Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 345 Your Wife is in My Hands
The desert scenes are quite demanding, mostly action scenes, and the weather is still a bit hot occasionally. Being wrapped up completely in the costume is incredibly uncomfortable.

But this wasn't a problem for Qi Hao.

He's young.

He is another person who practices martial arts regularly.

On the contrary, Li Lianjie is really old. He gets out of breath after exercising too much and has to use a stunt double for any slightly difficult moves.

However, given his skill level, his shot pass rate is still quite high.

Qi Hao's shot pass rate was even higher than his.

Whether it's a dramatic scene or an action scene, Li Lianjie felt a sense of frustration, as if the younger generation was surpassing the older.

He couldn't help but wonder, if Qi Hao had debuted earlier, at the same time as him, who would have stood out?

Therefore, his feelings towards Qi Hao were complicated.

One aspect is jealousy.

Not all elderly people feel gratified to see young people passing on their skills and traditions.

They looked at the young people, then at themselves.

A feeling of jealousy will inevitably begin to stir deep within one's heart.

Of course, the premise is that this young man must be very successful, with a success that is no less than his.

Otherwise, you'll just be a clown in his eyes.

He's brimming with a sense of superiority; there's no way he could be jealous of you.

On the other hand, it is about utilization.

Li Lianjie set up a charitable foundation, and so far he has only been in contact with Jack Ma's group.

However, people in the entertainment industry are just actors in the eyes of this group, and they don't take him seriously.

Even if he becomes a Singaporean citizen, it won't make a difference.

They simply can't integrate into other people's inner circle.

But Qi Hao is different. Qi Hao is also in the entertainment industry. He may look down on others, but he would never look down on his own background.

If he could cooperate with Qi Hao, he could then use Qi Hao's network of connections to his advantage.

Tencent, Sina, Moutai, BYD...

Therefore, Li Lianjie took great care of Qi Hao on set.

They often chatted and laughed together.

Qi Hao was very respectful to him, constantly referring to him as "Brother Jie," but he made no promises whatsoever regarding the cooperation.

He does all his charity work himself.

At most, they would use the accounts of some public funds; it's impossible for them to cooperate with private funds.

Public funds are rife with shady dealings, let alone private funds—especially those that are closely associated with large corporations.

To paraphrase a line from the movie "Let the Bullets Fly," it would be exactly like this: "The money of the wealthy is returned in full, while the money of the common people is split 30/70."

On October 16, the 30th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films was held at the Jiangyin International Convention and Exhibition Center. Qi Hao left amidst Xu Ke's resentful gaze.

Qi Hao plays two roles, and he has scenes almost every day.

Moreover, Qi Hao is also a very skilled director, and it would be no problem to bring him over as an executive director.

Qi Hao was also willing to help for free.

Moreover, for some reason, Xu Ke felt that Qi Hao understood him very well.

Qi Hao knew what he was thinking.

Often, a single glance is enough to convey something.

With Qi Hao by his side, Xu Ke saved a lot of effort; he practically couldn't live without Qi Hao for even a day.

Even if he only asked for two days off, Xu Ke felt like he was being cut off.

However, he couldn't possibly prevent Qi Hao from leaving.

Given Qi Hao's status and position, it's a big favor that he's chosen to play the role of Yu Huatian.

However, he did not let An Feng leave.

Your wife is in my hands, you'd better come back and get back to work.

Qi Hao walked the red carpet with the cast and crew of "Hello! Mr. Tree".

Upon arriving at the interview area, as expected, An Feng was asked if she was pregnant.

The reason is that An Feng was photographed wearing very loose clothing a couple of days ago.

In the past, when An Feng was secretly photographed, everyone's focus was on her face.

Now everyone is looking at her belly.

"Everyone is overthinking it."

Qi Hao wasn't entirely sure, since protective measures couldn't guarantee 100% protection.

And they did cook more frequently.

Often, I stir-fry it three times a day.

However, such private matters do not require a direct response.

Media inquiries do not expect Qi Hao to give a direct response.

What the news reports say is entirely based on their fabrication; all they need to do is take photos.

Or ideally, we could capture Qi Hao's unusual expression.

Then, various interpretations will naturally follow.

"I heard you're collaborating with Li Lianjie in Xu Ke's new movie. Are you the male lead?"

The media has limited time, so try to ask as many questions as you can.

Xu Ke did a good job of keeping this film secret.

All people know is that it has some connection with "New Dragon Gate Inn" and is very likely to be a part of the subsequent storyline.

But no one knows exactly how it was arranged.

It's possible that Zhou Huai'an will still be the main character, but it's also possible that Zhou Huai'an will cultivate an heir to continue fighting against the Eastern Depot. In that case, Qi Hao could be the main character.

If Li Lianjie were to play a supporting role to Qi Hao, that would be a good news story.

Under normal circumstances, Li Lianjie would not be a concubine.

You're not a Hollywood star. But Qi Hao isn't just any star; he's a major player in the entertainment industry, and it's not impossible for anyone to play a supporting role for him.

"The male lead is definitely Brother Jie."

Qi Hao was speechless. All these media outlets wanted to see was them fighting each other.

There's really nothing between him and Li Lianjie that they have to fight over.

We're not on the same track.

Li Lianjie belongs to the older generation, while he can still be considered a young actor.

"Do you and Zhou Xun have any explicit scenes in the drama?"

The media now knows the general cast, but not the specific roles each actor plays.

"If Director Xu Ke didn't tell everyone, then it's a secret, and I can't say it either."

Qi Hao chuckled.

An Feng also acted in this movie. You want me and Zhou Xun to act out some explicit scenes in front of her?

Which Japanese screenwriter wrote this script?

"Zhou Ruifa came today. I heard that he originally had the opportunity to star in Jiang Wenxin's new movie 'Let the Bullets Fly,' but you rejected it. Is that true?"

The media has dug another hole for Qi Hao.

One pit after another, I don't believe they can't bury you.

"This is definitely a rumor..." Qi Hao denied it without hesitation. He solemnly clarified, "Everything about 'Let the Bullets Fly' was decided by Director Jiang Wen. I don't know whether he intended to invite Zhou Ruifa to participate. I only had a cameo role in the movie and at most participated in the production. Everyone should know that Director Jiang Wen is not someone who can be easily swayed by others."

"but……"

The media was not satisfied with this explanation.

You're kidding me! You're the biggest producer. If you say Zhou Ruifa can't act, then Zhou Ruifa won't get the role.

“I know that people may often hear rumors in the industry, but these rumors are obviously not credible. Whether it was Chow Yun-fat himself who wanted to act or Jiang Wen who wanted to invite him, these are things that everyone would love to do. What reason would there be for not being able to reach an agreement?”

Qi Hao asked a question in return.

"Perhaps it's because Chow Swee-fat is too expensive?"

The media steered the narrative towards the idea that "Qi Hao rejected Zhou Ruifa's offer because he thought Zhou was too expensive."

It could even be said that Qi Hao believes Zhou Ruifa is undeserving of his reputation and is not worth the price.

“Expensive? There’s a reason why it’s expensive. I think Chow Yun-fat is undervalued. He actually asks for very low pay. At Chow Yun-fat’s level and status, money is no longer the main factor in his choice of roles. He must have deeper considerations.”

Qi Hao looked on with admiration.

If Zhou Ruifa happened to be passing by at this moment, he might be moved.

"There are rumors that Zhao Yanzi's nomination for 'Mulan' was withdrawn, mainly at your suggestion, Qi Hao. Is there any truth to this?"

Not satisfied with this, the media decided to bring up another popular figure.

They didn't actually know that Lu Qian was also involved with Qi Hao's side, otherwise that could have been a topic of conversation.

"Zhao Yanzi? I don't know her!"

This time, Qi Hao will not try to cover things up.

However, he did not directly say that Zhao Yanzi had joined the Mingguang Society and colluded with foreign capital.

If you say that, you're likely to get a counterattack.

Because there is simply no evidence for this.

Being with bad people doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad person yourself.

In a modern society governed by the rule of law, you cannot be implicated even if you are friends or lovers with bad people.

Therefore, Qi Hao casually replied that he wasn't familiar with the person.

It showed a distanced attitude without giving anyone cause for criticism.

As for whether it will make people think he is hostile towards Zhao Yanzi.

Who the hell cares?

As James Leiden said, Qi Hao sometimes really needs to realize how awesome he is.

He could have openly expressed his hostility towards Zhao Yanzi.

Because he doesn't need to care about Zhao Yanzi's thoughts at all.

After the interview lasted a while, it was almost time, so Qi Hao went backstage with Han Jie and Tan Nao.

There are already quite a few people inside.

Qi Hao wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that everyone was looking at him strangely.

It seemed to carry a sense of apprehension and awe.

Considering the questions raised by the media today, those concerning An Feng and Zhou Xun can be disregarded; the remaining questions concern Zhou Ruifa and Zhao Yanzi.

Chow Shui-fat is a big-name actor in Hong Kong.

Back then, Zhang Yimou invested 4000 million yuan to invite Zhou Ruifa to star in "Curse of the Golden Flower", but Zhou Ruifa made a request: "Rent me a luxury RV worth 500 million yuan, which must have a private bathroom. I don't like public toilets."

Zhang Yimou had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Weiping was furious and went to confront Zhou Ruifa: "When you're filming in Hong Kong or Hollywood, why don't you let them rent a luxury car? But as soon as you come to the mainland, you start demanding special treatment?"

But in any case, the luxury RV is still there.

Just to go to the toilet.

Jiang Wen had previously expressed interest in collaborating with Zhou Ruifa on his new film... This is a historic moment that so many people have been eagerly anticipating.
However, the film ultimately ended up with Leung Ka-fai starring in it.

Zhou Ruifa did not join the crew at all.

What makes Liang Jiahui comparable to Zhou Ruifa?

It is said that when Leung Ka-fai starred in "The Burning of the Yuanmingyuan" and "The Empress Dowager", he refused to write a letter of repentance and was thus blacklisted by Taiwan.

It is said that Zhou Ruifa helped lift the ban.

But now Leung Ka-fai has taken the role from Chow Shui-fat.

There are also rumors that Tony Leung Ka-fai was able to participate in the film because he received support from Qi Hao, the producer of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Qi Hao disliked Zhou Ruifa and kicked him out of the crew.

Time has passed, and the giant of yesteryear is now being harassed by a junior figure in the martial arts world.

During the era when Chow Yun-fat, Chow Tai Fook, and Jackie Chan dominated the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Qi Hao hadn't even debuted yet.
