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

"Hahaha~" The host chuckled awkwardly and sighed, "That's such a pity."

If Qi Hao and An Feng are not together, as the movie "First Love" continues to ferment, they will become an unresolved longing for many people.

Moreover, considering that Qi Hao and An Feng have just finished filming another youth movie, it makes the situation even more unresolved.

It was thought to be true love, but turns out it was just a pleasant collaboration.

"That's how it is with movies, what is presented is one side, and the real world is another."

In the movie, we are lovey-dovey; in reality, we are even more so.

The host chatted a bit more, seeing that they were indifferent to anything, had no choice but to let them go.

Next up was Xie Tingfeng.

They could talk about his wife who took some scandalous photos with others, and it's rumored she's pregnant with a second child.

If he's willing to talk about it, it's undoubtedly a hot topic.

Love is like leaves; it's either green or yellow. Being 'green' is nothing; one must be graceful.

Anyway, in their circle, they all have fun betraying each other.

Qi Hao and An Feng were led off the red carpet and into today's Golden Image Awards venue.

"Qi Hao~"

Qi Hao spotted Lu Sang right away, wondering if he was deliberately waiting at the door.

He didn't even notice if Lu Sang walked the red carpet.

"Lu... Director, a pleasure to meet you."

Though there once was some discord between them, in face-to-face situations, they had to exercise restraint since it's a public setting.

You ask what if it wasn't a public setting?

Then Qi Hao wouldn't mind having a showdown with Lu Sang to see whose skills are superior, Lu Sang's Samurai Way or his Daoist Swordsmanship.

"There were some misunderstandings in the past. I've always wanted to explain it to you, but unfortunately, there hasn't been an opportunity. Finally, today I've run into you."

Lu Sang didn't beat around the bush.

Qi Hao's status is extraordinary now; not only has he become a director, but also a capital force. In such settings, he is surely the focus, with many people lining up to connect with him, so Lu Sang didn't have much time to make small talk.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

Qi Hao looked bewildered. He had previously received an invitation to dine from Lu Sang, but he couldn't possibly attend, so he dodged it in various ways.

After being brushed off several times, Lu Sang gave up.

Didn't expect him to wait for him here.

Even if he knew...

Even if Qi Hao knew Lu Sang was waiting for him here, he wouldn't avoid attending the event.

What ability does this guy have to make him retreat?

If he'd known, he'd have bribed the media to intercept Lu Sang at the airport, asking if he came to Xiangjiang to flaunt, whether he was going to Lan Gui Fang or Bolan Street.

Spend some money to ruin him by Hong Kong media.

"Oh, if you don't mind, that's good. At that time, I was just blinded by greed. Your film was just too amazing, so I doubted it wasn't made by you."

Lu Sang climbed the pole.

Since Qi Hao said there were no misunderstandings, Lu Sang took it as a reconciliation between the two.

Besides, he already apologized, what more could be expected?

"Haha, you're not the only one who thought that way. It's normal. Director Lu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You see, I might soon be a bit busy."

There were quite a few people around Qi Hao watching closely.

He was even more popular than Wang Chonglei of Mrs. Hua since Mrs. Hua's investment projects were quite distinctive.

Moreover, Mrs. Hua would meddle in projects.

Qi Hao established the National Animation Development Alliance, not only integrating resources for the industry but also investing in several animation films in a hands-off manner.

From the directors' standpoint, they definitely liked such investors.

"You're into investing now, right? I think our misunderstanding is not likely to clear up in a short time. The public are idiots who just parrot others, but if you could invest in my movie, I think the rumors would naturally be disproven."

Lu Sang spoke seriously.

He probably convinced himself first and then used this rhetoric to persuade Qi Hao.

Have to admit, Qi Hao was almost convinced by his logic.

Now he was starting to worry about Lu Sang's mental state.

Upon closer inspection, Qi Hao found that Lu Sang had indeed changed a lot compared to last year. He had noticeably more white hair, more wrinkles on his face, swollen eyes, and a listless look, as if he had suffered some major blow in life.

Could the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have abandoned him?

Being abandoned by one's master is probably the only blow that could drive someone to madness.

"So, what do you think?"

Seeing Qi Hao remain silent, Lu Yu became a little anxious.

If it were merely a single movie that went awry, it would actually not affect him significantly. Besides, you could only say his movie wasn't good enough; there was no evidence of treason.

The most hurtful thing was being reported for going rogue, then losing his reputation completely.

As a result, no audience would recognize him anymore, and no one would be willing to invest in him. Eventually, in the eyes of others, he lost all his value.

Money was gone, social status was gone, and even his social circle disappeared.

This dealt a huge blow to him.

From the beginning of hatred, he gradually turned to admiring the strong—if you can't beat them, can you join them?

He suddenly thought of clinging to Qi Hao for support.

As long as Qi Hao is willing to invest in him, he could make a complete comeback, and by then, all the money and status would return to him.

"Director Lu, you've only been saying, but I haven't seen your script yet."

Qi Hao was speechless.

This guy actually came begging here; isn't this a case of desperately seeking help in the wrong place?

If you ask who most doesn't want this guy to make a comeback, it's definitely us.

Now that we know he has plans for a comeback, he'll definitely be watched closely; if he tries to stick out, he must be crushed right in the cradle.

"Alright, I'll prepare it as soon as I go back. Have you heard of the 749 Bureau?"

Lu Yu was overjoyed, and his mental state was indeed a bit off, believing wholeheartedly in Qi Hao's words.

No choice, he's already sought help from everyone he could.

There was basically no one who still wanted anything to do with him.

Qi Hao dispatched him with a few words, then started conversing with others.

Manfred Wong came up to congratulate:

"Haha, congratulations on the success of the new movie! Several films in a row have been blockbusters, it's truly enviable."

He's a big shot from Xiangjiang, and his interactions with Qi Hao mainly involve "Lost on Journey" and "Let the Bullets Fly."

The screenplay for "Lost on Journey" was introduced to Ye Weimin by him.

Now "Lost on Journey" has been hugely successful, and he naturally has no small share of the credit, so Qi Hao is still very courteous to him.

After some pleasantries, Manfred Wong started to complain about the Golden Image Award.

Qi Hao suspected he was giving himself a heads-up, advising not to have high expectations for the awards.

But in reality, he was here asking for favors.

The Golden Image Award is too poor now, and Qi Hao is rolling in money, so he hoped that Qi Hao could find a way to secure more sponsorship for the Golden Image Award.

Like Maotai liquor, BYD cars...

As long as Qi Hao is willing to help, there's no worry about finding solutions.

"Big shot, you just said that the Golden Image Award is getting more and more 'Xiangjiang-centric,' and since as a mainlander, I'm destined in this life not to win the Best Actor of the Golden Image Award, why should I bother?"

Qi Hao was amused by his intentions.

Don't know whether it's because his status is different now, making many things appear laughable, or because he has more money, increasingly looking like a fool with money.

Lu Sang sought him for investment, the Golden Image Award sought him for sponsorship.

"Things are always changing; as long as you work hard, the direction of change will be positive."

Hearing Qi Hao mention Best Actor, Manfred Wong's expression shifted slightly.

He was wondering, was Qi Hao hinting something?

If you're given the Best Actor, would you then help with sponsorship?

"Take it one step at a time."

Qi Hao was not very interested in pulling sponsorship for the Golden Image Award. The award's exposure is too low now, sponsorship fees might just go down the drain.

Why should he pit his shareholder companies for the Golden Image Award anyway?

Take it one step at a time, if it doesn't work, fail halfway!

After chatting with Manfred Wong and others for a while, Qi Hao talked with several movie folks, and finally simply dragged Zhang Chenyu to act as his shield.

Naughty Ghost Studio participated in the special effects production of "Red Cliff 2: Decisive Battle of the World" and "Wind and Cloud II," both of which were nominated for Best Visual Effects.

Zhang Chenyu, the head of this studio, also came to join the fun.

"I'm mainly here to witness the boss winning the award."

"Oh, come on, the Xiangjiang filmmakers are not so kind to give me awards."

Qi Hao was more hopeful that An Feng would win the Best Newcomer Award.

Although An Feng's acting isn't great, her role in "October Fortress" is quite clever, and she might have a chance at winning.

Xiangjiang hardly has any decent newcomers now.

"You say this, but I'm the exception, I'm in Xiangjiang but my heart is in the mainland."

Zhang Chenyu protested.

"Old Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Qi Hao realized he'd lumped everyone together, quickly trying to make amends.

Zhang Chenyu helped him oversee the special effects company, setting down immense contributions.

Recently, the studio has also expanded quite a bit.
