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

"Haha, Daoist Master! Long time no see, how have you been?"

Qi Hao greeted him.

"Hmph, it's only been a few months."

Daoist Suiyun definitely wouldn't draw his sword on Qi Hao.

By then the police wouldn't just confiscate his weapon so simply.

"This time I need to trouble you again, Daoist Master. The weather in the south is nice, if you like it, you can stay a few more days."

Qi Hao pretended not to feel guilty at all.

"Cut it out, when did you learn our Daoist swordsmanship?"

Daoist Master flicked his hand, and the sword flew up, spun around his arm a few times, and finally returned to his hand.

The sword hadn't even been unsheathed and he handled it so skillfully.

"Ah, I can't learn it?" Qi Hao looked very surprised.

"Nonsense," Daoist Suiyun snorted, asking, "I don't remember teaching you this swordsmanship, how did you learn it?"

He's completely baffled.

"Accidentally recorded it and learned by watching."

Qi Hao said half-truthfully.

Saying I learned it after just one look is indeed a bit over the top, better to keep a low profile.

"You learned it from watching a video?"

The fake Daoist was so shocked that he dropped his sword, but thanks to his martial arts instincts, he caught it with his foot and it flew back into his hand.

"Yeah, it's not that hard."

Qi Hao watched the fake Daoist question his life with a bit of a mischievous look.

In fact, he could memorize it after one look, but to actually perform it required hundreds of practices.

Eyes: Learned it by sight.

Body: Exhausted! Exhausted!

Due to being too busy recently, not enough time has passed, and with the occasional need to review previous "lessons," the routine the fake Daoist performed last time in Anshan, Qi Hao still hasn't truly learned it.

"Times have changed, gosh, cameras are incredible."

In the past, secret techniques were passed down from generation to generation.

Only the simpler ones could be recorded with drawings.

"Not just cameras, surveillance cameras are everywhere too; when you go for a massage, everything is caught on camera."

Qi Hao was fooling Daoist Suiyun again, and started scaring him.

"No way..." Daoist Suiyun was dumbfounded, but he quickly reacted, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, I was just getting a simple foot bath, I didn't go for a full service."

"98, 198, or 298?"

"Of course, 298 is the best." The fake Daoist responded without thinking.

Eighty-eight was calm enough, and hearing eight hundred excited him suddenly.

"Actually, the most thrilling part is not getting the foot massage, but giving it to the girls."

Qi Hao patted his shoulder, quickly dispelling the fake Daoist's hostility.

This fake Daoist, who loved drinking and telling dirty jokes, was actually quite simple-minded.

"Gosh, there's a service like that? You're quite the expert."

Daoist Suiyun's eyes lit up.

"I wouldn't say I'm an expert; I've only heard about it. You know, you meet all kinds of people at drinking tables."

Qi Hao quickly denied it.

"I see, I see. Same here," Daoist Suiyun replied with a genuine monk-like demeanor.

"I'll arrange a room for you, oh by the way, Daoist, what's your favorite color?"

Qi Hao decided to send a small gift, and by the time filming started in two days, he could still invite this guy to show a new sword move.

"I'm a Daoist, of course I like purple."

Daoist Suiyun replied without hesitation.

Feeling a bit itchy for something exciting, wondering if this sham serious playboy of the entertainment circle was starting to get it, arranging a bunch of girls for the night.

Asking for a color might mean deciding what outfits the girls should wear.

But in the evening, he was dumbfounded.

Qi Hao sent him a "Daoist Seven Fragrances," all beautifully packaged in purple.

He couldn't say anything bad about it, but felt an emptiness inside.

You're really quite a character.

The next day and the third day, several celebrities arrived one after another.

Although initially they might not have any scenes, if none of them came, the start-up ceremony would seem too deserted.

Especially those newbies, who would basically rush over to join for a group photo.

Wang Luoyong and Kong Lin also came.

Both had gained a wave of popularity acting in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," but the roles of Guo Jing and Huang Rong in the series were different from those in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

They were absolute main characters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Anyone who played Guo Jing and Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" practically enjoyed the benefits of their roles.

The most classic of which was the 1983 version, becoming an insurmountable classic.

The less impressive, like Hu Ge and Lin Yichen's version, even if poorly acted, at least sparked another wave of popularity for them.

But for Guo Jing and Huang Rong in "The Return of the Condor Heroes"...

Forget about enjoying the benefits, not getting criticized would be good enough.

For the new generation of protagonists, the previous generation is clearly sacrificial.

Authors are the most ruthless entities.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" first aired in 2006, and reran several times afterward, even aired for several years in Taiwan and Xiangjiang, it's still in the profit phase even now, yet Wang Luoyong and Kong Lin hardly have any heat left.

It's not that they can't find acting jobs, but they don't have particularly good resources either.

Qi Hao invited them to act in a film, and they agreed without much hesitation.

It doesn't matter if the roles are small.

The key is that Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Yang Guo, and the Little Dragon Girl are collaborating again, so the buzz will definitely be high.

The audience will be very curious.

Will Mr. Guo and Madam Guo still prevent Guo'Er and Auntie from being together?

In the entertainment industry, buzz equals resources.

Don't be fooled by how awesome Wang Luoyong is in musicals; Kong Lin's boyfriend is still a tough figure, but in this circle, there is no saint, and everyone wants resources and to earn money.

Otherwise, when you're old, you have to go to Miguo to scavenge for food.

When they saw Qi Hao and An Feng, they were as enthusiastic as if they'd seen money.

There was no dissatisfaction about playing minor roles at all.

Wang Luoyong arrived yesterday, but it was already late when he arrived, so the staff just arranged for him to rest.

He only met Qi Hao today when they started filming.

Kong Lin arrived this morning, just in time for the opening ceremony.

"Mr. Guo, Madam Guo..." Qi Hao joked to lighten the mood.

"We've leveled up this time, playing your parents," Wang Luoyong said, feeling a bit emotional upon seeing Qi Hao, impressed that he still remembered them.

"Haha, every time, I see you two in love,"

Kong Lin also laughed; her role wasn't big, and Qi Hao promised to prioritize her scenes, so this film wasn't a burden for her at all.

"This time... maybe don't oppose it,"

An Feng said with a pitiful tone, which left Kong Lin quite shocked.

In her impression, An Feng was very polite, a well-mannered child well-protected by her mother.

That's not a bad thing.

Only female celebrities know how difficult life in this industry can be for them.

Having someone protect you almost obsessively is truly a blessing.

But such protection also hinders a young girl's growth.

When facing real setbacks or when her mother's protection is gone, An Feng might have a tough time.

However, the An Feng Kong Lin saw today was completely different.

This girl had become so confident.

Not only was she directing people on set, but she even took the initiative to joke with them.

It seems that hardships really do make people grow.

As they chatted and laughed, the set was also in full swing, making final preparations.

The opening ceremony's venue was the school gymnasium.

This film had many school scenes, and the production hired a vocational school with a nice environment. Since the school had just started enrollment, there weren't many people, so a large area was allocated for the crew to shoot.

Newcomers like Li Jiahang not only lacked any star attitude but even volunteered to help with the work.

When you're new to the industry, you're full of energy.

Zhang Ruoyun saw this and helplessly joined in.

But Shen Teng, Tian Yu, Qin Hailu, and the others could wait calmly; there's a difference between newbies and veterans.

Experienced actors know that you shouldn't casually help on set.

If something goes wrong, you can't take the responsibility.

And sure enough, as Li Jiahang helped lift things, his hand slipped, and everything scattered all over the ground.

"Hey, can you even do this?"

The staff was troubled; all the bits and pieces tumbled out, visibly damaged.

Cleaning them up was a hassle, and if there weren't enough, it would be even more troublesome.

"Sorry, sorry."

Li Jiahang flexed his fingers; though he was quite strong, he rarely did physical work, and after helping for a while, he felt sore and weak.

It was indeed his fault.

"Alright, hurry up and help clean it up. The director is reasonable; the props team should also check if there's enough and immediately arrange if needed."

An Feng came over upon hearing the commotion and swiftly resolved the issue.

"An Feng is?" Wang Luoyong was puzzled.

"She's our producer, managing a lot of things," Qi Hao explained with a smile.

Kong Lin could pretty much see.

Wang Luoyong, being straightforward, was now shocked that An Feng could even be a producer.

It was indeed so playful!

Of course, it's just child's play; as long as both production companies agree, even making An Feng the director wouldn't be an issue.

Perhaps because An Feng was so different from her impression, the always decisive Qin Hailu was now quite impressed with her.

As for Tian Yu...

He seemed to keep a respectful distance from beautiful women.

"Daoist Master, why not perform a routine?" Qi Hao invited Daoist Suiyun with a sly grin.

The others were also filled with anticipation.

It was no secret that Little Fatty Sheep would invite Daoists for their rituals.

Qi Hao performed a dazzling swordsmanship routine on a variety show; while no organization claimed responsibility, most people believed Qi Hao had undisclosed ties with Daoism.

Clearly, they had connections.

"Hmph, not interested!" The fake Daoist turned away.

"Daoist Suiyun!" Qi Hao made up serious nonsense: "Look at the current situation, whether in films or among the public, it's all about monks and Buddhism; who still remembers that Daoism is our traditional religion."

The fake Daoist's face suddenly looked bad.

Though his Daoist heart wasn't very firm, he truly loved the Daoist profession.

Qi Hao's words directly struck a chord with him.
