Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 28 Foot Washing Diary
After a good meal, Huang Bo wiped his mouth and asked casually, "How do you plan to spend the money you have?"

"Keep some for emergencies and use the rest for daily expenses."

Of the 80,000 yuan, 20,000 was sent back home and used to buy gifts for Huang Bo and others, so the remaining amount was not much.

It is said that housing prices in Beijing were cheap in the early 2000s, at just over 3,000 yuan per square meter, but for people of that era it was still expensive, with housing prices even higher than wages.

Qin Chuan can’t buy a house or a car with this little money, so he doesn’t have to spend it. He should just stop being stingy since he already has a lot of money.

Huang Bo nodded and said meaningfully: "It's fine as long as you have a plan. Just don't spend money on wine and women, or wash your feet and get a massage."

Qin Chuan laughed dryly: "That's impossible, I'm not that kind of person."

Huang Bo said: "But I heard from Lao Gao that you went to wash your feet a lot when you were on the set?"

Qin Chuan did not deny it: "I asked someone else to go. You know the ways of the world. Also, I have a lot of fighting scenes. I am either bruised or purple after a day. I need to find a place to massage, relax my muscles and blood circulation, and feel better. Otherwise, I won't be able to get out of bed the next day."

As a martial arts film, bumps and bruises are inevitable.

Sometimes he could control his own hands, but he could not control others. He would get punched here and kicked there. It was common for people to fall to the ground if the wire was released too quickly or pulled off track.

After get off work, I soak my feet in a foot bath shop, use essential oils to massage my back, and I feel much better after that.

Huang Bo was originally going to scold Qin Chuan, but after hearing this, he changed his tone to: "Thank you for your hard work. Pay more attention to safety in the future."

It’s not easy to get a film salary of 80,000 yuan.

This guy said it so nonchalantly, but I'm afraid only the people involved know the hardship involved.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention." Qin Chuan patted his chest and said, "Young people are in good health. Now I have recovered almost completely."

Huang Bo had classes in the afternoon, so he returned to school after lunch.

Qin Chuan called Baoqiang for the first time and asked him to meet in the evening.

At 8pm, Hong Kong Zun Shui Hui.

Baoqiang, who had just returned from the construction site, followed Qin Chuan in the club, feeling a little restrained.

The place wasn't high-end, but it was his first time here and he was used to living in financial difficulties.

At this moment, I feel three parts nervousness, five parts excitement, and two parts anticipation.

He was holding the watch gift box that Qin Chuan had given him, and his palms were sweaty.

"Brother Chuan, we won't be caught, right?" Wang Baoqiang asked cautiously.

He didn't want to go on TV, ask his parents to go to the police station to rescue him, and then be discussed by the village aunts and uncles.

Qin Chuan smiled: "Don't worry, this is a regular place, the massage techniques are very good, and they are all professional."

The four strongest bonds between men: studying together, carrying guns together, taking bribes together, visiting prostitutes together... and washing feet together.

Due to the conditions, Qin Chuan could not go through the previous items with Baoqiang. He could only do trivial things like washing feet and giving massages, which could deepen their relationship.

"Brother Chuan, I feel like you have changed."

"Then let's go?"

"Forget it, I'm here now." As if he felt that he was too direct, Bao Qiang hesitantly explained: "I read in a book that an actor must have experience and a life, so that he can make good works."

"I'll only come this once, I won't come next time."

Hearing this reason, Qin Chuan suppressed his laughter: "Actually, I didn't really want to come. It's mainly because I was injured while filming and haven't fully recovered yet. Chinese medicine says that regular massage will help you recover faster."

"Really, brother? Then we have to press it for a while longer." At this moment, Baoqiang's eyes were still sincere.

The two of them changed into slippers at the front desk, received hand cards, and went to the public bathroom upstairs to take a shower and change into bathrobes.

There were two beds in the room. As soon as they lay down, two beautiful technicians in short skirts carrying small boxes knocked on the door and came in.

The technician closed the door, dimmed the lights skillfully, and drew the curtains.

One clock is seventy-five minutes.

More than an hour later, Qin Chuan and Bao Qiang walked out of the club refreshed and ate skewers at a roadside stall again.

"Brother, you are such a nice person." Wang Baoqiang said sincerely while eating the skewers.

He left home at the age of six to learn martial arts in Shaolin Temple. When he was in his teens, he entered society. He had seen a lot of intrigues and deceptions. The word "friend" in Chinese means two strings of money.

It would be good if the friends you meet when you go out don’t cheat you, but they will definitely not help you.

Last month, one of his extras roommates went back to his hometown. They usually had a good relationship with each other, but on the day before he left, one of his friends took advantage of his absence and turned his bedding upside down, stealing more than 100 yuan from him.

Qin Chuan was different. He bravely helped him fight and was very good to him. When he made money, he took him to wash his feet and gave him a watch. He didn't despise him at all.

Where can I find this quality?
It is said that people from Shandong are righteous, and the reputation is well-deserved.

Qin Chuan, who was hungry from the massage, ate a bunch of skewers and mumbled, "We are just brothers, let's not talk about this."

"Yes." Baoqiang nodded heavily and took note of the favor.

After the two of them left, Baoqiang returned to his rental house and took out his diary to write.

This is a recent habit.

He has little education, a low cultural level, and a heavy accent. When he was filming Blind Shaft, the director gave him a script, but he didn't recognize many words, which made him lose face.

Someone told him that reading newspapers and writing diaries when he had nothing to do could help him practice his spoken English and improve his ability to express himself.

"May 17, 2002. Sunny weather."

"Qin Chuan came back from Dali today and gave me a watch. This is the first time someone has given me a gift.

"He also asked me to wash his feet. This was my first time, so I was very nervous."

……

"May 20, 2002, sunny."

"Brother Chuan asked me to wash his feet again today. He said his body was not fully recovered and needed a massage."

"The second time I had my feet washed, I felt much more relaxed. My body felt so relaxed after the massage."

……

"June 1, 2002. Overcast weather."

"It's still Hong Kong Zun Shui Hui. Brother Chuan is treating. I ordered the technician from last time. Her name is Xiao Mei."

“I seem to have found the meaning of making money.”

……

"It was June 7, 2002, and the weather was fine.

"I will take the college entrance examination tomorrow, but I am not nervous at all because I am not taking it."

"Brother Chuan has asked me to wash his feet three times. Today, I have to ask him to wash his feet once, otherwise I will feel guilty."

"It cost 180 yuan, and I feel a little sad."

"Xiaomei said her father was a gambler, her mother was sick, and her brother was studying. She was so pitiful."

……

"2002, June 12, light rain."

"This is the second time I asked Brother Chuan to come. Xiaomei was so pitiful. I ordered an extra hour to help her."

"She told me not to come here again and to save money and not spend it recklessly."

……

"June 20, 2002. Overcast weather."

"I came alone this time because my savings are only enough for one person and I don't have enough money to treat Brother Chuan."

"Xiao Mei cried and said her father was seriously ill. I felt sorry for her and lent her two hundred yuan."

“I feel like I’ve fallen.”

……

"June 23, 2002. Sunny."

"Brother Chuan is treating us today."

"The manager said Xiaomei resigned."

"Fuck, I seem to have been cheated of my money. My heart hurts so much. My friend, why did she cheat on me?"

"Brother Chuan asked me why I was crying, and I said I missed home."

"I will never wash my feet again, they are all liars!"
