Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 185 - 182: Isn’t This Stealing Business? (Seeking Mo

At half past ten in the evening, Qi Hao left with An Feng.

Of course, they left separately.

Both had been drinking, so they couldn’t drive.

Lately, there had been incidents like Hu Yanbin crashing an SUV into a taxi and then fleeing, only to be caught by the police and given administrative detention. Then there was Zhou Jie, who fled a crash scene too.

This was most likely due to drinking.

If caught, it could be disastrous, possibly leading to six months of detention. If they got away, it might just result in a fine and fifteen days of detention.

Of course, that’s assuming there was no major accident.

Currently, the dia loves to pick on celebrities for things like this, just to see who’s drinking and driving.

Qi Hao and his group generally had assistants or drivers with them.

Those who didn’t would call soone to drive over and pick them up.

Qi Hao asked his driver, Tang Chuan, to take him ho, and Li Xiaong to drive An Feng ho.

An Feng definitely wasn’t going ho with Qi Hao.

Old Tian was still at ho, and even Old Tian wouldn’t bring a woman ho, so Qi Hao couldn’t overstep.

Not to ntion Qi Hao wasn’t interested now, even if he was, it wouldn’t be necessary to think about making moves on a first outing.

Originally, Qi Hao could have arranged for An Feng to be sent ho at nine, but to get back at An Feng’s ddling mother, he intentionally delayed, letting her fret at ho.

Qi Hao didn’t contact An Feng the next day.

He had to shoot so materials for a Passat car ad, and during the break, he confird the concert details with Zhang Nan.

One way or another, he had to complete the task quickly.

The best outco would be to perform the system-rewarded song at the concert of the so-called "original singer."

If not, then find soone who isn’t a close match, buy the rights, and do a cover.

As for singing B singer’s song at A singer’s concert, wouldn’t that be awkward...?

Isn’t that obvious?

Of course, it’s not ideal, but what’s the choice when completing the task is at stake?

At most, he’d emotionally claim to be a fan of whoever, using the stage to pay tribute.

A singer may lose face, but they’d gain attention, so they likely wouldn’t mind, as long as everything’s arranged upfront. If Qi Hao agrees, A singer agrees, who the heck cares about the fans’ opinions?

"Liu Dehua isn’t holding a concert anyti soon."

Zhang Nan stood by Qi Hao, whispering the update.

"Doesn’t he do dozens of concerts a year? Why can’t he do any now? What’s he up to?"

Qi Hao despised such unprofessional singers.

Even if work is just decorating with crap or washing with piss, there’s money to be made.

Nowadays, if singers don’t do concerts, relying on album sales alone would starve them.

"His hidden marriage is about to leak, causing a big fan backlash, making it hard to hold a concert for now."

Zhang Nan couldn’t do much about it. He couldn’t exactly force Liu Dehua to hold a concert.

If my boss wants to see your concert live, could you accommodate?

Qi Hao didn’t have that kind of clout.

Liu Dehua at most would say, then I’ll invite your boss to KTV, if he wants to listen, I’ll sing to him alone.

"What about Chen Yixun?"

No choice, with Liu Dehua unavailable, Qi Hao had to resort to the backup option.

Qi Hao could sing "Ten Years" at Chen Yixun’s concert, preceded by "Ten Years," followed by "Over the Top." Unfortunately, the system didn’t strip Chen Yixun clean, otherwise, taking these two songs would have cut Chen Yixun’s appeal in half.

"He’s acting in a movie called ’Money Empire,’ reportedly playing Zeng Zhiwei’s dad... He won’t be holding a concert soon, and the economic crisis just passed, leaving everyone cautious."

Zhang Nan, a real King of Competition, investigated thoroughly.

Qi Hao asked him to find out who would be holding concerts soon.

Coincidentally, Qi Hao had arranged another outing with An Feng at Jin Dazhou’s studio, and returned late again, so Zhang Nan caught on.

Apparently, he wanted to take An Feng to a concert.

Unfortunately, with neither Liu Dehua nor Chen Yixun holding concerts, Qi Hao’s wooing plan was "severely" impacted.

Actually, Zhang Nan didn’t fully support Qi Hao dating now.

As soone experienced, Zhang Nan had rely married, not living a great life, feeling marriage not only didn’t aid his career but slowed down his progress.

But Zhang Nan wasn’t soone to spoil the mood.

Whether Qi Hao dated or not, it wasn’t for him as the agent to ddle into.

He hadn’t even thought of tripping him up.

"Who’s going to hold a concert in the capital soon, with a bit of fa?" Qi Hao was getting exasperated.

Chen Yixun was just too misguided.

Did he think he was Zhang Xueyou? A good singer going off to act in films.

If he screws it up, people will say he’s off-track.

If he succeeds, they’ll say he’s an actor held back by singing.

Either way, there’s no good end.

"Lately, it’ll be a concert by Wu Bai and another by Sun Yanzi." Zhang Nan had done comprehensive research.

He opened his work notebook and handed it to Qi Hao.

There were all the celebrities planning concerts in the second half of the year, with uncertain dates marked as pending.

Clearly, it was a task that took considerable effort to compile.

"Sun Yanzi?"

Qi Hao’s eyes lit up.

Actually, he wanted more to attend Wu Bai’s concert. Wu Bai’s concerts were always lively.

He liked Wu Bai’s songs very much too.

However, the damn system required Qi Hao to sing the songs rewarded by the system at the concert.

This was hard to achieve.

Qi Hao didn’t have any relationship with Wu Bai, and Wu Bai didn’t need Qi Hao to bring him any popularity. Most likely, they would reject Qi Hao.

Sun Yanzi was different.

The system had rewarded a song called "Green Light," which happened to be included in Sun Yanzi’s third album "Kite," released by Warner Music on July 12, 2001.

If Qi Hao could be a guest perforr, he would sing "Green Light."

It would be reasonable and flawless.

"Yes, Sun Yanzi will hold a concert at Beijing Workers’ Stadium next Saturday. She will hold eight concerts in Huaxia, all part of her 13-show world tour. If you want to go, I’ll get you a ticket as soon as possible..."

Zhang Nan briefly introduced.

Buying tickets through official channels was impossible, even though Sun Yanzi was occasionally teased as a niche singer, ordinary people couldn’t just buy tickets easily.

Even for Zhang Nan, if he didn’t contact the organizer, he would likely have to reach out to those omnipresent scalpers.

"Alright, get one ticket, please."

Qi Hao was very satisfied with Zhang Nan’s work capability.

"One ticket?"

Zhang Nan was slightly surprised. Wasn’t it as he thought, that Qi Hao wanted to invite An Feng to the concert live?

Then why go through all this trouble?

"Oh... two tickets, make it two." Qi Hao also realized this, so he decided to invite An Feng to a concert.

Two birds with one stone, completing the task and dating.

"No problem, I ensure they will be very good seats. Now, do you want to go low-key, or don’t mind if people take photos?"

Zhang Nan asked thoughtfully about Qi Hao’s dating details.

"Uh... I want to be a guest perforr and go on stage once to sing that song ’Green Light.’

Qi Hao almost forgot that just attending the concert wasn’t enough; he also had to sing the songs rewarded by the system.

Indeed, beauty misleads people.

He had just been thinking about giving the extra ticket to An Feng, almost forgetting there was proper business to handle.

"Huh?" Zhang Nan was full of question marks.

Was he too dull or too old-fashioned? He couldn’t quite understand Qi Hao’s reasoning for doing this.

"I might also hold a concert later, so I can experience the atmosphere by going on stage once."

Now that he often had to make up reasons, Qi Hao had gotten used to it.

"Got it, as a guest perforr, do you intend to only sing ’Green Light,’ or is it okay to sing two or three songs, or even accept a duet with Sun Yanzi?"

Zhang Nan had to clarify with Qi Hao, given the detailed information he gathered from outside; otherwise, it would be difficult to negotiate cooperation.

"Uh, anything works, but it’s best to submit the program format to first. I might need to practice the songs."

Since Qi Hao initiated this cooperation, he would be willing to make concessions in so areas to ensure it succeeded.

"I understand, I’ll contact them right away!"

The concert is next Saturday, the schedule is tight and the task is heavy. Zhang Nan didn’t want to delay at all.

"Thanks, work hard, and then..."

Qi Hao casually promised a big future reward.

"Then find a sister-in-law, right? I get it..." Zhang Nan was about to leave, but quickly returned to squat beside Qi Hao and whispered, "There’s also a matter that needs your decision. SAIC asked us if we would be willing to exchange that Santana 2000 for the latest top-of-the-line Passat. They’re willing to custom make it for us."

SAIC invited Qi Hao to endorse the Passat.

But Qi Hao’s personal car was a Santana 2000; though Santana 2000 was also from their brand, it felt sowhat inadequate.

Thus, they considered giving Qi Hao a car.

"No change. If they insist on giving, I can use both cars, but not using the Santana 2000 anymore isn’t happening."

Qi Hao refused the offer without hesitation.

"Is that Santana 2000? It’s my lifeline."

"Okay, I’ll discuss with them later. Such car endorsents don’t require us to use the endorsed model."

There are plenty of celebrities endorsing ordinary brands and models, yet they still use business cars, nanny cars, and various luxury cars for travel.

"This is minor business; the crucial thing is the concert."

Qi Hao was worried about unexpected issues, as he just checked the concert list Zhang Nan provided, and Sun Yanzi was the only suitable one. If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn’t get another.

As a matter of fact, sothing unexpected indeed happened.

The concert organizer received a call from Zhang Nan, who ntioned he wanted to "buy" two good-seated tickets, and Qi Hao was bringing a friend to the live concert.

They took it very seriously.

Major concerts usually reserve so of the best seats to arrange for important persons who join last-minute.

Qi Hao was undoubtedly an important person.

Though Sun Yanzi from Singapore might not be familiar with Qi Hao’s current status, the organizers were all from Huaxia.

So far, they hadn’t heard of Qi Hao attending anyone’s concerts before.

For Sun Yanzi now, Qi Hao’s attendance was definitely a godsend for gaining popularity.

However, Zhang Nan’s second request left them unable to decide.

For next Saturday’s concert, Sun Yanzi had already invited her good friend Han Hong as a guest perforr.

Isn’t that competing for the role?
