Chapter 287 According to Insiders (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

However, the second kissing scene ultimately didn't turn out as well as expected.

So we have no choice but to keep filming.

Qi Hao really didn't intentionally arrange for such repeated takes.

He didn't need to at all.

Now that An Feng is his girlfriend, he can kiss her secretly in private.

He's not a pervert who likes to be in the spotlight.

The filming took several more takes the next day before it was deemed acceptable and met the requirements of director Qi Hao.

Fortunately, their lips didn't swell up from kissing.

Otherwise, there would be plenty of news to write about; there's simply no way to keep this kind of thing completely confidential.

There were a couple hundred people on set, and it was a noisy and confusing place.

Currently, news reports have begun to show that Qi Hao and An Feng have a kissing scene in "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

The news source was "according to insiders," which made those who read the news extremely curious and eager to criticize the media for its incompetence.

All they do all day is fabricate news; they can't even take a decent photo to substantiate the story.

There are also a lot of people asking about Qi Hao and An Feng on their Weibo accounts, and some even hope that the production company will release the trailer soon.

It's fair to say that it has completely raised the audience's expectations.

During the filming of "You Are the Apple of My Eye", several other campus youth films also started filming at the same time.

It's clear that the popularity of "First Love" has inspired a trend of copycats within the industry.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Any popular theme will attract the attention of capital.

As long as capital provides the money, there will be plenty of people eager to get involved. The only question is the quality of these subsequent campus youth films made in response to this trend.

Having gained experience from the first kissing scene, the second one was not difficult at all.

The biggest problem is actually the worry that the actors will catch a cold.

In April, the weather in Tianjin is still quite cold. The daytime temperature is okay, but the nighttime temperature often hovers around ten degrees Celsius.

The scene in the rain was originally supposed to be about the two arguing and parting on bad terms.

However, the film introduces the concept of a parallel world. In the male protagonist's final fantasy, the male and female protagonists open their hearts to each other and kiss in the rain.

"The temperature is 15 degrees Celsius at night. I have prepared ginger soup and a few dry coats. If that doesn't work, I'll have them bring warm water."

Lu Yang reported his arrangements to Qi Hao.

Qi Hao looked at An Feng.

An Feng nodded, then shook his head: "This is fine. We don't need warm water; that would be too much trouble."

Spraying warm water won't have much effect either.

Warm water cools down quickly after being splashed out, and it will quickly become wet and cold when poured on your body.

Such sudden changes in temperature can actually cause problems.

Moreover, sprinkling warm water when the temperature is low can easily produce mist.

Many actors have to hold ice cubes in their mouths while filming summer scenes in winter, otherwise the steam from their mouths would be visible and give away the mistake.

"While the feeling is still there, let's film the kissing scene first, and then the others..."

Qi Hao felt somewhat guilty towards An Feng.

What couple would work overtime like this after confirming their relationship?

Today's shoot was still a night scene.

Qi Hao didn't have much time to spend with his girlfriend either. His movie was being filmed, edited, and post-produced simultaneously. Once it was almost finished filming and editing, it was almost done as well.

Qi Hao even worked overtime to record the movie's theme song, "Those Years".

This song was packaged together with the script.

The lyrics were written by Ke Jingteng, and the music was composed by a person named Kimura Mitsutoshi.

Ke Jingteng used all the money he raised from selling T-shirts online to make this song.

According to his original plan, if he couldn't find anyone to invest, he would release the song first, use the song to make a name for himself, and attract others to invest in the project.

Later, when Feiyang Media was collecting scripts, this song was also acquired.

Qi Hao can sing, so he simply sang it himself.

Besides this song, Qi Hao also asked Jin Dazhou to help him collect new songs, and he also bought the copyrights for the old songs that appeared in the movie.

Because the previous kissing scene was filmed many times, Qi Hao and An Feng found their rhythm, and not too much time had passed, so this kissing scene in the rain was much less difficult.

The desired effect was achieved in just two takes.

As soon as the director called out, An Feng was immediately draped in a coat by his assistant.

There are also heaters blowing directly at people.

The film crew has an electrical box; as long as you have enough influence, you can use the crew's electricity to do your own thing.

Qi Hao's case is simple.

Although he was only wearing a vest, he was an older virgin with a lot of internal heat and high body temperature.

There were several scenes in the rain, and it took about three days to film them all.

Late at night, Qi Hao shouted:
"Filming wrapped!"

The hundred or so people on set applauded together to celebrate this moment.

Of course, the staff were mainly doing this out of respect for Qi Hao.

In fact, the longer a movie takes to film, the more money they get. A small portion of them are paid based on the number of scenes, but most are paid a monthly salary.

Under normal circumstances, a movie that only takes a month to shoot won't earn you much money at all.

However, Qi Hao was willing to pay.

You can earn more working for him in a month than you would earn working for someone else in two months.

Moreover, since filming here is finished early, we can join another crew sooner, so it's not a loss in the long run.

Some staff members even signed agreements with Zhonghao Entertainment due to their outstanding work.

Once you sign the contract, you can receive a basic salary regularly.

When Qi Hao has a project, he'll directly hire these people to form the crew, and they'll receive an extra salary during filming. Rich companies will find every way to spend money; the pursuit of excellence is endless.

Of course, the premise is that you are good enough.

Many companies in their growth phase are like this; they are willing to spend money on talent.

Once the company enters a stable or even declining period, all the money will end up in the leaders' pockets. A CEO of a listed company would feel ashamed if he couldn't embezzle hundreds of millions.

The moment Qi Hao shouted "Filming wrapped," the system notified him that the task was complete.

This surprised Qi Hao.

They said the mission was only complete once the movie was "released," so how come the mission is considered complete as soon as filming here is finished?

The word "appear in the world" originally meant "to be presented to the world," not "to be presented to the audience."

I should have known better than to film and edit at the same time.

Every day I'm exhausted, I can't even guarantee eight hours of training time, and I often end up sleeping in the hotel on the mysterious director's chair.

Now that the settlement could be made, Qi Hao didn't delay. After finishing his wrap-up dinner that day, he settled the accounts on his way back.

[Mission 28 completed. Reward: Deception Skill +10, Script "I Am Legend (Richard Mason)", 30.4 million shares of BYD stock]

[Complete the task and receive a training opportunity]

[Choose one of three NPCs to train: Wu Jing/Lei Jiayin/Zhao Liying]

[New tasks are now being posted]

[Task 29: Once upon a time, a film grossing over 100 million yuan was almost a "luxury." Now, with rapid economic development and consecutive years of high-speed growth in domestic box office revenue, grossing over 100 million yuan is no longer the exclusive domain of a select few. We hope the host will become a member of the 100 Million Yuan Club. Task Difficulty: 5 stars, Time Limit: 730 days]

[Rewards for completing the mission: Director +10, script "Lost in Thailand 2", 1000 million Tencent stock]

Mission accomplished, I received BYD stock.

however……

What does 3040 million shares mean?

Isn't it 800 million shares?
It shouldn't be because of exceeding the task target.

Fortunately, since the task of rewarding BYD stock was launched, Qi Hao had learned a little about the company.

2007年6月30日，该公司以5.395亿股本为基数，按每10股转增28股的方式增加总股本，使股本增加至20.501亿股。

Case solved!
10 shares will receive 28 bonus shares.

The original 800 million shares were given as a gift of 2240 million shares, which, together with the original 800 million shares, makes a total of 3040 million shares.
However, BYD's stock price has fallen quite drastically recently.

Previously, after being favored by Buffett, the stock price surged to HK$80 per share, and now it appears to be HK$31.60 per share.

Even so, this wealth, which has increased to more than 30 million shares, is still worth more than 800 million RMB.

That's fucking awesome!

I thought it was a mediocre stock, but who knew it would distribute so many shares?

Qi Hao originally planned to sell the BYD shares as soon as he got them, since BYD's performance wasn't particularly good and domestic cars seemed to have been consistently weak.

Now that I have so many shares, I suddenly feel reluctant to part with them, and I don't know what the future holds for BYD.

Qi Hao plans to wait and see, or find a professional agency to conduct an evaluation, or go to the company in person to see and talk to the bosses.

This hand of money sold for 800 million, and figuring out how to spend the money is a real headache.

In fact, most companies do not want to have too much cash flow on their books.

Cash flow is subject to income tax.

That's why companies like Tencent, Baidu, and NetEase engage in various acquisitions in the capital market.

The plates kept getting bigger and bigger.

In the short term, Qi Hao did not have much of a need for cash.

The hundreds of millions in profits from "First Love" and "Lost in Thailand" are still waiting for him to spend them.

The new training NPCs weren't very interesting, so Qi Hao decisively chose random.

Wu Jing/Lei Jiayin/Zhao Liying quickly became Feng Xiaogang/Gu Changwei/Jiang Wenli.

All three are very good.

Qi Hao ultimately chose Gu Changwei because he is a top cinematographer in Chinese-language films, capable of both directing and cinematography, a rare talent indeed.

By selecting him, Qi Hao will have a top-tier photographer among his training NPCs.

New mission...

Qi Hao didn't quite understand.

If he were to make a movie that grosses over 100 million yuan, it certainly wouldn't be difficult.

The box office of "First Love" has exceeded 200 million yuan.

The question now is whether the task is to make a movie that grosses over 100 million yuan, or to get him into the "100 million yuan movie club".

If it's going to join the 100 million yuan movie club, then "A Little Thing Called First Love" still has two days left in theaters. Does that mean it's done its job once it's off the screens?

The movie was released on February 14th and was originally supposed to end on March 14th. However, it was short of 200 million yuan in box office revenue, so China Film Group extended the key and kept it in theaters.

It's been almost two months since it was released.

Once the movie is released, Qi Hao will officially join the 100 million yuan club.

Moreover, it grossed 200 million yuan at the box office.

This is quite interesting. If we calculate his completion of the task this way, then 730 days are completely unnecessary, not even 30 days, just three days would suffice.

The movie will be out of theaters in two days, and the box office statistics will be completed in three days. Then he can finish his task.

"Don't rush," Qi Hao said, glancing at the reward again.

Lost on Journey 2?
it's fate.

The first "Lost in Thailand" movie is currently showing in theaters, and the script for the second movie has already been delivered to our door.

Then the problem is coming!

Does this mean we've caught up with the timeline now?

This is the first time I've seen a script I've never seen before in the mission rewards.

I was so moved I almost cried.
