Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 588 I have never seen such a shameless person!
"Wow! I thought it was special effects, but it turned out to be real footage!"

Does such a view really exist?

"Exactly, even if such a place exists, it's in America, right?"

"Idiot, there's no beautiful scenery in America!"

"Yes, but it was burned down by fire, wasn't it?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"You ignorant fool! If you had read a book properly, you wouldn't ask such a question. Don't you know that China is a vast country with every type of terrain on Earth, except for fjords!"

"No way, I absolutely have to go on vacation during my annual leave!"

"I originally wanted to go to Hainan Province to see the Mosa Lighthouse, but now I want to go to Yunnan Province and Dali. It's so hard to choose!"

"There really is a Mosa Lighthouse?"

"There is a lighthouse, but it's not called Mosa Lighthouse."

"..."

The actions taken by Yunnan Province's cultural and tourism sector have sparked heated discussions online.
Thanks to the promotion of Yunnan Province's cultural tourism, "Si Teng" once again became a trending topic on Weibo, attracting much discussion.

Qi Hui smiled. Free publicity... Yunnan Province really kept its word.

Now, "Sito" is bound to be a hit!

Qi Hui patted Jing Tian's head and chuckled.

This year, she has had several works released and broadcast, including "Mojin: The Lost Legend", "Nirvana in Fire", "The Vanished", and "Si Teng", in addition to the support of the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress.

Jing Tian is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after female celebrities in China right now.

The "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses are nowhere near as famous as her!

Of course, Jing Tian is still slightly inferior in the acting career.

Zhou Xun, a three-time Golden Horse Award winner, is someone Jing Tian can't compare to.

"Yunnan Province is working so hard on its cultural and tourism sector..." Jing Tian said, somewhat shocked, as she looked at the information online.

"That's not surprising. The cultural and tourism sector in Hainan Province was in the same situation when 'The Vanished' was released," Qi Hui said with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Jing Tian couldn't help but laugh.

Hainan Province's cultural and tourism sector is indeed doing just that, welcoming audiences to visit the filming locations of "The Vanished She" and take photos.

Then... netizens suddenly got excited and started asking questions.

For example, is there an iron cage under the lighthouse? What does the underwater starry sky look like?
For example, if I go on vacation there and wake up one day, could Gao Yuanyuan become my wife?
Or perhaps there are some good gambling places over there.

These questions are somewhat tricky, and the Hainan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism simply cannot handle them.

The last question prompted many people to share their experiences, noting that there are quite a few people in Hainan Province who regularly play cards and mahjong.

Therefore, in order to improve its image, the provincial government carried out certain rectifications in this regard.

The development of the tourism island is a key project; we cannot afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of short-term gains!

This has caused some people in Hainan Province to complain bitterly. The Spring Festival Gala in the three eastern and western provinces of Hainan has the lowest viewership on New Year's Eve, and many people just like to play a few rounds of cards with their friends.

That's it, they've been shut down.

However, the film "The Vanished She" did have an effect, and the Raffles restaurant in Clearwater Bay is said to be frequently full.

The Shenzhou Lighthouse has also seen a surge in people taking photos, much to the annoyance of the anglers fishing there.

They were affected once during filming, and even after the movie's release, they were affected again.

Is there any more heavenly justice?
Are you trying to stop people from fishing?

The reputation of the international tourism island has gradually spread throughout the country.

But compared to the current "Si Teng," the effect of "The Vanished She" on Hainan Province is both good and bad...

……

"Hehehehe..."

In the iQiyi conference room, several vice presidents were beaming, their smiles as radiant as chrysanthemums.

The effect of "Sito" was so great that their iQiyi users skyrocketed, and the number of VIP subscribers reached a record high.

The last time this happened was when "The Beginning" premiered.

However, "The Beginning" is too short, only a little over ten episodes.

Before iQiyi could even fully enjoy that exhilarating experience, "The Beginning" was gone.

"Sito" is different; it has a full thirty episodes!

Looking at the freshly released data, the vice presidents' previous dissatisfaction with Qi Hui over the "Operation Red Sea" actors completely disappeared.

The success of "Sito" was enough for them to ask their parent company for several hundred million in funding. As for the one hundred million invested... that's nothing!
It's understandable if he's a bit domineering. Qi Hui is so talented, it's normal for him to be a little autocratic!
Looking at his several vice presidents, Gong Yu shook his head helplessly; the changes before and after were quite significant.

His initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness is laughable...

……

华宜
The office was filled with the aroma of tea; the rich fragrance of black tea slowly permeated the air, soothing and refreshing.

However, the Wang brothers had no interest in enjoying tea; instead, they were somewhat irritable and depressed.

The play "Si Teng" was already quite good, and with the involvement of Yunnan Province's cultural and tourism departments, it became even more popular, reaching its zenith.

Unfortunately, Huayi Brothers did not invest in the production of the TV series "Si Teng".

Seeing those investors making huge profits, they felt incredibly heartbroken!
Huayi is a media company, not just for movies. It has many subsidiaries and is involved in many areas such as TV series, commercials, and variety shows.

For example, Huayi Brothers participated in the Running Man show.

Otherwise, how could Yang Tianbao have been inside for so long?

The variety show movie "Running Man" is also a film produced by their company, Huayi Brothers.

Participating in web series is not a new business, but simply a traditional skill; in fact, they don't even need to create a new subsidiary.

Unfortunately, they weren't part of the story.

Not only is "Si Teng" missing, but even "Operation Red Sea," which Qi Hui is currently preparing, is missing!

Damn Yu Donggua, if he hadn't gotten there first, would they have missed such a great opportunity?

"What do we do now?" Wang Zonglei asked after a long silence.

They don't need Qi Hui to live, but seeing their old rival making money, especially money that should rightfully be theirs, makes them feel uneasy.

Wang Zongjun glanced at his foolish younger brother who only knew how to ask questions, and took a sip of tea, equally frustrated.

One wrong move and you lose the initiative—it's incredibly frustrating!

Taking a sip of tea, Wang Zongjun slowly said, "Things have come to this point, and we no longer have the opportunity to participate in Qi Hui's project."

Wang Zonglei's eyes widened in disbelief. How could I not know about this?

Wang Zongjun ignored his foolish younger brother and continued, "Although we cannot participate in Qi Hui's project, it does not mean that Qi Hui cannot participate in our project."

As he spoke, he tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "The story of Seeking the Dragon!"

"Now I understand!" Wang Zonglei slapped his thigh. "Brilliant!"

"Mojin: The Lost Legend" was originally a project of Huayi Brothers, but didn't they invite Qi Hui to participate?

After some back and forth, although the script was forced to be revised and the female lead was relinquished, Qi Hui and his team did not disappoint and earned a box office of 2.2 billion.

"What projects have we led or participated in?" Wang Zongjun asked. "Big productions, the kind with big stars."

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Wang Zonglei was stunned for a moment, then quickly searched for and flipped through the files.

"Jackie Chan has a film called 'Railroad Tigers' coming out next year, Cheng Er has started a project called 'The Wasted Times,' Feng Xiaogang has 'I Am Not Madame Bovary,' and Wen Zhang has a romantic comedy film called 'When Larry Met Mary'..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Zongjun glared at his younger brother, wishing he could beat him up. "The rest is fine, but why did you bring up that movie about emblems?"

That's clearly a gesture by the emblem to express his feelings to Ma Yili, a project he made to win her back. Putting aside the cost, the very reason for initiating this project would never have allowed Qi Hui to participate.

Putting aside Qi Hui's situation, Wen Zhang can't just stand by and watch his wife be with Qi Hui... right?
"Oh, and there's another one, 'So Young 2: Never Gone,' starring Liu Yifei... a romance film. The original male lead was Wu Qian, but he..."

Wang Zongjun pondered, unsure which film to ask Qi Hui to collaborate on.

Given Qi Hui's personality, Cheng Er and Feng Xiaogang's project is definitely out of the question.

What if Qi Hui wants to change the script?
What if these two didn't want to, and then they started fighting?
If he's not careful, he might end up collecting the corpses of Cheng Er and Feng Xiaogang.

Jackie Chan's "Railroad Tigers" is worth a try, but the two have different styles.

"What a pity..." Wang Zongjun thought to himself. "If I hadn't fallen out with Stephen Chow, I could have let Qi Hui try out 'The Mermaid'."

Jingle bell bell~
"Hey?"

"Old Wang, it's me, Yu Dong!"

"What is it?" Wang Zongjun asked with a dark face.

"Hahaha, isn't Qi Hui popular again?" Yu Dong laughed. "I want to ask, did you participate in his project... hahaha."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Dong burst into hearty laughter.

The two companies have been competing openly and covertly for so long, he was more than happy to see Huayi suffer a setback.

Wang Zongjun hung up the phone with a dark expression.

Damn Yu Donggua!

I have never seen such a shameless person!
