Chapter 281 Winning Even While Lying Down (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"You'll drain me dry sooner or later!"

The fake Taoist priest sighed. He had thought that he had been practicing martial arts since childhood and was proficient in the sword techniques of various schools and sects, making him a modern sword master.

Given Qi Hao's relatively minor acting experience, there's no way he'll ever find himself unable to demonstrate his swordsmanship.

However, who would have thought that Qi Hao would release several films in a single year?

Furthermore, the films and animated films that Qi Hao invested in also came to him to practice swordsmanship.

If this continues, even the founding master might be exhausted to death.

Unfortunately, these moviemakers are all very wealthy; they give just too much.

Master Suiyun could only prepare more offerings to make the patriarch work overtime.

We'll work like oxen and horses for a few more years, until our disciples and grand-disciples have earned enough money to renovate the main hall for our ancestor and build a tall tower.

"Be sincere, and bring out the foot massage parlor in your mind. My box office target for this movie is 300 million!"

Qi Hao was very puzzled as to how such a fake Taoist priest hadn't been struck by lightning. Could it be because he had connections?

He must be some kind of reincarnated demon.

"Three hundred million... Hmph, if I, Daoist Master, were to take action, I'd have to come up with at least five hundred million."

The fake Taoist priest twirled his sword and, with his four disciples, began their performance in a flurry of movements.

I must say, their business skills are truly exceptional.

Even the four young Taoist priests he brought were performing quite well. Qi Hao seriously suspected that this Taoist temple had adapted to the market and transformed its business, and was now starting to focus on martial arts.

"Take off your clothes!"

After the fake Taoist finished demonstrating his swordsmanship, Qi Hao felt a bit itchy to practice. He often practiced swordsmanship whenever he had free time, and he had already learned several of the fake Taoist's sword techniques.

"Please show some respect to monks, damn it!"

The fake Taoist priest quickly took off his outer robe, revealing that he was wearing clothes underneath, so there was no need to worry about him being exposed.

If someone is forced to take off their clothes while completely naked inside, it will make the headlines.

New director Qi Hao forcibly removed a Taoist priest's clothes on set. Is this a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay?

Qi Hao felt a little uncomfortable wearing the Taoist robe.

However, he was still very handsome when he wielded a sword, and An Feng almost drooled while watching.

Whose boyfriend is so handsome? Mine is his!
She realized that she did indeed prefer good-looking people.

"Taoist Master, what do you think of mine?"

The more Qi Hao came into contact with Taoist culture, the more he liked it.

He also became friends with the unruly fake Taoist priest.

Some monks and Taoist priests always put on a sanctimonious facade when you're with them, but you know they're just pretending, and you'll feel disgusted from the bottom of your heart.

But fake Taoist priests are different.

This guy is so down-to-earth.

"My box office is 500 million, see if you can add another 200 million to yours."

The fake Taoist priest took the sword from Qi Hao and offered his blessing.

"Seven hundred million? That's more like a dream."

Qi Hao clapped his hands, and the film preparations began.

Since it's a campus youth film, the makeup is basically non-existent; just a little bit is enough to prevent glare from the camera.

After changing their clothes, everyone looked like high school students.

"Brother Lei, this doesn't seem like you!"

Lin Gengxin originally thought he would feel awkward wearing high school clothes, but he didn't expect Lei Jiayin to be even more exaggerated than him.

"Here……"

Lei Jiayin was on the verge of tears, but he couldn't just give up.

"It's okay. There will always be one or two people in the class who are not good-looking. Our extras are all college students, so they all look a bit older."

Qi Hao had anticipated this.

The character played by Lei Jiayin possesses a maturity and shrewdness beyond his years.

If you really find actors who are too young, they might not be able to pull it off.

"I will try my best to act!"

Playing young is also a form of acting; he even got a new hairstyle specifically for it.

Lei Jiayin pondered this role for a long time and even wrote a short biography for him.

"Everyone to your positions, get ready to start filming."

Qi Hao straightened his clothes. He wasn't worried about whether he looked like a high school student or not, since his previous work, "A Little Thing Called First Love," had already proven that he was perfectly fine.

At most, he just lost a lot of weight because he dieted.

However, this thinness will also make Qi Hao more recognizable and distinguish him from his previous film.

An Feng's hairstyle in her last movie was a short bob that reached her ears, which looked cute and charming.

Her hair has grown long now, and the stylist tied it into a high ponytail, which not only makes her look pure but also adds a touch of goddess-like charm.

It better fits the character of the academic genius in this movie.

The first shot was a scene in the classroom, which wasn't difficult; the main challenge was that all the characters were present.

Five men and two women all came out. "Shen Jiayi, I'll perform a magic trick for you..."

This scene is not difficult at all. As long as you don't act stiffly and act naturally, there won't be any problems.

One shot after another, they pushed forward.

Qi Hao didn't stop for a moment; he had to finish filming the movie in a short period of time.

Although the actors have all changed, most of the original crew has remained behind the scenes, making filming very easy.

"Pass!"

"This one is approved too!"

"Lei Jiayin is not bad. Lin Gengxin, stop laughing a little."

Qi Hao doesn't know who will achieve more in the future, Lei Jiayin or Lin Gengxin, but their acting skills are obvious, and their attitudes are also a problem.

Lin Gengxin has a somewhat cynical attitude, while Lei Jiayin is much more serious when performing.

He has a heart full of devotion to performing.

"Click, Anfeng, turn your head more naturally, don't stiffen your head."

Some actors like to stiffen their necks while filming, as if they think their necks are beautiful. But in reality, any kind of visual abruptness will affect the audience's immersion in the story.

"You're too tall. If I want to see your face, I have to twist my head like this."

An Feng sat in his seat as Qi Hao passed by him.

This scene was actually filmed very beautifully; it was a close-up shot that perfectly showcased An Feng's good looks.

Twenty-three-year-old An Feng has shed the naivety of her youth, but her face still radiates youthful energy.
"Pull the table out a bit to create more walkway space."

Qi Hao instructed the props team to get to work, and they quickly resolved the problems in the scene.

They filmed several scenes on the first day, and things naturally went better day by day after that.

Qi Hao saved the main event for last.

If it's the first time two actors who aren't very familiar with each other are working together, Qi Hao might arrange a kissing scene right away, so that they should get to know each other better.

However, it was unnecessary for Qi Hao and An Feng.

The two didn't need any adjustment period at all; they could start working together right away.

While Qi Hao is filming here, "Lost in Thailand" is already making waves on the other side.

Surprisingly, the booking for this event, which was in the middle of nowhere, was surprisingly good.

Among the films released at the same time, "The Spy Who Loved Me," "Don't Look Back," and "A Good Rain Knows When to Fall" are all powerless and have been showing for several days.

Only "Future X-Cops" looks somewhat impressive.

However, it was just a bluff.

The pairing of Wang Jing with Andy Lau can only be described as another money-grabbing, terrible film.

Andy Lau has a great reputation for being popular, which has led to him making a lot of bad movies.

Because good relationships are won through compromise, and if you don't compromise, you'll inevitably face a barrage of insults and abuse within the industry.

What's it like to have no rivals?
It's an experience where you can win even while lying down!

Released on Thursday, it grossed 2200 million on its opening day.

People in the industry are incredibly envious.

In fact, Qi Hao didn't understand either. He just randomly chose a time slot, so how did he become invincible in the same period?

His expectation for the movie "Lost in Thailand" was only 50 million yuan at the box office.

With a budget of eight million, a box office of fifty million is already quite good.

The box office has already exceeded 22 million on the first day. If no strong competitors emerge in the following period, it will definitely be heading towards 200 to 300 million in box office revenue.

Moreover, it was precisely because it had no competitors at the same time that its reputation spread more easily.

There is no harm without comparison.

Some professional film critics wrote such compelling reviews that Qi Hao felt quite embarrassed.

That's a bit of an overstatement.

Some people say that "Lost in Thailand" conveys hope and warmth in a humorous way.

This movie is like a mirror, reflecting the joys and sorrows of life. Amidst laughter and tears, we can feel the warmth and beauty of life.

Some say it's a comedy film that's both hilarious and thought-provoking.

Some movies are worth watching repeatedly.

When you're unhappy, turn it on, and your bad mood will disappear.

Apart from Stephen Chow's comedies, which possess such magic, there are very few comedies in mainland China that have achieved such classic status.

Now there's another one—"Lost in Thailand"!
Qi Hao really didn't spend much money on marketing. Even with additional publicity and distribution costs, the film only added a meager two million.

Bona's boss, Yu Dong, approached Qi Hao several times, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to pay for the publicity himself.

Hua Yi has already gone public!

His Bernard is still thinking of making another attempt.

With such a great opportunity, what's a few million to just make a sound?
