There are plenty of people in this world more handsome than Qi Hui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about those long-legged oppas in your country—so cool, so tall, so dashing, such flower boys!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Chixuan looked at Li Caihua in confusion. Why did Caihua think those pancake faces were good-looking, and not think Qi Hui was good-looking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, don't you think the men in your country have high standards? They can sing, dance, act, and they are so good to girls, so attentive to girls.\" Li Caihua continued her output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe...\" Qiu Chixuan gave a forced smile. Those men wouldn't even treat her to a watermelon or a barbecue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those people, using that money to please a girl was not as good as taking the money straight to a nightclub; they could meet more and better ones anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, where do you think a Han River's worth of sildenafil comes from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the flicker of indifference on Qiu Chixuan's face, Li Caihua felt a wave of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why wouldn't she listen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainland boys were unsophisticated and lacked romantic flair, and they had a whole family to support. How could they compare to boys from Hong Kong and South Korea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, under the electric fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui listened to Lei Jiayin complain about Li Caihua and subconsciously rubbed his chin: \"Listening to you say that, is she messing with you on purpose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She dares!?\" Lei Da widened his eyes and said domineeringly: \"Do you think this is the nineties, or just after the turn of the millennium?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That woman is just yapping with her mouth. How many years has it been since that incident with Little White Dragon? How are those two doing now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One was directly blacklisted, and the other's fame was cut in half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, two years ago, Brother Guanxi sent away the new generation of actors from Hong Kong in one fell swoop. People over there haven't been qualified to compete with us for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qi Hui nodded: \"That's true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Guanxi is a good man, sending welfare and opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course... one thing is one thing, let's continue,\" Lei Jiayin continued: \"Although that woman can't do anything to us, she makes people very uncomfortable. I wish I could slap her across the face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Acting with her, my whole body feels off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you, it's best to keep a few packs of cigarettes in your pocket. Smoke when you feel uncomfortable inside, don't hold it in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it weren't for the fact that she's a woman, you'd see how I'd beat her up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, Lei Jiayin said viciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui rubbed his chin, thoughtful, then nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of what he had seen and heard at the Magnolia Awards ceremony. Hong Kong actors, and even foreigners, had an inexplicable arrogance when facing the mainland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn't know where they got their confidence from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time drifted by, and it was time to start work again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The executive director was sent off to film, while Director Lin pulled Qi Hui and Li Caihua aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The next filming plan is the scene where Aili seduces Hong Shixian,\" Director Lin said: \"This part of the scene is very important. I hope you will give it your twelve-point energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This part of the plot was the most important of all; it was the beginning of Hong Shixian's fall and the catalyst for the plot's development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" Qi Hui nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, how many kissing scenes are there?\" Li Caihua suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin flipped through the documents in his hand: \"I haven't counted, but there are quite a few.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can the kissing scenes be postponed? Or help me find a body double,\" Li Caihua said: \"I'm not ready yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui glanced at her, his gaze full of interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really just as Lei Jiayin said—not easy to get along with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then get ready now. It cannot be postponed, and there are no body doubles,\" Director Lin didn't indulge her and said flatly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have much time left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\" Li Caihua's expression changed slightly, she nodded repeatedly, then her eyes rolled and she said: \"This is what I'm thinking: filming intimate scenes requires hugging and cuddling, and also kissing scenes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But look at how hot the weather is now, can we postpone it a bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The effect won't be very good if we film now. We can't have two people sweating profusely and still hugging each other, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what about the clothes? They'll be soaked in sweat before we even hug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Director Lin rubbed his chin. He could see that this woman was slacking off, or rather, she was somewhat resistant to working with Qi Hui, but there was some logic to what she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it, Director Lin agreed to the proposal: \"Fine, let's switch to another scene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Film the water scene, the one where you drown and die in the finale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\" Qi Hui had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't originally know how to swim, but hadn't he just brushed a swimming skill from Lei Jiayin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Director.\" Li Caihua breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face: \"I know how to swim too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, finish today's scenes first. Wait for notification for the water scene,\" Director Lin said. He had to go prepare, report to the government, and find kayaks, lifebuoys, life jackets, and lifeguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it wasn't just the finale scene between Hong Shixian and Aili that needed to be filmed; Lin Pinyu's drowning scene had to be filmed too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't film them separately, could they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would mean writing two applications and filing two reports. Just thinking about it made him feel it was a hassle, so he had to talk to Qiu Chixuan's side as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene required some preparation time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin left in a hurry, taking a moment to give instructions to the executive director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the original filming plan had changed, Li Caihua had to go and film a few shots with Lei Jiayin's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui, on the other hand, was rarely free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, he was the one busy while Lei Jiayin was free, but now it was the other way around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui took out his phone to see if Jing Tian had sent any messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl had a strong desire to express herself; she would share things from school with him or talk about other things at the drop of a hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui liked listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Yang Mi, who was a bit long-winded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several times, Qi Hui had wanted to find some mysterious URLs and codes to send to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep, beep, beep~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message notification sound rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, I uploaded that video to several websites. Your popularity is so high!\" Jing Tian said, and also sent a screenshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I forgot you're using mobile QQ now *ଘ(⸝⸝•༝•⸝⸝)੭\" Jing Tian continued, adding a blushing, shy emoticon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... it's fine, I'll watch it when I get back,\" Qi Hui replied: \"The netizens didn't scold me in the comments, did they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, the netizens all say you have so many saucy lines,\" Jing Tian laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you put those lines of Xie Ruolin's into one video, I realized you had so many saucy lines, hahaha... ~(‾⌣‾~)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui's face darkened. Why did everyone say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those lines of Xie Ruolin's were clearly life philosophies, okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, thank you, Junior Sister. I'll treat you to a big meal when I get back,\" Qi Hui said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alrighty,\" Jing Tian replied: \"But what if I get fat from eating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her room in the Imperial Capital, Jing Tian had already picked up her dumbbells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to lose the fat in advance so she could eat freely when Qi Hui returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's better to have a little meat on you,\" Qi Hui said: \"Our female lead, her legs are as thin as bamboo poles. Even wearing black silk stockings can't save them. It's ugly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this...\" Seeing this sentence, Jing Tian tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately stopped exercising and pulled over a mirror to look at the shape of her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she pictured herself wearing black silk stockings in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I try black silk stockings too?\" Jing Tian's big eyes rolled around. She had never worn black silk stockings before.\u003C\u002Fp>",1442,"2026-06-21T03:10:06.472Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e2fa7cdbb810f61260c14d29fa500e94c825ab00fbc2809fa97233c56afef4bb","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-51","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-49",202,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-cover.jpg"]
