Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 406 - 399: To Shine in Public, Suffer in Private

Qi Hao had to give Wang Baoqiang so face and take ti to understand the situation.

However, Wang Baoqiang just introduced them briefly and left.

He said he needed to rush to a schedule.

Actually, it was also to show an attitude.

Although he introduced everyone, he wouldn’t use his friendship with Qi Hao to add chips for his friends.

Whether Qi Hao used Chen Sicheng or not didn’t matter.

Baoqiang has been in the industry for many years, he’s no longer a rookie, and his wife Weng Jinyu is also a smart person.

Upon learning that Wang Baoqiang agreed to introduce his friends, she began helping to make ands.

Under no circumstances can it affect his friendship with Qi Hao.

On Qi Hao’s side, he didn’t really care.

If Ye Weimin was willing to take on the "Detective Chinatown" series, Chen Sicheng certainly wouldn’t be involved, at most he’d be made executive director.

The problem is Ye Weimin refused.

His intention was clear, that he wanted to make the "Lost on Journey" series a classic.

Two movies a year, one "Jiong" and one "Detective Chinatown", he’s aged and it’s really exhausting.

Normal people can’t accomplish three or four movies a year like Qi Hao.

After all, movies require preparation, production, and post-editing, even if pushed to release, it doesn’t an everything’s perfect.

Promotion is the most important aspect of a movie.

After the movie is off-screen, awards and such still need operations.

The limit for a normal person is one movie a year.

Most directors release a work every three years.

Exceeding this number are quick-shot tempers and workaholics.

Actually, Qi Hao wasn’t as crazy as last year, in the first half of the year he was busy getting married, mid-year he acted in "Lost on Journey 2", in the latter half directed and starred in the TV series "You Who Ca from the Stars".

Actually, as a director, he only directed one play.

Since Ye Weimin refused to direct, Qi Hao has to pick soone else to complete it, otherwise the script was wasted.

He long discovered, what the system offers are pieces taken from the tiline, if he doesn’t use them, soone will definitely make this series.

By then, the money will be earned by soone else.

Unless Qi Hao gets involved personally.

But Qi Hao doesn’t have much interest in making another series of cody films, the "Jiong" series is already enough.

He likes to try different types of movies and roles.

Constantly challenging his own limits.

Well, extremities.

Along with Chen Sicheng, Duan Yihong and Zhang Yi also ca.

Actually, Qi Hao and Duan Yihong had collaborated before.

It was in "Wind Sound", Qi Hao played Takeda, a Japanese soldier, and Duan Yihong wasn’t much better, he played a traitor who didn’t last long.

Don’t judge by the short screen ti, Duan Yihong’s acting is genuinely top-notch.

Zhang Yi doesn’t have much interaction.

Out of respect for Wang Baoqiang, Qi Hao treated them to a al.

Right near the filming site.

The afternoon has scenes needing filming, An Feng didn’t join them, since it was just n at the al.

"Seems like you all belong to Mrs. Hua?"

Qi Hao asked the most crucial question, he was now considered an opponent of Mrs. Hua.

And Chen Sicheng, Zhang Yi, Duan Yihong, their contracts seem to all be with Mrs. Hua, which was quite awkward.

It felt like Qi Hao was impressive, even the opponent company’s artists ca to surrender.

He found a small diner, at this hour it’s not busy, but who knows when guests might co in, if soone takes a snap with their phone, it’s bound to be big news.

Qi Hao dining with opponent company’s people.

Pleasant conversation.

They wouldn’t say these people ca to surrender, but rather that Qi Hao started enticing people.

The Wang Brothers would probably be quite nervous.

"Yes, all three of our contracts are with Mrs. Hua."

Chen Sicheng nodded candidly.

Zhang Yi chuckled awkwardly.

Zhang Yi’s looks are rather average, certainly doesn’t receive much attention from Mrs. Hua.

Not personable, not eloquent, rather unattractive and lacks money.

But his acting skills are also very good.

"The Chief" made him famous, however, the resources were rather scarce.

What he mostly lands are supporting roles.

From his case, it’s evident, looks really can earn a living.

Without good looks can only drink soup.

Duan Yihong remained silent, he spends most of his ti seemingly half awake, in a daze, only during films does he suddenly beco spirited.

"Does President Wang know you want to collaborate with ?"

Qi Hao was curious.

These people either didn’t care about the Wang Brothers’ stance, or had too high expectations for their magnanimity.

"Probably knows, when we discussed this, there were quite a few people around."

Chen Sicheng chuckled, explained their specific situation.

This ti, riding on Wang Baoqiang’s favor, they ca seeking Qi Hao, Li Chen didn’t co.

He feared retaliation from the Wang Brothers.

Chen Sicheng didn’t care, his contract expires next year.

Now almost no artists under Mrs. Hua would renew deals, departure at expiry almost beca the norm.

Duan Yihong and Zhang Yi’s contract with Mrs. Hua ends later, only concluding in 2014.

Chen Sicheng planned initially to co alone.

Zhang Yi also wanted to co.

He felt timid, then asked Duan Yihong to join, and Duan Yihong agreed without hesitation.

Though Mrs. Hua did so distasteful things, she valued appearance in contracts.

They don’t strictly limit artists from picking gigs outside.

As long as you can find your own resources, they’re pleased Mrs. Hua’s artists are part of projects across the entertainnt industry.

The reason is simple.

At one point, stars under Mrs. Hua almost dominated half the entertainnt industry, where do they find so many projects?

If not allowed to seek outside resources, they’d starve.

Moreover, Duan Yihong and Zhang Yi signed with Mrs. Hua after "The Chief", they aren’t newbies, falling under well-known artists, their contracts naturally more lenient.

As long as they don’t seek termination, the Wang Brothers couldn’t care less.

Li Chen’s fear is the Wang Brothers might resent him seeking Mrs. Hua’s strongest competitor, embarrassing Mrs. Hua.

"Alright, now that you ntioned it, I understand, if there’s a chance, collaboration isn’t out of the question."

Qi Hao’s company doesn’t sign artists, but collaborating with good actors is naturally possible.

"Can I take a look at the script Baoqiang ntioned?" Chen Sicheng pulled out a docunt from his bag and said, "This is the TV screenplay we made, consider it a eting gift for President Qi."

Chen Sicheng knew, he is currently nothing.

Wanting to obtain a script from Qi Hao, or even investnt, was simply unrealistic.

Qi Hao is financially robust, tirelessly buying scripts externally this year, how could he possibly sell his own written scripts?

Definitely would have to beco his subordinate to have a chance to be part of this movie.

To look prominent to outsiders, you must suffer behind the scenes～～

"The script you made is it? You want to self-write and direct? Let see the quality, if it’s good enough, the movie will be left for you to direct, but I must appoint a Producer, if your level’s really poor, I might replace you anyti."

Since they brought their own scripts, it’s awkward to assign them as assistant directors.

The fortunate thing is Qi Hao isn’t too keen on playing so assistant director ga, he has too many assistant directors here.

But he had to admit.

He’s not fond of Chen Sicheng’s slippery nature.

But it’s whatever.

At his level, these are all small fry.

To speak arrogantly, Qi Hao mixing in the entertainnt circle now, is like a kid playing with an ant colony.

Not only is he mightier than ants, but he’s also a hanger, belonging to a higher tier of power.

If this guy really has potential, maybe he could contribute to exceeding his tasks.

When the ti cos the system rewards with a bunch of alien civilization black technologies.

Then he’d be an adult playing with ants.
