Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 62: What a strong taste! (asking for monthly votes)
When Qi Hao finished reading the script, he discovered that Li Dawei was also reading a book, and it was the book that he bought but only glanced at and never read again.

The taste is really strong!

Qi Hao was a little worried, afraid that he would lead a middle-aged director who had connections and resources and whose skills were not too bad astray.

As a shareholder of Penguin, I feel more or less involved in the book "The Private Treasure of the Domineering President".

How can a director like you have such a sense of immersion?

“Director Li…Director Li…Director Li!”

Qi Hao raised his voice to wake Li Dawei from reading.

"Haha, have you finished reading it?"

If it were in the past, Li Dawei would have questioned Qi Hao. After all, how could a junior high school student like you see things so quickly?

However, when he realized that Qi Hao was a book lover like him, he would never look down on Qi Hao again.

"Almost..." Qi Hao chose to continue to keep a low profile.

After finally being able to be high-profile, he ended up offending Su Mang.

Of course, if he dies, he dies. Even if Su Mang is the editor-in-chief of Bazaar, he can't do anything to him. The four young actors, the movie emperor, the Penguin shareholder, the Huayi shareholder, the agent of the coal boss... Do you want a group fight or a one-on-one fight?
"Haha, have you read all these books?" Li Dawei pointed to the bookcase with a smile.

"almost……"

Qi Hao looked at the book "The Private Treasure of the Domineering President" in his hand. He had finished reading all the other books except that one, so it was not wrong to say that he had finished reading almost all of them.

"You are considered to be well-educated among celebrities. I have never met many people who really love to read..." Li Dawei muttered a few words and asked seriously, "What do you think of the script?"

"Well, I think the script is good and I'm very interested, but I don't know when Director Li plans to shoot it."

If he hadn't had so few decent scripts, Qi Hao wouldn't have insisted on continuing to get involved in "The Siege of the City in October". After all, it was a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and it could all be lost if he wasn't careful.

"The time has not been decided yet. There are not many actors. We can try to accommodate your schedule. It's a pity that we have a donkey to shoot this movie, otherwise it may be finished in 10 to 20 days."

Li Dawei himself didn’t know how long it would take to finish the filming.

Since animals and children are difficult to control in terms of emotions and acting skills, there is a saying in the film and television industry: "Don't work with animals and children."

"There really is a donkey, a real donkey?" Qi Hao was quite surprised.

People in Tianjin are not unfamiliar with donkeys. After all, donkey meat hotpot is a daily delicacy.

Just like the roujiamo in Shaanxi and the ramen in Lanzhou.

The two chatted for a while and finally had to talk about money.

If Li Dawei didn't need Qi Hao to reduce his pay, there would naturally be no need for them, a director and an actor, to discuss such matters.

It's really disgraceful.

"This movie raised three million in investment, and it cost five hundred thousand to hire a reviewer, which means there was only a five hundred thousand budget to hire actors... You see..."

Li Dawei looked very embarrassed.

The commentary is definitely worth half a million, but so is Qi Hao.

What he meant was not even to give Qi Hao 500,000.

Five hundred thousand to hire an actor...and it's impossible to hire only Qi Hao as an actor, there are also donkeys, and those two donkeys also cost money.

Li Dawei is almost trying to get away with it.

Qi Hao played a supporting role in "The Siege of the City in October" and also received a salary of two million yuan, which was all a friendship price.

Even for his role in "Tengu", he received 500,000 yuan.

However, Li Dawei did not bully Qi Hao. Many art films were able to start shooting only by squeezing the actors' pay.

Therefore, low-budget art films like to use amateurs.

A complete amateur who has never acted in a movie can earn the salary of the leading male role with just tens of thousands of yuan.

It would be cheaper if you ask your relatives for help.

"Director Li, how about this? I'll help you get another 2 million in investment, and you'll give me 1 million as a salary."

Before filming "Tengu", Qi Hao was eager to transform into an actor.

Now Qi Hao is not only a popular actor, but also a movie emperor.

No matter it is an art film or a commercial film, if the status of the actors is improved, their prices will inevitably be raised.

If you don't lift it and I don't lift it, how can we lift it in the future?

"Tengu" earned 500,000 yuan, and this "The Story of Two Donkeys" earned 200,000 yuan, so the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor was taken in vain, which was an invalid promotion.

"Add two million investment?" Li Dawei hesitated.

You can’t make a movie without money, but the more money you have the better it doesn’t mean. After all, if the box office is low, the more you invest, the more you lose.

However, with an additional two million, the budget increased from three million to five million.

Removing Qi Hao's pay, even if it's just an extra 1.2 million, will have an immediate impact on improving the quality of the film.

"Yes, if the budget doesn't increase, then I don't want any salary, just give me 20% of the movie shares."

Qi Hao has been in the circle for many years and is very familiar with all the tricks.

If it was a movie with a budget of 300 million, Qi Hao's 20% share would be equivalent to a salary of 60, which is more than "Tengu".

It makes sense. But in fact, it is difficult for such a film to recoup its costs unless it can win international awards and sell overseas copyrights.

Therefore, the 20% that Qi Hao wants is most likely not much money.

All I want is a status.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the investors. This time I'll count as your honor, brother. Thank you."

Li Dawei also understood that Qi Hao was giving him a friendship price.

He could also understand Qi Hao's concerns.

Either take what you deserve, or just treat it as a favor and not take a penny.

"Brother Li, don't be polite. We are all here for the movie!" Qi Hao thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't you look for Huang Xiaoming at the banquet that day?"

"I did. He seemed very interested, but he was hesitant..."

It was obvious that Li Dawei went to attend the premiere of "The Forbidden Kingdom" to scout for actors. Qi Hao and Huang Xiaoming were his targets.

Both of them have some acting skills.

If they can perform for a cheaper price, the movie may not lose money thanks to their huge fan base.

"So that's how it is." Qi Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought Brother Xiao Ming was going to risk it all, but it turned out he just couldn't.

Xiao Ming, as someone who has been through it, my advice to you is, don’t come.

After you pass this village, I'll wait for you at the next village.

Qi Hao and Li Dawei had a preliminary agreement on cooperation and took him out for a drink.

Deep feelings, a dull mouth.

In the entertainment industry, wine tables and beds are the two fastest ways to enhance relationships.

What a pity for Huang Xiaoming.

Qi Hao finished work at around three o'clock today. He had originally planned to use this time to watch "The Deer and the Cauldron".

This TV series has been aired for several episodes.

Qi Hao was "fortunate" enough to watch four incoherent episodes and found them to be quite eye-catching.

I don’t know if it’s because of the jealousy among colleagues, but Qi Hao always feels that Huang Xiaoming in “The Deer and the Cauldron” is too greasy, and his smile is extremely vulgar. It is not the mundane habits described by Jin Yong at all, but rather a weird and strange character, without any ruffian spirit.

Qi Hao felt that if he were to act... it would be a bit difficult.

The main reason is that both he and Huang Xiaoming have relatively regular facial features, so they are not naturally capable of playing this kind of ruffian-like role.

Being born ugly like Jordan Chan has great advantages.

In addition, Wei Xiaobao is indeed very lustful, but Huang Xiaoming's lust only lingers on the surface of vulgarity, rather than the kind of lust that comes naturally from the inside out.

When faced with the coercion of someone with great martial arts skills, Huang Xiaoming should have been afraid and worried, but he showed his fear with an obscene smile, which made people wonder if he was laughing while acting.

In addition, the play itself has problems.

The director and screenwriter always seem to want to attract attention with big-scale actions, and the beauties they have selected with great difficulty are made to look like special professionals.

With the broadcast of the drama "The Deer and the Cauldron", Qi Hao and Huang Xiaoming have also been compared by many people.

In particular, the Jin Yong dramas in which they each starred have become the main material for comparison.

Qi Hao's Yang Guo...

Huang Xiaoming's Wei Xiaobao...

Both of them are popular idols with large numbers of fans, so there won't be a one-sided situation. The Deer and the Cauldron will still be sold for the second round, so a one-sided situation is not allowed.

So, there is a lot of give and take on the Internet.

But any discerning person can see that Huang Xiaoming's drama was ineffective this time.

I thought I would be able to turn things around this year, but I didn't expect it to stick to the pot.

At least for him, it did not exceed Qi Hao's expectations.

He played Wei Xiaobao because he wanted to compete with Qi Hao's Yang Guo, to determine who was better, and to decide life and death.

In addition, Qi Hao won the Best Actor Award for "Tengu" and filmed "The Warlords" with Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua. His momentum clearly surpassed Huang Xiaoming.

There is news in the circle that Huang Xiaoming is hooking up with Chen Kaige.

There is a high probability that he will star in Chen Kaige's new film "The Orphan of Zhao", and he is determined to make a comeback on the big screen.

Because of this, he is very likely to back out of playing the villain role that he originally planned to play.

Not everyone can get rid of their idol image like Qi Hao.

Besides, Qi Hao only played an ugly role, he didn’t play a villain. Both Li Tiangou and Jiang Wuyang had very decent images.

Those who have died know that if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.

If you play the villain badly, you will be ridiculed. If you play the villain well, you will be beaten.
