Chapter 346 Am I Getting a Little Too Affected? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Qi Hao was able to do this because he had money and was able to make money.

Having money isn't enough; you also need to be able to spend it.

Qi Hao has investments in Donghao Venture Capital, Feiyang Media, Zhonghao Entertainment, Xihao Pictures, and more...

The company's business covers almost the entire entertainment industry chain.

The key is to earn back the money you spend; making money work for you is the only way to succeed. Otherwise, you'll just be a sucker.

Qi Hao has had a very successful year in film.

"You Are the Apple of My Eye," "Lost in Thailand," "First Love," and "The Man from Nowhere" all made it into the top ten of the yearly charts.

There's another film, "Let the Bullets Fly," starring Jiang Wen, which might flop at the box office, but with the other four films supporting it, the money lost by "Let the Bullets Fly" is negligible.

Even if Zhou Ruifa were to remove Qi Hao from the role, what would Zhou Ruifa do?

Revenge?

What will he use to retaliate against Qi Hao?

All he can do is reflect on himself.

Qi Hao couldn't possibly be wrong; the one who's wrong must be himself.

What did I do wrong? When did I offend Qi Hao?

When Zhou Rui arrived at the scene, he saw a lot of people surrounding Qi Hao. He hesitated for a moment and did not go over.

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

Making him voluntarily approach a junior is worse than killing him.

He's no longer at an age where he's driven by ambition; now, all he wants is to earn more money.

Although he has considerable wealth, who would complain about having too much money?

Of course, the official explanation is that so many people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry need to make a living, and he has to work; if he doesn't work, no one else can.

Wang Jing was a master of this.

If you drag the entire industry into it as your shield, no one will criticize you for making bad movies anymore.

In fact, no one is a saint.

The scene was in chaos.

People used to line up to see Qi Hao, but now there's no way to line up anymore.

Time is limited, so everyone wants to make a quick buck.

Even if they can't get a role from Qi Hao, they should at least leave a friendly impression.

Brother, we're on the same side.

Don't erase my character, and don't blacklist me.

Qi Hao even erased Zhou Ruifa's role and banned Zhao Yanzi, not to mention others.

Qi Hao was also helpless about this.

We can only treat everyone with politeness.

To avoid solidifying the false impression that he is now the big boss of the entertainment industry.

He was finally freed up just as the awards ceremony was about to begin and everyone had taken their seats.

"You looked really impressive today!"

Huang Jianxin sat next to Qi Hao; their positions weren't exactly in the center.

However, considering who is sitting in this row, it is definitely the center of attention. The only actor who can sit in this row with Qi Hao is Li Xuejian.

He is the next chairman of the Film Association.

Even Zhou Ruifa and Feng Xiaogang had to sit on the sidelines.

"What are you saying? Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Qi Hao looked completely innocent.

“I used to think I knew it very well, but now I’m not so sure.”

Huang Jianxin said in a low voice.

She looks harmless and even a little cute; who would have thought she could be so powerful and influential?

"I didn't tamper with Chow Yun-fat's role at all. Brother Jiang Wen couldn't get that much investment, so he had no choice but to give up Chow Yun-fat. What does that have to do with me!"

Qi Hao presented the facts and reasoned with him.

“You’re the investor. If you don’t provide the budget to hire Zhou Ruifa, he naturally won’t be able to perform.”

Huang Jianxin genuinely believed that Zhou Ruifa was kicked out by Qi Hao.

The investors had already been decided at that time.

Qi Hao's company, Feiyang Media, is the main investor.

The disagreement lay in whether to invest more or less. If Qi Hao truly felt Zhou Ruifa was worth the money, he would have increased the film's budget accordingly.

"This lead pitching wasn't something I did willingly; I thought the Movie King would be the lead pitcher."

Qi Hao shouldn't take the blame for this.

Everyone was pessimistic about Jiang Wen's film "Let the Bullets Fly," and basically supported him with the expectation that it would lose money.

Qi Hao's investment was only made because the coal mine owner insisted on it.

In that case, we shouldn't have too high expectations of him.

"Actually, I don't like him either. I think you did the right thing. People from Hong Kong shouldn't be spoiled."

Clearly, Huang Jianxin, who is currently preparing for his new film, is unhappy with that group of people in Hong Kong.

The production crew was rife with internal conflicts, and neither side was giving them any peace of mind.

However, for films with this special subject matter, it is necessary to maintain unity and to include a certain proportion of Hong Kong actors in the production.

"I really didn't!"

Qi Hao denied it.

We can admit to Zhao Yanzi's case, but we absolutely cannot admit to Zhou Ruifa's.

Otherwise, you'd offend too many people. "I have a new movie, do you want to invest some? It's guaranteed to make a profit."

Huang Jianxin did not argue with Qi Hao.

He pointed this out mainly to show that he wasn't confused, not to expose Qi Hao.

Starting to discuss cooperation now is naturally a gesture of goodwill.

Who would have thought that the nobody who used to drink with me would secretly transform into a financial tycoon and become a big shot overlooking the entertainment industry?

Of course, the entertainment industry has its advantages; it's an industry that can reach the highest levels of government.

Take, for example, Huang Jianxin's current project, "The Founding of a Republic".

Anyway, those who know, know.

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

Qi Hao's heart skipped a beat; this gift was a bit too much.

Huang Jianxin's two projects were even more legitimate than Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly." The first film was produced by China Film Group and distributed by Berna Universe. After its great success, the second film attracted all sorts of people who wanted to get involved.

Qi Hao has a weak foundation, so it would be too much of a struggle for him to join.

He didn't want to curry favor with Huang Jianxin and China Film Group, nor did he want to give up too many benefits, so he had no plans in that regard.

Unexpectedly, Huang Jianxin took the initiative to invite him.

“You never seemed shy when we drank together before.”

Huang Jianxin smiled kindly at Qi Hao.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Qi Hao returned his smile with an equally bright one, thus acknowledging the favor.

When you're in a social circle, you can't be afraid of owing favors.

If you borrow and return, you become one of us.

The awards ceremony began soon after.

Qi Hao sat among the bigwigs, but what he was thinking about was the low-level pleasure of "winning the Best Actor award."

He's probably the most down-to-earth bigwig ever.

Other nominees this year include Chen Kun, who played Wang Sheng in the film "Painted Skin"; Zhang Guoli, who played Bald Man in the film "The Founding of a Republic"; Zhen Zidan, who played Ip Man in the film "Ip Man"; and Hou Yong, who played Tang Xinsheng in the film "The Great Earthquake".

Zhen Zidan was eliminated first, as his acting skills were unremarkable.

Although Zhang Guoli's acting skills are top-notch, he has too little screen time in this movie and has no chance of winning.

Qi Hao's main competitors are Chen Kun and Hou Yong.

Chen Kun and Hou Yong, the latter's acting skills far surpass the former's, but Qi Hao's biggest rival is not the latter but the former.

Because this is the Hundred Flowers Award.

Besides acting skills, audience appeal is even more important.

Although audience votes are not the only factor considered, they are a major one.

If Qi Hao or even Chen Kun loses to Hou Yong, people will suspect that the match was rigged.

The Golden Rooster Awards have become less and less prestigious in recent years, but they are still much better than the Hundred Flowers Awards. It is unrealistic to expect the judges to be fair and impartial, and it is also unrealistic to expect the audience to vote for the awards.

Soon it was time for the Best Actress award.

Zhou Xun won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress without any suspense, defeating several competitors for her role in "Painted Skin".

Then came the Best Actor award selection.

Another lead actor in "Painted Skin" is Chen Kun.

This film, starring Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Zhao Yanzi, features a young leading man and two leading actresses, along with Zhen Zidan and Sun Li, and grossed 2.5 million yuan at the box office in 2008.

It's definitely going to be a hit movie.

Therefore, there is a strong demand for Chen Kun to win the Best Actor award.

Many audience members shouted Chen Kun's name.

Of course, more people called for Qi Hao.

After all, Chen Kun and Qi Hao were both leading men in the past.

Chen Kun is still a young actor, but Qi Hao has already successfully ascended from the level of a young actor.

Whether in terms of popularity or acting skills, Qi Hao far surpasses Chen Kun.

On the contrary, Chen Kun was restless.

Please, this is a big shot who dared to mess with even Zhou Ruifa and Zhao Yanzi.

He and Zhao Yanzi were classmates.

Many big stars emerged from their class, among whom Zhao Yanzi was the most outstanding. She became a legend with "Bad Pig Princess" and later rose to become a top actress, leaving all the other young actors and actresses behind.

Before her conflict with Qi Hao, Zhao Yanzi raised the banner of a comeback.

With one film, "Painted Skin," two films, "Red Cliff," and one film, "Mulan," she is determined to redeem herself after her career declined in recent years.

As a result... he was slapped to death.

The person who slapped him is said to be Qi Hao, a rising star in the entertainment industry.

Ma De is now vying with me, Qi Hao, for the Best Actor award.

Am I getting a little too cocky?

Even the movie "Let the Bullets Fly," in which he previously starred, was invested in by someone else.

The role was one that no one else wanted.

The role in "Painted Skin" was also rejected by others; Xu Ke's favorite was still Qi Hao.

Chen Kun felt he had narrowed his options.

He began to hope that the Best Actor award wouldn't go to him.

Can't I just say I don't want it anymore?

Retreat, retreat, retreat~
