Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 174: Immortal Sword III

In the next few days, Jinlian was on a business trip and Qin Chuan couldn't find her.

It seems like time is running out. Qin Chuan's Legend of Sword and Fairy III project has started, so he has to join the team half a month in advance.

As soon as he left, Jinlian came back from a business trip.

Hengdian, a meeting of the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew.

"Why didn't Yang Mi come?" There were dozens of people in the room. Qin Chuan glanced and found that only the leading actress Yang Mi was missing.

Liu Sisi whispered quietly: "I don't know, she is not from our company, I haven't heard of her."

This drama is a Tangren project, and most of the important roles are played by Tangren actors, such as the male lead Qin Chuan and the female lead Liu Sisi.

This time, Liu Sisi was also carried up by Qin Chuan.

In addition to the two of them, Yuan Hong, an artist who plays Sugar Man, also joined the show.

The female lead is Yang Mi, who has become somewhat famous in the past two years. She is an artist of Rongxingda Company and is under Li Shaohong.

Not only Liu Sisi, most people in the crew were not familiar with him.

This drama follows the same pattern as previous ones, with actors from the mainland and artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan as the main cast.

The second male lead is Huo Jianhua, and the one from Hong Kong is Lam Chi Chung, who previously played the role of Xingzai's childhood friend and the fake Axe Gang boss in a Kung Fu drama.

However, Qin Chuan was not familiar with him because the two had never had any scenes together before.

On the stage, director Li Guoli frowned and glanced at his watch, ready not to wait for Yang Mi.

Just as he was about to speak, the door opened with a bang.

Yang Mi ran in breathlessly: "Sorry, the flight was delayed for a while."

Panting, she looked around, quickly came to sit next to Qin Chuan, her chest heaving, and fanned her white neck with her hands.

The weather in May and June was already hot, and she had run here, almost dying of exhaustion.

Qin Chuan silently pushed the cup of water in front of him over.

"Thank you." Yang Mi picked up the cup and drank the water in a few gulps, then let out a long sigh.

On the stage, Li Guoli was already speaking. Qin Chuan was not in a position to speak, so he just nodded.

The meeting lasted for an hour, during which Li Guoli introduced several new faces from Hong Kong and Taiwan to everyone.

After some greetings, Li Guoli arranged for everyone to go to the next room for a drink and a meal.

The atmosphere finally eased.

Some people came and went with glasses of wine in hand to meet seniors and newcomers, while others just sat there with a lot of people lining up to toast them.

Others are in the corner and no one cares about them.

Qin Chuan's table was always noisy after he sat down. Huo Jianhua, Lin Zhicong, and the assistant director of the crew all came over to toast him.

After finally dealing with all these people, he finally had time to pick up a few dishes with his chopsticks.

At the same table, Yang Mi ate even more rudely than him. After a bowl of rice, she drank half a bowl of soup and leaned back in her chair and said, "I'm finally full."

Qin Chuan asked with a smile: "How many days have you been hungry?"

Yang Mi touched her stomach and sighed, "I'm not that hungry, but I haven't eaten enough in a long time. I'm currently filming Dream of the Red Chamber. It's a closed-door shoot, and it's too painful. I have to read the original novel every day, learn etiquette, control my weight, and speak in semi-classical Chinese. I almost went crazy."

Liu Sisi was surprised: "So bitter?"

Yang Mi's face twisted: "Who said it wasn't? This is simply not a life for human beings."

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Mi, and found that her face was a little different from before.

He thought of a rumor.

It is said that Yang Mi auditioned for the role in Dream of the Red Chamber, but Li Shaohong disliked her square face and did not want her.

Then Yang Mi had four teeth pulled out and slimmed down her face, resulting in her current look.

But legends are always legends and cannot be trusted.

At least Qin Chuan knew that it would take more than a day or two to recover after a tooth extraction, and the crew would not wait for him that long.

Even if you can wait, tooth extraction won't make your face slimmer.

There is only one way to slim your face.

Bone cutting.

That is plastic surgery.

"Why are you staring at me?" Yang Mi noticed Qin Chuan's gaze and asked unnaturally.

"Did you have plastic surgery?" Qin Chuan asked directly.

Yang Mi folded her hands over her chest, tilted her head, and said, "No."

"Then you are different than before."

"Brother, how old was I then? How old am I now? Girls grow fast during puberty, so it's normal for them to change a lot after entering college. Haven't you heard that girls change a lot when they grow up?"

Yang Mi's words are similar to those of most artists who have undergone plastic surgery.

Girls change a lot when they grow up.

Qin Chuan scratched his head: "It's true that girls grow faster, but isn't it true that they grow faster in junior high and high school? How old are you? Are you still growing?"

Girls' rapid development occurs during elementary school and junior high school.

For many girls, how they are after high school basically determines their future.

The saying that going to college is like plastic surgery is actually that in terms of clothing style and temperament, there is not much change in the appearance itself.

Those who become beautiful after entering college were beautiful in high school.

It’s just that high school is too restrictive. They have to wear school uniforms every day, and the school doesn’t allow them to wear makeup or dress up. They all have bangs, high ponytails, or short hair that reaches their shoulders.

After entering college, I started dressing up, got a trendy hairstyle, wore skirts and clothes that suited my style, put on makeup, and looked beautiful.

These are all illusions, the person is still the same person.

If you don’t believe me, just fix your hairstyle, take off your makeup, and put on your school uniform. There is no difference from before.

"What do you care about me?" Yang Mi said stubbornly, "Brother Chuan, when did you become so gossipy? Can't you ask me something nice?"

She didn't want to talk more about this topic.

"By the way, who is this sister?"

She turned the topic to Liu Sisi.

"Liu Sisi, she's from our company and also my girlfriend." Everyone present was from the same circle and there were no paparazzi, so Qin Chuan acknowledged her directly.

When they ate the big melon, everyone at the same table looked at them sideways.

Yang Mi's eyes widened: "When did you have a girlfriend? How come I didn't know?"

"No, how would you know when I had a girlfriend? You live across the street from me, too."

Qin Chuan thought that her temperament was very similar to Jinlian.

Yang Mi pouted: "Brother Chuan, you are so mean. You didn't tell me right away. Oh, our relationship has faded."

As she said this, Yang Mi felt like her heart was about to break.

It’s only been a short while.

She has been busy filming for more than a year and has been under a lot of pressure from her career. In a blink of an eye, Qin Chuan already has a girlfriend.

Then what should I do myself?
However, it is not impossible to score a goal even if there is a goalkeeper.

As long as the hoe is used well, there is no corner that cannot be dug...

On the opposite side, Liu Sisi had already put her arm around Qin Chuan's elbow and was nodding at her with a smile.

The corner is a bit hard! ...

Yang Mi attended a three-day script workshop.

On the fourth day, after rehearsing a line with Liu Sisi, she turned to Qin Chuan who was standing beside Liu Sisi and said:
"Brother Chuan, I have to go out for something this afternoon and won't be back until next week. I've already asked the director for leave."

Qin Chuan's eyelids twitched. He had only been in the group for a few days.

The filming will start in about ten days, and Yang Mi has to take a week off from the crew. What's going on? Will she be able to keep up with the show when she comes back?
Without sufficient preparation time, the play cannot be filmed properly.

"Is there an emergency at home?"

"No." Yang Mi was embarrassed: "I'm filming Dream of the Red Chamber, and it hasn't finished yet."

It turned out to be a play.

Have to run both ways.

Qin Chuan frowned and asked, "How long will it take to finish filming over there?"

"It's hard to say. It will take at least a month at the earliest."

Awesome.

Qin Chuan knew that she was very busy with filming, but he didn't expect her to be so busy. It would take at least more than a month to finish. If it wasn't fast, it would take two or three months.

Can I play the role well with this kind of filming method?
Tangren is also amazing. He dared to let Yang Mi act in such a tight schedule.

"Then your play..."

Yang Mi patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chuan, I won't delay the filming here. I've memorized all the lines."

They have promised not to delay, what else can Qin Chuan say.

We can only wait and see.

With Yang Mi gone, Qin Chuan had a lot of free time, after all, he and Yang Mi had the most rival scenes.

Without one person to act with, it would be strange if I didn't have a lot of free time.

Before the crew started filming, Qin Chuan took some time off, asked for a day off and returned to Beijing to attend the premiere of The Warlords.

The filming of this play was completed in September last year, and it is June now.

Nine months later, post-production was already completed.

With a large-scale production with an investment of several hundred million yuan and an all-star cast, there is no such thing as failing the review, finding a distributor, or not being able to schedule the film.

I heard that the reason why the film was delayed until now was related to the role played by Li Lianjie.

The Warlords has a prototype.

The remake is of the Ma Assassination Case during the Qing Dynasty.

The descendants of the character Pang Qingyun watched the film and were dissatisfied, so they refused to allow it to be released.

It is said to be a smear on our ancestors.

Pang Qingyun was a slave to three families, he stabbed his brother in the back, and seduced his second sister-in-law. Their descendants were considered to have high quality because they did not put Chen Kexin in a sack after watching the movie.

Helplessly, Chen Kexin could only edit the film.

After several cuts, in the end it had nothing to do with the Ma assassination case, so the Ma family finally stopped.

In the cinema, Qin Chuan and Chen Kexin shook hands: "Director Chen, you've worked hard. You've lost weight."

In the cinema, Chen Kexin had shoulder-length hair and wore sunglasses, and it was unclear whether he could see the road clearly.

"Alas, I am a miserable person. Next time, I will not shoot an action movie no matter what. It's too tiring. What are you busy with recently?"

"Filming a fantasy drama."

"Didn't you make a movie?"

“I can’t find the right one.”

Qin Chuan and Chen Kexin exchanged pleasantries for a while, then went to chat with Liu Dehua and Li Lianjie.

This is a large hall. The main creative staff of the crew sit in the first row, and the back rows are all big names in the industry.

At a glance, you can see either the best actor or best actress, or some famous directors.

They all came to show their support, some were friends of Liu Dehua and Li Lianjie, and some were friends of Chen Kexin.

Qin Chuan did not notify his friends to come and support him, so his relatives and friends were not present.

In general crews, the number of celebrities who show up at the premiere usually represents the actor's invisible strength, status, and level.

Fortunately, the crew of The Warlords is relatively harmonious and everyone doesn’t like these things.

Qin Chuan knew that no matter how many people he found, they would definitely not be as many as Liu Dehua and Li Lianjie’s friends, so he simply gave up looking.

The first few rows were filled with artists helping to support the event, and the back rows were filled with media, film critics, and reporters. The entire aisle was filled with people.

Qin Chuan didn’t know how many media outlets had come, probably around seventy or eighty.

Soon, the movie starts.

It is similar to the later version.

It was the first time that Qin Chuan watched the finished film of The Warlords, and he watched it very seriously.

After the crew finished filming, the success or failure of the show had nothing to do with him, so this time, Qin Chuan watched the movie with the mentality of an audience.

The plot is similar to the later "The Warlords".

When Qin Chuan watched it again, he had a different feeling. The lines were well written and Li Lianjie's performance was amazing.

Many people know that he is the Kung Fu Emperor and a martial arts superstar.

But his literary works are ignored.

"We will never fight a battle that we hope to win, and if we fight a battle, it will definitely be a battle that we have no hope of winning."

"If we win, we will have a chance, but it's just a chance."

"You say it's difficult? But if it's not difficult, it won't be your turn at all."

Some of the lines in The Warlords are also very applicable to real life, and people with stories to tell will have mixed feelings when listening to them.

Li Lianjie didn't look back, his eyes were fixed on the big screen.

But he knew that at this moment, many eyes were staring at him.

As he expected, there were indeed many pairs of eyes staring at the back of his head.

No one could have imagined that Li Lianjie's acting skills could be so high and superb. It was definitely a movie emperor-level performance, very impressive.

With just one look and one expression, he portrayed the role of Pang Qingyun to perfection.

Many times, everyone forgot that this was Li Lianjie and became immersed in the story.

Someone once said this: If you call out an actor's real name as soon as he appears in a movie, then this actor is definitely not a good actor.

The face is still the same face, but you can't remember his name. Forgetting his name shows that his acting skills are really superb.

After more than an hour, the movie ended.

Qin Chuan went to dinner with the big guys including Chen Kexin, Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua, and got to know several leaders and CEOs during the meal.

The next day, Qin Chuan returned to the crew of The Legend of Sword and Fairy III.

Last night, the film reviews and reports written overnight by reporters from the media outlets that received red envelopes were also released.

Li Lianjie was the first to be praised to the utmost.

They all say it's good acting.

Several of the reports were about Qin Chuan.
