Chapter 289 is truly heartbreaking (Seeking monthly votes)
In the past, the system would directly issue stocks, without the host having to rack their brains to choose or spend money to buy them.

The money is deposited directly into the account, and everyone is brainwashed.

It behaves like a high-tech alien intelligent system.

Now they're only giving information.

Qi Hao guessed that this information might be telling the host that this company called Xiaomi would become incredibly successful in the future.

As long as the host invests money, there will be returns hundreds or thousands of times over.

If an ordinary person received such information, they might actually have a chance to achieve upward social mobility.

Sell ​​the house, the car, and the wife—forget about the wife, we can't sell her—and borrow some money to scrape together two million to invest in this promising company.

They quickly reaped tenfold returns.

Turning two million into twenty million is indeed a leap in social class—and that's only a tenfold return; what if it were a hundredfold?

However, compared to before, Qi Hao still felt he had lost out.

Previously, ten million Tencent shares were given away without Qi Hao having to spend a single penny. Is there any reward more satisfying than that?

That's how Qi Hao amassed his billions.

Moreover, the system also provides after-sales service.

The reason why Qi Hao has so much money to buy 10 million Tencent shares is because Qi Hao is like a mini-Buffett. While being a celebrity, he also invests in the global financial market.

Compared to celebrities, he is more of a successful financier.

The globally renowned Donghao Venture Capital is his.

Another issue is that since the system has given us the name Xiaomi, Qi Hao could have easily found out about it himself and invested directly. Why would he need any business information?

That stupid system leaked the questions.

Of course, this new task still needs to be done in order to refresh the subsequent tasks.

Qi Hao extracted the script for "Lost in Thailand" and began to read it.

The first page reads:

Directed by Xu Zheng, written by Xu Zheng, Ding Ding, and Shu Huan, and starring Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo...

Producer: Chen Zhixi; Executive Producers: Wang Changtian, Li Xiaoping…

Photography, Fine Arts...

Start date, wrap date, release date...

Qi Hao was stunned after reading the first page.

Mist grass!

Is this how you play it?
Similar things have been in the scripts I've received before, but those scripts have already been published, so it's not surprising that they have this information.

But since this "Lost in Thailand" script hasn't been released yet, it seems particularly strange that this information appears on it.

An atmosphere of suspense and horror immediately enveloped us.

Qi Hao quickly patted Ao Bai, reminding it to protect its master.

If a ghost comes, pounce on it.

It's so cute...

Director Xu Zheng.

Why Xu Zheng?

Qi Hao certainly knew Xu Zheng; Xu Zheng had become famous in 2000.

His most famous work is "Journey to the West: The Sequel", while Xu Zheng's most famous work is "Spring Bright Pigsy", both of which can be considered derivative works based on the Journey to the West theme.

Xu Zhengren was the male lead, while Qi Hao was just a major supporting actor in "Journey to the West: The Sequel". Moreover, "Spring Bright Pigsy" had very good ratings and word-of-mouth, while "Journey to the West: The Sequel" had decent ratings, but its word-of-mouth was terrible.

Repeating an action three times got him ridiculed to no end.

However, Qi Hao also starred in another drama, "Wrong Carriage, Right Groom," in the same year, which solidified his position in the industry.

Although Xu Zheng had some popular works afterward, such as "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "Love Across Time and Space" and "Love Transfer", he remained lukewarm in popularity. In addition, as he got older, his position in the entertainment industry became more and more awkward.

Currently, he can only play middle-aged men in family dramas such as "A Good Man Takes Charge" and "Dad, Run!"

I heard that he curried favor with Ning Hao and played minor supporting roles in "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racer". He finally got a lead role in "No Man's Land" from Ning Hao, but the movie was filmed and then met with the tragic fate of not being approved by the censors.

Even if it passes the censorship in the future, it will definitely be released quietly.

If the box office is low and he doesn't win any major awards, it won't help him improve or solve his current predicament.

Qi Hao quickly figured it out.

Perhaps, if he hadn't acted in "Lost in Thailand," Xu Zheng might have taken the role.

After starring in "Lost on Journey", Xu Zheng left Ye Weimin and became the director himself, making "Lost on Journey 2", which had a huge change in style and content compared to the first film.

After reading the script, Qi Hao felt that while the second part and the first part weren't entirely unrelated, they were worlds apart.

Qi Hao also noticed that the casting for the movie on the first page of the credits was quite good.

Xu Zheng definitely won't look for him.

Since Qi Hao acted in the first part, he wouldn't ask someone else to act in the second part out of "guilt" or anything like that.

Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo are indeed very suitable.

I might as well have them do the calculations.

It's this Tao Hong...

Although it felt quite suitable, it was such an ordinary role, yet they went to great lengths to find Xu Zheng's wife to play it.

It would be strange if Xu Zheng didn't overthink it.

Qi Hao checked the script a bit, removed anything that didn't fit the script, and then brought in Ye Weimin.

"What is this?"

Ye Weimin opened the file bag, completely bewildered.

"script……"

Qi Hao gave Ye Weimin a chance to write "Lost in Thailand 2", but unfortunately he was busy with post-production for the first film and film promotion, so he never produced a complete script.

If he doesn't perform well when given a chance, then he can't blame the investors for providing the script themselves.

"Lost in Thailand 2? Holy crap, where did that come from?!"

Ye Weimin was startled.

Since the movie "Lost in Thailand" became a hit, he went from being a minor director in Hong Kong to one of the most successful Hong Kong directors to enter the mainland market, and he began to rack his brains to write the script for the second movie.

Lost on Journey 2.0, Lost on Journey 2.1...

He has at least a dozen versions of the script in his database. Although most of them are unfinished and some are just ideas, they still represent his efforts.

Why did they just give me a finished script?

Boss, you really don't appreciate my hard work and effort.

"Take a look." Qi Hao didn't waste any more words; only the script itself was truly convincing.

If Yip Wai-man doesn't know what's good for him, he wouldn't mind replacing him with a director named Qi Hao. The script is very well-made; it wouldn't affect the quality of the film regardless of who directs it.

"Thailand……"

Ye Weimin quickly flipped through the script, becoming more and more engrossed in it.

He finally realized that he had gotten himself into the wrong mindset. The script he made based solely on the concept of the Spring Festival travel rush was indeed very mediocre; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed to show it to Qi Hao.

Now, stepping outside the concept of "Spring Festival travel rush" and grasping the core of "journey of mishaps," this new story immediately becomes clear.

Moreover, the second part is no longer simply a story about two people.

The first one is somewhat similar to the format of "Shut Up, You!", both being stories about being silly and unhappy.

Wang Baoqiang is clueless, and Qi Hao is unhappy.

The addition of Gao Bo in the second part immediately made the story fresh and interesting.

One person is carefree, two people are living life, three people are fighting to the death.

Qi Hao didn't urge him, leisurely sipping his tea.

The quality of scripts produced by Brother Tong is definitely guaranteed.

Where did this script come from?

Ye Weimin glanced at it briefly and was so shocked that he couldn't tell which way was which.

"I...I wrote it."

Qi Hao couldn't very well say that it was written by someone else, otherwise it would be very frustrating if he couldn't find a screenwriter when it came time to film the movie.

"Do not make jokes."

Ye Weimin simply didn't believe it, because Qi Hao had never written a script before, so how could he possibly write such a high-quality script?

"Otherwise, who do you think wrote it? I have no reason to do something as disgusting as having someone write it and then signing it."

Qi Hao was very serious; he even believed it himself.

"When did you start writing? Where did you find the time to write the script?"

Ye Weimin felt a little sad.

He spent so long getting someone to write it, and even took hundreds of thousands of yuan in scriptwriting funding from Qi Hao, and all he got was this rubbish.

Even if you do your best, it might not be as good as someone else doing it casually.

That's absolutely heartbreaking.

Ye Weimin's heart was breaking more than the filling chopped by the village aunt at that moment.

"Actually, I started thinking about this after I acted in the first one. One day, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought I would try writing one myself. If you think it's good, then you can continue to direct it."

Qi Hao is indeed capable of directing himself.

However, now that he has reached this position, as a boss, there is really no need for him to claim all the glamour for himself.

Give your subordinates opportunities to prove themselves.

Even if he's not the director, he can still interfere with the filming process, and if the effect he wants isn't achieved, he'll insist on reshooting.

"Great, absolutely fantastic, thank you... boss!"

Ye Weimin was truly convinced this time.

The copyright for "Lost in Thailand 1" is with Feiyang Media, so Qi Hao could easily kick them out and go solo.

Even if he was unhappy, there was nothing he could do.

However, Qi Hao did not do that and still gave him the opportunity.

A boss like that makes you want to work yourself to death.

"As for the lead role, Baoqiang and I will continue. As for the character Gao Bo, what do you think of Huang Bo? When I was writing the script, the character that flashed through my mind was him."

Qi Hao seamlessly immerses himself in the role of the screenwriter.

"Huang Bo? The Huang Bo from 'Crazy Stone'? Of course he's perfect for the role. Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel he's absolutely perfect for it."

What opinions could Ye Weimin possibly have?

Even if the boss is being polite to you, don't take yourself too seriously.

Otherwise, you'll experience the vicious tactics of capital.

Moreover, after careful consideration, Ye Weimin realized that Huang Bo was indeed a very suitable candidate.

Both her appearance and acting skills are very suitable.

Huang Bo and Zhang Jiahui won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor last year.

"You can handle the rest. Take a few months off and then get back to work."

Qi Hao gave Ye Weimin a few months' leave.

The system information states that this movie was released on December 12, 2012.

It’s only March 2010.

Ye Weimin left happily with the script.

Although the script hasn't been registered yet, given Qi Hao's current power and status, no one would dare to embezzle his property.

As April 18th approached, Qi Hao and An Feng went to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony together.

They were all actors in "Bodyguards and Assassins".

Although this film is a co-production, it involved a large number of local Hong Kong people, so it was also classified as a Hong Kong film and received a lot of nominations.

Qi Hao was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and An Feng was nominated for Best Newcomer.

This was also the first meeting between Qi Hao and An Feng after they confirmed their relationship.

Unfortunately, Qi Hao has been busy with post-production these past few days.

An Feng was not in the capital either; she returned to Jiangcheng to participate in local city events.

Actors are not rootless duckweed; they often receive invitations from their hometowns.

The starting point for the trip to Hong Kong was decided to be in Jiangcheng.

After all, it is a major provincial capital city, and Tianhe International Airport has direct flights.

Qi Hao also took the opportunity to visit An Feng's relatives.

Actually, he originally planned to go from Shenzhen and visit BYD's headquarters along the way.

As a shareholder holding 30 million shares, Qi Hao only needs to make a request, and they will immediately arrange a reception.

However, compared to that, my girlfriend is more important.

When An Feng revealed that her family wanted to meet Qi Hao, Qi Hao decisively chose to prioritize love over power.

BYD and Diaby, go stand in line first.
