Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 193: Stay away from me! (asking for monthly votes)

Qi Hao didn't hesitate for too long. Just when he was planning to go to Hong Kong to have a chat with the movie king, Gao Fei took back a bunch of scripts.

"This one is from Japan, it's called 'Rebirth', the screenwriter drew a bunch of storyboards, it's quite interesting to watch, he even posted an action video."

Gao Fei looked at Qi Hao expectantly.

"He has frozen shoulder?"

Qi Hao looked at it again and again and could only come to this conclusion.

"Uh...don't you think it's cool to dangle like this?"

Gao Fei began to reflect on his own aesthetic taste.

"I don't think so. Is there anything else?" Qi Hao is not opposed to foreign scripts.

He even felt that foreign scripts were better.

This has nothing to do with whether the moon is rounder in foreign countries. If excellent foreign scripts can flow into the country, it will be a good thing for the development of domestic films.

This is what is called one gains while the other loses.

"Neighborhood is gone. Their film market has been nearly killed by Hollywood in recent years. The ones that can come out are basically animated films, which are great. We tried to buy a script called The Yellow Sea from the screenwriter of The Chaser, but he was hesitant to sell it, and I heard that he was a bit of a shill for us, so we gave up."

Gao Fei and Yang Liu have been flying all over Asia during this period.

Whenever they go to a place, they contact people in the local film industry. If they can help them buy good scripts, they are even willing to pay the agency fee.

Anyway, it gives people the feeling of being arrogant.

"We definitely can't accept movies that criticize us... Oh, that's not to say we can't accept them. We can just modify them after we buy them. But the premise is that they can be modified. If the core idea is to criticize us and there's no way to modify it, we can't accept such movies."

Qi Hao knows that there are many movies out there that vilify us.

It is not advisable to buy it and not use it. He does not have such a strong sense of responsibility, and there are endless scripts of this type to buy.

The only way to truly eliminate different voices from the outside world is to become strong yourself, rather than relying on immature behavior such as buying scripts to cover your mouth.

"There is also a good script in Bangbang called "Uncle", which can also be translated as "The Lone Agent". The screenwriter is Li Zhenfan, who is also a writer and director. In 06, he released a movie called "Hot-Blooded Man". This script has been written for several years, but has not received investment."

Gao Fei did not take the script back, and the final decision-making power of the script currently lies with Qi Hao.

Qi Hao can decide whether to buy it or not after reading the script outline.

"I haven't heard of it. How much does he want?"

In recent years, Bangbang's movies have been crushed by Hollywood movies. There have even been many marches and demonstrations to protest against the Zheng government's failure to protect local films.

They really thought too much, that's his father.

Not to mention the film market, you can take whatever you want in other areas.

Fortunately, the TV drama industry is very developed there, and talented screenwriters all go to write TV dramas.

Ordinary movie scripts don't sell for much.

"He wants 300 million..."

Gao Fei looked at the memo and quoted the other party's price.

"Pfft~"

Although he knew the exchange rate was exaggerated, the offer of 300 million still made Qi Hao almost spit out tea.

"It's about 210 million RMB. If you decide to buy it, you should be able to lower the price to 200 million. He is very sincere."

Yang Liu added on the side.

She and Gao Fei led the team out together. Gao Fei didn't care much about hundreds of thousands, but she would usually haggle over the price.

"Anything else? If not, I'll take a look at this first?"

Qi Hao glanced at the story introduction of the script.

The script mainly tells the story of a pawnshop uncle who lives next door to Xiaomi and is a taciturn person who doesn't talk to others. However, Xiaomi contacts the uncle out of curiosity. The uncle witnesses Xiaomi and her mother being kidnapped. In order to rescue Xiaomi and her mother, he begins to fight against the underworld.

It's a bit cliché, but as long as this type of movie is not perfunctory, it is generally watchable.

At most, the background is not easy to handle.

But this does not pose a problem for Qi Hao, as he can simply change the production area to Hong Kong.

The protagonist's identity can be changed to Interpol.

As for the Black Society and Dupin and the like, they are all black in Hong Kong, so it doesn't matter if Qi Hao blackens them one more time.

"There's a guy called Gareth Evans in Indonesia. He has a script called The Raid, but his new film Fist of Fury is about to be released. He'll probably have to wait and see how the new film goes before deciding whether to sell the script."

"He's just keeping us hanging and then making a decision based on the situation. If the movie fails, he'll quickly cash in on the new script. If it makes money, he'll continue to shoot his own movies."

Qi Hao was amused by this kind of person.

"That's about it, so let's talk about it. Gareth Evans is not easy to buy."

Yang Liu only got the story introduction.

"It's also a story with a simple plot..."

To be honest, Qi Hao was quite disappointed with the plots of these scripts.

The role of "The Man from Nowhere" is just like the roles played by Liam Neeson in "Taken", Denzel Washington in "The Fifth Estate" and Jean Reno in "Léon: The Professional". Qi Hao can probably guess the general idea even without seeing the complete script.

He actually dared to ask for two million.

And "The Raid" is even more straightforward, it's all about fighting and killing, and it could probably be filmed even without a script.

However, these two scripts arrived in time. At least if Qi Hao couldn't get "The Informant", he would not lose the clue to complete the mission.

Moreover, "Uncle" and "The Raid" have stronger action movie elements, while "The Informer" is more inclined to the battle of wits between police and criminals.

Since "The Raid" is not for sale yet, Qi Hao decided to take a look at "Uncle" first.

Anyway, for a movie like "The Raid" with a relatively thin plot, if you want to make it well, you must look at the level of the actors and action directors.

The movie "Uncle" is easier. If the script of "Uncle" is good, then two million is just two million.

The mission reward is one hundred million!

But if the quality of the script is not good, then we have to push it down a bit.

Otherwise, you will really become the recognized sucker in the entire industry.

"There are also a lot of scripts submitted from China, but the quality is average and the price is very high. Some even start at five million."

Gao Fei felt a little guilty.

The reason for this consequence is all her fault.

"Five million, what kind of script?"

Qi Hao was thinking, would there be a really awesome script, similar to the level of "Infernal Affairs", if it really was five million, then it wouldn't be a loss.

The remake rights of "Infernal Affairs" were bought by Warner Bros. Pictures in 2005 for more than $170 million.

If you do the math, it’s much more than five million.

"Well, for example, this one called "Locker"..."

Yang Liu opened a document.

"Lock King!"

Qi Hao's eyes suddenly lit up. He had just obtained Lock Picking +10 not long ago. Has the destined script come so soon?
However, after listening to Yang Liu's introduction, he gave up the idea.

What a mess.

Get out of the way!

Get away from me!
Yang Liu mentioned a few more, such as "The Decisive Battle of Shama Town" and "Kung Fu Master". The more Qi Hao listened, the more helpless he felt.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Although Qi Hao was not particularly satisfied with the script, he still had to say what he needed to say.

Yang Liu and Gao Fei not only had to follow up on the early preparations for "Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but also had to help him collect scripts. It felt like their working hours were even longer than the 996 working hours.

Gao Fei always joked that he did a lot of evil things in the first half of his life, and spent the second half getting up early to go to work.

"It doesn't matter if it's hard, it's all what you should do."

Yang Liu quickly responded that her income in the past two years was more than that of third- and fourth-tier stars, and she felt it was worth it no matter how tired she was.

"If it's not too hard, then you guys can continue with your work. I'm leaving now. Remember to send me the script of The Man from Nowhere. I'll read it and decide whether to buy it or not."

Qi Hao is going to attend the Bazaar Charity Dinner today.

Last year Su Mang invited him to a dinner party, but he didn't make the time to go, so it would be difficult for him to refuse this year.

Su Mang even made some harsh remarks.

If Teacher Qi Hao doesn't participate, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue my job as the editor-in-chief.

She offended Qi Hao at the premiere of "The Forbidden Kingdom".

In the past two years, Qi Hao has developed rapidly and was even revealed to be a shareholder of Penguin. His status has already exceeded the scope of the entertainment industry.

This put more and more pressure on Su Mang.

Only if Qi Hao attends the Bazaar Charity Night will it be possible to clarify and resolve the conflict between her and Qi Hao.

Therefore, Su Mang has been begging everyone for help recently, using all his connections to invite Qi Hao to the event, and even promised him a double cover for Esquire in the September issue.

Qi Hao has no interest in magazine covers, he doesn't pursue that.

But he and Su Mang really had no hatred, so there was really no need to let the whole world know that he and Su Mang were incompatible.

Moreover, at the premiere of "The Forbidden Kingdom", it was he who humiliated Su Mang.

He never suffered any loss from beginning to end.

Therefore, Qi Hao accepted the invitation to this charity dinner.

What's more, An Feng will also attend this charity dinner, so it's a good opportunity for us to meet.

Qi Hao hasn't seen An Feng for several days since she finished recording "Rainy Love".

Qi Hao went to the Penguin headquarters, and An Feng also had his own work to do.

Fortunately, although we haven’t met in person, we chat on QQ almost every day and have also called each other.

But after all, we are separated by the Internet, and I really miss you a little.

Qi Hao is the endorsement of a clothing brand, so he doesn't need to borrow clothes to wear.

It's just that wearing formal clothes on such a hot day would make me look particularly silly.

He has decided not to renew the contract when it expires.

The downside of international brands is that the endorsement fees are actually not that high. They are mainly based on the celebrity’s fashion sense, making it easier to negotiate other endorsements.

There is no need for Qi Hao to be defined like this now.

An Feng, on the other hand, borrowed a haute couture dress, which made her look particularly formal.

The two walked the red carpet together and got out of the same car.

In order to walk on the red carpet in the fashion circle, Qi Hao even drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom to the starting point of the red carpet.

In fact, using Santana 2000 will make you look more individual.

But Qi Hao is no longer at the rebellious age, so it’s time for him to act cool.

There's no need to hide it.
