Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 374 They're in cahoots (Seeking monthly votes)

"Those socialites?"

Qi Hao also noticed that their activities were mainly concentrated in the capital, where there were a lot of such people.

He's been in the industry for many years and has had dealings with people before.

Qi Hao didn't have a good impression of these so-called socialites; he always felt they were too pretentious.

Moreover, the way he looked at me was somewhat like a wolf or a tiger.

"Pretty much. I'm stuck in one small circle after another, and nobody's mentoring me. I don't dare offend anyone."

An Feng also felt wronged.

Qi Hao started from scratch and took a different path from others, which resulted in him not having a fixed circle of high-level connections.

Almost every circle is trying to win over this new tycoon.

As Qi Hao's fiancée, An Feng is also the focus of attention in various circles of wealthy ladies and socialites.

Some socialites and wealthy women thought she and Qi Hao were nouveau riche.

However, many people value Qi Hao and the immense power he possesses.

Qi Hao is definitely not just a nouveau riche.

He not only has money, but also businesses, which can bring him enormous social influence.

The largest private enterprise in Chinese-language cinema, the "Little Buffett" of the investment world, owns financial assets in several industries.

Influence is not simply about how much money you have in your pocket.

Instead, we should look at the energy that this person can leverage.

Moreover, Qi Hao is too young; his future holds limitless possibilities.

As a result, An Feng also became a hot commodity.

However, An Feng had no similar experience and was out of place in the circles of these wealthy women.

"You don't need to fit in with them, and I don't need to fit in with them either. Let's just ignore them."

Qi Hao thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt it was quite boring.

He likes An Feng.

I admire her frankness and purity, her humility and modesty, her gentleness and resilience...

If she changes in order to fit into the so-called high society circles.

Is she still the An Feng she loves?

“My mom said that you’re becoming more and more capable, while I’m still just a celebrity. If I can’t help you, we’ll have a lot of conflicts sooner or later. For example, you’ll have to hire a female assistant to help you with these things, and that female assistant will be doing my job. Sooner or later she’ll be able to replace me…”

An Feng didn't want to deal with these people either.

However, Ms. Liu felt that this was a form of growth.

No one can stay a child forever; everyone has to grow up, play different roles, and shoulder different responsibilities.

Like her, she loved dancing when she was young, then got married, then divorced and became a single mother, and finally entered the entertainment industry with her daughter...

She played different roles at different times.

These roles don't ask her whether she wants to or not; when they come upon her, she has to do them whether she wants to or not.

So she encouraged her daughter to learn it.

So that we won't be helpless when faced with various situations in the future when we really need them.

"What a mess..."

Qi Hao found Ms. Liu's idea incredible.

However, upon closer reflection, it does make some sense.

As a mother, Ms. Liu has indeed always been planning for her daughter's future.

But it really wasn't a good fit for him.

Qi Hao is not a typical "wealthy family". All his wealth and businesses are built on two dimensions.

One started from scratch and built their business up little by little.

The other is the protection provided by the system.

This is a high-dimensional product capable of changing group perceptions.

A special effects company with dozens of employees is thriving in the industry, but it was acquired by Qi Hao several years ago and settled in Hong Kong.

This involves many people and many things.

However, everything was flawless.

No one questioned the authenticity of this event.

Don't be fooled by Qi Hao's constant shouting of "dog system, dog system."

But actually thinking about how the system works can send chills down your spine.

Fortunately, the system was bound to him.

He is the so-called "host".

They are in a group.

This is Qi Hao's greatest reliance and source of confidence.

When he first started out, he persisted as an extra for three years, driven by this belief.

He remains very confident.

No one can stop him.

Of course, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, and Qi Hao didn't rely on the system for everything.

Who knows if this thing will disappear in the future?

Therefore, on the one hand, he won over Zhang Nan, a third-generation member of the family, and entrusted him with important responsibilities.

On the other hand, he befriended Gao Yang and raised Gao Yang's daughter into a successful businesswoman, making Gao Yang owe him a huge favor.

If anything happens to him, Gao Yang will definitely not stand idly by.

Gao Yang's ability to rise to his current position demonstrates an unimaginable level of influence.

In addition, Qi Hao has also been deeply involved in the field of animated films.

Exploring this field where there is virtually nothing left is not only because we are optimistic about its future development, but also because we have had more interaction with the government through this field.

Supporting the animation industry...

What kind of support?
Naturally, this means supporting the development of domestic animation alliances, and this resource-sharing platform is actually controlled by Qi Hao.

Does someone like Qi Hao need to mingle with socialites and celebrities?

He didn't aspire to change the world; self-preservation was enough for him. And the power he now possessed was sufficient to achieve that goal.

Therefore, he did not want An Feng to change for any reason.

Even growth should be natural, moving towards a more mature and attractive direction.

It's not about helping him engage in petty and despicable acts.

At the end of January, filming for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" finally wrapped up, which was also close to the Chinese New Year.

The film took more than three months to shoot.

Apart from the plot, everything else is quite excellent.

However, Qi Hao felt that if he were to direct it, he might do a better job than Xu Ke.

I don't know if he's gotten too cocky.

They even look down on Tsui Hark.

He felt that the movie's plot was its biggest flaw, meaning that it was very likely to become the most criticized aspect after the movie's release.

Then the problem is coming.

Did Xu Ke know that the movie's plot was terrible?
If he knew, did he ever think about how to solve it?

Or rather, he simply doesn't care whether the plot is good or bad, and he believes that the audience doesn't care either way.

There are also problems with the action design.

Although Li Lianjie was willing to accept more difficult action design later because of Qi Hao.

However, he was getting old after all!

For an action actor, at their age, they are already plagued by illnesses and simply do not have the conditions for high-intensity fighting.

Therefore, if Qi Hao were the director, he definitely wouldn't choose Li Lianjie.

If it feels out of place to use young actors in the sequel to "New Dragon Gate Inn," then a prequel would be a perfect alternative.

How did a former imperial guard instructor give up his secure job to enter the martial arts world? His acquaintance with Qiu Moyan is also quite interesting.

Ling Yanqiu, played by Zhou Xun, is actually Jin Xiangyu.

However, her personal temperament and acting style are vastly different from Zhang Manyu's Jin Xiangyu.

On the contrary, she is more similar to Qiu Moyan.

Xu Ke may have been aware of the differences in the characters, so he not only changed Zhou Huai'an to Zhao Huai'an, but also changed Jin Xiangyu to Ling Yanqiu.

However, in terms of plot and details, it still revolves around Dragon Inn, and the shadows of those people are everywhere.

Therefore, making a prequel is truly better than making a sequel.

In martial arts movies, especially those with a touch of fantasy, no one bothers with historical accuracy.

Even with careful research, you'll find a ton of plot holes in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

Neither the plot nor the action is good.

What else is worth watching in this movie?

Qi Hao is very pessimistic about the box office performance of the movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

However, he was quite satisfied with his portrayal of Yu Huatian, a type of character he rarely played in his acting career, and at least he got to experience acting.

However, it's estimated that they will never work together again after Xu Ke.

Even if he adapts a Jin Yong IP, it will be the same.

Jin Yong simply wouldn't let him film it. By the time he regained the IP after Jin Yong's death, who knows how long it would take.

After filming wrapped, it was almost Chinese New Year.

Qi Hao is going to give gifts this Spring Festival.

In most places, there is a similar custom: if two people are not yet married but have already agreed to be together, the man is expected to bring gifts to the couple.

It's usually given during the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qi Hao didn't send a gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he did send one during their engagement. Since the dates are so close, there's no need to send one again.

However, during the Spring Festival, it is essential to give gifts.

Qi Hao's father-in-law was practically a figurehead.

They've remarried, and if you go to visit them, both sides will feel uncomfortable, and you'll also offend your mother-in-law.

So, Qi Hao simply sent some things over there through someone and then called to inquire.

Professor An inquired about the wedding arrangements.

He had virtually no objections, stating that he would bring his family to the wedding and personally escort his daughter off.

Ms. Liu, however, needs Qi Hao to send her something.

Qi Hao was completely clueless when it came to giving gifts to women, especially middle-aged and elderly women.

However, the principle of catering to their preferences remains unchanged.

What does Ms. Liu like?
stock!

Therefore, Qi Hao gave Ms. Liu 200,000 yuan worth of Tesla stock.

Cost price: $25 per share.

Something worth five million dollars, that's definitely a huge waste of money.

The money spent on An Feng was probably less than the money spent on Ms. Liu, which made Ms. Liu start to reflect on whether she had been too stingy ever since she received the stock subscription documents.

The 200,000 Tesla shares were only part of Qi Hao's acquisition.

After he gave the order, the company efficiently began to raise funds and then quietly acquired Tesla's outstanding shares.

They acquired approximately 320 million shares in total.

Because it did not reach the 5% threshold for disclosure of shareholding, it did not trigger a large-scale market reaction.

When it entered the market, the price was around $22, and the average price was less than $26.

Qi Hao gave the extra 20 shares to his mother-in-law.

It can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

After completing the system task, you'll receive over three million Tesla shares. That's some pretty slick stuff.

I bet even Brother Tongzi was stunned by him.

After giving the gifts, Qi Hao went back to Tianjin for the Chinese New Year. Since they weren't married yet, it wasn't appropriate for their families to spend the holiday together.

Next year, we'll be celebrating the Lunar New Year together as a family.
