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

"It's great to collaborate, but for an important role... haha, you know, I'm quite busy these days."

Qi Hao never really liked getting involved in such hype.

A bunch of A-list and super A-list stars crowding together to do events and shoot movies. It seems like it can boost prestige, but with so many people packed in one place, where's the prestige in that?

Also, prestige isn't something given by others.

Whether you're impressive or not is your own business.

Just like now, others are all begging Huang Jianxin to get a role in the film, obeying all kinds of arrangements.

Even Zhou Xingxing expressed his desire to participate.

But when it comes to Qi Hao, it's Huang Jianxin who is actively inviting him.

As long as you're impressive, everyone will praise you.

"You're really going all out, just wrapped up and starting shooting again, looks like the cinemas are almost filled up with your movies."

Huang Jianxin said sourly.

First, it was "First Love, This Little Thing," then "Lost on Journey," and in the middle of the year, there's "Uncle" and "Those Years."

I've heard there's another one they invested in, "Hello! Mr. Tree" and "Kuiba," both set to release this year.

Oh right, there's also Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly."

It's also scheduled to release this year.

Before Jiang Wen's film was made, no one was optimistic about it, avoiding Jiang Wen like the plague.

At one point, the project couldn't even gather enough investment, having to find Qi Hao's back-end Coal Boss with more money than sense to buy shares.

Who would've thought Jiang Wen would have to rely on Coal Boss money to make a film.

Everyone's waiting to laugh at it.

However, everyone might be disappointed this time.

Huang Jianxin personally visited the set, and though he didn't see the footage, just watching some of their filming segments gave him an impression in his mind:

Jiang Wen is impressive!

"Let the Bullets Fly" is impressive!

This movie definitely won't be bad, whether in reputation or box office.

By then, people will also say Qi Hao has an impressive eye.

The most important thing is that not only is their quality high, but their quantity is also incredibly impressive.

In twelve months a year, damn it, six movies.

Did you open your own cinema!

"Boss Gao is generous, he gives money when it's needed, it has nothing to do with me."

Qi Hao said, blatantly lying.

Today, a few Coal Bosses and Real Estate Bosses also came to the scene, all friends of Gao Yang.

Just like the film circle mocked Jiang Wen, at first, the Coal Bosses also mocked Gao Yang.

You're a coal miner, running off to make films, do you really think there's no barrier to entry?

Unexpectedly, this company really did make movies.

Not only did they produce films, but they were all good films.

For awards and reputation, there's "Wait and See" and "Steel Piano," and for box office there's "October Fortress" and "First Love, This Little Thing."

Not only did they earn fame and box office, but they also trained their daughter.

Perfectly avoiding the coal industry winter.

According to the coal mine reform plan, by the end of this year, the number of mines in the province will be reduced by more than half, from over 2,600 in 2009 to about 1,000, and the number of coal companies will shrink from over 2,200 in 2009 to about 100.

Those Coal Bosses who used to dominate the scene will either be forced to transform or collapse due to illegal activities.

At least, many early "investments" won't be recovered.

And Gao Yang, who ventured into film and real estate back in '08, not only saw his wealth snowball, but also gained a kind of respect that regular Coal Bosses find hard to achieve.

Envy of others.

"Old Gao, is that young man your prospective son-in-law?"

An old man of short stature, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and a cigar in the other, exuding a nouveau riche vibe.

"You mean Qi Hao? My brother!"

Gao Yang chuckled, it was quite clear that Qi Hao and Gao Fei were not compatible.

Qi Hao had experienced too much, his inner pride and dominance wouldn't be shown, but they couldn't be hidden from an old fox like him.

Besides, Qi Hao had already found his footing, almost nothing could force him to compromise.

In film terms, Qi Hao is the real-life domineering CEO.

Not only did his daughter, Gao Fei, dislike this type, but he also didn't want this type of person as his son-in-law.

The best is to find a compliant one to join their family.

"Ah, you consider Qi Hao your brother, since that's the case, could you introduce my son and Gao Fei? My son is a top student at West Pacific University, and is a classmate of Tang Jun."

The short nouveau riche was ecstatic, wasn't this opportunity just falling into place?

If he could get Gao Yang's daughter, capturing Gao Yang's billions of fortune, then their family's wealth could reach billions.

"Haha, I can't promise anything, you know, young people these days don't buy our ways at all..."

Forget your damn West Pacific University, that place is just a diploma mill.

I don't know if he's a top student, but I'm sure your son's not over 1.6 meters tall, that's a nailed-on fact.

What makes you think you're fit for my 1.7-meter tall daughter, Gao Yang?

"Well, if there's a chance, bring him along, we'll have a meal together."

The short and stocky tycoon laughed with anticipation, thinking, "No matter how capable you are, Gao Yang, you have a daughter, which can't compare to our son."

"Old Cai, let's not discuss this matter for now; let's talk about that piece of land of yours..."

Gao Yang, a tall figure at 1.8 meters, wrapped his arm around the short tycoon's shoulder, like carrying a chunk of pig's head meat.

"Oh yeah, you really shouldn't touch that land..."

The short tycoon suddenly woke up from his dream. He also entered real estate but couldn't save enough money due to lack of connections and had a criminal record, which made it impossible to get a loan. So he had to borrow money from Gao Yang to acquire a prime piece of land.

The development prospects were damn good.

He thought he could repay the money after the development.

But to protect the creditor's rights, he had to develop it within a certain period; otherwise, he had to transfer the land to Gao Yang for development at a low price.

Now, due to various reasons, he simply couldn't come up with the money to develop the land.

But if he handed over the land to Gao Yang according to the contract, he'd not only make zero profit but also lose over seventy percent of his investment.

Most of his assets would be gone.

"Old Cai..."

Gao Yang casually set a trap and unexpectedly caught this idiot Cai.

If you didn't target my daughter, I could've gone easier on you.

Now...

I guarantee you won't feel a thing when you die.

Qi Hao socialized around at the celebration banquet, and after it ended, he was mentally and physically exhausted.

For once, he didn't spend eight hours in the training space that night.

Since he didn't go home for the Spring Festival, Qi Hao first returned to Jinmen before the filming of "Those Years" started.

"Bro, the movie you guys made is really good!"

Hu Shan would definitely go see Qi Hao's movie, and she even took his parents to watch it.

On New Year's Day, even though their son didn't come home, Mr. and Mrs. Qi saw him in the cinema, watching with a bunch of other audience members.

Seeing him and An Feng falling in love on the big screen.

"It's okay, just about two billion in box office earnings."

Qi Hao pretended to be modest, but he wasn't modest at all.

"Bro, you're really floating now, huh? Didn't you bring your girlfriend? It's been so long, why haven't you won her over yet? Are you..."

As a considerate younger sister, she can't say unpleasant things.

"You should worry more about yourself; it's time for you to find someone too!"

Qi Hao was speechless.

Since entering the workforce, his cousin has become much more cheerful than before.

In fact, even without Qi Hao's help, she was doing very well at the TV station. She not only secured a permanent job after her internship but also got favored by Leader Gu, who directly pulled her into the planning team.

"Haohao, is there some issue with An's mom not quite approving of you two being together?"

Mrs. Qi could sense something was off.

If they truly loved each other and were supported to be together, they would've probably arranged to meet by now.

"It's a small issue, I'll handle it. Just look at your son now, how could a mother-in-law not like a son-in-law like me?"

To prevent his parents from worrying, Qi Hao rarely showed any vulnerability in front of his family. He's always been optimistic, even somewhat vain.

"If there's a chance, you can arrange for me to talk to her mom. Trust me, it's more fit for me to talk than you."

Mrs. Qi used to worry about her son not finding a girlfriend, and now she's anxious that he's not being accepted, stressing out for his sake as well.

The main thing is, she really likes An Feng.

If the two can't end up together, she'd feel it's a pity for any other female celebrity from the entertainment industry to become her daughter-in-law.

"I'll try first, and if it doesn't work, I'll call you, Mom, to step in."

Qi Hao was fairly confident in himself and didn't want his mom to beg that Old Witch.

If that Old Witch still dared to oppose, he'd elope with An Feng.

Anyway, the courtyard house has been renovated and is airing out. A life eloping to that courtyard house would fit perfectly.

By the time the Old Witch opposed for another two years, maybe the kid would already be out.

"You, she is an elder. Speaking a few soft words is nothing. Not to mention she's An's mom. If I were her, I might also not want An to be with you. You don't even know how bad your reputation is."

Mrs. Qi ran into a situation a while ago.

While chatting in the park, she happened to overhear people talking about related affairs.

At that time, a lady said even if she had a daughter, she wouldn't marry her to someone like Qi Hao, a playboy.

A dog cannot stop itself from eating shit, even after marriage, he'd still mess around, making a married life with him short-lived.

In fact, Mrs. Qi certainly had faith in her son.

She never believed her son was a scoundrel who plays with girls' feelings.

Quite the opposite, the boy is very persistent in matters of the heart.

If he doesn't like someone very much, he wouldn't bother taking advantage of any so-called opportunities.

But ordinary people wouldn't know that.

Scandals, if they didn't mislead people, no one would waste time hyping them up.

Qi Hao had one scandal after another, and many people had heard at least three to five, which easily left people with the impression that he was a playboy.

Although Mrs. Qi is a teacher, an intellectual, when it comes to her son, she turned into an ordinary woman, and couldn't help but debate with that group of ladies.

In the end, she not only lost miserably but was also suspected of receiving eggs from Qi Hao.
