Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 344 Taking Others' Paths

"Does it look good?"

An Feng changed into a costume, looking exceptionally dashing.

"It looks a bit strange."

Qi Hao suppressed his excitement and carefully examined his wife's appearance.

Rumor has it that An Feng looks good even in a burlap sack.

Qi Hao had never seen her wearing a burlap sack, nor could he bear to let her go out wearing one.

But Anfeng's beauty today is indeed a bit "arrogant".

The movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has a rather dark style in terms of costumes. Li Lianjie wears black clothes, Zhou Xun wears dark blue clothes, and the rest are similar.

Wandering the world, that's what it's like.

If you're dressed in fancy clothes, you'll probably have to spend the whole night doing laundry.

Qi Hao is an exception.

Because he was Yu Huatian of the Western Depot, he wore fine clothes, partly because of his status and partly because someone washed his clothes.

An Feng's original clothes were also drab and gray.

With her hairstyle and weapons, she was no different from a man.

After looking at the renderings, Xu Ke finally decided to dress her in red.

Clad in red and wielding a long spear, he looked incredibly dashing!
Xu Laoguai is indeed a talented person.

His films not only showcase his fantastical imagination, but also his precise positioning and guidance of the actors.

Actresses always manage to present their most beautiful selves in Xu Ke's films.

Some people praised Xu Ke, saying he was the director in China who was best at filming women.

Such praise is not an exaggeration. Looking at the actresses in Tsui Hark's movies, Wang Zuxian, who played Nie Xiaoqian, Zhang Manyu, who played the Green Snake, and Lin Qingxia, who played Dongfang Bubai, are all breathtakingly beautiful.

These are all classic female characters in film history.

Tsui Hark has his own unique insights into female beauty, he is very meticulous in casting, and he is also very particular about styling.

We must find that feeling in his heart.

For this reason alone, Qi Hao should learn a lot from Xu Ke.

Anyway, he didn't have the ability to give An Feng such a good-looking look.

Okay, except for the poses in bed.

An Feng, dressed in red, brandished a long spear, and not only Qi Hao but everyone else on set started to applaud.

Whether someone has real skills or not can be roughly determined by observing their swordplay.

An Feng's training was not in vain.

"Sisi, do you want a girlfriend? I'm fine with a boyfriend too."

Zhou Xun started touching An Feng inappropriately.

"Yes, yes, we already have it."

Where are you going to touch? Believe me or not, I'll poke you to death.

"Would you mind choosing another one?"

Zhou Xun acted like a pervert, and in fact, she did have the potential to be one.

After all, she was able to say in front of reporters that Li Guanpeng fulfilled all her fantasies about men.

No decent person would fantasize all the time.

"Don't change!"

An Feng hid behind Qi Hao. She wasn't actually afraid of Zhou Xun, but she wasn't as shameless as Zhou Xun.

If you let her touch higher, she'll start groping your breasts.

"Would you mind having one more?"

Zhou Xun squeezed between An Feng and Qi Hao. She didn't want to break them up; she just wanted to join them.

Unfortunately, Qi Hao and An Feng managed to dodge quickly.

Qi Hao even put his arm around An Feng's waist, spun An Feng around, and made An Feng kick Zhou Xun with his feet.

I must say, they had a lot of fun.

Others can only be envious; those who aren't close enough to join in shouldn't.

Gao Yuanyuan was quite familiar with them, but she wasn't that outgoing.

Gao Yuanyuan was brought in to play a runaway palace maid.

She played Zhou Zhiruo before, and the response was quite good. Now, if she's asked to play this kind of pitiful yet ruthless character, she'll have no problem handling it.

Gao Yuanyuan was not introduced to the group by Qi Hao.

Xu Ke made the choice himself.

He probably thought that Gao Yuanyuan was Qi Hao's rumored girlfriend, and that sparks might easily fly between them after they joined the crew.

It's also convenient for promotion.

Moreover, Gao Yuanyuan had just recently collaborated with Li Lianjie on "Ocean Heaven".

That was an art film that Li Lianjie used to transform his image.

The film was decent, but the box office performance was mediocre, and it didn't make much of a splash in the market.

Li Lianjie's acting skills have always been controversial.

Some people praised him, while others said he only knew how to fight.

Qi Hao and Li Lianjie worked together on "The Warlords" and Qi Hao thinks that Li Lianjie is actually a good actor.

He is one of the best action actors.

Unfortunately, he's too old to fight anymore, and it's quite difficult for him to transition into an art-house actor.

The audience had a preconceived notion about him; they thought he could kill everyone the moment he appeared on screen.

It's not something you can just throw away whenever you want.

Moreover, his mind has been elsewhere in recent years, no longer on acting.

They're always involved in charity work, but they make a mess of it, and they're always trying to play along with big capital.

After joking around with Zhou Xun and An Feng for a while, Qi Hao was pulled over to take his costume photos.

Why do I always feel that I can't see any respect for Li Lianjie in Qi Hao's eyes?

Passerby A from the photography crew was whispering to passerby B.

"Are you stupid? That's Qi Hao!"

Passerby B is a stock trader, and in his eyes, Qi Hao is 99 times more awesome than Li Lianjie.

Even if Li Lianjie earns 100 million yuan from making one movie, Qi Hao's wealth is enough for him to make movies for a hundred years.

He can't compete with Li Lianjie in terms of money or looks, and most importantly, Li Lianjie is already old and unrecognizable, while Qi Hao still has a bright future.

What does Li Lianjie have to earn Qi Hao's respect?

In fact, Li Lianjie did not put on airs in front of Qi Hao.

When Qi Hao arrived, he was sitting and talking to Xu Ke. Upon seeing Qi Hao, he stood up along with Xu Ke.

"Hello, Brother Jie."

"Qi Hao, you've become even more handsome. I never thought we'd have the chance to work together again."

"Hey, we're all in the same circle, it's normal to cooperate. Brother Jie, you have to go easy on me, you beat me so badly last time."

Qi Hao exchanged a few polite words with him, then stopped smiling and began posing for photos under the direction of the photography director.

Qi Hao not only had to film the look of Yu Huatian, but also the look of Feng Lidao.

He played both roles, essentially playing two characters. Feng Lidao's appearance was simple and the character was relatively thin, but Yu Huatian was an extremely complex character.

The existence of Feng Lidao serves the plot, while also highlighting the imposing and domineering presence of Yu Huatian, the supervisor of the Western Depot.

I had already started thinking about the character when I was taking the costume fitting photos.

Qi Hao had already read the script and the character biography beforehand, and had gained a considerable understanding of the character Yu Huatian.

The villain he played was arrogant and domineering, looking down on all living beings like a god.

Unlike many villains who start out kind but later turn evil, or who do bad things covertly, his villains are of impeccable character and never try to hide anything; they are evil in a righteous and open way from beginning to end.

And he's such a handsome villain.

Xu Ke stated it directly.

Qi Hao, aren't you handsome? This time, you'll be incredibly handsome.

Show off how handsome you are.

Don't hold back just because you're playing a villain.

Who says villains can't be handsome?

Don't worry that the male lead will be afraid that you'll steal his thunder.

Given Li Lianjie's age and appearance, no matter how low-key you are, you can easily outshine him.

"A sharper gaze, too peaceful."

Xu Ke walked over to the photographer and started pointing fingers at Qi Hao's performance.

"You want to put on a little show, huh?"

Qi Hao is also a director, so he understands what Xu Ke means.

Based on his understanding of the role, he felt that the character should be a little more reserved.

Those in positions of power, especially eunuchs, are not arrogant or domineering.

The main theme is indifference towards the masses.

He was all about composure, indifference, and ruthlessness, as if all living beings were mere ants, not worthy of his attention.

At most, it will just make those who offend him be more careful in their next life.

"Let's try taking a small amount."

"so?"

"Collect a little more, that's about enough."

"Isn't this exactly what I looked like just now?"

I hate clients like this the most. After all that back and forth, they still ended up choosing the first version.

"There's still a bit of a gap..."

Xu Ke looked embarrassed.

Filming is a process of constant adjustment, merging the actor and the character together.

If the overlap is good, then the performance is good.

If the acting is awkward and unnatural, the final product of the movie won't be very good either.

Therefore, directors often know whether an actor's performance is good or bad while filming.

It's not that they don't want to train them.

It's just that some actors are really impossible to train.

After all the coaching and adjustments, the actors were still fine, but the director completely broke down.

"Shouldn't eunuchs be effeminate?"

Zhou Xun had expected to see a disheveled Qi Hao.

She really wanted to see the effeminate Qi Hao.

Is this the result?

He's still so handsome, so incredibly handsome it makes my mouth water.

I really envy An Feng.

"Read more books, brother. The eunuch I'm playing is no ordinary eunuch."

Qi Hao snorted.

"A chirping sound?"

Zhou Xun's eyes were clearly set on something vulgar.

In fact, even if there were no eunuchs, they wouldn't cut off the actors; there's really no need to be so dedicated.

"As if you have it."

Qi Hao really didn't want to talk to her anymore; he'd rather end it sooner and go back to research information about the mobile phone industry.

After the costume fitting photos were taken, Qi Hao went to wait in An Feng's nanny van next to him, still wearing his costume.

Qi Hao doesn't have a nanny van, but An Feng does.

This is equivalent to him having it.

"Old Tian, ​​what's the current status of Xiaomi's financing?"

Qi Hao first asked Xiaomi.

"The price has gone up!"

Old Tian replied listlessly.

"Didn't they say it was two hundred million US dollars before? Now the price has gone up again?"

Qi Hao knew that business was a complex thing, but he was still surprised by how elaborate it was done.

"Now Mr. Lei wants $2.2 million. He's raising fish, waiting to see the catch before baiting. We don't know if the price will go up again."

Old Tian has worked with Qi Hao for many years, and his work ability is beyond question.

However, even the best abilities have their limitations.

He can't possibly know everything.

Therefore, Donghao Venture Capital also has a professional team assisting him in his decision-making.

Some members of the team have already suggested that the company give up.

Lei Jun is a prominent figure in the internet industry. He is not short of money, unlike some entrepreneurs who are easily swayed by a few tens of millions of RMB. Lei Jun's ambitions are too great; a valuation of several hundred million or even billions of RMB is unlikely to satisfy him.

As for sincerity and loyalty, if anyone in the internet industry has those qualities, they'll be replaced.

What ordinary people see is what they want ordinary people to see.

Just like in the entertainment industry, it's all about creating a persona.

“Tell him that I value him at $2.5 million, give him $8000 million, and ask for 30%. If that's acceptable, we'll sign; if not, then forget it.”

Qi Hao thought about it, because of his foresight.

He clearly knew Lei Jun's bottom line.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Qi Hao decided to do the opposite.

Let's see if we can overwhelm him with money.

Of course, this could also further fuel his ambition.

However, ambition is something that, no matter how much you try to suppress it, will always continue to grow as long as there is enough capital interested in it.

Unlike the business information provided to Qi Hao by the system, Lei Jun had more potential partners due to the involvement of Donghao Venture Capital.

“Alright, I’ll arrange a meeting with him myself.”

Old Tian had no objections; he highly respected Qi Hao's opinions regarding Donghao Venture Capital's business.

After all, Qi Hao is nicknamed "Little Buffett".

It is said that Buffett inquired about Qi Hao's situation during his visit to China.

"Also, let me give him a hint: we are very optimistic about the mobile phone business. If he doesn't give us a chance, we'll make our own phones. As for how, I'll give you a brief overview."

Qi Hao and Lao Tian discussed some business philosophies.

That's right, it was all provided by the system. He extracted some of Xiaomi's early business philosophies, repackaged them slightly, and then told Lao Tian about them.

This is called "walking someone else's path and leaving them with no path to walk."

At that time, Lei Jun will likely feel that he has met a kindred spirit, but he will most likely feel that he has met a major threat.

Damn it, he thinks the same thing I do.

And it's even better than I expected.

His options for response are actually very limited.

Because Qi Hao has more money than him, he owns shares in Apple and BYD, as well as shares in Tencent and Sina.

Apple makes phones, while BYD has contract manufacturers.

Tencent and Sina are both internet giants.

What he can do, Qi Hao can do too, and he can do it better.

I heard that there are three generations in Qi Hao's company.

"What you're saying sounds pretty plausible..."

Old Tian was impressed by Qi Hao.

Damn, I never realized Qi Hao was such a marketing whiz and an expert on the internet.

They don't seem to know nothing about mobile phones.

No wonder he wanted to invest in a rising star in the mobile phone industry like Xiaomi.

"These are all superficial. If we really want to make mobile phones, firstly we need suitable management personnel or even a team, secondly we need enough funds for research and development, otherwise we can only become a hardware assembly plant. Finally, it's best to have government connections, because there are too many things involved."

Qi Hao remained clear-headed throughout.

He didn't get arrogant because he was a "hanger" (someone who had previously achieved great success), and he won't look down on the entire industry just because he knows some advanced knowledge.

Stop talking nonsense. Even a shrewd person like Lei Jun went through all sorts of hardships and obstacles before finally achieving success.

Even if Qi Hao knew some information in advance and could avoid some pitfalls, he might still encounter new ones, and there might even be some pitfalls that Xiaomi hadn't encountered.

Xiaomi is manageable, but if it encounters the same problems Huawei has faced, Qi Hao has absolutely no confidence in it.

We can only turn to the government for help.

If the government doesn't save him, he'll have no choice but to put away his weapons, retire to Tianjin, and learn to perform crosstalk.

Moreover, he doesn't expect to make a living from the mobile phone business.

If things really don't work out, they don't have the same resilience as Lei Jun and Ren Zhengfei.

However, if there is a suitable team...

Investing some money to try and create a brand is not a bad idea.

Anyway, we can get financing.

What decent person would use their own money to start a business?

If we can build up the brand in the future, then we won't have wasted the business information that the system rewarded us with.

This business information is extremely valuable.

It is far greater than Xiaomi, not to mention that Qi Hao only invested money in the company and took a small share.

If Qi Hao could find Ren Zhengfei and have a detailed discussion with him about the development of the mobile phone industry over the next twenty years, it would bring about tremendous changes for Huawei and the entire mobile phone industry.

However, it's clear that Qi Hao wouldn't do that.

He wasn't that great.

Respecting the fate of others, respecting the fate of all living beings, and doing good deeds within one's capacity—this is Qi Hao's pursuit and philosophy.

It must be done within one's capabilities, ensuring that one's own safety and interests are not harmed.

He won't tell anyone that he can predict the future of the mobile phone industry.

Including his parents, as well as An Feng, Lao Tian...

After giving instructions to Lao Tian, ​​Qi Hao took out paper and pen and began writing the script.

When An Feng returned to the van, she saw Qi Hao writing furiously.

"What are you writing? The director sent some snacks and drinks, I got some for you."

On the first day of filming, the director treated everyone to food and drinks, buying a lot of snacks and beverages.

Don't think the director is being generous; this is actually the production crew's money.

Moreover, since they bought snacks like this on the first day, they probably won't have any more group meals.

Directors and actors in Hong Kong are very stingy.

"Feed me, I'm writing a script."

This script was written for the two of them, and Qi Hao decided to treat himself.

Feeding each other is a common activity for couples.

Sometimes, it can become the trigger for cooking.

"Hawthorn sticks~ I heard they're good for male enhancement!"

An Feng unwrapped the packaging and put one into Qi Hao's mouth.

"What utter nonsense!"

Qi Hao was caught between a rock and a hard place; he had never heard of such a thing before.

Besides, he doesn't need it.

He already practiced martial arts and was good at fitness, and the system also rewarded him with a lot of physical strength.

The dog system even added durability to it.

“What Zhou Xun said…”

An Feng felt a little guilty, so she said that Zhou Xun was talking nonsense, but seeing Zhou Xun's confident look, she began to believe her.

After all, many things in traditional Chinese medicine seem outlandish, but they actually have some truth to them.

I never imagined it was a prank on her.

"If that thing were so easy to get hard, why would people go through all that trouble..." Qi Hao was a little confused: "Why are we talking about this kind of topic?"

"Let's just chat casually. What kind of script did you write?"

An Feng leaned on Qi Hao's shoulder and looked directly at him without any attempt to hide it.

Anyway, Qi Hao doesn't keep a diary.

Who the hell keeps a diary?

These are Qi Hao's original words.

"A TV drama script, about a female celebrity and an alien..."

Qi Hao did not shy away from talking about An Feng.

He'll eventually reveal that he can write screenplays; "Lost in Thailand 2" is a screenplay he "wrote".

No one knew he cheated except the system.

"That's really heavy!"

When An Feng heard about aliens, the first thing that came to mind was Steven Spielberg's "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," which made him really not interested.

Could they possibly cast this actress in the role?

I really can't do it.

"Although he's an alien, he looks just like a human. I'll play the role!"

Qi Hao believes that whether it's a human or an alien, appearance is the most important factor.

Some women can be anything, let alone aliens.

I don't know what they're after.

"You wouldn't happen to be an alien, would you? You audacious monster, quickly reveal your true form! Wait, why are you taking off your clothes?!"

An Feng was startled by Qi Hao's actions.

"Reveal your true form..."

Qi Hao was very obedient and immediately planned to reveal his true form.

"I made you show your true form, not take off your clothes. You... This is a film set. If the car moves around, people will spread the word."

An Feng had no intention of following in the footsteps of Liu Tao and Hu Jun.

Even if she and Qi Hao were engaged, it wouldn't work; no, even if they were married, it wouldn't work.

Moreover, the nanny van only had its curtains drawn, so there might be gaps that allow a glimpse into the interior.

"Uh, I just wanted to change my clothes. What are you thinking? I'm going to wear Feng Lidao's clothes for filming later."

Qi Hao feigned innocence.

"Ahem, I didn't say anything. I just told you to be careful when you're changing clothes."

An Feng dared not look at Qi Hao's face.

"You're such a pervert!"

Qi Hao pretended to be meeting An Feng for the first time, and did his best to mock her. He just wanted to tease his fiancée whenever he had the chance, and he liked to see her embarrassed and annoyed.

It is full of energy and firepower.

Like a flower slowly blooming.

"I'll strangle you to death!"

An Feng was so embarrassed and angry that she no longer cared about pretending to be a lady.

She was a bit of a free spirit, not the typical obedient girl.

When she goes crazy, she can overturn her fans' perceptions.

"No, no, what if the car moves after we get off? They'll misunderstand."

Qi Hao laughed heartily.

"You damned eunuch!"

As the saying goes, you shouldn't insult someone by revealing their weaknesses; An Feng has hit Qi Hao where it hurts.

“If I were a eunuch, then you would be a palace maid, and we could eat together.”

Looking at An Feng dressed in red today, Qi Hao was also tempted. He never expected An Feng to have this side to her.

Turning her over is like getting a new wife.

"Pah, who wants to find a eunuch?"

In today's film and television industry, it seems that romance elements are added to everything. If a film were to feature an eunuch as the protagonist, the eunuch might even have to fall in love.

That can probably only be love on a spiritual level.

"Remember to come to my room tonight to discuss the script."

Qi Hao decided to prove with his actions that he was not a eunuch.

Because there were many costume photos to be taken, the shoot wasn't finished by noon. The main scenes in the afternoon were for Li Lianjie, while Qi Hao and An Feng only acted in a few shots before the shoot ended.

Since it wasn't far from the capital, we stayed at a hotel in the suburbs of Beijing that night.

The capital city has many good hotels, and the film crew is very wealthy, so they have to stay in five-star hotels.

"Everything has been checked, it's very safe."

Tang Chuan is no longer a driver; he is now responsible for Qi Hao's security.

He has about ten people under his command.

To ensure they had enough energy, these people usually worked in shifts, rotating to serve Qi Hao.

They would check the safety of the room before Qi Hao checked into the hotel.

Of course, five-star hotels are actually quite safe.

Qi Hao and An Feng's rooms are next to each other.

They are not married yet, so it's not appropriate for them to live together openly.

Her neck was smooth and white, and her light dress was a pale pink.

It's a pity that I didn't have that red dress.

The film crew needs the equipment for shooting; how could they let you take it and play with it as you please?
