Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years-Chapter 437 - 427: Don’t Push Me to Lose My Temper

"Well, that's just wrong, I haven't really interacted with any female judges... don't believe those rumors."

Qi Hao quickly explained.

Unfortunately, Qi Xu wasn't interested in listening to his explanation. After staying in his dad's arms for less than two minutes, he began to squirm his chubby little body.

Something doesn't feel right!

Wants the milky scent from mom.

The young couple had to hurry back inside.

Besides, during this season in the north, the air is filled with poplar and willow catkins, really not suitable for standing outside.

Actually, Qi Hao doesn't have much time to cozy up with An Feng.

He's got quite a few films waiting to be shot.

He spent the first half of the year accompanying his wife, and the consequence is a backlog of work.

However, not all of these tasks require him to be personally involved.

For example, Lu Yang wanted him to play the lead role in "Brocade Spring Saber," which Qi Hao had to reluctantly decline.

It's not that he's not giving Lu Yang face, he really can't take it on.

According to Lu Yang's shooting plan, he needs to shoot at least three movies in the "Brocade Spring Saber" series.

If Qi Hao plays the lead, he would surely have to perform in all three.

The lead can die, but it's rare for the main lead to die.

Qi Hao currently has the Jiong series.

"Jiong 3" directed by Ning Hao features Qi Hao and Huang Bo as leads, with Wang Baoqiang taking a guest role.

On one hand, it's indeed hard to schedule his parts.

On the other hand, Wang Baoqiang doesn't have much availability either; he's currently filming "Detective Tang 1," and there are two award-contending art films queued up afterward.

Wang Baoqiang is currently not lacking in good scripts.

Ye Weimin is working on the script for "Jiong 4."

It is expected that Qi Hao and Wang Baoqiang will still be the leads.

If he takes on the "Brocade Spring Saber" series, then Qi Hao would have no time left for himself.

At this stage, he would be stricter in choosing scripts.

He will also allocate more time to create his own films, starting to pursue high-quality works.

However, guest appearances are not a problem.

In "Brocade Spring Saber," it's said there's a character of extremely high martial arts skills, akin to the ultimate warrior of the entire series, Qi Hao would just need a few days to guest star.

Lu Yang pleaded sincerely, and Qi Hao did not refuse.

Since it's a guest role, the fee is naturally not a concern.

In fact, "Detective Tang" also hopes for Qi Hao and An Feng to make a cameo, Chen Sicheng is very aware of their significance.

Naturally, Qi Hao declined.

Besides "Jiong 3" needing Qi Hao personally, there's "Grandma's Grandson."

This movie is actually quite good, even if it wasn't a task, Qi Hao wanted to make it.

Considering this calculation, he doesn't have much time to spend with his wife in the latter half of the year.

"Jiong 3: Heartflower Road Release" has begun filming first.

The film showcases the crazy and absurd seduction journey of Geng Hao and Hao Yi, revealing the emotional crises and self-doubts faced by such small figures when they struggle to balance real life and ideal pursuits.

It also has a bit of depth.

But it does not affect the comedic style of the film.

To ensure the movie fits the overall style of the Jiong series, Ye Weimin humbly gave the director role to Ning Hao, but he still took on the producer role and deeply participated in script creation and casting.

For example, originally there was a hair salon girl role that Zhou Dongyu was considered for, Ning Hao thought Zhou Dongyu's acting was good, so he planned to agree.

Ye Weimin directly gave it to Jiang Jiaen.

Fat-water stays inside.

Jiang Jiaen gained prominence due to "You Who Came from the Stars," her acting may not be particularly outstanding, but she's undergoing strict training, lacking opportunities.

With Ning Hao, a big director, teaching, it's not impossible.

If she really can't make it, she'd be filtered out during auditions.

Ye Weimin also chose Ma Li to play the Northeastern sister.

He brought in Shen Teng to guest star as the rogue bar owner.

Actually, it all fits Ning Hao's intentions, helping him quite a bit.

Ning Hao isn't a pushover.

If it's not suitable, he'd directly drop it.

Moreover, he's signed with Xiaoma Pentium, essentially a part of Zhonghao Entertainment.

Because Zhonghao Entertainment is a major shareholder in Xiaoma Pentium.

When Qi Hao attended the Cannes International Film Festival, "Jiong 3" was already in preparation.

Qi Hao directly joined the crew.

During filming, he also attended the Xiangjiang Film Golden Image Award.

Unfortunately, Qi Hao's "Thief Family" did not win Best Picture.

Best Picture went to the pure Hong Kong film "Cold War."

From the cast to the story, "Cold War" easily reminds people of the so-called savior film "Infernal Affairs" from ten years ago.

The "Infernal Affairs" series' success once made some people mistakenly believe that the era of Hong Kong films has re-emerged.

Everyone knows now, it was more like the announcement of an era's end—the flood of co-productions, pure Hong Kong films struggling.

"Cold War," albeit under the co-production banner, really lacks co-production elements, the cast from top to bottom is all Xiangjiang local stars.

If there's any mainland actor, it's Ma Mengniu, ranked ninth, guest starring as Liu Jiehui's wife.

That evening, "Cold War" won nine awards including Best Film and Best Actor, becoming the big winner, tying the record of the 16th Xiangjiang Film Golden Image Awards held by "Sweet Honey."

Pang Ho-cheung's controversial "Vulgar Comedy" won Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, further intensifying local consciousness, but simultaneously reflecting Xiangjiang film entering a cold winter.

Since Qi Hao attended the Golden Image Award, not giving him an award would be the greatest insult to him.

Humiliation means death.

Zhonghao Entertainment might really use all its strength to suppress all Xiangjiang filmmakers.

Reporting your star's scandals, exposing your director's real face.

Obstructing your approval, blocking your release.

Whenever a big-budget Hong Kong film premieres, I'd make a few films to release simultaneously, and crush you in the schedule.

The Xiangjiang Film Golden Image Awards Association clearly understands this logic.

So...

They awarded Best Director to Qi Hao.

"Thief Family" won Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography awards.

Though not as impressive as "Cold War's" nine awards, it's not too bad.

Fang Long's "Chinese Zodiac" and Er Dongsheng's "The Great Magician" only won one award each.

Qi Hao felt very speechless inside, but he had no room to act out.

To the ordinary audience, the Xiangjiang Film Golden Image Award is primarily focused on the Best Actor and Actress, those who win become revered stars, true giants of the film industry.

Though Best Picture is nominally the top award, its attention might even be less than Best Director.

It represents a film's overall success in acting, directing, screenwriting, production, art, sound, visuals, action choreography, and all aspects.

"Cold War," as this so-called "savior," needs such comprehensive affirmation.

"Cold War" took nine awards, winning comprehensively.

If it truly won comprehensively but didn't win Best Picture, it's clearly illogical.

So, they could only give Qi Hao the Best Director next to Best Picture.

Since 1982, this is the first time the award has been given to a mainland director.

Except for Li An, even Taiwan directors haven't won this award.

As for Xu Ke, born in Vietnam and twice winning Best Picture, he's long been considered a Xiangjiang native and Xiangjiang heavyweight.

Best Picture celebrates all aspects of a film, whereas Best Director is extremely targeted to honor the director personally.

Moreover, Best Screenplay was also awarded.

The screenplay of "Thief Family" happens to be Qi Hao's.

Giving Qi Hao Best Director and Best Screenplay seems like flattery.

The festival that evening even had a segment celebrating Qi Hao's new film "Thief Family" winning the Palme d'Or, with the audience standing in applause for a full minute.

In the nonsensical film "Tang Bohu Points at Autumn Fragrance," King Ning is a character who threatens to lose his temper from start to finish, often saying "don't push me into a rage."

Qi Hao also wanted to lose his temper that evening.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance, the Golden Image Awards already gave him enough respect.

It's just the flattery hit the wrong mark.
