Chapter 38

If one had to distinguish between Tang Yan, Yang Mi, and Liu Shishi, it wouldn't be an easy task.

After all...

Qi Hao casually chose Tang Yan.

Don't misunderstand; he wasn't planning to have an eight-hour battle with Tang Yan at night.

The NPCs chosen previously could still be used.

You only get one training opportunity per task, so of course, you have to choose a training NPC who is strong enough.

The pool now included Zhou Xun, Liu Dehua, Li Lianjie, Li Mingqi, Ren Dahua, Sun Honglei, Zhou Xingxing...

Qi Hao could choose anyone to accompany him for the night.

Then there was the new task.

Seeing "With the help of this system," Qi Hao felt his teeth itching with hatred.

You dog system, if you hadn't been loading for ten years, I wouldn't have had such a difficult time rising to the top.

Ten years, damn it!

Although the system tasks had a certain difficulty, compared to the rewards, that difficulty was nothing.

Just think, if he had had so many good scripts when he first debuted.

As long as he could film one, he could establish his status in the industry and have the ability to create his own projects directly.

Why would he have to work so hard to find resources?

Qi Hao did have a high alcohol tolerance, and he liked to drink, but he definitely wasn't the type to gulp it down.

A little drink is pleasant, but heavy drinking is harmful to the body.

No matter how good your tolerance is, you'll vomit if you drink too much, and you'll end up in the hospital because of it.

Damn it, for the sake of the Santana Phantom 2000, I won't scold the system today.

The new task required Qi Hao to find an acting teacher; this shouldn't be too difficult. No matter what industry it is, as long as there is demand, there will always be someone willing to provide the service.

It's just that the reward is a bit of a pity.

The script "Seeking Gun" is truly a good movie full of Jiang Wen's style.

It allowed Lu Chuan to establish a foothold in the ranks of directors in the entertainment industry overnight.

If Qi Hao had gotten his hands on it early—well, he didn't have a good father, so it didn't seem easy to invite Jiang Wen to star in it.

Unless the script itself could move Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen would see the script and immediately be amazed, thinking this was exactly like something he would write himself.

This child is like me!

Since the task isn't too difficult, let's get it done quickly.

Clear this task so I can move on to the next one.

"Xiao Nan, help me find an acting teacher..."

"Brother Hao! I'll go find one for you right now!" Zhang Nan looked pleasantly surprised, making Qi Hao wonder if he had said something wrong.

Watching Zhang Nan leave as if running, Qi Hao couldn't figure it out even after scratching his head.

In fact, Zhang Nan was also very anxious about constantly forcing his boss to improve.

If the boss refused, there was nothing he could do.

Many people, after achieving some success, are unwilling to suffer and improve anymore.

Seeing that the boss had almost finished reading those books, Zhang Nan hesitated about whether to buy some more for the boss to consolidate his knowledge.

The boss was flipping through books faster and faster, and his brow was relaxing more and more.

At the very least, it showed he was recognizing more and more characters.

Just as he was hesitating, the boss actually took the initiative to propose finding an acting teacher.

Zhang Nan was truly too pleased.

This showed that the boss was in high sync with him, and both knew to take the initiative to improve.

It seems the PUA on the boss is working.

"Sorry, I have a lot of classes recently."

"Teaching Teacher Qi Hao? Oh my, I'm very honored that you thought of me, but unfortunately, something happened at home recently, and I can't get away for the time being. Sorry."

"Me? You should find someone else."

"What do you mean? Damn it, learn how to talk."

After hitting a wall with several consecutive phone calls, Zhang Nan realized he had thought of this task too simply.

He didn't go to discuss it with his boss.

With the boss's IQ, no conclusion would be reached even if they discussed it.

"Brother Tian, are you busy?"

"I'm busy."

"Uh, I have something I'd like to ask your advice on, is it convenient?"

"It's definitely convenient. Didn't I tell you to come to me if you have something? Why are you still asking if I'm busy?"

"It's just, I want to find an acting teacher for the boss..."

"He's the one who asked you to find one, right?"

"How did you know?"

"Heh, and then you found some acting teachers in the industry who follow the crew, and they all rejected you, right?"

Lao Tian didn't answer the question but guessed the reason for Zhang Nan's confusion.

"Yeah, why? Wouldn't teaching Brother Hao increase their popularity?"

Zhang Nan was indeed very confused, especially confused.

"Isn't it obvious? Those acting teachers you found, where do they get the confidence to teach a Best Actor?"

This wealth is indeed sky-high, but you have to be able to catch it.

If you go out and tell people, "Best Actor Qi Hao invited me to teach him," people probably won't think you're awesome, but rather that you're bragging.

Which Best Actor would still look for an acting teacher?

And if you really went to teach Qi Hao and found you couldn't teach him anything.

How embarrassing!

That would mean going to the set to teach, with a bunch of people watching from the side; being "returned" by Qi Hao in full view of everyone would be shameful enough.

Great business opportunities would be affected.

"What's wrong with being a Best Actor? A Best Actor can also improve!"

Zhang Nan felt that there must be a teacher among any three people, and those teachers with rich theoretical knowledge could definitely bring progress to Qi Hao, who had rich practical experience but lacked theory.

Moreover, a Best Actor's teacher doesn't necessarily have to be a Best Actor.

"Then you have to find a teacher with a very high level."

Lao Tian really couldn't imagine Qi Hao improving.

It seems that equipping Qi Hao with an ambitious employee like Zhang Nan actually had an unexpected surprise.

"Is Huang Lei okay?" Zhang Nan thought of this person immediately.

"Forget about him; he looks like he knows everything, but actually he's not proficient in anything. And he's a professional teacher; if you ask him to go to Hengdian with you to teach students, he definitely won't agree easily. Even if he does, it will inevitably be a sky-high price plus helping him hype it up."

Lao Tian rejected him directly and then rejected a few others afterward.

"Brother Tian, do you have any recommendations?" Zhang Nan was convinced.

No matter how much he rolls, studying every day, he couldn't compare to a senior manager like Lao Tian who had been in the industry for many years.

"Wait a moment, let me look. Oh, found it. This person is named Zhang Songwen, professionally trained, has acted in some film and TV dramas, not particularly famous, but his theoretical knowledge is quite solid. He recently established an acting training class, and he's probably worrying about..."

Lao Tian knew many developments in the industry like the back of his hand.

Like this newly established acting training class, when they were spreading business cards everywhere, they would always send him one to show respect, hoping he could use his extensive connections to help introduce some business.

"An actor by trade, is he okay?"

Zhang Nan always wanted to find the best for his boss to maximize the improvement of his boss's acting skills.

And Zhang Songwen, he really hadn't heard of him.

"Make do with it. The main thing is that he's cheap. He has some fame in the south and acted in something called 'Son-in-Law'. You can look it up and study it. I remember he was able to get the role because the production team wanted him to help train other actors on set."

Lao Tian took a photo of the business card and sent it to Zhang Nan.

He was too lazy to care about this matter.

He was really glad he found a new manager for Qi Hao, otherwise, these messy things would have fallen on him.

Improve?

Heh, he must have gone crazy again.

If he really wanted to improve, ten years after his debut, he should have found an acting teacher to systematically study acting long ago.

Was it necessary to wait until after winning the Best Actor award to take action?

It's highly likely he's sick, and sick quite badly.

"Zhang Songwen International Acting Studio... wow, the name is quite intimidating."

Zhang Nan looked at the business card Lao Tian sent and called the contact number on it.

International Acting Studio...

It was indeed more of a gimmick than reality. After Zhang Songwen finished acting in "Son-in-Law," the dramas he could get were still few and far between.

Nowadays, the entertainment industry has a serious polarization in pay. Zhang Songwen acted in dramas like "Empress Feng of Northern Wei," "Fearless," and "The Second Face," which were lukewarm, and they weren't important roles, so he couldn't fill his stomach at all.

In his most desperate times, he worked as a floor manager, coordinator, and editor on set.

Over thirty, he had nothing.

Failure is the mother of success, but unfortunately, success doesn't recognize anyone.

This brother was very anxious inside, most afraid of friends calling to ask what he was busy with recently. He was embarrassed to say he was doing odd jobs on set, so he could only pretend to be doing well by saying he was looking at a few scripts.

Two more years passed just like that.

He was thirty-two years old this year, at the age of a rich man, but without the ability of a rich man.

Urgently seeking a way out, he established the "Zhang Songwen International Acting Studio," dedicated to the research of film and television acting techniques and method acting.

However, in recent years, the 96-grade star class and 02-grade star class, professionally trained stars, began to explode, which also led to the vigorous development of the art exam training industry.

Training classes emerged one after another, and the industry was rolling fiercely.

His newly established small studio, besides spreading business cards everywhere, couldn't actually do anything.

As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Suddenly receiving Zhang Nan's call, Zhang Songwen agreed without hesitation.

Teaching a Best Actor, the pressure was indeed very great.

But Zhang Songwen felt that he had some things that Qi Hao might indeed be lacking.

As for the "flipping the car" that other teachers were worried about.

He had nothing left to lose, so what car was there to flip?

Maybe while he became a joke, he also boosted the studio's fame.

Zhang Songwen took a car overnight to get there.

When he followed Zhang Nan to the set, Qi Hao had finally reached a big scene.

It was currently filming time.

The production team prioritized filming Yang Mi's scenes so she would have time to run to the "Dream of the Red Chamber" production team.

"..." Zhang Songwen squatted on the side and watched for a while, his head full of confusion.

"Is there any problem?" Zhang Nan was puzzled.

He had a pretty good impression of Zhang Songwen, feeling that this person was very pragmatic and ambitious, and the temporary lesson plan he proposed also looked quite good.

"Just this scene, with Teacher Qi Hao's acting, does he need an acting teacher?"

That's outrageous!

Zhang Songwen felt Qi Hao's acting was okay; after all, he had won the Golden Rooster Best Actor award, so he must belong to the elite level among this generation of young people.

He guessed that Qi Hao might have encountered a scene that was particularly difficult to film.

So, not being professionally trained, he wanted to get some support from a professionally trained teacher.

However, Zhang Songwen looked left and right, and couldn't see what kind of acting this "Paladin 3" needed.

On the contrary, the people acting opposite Qi Hao were more indescribable than the next.

They were the ones who should be looking for an acting teacher!
