Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 146 - 143: "Chinese Paladin 3" Broadcast (Seeking Do

However, Zhou Xun wouldn’t do anything irrational.

At most, she’d look at Qi Hao with new eyes and ntally put him in the category of the Acting Faction.

No longer a friend.

But a "rival" who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

Rival...

It’s fine to compete, but there’s no need to get worked up.

Qi Hao could sense the shift among these Acting Faction mbers in the crew towards him.

When he sought advice on acting, no one brushed him off anymore.

According to Wang Chongjun’s initial plan, focusing on filming Qi Hao’s scenes would wrap up in about ten days.

But Wang Chongjun wasn’t exactly professional.

For almost ten days, Qi Hao was filming scenes with Wang Zhiwen, and in the mid-period, he spent several days on group scenes he was part of.

During this period, even "Chinese Paladin 3" had already aired.

The quality of the TV series itself was pretty good, and with excellent promotion, it beca a hit the mont it aired.

Characters appeared one by one, each with their own storyline, crafted with great depth.

The ease of Jingtian, the liveliness of Xue Jian, the gentleness of Long Kui, the integrity of Xu Changqing, the infatuation of Zi Xuan—each left a strong impression.

So people called it a classic ensemble drama.

So even said it was the pinnacle of the fantasy genre.

That was kind of ridiculous.

Even Qi Hao, who used "The Most Famous Monkey in the Mountains" as his screen na, felt a bit embarrassed hearing that.

"Chinese Paladin 3" is still far from being the top of the fantasy genre.

If you claim it’s number one, then where do "Journey to the West" and "New Legend of White Snake" fit?

Aren’t those both fantasy and ensemble dramas?

Even if your characters are classic, can they surpass Sun Wukong, Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie?

You can’t even compare to those female demons who appeared in just one or two episodes.

Of course, it truly was a good drama.

Among the TV dramas airing at the sa ti, it was indeed ahead of the pack, though it’s unknown how it would rank for the year.

The character of Xu Changqing, played by Qi Hao, also received astounding discussion.

Many viewers believed Qi Hao portrayed a nuanced and vivid Xu Changqing.

The acting emperor’s performance was indeed extraordinary.

Qi Hao, with his exquisite acting skills, vividly depicted Xu Changqing’s restraint, endurance, deep affection, and decisiveness, giving the character a richness that surpassed its tough exterior.

From his first appearance in a plain Taoist robe, his every gesture exuded an immortal aura reminiscent of a walking ink painting, instantly captivating the audience.

Qi Hao skillfully used Xu Changqing’s growth trajectory to gradually reveal the character’s multifaceted personality.

At first eting, he is a cold, rule-abiding Taoist; as the story progresses, his love entanglent with Zi Xuan spanning three lifetis reveals his inner longing and struggle for love; with his close friend Jingtian, he shows selfless friendship and firm belief, willing to sacrifice himself for others.

In handling these complex emotions, Qi Hao maintained the character’s composure while releasing intense emotional outbursts at the right monts, making Xu Changqing’s image three-dinsional and full.

This character’s success owed partly to its conception, but mostly to the superb acting.

Another actor might not have the sa capability.

Moreover, Qi Hao’s casting brought another advantage.

His overwhelming popularity turned the TV series from sothing anticipated only by a niche group of ga fans into a broader audience attraction.

Many casual viewers started watching the series out of curiosity.

This aspect is very important.

Because the gaming community didn’t have a fondness for this TV series.

This was a very interesting ga, so why did it beco an idol drama?

Such dissatisfaction could generate public opinion, giving the TV series a negative reputation.

If others only see or hear the criticisms, they wouldn’t choose this channel to watch it.

Now, with the presence of a top idol like Qi Hao, the series’ reputation turned into "the music is amazing, Qi Hao is handso, Hu Ge is in good form, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi are all beautiful," which leads casual viewers to decide to give it a chance.

And once they do, they naturally contribute to the ratings.

As the ratings rise, the secondary sales beco a non-issue.

Within the industry, quite a few sharp eyes could see Qi Hao’s impact on this series, and many projects wanted to bring him on board.

Unfortunately, the negotiations with his studio proved difficult.

Without an exceptionally good script, Qi Hao won’t be taking on another TV series in the short term.

Everyone else can only stare enviously at Sugarman and Cai Yinong.

This TV series might beco the most profitable one for Sugarman.

However, for any subsequent dramas, Cai Yinong is unlikely to be able to invite Qi Hao again.

Qi Hao indeed isn’t very interested in TV series.

The hottest genre at the mont is spy dramas, especially after "Infiltration" beca popular, with one spy drama after another getting greenlit.

Qi Hao also watched the TV series "Infiltration."

It was indeed very entertaining.

But it simply didn’t suit soone as handso as him.

Whether it’s the Anti-Japanese masterpiece "Bright Sword" or this spy drama masterpiece "Infiltration," the leads are more mature.

In a few years...

When he appears more mature and can no longer play high school students, he can take on these mature roles.

The show’s popularity brought another benefit.

Qi Hao’s endorsents surged, and skincare brands alone had quite a few approaching him.

Among them, there are international big brands.

Qi Hao played the role of Xu Changqing, almost without makeup throughout.

This was also used as a gimmick to promote the drama.

Looking like this without makeup?

Then he must be arranged for skincare endorsents.

He used our skincare products, that’s why he looks like this now.

As long as you brainwash so TV ads, there are definitely fools willing to believe it.

Qi Hao doesn’t mind either.

Making money, there’s nothing shaful about it.

However, the products he endorses must be tested by himself first.

Initially, even for a spicy snack ad, he tasted a bunch of spicy snacks available on the market.

Skincare products, he bought a bunch and used different ones every day.

Not hoping these skincare products are truly effective, but at least they can’t ruin his face, otherwise, he won’t be able to account to his fans.

"How’s the preparation going?"

Gao Qunshu knew that these days Qi Hao was working on an album and a drama, so he didn’t interfere with Qi Hao’s frequent mobile internet and phone activities.

Big stars in the crew can do whatever they want.

So people even bring a motor ho to the filming site, diving in to rest imdiately after a scene.

"No problem, we can go now."

Qi Hao hung up the phone and was about to interrogate Zhou Xun.

"Sir, this way please..."

Wang Zhiwen smiled obsequiously, seemingly deep in his role.

And he’s very much in character.

Previously, there was a scene where he lit a cigarette for Qi Hao, and his performance made Gao Qunshu praise him endlessly.

Almost saying Wang Zhiwen was born to be a traitor.

If born in that era, he could seamlessly join the traitor ranks.

"It’s that ti again when I’m inhumane, even yours has a trace of humanity, but not ." Qi Hao sighed.

"Neon People, how can they have humanity?" Wang Zhiwen chuckled.

"That’s so damn true."

Qi Hao suddenly felt balanced.

No longer envying others for having more outstanding roles.

In this film, Wang Zhiwen’s portrayal of Wang Tianxiang was very eye-catching.

As soon as he appears, the first punishnt scene of the whole film "Dog Punishnt" occurs, saring things on An Feng and letting hounds tear An Feng apart.

It’s simply perverse, and he’s not afraid of fans of An Feng ganging up on him after the movie release.

Qi Hao, watching, even wanted to kill Wang Zhiwen.

In the film, Wang Tianxiang also contributed "Electric Punishnt," "Stool Punishnt," "Rope Punishnt," these interrogation thods are shocking.

Yet, this pervert likes Gu Xiaong.

Every ti Gu Xiaong speaks, the cara has a close-up on him, and during Gu Xiaong’s rope punishnt, Wang Tianxiang loses his cool deanor reserved for other suspects, pacing back and forth restlessly, showing extre impatience, soon calling for a stop.

This shows he didn’t want to use punishnt on Gu Xiaong.

The film portrays Wang Tianxiang’s different treatnt of Gu Xiaong, transforming him from a heartless interrogation machine to a normal human being.

And through his treatnt of Bai Xiaonian and the female assassin, he turns from a normal human into a twisted demon.

Wang Zhiwen has played many roles similar to Wang Tianxiang and excels in portraying the facade of success with underlying emotional voids.

Qi Hao learned a lot from him.

This kind of live acting is more intuitive than training space.

So, having training space doesn’t make you invincible, the filmmaking process still has much to teach.

Gu Xiaong was handcuffed to a chair, with Takeda and an assistant interrogating him.

This assistant, played by Zhang Li, is a man not particularly good-looking but very charismatic.

Hmm, his drinking capacity is quite impressive.

"As long as you cooperate, I guarantee your safety, not just yours, but also your family’s..."

Qi Hao said threatening words to the cara.

No choice, for such a close-up scene, it’s basically perford for the cara.

Qi Hao used mostly a deadpan expression for acting.

It’s required by the role.

But it requires more skill than regular acting.

"Takeda must be boasting, at the military staff eting, you severely injured a superior, you’re about to be demoted back to the holand yourself, what can you promise ?"

There were previous scenes where Zhou Xun and Qi Hao acted together.

But this ti it was a close-up, a one-on-one confrontation.

Zhou Xun couldn’t possibly let Qi Hao overpower her in skill or presence, imdiately showcasing 120% of her acting skills.

"Cut!"

Gao Qunshu and co-director Chen Guofu exchanged a glance, roughly understanding why Zhou Xun’s performance was off.

See?

Facing a rumored boyfriend, obviously, it’s impossible to stay calm.

Even the more skilled Zhou Xun acts this way, filming scenes with Li Xue’xue would be even more challenging.

"That’s overdoing it, Mr. Zhou, adjust," Gao Qunshu couldn’t say harsh words, gently adding, "You both are professional actors, be more professional."
