Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 43 Seven Nights
In August 2003, blogs, the predecessor of Weibo, were launched.

Qin Chuan found an Internet cafe and registered an account for himself. In the profile section, he wrote "actor and singer".

In his first blog, he wrote these seven words: "I came, I saw, I conquered."

Magic City, the headquarters of Tangren Film and Television.

In the office, Cai Yinong, who is in his thirties, and Li Guoli, who is in his forties, were chatting. At first, they were talking about family matters and the market, and then they talked about A Chinese Ghost Story.

Li Guoli smiled bitterly and said, "These people in the branch are like dogs. In order to help their subordinates get a chance to join the crew of A Chinese Ghost Story, they call, send text messages, and give gifts every day. They are almost squatting at my door."

Cai Yinong smiled and said, "Didn't you teach me all these tricks during the training?"

Li Guoli was helpless: "I didn't let them use it on me, especially Jinlian. I'm almost convinced. These days, I took my wife shopping, beauty treatments, and mahjong. I'm still taking a roundabout way to save the country."

"With all this time, can't they just go and win over investors, producers, and directors?"

Cai Yinong said: "It's mainly because I'm not as efficient as you in finding producers. To be honest, I've received calls from several agents as well."

Li Guoli asked, "What did you say?"

"I'll let them find you."

Li Guoli: “…”

"I'm just kidding." Cai Yinong laughed, "But they did come to me several times. They are all family members. If it's convenient for you, Brother Li, please help."

"Qin Chuan from Beiping is pretty good. He is young, handsome, talented in both literature and martial arts. He has great potential and courage. Jin Lian praises him highly."

A Chinese Ghost Story is a joint venture between Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is not easy for them to intervene, so they can only use personal connections.

Li Guoli is indeed the best candidate.

Li Guoli had an expected expression on his face: "I knew you would recommend him. He's a Peking Opera martial artist, right?"

Cai Yinong was slightly embarrassed: "That is indeed a factor, but I admire the drive of young people more."

"He signed a five million yuan contract, you know? This is the first time I've heard of an artist raising the contract fee."

"So I want Brother Li to give him a chance."

The reason why Li Guoli mentioned Peking Opera martial arts is because Cai Yinong was born into a Peking Opera family.

Seeing that there are martial artists under the company, it is inevitable to have a better impression of them.

This is indeed the case. Jinlian recommended Qin Chuan to Cai Yinong. After reading his information, her biggest impression was that he was a martial artist, followed by his bold penalty for breach of contract and his good looks.

After taking all the factors into consideration, she was willing to give it a chance.

"Now that you've said that, what else can I do?" Li Guoli continued, "But let me make it clear first, our company is not involved in this play, and I'm not sure what role I can be given."

Cai Yinong smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. We are young, so it's not bad to play the third or fourth male lead. Just consider it as training."

Li Guoli was annoyed: "You make it sound like you are not young anymore."

Cai Yinong smacked his lips: "I'm old, old."

Li Guoli laughed out loud when he heard this.

Among the women he has ever met, Cai Yinong can be ranked among the top three in terms of talent and ability.

Before the age of nineteen, she studied fine arts. After that, she entered the entertainment industry and worked as a reporter, publicist, distributor, screenwriter, film and television post-producer, and actor resource director.

At the age of 25, she became the general manager of China Film Group and the youngest executive in the company.

At the age of 26, she said she was tired of working and wanted to be her own boss.

So he pulled Li Guoli together to found Tangren Films.

Under her leadership, in just a few years, Tangren Film and Television released six or seven films, made a lot of money, opened several branches, and the situation was very good.

In terms of skills, execution, and vision, Li Guoli has never seen a few young people better than Cai Yinong.

Otherwise, he would not have given up his position as director of China Film Group to start a company with her.

……

Beijing, rental house in a residential area.

Qin Chuan and Wang Baoqiang were sitting on the sofa watching a DVD. Today they were watching the third part of A Chinese Ghost Story.

This movie was released in 1991, starring Liang Chaowei, Zhang Xueyou, Wang Zuxian and Li Zhi.

The famous old monk's light-weight drifting skill comes from here. After watching the movie, Wang Baoqiang asked Qin Chuan: "Brother Chuan, what do you think is the difference between this movie and the previous two?"

After watching a movie, they discuss the plot, acting, and merits, which is what the two of them often do.

Baoqiang has benefited a lot from watching the movie for so long, especially some of Qin Chuan's creative ideas have inspired him a lot.

Qin Chuan said seriously: "This play is very explicit."

Baoqiang was puzzled: "Where is it bigger?"

Isn't this just a normal fantasy romance movie?
"The breasts are very big, especially Lizhi." Qin Chuan said: "Zuxian's legs are also very white."

Wang Baoqiang was speechless: "Brother, you just stare at these, right?"

"Just tell me if it's big or not."

"That's indeed big, no, we are discussing acting skills."

The phone on the coffee table rang, and Qin Chuan said to Bao Qiang: "Wait a minute, I'll take a call and then discuss breasts with you, no, legs, acting skills!"

The caller ID showed Jinlian.

Qin Chuan's boss.

"Hey Sister Jin, what's up?"

"I'm here, reading a book. Audition? Got it. Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Okay, be there on time."

Wang Baoqiang didn't say anything. When he heard the word "audition" from Qin Chuan, his ears pricked up and his eyes were full of envy.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan said to Bao Qiang: "I will fly to Hong Kong Island tomorrow to audition for A Chinese Ghost Story."

Wang Baoqiang's eyes widened: "Who are you trying? It can't be a monk."

He had just finished watching the movie and still remembered the scene where the monk was given face wash by a beautiful female ghost.

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking about? This is the TV version, and it has nothing to do with the movie."

"Is Nie Xiaoqian there?"

"That's true."

"How many men are you trying?"

Qin Chuan counted with his fingers: "It should be male four or male five."

The role he is going to try out is the Seven Nights Holy Lord.

The leading male role in this drama is Hong Kong actor Chen Xiaodong, the second male role is Wu Jing, and the third male role is Yuan Hua.

I heard from Jinlian that the role of Saint Lord Qiye is almost the same as that of the villain Jin Guang, so it’s hard to say whether Qin Chuan is the fourth or fifth male lead.

However, judging from the content broadcast later, the character of Qiye had a lot of scenes, second only to the first and second male leads.

The characters are also outstanding.

After the show was aired, no one remembered the male and female lead actors, and all the limelight was stolen by the supporting actors.

"That's amazing." Wang Baoqiang said with emotion: "Including this time, you have played supporting roles twice. Next time, you will be able to go one step further and be close to the leading man."

Qin Chuan climbed fast, and he was not jealous at all, only blessing him.

Because Qin Chuan is a true friend.

I have asked him to wash my feet many times, and the more popular Qin Chuan is, the happier he is.

Qin Chuan said indifferently: "It's still a long way to go before we can become the male lead. It depends on your luck. But you, is there any news about Blind Well?"

As far as he remembers, Blind Shaft was released in 03.

That’s pretty fast.

Wang Baoqiang shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't dare to ask."

Blind Well was too explicit, and in his opinion it was just a pornographic film.

Even though he is the male lead, it's actually quite good that the film is not released.

He didn't want the whole village to say that he had gone into the sea.
