Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 510 Yu Dong visits, "Operation Mekong" is coming (6th update)
Immediately, Qi Hui called both of them and talked to them about their current situation.

As usual, Lao Ling had just finished filming a drama called "The Hunter," a period detective drama.

A drama similar to "Glorious Times" tells the story of a city's police on the eve of liberation.

However, the story of "The Hunter" takes place in Northeast China, in a city called Bincheng, while "The Glorious Era" takes place in Beiping (Beijing) at that time.

Unlike "Glorious Times", this time Lao Ling is not playing a villain, but the absolute male lead with a positive image.

It sounds great. Although it's not a movie, Lao Ling is getting better and better.

As for Xiao Zhang, he didn't act; instead, he participated in the recording of a variety show.
It's called "Top Gun".

Just from the name, you can tell it's related to the Air Force.

Qi Hui stroked his chin, and a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

Xia Yu did mention this during the promotional tour for "Mojin: The Lost Legend".

So, both of them are on this variety show.
In the past two years, with the success of variety shows such as "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Running Man", other variety shows of various types have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, dazzling people.

Some time ago, Xia Yu complained to them more than once about the dangers of the variety show "Top Gun," such as the game of climbing poles outward from the roof of a high-rise building.

Although there were safety ropes, to be honest, they were all untrained, and it looked quite dangerous.

Zhang Yuqi has complained about this several times on the show, and even bluntly said that being an artist is a high-risk job.

Qi Hui remained noncommittal, saying that too many variety shows have run into trouble.

He remembered once meeting a bald TV host, who had been involved in an accident during a variety show.
They took him to the hospital, but unfortunately, one of his eggs had to be removed.
He became a lone-eyed warrior.

Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine and makes your scalp tingle.

Variety shows and the like are terrifying!

Of course, the show has already finished filming, and Xiao Zhang has been staying at home for a while now.
According to the original plan, he should have joined the film crew to begin promoting "Monster Hunt".

But is it because of the release of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" that "Monster Hunt" was postponed?
So, the promotion didn't start, and the movie wasn't released.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui felt somewhat embarrassed, realizing he had unintentionally offended Xiao Zhang.

However, as the peak momentum of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" has passed, "Monster Hunt" has also begun to gradually promote itself and prepare for its release.

He'll be joining the film crew next week to start promoting the movie.

At this point, Qi Hui immediately recounted the story of "The Disguiser".

Upon hearing this, Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang readily agreed, both expressing their willingness to take the role.

They know this company; Qi Hui is involved in it, so they won't cheat him.

Moreover, the quality of this company's TV dramas has always been very good.

Which of these dramas—Battle of Changsha, Love Between Parents, and No War in Beiping—isn't of excellent quality and critical acclaim?

On the side, Kong Sheng and Sun Molong couldn't stop smiling. Good, good, that's how it should be!

It's a bit of a shame that Qi Hui and Jing Tian weren't cast, but it's good that Ling Xiaosu and Zhang Ruoyun are in it too.

The four siblings of the Ming family solved half of the problem in one go.

Immediately, Kong and Sun returned to the company, where they had a contract drafted while contacting Zhang Ruoyun and Ling Xiaosu to finalize all the issues and details.

Watching Kong and Sun leave, Qi Hui smiled wryly.

When he initially invested in Daylight Entertainment, his intention was to provide Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang with more film and television resources, and to help them as much as he could.

They helped me a lot back then, I can't forget that.

At this very moment, all of these plans have come to fruition!
……

After seeing Kong and Sun off, Qi Hui returned to his busy work, spending his days in the studio working on the post-production of "The Vanished She".

Editing, dubbing, subtitling, and I often need to communicate with people from China Film Group to discuss special effects.

Xiao Yang is busy too. Isn't this another scene from "Chinese Paladin" in "The Vanished"?
We need to get some copyright information from Tangren Media, so Xiao Yang has to make a trip there.

In addition, with the pre-production of "Sito" underway, everyone at Yixin Pictures is extremely busy.

Qi Hui works eight hours a day, five days a week, and only gets two days off on weekends. It's really too hard!

I'll dedicate all my remaining time to spending time with Jing Tian.
He's a boss, a chairman, yet he has to work like an ordinary office worker. Jing Tian is in a similar situation; after a period of intermittent laziness and staying home, she's also starting to prepare.
I started practicing my posture and gait to prepare for playing the role of Siteng.
She injured her leg while practicing dance in her early years, and often walks with her toes pointing outwards.

To be honest, it looks a bit unattractive, so in her daily life, she tries to wear long skirts whenever possible.
She doesn't need to act; her physique and other aspects are all good enough, so completing the role won't be a problem.

He would train a little each day, memorize his lines, and then spend the rest of his energy bullying Qi Hui.

Jing Tian enjoys her current life; it's great, and she likes it very much.

……

In the studio, Qi Hui directed the editors to process the footage, and frequently had to stop to adjust the shots and check the footage.

The editing studio was bustling with activity.

Just then, the door opened, and Xiao Yang walked in slowly.

Qi Hui, who was chatting with the editor about work, did not notice Xiao Yang's arrival.

Xiao Yang was about to call Qi Hui when she saw Chen Duling on the screen.

White top, blue long skirt, long hair flowing down her shoulders.

With glasses perched on her straight nose, she looked as if she had stepped out of a painting, as beautiful as a white lotus flower.

Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, then slowly took a deep breath. So beautiful!
With her pure, scholarly air and delicate, clean-cut demeanor… even though she was a woman, she couldn't help but marvel at Chen Duling in this picture.

She remembered that Qi Hui chose Chen Duling because of the pure and innocent aura that Chen Duling possessed.

It makes people nostalgic for their first love at first glance.

Now it seems that Chen Duling's performance was spot on, and the boss also achieved the desired effect.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Qi Hui laughed. "The more beautiful it is, the more heartbreaking it is when it dies."

Especially in the utterly desperate situation of dying in an underwater iron cage!

Xiao Yang: "..."

You're stealing bamboo shoots!

"What do you want?" Qi Hui asked, then walked towards the door.

"Ah... Oh, oh." Xiao Yang finally realized what was happening and caught up with Qi Hui's steps.

In the corridor, Qi Hui lit a cigarette by the window, waiting for Xiao Yang to speak.

"The copyright issue with Tangren Media has been resolved," Xiao Yang said, adjusting his glasses.
"The contract is finalized, and the payment isn't much; it's market price."

Qi Hui nodded, not at all surprised. It was just normal conversation; the relevant parties had agreed to things like film and television copyrights.

As long as you don't do anything reckless like Lu Chuan, there shouldn't be any major problems... Hmm?

Thinking of this, Qi Hui's fingers, which were flicking cigarette ash, suddenly paused; he remembered something.

If I remember correctly, in addition to the copyright lawsuit filed by author Tianxia Bachang, "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" also seems to have been involved in another lawsuit.

The lawsuit seems to have been triggered by a certain piece of music...

Qi Hui stroked his chin and immediately explained the matter, then asked Xiao Yang to find an opportunity to reveal it to Hua Yi.

Huayi will know what to do next!

Hearing this, Xiao Yang was speechless. Poor Lu Chuan... Although he deserved it, she still felt a strange pity for him.

Hopefully, Lu Chuan will be alright after this incident.

"I understand, I'll get on it right away." He said, taking out his phone and having someone quietly spread the word.

"Are you alright now?" After finishing his business, Qi Hui prepared to go back to work.

"Uh... no, there's one more thing." Startled awake, Xiao Yang quickly said:
"Mr. Yu from Berna wants to see you, saying he wants to discuss a collaboration."

“You talked to him before and expressed interest.”

"Oh..." Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. Could it be that "Operation Mekong" is coming soon?
