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

The male and female leads were rehearsing on the side, and no one dared to interrupt them.

Fortunately, Qi Hao seemed to know some boundaries and soon released An Feng.

Well, only partially released.

He still held An Feng, just looking at her like that.

"Is my makeup smudged?"

An Feng felt a bit uneasy being watched; she thought Qi Hao's gaze contained too much, like a volcano repressed for a long time.

This had never happened before.

"No, it looks good, come on, let's shoot."

The kiss scene was about to begin filming.

Lu Yang very considerately cleared the set, making all unrelated personnel avoid it to prevent any awkwardness between the two.

As a rule, it's just a kiss scene, there's really no need to clear the set.

People usually clear the set for intimate scenes.

Many film and television shows intentionally arrange people to watch the leads shoot kiss scenes just to help the leads fully let go.

"Three, two, one, action!"

Lu Yang shouted, and before his words were finished, Qi Hao and An Feng were already kissing.

This is a fantasy scene.

As a rule, at this time, the male lead should be kissing the groom, but as he kissed, he started imagining he was kissing the bride.

Let's just say that writers are capable of such flights of fancy.

Qi Hao initially thought An Feng would dodge or even push him away; after all, Qi Hao had filmed many kiss scenes, but this was An Feng's first.

Unexpectedly, An Feng didn't do that.

Docile like a little kitten.

A soft little kitten.

Even though many were watching, Qi Hao still felt his heart racing with excitement.

The feeling was so good that he wanted to sigh.

An Feng didn't appear so calm; she felt she couldn't hear sounds or perhaps there were many roaring sounds in her ears, and she couldn't see anything either, just felt dizzy with a kaleidoscope-like whirl of colors.

When Qi Hao released her, she still seemed a bit dazed.

It was as good as imagined, yet not exactly what she expected.

Oh no, her first kiss was gone!

"Director, take a look yourself."

After this scene was filmed, Lu Yang invited Qi Hao to check the result.

"You should have shouted 'cut' earlier."

Frowning as he watched the monitor, Qi Hao wasn't dissatisfied with the visual effect, but felt it didn't match the emotional interaction between the two characters.

Two people in love kissing each other in a fantasy.

Since it's a fantasy, it should break away from reality.

An Feng didn't act proactively enough, at least her response wasn't enthusiastic enough, this shouldn't be the case in the male lead's fantasy.

"You didn't shout 'cut' either."

Lu Yang felt innocent; he was watching from behind the monitor while Qi Hao was in the scene.

Qi Hao himself didn't know if An Feng's performance was an issue.

Besides, whether to shout 'cut' or not depended on Qi Hao, if he shouted but didn't meet his intentions, wouldn't he be courting trouble?

Being a director is truly hard.

Especially working under someone else.

"Ah, you all are really mean."

Qi Hao sighed; he hadn't noticed earlier, possibly because he was caught up in the moment.

Having been in the industry for years, Qi Hao had filmed many kiss scenes.

But rarely had he felt such emotional turmoil as today.

Qi Hao could only repeatedly remind himself that this was acting, and as a professional actor, he couldn't be too amateur. Though he acted well, he overlooked whether the co-star's performance was suitable.

He just felt his co-actor smelled really nice.

The bright moonlight by the bed, brother you're so fragrant, five-flower horse, thousand gold coat, a delightful brother is hard to come by.

Accidentally overdid the kissing.

An Feng sat on her chair, really wanting to cover her face with her hands to cool herself down.

But she knew doing so would appear unprofessional to others.

No can do!

Must act as if nothing happened, otherwise, she'd be laughed at.

Qi Hao might even laugh at her, you know.

"An Feng... An Feng... Qianqian?"

Qi Hao called her three times before she raised her head to look at him.

The girl raised her head, her eyes like a clear spring, with reflections rippling like stone thrown into water.

Qi Hao looked, somewhat lost in thought.

Fortunately, he quickly regained composure, cleared his throat, and said:

"There were some issues with the scene just now, we'll have to shoot it again, don't look at me like that, I certainly didn't do it on purpose."

"Then let's shoot again."

What else could she say? He's the big director, while she is just a small, weak, pitiful, and helpless actor at his mercy.

"In this scene, we both need to be more proactive, but even this proactivity needs to be controlled, don't distort the face with kissing."

According to the plot, when emotions are repressed to a certain level and then released, it's reasonable for it to be intense, and can even have a better effect.

But from the perspective of film art, this is a youth movie, following a beautiful theme, be it plot design or anything else, it should conform to the beauty principle.

Distorting the face while kissing certainly won't look good.

"I got it, anything else?"

Acting is serious business; An Feng listened carefully to Qi Hao, hoping to achieve excellent results in her first filmed kiss scene.

As for the future...

The future seems worrying; having filmed a kiss, especially with Qi Hao, she genuinely doesn't want to film kiss scenes with others.

But as an actor, is it okay not to film kiss scenes?

"Try not to close your eyes, or open them too wide, half-opened is best."

Qi Hao is the director, and he has a complete movie scene in his mind. He can adjust it at any time according to their situation.

It's just that his businesslike attitude makes An Feng a bit unhappy.

"When you kiss me, are you very... very impulsive?"

An Feng couldn't help but be curious.

She didn't know if Qi Hao was treating the kissing scene purely as work or if he, like her, had a racing heartbeat.

"You'll know when the opportunity arises in the future."

Once the feeling comes, it's like an old house catching fire. The softer she is, the harder he becomes.

But this topic was a bit premature.

Qi Hao worried about scaring her off, and anyway, he had already waited for years, so he didn't mind waiting a few more months.

"Can I be your girlfriend then?"

After a moment of silence, An Feng suddenly said.

"Huh?"

This time, Qi Hao was really caught off guard.

As a man, how does it feel to be confessed to by a girl?

Qi Hao wasn't short on this kind of experience.

His years in the entertainment industry had many female stars, staff, and even female moguls confessing to him.

But he never really felt anything from it.

Just found it troublesome.

But this time was very different.

This was the girl he liked, and the girl he liked took the initiative to confess to him!

"What, you don't want to?"

An Feng had finally mustered up the courage, confident that Qi Hao liked her and she, too, liked Qi Hao.

She just hadn't come across Qi Hao's confession all this time.

So, she decided to just take the lead.

Unexpectedly, Qi Hao's reaction was like this, not at all the "overjoyed" she imagined.

"Ahem, mainly the environment is a bit chaotic, you should have set up a candlelight dinner, ring gifts, and then get down on one knee..."

Qi Hao hadn't finished speaking before he was hit.

This noise would certainly alarm others on the set.

What's happening?

Why did the actress hit the director?

Could it be the director made some excessive demands, and the actress hit him in anger.

"This is not about you guys, just acting. Mind your own business."

Lu Yang sighed inwardly, what kind of things he dealt with all day.

The eunuch chief couldn't be more considerate than him.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting, if you keep hitting, you'll really be a widow." Qi Hao carefully grasped An Feng's hand and asked softly, "Qianqian, I've liked you for a very, very long time. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"How long?"

An Feng suddenly stopped hitting.

She suddenly felt a bit wronged, if you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have had to be so forward.

Mom said not to be too forward.

"For years, five or six years..." Qi Hao really wanted to hug the girl in front of him now.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the right occasion.

"Then why did you have so many rumors?"

In recent years, rumors about Qi Hao were especially frequent, and An Feng was upset many times with her mother always exaggerating and saying Qi Hao was unfaithful.

"They're all fake, not a single one is real. I'm sorry for making you wait so long. You were too young, and I was too cowardly..."

Qi Hao narrated the story of Ms. Liu approaching him to talk back then.

"My mom really said awful things!"

An Feng frowned beautifully, she always suspected her mother met with Qi Hao back then.

She didn't expect it to be true.

And that her mom actually found Qi Hao and scolded him.

"From her standpoint, she wasn't wrong. I understand her."

Qi Hao chuckled.

As long as the outcome is good, nothing else matters.

"I confessed first, you should agree with me first."

An Feng suddenly remembered, it was clearly her who confessed, how did it become Qi Hao's confession.

"Alright, I agree to be your boyfriend."

Qi Hao was helpless, he just didn't want An Feng to feel wronged, letting a girl confess just didn't feel right.

"Hey, you two, can we shoot now? Didn't we say we'd try to finish filming today?"

Lu Yang couldn't help urging them.

He could see that something must have happened between Qi Hao and An Feng.

The atmosphere seemed to have suppressed emotions.

He was really afraid the two would embrace and kiss right there on the set.

Even if forced to explain that it was acting, with so many people in the crew, some information would inevitably spread.

"Coming."

Qi Hao brought An Feng back into work mode.

The timing of this confession was a bit chaotic, Qi Hao originally planned to wait until the film was finished, then take An Feng on a trip and find a specially atmospheric moment for the confession.

That would have been a beautiful memory to cherish for a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, An Feng was so impulsive and confessed to him first.

Was he really too slow?

Making even a normally laid-back girl unable to stand it anymore.

The second kissing scene, the two indeed found it easier to get into character.

Hmm… even more intense.
