Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 502 Empress Dowager Cixi has already paid for me.
"Haha... Sister Yuanyuan, long time no see." Qi Hui greeted her as well, but his feet didn't stop moving, and he quickly came to Jing Tian's side.

Gao Yuanyuan's face stiffened slightly, and she couldn't help but spit inwardly, "What a cowardly man!"

We're not doing anything, just chatting. There are so many people here, do you think I'm going to eat you?
Beside Gao Yuanyuan, Zhou Xun looked on with amusement, finding it all quite interesting.

She had known Qi Hui for several years and understood his temperament.

Seeing this scene, I wasn't surprised; I'm used to it now. I just found it funny.

I don't know if Qi Hui is trying to avoid suspicion or if he's afraid of his wife.

It's not like I'm a kept man, why is it such a big deal?
But Zhou Xun soon learned the reason behind Qi Hui's actions.

Not only her and Gao Yuanyuan, but Yang Mi and Gan Wei also came.

Fan Bingbing, who was enjoying a loving moment with Li Chen, walked over slowly, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhou Xun chuckled to himself, no wonder Qi Hui wanted to run away!
This time, Gao Yuanyuan wasn't in a hurry. She pulled Zhou Xun and slowed down her pace, wanting to see how Jing Tian would handle the situation.

At this moment, she was completely in a spectator's mood. Just like some bad men enjoy watching virtuous women fall from grace, she also enjoyed watching Qi Hui, who was not interested in women, surrounded by beautiful women.

Before long, Qi Hui was indeed surrounded. Besides Yang Mi, Gan Wei, and Fan Bingbing, there were also Yang Tianbao and Jing Tian beside him. It was truly a gathering of beauties.

Jing Tian looked around. With a formidable enemy in front of him and outnumbered, alarm bells immediately went off in his mind, and he frantically racked his brains for a solution.

"Sister Gan, it's been a long time," Qi Hui greeted first.

"Long time no see." Gan smiled and nodded, her gaze sweeping over Jing Tian with a meaningful look.

Could that scheming woman from the phone call be Jing Tian?

Or is it someone else?
"Sister Yuanyuan, Sister Xun, you're here too?" Qi Hui did nothing but greet them, not giving them a chance to speak.

"Senior Yang Mi." At this moment, Jing Tian took Yang Mi's hand and asked curiously:

"I heard you've been livestreaming lately. How's it going? Did you run into any bad people?"

These words immediately piqued the curiosity of the female celebrities around them.
Live streaming is a novel thing, and Yang Mi can be considered one of the first people like her to try it!

Upon seeing this, Qi Hui immediately and quietly retreated behind Jing Tian.

"..." Yang Mi glared at Jing Tian. "You bastard, you just know how to use me as a shield!"
However, her eyes lit up, and she immediately launched into a long speech about the benefits of live streaming.

She can't be the only one doing the live stream; she needs to drag more people down with her!
As for the reason... well, it was Qi Hui's suggestion.

Hearing Yang Mi say this, the actresses were somewhat surprised. Was it Qi Hui's suggestion?
"Yes." Yang Mi smiled faintly, "Jing Tian, ​​didn't Qi Hui tell you about this?"

Upon hearing this, the actresses looked at Jing Tian with a hint of mockery.

She seems unaware that Qi Hui gave Yang Mi advice? That's interesting...

In just a few seconds, countless gossips flashed through the minds of these actresses, such as the relationship between Yang Mi and Qi Hui, the hostility between Qi Hui and Liu Kaiwei, and... whose child is it?
Of course, they only thought about it and didn't say it aloud.

In reality, Jing Tian certainly knew, but wasn't she just pretending not to know in order to shield herself from criticism?
Therefore, Jing Tian was outmaneuvered by Yang Mi.

"Oh...I really don't know." Jing Tian shook her head, pretending to think.
"However, he wrote a few songs for me, I don't know if he wants me to do a live stream too."

"..." Now it was Yang Mi's turn to be silent.
……

On the other side, Qi Hui, Guo Fan, Wang Zongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and other film and television company executives were huddled together, chatting and bickering with each other.

This gave him a slight sense of relief.

However, Qi Hui didn't need to worry anymore. They hadn't been chatting for long when the time was almost up, and a notification sounded from the speakers that the movie was about to start.
The guests immediately took their seats and began watching the movie.
Soon, the lights dimmed, the dragon emblem lit up, and the movie began!

A series of names and film company names appeared on the screen, ending with a striking line of text:
This film is adapted from the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light" by Tianxia Bachang.

Upon seeing this string of subtitles, those present couldn't help but smile knowingly; Lu Chuan had fallen victim to these very words.

I don't know who came up with this crazy idea, but they actually sued Lu Chuan.

They beat "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" pretty badly!
Soon, the image appeared: the sound of chisels breaking through the tomb passage.
At the same time, Qi Hui's slightly magnetic voice slowly rang out:

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the political situation was turbulent, and warlords were everywhere. In order to raise military funds and supplies, Cao Cao established the position of "Captain of Tomb Raiders" in his army. This position involved exploring tombs, breaking down doors and opening coffins to borrow money from the dead...

The original script had a rather lengthy opening dialogue with limited information.

What about a thousand years ago, when the country was divided into three kingdoms and constantly at war, and an emperor who, in order to ensure his soldiers were well-fed, opened coffins and robbed tombs, etc.?

What could be said in a few four-character phrases is described in an incredibly long way.

Huayi's original plan was to use an actress who had experience in Hollywood, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, in order to expand into overseas markets.

However, Qi Hui's actions transformed the female lead into Jing Tian, ​​thwarting Hua Yi's original plan. Helpless, Hua Yi could only give up while cursing and swearing.

And the lines were naturally changed back.

But this change makes people feel much more comfortable.

Soon, the mechanisms in the tomb began to activate, starting with rockets flying upwards and then large crossbow bolts shooting horizontally.

Jing Tian held two climbing axes and swung up and down on ropes.

Wang Pangzi, a grown man, needed Hu Bayi to save him, while Jing Tian's character, Shirley Yang, survived unharmed in the heavily guarded tomb.

So incredibly handsome!

The use of the Vajra Umbrella, in particular, made many readers of the original work slap their thighs in surprise.

Wonderful!

Before long, the museum opened!

Yang Tianbao appeared from the coffin, just like the Queen of Jingjue in the book.

As the red veil was lifted, a sudden change occurred: the coffin exploded and plunged into the abyss.

Her exotic Jingjue queen attire was torn, revealing her military uniform underneath. Through the torn clothing, one could vaguely make out what Yang Tianbao was saying.

It seems to be either "Don't Forget Me" or "The Other Shore Flower"?
The series of tomb raiding scenes excited the audience: Jing Tian, ​​with her dashing figure and Vajra Umbrella in hand; Qi Hui, who saved his teammates with a flying tiger claw; and Yang Tianbao, who was like a queen of Jingjue!
The inclusion of elements from the original work makes the audience even more interested in the story to come.

Isn't this much better than "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe"?!
But then, the scene changed.

Hu Bayi, who was in Los Angeles, USA, suddenly woke up with a start, and heard the urgent sirens of the LAPD in his ears. It turned out that this was just a dream!

Actually... that string of sirens wasn't dubbed; it was recorded during filming.

In the United States, it's not uncommon to hear police sirens every few minutes.

During post-production, Guo Fan did not remove the siren sound in order to make it more realistic to America.

"..."

"Begging again, brother!"

Fatty Wang cursed, "A dignified tomb raider, coming to America and begging every day, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Why should I feel ashamed?" Qi Hui said while eating, "Empress Dowager Cixi has already paid for it for me."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately broke into laughter.

"That's a very interesting statement."

"Who wrote these lines? A genius!"

"Nobody else can be so brazen as to eat for free."

"Hahaha, these few lines are really well-written. This is exactly how Lao Hu and Fatty in the original novel talk nonsense to each other."

"..."

The movie continues, the story unfolds slowly. Just moments ago, the incredibly dashing tomb raider was roaming through ancient tombs, but now he's being chased around by immigration officials who mistake him for an undocumented immigrant.

Fortunately, Jing Tian's character Shirley Yang appeared and saved the day!

Squeak!

"Get in the car!" Jing Tian waved her hand and called out.

"Oh my!"

"Oh huh?"

Her appearance was a real eye-catcher. With her short, wispy hair, a wine-red leather jacket, and a commanding tone, she was even more handsome than Qi Hui!
Sure enough, when women are cool, men don't stand a chance!
In the opening scene at the ancient tomb, Jing Tian was wearing a mask, so you couldn't see how handsome she was.

Looking at it now, it's truly remarkable!
Yang Mi crossed her arms, clearly annoyed. "What's so great about a tomboy?" she thought.
Yang Tianbao was also somewhat frustrated, because in the movie, she and Hu Bayi were supposed to be a couple.

Why did the audience react like this the moment Jing Tian appeared?
