Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 209 - 206 Looks Good but Useless! (Request for Month

Ms. Liu actually didn’t think much of it.

If the young girls went out to the night market and ca back depressed, that would be the strange thing.

Moreover, her daughter only slled of food, with no scent of alcohol or smoke from night venues, so there was nothing much to worry about.

As for Qi Hao, no one would really pay attention to him.

After taking a shower, he lay down on the bed and picked up a book to read.

The book was called "Heart is a Lonely Hunter", a novel exploring loneliness and self-redemption.

"Uncle" is an action film, which might touch upon the good and evil in human nature, sacrifice and redemption, but Qi Hao didn’t intend to imbue it with profound thes, nor shoot it as an art film like "Full-ti Killer".

However, to make it exciting, the roles themselves had to be perford properly.

The male lead is a lonely person.

How to portray this loneliness is what Qi Hao, as the lead, has to do.

He is the director himself, and no one teaches him how to do it.

Qi Hao must take it on himself.

"Sigh..."

After reading for a while, Qi Hao threw the book onto the bedside table.

He had a photographic mory, but just rembering wasn’t enough; what he saw had to be understood as well. Now he felt a bit irritable, so it wasn’t fit for continuing to read.

Mainly, he was a bit puzzled.

He had just taken a shower, starting from his head down, using the hotel’s own toiletries. By all accounts, he should have been clean.

But for so reason, he always felt a faint fragrance lingering around him.

This scent was very familiar; it was the scent coming from An Feng.

It really didn’t make any sense.

As early as 2004, when Qi Hao collaborated with An Feng, he could catch the scent on her.

Sotis it was the sll of perfu, sotis a milky scent.

Back then, An Feng was seventeen and still often drank milk, calcium milk, cow milk, yogurt, milk powder... She seed especially fond of dairy products.

However, those scents were generally faint and were hard to catch within the complex environnt of the set, normally disappearing after a shower for Qi Hao.

Just like when he first debuted, his costus had a particularly unpleasant sll, and no matter how tired he was, he had to take a shower before he could sleep after getting ho from work.

What exactly was the problem?

Qi Hao saw the black bear plush lying on the bed, picked it up, and sniffed it. There was no scent on it.

After all, An Feng had never touched the black bear plush throughout.

Over here, many of the night market items were made dostically, and the shooting booths had high single-consumption costs, so the prizes given were of good quality.

Qi Hao didn’t know when he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he saw the face of a black bear close to his face. Fortunately, with years of rearing Ao Bai, he wasn’t startled.

At this ti, An Feng was still asleep.

The clamor of the city morning was shut out by the windows, and she seed to be dreaming, with a smile on her face.

Her sleeping posture wasn’t ugly, but neither was it dignified; the pink little pig was not only pressed under her chest but also had to bear the weight of one of her legs.

It looked quite aggrieved.

During the day, Qi Hao t with so actors, and more importantly, t the martial arts choreographer recomnded by Ye Weimin.

Qi Hao had very high expectations for martial arts choreography.

After listing a bunch of conditions, Ye Weimin finally selected a candidate after so comparisons and analysis.

However, although Ye Weimin picked soone on his side, that person might not have the schedule free.

Therefore, Qi Hao needed to personally negotiate.

"As long as it’s settled, you’ll be satisfied."

Just as Ye Weimin was speaking, the action choreographer he found for Qi Hao also arrived at the restaurant.

"Mr. Qi."

The visitor was Li Zhongzhi. He wasn’t unfamiliar with Qi Hao but had never collaborated with him.

"Please have a seat, Zhi!"

After ordering food, they started talking while drinking.

In fact, Li Zhongzhi was from the Cheng Family Class. He joined "Cheng Family Class" at the end of the 1980s, and since 2003, he had started attempting to develop his own career as an independent action choreographer.

"New Police Story" and "Taking the Command" both had action design completed by Li Zhongzhi.

For "New Police Story", Li Zhongzhi won the "Golden Horse Award for Best Choreography", which made him famous in the film industry.

In recent years, following the aging of Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao, and others, Li Zhongzhi has beco a mainstay in the Chinese film industry’s action choreography scene.

Now, many want him as their action choreographer.

"Ren Dahua and An Zhijie fild ’Massacre’ in the first half of the year, and I was the action director for that."

"I asked Ye to recomnd a top-notch action choreographer for , and without hesitation, he recomnded you. When Wu Jing heard that I was going to film an action movie, he also highly recomnded you, saying your action designs are very innovative."

This was sowhat true and sowhat false from Qi Hao.

Li Zhongzhi was recomnded by Ye Weimin, but Qi Hao knew of several collaborations between Wu Jing and him and called Wu Jing to ask about him.

Wu Jing wasn’t the one who took the initiative to recomnd.

"Did he tell you that I’ll be joining the group for ’West Wind Fierce’ in October? And I’ll be entering the group for ’Let the Bullets Fly’ in December as well? That’s already been set."

Li Zhongzhi wasn’t unwilling to collaborate, but his schedule for the latter half of the year was really tight.

"My shooting for ’Uncle’ begins in early September, the tiline should work. I’m friends with Gao Qunshu and Jiang Wen, so we can coordinate and fit in so ti, it can definitely be done."

For the film "Uncle", Qi Hao’s filming schedule is planned to take about two months.

"You guys can negotiate, but dealing with three movies all at once is going to kill ."

Although Li Zhongzhi had a mournful expression, he was truly in high spirits.

Back in the Cheng Family Class days, he was just a small fry.

It took almost ten years to be able to work together with others as an action director, and now, more than twenty years later, he’s finally made a na for himself.

Even the newly rising Qi Hao from the mainland ca to hire him.

It’s really a great honor.

"Brother Zhi, please help out, without you, this film really can’t be done."

Qi Hao was just spouting nonsense now.

But who doesn’t like hearing such words?

Li Zhongzhi felt a surge of enthusiasm, temporarily forgetting even his own surna.

"Qi Hao is now making films on his own, at least three per year. I’m just tagging along with him. Old Li, you should really consider it."

Ye Weimin was chiming in from the side.

Luckily, Li Zhongzhi was an action director, and other than co-directing "Wolf Fang" with Wu Jing, he had no other directorial ambitions, thus posing no competitive threat.

Otherwise, Ye Weimin definitely wouldn’t dare let these two et.

There wouldn’t be anything left for him.

"Alright, I’ll take this job."

Li Zhongzhi realized that Qi Hao was really powerful now, having the backing of the Coal Boss, with a personal stake in Penguin worth over a billion.

"This film of mine is about..."

Qi Hao imdiately explained the film’s plot and action style to Li Zhongzhi, hoping he would give more focus to his film.

"West Wind Fierce," whatever, just do it casually.

But "Let the Bullets Fly," with Feiyang dia having half the stakes, can have more effort put into it.

Apart from Li Zhongzhi, the martial arts team also has deputy action directors Feng Bufan and Lin Feng.

Feng Bufan is an "expert" that Qi Hao invited, hoping he could bring so inspiration and novelty to the martial arts team.

Lin Feng was a professional martial artist before, joining Xiangjiang’s action director team in the early 90s, beginning his martial artist career.

He was a deputy martial arts director for Li Yapeng’s version of "Swordsman," Hu Jun’s version of "Heavenly Dragon Eight Books," and Qi Hao and An Feng’s version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

Upon hearing that Qi Hao was doing an action film, he volunteered to join the martial arts team.

After all, they had cooperated before, and it was rather pleasant.

Qi Hao invited him in.

Lunch was with Li Zhongzhi, and in the evening, Qi Hao t with Lin Jianyue.

Lin Jianyue even brought his son and daughter.

Actually, eting Lin Jianyue wasn’t easy for Qi Hao, as movies were only a part of Huanyi’s operations, and such small-scale movie investnts don’t typically require a big shot like him.

In the current Xiangjiang movie circle, he and Yang Shoucheng are the top big shots.

Since the fallout with Xing and Galaxy Image becoming independent, Xiang Huaqiang is not doing well.

Lin Jianyue was mainly showing face to Ren Dahua.

Additionally, his children were about the sa age as Qi Hao, and he thought of introducing them to the young talents from the mainland.

His son Lin Xiaoxian is the eldest, born in 1981 like Qi Hao. He graduated from Boston University in 2003 and returned to Hong Kong to learn from his father about managing family affairs, considered the third-generation successor of the Lin Family.

His daughter Lin Tian’Er is three years younger than Qi Hao, but as a wealthy heiress, with her outstanding appearance and her father’s constant scandals, the dia is more interested in her private life than her career and work abilities.

Qi Hao didn’t expect Lin Jianyue to bring family along.

Ren Dahua also brought his wife Su Xiaoqi.

If he had known earlier...

Well, no matter how much he knew earlier, he couldn’t bring any family.

Both sides exchanged pleasantries and took their seats.

This evening’s al was different from lunch.

Qi Hao, Ye Weimin, Li Zhongzhi — although they’re not all rough-around-the-edges, they’re generally not very particular people; eat well, drink well, chat well, and it’s all good.

The evening al reflected the full elegance of Xiangjiang’s top celebrities.

Even the venue was a luxurious restaurant arranged by Lin Jianyue, the kind where ordinary people might not even get in.

Thankfully, Qi Hao was well-versed.

Plus, being a top mainland idol, Golden Rooster Best Actor, and being enveloped by the aura of a billion-dollar-plus worth at such a young age, no one looks down on him.

Lin Xiaoxian is a typical playboy.

There were many female stars rumored to be involved with him, even Jiao was once among his conquests.

He loves to go nightclubbing with friends to relax and de-stress. To make partying more open, and for convenient venue booking for parties, in 2006 he invested and beca a shareholder in the new club M1NT.

He initially thought Qi Hao was a famous mainland playboy, thinking they would share a lot in common, but found Qi Hao quite unimpressive.

Looks good but useless!

However, since Qi Hao was his father’s guest, he dared not mock him in front of his father.

His sister Lin Tian’Er, on the other hand, was quite interested in Qi Hao, chatted for a while, and inquired quite a bit about Qi Hao.

Yet, upon realizing all Qi Hao’s so-called investnts relied on luck.

Moreover, Qi Hao is ultimately a mainlander, and such top-notch socialites rarely marry into the mainland.

She lost interest.

After so ti, business was finally discussed at the table.

Lin Jianyue easily agreed to the collaboration.
