Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 100: I was too immersed in the play and became obsessed
Holding the signed contract and Li Xiaoyao's script, Qin Chuan left Tangren headquarters.

The contract signing procedure has to be followed. He signs it, the branch company seals it, and the headquarters seals it before it finally takes effect.

Considering that they were all family members, Cai Yinong gave him the script before the process was completed and asked him to go back and think about it carefully.

"Sister Jin, it's done!"

At the hotel, Qin Chuan signed the contract and handed it to Jinlian.

"Okay, okay, okay." Jin Lian said three "okay" words in a row with a smile: "It's almost the end of the year. If you are really short of money, I can help you promote your commercial performances in the near future. The first priority is to study the script carefully."

She thought Qin Chuan would say that there was no conflict between doing business and reading the script, and she was mentally prepared to persuade him.

Who knew Qin Chuan said: "I thought so too. Mr. Cai said that the male lead has been confirmed, and the remaining roles will be soon. It will start shooting in less than two months. Time is tight, so I won't take any outside work."

The important roles in this drama are played by my family members, so there is no scheduling conflict and no need to wait.

The male lead is certain, and the rest of the people will be in place soon.

Tangren is a mature film and television company with a complete shooting team and equipment, ready to go into work at any time.

Jinlian said, "Then let's have a dinner tonight, have a celebration banquet, and go back tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm treating you today."

The next day at noon, Qin Chuan, Jin Lian and Wang Tingting flew back to Peiping.

Moon Festival.

Qin Chuan met Huang Bo, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Huang Bo came to visit him, carrying a box of mooncakes.

It's been a long time since we last saw each other. Huang Bo's long flowing hair, like Chen Haonan's, has been cut short, and he has lost a lot of weight.

While they were chatting, Huang Bo asked, "Are you going home for the New Year this year?"

"I'll be starring in a movie soon. It's a critical time. I may not be able to go back. I'll come back next year." Qin Chuan looked at Huang Bo who looked a little haggard and said, "What about you? What are your plans? You should do an internship next year."

Huang Bo spent two years in college and one year in internship.

I will be entering society in May next year.

Huang Bo smiled and said, "You are still worried about me. I have plenty of options. Even if I can't play a big role, I have plenty of ordinary roles."

Qin Chuan followed up and said, "I forgot that your connections and strength are there."

If I remember correctly, Huang Bo played a few small roles while he was in school. It was even worse after he graduated from school, and he didn't even have any small roles.

It wasn't until 2005 when he starred in Crazy Stone, which was released in 2006, that he made a comeback.

"That's right." Huang Bo was even proud.

Qin Chuan said, "I will be joining the crew soon. I won't be back for three or four months. The house cannot be left unattended."

"You'll have to consider renting a house after the new year anyway, so why not just move in with me?"

Huang Bo waved his hand and said, "I've already found a house. I won't live here with you."

He has indeed found a house he likes. It's an old and small single room near the back door of Beijing Film Academy. A senior student is living there now. He will take over after she leaves next semester.

"Why are you so reluctant to leave? Is there someone outside?" Qin Chuan frowned and was about to take out his cell phone to make a call: "I have to report this situation to my sister."

"Why are you calling?" Huang Bo stopped him: "I'm staying here, isn't it okay for me to stay here?"

"That's right. I'll give you the key later and you can move in anytime. There's 10,000 yuan in cash in my study drawer. If you need it, take it yourself."

"I'll make it clear to the landlord. You can just live here. Winter is coming. Just turn on the air conditioner. Don't be stingy..."

Huang Bo never thought that one day he would need his brother-in-law to take care of him.

This is why I have rarely met Qin Chuan during this period and why I am unwilling to live here.

I'm sorry I have too much self-esteem.

However, he didn't plan to come over for the time being, so as to avoid being nagged by Qin Chuan. It would be best to wait until Qin Chuan left.

A week later, Wang Baoqiang finished filming for A World Without Thieves, and the first thing he did when he returned to Peiping was to look for Qin Chuan.

The two of them had a meal together, during which Qin Chuan hinted at washing feet several times, but Bao Qiang acted as if he didn't hear it.

I don't know who said that they would invite him to heaven on earth when he comes back.

Finally, Qin Chuan said clearly: "Are you going to wash your feet again when you come back this time?"

"What to wash?" Wang Baoqiang was at a loss.

"Wash your feet?"

"What feet?"

"You're just pretending to be stupid with me, right?"

Bao Qiang said bitterly: "Brother Chuan, things are different now. I can't clean it now. My agent is in charge of me every day. I need the company's permission to date."

"Why don't you go by yourself and order something expensive, I'll reimburse you."

Qin Chuan held a cigarette between his lips and said repeatedly: "It's faded, it's faded, the feelings have faded, okay, I'll go by myself."

Having said that, he stood up and walked towards the direction of heaven and earth.

Behind him, Baoqiang looked at his friend's dejected back, gritted his teeth and followed him: "Let me make it clear, this is the last time."

An hour and a half later, the two came out of Heaven and Earth.

The mouth keeps smacking.

"Don't say that. It's expensive for a reason. The foot washers are so pretty. It's worth the money."

"I'm late. How does that sentence go?" Baoqiang racked his brains but couldn't think of an answer.

Qin Chuan said: "I regret that we didn't meet before I got married."

"Yes, that's it."

"What's there to hate about this? Come back tomorrow."

Bao Qiang shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I will quit from now on."

Two days later, at night.

Qin Chuan, who had just woken up from a dream, called Bao Qiang and said, "This is my first time playing the leading actor. Should we celebrate?"

"Okay!" Baoqiang's firm voice came from the other end of the phone.

Playing the leading male role is a major life event and should indeed be celebrated.

A few days later, Qin Chuan called again.

"I've received the notice and will be joining the group next month. Why don't you ask me to wash again? Just consider it a farewell."

Bao Qiang gritted his teeth: "Okay."

There is no other way, but he can't refuse the reason of seeing someone off. It is estimated that this is the last time to wash Qin Chuan's feet, so please satisfy him.

Seven or eight days later, Qin Chuan called and said, "Today is my birthday."

"wash!"

It’s my buddy’s birthday, no matter what, I have to wash it, it only happens once a year.

In October, Qin Chuan, who had already fully understood the role of Li Xiaoyao, was ready to call Bao Qiang again.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy."

"Ok?"

"That's not right. If you're on the phone, it should say so when you call. Why does it take more than ten seconds to say "on the phone"? "

"This kid hung up on me?"

Qin Chuan continued to beat him. If one time didn't work, he would beat him twice. He was also persistent. When he beat him for the seventh time, Bao Qiang said in a crying voice:
"Brother, I really can't wash anymore."

"I didn't say I was washing your feet, I just wanted to treat you to a meal."

"Really?"

"real."

"Then come to my house and eat. I'll order some dishes."

Now Baoqiang is afraid whenever he hears Qin Chuan’s phone call. He goes to wash his feet every few days, which even alarms his agent.

He also told him to sever his relationship with Qin Chuan.

Now he can only interact with Qin Chuan secretly, not daring to let anyone know, as if they were having an underground relationship.

"No problem, I'll be there right away."

Qin Chuan put on his coat and went out, and took a taxi to Wang Baoqiang's residence.

After signing with Huayi, Baoqiang also changed his residence and said goodbye to the cold and damp basement.
Now it is a one-bedroom residential building. On the way there, Qin Chuan bought a box of beer.

The two of them ate and drank, and after finishing a box of wine, Baoqiang felt that his steps were out of control for some reason. He promised to give Qin Chuan a ride, and while doing so, he arrived at Tianshang Renjian.

The next morning, when he walked out of the club, he squatted on the side of the road and slapped himself a few times.

Qin Chuan, who was standing next to him, felt sorry for him and quickly and skillfully handed over the cigarette and lighter.

Then he casually put his coat on his shoulders, hailed a taxi from the roadside and drove away facing the rising sun.

Baoqiang squatted and smoked at the entrance of Tianshang Renjian. He looked at the lighter in his hand and said, "Hey, why did it become plastic?"

He has a lot of Qinchuan lighters at home, some of which are kerosene-burning, some are made of steel, and some are printed with incomprehensible English.

"Brother, you are in such a bad situation that you even used a lighter that cost one dollar just to ask me to wash your feet."

"I'm really not a human being!"

……

In October, just a few days after the Double Ninth Festival, Qin Chuan and Wang Tingting boarded a plane to Hengdian.

This time, he chose a monthly package.

On the plane, Wang Tingting took pictures of the clouds outside the window and said: "I have never flown as many times in my life as I have in the past few months with you."

"You'll get used to it." Qin Chuan crossed his legs lazily, reading a magazine to pass the time.

Wang Tingting put away her SLR camera and stared at him carefully.

Qin Chuan stepped back: "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

Wang Tingting said nothing and continued to stare at him.

"Are you sick? What do you want to do?"

Wang Tingting said: "Smile."

Qin Chuan smiled impatiently.

"Aren't you tired?" Wang Tingting suddenly said.

"Why are you tired?"

"I say, you're acting in real life, aren't you tired?" Wang Tingting said seriously, "You should be getting into the new role you're about to play, right?"

Qin Chuan sat up straight and put away his smile: "Did you act like it?"

In recent times, he has experienced Li Xiaoyao over and over again, and the memory of him is so deep.

If Wang Tingting hadn't said it, he wouldn't have realized it. Imperceptibly, Li Xiaoyao also came to reality.

"Very similar." Wang Tingting said: "If someone is not familiar with you, they will definitely think that this is your personality."

"But I have been in contact with you more often, and I know what you are like normally, so I feel awkward."

"It's like wearing a mask on your face, becoming a different person."

"If you're on stage or on a set, it's normal to do this, but if you do this in real life, it's a little scary."

Qin Chuan held his chin in his hand and remained silent for a few seconds: "I have read too many scripts and have done some in-depth research on the role. After the filming of this play is finished, I will take a good rest for a while."

Wang Tingting admired his professionalism but also felt a little sorry for him. He was so obsessed with acting that he was really the best.

"You don't have to wait until the filming is over. You can have more hobbies and interests, such as drinking and chatting with friends."

"We have gathered together, and we have gathered together a lot."

"What do you guys do at the party?"

"Studying foot massage."

Wang Tingting: "..."

“How much does it cost to wash your feet?”

"It depends. The cheap ones are 68 or 88, and the expensive ones are 500 to 600 or even 1,800."

Tian Shang Ren Jian is expensive, and you get what you pay for. The technicians' figures, looks and skills are impeccable.

There are also educational requirements. I heard that the minimum requirement is a bachelor's degree.

Order a set meal, and you can enjoy many activities, such as bathing, karaoke, massage, seafood, and billiards...

Wang Tingting had never washed her feet before. When she heard that it cost so much money, she said distressedly: "Why are you spending that much money? It's just washing your feet. Give me the money and I'll wash them for you."

Qin Chuan found it funny: "You know how to massage?"

"What's so difficult about this? It's just relaxing the muscles. I can learn it."

"Will you wear black stockings, high heels, and a maid outfit?"

"If you order one that costs a thousand or eight hundred, I can wear it too."

"You can do soft style?"

Wang Tingting didn't understand: "What is soft style?"

Qin Chuan wanted to tease her, so he waved and said, "Come closer and listen."

Qin Chuan briefly introduced the soft style to her ear. After listening, Wang Tingting's neck and ears instantly turned red, and she stammered:
“This costs extra money!”

Qin Chuan: "..."

"What are you thinking about? Girls should be more reserved. You are not short of money, why do you do all this... How much do you want to add?"

Wang Tingting laughed: "I was lying to you, but you took it seriously. Oh my god, you actually asked me the price. Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't see that from ordinary people."

Now it was Qin Chuan's turn to blush.

Damn, I was tricked.

Wang Tingting patted his shoulder and said, "With our relationship, there's no point in talking about money. Come to my room tonight and I'll give you a full set."

"Let me make this clear first. I will lock the door after 11 o'clock and will not wait for you after that time."

Qin Chuan was so stunned that he didn't want to talk anymore. He must be stupid to try whether Wang Tingting locked the door.

If the plane window could be opened, he would have wanted to jump out.

Damn it, the character that I have been building for so long has collapsed.

Wang Tingting leaned against the plane window and laughed at the embarrassed Qin Chuan.

This is the real Qin Chuan himself, much better than before when he was talking with a mask on.

My little brother isn't in a good mood. He'll be fine after a little teasing.

……

After arriving at the airport, Qin Chuan and Wang Tingting went straight to the hotel arranged by the crew. The place was not too remote, only half an hour's drive from Hengdian Film and Television Base.

In the lobby on the first floor, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Liu Yifei and her mother carrying their suitcases and checking in at the front desk.

"Hello." Qin Chuan took the initiative to greet.

"Hi!" Liu Yifei waved and responded with a smile.

The two were not surprised by the reunion.

Qin Chuan had long known that the female lead of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 would be Liu Yifei. Shortly after the male lead was confirmed, Jin Lian also told him about the cast of the crew.

Liu Yifei signed the contract later than him, but he also inquired about who the male lead would be before signing.

"The young man looks familiar. Have we met before?" Liu Xiaoli said to Qin Chuan.

She had seen the photo and knew that this was the male protagonist, but there was always a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere.

"It should be Beijing Film Academy. At the end of last year, you brought Liu...Yifei to school. We met once."

Qin Chuan and Liu Yifei were not very familiar with each other, so he simply called each other by their full names.

"Oh, I remember now." Liu Xiaoli remembered that she thought Qin Chuan was a street urchin at first.

"Who is this?" Liu Yifei looked at Wang Tingting.

Qin Chuan introduced: "My makeup artist."

Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli immediately felt something was wrong based on their woman's intuition.

There is no such young and beautiful makeup artist.

Besides, with Qin Chuan’s status, it seems that he is not at the level of needing a personal makeup artist.

The look the mother and daughter gave Qin Chuan suddenly had some meaningful meaning.
