Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 579 Man chooses the path of the wolf, but the wolf has already chosen the national road!

Immediately, Qi Hui chuckled and said, "A military action movie."

"It's related to the Navy... um, the Marine Corps."

"Is it an original script like 'Wolf Warrior'?" Wang Changtian asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

The problem hits the nail on the head.

"No, not at all." Qi Hui shook his head and smiled. "It's based on a true story, um, the evacuation of overseas Chinese at the beginning of the year."

"Tsk..." Wang Changtian raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face: "That scene was quite large!"

"What did the Navy say?"

Wang Changtian knew very well that without the Navy's approval, this type of film simply couldn't be made.

"It's still under study," Qi Hui said with a smile. "We're focused on this side, and the initial investment is set at 6 million."

Looking at Qi Hui, Wang Changtian's expression of surprise remained undisguised.

This is quite a large sum!

"Mr. Wang, would you like to place a bet too?" Qi Hui asked with a soft laugh.

"How to say?"

"We invested in three through Yixin, and one through iQiyi," Qi Hui said. "As for the remaining two, what do you think..."

“Ahem…then I’ll cast one too.” Wang Changtian said immediately, as if Qi Hui wanted him to cover all the bets.

Their resources are decent, but investing 100 million would be difficult.

However, Qi Hui's current momentum makes him worth investing in.

Moreover, it's a military drama, which Qi Hui excels at. As long as the Navy provides support, they will have no objections.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui smiled and said, "Then it's settled."

“Of course.” Wang Changtian raised his fist.

Qi Hui was slightly taken aback, then raised his fist and bumped it with his.

Having reached a consensus, Wang Changtian laughed heartily and left satisfied.

Qi Hui shrugged and turned to go find Jing Tian.

But then, he turned around too suddenly and accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ok!"

"Hmph...yo!"

The two groaned and almost fell over.

Qi Hui looked closely and realized it wasn't a woman, but a man.

This gave him a slight sense of relief.

"Are you alright...?" Qi Hui asked, noticing that the other person hadn't fallen.

But before he could finish speaking, a voice sounded in his mind.

Hey~
[The host has contacted actress Xu Yajun and gained two chances to draw a prize. Would you like to draw a prize now?]

Twice... Qi Hui's eyebrows twitched slightly, then he silently chanted in his heart: "Draw!"

[Congratulations, host, you have gained +30 to Acting Skills and +30 to Charm.]

"..." This time, Qi Hui was genuinely surprised.

"It's nothing." The baritone voice interrupted Qi Hui's thoughts. Xu Yajun looked at Qi Hui and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

"What are you saying, Teacher Xu?" Qi Hui quickly waved his hand, "I was just not paying attention when I turned around."

This person is Xu Yajun, a prime example of someone whose acting is popular but who isn't. However, his ex-wife is He Qing.

She played Xiao Qiao in the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lianlian, the young girl who was the incarnation of Lingji Bodhisattva, in the old version of "Journey to the West", and Qin Keqing in the movie version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

She also played Li Shishi in the old version of "Water Margin".

He Qing, a woman who has acted in all four classic Chinese novels, is known as the "classic novel harvester".

To be honest, Qi Hui was quite envious of Xu Yajun; she ate so well!
Of course, a few years later, Xu Yajun, who was famous for his role but not for himself, became famous because he played a very interesting character: Qi Tongwei!

Neither Qi Hui nor Xu Yajun were injured in the collision. They exchanged a few words and then went their separate ways.

Watching Xu Yajun leave, Qi Hui shrugged. No wonder he could get +30 charm; it turns out he was from Old Hall Qi.

Qi Hui didn't take it to heart and quickly found Jing Tian and Gao Yuanyuan.

A voice rang out in the hall, calling for the guests to sit down, as the awards ceremony was about to begin.

Soon, the somewhat chaotic venue gradually became orderly, and each guest sat in their respective seats.

Unless there are special circumstances, no one will deliberately change seats.

That would be somewhat impolite.

Soon, two hosts appeared, and the awards ceremony officially began.

The first category to be awarded is the technical category, which includes behind-the-scenes awards such as editing and art direction.

"The Vanished She" was nominated for two awards: Best Art Direction and Best Editing.

Unfortunately, neither of them won an award.

The Best Editing award went to "The Taking of Tiger Mountain," while the Best Art Direction award went to "Wolf Totem." Hmm... to be honest, both the film and the original novel feel a bit off.

It looks weird.

I won't go into the details, everyone has their own opinion.

Qi Hui's assessment has a strong flavor of public intellectualism!
It glorifies nomadic life, denigrates agriculture, and the director is French.

Qi Hui glanced at the other party, but didn't manage to activate the [French] skill.

He was a little curious whether the French phrase "a swift attack to capture Paris" was pronounced as "the Maginot Line."

In addition, the movie's promotion was a bit strange, mainly focusing on the fact that they used real wolves in the filming.

Furthermore, it has been repeatedly stated that wolves are proud, unyielding, and can never be tamed.

They can only guide the filmmakers.

The most striking example is that humans will never see wolves in a circus.

That sounds plausible.

But Qi Hui was a time traveler, so he knew very well what that Egg Yolk Pie Wolf was like.

Goodness... it ate so much egg yolk pie that its little belly is sticking out.

Youth has no price, and egg yolk pie melts in your mouth!

Humans are still choosing the wolf's path, while wolves have already chosen the national highway!

Seeing the promotional strategy and focus of "Wolf Totem" now, Qi Hui just finds it funny.

He actually believed such nonsense before... He really suffered from his lack of education!
The awards ceremony continued, with "12 Citizens" taking home the Best Adapted Screenplay award.

It's the one adapted from "12 Angry Men".

Soon, the award ceremony for the supporting actor began.

Zhang Yi won the Best Supporting Actor award for his film "Dearest".

This is a movie about combating child trafficking, starring Huang Bo and Zhao Wei.

The movie is pretty good, but Zhao Wei's presence adds a touch of commercialism to it.

The only drawback is that...

Soon, it will be time for Best Supporting Actress.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel nervous, as she was competing against Ding Jiali in "The Golden Era," a biographical love story film.

Mei Ting's "Blind Massage" is a work by Lou Ye, a sixth-generation director.

To be honest, Qi Hui was a little surprised that this director, who specializes in making banned films, actually had a film submitted for an award?

Rumor has it that Deng Chao and Hao Lei broke up because the latter went on to film Lou Ye's movie... tsk tsk.

In addition, there is Chen Jin's "Chrysanthemums in the Sky".

You might not be familiar with the name Chen Jin, but you'll recognize her from one of her roles:
The Three-Body Problem, Commander-in-Chief!
In addition, there is Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's "Coming Home", in which Zhang Huiwen is competing for the supporting actress role.

The award presenters went on stage, and the hostesses brought out the trophies and certificates.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but tense up, her fingers unconsciously clenching.

Despite having been in the industry for many years, she has never won a single acting award.

She didn't win any acting awards, not even for movies or television dramas.

Even his representative work, "Let's Get Married," didn't win a single award!
The only decent thing was that she was nominated for Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards a couple of years ago.

But at the Hong Kong Film Awards, as those in the know understand, she failed unsurprisingly.

"The winner of this year's Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress is..." the presenter drawled, smiling slowly.
"Gao Yuanyuan, 'The Vanished Her'!"

Gao Yuanyuan tensed up, then was suddenly overjoyed.

Applause erupted in the hall as Gao Yuanyuan slowly walked onto the stage to accept her award, offering her usual words of thanks.

Thank you, director; thank you, Qi Hui; and also, thank you, Jing Tian.

We can't not thank her, what if Jing Tian gets angry?

It's best not to cause trouble now that you've finally received the award.

Amid applause, Gao Yuanyuan won her first major performance award.

His face beamed with uncontrollable joy as he examined the trophy with obvious delight.

Jing Tian found it amusing; she felt the same way when she first won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress.

Soon, the Best Actress award ceremony began.

The competitors are all quite accomplished, including Tang Wei, who starred in "The Golden Era," and Zhao Wei, who starred in "Dearest."

Xu Fan, the lead actress in "My Foreign Girlfriend," is Feng Xiaogang's wife.
Lü Zhong, who starred in "The Intruder," is the same actress who played Wu Zetian in "Detective Dee."

In addition, there is Jing Tian.

"The winner of this year's Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress is..." The presenter dragged out the announcement, deliberately creating suspense once again.

On the big screen, images of Jing Tian and the other five candidates were shown one by one.
