Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 229 - 226: If there's no opportunity, create one! (R

"Alright, we'll take out a loan to buy the office building, and use the remaining money to expand the territory. Everyone, when the company goes public, you'll all be handsoly rewarded!"

Don't underestimate the developer's internal price.

If the market price is 30,000 per square ter, the internal price might be 28,000 per square ter. With Gao Yang's indulgence towards Gao Fei, even 25,000 per square ter isn't impossible.

For an office space of ten thousand square ters, this difference could an a 50 million advantage.

Since there's a bargain to be had from Gao Yang, Qi Hao can only reluctantly decide to buy a building.

With the economy's growth montum being so good now, housing prices definitely won't stagnate.

anwhile, Qi Hao doesn't forget to paint a big picture for the employees.

You cry, I shout, together we'll be the bosses.

It's just not happening now; we're just at the start, and all of Zhonghao Entertainnt's funds were transferred from Donghao Venture Capital.

Currently, the equity structure is Donghao Venture Capital — Zhonghao Entertainnt — Qi Hao Studio.

"Long live the boss! Can we get a bonus this ti? Mid-Autumn Festival can't just be about mooncakes."

This life of exhausting work, yet not even having dirt to eat, is truly captivating.

Zhanqi Laiden, who belongs to the top salary rank in the company, still finds it insufficient to spend.

There are too many things in this world that are hard to accept.

With a little money in hand, the idea is to hire so online trolls to set the tone.

"Sure, sure, there will definitely be bonuses."

If Qi Hao gets to eat at, his brothers won't be left behind either.

"Old Deng, where has all your money gone? Don't emulate that Daoist Suiyun, stepping into a foot-massage place only to lose interest in all else."

Senior Legal Affairs Yao Weihong warns Zhanqi Laiden with an air of an experienced elder.

"Ugh, you perverted old man!"

Zhanqi Laiden despises foot massage places, finding them utterly low-brow and dull.

"Alright everyone, I'll put together a bonus plan later, which will be the boss's Mid-Autumn Festival gift to everyone. Everyone in the company will get a share, so let's work hard and stay in line..."

Old Tian seized the chance to rally the team.

Suddenly, everyone seed to be fired up.

While the boss's stocks are valuable, they belong to soone else.

Even Mrs. Hua's clunky operation has a market value nearing 20 billion.

As long as everyone works hard, Zhonghao Entertainnt might not be worse off than Mrs. Hua.

Even Senior Legal Affairs Yao Hongwei feels he can't afford to slack off anymore. Earning more to upgrade the family ho would be nice.

However, as the company's legal affairs officer, it's rare for him to have opportunities to shine.

It seems he must achieve sothing noteworthy.

No opportunity?

If there's no opportunity, create one!

There are always people the boss doesn't like. Now in a law-abiding society, you can't just go up and slash them; this is when folks like them step up to construct... oh no, to uphold justice.

Mrs. Hua's matter has reached a conclusion.

The 350 million won't arrive so quickly, so for now, it's just talk.

Everyone still needs to do their jobs.

This ti, Qi Hao assigned the film editing and directing work to Lu Yang, for him to work with the editor on post-production, giving Qi Hao a temporary break.

He outlined the plan for the ti ahead.

Yes, one is to study foreign languages well, and the other is to have a proper romance.

Regarding learning foreign languages, Qi Hao found a trick.

While his photographic mory doesn't translate to auditory mory, he can learn languages by watching movies.

The effect isn't as good as reading books, but he rembers it quite fast.

As for romance, Qi Hao feels sowhat guilty.

He made so moves initially, went on a few dates, but then quickly entered the crew of "Uncle," followed by intensive shooting schedules.

Sparing no ti for dating.

An Feng also went off on her travels, still not back.

With old vines, ancient trees, and crows falling asleep, love dazzles one's eyes.

This can't go on any longer.

Given enough ti, he's worried no sparks will fly, and the relationship will fade into a sibling one.

His love life would beco like this winter—bound to grow cold eventually.

As it neared the end of the workday, Qi Hao suddenly received a system prompt.

It was so abrupt, he almost ran into the glass door.

[Main Quest Activation]

[Main Quest 2: In today's entertainnt industry, the title of Best Actor is not only a recognition of an actor's skill, but also an expectation of their diverse performances in films. With the system's help, the host's career has seen a leap forward. It's ti to win a Best Actor award. Quest Difficulty: Five stars, Ti Limit: 36 months]

[Quest Completion Reward: Stamina 10, Script "Hurricane Rescue 123," 500,000 shares of Apple stock]

Main Quest!

The previous main quest was completed not too long ago, but at that ti, Main Quest 2 wasn't released imdiately.

He thought a new main quest wouldn't co anyti soon.

Especially on October 28, Qi Hao waited for a long ti without the system issuing any task.

Unexpectedly, the quest was released after Mrs. Hua's stock went public.

Could it be that Mrs. Hua has so sort of destined attribute?

Is this clunky company's listing worthy of a main quest release?

However, Qi Hao soon figured it out.

Money!

He now has 3.5 billion.

Evidently, he t so kind of criteria, triggering the quest.

Though it's unclear whether the threshold was 1 billion, 2 billion, or 3 billion, it doesn't matter now.

Win a Best Actor award!

That damned system's slower than catching dung while it's still warm. It's not like he hasn't won Best Actor before.

Too bad the previous wins don't count, so he has to win another.

"First Love, This Little Thing" and "Uncle" both seem unlikely for a Best Actor win, since they're both comrcial films.

So, Qi Hao still needs to find a way to make another art film.

The task deadline is 36 months, which is three years. Winning an acting award is effortless.

Moreover, Qi Hao realized that the main tasks aren't released annually, so he's not in such a rush to complete those tasks.

At least he won't be waving cash around to buy scripts at high prices anymore.

People who are experienced know not to drive up script fees, and the script market needs to cool down.

The high-priced scripts before were to establish a reputation.

Now that the reputation is established, the high prices won't be necessary.

Just like Shang Yang's moving the pole to establish credibility, you only need to do it once; who would do it all the ti?

As for the 500,000 shares of Apple.

At a unit price of 200 US dollars per share, that's directly 685 million RMB.

Qi Hao felt a bit embarrassed. Is he too aweso?

With such a strong asset base, will he get extorted by corrupt officials, kidnapped like Zhang Ziqiang, seduced by beautiful won, or worse...?

It really feels unsafe.

No, I have to increase the number of bodyguards.

Feng Bufan is pretty good. Although he's a bit la and a bit ugly, his skills are excellent and not just for show. The scars on his face can be covered with longer hair.

Giving him a job wouldn't be bad either.

Keeping such a person around might co in handy at a critical mont.

And Qi Hao is just paying a few thousand a month for that, compared to his over two billion worth, it's nothing.

It's like giving out Mid-Autumn festival bonuses to the company's employees.

So get tens of thousands, and so get at least a few thousand.

It seems like an insignificant expense, but actually, it greatly boosts employee morale.

Sharpening the knife won't delay the work of chopping wood; eat well before you start working.

Making sure the company workers live well doesn't cost Qi Hao much.

Who doesn't like a generous boss?

Now that Qi Hao is so wealthy, he could just stop making films altogether.

Exiting the entertainnt industry wouldn't be an issue.

But he definitely won't do that now.

For one thing, the system is a "Superstar" system, and all the tasks are related to the entertainnt industry. How can he continue the tasks without it?

On the other hand, Qi Hao isn't even thirty yet. What would he do if he retired now?

Join the old ladies dancing in the square or play chess with the old n?

Twenty's the age of confusion, thirty's just a start, Qi Hao is stuck in the middle, perplexed.

Or spend every day with a woman at ho trying to produce offspring.

Who in the world isn't a bit ambitious?

Qi Hao doesn't just want to be wealthy; he wants to have a strong voice in his field.

Take "Lost on Journey" for example, this is the movie Qi Hao has high hopes for.

However, the screenings it got were pitifully few.

This Spring Festival season, there's Jas Caron's "Avatar," Fang Long's "Neighborhood Spy" and "Big Soldiers and Little Generals," Zhou Ruifa's "Confucius," Zhen Zidan's "Jinyi Guard"...

I've heard Liu Dehua's "Future Policeman" and Liu Zhenwei's "Ti Traveler's Treasure Box" also want a spot.

Compared to these, "Lost on Journey," starring Qi Hao and Wang Baoqiang, is nothing.

Hoping for a high number of screenings is just a dream.

Regarding this, Qi Hao is helpless.

Seek help from Mrs. Hua?

That's nonsense; Mrs. Hua and Qi Hao have cut ties, and the Wang Brothers not causing trouble for Qi Hao would be a blessing.

Seek help from Han Sanping?

Why would Qi Hao get any more screenings? The other competitors also probably give bribes to that old man.

Visit each cinema chain individually?

He just said he doesn't want to bow down, doesn't want to get drunk one glass after another at social dinners.

He still doesn't want to now.

Anyway, he's got plenty of money; if the box office isn't great, it's no big deal.

Qi Hao has been motivating his employees to work hard, mostly due to the poor screening situation.

Whether it's distribution or theaters, he wants to have a hand in it.

If worst cos to worst, just take a loan from the bank.

The damn system isn't helping here either, why can't it give so bank stocks? If he beca a bank shareholder, the loan amounts and interest rates should be more flexible.

Also, Han Sanping will retire in a few years.

If the entertainnt industry doesn't have a major figure backing it, it might decline quickly.

If the system could be more supportive, maybe its host could beco the next big player in the entertainnt industry.

Then, you'd be the system of the big player.

After learning a bit of a foreign language from a couple of foreigners, Qi Hao finally got to et An Feng, who returned from out of town.

No choice, without An Feng back, he has no one to date.

As soon as An Feng returned, Qi Hao started asking her out.

Seize the monts of joy in life, have a romance before getting back to work.

"Mom, I'm going to visit the 'Kuiba' set with Gao Fei tomorrow, do you want to co?"

After hanging up Qi Hao's call, An Feng asked her mom.

"No, no, you rember to take Xiaomin and the others with you. If you co back late at night, rember to call ."

Ms. Liu seed in a very bad mood.

In fact, while she was traveling with her daughter, her daughter had a great ti, but she just couldn't get in the mood.

It mainly stems from the recent plumt in the stocks she'd bought.

Apart from the ones bought following Qi Hao that continued to rise, the other stocks that were originally doing well suddenly plumted.

She hesitated to sell, and as they continued to fall, she beca even more reluctant.

The over two million she previously earned vanished entirely, and she lost quite a bit of the initial five million as well.
