Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 14 Learning Martial Arts
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finished work.

Today, Qin Chuan played a total of four roles, all of which were extras without lines.

During the breaks, I would take out my notebook and write and draw, recording the interesting characters or people I saw on the set.

When I got back to the hotel, the first thing I did was take a shower, change clothes, and rinse my mouth.

"Xiao Qin, do you have an appointment?" Zhou Haopeng, who had just woken up after finishing work in the middle of the night and sleeping all day, said with a smile.

"Yes, I made an appointment with a friend."

"She's someone the crew knows, a woman?"

"how do you know?"

"Nonsense, you've only been here for two days, going to and from work every day, where else can you meet friends besides the crew?"

Zhou Haopeng rummaged around in the bedside table and within a few seconds he pulled out a package the size of a matchbox, which he stuffed into Qin Chuan's pocket in the blink of an eye.

"Hold it. It's safe."

Qin Chuan took it out and looked at it, feeling a bit amused and helpless: "No, Brother Peng, I'm not that kind of person."

"I understand, but sometimes you have to be responsible for girls. You don't want to be a father at such a young age."

"No need."

"You want to be a scumbag?"

“I don’t want to be one.”

"Then take it."

After forcing it back into Qin Chuan's pocket, Zhou Haopeng said, "Don't feel burdened. This kind of thing is very common in the crew."

"If you like each other, you can be together, solve each other's needs, and break up after the filming is completed."

The shooting period of a play is at least three to four months, and sometimes even half a year.

Actors are also human beings, everyone understands that.

Qin Chuan is handsome and young. There is no shortage of women for such a man in the crew. It is easy for him to pick up girls and it is also easy for girls to pick him up.

Qin Chuan: "..."

It was absolutely true that he had not thought about it that way at all.

When you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. That is what you think about after you are full.

I am extremely poor now and just want to make money. I just want to film more scenes with lines and earn 208 million a day in the future.

However, Zhou Haopeng would not understand this kind of ambition, so it is useless to talk about it.

After getting himself ready, Qin Chuan went downstairs and waited for a few minutes for Wang Tingting to appear.

After all, she is a makeup artist with strong makeup skills. She doesn’t dress up much when she goes to work on weekdays. She just wears jeans, casual shoes, and ties her hair back.

At this moment, her face was delicately made up, her hair was loose, she was wearing a long floral dress that made her look youthful and lively, she was wearing brown high heels, and she was carrying a small bag across her body.

"Wait a long time?"

"No, I just came down."

"I do not believe."

Qin Chuan: "..."

He really just came down.

Why do girls like to hear lies?

With her hands behind her back, Wang Tingting smiled and said, "You're going to treat me to a meal, right? Where is the place? Do you need a taxi?"

"No, it's just a few steps away."

Qin Chuan took Wang Tingting and walked for more than ten minutes until they arrived at a roadside stall.

"This spicy hotpot is good, business is good, so the taste must be good."

I asked before coming here, and it costs only five or six yuan per person to get a full meal.

it's a bargain.

Wang Tingting curled her lips: "Just treat me to this."

"I have no money, so I can only afford this. Boss, two bowls of spicy hot pot."

"Oh." Wang Tingting sighed: "Eat, eat."

Qin Chuan does not look like a rich man. Even if he were rich, he would not have used his skills for free. We are both wanderers in this world.

The two chatted while eating spicy hot pot.

Qin Chuan knew that Wang Tingting was 24 years old and had been working in makeup since she graduated from college. She had been in the industry for two years and had saved some money, making her a wealthy woman.

Wang Tingting also knew that Qin Chuan was only 208 years old, from a poor family, and had just graduated from high school last year. He had never been in a relationship, and his dream was to become a big star with a daily income of million. Half an hour later, Qin Chuan drank the entire bowl, including the soup, and his stomach was finally full.

He wiped his mouth, searched his pockets and was about to pay the bill.

The money and condom were taken out and fell to the ground.

He quickly picked up the condom, hoping that Wang Tingting didn't see it. But when he looked up, their eyes met.

"My roommate's." Qin Chuan explained awkwardly.

"I understand." Wang Tingting nodded with her chin supported. It seemed that Qin Chuan spent all his money on the "handle" of the knife. No wonder he had no money.

“What’s the next project?”

"Let's take a walk to help digest the food." Qin Chuan took Wang Tingting back the same way, and soon they arrived at the entrance of Dujuan Hotel.

"That's all for today. I have to work tomorrow. See you later."

A meal of spicy hot pot almost offsets the cost of a haircut, and you still want to take advantage of him? Impossible.

"No, what does that mean?" Wang Tingting stood in the wind, disheveled.

That's how you treat someone to a meal. Have a bowl of spicy hot pot downstairs and then go your separate ways.

What is the condom used for?

Could it be that I saw it wrong? Was that chewing gum?
Or was it that the young man was too shy to bear the shame and ran away after his purpose was discovered?

"You're back so soon?" Qin Chuan returned to the room. Zhou Haopeng had just finished washing and was changing clothes.

"It's just a spicy hot pot. It won't take much time."

"Malatang? No, did you really eat Malatang?"

"Yes, it's economical, delicious and filling."

"six."

Hearing the words "economical and affordable", Zhou Haopeng seemed to think deeply.

Qin Chuan threw the condom on the other person's bed: "Brother Peng, what are you doing? You are dressed so formally."

"I have an appointment too." Zhou Haopeng adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror and put the bed sheet in his pocket: "I won't be back tonight."

"Why are you going?"

"Let's go eat spicy hot pot."

Laughing, Zhou Haopeng went out.

Downstairs, the person he had an appointment with also arrived. She was a female special actress in the crew.

Taking the girl, he went straight to the spicy hot pot stall, and after eating, he took a taxi to the hotel.

……

In the room, Qin Chuan took out his notebook and looked through the notes he had made today, all of which were about small people.

After watching for a while, he selected two small figures, put on the Nuo costumes, and fell asleep.

Qin Chuan finished his daily homework, but Zhou Haopeng had not returned yet.

It seems that I really won’t be coming back tonight.

Qin Chuan, who was bored, suddenly had an idea and wrote a new biography in his notebook.

The protagonist this time is the childhood Zhou Haopeng.

He practiced martial arts since he was a child, holding a big tripod, doing splits, and practicing boxing. At the age of fourteen, he went on stage to play a martial artist... He wrote more than ten thousand words in a very fluent manner.

Most of it was Zhou Haopeng’s narration during the previous conversation between the two. In one word, bitter.

I was beaten and scolded by my master, got injured while practicing martial arts, sweated and bled, and trained in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.

After writing about Zhou Haopeng's childhood and adding his birth date, Qin Chuan put on the Nuo costumes again.

Why is Zhou Haopeng so successful in the crew and even bought a house eight years after entering the industry?

Because of his solid martial arts skills and his beautiful fighting skills, many film crews are willing to ask him to be a stand-in for the leading actor.

His stand-in is different from Wang Baoqiang's stand-in in the crew.

Wang Baoqiang was mainly responsible for taking beatings in the crew, but Zhou Haopeng was different. He was the one who performed many of the leading actors' fighting moves. He had a lot of scenes and a high salary.

Zhou Haopeng once said that the fighting skills of a martial artist are different from those of a serious martial artist.

Wusheng has a good figure, graceful and beautiful movements, and is very entertaining to watch, making him very suitable for filming of film and television dramas.

After all, their main job is performing on stage.

Those who practice traditional martial arts focus mainly on actual combat, and their moves are too aggressive and not performative in nature because they are not good looking.
