Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 343 - 339: The Hottest Child Star of the Year

"Deng, aren't you being a bit too cruel? Killing soone is just a matter of one swift move, you might as well have killed him."

Qi Hao was not actually speaking up for Lu Sang.

After all, he was the one behind the scenes.

He personally issued instructions to Zhanqi Laiden, telling him to deal with Lu Sang, and if he wasn't dead, then make him wish he was.

Until this pest was completely stomped out.

Qi Hao just felt a bit sentintal. If Lu Sang gets out again this ti and can still maintain his sanity, then you've got to admire this guy's nerve and psychological resilience.

Taking a hit on the 'chicken dinner' issue repeatedly, he likely has so psychological trauma now.

Forget about 'chicken dinner', even playing with won might not excite him anymore.

He would always feel unsafe.

At the slightest sound, he'd imdiately pull up his pants and rush to the window to jump out.

According to insiders, on the day Lu Sang was busted for prostitution, he almost escaped. He opened the window and found, dammit, it was fitted with bars.

Otherwise, he could have jumped onto the air conditioning unit like Fang Long, and then slowly, floor by floor, jumped down from the eighteenth floor to the ground.

Finally leaving gracefully, keeping his achievents and fa hidden.

"I did want to kill him, but unfortunately... I couldn't think of a way to get away with it scot-free."

Zhanqi Laiden seed a bit regretful.

"Damn, what have you been up to recently?"

This guy is just an unstable factor, he really has the idea of resolving issues physically.

The most effective PR is to make the person disappear.

It's sowhat absurd.

"Didn't do much, aside from Zhao Yanzi, I just ssed with Mrs. Hua a bit. Their shareholders were hiking stock prices to cash out, and I caught them by the tail..."

Zhanqi Laiden has a significant amount of autonomy.

The few marketing companies secretly controlled by Qi Hao rarely find themselves without work.

They not only serve Qi Hao's circle but also take on outside jobs, even doing so free work that they are interested in.

After all, it's better than being idle.

"Routine operations."

Qi Hao knows the Wang Brothers all too well.

Unlike other companies aiming to grow big and strong for a public listing, they're blatantly listing to fleece investors and have even roped in a bunch of capital experts in fleecing to join the ga.

Buying stocks from Mrs. Hua is either blind luck or nine generations of bad luck.

"So they were summoned for talks, and they'll probably be fined afterward. When the ti cos, let's give them a free publicity package."

Zhanqi Laiden was very considerate.

This way, Mrs. Hua could see her stock price plunge a few more limits down.

ssing with Mrs. Hua was simple. First, she and Qi Hao were at odds, which was already a cardinal sin; second, she and An Feng were at odds, and she's the boss's wife; third, two tigers can't share one mountain, Zhonghao and Mrs. Hua were bound to clash sooner or later, so why not strike preemptively?

Mrs. Hua hasn't held back in slandering Zhonghao.

Recently, many articles surfaced claiming Qi Hao and An Feng were stirring up fake controversies for movies, spreading baseless gossip, and most of these articles were bought by Mrs. Hua's crowd.

Mrs. Hua was definitely the biggest buyer.

So orders even ca to Zhanqi Laiden's marketing company, which Qi Hao secretly controlled.

"As for Mrs. Hua, you should conduct audits focusing on tax issues, but this will involve many people's interests, so it's best not to expose us, to avoid being 'suicided' by soone."

Qi Hao offered another perspective to Zhanqi Laiden.

He's an actor, very knowledgeable about many things in the industry.

So might think everyone plays this way.

Industry rules.

But just because everyone does it doesn't make it right, playing in the dark eventually brings trouble.

Last ti, he kindly reminded Fan Xuexue.

Whether Fan Xuexue listened or not, he wasn't sure.

She doesn't seem like a good person either.

"Alright, I'll secretly get soone to investigate, and when the ti is ripe, expose them."

Zhanqi Laiden understood perfectly.

"This ti, a lot of people suspect us after striking at Zhao Yanzi, be careful not to link us together."

Qi Hao has always been cautious.

If his power wasn't what it is today, he probably wouldn't ddle in such affairs.

When in power, benefit the world; when powerless, maintain oneself.

Now he's no longer powerless.

"Don't worry about my work, and we often help others with things, creating diversions everywhere."

Zhanqi Laiden was quite shady.

He's got multiple layers of protection, even connections with Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan's part of the third generation, most matters aren't really matters for him.

"Oh, right, help design so stories for 'Kuiba,' to use when promoting later."

Qi Hao didn't have much hope for the box office of 'Kuiba,' but since it's West Hao Film Industry's first animated movie, having no box office returns at all would still be a big blow to everyone.

"Sure, this is what I'm best at."

Zhanqi Laiden was very straightforward, not to prove how outstanding he was, but to let the boss know that he could not only do bad things but also good ones.

Qi Hao and Zhanqi Laiden discussed so issues related to movie promotion.

"Boss, making a movie achieve an 800 million box office in this market environnt, your and the boss lady's official announcent is definitely the best in film promotion history."

People say he's a genius in promotion and public relations.

But Zhanqi Laiden didn't boast in front of the boss at all.

After all, even if it exhausted him, forced him to abandon law and morality, he couldn't push the box office of "Those Years" to 800 million, but the boss did it.

It was just about falling in love.

Zhanqi Laiden painfully realized that so things in this world are truly absurd and unreasonable.

"That's an exception; ultimately, it's about strength. Look at the box office of 'Uncle,' it probably won't even reach 300 million."

"Uncle," before National Day, had already surpassed 100 million, and after the National Day box office surge, it successfully reached 220 million.

But now the National Day is over, and the box office increase imdiately dropped.

Piracy online and offline is rampant.

There's not even any need to extend this movie.

"Boss, you're really flying high now. A film with a budget of twenty to thirty million achieving a box office of 300 million, yet you still find the box office not good."

Zhanqi Laiden was infuriated.

As long as it's not compared with "Those Years," "Uncle" is the most outstanding comrcial film.

Firstly, the plot is already quite good within the action genre.

Though it resembles movies like "Hurricane Rescue," "This Killer Is Not So Cold," "Rage Rescue," it has its own unique style and features.

If anyone were to compile such films in the future, "Uncle" would surely be listed.

Then, the action scenes are very captivating.

In action movies, whether effort is made or not can be seen at a glance.

After all, so many classic Xiangjiang action movies are out there.

Audiences' tastes have been spoiled.

This year, two movies with great action scenes are "Sword Rain" and "Uncle."

Conversely, the action scenes in Xu Ke's "Heaven-Reaching Empire" were disappointing.

They felt below Old Monster Xu's usual standards.

Qi Hao enlisted Li Zhongzhi, Feng Bufan, and Lin Feng, pouring a lot into action design.

Though he is a billionaire, he didn't cut corners and demonstrated the spirit of a top-tier martial artist.

Moreover, the casting choices were very good.

From Xiangjiang, Ren Dahua and An Zhijie were excellent actors; from the mainland, Qi Hao, Song Jia, Zhao Jinmai all fit their roles well.

If we talk about film dividends, Ren Dahua and Qi Hao naturally wouldn't get much; they've hit their career ceiling and breaking through is not easy.

The real beneficiaries are An Zhijie, Song Jia, Zhao Jinmai.

An Zhijie participating in mainland films and receiving positive response makes it easier for him to get mainland projects.

If a martial arts star is needed, he's likely to be the first choice.

After all, Li Lianjie and Fang Long are astronomically priced, and can't perform intense actions anymore; Zhen Zidan is also exorbitantly expensive.

Song Jia's collaboration with Qi Hao and her broadening of her acting range is very beneficial for her future developnt.

The biggest benefit was gained by Zhao Jinmai.

"Uncle" for her was both a debut and a representative piece.

Her performance in the movie was incredibly lively, instantly capturing thousands of viewers and becoming a very popular child star.

She is arguably the most popular child star of the year.

She stands on par with Zhang Zifeng, who recently beca famous because of "Tangshan Earthquake."

"Uncle's" box office was not as good as "Tangshan Earthquake," but Zhao Jinmai had far more scenes in "Uncle" than Zhang Zifeng did in "Great Earthquake."

Zhang Zifeng's role was small, portraying the younger version of the second female lead.

While Zhao Jinmai was undoubtedly the first female lead.

Of course, for Zhao Jinmai, this might not be entirely good.

Such a high starting point might require a lot of effort in the future to surpass her own achievents and break the fixed image audiences have of her.

Like Yang Mi stuck at her peak in "Martial Arts Champion Su Qie'Er," it's awkward.

Alright, that's a joke.

For child stars, they still have to pray they won't grow up awkwardly.

But this thing can't be prevented at all.

The lead of "Ho Alone," Macaulay Culkin shocked the world, with no trace of the angelic looks from childhood.

Then there's Jin Ming, the grown-up Jin Ming can't be said to be ugly, but she's far from her youthful charm.

Shirley Temple when grown up, completely lost connection with her childhood look.

Sugiyama Risa hadn't even grown up before she was out of shape.

Child stars like Zhao Jinmai, who haven't settled into their looks, can only pray.

If they do grow awkwardly, even if they want to pursue an acting faction path, audiences will still view them with old prejudiced views.
