Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 616 The TV series "In the Name of the People"

Jing Tian naturally wouldn't refuse the vacation that Kong Sheng offered her.

As for today's show... Kong Sheng announced a half-day off, and since the leaders were inspecting the work, he naturally had to take some measures.

As a result, Jing Tian got an extra half-day of vacation.

The other actors cheered, "Thank you, Sister Jing Tian! Thank you, Boss Lady!"
The next day

In the afternoon, at the airport

Qi Hui had just landed when he received a message from Jing Tian.

Immediately, he handed his luggage to his assistant to handle, while he quickly found Jing Tian sitting in the car according to the address.

"Ah...you bad guy, I missed you so much!" Jing Tian cheered, pulled Qi Hui into the car, and then hugged him.

Smelling the familiar scent and feeling the familiar embrace, she instantly felt happy.

"Hehe..." Qi Hui held the beauty in his arms, his eyes narrowed with happiness as well.

After a long while, the two reluctantly parted ways.

This is an airport, it's crowded and noisy, it's better to leave first.

Following Jing Tian's directions, Qi Hui drove to a villa area.

"Uh...?" He looked at Jing Tian, ​​a bad feeling creeping over him: "Bought another house?"

"No," Jing Tian said matter-of-factly, "I bought it before, but I just forgot to tell you."

Qi Hui: "...You can even forget this?"

Rich lady, you haven't forgotten where you buried those tons of gold, have you?

"I can't remember..." Jing Tian said coquettishly, "You're all I can think about all the time."

Qi Hui: “…”

Who can resist such sweet talk?

As they spoke, the car drove into the garage, and Jing Tian showed Qi Hui around their new home.

It's definitely smaller than a villa in Beijing, but it's still very nice.

He used to work in civil engineering, so he could tell the value of the house.

If he had lived his entire life before transmigrating, he probably wouldn't have been able to afford even one room in this villa.

However, the villa was deserted.

"You're not here for the first time either, are you?" Qi Hui was somewhat speechless.

“Oh~ it’s our new home.” Jing Tian put her hands on her hips and said confidently, “Of course we should all go see it together to make it feel more special.”

“…That makes a lot of sense.” Qi Hui was convinced by her.

Click~
Suddenly, there was a sound inside the room. Qi Hui turned his head and saw that Jing Tian had locked the door from the inside.

Not only did they lock the door, but they also picked up the remote and closed all the curtains.

"Darling, let me ask you a question." Jing Tian held Qi Hui's hand: "Where do you think the energy for the activities of living organisms comes from?"

"Uh...of course it's starch and polysaccharides." Qi Hui was puzzled; asking such a question at this moment was somewhat of a mood killer.

“But I am an inorganic matter,” Jing Tian said, somewhat troubled.

"How come you're an inorganic matter... Oh~~~" Qi Hui looked puzzled, but when he saw Jing Tian's smile, he immediately understood.

So, does that mean I, Qi, am a chicken...organic being?
Qi Hui was speechless: "..."

"Hurry up, I'm out of energy and need polysaccharides to replenish it..." Jing Tian said coquettishly, hugging Qi Hui.

Before he could finish speaking, the arms wrapped around his waist exerted force.

"Ah~ Hahahaha..."

Pleasant laughter echoed in the room.

……

When Qi Hui woke up, it was already the next day.

He sighed, feeling refreshed and relaxed all over.

"Home is still the best..." Qi Hui sighed, carefully releasing Jing Tian beside him.

I'm starving now, let's cook something to eat.

With this thought in mind, Qi Hui picked up his phone and headed to the kitchen.

He turned off his phone last night so as not to be disturbed.

Nothing is more important than Jing Tian; he doesn't even bother to look at it.

As soon as I turned on the computer, all sorts of messages came in.

Many things are unimportant, such as Kong Sheng's letter asking when he would visit the film set.

For example, the chat between Wu Jing and his friends in the group.

Then there's Han Sanping's place.

He gave the crew a 5-day break, but there were still some things that Han Sanping was unsure about and needed to consider Qi Hui's opinion.

While making breakfast, Qi Hui replied to each message one by one.

After he finally finished making breakfast and replying to messages, Xiao Yang suddenly called. "What is it?" Qi Hui asked irritably.

I'm on vacation, can't I just enjoy myself?

"Uh... Chairman, it's like this." Sensing Qi Hui's unfriendly tone, Xiao Yang quickly and concisely explained the situation.

Simply put, it means someone comes to your door seeking investment.

Xiao Yang read the script and project proposal and thought they were pretty good; she thought she could submit them.

But aren't you the boss?
It's up to you!

"What kind of script?" Qi Hui asked.

"Anti-corruption TV dramas," Xiao Yang replied.

A few years ago, she definitely wouldn't have invested in something that clearly wouldn't make money.

But things are different now. Yixin has a full cash flow, and Qi Hui has always been an unconventional person.

Every project I invest in is... one that doesn't seem to be profitable.

And yet, they all succeeded.

The problem is... the chairman happens to have a strong disdain for art films and the like.

This is very strange!

After thinking it over, she decided to tell Qi Hui about it.

What if the boss has a different idea?

"Anti-corruption?" Qi Hui's heart skipped a beat. "Who's the director? What's the project's name?"

"Director Li Lu," Xiao Yang replied, "The title is 'In the Name of the People'."

"..."

Qi Hui took a slow breath, and the image of the middle-aged, fat director he had seen at the Hundred Flowers Awards suddenly popped into his mind.

I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Turns out he's the director of "In the Name of the People"!
"Hey, boss?" Xiao Yang asked. Why did he suddenly stop talking?

"Ahem... Okay, I understand." Qi Hui coughed lightly. "I'll handle this matter. I'll tell you the specifics later."

"Okay," Xiao Yang replied, and quickly hung up the phone.

I won't bother the boss and his wife anymore!

Looking at his phone, Qi Hui stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming.

I never expected this project to come to me.

"Honey, what's wrong?" At this moment, Jing Tian yawned and came out of the room.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, she hugged Qi Hui's waist from behind, wanting to cuddle with him.

"It's Xiao Yang on the phone," Qi Hui explained. "It's about work."

"Oh... um?" Jing Tian's expression changed. Was she going to go out again?
Noticing her change, Qi Hui hugged her, patted her head, and smiled, "Don't worry, the scenes overseas have already been filmed."

"Even if you asked me to go, I wouldn't."

"Hehe...that's more like it." Jing Tian was relieved: "What's the matter?"

“It’s a TV series project,” Qi Hui explained. “Xiao Yang thought it was good and recommended that I take a look.”

"I see..." Upon hearing this, Jing Tian showed little interest.

She wasn't interested in any of these things.

Qi Hui also temporarily put the matter aside and had breakfast with Jing Tian.

However, Jing Tian is understanding and, although she doesn't like working, she doesn't object to Qi Hui working.

She went to do housework, leaving Qi Hui to handle things.

Last night... cough, the sheets need to be washed.

The room also needs to be cleaned.

……

In the living room, Qi Hui dialed Li Lu's number.

Li Lu handed him his business card at the Hundred Flowers Awards last year.

At the Hundred Flowers Awards, he didn't win Best Actor and was a little bored, so he played with his phone and saved the phone number.

"Hello?" Li Lu's voice came through the phone.

"Director Li, hello, I'm Qi Hui." With a laugh, Qi Hui cut to the chase: "I heard you have a project and are struggling to find an investor?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lu immediately shuddered: "Ah...right, right, right!"

"Yes, that's right, Mr. Qi, you...you are..."

"Just call me by my name." Qi Hui laughed. "I'm quite interested and plan to submit my application. How about we meet in person?"

"Okay, okay..." Li Lu's voice suddenly became excited: "Where are you? I'll come over to you."

Li Lu was almost in tears. He was desperately short of investment; he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to start a film crew.

There's finally hope!
