Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 138 Qin Chuan Became Hu Ge’s Nightmare

Jinlian laughed: "This is the first time I see someone who takes charge of the crew."

Qin Chuan didn't explain: "Sister Jin's visit this time should not be just to visit the set."

"Well, firstly, I want to see how you are doing. This is the longest drama you have filmed, and I am worried that you might have problems with your mentality and that you are not used to life there."

"Secondly, I want to talk to you about a few things."

Qin Chuan pulled a chair for Jin Lian to sit on and poured her some tea: "Sit down and talk slowly."

Then he called to Wang Tingting, "Sister Tingting, go to the car and get a plate of snacks and fruits."

While drinking tea and eating snacks, Jinlian said, "I now believe that you really take charge of this place."

These days, except for the lack of entertainment activities, are indeed comfortable.

Qin Chuan laughed dryly: "Life always has to have a purpose."

He enjoys himself as much as possible as long as it does not affect others.

The RV is now equipped with a sound system, so we can invite a few actors to sing karaoke together when we have nothing to do.

After eating a piece of dessert, Jinlian patted the residue on her hands, drank a sip of tea, and then said: "The first thing is to help you sign up for a few music awards."

"Almost every song of yours has a prize, big or small. If you don't mind the trouble, you can take every prize home."

Qin Chuan shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have the time, just take the biggest prizes."

"That's Chengdu, Chi Ling, the new imperial concubine is drunk, one award will delay you for a day, including the round trip, you need to take at least five days off."

"No problem, I'll coordinate with the director."

The Return of the Condor Heroes has now come to an end, most of the scenes have been filmed, and the actors are finishing up filming one after another.

He doesn't have scenes every day, sometimes only one or two scenes a day.

It’s no big deal to take a few days off. Just work overtime when you come back or before you leave.

"The second thing is, you may not know it because you shoot movies every day, but after the Spring Festival Gala, there will be a lot of advertising endorsements for you, and you will be overwhelmed."

"After screening, the company has selected six endorsements. You will start shooting commercials right after you finish filming. The duration will be about half a month..."

"Wait." Qin Chuan interrupted Jin Lian and said, "Let me ask you what category she is endorsing."

"Spicy noodles, ice cream, milk tea, glasses... the best thing is shampoo."

Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Spicy noodles, ice cream, and milk tea are not allowed. I don't want these three things."

Jinlian frowned, puzzled, "Why? You haven't endorsed these before, so it's totally fine for you to accept them now. Even though the items are small, the price is very high."

"It's not about the money. It's better to be cautious about import endorsements. Our company doesn't have the conditions to check the other party's qualifications and quality. To be on the safe side, I simply won't accept it."

He knows very well what virtues represent this era.

Not to mention second- and third-tier artists, even first-tier artists and superstar-level artists, when accepting endorsements, many of them only care about the money rather than the quality of the product.

I accepted an endorsement today, and there are many factories that will go bankrupt in two months.

Some were closed down by the Market Supervision Bureau, some were poorly managed, and some were reported.

For example, big brother Cheng Long, how many of his endorsements went bankrupt?

Forget about other things, Qin Chuan really didn't dare to take anything imported.

He would feel guilty if the common people suffered from the food they ate.

You won't starve to death if you earn a little less.

Jinlian looked at him and asked seriously, "Really not going to answer it?"

Qin Chuan was very determined: "No!"

Qin Chuan and Qian had a grudge, and Jin Lian had no choice but to sigh helplessly: "Okay, if you don't want to answer it, then don't answer it. I'll communicate with the company."

"Move on to the next thing. Your schedule for the second half of the year has been announced. Two dramas."

"One is a play of our company, Young Generals of the Yang Family, and you play the male lead."

"The other one is a TV series called Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, shot in the form of a unit drama, with a total of six units. You play the role of Ning Caichen in the unit of A Chinese Ghost Story."

"Although Liao Zhai is a unit drama, it has many big names, almost an all-star cast, so it is foreseeable that the exposure rate will be quite high."

Tangren is a relatively young company and its previous model was to rely mainly on artists from Hong Kong Island, supplemented by its own artists, so the company does not have many famous artists.

The company has begun to transform itself in the past two years, focusing its energy and resources on its own artists.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy, A Chinese Ghost Story TV series, Kung Fu, Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, Qin Chuan has proved his strength and commercial value with ratings, box office and trophies.

So the company is going to invest in him now.

These two plays are about sincerity.

There may be another male lead role waiting for him early next year.

Qin Chuan scratched his head, thinking about how to refuse tactfully. He knew these two dramas. The ratings were not bad, but not high either. They were the type that could be filmed or not.

You can take pictures or not, just don’t take pictures.

But if I refuse, wouldn’t it be a bit offensive and obvious that I’m being rebellious?

"Sister Jin, thank the company for me. I will seriously consider it."

Qin Chuan did not refuse in person. Now was not the time to be tough. He would just put himself in an awkward position and get hurt.

The company can't let me go filming with an injury.

Jinlian breathed a sigh of relief: "Seeing you think about it for so long, I thought you were going to do something stupid again."

"No, I'm not stupid. I was just thinking about how to arrange my schedule."

"Don't worry, I will adjust it for you." Jinlian smiled and said, "After discussing the official business, let's talk about personal matters."

"Your house was renovated at the end of February, and the furniture and appliances were delivered last month. You can move into your new house as soon as you finish filming this drama."

Qin Chuan's filming will probably be wrapped up in May.

At that time, the house had been aired for three months, and that was about enough.

"Sister Jin, thank you for your help."

"It's a small matter. It's no trouble. Just remember to call me on the day of moving. I'll warm the room for you."

"I wouldn't dare not call you if I didn't call anyone else. We'll be neighbors from now on. Come visit me often if you have nothing to do."

"must."

After staying for a while, Jinlian left and went to the headquarters in Shanghai to report to Cai Yinong that Qin Chuan had turned down the endorsement.

"Boss Cai, I also think what Qin Chuan said makes sense. We have finally come this far, and our reputation cannot be ruined."

"The risk of food failure is too high. We can't go to other factories to check the production lines. Even if we can go down, what we see may not be true."

Cai Yinong's face was uncertain, and after a while he said, "Just reject it. It's a pity that these guys are offering a lot of money."

"Young General Yang, what does Liao Zhai say?"

"He had no objection and asked me to thank you."

Cai Yinong chuckled: "Of course he has no objection. The Yang Family gave him the leading male role, and Liao Zhai has an all-star cast. Others can't play the role even if they want to."

If Qin Chuan refused both of these plays, she would have to doubt his mental state.

Jinlian's smile did not diminish: "Who said it wasn't?"

In fact, she could feel that Qin Chuan was not very willing to take on these two dramas.

Normally, Qin Chuan would not think twice when he saw a script he liked, and would do anything to act in it.

If there are conditions, we should go up. If there are no conditions, we should go up even if we create conditions.

This time, when I heard about the Yang Family Generals and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, I was silent for a long time and didn’t seem to be motivated at all.

May, Shanghai, an old neighborhood.

Hu Ge was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, feeling mixed emotions.

The company had a new project in the second half of the year, and he wanted to play the leading male role. Before he even started competing for it, his superiors gave the word that the role was given to Qin Chuan.

Well, no one is popular, he accepted it.

As a second choice, he set his sights on Ning Caichen from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

The answer was that Qin Chuan would still play the role.

There is Qin Chuan on the left and Qin Chuan on the right. All the company’s resources are given to Qin Chuan.

These little artists can only drink soup.

Hu Ge felt that Qin Chuan was a huge mountain standing in front of him. With Qin Chuan around, it would be difficult for him to have a chance to stand out in the company.

Qin Chuan is simply his nightmare.

"Eat now, don't sleep."

His mother's voice came from outside the room, and Hugo replied, "I'm coming."

In the living room, the family sits at the dining table to eat.

He was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much, just lowered his head and put the food into his mouth.

While eating, my mother said, "You have been idle at home for so long. It's pointless to wait for the show. Have you ever thought about finding a class to take first?"

It has been two years since he started his internship as a senior in college, and he has only played supporting roles in two films and the leading role in one.

After Dandelion fell to the ground, he fell to the ground.

I have no job and no income, and I live entirely on my previous savings.

Now the old capital is almost used up and I will soon have to rely on my parents for support.

Hu Ge shoveled the food into his mouth and said vaguely, "Well, I'll go out and take a look in a few days."

He is not in the company's plays in the second half of the year.

It's really time to consider going to work.

If things remain the same next year, his class may have to change from short-term to long-term.

"Jingle Bell!"

The cell phone in his pocket rang. It was his agent calling. Hu Ge didn't dare to delay. He put down the bowl and walked to the window to answer the call.

"Hey, brother."

"Early next year, the company will have another play, Fairy from the Other World. Really? You must help me get a role."

"Help me get the male lead? Brother, thank you so much. Are you going to a meeting? Okay, you go ahead and let me know if you have any news."

After a series of twists and turns, Hu Ge did not expect the reversal to come so quickly.

Qin Chuan already has two dramas in the second half of the year. It’s impossible to give him another one from Heavenly Fairy, right?
Can you act it out?
The Return of the Condor Heroes, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Young Generals of the Yang Clan, Fairy From the Other World, four dramas are filmed in a row, who can handle this?
Back at the dining table, Hu Ge was in a good mood. He ordered several bowls of rice and ate all the dishes.

Also had a bowl of soup.

Then I sat cross-legged on the sofa and watched TV series.

"Jingle Bell."

My phone rang. It was my agent who was going to a meeting before dinner.

"Brother, any news?"

"The male lead role should still be given to Qin Chuan?"

"Fuck, why!"

Hu Ge felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and the two words Qin Chuan became his nightmare.

All the leading male roles have been given to Qin Chuan, so how can these people stand out?

At this moment, he was envious, jealous and hateful.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Ge was not in the mood to watch TV series. He just lay on the sofa in a daze, feeling heavy-hearted.

"Jingle Bell."

The phone rang again, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

"Hey, who is this? Fuck, I don't buy insurance, get out!"

He was already in a bad mood, and then when an insurance salesman came, he was so angry that he almost caught the insurance salesman and scolded him.

The phone was hung up within a minute.

It rang again, still an unfamiliar number.

"It's endless, isn't it? I don't buy insurance. I don't buy it. You don't understand what I'm saying, right? You're such a fool... Qin Chuan?"
