Iron Man needs to be finished by mid-March, but Kung Fu Panda can be pushed to April. Boss, you’ll be joining Immortal Love III in a few days, and your scenes won’t be daily. With all that free time, aren’t you going to do something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is a workaholic king?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It means not only pushing yourself to the limit, but dragging your boss along with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a bit exaggerated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao, with no connections, managed to reach where he is today over ten years—he’s certainly no lazybones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Zhang Nan, he’s still far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy has no distractions—only work fills his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Voice acting hones your line delivery, Boss. If you need time to date, I won’t tell you to prioritize work—but right now, you don’t seem to have anything else going on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Nan sincerely hoped his boss would put the bigger picture first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My situation… isn’t great. It’s hard to practice at home during the holidays…” He quickly made excuses—how could a boss work overtime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, just give me an address—I’ll arrange a nearby recording studio for you. No one will disturb you. You can practice properly, even do the official recording if you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After earnest persuasion, Qi Hao was slightly convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a pang of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent doesn’t get much from him anymore, especially now that he’s started his own studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the studio works hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the slick old legal guy, Yao Weihong, often works past ten to sort out his legal disputes from the past few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized he had to work harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his team, who rely on him for their livelihood, wouldn’t suddenly lose their jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, Zhang Nan arrived in Jinmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this workaholic wouldn’t just pick any random place for Qi Hao to practice recording.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought recording materials and took Qi Hao to a studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The studio was inside a cultural creative park, very close to Qi Hao’s home—just a ten-minute walk, easy to reach after dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao’s house was old, but its downtown location made it incredibly convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The equipment’s okay, right?” Zhang Nan didn’t understand this stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His principle for choosing studios was simple: close to Qi Hao’s home, and advanced equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pretty good—all top-tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao had acted in many films and TV dramas, but live sound recording was rare—most required post-production dubbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His line delivery was solid; he rarely let others dub his roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, they’ve assigned staff for you during the holiday—you practice here. In a couple days, the production team will send a dubbing director. If it fits, we’ll record officially. Boss, don’t worry—you won’t miss family time. Max eight hours a day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Nan watched his boss’s mood—if anything seemed off, he’d cut it to six hours, or even four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Qi Hao had always taken work seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he took it on, he’d do it well—after all, it was three Santana 2000s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongzi was still not human enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he’d taken on two dubbing jobs, why couldn’t he count it as completing double the tasks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward him two system-version Santana 2000s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or change 3\u002F3 to 6\u002F6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people, even if they spent all day in a car, wouldn’t reach that in a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing for hours, Qi Hao strolled home leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few would guess that this popular star was now walking down the old street with his hands tucked in his sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the courtyard gate, he met someone unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall but extremely thin, wearing a loose, baggy down jacket, his hair long and unkempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Shen Sanshui, Qi Hao’s junior high classmate and neighbor downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy who wrote web novels and dreamed of becoming a grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sanshui!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, you greet someone you meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haozi, big star now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Sanshui looked slightly uneasy seeing Qi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they were classmates since childhood and lived in the same building, they hadn’t seen much of each other in recent years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao used to fight constantly with his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent years, Shen Sanshui stayed home all day, rarely going out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, if his parents hadn’t gone visiting and if the house hadn’t piled up two big bags of trash, he might not have left at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, he and Qi Hao had always been compared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Qi Hao dropped out of junior high to chase dreams—it became a stain on Teacher Qi’s reputation and gossip for neighbors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Shen Sanshui excelled academically and got into a prestigious university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Qi Hao grew more famous, becoming a household name nationwide, while Shen Sanshui became a homebound dreamer living off his parents, their reputations reversed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t joke. Big star? Just scraping by. You know I never did well in school, and my parents are teachers—I had too much pressure. I just ran away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao waved off the cigarette offered—he didn’t smoke, not because it was bad, but because he never smoked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a teacher’s child—he had to set an example in everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scraping by is fine. I can’t even support myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Sanshui blew a smoke ring, his face shrouded in smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same age as Qi Hao, but his face was worn out from sleepless nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Things will get better,” Qi Hao sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew a sad, thick wall now separated him from Shen Sanshui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could never again play marbles together after school like they did as kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for your good wishes~” Shen Sanshui smiled faintly, imagining something wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably becoming a grandmaster, reaching the Platinum level with one novel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d heard these terms from Qi Hao’s mom—no woman escapes gossip, and Qi’s mom, a teacher, was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao and Shen Sanshui made Qi’s mom question life itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, she even doubted whether education mattered at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many educators probably felt similar confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her son didn’t go to school but became a star, while the boy downstairs, Shen Sanshui, aced his studies yet chose to live off his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it personality—or educational failure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some awkward small talk, they went home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Qi Hao chose to use the “Harmony Brings Prosperity” reward training session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not he was a Penguin shareholder, no matter how much the system rewarded him, his own acting was his foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, pick today’s training partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirmation, Random 1\u002FRandom 2\u002FRandom 3 became Hui Kwan Ying \u002F Zhou Xingxing \u002F Fang Long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao quickly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was a comedy actor special—Hui Kwan Ying, Zhou Xingxing, and Fang Long were all comedy actors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt—he picked Zhou Xingxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Wang Jing, Zhou Xingxing chose gold over friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said he valued money more than friendship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao despised that philosophy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like with Old Tian—you give him two thousand yuan, he won’t betray a single piece of information about Old Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money can be earned again; friends last a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the training NPC didn’t care—he was just a tool for Qi Hao to train comedy roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao picked A Chinese Odyssey Part One: The Holy Mountain, stepped into Zhou Xingxing’s perspective, and trained the scene where he begged for sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao felt a wave of dizziness, then opened his eyes—he was outside the Hua Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the one good thing about the training space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how you set up a classroom, it could never match the immersion of a real movie set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey, the scene’s about to start—don’t move, no matter what happens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said you’d give me all your money—don’t back out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha, with your intelligence, do you think you can fool me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fair point!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Non-NPC characters strictly followed the movie’s portrayal—though stiff, they were sufficient for scene practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other character who competed with Tang Bohu in pity soon arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The role was well-designed, and actor Liang Rongzhong performed it excellently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his part as Zhou Xingxing, Qi Hao went back and performed his own part again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, acting alongside Zhou Xingxing truly improves one’s craft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xingxing’s acting has indeed been underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tear-jerking scene took several takes to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xingxing coached him hand-over-hand on the side, sometimes even pulling Qi Hao aside to demonstrate the scene himself, bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Zhou Xingxing doesn’t have such a good temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Zhou Xingxing, Qi Hao’s main problem right now is that he hasn’t fully shed his idol baggage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s definitely an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In “Heavenly Dog” and “The Promise,” he still didn’t go crazy enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since no outsiders could see inside the training space, Qi Hao decisively transformed into a lunatic—his Tang Bohu was even crazier than Zhou Xingxing’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that scene with the Four Talents traveling together? The shame factor was off the charts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao even fought with the woman who turned back to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“OK, the fight was decent, but that earlier dialogue scene still fell short—you didn’t control the details well. Actually, you could kiss him first; that’d completely erase your shame. Yeah, for the movie!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training NPC Zhou Xingxing enthusiastically offered suggestions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, you didn’t kiss him!” Qi Hao was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to stick strictly to the script in the training space—you don’t need to be so rigid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xingxing gripped Qi Hao’s shoulders, fully embodying his role as a training NPC: if it helped the host’s acting, he wouldn’t mind if the host kissed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s not in the movie plot!” Qi Hao wanted to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actress playing this woman is Li Jianren—he’s truly a bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether he’s willing doesn’t matter much—you can just force it. Want me to hold him down for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as an NPC, the comedy master retained his sense of humor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao glanced again at the bearded woman who had respawned in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but feel like vomiting.\u003C\u002Fp>",1688,"2026-06-20T03:01:22.774Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6b584dc0315a123a854bf3f97958084d27ea305e1467d0a2e3ef6cfa5e1b9e1b","i-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-chapter-30","i-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-chapter-28",343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-cover.jpg"]
