Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years-Chapter 421 - 413: Looking Forward to the Child of Two Stunners

Chapter 421: Chapter 413: Looking Forward to the Child of Two Stunners

It’s not about a big belly or a small belly.

Normally, when you look at someone, you’re not constantly staring at their belly and comparing sizes, what if they just ate a lot?

The main thing is An Feng often has this action of guarding her belly.

This is a mother’s instinct, something she naturally does, especially when the environment around her changes.

By observing the belly, it’s easy to draw an obvious conclusion.

An Feng is pregnant!

Although dating—getting married—having a kid, is a very smooth process, the impact on the netizens is still considerable.

The fans have split into two camps.

A small portion feels An Feng has become a tool for childbirth, having to give birth to Qi Hao’s child at such a young age.

There’s nothing to be done, fans don’t have any threshold.

You can’t stop them from idolizing even if they have issues.

These people always feel An Feng isn’t living well.

She’s just married, it’s not like she’s living a good life.

Fortunately, most feel that the relationship between these two is really good, they started having kids so soon.

Poverty leads to self-care, wealth leads to many children.

Qi Hao has a big family and business, if each child inherits, why should others benefit in the future?

Moreover, most of An Feng’s trips have Qi Hao accompanying her.

It’s clearly a sign of deep affection.

Rather than pointing fingers at others’ lives, it’s better to live well yourself.

Everyone just needs to look forward to the birth of their child.

The child born from this pair of beautiful people is bound to be stunningly attractive.

The thousands of people in East Hao Group, upon hearing the lady boss is pregnant, felt very happy too.

It’s like in ancient times.

Although whether the emperor has children or not is a personal matter, without an heir, the rule is as scattered as sand and could face issues anytime.

Obviously, Qi Hao having a child at the age of thirty is a good thing for the entire group.

To put it bluntly, even if Qi Hao were to pass away abruptly.

Old Tian could still maintain the group steadily.

After being exposed, An Feng began to share her pregnancy life on Weibo.

It’s all quite daily stuff.

Like her husband making soup for her, handmade clothes by her mom, and children’s songs she hums herself.

After posting on Weibo, she’d also re-upload it on Bilibili.

Bilibili’s anime aspect is overwhelmingly strong, although it’s an advantage, Qi Hao knows the future of such websites is in diversified development, so a bit of change is needed.

Currently, the online video industry is undergoing unprecedented transformation, it’s just the time for re-arrangement.

Bilibili’s fame has been high lately.

However, it’s not because of the numerous videos related to An Feng, but because "The Legend of Zhen Huan" launched on Bilibili, triggering an online viewing frenzy.

If "The Legend of Zhen Huan" initially faced a period of neglect upon release.

Actually, a reversal of public opinion happened in the later part of the initial broadcast.

With dramas, good or bad, can be seen as long as you have eyes.

The ones that manage to turn around in adversity either originated from the "ancient" era during times of fierce competition among heroes, only not standing out due to the comparison with contemporaneous film and television, later gradually gaining recognition.

Or they are particularly obscure and dull, discovered for their beauty only after time’s sedimentation.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" has no reason to be neglected whether in costumes, plot, or the current drama market.

However, people do prefer scripts that survive adversity.

That’s why many scripts showing "The Legend of Zhen Huan" suffering in its first round appear online.

If it truly was so miserable, the second round wouldn’t have sold so well.

After the second round of play ended, this drama was aired on Bilibili.

Online streaming is an entirely different concept from broadcasting on TV.

It suits young people more and suits office workers more.

Many people work nine-to-nine; making them watch TV when they get home isn’t convenient.

Many registered for Bilibili to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Previously, Bilibili registration was hard, without some skill, you might not succeed.

It’s different now.

With substantial financial backing, the website can accommodate numerous users.

Additionally, there’s Bilibili’s bullet comment feature.

More and more viewers are noticing this novel way of watching videos and are attracted to it.

Actually, it wasn’t invented by Bilibili or AcFun.

NICONICO is known as the "origin of bullet comments".

Bilibili expanded on NICONICO’s foundation.

After acquiring ByteDance’s commercial info, Qi Hao upgraded Bilibili’s bullet comment feature.

Bullet comments create an immersive interactive experience during video viewing, providing sufficient satisfaction in virtual interaction feedback, attracting viewers to seek a sense of recognition and belonging while watching videos, gradually developing a dependency and usage inertia for video platforms, increasing user stickiness significantly.

This bullet comment interaction also encourages more video creators and uploaders to upload videos.

Attracting more people to watch videos, achieving a virtuous cycle in the process.

Besides "The Legend of Zhen Huan", there’s also "You Who Came from the Stars".

Many TV stations want this drama, and offer high prices.

It’s basically capped at 500 thousand per episode.

It’s not that higher prices can’t be offered, but due to certain regulations, there are policy constraints for TV stations.

When four satellite TV channels collaboratively broadcast it, that’s 2 million per episode.

Cut into 30 episodes, selling it means 60 million overall, deducting 30 million in costs, the producer An Feng can earn 30 million.

This price is actually quite good.

To secure the premiere rights for "You Who Came from the Stars", various TV stations also offered additional benefits.

Offend one side isn’t ideal.

Qi Hao simply went all out.

He made Bilibili buy out the online streaming rights for 50 million.

Is 50 million high?

Bilibili spent only 20 million to buy out "The Legend of Zhen Huan’s" online streaming rights.

It’s indeed not Qi Hao deliberately yielding benefits to his wife.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" had exclusive online rights, but "You Who Came from the Stars" had exclusive rights + premiere rights.

These are premiere rights!

Online first, then sell to TV stations, equivalent to TV stations selling from the second round on.

This move left both CCTV-8, Dragon TV, Hunan TV, all in shock.

Are we eating TV leftovers?

The anger was substantial.

But just that bit of anger.

What else can they do?

Qi Hao is no longer someone who TV stations can casually mess with.

Moreover, he’s also running a research company.

It’s currently drawing much attention from above, given this tech company is based in the capital.

"You Who Came from the Stars" will premiere on Bilibili on August 25th, released on An Feng’s birthday.

It’s considered Qi Hao’s birthday gift to An Feng.

Well, wedding gifts, birthday gifts... two gifts in one, delivered with exceptional class.

There’s also the Venice International Film Festival in August.

But Qi Hao doesn’t plan to take "Shoplifters" for a Venice Film Festival premiere.

This year, China’s old friend, former Venice International Film Festival chair Marco Müller officially withdrew from the Venice International Film Festival, ending his eight-year tenure as the chair.

His successor is another Italian film artist, former Venice International Film Festival chair Alberto Barbera.

Alberto Barbera had chaired the Venice International Film Festival from December 1998 to April 2002.

During his tenure, Chinese films didn’t stand a chance.

Clearly, this old man has no interest in Chinese films at all; Qi Hao sees no reason to meet a cold shoulder.

Although awards are decided by the jury, the attitude of the festival’s head is crucial.

So, Qi Hao decisively abandoned the Venice International Film Festival.

Why not try next year’s Cannes?

"Shoplifters" originally won the Palme d’Or at Cannes.

With early planning, it’s not impossible to grab next year’s Palme d’Or.

Just need to find out next year’s jury and persuade them with monetary power.

In the second half of the year, Qi Hao also signed up for the graduate exam at Beijing Film Academy.

He has a specialized diploma, and has had his certificate for over two years, taking the graduate exam is no issue.

Beijing Film Academy naturally welcomes him in all sorts of ways.

Not to mention Qi Hao meets the criteria, even if he doesn’t, Beijing Film Academy would agree exceptionally.

It’s not impossible for them to amend the admissions brochure for Qi Hao.

This unconventional Grand Slam actor + Best Director constantly highlights the incapability of film school students.

Beijing Film Academy’s pride Zhang Yimou, even teaming up with three to five super directors might not beat Qi Hao at the box office.

Even in acting, few Beijing Film Academy actors could outperform Qi Hao.

Actually, given Qi Hao’s current level, it’s not about studying for research, he could even lecture graduate students.

By then, the teachers teaching him would definitely feel immense pressure.
