Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 506 Teng Huatao: Lu Chuan is trash (2nd update)
The next day

Guo Fan, along with Qi Huijing, Huang Boya, Yu Liu, Xiaoqing Yang, and Tianbao, embarked on a nationwide roadshow arranged by investors such as Huayi Brothers and Enlight Media.

In order to reach the box office of 2 billion yuan, the usual seven-day roadshow was extended to fourteen days, and all the major cities had to be visited.

I have to travel to the southwest, south China, east China, northeast China, and north China.

Apart from Qi Hui, everyone else is full of energy and working hard towards the goal of 2 billion yuan in box office revenue.

The highest record for Chinese-language films is currently only 1.5 billion. If this record is broken and the film is far ahead of the others, those who participated in the film will naturally benefit greatly and their fame will soar.

After several days of hard work, Huang Boya, Xia Yu, Liu Xiaoqing, and others, who were initially full of enthusiasm, began to feel somewhat listless.

They are not young, and they can't maintain such high-intensity work for too long.

Jing Tian is similar; she plays an action heroine and needs to showcase her skills during promotional tours.

Fortunately, she was a dancer and could handle it.

In contrast, Qi Hui, who was initially somewhat listless, became increasingly energetic.

夜晚
The vehicle drove along the road, carrying the main cast and crew of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" back to the hotel.

After a long day of roadshows, everyone is exhausted and wants to go home and rest.

In the back seat by the window, Jing Tian leaned on Qi Hui's shoulder, half asleep.

Qi Hui glanced at her, a thought rising in his mind to tease her.

Immediately, he gently shook the hand that was around her shoulder.

Jing Tian woke up groggily, her eyes still blurry with sleep: "Ah... am I home yet?"

The others, too tired to speak, turned to look at her. Home? There are still several days until she gets home!

"It's okay, it's okay, go back to sleep." Qi Hui patted her head.

"Oh...mua~" Jing Tian kissed Qi Hui, then snuggled against Qi Hui's neck, breathing in the familiar scent and continuing to sleep.

Qi Hui: “…”

This girl is still half asleep; she thinks she's at home.

Guo Fan, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Liu Xiaoqing, Yang Tianbao: "..."

The group silently took out their water and took a sip; the dog food was so dry, they had to drink some water.

Where's Chenglong Motors? Come here!

It's one thing if it can't damage the ideal car, but can't it at least damage these two?
……

Imperial Capital
Lu Chuan put down her book and looked at the sky outside the window with a bored expression.

He hasn't touched his phone or gone online for the past few days, focusing instead on reading books and newspapers and avoiding the internet.

He was able to live a very comfortable life even before the internet was available, and being offline for a few days didn't affect him at all.

Then...then he found himself becoming somewhat depressed, and nothing he did felt right.

I have no interest in anything, and all I can think about is going online!
"Damn it..." Lu Chuan suddenly went from feeling bored to angry. Why was this happening?

I wasn't like this before we had the internet!
But he couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately grabbed his phone and turned it on, and also ran to the computer and turned it on.

But soon, he felt like slapping himself.
Because he saw the last thing he wanted to see: [The movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend" grossed over 200 million yuan on its opening day, with a total box office of 2.03 million yuan on its first day!]

A huge news headline came into view

On Weibo, there are countless comments from netizens about "Mojin: The Lost Legend".
"Qi Hui's Hu Bayi is so handsome, tough and fierce, decisive in killing. I got wet the moment he killed that female Japanese soldier and Liu Xiaoqing!"

"Hey upstairs, what are you doing spouting such vulgarities, you woman? Shut up!"

"Hey canine upstairs, please put down the rodent you're chewing on!"

"Empress Dowager Cixi has already paid for me, hahaha, this line is so funny, it made my stomach hurt from laughing!"

"When Lao Hu and Fatty are together, they can even perform crosstalk, hahaha."

"Huang Bo is one thing, but this is the first time I've realized that Qi Hui has such a talent for comedy."

"I already said it, didn't I? I told you a bunch of American jokes and punchlines later on?"

"Hahaha, I almost forgot! I was so focused on watching tomb raiding shows that I nearly forgot about the American Hell Jokes." "..."

"Damn it!" Lu Chuan slammed down the keyboard and phone, her already angry mood turning even angrier.
"Why are all the comments good? Isn't there a single word criticizing Qi Hui?"

He had been offline for so many days because he didn't want to see Qi Hui and "Mojin: The Lost Legend," but he still saw them anyway.

"This isn't fair...it's unreasonable, why are the box office numbers so high?" Lu Chuan couldn't help but run back to the computer to check the data.
Then the more you look at it, the more you'll question the meaning of life.

"Why is this happening? They're clearly not as good as mine..." he murmured in confusion.
……

海淀
In the study, Teng Huatao was typing away on the keyboard. After typing the last period, he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and lit a cigarette.

I'm so tired, writing a script is just too difficult...

He can't remember how many times he revised the script for "Shanghai Fortress," he only remembers that he kept revising it.

Writing a new script is incredibly exciting and motivating, especially since this time it's a science fiction script.

A boundless desire to express themselves and a variety of novel ideas sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

In addition, he had the writer Jiangnan to exchange ideas with, which made him feel really good.

The more he wrote the script, the more confident he became. He was certain that his "Shanghai Fortress" would crush all competitors and set a new record in the history of Chinese-language films!

Thinking this, Teng Huatao took out his phone and turned it on.

He's been secluded writing a script lately and hasn't been online for a long time.

The only place we used the internet was to discuss the script with Jiangnan on WeChat.

I sometimes read the news, but I'm focused on the script, so the news about him basically goes in one ear and out the other.

"It seems Qi Hui has made another new movie..." Teng Huatao frowned and muttered.

I opened my phone, glanced at the screen briefly, and couldn't help but frown. "Mojin: The Lost Legend" grossed 2.03 million yuan on its opening day.

This box office figure is higher than his entire movie!

"Damn it, evil lives on forever, but this kind of bastard seems to thrive! What kind of world is this!" Teng Huatao cursed, indignant.

He also remembered that there was some kind of press conference last year, where that bastard Qi Hui called him a "poop-making machine" again, and incidentally called Lu Chuan "poop-making machine number two" as well.
Thinking of this, Teng Huatao paused for a moment, then immediately began searching for information about Lu Chuan's current situation.
If I remember correctly, Lu Chuan and Qi Hui were rivals back then… Teng Huatao felt conflicted. On one hand, he hoped Lu Chuan would severely punish Qi Hui and crush that bastard with her excellent work.
On the one hand, he hoped that Lu Chuan could stand by him, because he had been unable to recover from the failure of "Up in the Wind".

Now, everyone who sees me looks at me with a strange gaze.
Teng Huatao naturally hoped that someone could serve as a foil, and the best candidate was naturally Lu Chuan, the second dung-producing machine.

Soon, the relevant information appeared on the screen.

Lu Chuan's film "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe," with an investment of 120 million yuan, grossed 40 million yuan on its opening day and 2.37 million yuan in its opening week.

Its opening week box office was almost less than that of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" on its opening day.
The original author has sued them, and the case is currently in court; their situation is precarious.
"Hehehe..." Teng Huatao couldn't help but laugh as he looked at these messages.
On Weibo, a bunch of people were criticizing Lu Chuan.
"At least Teng Huatao proved himself after the film was released, but you, before the film was even released, you couldn't hide the fact that you're a piece of shit!"

"As expected of you, Rikutaro! I should never have had any hope for you!"

"Damn it, you turned a perfectly good story like 'The Ghost City of Jingjue' into a pile of dog shit!"

"Having seen the Nine-Story Demon Tower was an eye-opener. I sincerely hope the relevant authorities will execute Lu Chuan!"

"..."

"Hahahaha..." Teng Huatao's pent-up anger vanished, and he slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.
My depressed and upset mood was relieved; finally, I wasn't alone anymore.

While his song "Waiting for the Wind" was terrible, it wasn't so bad that it deserved to be shot.

This shows just how much people hated Lu Chuan!

After laughing, Teng Huatao put down his phone. The brief relaxation was about over; he had to get back to work.

I had originally hoped that Lu Chuan could teach Qi Hui a lesson, but Lu Chuan is incompetent. It seems that I must come out of seclusion!
Teng Huatao's gaze was firm. It seemed that only I could suppress and defeat Qi Hui!

As for joining forces with Lu Chuan... forget it. Lu Chuan is trash, does he even deserve it?

Moreover, he was afraid that Lu Chuan would be sued by the original author again, since "Shanghai Fortress" also has an original work.

------

Some netizens are actually demanding that Lu Chuan be executed...
