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

"Artistic Life" generated an immense amount of discussion once it aired.

Those who didn't focus on Qi Hao's love life would marvel at a middle schooler's ambition.

At fifteen or sixteen, he actually knew what he wanted to do and was willing to work hard for it.

Such a person, even if not in the entertainment industry, would never fade into obscurity.

Especially with his talent in English, it further proved the effort he put into realizing his dreams.

What parent wouldn't wish for their kids to be like this?

Aren't you a fan of celebrities?

Why don't you follow Qi Hao?

Look at who you're following now—can't compare with Qi Hao in looks or effort. Are you blind or just itchy?

Those who followed Qi Hao were shocked by him.

Qi Hao, as a popular young star, always had his love life as hot news, with even the slightest hint fueling the media for three months.

One set of rumored romances wouldn't even grow old before a new batch cropped up.

Seamless transitions were the most that could be said; overlapping and multi-threaded bridges were more accurate.

And Qi Hao never actively responded to these rumors.

He completely disregarded them.

This indifferent attitude left many actresses hoping to connect and gain a Fortunate Wife's Destiny feeling insulted in their self-esteem.

And when truly confronted, Qi Hao would outright deny it without hesitation.

But no one expected that he would one day change his usual practice.

He proactively confessed on a show that he had someone he liked.

The most outrageous part was that it was actually a secret crush.

Oh my God!

A secret crush!

Qi Hao, of all people, secretly liked someone! A successful person playing such an innocent game.

For a moment, nobody knew what to say.

It was truly challenging the limits of humanity.

Never mind Qi Hao—even if Huang Xiaoming said he secretly liked someone, people would find it unbelievable and think Huang Xiaoming was blind or crazy.

And now, Qi Hao was in a league far above Huang Xiaoming.

So, who exactly was he secretly crushing on?

Many began speculating about Qi Hao's crush.

Most suspected it was An Feng.

After all, if you have a secret crush, you wouldn't be likely to take other girls on lake outings.

Originally, due to Wang Baoqiang's wedding announcement, the buzz around Qi Hao and An Feng had declined somewhat.

The entertainment industry is never short of hot news.

However, Wang Baoqiang's spotlight hadn't lasted long before it was overshadowed by the news of Qi Hao's secret crush.

An all-around domineering effect.

It made people wonder if these two buddies had become enemies, using their popularity to attack one another.

Fortunately, Wang Baoqiang didn't care about such things; he really intended to get married.

Weng Jinyu had stuck with him through thick and thin.

During this time, many more capable people wanted to be his manager.

Especially back when he was with Mrs. Hua; several staff members were arranged to try and replace the rebellious manager, Weng Jinyu, to seek more benefits.

But Wang Baoqiang and Weng Jinyu weren't just in a working relationship.

They actually shared a bed.

After Wang Baoqiang left Mrs. Hua, the two even established a personal studio.

Weng Jinyu took comprehensive charge of Wang Baoqiang's career.

Several years ago, Wang Baoqiang had already taken Weng Jinyu to his hometown to meet his parents.

The Wang Family early on regarded her as a daughter-in-law.

They didn't think Weng Jinyu was unworthy of their superstar son; rather, they felt that without this smart daughter-in-law, their naive son would have long been cheated out of his wealth.

Now, Wang Baoqiang announced he was getting married.

People in the industry basically knew that he was to marry his manager.

Some even said that if Old Tian were a woman, Qi Hao might truly marry his manager too.

Even if there's no love, after so many years together, marrying the person right beside you feels more reassuring than marrying an outsider.

As for women…

No one ever said a man can only play around with his wife—especially in the entertainment industry.

Wang Baoqiang didn't choose Qi Hao as his best man.

It's not that Qi Hao looks down on Wang Baoqiang, but with Qi Hao's current status, if he really served as best man, it would make everyone uncomfortable.

Might as well have him officiate the wedding.

Wang Baoqiang plans to have the wedding in September when Weng Jinyu celebrates her birthday.

Originally, the two agreed not to hold a wedding.

It's not that Weng Jinyu didn't look forward to it; generally doing a girl good, only when women marry willingly do they rarely expect nothing of the wedding.

Her main concern was that it might affect Wang Baoqiang's career.

Indeed, Wang Baoqiang, being an Acting Faction member, wasn't negatively affected by marriage, but marrying a manager might make people perceive his team as a family-run business.

Moreover, Weng Jinyu is very beautiful.

She rarely stands in the spotlight with Wang Baoqiang.

Not because she minds his looks, but to avoid making him a subject of criticism because of her.

A plain-looking guy with such a beautiful wife.

The assumption: either he's rich, or he's wearing the green hat. That's what ordinary people think.

Wu Dalang's a typical example.

However, Wang Baoqiang insisted on holding the wedding.

He loves Weng Jinyu; at first, it might have been because of her beauty, he fell for her at first sight, but over the years, he grew to love Weng Jinyu as a person.

He hopes they can walk together honorably.

As for needing talent to match Weng Jinyu.

He actually doesn't care.

Having talent and a career, marrying a good wife—isn't that the meaning of many men's efforts in marriage?

Who doesn't like beauty?

Wang Baoqiang will only work harder in his career!

He is determined to tackle both commercial and artistic films, earning money with Qi Hao and finding ways to win an award.

Qi Hao invested in many movies, and being in Qi Hao's circle, he can naturally choose scripts freely.

He clearly shows his alignment with Qi Hao.

Leaning on their past struggles together, he thrives in Qi Hao's circle.

Even though Qi Hao stole his spotlight, he doesn't mind and cheerfully states that if they announce it, he could still attend his wedding together.

Qi Hao doesn't even need to rush to "confess".

Because "Heartbreak 33" has already started filming.

This movie has nothing to do with Qi Hao's mission, so he's not in a hurry.

Plans to leisurely shoot for two months.

On set, he'll also give the executive director more opportunities.

This film production is calm and uneventful.

Only executive director Han Yan, cinematographer Cao Dun, and An Feng as the lead actress reap significant gains.

Especially An Feng.

In recent years, she has been either transitioning or on the journey to transitioning.

But how well the transition is going, no one can say for sure. It's not like a game with upgrade alerts and job change quests.

No matter how well you transition, there are always supporters and critics.

So, An Feng put a lot of effort into her role as Huang Xiaoxian.

Huang Xiaoxian's stubbornness and sharp tongue during arguments, the sadness and grief after a breakup, and the desire to prove love through arguments and compromise…

For an actor, understanding how to portray this well requires diligent research.

For an actor's performance, the director is crucial.

A good director can turn talentless lousy actors into… lousy actors.

Alright, that's usually the case anyway.

But for good actors to improve, they still need a director's guidance.

An Feng chose to accept the director's unspoken rules for improvement.

Although there was no bedroom scene, intimate gestures and exchanges were common, and indeed it resulted in Qi Hao offering her all sorts of guidance.

He often refined her scenes repeatedly.

"Look natural; as you play Huang Xiaoxian, it's crucial to be natural. You need to infuse some life into your performance."

This movie by Qi Hao emphasizes naturalness and a sense of life the most.

Qi Hao completely ignores her flattery.

Amidst the crowd, he wouldn't really fall for this girl's tricks, would he?

After all, the public show had to continue because they had plans to announce it.

Who Qi Hao likes is self-evident.

Those who knew him well had not noticed any real interactions between Qi Hao and other women.

He had even forbidden rumors with other actresses recently.

The only exception was An Feng.
