Chapter 415 Expecting Yan Wang to Have a Baby
It's not a matter of whether the belly is big or small.

When you look at someone normally, you wouldn't keep staring at their belly to compare sizes, because what if they eat a lot?

The main reason is that Anfeng often makes a gesture of protecting her stomach.

This is a mother's instinct; she will do it naturally, especially when the surrounding environment changes.

By observing the abdomen again, it is easy to draw a clear conclusion.

An Feng is pregnant!

Although dating – marriage – having a baby is a very smooth process, it still has a significant impact on netizens.

The fans were also divided into two camps.

A small minority felt that An Feng had been reduced to a breeding machine, having to bear Qi Hao's child at such a young age.

There's no way around it; having fans doesn't require any special qualifications.

Even if you're mentally unstable, you can't stop them from idolizing celebrities.

These people always felt that An Feng was not doing well.

She just got married; it doesn't mean she's living a good life now.

Fortunately, most people felt that the two had a really good relationship and were starting to have a child so quickly.

When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when rich, one should have many children.

Qi Hao's family is so wealthy and powerful, if he doesn't have a child to inherit it, does that mean it will benefit someone else in the future?
Moreover, Qi Hao accompanied An Feng on most of his trips.

It's obvious that they are very much in love.

Instead of interfering in other people's lives, it's better to live your own life well.

All they need to do is look forward to the birth of their child.

The child born to such a handsome couple must be incredibly good-looking.

The thousands of employees at Donghao Group were overjoyed to learn that the boss's wife was pregnant.

This is just like in ancient times.

Although whether an emperor has children or not is his family matter, without an heir, the rule is like a pile of loose sand, and problems may arise at any time.

Clearly, Qi Hao having a child at only thirty years old is a good thing for the entire group.

To put it bluntly, even if Qi Hao is dead.

Old Tian is able to continue to keep the group stable.

After being exposed, An Feng started sharing her pregnancy life on Weibo.

They're all pretty everyday things.

For example, her husband is making soup for her, her mother is making little clothes by hand, and she is humming nursery rhymes.

After posting it on Weibo, I will also repost it on Bilibili.

Bilibili's anime/manga (ACG) content is too strong. While this can be considered an advantage, Qi Hao knows that the future of such websites lies in diversified development, so some changes are necessary.

The online video industry is currently undergoing unprecedented changes, making it the perfect time for restructuring.

Bilibili has recently gained a lot of popularity.

However, it wasn't because there were many videos related to An Feng, but because "Empresses in the Palace" was released on Bilibili, which sparked a frenzy of online viewing among netizens.

If "Empresses in the Palace" was met with a lukewarm reception for a period of time when it first aired.

In fact, the word-of-mouth turned around in the later stages of the premiere.

Whether a TV series is good or bad is obvious to anyone with eyes.

Those who were able to turn adversity around either emerged during the "ancient times" when heroes vied for supremacy, but compared to the films and television dramas of that era, they were not very prominent and were only gradually recognized later.

Or it's particularly obscure and dull, and its beauty is only discovered after time has passed.

There is no reason for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to be overlooked, whether it's the costumes, props, the plot, or the current TV drama market.

However, people prefer stories of turning adversity into victory.

Therefore, many scripts depicting the first round of "Empresses in the Palace" being very tragic have appeared online.

If it were really that bad, the second round wouldn't have sold so well.

After the second round of broadcasts, the TV series was uploaded to Bilibili.

Online streaming is a completely different concept from television broadcasting.

It is more suitable for young people and also for office workers.

Many people work 996 hours a day, so it's not appropriate to ask them to watch TV when they get home.

Many people registered on Bilibili to watch "Empresses in the Palace".

In the past, it was very difficult to register on Bilibili; you might not have been able to register without some skill.

It's different now.

With substantial financial backing, the website is able to accommodate a massive number of users.

In addition, there's Bilibili's bullet comment feature.

More and more viewers are noticing and being drawn to this novel way of watching videos, which is characterized by bullet comments.

Actually, this thing wasn't invented by Bilibili or AcFun.

Niconico is known as the "birthplace of bullet comments".

Bilibili (Bilibili.com) expanded upon and developed the foundation of Nico Nico Douga. After obtaining business information from ByteDance, Qi Hao further upgraded Bilibili's bullet comment (danmaku) function.

Bullet comments allow viewers to have an immersive interactive experience while watching videos. The virtual interactive feedback gives viewers enough satisfaction, attracting them to seek a sense of identity and belonging while watching videos. This gradually leads to dependence on and usage habits of the relevant video platforms, increasing user stickiness significantly.

This interactive bullet screen feature also encourages video creators and uploaders to upload more videos.

This attracts more people to watch the videos, thus creating a virtuous cycle.

Besides "Empresses in the Palace", there's also "My Love from the Star".

Too many TV stations wanted this drama series, and the offers were all quite high.

The price is basically capped at 50 per episode.

It's not that we can't offer a higher price, but there are relevant regulations and certain policy constraints imposed by the TV station.

If it's broadcast by four satellite TV stations, then it would cost 200 million per episode.

The 30 episodes that were edited out would sell for 6000 million. After deducting the 3000 million cost, the production company, Anfeng, would make a profit of 3000 million.

This price is actually quite good.

In order to secure the first broadcast rights for "My Love from the Star," various television stations offered additional benefits.

Offending either side is not a good idea.

Qi Hao decided to go all the way.

He got Bilibili to pay 5000 million yuan to buy out the online streaming rights to the TV series.

Is 50 million a lot?
Bilibili only spent 20 million yuan to buy out the online streaming rights of "Empresses in the Palace".

It wasn't that Qi Hao intentionally gave up benefits to his wife.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" had exclusive online broadcasting rights, but "My Love from the Star" had both exclusive broadcasting rights and first broadcasting rights.

This is the first broadcast right!
It's broadcast online first, and then sold to TV stations, which means the TV stations are selling it from the second round.

This move left CCTV-8, Dragon TV, and Hunan TV completely dumbfounded.

What's left over from our TV station?

Mad.

Then, I got angry for a little while.

What else can we do?

Qi Hao is no longer someone who can be easily killed by the TV station.

What's more, he also started a research company.

It's attracting a lot of attention from higher authorities now, after all, this tech company is located in the capital.

The premiere of "My Love from the Star" on Bilibili is scheduled for August 25th, which is An Feng's birthday.

This can be considered Qi Hao's birthday gift to An Feng.

Yes, a wedding gift, a birthday gift... a gift given twice, and given in a particularly elegant manner.

There's also the Venice International Film Festival in August.

However, Qi Hao does not plan to premiere "Shoplifters" at the Venice Film Festival.

This year, Marco Müller, a long-time friend of the Chinese people and former president of the Venice International Film Festival, officially retired from the festival, ending his eight-year tenure as its president.

He was succeeded by another Italian film artist, Alberto Barbara, the former president of the Venice International Film Festival.

Alberto Barbara served as president of the Venice International Film Festival from December 1998 to April 2002.

During his tenure, Chinese films had absolutely no chance.

Clearly, the old man had absolutely no interest in Chinese films, and Qi Hao saw no need to risk getting humiliated.

Although the awards are decided by the jury, the attitude of the film festival's management is crucial.

Therefore, Qi Hao decisively gave up the Venice International Film Festival.

Why not try Cannes next year?

Shoplifters won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

If we plan ahead, winning next year's Palme d'Or is not impossible.

All you need to do is find out who the judges will be next year, and then use your financial power to convince them.

In the second half of the year, Qi Hao also registered for the postgraduate entrance examination of Beijing Film Academy.

He has a college diploma and has been working for two years since then, so he should have no problem taking the postgraduate entrance exam.

The Beijing Film Academy naturally welcomed him warmly.

Even if Qi Hao didn't meet the requirements, the Beijing Film Academy would still make an exception and agree to his request.

It's not impossible that Qi Hao would revise the admission brochure.

Such a self-taught actor and director, his very existence serves to highlight the incompetence of formally trained students.

Even if Zhang Yimou, the pride of Beijing Film Academy, teamed up with three or five other top directors, they might not be able to beat Qi Hao at the box office.

Even in terms of acting, few actors from the Beijing Film Academy can beat Qi Hao.

In fact, with Qi Hao's current level, he could easily not only pursue a master's degree, but even teach graduate students.

His teacher will definitely be under a lot of pressure.
