

Wonderful!

"Hehe~" Jing Tian smiled smugly, her previous dignified elegance vanishing instantly, replaced by playfulness and liveliness.

"Are the cheongsams all finished?" Qi Hui asked, as this was related to "Si Teng".

“Uh… only a third,” Jing Tian said, slightly hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Qi Hui asked, puzzled.

"Um... darling," Jing Tian said, leaning on Qi Hui's shoulder, "the agency found me a good movie..."

Qi Hui: “…”

This is not good!

"It's a special effects blockbuster. Besides me, there are Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, as well as Hollywood stars in the cast," Jing Tian continued.

"Look, big director, big names, big stars, and big production."

"Anyway, Si Teng hasn't started yet, so why don't we stop for a bit?"

"...What movie? Who's the director?" Qi Hui's eye twitched.

"The director is Zhang Yimou, and the film is called 'The Great Wall'," Jing Tian said, a little excited.
"And they've also agreed to let you play the lead role!"

Qi Hui: “…”

I'm dying of laughter, I can't laugh at all!
