Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 165 Touching Feelings from Lao Hu

When Chen Kexin learned that Qin Chuan wanted to ask for leave, she was even more excited than he was and approved it without saying a word.

He also told him to have a good rest and adjust his condition before returning to filming, and that the crew didn't need to rush and could take it slow.

There’s no way, Chen Kexin is also afraid of being filmed.

He saw the shadow of a person in Qin Chuan.

Zhang Guorong.

He was really afraid that Qin Chuan would get depressed while filming and finally find a tall building to jump off.

By then, the impact on the play will be too great.

At night, Shanghai, People’s Hospital.

Qin Chuan came to visit Hu Ge with a flower basket. He was still asking the nurse at the counter about the specific ward when he saw Cai Yinong.

"Mr. Cai."

"Qin Chuan, why are you here?"

Cai Yinong was a little surprised that Qin Chuan appeared here. As far as she knew, the relationship between these two people was not that close.

Hu Ge just woke up for a short while before someone came over.

"Come and have a look, to show your concern for your friend. Mr. Cai, which ward is Lao Hu in?"

"It's the third one on the left." After pointing the way to Qin Chuan, Cai Yinong said, "Qin Chuan, don't rush back after visiting. I'll treat you to a meal. We haven't talked for a long time."

Qin Chuan got straight to the point and asked, "Boss Cai, is this about The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

Hu Ge is currently filming this movie. He doesn’t know the exact progress, but after such a big incident, he will definitely not be able to go back for a year or two.

This play has an investment of tens of millions, it is impossible for it to be delayed like this.

Cai Yinong sighed and nodded helplessly: "I asked the doctor, Xiao Hu will need at least a year to recover. After recovery, he will have to face psychological trauma. I don't know how long it will take to adjust to his condition."

"Xiaochuan, the company needs you right now, so don't give up."

The Legend of the Condor Heroes is just a small matter. Several of the company’s plans for next year revolve around Hu Ge.

He is now seriously injured and disfigured, and I don’t know how much he can recover.

We can only place our hopes on Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly and said, "Boss Cai, I'll go see Hu Ge first, we'll talk about this later."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

When Qin Chuan arrived at Hu Ge’s ward, he saw him.

One of Hugo's legs was hung in the air in a plaster cast, his upper body was wrapped in bandages, and his head and face were wrapped several times, leaving only his nose, mouth and one eye exposed.

"No need to get up, just lie down." Qin Chuan placed the flowers on the bedside, pulled a chair over and sat down: "I'm glad you're okay."

Hu Ge nodded. He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. He had no strength in his body.

When I woke up, I found out that the driver was gone.

He was indeed lucky to have survived, but the injuries on his body and the numbness on his face made him extremely uneasy.

An actor relies on his looks to make a living, and he might have to retire this time.

Thinking of this, I felt very bad and became quite depressed.

In the ward, another girl poured water for Qin Chuan: "Teacher Qin Chuan, drink some water."

Qin Chuan picked up the water cup and chuckled, "You are Hu Ge's girlfriend, right? This boy is so lucky."

The girl introduced herself: "My name is Xue Jianing."

"I've got it." Nodding, Qin Chuan said to Hu Ge, "I just met Mr. Cai, and he told me about The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Xue Jianing opened her mouth, trying to stop him from continuing.

After something like this happened, it was expected that the crew would replace the cast. Saying this at this juncture is like rubbing salt into Hu Ge's wounds.

Qin Chuan raised his hand, signaling Xue Jianing not to say anything more, and continued: "Don't worry, I won't play your role."

"Leave Mr. Cai to me. I will help you keep The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

"I've asked the doctor about your situation. If you recover well, there won't be any damage to your face. There will just be a few small scars at the corners of your eyes, but it's not a big problem."

Hugo's dull eyes lit up: "Thank you, thank you."

"You're welcome." Qin Chuan said lightly: "To be honest, it's me who delayed you. If I hadn't been blocking you in front, you would have been the number one sugar man."

Hugo shook his head.

There is no such saying in the entertainment industry.

In the acting industry, acting skills and popularity are king. If someone is more popular than you and has better acting skills than you, he or she will naturally get more resources than you.

There is nothing to say about this.

Besides, if Qin Chuan hadn’t helped him, he wouldn’t have been able to perform Fairy from the Other World, Young Generals of the Yang Clan, and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

I don't even have time to express gratitude, so how can I blame you?

"But I won't be at Tangren for long. You should have heard that I will leave when my contract expires."

"You should recover quickly. When you recover, you will be the real sugar man."

Qin Chuan took a sip of water and said to himself, "As for you, don't worry too much. Even if Tangren doesn't want you, you can come to my company and continue to be an actor. I can't say anything else, but you will always have a job."

Hugo was speechless and was so moved that tears came to his eyes.

The gap between people is really huge.

Cai Yinong came to see him and asked about his condition, whether his appearance could be restored, how long it would take him to go back to film, etc.

It was nice to say it to his face, telling him to have a good rest as there would be plenty of scenes to shoot later.

As a result, when I went out, I told Qin Chuan about the male lead of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Qin Chuan is his good buddy and benefactor. He helped him save The Legend of the Condor Heroes as soon as he entered the company. He also said that even if Tang Ren didn't want him, he would take him to the new company to film together.

"Brother Chuan, I owe you...thanks."

"Since I came in, I've heard you say thank you several times. We're all family, so you're welcome."

Patting Hu Ge's shoulder gently, Qin Chuan stood up and looked at Xue Jianing, then took out his cell phone from his pocket: "Sister-in-law, leave me your phone number. If Hu Ge needs anything, just let me know."

"Thank you, Teacher Qin."

"It's too formal, call me brother."

Hu Ge raised his hand, about to speak, but Qin Chuan pressed it down: "Just don't move."

Hu Ge: "..."

What he wanted to say was that Xue Jianing was a few years older than Qin Chuan, so she should be called sister.

And it seems that I am one year older than Qin Chuan.

Why is she my brother's wife?

"No need to see me off. I'm leaving now. Mr. Cai has invited me to dinner." Qin Chuan said firmly, "Don't worry. I will help you save The Legend of the Condor Heroes no matter what I say today. Wait for my good news later."

Cai Yinong booked a restaurant and was waiting for Qin Chuan.

Ten minutes later, the two met again.

First they reminisced about the past, then talked about Hu Ge's illness, and finally talked about Hu Ge's follow-up arrangements.

"I asked the doctor, even if I have plastic surgery, my appearance will never return to its original state, and there will definitely be scars left."

"He definitely can't shoot The Legend of the Condor Heroes. You should come over and take over. It just so happens that your Warlords are about to wrap up."

"There's another mythological TV series next year, and it was originally scheduled to star Hu Ge, so I'll give it to you as well."

Qin Chuan took out a cigarette and lit it, then said calmly, "Just now in the ward, I promised Hu Ge that I would help him keep Legend of the Condor Heroes."

"To turn around and snatch his role away, isn't that a breach of trust?"

Cai Yinong sneered: "How can this be considered robbing? This is a company play. We can give it to anyone we want. It is not anyone's private property."

She was also telling Qin Chuan that the play is yours only if the company gives it to you. If the company doesn't give it to you, neither you nor Hu Ge will have a share.

Help Hu Ge secure a role? Do you have the power to do so?
"Boss Cai, if you insist on taking away Lao Hu's role, I won't accept Shen Hua anymore." "Are you..."

Cai Yinong wondered if he was mentally ill, as he didn't want the leading role in two movies for free.

"A bit too impulsive?"

Qin Chuan leaned back in his chair and said, "No, I am not impulsive. I will do what I promised. I hope that Mr. Cai can seriously consider my suggestion and pass The Legend of the Condor Heroes to Hu Ge."

The filming of this drama is halfway done. It would be a waste of time to let him continue.

And he doesn't like the play The Legend of the Condor Heroes either.

From the 1980s to the present, The Legend of the Condor Heroes has been remade into many versions, but none of them is better than the 1983 version.

After the 1983 edition, each film is worse than the last.

This version of Sugar Man is just passable, average, and not a hit.

For him, acting in this play was a complete waste of time.

Cai Yinong gently pinched her brows and said, "Qin Chuan, it's very difficult for me to deal with you like this."

With an investment of tens of millions, Hu Ge had to wait for a year for no reason. He not only had to explain this to the company, but also to the investors.

Hu Ge’s status is not worthy.

Qin Chuan is worthy, but this guy doesn't want to act.

"Boss Cai, is there really no other way?"

"No, not that I don't have it." Cai Yinong looked up at Qin Chuan and said, "I can keep The Legend of the Condor Heroes for Hu Ge, but you have to take Mythology."

Qin Chuan had an awkward expression: "To be honest, I am preparing to transform and enter the film industry. I don't really want to take on TV dramas."

"Tianyu has also arranged a movie for me next year, and my schedule is very tight."

Just this year alone, the usually lazy Qin Chuan made two movies in a row. Cai Yinong really understands his yearning for movies.

In the entertainment industry’s contempt chain, movie stars are greater than TV drama stars, TV drama stars are greater than sketch stars, and sketch stars are greater than variety show stars.

Although they can act in movies, few people are willing to act in TV series.

Cai Yinong was also so angry that she laughed: "You are in trouble, and so am I. It's impossible for the company to keep The Legend of the Condor Heroes for Hu Ge just because of your words. I give you face, but will the investors and shareholders give you face?"

She almost said, who do you think you are?

Qin Chuan smoked silently, and after a while he said, "I can postpone the movie schedule next year, but if I do, my plans for the second half of next year will also be disrupted."

"So what?" Cai Yinong asked, shaking a half-full glass of red wine.

She knew that Qin Chuan wanted compensation.

"I want Myth and The Legend of Sword and Fairy III packaged together for me."

Among all the dramas featuring Sugar Man, only The Legend of Sword and Fairy III can catch Qin Chuan's eye.

The Chinese Paladin series is Tangren’s peak, both films have a rating of above 9.0, and both are huge hits.

Cai Yinong frowned: "You have quite an appetite."

The project of "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" has not started yet. The preliminary preparations will only be carried out next year, and the earliest filming will start is the year after next.

At that time, Qin Chuan's contract was about to expire.

If Qin Chuan is willing to renew his contract, this drama will definitely be given to him. After all, there is the foreshadowing of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, and with him starring in it, the ratings will not be bad.

But Qin Chuan wants to run away as soon as his contract expires, and he's not even given a shit.

According to Cai Yinong's plan, The Legend of Sword and Fairy III was intended to be used to promote Hu Ge.

But now that Hu Ge has fallen, it is still unknown how much his appearance can be restored. It is difficult for him to play the role of The Return of the Condor Heroes, let alone The Legend of Sword and Fairy III.

But Cai Yinong felt a little uncomfortable handing over The Legend of Sword and Fairy III like this.

Qin Chuan took all the advantage.

Qin Chuan said helplessly: "Boss Cai, you can't let me help you for nothing, I have postponed my movie schedule."

Cai Yinong didn't say anything. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I can give it to you, but you know the purpose of our company. All the money is spent on production. Your salary may be..."

Except Qin Chuan, there is no one else in Tangren who can fight.

If Qin Chuan doesn't play the roles in The Myth and The Legend of Sword and Fairy III, we really can't find anyone else to play them.

If Hu Ge had not come up with this matter, Cai Yinong would have spit in Qin Chuan's face if he dared to propose such conditions.

At this point, I can only get some benefits in terms of film pay.

Qin Chuan's worth is not low. He is a popular first-tier singer and a popular second-tier TV actor. He has co-starred with Fan Binbin and Li Lianjie in his two latest movies.

If he takes on a TV drama now, the price will be at least several million. When "Apple" and "The Warlords" are released next year, Qin Chuan's TV drama pay will increase by another one or two million.

"Don't worry, it's a friendship price, we're just friends." Qin Chuan was generous at this moment, and said with a smile: "I act in the company's play, the company gives me a living, how can I make it difficult for the company."

Nowadays, the bulk of actors’ income comes mainly from advertising endorsements, followed by film remuneration.

The friendship price for two consecutive plays was a big loss for Qin Chuan, because based on his understanding of the company, he definitely couldn't pay much money.

But he cannot take all the good things in the world. If he is forced further, although Cai Yinong will most likely let him play the role, he will definitely offend him.

We are all in the same circle, and we will see each other every day. Even if we cannot become partners, there is no need to become enemies.

Cai Yinong sighed: "Oh, it would be great if you always had this awareness. I really admire you."

Qin Chuan raised his glass and said seriously, "Boss Cai, there will always be opportunities for cooperation. If you need me in the future, just let me know. I will definitely help you if I can."

Help where you can, and don’t help where you can’t. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Cai Yinong smiled bitterly and clinked glasses with him: "You are still good at talking."

Qin Chuan signed a contract with Tianyu Media. His popularity is unstoppable. Within three to five years, he will definitely be at the top of the entertainment industry.

Sugar Man has no ability to ban him, he can only make friends with him.

Keep some friendship for the sake of friendship, maybe it will come in handy if Qin Chuan really needs your help in the future.

After three rounds of drinks, Qin Chuan left Cai Yinong and came to the hospital again.

I also packed a few dishes.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, right? I just came from Mr. Cai's place and brought you some dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste, so just eat whatever you want."

"Thank you, Brother Qin. Sorry for bothering you."

"You're welcome with just a little effort."

Qin Chuan handed the lunch box to Xue Jianing and sat down beside Hu Ge's bed: "I have already discussed it with Mr. Cai. The Legend of the Condor Heroes will be passed to you. You can rest assured now, right?"

Hu Ge couldn't hold back his tears.

He originally thought that his acting career was over, but Qin Chuan's arrival brought him hope.

He didn't know what Qin Chuan and Cai Yinong talked about or what deal they made, but from the smell of alcohol on Qin Chuan's body, he knew that he had drunk a lot in the more than one hour since he disappeared.

He already had an image in his mind of Qin Chuan toasting and begging people to help him keep The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

"Why are you crying, man?" Qin Chuan took two tissues from the bedside and wiped Hu Ge's tears. He stood up and said with a smile, "I took a leave of absence and came here temporarily. The crew is busy, so I won't come tomorrow."

"I'll come see you later when I'm not busy!"

"Let's go, goodbye!"

Qin Chuan came and left in a hurry.

The total time spent in the ward on both occasions was less than twenty minutes, but what was done and what was said were of great significance to Hu Ge.

Even Xue Jianing said: "Qin Chuan is a good person. When you get better, you must repay him well."

Hugo nodded heavily.

Connecting the two favors, he owes too much. If Qin Chuan really needs him in the future, he will do whatever he says.

He has no objection even if he is asked to change jobs.

Brother Chuan is one of us.
