Chapter 390 The Power of Money Reappears (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Xue Xiaolu was surprised that Qi Hao actually agreed.

She was allowed to stay in the hotel booked by the film crew, and she was allowed to appear on set, but they didn't even assign her any work.

At most, I'll just give her the script for "Lost in Thailand 2" and ask her if she has any suggestions for improvement.

Why not?

One sheep is driven, two sheep are herded.

In just a few days, the production crew gained more than a dozen so-called assistant directors.

This is actually only part of it.

After all, having someone come all the way to Thailand for an "interview" is itself a hurdle.

Qi Hao doesn't invest in every project.

In total, he only managed to select five or six projects.

He even rejected Lu Yang's notebook.

Lu Yang's new screenplay, "RV Adventure," tells the story of a self-made successful elite who turns out to be a morally reprehensible "scumbag," whose 16 ex-girlfriends all harbor resentment towards him. A sudden piece of bad news leads him on a journey in his RV to find his exes.

The protagonist in the script is successful in his career, dashing and romantic, but after encountering a misfortune, he is forced to drive a campervan to seek out his many ex-girlfriends.

"What the hell is this?"

Qi Hao threw the script directly into Lu Yang's arms. He wondered if he had been blind; he had actually thought Lu Yang had potential.

"Romance movies, they're the most popular right now."

Lu Yang is innocent.

Who wrote the script for you?

Qi Hao was quite curious; the script was really of very poor quality.

The male protagonist is the creator of a perfume empire, a domineering CEO. He is diagnosed with leukemia and goes to find his dozen or so ex-girlfriends, hoping to find his child so that he can receive a bone marrow transplant.

You might as well say he's infertile and needs to find an heir.

The naturally womanizing male protagonist, due to his past scumbag behavior, is almost universally despised by his exes during this visit: a powerful businesswoman who has now become his business rival sets a trap to embarrass him in front of the media; a decisive female police officer mobilizes all the city's police cars to apprehend them; and a seductive Latin dance instructor leads them down a path of no return, hunted by a mafia boss...

This must be a female screenwriter.

“My father’s student, the original script for ‘Blind Cinema’ was hers, and I changed it into what it is now after I got it.”

Lu Yang was slightly embarrassed.

"Do you think your plot will have a market? Didn't you say last time that you wanted to make a film about Brotherhood of Blades or something? My company has a scriptwriting team. Why don't you talk to them about it and make this one?"

Qi Hao doesn't trust Lu Yang's screenwriting, but he has a lot of faith in the screenwriters from his own company.

After all, the company's writing team receives bonuses based on the quality of the scripts. If the scripts they produce are subpar, their income will be significantly reduced.

"Alright, I'll get the Embroidered Spring Knife first."

Lu Yang nodded vigorously, intending to throw the script for "RV Adventure" into the shredder.

Both Lu Yang's and Han Yan's scripts are mediocre.

Xue Xiaolu's script was only half-finished.

Qi Hao hasn't seen Wu Jing's script yet.

None of the four scripts seemed very reliable, which made Qi Hao lack confidence in completing the mission.

Moreover, this task is clearly capable of being completed beyond expectations.

The so-called basic technology gift package.

It's basic technology for advanced civilizations, but it's hard to say what it might be for Earth.

Maybe there's controlled nuclear fusion.

Currently, many technologies in China are being held back by the US.

In particular, after Qi Hao reviewed Xiaomi's business information, he discovered that Xiaomi would face a "patent crisis" in the future.

Xiaomi is dependent on foreign countries for many technologies, especially advanced technologies such as chips.

This has earned Xiaomi the reputation of being an "assembly plant without core technologies".

Therefore, Qi Hao only values ​​Xiaomi's rate of return.

He doesn't think Xiaomi deserves the business information provided by Tongzi Ge.

This information definitely needs to be put to use.

That is to establish another technology research and development company outside of Xiaomi.

Qi Hao is no longer short of money.

His career began to look towards the stars and the sea.

If we can discuss it with Brother Tongzi and get more core technology-related resources, we don't need to surpass Xiaomi by many years, just be roughly the same.

There's no need to worry about R&D funding.

These days, even scammers can easily get research and development funding.

Just look at the "Hanxin No. 1" chip and you'll understand.

Therefore, Qi Hao hopes to exceed expectations for this mission, even if it costs more money.

How much more money can I spend?
The cost of a movie can range from tens of millions to a few tens of millions, and some can even be done for just a few million.

Even if Qi Hao invests in ten movies, it will only amount to a few hundred million.

The rewards for exceeding the target are definitely worth far more than a few hundred million.

Finally, Brother Tongzi released this task.

It would be a shame not to seize the opportunity.

Therefore, Qi Hao not only sent people to his door with scripts, he also launched a script acquisition plan once again.

The sucker is online.

If I have a good script, whether it's from Thailand, South Korea, Japan, or even Hollywood, as long as the script is good enough, I'll buy it for a high price.

Then just find a few promising directors to film it.

It has to be said that "I Am Rich" is truly an incredibly impressive financial ability.

After this news was released, scripts began pouring in like snowflakes.

By the time filming for "Lost in Thailand 2" wrapped up, Qi Hao had received hundreds of scripts.

Of course, out of these hundreds of scripts, perhaps not even ten are truly excellent. Most are hastily produced, hoping to get lucky.

What if I get selected?

Only a small portion of them are legitimate movie scripts.

Furthermore, considering that the script also needs to conform to the actual situation in China, the number of usable scripts is estimated to be even smaller.

There are two great scripts.

Since acquiring the script for "The Uncle" and achieving great success, Qi Hao has held "Bangbang" in higher regard.

People here are less likely to become intellectually deficient as long as they don't talk about Zheng Zhi or culture.

A script called "Introduction to Architecture" is a romance film. The screenwriter, Lee Yong-joo, had been developing the script before filming his debut feature film, "Hell Without Belief."

In 03, Lee Yong-ju served as assistant director on the crime thriller film "Memories of Murder" directed by Bong Joon-ho.

I have accumulated a lot of experience and connections.

Leveraging this network, Li Yongzhou wrote and directed his first film, "I Don't Believe in Hell," in 2009. The film won the Best Screenplay Award at the 30th Bang Bang Film Blue Dragon Awards and was also nominated for the Best New Director Award.

Unfortunately, the film only grossed about 24.83 RMB at the box office.

This data is rather awkward.

The new film "Architecture 101" tells a story about first love, friendship, career, and life, allowing viewers to understand the true meaning of life and love amidst laughter and sweetness.

The script doesn't have many conflicts or plot twists, making it a pure love movie.

These kinds of romantic movies are practically everywhere in Korea.

Coupled with the failure of the previous film, no film company was interested anymore.

Therefore, after encountering numerous setbacks, Li Yongzhou turned his attention to China.

"The Man from Nowhere" was a huge box office success throughout Asia.

Although the original screenwriter, Li Zhenfan, missed out on a great movie, he still received his screenwriting fee and retained the remake rights. The film is currently in the casting stage.

Having already been tested by the market, this remake film successfully secured investment.

It is said that Won Bin was also invited to star in it.

They are determined to create a more handsome man than Qi Hao.

With Li Zhenfan's example as an example, Li Yongzhou is not opposed to cooperating with Huaxia.

However, his requirements were more demanding.

He hoped that Qi Hao would invest in the film, and that he would still direct it, with the production location also arranged in Bangbang's area.

In other words, they're obsessed with money.

Yeon Sang-ho shared similar thoughts.

Yan Xianghao is a comic book artist, so he has a better understanding of the development of animated films in China.

He started making an animated film called "Seoul Station" in 06, but he had too many ideas for the film and too little money, so he worked on it intermittently.

It's been five years now and it's still not finished.

They had to take on other projects to keep going.

I've heard that the renowned Chinese company has started issuing receipts again.

He then had an idea.

Could we slightly modify the script for "Seoul Station" and sell it to a Chinese company as a live-action film script?

This gave him the money to continue making "Seoul Station".

However, he was not comfortable handing "Seoul Station" over to someone else, so he requested to direct it himself.

It's obvious that zombie movies can't be filmed in China, so the only place for production is in South Korea.

In this way, Zhonghao Media once again became a mere investor.

There are a few other great movie scripts, but none of them can compare to "Architecture 101" and "Seoul Station".

Even though Qi Hao was very unhappy, he could only turn his attention to these two movies.

Fortunately, the system did not specify that it had to be a Chinese film director. If these two excellent directors can make a good film, then Qi Hao will have completed his task.

After failing to persuade them and finding it unsuitable for filming in mainland China, Qi Hao tacitly agreed that the two screenwriters would still direct, with Zhonghao Entertainment only responsible for providing funding.

For example, the course "Introduction to Architecture" had a total investment of 80 million RMB.

The main reason is that director Lee Young-joo wanted to invite Han Ga-in to make a comeback.

Han Ga-in is incredibly beautiful; she's considered a top-tier beauty in the Korean entertainment industry.

He hasn't released any new works since getting married a few years ago.

Not only has her appearance remained unchanged, but she has also gained more of a wifely charm, and many projects have extended offers to her.

If they wanted to bring her back to the screen and assemble a cast worthy of her, the actors' salaries would be a huge expense, so Lee Yong-ju asked for a high price of 80 million RMB for the production cost.

So Zhonghao Entertainment gave him 60 million, taking a 75% share.

It's impossible to occupy all of them; it's easy to get scammed.

With 60 million, finding the remaining 20 million is a piece of cake. Many film companies on Bangbang's side also want to cooperate with Qi Hao.

Qi Hao has already won the stick-making market with his strength.

Given their behavior there, if Qi Hao went there to discuss business, he could easily arrange for a few popular girl group members to join him.

On the contrary, Yeon Sang-ho is a very frugal person when it comes to "Train to Busan". He said that it can be made for 10 billion won, which is 60 million RMB, and the stars he invited are not particularly bad.

Zhonghao Entertainment promised him an investment of 50 million.

Let him find the rest himself.

The two excellent directors started working very actively for Qi Hao.

There's a project in Japan called "Rurouni Kenshin".

They came seeking cooperation.

However, what they lack is not money, but an opportunity to enter the Chinese mainland market.

Therefore, they hope that Qi Hao can help bring this film to the mainland.
