Chapter 14: You

As for the reward…

I can only continue to "hehe."

The script "Don't Talk to Strangers" is indeed very good; it made Feng Yuanzheng famous.

But he most likely already regrets becoming famous in such a way.

And that ten thousand yuan.

Saying "I wouldn't even bother picking up ten thousand yuan if it fell on the ground because I earn more in the time it takes to bend over" is indeed bragging.

But Qi Hao earns around five million for a single endorsement.

Ten thousand yuan is truly not worthy of being called the "starting capital for the career" of a Best Actor like him.

However, this reward made him discover something.

That is, task rewards aren't necessarily limited to just two items; besides the "attribute + script" pattern, it's possible to get other things.

For example, money.

As for how the money would be given, Qi Hao consulted the system, and the system indicated that it would become Qi Hao's personal property through regular channels and reasonable methods.

In short, it would enter his bank card.

Spend it boldly and confidently!

Then there's the training NPC provided by this task; these three options are a bit of a pity.

Qi Hao was pestered by Xiang Zuo and couldn't get close to the veteran actors.

During the premiere, the veteran actors sat further away, Qi Hao was too far from them, and they didn't attend the celebration banquet after the movie finished.

So, he didn't get to rub shoulders with the veteran actors, but instead was given a Xiang Zuo.

Since the NPC in the training space has nothing to do with the real person, Qi Hao has no need to beat him up all night.

As for Fu Jing, although she looks quite good, Qi Hao isn't familiar with her work.

And he couldn't possibly drag someone's sister to train for "small movies."

Fortunately, there's still Li Lianjie.

Qi Hao is going to film "Chinese Paladin 3" in a while, and the character biography given to him seems to be a sword-wielding hero, so there should be quite a few action scenes.

Perhaps he can use a night of study to brush up.

Letting him be the male lead alongside Hu Ge, he certainly doesn't want to be outshone by Hu Ge.

Whether it's dramatic acting or action scenes, he must crush him.

Qi Hao took a shower, changed his clothes, went out, poured himself a glass of warm water, and said while drinking:

"I attended a banquet today and heard something; you judge whether we need to handle the PR."

Although saying it out loud might lead to being mocked, this kind of thing definitely isn't something that can be treated as if it never happened just by pretending not to know.

"What is it?" Lao Tian became serious.

The two of them had just left Ziwen and had to be vigilant about many things at all times.

No matter how bad Ziwen is, it is still a proper entertainment company.

The company has all kinds of departments, and there are people following up on any movement regarding their artists.

"I met a woman today..." Qi Hao found it a bit hard to speak.

"Are you involved in a scandal with someone again? Damn, are you a stud or what?"

Lao Tian felt very exhausted.

If he weren't with Qi Hao all day, he would suspect that this guy was keeping several wives outside.

However, if it's just a scandal, that's fine.

He's already used to it anyway.

"No, I met someone named Fu Jing at the banquet today, and from her mouth..."

"From her mouth? Did you two kiss?"

"Shut up, you," Qi Hao rolled his eyes and continued: "She said there's a rumor in the circle that as long as one has a scandal with me, it's very easy to become popular. Hmm, it's equivalent to saying I have a 'fortune-bringing fate for women,' that's roughly the meaning. Have you heard of this rumor before?"

"Pfft..." Lao Tian sprayed his drink directly.

Fortune-bringing fate for women?

Hahaha, oh my god, it's hilarious.

"Ao Bai, bite him for me!" Qi Hao angrily commanded the cat to fight.

Ao Bai glanced at them and continued lying on its mat.

Qi Hao couldn't help but laugh along too.

"This actually doesn't count for much; some who have had scandals with you have indeed become popular, but there are also many who have long since disappeared. This rumor has absolutely no scientific basis."

After Lao Tian finished laughing, he shook his head.

If Qi Hao really had such ability, he wouldn't need to work so hard filming; he could just have scandals with female stars all day long.

That would definitely be the most awesome "Prince Charming."

"What's important isn't whether it's true or false, but whether others believe it. This is inherently a very superstitious thing."

Qi Hao was worried; thinking of his tragic fate, he felt that this life was truly a bit colorful.

Whether old or young, beautiful or ugly, everyone wants to stir up some scandal with him.

It will seriously affect his search for a girlfriend.

Whose girlfriend could tolerate their boyfriend cheating all day long?

Just going out to buy a cup of milk tea, you can run into several of your scandal girlfriends.

Talk about a hammer, break up immediately.

"I think there are pros and cons; at least it doesn't count as a PR crisis."

Lao Tian has been helping Qi Hao handle scandal-related matters for years and is actually long used to it.

With this kind of rumor, at most there will just be more scandals.

Thinking on the bright side, at least the rumor doesn't say that regardless of whether it's a male or female star, as long as they have a scandal with Qi Hao, they will quickly become famous.

"Lao Tian, I have something I want to tell you..." Qi Hao put aside the "fortune-bringing fate" matter; he decided it was better to do the task first.

"Go ahead, finish quickly, I want to go to sleep." Lao Tian actually wasn't as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

Their studio is about to be established, and they need to staff every aspect.

If Qi Hao's "fortune-bringing fate" matter intensifies, the studio must increase investment in PR and marketing, otherwise, they won't be able to clean up Qi Hao's mess at all.

The benefit of a brokerage company is the reasonable allocation of resources.

Correspondingly, a personal studio inevitably faces huge waste in human resources unless it cooperates with a brokerage company for a certain degree of "affiliation."

"I want to find a new agent..." Qi Hao decided to be straightforward.

"What?" Lao Tian didn't understand at first.

You already have an agent, why look for a new one?

You have an agent, and you can't have two, so how can you find a "new" agent?

But he quickly reacted, jumped off the sofa, pointed a trembling finger at Qi Hao, and denounced him:

"Good for you, Qi Hao, you are a ruthless one, you hide deeper than anyone!"

Angry and shivering, that's his current state.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bear to part with Ao Bai and hadn't sorted out the custody rights for Ao Bai, he would have wanted to rush out the door right now.

"Stop, stop, stop, what is all this?" Qi Hao held his forehead.

He felt that Lao Tian was somewhat ill; he didn't give people a chance to finish speaking before he started jumping around.

"You're going to fire me, fine, I worked so hard to raise you..."

"Get lost!"

"Anyway, now that your wings are hardened, you want to separate from me. Don't you think there's a big problem with your character?"

Lao Tian started thinking hard.

Tomorrow, he would go to the media to expose Qi Hao's dark secrets.

For example, he isn't the cold, aloof male god fans imagine; in private, he's a total idiot and especially likes to roast people.

This lethality doesn't seem enough.

What other explosive dark secrets are there?

Damn, why can't I remember? Could it be that there really aren't any?

It's all my fault for protecting him too well.

"After the studio is established, how will you have time to be my agent every day? Of course, we need to recruit a new one."

Qi Hao felt this was the only way to complete the task.

Parting ways with Lao Tian is impossible; they have years of friendship, and he's used to working with him.

"Seems... seems to make some sense," Lao Tian's voice grew lower, but he quickly became righteous again and shouted: "Can't you just finish it in one breath?"

"Did you give me the chance?" Qi Hao wasn't intimidated at all.

"Meow!"

"If we really part ways one day," Lao Tian emphasized, "I'm saying if, I'm taking Ao Bai with me."

"On what grounds? Ao Bai is my cat!" Qi Hao was amused by his anger.

He had never seen such a brain-dead fool; instead of considering "N+1" or "2N" after being fired, he actually wanted to kidnap the boss's cat.

"I've been the one feeding Ao Bai, I took it for vaccinations, I took it for deworming, and I even bought the cat food and canned food..." Lao Tian had sufficient reasons to fight for custody of Ao Bai.

"Hehe, you were also the one who took it to get neutered."

Qi Hao gloated; just because of this, Ao Bai often bared its teeth at Lao Tian, so it would be strange if it followed Lao Tian.

Unlike me, I only know how to cherish the cat.

"Damn!"

Lao Tian carried Ao Bai back to the room to sleep.

Qi Hao also went back to carry out tonight's training activity with Li Lianjie.

Choosing Li Lianjie out of the three was mainly to train for action scenes, and the works chosen were also mainly types with exciting fights.

He wouldn't force it for dramatic acting.

For example, the duel with world lightweight boxing champion Zhou Bili in "Fist of Legend" is the most classic segment in the history of action movies.

The system would assist Qi Hao's movements, otherwise, he would have no possibility of fighting Li Lianjie.

Looking at the wise "Li Lianjie" in front of him, Qi Hao couldn't help but ask a couple of curious questions:

"Is Li Zhi really that good, making you abandon your family and children?"

"That foundation you set up, is it really for charity?"

Unfortunately, the training NPC couldn't answer such questions at all; he just smiled and said: "You can ask him such questions in person; I think he can definitely make up some reasons to answer you. And, as your training NPC, I think you can maintain some respect for me."

"Please give me your guidance, Teacher Li, but the point is to train me, can you not beat me up!"

"There are no shortcuts in action training, only hardship and risk; effort and reward are directly proportional."

The NPC opened his five fingers, then clenched them into a fist, and rushed towards Qi Hao.

Qi Hao this night...

Was beaten very miserably.

Because in Li Lianjie's movies, even if he gets beaten up in the early stages, he will definitely make a comeback in the end, making the villain howl in pain.

And Qi Hao is playing these villains.

Fortunately, those who have fought Li Lianjie over the years are basically masters of various sects, and Qi Hao gained a lot while getting beaten up.

He feels that he can go act in action movies now.
