Chapter 189 A Real Man Should Be Like This! (Happy New Year)

The two chatted about "Li Mi's Conjecture" for a while, and then started talking about Xu Ke's "The Empire of the Sky".

Deng Xun obviously knew that Xu Ke liked Qi Hao the most.

However, he had nothing to be jealous of because his own status was not as high as Qi Hao's.

It can even be said that it is very far away.

After all, at the beginning of this year, millions of people participated and nearly a hundred entertainment reporters jointly voted for the "Post-80s New Generation Entertainment Stars", and Hu Ge, Zhang Junning, Lin Yushen and Zhu Yuchen were collectively known as the "Four Little Freshmen".

Deng Xun still failed to be selected.

I didn’t get elected last time, and I didn’t get elected this time either.

It’s not that Deng Xun is not as famous as these four, but... he was born in 79 and is too old to participate in the selection of the four youngest freshmen.

He originally had some hope in the last session.

But at that time, the works were not strong enough and there was no financial support.

He is destined to have no chance with the four little freshmen in this life.

Fortunately, he has decided to pursue an acting career and follow Qi Hao's example to compete for the Best Actor award.

There are too many young actors nowadays, but the movie emperor is more respected.

Look at Huang Xiaoming, isn’t he also trying to become a movie emperor?

After chatting for a while, Jiang Xin came. She was an extra to the meal. If she could get a role, she would take it. If she couldn't, it didn't matter.

Maybe she knew that she had a sharp tongue, so Jiang Xin drank tea quietly the whole time.

As a result, I drank too much tea and had to go to the toilet again.

When she came back from the bathroom, Zheng Xiaolong also arrived at the restaurant.

He did not come alone, he also brought Cao Ping, Wang Xiaoping, Chen Jianbin, Wu Xuelan and Zhang Xiaolong.

Among them, Wu Xuelan is the original author and also the screenwriter.

The other screenwriter is Wang Xiaoping.

Don’t underestimate Wang Xiaoping and think that she has less say than the original author. In fact, Wang Xiaoping has another identity, that is, Zheng Xiaolong’s wife.

Nowadays, who goes out without carrying a few identities?

In addition to these two screenwriters, there is actually an entire screenwriter team, but their names will most likely not appear in public.

This is the current screenwriter market.

Expecting to become an overnight success as a screenwriter is absolutely wishful thinking.

Talented screenwriters will consider becoming directors themselves.

Screenwriters who don't have the ability to be directors usually join the team of famous screenwriters when they first enter the industry.

Even if you wrote 80 percent of the script, you are not entitled to have your name on it.

Only after enduring for a few years and gradually gaining fame and connections will you have a chance to succeed.

If you still don't have enough connections, your life will be like that.

The screenwriting industry is the place where talent is most easily buried, and it is also the place with the most scammers and plagiarists.

Anyway, Qi Hao didn't believe that Wang Xiaoping and Wu Xuelan could write a good script.

But he had no intention of standing up for the weak.

This is the rule of the industry. One of them is the original author, so it is natural for her to be credited. The other is the director’s wife, so there is no problem with her being credited.

Instead, Qi Hao acted as if he had heard of your name for a long time.

There is also Cao Ping, Zheng Xiaolong’s old partner and the chief producer and distributor of "Golden Wedding".

This time she is still serving as producer.

But she is not the only producer.

Qi Hao doesn't have time to go to the set of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", so Yang Liu will replace him as the permanent producer on the crew.

As for Zhang Xiaolong, he is not very old and plays the role of Wen Shichu in the play. In addition, he will also serve as an etiquette instructor in the play.

He will also serve as a liturgical consultant and choreographer during the scriptwriting phase.

He graduated from Beijing Dance Academy and entered the Central Academy of Drama after graduation. While in school, he learned Chinese classical etiquette from the last uncle of the emperor, Guobuluo Runqi.

Chen Jianbin is even more familiar.

He graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, majored in drama, and is Jiang Qinqin’s husband.

In addition, he also plays Cao Cao in Gao Xixi's new drama "Three Kingdoms" and is currently a popular figure among Mesozoic actors.

If he didn't develop well, Jiang Qinqin would not be able to retire.

After introducing each other, everyone started eating, mostly chatting.

Zheng Xiaolong is a really capable person, but he has no moral integrity.

He could easily talk about various topics at the dinner table, and even made a few jokes about the relationship between Qi Hao and Sun Li.

"Everyone in the industry knows about my scandals. I don't know who started the rumors, saying that having a scandal with me will make you famous. You've seen it, anyone who has worked with me will not let go of me. Take Sun Li for example, she and I didn't have many scenes together, and we only met a few times during the filming of the TV series."

Qi Hao was full of grievances.

He perfectly created an image of a victim for himself.

"I can become famous just by having a scandal with you. Is this true or false?"

Chen Jianbin wasn't asking for himself; he was just very curious.

In fact, he and Qi Hao have also worked together in the movie "Fly Like Chicken Feathers" released in 2002. Chen Jianbin was the protagonist and Qi Hao was the supporting role.

At that time, Qi Hao was actually already very popular.

Then Qi Hao and Jiang Qinqin have actually worked together before.

As for why there are no rumors...

Because that was the crew of "Kangxi's Private Visits" in 1997, and Qi Hao was just a supporting actor.

Jiang Qinqin has already played "Xi Shi".

"It must be fake. If it's true that one can become famous just by spreading rumors, look at my dozens of rumored girlfriends. The entertainment industry might not be able to accommodate them all." If you want to try to fall in love, it's better not to do these things.

At the beginning, Ms. Liu turned into a crazy girl to protect her daughter. Besides the fact that An Feng was still young, the main reason was that Qi Hao was full of scandals. In Ms. Liu's eyes, he was no different from a bug or a fly.

Almost every crew can find a few women who have had scandals with Qi Hao.

Qi Hao could understand. If it were his own daughter...

After chatting for a while, we finally talked about casting.

The original author Wu Xuelan was more inclined towards Ada Choi and even had an argument with director Zheng Xiaolong.

Qi Hao didn't say anything.

Please, he is the producer, he doesn't need to condescend to get involved in such casting disputes.

When Zheng Xiaolong and Wu Xuelan had almost finished arguing, Qi Hao began to say calmly, "We all want to make the work better. If that's the case, then let's hold an open audition."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Ping agreed without hesitation: "Yes, yes, open auditions are good."

Among the three people, Qi Hao, Zheng Xiaolong and Wu Xuelan, he definitely supports Qi Hao and Zheng Xiaolong. The author of the original work is just an outsider who knows nothing.

She doesn't understand "The Legend of Zhen Huan" at all.

Besides, why should the leading female role in such a female-led production be given to a Hong Kong actress?

What kind of return can this kind of actor bring to the work and to everyone?

Hong Kong actors are not cheap at all.

However, not everyone can attack the original author together, as that would easily lead to a breakup. After all, when purchasing the copyright, there is a clause stating that the original author can participate in film planning.

As the producer, it is particularly appropriate for Qi Hao to say such things.

As for the audition results, that naturally has the final say from the director.

What could Wu Xuelan say? They were the producer, and the money for the entire project, including her copyright fees and screenwriter fees, were all paid by them.

Moreover, Qi Hao did not directly name Sun Li as the leading female role.

It was a fair audition, and this is the best possible outcome.

As for Jiang Xin, there is even less of a problem.

This TV series has many very eye-catching female characters, and you can cast any one of them.

As long as Jiang Xin doesn't speak, no one will hate her.

"How's the progress of Jiang Wen's movie?"

Zheng Xiaolong achieved his goal and chatted with Qi Hao about other things.

"The casting has been completed and filming will probably start in the second half of the year."

Although Qi Hao has not met with Jiang Wen recently, Yang Liu has been following the entire film process and she will report to Qi Hao regularly.

"So fast? I heard you like to go over budget when making movies. No wonder you get along so well with Jiang Wen."

Zheng Xiaolong also wanted to find out Qi Hao's attitude towards overspending.

TV series...it's not impossible to overspend.

From now on, the three of us will form an overspending group, and we will overspend together and make money together.

"Haha, the reason why Brother Wen and I can get along so well is because we both drank to our heart's content. It has nothing to do with overspending. I can tolerate my own overspending, but when someone else overspends, I want to kill him..."

Just kidding, if you are joking, then I am joking too.

By joking, I can also express my attitude.

I hate people who overspend the most, and there are also people who don't let me overspend, so no one should try to cheat me out of my money.

Zheng Xiaolong understood immediately.

He was still hoping to continue the cooperation in the future. Since Qi Hao said so, he would try to save as much as possible.

"Jiang Wen was looking for someone to play Huang Silang, and I was quite excited at the time."

Chen Jianbin said at the side that he didn't know the script, but he knew the character's personality.

Moreover, "Let the Bullets Fly" does have an original novel.

It's a pity that this movie didn't have open auditions, otherwise he would definitely give it a try.

"I heard that Liang Jiahui was chosen."

Qi Hao really couldn't help with the casting of Jiang Wen's movie.

Even the casting of Zheng Xiaolong is unlikely to be influenced by the producer, let alone Jiang Wen.

At most, he said that it was inappropriate for Jiang Wen to choose Zhou Ruifa.

He gets 40 million yuan in salary alone. I can't afford to invest in your movie. If you want me to invest, you can find another one.

"Ah, I can also play more domineering roles. I feel particularly good in playing Cao Cao. You can take a look at it later."

"Three Kingdoms" starring Chen Jianbin will not be broadcast until next year.

He can play Cao Cao, and indeed he can play a domineering role. Moreover, the role of the emperor in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" he played this time is indeed a domineering type.

Qi Hao also recognized his acting skills.

At least it's better than Zhang Tielin who just glared and glared when playing the emperor. Unfortunately, the director is not Qi Hao, so there is nothing he can do to help.

"Is there anything I can act out in that bullet flying scene?"

Before Deng Xu could speak, Jiang Xin unsealed her mouth.

"You can't play a man's role... Don't ask me, you know what kind of person Jiang Wen is. I don't even have a role to play myself."

Qi Hao read the simple script and character settings, and indeed there were no outstanding female characters.

The county magistrate's wife and Sister Hua are more eye-catching, and Jiang Xin can't play them.

The meal was quite good and Sun Li achieved her goal.

Moreover, her husband was no longer so hostile towards Qi Hao, and his words and actions showed his admiration for her.

And inexplicably said:
This is what a man should do!
