Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 288 Brother Tongzi is giving up (Seeking monthly votes)

The script for "Lost in Thailand 2" has been being worked on by Yip Wai-man.

But the effect is very unsatisfactory.

Yip Wai-man felt that the core of "Lost in Thailand" was the Spring Festival travel rush, so he thought about making a sequel around the Spring Festival travel rush.

However, most of the selling points of the Spring Festival travel rush were presented in the first part. If the second part continues to focus on the Spring Festival travel rush, it will be difficult to create any outstanding plot. Without an outstanding plot, it will be impossible to replicate the success of the first part.

So, Ye Weimin is still struggling with this.

Several versions of the script were left there, and no one dared to show any of them to Qi Hao.

Even though Qi Hao had already agreed to invest in him.

Now, the system has provided the script directly.

Although he didn't know who wrote the script, Qi Hao didn't mind having his name on it.

He's an all-rounder.

Back then, spending three or two million to buy scripts was too much of a drain on my wallet, so I started researching how to write scripts myself, and surprisingly, I actually managed to write one.

I can do a little bit of acting, I can do a little bit of directing, and now I can do a little bit of scriptwriting.

Since the system can provide it, it must be safe and reliable. It's unlikely that someone would immediately jump out and say, "How the hell did you copy my script?" after Qi Hao took it out.
In addition, the new task rewards 1000 million Penguin Stocks, which seems like the highest value ever awarded by the system.

If these stocks were sold directly, they could fetch over a billion yuan.

Of course, Qi Hao will definitely not sell these stocks for the time being.

Holding onto these stocks will not only increase their value but also allow them to realize their potential. There are many opportunities for cooperation with Tencent.

The reason for giving so many shares is that this task is indeed too difficult.

Even though the value of the "100 Million Yuan Club" is much lower than before, it's not something that can be achieved easily.

Xu Ke is awesome, right?

His highest-grossing film was "Seven Swords," which earned 8345 million.

Jiang Wen is not a member of the 100 million yuan club.

The system helped Qi Hao join the 100 million yuan club, which was extremely difficult and could only be achieved through the script provided by the system.

However, nothing the system provided was usable.

If Qi Hao wants to rely on his own abilities to achieve a box office of over 100 million, the difficulty will be exceptionally high.

Fortunately, in the first ten years without the system's help, he still developed into one of the four little heartthrobs and a movie king. He was also good at creating scandals with female stars. With his popularity, he had a natural advantage in starring in youth films like "First Love". So he smoothly joined the 100 million yuan club.

Of the previous thirty tasks (plus one main quest), the "Hundred Million Yuan Club" was undoubtedly the most difficult.

Qi Hao had asked the system about the task completion criteria, but the system seemed to have crashed.

It crashes at the slightest provocation.

I can’t afford it.

Clearly, the fact that a task could be completed in just three days shattered the system's perception and threw its programs into disarray.

However, since the task required Qi Hao to join the 100 million yuan club, and Qi Hao did indeed join the 100 million yuan club a few days later with a box office of 200 million yuan, Qi Hao felt that the system had no reason to say that he had failed to complete the task.

Qi Hao ignored the fact that the system had already crashed.

After filming wrapped, he and his team worked overtime on post-production.

Once production is complete, it will be submitted for approval and then scheduled for release.

Because the subject matter is harmless and China Film Group was hired for distribution, the film is fully capable of being released during the summer season.

This was the original plan.

I initially thought the mission would be accomplished only when the film was released, but it was completed ahead of schedule.

Since that's the case, there's no need to change the plan.

Qi Hao also took the self-study exam at the Beijing Film Academy, completed the remaining credit exams, and successfully obtained his self-study graduation certificate.

From that moment on, he transformed from a foolish junior high school student into a glorious college student.

As for whether he will become a wise college student or graduate student in the future, it depends on whether the system has any tasks in that regard. If the system doesn't have any tasks, he doesn't necessarily have to go to school.

With a net worth of billions, why bother going to school?

Surely no one would discriminate against him because of his low education level.

However, the self-taught associate degree is a small loose end left over from the previous task. Although the task has been completed, Qi Hao will still do his best to complete it.

On the day that "A Little Thing Called First Love" officially ended its run, Qi Hao indeed received a notification from the system.

I thought this thing had completely crashed and was no longer useful.

The system gave Qi Hao a very rigid notification that his task was complete.

Double happiness!
The total box office of the movie "A Little Thing Called First Love" in mainland China reached 2.07 million yuan. Although the movie's screenings were squeezed by the release of "Lost in Thailand" in the later stages, the two distributors collaborated because both movies starred Qi Hao and had Qi Hao and An Feng in supporting roles.

Everyone spread the word.

Some netizens even wrote jokes about it.

It's said that the ending of "First Love" is the female protagonist's fantasy, and that the two didn't actually end up together.

The female protagonist became a con artist, while the male protagonist went bald, had a wife and a mistress. They met during the Spring Festival but didn't recognize each other, and eventually became two parallel lines that didn't want to intersect.

That makes it all quite sad.

Because of this synergy, the box office of "First Love" saw a slight increase, ultimately exceeding 2 million yuan and even surpassing it.

The total box office of "Lost in Thailand" has exceeded 2.5 million yuan.

Although it surpassed "First Love" at the box office, it cannot be said that it is of higher quality than "First Love".

After all, "First Love" was competing against a star-studded lineup of films released during the Spring Festival, including several box office hits like "Little Big Soldier" and "Hot Summer Days." Meanwhile, "Lost in Thailand" faced no strong contenders in its release.

Such high-quality comedy films have a wider audience, and as long as the release date is chosen well and the publicity and distribution are in place, the box office performance will not be too bad.

It was inevitable that the film's theatrical run would be extended.

Berna's investment in "Fire Dragon Showdown" flopped at the box office, and its other investments didn't make much of a splash either. So, they decided to go all in and increase the promotional efforts for "Lost in Thailand".

Since Qi Hao was unwilling to increase the marketing budget, they directly advanced the funds.

Although "Lost in Thailand" was not invested in by Berna, Berna's main business is distribution, so its distribution results can naturally be touted.

According to the distribution contract they signed with Feiyang Media, if the film's box office exceeds 200 million, the distributor can get a larger percentage of the excess.

The financial report will look even better then.

They plan to list on Nasdaq by the end of this year, and their financial statements must pass muster.

Qi Hao is merely a content creator; the subsequent distribution and release of the film have little to do with him. At most, he only participates in some promotion.

He had no interest in participating in Bernard's plans.

If Berna's IPO goes smoothly and its future development is particularly good, then even the system won't look down on them.

So far, Qi Hao has not seen the system reward Bernard with shares.

Of course, the system does not guarantee long-term profits from stocks.

Aunt Hua did give a reward.

Fortunately, Qi Hao had already made transactions in the primary market from the beginning, otherwise he would have definitely suffered heavy losses.

Since the system acknowledged it, Qi Hao chose to confirm.

[Mission 29 completed. Rewards: Director +10, script "Lost in Thailand 2", 10 million Tencent stock]

[Complete the task and receive a training opportunity]

[Choose one of three NPCs to train: Lu Yang/Wang Chuan/Zhou Yun]

[New tasks are now being posted]

[Task 30: Truly good actors don't pick and choose roles. Playing a villain is more distinctive and recognizable, making it easier for people to remember them. Please play a charismatic villain. Difficulty: 4 stars, Time Limit: 365 days]

[Task Completion Rewards: Acting Skills +10, Script "My Love from the Star", Business Information (Xiaomi)]

The script for "Lost in Thailand"!
Qi Hao extracted the script, glanced through it, and found that, as the name suggested, the route this time had changed to Thailand.

In other words, the concept of the Spring Festival travel rush has been completely abandoned.

Qi Hao didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

It's estimated that the script selection committee will still need to study the feasibility of the film.

Ultimately, box office performance is what determines success.

Let's put this aside for now.

With the acquisition of 10 million shares of Tencent, Qi Hao now holds a total of 16.6 million Tencent shares.

The total number of shares outstanding for Penguin is currently 1.82852 billion.

Qi Hao's 1660 million shares account for more than 0.9% of Tencent's total shares.

The new assignment is to give Qi Hao a supporting role.

This is another hindsight task. If this task had been issued before the release of "The Message," it probably could have been completed immediately.

Clearly, something like "A Little Thing Called First Love" hasn't completely finished its run in theaters yet, which is why Qi Hao was able to complete his mission with this film.

If the film has already finished its run, the system might not recognize it anymore, so Qi Hao still needs to appear in a film that grosses over 100 million yuan.

Since the system doesn't recognize previous accounts, Qi Hao has to come up with a new plan.

However, this task is not easy.

One of the descriptions in it is quite interesting: "a charismatic villain."

With this description, Qi Hao was thinking, what the hell does it mean to be a charismatic villain?

Charisma seems to be a positive word, so what kind of charisma can a villain have?

A villain that everyone likes?

Kumārajīva from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"? Yang Kang from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? The leader of the Baiyue Cult from "Chinese Paladin 1"? Dao Ge from "Crazy Stone"? Jiang Yuyan from "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws"?

These villains aren't exactly good, but they all possess a certain charisma.

The villain that everyone hates?

An Jiahe from "Don't Talk to Strangers"? Rong Momo from "Bad Pig Brother"? Quan Guanqing from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"?
These villains are so hateful they make you grit your teeth.

From a performance perspective, it can also be considered a kind of artistic charm.

This can't be rushed; Qi Hao plans to try more things.

As for the mission reward, "My Love from the Star," I have no idea what that is.

It looks like a science fiction movie?
And then there's "Business Information (Xiaomi)," what exactly is that?

I only found out after asking the system.

The system has been revamped and no longer directly rewards users with stocks; instead, it provides the host with high-quality business information.

As for how the host chooses to proceed after receiving this information, that's none of the system's business.

I have a feeling that after being hit hard, Tongzi Ge just gave up.
