Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years

"There's only one scene today, we'll shoot it and leave. The hospital is letting us use it for two hours."

Qi Hao was discussing today's scene with An Feng.

But he noticed she was already asleep in the passenger seat.

He couldn't help it, it was three in the morning.

For someone who wants to sleep most of the time and has a hard time waking up, getting her up at this hour was like a death challenge.

"Ahem, I'll wake you up when we get there, aren't you afraid I'll steal a kiss?"

Qi Hao didn't show any signs of fatigue.

He was already used to it.

He went into the training space four times a week, pairing it with the metaphysical rest chair, so he didn't worry about lacking energy.

Of course, it was just enough.

If he shot too many action scenes or extended workout times for fitness, he would feel exhausted.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

At this hour, there were fewer people, but not none. The emergency department was still in operation as usual.

Qi Hao and his team borrowed a corner of the maternity ward for filming.

The plot was that An Feng was here for a pregnancy check, Qi Hao would come over, learn he was going to be a dad, and the two would happily embrace.

"Hey, wake up."

Qi Hao gently nudged An Feng's shoulder.

An Feng squirmed a bit and turned her back to Qi Hao.

Uh...

"Stop sleeping, let's finish this quickly, and I'll take you back so you can sleep well."

Qi Hao unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned forward, but found it inconvenient, so he pinched An Feng's cheek.

Back when he first met An Feng in 2004, she was like a bun.

Just seeing her made you want to pinch her.

Once, he couldn't resist and actually reached out while they were messing around.

And Ms. Liu happened to see it.

Ms. Liu's eyes turned red at the time, wishing she could cut off Qi Hao's hand.

Hugging and holding during filming is called work, but handling people privately is being a rogue, any family with a daughter would be angry at you.

Qi Hao was so startled he didn't dare pinch again.

But now...

I'll pinch, anyway, the old lady can't see it.

The feeling was really, really good.

Soft and fragrant...

But still, Qi Hao didn't dare go too far, if An Feng's face turned red from his pinching, it would be hard to explain later.

An Feng was finally woken up by his antics.

With her eyes half-open, she looked at Qi Hao in confusion, seemingly not fully awake yet.

She suspected she was dreaming.

How did she, while sleeping, dream of Qi Hao?

In most cases, shouldn't there be a plot in such a dream?

Why was he just stupidly looking at her doing nothing?

"Awake?"

Qi Hao was not too sure about her state.

"You..." An Feng dazedly reached out, as if to confirm whether Qi Hao was real or not.

Qi Hao didn't dodge, he even leaned closer.

Of course, he would never admit this if asked.

An Feng's hand was a little cold, completely different from Qi Hao's, it felt quite comfortable on his face.

"Ah!"

An Feng finally realized.

Emma, it seemed this was not a dream, she remembered.

They were supposed to shoot a night scene today, and she had ridden in Qi Hao's car.

Initially, she had been reminding herself not to fall asleep.

She must keep her eyes wide open and stay alert.

But in less than three seconds, she lost consciousness and even felt that Qi Hao's Rolls-Royce Phantom was quite comfortable to lie in.

An Feng now wanted to dig a hole out of embarrassment.

Even though Qi Hao wasn't a stranger, sleeping so casually outside wasn't okay.

You know a person's face but not their heart, what if he did something bad...

Well... well, maybe it's not that big of a deal.

"Get out, put on a coat, it's a bit cold tonight."

Qi Hao helped unbuckle the seatbelt and then reached into the backseat for a jacket.

Helping with a seatbelt might seem a bit inappropriate, but there's nothing wrong with unbuckling one. If unbuckling leads to touching the thigh, then it's not the seatbelt's fault, but the person's.

An Feng put on the coat and got out of the car, shivering a bit.

It was already the end of September, and the northern nights were indeed a bit cold, especially since she had just woken up.

"Let's go."

The tall and imposing director immediately took a position upwind to shield the delicate actress from the chill.

At this point, if the actress played a bit weak and leaned into the director's arms, they could walk together with arms around each other.

Unfortunately, this was the set.

"Director, you're here. An Feng, quick, come and get your makeup done."

They obviously saw the director's Rolls-Royce Phantom parked downstairs but didn't come up immediately. Who knows what embarrassing thing they were doing down there.

"Thanks a lot."

An Feng sat in the chair and thanked politely.

Qi Hao also had to tidy up a bit. Time-wise, all his interactions with An Feng belonged to the male lead's memories.

"Qianqian, your skin is really nice."

The female makeup artist quickly called her by her nickname, after all, this wasn't their first collaboration.

Qi Hao liked to use his seasoned team for filming.

The previous cast and crew, as long as they were skilled enough, Qi Hao would definitely continue to use them.

However, upon hearing the makeup artist's words, Qi Hao felt a bit guilty.

Could there really be a fingerprint?

"I've been sleeping well recently..."

An Feng hasn't worked for quite a long time, so at home, she wakes up naturally every day.

"Don't you use any skincare products?"

The makeup artist chit-chats with An Feng while skillfully applying her makeup and styling her hair.

This show requires modern makeup, which doesn't take too much effort.

Although there's a pregnancy setting, it's early on, so no need to stuff a pillow under the clothes.

"Of course, I use some, but I don't have any special recommendations. I've asked some friends at a research institute to develop new skincare and cosmetics, maybe I'll recommend them to you in the future."

An Feng isn't a diva — her biggest request is to start work later and finish earlier, and not to work for over ten hours straight.

It's just a typical worker mindset.

So, she usually doesn't have any conflicts with the crew.

Besides, she is generous, often ordering snacks and gifts, making her even more popular.

However, she is not in a position of power.

Even if you say you've worked with An Feng and she's a good person, and those negative rumors are false, the haters won't be stopped; they'll keep hating anyway, with or without getting paid, not backing down until she's out of the industry.

Qi Hao listens on the side, not interrupting, pretending not to be familiar with An Feng.

But that's a bit insincere.

The makeup artist didn't just work on the last movie, "First Love, This Little Thing," where An Feng starred, but also did her makeup in "Lost on Journey" where she played a con artist.

So, even if she doesn't show it, inside she's rolling her eyes.

Directors are all the same.

Always thinking about exploiting actresses.

Especially our director, who has an absurd number of rumored girlfriends—at least forty just from his collaborations with actresses.

Moreover, makeup takes time, and some celebrities prefer quiet, while others like to chat.

They chat with the makeup artist, their manager, or assistant, and sometimes with other celebrities getting their makeup done.

Being a top idol in the entertainment industry, Qi Hao naturally becomes a frequent topic.

But it's not like people badmouth Qi Hao.

On the contrary, those who have worked with Qi Hao, especially his rumored girlfriends, usually praise him.

Generally, someone well-praised must be a good person.

But when a lot of women praise him, especially those with rumored pasts, genuinely and without any pressure, even with a hint of regret they didn't get closer,

it makes it hard to say Qi Hao is a suitable match.

An Feng seems inexperienced, so how could she resist someone like Qi Hao, the warmhearted guy?

Yet, no matter what, they dare not remind An Feng to stay away from a lady's man like Qi Hao.

Offending Qi Hao might result in his ex-girlfriends refusing her makeup services, potentially ending her career.

Damn it, that's terrifying.

Once the makeup is done, it's about time.

Though the hospital opens at eight, they need to clear the space for others by seven.

The hospital check-up is definitely a daytime scene.

But if the camera angles are well planned and the incandescent lights are strong enough, it can still look like daytime.

In front of the camera, An Feng sits on a chair at the clinic, looking at an ultrasound sheet from a pregnancy check-up.

She seems a bit lost in thought.

The camera follows Qi Hao as he approaches her.

An Feng looks up, sees her husband coming, and beams a bright smile. Then the two of them start discussing the embryo photo printed on the report.

In the end, the family of three embraces.

The scene is very warm, though unfortunately, there are no kissing scenes.

The scene isn't complicated. Despite several retakes, it gets finished within the allotted time.

However, we Huaxia people love arriving early for things like queues.

Like buying train tickets, or registering at a hospital.

Even though it's not yet seven, quite a few people have already seen Qi Hao and An Feng.

Nothing can be done about it.

Luckily, there are many staff and equipment at the scene, so there's not too much worry...

Damn it!

Of course, there's worry.

The scene was wrapped up before seven in the morning, but by ten-thirty, the news had exploded everywhere.

The whole internet is buzzing!

Qi Hao spotted going to the gynecology department with a mysterious woman!

An Feng spotted going to the gynecology department with a mysterious man!

The former only captured Qi Hao, the latter only An Feng, and there are photos of them together—not even trying to be subtle.

Even on the Weibo accounts where Qi Hao and An Feng are negotiating endorsements, they pull no punches.

Sina is all about media.

They claim to provide Chinese news 24/7 for global users, covering domestic and international breaking events.

Qi Hao and An Feng visiting the gynecology department together—isn't that enough of a breaking news?
