Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 39 Arrogance
"Hello, is this Mr. Hu?"

After the call was connected, Jinlian asked politely.

"It's me, who is this?" Hearing it was a woman's voice, Hu Jun didn't feel relieved at all.

Qin Chuan is a smart guy. He found a middleman to pass the message.

Is this when you are worried about blackmail and you record it yourself?

"Brother Jun, I'm Qin Chuan." Qin Chuan next to him said, "I'm talking to the artist director of Tangren Films. Can you prove for me that I played You Tanzhi in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?"

Hu Jun wiped the cold sweat from his head: "Oh, this is just a small problem. What is the name of this director?"

"Teacher Hu, my name is Jinlian, and I'm the artist director of Beiping Tangren Film and Television. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Pan... Director Jin, it's okay. It's not a problem. Qin Chuan is a good kid. He did play You Tanzhi in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils crew before. He performed very well. He is honest and loyal, modest and eager to learn, and he is good at both civil and military affairs..."

As long as he was not asking for money, Hu Jun was happy to cooperate with Qin Chuan. He just wanted him to confirm that he had played You Tanzhi in the crew. This was too easy.

Moreover, Hu Jun kept praising him, which made Qin Chuan feel a little embarrassed.

"Brother Jun, let's stop here today. I won't bother you anymore. I'll treat you to dinner later."

"No need to delay. I'm just free. You guys are busy."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan said, "Sister Jin, do you want to continue calling? I am also familiar with Director Zhao Jian."

"It's okay, no need." Hearing this, Jinlian was sure that it must be true. Hu Jun's voice was still recognizable.

Even if Qin Chuan found someone to imitate him, she could find out whether Hu Jun knew Qin Chuan and whether Qin Chuan had ever been in the crew of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils by asking around in the circle.

There is no need to waste time now on verifying the authenticity of whether Qin Chuan played You Tanzhi.

"I'm a little curious. What does your family do? How do you know Mr. Hu and Director Zhao Jian? I mean, you seem to be quite familiar with each other in private."

It is not surprising to know the actors and directors in the same crew after having worked in the same crew, but it is a bit difficult to get someone else's private cell phone number.

Judging from Hu Jun’s tone, the two of them were quite familiar with each other.

It seems that he has a special relationship with Zhao Jian.

It's not as simple as just being in one crew. There are so many people in each crew, and the director doesn't have the time to make friends with everyone.

Jinlian guessed that Qin Chuan might be the second generation of a star, or the second generation of a rich man, and had someone behind him.

Having a background means having resources, which is not a bad thing.

In the circle, artists with resources and connections move faster and more steadily.

Just look at the children who came out of the big courtyards and you will know.

"My family is just an ordinary farmer. My parents died early and my grandparents raised me."

"I was able to join the crew of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils because of Brother Gao Hu's introduction. I started as an actor in the crew, then became a stunt double, a body double, and then became a leading actor."

"As for the reason why I am familiar with Jun Ge and Director Zhao Jian, it may be because my professional ability is recognized in the crew. After all, I am pretty good at my job."

Qin Chuan's words were both honest and arrogant.

He did not hide anything about his background, as there was no point in hiding it.

He didn't try to use any connections here.

The statement that one can only gain recognition from others if one has strong professional ability sounds neither humble nor arrogant, but if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit too arrogant.

It means that others get to know him because he is outstanding.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but this is Hu Jun, Zhao Jian.

Hu Jun is a movie emperor, Zhao Jian is a well-known director and Zhang Jizhong's right-hand man.

These two people don't look like the kind of people who would curry favor with Qin Chuan.

For a moment, Jinlian didn't know how to evaluate him. After thinking for a while, she said, "You said you were a stuntman? Have you learned martial arts?"

Qin Chuan smiled confidently and said briefly: "I am a Peking Opera martial artist."

The two chatted for a while, and it was only this sentence that made Jinlian's eyes light up. There are not many young people practicing Peking Opera these days, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He practices Peking Opera, plays a martial arts role, is young, handsome, and knows how to act. Just now he said that he went to Beijing Film Academy to take classes, which adds another quality of being studious. These advantages combined are a big plus.

"No wonder Teacher Hu Jun said you are good at both literature and martial arts."

"is acceptable."

"But he's wrong about one thing. You're not modest at all."

Qin Chuan shrugged: "I am just telling the truth based on my actual situation."

The situation between the two of them is a bit like a job interview, and they must bring out their best side.

It's okay to be humble at other times, but you can't be ambiguous at this time.

"Yes, it's a good thing for young people to have some edge." Jinlian nodded with satisfaction.

In the entertainment industry, which is a big melting pot, if you don’t have an edge and ambition, you will be eliminated sooner or later.

She didn't hate Qin Chuan's arrogance, but admired it instead.

Next, Jinlian asked a few more small questions, including age, education, debut time, social background, interests and hobbies, etc.

Qin Chuan answered them one by one.

After finishing a cup of coffee, Jinlian said, "Come to Tangren Films to see me tomorrow morning and we'll discuss the contract."

Qin Chuan's family background is a bit poor, but compared with his advantages, it can be ignored.

In general, the plasticity is good.

Can sign.

Tangren has an internal rating system for artist potential: S, A, B, C, D.

Level D means pure amateurs, with an appearance score of more than 80 points, which means they have good looks. With a little training, there is a certain chance that they can make a living in this field.

Class C students are generally students from the Beijing Film Academy, the Central Academy of Drama, and the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Needless to say, their appearance is definitely better than that of the general public.

In addition, they have a certain performance foundation, and some of them have special skills, such as singing, dancing, playing guitar, piano, etc.

It is obvious that people with C-level potential have a greater chance of becoming popular than those with D-level potential and are more malleable.

In Jinlian's opinion, Qin Chuan's current potential is considered good among Class C.

As for Grade B, this level of evaluation is generally not aimed at students in school, but at artists who have already debuted and have certain acting skills and fame.

In the Peking branch, Jinlian’s highest authority was only to sign Class B.

Any further decisions will have to be made by the headquarters.

Qin Chuan stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Sister Jin, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

……

The next day, Qin Chuan brought Huang Bo to the Beijing branch of Tangren Film and Television.

A commercial building near the city center.

The front desk clerk introduced Jinlian's name, and within a few minutes, a young girl in a white shirt and a suit skirt came downstairs and led the two people into the elevator.

Seventeenth floor, Tangren Film and Television Branch.

The place is not big, about 200 square meters, and can accommodate about 20 people.

Except for a few independent offices, the rest of the people work in the lobby.

Qin Chuan and Huang Bo looked at each other and confirmed that this was not a listed place.

Last night, the two of them looked up a lot of information about sugar people in movies and TV shows. This morning, they came an hour earlier and asked around, for fear of encountering a scam company.

Fortunately, the result was that this was indeed Tangren’s branch.
