Qi Hao looked into this project and found that "Rurouni Kenshin" is adapted from the manga of the same name by Nobuhiro Watsuki and is being filmed to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the "Rurouni Kenshin" TV animation.

It is a very Neon-featured IP.

He invests in Korean films to make Koreans work for him, as he wants to make money from the Korean market.

And to expand his influence in the Korean film circle.

Even if films like "Architecture 101" or "Seoul Station" were to be released in the mainland, they wouldn't have much cultural and conceptual impact.

But something like "Rurouni Kenshin" is purely cultural import.

So Qi Hao decisively declined this collaboration invitation.

Furthermore, the system requires that he invests only if he can take the lead, and "Rurouni Kenshin" obviously didn't plan to relinquish control.

Such a collaboration wouldn't add value to his mission, and aiming to promote Neon culture, it's no wonder he refused.

Meanwhile, there was also a script from Xiangjiang.

Director Cheung Bo-wai of "Dog Bite Dog" presented the script for "The Great Uproar in Heaven," saying several main actors' schedules had already been set, such as Zhen Zidan as Sun Wukong, Guo Mansion as Bull Demon King, and Zhou Ruifa as the Jade Emperor...

All it takes is 400 million!

Qi Hao almost told him to get lost directly.

There was also a film called "Lost in Bangkok," with the scriptwriter being Woo Yau-fai.

This guy had a role in "3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy," which was released in April this year.

Who knows if he got addicted to acting; this time, he wants to direct as well.

Unfortunately, "Lost in Bangkok" is an adult film.

Qi Hao decisively rejected him.

What the hell do you take me for?

Fang Long also came with his "Chinese Zodiac" seeking collaboration, with the new film directed by him.

The investment was almost ready, as Fang Long's films lack no funding.

With investment in place and an old director...

This clearly doesn't meet the system's requirements.

In Thailand, with geographical advantages, Qi Hao watched a few films.

One called "First Love," which tells the story of 25-year-old Sasha falling in love with high school student Pan Beisi, eventually overcoming the enormous gap in age and experiences.

Another is "Yes or No," about two girls overcoming the same-sex love taboo to become partners, facing the challenge of long-distance internships, and the emotional rift caused by distance and misunderstanding.

Another, "It Gets Better," tells the story of three taboo transgender romances and the subtle connections between the protagonists, showcasing the transgender community's longing for love and understanding.

Be it homosexuality or transsexuality, true to Thai scripts, it gives one a headache first and then another kind of ache.

In the eyes of Thais, Qi Hao is considered a top-level master of romance films across Asia.

But he is very "pure," genuinely unable to accept these alternative ideas.

By the time "Lost on Journey 2" wrapped up, and the crew left Thailand, Qi Hao had only finalized four mainland films and two Korean films.

The company still had some old projects, like Gao Qunshu's new film "Detective Hunter Zhang."

"Detective Hunter Zhang" is considered an artistic film.

Zhonghao Entertainment is not that focused on commercial success, and if there's a good art film, they can also obtain the script from this company.

Last year, they earned at least one billion from films.

Zhonghao has enough funds to support some art films.

Not only art films, but there are also biographical films, like there is one about Qian Xuesen.

Qian Lao passed away the year before last, and the authorities and West Film Factory decided to make a film to commemorate Qian Lao.

The director is Zhang Jianya, whose works include "Sanmao Joins the Army," "The Reign of Zhenguan," "Love Call Transfer," etc.

They contacted Zhonghao.

Zhonghao decisively took out fifty million; this money would be used to make a biographical film, ensuring excellent production quality.

However, West Film Factory wanted more than just money.

They wanted talent.

They hoped Qi Hao could play Qian Lao.

The main consideration was Qi Hao's immense popularity and top-tier acting skills.

The biggest embarrassment of biographical films is the small audience.

After filming, it might win an award, but then it sits neglected.

The original promotional and educational purpose is hard to convey through the film.

West Film Factory thinks that if Qi Hao is willing to act, then even if the film can't achieve a box office explosion, it will at least attract a lot of young people's attention.

Performing is something he can do.

Qi Hao even felt a bit flattered.

Although he is a hanger-on, his heart still holds reverence and admiration for certain people.

And Qian Lao is one of them.

That is the spine of Huaxia People.

If he can portray Qian Lao's life through acting, it's also a rare life experience for him.

However, Qi Hao received the invitation in March this year.

At that time, he was about to get married, followed closely by "Lost on Journey 2" and "You Who Came from the Stars," leaving his schedule almost full this year.

He felt quite helpless about this.

But West Film Factory was easygoing, expressing that although the film was meant to commemorate Qian Lao's 100th birthday, it doesn't have to be released in 2011.

This project can wait for Qi Hao's schedule.

After all, the main actor is Qi Hao; once his schedule is set, other actors can be found later.

Additionally, there's a new script Qi Hao received, "Detective Chinatown."

This script is a comedy.

Finding someone to direct it is quite a headache.

Qi Hao plans that if there's really no suitable person, he'll hand it over to Ye Weimin.

Shoot two a year, one Jiong series, and one detective series; in the future, he won't have to fret over what films to make.

Just stay in the comfort zone.

When Qi Hao finished "Lost on Journey 2" and returned to the capital, it was already September 2011.

In the Chinese entertainment circle, nothing was more sensational than the divorce statement of the Feng-Zhi couple released by Zhang Baizhi's agency New Asia Entertainment. After nearly three months of speculation about the "Feng-Zhi marriage crisis," the dust has finally settled.

Regarding the custody issue that everyone is most concerned about, the two have reached a "joint custody" agreement, declaring that "everything will be with the happiness and growth of the two children as the primary consideration."

The statement claims that the couple decided to divorce due to personality incompatibility.

But everyone knows the real reason.

Ever since Zhang Baizhi was rumored to have unexpectedly met Chen Guanxi on a plane and invited him to take a selfie, reports about trouble in the marriage of Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi have repeatedly appeared in the media.

Both sides spared no effort in attacking each other.

Zhang Baizhi was accused of being money-driven, overbearing, unreasonable, having ambiguous relationships with other men during the marriage, and using the children to blackmail her husband...

Meanwhile, Zhang Baizhi repeatedly threatened to reveal the true face of her husband.

A couple once dubbed the "Love of the Century" tearing into each other is no different from ordinary people.

The media, however, were indeed satisfied.

Ever since Chen Guanxi's computer went for repairs, people have been watching the videos while belittling the Feng-Zhi romance.

What can be tolerated, who can't be tolerated?

It seems that even the strongest love can't withstand their persistent gossip.

Especially since this relationship was never really solid.

Zhang Baizhi and Chen Guanxi, Xie Tingfeng and Princess Consort, those were sensational romances of their time.

Now the drama concludes, and the two have finally divorced.

It's uncertain whether Zhang Baizhi and Chen Guanxi, Xie Tingfeng and Princess Consort, will have any more entanglements.

These past few months, they have been consistently high-profile.

Their "divorce drama" repeatedly snatched the front page headlines of major media outlets.

Not all of this was reported out of the media's own initiative.

Both sides have been buying articles to smear the other, while simultaneously whitewashing themselves.

Moreover, both can gain from the divorce buzz.

There is a very obvious piece of evidence.

The divorce statement was released on August 22nd (this Monday), but the signing date of the statement is August 19th (last Friday).

It was deliberately delayed by three days before being released.

The intent to stir up buzz is quite apparent here.

In terms of newspaper page quantity, Friday is not as busy as Monday, so to grab more page space, the parties purposely delayed the statement to Monday.

The same goes for online media, where Monday sees the highest internet traffic of the week.

This is what is commonly known as "Monday news" in the entertainment industry.

However, their "Monday news" annoyed some people.

"Didn't you just swindle Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu of a sum of money, how did you spend it all?"

Qi Hao took the document handed over by Chu Rong.

As expected, the document was an application for Qi Hao to approve funds.

Since those marketing companies are outside of Qi Hao's enterprises, the funds need to go through Qi Hao's personal process.

If it were an internal company financial application, it would follow internal procedures directly.

"It's all spent, on new business."

Chu Rong was full of guilt, as other departments were all generating revenue, but their PR department was still frivolously spending money.

Zhanqi Laiden even said that Qi Hao would definitely approve it.

"Oh, is it about Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi? That should be profitable, your specialty, benefiting from both ends..."

Qi Hao quickly browsed the document and signed his name.

"Boss, the pen is mine..."

Chu Rong cleared his throat twice; his favorite pen, the one he handled the best, was casually pocketed into his boss's pen holder.

"Ah, sorry about that."

Qi Hao returned both the pen and the document.

"Actually, it's not like that," Chu Rong briefly explained the reasoning for the fund application: "We didn't take on the case of Zhang Baizhi and Xie Tingfeng. Recently we have been fully committed to expanding the impact of the Monument Smash incident; Zhang Baizhi and Xie Tingfeng's hype interfered with our operations."

"Ah, the Monument Smash, I am aware of that."

Qi Hao suddenly understood, this is indeed something Zhanqi Laiden and his team would do.

The situation was utterly ridiculous but had indeed occurred.

"Brother Deng said, we must expand the impact, not to force anyone to be held accountable but to let more people know that this is wrong."

The more Chu Rong spoke, the more confident he became.

"You only applied for this small amount of money, is it enough?"

Zhanqi Laiden was right; Qi Hao would not only approve the funds but also worry whether the amount approved was sufficient.

"Most of it is voluntary work, it won't cost much money. Now Brother Deng is angry with Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi for being in the way, planning to teach them a lesson."

Chu Rong had nothing to hide from Qi Hao.

In fact, he was originally planning to report to Qi Hao about their activities.

Some things couldn't be put on paper material, so they needed face-to-face communication.

"I understand... I have no issues on my end, thank you for your hard work."

Qi Hao had no association with Xie Tingfeng or Zhang Baizhi and wasn't concerned about Emperor Entertainment being upset.

With the current scale of Qi Hao's side, Emperor Entertainment was truly negligible.

Moreover, the market is primarily inland now.

Even a powerful dragon must bide its time, let alone Emperor Entertainment, which hardly counts as a powerful dragon.

Zhanqi Laiden and his team teaching Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi a lesson would indeed be easy.

Why should Zhang Weijian be banned for fighting, while Xie Tingfeng remains unscathed because of backing?

Is it because his acting skills are too superb to ban?

Give me a break.

As for Zhang Baizhi, well, she had a notorious reputation in the Hong Kong circle.

Just by revamping her image a little, she ventured into Inner Entertainment.

Though Inner Entertainment is filled with trash, it isn't a recycling station where anyone can come and muddle through.
