Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 568 The Disguiser Premieres, Golden Horse Awards Ceremony

Oh... I see. How could you not be happy when you're with someone you like?

Qi Hui patted her little head, then counted the days, finding it amusing that this girl might not be so good-tempered in a few days.

I picked up the remote and tuned it to Zhejiang TV.

Not long after, the opening theme of "The Disguiser" lit up on the TV screen, and the opening song played slowly.

Soon, the main feature began.

First comes a simple introduction to the story's background, followed by the location: Shanghai in 1939.

Then come the characters.

However, the first character to appear was neither the protagonist Xiao Zhang nor the eldest son of the Ming family played by Lao Ling.

Instead, it's Wang Manchun, played by Tang Yifei, a female spy.

With his 1930s hairstyle and dark brown Zhongshan suit, he looked quite dashing.

The only downside is that the lipstick is too bright, which is far removed from the image of a real intelligence agent.

However, she portrayed a glamorous female spy, which is understandable.

Speaking of which, Tang Yifei has played similar roles before.

In "The Legend of Chen Zhen", she played a ruthless Japanese female spy.

In that drama, she was attracted to the protagonist Chen Zhen's rival, a Japanese samurai.

But the Japanese samurai didn't like her; he liked a Chinese female student.

In the end, it seems like the female spy played by Tang Yifei committed suicide?

Qi Hui tried to recall, but couldn't remember. However, since the show was made, if he really wanted to know, he could just watch the old episodes.

Dong Jie played the lead role in that drama; Dong Jie is quite beautiful.

However... Qi Hui recalled Dong Jie and Jing Tian in the same frame.

On that ship, Dong Jie, with her dark skin, made Jing Tian appear incredibly fair-skinned and beautiful, like a fairy.

He shook his head for Dong Jie, saying, "Why are you standing with Jing Tian for no reason?"
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, a series of gunshots drew Qi Hui's attention to the television screen.

The gunfight broke out less than three minutes into the series.

I have to say, the pace is pretty fast.

Tang Yifei's character, Wang Manchun, uncovers the Kuomintang agents lurking in the 76th Division, and also exposes an unknown hidden force.

The ruthless woman first subjected the victims to severe torture, and after obtaining the information she wanted, she personally executed all the opposing forces.

Soon, the camera focused on the second and eldest sons of the Ming family.

Wang Kai plays Ming Cheng, and Lao Ling plays Ming Lou. Both of them are members of the Military Intelligence Bureau and are even superior and subordinate to each other.

Not long after, Xiao Zhang's character, Mingtai, also appeared on the plane.

He was going to study on Hong Kong Island, but it turned out that he wasn't the only one on the plane; there were also people from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

He meddles in other people's business, and then he catches the eye of Wang Tianfeng, played by Liu Yijun, and is conscripted and directly dragged into a spy school to study.

It has to be said, this method is truly despicable.

This is how Chiang Kai-shek recruited soldiers, and it's the same way he trained spies.

Qi Hui chuckled, recalling his roommate's teasing during their time on online politics. The roommate had said that when he was a child, his parents had told him stories of how bald men were mocked.
In his youth, he mocked bald men based on his own understanding.

When I'm middle-aged in the future, I'll drink with my friends and laugh at my bald head.

When I get old, I'll laugh at my bald head to my son and grandson.

Even after I'm buried, I want to find the bald guy and laugh at him to his face.
The main theme is staying true to our original aspirations!
On the screen, the meddlesome Mingtai is drugged and then taken to a military academy.

Wang Tianfeng first set rules for him, then raised a banner and talked about saving the country and the people.

Being a passionate young man, he was easily fooled.

I must say, Zhang's face is perfect for playing passionate young men and students; it's like he's playing himself.

Before long, an episode of the TV series ended.

Jing Tian seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

Qi Hui stroked his chin: "How do you feel?"

"It's pretty good." Jing Tian thought for a moment and replied, "The main storyline is clear, and the characters are well-developed."

"And they're all handsome men and beautiful women, so the audience should like them."

At this point, Jing Tian paused, then chuckled and said, "A Noon production is bound to be a masterpiece." Recently, all sorts of terrible dramas and movies have been popping up like crazy; singers, dancers... no matter what they do, they're all jumping into acting.

The market is in chaos.

This is why the midday sun not only looks conspicuous, but it can even be quite glaring.

Hopefully they can hold on and avoid trouble from their competitors.

……

The next day

The ratings for "The Disguiser" are out: 1.36% in offline viewership and 1.89% online viewership.
On its first day of broadcast, it soared to the top of the ratings charts, setting a new record for the highest viewership of a spy drama, making it a phenomenal hit.

Unsurprisingly, this show became a hit!

Xiao Zhang, Lao Ling, and the four siblings from the Ming family are all about to become famous.

Many people have also started to notice Liu Mintao. At first glance, she doesn't seem like much, but the more you look at her, the more charming she becomes. Moreover, the slit in her cheongsam is quite high.

This face looks somewhat familiar, but no one can quite place it.

But upon closer inspection, isn't this Consort Jing from "Nirvana in Fire," the birth mother of Prince Jing?
Are they playing siblings instead of mother and son this time?

You know what, I almost didn't notice.

"As expected, Noon Sunshine's dramas are popular again..." Yang Mi sighed slightly and decided to keep a close eye on Noon Sunshine from now on.

Let's see if we can borrow Qi Hui's name and play a few roles.

Noon Sunshine doesn't mind generating buzz. She's famous and has acting skills. Using Qi Hui's reputation as a stepping stone, they should be able to maintain a long-term collaboration.

It's one thing to lose to Jing Tian in movies, but surely we can't lose to her in TV dramas too?
……

A few days later

Qi Hui, Lu Yang, Lao Ling, Xiao Zhang, Zhou Yiwei, and Zhao Wenzhuo boarded a plane bound for Taiwan.

All expenses will be paid by Young Master Lu!
Anyway, he's a rich man; "Brotherhood of Blades" made him a lot of money!

Upon landing in Taipei, not only Lu Yang, but also Qi Hui, Lao Ling, and the others were quite curious, constantly looking left and right.

To be fair, the architecture here, in various styles, feels quite retro.

Although not very obvious, the style from around the millennium is still faintly visible.

Zhao Wenzhuo didn't react much to these things; he used to come here often.

Back then, he was a big shot in Hong Kong, and even his girlfriend was Anita Mui.

"Sigh..." Thinking of this, Zhao Wenzhuo couldn't help but sigh, recalling the glorious and eventful years of the past.

I was so young when I was young...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet event began... It should be called the Avenue of Stars!

Walking the red carpet is so tacky!

Hosts Yang Qianpei and Yang Dajing enthusiastically introduced numerous celebrities from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Not only celebrities from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, but also many foreign celebrities, such as Ha Ji-won from South Korea and Satoshi Tsumabuki from Japan.

Besides these, there are also those who bring their entire film crews, such as those from "Thanatos, Drunk" and "Our Times".

It looked great, a truly magnificent sight, but unfortunately the weather turned bad and it rained.

Qi Hui had no interest in walking the red carpet and quickly entered the venue with an umbrella.

Originally, Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang wanted to persevere a little longer, but seeing that Lu Yang, Zhao Wenzhuo, and Zhou Yiwei were also following Qi Hui in a similar manner, they simply decided not to leave.

It's raining, which is really not good.

Although Qi Hui and the others didn't leave, the female celebrities wouldn't give up. Hei Ze... well, she's still Lin Zhiling now, wearing a black strapless dress, looking absolutely stunning.

Lin Zhiling is not only a female celebrity attending the ceremony, but also one of the hosts of the awards ceremony later.

"We are a family!"

Suddenly, an excited shout rang out on the red carpet.

Qi Hui and the others turned around and saw that it was Deng Chao, who kept blowing kisses to the fans watching.

"..."

It must be said that Old Deng is quite energetic.
