Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 401 - 394: Help Me Come Up with a Stage Name?

"Mr. Qi, our Fengzhu’s na seems a bit too common and lacks distinctiveness. Could you help us think of a stage na?"

Jiang Fengzhu’s mother still understood a bit about social mores.

It’s like raising a cat or a dog; you always give them a na. Once a na is given, there’s a lot of ties that develop, and you can’t help but want to care for and protect them more.

"Coming up with a new stage na isn’t a bad idea, but I’m not the best for this. You should co up with one on your own."

Qi Hao refused the request.

It’s better to maintain a certain distance to avoid any gossip.

"I want to be called Jiang Jiaen, is that okay?"

Jiang Fengzhu quickly gave herself a new na that was indeed more novel.

"You should discuss it with the company later. They will arrange for you to have an assistant, and if needed, a manager as well."

Zhao Jinmai’s initial manager was her mother.

Now she also has a professional manager, who is Qi Hao’s manager, Li ng.

It’s very normal for a professional manager to manage several artists.

Qi Hao is a boss and has several assistants, assistants in the entertainnt industry, assistants for each company departnt, so his need for a manager isn’t very strong.

Therefore, Li ng chose to manage Zhao Jinmai.

As for this Jiang Fengzhu or Jiang Jiaen, arranging it won’t be too much trouble either.

She’s also a student like Zhao Jinmai, and currently, most of her energy should be focused on her studies. At the very least, she has to wait until college to officially debut.

"Mr. Qi, can I join your company?"

Seeing a girl who just started high school successfully join the coveted Zhonghao Entertainnt, students on the spot were instantly interested.

Filming requires a lot of extras, but Qi Hao filming at Beijing Film Academy is never short of extras.

In ordinary films, extras might not be seen as important.

But Qi Hao is a Golden Horse Award-winning director, and he’s already directed four billion-yuan movies.

Now nobody compares him to young directors anymore.

At the very least, he has to be at Feng Xiaogang’s level.

Additionally, Qi Hao is the boss of the biggest entertainnt company in Inner Entertainnt, Zhonghao Entertainnt.

With such a big boss... how could people not be eager to move?

If Qi Hao said he’d challenge his weaknesses, a bunch of female students would probably flock to him imdiately.

"The company currently has no plans to develop an agent business."

Qi Hao spoke frankly, Zhonghao Entertainnt does everything, but just not brokering.

It’s troubleso and doesn’t earn much money.

Even if you sign soone, there’s no such thing as cultivating them.

If the school hasn’t even cultivated them well, are you going to rely on an agency?

Zhao Jinmai is actually signed under Qi Hao Studio, and so is Jiang Fengzhu.

"Okay, Mr. Qi, my na is Gulinazha. Please take care of in the future."

The student who asked didn’t press further.

The students who joined the group had etings before joining, where school leaders reminded them not to bother Qi Hao or An Feng.

They especially shouldn’t act with ulterior motives.

Otherwise, they’d be directly removed from the group, and in severe cases, expelled from school.

Seeing top-tier beauty Gulinazha hit a wall, others didn’t dare to embarrass themselves further.

Those joining the group were primarily third- and fourth-year students.

There were also a few first- and second-year students.

Beijing Film Academy doesn’t have strict rules prohibiting first- and second-year students from acting.

Plus, joining Qi Hao’s crew is a rare experience.

Most class teachers are very supportive.

Unfortunately, opportunities to appear are few, and more are just background extras.

The ti quickly arrived, and the opening ceremony began.

The Daoist Master is an eternal truth.

As long as it’s Qi Hao’s project, he’ll basically be present.

Thus, many people think Qi Hao is very superstitious.

Daoist Suiyun is also sothing like the White Dragon King or Wang Lin.

However, Qi Hao denies believing in Daoism.

When facing dia interviews, he said he just likes Daoist Suiyun’s swordsmanship.

And Daoist Suiyun also refuses all fortune-telling or fate-changing services.

Even if soone offers a million dollars for him to change their fate, he refuses without hesitation.

He frankly says that if he had that ability, he would’ve overthrown the Observatory Master long ago and taken his place.

"To be as great to people as to things, cultivate virtuous deeds", "Act with kindness at all tis, perform all kinds of benevolent deeds. Benefit others and oneself, cultivate goodness and blessings", keep a heart that "helps others in difficulties, aids others in urgency, sympathizes with orphans, forgives others’ mistakes"...

If achieved, heaven will certainly bestow blessings.

Doing bad things all day and hoping to change fate through magic—if soone actually helps you do it, the founding master would likely strike down the Daoist Master.

Today, Daoist Suiyun ca to the university looking even more solemn.

Previously, a deputy director ntioned that even a school like Beijing Film Academy has students who willingly fall, for the sake of brand na bags and such, degrade themselves by taking up part-ti jobs at clubs.

The Daoist Master harshly criticized this.

Morals? Boundaries? Addresses?

However, his sharp swordsmanship indeed opened many eyes, with so students even loudly cheering.

In fact, such swordsmanship is very worth promoting.

In recent years, influenced by Japan and South Korea, the public aesthetic has beco distorted.

n aren’t like n, and won aren’t like won.

n should have so fortitude, and practicing martial arts is a good choice.

After finishing the sword dance, they took a group photo and then began filming.

The female protagonist was subjected to a lot of online bullying; so were similar to An Feng’s experience back then, but there were differences.

Because the original script’s female protagonist was inherently troubleso.

However, after Qi Hao got the script, he made quite a few changes, and the writing team further revised it.

They transford her into soone who’s just individualistic and straightforward.

She neither went along with the darkness of the entertainnt circle nor was she so popular that she suffered many attacks.

And in the face of attacks, she wasn’t one to hold back.

Seeing injustice, she’d draw her sword, and if sothing seed wrong, she’d confront it directly.

With so people stirring up trouble, she beca the target of netizen attacks.

On the surface, the heroine was tough, but in reality, she was very fragile.

Bullied online during the day, at night she would return ho to secretly cry into her pillow.

However, despite many character adjustnts to align closely with An Feng, there were still significant differences between the character and An Feng herself.

Her screen image was unlike any of An Feng’s previous portrayals.

The main focus was on showing the idea that celebrities, in private, are just like regular people.

Furthermore, there were several changes made.

The original plot had the male lead’s spaceship arriving on Earth and conveniently saving the heroine.

The writers changed it to a story where the ancient heroine saves the male lead instead.

After all, landing does co with risks.

No matter how advanced, an alien might still get hurt.

The male lead pays special attention to his savior, leading to various interactions.

There was no elent of romance in this.

Honestly, even if they found a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to play the heroine’s previous life, it wouldn’t align with our moral standards here.

Don’t even start with how in ancient tis fourteen-year-olds could marry.

This TV series is a modern drama, so we should consider modern values as much as possible.

Moreover, Qi Hao and An Feng are top idols.

They have too many underage fans.

Currently, Qi Hao is facing many false accusations, like having deeply fallen for An Feng while collaborating on "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

Even more maliciously, so claim he liked An Feng when she first debuted.

We cannot further deepen such misunderstandings among people.

So, the romance between the male and female leads must begin only after the heroine becos a big star.

Today’s shoot involved the heroine being forced to return to school and discovering that the history teacher is actually the male lead.

Whether Qi Hao can portray the feeling of a professor is a worrying matter.

Truth is, he’s a middle school student.

This is the first thing that cos to mind when considering related issues.

Qi Hao couldn’t be bothered to explain.

The performance curriculum includes courses like acting, speech, body language, and vocal training, as well as so common courses like English, history, and politics.

Qi Hao teaches Chinese film history.

This is probably to enrich the students’ knowledge to avoid being labeled as uninford in the future.

The instructor of the course remarked that students from the Literature departnt chose this course often, whereas it was rarely selected by those from the Acting departnt.

He lent Qi Hao the textbooks and lesson plans.

Uncertain whether Qi Hao would ruin his reputation, he stayed on set to watch.

However, the outco greatly exceeded his expectations.

Qi Hao’s lecture focused primarily on the unique achievents of Chinese cinema.

When comparing the artistic achievents of certain films in world cinema history, especially concentrating on styles with significant artistic contributions during world cinema developnt like French New Wave, Italian Neorealism, Classic Hollywood, and New Hollywood, China’s classic cinematic works might seem sowhat lacking.

An important task of this course is to enable students to objectively and accurately view the historical developnt of Chinese cinema and the artistic achievents of each stage with a positive mindset and a sense of ownership and invest themselves in future industry creation and developnt.

Qi Hao directly set aside the textbooks and lesson plans.

He didn’t care whether those in the audience had chosen this course; he just started discussing the topic.

In the students’ view, the worst kind of teacher is one who reads from a book directly.

The so-called interpretation just involves repeating one sentence over and over.

There’s no personal understanding, let alone persuading others.

Such teachers are truly just coasting at university, giving off a "I could do that too" vibe.

Qi Hao was completely different.

He did talk about textbook content, but mostly extended beyond it, often spinning one knowledge point into various topics.

His discussions were full of illustrative examples and eloquent talk.

The key was that what he said wasn’t re nonsense; the content was actually very interesting.

Most of it ca from his own reading.

So were insights he gained from years of interacting with veteran filmmakers.

Few of the teachers at the school had such firsthand information.

Also, Qi Hao had attended the Venice International Film Festival, and with his fluent English, had exchanged ideas with many international filmmakers.

Not only did he grasp various cinema movents’ histories, but he also understood their current situations.

This was knowledge unattainable solely through books.

"Hey, you..."

"I’m Guo Fan!" The person behind the monitor imdiately stood up.

Qi Hao was the chief director of this TV series, but the actual work was done by others.

Guo Fan had perford exceptionally as an assistant director in "Lost on Journey 2."

This ti, he and Xue Xiaolu jointly served as the executive directors.

Xue Xiaolu, an associate professor at the Beijing Film Academy, mainly handled coordination with the school, while Guo Fan was more responsible for practical filming.

"Aren’t you going to call ’cut’? Are you planning for one continuous shot?"

Qi Hao had been waiting for him to call "cut" for quite a while.

As the executive director, if Guo Fan didn’t call "cut," he’d have to continue performing.

The caraman and other departnts wouldn’t stop working.

Seeing that he had almost finished half a lecture already,

Qi Hao finally couldn’t resist wanting to tear into him.

The first ti you’re in charge and you pull this on , there are plenty of assistant directors eager to take your place.

Your position is coveted by many.
