Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 520 Dissatisfaction arises because Naoko's intelligence is all in her head; her cleverness has once again taken the lead.
Airport, VIP lounge

Qi Hui sat in the chair, checking his flight information.

He needs to return to the capital to handle some post-production issues related to "The Vanished She".

In some matters, his subordinates were undecided and needed his final decision.

Jing Tian didn't go back to the capital with them. Anyway, Qi Hui would be back in a few days, so there was no need for him to run around with her.

She diligently prepared for "Si Teng" in Yunnan Province, practicing calligraphy and etiquette.

There are also some things from Peking Opera that I need to practice, so I can use them when filming.

Besides these, the script also presented her with a significant challenge: playing three different roles.

Si Teng, Bai Ying, and Wang Qiankun's version of Si Teng

In the last instance, to deal with the enemy, Sito found a man to impersonate him and then set a trap.

But... when watching TV dramas, everyone knows that one of them is a man.

But when she's acting, she has to portray a woman on the outside but a man on the inside.

It also requires a serious yet humorous tone... To be honest, it's a bit of a hassle.

And then there's Bai Ying, especially the ruthlessness and cruelty she displayed when she killed herself.

Looking at it this way, it's quite difficult.

Therefore, Qi Hui only had one assistant with him this time.

Qi Hui was looking at the flight information his assistant had booked when his phone screen suddenly changed; a call was coming in.

It was Gao Yuanyuan calling.

Qi Hui was somewhat surprised and subconsciously looked to his side... Oh, it was his assistant, not Jing Tian.

Qi Hui coughed lightly, took out his Bluetooth earphones and put them on: "Hello?"

"The big director wants me to act again?" Gao Yuanyuan's voice came through the earphone.

Although it had a touch of joking, the overall tone was calm and professional.

"Yes, a very important role," Qi Hui said. "Have you read the script and the contract?"

"how do you feel?"

"The script is pretty good," Gao Yuanyuan said. "I've already signed a contract with your people."

"Thank you, esteemed director, thank you for remembering me."

She has been focusing on her work for the past few years, constantly taking on acting roles.

It was for this reason that Qi Hui included Gao Yuanyuan in the candidate list.

"Um, I wanted to ask, was Gan Wei's invitation... really like that?" Gao Yuanyuan asked slowly, carefully choosing her words.

"Did Sister Xun tell you everything?"

"Yes, and you also mentioned your analysis." Gao Yuanyuan nodded. In fact, Zhou Xun also mentioned that Qi Hui didn't hide his phone calls from Jing Tian.

As a result, Jing Tian overheard her saying bad things about him.

Ah... how embarrassing and awkward!

Zhou Xun's feet could dig a three-bedroom, two-living-room space out of the ground!
This news also shocked Gao Yuanyuan. No... is Qi Hui really like this?

So Jing Tian actually heard all those phone calls I made with him?

Thinking about it this way, could the person typing on their phone when I was chatting with Qi Hui be Jing Tian?

Thinking about this, Gao Yuanyuan also felt a chill run down her spine and was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.

Although we didn't say anything offensive and there was nothing shameful between us, it still feels quite awkward and strange to think about it.

"What do you think?" Qi Hui asked.

“That makes sense, I’m not going,” Gao Yuanyuan said. “However, your analysis has somehow spread within the industry.”

"Many of my friends know about this."

Qi Hui: “…”

Zhou Xun, that gossipy woman, kept telling me not to tell anyone!
"Oh... don't misunderstand." The silence on the phone alerted Gao Yuanyuan, and a thought flashed through her mind. She roughly understood the reason and said:
"The rumor only mentioned your analysis, but didn't include your name."

"Oh, that's good." Qi Hui breathed a slight sigh of relief; this whole thing had been rather awkward.

“However, many people around me, although they know what you said, have not objected to the banquet,” Gao Yuanyuan continued. “They are quite interested in it.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but also suddenly understood.

Some of these people are probably trying to build personal connections.

LeEco is now thriving. It is the world's first video website to go public via IPO and the first video company to be listed on the A-share market in China.

In the future, LeEco's position in the video website industry will be like QQ in social software and Taobao in e-commerce software.

The future is bright, and there is much to be done!

It's normal to cultivate relationships in advance.

Moreover, those who hold this view are naturally very optimistic about LeEco. In their opinion, investing in LeEco can not only improve their network of contacts but also make money.

Why not?
But who could have imagined that in less than three years, LeEco's situation would take a sharp turn for the worse, becoming a complete disaster?

Gan Wei, the person who sold investments, became a pariah, hated and despised by everyone.

And the once-glorious Mr. Jia has become a deadbeat who will never return to China again... Tsk tsk!
"Huh?" Gao Yuanyuan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, noticing a different voice coming from Qi Hui's side: "You're at the airport?"

"correct."

"Then... what about Jing Tian?" Gao Yuanyuan asked after a slight hesitation.

"On set." Qi Hui asked, a hint of suspicion creeping in: "Why do you ask?"

"It's nothing..." Gao Yuanyuan hung up the phone with a dark expression.

Damn it, so all that effort I put into searching for enemies in the void was for nothing!

In the airport lounge, Qi Hui stared at the phone that had just been hung up, somewhat puzzled. What happened?

Shortly after, staff came to remind us that we could board the plane.

Qi Hui put Gao Yuanyuan's strange behavior out of his mind and boarded the plane back to the capital.

……

Back in the capital, Qi Hui went straight to his studio to begin post-production work on "The Vanished She".

There weren't really any technical difficulties; it was just that we were uncertain about the direction and didn't dare to make a decision.

After Qi Hui returned, he clarified the main direction of attack, focused on the main target, identified the attack points, found the right tactics for attacking, improved the supervision mechanism, and concentrated on the guiding ideology.

After establishing the direction and goals, the subordinates were overjoyed and felt much more relaxed. During a break, they chatted with Qi Hui about another matter:

The case against Lu Chuan has been filed!
And there are two of them standing at once!
The appeal filed by Tianxia Bachang has been accepted and filed by the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, and the trial will begin soon.

The lawsuit continues!

There was also Peter Chen's lawsuit against "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" for copyright infringement, which was accepted and filed by the Chaoyang Court, and the trial began shortly after it started.

The producers of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" are currently in a huge mess because of this.

LeEco and China Film Group are both dealing with two lawsuits simultaneously, which is quite exhausting.

The work on "The Great Wall" was inevitably affected to some extent.

Lu Chuan is a jinx.

Qi Hui chuckled upon hearing this. Had things really progressed to this point?
Of course, it's not that the media didn't report these things, but rather that Qi Hui, while in Yunnan Province, was preoccupied with either Si Teng or Jing Tian.
As for Lu Chuan?

WTF?

Qi Hui lit a cigarette, trying hard to recall the relevant news he had previously seen online.

He's now far away from Jing Tian, ​​and his mind is no longer full of ideas; his intelligence has once again taken center stage.

If I remember correctly, Tianxia Bachang should have won... Qi Hui squinted and lightly flicked the ash from his cigarette with his fingertips.

He recalled that "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" should have lost 5 yuan, which was far from the 100 million yuan that Tianxia Bachang originally demanded.

It sounds like a small amount, but the focus of this case is not on the money, but on other judgments.

The court order required the cessation of the publication and dissemination of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe".

Lu Chuan's hard work on "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" has been completely lost, with zero revenue from streaming.

Hoping that this movie can recoup its costs years later through other channels, like "The Shawshank Redemption," is already impossible.

Thinking of this, Qi Hui chuckled. No wonder Lu Chuan only created the second part of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe," titled "Bureau 749," ten years later.

Given this situation, what decent person would still vote for him?
