Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 121 Audition, Qin Chuan is your relative

“I don’t like music.”

“I’m not interested in music.”

“I don’t even play guitar at home.”

As soon as Qin Chuan opened his mouth, Jin Lian's blood pressure soared. He continued, "I still like acting. As for music, I just play it and sing when I have time."

This sounds like an irresponsible scumbag.

To him, acting is his wife and singing is his mistress.

In fact, the main reason is that singing does not make money as fast as acting.

The rise of the Internet has dealt a devastating blow to the traditional music market, with piracy rampant and albums difficult to sell.

This blow will continue for several years.

It was not until the major music websites started fighting each other and the few that survived became bigger that singers had a new track.

Release digital music albums on music platforms.

The three giants of QQ Music also emerged at that time.

Relying on the Internet, his popularity is comparable to that of Jay Chou and Ling Junjie.

But Qin Chuan was so hungry and thirsty that he couldn't wait that long.

He still chooses to make money as an actor, accumulate fame first, then set up a studio, invest once he has the initial capital, and make movies, earning hundreds of millions for one movie.

"Alas!" Jinlian sighed heavily: "It's up to you. Your music signature is not in the company anyway."

"If you have time in the next two days, go record the theme songs for The Legend of Sword and Fairy. There are two songs in total, Rain in June and Sigh of Freedom."

“One is a song that’s already been released, and one is the soundtrack.”

Originally, Jinlian wanted the company to buy the rights to these two songs and let Qin Chuan sing them, so that he would have two more "representative works."

But Qin Chuan's arrogant look probably makes him look down on her.

"Okay, I'll find time to record it." Qin Chuan nodded and agreed, and then said, "Sister Jin, didn't you say there was news about The Return of the Condor Heroes? What's the situation now?"

This is the purpose of his trip.

Although her boss chair was occupied by Qin Chuan, Jin Lian did not urge him, but just pulled a chair and sat opposite him.

"The internal casting has begun. From what I know, at least a dozen second-tier male artists are vying for the role of Yang Guo."

"There are many people who are more famous and famous than you."

"Some voluntarily reduced their pay, some simply didn't want any pay, and some even brought money into the crew."

Just when Qin Chuan was having a headache, Jin Lian continued, "The most amazing thing is that someone has already jumped to an investment company."

What a roll!
Qin Chuan thought that domestic entertainment would only become popular in a decade or so, but he didn't expect that it would be popular across all eras.

Nowadays, artistes are more aggressive than each other in their fight to compete for roles.

Jinlian looked at Qin Chuan's sad face with amusement. This boy refused to pursue a career in music.

Now I know how difficult it is to be an actor.

"I have submitted your resume and information. Mr. Cai and Director Li have also been communicating with Zhang Jizhong."

"They have the goods in hand now and are not in a hurry at all. It seems that they can't avoid a trial play."

"But you still have to be mentally prepared. After all, you are the leading male character. Sometimes good acting skills may not necessarily lead to the role. There are a lot of social situations involved."

"I understand!" Qin Chuan's brows relaxed.

If I can succeed, I will succeed. If I can’t, forget it. At worst, I can waste this year and then compete seriously next time, win the championship of Avenue of Stars. It wouldn’t be bad to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.

After staying with Jinlian for a while, when Qin Chuan was about to leave, Jinlian said, "I think your personal makeup artist is pretty good."

"Ask her if she's interested in becoming your permanent assistant and getting a higher salary."

Qin Chuan stood up and said, "I won't get involved in this matter. I'll give you her contact information, and you can talk to her yourself."

"Okay, I'll do it myself."

evening.

The sound of a ghost-like motorcycle was heard downstairs in Qinchuan.

A minute later, Wang Tingting, wearing a belly-baring short-sleeved shirt, a denim skirt, and long braids, came upstairs holding a helmet.

Pushing open the half-open security door, Qin Chuan was lying on the sofa watching TV.

I was watching Detective Di Renjie.

"Why don't you close the door?"

Qin Chuan said without turning his head: "I just got up and opened it."

"Oh, you knew I was coming." Wang Tingting put the helmet on the coffee table familiarly, patted Qin Chuan's butt, and told him to stop standing and move.

Qin Chuan put his feet away to make room for Wang Tingting.

"I know, about the assistant thing, right? Did you agree or not?"

"No, I said I'll think about it."

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment and looked at her: "What do you think?"

Wang Tingting lifted her long white legs, swayed on her toes and said, "If you take the company's money, you have to obey the company's discipline. There are a few more leaders above my head, which is annoying."

"Here's what I'm thinking. Why don't you just hire me as your assistant and I'll become your permanent employee."

There were not many choices before her, except to work for Qin Chuan or for the company.

The former is better, it is free.

The latter is hard to say.

"What the hell is there to learn from me?" Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "I personally suggest that you listen to Sister Jin."

"The assistant she mentioned is different from the one you understand. The most you can do now is to help me buy plane tickets and serve me tea and water."

"Even if you stay with me forever, I will still buy plane tickets and serve tea and water."

"As an employee of the company, Jinlian will assign you tasks. You will receive notices in advance to facilitate your travel arrangements. You will also have opportunities to contact third parties during work. They will show me the venue in advance, discuss matters, communicate precautions, and confirm whether the contract is fulfilled in accordance with the treatment in the contract..."

I'm just a makeup artist and will never have access to the artist's business secrets.

It is even more useless to be Qin Chuan's personal assistant. Jinlian will not let her handle many things, nor will she let her know about them.

Unlike the assistant assigned by the company, she will help share some of Qin Chuan's work.

"Ah, so I should agree to Sister Jin?"

"Yes, start as an assistant. Once you are familiar with the artist's workflow, it is possible for you to be promoted to a manager's assistant and then become a manager."

"This dream is too big. I'd rather be your assistant. When you become rich, I'll be your secretary."

Wang Tingting looked into the room after she finished speaking: "Are Brother Bo and Sister Xiaoou not here?"

Qin Chuan was not surprised: "He goes out for a few days every week, saying he's on a date and should be back later." Wang Tingting looked strange and leaned closer to ask: "Does he always go out after dinner and stay away for two or three hours?"

“They also brought their ID cards!”

"I don't know that, how do you know?"

Wang Tingting laughed and said, "I saw them entering the hotel when I just came here."

"You are such a grown-up, but you have no sense of propriety at all. You just lie on the sofa after dinner every night."

"Can't you just go out for a walk, just wander around, and come back around eleven or twelve?"

Qin Chuan nodded seriously. He hadn't expected this. No wonder Huang Bo kept saying he wanted to move out.

"I will try my best."

"I'm leaving, see you later!"

Grabbing an orange from the coffee table, Wang Tingting went out wearing her helmet and twisting her hips.

After a few minutes, the sound of the motorcycle downstairs faded away.

During the time that Qin Chuan was resting, the Avenue of Stars was still in full swing.

During this month, the Phoenix Legend group won weekly and monthly championships and successfully obtained a ticket to the finals.

In the last month, Li Yugang also entered CCTV.

……

In October, Qin Chuan finally received the audition notice for The Return of the Condor Heroes.

The location is in Peking, close to my home, not far away.

The audition was for the male lead, and it wasn't an open casting. Plus, the auditions were conducted in batches, so not many people showed up.

When Qin Chuan arrived at the place, he saw two people.

One is Huang Xiaoming, and the other is Nie Yuan.

Coincidentally, Qin Chuan has seen their plays.

The Emperor of Han Dynasty 2, Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The Emperor of Han Dynasty 2 is quite unpopular and is not as popular as the first part. However, Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties is okay, with many stars and a large cast, and Nie Yuan is a little popular.

"Hello, Brother Xiao Ming, I'm actor Qin Chuan, please take care of me."

"I've heard a lot about you." Huang Xiaoming smiled and shook hands with Qin Chuan.

Putting aside his works in film and television dramas, Qin Chuan has been extremely popular recently and has been killing it on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Who doesn't know him now?

"Brother Nie, long time no see."

"Long time no see, why did you go to sing?"

"I have nothing to do, so I just play around."

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very friendly. If you didn't know them, you would have thought they were old friends.

In fact, it was the first time Qin Chuan met Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan are a little bit familiar with each other. They were both artists of Huayi and were brothers from the same school.

However, Nie Yuan recently changed jobs and signed a contract with one of the investors of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

While they were chatting, Yu Ming, Zhao Jian and Zhang Jizhong were all in the audition room next door.

In front of the three of them were the information of Qin Chuan, Huang Xiaoming, and Nie Yuan, as well as photos from past costume dramas.

With his hands folded over his chest, Zhang Da Huzi asked, "What do you two think?"

Zhao Jian spoke first: "I think Xiao Ming and Nie Yuan are a bit too old."

Yu Ming's eyelids twitched wildly. What a guy, he came up and stabbed two people to death with one stick. Is it so obvious that he is taking sides?

You might as well just say that Qin Chuan will play the male lead.

Zhang Jizhong stroked his beard and said, "They are not too big. One is from 1977 and the other is from 1978. It is barely acceptable."

Huang Xiaoming is 28 years old and Nie Yuan is 27 years old.

With a little makeup, she looks no different from someone in her early twenties.

Yu Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "I think Nie Yuan's cheeks are a bit wide, not as good-looking as Qin Chuan and Huang Xiaoming."

Zhang Jizhong closed his eyes and said, "I said this when Nie Yuan's name was reported. He went back and shaved his cheeks. Now they are not wide anymore."

Damn, what a ruthless person.

Zhao Jian and Yu Ming were amazed.

"Since the appearance is fine, let's look at the popularity. Let's rule out Huang Xiaoming first." Zhao Jian defeated another one: "The remaining one can be chosen between Qin Chuan and Nie Yuan."

Although there were many people auditioning, everyone knew that, if nothing unexpected happened, the leading male role would be chosen from these three.

Huang Xiaoming is the least popular. His representative works are The Emperor of Han Dynasty and My Fair Princess III, one of which he played the leading role and the other as a supporting role. He also acted in many other miscellaneous dramas, but not many of them were popular.

Nie Yuan is the most famous and has basically played the leading role in recent years, such as Marrying the Wrong Man, The World's Granary, The Ferghana Horse, The Four Young Masters of the Capital, Judge Bao, The Long Song of Zhenguan, The Heroines of the Han Dynasty, and Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Among the three, Qin Chuan has filmed the fewest movies, but his quality is high, especially the movie Kung Fu, which grossed 800 million yuan worldwide.

A Chinese Ghost Story is also good.

There is also a big production "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to be broadcast soon.

It's a fine line.

His popularity was also greatly boosted by music, with five consecutive songs causing a stir in the music scene.

He also won the monthly championship on Star Boulevard, and it looks like there is no doubt that he will win the overall championship, and he will even be able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

The most important thing is that he is young, only twenty-one years old, and this youthfulness is something that Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan do not have.

Zhao Jian recommended Qin Chuan one after another, and Zhang Jizhong felt something was wrong: "Old Zhao, this Qin Chuan is your relative, why do you think so highly of him?"

Zhao Jian smiled bitterly: "I wish I had such a relative. This guy played You Tanzhi in the Tianlong crew before. I have had contact with him. He is a very good young man with excellent character and quality."

"Beijing Opera martial artists can ride horses, fight, and perform lines very well."

Yu Ming recalled Qin Chuan and said: "He is indeed a good actor. I remember him as someone who can endure hardships, is hardworking and has great talent."

Seeing that his right-hand men praised Qin Chuan so much, Zhang Jizhong's heart slowly wavered.

Who doesn’t like an actor with good character, high talent and hard work?

"Call him in to chat first."

"Call who?"

"Qinchuan!"
