Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 587 The underwear wasn't bought by her, so she had no excuse to take it off for the time being.
"Well..." Qi Hui slumped onto the sofa, recalling the trailer for "Unexpectedly" he had seen not long ago, and slowly said:
"I don't think so."

"Huh?" Jing Tian asked in surprise, sitting down next to Qi Hui and then leaning against him. "Why?"

As she spoke, she tossed aside the tablet, rested her head on Qi Hui's shoulder, wrapped her arms around his waist, and skillfully stroked his angular abdominal muscles.

"Hiss..." Qi Hui shivered. This girl's hands and feet were always a bit cold in winter, and it didn't feel good that she suddenly pressed against him like this.

However, her little ears were soft and warm.

Qi Hui squeezed her arm and continued, "The protagonist of this movie is Wang Dachui, the male lead of 'Unexpectedly,' and then it somewhat awkwardly incorporates the story of 'Journey to the West' as its background."

"This raises the question: how do we balance the roles and functions of the main characters, Wang Dachui and Sun Wukong, in the story?"

"And what about Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing? What are their roles?"

“Uh…” Jing Tian was stunned. What he said made sense!
"Why not just marginalize Sun Wukong and the others?" Jing Tian said.

"If the goal is to marginalize them, then what is the purpose of designing the story background as 'Journey to the West'?" Qi Hui asked a thought-provoking question.

"This..." Jing Tian was speechless.

"So, we shouldn't have been associated with 'Journey to the West' in the first place?" Jing Tian pondered for a moment before continuing.

"As I understand it, it is like this." Qi Hui nodded slowly. This is a story of a little monster defeating a great demon king and becoming a hero.

Sun Wukong's role was essentially that of a mentor.

As for the remaining Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, they were basically just there for show, serving as the atmosphere-building element.

In this situation, all content related to "Journey to the West" could be deleted without affecting the story's development.

Just like in "Special Identity," even if all of Jing Tian's scenes were cut, it wouldn't affect the overall development of the story.

"So, this movie has a big problem?" Jing Tian said, unaware of Qi Hui's inner thoughts, and continued to follow Qi Hui's train of thought:
"Does that mean the film company's hoped-for billion-yuan box office is now hopeless?"

"It depends on the situation; there's no guarantee." Qi Hui didn't give a definitive answer, after all, "From Vegas to Macau" had such high box office numbers.

It's perfectly reasonable for "Unexpected" to have a higher box office!

"What about 'Detective Chinatown'?" Jing Tian asked. Chen Sicheng's movies were approached by them for investment when they were filming "Glorious Times".

The reason it took so long was that Wang Baoqiang was injured just before filming was about to begin, and Chen Sicheng had to wait for a while.

Qi Hui invested ten million with them at that time.

The cost of this movie is similar to that of "Gone Girl," also around 80 million.

The box office of "Detective Chinatown" was quite promising, and with permission, Qi Hui was used as another promotional figure.

When promoting the film, it was mentioned that it was a film invested in by Qi Hui.

However... the focus of that program wasn't actually on Qi Hui's investment, but rather on Chen Sicheng's meaningful expression regarding Wang Baoqiang's family affairs.

When she watched that show, she was a little curious. Wasn't it supposed to be a brotherhood?
Why would Chen Sicheng, as a brother, react with that expression to Wang Baoqiang's comments about family?

Jing Tian was somewhat puzzled, but the producers of "Detective Chinatown" recommended a video online of Chen Sicheng talking about Qi Hui on an interview program.

This promotional campaign was very effective, and "Detective Chinatown" quickly became a hit.

Chen Sicheng was quite shrewd; he didn't place too much hope on Qi Hui and kept things brief.

Qi Hui was quite satisfied with this; as expected of Cheng Cai, he was indeed sensible.

"Detective Chinatown...it should be pretty good, right?" Qi Hui thought for a moment and commented:

"Setting the story abroad gives us a lot more creative freedom."

"Oh, I see..." Jing Tian suddenly realized, then giggled, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

After chatting for so long, my hands are almost warm now.

"Uh... what's wrong?" Qi Hui was completely confused.

"It's nothing~ Isn't it almost Chinese New Year?" Jing Tian chuckled. "I'm just thinking of getting you some new clothes."

“Our walk-in closet is almost full…” Qi Hui said speechlessly. “No problem, just tear down the walk-in closet and expand it a bit, right?” Jing Tian laughed, “Take off your clothes quickly, let me see the styles.”

As she spoke, her hands roamed over Qi Hui's body.

Before Qi Hui could react, his shirt was gone.

Jing Tian picked up the clothes, looked them up and down, and said without looking up, "You still have pants, take them off too."

Qi Hui, without suspecting anything, quickly took off his pants.

However, to everyone's surprise, Jing Tian threw off her shirt and pants and hugged Qi Hui, who was only wearing a pair of underwear:

"Hehehe... It's only just gotten dark, and you're already taking off your clothes to sleep?"

She hadn't bought the underwear, so she didn't have an excuse to make Qi Hui take it off.

Qi Hui: “…”

It is impossible to guard against it!
"Come on, come into the house with me!"

As she spoke, she pulled Qi Hui towards the bedroom.

……

The TV drama market is just as hot as the movie market. The TV series "The Disguiser" just ended its run a few days ago.

The TV series achieved remarkable results, with a national viewership rating of 3.02% and a market share of 9.01%, breaking the record for the highest viewership in the history of spy dramas.

During its broadcast, it held the top spot in viewership ratings for 21 consecutive days; the finale garnered a total of 28 billion views.

This drama made Xiao Zhang, Lao Ling, and another lead actor, Wang Kai, extremely popular.

Originally, Enlight Media, Berna, and iQiyi had some reservations about Qi Hui casting Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang as some of the main actors in "Operation Red Sea".

Given Qi Hui's dominant position in the project, the three investors remained silent.

But not saying it doesn't mean they don't have opinions; they're all keeping them to themselves.

Although Xiao Zhang and Lao Ling have a good past, they have many other candidates who are perfectly capable of handling the job!
But these thoughts completely vanished with the success of the finale of "The Disguiser".

Enlight Media and the other two companies have also rediscovered Zhang and Ling's achievements in film.

Xiao Zhang is a leading man with a 2 billion yuan budget, right?

Old Ling is no slouch either. His starring role in "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" firmly held the top spot in the National Day box office that year, and no one could shake it, right?

With the conclusion of "The Disguiser," no other web series has been able to rival "Si Teng" in the online drama market.

Soon, "Si Teng" topped the charts one after another, almost taking over the top spot from "The Disguiser" on various charts.

Of course... not all of them can be accepted.

"The Disguiser" is a TV series that can be broadcast on satellite TV, while "Si Teng" is simply a web series.

There are some lists that you just can't get onto.

With the conclusion of "The Disguiser," "Si Teng" had no rivals left and began to dominate the online drama market.

At this time, Yunnan Province's cultural and tourism sector added fuel to the fire.

In the TV series "Si Teng", at the end of each episode, the Yunnan Provincial Government is thanked for its support.

Previously, nobody watched or cared, but with Yunnan Province's cultural and tourism promotion, it suddenly gained popularity.

Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism has positioned "Siteng" as a "Yunnan Provincial Tourism Promotional Video," calling on netizens to travel to Yunnan Province and experience the beauty of Siteng firsthand.

Meanwhile, Yunnan provincial official media used the drama "Si Teng" to vigorously promote the scenic spots featured in the show, such as Dali Ancient City and Pudacuo National Park.

Isn't their support for the filming of "Si Teng" precisely for the sake of current cultural tourism promotion?

With the popularity of the TV series "Sito", tourism in Yunnan Province has gradually become more popular.
