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

"Buy publicity... that's not really necessary..."

Just give a little information, and the media rushes in like sharks smelling blood.

Right now, they're talking nonsense without any evidence, let alone if you have hard proof.

"If we don't make an official announcement now and someone sees the ring, what should we say?"

An Feng plans to share notes with Qi Hao.

Qi Hao seems more interested in exchanging saliva with her. After a few kisses, he casually says, "Just say it's a coincidence; it's not a matching ring."

Ever since the kiss while filming, they occasionally indulge in sweet reminiscences.

An almost 30-year-old virgin maintaining just this much shows his strong willpower.

"That's true... Anyway, you have so many rumors."

Insulting someone without exposing their weaknesses, yet Qi Hao has too many scandals—despite Qi Hao clearly stating he's not into rumor-spreading anymore, others can't resist the urge to become famous.

Especially those who just entered the industry or have been in it for years without success, those without fear of losing it all.

For instance, this time Qi Hao came to Xiangjiang to attend the Golden Image Award.

He skipped the post-award celebration banquet.

So, the question is, where did he go?

Not less than ten Xiangjiang's up-and-coming stars, models, and nightclub queens claimed Qi Hao spent the night with them.

Qi Hao is so powerful, made them ache all over.

Speaking with conviction and detail.

Hong Kong media don't hold back; unlike mainland media, where significant entertainment-related online media are controlled by internet firms, with Penguin and Sina—the biggest ones—having Qi Hao as a shareholder, and thus not keen on hitting a boss.

Hong Kong media don't care about this.

They feed on reporting celebrity gossip, diametrically opposed to stars. A while back, the abduction of Liu Jialin stirred the scene; West Weekly's photo exposure triggered a mass protest in Hong Kong's entertainment circle.

Back then, Fang Long, Mei Yafang, Zhang Guorong, and others stepped forward in support, ultimately leading to West Weekly's shutdown and accountability for involved personnel.

However, shortly thereafter, West Weekly reopened under new management.

Thus, in just two days, Qi Hao supposedly spent the night with over ten of Xiangjiang's beauties.

Nobody considers if his kidneys can handle it.

Everyone knows he's intense.

After playing in Xiangjiang for two days, Qi Hao and An Feng flew to Sichuan Province.

They visited the pandas and revisited Jiuzhaigou.

It's where they filmed The Return of the Condor Heroes together.

The scenery is indeed beautiful.

Previously, when Qi Hao pursued An Feng, filming often got in the way, like Mr. Tree, Uncle, Those Years.

Qi Hao frequently overshot budgets or deadlines, but unlike those directors who shoot for months or years, he would find ways to make up for overages.

Relying on mystical chairs to recover strength and stamina, working overtime.

With payment on point, everyone's happy to work extra.

Only An Feng got the short end of the stick.

Qi Hao expressed interest in her, yet in over half a year, their dates were countable.

So, whenever Qi Hao had free time, he'd compensate An Feng.

Of course, he didn't forget to donate to the disaster-affected areas.

Recently, a quake hit Yushu with considerable damage.

Many stars donated.

An Feng, lessons learned from donating too much last time, refrained from speaking up. It wasn't until Han Hong donated 200,000, Huang Xiaoming donated 200,000, and even Qi Hao Studio donated 200,000, that she, under public pressure, also donated 200,000.

This donation triggered a fair amount of criticism.

Previously, when your earnings were low and mostly from endorsements, totaling a few million annually, you donated one million. Now with annual earnings in the tens of millions, you donated only 200,000?

That's unkind wealth.

Even Qi Hao, you being so wealthy, worth billions, yet donating only 200,000?

But the quick slap in the face followed.

Feiyang Media's CEO Gao Fei quickly announced that the company would donate 20 million from its film First Love, This Little Thing's box office earnings to the disaster areas.

The global box office for First Love, This Little Thing hasn't been released but is expected to be around 300 million. Along with DVD sales, overseas, overseas remakes, TV broadcasts, online streaming revenue, the production side's profit share should exceed 100 million.

Donating 20 million makes sense.

Among the film producers are Qi Hao and An Feng, with Qi Hao holding 30% and An Feng 20% stakes.

Based on the 20 million donation, Qi Hao donated six million, An Feng four million.

Using film box office earnings for donations is reasonable.

Thanks to the public's support, my film made money, I'm giving back some of it to society; nobody could criticize that.

Plus, this doesn't count as personal donations.

Upon their return from Jiuzhaigou, Qi Hao and An Feng threw themselves into work.

They attended the April 25th Bazaar event together.

This year's Bazaar Charity Night garnered significant attention.

Earlier this year, a user named "Donation Route" posted on Tianya Community alleging that Zhang Ziyi hadn't fulfilled many announced donations made during the 2008 earthquake.

Back then, Zhang Ziyi initiated a fundraiser at the Cannes Film Festival personally for the Great Earthquake, supposedly raising $1 million from international friends.

Zhang Ziyi personally donated 1 million RMB to the Red Cross.

Subsequently, netizens launched a "human flesh search," questioning the completeness and destination of the donations.

Moreover, a local netizen from Miguo has revealed that the so-called "Zhang Ziyi Foundation" has already become an English learning class, long "in name only."

According to investigations by netizens, not only did 160,000 of the 1 million donated by Zhang Ziyi not reach its destination, but most of the funds she previously raised were also proven not to have been fulfilled.

Thus, Zhang Ziyi is now caught in the fraud donation gate.

There are also related events like the Chengdu fraud donation gate and Fang Long fraud donation gate.

Nowadays, the term fraud donation has become tightly linked with charity, even the Bazaar Charity Night has faced considerable skepticism.

After all, they were exposed last year for having a donation that still hasn't been realized.

And that's just what's been publicly revealed—who knows what the situation was like in the past.

This time, Bazaar only invited big names to attend.

An Feng had agreed to go beforehand; she truly has a passion for charity.

She not only frequently participates in various charity events, but she also genuinely holds up the paddle, and is very prompt in giving money.

Since An Feng is going, Qi Hao can't be pretentious either.

Quite a few other big names also came.

Of course, for this year's Bazaar Charity Night, Zhang Ziyi definitely won't be coming.

She has always been a person of strong influence at the Bazaar.

In the charity Bazaar Night of 2008, the famous scene of "cheek-to-cheek kiss goodbye" with her ex-boyfriend Huo Qishan was put on.

Regular attendees of the Bazaar Charity Night, Deng Wendi and Zhao Yuxin are her friends—since the Demon-breaking Gate, they no longer count as good friends, and Zhang Ziyi doesn't dare mention anything, after all, they are like aunties.

With both the Demon-breaking Gate and the fraud donation gate, no matter how strong one's nerves are, it's impossible to attend a charity event in the short term.

It just goes to show people have reasons for thinking the entertainment industry is chaotic.

Qi Hao and An Feng attend the event, but he refused the Bazaar Charity Night's exclusive interview.

After asking An Feng, he also refused on her behalf.

Charity should remain charity.

Turning a charity event into the entertainment industry's Vanity Fair is really unnecessary.

Furthermore, Qi Hao requested An Feng to sit beside him.

In such occasions, seating arrangements are a very important matter.

It's not like you can sit wherever you want just because you say so.

Like the honored guest of Bazaar Charity Night, Zhang Lan.

In 2007, she bid 300,000 for a BVLGARI watch; in 2008, she bid 1.1 million yuan for a Zhaoyi Cuiwu jade necklace.

She spared no effort in supporting.

But when she wanted to arrange seats for two friends beside her, it couldn't be done.

Even when Su Mang personally called her to apologize.

But it just couldn't be done.

As for Qi Hao's request, it openly and subtly implies that An Feng is associated with him—it's even more explicit.

An Feng's status is there, sitting at the main table is fine.

But her issue is being sidelined by others.

Just like Fan Xuexue in 2007, four leading actresses wore black, but Fan Xuexue wore a purple-red V-neck. When going on stage for photo ops, Li Xue'xue, Zhou Xun, and Zhang Ziyi stood together, chatting intimately shoulder to shoulder, separated by Xiaoming, before it was Fan Xuexue's turn.

And at the digital film "Lily Award," Fan Xuexue sat at the same table as Zhao Yanzi, and it was reported she didn't speak a word throughout.

The years An Feng was targeted, it can't be said there was no relation to these female stars.

Some actively struck, some fanned the flames, some enjoyed the spectacle.

Therefore, Qi Hao's clear stance in defending An Feng is extraordinarily eye-catching.

It's not like Qi Hao hasn't sat with An Feng before.

When they had movies released, they often sat together to boost their films' exposure.

But now it's different, "First Love, This Little Thing" has already ended, "Lost on Journey," they aren't playing as a couple, and it's also about to go off the theaters soon.

Typically, the seat next to Qi Hao is a hot spot at dinner parties.

The seat next to An Feng is also highly popular.

If someone makes such requests, Su Mang could totally swap seats next to Qi Hao and An Feng to gain back some favors.

She navigates the fashion and entertainment circles with skillful maneuvering.

But now everything is thwarted.

Qi Hao won't even pretend anymore, he's clearly indicating his unusual relationship with An Feng.

Does Su Mang dare to reveal this?

She doesn't dare!

If it really gets leaked, she must desperately prove the information didn't escape from her side.

Additionally, besides Qi Hao and An Feng sitting together, their other side seats can't be arranged casually either.

Arrange a rumored girlfriend next to Qi Hao, or a suitor next to An Feng…

That's really committing a grave offense against Qi Hao.

Nowadays, no one really dares to offend Qi Hao anymore.

When a person is exceptionally wealthy, when they have sufficient money, status naturally follows.

After all, money makes the world go round.

Moreover, with money, it's possible to collude with power.

If they want to corner you, it's as easy as playing.
