Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years-Chapter 425 - 417: Wow, My Husband Is So Handsome!

Many actors don't watch their own works.

In an interview, Wu Gang said: "I generally don't watch my own shows. It's rather torturous. As I watch, I feel I could have handled this part better, or that there might be other ways of expression. I find a bunch of flaws with myself, but I can't change them. It's really frustrating."

Zhou Xingxing also doesn't watch the works he's in: "I don't watch, unless I forget I was in the show. I feel it would be very awkward."

There are many others.

Chow Yun-fat, Huo Jianhua, Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, Chen Jianbin, and so on have all made similar statements.

Some of these people are just being pretentious, but most actors truly don't watch.

However, there are some actors who will review their performances frame by frame.

It's for self-improvement.

Qi Hao is somewhere in between; whether he watches or not mainly depends on his mood.

Like in "You Who Came from the Stars," he was the main actor, the director, and even the editor...

This means he has already seen it several times, and even the final product.

There's not much left to improve upon.

But when watching it with An Feng, he can still watch with great interest.

This belongs to the issue of who you watch it with.

In the future, watching it with the kids won't be a problem either.

At most, it's just letting the kids see how their parents once dated.

After all, neither Qi Hao nor An Feng has acted in any explicit content.

The most explicit might be like in "Wait and See," where Qi Hao and Wan Qian are being improper on the donkey cart.

Of course, this type won't be shown to the children.

The show started soon enough.

Even though Qi Hao and An Feng began watching right away, they were still overwhelmed by the barrage of subtitles.

Fortunately, Bilibili introduced various subtitle settings, otherwise, it would have been impossible to watch the show.

An Feng found it quite amusing too.

She took out her phone and sent a comment:

Wow, hubby is so handsome!

But there were too many similar comments, so this one quickly got buried.

Qi Hao and An Feng both acted for free.

When both leads are unpaid, the one million per episode budget becomes so ample that it's impossible to spend it all.

As a result, the costumes and props in this drama are considered perfect, and the photography, art, and other aspects all hired the top teams.

Moreover, with Qi Hao and An Feng's top-notch looks,

Viewers feel it's worth it just to see their faces, let alone watching these two fall in love.

The previous movies "First Love" and "Those Years" required buying tickets to see, and they were very short in length.

Unlike the current "You Who Came from the Stars," which has a full thirty episodes.

And the content is not watered down at all.

Lei Ruoxi was busy watching the drama on her iPad, while also sending comments now and then, enjoying herself thoroughly.

Her mom curiously leaned over.

"Hey, this woman looks familiar."

"Mom, aren't you the TV expert? How come you don't even recognize the Little Dragon Girl?"

Lei Ruoxi was surprised.

Her mom married well, with no survival pressure. Her daily life after the child grew up consists mostly of shopping and binge-watching dramas, and she's seen most of them. Though she might not have much education, her reviews on dramas are quite extensive.

"Little Dragon Girl? Is this An Feng? I didn't expect her to look so good in modern clothes too."

Mom squeezed her daughter aside and sat on the sofa. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Mom, in real life, she wears modern clothes too. Who goes around in ancient costumes nowadays?"

Sitting two people on a single-seater sofa, Lei Ruoxi uncomfortably shifted.

"What channel is this, is it a new drama?"

Mom was curious and craned her neck.

"It's not on TV, it's on Bilibili, An Feng's new drama 'You Who Came from the Stars.'

Sitting next to her mom, Lei Ruoxi felt embarrassed to send comments.

Her comments were a bit explicit.

Online, since no one knew her, she could be as open as she wanted, but once it connected to real life, she immediately became timid.

"What's Bilibili?"

Clearly, mom also wanted to follow along. She had been regretful before about An Feng not acting in dramas.

Unexpectedly, not only did she act, but it was already released. She just didn't know how to access this Bilibili.

"Bilibili is just a website. Oh, mom, are you going to watch or not? How about waiting a few months when it hits TV?"

All young people are probably like this.

They're impatient when talking to the elderly about new things, forgetting how when they were young, they loved asking why.

"I won't disturb you. Let's watch together. That's Qi Hao, right? He's pretty handsome as a teacher, quite knowledgeable."

Mom wasn't angry at all.

Parents rarely get angry with their children.

"Mom, you think he's handsome too, right? Yesterday I ran into a couple of idiots, who thought Huang Xiaoming was more handsome. But with his short stature, even with elevator shoes, he's a head shorter than Qi Hao."

It's clear Lei Ruoxi prefers Qi Hao.

Actually, she was originally a fan of An Feng and didn't want An Feng to find a boyfriend at the start.

At that time, she thought An Feng had great potential. Finding a boyfriend at such a young age, if he's not as good as her, she'd suffer a loss; if he's better, those haters would easily say she's relying on him.

It's better to focus on her career, and consider romance after turning thirty.

Unfortunately, An Feng wouldn't listen to her fans at all.

She acted in several romance movies with Qi Hao, making people feel that if they missed each other, they would regret it for life.

Gradually, even the career-focused fans softened.

Moreover, Qi Hao publicly announced their relationship at the peak of their fame, which was indeed very manly.

The fans didn't expect An Feng and Qi Hao to get together so quickly, even less that An Feng would soon have a baby.

When "You Who Came from the Stars" was released, there was a sense of wanting to peek into An Feng's life after marriage through the drama.

People wanted to know if she was doing well.

If there was any untold sorrow between her brows.

Who would have thought the quality of "You Who Came from the Stars" was unexpectedly good?

By the latter episodes, even the bullet comments became significantly fewer.

Everyone focused more on enjoying the drama.

Previously, Korean dramas and Taiwanese dramas dominated, and in recent years, many domestic romance series have emerged, heavily influenced by Korean and Taiwanese dramas.

Most follow the Cinderella and rich prince, or poor boy and wealthy heiress love models, with plots often falling into clichés like affairs, secret backgrounds, or terminal illnesses, leaving viewers aesthetically fatigued.

Some actors appear, and you just know they're definitely rich.

Others, as long as they're in it, everyone knows she'll definitely have the most depressing role in the series.

However, "You Who Came from the Stars" was like a refreshing storm, completely breaking these traditional shackles.

It cleverly blended the seemingly unrelated elements of sci-fi and romance, creating a story structure full of fantastical colors.

Just this theme alone could probably sweep an entire category even in Korea.

And the character settings are extremely novel.

The male protagonist is an alien who came to Earth 500 years ago.

Not only does he look human, but he also has astonishing superpowers, can stop time, teleport, and has vision and hearing far beyond ordinary people.

This setting itself is full of sci-fi charm, adding countless suspense and imaginative space to the story.

The character played by An Feng has a strong reflection of reality.

She holds a child's innocence and willfulness, yet suffers various attacks and slanders due to interests and misunderstandings.

One is an alien from a distant planet, the other a big star living in the spotlight; their backgrounds are worlds apart, yet fate brings them to meet, know, and love each other, creating a cross-time-and-space romance that captivates viewers.

After watching, Qi Hao and An Feng happily went off to sleep.

Yet the netizens exploded.

How are there only six episodes!

Isn't it already finished filming? Why can't all of it be released at once?

If you open a website or social platform at this time, you can see discussions about the series everywhere.

From plot development, and character emotions, to actors' costumes and makeup, there was no topic that netizens didn't enthusiastically discuss.

Everyone was fascinated by the 500-year love story of the male and female protagonists, thrilled by each encounter and every gaze exchange.

Of course, more so, they scolded B Station for being unreasonable.

Crying and clamoring for B Station to quickly release more even in the middle of the night.

Who to learn from, but went to learn from Lei Jun?

Engaging in damn hunger marketing.

B Station had no choice but to issue an announcement overnight, stating that due to advertisers' requests, they had to release in phased segments.

Running a site isn't easy, and it's hard to get advertisements, hoping everyone can be more understanding.

Moreover, the broadcast plan is being adjusted.

It will change from the original plan of two updates a day to four a day until the end of the broadcast.

Additionally, B Station will invite the series' creators to a live interview session.

They will talk about some interesting things regarding the drama's production.

Although netizens were still somewhat dissatisfied, they could somewhat accept this explanation.

And through "You Who Came from the Stars," B Station jumped from a third-tier video site to a top-three daily active ranking.

First is Youku.

It was originally the video site with the most mainland users. In the first half of the year, it and Tudou announced through each channel simultaneously that they had signed an agreement to merge 100% by stock swap, with the new company named Youku Tudou Inc.

Despite existing billions in copyright lawsuits and numerous past grievances, the two companies managed to merge overnight, challenging people's imagination.

Then there's Sohu Video, iQiyi, Xunlei Kankan, Sina Video, LeTV, PPTV, Phoenix TV, and so on.

B Station was initially insignificant.

And while Penguin Video had abundant financial resources, it had just been established, so it naturally couldn't divert many users over.

They both belonged to the category of not making the top ten.

Originally, everyone was pretty calm, as being low-ranked at the start is normal, you can't become fat in one bite.

However, B Station soared directly.

You said we'd flop like dogs together, yet you quietly rose to the top.

One's failure is certainly scary, but a friend's success is even more heart-wrenching.

Penguin Pictures then began to think about throwing money to create blockbusters.

Give me a series that is no less than "You Who Came from the Stars."
