HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 224 [224] Holy crap! Is this an advertisement or a movie?

Li Lianjie and Cheng Longqiang are paid in film salaries; they earn US dollars in Hollywood.

If they were to do advertising endorsements in mainland China, their fees wouldn't be much different from Qi Yuan's.

Previously, Cheng Long's endorsement fee for VCDs was also in the eight figures, similar to that of Qi Yuan.

However, Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" hadn't been released yet, and Jackie Chan's prices have definitely increased since then.

The second wrap party has ended.

Qi Yuan opened the car door and was about to get in when Fan Xiaopang ran up to him, 'drunk' and passed out, muttering something unintelligible.

To be honest, her acting was pretty good.

If he hadn't known that Fan Xiaopang could drink at least two bottles of red wine, he would have believed it.

This scene was witnessed by Li Bingbing and her sister.

Li Bingbing rolled down the car window and called out, "President Qi, my sister and I will take Xiao Fan home. We won't trouble you."

Fan Xiaopang, who was lying in Qi Yuan's arms, frowned.

That old woman really knows how to ruin things. Tonight was such a great opportunity—the wrap party. She got drunk, and Qi Yuan considerately took her home. Then things escalated...

She's already written the complete script, just waiting for the male lead to appear. What are you doing, you old woman, causing trouble?

Qi Yuan hadn't planned on anything happening with Fan Xiaopang tonight; he had promised Gao Yuanyuan he would go home tonight.

He went along with it and handed Fan Xiaopang over to the Li sisters, instructing them to take Fan Xiaopang home.

The Li sisters readily agreed.

After Qi Yuan's car drove away, Li Bingbing said fiercely to his sister, "Why help her up? Just leave her by the roadside and let the beggars drag her away."

"Sis, isn't this a bad idea?"

"Ok?"

Li Bingbing looked at her younger sister in confusion. Logically speaking, her younger sister should dislike Fan Xiaopang more, as Fan Xiaopang was her sister's rival in love.

Li Xue then said, "Give her a quick death. Find a dark road and dump her in the middle of it."

"..."

Li Bingbing was stunned.

Sure enough, none of the women in the Li family were kind-hearted; each one was ruthless.

A little while later, they started throwing sacks into the river, and then beating up Fan Xiaopang while he was drunk...

Fan Xiaopang was terrified, but luckily Chang Jihong arrived in time to take him away, preserving his dignity.

Li Xue asked with interest, "Sis, if this vixen's manager hadn't come, were you really planning to just leave her on the side of the road?"

Li Bingbing glanced at his sister and explained, "There was some drinking at the crew dinner before, and I could tell that she could drink more than half a bottle of red wine."

She and Fan Xiaopang were only competing for resources, and at most there was also the conflict between her sister and Fan Xiaopang over men, which was far from being a blood feud.

She just said it casually to provoke Fan Xiaopang, to make him "sober up," and to make him lose his mind.

Even if Fan Xiaopang was really drunk, she wouldn't abandon him on the roadside.

Is she crazy? If something really happens to Fan Xiaopang, she'll be finished.

……

On the bus, Fan Xiaopang sobered up as soon as he got in.

Those two sisters are no good.

He pretended to leave early, secretly stayed in the parking lot to wait for her, and even said he would drop her in the middle of the road, deliberately trying to embarrass her.

Fortunately, Chang Jihong arrived in time to help her out of the predicament.

Just wait, she'll remember this grudge. Once she becomes the top star at Starry Sky Films, she'll drain all the resources, leaving Li Bingbing with nothing.

……

Gao Yuanyuan's residence.

Gao Yuanyuan questioned Qi Yuan about whether she really had a net worth of over 100 million. Qi Yuan gave a vague answer without giving an exact number, but Gao Yuanyuan could guess the approximate figure.

Qi Yuan had no intention of showing off his family's wealth in front of outsiders.

Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Tong are on the same side, and as a close confidant, I can reveal about 70-80% of the details.

Moreover, there are more and more female demons around him. Fan Xiaopang wants to win him over tonight. If it weren't for Li Bingbing and her sister interfering, Fan Xiaopang would definitely stick to him and not let go.

Qi Yuan has never claimed to be a pure and good man.

Let Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Tong know his background. If they find out he has entanglements with other women, they might turn a blind eye.

When Gao Yuanyuan was with Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan was worth tens of millions.

When Zhang Tong was with Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan was just an ordinary landlord's son.

They all have sunk costs; if they withdraw, wouldn't that just benefit those women? They won't easily give up until the very last moment.

Of course, Qi Yuan is just a scumbag, not a scumbag.

He is very generous to the women around him. This new house, worth 80 yuan, is registered in Gao Yuanyuan's name. Zhang Tong also has a house of the same price.

If you can't give complete love, try your best to be fair in other aspects.

Having ascertained Qi Yuan's financial background, Gao Yuanyuan excitedly used all her skills, finding it quite an accomplishment to have a man worth hundreds of millions under her.

Zhang Tong's situation is similar.

So during his time in the capital, Qi Yuan shuttled back and forth, sweating profusely every day, feeling both tired and happy.

……

February 1st, just three days until Lunar New Year's Eve.

Sichuan Province.

Guan Yuanliang is just an ordinary office worker. A few days ago, he returned home for the holidays and, at the age of 25, began to face pressure to get married.

Just now, he went out for a walk and was urged by his many aunts and uncles to get married late, so he quickly went home to watch TV.

After Guan Yuanliang earned money working, he installed a satellite dish at home, which allowed him to receive signals from various TV stations across the country.

Sometimes, you can receive signals from foreign TV stations in the middle of the night, and the content broadcast by foreign TV stations is very exciting.

Guan Yuanliang usually doesn't tell outsiders this secret.

In the past few days, Guan Yuanliang has been watching the CCTV-1 New Year's drama "The Bauhinia Medal".

He was a little confused as to why he always heard an advertising slogan during today's commercial break.

'Wuliangye's springtime glory is brilliant, its fragrance has intoxicated the world for three thousand years.'

He's memorized the entire advertising slogan.

Just then, today's episode of "The Bauhinia Medal" finished airing, and he switched to CCTV-6.

Then... he saw something incredible.

The first thing that caught his eye was a mountain range shrouded in mist; the scene and colors were absolutely stunning, instantly captivating his gaze. The background music was also quite pleasant.

Could this be a movie trailer made by some famous director?
Raindrops patter on bamboo leaves. A shot cuts to the lake, where a man in a blue robe stands in the middle of a bamboo raft, holding a bamboo pole for propelling the boat in one hand.

Hey!
Guan Yuanliang exclaimed in disgust at the atmosphere, saying it had the feel of a martial arts blockbuster.

The next shot is a close-up, the camera cuts to Qi Yuan's face, and Guan Yuanliang realizes for the first time what "sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes" really mean—he's so handsome!

The next second, a woman in flowing robes appeared above the bamboo, creating a breathtaking scene.

At this moment, Zhang Shaohan's powerful voice rang out: "The spring waters of the river flow endlessly, my dreams are filled with longing."

Then came Qi Yuan's singing: "A spring rain falls all night, my dreams never end, you are so affectionate and tender."

Martial arts, ancient style, bamboo forest, and superb slow-motion language—Chinese aesthetics are palpable.

Guan Yuanliang was completely stunned. This martial arts movie is amazing! Every frame is as beautiful as a painting.
