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

Qi Hao has the caliber to win the Venice Film Emperor, so winning the Golden Horse Film Emperor is naturally without controversy.

However, the controversy surrounding the Best Actress award is significant.

Xu Fan, originally the biggest favorite for the Best Actress, returned empty-handed. Feng Xiaogang updated his Weibo that day, supporting his wife Xu Fan, saying, "She's a victim of line struggle."

Later, during a media interview, the jury chairman Huang Jianye, as the representative, disclosed the jury's opinion, stating that Xu Fan's effort in presenting the Tangshan accent and emotional changes was outstanding, but some judges felt her performance was somewhat intense.

Feng Xiaogang once again responded on Weibo, criticizing Huang Jianye's lack of professionalism and questioning the decisiveness of the "somewhat intense" comment.

He even cited Qi Hao as an example.

Qi Hao, a handsome guy, got himself into such a state—didn't he exert himself intensely?

Additionally, industry insiders indicated that there was improper conduct in the selection process for Best Actress, resulting in Zhang Aijia losing the award.

During the second round of voting, Zhang Aijia had 8 votes, Lü Liping had 7 votes, and Xu Fan, with only 2 votes, was eliminated; however, the jury did not conduct the third round of voting as stipulated, instead directly transferring Xu Fan's 2 votes to Lü Liping because they were both mainland actors, leading to Zhang Aijia's disqualification.

It hinted at the jury's excessive pandering to mainland actors this year.

The Best Actor was given to mainland actor Qi Hao, and surprisingly, the Best Actress was also awarded to a mainland actor.

Additionally, the Best Supporting Actress went to Hao Lei.

The Best Screenwriter went to Han Jie for "Hello! Mr. Tree."

Jury Chairman Huang Jianye helplessly continued to clarify, revealing that after Xu Fan's loss, the jury did indeed conduct a third round of voting as per the rules, and all judges voted anonymously, making it impossible to know who voted for whom.

Regarding the fairness issue, Qi Hao was also questioned.

He commented during the interview after the awards ceremony that the Golden Horse Awards might consider many aspects; there's no pandering to mainland actors. The Best Director, Best Picture, Best New Director, etc., are all local films from the Taiwan province.

Indeed, there is no pandering to mainland films and actors.

At most, it's just not pandering to Xiangjiang films and actors.

If Qi Hao waits a bit longer until the Xiangjiang Film Golden Image Award is announced, let's see if he can win another Film Emperor.

Qi Hao would refuse without hesitation.

As a mainland actor, winning the Xiangjiang Film Golden Image Award's Film Emperor?

Completely impossible!

They'd rather award a Film Emperor to a dog than a mainland actor.

After winning the Golden Horse Film Emperor, he immediately began the settlement.

[Congratulations to the host, Main Task 2 completed]

[Task completion reward: Stamina +10, script "Hurricane Rescue 123", 1.2 million shares of Apple stock]

1.2 million shares!

Winning the Venice Film Emperor, Golden Horse Film Emperor, Baihua Film Emperor, and Changchun Film Emperor has more than doubled the stock reward from the initial 500,000 shares at the task's release.

Including the previous 300,000 shares, Qi Hao now has 1.5 million shares of Apple stock.

Currently, Apple's stock price is close to the sky-high price of $300 per share.

The 1.2 million shares of Apple stock are worth $360 million.

In other words, "Main Task 2" brought him a profit of 2.5 billion RMB.

Apple recently indicated in a document submitted to regulatory authorities that during the fiscal year ending in September 2010, Cook received a $5 million bonus and $52.3 million in stock compensation.

Cook's total compensation in fiscal 2009 was $1.64 million, and his salary in fiscal 2010 remained around $800,000.

Additionally, Apple's CFO Peter Oppenheimer's total compensation for fiscal 2010 was $29.8 million, up from $1.4 million in fiscal 2009. Oppenheimer received a $28.4 million stock reward this year, while the basic annual salary remained at around $700,000.

The total number of circulating common shares of Apple is approximately 916.3 million.

With the addition of the 1.2 million shares, plus the existing 300,000 shares, Qi Hao has $450 million worth of Apple stock, roughly accounting for 0.16% of Apple's total share capital. Is it too much to say that Apple executives work for Qi Hao?

Completing a main task, Qi Hao surged several places forward on the wealth ranking.

But he remains very low-key and certainly wouldn't talk about it.

This time Tongzi was quite powerful.

Shortly after Qi Hao confirmed the completion of the task, it immediately triggered a new task.

[New Main Task Activated]

[Main Task 3: Best Picture is the highest honor for a comprehensive evaluation of the entire film, encompassing script, director, performance, technical aspects, and more. Deeply participate in a film and help the project win Best Picture. Task difficulty: five stars, deadline: 36 months]

[Task completion reward: Fishing +10, script "Interstellar," 3 million shares of Tesla stock]

Best Newcomer, Best Actor, Best Picture...

As expected, it's coming in a gradient, just not allowing him to win Best Director.

Apparently, it seems Best Director and Best Picture are not that different, belonging to the same level of awards.

Then the requirement is deep participation.

In other words, just having a name on it definitely won't work.

This puts an end to Qi Hao's chance of exploiting a loophole.

Otherwise, Qi Hao could spread money everywhere, investing in films both domestically and internationally, finding a bunch of potential award candidates, from the European Big Three to the Oscars, investing 10% in each and attaching his name as a producer.

As long as the film wins an award, he would share in the glory.

Unfortunately, the system requires deep participation.

Qi Hao either has to be an actor or a director; he doesn't know anything about other tasks like photography.

However, the system doesn't specify whether he should be an actor or a director.

So being either an actor or a director is fine.

This means Qi Hao can maneuver.

He can directly helm a film likely to win an award and also participate in one or two other films likely to win awards.

Putting the eggs in several baskets.

Money can make the devil work.

"Main Task 2" brought him a profit of $360 million, comparing it to investing millions to hundreds of millions of dollars in fulfilling this task, he wouldn't possibly incur losses.

Reward Fishing +10.

Uh, although Qi Hao grew up by the Hai River, he's never gone fishing.

Could it be that the system has already predicted his retirement lifestyle, assuming that as a middle-aged man he'll go fishing?

Are middle-aged men's hobbies really so narrow?

Script "Interstellar," sounds like a sci-fi film.

Whether it can be used or not is uncertain; after obtaining it, he should investigate to see if there's already a project in preparation.

Then the exciting moment came again.

Tesla?

The internet era truly is convenient.

Qi Hao quickly located information.

This is a Miguo company jointly founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, established on July 1, 2003, officially named Tesla Motors.

By 2004, Musk invested and became chairman of the company.

At the beginning of its establishment, due to uncontrolled costs, the company was once in crisis.

In 2008, the founders Eberhard and Tarpenning left the company one after another.

Musk became CEO, focused on reform, and external financing; the same year, the first model, Roadster, was launched.

This year, Tesla received a $465 million low-interest loan from the Miguo government and, after listing on the Nasdaq, started stable development.

The listing date was June 29 of this year.

At that time, the stock was priced at $17, raising approximately $226 million; on the first day of listing, the stock price soared by approximately 41%, closing at $23.89.

However, what Qi Hao found was that Tesla is still a fledgling chick.

The only vehicle for sale is the Roadster, with dismal sales, still struggling in the aftermath of the near bankruptcy in 2008.

Adding to this, the entire automotive industry is also slowly recovering from the financial crisis stage, so the stock price has been fluctuating.

It once reached a high of $35, but when Qi Hao checked, it was only $21.

At $21, 3 million shares would be worth $63 million.

The dog system isn't very helpful, huh.
