Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 391 Not a Garbage Dump (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Qi Hao looked into the project and discovered that "Rurouni Kenshin" was adapted from the manga of the same name by Nobuhiro Watsuki and was filmed to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the "Rurouni Kenshin" TV anime.

It belongs to an IP with very distinctive Japanese characteristics.

He invested in Bangbang movies so that the porters would work for him and he could make money from the porter market.

And to expand his influence in the film industry.

Even if films like "Architecture 101" and "Seoul Station" were released in mainland China, they wouldn't have any cultural or ideological impact.

As for works like "Rurouni Kenshin," those are purely examples of cultural importation.

Therefore, Qi Hao decisively rejected the cooperation invitation.

Furthermore, since the system requires him to invest, he must be in a leading position, and Rurouni Kenshin clearly has no intention of relinquishing that leading role.

This collaboration neither contributes to his mission nor promotes Japanese culture; there's no way he'd agree to it.

Scripts were also sent over from Hong Kong.

Zheng Baorui, the director of "Dog Bite Dog," took the script for "Havoc in Heaven" and said that he had already finalized the schedules of several lead actors, such as Zhen Zidan as Sun Wukong, Guo Fucheng as the Bull Demon King, and Zhou Ruifa as the Jade Emperor...

Only 4 million!

Qi Hao almost told him to get lost.

There's also one called "一路向西" (One Way to the West), written by Hu Yaohui.

This guy had a role in the movie "3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy", which was released in April this year.

I don't know if he's gotten addicted to acting, but this time he wants to be a director too.

Unfortunately, "一路向西" (One Way to the West) is an Category III film.

Qi Hao decisively rejected him.

Who the hell do you take me for?

Hendrik Willem Van Loon also came seeking collaboration with his film "Chinese Zodiac," which he will direct himself.

The investment is almost ready; Hendrik Willem Van Loon's films are never short of funding.

The investment is in, but the director is an old man...

This is certainly not in accordance with the system's regulations.

Taking advantage of his proximity to Thailand, Qi Hao also watched a few of the films.

The film "La Boum" tells the story of 25-year-old Sasha falling in love with high school student Panbes and eventually overcoming the huge gap in age and experience to be together.

The film "Love If You Want" tells the story of two girls who cross the taboo of same-sex love to become partners, facing the test of inter-city internships and the cracks in their relationship caused by distance and misunderstandings.

The film "It Will Be Better" tells the story of three forbidden love affairs among transgender people and the subtle connections between the protagonists, showcasing the transgender community's yearning for love and understanding.

It's either same-sex or transgender; typical Thai script, it gives you a headache first and then a sore spot.

In the eyes of Thais, Qi Hao is a top-tier master director of romance films, ranking among the best in Asia.

But he is really "pure" and cannot accept these alternative ideas.

After filming wrapped on "Lost in Thailand 2" and the crew left Thailand, Qi Hao had secured four new mainland Chinese films and two Korean films.

The company also has some older projects, such as Gao Qunshu's new film "Detective Hunter Zhang".

"Detective Hunter Zhang" can be considered an art film.

Zhonghao Entertainment isn't particularly commercially driven; if there are good art films, you can get scripts from this company.

Last year, the film industry earned at least one billion yuan.

Zhonghao has enough money to support some art-house films.

It's not just art films; there are even biographical films, such as "Qian Xuesen."

When Mr. Qian passed away two years ago, the government and Xi'an Film Studio decided to make a film to commemorate him.

The director is Zhang Jianya, whose works include "Sanmao Joins the Army", "The Reign of Zhenguan", and "Love Transfer".

They contacted Zhonghao.

Zhonghao decisively took out 50 million yuan, which, if used to make a biographical film, would definitely make the film exceptionally well-made.

However, Xi'an Film Studio wanted more than just money.

They still want people.

They hope that Qi Hao can play the role of Mr. Qian.

The main consideration is Qi Hao's immense popularity and top-notch acting skills.

The biggest problem with biographical films is that few people watch them.

After filming, I won an award and then shelved it.

This makes it difficult to convey its original propaganda and educational significance through film.

Xi'an Film Studio believes that if Qi Hao is willing to star in the film, even if it doesn't become a box office hit, it will at least attract a lot of young people's attention.

She can act, though.

Qi Hao even felt somewhat flattered.

Although he was a nobody, he still had reverence in his heart and people he greatly admired.

And Qian Lao was one of them.

That is the backbone of the Chinese people.

If we can interpret Qian Lao's life through performance, it would be a rare life experience for him.

However, Qi Hao only received the invitation in March of this year.

He was about to get married at that time, followed by "Lost in Thailand 2" and "My Love from the Star". His schedule was almost completely full this year.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Xi'an Film Studio was quite accommodating. They stated that although the film was made to commemorate the centenary of Qian Xuesen's birth, it did not necessarily have to be released in 2011.

This project can wait until Qi Hao's availability is available.

After all, the main actor is Qi Hao, and as long as Qi Hao's schedule is available, it's not too late to find other actors.

In addition, Qi Haoxin also received the script "Detective Chinatown".

This script belongs to the comedy genre.

Finding someone to direct is a very troublesome problem.

Qi Hao planned that if there was really no suitable person, he would hand it over to Ye Weimin.

He can make two movies a year, one in the "Lost in..." series and one in the detective series. He won't have to worry about what movies to make anymore.

Just stay in your comfort zone.

Qi Hao returned to the capital after filming "Lost in Thailand 2" in September 2011.

In the Chinese entertainment industry, the most exciting news is that Zhang Baizhi's agency, New Asia Entertainment, issued a statement announcing the divorce of the Zhang Baizhi couple, finally putting an end to the nearly three-month-long rumors of their marital troubles.

Regarding the custody issue, which is of utmost concern to the public, the two reached an agreement on "joint custody" and declared that "the happy growth of the two children will be the primary consideration." The statement said that the two decided to divorce due to incompatibility.

But everyone knows the reason.

Since Zhang Baizhi was exposed to have bumped into Chen Guanxi on a plane and invited him to take a selfie, news of Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi's marriage being in trouble has been frequently reported in the media.

The two of them also put all their effort into attacking each other.

Zhang Baizhi was accused of being greedy, domineering, unreasonable, having affairs with other men during her marriage, and using her child to blackmail her husband...

Zhang Baizhi has repeatedly stated that she wants to expose her husband's true colors.

Even a loving couple who once had a "love of the century" can be just as dramatic as ordinary people when they start fighting.

The media, however, were indeed satisfied.

Ever since Chen Guanxi's computer was sent for repair, everyone has been watching movies while simultaneously criticizing Feng Zhilian.

It is unbearable.

It seems that even the strongest love can't withstand their constant nagging.

Moreover, this relationship was never very strong to begin with.

Zhang Baizhi and Chen Guanxi, Xie Tingfeng and the Princess—those were all sensational romances.

Now the drama has come to an end, and the two have finally divorced.

I wonder if Zhang Baizhi and Chen Guanxi, Xie Tingfeng and the Princess will have any more entanglements.

They've been very popular for the past few months.

The divorce drama between the two has frequently dominated the headlines of major media outlets.

Not all of these reports were spontaneously generated by the media.

Both sides have been buying articles to smear each other and, incidentally, clear their own names.

In addition, both parties can benefit from the buzz surrounding the divorce.

There is very obvious evidence.

The divorce statement was issued on August 22 (this Monday), but the date on the divorce statement is August 19 (last Friday).

It was posted three days later.

The element of hype in this is quite obvious.

In terms of the number of newspaper pages, Friday has fewer pages than Monday, so the person involved deliberately delayed issuing the statement until Monday in order to secure more space.

The same applies to online media; Monday sees the highest online traffic within a week.

This is what's commonly known as "Monday Reveal" in the entertainment industry.

However, their Monday reveal angered some people.

"Didn't you just swindle Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu out of a sum of money a while ago? How come you've already spent it all?"

Qi Hao took the documents handed to him by Chu Rong.

As expected, the higher-ups wanted Qi Hao to approve the money application.

Since those marketing companies were outside of Qi Hao's businesses, the approval of funds needed to go through Qi Hao's private process.

If it's an internal financial application, you can just go through the internal process.

"All spent, new business."

Chu Rong felt guilty. While other departments were generating revenue, their public relations department was still spending money recklessly.

James Leiden even said that Qi Hao would definitely approve it.

"Oh, could it be related to Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi's business? Shouldn't that be profitable? It's your forte, profiting from both sides..."

Qi Hao glanced at it quickly and signed it.

"Boss, the pen is mine..."

Chu Rong coughed twice. His pen, the one he was most comfortable using, was casually stuck into his pen holder by his boss.

"Ah, sorry."

Qi Hao handed the pen and the document back to the other party.

"Actually, that's not the case," Chu Rong explained the reason for the funding application: "We didn't take Zhang Baizhi and Xie Tingfeng's orders. We've been focusing on expanding the impact of the monument-smashing incident recently, and Zhang Baizhi and Xie Tingfeng's hype has affected our operations."

"Ah, smashing the monument, I do know that."

Qi Hao suddenly realized that this was indeed something that James Leiden and his group would do.

It was absurd, but it actually happened.

"Deng said that we must expand the impact, not to force anyone to be held accountable, but to let more people know that this is wrong."

Chu Rong became more and more confident as he spoke.

"Is this little bit of money enough?"

James Leiden was right; Qi Hao not only approved the loan, but he was even worried about whether the loan would be enough.

"Most of the work is done voluntarily and doesn't cost much. Now, Brother Deng is angry that Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi are in the way and plans to teach them a lesson."

Chu Rong had nothing to hide from Qi Hao.

In fact, he originally intended to report to Qi Hao about what they had done.

Some things can't be put in writing, so face-to-face communication is necessary.

"I understand... I'm fine on my end, thank you for your hard work."

Qi Hao had no connection with Xie Tingfeng or Zhang Baizhi, and he wasn't worried about angering the Shadow Emperor behind Xie Tingfeng.

Given Qi Hao's current strength, the Shadow Emperor is truly insignificant.

Moreover, the market is currently mainly in mainland China.

Even a powerful dragon has to be coiled up, let alone the Shadow Emperor, who is far from being a powerful dragon.

It would be easy for James Leiden and his group to teach Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi a lesson.

Both Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng assaulted someone, so why was Zhang Weijian blacklisted while Xie Tingfeng was allowed to live freely because he had powerful backers?

Is it because he's such a good actor that it's a shame he was banned?

But pull it down.

As for Zhang Baizhi, he's a notorious scoundrel in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

He just washed up and started his career in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Although there is a lot of trash in the Chinese entertainment industry, it's not a dumping ground for all sorts of people to try and get involved.
