Chapter 104: Can you live with your conscience? (Seeking monthly votes)

"Aobai, you missed me!"

You can't control a donkey's life, but you can control a cat's life.

When Qi Hao returned to the capital, he hugged Oboi and gave him a warm hug.

Aobai was cooperative at first, but later he turned his face away and kicked Qi Hao with his claws, trying to get him away from him.

"Aobai, I'm out here and I don't want to eat or drink, but you've gained weight again. Lao Tian, ​​why is he fat again? Didn't I tell him to lose weight?"

"The people in the office fed it to me."

Old Tian had no choice but to bring Aobai to the company every day, and immediately a group of people would feed him canned snacks and other things.

Now Aobai is the company's favorite driver.

Even Janchi Leyden, who always claimed that he hated small animals, would secretly pet a cat when no one was looking.

He always buys the most and the best canned food.

If Lao Tian didn't bring Aobai over, the company's morale would start to unravel and work efficiency would plummet.

"Can't you have a little backbone? Don't accept food given out of pity, understand?" Qi Hao had no choice but to educate Oboi ideologically.

Abahai had gotten over the novelty of Qi Hao just returning home. After having sex with Qi Hao, he left with his big butt twisted like a scumbag.

"Actually, it's not that fat. It looks fat mainly because it has too much hair."

Old Tian felt a little sorry for Oboi.

It was like the woman he loved married another man. He knew he had no right to do so, but he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Okay, what's going on at the company recently?"

Qi Hao made two cups of tea with boiling water, took one for himself and handed one to Lao Tian.

"Not too much, after all, it's on the right track," Lao Tian took the tea made by the boss, put it on the coffee table, and continued, "One of your endorsements expired, and you increased the price by 20% and renewed it for another two years."

"Watch?" Qi Hao had some impression.

"Yes, they are also planning to shoot a TV commercial and might invite a female celebrity. They wanted to know if we have any recommendations."

What Old Tian meant was to ask Qi Hao if he had any suitable candidate.

After all, it was Qi Hao and others who were shooting a commercial.

Shooting commercials is different from endorsements.

The previous task asked Qi Hao to shoot a spicy snack advertisement, but there was no requirement for Qi Hao to be the spokesperson.

"An Feng?"

It’s not that Qi Hao can’t find someone.

To be precise, there were simply too many people he could find.

However, finding An Feng would help An Feng further dispel the rumors of the ban.

"She has a watch endorsement, and it hasn't fallen off." Lao Tian reminded.

After the ban rumors came out, An Feng lost two endorsements, but there were no problems with the others.

Unless there is an official announcement, the brand will not terminate the contract with the artist due to some rumors.

"Then let's choose Wan Qian." Qi Hao chose another one.

"also."

Old Tian approved of Qi Hao's choice.

It’s not that Qi Hao can’t find a more popular female star, but to get her to star in a commercial like this rather than endorse it, Qi Hao needs to use his connections to invite her.

For example, in the Xiao Feigun spicy snacks commercial, An Feng and Gao Yuanyuan acted there to curry favor with Qi Hao.

I must repay this favor if I have the chance.

It would be better to find someone like Wan Qian who is not very popular. Not only would it not be considered a favor, it could even be seen as Qi Hao introducing a job to Wan Qian.

"Try to negotiate a higher salary for them."

"Don't worry. Besides, our company has received many applications from artists to join."

Lao Tian feels very conflicted about this.

The fact that some people are willing to come means that their studio is doing a good job and has allowed some people to see its potential.

But he also didn't want to accept too many people.

It is very troublesome to manage and may not be successful.

Just like Zven, after so many years of brokerage business, none of them has gotten off the ground.

Before joining Ziwen, Qi Hao had already starred in popular TV series such as "Marrying the Wrong Man", so he was not promoted by Ziwen.

"Reject them all." Qi Hao didn't want it either.

The cost-effectiveness of being an artist agent is too low. If you don’t make the contract particularly harsh, it will be difficult to make any money.

But if you make the contract too harsh, can you live with your conscience?
You can earn money again if you lose it, but if you lose your conscience, it will take a lot of effort to earn it.

Even if Qi Hao could sign the person against his conscience.

But once you have made someone famous, you may face termination of the contract or non-renewal upon expiration.

In any case, once you sign, you have to take care of their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

"Yes, we don't do artist management. If we have to expand our business, I think film and television production is the best. The market is good now, and the cost of film and television production is rising. No matter whether you make a profit or a loss in the end, the production stage will definitely make money."

It is obvious that Lao Tian is not only working on Qi Hao's brokerage business.

Now Qi Hao has become independent and has reached an agreement with the coal boss to set up the Little Sheep Company.

If he doesn't know how to expand his business, he's remiss.

"Tsk, if you really make them lose money, no one will invest anymore."

Qi Hao sneered at Lao Tian's wild ideas, but he also knew that Lao Tian was right. Investing and production were obviously the way to make big money.

"Don't we have Boss Gao?" Old Tian said with a smile.

"Help me set up a company, mainly for investment..." Qi Hao thought of Penguin and Huayi stocks.

It’s not that individual shareholding is not possible, but there are too many disadvantages.

Moreover, Penguin stocks will continue to be added, and Brother Tongzi may even reward other stocks in the future.

It would be better to set up an investment company.

"Okay," Lao Tian became more alert and asked, "Tell me honestly, when did you make the investment behind my back?"

"What do you mean carrying you on my back?" Qi Hao was speechless.

This sounds like you're accusing me of having a girlfriend behind your back.

You're a fucking pervert.

"Tsk, I didn't realize that, Qi, you actually hid some private money behind my back."

When he said this, he spoke in a sissy voice, which made Qi Hao feel sick.

After some joking, the two discussed some work matters.

Although Qi Hao Studio was established less than a year ago, it is currently one of the most successful studios.

This success is not reflected in how many resources it found for Qi Hao.

It is a kind of industry recognition.

No one felt that there was any risk in cooperating with Qi Hao just because he left a formal agency and operated as a personal studio.

The success of Qi Hao Studio has also made more first-line celebrities more inclined to set up their own studios.

Instead of continuing a win-win situation with the agency.

After all, no matter how win-win it is, you have to give at least 30% of the points to the agency.

However, Qi Hao's studio has been a little distracted recently.

Although "The Besieged City in October" and "Let's See" were invested by Xiao Fei Yang, the production entities have nothing to do with Xiao Fei Yang, so they did not participate in that much work.

This time, "Lost on Journey" is solely funded by Xiao Fei Yang.

Moreover, Ye Weimin is a Hong Kong director. It is okay to let him pull together a production team, after all, he has good connections and can use people in Hong Kong. But if you ask him to run all the other links, it would be a bit too much to ask.

At this time, Xiao Feiyang has to take on more responsibilities.

Whether to make money or lose money is Xiao Feiyang’s own business.

But Xiao Fei Yang didn’t even have a formal employee, so he could only ask people from Qi Hao’s studio to help with the work.

Yang Liu followed Qi Hao to the old county town, but was called back to the capital after just a few days.

The main reason is that there is a shortage of manpower in the capital.

Fortunately, when Gao Yang gave the money, he gave an extra 10 million, which was considered as the operating capital of Xiao Fei Yang, so the work could be outsourced to Qi Hao Studio.

Adding the 20 million for "The Siege of the City in October", the 2 million for "Where to Go and See", and the 5 million for "Lost on Journey", Gao Yang has already paid 37 million.

So far, Boss Gao has not seen any return on his investment.

However, not only did he not suspect that Qi Hao was trying to cheat him, he also sent his daughter here as a hostage.

This is the pattern!

Qi Hao will be able to help after he comes back.

At least when it comes to casting, he has more than ten years of experience as an actor and understands what kind of actors to look for better than the average casting director.

"Lost on Journey" is a drama with two male protagonists.

Qi Hao and Wang Baoqiang are the protagonists. Although there are some roles for other people, none of them can be considered the main actors.

When hiring actors, you either have to find someone who is not famous, or ask them to make a cameo appearance out of personal relationships.

For example, Qi Hao chose Gao Yuanyuan as his wife and Li Xiaoran as his mistress.

Gao Yuanyuan and Li Xiaoran both have leading actress level resources, so why should they be your cheating wife or someone else's mistress?

In addition, there are two more important characters, one is a female swindler and the other is a sexy young woman.

The duo met a disfigured woman on the road, kneeling on the ground begging passers-by for money so that she could save her daughter who was undergoing surgery.

Li Chenggong knew at first glance that this was a trick of a liar, but Niu Geng, who also came from a poor family, could not walk anymore. He fell out with Li Chenggong and chose to believe that the woman was not a liar. He gave her all his savings and believed her words that he would return the money within two hours.

Niu Geng just stood by the road waiting.

Until dark.

Later, facing Li Chenggong's ridicule, the simple Niu Geng only replied with one sentence:

"It's better if you lie. If you lie, it means no one is sick. It's better if no one is sick."

The screenwriter hopes to use this to enrich the character of Niu Geng.

Later, the duo encounters the female con man again on the road and chases her all the way to her home.

Unexpectedly, there were actually a group of children in rags there, as well as a little girl who had just undergone surgery, with gauze covering her eyes and an intravenous drip on her hand.

After reading the script, Qi Hao questioned the logic of the script.

Why are so many orphans being raised by this woman? What about the welfare institutions? And her boyfriend died, and she was disfigured, but didn't she get any compensation?
She takes care of so many children by herself, and there is no intervention from relevant agencies?
The screenwriter team promised to make the logic as consistent as possible.

But the role of the female swindler was retained.

The problem is who to find to play the role.

According to Ye Weimin's idea, since Qi Hao could find two ex-rumored girlfriends to play the wife and the mistress, why couldn't he find another ex-rumored girlfriend to play the female liar?

You're here now...right?
