HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 185 [185] The Most Beautiful Woman on the World's Edge, Laughing Proudly as Filming Begins

After the release of the latest promotional photos for "Swordsman", it quickly became the hottest entertainment news in mainland China.

The production team had previously released promotional photos, and Qi Yuan looked very handsome. At the time, many people praised Qi Yuan for being suitable to play Linghu Chong.

After these photos were released, people are even more eager to see Qi Yuan as Linghu Chong.

In the photo, Qi Yuan has a similar carefree and unrestrained air to Linghu Chong.

Netizens exclaimed that this is the Linghu Chong they all envisioned.

[The most handsome Linghu Chong in history! I hope his action scenes are better. If his action scenes are better, you will be the most classic and best Linghu Chong.]

These stills perfectly capture a free-spirited and spirited nature.

Honestly, I'm a fan of the original novel. In the book, Linghu Chong has sword-like eyebrows, thin lips, and a long face; he's not exactly a handsome man. But who would mind if Linghu Chong is handsome? His acting has to hold up!

[Upstairs, you don't know "The Mission"? Qi Yuan went toe-to-toe with the Best Actor in it, her acting skills are definitely not a concern.]

[Gunfire? Has Qi Yuan acted in a movie? Where can I watch it?]

It will be released in mainland China soon, you can keep an eye out for it.

……

Qi Yuan sat in front of the computer browsing posts on Tianya, then turned to look at Li Xue: "You're learning pretty fast. I told you to pay more attention to online promotional channels, and you actually used them to promote 'Gunfire'. Not bad, not bad."

Li Xue still seems inexperienced in handling many things, but she learns things very quickly and knows how to keep up with the times.

The idea of ​​blending into the crowd of netizens to advertise was something she figured out on her own.

Qi Yuan clicked on another popular post on Tianya.

The poster shared a photo of Qi Yuan embracing four beautiful women and asked for everyone's opinion.

The comments below the post are also great!
Holy crap! This version of *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* is so good-looking! Ren Yingying, Yue Lingshan, Lan Fenghuang, and Yilin are all beauties, especially Yue Lingshan and Lan Fenghuang, they're absolutely gorgeous!

Now I finally understand why Linghu Chong was so conflicted; they were all stunning beauties, and I wouldn't know how to choose either.

Children make choices; adults want it all.

I heard that Qi Yuan is dating Ren Yingying off-screen. Someone even photographed Qi Yuan kissing Xu Qing last time. I'm so envious of that guy.

[I refuse to accept this! I'm just as good-looking as Qi Yuan, why didn't the director cast me as Linghu Chong?]

[Is there anyone downstairs with yellow urine? Wake him up with a snort. Don't let diabetic people go upstairs; we can't let them get a taste of the benefits.]

【queue!】

……

Qi Yuan was somewhat impressed by the talent of the silly netizens.

He also discovered that his good looks were widely recognized on Tianya Forum, and people even gave him the title of "Tianya's Number One Handsome Man."

Li Xue played a part in this; after discovering that the title "Tianya's Top Beauty" had been created, she immediately found people to promote it on the forum, accelerating its spread.

Qi Yuan was very satisfied: "Starting next month, I'll give you a raise."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi. You are very generous."

Li Xue beamed with joy; she was very happy that her work had been recognized.

Qi Yuan was going to stay in the mainland for a long time this time, and he gave Li Xue another task: to contact Chang Jihong.

Chang Jihong, like Wang Jinghua, is a very capable agent.

If Wang Jinghua is the top agent in mainland China, then Chang Jihong is the top agent in mainland China, aiming for third place and striving for second.

Chang Jihong started her career as an agent for Jiang Wenli, and later discovered artists such as Sun Li, Liu Ye, Wang Luodan, Yu Nan, and Huang Xuan.

Chang Jihong is capable but not very ambitious.

In her past life, Chang Jihong and Haiyan had a ten-year agreement, and she dutifully stayed for the full ten years. She did not own any of Haiyan's shares and was always a high-level employee.

They eventually parted ways, but it wasn't as messy as the breakup between Wang Jinghua and Huayi; it was a peaceful split, at least on the surface.

She left Haiyan not because other companies poached her, but because of a difference in their philosophies. Haiyan was seeking an IPO and wanted to emulate Huayi Brothers' approach.

Chang Jihong only wanted to run a family workshop, leading a dozen artists to take the high-end route. When Hai Yan was filming a new drama, she would let her artists get the roles.

Qi Yuan doesn't plan to sign too many artists; Chang Jihong's family-run management style is enough.

Star Wish will gradually invest in some film and television dramas, which is in line with Chang Jihong's management philosophy. It is better to promote one's own people than to promote outsiders.

Li Xue felt a little uneasy.

Is Qi Yuan planning to find a more professional agent to replace her?

"Don't worry, you'll be my manager from now on, and you can manage your sister as well. You two are sisters, how will Xiao Fan feel if the younger sister manages the older sister?"

Seeing Li Xue's worry, Qi Yuan resolved the issue on the spot.

In her past life, Yuan Li and Li Bingbing had a feud, and Yuan Li chased after Li Bingbing and cursed him for many years.

At that time, Li Xue became a senior executive in Huayi Brothers' talent agency department, and Yuan Li was one of the artists she managed.

Yuan Li firmly believes that Li Xue manipulated things behind the scenes to give the role of Shangguan Jing'er in "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" to Li Bingbing, and Yuan Li believes that this is her resource.

When the two sisters join forces, no one will be convinced.

After Li Bingbing joined Star Wish, Li Xue was no longer suitable to mentor Fan Xiaopang.

Find another agent to manage Fan Xiaopang. It's all about skill when it comes to securing resources; if you can't get them, you can only blame your own incompetence.

Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

That's fine. She only needs to take care of Qi Yuan and Li Bingbing's work, which will significantly reduce her workload.

She was a little shocked. Qi Yuan was too farsighted; she had actually foreseen that she and her sisters would fall out with Fan Xiaopang.

Don't be fooled by how well the sisters are getting along with Fan Xiaopang; they'd love to sleep in the same bed every night.

Actually, both groups are scheming against each other.

Love Like a Bouquet

Li Xue told Li Bingbing about this movie, but not Fan Xiaopang.

The sisters' intentions were clear: to sneak into the village without firing a shot.

If Fan Xiaopang finds out, our friendship will be over in no time.

You can't blame Li Xue for this; they're sisters.

This is a film directed by Chen Kaige and starring Qi Yuan.

If her sister Li Bingbing were to act in it, there's a high chance she'd become a national sensation overnight. Who would willingly hand over such a great opportunity to an outsider?

Anyone who enters the entertainment industry doesn't want to improve or climb the ladder; those who don't want to be famous wouldn't even enter the industry.

……

June 1st is Children's Day.

In Xihui Park, Xishi, the long-awaited filming of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" officially began.

The "Gunfire" crew was too poor. At the time, Du Qifeng only had someone hastily prepare a chicken, and everyone lit a few incense sticks. That was it for the opening ceremony.

The production team of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was a CCTV production, so they were much wealthier. Zhang Da Hu Zi had a roast pig weighing two or three hundred catties brought over, along with all kinds of fruits, pastries, and wine.

Zhang Da Hu Zi also had red envelopes distributed to the crew members, including all the media reporters and paparazzi present.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Dahuzi and directors Huang Jianzhong and Yuan Bin led everyone in offering incense.

This time, the opening ceremony was finally done properly.

Qi Yuan held a few incense sticks and bowed three times devoutly. He didn't ask the gods to bless "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" with great success; he only prayed that if he couldn't resist temptation on set and made the same mistake as Jackie Chan, he would never, ever fail.
