Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 315 You Want Me to Die (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Besides refusing to participate in the film festival, Qi Hao also retaliated.

Zhao Yanzi's past, which had been suppressed, was brought up again, with even more shocking revelations added.

From everyday scandals to various "international relations," it perfectly reveals just how this once adorable girl with big eyes has turned into a monster.

What blatant foreign worship and sycophancy!

Once public opinion is stirred up, Zhao Yanzi's side can't be contained.

Even Qi Hao wanted to cover it up.

Qi Hao is now incredibly wealthy; he invested in several marketing companies in his efforts to get Lu Sang.

These marketing companies were all handed over to Janji Ryden to manage.

Several more sums of money were subsequently invested.

He integrated them into a very powerful force.

James Leiden guided public opinion to link Zhao Yanzi with the Mingguang Society, and also explained to netizens what the Mingguang Society is, their style of doing things, and their various methods.

To be honest, most people don't really know anything about this, and Qi Hao was hearing about it for the first time too.

I don't know how these marketing people know so much.

The term quickly became a hot topic online.

Everyone was caught off guard.

Zhao Yanzi, who was involved with this organization, also became an obvious target.

It's extremely popular.

Qi Hao was quite scared; he had always been cautious since his debut.

It's rare for someone to confront another person head-on like this.

Because most celebrities have some background and connections, and if you don't, don't mess with them, or you might accidentally run into a brick wall.

He couldn't even imagine someone as lawless as James Laden.

The Shanghai International Film Festival is on June 20th.

The judging panel has already been announced.

With this surge of popularity, Zhao Yanzi's actions have also spread to the film festival.

This is a move that's practically blatantly offending someone.

Especially for international film festivals, getting involved with such an organization is like a rotten egg meeting a fly.

"This Qi Hao is too ruthless."

"At worst, we just won't cooperate. Why do we have to fight to the death?"

"It was quite unexpected, he's always been quite mild-mannered."

"Could it be that we crossed his line? He finds it disgusting to be compared to someone like Zhao Yanzi, and yet we chose Zhao Yanzi and abandoned him."

"What do you mean by choosing Zhao Yanzi? It was already agreed upon beforehand, first come, first served, do you understand?"

"But Qi Hao was unwilling to tolerate it, so they broke up."

"How dare he?"

"If he were just an ordinary celebrity, he wouldn't dare to do this, but I heard he's worth billions..."

“I heard he has over 10 billion yuan, a bunch of Apple stock, and Apple sends him special customized versions of new products, as well as housewarming gifts.”

"His Moutai shares are also very valuable."

"So what if they have a little money? There are plenty of rich people. Do you see any rich person who dares to go against power?"

"That's true, but Qi Hao's money is in stocks."

“Right, you can’t just go after Tencent, Sina, Moutai, BYD, Apple, etc., just because you want to deal with Qi Hao. Who can handle that?”

"I suddenly realized that Qi Hao is truly impeccable."

"This is called leveraging influence. He is a shareholder of Sina, with a significant stake. Even the president has to curry favor with him if he wants to secure his position. Weibo naturally has to give him face. This is also why Zhao Yanzi's public relations efforts failed miserably. Money can't save you."

"Couldn't he have waited until after our film festival before making a move? He didn't even give us any face."

"That's fucking hateful."

But hatred won't solve anything; we still need to address the problem.

Zhao Yanzi is now in the eye of the storm.

If the film festival ignores the issue, nobody knows what might happen.

The people in the group are discussing this here, but they can't come to any conclusion.

The preparatory team leaders have gone to a meeting.

Everyone is waiting for the leaders to finish their meeting and give them the results.

"The director is here! How is the director?"

"Whatever, just focus on your work. The film festival is about to start, so everyone be on your best."

"That Zhao Yanzi..."

"I just received news that Zhao Yanzi's family member is sick and she has to go take care of them, so she won't be able to attend the film festival."

"Shall we invite Qi Hao?"

"We'll see. It's still under discussion, so it's probably not going to happen."

He was slapped, and then he leaned his face in?
Funny.

The Shanghai International Film Festival is now obsessed with killing Qi Hao.

Changing judges at the last minute was a huge embarrassment.

Even if we can turn hostility into friendship, Qi Hao has to take the initiative to back down first.

But will Qi Hao back down?

"Isn't this going too far?" Qi Hao felt terrified.

James Leiden is a madman.

He actually encouraged Qi Hao to make an official announcement during the Shanghai International Film Festival.

This is more than just refusing to back down.

"You originally planned to make the official announcement around this time, so why did you change the date?"

Janchi Leiden was perfectly justified.

According to the original plan, Lu Yang would first resolve the issue of the cruise ship, then Qi Hao would appear on a TV show to generate buzz, and finally, the couple would officially announce their relationship at an event in June.

In this way, a huge wave of popularity will come, and there will be no problem with the publicity and distribution of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

You know perfectly well what I mean!

Qi Hao glared at him listlessly.

If the announcement is made at the Shanghai International Film Festival, it will be the icing on the cake for the festival, and both parties will benefit.

However, they no longer plan to participate in film festivals.

Announcing their relationship during a film festival is practically a head-to-head competition. The whole internet will be buzzing about Qi Hao and An Feng's announcement.

Who cares about film festivals anymore?

These days, the popularity of film festivals is gradually cooling down because the awards are often of questionable quality.

Killing is heartbreaking.

Not only did they force the film festival to fire Zhao Yanzi, but they also relentlessly pursued her to challenge her on the same stage. Qi Hao suspected that James Ryden had been bribed by their rivals.

Brother, are you trying to kill me?

“I know, but I don’t know what you’re afraid of, boss. You should stand up and see the world.”

Janchi Leiden didn't take it seriously.

"I didn't kneel down. Didn't I refuse to participate in the film? I just didn't want things to get too ugly with the film festival, and I didn't want to worry about whether I would participate in any more events in the future."

Qi Hao sighed.

Now, even the conservatives in the company think the radicals are too conservative.

They were all floating around in a mess.

Little did they know, Qi Hao was not some little Buffett.

He just has a system behind him.

What outsiders perceive as Qi Hao's more than ten years of financial investment planning has actually only taken two or three years.

Because the system was only fully loaded in the last two years.

How could a poor man who had just become rich have the audacity to challenge a film festival backed by the government?

"The higher you stand, the more imposing you should be. Otherwise, in other people's eyes, we'll just be nouveau riche, and nobody will take us seriously."

Janchi Leiden also got serious.

After Qi Hao chose not to attend the film festival, he insisted on taking full action against Zhao Yanzi.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Who is Qi Hao? He's a Golden Rooster Award-winning actor and a Golden Horse Award-winning director...

The film he made grossed 300 million and was a bestseller throughout Asia.

Furthermore, he is the owner of Donghao Venture Capital, a miracle in China's investment circle; the owner of Zhonghao Entertainment, one of the top three private film companies in the entertainment industry; and the owner of Xihao Pictures, which supports the development of the national animation alliance, has made multiple investments, and has also established connections with the government...

To compare you to Zhao Yanzi is an insult to you.

It's also an insult to us underlings.

What's even more outrageous is that after being compared, you actually got outdone.

What a disgrace.

The Shanghai International Film Festival is going too far.

Let alone just a film festival, even if it's Shanghai TV, we're not afraid at all.

The film festival should be reflecting on its practices and engaging in public relations efforts.

They should find a way to quell our anger, instead of playing dead and waiting for this to pass.

Everyone realized that the boss had no idea how capable he was.

They're being way too low-key.

If this continues, anyone can come and kick you while you're down.

“An Yu, I understand what you mean, and I hope you understand what I mean. I just want to say that no matter how successful a businessman is, he cannot go against the authorities. Do you understand?”

Qi Hao was actually quite touched by James Leiden's defense of his reputation.

He didn't see it as anything shameful, but his supporters saw it as a disgrace to their boss, and that the other party had to pay the price.

He now certainly has the power to make the other party pay the price.

To put it more bluntly, even if I poured money into dozens of films and demanded that none of them participate in the Shanghai International Film Festival, it wouldn't be impossible.

There's no need to say it outright; a slight hint will suffice, and no one will be able to find fault with it.

But Qi Hao didn't want to do that.

He was taught from a young age that when poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven.

This world is not the whole world.

It is not about family and country.

He is willing to contribute to a better country and its people, rather than oppose it.

Even if there are many unsatisfactory aspects in this process, the hope is to gradually improve and get better, rather than overturning the table.

The consequences of Mingguang's infiltration will be settled sooner or later.

However, we must wait until the right time.

Your outburst makes things very difficult for others.

Although officials may sometimes seem a bit dim-witted, don't treat them like fools.

That place is a gathering place for the most elite talents.

“If you want to negotiate, then I will give them a hint: let’s continue to participate in the film festival and make an official announcement at the film festival. That way, everyone will be happy.”

Of course, the film festival's loss of face cannot be fully recovered in the short term.

They deserved it.

They overestimated themselves and underestimated Qi Hao's power and methods.

"Alright, Lao Deng, have someone contact them, or ask Lao Tian to go there himself."

Qi Hao patted Janchi Lyden.

I'm glad he listened to what I said.

This guy is incredibly capable, but he's a bit extreme.

"Then are you still going to be a judge?"

James Leiden didn't even notice Qi Hao calling him "Old Deng".

They call on An Yu when they need him, but once they've used him, they just call on Lao Deng.

"Forget it, let whoever wants to be a judge be one. I've never considered the Shanghai International Film Festival to be a film festival. It's just an event for celebrities in the entertainment industry, a publicity platform."

Qi Hao also had some complaints about the other side.

I declined to participate, and I made up all the reasons.

He even tried to talk to me in official jargon.

You wouldn't know how awesome I am if I didn't tell you.

I want to prove myself and show how amazing I am.

Give the system a boost!
