Chapter 397 A Good Thought Process

"Hehe, it's mainly because you spoke so well, boss, that I couldn't help but say something. Actually, I think if we could record the whole lesson and put it online, it would definitely be a huge promotion for the TV series. The few tens of minutes we wasted would be well worth it."

Guo Fan has a lot of ideas.

However, some seasoned veterans at the scene wanted to mourn for him.

Who do you think you are? You're just a puppet. Your job is to watch the monitor for the director.

Where do you get so many opinions from?

If the director wants to establish his authority, believe me, he'll make an example of you today and make it impossible for you to stay in the industry.

This will ensure that the entire crew will be completely subservient for the next few months.

However, Qi Hao obviously wouldn't do that; he didn't need to deliberately establish his authority.

On the contrary, I think Guo Fan's idea is pretty good.

This approach aims to create the most impactful publicity with minimal cost.

To see the big picture from small details.

As a newcomer to the film industry, having this kind of thought process might actually lead to some success in the future.

After all, saving money is a skill.

"Let's continue filming then. We'll just film this for today."

With Qi Hao's support, Guo Fan instantly established his position in the crew, and those who were always ready to take his place could only temporarily shut up.

Opportunities are given based on performance.

If you don't know how to seize opportunities, when will you ever become an executive director?

Assistant Director – Executive Director – Director.

This is the path to promotion that Qi Hao promised.

An Feng also appeared on screen during class.

She has a very student-like demeanor.

Especially when she has long, straight hair and wears glasses while listening to a lecture, and the camera is focused on her profile, she is the embodiment of many people's ideal woman from their student days.

She is only twenty-four years old this year.

He was only a few years older than many of the students in the classroom.

In addition, she has an exceptionally high level of attractiveness, making her stand out even in a school like the Beijing Film Academy, where admission is based on looks.

You'd notice her immediately in the classroom.

The next few days were mainly spent filming scenes at the school.

Having honed his skills on the big screen and having starred in two consecutive campus youth films, An Feng is adept at playing both stars and students.

Most shots were completed in one or two takes.

The filming progress is incredibly fast.

While Qi Hao and An Feng were filming a TV series at the Beijing Film Academy, Lao Tian was finally getting married.

He married his childhood sweetheart, with whom he had grown up since they were young.

The date was chosen to be October 1st, National Day.

Qi Hao naturally attended the wedding without hesitation.

We've known each other for many years.

Even if it's just filming, even if it's raining knives, even if the bride doesn't attend the wedding, he still has to go!

And he even took An Feng with him.

The film crew naturally took a day off.

It's normal for film crews to take holidays. Some directors with strong personalities sometimes even drag out filming for ten days or half a month just to wait for a satisfactory sunset.

Few people from the entertainment industry attended Lao Tian's wedding.

He is indeed the president of an entertainment company, but Qi Hao's side does not have a talent agency business, so naturally they don't have such close relationships with celebrities.

Celebrities who are allowed to participate must have a sufficient personal relationship with the event.

Most business clients simply give a gift and that's it.

Therefore, the wedding was kept very low-key.

Because of the excellent secrecy, there were hardly any media outlets staking out the area, let alone providing follow-up reports.

Lao Tian's wedding style was different from Qi Hao's; he preferred a more traditional Chinese style.

It is said to be a wedding custom in Lao Tian's hometown.

They would set up a large inflatable red archway and a huge sound system playing popular Hong Kong and Taiwan songs.

When he was little, Lao Tian's sister said that she would have a wedding like this when she grew up.

It's really kind of Lao Tian to still remember.

He probably thought he would arrange it for his sister when she got married, but he never expected that they would get married together in the end.

The dress is a Xiuhe.

The bright red archway adds to the festive atmosphere.

Watching Lao Tian get married, Qi Hao felt a mix of emotions. His own brother was really getting married.

At the wedding, he was also invited to speak as a representative of the groom's friends.

“I’ve known Lao Tian for over ten years, probably longer than the time he’s spent with his bride…”

His first sentence made the bride feel sour.

Since you two are so close, why don't you get married?

Fortunately, Qi Hao knew Lao Tian's sister, otherwise he would probably have been mistaken for someone trying to steal the bride.

“Over the years, it hasn’t been easy for either of us, but God has not let us down. We have not only achieved some success in our careers, but we have also found the people we love and the partners to spend our lives with... which proves that my relationship with him is innocent.”

I remember when Qi Hao got married, Lao Tian was also invited to speak.

He complained at the time that Qi Hao finally had someone who wanted him, and he no longer had to be suspected of having an affair with Qi Hao.

Now, Qi Hao returned it to him intact.

An Feng was also invited to the stage.

Since she got together with Qi Hao, she has had quite a bit of contact with today's bride and groom.

We're fairly familiar with each other.

Old Tian's wife is a kindergarten teacher. She spends every day with the children. She is simple-minded, loves to laugh, and is not difficult to get along with.

The four people stood together, and the camera captured the moment.

Soon after the wedding, the movie "Kuiba" was released.

This animated film cost a lot of money. Initially, there was only five million, but Wang Chuan asked Qi Hao for ten million in investment, and Qi Hao added another five million.

The total comes to twenty million.

Unfortunately, by the end of production, they were completely broke and couldn't even afford marketing or promotion.

So additional publicity and promotion expenses were added.

This film was distributed by Zhonghao Entertainment itself. Everyone knows that this kind of film is hard to make money from, and no one is competing for it.

The most dazzling film during this National Day holiday was "Painted Skin," which premiered nationwide on September 29.

At the start of the National Day holiday, "Painted Skin" ranked second in terms of screenings nationwide during the same period, with "The Legend of the White Snake" ranking first, which was released a day earlier.

The screening situation began to reverse on October 3. On that day, "Painted Skin" earned 15 million yuan at the box office, becoming the box office champion of the day. On October 4 and 5, "Painted Skin" continued its success, winning the daily box office champion for two consecutive days. As of October 6, the film's box office had exceeded 100 million yuan.

However, neither "The Legend of the White Snake" nor "Painted Skin" are considered good films.

"The Legend of the White Snake" is far inferior to Xu Ke's romantic and unrestrained "Green Snake" back then. At best, it is just an entertainment film that emphasizes visual effects while neglecting emotions.

Viewers commented that it used the most dazzling special effects to create the most emotionless Bai Suzhen.

Huang Shengyi's acting skills can only be described as disastrous.

Her acting peak can probably only be considered to have been during the "Kung Fu" era.

After "Kung Fu Hustle," she couldn't even be considered a pretty face anymore.

While "Painted Skin" outperformed "The Legend of the White Snake" at the box office, it didn't stand out in any particular way. Director Chen Jiashang shifted the film's focus to women's various concepts of love, seriously neglecting the story's logic and character development. This turned what should have been a heart-wrenching fantasy film into a mess, even thinner and more boring than "The Legend of the White Snake."

The film "1911 Revolution," which was released at the same time, was described by audiences as a "condensed version of 'Towards the Republic,'" and was the most disappointing film of this National Day holiday.

Because everyone had high expectations for this movie – there weren't many people looking forward to "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Painted Skin".

This year's movies are much worse than last year's.

The National Day holiday period is completely incomparable, with very few films grossing over 100 million yuan.

However, it is precisely because this year's movies have all fared poorly.

This gave "Kuiba" a chance to catch its breath.

Yes, at best they can only catch their breath and get a tiny bit more screen time; it's unlikely they'll ever make it big.

The film "Kuiba" itself has many problems. Although Wang Chuan made great efforts to make changes with Qi Hao's support, it could not change the fact that many viewers still could not understand it.

Many viewers came specifically to see Qi Hao's first animated film.

As a result, I was completely confused.

Because there are too many things to explain, it's difficult to make the plot stand out.

Some viewers even felt cheated after watching it.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Original animated films inevitably carry this type of risk.

Fortunately, the film's production quality is indeed quite good; whether it's the characters, the visuals, or the special effects, it's among the best in Chinese animation.

After all, there's a sum of 30 million to be had.

Putting aside "Rock Dog," spending 30 million yuan on an animated film these days seems like a bit of a rip-off.

It only costs a few dollars to make a movie of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

Qi Hao had anticipated the failure of "Kuiba," but this result did not prevent him from continuing to invest in Wang Chuan to make "Kuiba 2."

In the communication group of the China Animation Development Alliance, he even picked out some of the advantages of "Kuiba" and made a systematic analysis and praise.

This gave these comic book professionals a huge boost of energy.
