Chapter 558 Operation Red Sea? What about Wolf Warrior 2?

11:00 AM

On the large bed in the luxury suite, Qi Hui slowly woke up.

He glanced at the time habitually, his gaze sharpened slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: I've been ruined by wine and women, and I've become so negligent.
Back then, he would jump out of bed at the sound of the reveille.

If he hadn't become an actor, he would definitely be an elite soldier!

But now, he actually slept until 11 a.m. before waking up?
No, this can't go on... Qi Hui slowly clenched his fist, his gaze resolute.
Starting today, quit drinking!
Immediately, he picked up his phone, held the sleeping Jing Tian in his arms, and began his routine check of today's box office data.

"Hmm?" Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, his face showing surprise.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the box office has surpassed one billion.

The line chart on the screen shows that today's box office figures are significantly higher than those of the previous period.

Seeing this, Qi Hui couldn't help but purse his lips, afraid that he would laugh out loud.

"Looks like yesterday's live stream went really well..." he thought to himself.

On the box office charts for the National Day holiday, Qi Hui's "The Vanished She" took the top spot, truly leading by a wide margin!
Far ahead of its peers!
Far ahead of the same period!
Opening Weibo, the trending topics list is again filled with related entries about yesterday's live stream.

Jing Tian's Peking Opera-style singing stunned the audience!

【Jing Tian in a Cheongsam, a Different Jing Tian!】

Jing Tian sings Qi Hui's new song

They're really willing to spend money... Qi Hui chuckled to himself. Without a doubt, it must be the Shark side that bought the trending search.

In fact, Qi Hui was wrong.

Shark's official account did buy trending topics, but not all of them.

The trending topic about Peking Opera singing style wasn't bought; it went viral on its own.

Clicking in, the related discussion among netizens is still ongoing:
"I went to the cinema to see 'The Vanished' because of Jing Tian, ​​but I was amazed by Li Muzi. She is so beautiful. Seeing her reminded me of my first love."

How's your first love doing now?

"I don't know, I don't even have a single photo of her."

“I’m different. I have her, and I can see her often.”

"and after?"

"There was no later. My heart is at peace. No one can compare to her in my memory, not even the current her."

"But to be fair, Chen Duling is still very beautiful!"

"Indeed, Chen Duling is really beautiful, just like my senior in college."

"Pretty, isn't she? She died a terrible death; and she was pregnant with a child, Qi Hui's child."

"Aaaaaah! You devil! Why did you have to bring this up?"

"When I saw Li Muzi's body, my heart was torn apart, I was in excruciating pain!"

"Me too, it feels just like when I saw Xiaolongnu being defiled by Yin Zhiping, sob sob sob... Sisi, my Sisi!"

"Damn it, don't bring this up!"

"Hey upstairs, where are you? I'm trying to bring you some local specialties!"

"Me too, I also have local specialties I'd like to give away!"

"Tell me right now, where the hell are you? Damn it!"

"..."

Qi Hui chuckled at this; as expected of a silly netizen, they bring so much joy.

ding dong~
Before the thought had even subsided, a message popped up on the screen:

Lu Yang: Damn, Senior Brother broke 1 billion! It's already broken 1 billion!?

When "Brotherhood of Blades" was released, he eagerly hoped that the box office would reach 1 billion.

Even after it's taken off the screens, it'll still be a long way from reaching its target.

And now, Qi Hui has already broken the billion mark in just a few days!

What senior brother? You're not my senior brother... Lu Yang gritted his teeth, his envy so intense it made him look like a ghost.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key." Qi Hui quickly sent a message: "It's just a billion yuan in box office revenue, right? Can't anyone in our group get one?"

Wu Jing: Forgive my bluntness, but Lao Lu really didn't manage to get it.

Guo Fan: "Hehe..."

Lu Yang: "..."

He was injured and didn't want to talk.

Lu Yang: Hey guys, what have you been up to lately?

He started to change the subject, asking about other things.

We have to move them; these ones are specifically targeting the sore spots.

If we don't hurry, they might make fun of us like Lu Chuan.

Qi Hui: Spend time with my wife.

Guo Fan: Spending time with my wife and working on the script.

Wu Jing: Me too!

Wu Jing was referring to scriptwriting.

He's currently doing a roadshow, and Xie Nan isn't here.

Lu Yang: What a coincidence, me too. Wu Jing: How far have you gotten, Lao Lu?

He remembered Lu Yang mentioning this, in the prequel to "Brotherhood of Blades".

"Almost done," Lu Yang replied. "Just created a new folder."

I had almost finished writing it, but as I continued writing, I felt something was wrong, so I deleted it and rewrote it.

"Huh?" Wu Jing perked up, finally realizing it wasn't because he had just created the folder: "Mine is almost done."

"@Qi Hui, remember to reserve your slot for me next year, let's continue with 'Wolf Warrior 2'."

Qi Hui: Then you'll be disappointed, I'm not available next year.

"What?" Wu Jing was shocked and jumped out of bed in the hotel room.

This is no small matter. He's a major male lead, and he's just gone?!

"I've drafted a script, about the Navy's Jiaolong Commando Unit," Qi Hui continued sending messages.

"The Navy seems to be doing well and agrees to support it."

"I will try my best to see if I can get command of the Type 052D destroyer."

Tang Jing said that the Navy Political Department was indeed willing to provide support, but they would need to see the complete script before deciding on the level of support to provide.

Qi Hui's script is not yet finished; it's only one-third complete.

Everything will have to wait until Qi Hui finishes the entire script.

Wu Jing: Holy crap?!

Lu Yang: Holy crap?

Guo Fan: Holy crap?

The three brothers turned into a broken record, repeating the same thing over and over.

There's no way around it; the first Type 052D destroyer was commissioned last year, so this thing is definitely the latest equipment.

Who wouldn't want that?
After realizing what was happening, Wu Jing was truly terrified: "What about 'Wolf Warrior 2'?"

“Easy,” Qi Hui replied immediately. “You act it out yourself.”

"Wasn't Wolf Warrior originally a movie you directed and starred in?"

Qi Hui doesn't plan to act in "Wolf Warrior 2" for two reasons: firstly, because of the popularity of "Operation Red Sea," and secondly, because he's not interested in Black people.

Wu Jing remained silent for a while. Despite his words, he was still somewhat uncertain. The sudden change was hard for him to accept.

"I was caught off guard," Wu Jing texted. "Now that you're not playing Leng Feng anymore, I don't even know how to begin the story."

He himself didn't appear in "Wolf Warrior 1", making it difficult for him to get into the story.

I should have made a cameo appearance back then.

"It's simple, just make a prequel, like Old Lu did," Qi Hui suggested.

"Or start with Long Xiaoyun, since you are Long Xiaoyun's boyfriend."

Anyway, in "Wolf Warrior 1", the romantic scenes between Leng Feng and Long Xiaoyun were cut by him.

She and Leng Feng are not a couple.

It's normal for Long Xiaoyun to have a boyfriend now, right?
Upon seeing the message on the screen, Wu Jing's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled out his notebook to write it down.

Then...then he remembered that the chat history could be viewed at any time.

No need to remember!
"Old Qi, you're a genius!" Wu Jing exclaimed, slamming his hand on the table in admiration.

"It's nothing, you just can't remember right now." Qi Hui didn't think it was a big deal. If he really wanted to get into the story, there were plenty of ways.

For example, the protagonist is Yu Fei's older brother, who sacrificed himself because of being a mercenary, and the vice-captain Shao Bing's younger brother.

However, from the audience's perspective, Long Xiaoyun is still the best choice.

Because Long Xiaoyun is the only female character in "Wolf 1", she is the one that viewers can easily remember besides the protagonist Leng Feng.

Lu Yang: Lao Guo, what about you?

Guo Fan: There is no script yet, and there are no new folders created.

He wanted to work on science fiction, but didn't know where to start.

"Hahahaha..." Lu Yang didn't hold back his mockery.

……

Imperial Capital
In a bar with flashing lights of various colors

"Brother Feng, why haven't I seen you promoting the new movie?"

Li Yifeng took a swig of wine and said with a sneer, "It has nothing to do with me."

What can Wu do if the director promotes him and signs him up?
Even if he played Feng Xiaogang's son, it wouldn't be enough.

"I think it's 'Missing Her' that's blocking our way," the younger brother suggested. "How about we find a way to make things difficult for that movie?"

Li Yifeng paused for a moment, then took another swig of wine, his mind starting to race.

He certainly wouldn't dare to confront Qi Hui head-on, but he could certainly do something behind the scenes.

Keep your hands and feet clean, you should be fine...

If all else fails, you can give the director your suggestions and let him take charge!

"Let's go have some fun!" Li Yifeng stood up and shouted. He was a little tipsy from drinking. "My treat!"

Find some fun; maybe it will sober you up.
