Chapter 411 The Matter of Having Children
Recalling how Ms. Liu subtly inquired about the results of their attempts to conceive during the Chinese New Year, Qi Hao was left speechless with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Goodness, it's not just the mother-in-law urging him, even Brother Tongzi is starting to hint, right?

At this moment, An Feng came out of the bathroom, holding a hair dryer, and handed it to Qi Hao familiarly:

"Blow-dry my hair."

Blow-drying your hair is something any girl can do herself.

However, since getting married, An Feng has gotten used to relying on Qi Hao.

After all, Qi Hao is both gentle and patient.

"Do you think we should have a baby?"

Qi Hao took it and asked her while blowing air on her.

"what?"

An Feng didn't hear clearly.

"child……"

Actually, only Ms. Liu was anxious, as was Aunt Qi, who was anxious but dared not utter a sound.

Qi Hao and An Feng are not in a hurry to have children.

Anfeng is still quite childish; he keeps several packs of AD calcium milk in the refrigerator and often carries a bottle around with him.

Qi Hao, on the other hand, enjoys his time with his partner more.

Having children will definitely bring all sorts of inconveniences.

“Great! It’s April now. If I get pregnant today, I can give birth in February. It won’t be hot at all. I’ve heard that the worst thing about childbirth isn’t the cold, it’s the heat, and you can’t even turn on the air conditioning…”

An Feng didn't act shy or embarrassed; instead, he was as enthusiastic as if he were conducting academic research.

Moreover, they seemed eager to try, as if they wanted to unbuckle Qi Hao's belt.

"Well, having a baby isn't that easy, and it's not like you can get pregnant on your first try."

Qi Hao's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat.

If getting pregnant were that easy, there wouldn't be any need for preconception preparation.

Some people try to conceive for several months, while others try for several years.

Those who are particularly unlucky may never have children in their entire lives.

"Ah, that's true."

An Feng seemed somewhat disappointed, and that expression made Qi Hao doubt whether he was capable.

"The more times you do it, the higher the probability will be."

Qi Hao has a good plan.

"Pah, that's enough already. You'd better get to work and give me a baby right now."

An Feng wrapped her hair around Qi Hao's neck.

"Madam, please observe my performance!"

Qi Hao surrendered, and the two playfully wrestled and soon ended up on the bed.

After entering May, Penguin distributed a dividend of HK$0.75 per share, and Qi Hao received a dividend of HK$1245 million for the year.

Moutai distributed 64.19 yuan per 10 shares, and Qi Hao received another 2471 million yuan.

Surprisingly, Apple also paid out dividends this year, probably to mitigate the impact of Steve Jobs' passing.

Based on a share distribution of $2.65, Qi Hao would receive approximately 2722 million RMB.

When the list of celebrity incomes is in the tens of millions, Qi Hao's stock dividend income alone already surpasses theirs.

He no longer participates in the ranking of celebrity income.

Instead, it made it onto the Forbes China Mainland Wealth Ranking.

In fact, Qi Hao didn't even know how this thing was calculated. It showed that his personal wealth was 175 billion RMB, ranking eighteenth.

Above him is Chen Lihua.

That is, the one who actually ate Tang Sanzang's flesh.

It seems that Zhou Chengjian is ranked below Qi Hao. He is the founder of Metersbonwe, and his wealth mainly comes from Metersbonwe.

There's a popular joke on the internet: some college students climb over the wall every day, and one day the principal asked: "What's going on with you? Why do you climb over the wall every day instead of using the main gate?"

A student said to the principal: Metersbonwe, we don't follow the usual path.

They even got Jay Chou to be their spokesperson, so their brand awareness is incredibly high.

It's surprising to many that Qi Hao is able to surpass the owner of Metersbonwe on the wealth list.

Such a comparison makes it more intuitive to realize just how exaggerated a figure personal wealth can be.

Ding Lei's net worth is 185.9 billion, which isn't much more than Qi Hao's.

Zhang Zhidong, the number two figure at Tencent, has 154 billion RMB, ranking even lower than Qi Hao.

Lei Jun ranked 55th with 94 billion.

Aunt Hua's Wang brothers weren't even qualified for the top 100; they were on a completely different level from Qi Hao.

In June, filming for "Qian Xuesen" finally wrapped up.

Qi Hao began filming "Shoplifters".

The system rewards scripts with very comprehensive information, including who wrote the script, who directed it, who played each role, how much box office revenue it generated, and what awards it won.

According to the information provided by the system, "Shoplifters" was written and directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda.

中川雅也、安藤樱、松冈茉优等人主演，2018年6月8日在霓虹上映、8月3日在华夏公映。

It tells the story of a poor family living in the city who, despite often skirting the edge of the law to make a living, still bring warmth to each other in this cold city through their kindness and bonds.

In 2018, the film won the Palme d'Or at the 71st Cannes Film Festival.

The film grossed approximately $6799 million worldwide.

Qi Hao needs a film to help him win Best Picture.

He doesn't need the Palme d'Or, but at least let him win the Golden Horse or Golden Rooster Award for Best Film.

If the film were set in Hong Kong, it wouldn't need many changes; the only real challenge would be casting the right actors.

Fortunately, Qi Hao is now quite famous.

He only needs to post his actor needs, and a large number of actors will voluntarily send him their resumes for him to screen.

Moreover, he himself has a very extensive network of connections.

Since his last filming of "The Man from Nowhere," Qi Hao has returned to Hong Kong to produce another film, where he received a warm welcome from the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Chen Jiashang even promised Qi Hao that if he were to star in the film, he would strongly recommend him for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor.

Qi Hao doesn't believe him for a second.

He probably made such a boast after hearing about the cast of his movie.

If I actually won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor, even if I were a bamboo mat, I would be torn apart.

Moreover, the Hong Kong Film Awards have reached this point without his "contribution"—these people want mainland films to be produced in Hong Kong, but they don't want to give them any benefits.

The male lead in Qi Hao's movie is Liang Jiahui.

Since it's a co-production between Hong Kong and the mainland, it's natural to use some Hong Kong actors.

Behind the scenes, more local Hong Kong personnel were used.

It's like giving someone a chance to make a living.

Incidentally, let the behind-the-scenes staff in the mainland learn some real skills from those in Hong Kong.

Having previously recommended him for a role in "Let the Bullets Fly," Leung Ka-fai readily agreed to take the part.

In addition, he only received five million in salary.

Actors' salaries have risen dramatically in recent years. For top stars, a salary in the tens of millions is now quite normal.

Since "Let the Bullets Fly" became a huge hit in mainland China, Liang Jiahui's popularity has soared.

The female lead was chosen to be Song Jia.

Song Jia has excellent acting skills and is willing to go all out.

She plays Leung Ka-fai's wife.

This character is destined not to be a little girl.

The old lady is Li Mingqi.

The other actors have also found new roles.

An Feng did not appear in the film.

It wasn't that there weren't suitable roles for her, but rather because... she suddenly became pregnant.

Although it's uncertain whether it was the result of the first night we decided to have a child, we were planning to have a child in April and found out we were pregnant in June.

Qi Hao can talk about this with great pride.

He's waiting for others to praise him for being awesome.

Sowing seeds—what a simple thing!
Qi Hao originally planned to take An Feng to Hong Kong to film a movie while taking care of her.

As a result, he was slapped away by both his mother-in-law and his own mother.

The two of them took care of An Feng together, giving Qi Hao no chance to be alone.

Qi Hao suspected that they were on guard against him.

Am I really that much of a beast, not even sparing a pregnant woman?

He didn't really want to leave Anfeng to film in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, the film had already been in preparation for two months, and the personnel, venues, equipment, and everything else had been coordinated.

It's not like Qi Hao suddenly got pregnant.

There's really no reason to waste everyone's time.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start the project.

With the help of Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Zhang Shuping, Zhang Manyu, Liang Jiahui, Li Mingqi and others, Qi Hao first went through the movie in the training space.

So filming it was really not difficult.

His directing team also includes many assistant directors who are good at art films, so this is a good opportunity to train them.

Training Space → Qi Hao → Assistant Director

It was a bit of a hassle, but everyone really learned something.

This is a relationship that is both teacher and friend.

It is much stronger than ordinary interest-based partnerships.

It can be said that Qi Hao's approach is a combination of interests and emotions.

This year, Qi Hao continued to invest in a large number of films.

"Kuiba 2" has secured a new round of investment.

A full fifty million!
With so much money, Wang Chuan upgraded the technical skills of his production team.

In addition, Zhonghao Entertainment provided him with a screenwriting team to help him improve the script and setting, ensuring that the viewing threshold for the second film would not be so high.

This time, a special effects team was involved from the very beginning of the project. At Qi Hao's request, Naughty Ghost Studio provided strong support for this animated film.

In fact, apart from a few live-action movies, the few hundred people at Naughty Ghost are basically working on the animated films "Monkey King: Hero Is Back", "Ne Zha", and "Kuiba".

The special effects team from "Kuiba 2" could easily produce a live-action special effects movie on their own.

Wang Jing, a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, completed "A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart," which was invested in by Zhonghao Entertainment. Although the film was a box office failure, it received very good reviews.

Therefore, he once again secured investment for "The Great Ming Dynasty".

This is yet another movie that seems unlikely to make money.

In fact, Zhonghao Entertainment has invested a lot in movies that don't make money. As long as your script is good enough and has great investment value, you may be able to get money from Zhonghao Entertainment.

The company even invests in documentaries.

One of the assistant directors is a man born in the 1980s named Guo Ke.

He happened to read an article titled "The World's Only Publicly Identified Comfort Woman: Her Son Remains Unmarried," which moved him deeply. He then sought out the elderly woman named Wei Shaolan from the article and decided to document her life.

After receiving the application, Zhonghao Entertainment immediately provided him with the funds for filming.

Just shoot well. Don't worry about not making money or even if it doesn't get published.

The system assigned Qi Hao a task, instructing him to have a sense of social responsibility.

Qi Hao, who is not actually a businessman, has a greater sense of social responsibility than most filmmakers.

Other companies would consider this kind of project a hot potato.

It's not just a matter of not making money; it could even lead to diplomatic conflicts and be targeted by fake Japanese forces.

There are not only fake Japanese soldiers nowadays, but quite a few of them.
