it was impossible to replace the lead at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, these weren’t fatal scandals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many in the entertainment industry with questionable orientations still became huge stars, and sometimes even gained better resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that many of today’s popular young male actors have ambiguous orientations—or claim theirs are fine but are flexible enough to satisfy the desires of powerful figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the “Shi-Xue Eight Beauties,” or the “Hai Yan Male Beauties…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the set of “Immortal Sword 3,” everyone kept filming and having fun as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides filming, Qi Hao read books and studied, listening to Zhang Songwen give him lessons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhang Songwen’s one-month course ended, Qi Hao thought the service quality was good, so he extended it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to seriously study method acting theory and integrate it with practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the training space only opened when completing tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One task opened it once, and each session lasted only eight hours, severely hindering Qi Hao’s progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qi Hao had won the Best Actor award, he hadn’t become arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he still had a long way to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His decision to take the role in “The Dog” for free certainly wasn’t because the director, Qi Jian, shared his surname.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Rooster Best Actor award certainly wasn’t the end goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped the dog system wouldn’t be ungrateful and would eventually upgrade to resolve this issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the rampant scandals, the only thing Qi Hao did was call the implicated powerful figures to sincerely apologize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t know these figures had been dragged down by Zhan Qi Laideng, it never hurt to show proper respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he’d shown proper courtesy, even if these powerful figures wanted to blame someone, they couldn’t blame him—the victim—since all the hatred had been drawn toward the Six Major Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew didn’t distance themselves from Qi Hao despite the scandals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Qi Hao gay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spend some time with him and you’d see how ridiculous these rumors were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if he were gay, so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, you don’t have to worry about being taken advantage of if you gossip with him; second, you can both be great “sisters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s settled—double blessings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the gossip still had to keep spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The media abandoned the rumor that Qi Hao was gay and stopped mentioning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you know there are tigers in the mountains, then don’t go near the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They once again dug deep into the safe territory of Qi Hao’s gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi’s opportunity naturally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi liked to plan ahead; she felt her talent wasn’t good enough, so she had to work harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before deciding to gossip with Qi Hao, she had someone create a table for analysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, she just gathered data on the female stars who had gossiped with Qi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi looked through it while complaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, you’ve gossiped with way too many people—are you some kind of love god?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, I just want to gossip with you; if I actually dated you, I’d get cursed bald by all your gossip girlfriends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t have much hair left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she realized she herself would become one of these gossip girlfriends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh my god, I’m the fool here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, she lost the moral high ground to complain and kept silently staring at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The table showed which women had become famous after gossiping with Qi Hao, which remained mediocre, and which had vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Data proved that gossiping with Qi Hao didn’t guarantee fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the data also proved that some people did turn their fortunes around after gossiping with Qi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word “turning fortune” was extremely important to Yang Mi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Yang Mi needed most right now was to turn her fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Qi Hao’s many gossip cases, they summarized several key points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, don’t put others down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found some female stars gossiping about Qi Hao using the tactic: \"Qi Hao wants to chase me, but I won't let him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like Qi Hao wasn’t good enough for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cases almost always ended in failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, don’t deceive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when the manipulation was too obvious, forcing Qi Hao to publicly clarify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a soft target to be manipulated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Qi Hao clarified, he naturally faced attacks from his female fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their combat power was still strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when targeting Qi Hao’s gossip girlfriends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the gossip was normal, they mostly discussed whether the pair matched and how they compared to the previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, you can join our No. 7, but don’t force it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like mom fans choosing a daughter-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, don’t be too forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natural development was most valuable; if the woman was too eager, showing clear ambition, Qi Hao would quickly retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi had personally witnessed how Qi Hao and An Feng developed their gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, their private interactions weren’t frequent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main thing was rehearsing scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally they’d chat about topics both found interesting, always seeming to enjoy the conversations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That feeling arose naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every casual photo looked like a perfectly composed picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having decided, Yang Mi set her plan in motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to her, Yang Mi’s behavior was like a firefly in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind that glows right on its ass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao had known long ago she was planning to target him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since early April, when Qi Hao returned to the set, she had subtly interacted with him—sometimes chatting about “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” sometimes about practical acting methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the conversation got deep, she’d lean close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When something was funny, she’d laugh and rest her head on Qi Hao’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m giving you the chance—will you take it or not…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most annoying kind; “The Return of the Condor Heroes” was a genuine shared topic, impossible to deny since they’d worked together—and happily at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, people had already said Yang Mi wasn’t acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were on the same set; they couldn’t avoid interaction, and during interaction, they certainly couldn’t sit stiffly all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playful antics and physical contact were normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many stars became lovers or friends after working together, their bond formed through months of daily closeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t just kick her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, gossip naturally arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the media captured a photo of Qi Hao and Yang Mi sharing one phone, their heads nearly touching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the spring sunlight of southern China filtered through the tree shade, falling on both of them—the scene as beautiful as a watercolor of interwoven light and shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the photo, Yang Mi looked slightly pouting, while Qi Hao looked slightly smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This photo was clearly taken secretly by someone on set and then leaked to the media.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On set, extras or staff often secretly photographed stars and sold the images to the media; as long as they weren’t caught, the income was very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The internet was so forgetful—just days ago everyone was saying Qi Hao was gay, now they were saying he was promiscuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entered a new set, and sure enough, he started gossiping with a new female star again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t you propose to Fan Xuexue on the red carpet just last year?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefit of this gossip was that it completely washed away the previous scandal claiming Qi Hao was gay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, anyone who said Qi Hao was gay was instantly labeled a mindless hater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even professional trolls no longer bother mentioning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What were you doing?” Zhang Nan looked at Qi Hao with a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you repaying your agent, who has been wholeheartedly helping you build your career, like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just stepped out for a bit, and you’ve already hooked up with another?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss, women only slow down your sword-drawing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t quite remember what I was doing—she definitely wanted to sleep with me; look at her eyes, they were practically dripping.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but now, looking at the photo, it was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Zhang Nan steadied his breathing and asked again: \"You had a book on your knee and were holding your phone—weren't you looking up words you didn't know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right, I remember now—I said 'qiang jing' for 'strong and vigorous,' but she insisted it was 'qiang jin,' meaning 'powerful.' Of course I disagreed, so I checked it on my phone—and naturally, I won.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao thought this wasn't a big deal; it was mainly the media overreacting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone wants to smear you, they'll always find an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what do we do now? How did we handle similar things before? Do we need to clarify anything? Should we coordinate with An Yu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Nan placed the book he'd just bought for Qi Hao on the bedside table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like we don't need to do anything—we never really handled it before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao thought carefully: according to Lao Tian's view, situations like Yang Mi's would most likely turn out mutually beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone shares the spotlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Qi Hao doesn't need to spend any money—anyone wanting to hype up the trend is the woman's side footing the bill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lao Tian called it \"prostitution fees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just watch the direction and don't let the woman drag you down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, you absolutely can't take this seriously—Yang Mi isn't a good match. She's too career-driven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have the nerve to talk about someone else being career-driven?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao was amused by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Career-driven women make good subordinates, not girlfriends. Boss, you should find someone rich and obedient. Right now, priorities come first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Nan felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't truly opposed to Qi Hao dating—he had no right to forbid it, after all, he himself had dated, married, and even had a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was fool Qi Hao—wealthy women are worth the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>",1654,"2026-06-20T03:01:22.774Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ff4482be28391734c9fdf194a0458173fdc1978083987d54641d0a259772560d","i-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-chapter-47","i-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-chapter-45",343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-cover.jpg"]
