Chapter 96: Chapter 0095: Put Away Your Supernatural Powers (Request for Monthly Tickets)

"Born with it, been like this since I was sixteen, jealous or not?" Li Xiaoran puffed up her chest.

"Can I touch?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"Can you afford to pay if you break it? No way!" Li Xiaoran joked with her.

"Why can Qi Hao, but not me!" Gao Yuanyuan protested.

"I didn’t, I did not touch!"

Qi Hao was picking a song, feeling that today wasn’t going to be easy.

Missing Wang Baoqiang, missing Wu Jing, missing Sha Yi, missing Qin Hao...

Won’t any of you just come already?

I’m going to be toyed with by these two women...

After Qi Hao picked a song, he returned to his seat, and Gao Yuanyuan started singing the song she chose.

"Curly lashes/winking eyes/words at the tip of my tongue suddenly make a turn..."

On the other side, Qi Hao and Li Xiaoran each clinked a bottle of beer together.

"I heard your new show has good ratings."

Qi Hao was talking about "Harbin Under the Night," which aired on CCTV Channel One on August 25. Since its broadcast, the ratings have steadily increased, with an average rating of 6% and an audience share close to 15%.

It’s considered one of the year’s hot dramas.

This TV series was directed by Zhao Baogang, who actually approached Qi Hao, but since Qi Hao took on "Oath of Allegiance," the director didn’t allow overlapping roles, so Qi Hao had to decline.

Fortunately, although "Oath of Allegiance" lost money, for an actor like Qi Hao, it was a significant boost in status.

Otherwise, people might say he picked up sesame seeds and dropped a watermelon.

The film industry often has some hindsight critiques.

Like who turned down a good script or missed a classic for a bad movie.

It mainly comes down to not having a discerning enough eye.

"I can’t compare to you. I’ve always wondered how you got into the Hong Kong Circle?"

Although Xiangjiang has declined, for mainland actors, who face fierce competition, appearing in a Xiangjiang film is still a highly coveted opportunity.

"Didn’t you act in ’Dragon and Tiger Gate’?" Qi Hao didn’t deliberately seek out Hong Kong Circle resources.

It was just that people he worked with in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry were mostly captivated by his personal charm.

For example, recently both Xu Ke and Liu Dehua strongly invited him to star in "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame."

He was offered the second male lead.

Even now, whether he’s one of the four fresh faces or a movie emperor, Qi Hao’s film roles aren’t that impressive.

The second lead role, especially Liu Dehua’s second lead, is perfectly normal as a resource.

Huang Xiaoming, Deng Zhao might not even be compared to him.

"Isn’t mine different? I was just an extra, sigh, Qi Hao, when can you be even more awesome, I’m counting on you." Li Xiaoran wanted to rely on him.

She also had gossip linked to Qi Hao, just not as successfully as Gao Yuanyuan, An Feng, or Fan Xuexue.

Unless she and Qi Hao came out of a hotel together the next morning and got caught by the media.

She wouldn’t mind; just treat it as a casual fling.

But Qi Hao was just so unyielding.

Can’t just drug him, can I?

That would probably end their friendship.

"If you put it that way, I won’t be polite." Qi Hao remembered something.

"Don’t hold back, come on." Li Xiaoran opened her arms and puffed up her chest, causing a little ripple of laughter.

"Put away your magic, I mean, if you really want me to support you in the future, shouldn’t you consider investing a little ahead of time?" Qi Hao smiled.

"How do you want me to invest? Apart from this bit of flesh, I don’t have a penny!"

Talking about money can hurt feelings, it’s no joke.

It’s okay to ask for a meal, but mention investment and I’m out.

Dating could be negotiated though.

Some are dating, some are cheating, some are single all year round.

"I’m working on a film with someone, planning to enter the capital circle. If the box office does well, there will definitely be more scripts and investments coming in, and I’ll definitely consider you investors then."

Qi Hao and his karaoke group were a bunch of people in the entertainment industry who could chat and relax together, relieving stress.

But sometimes they really would introduce resources to each other.

Apart from Hong Kong Circle, Capital Circle, Shanghai Circle, Northwest Circle, there are countless such small circles.

They are basically spontaneously formed casual gatherings.

Not much power but plenty of opportunities.

"What kind of investment?" Gao Yuanyuan stopped singing.

In general, capital doesn’t play with actors, looks down on their little money, and those who do are likely scammers.

One careless move and you could be cheated out of money and dignity.

But Qi Hao wouldn’t do that, everyone has known each other for so long.

Qi Hao briefly talked about the film "Lost on Journey," then chuckled, "Want to do a cameo? One of you can be my wife, and the other my mistress. Who wants to be my wife or mistress?"

Who will be the wife, and who will be the mistress?

Gao Yuanyuan and Li Xiaoran looked at each other, oh, little virgin, you’re full of yourself, aren’t you?

If you have the guts, let’s go to bed together, up for a threesome?

"It’s not too much work, just a day or two to shoot. I need your help, sisters!" Qi Hao said with a cheeky smile.

"Lost on Journey" is Little Fatty Sheep’s actual first work.

"October Fortress" had a two million investment, though the share wasn’t much, around 15%; "Wait and See" invested two million, with about a 40% share.

More importantly, these two film rights don’t belong to Little Fatty Sheep.

Only "Lost on Journey," Little Fatty Sheep holds 70%, with the remaining 30% being Qi Hao and Wang Baoqiang’s fees. The rights are with Little Fatty Sheep. Even if there’s a sequel, they can’t bypass Little Fatty Sheep.

Qi Hao hopes the movie can make money, preferably a lot.

That’s why he asks friends to do cameos.

If beauties like Li Xiaoran and Gao Yuanyuan join, it would certainly boost the box office.

Furthermore, one playing the wife and the other the mistress generates a lot of buzz.

Gao Yuanyuan, Li Xiaoran, who do you choose?

"With your good looks, every man likes you. Cheating is understandable." Li Xiaoran touched Gao Yuanyuan’s chin.

Gao Yuanyuan’s beauty is undeniable.

"You’re so voluptuous, definitely more fitting to be the mistress, which guy could resist such temptation?" Gao Yuanyuan jokingly retorted, they could really joke around in private.

Besides, there were just a few people today and an innocent Qi Hao.

"Qi Hao, if I were your wife, would you cheat with Gao Yuanyuan?"

Li Xiaoran rested her elbow on Qi Hao’s shoulder, soft and fragrant.

"You guys figure it out, it’s my turn to sing!"

Qi Hao picked up his bottle of beer and downed half.

Then grabbed the microphone and sat a bit further away from the two women.

"Drinking... didn’t make him any bolder."

Li Xiaoran pouted.

"Don’t say nonsense, careful not to make him angry." Gao Yuanyuan tugged Li Xiaoran’s sleeve.

"Are you the mistress, or am I?" Li Xiaoran asked.

"Sis, you overestimate me. If a man has you, no matter how much I flaunt, I couldn’t lure him away." Gao Yuanyuan said, feigning a cry.

"That’s true!" Li Xiaoran was convinced.

"Haha~"

Then the two laughed together.

Being a celebrity earns a lot but comes with huge pressure, so they occasionally need a way to decompress.

This kind of friend gathering usually allows everyone to unwind.

"But seriously, do you know who Qi Hao likes?"

Li Xiaoran is currently single.

She wouldn’t mind a fling with Qi Hao, even wearing a particular outfit for that purpose.

But he just doesn’t care at all.
