Chapter 283 Am I a Young Talent?

Chapter 283 Am I a Young Talent? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Don't you plan to market your movie after it's produced? I haven't seen any marketing budget."

Even Qi Hao, the capitalist, was moved to tears.

"I don't think my movie will have much box office revenue. Marketing doesn't matter. I just need to participate in film festivals, win some awards, and sell it to TV stations to break even."

Having connections makes things convenient.

Lu Yang's father is probably too old to say, but a movie with a budget of two or three million can definitely cover his expenses.

"Raise the budget to three million, don't be so tight on the budget. As for the cost, say whatever you want."

Qi Hao's meaning is very simple: if you bring the cost down to two million, I'll give you a subsidy of three million.

It's like this: I invest two million, and when you recoup your costs, all I need to give you is one million.

"Holy crap, boss, what are you doing?"

With such a beautiful woman right in front of you, instead of trying to win her over, are you starting to covet a grown man like me?

I'm not the kind of person who would sell my body for money.

However, that's a million, so it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

"Keep an eye out for talented young people like you. I'm in dire need of talent, whether it's directors or other capable individuals working behind the scenes. Excellent compensation and plenty of opportunities..."

Qi Hao immediately started advertising.

"Me... considered a promising young talent?"

Lu Yang felt embarrassed; he was just a useless second-generation rich kid, and even his father looked down on him.

Unexpectedly, a big shot like Qi Hao actually thought he was a promising young talent.

"Uh, isn't your focus a bit off?"

I'm trying to negotiate with you, and you're busy talking about promising young talents. Don't you even know how to be polite?

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you and introduce any capable people to you."

Lu Yang patted his chest and assured him.

This will not damage his personal relationships; on the contrary, it is a way of sending blessings to talented young people.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a wise minister chooses a good lord to serve.

With a capable and generous boss like Qi Hao, how could one not achieve great things?

"Go back and get the money from Yang Liu. Have you finished your instant noodles? If you have, get back to work."

Qi Hao wasted no time at all.

"Filming! Filming!"

Lu Yang tilted his head back and drank all the noodle soup, then continued to serve Qi Hao with high spirits.

Qi Hao and An Feng playfully bickered in front of the camera.

The acting was exceptionally good, just like the real thing.

Ms. Liu has stopped trading stocks recently and now frequently comes to the film set to observe.

She didn't deliberately stop her daughter from contacting Qi Hao.

But now, watching the two of them filming, I suddenly have a feeling of sudden realization.

These two people!
It's definitely not a case of getting too caught up in the role.

They must have been secretly in love for a long time; every gesture and glance was full of tacit understanding.

Qi Hao seemed to have said something that angered An Feng, so An Feng chased after him and hit him, but his movements were very light, and his face was full of smiles.

It was less of a fight and more of a flirtation.

For a moment, Ms. Liu was completely distracted.

Ugh!
It must be admitted that Qi Hao is indeed a good match for her daughter.

No, even she, as the mother, had to admit that her daughter was somewhat unworthy of Qi Hao.

Looks don't matter; everyone gets old eventually.

You can rely on your looks to make a living in your twenties or thirties, but that won't work in your forties or fifties. Time waits for no one, regardless of who you are or whether you're even human.

What truly matters are ability, character, wealth...

If Qi Hao truly loves her daughter, then she should let them be together.

In front of the camera, Qi Hao and An Feng strolled around for a while before sitting together on a bench at the bus stop to wait for the bus.

This is a new bench that the local government specially made for filming.

So beautiful it's unbelievable.

If the feedback on these benches is very positive after the movie is released, then we will install more similar benches here.

It adds to the scenery of the scenic area.

The film crew was even helping to scatter flower petals, which, against the backdrop of the French-style buildings along the road, created a scene as beautiful as a dream.

"Shen Jiayi, after you go to university, don't let other boys get your way too quickly, okay?"

This scene still requires some acting skills.

Qi Hao acted just like a naive high school student, being cautious and hesitant when it came to relationships.

"what are you talking about."

An Feng felt a little awkward; she was embarrassed by the words, which sounded like a confession.

Unfortunately, the male protagonist ultimately did not confess his feelings.

This is probably one of the reasons why high school romances are less likely to succeed.

They are incapable of making promises about tomorrow.

They also didn't know how to fight for it.

Especially among boys and girls of the same age, boys are generally not mature enough and cannot give girls the sense of security they want.

Compared to "First Love", the male and female protagonists in "You Are the Apple of My Eye" also liked each other.

The male lead is simply not mature enough, and the female lead is not resolute enough.

Even after many years, the male and female protagonists in "First Love" still deeply love each other.

Well, you could say that "You Are the Apple of My Eye" is more realistic, while "First Love" is more like a fairy tale.

"First Love" is now showing in Thailand as well.

It did very well at the box office and was very popular in Thailand.

The original screenwriter, Putthong Prosaka Na Sakkarin, seized the opportunity to generate buzz and has already gained some fame in Thailand.

In order to promote himself, he dared not say anything bad about Qi Hao.

But when he went to sleep at night, he probably felt so angry that he hated Qi Hao, but he hated himself even more.

I'm so pathetic, really!

Why did I sell the script directly?

Can't I direct and film it myself? It won't cost much in total.

Although it sold for 240 million RMB, equivalent to 1200 million Thai Baht, it was still far behind the box office of "First Love".

This movie grossed 200 million yuan in mainland China alone.

Box office results were also good in other places. The box office in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea was even higher than in Thailand.

The global box office is already approaching 300 million RMB.

Despite holding 240 million RMB in his hand, he looked like a complete idiot, and people in the Thai film industry were laughing at him.

No, a significant portion of the 240 million has already been spent.

However, "A Little Thing Called First Love" is continuously sending money to Qi Hao.

He hated Qi Hao even more, and didn't even let him attend the victory celebration banquet.

He was invited, but it was a last-minute invitation, and he couldn't possibly make it in time.

When he heard that Qi Hao was preparing to shoot another youth film, he immediately slapped himself twice. "Damn it, how come I didn't think of that? I could write another youth film and shoot it myself."

Then everyone will know that I am the originator of youth films.

Qi Hao wasn't particularly interested in Putpong or anything like that, and he never thought about giving this Thai guy a red envelope.

That bastard slaughtered Ah Fei too ruthlessly.

A new screenwriter dares to ask for 240 million RMB? That's like taking advantage of a complete novice in the industry.

"pass!"

Lu Yang shouted, ending the filming of the last scene of the day.

This scene is a night scene.

It was already 9 p.m. when we finished work.

This is still considered early.

I've been filming like crazy lately, often finishing at one or two in the morning, and the night scenes are almost all done.

I don't know why we finished work so early today.

"I'm leaving now, please keep an eye on things for me."

Qi Hao gave Lu Yang a few instructions, then quickly got into his car and left the film crew.

An Feng and Ms. Liu passed away before him.

They left one after the other, but their destination was the same.

Qi Hao is inviting An Feng and Ms. Liu to dinner tonight.

Yes, to do our best as hosts.

He's a local from Tianjin, and it's only natural for him to treat his friends to a meal when they come here to film.

Ms. Liu couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Moreover, she has already compromised in her heart, making it even less likely that she would refuse.

What she needs to do now is no longer to stop her daughter from being with Qi Hao, nor to continue to speak ill of Qi Hao in front of her daughter—as it turns out, it's useless to say anything.

What she needs to do is observe whether Qi Hao is truly sincere towards his daughter.

That's how it's portrayed in melodramatic TV dramas.

Qi Hao was humiliated after his pursuit of An Feng failed. But fortunes change, and now that he has achieved success, he has finally decided to return for revenge.

His way of getting revenge was to catch up with An Feng, toy with her, and then dump her.

Okay, she's overthinking it.

"Auntie, is there anything you'd like to eat? You can order anything on this menu."

Qi Hao handed the menu to his future mother-in-law.

"It's almost 10 o'clock, doesn't the restaurant close?"

Ms. Liu hadn't actually planned to come for dinner so late, but unfortunately, there hadn't been any daytime hours for the past two days.

"It's okay, the owner of this restaurant is my dad's student... We can eat whatever we want, it won't bother them when they get off work."

Qi Hao can practically rule the place here.

His parents were teachers their whole lives. They wouldn't say they had students all over the world, but their students were everywhere in the Heping and Nankai areas.

I heard that my son was going to treat his mother-in-law to dinner, so I specially recommended this restaurant to her.

This restaurant is a family business passed down through generations, a century-old establishment. Although it has experienced several ups and downs, the brand has indeed existed for over a hundred years, and it has always been run by the family.

Inviting your mother-in-law to dinner this way will make you look good.

It is also relatively easy to match with the time.

"Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen. Hao Hao, where is your film crew? I'll have someone deliver food to you tomorrow."

The boss was very polite to Qi Hao.

You can't be too polite.

Not only was he Qi's father's student, but his son was also Qi's father's student.

Despite being just a small restaurant owner, he is actually highly educated, thanks to the discipline he received from his father when he was young.

It's a pity that despite her brilliant life, Teacher Qi only had a son who completed junior high school.

Those of them who were students felt sorry for their teacher.

Fortunately, Qi Hao has achieved remarkable success, which at least proves that Teacher Qi's education was effective.

Family education is also a form of education.

Without a good family education, Qi Hao would probably be stuck in a factory, not as successful as he is now.

"No need, no need, that's too much trouble. You should still thank me, senior brother!"

Qi Hao was startled.

You have to make reservations days in advance for a meal at your restaurant, yet you want to send boxed lunches to our film crew?

It's outrageous.

"We can't afford to send the whole crew, so we'll just send you a few dishes you like. It's no trouble at all. You've come to Tianjin to film, so I can't just leave without showing my appreciation."

The restaurant owner was very helpful.

They gave Qi Hao plenty of face in front of others.

He could tell that this dinner was of great significance, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered Teacher Qi to speak up.

Over the years, Teacher Qi has never used this teacher-student relationship to ask him to save a place for anyone.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Since things have come to this point, it would be too formal to refuse.

Ask Anfeng which dish he likes best, and then have a portion sent over.

The three of them started chatting after the restaurant owner left.

Qi Hao didn't immediately grab An Feng's hand and say things like, "We must be together, or we'll die if we can't be together."

We're all adults now.

It's not that naive.

Qi Hao mainly introduced the restaurant and also talked about his father's students who were similar to the restaurant owner.
