Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years

Chapter 382: The Wedding


The wedding leaned a bit towards a Western style.

An Feng, dressed in a pure white wedding dress, looked as beautiful as a white fairy.

Paired with her slightly tearful eyes of grievance, Qi Hao couldn't help but hold her in his arms.

This was the girl he had wanted for many years, and today he finally stamped her as his own.

From this day forward, she would be his wife.

"Hey, hey, hey, let go of our bride. It's not too late to embrace her after the wedding,"

Sa Beining quickly intervened.

He knew that the most important thing in a marriage was... intimacy.

But at least consider the feelings of all these guests.

Qi Hao had no choice but to release An Feng.

An Feng looked up at Qi Hao, tears streaming down her face.

She didn't know why she was crying.

Perhaps it was seeing her father's eyes turn red, seeing her mother wiping away tears.

Realizing that her life was about to enter a new chapter.

But she could clearly feel that she wasn't sad.

"Groom, you have at least three things to say!"

The host took a playful route, sparking laughter among the audience.

Many people turned to look at Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen, of course, came today. "Let the Bullets Fly" grossed over 700 million, and most importantly, the word of mouth was explosive, allowing him to truly stand tall and make money.

Now, many people are paying attention to his new film.

But everyone knows Jiang Wen's filming frequency, a movie every few years; there's no point in rushing.

"Don't cry, don't cry today, and I won't let you cry in the future either,"

Qi Hao casually helped the bride straighten her hair.

"Good, two more sentences!"

Sa Beining started clapping, but he wasn't buying it either.

Crying, crying counts as time too.

There are so many reasons to cry in life.

The question is whether it's crying from sadness or crying from happiness.

"Thank you, Qianqian, thank you for choosing to marry me,"

said Qi Hao for the second sentence. He's not the type to always listen, but there were things he wanted to say.

From 2004...

No, perhaps from an even earlier point in time, he was attracted to An Feng without realizing it.

Back then, he was too busy, and An Feng was too young, so the thought only briefly crossed his mind.

Later, Ziwen's Ma Zhongjun handed him a script, asking if he'd perform in it.

It was the much-contested "The Return of the Condor Heroes" that Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan were fighting over, Zhang Jizhong's marketing play completely backfired, offending both of them thoroughly, and choosing either would cause controversy.

Ma Zhongjun intervened and got hold of the script.

When Qi Hao saw the actress listed as An Feng for Little Dragon Girl, he "gladly" accepted the role.

Of course, he told himself this was a big Jin Yong IP, and for Huayu actors not to take a Jin Yong series felt like something was missing.

He fooled himself, and he fooled everyone else.

"Thank you for loving me, and thank you for being willing to marry me,"

An Feng's head was almost buried in Qi Hao's arms; she found the wedding much harder than filming, with so many familiar faces watching them.

She wasn't used to speaking her heart out in front of so many people.

"Alright, the third sentence!"

Sa Beining was glad he'd watched "Let the Bullets Fly," as there were many popular phrases he could directly use.

"I hope we can always be like this, happy growing old together, accompanying each other for life."

Qi Hao didn't have much more to say.

He's not overly fond of making grand promises; saying nice things isn't necessarily useful.

Being loyal to love, being loyal to marriage...

Such promises at a wedding are inherently unreliable, especially in an entertainment industry marriage.

There are too many people pessimistic about their marriage.

Today they marry in the day, and by night, the media might already be writing negative articles.

For instance, Qi Hao being ambiguous with Fan Xuexue at the wedding, and An Feng tearing up on the spot.

The two are suspected to have unresolved feelings.

"..."

An Feng wanted to cry again.

She wasn't the type who liked crying,

But ever since becoming Qi Hao's girlfriend, she seemed to have become much more vulnerable.

Thank you, for someone who will accompany me through the rest of my life, with every sunrise and sunset.

Ms. Liu sat in the audience, beside her mother, An Feng's grandmother.

The elderly lady looked wistful:

"Truly wonderful, I hope they can continue like this."

Her greatest regret was her daughter's divorce.

To have someone who understands you, and to not part till white-haired.

However, the one she fought to marry became like a stranger.

Now her granddaughter is getting married.

She's afraid her daughter will feel even lonelier.

Fortunately, this grandson-in-law seems reliable, at least he won't disregard his mother-in-law.

The groom and bride interacted on stage.

The best man and maid of honor were invited on stage.

Mainly to discuss topics everyone shares, demonstrating the genuineness of the couple's feelings and proving they are made for each other.

Then the parents took the stage.

It was pretty much like an ordinary person's wedding.

The wedding process wasn't too cumbersome, you could even say it was simplified.

There was no rowdiness either.

Qi Hao's status after all was there, playing too wildly would make his many employees wonder.

Cross-dressing was out of the question.

Qi Hao doesn't need to be aloof, but at least requires the company's employees and executives to respect or even fear him.

There's a saying in The Analects that goes "Too close to be respectful," which makes sense here.

The main focus is the toasting session.

Qi Hao and An Feng changed clothes and went table to table to toast.

There were simply too many people here today, making it difficult to toast individually.

Most of them toasted table by table.

When meeting someone who needed special attention, they would stop and chat for a while.

By the time everything wrapped up, it was already quite late.

After all was done, the family gathered together for a late-night snack.

The whole family was busy from top to bottom, even Hu Shan couldn't eat a few mouthfuls of food peacefully.

"Be sure to stay safe when you go out..."

Ms. Liu reminded her daughter and son-in-law; the two kids would be going abroad for their honeymoon next.

Of course, there are places to have fun inland.

But, unfortunately, both of them are major stars, with people recognizing them everywhere, making it hard to enjoy themselves fully.

"Don't worry, we'll bring a lot of bodyguards."

Qi Hao can be cowardly when he needs to be; he's going to Thailand next month for filming, so they're headed there now.

At least for the short term, Thailand is relatively safe.

If it were an ordinary crew, they wouldn't be given much attention once there.

But Qi Hao is different.

After all, several of Qi Hao's movies last year were box office hits in Thailand, and local film companies welcome him with open arms, naturally ensuring the crew's safety.

Without some background, who dares to make movies?

Like Xiangjiang in the 90s, many film companies were essentially Black Society.

Moreover, Qi Hao is a shareholder of companies like Penguin and Apple, which also have business dealings in Thailand and will offer various convenient protections for Qi Hao.

Merely relying on civilian protection isn't enough.

Qi Hao's connections are deep-rooted back inland, making it easy to gain the attention of our grand historical department.

Not only does he communicate with the historical department, but he's also connected with the officials over there.

Under the guise of inspection and investment.

The wealthy have their circle, especially someone like Qi Hao playing venture capital.

No matter if it's a real or fake investment, they must show the best side to Qi Hao.

Otherwise, it will affect recruitment.

Plus, Qi Hao brought many people over too, so there's absolutely no need to worry about safety.

Only Ms. Liu always feels uneasy.

Actually, she and An Feng did not not have traveled to Thailand.

Her concern stems from not being able to follow along.

But after all, honeymoon planning definitely won't include the mother-in-law.

So, she's a bit anxious and worried.

"Haohao, take good care of Qianqian; don't let her feel aggrieved, or there'll be no mercy for you when you return."

Mrs. Qi quickly added.

Actually, in her opinion, both are public figures, so there's really no need to go on this honeymoon.

But she certainly can't say that.

As the newly minted mother-in-law, she supports whatever the daughter-in-law wants to do now.

"Relax, it's not like we haven't been out."

Qi Hao wanted to roll his eyes; he's a married man now.

And people still doubt him.

"Now that you've had the wedding, you can start considering when to have kids."

Ms. Liu finally let go of her nerves and began worrying about other things.

"Mom!"

How terrifying, she began urging children on the very day of the wedding.

"I'm doing this for your benefit. While you're young, having kids sooner will help you recover quickly. If you wait until you're thirty or forty, I won't even start on whether you can conceive; it harms your body too."

DINK is completely off the table.

DINK does the most harm to the woman; men claim they don't want their wife to have kids, but they can completely divorce and remarry when they want kids.

Men maintain fertility until they're seventy, but women can't.

"We'll discuss it later."

Qi Hao suspected that the alleged inability to have kids at thirty or forty was a veiled doubt about his abilities.

But he had no evidence.

"I'm only twenty-four..."

An Feng doesn't dislike kids; she just hasn't really considered the issue.

Generally, for girls who attend university, they might graduate at around twenty-two.

If they pursue a master's, then it's around twenty-five.

So, no matter if it's twenty-two, twenty-four, or twenty-five, these are just barely post-graduation ages.

To many, marriage seems distant.

Let alone having kids.

An Feng has a successful career, and she's not considering retirement.

"Twenty-four isn't young; your mother-in-law will retire in two months, and I'll be free with nothing to do. If you have the child now, you won't need to bother with it; your mother-in-law and I will help take care of it."

Ms. Liu felt idle and bored every day.

She's decided to have her daughter give her a grandson to care for.

Regarding her daughter's career, she might have stressed earlier not to give it up for love as that's a romantic delusion.

But circumstances have changed now.

Qi Hao's career is booming, and relatively speaking, her daughter's efforts seem minor.

If both are busy with their careers, their relationship might face problems.

Better to let her daughter manage their little home without abandoning her career.

"Ahem, we've finished eating; you take your time, and we'll go discuss things."

Qi Hao pulled An Feng away.

On such a big day, he couldn't let his wife and mother-in-law clash.

"My mom, really, going on about rain whenever she wants, flip-flopping; one moment telling me to stay safe and avoid pregnancy, now urging me..." An Feng walked as she vent her complaints, realizing she'd returned to the hotel room: "What are you doing?"

"Researching the baby-making issue..."
