Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 592 Hahaha, Chairman, congratulations on your fortune!
Shortly after, Qi Hui, dressed in camouflage training uniform, took the elevator upstairs.

His face was covered in sweat and oil, and he was panting heavily.

He was still at the training ground when his assistant ran over with his phone.

As soon as the call connected, Xiao Yang's voice came out, saying that people from the Navy had arrived.

Qi Hui ignored the instructor, said goodbye, and quickly left.

Although the training ground was not in a military camp, the instructors made it clear before the training began that unless there was an unforeseen circumstance, no one was allowed to abandon the training midway.

This is a disciplinary issue!

Although it wasn't the military, there was no punishment... after all, he was the boss.

But I still feel a little strange about this, and a sense of guilt inexplicably creeps over me.

I feel like I've let the group down.

Qi Hui knew that this was just training for acting, but this feeling still came over him strangely... Qi Hui took a deep breath, composed himself, and strode into the reception room.

"I'm so sorry, you two, I'm late," Qi Hui said apologetically.

Tang Jing and the middle-aged man glanced at Qi Hui, noticing his training uniform, his panting, his flushed face, and his sweat.

They were also from the military, and they knew very well that Qi Hui's current state was not an act.

Tang Jing and the middle-aged man felt this was very good; this attitude was definitely necessary!

"Hehehe, it's nothing," Tang Jing laughed. "We haven't been here long."

"This is Gu Ping, the deputy director of our Navy Political Department."

Tang Jing introduced the middle-aged woman next to her; she was actually also the deputy director of the Navy Political Department.

They were both deputy directors of the Navy Political Department.

"Hello, Director Gu." Qi Hui quickly shook hands.

"Haha, I've heard of you before." Gu Ping laughed heartily. Qi Hui was quite famous within the Marine Corps.

Sleeping while on guard duty resulted in a reprimand for all the brigade-level officers.

Only two regimental-level officers who were stationed elsewhere were lucky enough to escape unscathed.

Later, his starring role in "Fire Blue Blade" greatly increased the reputation of the Marine Corps, making recruitment much easier.

Then there's the Fire Blue Dagger; countless short-haired young men are eyeing that thing with longing.
Gu Ping asked with a slightly teasing tone, "If I may ask, is your training method based on that of our Marine Corps brigade?"

"Uh... no, it's the army." Qi Hui looked embarrassed. What navy was there near the capital?
These are all army soldiers!
"That's not surprising. Even our naval commander gets seasick. Using some army training won't be a problem for me," Qi Hui coughed lightly, trying to cover up the situation.

"Hahahaha..." Gu Ping laughed upon hearing this. As expected of you, you truly live up to your reputation.

After finishing the simple conversation, the four of them got down to business.

The Navy can provide the support that Qi Hui desires.

Warships, helicopters, weapons and equipment... and the Navy has also established connections with embassies abroad.

Morocco, a North African country, has agreed to provide relevant policy support.

The tanks, personnel, and street photography needed can all be coordinated over there.

In short, the Navy Political Department can give you whatever you want.

Even things you can't think of, the Navy Political Department can help you think of, and here's more!

The propaganda front is also a front that the Navy needs to conquer, and having Qi Hui as a fresh force is the best thing.

However, after the filming is completed, the footage needs to be reviewed by the Navy Political Department before you can handle it, in order to prevent leaks.

Qi Hui readily agreed, saying it was only right!
In addition, Tang Jing and Gu Ping will also be joining the film crew.

The former was nominally the producer, while the latter served as the chief consultant, acting as a bridge for coordination and communication between the Navy Political Department and the production team.

At the same time, the two also represent the opinion of the Navy, and some things need to be discussed.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed.

This is right!
With these two present, it meant that the Navy's support would not be in vain, and Qi Hui was extremely satisfied!
Finally, there's one more thing!

As Qi Hui had previously proposed, they would build the framework of the production team, while the Navy would fill in the details, using their cinematographers, lighting technicians, and production assistants. The Navy had agreed to this arrangement.

In fact, even if Qi Hui hadn't brought it up, they would have brought it up anyway.

Photographing warships is something that cannot be done by photographers who have not been censored.

“Uh…” Qi Hui thought of something and immediately asked, “Your photographers won’t… film the warships as small fishing boats or missile boats again, will they?” A whole bunch of memes flashed through his mind.

The official photographers are really amazing; they managed to make a massive warship that looks like a mountain look like a model toy.

"Well... cough cough, we need to analyze each situation specifically." Gu Ping blushed slightly and coughed lightly as he spoke.
"Have faith in our photographer comrade!"

Qi Hui: “…”

That's why I asked that question—because I trusted them too much!

……

When the results came out from the Navy Bureau, Qi Hui quickly met with the other three investors.

The three investors were thrilled; this 600 million yuan project had finally overcome its biggest challenge!
Immediately, the prepared production team went to the Navy Political Department to work with the people there.

Before leaving, Qi Hui gave a brief explanation of the precautions: "The Navy Political Department is a military system, so don't be so careless. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and don't inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about."

Adhere to rules and regulations, do your job well, and report any conflicts to higher authorities...

By the time Qi Hui finished speaking, more than an hour and a half had passed.

The assistant director, director of photography, action director, lighting technician, production director... they felt a chill run down their spines, but they dared not disobey.

Qi Hui is not only a director, but also a producer and a boss.

After finishing these tasks, Qi Hui called over the production manager, and the two began to develop a shooting plan.

They even called in the art director to discuss the visuals and composition...

By the way, I'd like to inform Zhou Xun that the schedule has been confirmed.

Then they prepared to return to the training ground to continue training.

Besides being a producer and director, he is also the lead actor.

"..."

So tiring and troublesome!

Qi Hui felt a chill run down his spine. If this continued, even if he were made of iron, he wouldn't be able to withstand it!
He immediately decided to hand over the producer position to someone else.

If this continues, even if I, Qi, had two livers, I wouldn't be able to withstand the strain!

"Who should I ask?" Qi Hui pondered, stroking his chin.

We need to find someone with professional skills, high moral character, and the ability to keep others in check when we're not on set.

Also, someone who can maintain a proper position and doesn't interfere arbitrarily... in other words, preferably someone within the system.

Only those within the system truly understand the weight of the rule that "the Navy will not interfere."

Thinking of this, a suitable person popped into Qi Hui's mind: Han Sanping!

I wonder if he'll be willing to give up his retirement life... Qi Hui scratched his head a little.

"Hmm...Isn't Lao Guo supposed to be going to China Film Group?" Qi Hui's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

What a coincidence! We can go together!

Anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, so let's go and wish Third Master a Happy New Year in advance.

Not much, cough cough... just a few months earlier.

Sending New Year's greetings and wishing someone a prosperous year... there shouldn't be any problem!
……

However, while Qi Hui was pondering the matter of "Operation Red Sea," an invitation arrived.

The premiere of "Detective Chinatown".

As one of the investors, it's perfectly reasonable for them to send him an invitation.

Qi Hui accepted the money and prepared to go to the movies with Jing Tian.

Hmm... We'll let Xiao Yang take over the work when the time comes, he can just work overtime.

But just as Qi Hui was pondering these things, the phone suddenly rang.
"Hey……"

"Hahaha, Chairman, congratulations on your fortune!" Kong Sheng's hearty laughter rang out from the other end of the phone.

Qi Hui: “…”

There are still a few months until Chinese New Year. What's the meaning of "Wishing you prosperity"?
