Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 390 - 383: Is His Dao Heart Still Steady?

When Qi Hao and An Feng arrived in Thailand, soone was directly sent to the airport to pick them up.

It took several cars to pick up the two of them.

There’s no other way, there were just too many bodyguards.

These bodyguards would accompany Qi Hao and An Feng on their trip, and once they’ve had their fun, they’d head straight into the "Lost on Journey 2: Thailand" film crew.

In Bangkok, they checked out buildings, wandered around markets, and tasted Thai cuisine.

Whether it’s Thai cuisine or Thai snacks, they were edible and much better than those in India.

Even with an iron stomach, Qi Hao didn’t dare to try Indian street food.

It’s practically anti-human stuff.

Shopping and night markets were also the most visited spots.

Then they went to Pattaya, watched a ladyboy show, went diving...

There are two kinds of ladyboy shows, one for decent people and one for not-so-decent people.

Qi Hao certainly wouldn’t take An Feng to see the indecent one.

Better not to pollute his wife’s eyes.

It probably goes with the saying, being with soone you like makes even having rough tis feel happy, so their journey was quite pleasant.

Their trip was unlike those who rush to visit many places.

They were just there for a vacation.

Resting was the priority.

Sotis they would play all day, and sotis they wouldn’t even leave the door for a whole day.

Even though their movie was a hit in Thailand, not many people could recognize them, so they could wander around like two street drifters.

They even joined a local bonfire dance party.

The main reason was that An Feng was a little drunk at the ti, and just happened to pass by so he went over to join in.

So people get drunk and indulge in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, while others sing and dance.

Dancing is simply a very rare experience.

If Ms. Liu had accompanied her on the trip, An Feng wouldn’t dare get so close to crowds of local people.

It’s simply not safe.

But traveling with Qi Hao felt very safe.

If they planned a destination in advance, a group would be sent to scout the terrain and situation first.

A group consists of seven, the number a fully loaded business vehicle can accommodate.

On the way there, soone would also protect them nearby.

The nearby ones are core bodyguards, ensuring Qi Hao and An Feng never find themselves alone in a strange vehicle.

They usually use their own transportation.

Besides the close-protection group, two other groups would travel in two to three business cars, surrounding them from the front and back.

There would also be staff staying in the hotel.

Counting it all, around twenty to thirty people were protecting Qi Hao’s safety.

This is the benefit of running a film production company.

For ordinary tycoons, raising so many bodyguards is very conspicuous, and it’s not easy to arrange them casually.

However, Qi Hao’s film company had signed many both in front and behind the scenes.

To deal with the action scenes in films and TV shows, Feng Bufan organized a Qi Family Class under Zhonghao Entertainnt.

Zhonghao Entertainnt has incredible influence.

Many martial arts directors from the mainland ca seeking shelter, nowadays, it’s hard for martial arts directors to thrive without strong backing.

Plus, Tang Chuan’s comrades, and Feng Bufan’s friends.

Besides professional martial arts directors, Zhonghao Entertainnt also signed contracts with several martial arts schools.

Each year, they recruit so outstanding graduates from these schools.

In addition to the martial arts group, there is also a logistics group, making up about a hundred people in the Qi Family Class.

Now they are not only making films for Zhonghao Entertainnt but even have the capacity to offer their services externally.

Sending out twenty to thirty elites to protect the boss is practically effortless.

But privacy is not sothing they can maintain.

Wanting a simple world for two is almost impossible.

Luckily, both are celebrities, always surrounded by agents, assistants, bodyguards, drivers, and so on. They are used to being surrounded by people.

Qi Hao and An Feng’s honeymoon lasted over half a month.

In early June, Qi Hao officially joined the "Lost on Journey 2: Thailand" crew.

On the first day in the crew, they held a script reading session.

A film crew can consist of a few hundred to a thousand people, and the daily cost is high, so the shooting ti is extrely valuable and expensive, which requires designing much of the shooting content during the early preparation period.

This movie is mainly between Qi Hao, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo.

Others can all be seen as minor characters.

Script readings aren’t just about discussing dialogue basics.

The focus is on having everyone express their feelings about the script and their roles after a simple pass-through, with participation from the director and screenwriters.

It doesn’t an the script can’t be changed.

The director and screenwriters explain the creative intent, if the explanation is clear, it won’t change; if not, or if persuaded by the actors’ interpretations, they go back and revise it.

Take Huang Bo, for instance, he put a lot of emphasis on this script and even wrote a character backstory.

So many things, even Qi Hao, the "screenwriter," didn’t consider.

After all, Tongzi just gave Qi Hao a script.

Everything beyond the script wasn’t provided, so the actors have to discover themselves.

"Baoqiang, look at what he wrote, look at yourself, you can’t even write an 800-word essay."

Qi Hao took a quick look at the character backstory.

Although he thought Huang Bo’s preparation might be over-the-top, this working attitude deserves praise.

"You never said I needed to prepare this."

Wang Baoqiang felt wronged, it wasn’t like he hadn’t prepared, he’d discussed many points in the script with Qi Hao over the phone.

His understanding of the role certainly wasn’t any less than Huang Bo’s.

"I just randomly wrote sothing. You two have worked together before, I’m newly joining in, worried my playing might seem abrupt, so I pondered more."

Huang Bo placed great importance on this collaboration.

If before, he felt a bit sorry towards Ning Hao by getting closer to Zhonghao Entertainnt.

Now there’s no such pressure anymore.

Because the company Ning Hao signed with is Galloping Horse, and now Qi Hao has beco a major shareholder of Galloping Horse.

Which ans, Huang Bo’s boss’s boss’s boss is now Qi Hao.

"There’s actually no need for pressure, we’re just shooting a cody, our goal is to bring joy to the audience. You’ve done ’Crazy Stone’ and ’Crazy Racing,’ you’re no worse than us in this field."

Qi Hao is quite looking forward to Huang Bo joining.

On the other hand, Ye Weimin is ambitious, hoping this series goes on perpetually.

However, Qi Hao has already refused to write more scripts for him.

Unless Tongzi steps up.

"Your... ahem, our style here is quite different from Ning Hao’s."

Huang Bo truly lacks so confidence.

He even felt that his character’s scenes were in no way less than the other two leads.

Before accepting the role, he thought both he and Wang Baoqiang were supporting roles, and the real lead was Qi Hao.

Considering Qi Hao wrote the script, and he was the boss.

Wouldn’t things be arranged perfectly for him?

"Ning Hao said he’d co for a visit in a few days, let’s see if he has any suggestions for improvent. We’ll start filming first; we can make adjustnts anyti."

This film had a total investnt of 50 million.

Both Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo worked on a low pay plus share model, the main actors didn’t take much, leaving ample budget for filming.

"Alright, let’s shoot the massage scene tomorrow first."

Ye Weimin had no problems with that.

Since Qi Hao was traveling in Thailand, the filming was also set up there.

Back when "Infernal Affairs" started shooting, they even sought so White Dragon King in Thailand, Qi Hao didn’t believe in that stuff, so they invited Daoist Suiyun instead.

It was Daoist Suiyun’s first ti going abroad.

Coming to such a colorful world as Thailand, who knows if his Dao heart remains steadfast.
