"What are you two talking about?"

Zhou Xun saw their silly expressions and, instead of being annoyed, felt a bit envious.

Recently, she wanted to find a new boyfriend.

Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone who caught her eye. Not long ago, her ex-boyfriend committed suicide, which put her in a slump for quite a while.

They say love can heal the heart.

Unfortunately, she only believes in true love.

Looking at these two, she was dead envious and wanted to ask if they could include her too.

"We're talking about a new script."

Qi Hao didn't hide anything. This new script focused on celebrity life and would certainly require many celebrity cameos.

They could even shoot some backstage footage of celebrity events.

Some scenes could use fake celebrities, but Qi Hao at least needed a few real stars to make cameo appearances.

Someone like Zhou Xun or Gao Yuanyuan would be perfect.

No issues with them.

"How come you have so many new scripts? Which screenwriter wrote them for you?"

Zhou Xun asked curiously.

It's rare in the industry for a screenwriter to have a completed script and then look for a director or company. Usually, it's the company or director who has an idea and finds the right writer to execute it.

Like Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly."

He wanted to adapt Ma Shitu's novel "Ten Night Tales," so he worked with Shuping, Guo Junli, Wei Xiao, Li Bukong, Zhu Sujin, Ma Shitu, and others to study the script.

After the study, they adjusted it while filming.

And so the script was born.

Unless it's someone planning to write and direct themselves, they wouldn't start with the script.

The couple of scripts Qi Hao received were all like that, created by directors who also wrote but couldn't find investors.

A script without investment is just garbage, so to turn it around, they had to sell it.

That's why Zhou Xun asked who wrote the scripts.

For a seasoned filmmaker, knowing the screenwriter reveals the script's value.

"Our company made them. I wrote them and then gave them to the team to refine."

In the future, Qi Hao would still have opportunities to earn new scripts from Tongzi, so building a persona of someone who can write scripts was very necessary.

"You wrote them?"

Zhou Xun gasped in surprise.

As Little Buffett, Qi Hao already excels at acting and directing, and now he can write scripts too.

If one day someone said he had a child, it wouldn't be hard to believe.

At most, she'd marvel at An Feng's prowess.

But the script... it wasn't like she looked down on Qi Hao.

Can the script even be watched?

"I've always been writing scripts. 'Lost on Journey 2' is my work, and I also participated in the first one."

Qi Hao wasn't boasting.

In fact, scripts like "First Love," "Those Years," "Uncle," which were acquired from outside, were all revised by Qi Hao.

He made changes before the crew was set up and once the crew was formed, he would make immediate adjustments if deemed necessary.

He was the director, so he called the shots.

"Wow, Qi Hao, you're too perfect. You make it hard for me to find a boyfriend. An Feng, let's discuss lending me your boyfriend for three days, how about that?"

Three days of fun.

As for how he'd be returned, that's another matter.

"Can you even loan someone?" An Feng was taken aback and then glared at Qi Hao, "What's that look of anticipation on your face for!"

"Misunderstanding!"

Qi Hao felt wronged.

He doesn't like screwing around, so how could he anticipate Zhou Xun.

Of course, such complaints couldn't be voiced, or there'd be a life-and-death battle today.

"The script is quite interesting. Qi Hao does know how to write scripts."

An Feng's admiration for Qi Hao deepened.

"Your new movie is pretty good. Were you involved in the script?"

Zhou Xun had caught up with the movie a couple of days ago.

No doubt, An Feng has walked a path with Qi Hao that others can't match.

First, there were "Heavenly Dragon Eight Books," "The Return of the Condor Heroes," "Chinese Paladin," then followed by "First Love," "Those Years," "Heartbreak 33 Days."

Her health bar is thick, as long as she doesn't break any laws or regulations in the coming decades, she'll always have a place in the entertainment circle.

"As a director, you definitely need to be involved in the script."

Directors in mainland China have such abilities, at least guiding the screenwriter to modify according to their requirements.

Scripts need to be more logical.

Some screenwriters are talented but don't have life experience. They can't see the poor, nor imagine the rich, molding life solely from imagination.

That's when the director needs to step in.

If both the director and writer lack life experience, then the result will surely be criticized.

Moreover, Qi Hao, as the director, also needs to make sure the story fits the main cast better.

Sometimes the main actor requests script changes, not just for more scenes; professional actors like Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian have their own understanding of their roles, often on a more advanced level than directors.

Qi Hao and Zhou Xun chatted about the script for a bit and confirmed her cameo in the drama.

A big star like her, welcome in.

As for someone like Li Lianjie, Qi Hao didn't want to owe him favors.

Li Lianjie doesn't need anything from Qi Hao in the acting field; if Qi Hao wanted to return the favor, it would have to be in other aspects.

Like some charity foundation.

You never know when such projects would turn into pitfalls.

Donghao Venture Capital has dedicated charity channels, and economically disadvantaged students that Qi Hao used to sponsor have now grown into a scaled operation.

There are many other charity projects.

Qi Hao simply doesn't plan to delve deeper in this field, or he could achieve remarkable results at any moment.

Qi Hao's capital connections were developed through investment bit by bit.

Not like Li Lianjie, who got close to the Internet crowd, paying the price among each other.

Old Ma, Old Liu, and that lot have all formed their own factions, and Qi Hao doesn't want to get involved at all.

Li Lianjie also sensed Qi Hao's coldness.

Whenever he brought up capital matters, Qi Hao would change the subject.

When he couldn't avoid it, he would say it needed discussion.

However, discussing action scenes was always a pleasure for both.

During his childhood, Qi Hao watched a lot of Li Lianjie's movies, so even though he knew the man got worse with age, he couldn't bring himself to despise him.

In this world, there's no such thing as a pure good person.

To climb higher, one must give up some things, only what Li Lianjie gave up didn't sit well with Qi Hao's values.

Though the cast was star-studded, Xu Ke managed to maintain control over the crew quite well.

Especially with Qi Hao and Li Lianjie being cooperative with the crew.

"Dragon Gate Armor" was an exceptionally high-quality production.

Filming began in mid-October and was expected to continue until around the end of January next year.

However, everyone's scenes were different, so they didn't need to stay with the crew the entire time.

After several rounds of intense filming for Qi Hao's scenes, he rarely needed to stay in the crew for focused shooting.

He could completely leave the crew for the capital.

Future scenes for him only required a two-day notice for him to have time to reach the crew and prepare.

However, Qi Hao didn't leave to accompany An Feng.

Returning alone, lonesome, was pointless, not to mention he couldn't even cook a decent meal alone.

He stayed until December 4th, returning from the crew only for the premiere of "The Orphan of Zhao."

Chen Kaige brought his wife and kids to support; he couldn't just turn up empty-handed.

That's part of the social etiquette in the entertainment industry.

Only someone like Xing could whimsically ignore such things.

Recently, Feng Xiaogang had been complaining about Xing's tactlessness, as he cameoed in "Kung Fu," yet Zhou Xingxing wasn't willing to show face in his film.

At its root, it's mostly due to a lack of further collaboration.

Zhou Xingxing's new movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" had already agreed on collaboration with Zhonghao Entertainment, leaving Mrs. Hua feeling all kinds of dissatisfaction.

Conflicts between the two companies were only going to increase.

Sooner or later, it would be a fight to the death.
