CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 0046 PLANNING TO HARM ONESELF (REQUEST FOR MONTHLY VOTES)

When Qi Hao’s scandals were flying everywhere, "Chinese Paladin 3" was actually unaffected.

The filming had already progressed so much, it was impossible to change the cast last minute.

And it wasn’t like it was a fatal scandal.

In the entertainment industry, many with different orientations can still become famous, and sometimes their resources might even be better.

It could be said that many of the popular young stars these days often have orientation gossip, or they themselves have no issues, but can flexibly meet the preferences of the bigwigs.

Like the "Shi Xue" Eight Beauties, the "Hai" Banquet Boy...

On the set of "Chinese Paladin 3", everyone continued filming and having fun as they should.

Besides filming, Qi Hao spent his time reading and learning, listening to Zhang Songwen’s lessons.

After a month of Zhang Songwen’s classes ended, Qi Hao felt the service quality was good, so he decided to extend it further.

He planned to seriously study method acting theory and integrate it with practice.

Unfortunately, the training space only opens when tasks are done.

Each task completes grants one access, and each time is only eight hours, severely impacting Qi Hao’s progress.

Although Qi Hao won the Best Actor award, he didn’t become conceited.

He knows he still has a long way to go.

His zero-fee rescue role in "Heavenly Dog" wasn’t because he shared a surname with Director Qi Jian.

The Golden Rooster Best Actor certainly wasn’t his endpoint.

He hopes the dog system won’t be ungrateful, and can upgrade to solve this issue in the future.

Regarding the rampant scandals, the only thing Qi Hao did was call those implicated bigwigs to express sincere apologies.

Although he didn’t know those bigwigs were dragged down by Zhanqi Laiden, it’s better to err on the side of politeness.

Having manners means that even if those bigwigs wanted to vent their anger, they couldn’t target him, the victim, and all the hatred was drawn away by the six major sects.

The crew didn’t distance themselves from Qi Hao because of the flying scandals.

Is Qi Hao gay?

Once you interact with him, you’d realize how absurd those rumors are.

And even if he is gay, so what?

First, you wouldn’t worry about him taking advantage during publicity stunts, and second, everyone could be "sisters" together.

An agreement was made; double happiness!

So, the necessary rumors still had to spread.

The media abandoned the daring-to-mention news material that Qi Hao was gay.

If they knew a mountain had tigers, they’d avoid approaching it.

They once again delved into the safe zone of Qi Hao’s rumored romances.

Yang Mi’s opportunity naturally arrived.

Yang Mi is someone who likes to strategize; she felt her talent wasn’t good enough, so she must work hard.

Therefore, before deciding to create a rumor with Qi Hao, she let someone make a table for analysis.

Yes, it was to gather information on those actresses who have had rumors with Qi Hao.

Yang Mi muttered while looking at it.

Damn, you’ve had too many rumored partners, are you a Casanova?

Luckily I just want a rumor with you, if I really dated you, wouldn’t I be cursed to baldness by all your rumored girlfriends?

The hair isn’t much to begin with.

However, she quickly realized she would also become one of those many rumored girlfriends.

Emma, the clown is actually me.

Suddenly, she had no ground to mock and continued to look at the table awkwardly.

The table showed who became popular with a rumor with Qi Hao, who was lukewarm, and who completely disappeared.

Data showed that having a rumor with Qi Hao doesn’t necessarily make one famous.

But the data also showed that indeed, some people only started to turn their luck with a rumor with Qi Hao.

The term "turn their luck" was very important to Yang Mi.

What Yang Mi needed most now was to turn her luck.

They summarized a few key points from the many cases of Qi Hao’s rumors.

First, don’t use him to step up.

They found some actresses had rumors with Qi Hao under a "Qi Hao wants to pursue me, but I didn’t let him" storyline.

It’s as if Qi Hao wasn’t worthy of them.

Practically all of those fizzled out.

Second, don’t deceive.

Especially if the manipulation was too obvious, making Qi Hao’s side unable to bear it and issue clarifications.

He’s not a pushover to be toyed with.

Whenever Qi Hao clarified, it naturally drew attacks from his female fans.

Their fighting power remains strong.

Especially when challenging Qi Hao’s rumored girlfriends.

But if it was a normal rumor, they would discuss if she fits with Qi Hao and how she compared to the previous one.

Hmm, you can ’ship’ our house number seven, but you can’t force it.

It felt like mom-fans choosing a daughter-in-law.

Third, don’t be too proactive.

The most valuable things happen naturally. If the woman is too proactive, showing a strong ambition, Qi Hao will run away quickly.

Yang Mi has seen firsthand how Qi Hao and An Feng got caught up in rumors.

Actually, their private interactions aren’t too frequent.

The main focus was still on rehearsals.

They occasionally talked about topics of mutual interest, and every conversation seemed to go very well.

The feeling naturally emerged.

A casual shot could become a picture.

After considering, Yang Mi decided to start acting.

Little did she know, her efforts were like a firefly in the night.

The kind that lights up with a fart.

Qi Hao had long known she was going to make a move on him.

This enchantress had been interacting with him intentionally or unintentionally since early April, when Qi Hao just returned to the set, talking about the past of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and the method of practical performance.

When the conversation got deep, they’d sit very close.

When it got funny, she’d laugh while leaning on Qi Hao’s arm.

Gives you an advantage, would you take it...

This kind of thing is actually the most annoying. The past of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is indeed a common topic, no one can change the fact they had collaborated, and they even worked very well together.

Someone said at the time that Yang Mi didn’t look like she was acting.

Now everyone is in the same crew, it’s impossible not to interact, and when interacting, it’s also impossible to always sit solemnly and properly.

Playing around, having physical contact is a very normal thing.

Many celebrities become couples or friends after collaborating, the feelings are developed through about three months of working closely together.

You can’t just kick her away.

In such a situation, rumors naturally arise.

This time, it’s a photo of Qi Hao and Yang Mi looking at the same phone, heads almost touching, taken by the media.

At that moment, the southern spring sunlight filtered through the tree canopy, casting a beautiful interplay of light and shadow on both of them, like a watercolor.

In the picture, Yang Mi had a slightly pouting expression, while Qi Hao looked a bit smug.

This kind of photo was obviously secretly taken by someone in the crew and then exposed to the media.

There are always extras or staff in the crew who like to secretly take photos of celebrities and sell them to the media. As long as they don’t get caught, the income is quite good.

The internet is so forgetful, a few days ago everyone was saying Qi Hao was bent, now they’re saying he’s a playboy.

Started in a new crew, and sure enough, he’s caught up in new dating rumors with a new actress.

Did you forget you proposed to Fan Xuexue on the red carpet last year?

The benefit of this rumor is that it completely washed away the previous black article about Qi Hao being bent.

Now if anyone says Qi Hao is bent, they are immediately labeled as mindless haters.

Even professional haters are too lazy to mention it anymore.

"What were you doing at that time?" Zhang Nan asked Qi Hao, feeling quite troubled.

Are you being fair to me, an agent who’s single-mindedly trying to help you with your career?

I just went out to do some business, and you’ve already hooked up with someone else?

Boss, women will only slow down your sword-drawing speed.

"What I was doing, I don’t quite remember, she definitely wants to sleep with me, you can tell by her eyes almost popping out."

Qi Hao didn’t pay much attention at the time, only now upon seeing the photo did he realize.

"You..." Zhang Nan calmed his breath and continued to ask, "Did you have a book on your knee and a phone in your hand, checking unfamiliar words?"

"Oh right, I remember, the word ’strong’, I said it’s pronounced ’jing’, strong stem, she said it’s pronounced ’jin’, strong, I definitely didn’t agree, so I checked it, and naturally, I won."

Qi Hao didn’t think it was a big deal, it’s mainly the media overreacting.

If they want to throw dirt at you, they can always find a reason.

"So what should we do now? How did we handle similar situations before? Do we need to clarify anything? Should we sync up with An Yu’s side?"

Zhang Nan placed the new book he bought for Qi Hao on his bedside table.

"Doesn’t seem like we need to do anything, we didn’t handle it much before either."

Qi Hao thought seriously for a moment, in cases like Yang Mi’s, according to Old Tian’s words, it’s likely to be a win-win situation.

Everyone shares the spotlight.

Also, Qi Hao’s side doesn’t need to spend money, if they want to hype up the heat, it’s the woman’s side who spends the money.

Old Tian calls it "hiring fee."

Just keep an eye on the direction, don’t let the woman use it against us.

"Boss, you absolutely shouldn’t take it seriously, Yang Mi isn’t an ideal match, she’s too career-minded."

"Do you have the gall to talk about others being too career-minded?"

Qi Hao was amused by him.

"Those who are career-minded are suitable as subordinates, not as girlfriends. Boss, you should find someone wealthy and obedient, it’s still important to consider the bigger picture."

Zhang Nan felt uneasy.

He doesn’t really object to Qi Hao falling in love, he has no position to do so, after all, he not only fell in love, but also got married and had a child.

He can only persuade Qi Hao— seeking riches is full of danger.
