If you don't want to be abandoned by the times, to increase your risk resistance, you can only improve yourself more.

Only when you really become stronger can you stand your ground in the entertainment industry.

Qi Hao Studio has carefully planned Zhao Jinmai's life with her parents.

Both sides are much calmer.

The child is still in elementary school, but plans have to start for the three major film academies.

You must rely on your true abilities to get in.

It's best to have a presentable achievement, whether it's cultural scores or professional scores.

Because you are not an ordinary student, you have starred in popular movies like "Uncle," a star with your own representative work.

Of course, the requirements should be correspondingly raised.

Cultural teacher, acting teacher, script teacher, physical teacher... Zhao Jinmai's parents found a bunch of teachers for classes.

Luckily, Zhao Jinmai is also striving.

Not only did she not complain, she also expressed that she really enjoys learning these things.

"People in the circle say we have sharp eyes, we bring promising talents under our wing..."

Zhanqi Laiden once again marveled at Qi Hao's luck.

"Sharp eyes, my foot, I just don't want such a kid who just entered the industry to be polluted by society, it's a little responsibility for discovering a newcomer, nobody expected her to become so popular."

When Qi Hao debuted, he didn't have such luck.

Zhao Jinmai is considered the first newbie he discovered.

And at such a young age.

If something happens to her in the entertainment industry someday, Qi Hao might feel uneasy.

He'll think, what if he hadn't chosen her back then.

Would she then have had a happy and peaceful childhood, gone to high school, applied to college, entered society, found a good job, and had a happy family?

Instead of...

Qi Hao also knows this kind of worry is pretentious and unnecessary.

In this business, sooner or later you have to pay back.

But when he realized that one casual move could change Zhao Jinmai's life and effectively prevent future psychological guilt for himself, he agreed to let Zhao Jinmai sign with the studio decisively.

Consider it as raising another Ao Bai.

Anyway, the resources here are abundant, the company doesn't need to deliberately find resources for her.

"Old Tian even hired a psychological counselor, afraid she'll lose herself after becoming famous."

It sounds funny at first, but upon reflection, it's quite necessary.

A child under ten years old, suddenly becomes the focus of attention.

Not only classmates in her grade, but the whole school, even kids from other schools come to see her.

Wherever she goes, there's praise and adoration.

Millions worth of endorsement contracts fly in like snowflakes, overwhelming choices.

Just one endorsement makes what her parents earn in a lifetime.

Even adults may not remain unmoved, let alone a child with unsettled mind.

"Oh right, I'm going to join the crew for filming in a few days, if you have time, help Old Tian more, he's busy with the company and preparing for his wedding, I'm afraid he'll drop dead."

Qi Hao didn't forget to remind.

Thinking about it, he feels quite sorry for Old Tian.

Childhood buddy, where is he now? Turned into a working horse struggling with mortgage.

Old Tian, as a working horse, has to help Qi Hao manage several companies.

And what did Qi Hao do?

He just left Ao Bai to Old Tian.

"Oh, going to play a eunuch..."

Zhanqi Laiden knows this movie, it's newly prepared by Xu Ke, considered a sequel to "Dragon Gate Inn."

Qi Hao plays the big villain, Chief Eunuch.

The company has quite a discussion about it, some people think Qi Hao as the big boss, playing such a role might negatively impact our company's corporate culture.

However, other employees think the boss as an actor should play whatever role suits.

What's wrong with playing a eunuch, why do you discriminate against eunuchs?

Some eunuchs have more guts than most men.

Especially legendary eunuchs like Wang Zhi.

Our boss is really down to earth.

Straight to the underworld!

People just love such a boss.

As for the company's corporate culture, where do we have any corporate culture?

"What's a eunuch, obviously a royal clerk."

Qi Hao's face turned green.

Playing a eunuch is not his wish, he has no choice but to fulfill the task.

These past few months, there have been no new villain roles.

It seems, playing a eunuch is destiny.

This role used to be nobody willing to take, after Qi Hao took it, many young actors want to snatch it, waiting for Qi Hao to push it away due to busyness.

Qi Hao has become a trendsetter.

"Isn't it still a eunuch?"

Zhanqi Laiden is brave, occasionally teasing the boss feels nice.

"This is definitely the most unique eunuch, later I'll kick Li Lianjie, abuse them to death."

Qi Hao is already itching to try.

If he doesn't get to Li Lianjie early, in a few years the old fellow might not even walk without wetting his pants.

"Come on, you can totally write a script yourself, invite all sorts of kung fu stars to star, let them be ruined by you in the movie..."

Zhanqi Laiden gives advice.

"Wow, that sounds pretty interesting."

Qi Hao definitely won't get involved in this stuff. He already has scripts on hand that he can't finish filming.

The system is about to reward him with "You Who Came from the Stars." Anything from the system is guaranteed to be a masterpiece, so he definitely has to do it.

There's also "Lost on Journey 2: Thailand."

"Lost on Journey 1" was a massive success, with an explosive box office, and the DVDs sold very well too.

The second part continues with the cast from the first.

Qi Hao can't avoid it.

Then there's Zhou Xingxing's new movie, for which he also intends to invite Qi Hao to participate, even saying that if Qi Hao is willing to act, An Feng could have the female lead.

A typical exchange of interests.

When people get older, they care more about money, not to mention Zhou Xingxing is famously money-loving.

Qi Hao and An Feng made a romance movie, and for a genre that's hard to achieve blockbuster success, they still reached a box office of 800 million.

So, the money-loving Zhou Xingxing set his sights on them.

Qi Hao intends to read the script before making a decision.

Back when he first started, he dreamt of collaborating with Xing, even if it was just to play a minor role, because Xing's supporting roles are always outstanding.

Unfortunately, Xing isn't acting anymore.

He doesn't even plan to do cameo appearances.

It feels like the end of an era, with myths slowly crumbling before his eyes.

Moreover, the more he knows, the more he realizes that Xing is not easy to get along with.

Qi Hao then thought, why not just avoid collaborating?

Keep a little mystery.

Don't be like Xu Ke; Qi Hao now feels totally disillusioned with him.

Still, no matter what, Qi Hao has to join the crew.

An Feng is joining the crew with him.

She took a role that's not a lot but significant, playing a heroic female bandit.

Xu Ke gave her the title of Hua Mulan of the Pirate Realm.

An Feng and Qi Hao can't be separated, so she decided to follow the crew.

Even if she's not acting, she wants to be with Qi Hao.

Nothing can be done about it; people say newlyweds are inseparable, and they are pretty much like that now.

Moreover, Qi Hao publicly acknowledged An Feng as his fiancée, so even if An Feng follows him into the crew, no one would gossip about them.

Since she's going to be with the crew anyway, why not play a role?

An Feng actually quite likes this role.

Originally, Xu Ke wanted this character to use the Cyan Dragon Crescent Blade for a "cute" contrast.

However, after seeing An Feng try a long spear, he decisively chose for her to use it.

An Feng tried several weapons back then.

Of course, using a sword looks great; An Feng using a sword is something countless audiences have certified.

The action scenes in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" are classics, enough for other actresses of her age group to chase after for ten years.

Weapons like knives were also nice, but it shouldn't be the Great Guan Saber.

The Great Guan Saber looks a bit foolish.

This kind of weapon suits tall people, looks mighty and impressive, but for someone smaller, it seems like the person is being used by the weapon.

According to the character's backstory in the film, this Great Guan Saber was something she picked up casually from someone and didn't have any special meaning.

So in the end, she went with the spear.

The Red Tassel Spear combined with Chain Darts looks absolutely heroic and valiant; An Feng is going farther and farther down this path.

Recently, An Feng has been dedicating at least three days a week to training with a professional spear instructor.

The martial arts choreographer started by designing her moves.

Firstly, because Xu Ke gave face to Qi Hao, and secondly, because An Feng was relatively free.

Everyone else had different engagements; Li Lianjie was always abroad, and since "Heartbreak 33 Days," An Feng didn't have much work.

This movie's martial arts coaches are Yuan Bin, Sun Jiankui, Lan Haihan, and Qi Hao managed to add Feng Bufan to the mix.

Feng Bufan brought along Zhonghao Entertainment's martial arts team.

Zhonghao Entertainment assembled quite a few behind-the-scenes teams, divided into groups like martial arts, cinematography, props, etc.

Feng Bufan's action design in "Uncle" was well-received, and although most of the credit went to Li Zhongzhi, some of the moves he designed were analyzed frame-by-frame by netizens.

There were many brilliant spots.

Plus, he has been practicing Huaxia martial arts since he was young, and over the years, he has seen all kinds of martial arts combat techniques abroad. He joined the industry late, but his skills have improved rapidly.

Qi Hao simply assembled a team centered around him.

Once they grow, if he shoots action or period films in the future, he won't need to bring in action coordinators from Xiangjiang.

Actually, not just the martial arts team; Zhonghao Entertainment's photography and art teams had people involved in this movie as well.

No matter if the movie quality declines over time, Xu Ke is still quite remarkable in some aspects.

Spend some time learning, and you'll gain something.

However, the ones with the largest presence in the crew weren't these, but Naughty Ghost Studio.

One is the main force, and the newly established Unit Two also joined in.

Though said to be newly established, most employees are Hollywood practitioners, just last month working on the frontlines of special effects, then were recruited to Huaxia this month.

Of course, Xu Ke doesn't trust Naughty Ghost entirely.

There are also a few other special effects teams involved.

Special effects require a lot of manpower; shaping a special effects movie might need hundreds of special effects engineers working overtime.

Having several special effects companies collaborate on a single movie is quite common.

Of course, in this movie, Qi Hao is also using a sword.

For this movie, the props team made him several swords, one of which was made to Qi Hao's specifications as a real weapon.

Not everyone gets to enjoy this kind of treatment.
