Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 188 Writing a Script

After several contacts, Qin Chuan had a more or less understanding of Chen Jianbing. Although he was a bit of a straight man, he was actually quite easy to get along with.

Sun Li and her colleagues have the most contact with Uncle Si at work. When it comes to work, Chen Jianbing is indeed very strict and methodical, and doesn't like to joke around.

Filming is boring to begin with, and it is a bit uncomfortable to meet someone who is not fun.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Sun Li did not listen to Qin Chuan's explanation. She had already made up her mind about what Chen Jianbing was like.

A good partner, but definitely not a good friend.

I don’t know what Qin Chuan’s train of thought is. He can actually drink tea and play chess with Chen Jianbing. He is so young but he acts like an old man.

"Hey, your Deng Chao is here." Qin Chuan glanced at Deng Chao who was holding a bouquet of flowers in the distance: "I won't disturb your reunion. We can talk again when we have time."

He was not an actor from the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", so it was inappropriate for him to come over to visit. If Deng Chao saw him chatting with his girlfriend, he would definitely eat him up.

Those who don’t know would think that I am pursuing Sun Li.

This boy Deng Chao is extremely tough when it comes to relationships.

As an artist of Huayi, he dared to quarrel with Feng Xiaogang, confront him head-on, and argue with him.

When filming Assembly, he would take leave every now and then to go see Sun Li, which made Little Gangpao very angry.

During the movie promotion period, he was often absent, saying that he had no time.

Then he appeared at the press conference of another drama.

A slap in the face to the little steel cannon.

"Why are you running? Are you hiding something?" Sun Li teased Qin Chuan from behind.

As soon as Qin Chuan left, Deng Chao came over and asked, "Who was that just now? You were talking and laughing."

"Qin Chuan from the crew next door often comes to visit."

"Qin Chuan?" Deng Chao narrowed his eyes.

"Are you jealous?" Sun Li asked with a smile.

"No, why would I be jealous?"

As an actor, I often have to shoot movies and be away from home for months, which means I rarely get to spend time with my family.

My girlfriend is an actress, and my boyfriend is also an actor, so we spend less time together.

So he came to see Sun Li whenever he had time, but he didn't expect to run into Qin Chuan.

For some reason, Deng Chao felt a sense of crisis.

Who doesn’t like a young, handsome, talented and rich guy?

Sun Li has known Deng Chao for a long time, and she can tell what he is thinking just by looking at his expression and listening to his tone.

"He came to chat with Chen Jianbing. He has a girlfriend who works in the next group."

Deng Chao smiled brightly: "Why are you telling me this? I'm not interested."

It turns out he was looking for his old gang member, as long as he wasn't looking for his girlfriend.

Fortunately, I have a partner and am not single.

"By the way, Qin Chuan's relationship is very secretive, and there is no news from the outside world."

Sun Li said calmly, "What's so secretive about that? I'm in the group next to theirs, and we've only been filming for two months. I already know everything."

"He didn't hide it from anyone at all."

"It's just that usually everyone focuses on his talent, and few people pay attention to his love life."

The biggest news about Qin Chuan is his songs.

As for romance and stuff, to be honest, in this era, paparazzi and the media don’t really care about these things.

Everyone thinks it is normal for actors to fall in love and get married.

If you count the artists in the circle, there are quite a few who are openly together. There are so many that it is nothing strange.

Deng Chao said indifferently: "Really?"

Time flies, and it’s already July.

In the third month after the filming of Startling by Each Step began, Qin Chuan finished filming.

If he hadn't spent some time with Liu Sisi, he could have finished filming at least half a month earlier.

On the day of wrapping, the crew held a wrap party for him, and all the main actors and directors in the crew came to congratulate him.

The scene was completely different from when the other princes finished filming.

When Lin Gengxin and his team finished filming, there was not a single commotion, not even a bouquet of flowers was received, and they even took a taxi to the airport.

"Brother Chuan, you've worked hard during this period. Go back and have a good rest. I'll come to play with you after I finish filming."

"Don't drink the wine, have some tea."

Liu Sisi snatched Qin Chuan's wine glass and put it on the table, then poured him some tea again.

This drama was the most comfortable one she had filmed since she entered the industry.

She and Qin Chuan had the most rival scenes. From beginning to end, Qin Chuan always accommodated and tolerated her. He would reshoot her when she made mistakes and never got angry no matter how many NGs she had.

When I have free time, I help her rehearse, read scripts, and analyze characters' personalities.

Because of Qin Chuan, other people in the crew were very polite to her and did not make things difficult for her.

After several years in the industry, this is the first time I’ve enjoyed the treatment of a leading actress. Before, I was badly scolded when filming in other crews.

Qin Chuan took a sip from the teacup, smacked his lips and said, "After I go back, I plan to write a movie script and do the preliminary preparations. I will start filming in the winter. If you have time to come by then, I will leave the heroine role to you."

Liu Sisi said in surprise: "Since you called me, I will definitely come. I promised you to wait for me."

This is why Qin Chuan likes Liu Sisi. She basically never asks about what he does, never opposes him, and always analyzes the pros and cons and persuades him not to do it.

If ordinary people heard that he was writing scripts and wanted to make movies, they would definitely advise him not to do it, saying that he would lose money.

At the very least, I asked him if he had found a director and how to attract investment... After all the analysis, it was all useless.

Liu Sisi’s way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people. Her first reaction was that she was asked to act, and the two of them could work together again.

So, sometimes when looking for a partner, appearance and personality are secondary.

It’s the same for both men and women. Either find someone who is equally matched with you, with whom you can cooperate for mutual benefit, and make progress and rise together.

Or find someone who is obedient, has fewer worries, and has a harmonious family.

Qin Chuan calculated and said, "You still have one month to finish filming here, and then you will go to Weird Hero Iljimae in September, and it will probably be finished by the end of the year."

"My filming will also start at the end of the year, so it's just in time. But you will be a little tired, after all, you have to shoot three movies in a row."

Liu Sisi made an OK gesture and said with a smile, "It's a small problem. Many actors want to shoot but can't."

"Tell me, what kind of play is your new play and what role do I play in it?"

"It's a comedy, a road movie. You play my wife, but you don't have many scenes, just two or three."

“What is a road movie?”

Qin Chuan popularized the meaning of the movie "road" to Liu Sisi.

The protagonist leaves the starting point and moves towards a certain goal. In the process, a series of things happen that allow the protagonist to grow...

"This is a male-dominated movie, and women don't have many roles, so even though you are the female lead, you don't have many scenes."

"Hehe, it's okay. You have to arrange more scenes for me. I can't keep up. I'm tired after filming three or two scenes in a row."

"Just now you said that many actors wanted to film but couldn't."

"Silly boy, I just said that casually to comfort you."

……

In July, Qin Chuan returned to Peking alone.

The RV, driver, and assistant Xiao Zhao were all temporarily left to Liu Sisi.

It was the height of summer and she was busy filming over there. She needed to return to Beijing to rest for a few months and wouldn't be able to use the RV, so she might as well give it to her.

As it turned out, if the agent had not intentionally revealed his whereabouts, there would not have been a large crowd of fans holding banners to greet him at the airport.

After arriving at the designated location, Qin Chuan got in the car that came to pick him up and went straight home.

After resting for two or three days, I started writing the biography of the new movie.

Lost on Journey!
Qin Chuan wrote four big words on the notebook.

This is the play he will shoot next.

Since no one asked him to be the leading actor, he wrote the script himself, formed his own team, and filmed the movie himself.

"The Spring Festival is approaching, and the boss of the toy group, Li Chenggong, returns to Changsha to celebrate the New Year. At the same time, under the pressure of his lover Manni, he plans to divorce his wife after the New Year."

"As a result, after meeting Niu Geng, a 'senior' milker who was going to Changsha to collect debts, bad luck continued."

"As fate would have it, Niu Geng met Li Chenggong unexpectedly along the way. The two encountered many embarrassing situations on the road, and encountered all kinds of people and strange things, which made Li Chenggong embarrassed and his noble image was gone. However, Niu Geng did not care and was optimistic and positive."

"In order to get home, the two traveled together. They changed various modes of transportation on the way home, such as planes, trains, buses, ferries, trucks, and even tractors. However, the two still spent New Year's Eve in the wilderness..."

Qin Chuan first wrote an outline, and then began to write Li Chenggong's character card according to his memories from another time and space.

Name: Li Chenggong
Age: 32 Height: 1.83 meters

In order to suit his own conditions, Qin Chuan changed Li Chenggong's age to thirty-two.

In his early thirties, it is the golden age for men. He has money, strength and energy.

For those who get married early, it happens to be the seven-year itch.

With money in hand and facing the colorful world outside, it is inevitable to have other ideas.

This age is younger than Li Chenggong in the original movie, but there is no way. With Qin Chuan's ability, he can't play a middle-aged man in his forties.

The main reason is that the characters don’t look like the real characters after they appear on stage, which easily distracts the audience.

"My name is Li Chenggong. I am the boss of a toy factory. I earn several million yuan a year and have a wife who I have been married to for seven years... What no one knows is that I have a mistress at the factory. She is young, beautiful and has a good figure. I like her very much. We have been secretly together for half a year..."

Qin Chuan wrote a biography of the character with great eloquence and three to four thousand words in one breath.

After standing up to stretch his muscles and drinking a cup of coffee, he continued to work at his desk, expanding the story and enriching it with details.

After a day, three or four thousand words became ten thousand words.

Putting down the paper and pen, Qin Chuan took a shower, ate, and lay down to sleep.

The next day, after getting enough rest, he put on the Nuo instruments and began to sleep.

This time, his role is Li Chenggong.

Half an hour later, Qin Chuan woke up from the bed and rubbed his eyebrows. Nuo has the function of deduction, enriching the details and making it more complete.

During this half hour, he had already been in the dream for two or three months.

There are sex scenes every now and then, making love with the mistress, unlocking various postures and maps.

After lighting a cigarette, Qin Chuan got up and sat down in the study, continuing to enrich the biography of Li Chenggong based on the memories in his dream.

For the next week, Qin Chuan repeated the same thing every day.

After completing the biography of Li Chenggong, he began to prepare the story of the migrant worker Niu Geng, which follows the same plot as Li Chenggong.

The heat of August.

The weather did not get cooler at all, but became even hotter. Qin Chuan was almost roasted in Peking, so he usually did not go out unless necessary.

At home, I wear a vest, turn on the air conditioner, and stay in the study to write scripts and draw scripts. Based on the pictures in my mind, I write down the props and scenes I need.

“Didi, welcome home.”

That day, Qin Chuan was still working in the study and the door of his house was open.

Jinlian put away the door card, put her bag on the cabinet at the entrance, put on her slippers skillfully, and shouted into the house:

"Is Qin Chuan here?"

In the study, Qin Chuan said nothing and continued writing the script.

When Jinlian saw him, she said, "Why didn't you answer when I called you?"

Qin Chuan raised his head and curled his lips and said, "You are talking nonsense, you don't know whether I am at home or not."

He didn't draw the curtains, so Jinlian could use the telescope to see him wandering around the house.

She usually does this.

"Cough cough." Jinlian coughed unnaturally.

Of course she knew Qin Chuan was at home. She called out when she entered the door because she was worried that Qin Chuan was doing something else, so she just wanted to report it in advance.

But I didn't expect that this kid would not play by the rules and would hide and keep silent.

"I just got off work from the company. Have you eaten anything?"

Qin Chuan said: "The vegetables are in the refrigerator, you can just pick a few dishes, I am not picky about food."

Jinlian smiled: "You are still ordering me around. I haven't even eaten yet."

Having said that, she still went into the kitchen, put on an apron, and simply fried a few side dishes.

After finishing, he put the dishes on the table and called Qin Chuan to eat.

The two of them chatted while eating.

“Are you writing a song?”

"No, it's a script I wrote, a movie script, a comedy." Knowing that Jinlian would ask in detail, Qin Chuan spoke out the key points all at once.

No wonder Qin Chuan turned down all commercial performances after he came back. It turned out that Jin Lian couldn’t handle tinkering with this thing anymore.

"Can I see it?"

"Okay, just don't mess up the order of my manuscripts."

Qin Chuan chewed slowly, his mind was focused on eating.

He does what he should do when it is time to do it. This is his advantage. He eats when he eats, sleeps when he sleeps, and works when he works. He will not think about work while eating or think about One Piece while sleeping with a girl.

In the study, Jinlian sat in the seat where Qin Chuan had sat before, picked up the script written by Qin Chuan, and read it carefully page by page.

Half an hour later, Qin Chuan had finished eating and was sipping tea on the balcony, while Jin Lian was still watching.

Half an hour later, Qin Chuan finished his rest and returned to his study.

"Have you finished reading? I have to go to work."

"You wrote it?" Jinlian looked up and asked in disbelief.

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes: "Did you write this?"

"No, how come you have such a powerful brain?" Jinlian raised her butt and gave up her seat.

"Don't say anything complimenting me. If you have something to say, just say it now. After you're done, clean up the dishes."

“How much money do you plan to invest in this play?”

"Fifteen million should be enough."

It's a low-budget movie that doesn't cost much money, and he doesn't plan to ask for any remuneration for his own movie. It would just be a transfer from one hand to the other and a way to pay less tax. It's unnecessary.

"Have you found an investor?" Jinlian asked again.

"I haven't found one yet." Qin Chuan looked at her: "And this is what you, as a producer, should do."

“When did I become a producer?”

"Now."

Jinlian: “…”

Wow, she became a producer in just one meal.

Getting one salary and doing two jobs.

Suddenly, Jinlian saw Qin Chuan standing still and asked curiously, "Why don't you sit down?"

Qin Chuan said calmly: "Wait for the chair to cool down for a while. My family said that you can't sit on a hot stool. If you have hemorrhoids, it will be contagious."

Jinlian's face turned black: "I'm not telling you, I don't have any."

Qin Chuan shrugged: "How would I know? I didn't see it."

"How about I show you."

"Please respect yourself!"

Jinlian still left Qinchuan's house. Before leaving, she looked at the telescope in the living room, which was the same model as hers.

The clarity is very high.

When I got closer, I saw that it was right opposite her bedroom.

"Is this, fighting poison with poison?"

Jinlian's old face turned red.

I didn’t suffer any loss, did I?

"boom!"

In the study, Qin Chuan heard the door closing.

In less than two seconds, the door opened again, and Jinlian shouted, "Huang Bo's Bullfight will be released next month, remember to attend the premiere."

"Got it!" Qin Chuan responded.

Bullfighting was the first batch of movies invested by Qinchao Entertainment. In order to get Huang Bo the leading male role, he invested eight million.

You know, the total budget of this movie is only 12 million.

It’s been so long, I didn’t expect it would be premiered soon.

Qin Chuan has already started looking forward to it.

It’s not that I’m looking forward to the box office. This movie is a black comedy, it’s neither commercial nor artistic, so it’s destined not to have high box office.

But the reputation will be very good.

In another memory of time and space, Huang Bo won his first Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with this drama.
