Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 544 Premiere, Liu Yifei

a few days later

Two days before National Day, the premiere of "The Vanished" was held in Beijing.

I sent out invitations to quite a few people in the industry, and sure enough, quite a few people came.

Han Sanping, who has retired, and Wang Changtian from Enlight Media came, along with people from Poly, Tianyu Media, and Shanghai Media Group.
Shangshi is the company that signed a performance-based agreement with Yang Mi's Jiaxing Media.

Of the ten million yuan invested by Jiaxing, half came from Shangshi.

To alleviate their tight cash flow, Yang Mi and her team partnered with Shangshi to invest in "The Vanished She".

Of course, this was an internal agreement, and Qi Hui was unaware of it.

Therefore, Shangshi can be considered a semi-investor in "The Vanished She".

"Oh my, President Yu!" Qi Hui stepped forward warmly to greet Yu Dong: "Long time no see!"

"Haha, Qi Hui, long time no see, long time no see!" Yu Dong shook hands repeatedly. He didn't come alone; there were two people behind him.

One was bald, the other a middle-aged man in a suit.

It's obvious that the bald man is Dante Lam, the director of "Operation Mekong".

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​using live streaming to promote the movie?" Yu Dong laughed and asked.

Nearby, several celebrities from the entertainment industry, who were exchanging pleasantries with Wu Jing, Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi, and others, quietly pricked up their ears, preparing to learn some tricks from Qi Hui.

Who knows, we might need it someday?

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui's expression gradually turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"It's actually not difficult, Mr. Yu. As long as we grasp the historical patterns, seize the key moments, deepen our understanding of policies and truths, and focus on guiding principles, we can cultivate our development advantages, focus on development momentum, make up for development shortcomings, and improve the quality of development..."

Yu Dong: "..."

What are you doing for me?
Is it the evening news broadcast?
Nearby, an insider who was about to eavesdrop and learn a few tricks suddenly twitched at the corner of his eye, feeling like cursing.

Seeing their changing expressions, Qi Hui shook his head.

Keeping pace with the times, adhering to the leadership of the Party, and focusing on long-term development is the only right path!

"Hello, Director Qi, I've heard so much about you." Dante Lam stepped forward to shake hands, greeting him with a slight Hong Kong accent.

"Director Lin, hello. I've seen many of your movies," Qi Hui said with a smile.
"It's a pity we couldn't work together this time," Dante Lam said with some regret.

Bernard didn't give him the power to choose the actors; he simply couldn't afford to cast those Hong Kong film stars and A-list celebrities in "Operation Mekong."

However, the actors he was given weren't famous or high-profile enough; Zhang Hanyu and Peng Yuyan were ultimately a bit inferior to Qi Hui.

"There will be opportunities in the future," Qi Hui said with a smile.

After having the staff escort the guests inside, Qi Hui continued to greet and warmly welcome them.

Soon, another familiar bald man arrived.

Qi Hui was speechless. He had just sent in one bald man, and now another one was coming in.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xu Zheng.

"Director Xu, I've long admired your name." Qi Hui smiled and used official diplomatic language: "I've always wanted to formally get to know you, and today I finally have the opportunity!"

"Haha...haha..." Xu Zheng laughed awkwardly, somewhat speechless.

His film "Lost in Hong Kong" premiered a few days ago, but for some reason, he did not invite Qi Hui.

Qi Hui's current enthusiasm made him feel awkward, guilty, and conflicted.

Fortunately, he didn't come alone; he brought his wife and Paul Bell, the lead actor from "Lost in Hong Kong."
Tao Hong smiled and broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere: "Director Qi, I've heard of you many times. You are indeed young and promising!"

She heard that Qi Hui's movie was a sweet romance film, so she was willing to come and support him.

"Please excuse my rudeness, Sister Tao." Qi Hui gently shook hands with her.

To be honest, Tao Hong isn't very pretty, and she's a bit dark-skinned; I'd only say she's average-looking.

However, she possessed a strong married woman's charm, which added to her appeal; no wonder Duan Yihong had a crush on her. Qi Hui also greeted Bao Beier beside him and then had a staff member escort them inside.

This person... well, their reputation isn't very good, and their acting skills aren't very good either.

Although Wang Baoqiang in "Lost in Thailand" caused a lot of trouble, he was sincere and would try to resolve the problems he created.

But Paul Bell in "Lost in Hong Kong" is different. He is silly but shrewd, and the trouble he causes has to be solved by others.

Compared to Wang Baoqiang, he gives people the impression of being shrewd and calculating.
Actually, he's not suited to playing silly or comedic roles.

He is better suited to playing arrogant and domineering characters.

For example, the character of Young Master Zhao in "The Big Shot" was so well acted that you'd think he was just playing himself!

"Hmm?" Qi Hui suddenly raised an eyebrow. He had just seen Xu Zheng and the others inside when he turned around and saw someone even more familiar:

Liu Yifei!
In "The Vanished She", Qi Hui used a short clip from her "Chinese Paladin", so he tried sending her an invitation.

Unexpectedly, she actually came.

Qi Hui was somewhat surprised by this.

However, this time she wasn't alone; a young man in a suit was with her—her boyfriend, Song Seung-heon, a Korean.
Of course, he's not really young; Song Seung-heon is only two years younger than Oh Kyung.

He is more than ten years older than Liu Yifei.
When Liu Yifei was still in sixth grade, he might have already graduated from university.

"Hello." Qi Hui used his Korean skills, which he hadn't used in a long time: "Welcome to my movie premiere."

"Ah... Hello!" Song Seung-heon's expression changed slightly. At first, he was just surprised by Qi Hui's fluent Korean.

But the moment they shook hands, he felt that Qi Hui's hand was as hard as iron, with many calluses on it, and he didn't look like someone from the entertainment industry at all.

Since acquiring the [Spear Mastery] skill, Qi Hui has never stopped practicing with the spear. After years of practice, he has developed many calluses on the tiger's mouth of his hands.

Those in the industry all know that Qi Hui is skilled in martial arts and has always been known for his fighting prowess, so they are not surprised by the calluses on his hands.

But this was the first time that this Korean had met Qi Hui.

"You... um? It's you?!" Song Seung-heon was about to speak, but upon closer inspection, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he quickly remembered who Qi Hui was.

A video circulating on the Simplified Chinese internet shows several Chinese people in Busan being looked down upon by Koreans and not even allowed to enter luxury stores.

Later, they bought several watermelons, divided them up, and each carried one in a very casual manner.
Then, they were able to move freely through all the luxury stores in Busan.

The previously arrogant Korean waiter began to greet them with a smile and utter humility.

This incident has always been a joke and a source of amusement on the Simplified Chinese internet, but in South Korea, it is a humiliation!
An immense humiliation!
This is outrageous! These Chinese people have gone too far!

How could someone do something so shameless?!
They have absolutely no respect for the Great Cold Netherworld Kingdom, damn it!

Upon realizing this, Song Seung-heon's smile vanished instantly, his gaze turning hostile as if he were looking at an enemy.

Qi Hui noticed this, and although he didn't know where the sudden hostility came from, it didn't matter.

He used his five fingers to grind Song Seung-heon's palm little by little.

"Ah...uh!" Song Seung-heon's face turned pale, then gradually turned red.

Qi Hui looked at him with a half-smile, his expression playful and intrigued.

Liu Yifei, who was standing nearby, noticed this, pursed her lips, but did not say anything.

Song Seung-heon's face was stiff, he was in so much pain that he couldn't control his expression, and in the end he could only force a smile.

A smile means only one thing: begging for mercy!

See, that smiling face is back again... Qi Hui, with great composure, released his hand and turned to look at Liu Yifei:

"Senior, long time no see."

"Welcome to my movie premiere."
