Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years
Chapter 145 - 142 Excess Gold Content (Requesting Double Monthly Tickets)

Chapter 145: Chapter 142 Excess Gold Content (Requesting Double Monthly Tickets)

The album had decent sales as soon as it was released.

Of course, there’s no way it can compare to Jay Chou; it’s just too far off.

The main problem is that the song "Nocturne" rewarded by the dog system is a bit outdated. Otherwise, it could really go toe to toe with Jay Chou.

Playing Chopin’s nocturne for you, in memory of my lost love.

After all, when "Nocturne" plays, it’s time to go on stage and accept the award.

But still, even though it can’t compare to Jay Chou, when you compare it to other second- or third-tier professional singers, Qi Hao, this guy releasing an album for the first time, has really shocked the entire music scene.

Could it be that Qi Hao wants to become a professional singer?

He does have the ability to cross over!

They were truly overthinking it. Qi Hao has no interest in that at all.

In the short term, he won’t be releasing a new album, unless he reaches a point where the system rewards him with excellent songs.

He doesn’t care about the little money from selling albums.

Although the marketing was done right, with all kinds of promotion starting last year, Qi Hao really wasn’t expecting this to make money.

If he was, he wouldn’t have spent so much money on making an album.

As long as the money’s in place, you can get great quality made.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer good songs; it’s mainly because the record market isn’t doing well. If singers invest too much, they risk losing money, so naturally, they don’t want to invest more.

If they invest less, the quality is often indescribable.

Qi Hao’s mini-album selling well shows that there’s still a market for good songs.

This level of popularity makes Zhejiang Satellite TV very happy.

As it happens, they are about to broadcast "Chinese Paladin 3."

On the album’s song information, Qi Hao didn’t hide the fact that there’s a track from "Chinese Paladin 3," which brought in quite a bit of traffic.

Many people suddenly remembered that Qi Hao had a TV series about to air.

Who would have thought he sang a piece for the series, and that just a mere track would be so pleasant to the ears.

How amazing must the theme song be!

Then remembering "Chinese Paladin 1," with its full score and songs, everyone is even more looking forward to this drama.

In such anticipation, the originally planned schedule to air the variety show after the drama was broadcast was moved up by Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Now, right away, strike while the iron is hot.

While the variety show was airing, Qi Hao was filming and couldn’t take leave to go back and watch the show.

But he could read messages during breaks.

He brought a driver for tonight’s filming and left his assistant Li Xiaomeng to watch the house.

Li Xiaomeng would send him clips and online feedback via QQ, which wasn’t much different from watching the show.

Variety shows are different from movies and dramas; the editing isn’t as heavy-handed.

As long as there’s no live accident, the main storyline won’t usually be edited.

Otherwise, it would be misleading.

For example, if a guest says something is A, and through editing it’s changed to B, and if the show’s intent is more sinister, such editing could easily turn malicious.

To gain buzz and topics, they intentionally edit celebrities to be more talked about.

There’s no choice. In a competitive market, variety shows have KPIs too; they need to survive, and for buzz and topics, who cares about professional ethics.

Some variety shows even accept bribes from fans.

Fans offer "favors" to the program team and hosts for their artists to get more screen time.

Of course, there are also fan club leaders pushing for this.

They professionally scam ordinary fans and end up taking a big cut of the benefits.

Mango TV is probably where malicious editing is worst.

Of course, Zhejiang Satellite TV isn’t much better.

Qi Hao, being the biggest star on the show that day, if they wanted to seek buzz through malicious editing, cutting him would be the quickest and most effective.

Edit him into a creep, or a bully to junior artists...

One must be cautious.

Qi Hao had Li Xiaomeng and others keep an eye on the show, to guard against this.

However, he was really overthinking it.

Zhejiang Satellite TV purchased the premiere rights of "Chinese Paladin 3" at a high price for the sake of ratings and sponsors.

As one of the leads, Qi Hao is a key figure in securing sponsors for the show; they have no reason to tarnish his image. If they ruined Qi Hao, they wouldn’t benefit.

So the broadcast of the variety show came across well, and the online comments were all positive.

Shi Wuyin: Reading a book in costume, Qi Hao looks kinda handsome. I thought he was already handsome enough as Yang Guo.

I Love Sugar Cane: This is fake, right? Seriously, who reads books nowadays? Ask everyone here, who read a whole physical book last year.

Light Rain on the Orchid Boat: People in the entertainment circle love to set up cultural personas. It’s fine if others do it, but Haozi, let’s not join this bandwagon. You only have a middle school education.

Wen Wanye: Anyway, I believe it. If he didn’t have any real knowledge, he couldn’t name those books.

Dao Fei Dao 619: Qi Hao has been in the industry for over ten years, has he ever faked anything?

Qianyu Fan: He has, all his scandals are fake.

Y Like the Wind: Haha, you’re out of words, aren’t you? If you argue he never fakes anything, then those dozens of scandals really make him seem like a century scumbag. If you say his scandals are fake, then you’re contradicting yourself.

The Stone from the Glass World: Actually it’s simple. Doesn’t Qi Hao often do interviews? Just have a reporter ask him a history question and see what happens.

Celestial Kingdom Lighthouse: This kind of easily debunked cultural persona, Qi Hao really doesn’t need.

Golden Ketzin: Whoa, what did I just see.

Xiao’s Peking Duck Shop: Damn, this swordsmanship has some real skills! If I could carve ducks with this swordsmanship, our duck shop would definitely become the number one Peking duck shop in Anhui Province.

Old Bean Xi Xi: It’s more than just some skills. With this set of swordsmanship, even considering the entire entertainment industry, including professional action stars, I don’t believe there are ten people who can pull it off. Especially the final move, that’s way more substantial than those who can only twirl sword flowers.

Maybe Love is Really Too Hard: Look at the expressions of the women at the event, they’re all mesmerized, even the female host wasn’t spared.

At the Sunset Across the Mountains: I heard that Qi Hao is having quite the time with a "one-dragon-two-phoenix" setup in the crew, so is that true?

Bro Sausage: Yes, I was under the bed at the time.

Cold Moon Black Sand Ghost Guarding Corpses: I was that bed.

Passing Uncle Soy Sauce A: I happened to pass by and took a photo. If anyone wants it, add me on QQ, QQ number: 63226523...

A Pool of Shattered Duckweed: In the torrent of the world, finding a girlfriend is already exhausting. In this era where aspirations are hard to pursue and everything difficult to achieve, wanting to marry and have kids is probably tougher than climbing to heaven. Why do you have to hog two?

Gaze Shimmer Bright: With just the acting skills of these main actors, I think the TV drama won’t be too bad.

The Wind is People Returning: The song Qi Hao sang, "This Life Will Not Change", is so flavorful. His singing may not be top-notch, but his voice is truly nice. I’m playing it on repeat; I just can’t stop.

What is Destiny?: Really? I thought Qi Hao was just an amateur singer releasing an album to cash in. But if that’s what you say, I’m definitely going to buy the album.

I’m the Real Yi Laugh: I’ll be impressed if you can even find it to buy. The stores around us are already out of stock.

Qi Hao himself is a top idol star, and recently he’s been in the news non-stop. Never mind the scandals, he actually became the first among young actors to become a director.

Such an operation was only done by Xu Jinglei before.

But compared to Qi Hao, Xu Jinglei is from the previous generation.

Moreover, everyone knows her situation, so they don’t think her becoming a director is a big deal.

But for Qi Hao to become a director, it’s purely his own daring move.

Spending three million on a script is simply madness.

However, according to the "Steel Piano" crew he directed, the staff said Qi Hao being a director was very successful.

The whole crew respects him a lot.

Even the doubts about him just watching from the sidelines while professional directors directed were refuted by the on-site staff.

Ninety-five percent of the movie was directed by Qi Hao.

Forget about the producer; even the assistant director didn’t get to direct. Qi Hao’s first time being a director gave him such a big thrill that he didn’t even personally have, so how could he let someone else take the opportunity?

Now, he’s released an album again.

The skeptics became even more numerous.

Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs run. It’s understandable for you to become a director after acting for ten years, but releasing an album is too much.

What do you have to release an album for?

Look at those actors who released albums, only Zhou Xun had one good song.

The rest are basically just messing around.

However, after the album was released, everyone realized its content was a bit above average.

After investigating, they found that Qi Hao spent over a million on this album.

This big fool... it was worth it!

In conclusion, the variety shows are good, the album is good, and everyone is looking forward to the TV drama.

The only bad part is that Qi Hao’s scandals are too rampant.

Previously, it was all about one-on-one relationships. Although frequent, it didn’t touch on ethics and morality.

But now it’s rumored that he’s into multiple partners at once, which is too much.

Don’t say that the innocent remain innocent.

When people hear you not only have many rumored girlfriends but also engage in group outings like a time management master, who would dare to marry their daughter to you?

Qi Hao hopes what makes him breathless are the girls’ charms, not life itself.

"Taijun, what are you thinking about? Hurry up, it’s time for the meeting."

Wang Zhiwen came over to call Qi Hao.

Over the past few days, Qi Hao and Wang Zhiwen have finished most of their scenes together and have started filming ensemble scenes.

Everyone will be appearing.

The scenes with Qi Hao, Li Xue’xue, and Zhou Xun were left for the last to shoot.

No way around it, doing these torturous scenes is difficult to shoot.

It’s not just Qi Hao and Li Xue’xue; even Zhou Xun, who is seasoned and known as the movie elf, keeps pondering how to shoot these scenes.

You can’t just rely on the director.

That way, these shots can’t be made with enough impact.

In contrast, these ensemble scenes aren’t too hard.

The actors involved are mainly Zhou Xun, Li Xue’xue, Zhang Hanyu, Su Youpeng, Wang Zhiwen, and Ying Da.

All are powerhouses.

Don’t underestimate Ying Da; Qi Hao used to drink with him and Jiang Wen. He’s Jiang Wen’s childhood friend.

Regarding this guy, Qi Hao always thought he was just a drifter, not related to professional acting, just having wide connections.

But after watching a few scenes, I realized you really can’t underestimate this guy.

His portrayal of Jin Shenghuo is indeed impressive.

If he truly focused on acting, he might be a powerhouse too.

Qi Hao thinks this person’s acting is good, that person’s acting is also impressive, and actually, everyone else thinks the same about him.

Even Zhou Xun, who knows him very well, thinks Qi Hao has transformed incredibly in just a year.

She feels he can now rival her on stage.

What to do, feeling a bit heart-stricken, damn.
