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

"Directly announce it publicly?"

Lei Ruoxi couldn't help but doubt Zhanqi Laiden's professionalism, or rather, she suspected Zhanqi Laiden wasn't considering her Qianqian's standpoint.

In business terms, Zhanqi Laiden is the core of Qi Hao's team, and he will definitely prioritize Qi Hao's interests.

It's very rare for celebrity couples to merge their teams for operation.

Because there will be conflicts of interest between them.

If they get divorced someday, the restructured team would be hard to split.

Some celebrities remain married for the sake of interests, even if each leads their own life.

"Yes, times have changed, it's impossible to have a hidden marriage like Liu Dehua. Those who have hidden marriages must have a prerequisite, that is, the two people can't both be in the industry."

Zhanqi Laiden hit the nail on the head.

When neither of them is retiring from the industry, a hidden marriage is indeed impossible.

"Would announcing it in stages be better? A bit of pre-heating might make it easier for fans to accept."

Lei Ruoxi was at a loss.

Her side's An Feng has more of an idol image, and her annual pay isn't much due to not taking many roles.

Mostly relying on business.

And business depends on fans, depends on popularity with the public.

Whether it's announcing the relationship or getting married, it's a fatal blow, business resources will definitely need a shuffle.

"I understand your concerns, announcing the relationship publicly isn't without strategy."

Zhanqi Laiden was very calm now.

This is the team of the boss's wife, they will have a lot of dealings in the future.

Dealings that will not only be frequent but also very long-lasting.

"Don't worry~ with An Feng's resources, there's nothing to worry about, including on the business side..."

Old Tian hadn't gone home either, holding Ao Bai, he was listening in the office.

Mainly worried that Zhanqi Laiden wouldn't hold back.

If he thinks you're dumb, he won't hesitate to mock you.

He'll stab straight into your heart.

By that time, the team's reputation won't hold, and An Feng's side will definitely have some sort of reaction.

Their relationship might break up even before it's announced.

Qi Hao has been in the industry for more than ten years, and seriously treated only one girl like this.

If he has to choose between his woman and his brothers, he'll likely choose to let his brothers down.

"Thank you, President Tian, can I listen to An Yu's plans?"

Old Tian's stance reassured Lei Ruoxi quite a bit.

This seasoned agent has been following Qi Hao for more than ten years and has only managed Qi Hao, but is still regarded as a top agent in the industry.

Because he brought out Qi Hao alone, which is equivalent to others managing ten or eight stars.

More importantly, Qi Hao trusts him completely.

Just an agent, not only became the person in charge of Qi Hao Studio, but after the studio upgraded to a company, he became the general manager.

Qi Hao opened several companies, all managed by him.

If it weren't for discussing Qi Hao and An Feng's public announcement issues now, Lei Ruoxi would want to gossip about Qi Hao and Old Tian's inevitable connection.

Why are you two so close?

Is our Qianqian marrying over to be the boss's wife, or to be the mistress?

"Ahem... Don't worry, we'd rather lose the boss's interests than not take care of everything about Miss An Feng."

Zhanqi Laiden was amiable.

Holy moly, she actually knows my name, knows my real name!

"No need to exaggerate."

Lei Ruoxi quickly declined, they weren't planning to take advantage.

Since it's a discussion, naturally they should work out a plan acceptable to both parties.

"I'll have Lu Yang, the director, post a Weibo saying his next film might have a scene where Qi Hao sinks An Feng into the lake, and they may need to row a boat themselves, so they're arranging for a friend's workplace to provide equipment and technical guidance..."

Zhanqi Laiden handled it effortlessly.

"Sinking into the lake? Is there really such a plot?"

Lei Ruoxi was startled, as a public relations person, she instinctively assumed this was to attract attention.

Qi Hao couldn't possibly be addicted to playing villains.

Our adorable little soft girl, just over twenty years old, and you can't wait to sink her into the lake?

"There is a sinking plot, but indeed no rowing, that's not important, mainly to give an explanation, to make their previous statements seem real."

Since An Feng said it was preparing for filming.

No matter what, it must be preparing for filming, not a date.

Lying isn't a good habit, nor a good persona.

Once identified as lying, whatever you say next, people will refer back to this incident to question you.

Since the boss's wife's interests must be protected as well, Zhanqi Laiden must resolve this issue.

"Let me note that down, then what?"

Lei Ruoxi recognized Zhanqi Laiden's skills, so she didn't try to impose her public relations strategies.

She just learned more details.

Based on their situation, made appropriate adjustments.

The matter of them rowing on the lake went over like that.

The next step, have An Feng or Qi Hao accept an interview, discuss the topics...

Zhanqi Laiden's plan is to mess up the timeline of this romance, not having started a few months ago, but now.

This way, there won't be any issues.

"We can let Qi Hao do it, he likes acting."

Old Tian is not polite at all; he can already imagine Qi Hao's performance.

Surely on the show, when asked if he has any plans for romance recently, he'll smile shyly and say he already has someone he likes, and is cultivating feelings, but hasn't confessed yet.

So for now, it's not convenient to tell everyone.

He'll quickly handle his feelings, and if there's a definite outcome, he'll be sure to share it with everyone first.

"That works too, our boss is thick-skinned."

Zhanqi Laiden thought for a while and also felt Qi Hao was more suitable, after all, during the boat ride, it was An Feng doing the talking.

Qi Hao himself comes off as someone secretly passionate.

"You guys... shouldn't you discuss with Mr. Qi Hao first?"

Lei Ruoxi watched helplessly as the two sold out their boss.

Dug a hole, buried a bit of earth, and even stomped on it.

"No need, we're doing it for his own good."

Zhanqi Laiden's various actions, mainly to protect Qi Hao's reputation.

Finding himself liking someone, and decisively chasing after it, announced it to the public once captured, anyone would praise him for being manly.

Hidden marriage or romance, once exposed, doesn't harm An Feng much but troubles their boss greatly.

Liu Dehua's hidden marriage for many years, once exposed, nearly everyone sympathized with his wife.

No one considers that the husband's out there working tirelessly, earning billions—lost money in business before, otherwise, it would be more.

And she doesn't need to work, nor worry about livelihood.

There might even be a nanny at home.

Teaching the children has specialized one-on-one tutors.

Such a happy life, where do netizens get the stand to sympathize with Liu Dehua's wife, thinking she suffered all these years?

And Liu Dehua's hidden marriage is a stain he can't wipe away in his lifetime.

Zhanqi Laiden certainly doesn't wish for Qi Hao to take this path.

Would rather let Qi Hao suffer a bit short-term but expose this romance decisively.

"Miss Lei, if you have any concerns or requests, you can mention them here, including publicizing the romance or career development after marriage; both teams can communicate."

Old Tian played the role of the stabilizing force.

Indeed, he had the qualifications to discuss these issues with An Feng's team.

"We..." Lei Ruoxi looked at the other team members, and finally, she spoke: "We hope their teams can continue running independently after they are together."

Some things are not suitable in Qi Hao and An Feng's discussion scope.

It's better left to the people below them.

Like how artists rarely negotiate their own pay, it not only seems low but can hurt feelings.

"That's totally not a problem!"

Old Tian looked down on An Feng's meager agent income; his biggest worry was An Feng's side demanding shares.

For example, if Ms. Liu were to demand Qi Hao provide Zhonghao, West Hao, or even Donghao shares as bride price to show sincerity.

That would be troublesome.

If Qi Hao is a love-brain, even Old Tian's counsels would be useless then.

"Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any other requirements."

Lei Ruoxi looked at the others; everyone shook their heads, not feeling there were any requirements to put forth at this time.

Want shares? Want resources?

Please, not mentioning whether An Feng and Ms. Liu are those types of people, even if there were such demands, they shouldn't be brought by them.

Moreover, from her knowledge of An Feng, these things wouldn't even enter that young woman's mind.

She's so proud.

"Polish the details well and let's proceed according to this plan for now. Once sorted, I'll talk to Qi Hao."

Old Tian yawned and called it a day.

Sleeping a bit later doesn't matter to him, but Ao Bai needs proper rest.

After a round of discussion.

The fully fleshed-out public announcement plan was in front of Qi Hao.

Letting him go on a show to dissect inner feelings, though a bit embarrassing, is no big deal.

He's a movie star after all.

Lu Yang quickly took action, when heated discussions arose online, he stood up declaring himself as the somewhat irresponsible director.

No one really knows this so-called director.

He doesn't have any noteworthy works under his name.

If it were not for Qi Hao and An Feng sharing his Weibo post, he might have been dismissed as a clout-chasing crazy netizen.

Then, shortly after, insiders came forward to claim him, the official Weibo from "First Love, This Little Thing" confirmed Lu Yang was the executive director of the movie.

The newly founded "Those Years" official blog also stated Lu Yang was the executive director of the film, being Qi Hao's right hand in both movies.

And now, he is starting to shoot independently.

The next movie will invite Qi Hao and An Feng to star.

With such explanations, the credibility increased greatly, but along came the disappointment from the CP fans.

Despite all this, they're still not together.

Could you please do us a favor and fulfill everyone's wish?
