Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 90 - 89: Talking About Money Hurts Feelings (First S
"Qi Hao..."
An Feng held a small fan in her hand, blowing it against her face and neck.
The wind lifted her hair, revealing a dusty face.
Her character, driven by revenge due to her father’s death, was styled with ssy hair due to the film’s dark tone, concealing most of the colors.
"This should be the last fight scene, right?"
Qi Hao chatted with An Feng with a calm deanor. Given their past collaboration and the rumors about them, it would be strange not to talk when they t.
"Yes, after this fight scene, there will only be group scenes left. My part concludes in mid-September."
The group scenes, where many actors appear together, were scheduled for later, roughly to be shot in two weeks.
Once these group scenes were finished, that would be it.
"The sa for ." Qi Hao was also wrapping up in mid-September.
This ant that if Qi Hao wanted to use the crew’s equipnt to shoot the MV, he had to finish by mid-September.
As for the wrap-up ti of this film, due to Zhen Zidan’s unfinished scenes, the latest it would be completed was late October.
The entire shooting period was about four months long.
And this was with two crews shooting together for most of the ti.
"I’ve been invited to join ’Wind Sound’ to play a role." An Feng spoke her mind as she thought about this matter.
She didn’t know why, but she always felt that soone was helping her.
Her mom said that the ban might have been a misunderstanding.
If she had experienced this before, she might have believed so naively again.
But after enduring the online public attacks and facing various recent troubles, An Feng could no longer find that innocence from when she debuted at sixteen.
She was slowly growing up.
Therefore, she knew for sure that soone had helped her.
And that person must be Qi Hao.
She didn’t know why she was so sure.
But she just was that sure.
"’Wind Sound’, yeah, I received it too." Qi Hao glanced elsewhere, saying, "It’s about to start, you better hurry, finish early, or it might drag on to tomorrow."
Upon hearing that An Feng’s ban was lifted, Qi Hao was genuinely pleased.
It ant his efforts were not in vain.
As for whether Mrs. Hua could be as ruthless as Zhanqi Laiden claid, Qi Hao felt indifferent.
No matter how bad things could get, it wouldn’t be worse than before.
Moreover, Mrs. Hua wasn’t that crazy.
If they really wanted to deal with An Feng, they could easily make their move after going public.
By then, their stock price would soar with a market value in billions. Any competitor like Bona China Film would be crushed, and most of the profitable movies might be made by them.
They could ban anyone with just a word.
Back at the hotel, Qi Hao received the lyrics for "This Life Will Not Change" and began thinking about the MV script.
The "Chinese Paladin 3" team even sent Qi Hao so notes.
They described the emotions conveyed in the song and its corresponding scenes in the TV series.
This made it easier for Qi Hao to imrse himself in emotion while practicing the song.
Ti cannot be cut/Rotating in the past/Profound change/Is not distant/Even after ten thousand years/The deep affection never changes/Love spreads like a raging fire...
Even after ten thousand years...
Oh, how cheesy, grass!
Qi Hao couldn’t help but rub his arm at the sentintality.
"Being braver after separation/This love/Would be passed down through generations."
Indeed, it’s about Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan, and Qi Hao playing Xu Changqing has no problem expressing the emotions.
So, what kind of script should it be?
It wouldn’t be possible to just edit "Chinese Paladin 3" directly into an MV.
That wouldn’t et the system’s requirents.
Though the reward for this task isn’t substantial, at least it provides a swimming plus ten.
Not sure how to put it.
It seems its purpose is for old-age winter swimming and diving in the Hai River.
Or when a girlfriend asks, "If my mom and I fall into the water, who would you save first?" you can confidently answer, "I’d lift each one with a hand while walking on water to the shore."
So, if the task can be completed, it should be done.
It wouldn’t cost much.
Using the crew’s photographer and equipnt poses no issues, as there would always be downti.
Qi Hao was a financier, and such a request didn’t even need to be discussed with other investors.
If it were just using the photographer and equipnt, a modern MV could suffice.
But if using the crew’s location, it could only feature late Qing to early Republic era elents.
Republic architecture, streets, costus, and extras are easier to find.
However, here in Songjiang Film City, older buildings can also be found.
Similarly, more modern structures can be sourced as well.
Eternal love across three lifetis...
Qi Hao closed his eyes and quickly thought of this term.
He wasn’t a professional scriptwriter, but after watching so many films and scripts, combined with "Chinese Paladin 3," the term "Eternal love across three lifetis" ca to mind.
The love story of Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan was just that.
Ancient, Republic, and modern tis, it would be perfect for making an MV about eternal love across three lifetis.
That’s it, right?
Hahaha...
Wow, who’s so aweso?
No wonder it’s !
It’s okay not to have much money, a true man has ambitions in all directions, never complains about drinking the northwest wind.
We can go freeloading!
Free equipnt from the film crew, free location from the film city, so free costus, so self-prepared by actors, so borrowed.
"October Fortress" can provide Republic-era costus, modern ones can be worn by actors themselves, ancient ones can be rented from costu shops for a day. Maybe out of favor with the "October Fortress" crew, we could even get them for free.
As for Tang Yan’s remuneration...
We’re all friends, talking about money hurts feelings.
Once Qi Hao finished the script design, he planned to contact Tang Yan.
Since recently he doesn’t have many shoots, and the crew isn’t too busy, the earlier we film, the earlier we complete the task.
Qi Hao has Tang Yan’s phone number himself.
He’s even added her on QQ.
However, for inviting to feature in an MV, it’s better to communicate over the phone.
So, how should the phone call go?
Long ti no see, miss you?
Dude, she heard you were filming in Shen City a few days ago and wanted to invite you for dinner, and you pretended you couldn’t co.
Just a few days later, you’re saying long ti no see.
Oh, what a jerk!
Plus, that opening sounds like asking for money...
Anyway, Qi Hao didn’t overthink, he directly contacted Tang Yan the next day.
He didn’t ntion the MV filming on the phone.
He told Tang Yan he wanted to invite her to dinner.
So, he t with Tang Yan at the restaurant.
Tang Yan’s ho is in Shen City, and Chengtian’s headquarters are also in Shen City, so she spends most of her ti there.
She’s more familiar with where to find good food in Shen City than Qi Hao.
She and Qi Hao discussed what to eat, quickly placed an order to the waiter, and then curiously asked: "Is your film not finished yet?"
Tang Yan’s schedule is also tight. Before "Chinese Paladin 3," she just finished shooting "Life Without Language."
"Chinese Paladin 3" isn’t fully wrapped, and the next film with Zhang Yishan, "Born in the 80s," has already started shooting.
She just finished "Born in the 80s" and returned to Shen City, knowing Qi Hao was in Shen City, felt she should be hospitable, and thus proposed to invite Qi Hao for a al.
Unexpectedly, Qi Hao rejected it.
Her agent Ji Rujing suggested Qi Hao is likely avoiding private etings with her to avoid rumors.
Tang Yan felt a bit disappointed.
She thought they were already friends.
However, before she felt down for too long, Qi Hao actually took the initiative to contact her and said he wanted to invite her to dinner.
Even her well-inford agent was puzzled by this.
There was even speculation that Qi Hao was interested in dating and was looking for a girlfriend.
"It’ll take until mid-next month to finish shooting," Qi Hao explained: "I shot a few important scenes the other day, and there were supposed to be scenes in recent days, but the director made adjustnts, so suddenly I had free ti."
"Oh, I see. But still, let pay; my ho is here." Tang Yan was quite happy.
"No, no, I’ll pay this ti, maybe next ti you can."
Qi Hao was a bit troubled about how to bring it up; he was too shy.
Couldn’t bring up freeloading.
But talking about paynt wouldn’t be easy, as it’s just an MV.
"Okay, that’s fine too." Tang Yan didn’t insist much.
The circle is so small, as long as Qi Hao doesn’t avoid her, occasionally having a al together is no issue.
Qi Hao didn’t rush to discuss business, first chatted with Tang Yan about the movie "Dowry."
This film will be released on the fifth of next month.
It’s a project starring Tang Yan, Wang Ziwen, and others.
It’s a good topic.
With Qi Hao being an award-winning actor, there’s a lot Tang Yan can learn from him.
The food was served quickly.
Let’s eat first, it’s better to choke than starve.
Since Qi Hao drove, they naturally skipped drinking.
However, female celebrities rarely eat freely, basically, Qi Hao ate, while Tang Yan ate like a cat.
No, even Ao Bai could eat more than Tang Yan.
"’Immortal Sword 3’ asked to sing a the song, I agreed, I think the song is pretty good."
Qi Hao finally steered the topic towards his purpose.
"Wow, singing, huh!"
Tang Yan was quite envious, unfortunately, the crew didn’t ask her, she actually really wanted to sing.
Too bad it’s midday now, if they had t for dinner, they might’ve gone singing.
It’s odd for just two people to sing though.
It stirs up boundless imagination.
