Chapter 10: Must hug the thigh (seeking rewards)

"Since we have left Ziwun, there will definitely be many brokerage companies coming to find us. Old Tian, what do you think?"

Teacher Qi Hao respects his manager very much. Of course, this kind of thing should be discussed by two people.

"My suggestion... why not set up your own studio like Fan Xuexue."

Old Tian has been considering this problem, but has never found a particularly good choice.

Teacher Qi Hao is not a newcomer to the entertainment industry.

There are only a few brokerage companies that can accommodate him.

And these brokerage companies, either management is not professional enough, and after entering, they are easily dragged down by this management model while obtaining resources.

Or the company's pits are full, and a group of people are fighting for food. If you want to stand out, you must pay more effort.

In addition, these big companies have more or less some drawbacks.

Teacher Qi Hao looks gentle, but he has never given an inch on matters of principle. For this reason, Old Tian has been broken-hearted over the years.

Ziwun can only be considered small and medium-sized in artist brokerage, and still makes him exhausted.

Once joining a big company, Old Tian will be even more powerless.

He doesn't know if he can fight against those high-level executives of big companies.

In recent years, capital has become stronger and stronger. The disadvantage of setting up a studio is that it is easy to be squeezed out by these capitals and cannot get particularly good resources.

However, Teacher Qi Hao has now stood at the high position of entertainment industry stars, and possesses a huge number of fans himself. Even without the endorsement of these big companies, he doesn't have to worry about having no resources.

At most, it's just a bit difficult.

But the studio has many benefits, not only ensuring the artist's artistic pursuit and the maximization of commercial interests, but also helping the artist make more flexible choices according to his career planning.

Especially since Teacher Qi Hao is acting like he's sick lately, constantly pulling some bizarre stunts.

It's not suitable to go to any company.

So, don't harm others.

"You are right, then set up a studio, and recruit some people, at least gather a team." Teacher Qi Hao paused and said: "Old Tian, I trust you the most, and I am most relieved to hand over the studio to you."

"Hehe~"

The next step must be to start drawing big cakes.

Old Tian, as a cow and horse, knows the routines of bosses very well.

Sure enough, the words behind can be summarized as, follow me, I guarantee you will be as happy as an animal.

Old Tian wanted to set up a studio, and Teacher Qi Hao contacted Gao Yang himself.

The supervisor said that Old Tian followed Teacher Qi Hao for more than ten years, which is actually inaccurate. Old Tian followed Teacher Qi Hao during *The Sequel to Journey to the West*.

Before that, Teacher Qi Hao relied on himself for everything.

At that time, he didn't know if others had a system, but he was very sure that most people didn't.

So, he felt that he was the chosen one, and was full of confidence in everything.

It was precisely because of this enterprising spirit that he slowly stood out.

It can also be said that although the system did not load successfully, it also gave the sixteen-year-old boy a lot of confidence.

Gao Yang readily agreed to Teacher Qi Hao's somewhat absurd request.

He changed the opening time to this weekend. Anyway, the place had been decorated and ready to open at any time.

At most, it was a bit hasty, and some arrangements were too late.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't just have this one place, these arrangements can be put in other places opening next week.

Being able to invite Teacher Qi Hao, this popular young actor, is more useful than inviting two second-rate singers.

By the way, I can also reminisce with old friends.

"Brother Yang!" Teacher Qi Hao looked at the other party's aging face and greeted him very politely.

At that time, he was held by the rich woman, and only felt a burst of disgust in his heart.

Then he didn't think much and shook it off fiercely.

The rich woman was rejected and naturally wouldn't give up easily, and even threatened to ban Teacher Qi Hao.

Teacher Qi Hao knew she didn't have such ability, but he also had to have a headache about how to go in the future. He cursed the system that was still loading in his heart. In the three years of entering the industry, he had the idea of retreating for the first time.

It was Gao Yang, this "big brother," who saved him.

Gao Yang looked at Teacher Qi Hao, who was very different from the past in both appearance and temperament, and was very moved even though he could often see him on TV.

Time walked away silently for another five years.

"Tsk tsk, it's really different. Come, sit down. You came a bit early, do you want to have a drink?"

"Then I will definitely accompany you."

Teacher Qi Hao removed some of his usual smoothness in front of Gao Yang, his former savior.

Of course, he is not a silly white sweet.

If he were to completely pour his heart out just because the other party had helped him once, he would have been cycled through by wealthy women many times over by now.

"Brother Yang, please order."

Gao Yang helped Teacher Qi Hao out of the siege just by hand back then.

Didn't expect that Teacher Qi Hao, who had already achieved success, still remembered.

Knowing that he was coming back to open a night venue, he actually took the initiative to come over and help him stand on the stage.

"No, no, I'm just a small star." Teacher Qi Hao said modestly.

He found that Gao Yang seemed to have misunderstood something.

He found a place to sing on stage to do

That's true too.

As a popular celebrity, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to stand on stage at a bar or nightclub.

Since it's impossible, one can only interpret his motivation as repaying a favor.

This isn't easy to explain, nor is it necessary to explain; if he wants to be touched, let him be touched.

"In front of me, there's no need to be so humble. Actually, I invited you here today for something else besides singing."

Gao Yang swirled the wine glass in his hand; without the neon lights, the liquid took on a faint golden hue.

He started his business by opening a small tavern, but in reality, he doesn't actually like drinking.

His tolerance is so poor that he gets dizzy after just one glass of beer.

"Brother Yang, just give your orders."

Teacher Qi Hao nodded. He arrived a bit early, and the bar staff were still setting up the venue for the evening. The two of them sat in a corner, able to see the endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles outside the window.

The afterglow of the sunset burned on the horizon, draping the city in a suit of golden armor.

"I've made a lot of money these past few years, probably... never mind, it's quite a lot, and there's also money from some other friends..."

Gao Yang didn't state an exact figure, but those who know, know.

These days, if you're in the coal business and don't have a few hundred million, you'd be embarrassed to say you've even entered the industry.

Someone like Gao Yang, who has the financial power and can also build good relationships widely, must have at least several billion after a few years.

And most of it is cash flow.

But what's the use of telling himself this?

Teacher Qi Hao doesn't understand.

Surely he isn't planning to give all this money to him.

He heard Gao Yang has a daughter, though he doesn't know how old she is.

"In the coal industry, don't look at how many people are still rushing into it headlong; in reality, there aren't many good days left."

Gao Yang put down his wine glass, looking somewhat lost.

This is a kind of loneliness and desolation unique to billionaires that Teacher Qi Hao cannot understand.

"Is there anything I can help with, Brother Yang?" Teacher Qi Hao asked straightforwardly.

Just for the fact that Gao Yang once protected his chastity, he would try his best to help, provided it didn't involve him breaking the law or committing crimes.

Money laundering or anything like that, he definitely won't do.

"I plan to invest a portion of this money into real estate and a portion into the entertainment industry..." Gao Yang looked at Teacher Qi Hao and said, "Whether it's running a venue or mining coal, I hold one concept, which is to let professionals do professional work, but I don't really trust those people."

"You want me to introduce reliable people to you?" Teacher Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Where are there any reliable people? In the face of sufficiently large interests, no one can be reliable."

"Haha~" Gao Yang patted Teacher Qi Hao on the shoulder and said approvingly, "Little brother, after being in this for a few years, you've matured much more than before."

"I'm just not as naive anymore," Teacher Qi Hao smiled.

But in reality, his heart wasn't as calm as he appeared.

Several billion.

Even if this brother only took one-tenth to invest in the entertainment industry, it would definitely be a huge sum.

Capital has become increasingly powerful in recent years.

They have all started seeking to go public and expand their territory.

When a project comes out, it's stuffed with all sorts of well-connected people; it's extremely difficult for an ordinary person to get ahead.

Fan Xuexue established a personal studio, which looks like she's striking out on her own, but what kind of "striking out on her own" is that?

She not only maintains a close relationship with Hua Yi, with collaborative projects from time to time, but she has also latched onto several big shots.

Otherwise, it would be hard for her to survive, let alone be as successful as she is now.

Teacher Qi Hao's personal studio must also latch onto a big backer.

His and Laotian's idea was to lean the studio toward Bona, Hua Yi, or emerging internet capital.

But leaning too close makes it very easy to be constrained by capital.

He didn't expect that Brother Gao, whom he thought had been in prison, would return like a king and become a billionaire.

This gave Teacher Qi Hao a new choice.

"I don't trust them, but I trust you, Teacher Qi Hao. So many years have passed, and from a nobody, you've become a big star while remaining so clean. You are a person of principle."

Gao Yang looked at Teacher Qi Hao eagerly.

This young man's eyes were still as clear as they were back then.

At that time, it was because of these eyes that he not only cleared the trouble for Teacher Qi Hao on the spot but also declared afterward that Teacher Qi Hao was his friend.

"Besides being an actor, I don't know how to do anything else." Although Teacher Qi Hao wanted to find a backer, he wouldn't make reckless promises.

Offending Zi Wen would at most affect his resources, or lead to him retiring from the industry.

Offending someone like Gao Yang...

It might possibly endanger his life.

Is a venue something an ordinary person can open? Is coal something an ordinary person can mine?

"You know more than I do. Now, when others bring a script for me to look at and ask if I should invest, I don't know how to judge it." Gao Yang pointed to the busy bar and asked, "Why do you think I opened this bar?"
