Chapter 5: I and the second sister-in-law? (seeking monthly tickets and rewards)

Teacher Qi Hao bought a house in the capital.

He has been in the circle for many years and doesn't mess around. It is reasonable to buy such a large flat in the city center with the money he earned.

At this time, he and Old Tian are eating spicy sticks in the spacious living room.

One for you, one for me, one bite for you, one bite for me...

Although he is full of dissatisfaction with Teacher Qi Hao and wishes to find someone to hack him to death, Old Tian still bought almost all the spicy stick products on the market.

He even invited a professional organization to do a hygiene evaluation.

The goal of the two is to find a spicy stick that is both hygienic and delicious, and then help shoot an advertisement and do a short-term endorsement.

Teacher Qi Hao cherishes his feathers and is not willing to earn just any money.

There are many pitfalls in food endorsements these days. If you are not careful, you will endorse garbage products, which will not only damage your own reputation but also pit consumers who trust you.

Whether it is hygienic or not, professional evaluation agencies will give opinions.

But whether it is delicious or not, you must try it to know.

A bag of spicy sticks is opened, the two eat one stick each, and then give a score on the paper.

After rinsing their mouths, they go to taste the next bag.

"This one won't work, this one is too salty."

Teacher Qi Hao ate half a stick and couldn't eat it anymore. He waited for a while before taking the new product handed over by Old Tian.

"This one seems okay."

"No, this one is too spicy. I guess my chrysanthemum will hurt tomorrow."

"Can you not say such things in my house? I don't know what people will think if they hear it."

"Fuck, I'm willing to accompany you to eat spicy sticks, you should be happy."

"This is unfair to the products behind. If you are full, it won't be fragrant."

"What can be done? Hey, this spicy stick is not bad."

"Give me one."

Teacher Qi Hao tasted it, and the taste was indeed very good.

In the case that the two had already eaten half a stomach of spicy sticks, it could still make them feel good. This spicy stick called "Little Xiao Xiao Xiao Fei Gun" brought surprises properly.

"Do you want to eat the rest?"

Old Tian looked at the pile of unopened ones on the ground, and his stomach began to ache faintly.

"I think we should give other brands a chance. At least we should be fair." Teacher Qi Hao opened another bag.

"Then you eat it!" Old Tian announced a strike.

"Cough, cough, I think this Little Xiao Xiao Xiao Fei Gun is not bad. There is really no need to try others." Teacher Qi Hao began to have a headache about how to deal with these spicy sticks.

If there were a girlfriend, it would be fine.

When not in use, it can also be used as a trash can—a junk food digester.

"I'll look for the test report of this spicy stick. Let me see, yo, it's quite good. This is one of the few products that can be rated as excellent."

"Then this one. You go contact it. Regardless of whether you endorse it or not, the point is to arrange for me to shoot an advertisement."

Teacher Qi Hao looked at the time. He was going to the China Film Building to attend the press conference of *The Warlords*.

"Are you going alone?" Old Tian was not very relieved.

Their team originally had five people, two of whom were from Ziwun. Now that Teacher Qi Hao chose not to renew, those two were returned.

There was also an old man who originally joined Ziwun with Teacher Qi Hao.

However, he stood on Ziwun's side in the tug-of-war between Teacher Qi Hao and Ziwun, and acted as an undercover for Ziwun, and was kicked by Old Tian.

Now Teacher Qi Hao only has Old Tian by his side.

"I'll wear a military coat!" After Teacher Qi Hao starred in *Romantic Life*, he liked to wear a military coat in winter.

And wear a hat and mask, no one could recognize him.

He even dared to take the bus in this outfit.

Old Tian contacted the manufacturer of Little Xiao Xiao Xiao Fei Gun spicy sticks, and they didn't believe at all that Teacher Qi Hao wanted to endorse their products.

"Uh, do you know which investment party is behind our factory?"

Are scammers so unparticular now?

If it were a smaller star, the manufacturer could still be moved.

Moreover, endorsements are rarely initiated by stars to the brand side.

"Which investment party you have, how would I know? In short, I am not a scammer. How about we meet and talk? Teacher Qi Hao is going to attend *The Warlords* press conference today. How about tomorrow?"

Saying more nonsense is not as good as meeting directly.

"The Teacher Qi Hao you mentioned, are you sure it's the Teacher Qi Hao who played Yang Guo in *The Return of the Condor Heroes*?"

Old Tian was so confident, and insisted on meeting in person, so the Little Xiao Xiao Xiao Fei Gun manufacturer reduced some vigilance.

Although they couldn't understand it, they wouldn't lose anything if they saw the rabbit before throwing the eagle.

But the problem was not that simple. The factory director came with a twist:

"Actually, our factory is about to go bankrupt."

"Ah? Your spicy sticks taste quite good. Why are you going bankrupt? And didn't you just say there is some investment party?"

Old Tian lived with a sand sculpture all day long, and was also confused.

"It's that our investment party, China Resources, is unwilling to continue investing, so we are going bankrupt. As for why we are losing money..." The factory director said helplessly: "For the sake of deliciousness and hygiene, we are all using real materials, and the cost cannot be pressed down, so naturally we can't go on."

"Then you..." Old Tian had a headache.

He looked at the pile of spicy sticks on the floor, and really didn't want to try them anymore.

He didn't want to eat spicy sticks for the rest of his life.

"Originally, I planned to go bankrupt, but if Teacher Qi Hao is really willing to endorse... then I think our factory can still be rescued."

Although the factory director hadn't completely dispelled his doubts, he was constantly convincing himself in his heart that this was the last chance for the factory to survive.

Teacher Qi Hao debuted at fifteen or sixteen, and with his super high looks and well-behaved personality, he was deeply loved by mother fans.

After he grew up, he expanded the age group of female fans to those as old as eighty-eight and as young as those who hadn't graduated from elementary school.

If he is really willing to endorse their spicy sticks...

Absolutely come back to life!

"Where is your factory? Let's make an appointment to talk."

Old Tian just wanted to satisfy Teacher Qi Hao's sand sculpture request quickly. He had the illusion of a domineering president pampering his little wife.

Thinking about it makes me feel sick.

"Tomorrow, just tomorrow, we will go to the capital to meet you tomorrow!"

Teacher Qi Hao drove his car and had already arrived at the China Film Building.

This film *The Warlords* is directed by Peter Chan.

Media Asia, China Film, and Peter Chan's own company produced it, with an investment of 270 million, and found Jet Li, Eason Chan, Xu Jinglei, Teacher Qi Hao, and a group of old drama bones to star.

The staff were not surprised to see him come alone.

People in the circle know that Teacher Qi Hao is from a grassroots background, and he doesn't like to put on star airs on weekdays.

This is also the reason why he is often kissed by female fans with lipstick.

If it looks good, then endure it.

If it's a female fan who doesn't look good, then struggle desperately.

"Brother Wah, so early!" The first person Teacher Qi Hao saw was Eason Chan.

Teacher Qi Hao's mother is Eason Chan's fan.

Teacher Qi Hao is also Eason Chan's fan.

Didn't expect to have a day to cooperate with him.

"You're quite early too. Your... coat looks good. It's really too cold today, haha."

Eason Chan was wearing a formal suit. Seeing Teacher Qi Hao wearing a military coat, he felt even colder.

"The capital is like this. When the heating comes, it will be warm indoors. Actually, Brother Wah, you can try to buy a military coat like mine. It must be very handsome."

"Haha, really? Take it off and let me try."

"This set of mine is custom-made."

"No wonder it's so handsome... how is it?"

"Fuck, too handsome, Brother Wah!"

"Hahaha~ lend it to me to wear."

"No, I'm cold!"

"You are young, what are you cold about? Shake it~"

When Eason Chan first came into contact with Teacher Qi Hao, he was also deceived by his cold exterior.

Everyone filmed together for a few months, getting along day and night, only to discover Teacher Qi Hao's funny inner self.

The two chatted for a while, and China Film Group Deputy General Manager Shi Dongming, Deputy General Manager and Spokesperson Weng Li, Bona Distribution Company General Manager Yu Dong and others also came.

Jet Li didn't come. Besides Teacher Qi Hao and Eason Chan, Xu Jinglei also came.

This press conference was mainly to introduce the situation of *The Warlords* applying for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and it had little to do with Teacher Qi Hao, the third lead.

There were also media asking about his scandals with female stars, all of which were easily handled by the spokesperson Weng Li on the spot.

Teacher Qi Hao didn't show it on the surface, but he was complaining wildly in his heart.

I just helped Old Xu when she slipped, and you spread rumors that we were hugging and cuddling on the set, and even looking at each other affectionately.

Won't your conscience hurt?

And, she is not only the second sister-in-law in the film, but also has something with the eldest brother. I, the third brother, will never do such a beastly thing.

Thinking of the scandals spread during the filming, which are going to be hyped up again because of the film's release, Teacher Qi Hao felt full of grievances.

He didn't know what was wrong with him either.

Every time he films a play, or even shoots an advertisement, he will have scandals with women.

If he were really a playboy, he would admit it.

But the key is that these scandals are basically all fabricated.

It's as if the media practitioners in the domestic entertainment industry, as long as they can't find decent news points, they pull him out and apply them mechanically.

Fortunately, the spicy stick manufacturer rushed to the capital overnight the next day.

This day and night was enough for the manufacturer to confirm whether the mobile phone number that contacted them belonged to Teacher Qi Hao's manager.

After seeing Teacher Qi Hao in person, they were completely relieved.

The two sides talked very happily.

Mainly, this Little Xiao Xiao Xiao Fei Gun manufacturer reported to China Resources that they had negotiated Teacher Qi Hao's endorsement.

When China Resources heard this, they immediately decided to increase investment.

And with increased investment, not only can they afford to sign Teacher Qi Hao as an endorser, but they can also upgrade equipment and expand production.

With more sales and larger production, the cost will be further diluted, and it is possible to increase profits.

The plight of Little Xiao Xiao Xiao Fei Gun spicy sticks was solved.

The endorsement fee was 7 million a year, which is a high price, after all, ordinary big stars don't endorse this.

The reason it was only signed for one year is partly because Little Xiao Xiao Xiao Fei Gun wants to observe the endorsement effect, and partly because Teacher Qi Hao's contract is still with Ziwun. Even if he negotiated the endorsement himself, he still has to share it with Ziwun.

"Mr. Qi, happy cooperation!" After the talk, the factory director let out a long sigh of relief.

Life is such ups and downs.

Yesterday he was still depressed about going bankrupt, and today he signed one of the Four Young Dan as an endorser.

"You are polite. If possible, I want to arrange to shoot an advertisement within ten days."

Teacher Qi Hao mainly wants to do the quest.

This 7 million, after deducting taxes, deducting the share for Ziwun, and giving some to Old Tian, the manager, he himself can't get much money.

It's about 2 million.

"Our budget this time is very sufficient, Mr. Qi. Who do you want to shoot this advertisement with? Fan Xuexue, An Feng, Gao Yuanyuan, Sun Li..."

The factory director rubbed his hands, full of expectation.

"Forget it, they may not necessarily shoot spicy stick advertisements."

Teacher Qi Hao is because he has a quest, and these first-line female stars don't have quests.

"Oh, they wouldn't shoot it originally, but I think, if they knew it was shooting with you, they would definitely..."

"Stop!"

Teacher Qi Hao never expected that this old guy was actually his black fan, and he knew the scandal objects fabricated by the media for him like the back of his hand. ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
