Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 668 Even I, Hong Shixian, wouldn't utter such vulgar words!

In recent years, films and television dramas on the theme of tomb raiding have become very popular.

The TV series adaptation of "The Lost Tomb" starring Li Yifeng and Yang Yang, and "The Mystic Nine" starring Ling Jun.

Also, there's the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, "Mojin: The Lost Legend" starring Qi Hui and Jing Tian, ​​and "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" starring Mark Chao and Bai Bing.

Although the latter was terrible, Lu Chuan wouldn't have made the story of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" if it hadn't been popular.

Even Kong Sheng and Sun Molong from Daylight Entertainment started filming "Candle in the Tomb" after finishing "Ode to Joy".

Tomb raiding-themed films and television dramas are now thriving and flourishing.

This is also why the creators of "The Lost Tomb" wanted to collaborate with "Operation Red Sea".

"Operation Red Sea" has been in theaters for over a month, and its popularity is gradually waning, showing signs of fatigue.

Their fresh and promising talents, coupled with the popularity of the tomb raiding genre and the fame of lead actor Lu Han, suggest they may well be a formidable opponent!
Unfortunately, the past is the past, and the present is the present.

The news that "Operation Red Sea" had surpassed 4 billion yuan at the box office hit them hard.

The media rushed to report on it, and netizens eagerly discussed it.

Many people have begun to look back at the history of film box office performance. Four years ago, the first domestic film to gross 1 billion yuan appeared.

A year ago, the box office revenue of domestic films had just exceeded 2 billion yuan.

Moreover, it was dethroned by Hollywood's "Furious 7".

"Monster Hunt" barely surpassed "Furious 7" by relying on fake and stolen box office figures.

However, things are different this year. At the beginning of the year, "The Mermaid" made a stunning debut and broke the 3 billion mark.

But this is just the beginning.

Just one month after "The Mermaid" was taken off the screens, its hard-earned box office record was broken again.

This time, something even more ruthless has arrived!

The media sang praises and celebrated Qi Hui's record-breaking box office performance.

Netizens are discussing this matter intensely.

The hype surrounding "Operation Red Sea," which had finally subsided somewhat, has been reignited.

The box office, which had been declining, has started to show a slight rebound in the last two days.

"Damn it!" Li Rengang slammed the documents down and cursed, "These newspapers only know how to fawn over people. They don't write what they should report, and they keep writing things that have been written several times before!"

"Why sell newspapers? Wouldn't it be better to sell tape recorders?"

He is the director of "The Lost Tomb" and is currently in a very bad mood.

The challenges facing "The Lost Tomb" are not only the strong competition from other producers, but also the presence of its lead actress, Lu Han.

Lu Han's other blockbuster, "The Great Wall," performed poorly at the box office and received terrible reviews.

This cast a shadow over his heart and made him very upset!

Unfortunately, the premiere of "The Lost Tomb" is still a few days away, and the investors won't agree to withdraw it now.

Moreover... in fact, "The Lost Tomb" has only been filming for three months.

They knew exactly what the purpose of this film was: not to make a good movie for the audience to enjoy, but simply to make money.

The entire filming process, from start to finish, wasn't even as long as the filming period for "Operation Red Sea".

The screenwriter, publicity director, and others remained silent, offering no comment on the director's words.

Preparations for the premiere had already begun, and invitations had been sent out long ago.

What else can be done?

We'll just have to bite the bullet and go for it.

Anyway, the director is shameless, so he let him take the lead.

……

On the other side, the small villa

Qi Hui was half-reclined on the sofa, resting with one arm around Jing Tian and the other holding the invitation to "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and flipping through it.

Unlike a few years ago, the era of large-scale infrastructure construction is gradually taking shape, with various high-speed railways being built one after another.

Whether it's traveling from Hengdian to Shanghai, or from Nanjing to Shanghai, it's now incredibly convenient.

Jing Tian originally planned to visit the set in Nanjing over the weekend, but since they didn't have a place there, the two of them went to Shanghai instead.

There are houses in Hengdian, but they're not as good as those in Shanghai. Jing Tian prefers this place.

However, Jing Tian was quite interested in the drama "In the Name of the People" that Qi Hui was currently starring in. She had been talking about visiting the set for a long time.

Of course, this girl is a bit lazy; she always says she'll go, but she never really wants to.

She preferred to spend time with Qi Hui, enjoying their time together.

"It's so hot, why are you still wearing clothes?" Jing Tian said irritably, and with a quick reach, she skillfully took off Qi Hui's loose and casual short-sleeved shirt.

Qi Hui was looking at the invitation when he suddenly realized he was shirtless.

"Hehe..." Jing Tian chuckled softly, resting her head on Qi Hui's shoulder, one arm around his waist, the other stroking his familiar abs:

"Why are you looking at me? Keep looking at the invitation."

Qi Hui: “…”

How can you stand it when there's always a hand touching your body?

However, to be fair, the main investor in "The Lost Tomb" was actually LeEco!
What a coincidence, it's him again!

Another terrible movie!

They just had "The Great Wall" flop a while ago, and now, to make matters worse, they've got "The Lost Tomb" coming out.

I don't know how LeEco selects its projects.

Her taste is almost as good as Jing Tian's!
Unaware of Qi Hui's sinister intentions, Jing Tian asked curiously, "Are we going to see this movie?"

"I don't want to go," Qi Hui said irritably.

Why would he watch bad movies when he has nothing better to do?
"I think it's pretty good," Jing Tian said. "Tomb raiding is such a popular genre right now, and this movie is even written by the original author... What if it does well at the box office?"

"Hehe..." Qi Hui smiled faintly.

While the tomb raiding genre is indeed very popular, strictly speaking, its popularity in the film industry was largely driven by the main creators of "Mojin: The Lost Legend," including Qi Hui, Jing Tian, ​​and Guo Fan.

Otherwise, given the success of Lu Chuan's "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe," the adaptation plan for "Ghost Blows Out the Light" would have been aborted long ago.

We owe our current success to "Mojin: The Lost Legend"!
However... this is not a good thing for "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

Good news: Tomb raiding is a very popular genre, generating its first 2 billion yuan box office!
Bad news: The group that created the first two billion yuan box office record has now created the first four billion yuan box office record!
"What? You want to go?" Qi Hui asked. If he didn't know the situation, he would have been fooled by this thing called "original author and screenwriter".

This movie is just a money-grabbing scheme; it only took two or three months from filming to release.

This is a special effects blockbuster, not a drama movie. It would be a miracle if it were good!

"Mmm~" Jing Tian said, "Let's watch a movie, it'll be good for relaxation~"

She treated someone else's premiere like a movie theater.

Qi Hui rolled his eyes. This girl really has a knack for watching bad movies; she doesn't watch good ones, she just watches bad ones...

I told you this girl has great taste, right?
You can spot a bad movie the moment you see it!

"Alright." Qi Hui nodded. Since Jing Tian liked it, he would let her have her way.

Qi Hui wasn't the kind of person to spoil the fun.

It's just watching bad movies, no big deal. But if they dare to act in them... hmph, I'll spank their little bottom first!
"Hehe... You're so sweet, darling," Jing Tian said excitedly, then got down to business.

Her hand moved down from her chest muscles, following the lines of her abs, gently tracing each muscle.

As she moved her fingers, she felt a surge of saliva on her tongue.

For some reason, she had an urge to smear saliva on it...

"Darling," Jing Tian said with a smile, her voice so sweet it was almost cloying.

"Hmm...hmm?" Qi Hui didn't realize the situation had changed at first, but Jing Tian's voice quickly made him realize something was wrong.

"Your abs are so nice, won't you invite me up for a seat?" she whispered in Qi Hui's ear with a chuckle.

Qi Hui: “…”

Even I, Hong Shixian, wouldn't utter such vulgar words...

……

A few days later, the premiere of "The Lost Tomb" began.
Qi Hui and Jing Tian made a low-key appearance at the premiere.

Unlike others, the two of them were simply there to watch a movie.
