Chapter 354 Qi Hao Goes Berserk (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Qi Hao and An Feng made a movie about heartbreak!

A simple statement of fact.

This is what's trending!
There are too many things that can trigger people's associations.

Why do they make movies like this? Is it a sign of distorted humanity or a loss of love?

Do they have many worries about their relationship?

There were far more people who cared about the mental state of these two people than Shi Feng and his team had attracted through their vigorous promotion.

"Qi Hao, will your movie 'Love is Not Blind' be delayed again?"

Many people ask this kind of question, but Qi Hao found it utterly absurd that it came from Jiang Wen.

"Brother, why are you asking this? The movie hasn't even been released yet, how would I know if it will be delayed?"

Many of the films Qi Hao was involved in this year have opted to postpone their release.

The main reason is that the box office performance is too strong. It would be a pity if it were to be taken off the screens after only one month. Qi Hao didn't even need to pull any strings; the distribution company and theaters were already eager to make arrangements.

"I was planning to release it on December 18th. If you don't postpone it, we'll call it 'taking over'; if you do postpone it, then we'll call it 'taking up the battle'."

Jiang Wen's new movie, "Let the Bullets Fly," will be released soon.

"Hehe, your movie..."

Qi Hao wasn't looking down on Jiang Wen, nor was he getting arrogant.

The main point is that Jiang Wen's movies are definitely good movies, but there's no need to have too high expectations for their box office performance.

"Who do you think you are? This time, I'm going to earn money with my head held high."

Jiang Wen roared on the other end of the phone.

Thirty years in Henan, thirty years in Hebei. As a native of Tangshan, Hebei, don't underestimate a poor middle-aged person, damn it!

"Fine, fine, you can earn the money standing up."

Come on, stop fooling around. What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?

"Qi Hao..."

Jiang Wen's voice lowered.

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Have you been drinking?"

Men can be quite frightening when they get emotional, especially middle-aged and older men; they might even cry in front of you.

"Thank you so much this time. Without you, there would be no 'Let the Bullets Fly'. The movie is about to be released. Will you come to the premiere?"

Jiang Wen didn't cry loudly.

But his gratitude was palpable.

Most importantly, Qi Hao disappeared as soon as he gave the money.

The willow tree he sent was just there to help out.

No one asked about the filming process, no one taught him how to make movies, and no one told him that he must make movies that make money.

Qi Hao seemed to have completely forgotten that he had invested in this movie.

"Yes, I'll definitely go!"

Since we've already come this far, I might as well take a day off and go participate.

Jiang Wen is a very talented director.

At most, he's just too opinionated and stubborn when it comes to movies.

Can't he make commercial films?

Qi Hao thought it was possible. He had been a director himself and had made several films. He knew that some truly talented directors could make anything they film captivating, provided they didn't use too many fancy tricks.

Jiang Wen didn't wait for Qi Hao to attend the premiere of his movie; instead, he went to Qi Hao's.

"Love is Not Blind" was released as scheduled.

The premiere attracted many industry leaders and investors, making it a grand event for the film and television industry.

In fact, this movie only cost 30 million yuan to make.

But Qi Hao had gone on a killing spree.

"You Are the Apple of My Eye" defeated Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock" and took the top spot at the domestic film box office before "Aftershock" had even had a chance to recover.

"The Man from Nowhere" has overturned Zhang Yimou's "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

"The Man from Nowhere" grossed over 200 million yuan, while "Under the Hawthorn Tree" only reached a little over 100 million yuan.

Moreover, "The Man from Nowhere" grossed higher at the international box office than in mainland China.

Even Xu Ke's "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" only grossed 2.8 million yuan at the box office.

Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Xu Ke...

Specializes in killing top directors; none of them will escape.

Chen Kaige trembled as he faced the bloodthirsty Qi Hao; his heart was colder than the temperature in November in the north.

He will be releasing "Sacrifice" on the 4th of next month.

He received an invitation to the premiere of "Love is Not Blind" today and accepted the invitation to attend.

Qi Hao has acted in Chen Kaige's films.

In 1998, Beijing Film Studio produced a movie called "The Emperor and the Assassin," directed by Chen Kaige.

Qi Hao played a tiny, insignificant supporting role in it.

Although he had an exceptionally high alcohol tolerance and made a name for himself at drinking parties, becoming acquainted with many big names in movies, Chen Kaige was a very aloof person, and minor supporting roles were hardly worthy of his attention.

Therefore, he had no impression of Qi Hao and ignored him throughout.

Qi Hao remembers it quite clearly.

During a dinner party, he toasted Chen Kaige, but Chen Kaige pretended not to hear him.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

When you are in a humble position, it is normal to be ignored or even strange to be harassed.

Chen Kaige simply pretended not to hear, which was already quite gentlemanly. If he had been truly more sarcastic, he might have immediately launched an attack.

Who do you think you are, to dare ask me to drink with you?

I'll make you lose face on the spot.

However, Chen Kaige most likely doesn't remember this ever happening.

Who would remember a background actor offering a toast? Today, he brought his wife and kids to the premiere of "Love is Not Blind," partly to scout out the competition, and partly because Qi Hao's influence is just too incredible.

Qi Hao personally greeted Chen Kaige.

"The Emperor and the Assassin" is a controversial film. Chen Kaige probably feels it is a disgrace in his career, but Qi Hao met many big shots through this film.

It was around that time that he gained his reputation as the god of wine.

Although he was just a nobody in the eyes of these big shots, their small acts of kindness, such as recommending Qi Hao to others when they came across a suitable role, greatly improved Qi Hao's situation at the time.

Otherwise, he might have to play minor roles for another two years.

It's incredibly difficult for someone like Qi Hao, who neither sells his position nor his connections, to succeed.

Wishing the movie great success!

Chen Kaige was incredibly polite; given his status, he wasn't afraid of Qi Hao at all.

Even if "The Orphan of Zhao" can't compare to "Love is Not Blind" this time, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't affect his continued awesomeness at all.

The problem is that he will grow old and die, while his son will still have to stay in this circle.

His son is only ten years old.

He recently made a cameo appearance as the young "King" in "The Orphan of Zhao".

This is actually considered to have been arranged in advance.

There's nothing we can do. Our child's academic performance is average. Even if he manages to get a degree abroad, he won't have the ability to establish himself in other industries.

You might as well enter the entertainment industry.

At least he has his parents to protect him.

"Thank you, Director Chen. It's truly an honor to have you here. What brings you here?"

Qi Hao shook hands with Chen Kaige very politely, and even shook hands with Chen Kaige's wife, since they were all people in the entertainment industry.

“My son, I brought him here to broaden his horizons.”

Chen Kaige gestured for his son to call someone.

His son is only ten years old, and he hesitates, unsure of what to call him.

Logically speaking, Qi Hao is a young man, not even thirty years old.

His father is a big shot in the industry and is 58 years old this year. He is his father's son born late in life, so by all accounts, he should be of the same generation as Qi Hao.

Calling me "brother" is more appropriate.

However, his mother whispered to him, "Call him Uncle Qi..."

There was no way around it; Qi Hao's status and position in the industry were undeniable.

Moreover, Qi Hao started his career by drinking.

At the dinner table, everyone addressed each other as brothers, including Jiang Wen, Wang Zhiwen, Huang Jianxin, Zheng Xiaolong, and others, all of whom called Qi Hao their brother.

How could Qi Hao be a generation younger than Chen Kaige?

"Hello, Uncle Qi!"

The little boy smiled shyly, clearly not daring to be arrogant in front of Qi Hao.

Children are very sensitive.

They may seem lawless, but they are actually very good at reading people. The fact that Qi Hao is treated so seriously by his parents shows that he has extraordinary power.

"What a handsome young man! I didn't bring a gift with me, but I'll make it up to you later. Come on in!"

Face is given to each other.

Chen Kaige came to the premiere with his family, which was a sign of respect for him.

He made a decision; he would treat Chen Kaige better.

If Chen Kaige were to pass away someday, just because of Chen Kaige's goodwill gesture today, he would have to take care of his sister-in-law and nephew.

I will take care of your wife and children, so you need not worry.

A considerable number of people have already arrived at the scene.

Zhang Yimou also sent an invitation, but Zhang Yimou did not come.

However, a text message was sent from the other side explaining that Zhang Yimou was busy preparing for the filming of "The Flowers of War" and couldn't get away for the time being, and congratulated Qi Hao on the success of his film.

The premiere was basically the same old thing.

The most notable feature of today's premiere is the gathering of big names.

As per the pre-arranged schedule, the host, Xie Nan, also invited several guests to come on stage for an interactive session.

This host was introduced by Wu Jing.

Her current show, "Best Scene," is quite popular, and she has invited many people in the industry to participate in interviews.

Qi Hao had figured it out.

Wu Jing's so-called "fans" are probably this girl named Xie Nan.

But it's clear that they haven't caught up yet.

Seeing Wu Jing's clumsy interaction with the other party, Qi Hao was somewhat exasperated: "If you're this hard to pursue a woman, don't even mention knowing me when you go out in the future."

"When I first heard about this movie, I immediately thought, 'After 33 days of heartbreak... what am I waiting for? Let's find the next one!'"

Jiang Wen was invited to the stage, and he really dared to speak his mind.

The media present were amused by him.

That's exactly the effect we want. The most important thing about premieres is to create buzz and attract the attention of ordinary people so that they know that a movie is about to be released.

Jiang Wen's words are indeed controversial, but controversy is what generates buzz.

Moreover, coming from the mouth of such a distinctive director, it doesn't come across as chauvinistic, nor does it make him seem annoying.

Director Jiang Wen advised those who have experienced heartbreak to move on from the pain as soon as possible, and to keep moving forward no matter how sad they are...

Xie Nan is quite skilled at hosting programs.

The statement that "the best way to heal from heartbreak is to start a new relationship" is presented in a remarkably fresh and unconventional way.

Of course, Xie Nan also felt a lot of pressure facing such a big name.

Especially after Chen Kaige was invited onto the stage.

She couldn't help but think of her colleague at the same company—Liu Yan.
