Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 129 - 126 Am I Awesome? (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Since it’s Immortal Sword, how can there be no swords? We must have them perform so swordsmanship on the spot, what do you all think?" The female host Hu Jing pretended to co up with this idea on a whim.

"We must have it!" The audience below naturally got excited as a group.

"Who do you want to see perform?"

"Qi Hao!"

Don’t doubt it, it’s all part of the script.

Not only do the hosts and guests on stage have a script, but even the audience below has one.

There’s a special teleprompter in the cara’s blind spot.

"I can’t, my skills aren’t quite up to par, how about letting Hu Ge do it?"

Although Qi Hao hasn’t appeared much on variety shows, after all, having been in the entertainnt industry for so many years, his so-called variety sense is naturally honed.

He even modestly declined a bit.

"I’ve already sung, you should do sothing too, the audience is waiting."

How dare Hu Ge go up there.

If he could perform, he would have volunteered during the eting.

The opportunity to perform swordsmanship on a variety show like this is simply the highlight of the whole program and would be praised to the skies by netizens.

Qi Hao humbly declined for a bit, and with everyone’s persistent urging, he took a sword from the staff and began performing in the open space everyone made.

He first made a sword flower.

This is a basic skill, but unfortunately, most actors can’t learn it.

If it were just making a sword flower, Qi Hao would only have gotten a laugh from the audience today.

No one would mock you, but they wouldn’t take you seriously either.

Fortunately, the sword flower was just a warm-up. As Qi Hao continued, neither the hosts nor the guests on stage, nor the audience below could do anything but stare in awe.

Swordsmanship, in truth, doesn’t have much practical value.

In ancient battles, more gē and spear were used, as they were longer and could be of significant use on chariots and horses.

Moreover, their forging cost was cheaper than swords.

The sword is a symbol of power and status, as well as a mark of rank in etiquette.

It simply looks good, looks good on its own, and looks good when perford with.

The type of swordsmanship that Qi Hao was performing wasn’t sothing people often saw, so the visual impact was particularly strong.

Could this be the legendary Exorcism Swordsmanship?

Especially when Qi Hao tossed the sword into the air, the hosts and guests all took a synchronized step back.

Even more absurd was the fact that Qi Hao didn’t use his hand but instead used his elbow, twirling it around his arm, and the hilt landed perfectly into Qi Hao’s hand, which he grasped seamlessly.

Qi Hao’s expression didn’t change, maintaining his cool and collected image, but inside he was already shouting.

Am I aweso or what?

Aweso!

The audience applauded one after another. Although they were planted, this ti they genuinely weren’t planted.

What was thought to be an ordinary TV series premiere event unexpectedly featured such an amazing swordsmanship performance.

It was totally worth coming.

Actually, what Qi Hao perford isn’t considered that stunning a feat within the swordsmanship circle.

Real masters might not even catch a sword with an elbow; perhaps they could catch it with sothing else—if they can’t catch it, they practice another swordsmanship without that part.

But alas, this isn’t the swordsmanship circle.

This is the entertainnt industry.

For a celebrity, especially a good-looking one, to do sothing like this, it’s as rare as a unicorn.

At the beginning of the year, when "Taking the Command" was released, in the final battle between Hong Jingbao and Wu Jing, Wu Jing used a sword, but that was in a movie; in reality, Wu Jing isn’t that formidable.

No matter how your swordsmanship appears in a movie, it pales in comparison to the shock of seeing it in reality.

"Amazing~"

Thankfully, the host was professional, and after the applause faded, the male host Liu Chao promptly regained control of the scene.

"Truly impressive!"

The female host Hu Jing didn’t know the technical level of the swordsmanship, but her direct impression was that it was cool.

No, I, as a Qi Hao fan, can’t hold it in any longer.

"What’s this swordsmanship called?"

The male host was a bit interested in learning, but it couldn’t be done with a real sword, just a prop.

Otherwise, the finishing move could slice your arm off.

Then you’d beco Yang Guo.

"Actually, I don’t know what it’s called either, I learned it from a Daoist."

Qi Hao truthfully said.

Just watched it once...and learned it.

Of course, performing it was the result of Qi Hao practicing every now and then.

However, the imagined version in others’ minds was far from reality.

It certainly must have involved a highly respected old Daoist who saw Qi Hao’s extraordinary potential and taught him this swordsmanship.

With Qi Hao’s swordsmanship, any subsequent content lost its allure.

After the program, everyone gathered for a al and then went their separate ways, and Qi Hao could confirm the completion of the task.

[Task Nineteen completed, rewards: Skiing 10, song "Love’s Main Song," a rest chair (system version)]

[Task completed, received training opportunity]

[Training NPC selection: Yang Mi/Tang Yan/Liu Shishi]

[Now issuing new task]

[Task Twenty: Stars need to play different roles in various settings and tis. They may be stars on stage, but entertaining with drinking in front of capital is also a necessity. Host, please attend a capital drinking party and toast to a big boss, male boss 0/1, female boss 0/1. Task difficulty: 3 stars, deadline: 60 days]

[Task completion rewards: Singing skill 10, song "Ten Years," 500,000 startup funds]

System version rest chair...

Qi Hao needs to buy a rest chair; whatever chair he buys becos the system version rest chair, complete with the system’s taphysical effect.

Wait a bit first, training NPCs Yang Mi/Tang Yan/Liu Shishi, are you kidding ?

Welco, boss, good evening!

Sorry, change a batch!

Qi Hao chose to give up, and then the system started random selection.

Looked pretty decent, but the ones Qi Hao repeatedly dismissed, like Yang Mi/Tang Yan/Liu Shishi, turned into Qin Hailu/Wang Qianyuan/Tian Yu.

Qi Hao chose Qin Hailu.

The new task was to attend a capital banquet to toast the big shots, which was super easy.

Now, inviting a capital bigwig to dinner was a piece of cake for Qi Hao.

For instance, when inviting Wang Chonglei, just one call: "Wang, co join for a al." Before he gets Qi Hao’s shares, he’s unlikely to refuse.

But female big shots...

They were indeed rare.

The capital circle was a man’s world; female big shots were extrely rare.

Does Cai Yinong count as a female big shot?

Qi Hao thought she probably didn’t, because the system required capital big shots.

Wang Jinghua definitely didn’t count.

Of course, the circle was so big, and there were countless capital forces.

There truly weren’t any female big shots.

But if you ask a female big shot, with no prior intersection, for a al, it’s easy to be misunderstood.

Moreover, once misunderstood, facing Qi Hao, a pretty face, lady big shots might be overjoyed.

Luckily, there’s a two-month deadline.

A 500,000 task is worth doing, not to ntion an additional ten points in singing skill attribute.

It would be great if it were director attribute.

Qi Hao now lacked director attribute the most.

Next, Qi Hao was thinking of going location scouting for "Steel Piano."

Not because location scouting needed him as the director to personally choose, but mostly to see the site and ask Zhang ng for so advice in passing.

Next ti directing, can’t always find soone to guide again.

Although Zhang ng was the producer, he was handling all sorts of work, clearly beyond the normal scope of a producer.

However, before setting off, Qi Hao had quite a few things to do.

First was visiting his hotown; this year it’s very likely to spend New Year’s in the Northeast.

Although Qi Hao wasn’t going ho for New Year’s for the first ti, he usually made a trip ho around the New Year.

Have a al with the family or accompany dad to watch an opera or listen to crosstalk.

Qi Hao set off for Jinn, asking Zhang Nan to buy him a good recliner for when he returns.

The new house was just renovated, still airing out the sll, so Qi Hao went straight back to the old house.

The old house was close to the school where Qi Hao’s parents taught, convenient for sheltering during windy or rainy days, so it wasn’t for sale.

Qi Hao’s Santana 2000 discreetly parked by the roadside.

Half of it on the curb; the car’s powerful cross-country ability made maneuvering very simple.

Qi Hao entered the courtyard, seeing Shen Sanshui downstairs just about to go out.

"Hey, Qi Hao!"

Seeing the big star, Shen Sanshui was a bit surprised.

"Mm, heading out?"

Qi Hao’s gaze lingered on the shiny hairstyle for a mont before shifting away.

Not only did he get a trendy hairstyle, he was also wearing quite a nice outfit.

"Yeah, going out," Shen Sanshui said with a wry smile, "My mom wants to go on a blind date."

"What!" Qi Hao was shocked, "Aren’t we the sa age? You’re already going on blind dates?"

"Yeah, I’m off then." Shen Sanshui sighed heavily and walked away with heavy steps.

Qi Hao looked upstairs, hesitating if maybe he should just leave.

The small building had three floors, housing five or six families; news spread quickly.

The second floor, the Shen family boy going on a blind date, his own parents would surely know.

Would they push him to find a partner too?

Sigh, born in ’81, almost 28, and let alone marriage, he didn’t even have a girlfriend; it’d be strange not to hear nagging.

It was the weekend, and Qi Hao had called before coming back, so his parents were both at ho.

The family chatted for a bit, and Mrs. Qi predictably brought up Shen Sanshui downstairs.

"Haozi, your classmate downstairs..."

"Oh, I just saw him, exchanged a few words, and then he left."

Qi Hao took a sip of water, pondering how to handle the imminent marriage talk.

"Him, I heard he’s started making money writing novels, over ten thousand a month. Everyone thought he was just goofing around, turns out he’s managing quite well."

Mrs. Qi, being an educator, was a bit emotional about the tis changing.

How could it be that anyone can write novels these days?

When she taught Shen Sanshui, she confiscated his extracurricular books multiple tis and even called his parents to school.

Who would’ve thought, the things perceived as a distraction from studies back then, would now beco a ans of livelihood?

In this era, earning over ten thousand a month was almost equal to an average annual salary.

"Mom, it’s the internet age now. How about I get you a computer at ho, so you can surf the web when you have free ti?"

Qi Hao was relieved, glad the topic wasn’t about finding a partner.

As for Shen Sanshui now being able to support himself, and with a considerable inco, he thought it was a good thing.

"No rush for that. Do you know Shen is now also anxious to find a girlfriend?"

Mrs. Qi’s determination was strong; it wasn’t that easy to change the topic.

"It’s not that he’s anxious to find a girlfriend, it’s that his mom is anxious for a daughter-in-law, forcing him to go on blind dates."

What Qi Hao saw was clearly Shen Sanshui’s helplessness.

"Don’t try that excuse, aren’t you supposed to look for a partner too!"
