Chapter 341 The Hottest Child Star of the Year

"Old Deng, aren't you being a bit too cruel? Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground. You might as well have killed him instead."

Qi Hao wasn't speaking up for Lu Sang.

After all, he was the mastermind behind it all.

He personally instructed James Leiden to get rid of Lu Sang, and to kill him if he wasn't already dead.

Keep going until you stomp the bug to death.

Qi Hao was just a little impressed. If Lu Sang could still maintain his mental state after being released this time, then he really had to admire the guy's shamelessness and mental fortitude.

Having failed repeatedly in PUBG must have left them with a psychological scar.

Let alone playing PUBG, he probably wouldn't even be interested in having sex with women.

He will always feel insecure.

At the slightest sign of trouble, he would immediately pull up his pants, run to the window, and jump out.

According to sources, Lu Sang almost escaped on the day of the raid on prostitution. He opened the window and found that it was actually equipped with railings.

Otherwise, he could do what Hendrik Willem Van Loon did: first jump onto the air conditioner unit, and then little by little, jump from the 18th floor to the ground.

He finally departed gracefully, concealing his achievements and fame.

"I did want to kill him, but alas... I couldn't come up with a plan to escape unscathed."

Janchi Leiden looked a little disappointed.

"Damn, what have you been up to lately?"

This guy is an unstable factor; he actually had the idea of ​​physical PR.

The most effective public relations is to get rid of people through public relations efforts.

It's a bit outrageous.

"They didn't do much, except for Zhao Yanzi and messing around with Aunt Hua. Their shareholders were trying to cash out by driving up the stock price, and I caught them red-handed..."

Janchi Leiden has a great deal of autonomy.

The marketing companies secretly controlled by Qi Hao rarely had nothing to do.

Not only does she serve Qi Hao's business, but she also takes on outside jobs and even does volunteer work for others.

Anyway, idle is idle.

“Routine operation.”

Qi Hao knew the Wang brothers very well.

Other companies go public to grow bigger and stronger, but they are clearly just trying to fleece investors. They have even brought together a group of investors who are good at fleecing investors to do the same.

Buying Hua Yi's stock is either a sign of blindness or the worst luck imaginable.

"So they were summoned for questioning, and they will probably be fined afterward. They'll also get a free advertising package."

Janchi Leiden is very considerate.

This could cause Aunt Hua's stock to plummet for several more consecutive days.

His plan to target Aunt Hua was simple: first, Aunt Hua and Qi Hao were at odds, which was the original sin; second, Aunt Hua and An Feng were at odds, as she was the boss's wife; and third, two tigers cannot share one mountain, and Zhong Hao and Aunt Hua would inevitably clash sooner or later, so why not strike first?

Aunt Hua has certainly smeared Zhong Hao quite a bit.

Recently, there have been many press releases claiming that Qi Hao and An Feng are deliberately creating hype for the movie, engaging in shameless hype. These are basically all bought by Hua Yi's group.

Aunt Hua must have bought the most.

Some deals even went to the marketing company that James Leiden secretly controlled.

"As for Aunt Hua, focus your investigation on tax matters. However, this involves the interests of many people, so you'd better not expose us, lest someone commit suicide."

Qi Hao then offered James Leiden another idea.

He is an actor and knows a lot about the industry.

Some people might think that everyone does it this way.

Industry unspoken rules.

But just because everyone does it this way doesn't mean it's right. Walking in the dark will eventually lead to trouble.

He had kindly reminded Fan Xuexue last time.

However, whether Fan Xuexue will listen to this is another matter.

Those women don't seem like good people either.

"Okay, I'll have someone investigate secretly, and then expose it when the time is right."

Janchi Leiden understood immediately.

"Many people suspect us after this attack on Zhao Yanzi. We need to be careful not to be linked to her by others."

Qi Hao has always been very careful.

If his strength weren't so different from before, he probably wouldn't have bothered with other people's business.

If you are successful, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone.

He's not poor anymore.

"You can trust me to handle things, and we often do work for others, so we're just spreading misinformation everywhere."

Janchi Leiden is a dark character.

He had several layers of protection, and was even connected to Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan belongs to the third generation; most things are not a problem for him.

"Oh, by the way, could you design some stories for 'Kuiba' to use during the promotion and distribution process?"

Qi Hao didn't have high hopes for the box office performance of "Kuiba," but after all, it was Xihao Pictures' first animated film, and if it didn't make any money, it would be a big blow to everyone.

“Sure, that’s my specialty.” James Leiden readily agreed, not to prove how great he was, but to let his boss know that he could do good things too, in addition to bad things.

Qi Hao also discussed some issues related to film promotion with James Layden.

"Boss, for a movie to achieve 800 million in box office revenue under these market conditions, your official announcement with your wife is absolutely a one-of-a-kind event in the history of film promotion."

Everyone says he's a genius in publicity and public relations.

But Janchi Leyden was not arrogant in front of his boss.

After all, even if he worked himself to death, even if he abandoned the law and morality, he still couldn't push the box office of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" to 800 million, but the boss did it.

It's just a romantic relationship.

James Leiden realized with a pang of sadness that some things in this world are truly absurd and unreasonable.

"That's an exception. In the end, it still comes down to strength. Look at the box office of 'The Man from Nowhere'. I doubt it will even reach 300 million."

"The Man from Nowhere" had already surpassed 100 million yuan before the National Day holiday, and after the National Day box office baptism, it successfully reached 220 million yuan.

However, now that the National Day holiday is over, the box office growth rate has immediately dropped.

Piracy is rampant both online and offline.

There's no need to postpone this movie at all.

"Boss, you're really getting too cocky. A movie that cost 20 to 30 million to make has grossed 300 million, and you actually think the box office is bad."

Even James Leiden was furious.

As long as it's not compared to "You Are the Apple of My Eye," "The Man from Nowhere" is the most outstanding commercial film.

First, the plot is quite good for an action movie.

While it shares some similarities with films like Taken, Léon: The Professional, and Man on Fire, it has its own unique characteristics and style.

If anyone were to compile a list of films of this genre in the future, "The Man from Nowhere" would definitely be included.

Secondly, the action sequences are very entertaining.

Whether an action movie is made with care or not is obvious to everyone.

After all, there are so many classic Hong Kong action films that have set a high bar.

Everyone's appetites have become too picky.

Two movies with great action scenes this year are "Reign of Assassins" and "The Man from Nowhere".

On the contrary, the action scenes in Xu Ke's "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" were disappointing.

Everyone felt it didn't meet Tsui Hark's usual standards.

Qi Hao invited Li Zhongzhi, Feng Bufan, and Lin Feng, and put a lot of effort into the action design.

Although he is a billionaire, he doesn't cut corners when performing action scenes, showing a style that rivals top action stars.

Then, the casting for the film was excellent.

The actors chosen from Hong Kong, Ren Dahua and An Zhijie, are both outstanding, while Qi Hao, Song Jia, and Zhao Jinmai from the mainland are also very suitable for their roles.

As for the benefits of film production, Ren Dahua and Qi Hao naturally won't benefit much; they've reached their career ceiling and it's difficult for them to break through easily.

The ones who truly benefited were An Zhijie, Song Jia, and Zhao Jinmai.

An Zhijie's participation in mainland Chinese films and the positive response made it easier for him to receive projects in mainland China.

If a star rating is needed, he's probably the first person that comes to mind.

After all, Li Lianjie and Fang Long are exorbitantly priced and can no longer compete, and Zhen Zidan is also ridiculously expensive.

Song Jia's collaboration with Qi Hao and the expansion of her acting range will be very beneficial to her future development.

The biggest benefit was reaped by Zhao Jinmai.

"The Man from Nowhere" is both her debut film and her representative work.

Her incredibly soulful performance in the film made her instantly memorable to millions of viewers, turning her into a very popular child star.

She is simply the hottest child star of the year.

She is on par with Zhang Zifeng, who recently became famous for "Aftershock".

Although "The Man from Nowhere" did not perform as well at the box office as "Aftershock," Zhao Jinmai had far more screen time in "The Man from Nowhere" than Zhang Zifeng did in "Aftershock."

Zhang Zifeng has very few scenes; she plays the younger version of the second female lead.

Zhao Jinmai, on the other hand, is undoubtedly the female lead.

Of course, this may not necessarily be a good thing for Zhao Jinmai.

With such a high starting point, it will likely take a lot of effort to surpass oneself and break the established impression one has of oneself in the eyes of the audience.

It would be awkward if someone like Yang Mi had her acting peak fixed on "King of Beggars".

Okay, just kidding.

For child stars, they also have to pray that they don't grow up to be ugly.

But there's no way to prevent this.

Macaulay Culkin, the star of "Home Alone," shocked the world, showing absolutely no resemblance to his angelic childhood self.

And then there's Jin Ming. While she can't be called ugly now that she's grown up, she's nowhere near as pretty as she was as a child.

As Shirley Temple grew up, she was completely different from her childhood self.

Risako Sugaya was already disabled before she even grew up.

For child stars like Zhao Jinmai who haven't yet established their image, all they can do is offer their prayers and reassurances.

If they really grow up to be less attractive, even if they want to pursue acting skills, the audience will still view them with the prejudices of the past.
