Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 159: Start-up, a Match Made in Heaven

The filming location of Apple was in Beijing. Since it was a modern urban drama, there were no set pieces or ancient costumes, which made it a lot more convenient.

In order to finish the filming as soon as possible, Qin Chuan arrived at the crew early.

Suburbs of Peking.

The rental house in a small alley is about ten square meters, cramped and small.

When Qin Chuan arrived, Li Yu was directing people to set up the scene.

"Qin Chuan is here?"

“Come here in advance to see the living environment.”

In the movie, this is your own home. If you are not familiar with your own home, then something big will happen.

Li Yu said: "Just take a look, feel free to tell me if you have any suggestions."

She is different from other directors. Many big directors treat actors as props and strictly implement their own ideas.

She is different. She likes to draw a framework and let the actors perform as they please as long as their performances do not go beyond this framework.

"The cupboards are too new, and the space is too clean and tidy, with no traces of life." Qin Chuan stated his opinion in a serious manner: "When I first moved to Beijing, I also lived in a small house. There was no place to put pots and pans. There was no extra space in the house, and everything was being used."

Qin Chuan opened the cupboard and took out the iron pot and placed it on the table: "This won't be stolen. It takes up space in the cupboard."

"It's convenient to put salt and soy sauce on the countertop for cooking, but oil must be placed in the cupboard, otherwise there will be cockroaches."

"Put a few nails on the wall and hang some dishwashing and hand towels."

After visiting the kitchen, Qin Chuan lifted the curtain and went to the bathroom next door: "Aren't they living together as a couple in the movie? There has to be a sanitary bin. Girls sometimes have their periods, and there is a place to put the hair they lose when they comb their hair."

"Apple is a foot-washing girl, so she's inevitably a little more concerned about her image. Bring shampoo, facial cleanser, and shower gel. Bring a few more towels, put a black one in there for the male lead, and a manual razor as well."

"I didn't expect you to be so good at living." Li Yu said with a smile.

"We are all ordinary people, how can we not know how to live?" After looking at the kitchen and bathroom, Qin Chuan looked at the living room again: "It's still a bit empty. I suggest you find a rental house nearby where young people live, buy some folding tables and small stools..."

After walking around the room, Qin Chuan also lay down on the bed to experience different sleeping positions and angles.

The next day, Fan Binbin joined the crew and was the first to arrive at the filming location.

After entering the house and seeing the renovated house, she said with satisfaction: "I didn't expect it to have such a strong sense of life. Sister Li, you are really good at it."

If there weren't cameras around, she would have thought this was just a rental house for ordinary migrant workers in Beijing.

Li Yu said: "Many of these are suggestions given by Qin Chuan. You can also take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be improved."

Fan Binbin looked around and said after a while, "Except for the addition of a water heater, everything else is similar to what I remember about the environment in Beijing."

"But considering the different eras, it's normal to have a water heater."

Even though she is not very old, she has been in the industry for ten years. These ten years are not the kind of ten years that Qin Chuan can just say, but rather the real ten years.

I went out into the society at the age of sixteen and experienced all kinds of hardships. My early living environment was not very good either. It was even worse than this.

It was only after "My Fair Princess" became famous that she gradually escaped from the lower class life, lived in a big house, drove a luxury car, ate delicious food, and drank spicy drinks.

Having been away from the lower class for too long, she does not understand ordinary life as thoroughly as Qin Chuan.

Seeing Fan Binbin walk into the room and try out the bed, Li Yu folded her arms across her chest, leaned against the wall and said, "You have the same idea as Qin Chuan. He came here yesterday and rolled around on the bed a few times."

"Really? It seems like great minds think alike." Picking up her bag, Fan Binbin stood up and said, "Sister Li, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Please do me a favor and get together with Qin Chuan."

"no problem."

There are four main actors in this play, Qin Chuan, Fan Binbin, Liang Jiahui, and Jin Yanling.

She and Qin Chuan are husband and wife, and Liang Jiahui and Jin Yanling are husband and wife.

However, Liang Jiahui and Jin Yanling have not arrived at the crew yet, so they can only greet Qin Chuan and Li Yu first to meet and get to know each other.

In the evening, Jinlian still served as Qin Chuan's driver and took him to the banquet, saying that Qin Chuan was bound to drink and it was inconvenient for him to drive alone.

She does her job as an assistant very competently.

In the hotel private room, Qin Chuan met Fan Binbin in real life for the first time. Her appearance and figure were indeed impeccable. In terms of public aesthetics, there are not many female stars in the entertainment industry who are more beautiful than her.

The main thing is that she has not had any plastic surgery, so her facial features look very natural.

The two shook hands and exchanged greetings.

"Sister Binbin, it's a pleasure to work with you. I used to watch your plays on TV."

"What a coincidence. I'm also very happy to work with you. Usually I can only listen to your songs through headphones."

"Don't be polite, both of you. Please sit down." Li Yu invited the two to sit down and acted as a middleman, constantly bringing up topics and chatting with the two.

Fan Binbin has been in the entertainment industry for ten years and has a lot of experience. He knows a lot about the ways of the world and is not introverted at all when chatting. He never lets words fall by the wayside.

Qin Chuan had memories from two lives and his experience was no less than those two. He would chat with them from time to time, making the two girls laugh and they gradually became part of the group.

After the meal, Qin Chuan and Fan Binbin exchanged phone numbers and talked about their experiences in Beijing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Apple's pay was low, and since it was an art film, the box office was destined not to be very high. Both of them acted in this film for the award.

Naturally, we hope to get along well with each other and cooperate happily.

In the evening, after returning to his residence, Qin Chuan took out a notebook from the drawer and began to write a biography of the male lead, An Kun, while referring to the script.

Speaking of Apple's plot, it's also a bit explosive.

Liu Pingguo and her husband An Kun are both migrant workers who came to Beijing from other places.

The woman worked as a foot washer in a foot spa, and the man was a window washer working at a height. Once, the owner of the foot spa, Lin Dong, took advantage of Ping Guo being drunk and assaulted her, and this situation happened to be seen by An Kun who was washing the windows.

Through the glass, Lin Dong performed a Minotaur plot.

After the incident, An Kun returned home and had a conflict with Ping Guo. After a while of venting, the two decided to ask for an explanation. An Kun went to Lin Dong to bargain for a price and compensate for his losses, while Ping Guo wanted a job and did not want Lin Dong to fire him.

Lin Dong was unwilling to pay 20,000 yuan as he thought it was too expensive.

What kind of cannon costs 20,000 per shot?

So An Kun pestered him every day, removing the car logo and tying the tires with ropes.

Lin Dong's wife was neglected by her husband because of her infertility. After knowing this, she planned to take revenge on Lin Dong and took the initiative to have sex with An Kun, on the grounds that she wanted to make her husband a cuckold as well.

The final result was that An Kun and Lin Dong each slept with each other's wife.

In Lin Dong's words, everyone is even.

As a result, Apple became pregnant, but she didn't know whose child it was.

The two sides discussed it again. The child was Lin Dong's, Lin Dong would pay the money, and the child was An Kun's, so no one owed anyone anything.

In order to get the money, An Kun did something shady and went to the hospital to change the paternity test...

……

Three days later, after the arrival of Tony Leung Ka Fai and Jin Yanling, the Apple crew started filming.

The first scene was shot with Qin Chuan and Fan Binbin.

At night, Apple, who got off work, simply tied her hair into a ponytail with a rubber band, slung a cheap bag across her body, and went upstairs with a small bag of food in her hand.

Going up the stairs, greeting neighbors, opening the door... her brisk footsteps, the songs she hummed, all showed that she was in a good mood.

Because the client she massaged during the day gave her a tip of a hundred dollars.

The price was that she was attacked on the breast and taken advantage of.

But she didn't care. In a place like that, it was inevitable to be taken advantage of. As long as the customer didn't go too far, she could accept it.

The camera followed Fan Binbin all the way from downstairs to the house without a single cut.

Pushing open the door, Qin Chuan was shirtless, sitting at a folding table eating.

When Fan Binbin pushed the door open, he was stunned for a moment.

Judging from the half bowl of rice left and the few dishes, Qin Chuan had been eating for a while.

If she had been two minutes later, she would have finished eating.

Fortunately, they are all veteran actors. She put the bag of food she brought on the table and said happily, "Take it and eat it."

She naturally put her hands on Qin Chuan's shoulders and bent down to take off her high heels.

As soon as she put on her slippers, Apple reached out to take a dumpling from the plate and put it into her mouth, eating heartily. While eating, she hung her bag on the wall and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't come to Jinpen to find me in the future. If the boss knows that I'm married, I'm finished, do you know?"

Jinpen, this is the name of the foot bath shop.

The screenwriter also comes up with names.

Sitting on a small bench, Qin Chuan was eating, shrugging his shoulders, and said vaguely: "I didn't go."

"What did you mean you didn't go? You were right at the door. I saw you."

Qin Chuan picked up a dumpling for her with chopsticks: "Take a bite."

Fan Binbin lowered his head to eat the dumplings, feeling a little choked, and picked up the small stainless steel bowl of soup on the table and drank from it.

The two little bites are full of life.

Downstairs, in front of the monitor, Li Yu was very satisfied.

Before filming began, Qin Chuan and Fan Binbin only rehearsed their lines without rehearsing their scenes. They discussed a few lines before starting the performance.

Both of them are Jianghu actors who have not received any systematic acting training. Their performances tend to be lifelike and unconventional.

Fan Binbin went upstairs and hummed a few songs with light steps. As soon as he entered the door, he brought food to his husband An Kun. He intimately supported his arm to help him change his shoes, and ate the dumplings he handed to him without any disgust.

Every move is completely in line with the style of a young couple from an ordinary family.

Qin Chuan’s performance was also not bad. He started eating before Fan Binbin came in. He let his wife change her shoes and put away her bag by herself without moving at all the time.

After being caught lurking in a foot massage parlor, he was vague and denied it, and immediately fed vegetables to Apple to divert his attention.

After changing his shoes and putting down his bag, Apple, who was tired after a day's work, took some tissues and went to the toilet. His eyes were filled with lust.

According to the script, the two will soon have their first intimate scene.

In the room, Qin Chuan had put down his bowl and chopsticks and started to take off his clothes.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

Li Yu called a halt.

She planned to shoot this intimate scene last.

She was worried that Qin Chuan and Fan Binbin would not be able to handle the passionate love between a couple in love. After all, they had just known each other for a few days and were not familiar with each other.

It would be terrible if the man was awkward, the woman was shy, and both sides couldn't let go.
