Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 582 Focus your energy on your work!
About ten minutes later.

Qi Hui slowly left with a box of tea given to him by Wang Zongjun.

Huayi definitely gained nothing from this meeting.

With the funding for "Operation Red Sea" secured, even if Huayi wanted to offer money, Qi Hui couldn't accept it.

However, the trip wasn't entirely fruitless; Qi Hui did get a box of decent tea.
I'll take it back and put it in Yixin's reception room to entertain guests.

To avoid Jing Tian always serving green tea to guests... Qi Hui suddenly thought of the scene a few days ago when Liu Yifei and Yang Mi gathered together.

Huayi Nei

Watching Qi Hui leave, Wang Zonglei and Wang Zongjun were heartbroken and could hardly breathe.

They didn't get to invest in Qi Hui's project, but Yu Donggua beat them to it?!

"Damn it! That damned Yu Donggua!" Wang Zonglei exclaimed, jumping up and down. "He actually beat me to it!"

Wang Zongjun lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it. He wasn't smoking a cigarette, but rather a cigarette filled with melancholy.

Huayi Brothers' actions were actually quite fast; they obtained the script outline as soon as the script passed the review.

After reviewing the documents, a decision was quickly made; the 100 million yuan investment was finalized in just a few meetings.

But who would have thought that Wang Changtian and Yu Dong would act like lunatics, submitting the script without even reading it!

Aren't they afraid of failing miserably?

What if Qi Hui uses this money to make adult films... cough cough, it's unlikely, but there's still some uncertainty!

So, what's going on with these two? Did they just gamble away a hundred million with their eyes closed?
Wang Zongjun took a puff of his cigarette... They have been working closely with Qi Hui on these projects.

Although they were often amazed by Qi Hui's achievements, they did not notice any change in his status.

While Hua Yi was still viewing Qi Hui with the same old perspective, in the eyes of others, Qi Hui was already a highly sought-after person.

It's ridiculous that they actually thought they had the upper hand!
Having figured this out, Wang Zongjun was truly melancholy and depressed.

"Brother, what do we do?" Wang Zonglei pressed.

Seeing my peers make money, especially Bernard, is worse than killing him!
Wang Zongjun: "..."

"Big brother, say something!"

"Say no to you!" Wang Zongjun was furious and almost lost his temper, nearly beating his stupid younger brother.

……

In the villa

The heating is on, it's warm and cozy, very comfortable.

But Jing Tian turned down the heat and then snuggled into Qi Hui's arms.

"Hmm~" She snuggled up to Qi Hui, smiling brightly: "Darling, you hee hee hee... you smell so bad, but you smell so good too."

"It smells both bad and good, how strange!"

Jing Tian kept rubbing against Qi Hui's neck, reluctant to let go.

From an olfactory perspective, Qi Hui smelled bad, unlike those pleasant perfumes, and even quite different.

But from a feeling perspective, she didn't dislike the smell at all; on the contrary, the more she smelled it, the more she was drawn to it, wanting to stick close and rub against it.

"..." Looking at the giant koala on his body, Qi Hui was speechless.

He has been undergoing military training these past few days. Although it is already winter and the weather is cold, he can't stop sweating as soon as physical training begins.

As soon as he got home, Qi Hui could only rush to take a shower.

But as soon as I finished washing her, this girl stuck to me.

Qi Hui had no choice but to let Jing Tian continue.

Anyway, this isn't the first or second time she's acted like a tyrant towards me, so let her be.

She bought all the clothes she was wearing, so what's wrong with her taking off the clothes she bought?
Isn't that perfectly reasonable?
As he spoke, Qi Hui took out his phone and started playing with it.

Training continues tomorrow, so I can't be frivolous; I can only use my phone.

Once you gradually get used to the intensity, it'll be about right.

His training with Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang was just for acting, not for actually fighting like the army.

Jing Tian lay on Qi Hui's shoulder, occasionally playing with Qi Hui's hair. How come he looks good with any hairstyle?

Qi Hui was searching for information about several actors.

The decision to select the remaining main actors was given to the three investors, who also received the script.

The other three investors were delighted that Qi Hui had given them the right to choose actors, and they immediately each gave their own choices.

Bernard recommended Wang Yanlin based on the script.

An actor from Northeast China, with a fairly robust physique and a rugged demeanor, would be well-suited to playing a soldier.

Qi Hui looked him up and down and quickly realized that this was Luo Xing from the original "Operation Red Sea".
That sniper in the helicopter!
Qi Hui expressed his approval of the actor.

On the other hand, the cast included a somewhat unexpected actor: Bai Ke, the stoic protagonist from "Unexpectedly," the one with flames in his left hand and ice in his right.

Bai Ke is his stage name; his real surname is Luo.

Initially, Qi Hui intended to reject the idea, since it was an abstract comedic actor.

Operation Red Sea is a serious, patriotic film, so it's a bit odd to have such an abstract, comedic character appear in it.

But upon further reflection, Qi Hui suppressed the thought.

Bai Ke can be funny, but he can also handle serious topics.

In "Asking the Vastness," he played an old general, portraying a veteran from the Whampoa Military Academy era.

The veterans weren't very old back then; at least they still had hair.

The effect is also very good.

After some thought, Qi Hui decided to keep him around to see if he could act well.

If all else fails, there are backup options, such as Huang Jinyu.

Meanwhile, iQiyi also recommended a candidate.

However, the choice of this person... is a bit complicated.

Yang Yang was recommended because the actor is a graduate of the PLA National Defense University.

Although she graduated from the dance program at the Military Culture Academy, she still holds a semi-military status.

Qi Hui directly rejected it!

Then, they went to the Central Academy of Drama and selected a young actor with a strong physique and masculine temperament.

iQiyi was somewhat annoyed and dissatisfied with this.

Yang Yang has such a high profile and is so popular, she's definitely a big influencer!

With Li and Wu both falling from grace recently, Yang Yang now occupies the commanding position in the young male idol ecosystem.

That's a huge amount of traffic and popularity!

Why was it rejected outright?
However, before Qi Hui could even make a move, Gong Yu suppressed the situation on his own.

In short, I can't control Qi Hui, but I can control the Navy.

Since you feel something is wrong, then go and report it to the Navy!
Upon hearing this, several vice presidents within iQiyi immediately shut their mouths and said no more.

Gong Yu was somewhat displeased and told them to focus their energy on "Si Teng".

Now that "Si Teng" is about to premiere, it perfectly fills the gap left by the Li Yifeng and Yang Yang version of "The Lost Tomb" which was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances some time ago.

So don't let your mind wander; focus your energy on your work!
Several vice presidents whispered among themselves, some of them harboring ulterior motives, wanting to tamper with "Sito".

But Gong Yu also suppressed these vile acts.

He personally took charge and oversaw the launch of "Sito".

iQiyi seems to be making great strides right now, but this could be a sudden change. Is "The Lost Tomb" gone?

Now, some of their strength is waning, and they appear strong on the outside but are actually weak on the inside.

"Si Teng" is their hope for iQiyi's resurgence, and Gong Yu will not allow anyone to cause trouble.

Under Gong Yu's personal supervision, the launch of "Si Teng" proceeded smoothly.

A few days later

The long-awaited drama "Si Teng" has finally premiered on iQiyi!

……

In the villa

Jing Tian hugged Qi Hui and sat down on the sofa together.

The internet TV hanging on the wall slowly began to play.

"Sito" has finally premiered!

"Hehehe~~ Hug me!" Jing Tian snuggled up to Qi Hui and reached out her arms.

"Alright, alright..." Qi Hui sighed and hugged the girl tightly.

She sat on Qi Hui's lap, watching the newly premiered drama "Si Teng" with him.

"She doesn't resemble Queen Siteng at all." Qi Hui chuckled, pinching the girl's cheek.

"Hmph... I have no interest in being a queen!" Jing Tian snorted, too tired: "It's more comfortable to lie down."

"Really?" Qi Hui asked in surprise, "Then why were you wearing that specially made cheongsam on me before..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jing Tian blushed and covered Qi Hui's mouth with her hand.

Hey, you'd better get a beating!
