Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 553: Pulling One Faction Against Another, Leading the Hong Kong Circle Against the Beijing Circle

The other person spoke first when the call connected.
As expected, it's about promoting the movie via live stream.

However, Shark had some ideas. Their proposed solution was for Qi Hui, Yang Mi, and one of their own streamers to do the live stream.

Let's set up a live stream with three anchors.

The content mainly consists of chatting and singing.

To this end, they also brought out Shark's best singing streamer: Feng Timo.
Upon hearing this, Qi Hui raised an eyebrow. He could guess that Shark wanted to use Qi Hui and Yang Mi, and then use Feng Timo to retain the traffic and fame within Shark.

This idea is not unreasonable. Qi Hui wants to use Shark to promote his movie, and Shark wants to use Qi Hui to promote their live streaming platform.

If Shark can capitalize on the popularity generated by Qi Hui and the currently showing film "The Vanished," it will definitely be far ahead of other live streaming platforms!

Both sides get what they need, achieving a win-win situation through cooperation.

However, Qi Hui did not like that kind of cooperation.

He didn't want to do a live stream with Yang Mi if Jing Tian wasn't around.

He can't work with Feng Timo either, because Qi can't sing at all.

Therefore, Qi Hui raised his objection and presented his own solution:

Let Jing Tian and Feng Timo do a live stream together and sing together.

Upon hearing this, the other party was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it was difficult to explain over the phone, so he invited Qi Hui to meet in person for a face-to-face discussion.

Qi Hui did not object to this.

After agreeing on a time and place, both parties hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, Qi Hui called Jing Tian and told her about it.

Jing Tian seemed quite interested in this. A live stream? And singing?

That sounds like fun!
Watching Qi Hui's live streams recently, she had actually become somewhat tempted and wanted to give it a try.

Therefore, she fully agreed with Qi Hui's idea.

……

Two hours later, Shark's men met with Qi Hui.

Both sides had detailed and in-depth discussions on publicity issues and reached a strategic consensus and related cooperation intentions.

Shark fully endorsed Qi Hui's proposal.

Jing Tian and streamer Feng Timo will host a live stream, mainly featuring singing and chatting with fans and viewers.

The specific agenda and details of the live broadcast will be discussed further by both parties.

Shark will provide top-tier recommendations within the platform, as well as related off-site promotions.

Thus, the cooperation was reached, and both parties were very satisfied.

"Qi Hui's movie is a success again..." Wang Zonglei sighed as he looked at the data analysis on his tablet.

It's been a few days since the release, but it's been rising every day, getting higher and higher each day.

In contrast, "Lost in Hong Kong," which started off very strongly, has been declining for several days now.

Qi Hui is indeed quite extraordinary when it comes to the operation of movies!
"He really does make money on every project," Wang Zongjun said slowly, taking a sip of hot tea, his tone tinged with a hint of sourness.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Huayi Brothers seems to be doing very well this year, with "Mojin: The Lost Legend" becoming the first domestic film to break the 2 billion yuan mark.

They were also one of the four major investors in "The Vanished She".

But in reality, many of the projects they were involved in were complete disasters.

For example, there's "The Class of 2013" starring Sun Honglei and Zhou Dongyu, and John Woo's disaster epic "The Crossing Part 2".

Both of these films only grossed a little over 50 million at the box office, which is quite dismal.

Especially "The Crossing Part 2", this movie had a huge budget, but it flopped terribly.

Fortunately, the main investor was Pegasus Mobility, not Huayi Brothers, otherwise it would have been a real problem!
Thinking of this, Wang Zongjun felt a bitter taste in the hot tea in his mouth.

He also hopes that Huayi can be as ambitious as Qi Hui, making huge profits from every project!

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore." Wang Zongjun put down his teacup and changed the subject: "How are the Golden Horse Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards going next month?"

"It's alright," Wang Zonglei said. "Many of our works have been shortlisted, but the list hasn't been released yet."

"In addition, Lao Chen has already set off for Taiwan."

Chen Kuo-fu is serving as the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards final judging panel this year, so he will have to temporarily put aside his work as the director at Huayi Brothers. Wang Tsung-chun took a sip of tea, nodded slowly, and said no more.

There are many entries submitted for the award, and the judging panel decides which entry will win.

Of course, the judging panel consisted of a large number of people, and the judges had different preferences and stances.

It's normal for there to be some bias!

……

Yu Dong smoked a cigarette and slowly put down the tablet computer in his hand.

To be honest, I'm a little envious.

Although Bernard was wealthy and powerful, he couldn't achieve the same level of success as Qi Hui.

"How about... finding an opportunity to snatch Qi Hui's project?" Yu Dong wondered.

He also wanted to cooperate with Qi Hui, but the other party was not willing!

There was no other way, so he had to think of another solution.

However, when Dong returned to Yixin's projects, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

He realized he couldn't steal it at all.

Qi Hui's projects are mostly done by himself, such as "The Beginning" and "The Vanished She".

Or it's films that no one believed in before they succeeded, like "Wolf Warrior" and "Brotherhood of Blades".

How can I possibly steal this?

No wonder those two old bastards haven't turned against Qi Hui yet... Yu Dong's head throbbed; it turned out they simply couldn't!
I knew it! Those two old bastards were so good-natured; they were just too weak to move.

Yu Dong abandoned his reckless thoughts, but at the same time, he ordered people to keep an eye on Yixin's side.

If Qi Hui makes any move, report it immediately; he wants to get involved too.

If the other party won't cooperate with me, then I'll go and cooperate with you, that should work, right?
……

Just as the group was lost in their own thoughts, Guan Hu's long-awaited "Qiang Qiang San Ren Xing" finally premiered.

Dou Wentao is known as one of the best conversationalists in China...
It's a bit of a coincidence that Dou Wentao also graduated from Jiangcheng University, and he even studied journalism.

When the buff is fully stacked, it is considered a full buff.

Soon, a video of "Qiang Qiang San Ren Xing" circulated online.

With his head shaved, Guan Hu spoke eloquently at the table: "I think he's different from other... no, from this generation of boys in China, precisely because of his experience growing up abroad."

"I think he's very pure; his eyes are so innocent."

“We were just talking about kids his age. Aren’t kids in China often complaining about their lack of resilience? But he doesn’t really understand all the things that kids in China understand.”

"Many American-born Chinese (ABCs) who grew up in the US look like this, with very clean eyes."

"No lying, no beating around the bush, very simple and straightforward..."

Dou Wentao chimed in, agreeing repeatedly.

Qi Hui, who had just put down his work and was browsing Weibo and videos, saw this video and was so angry that he laughed.

Damn it, I thought Guan Hu would tone it down a bit... Qi Hui was genuinely amused by the situation.

Guan Hu was watching as he interrogated Wu Qian.

Guan Hu knows perfectly well what Wu Qian did, yet this bastard still lies through his teeth.

"That's good..." Qi Hui sneered, immediately switched accounts, and sent out the secretly filmed video that he had prepared in advance.

However... Qi Hui thought about it again and slowed down his movements.

"No rush, let the bullets fly for a while!" Qi Hui stopped.

He plans to wait until the video reaches its peak popularity before taking action.

Furthermore, it's not enough for just one person to do it; others must also participate.

For example... the Hong Kong entertainment circle!
Qi Hui's eyes darted around, and he told his assistant to find a few unused phone cards.

Have the secretary obtain the contact information for several vice presidents of Emperor and Bernard.

There's no other meaning to it; it's about pulling one faction together and attacking the other, pulling the Hong Kong circle together to attack the Beijing circle.

What we need to do now is wait for that video to circulate for a few more days!
