Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 72 Phoenix Legend
"Don't worry, I will definitely send you to Zhou Xingchi."

After a long time, Jinlian put away the file bag and placed it solemnly in the drawer in front of her.

Looking at Qin Chuan again, I find he looks more and more pleasing to the eye.

This time she had struck gold.

"Sorry to bother you, I'll go back first."

Qin Chuan was about to leave after saying this.

Jinlian stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. Even if you successfully submit your resume, there is still some time before the audition. It will take at least two or three months before you leave the stage."

"What are you going to do during this time?"

Qin Chuan replied: "What else can I do? I can just read a book at home."

In fact, he is quite busy. He usually consolidates his skills as a martial artist, trains his voice, studies roles, and watches movies.

Baoqiang has come back, and I want to go wash his feet with him.

Liu Shishi also asked him to play together.

The schedule is very tight.

Jinlian said gently: "If you have financial difficulties, I will allow you to sing in the business hall during this period."

"Don't worry, the contract you signed for not performing commercially for the time being has been kept with me. No one will know unless I tell them."

Qin Chuan has considerable musical attainments and is fairly well-known in the folk music circle.

It was a hot time in Gulou and It's Good Once, and he must be feeling bad for not being able to make money.

I had to pay out of my own pocket for shooting the MV, renting equipment, and all the expenses. I don’t know how much savings I have left and whether it’s enough to live on.

"Thank you, Sister Jin."

Qin Chuan didn't think about it, but Jinlian had said it, so it would be a waste for him not to go.

In the evening, it’s still the Golden Age Ballroom.

Qin Chuan returns to this stage after a long absence.

He started singing with a guitar hanging around his neck.

"You said you loved someone you shouldn't love"

"Your heart is full of scars"

“You said you made a mistake you shouldn’t have made.”

“My heart is full of regret”

Qin Chuan only had two songs, and it was boring to sing them over and over again. It was tiring even for him to listen to them. Now that he was no longer a novice on stage, he would intersperse some other singers' songs in between.

When it comes to livening up the crowd, this song "When Awakening from a Dream" is the best.

Just look at the concerts of 500 people in later generations and you will know. During the concerts, his hair was always wet with sweat and never dried. After a concert, his voice became hoarse.

After singing the dream and waking up, Wubai’s hair never got wet again.

Of course, there were also artists who failed in pretending to be cool. They started by singing the 500th song, but no one sang along and everyone asked for a refund.

Qin Chuan is not a big singer, so of course he doesn't dare to do this, but from time to time, he will hand the microphone to the audience below.

Fortunately, he is quite famous in Houhai, and many young people are very fond of his style and cooperate with him.

The singers and the audience interacted with each other and had a lot of fun.

The happiest person off the stage was Liu Shishi. It was her first time in a dance hall.

She had never been here before. According to her teachers and parents, this place was full of monsters and goblins, so she didn't dare to come.

That was why she came today because Qin Chuan said he would take her to see where he worked.

In addition to the two of them, Wang Baoqiang also came.

Sitting in the booth, Baoqiang was wearing round-frame glasses, a mustache, and a leather jacket that he got from somewhere.

Now he holds a cigarette in one hand and takes a sip of wine from time to time.

When Qin Chuan saw him dressed like this, he almost called out Brother Shu's name.

On the second floor of the dance hall, in the corridor, Linghua looked at the lively scene below and said in surprise: "Can songs be sung like this?"

Zeng Yi was still the bald man, dressed like a gangster. He said seriously, "It depends on the person. His stage presence has gradually matured."

"If he had more opportunities to perform on big stages, he would be a fully mature professional singer with commercial value."

Qin Chuan could sing before, but he had no stage experience and basically stood there without moving.

I sang a song from beginning to end and would not change it even if I was exhausted.

It’s much better now. I know how to interact with the audience when they are enthusiastic. I also know how to move around and I have found the rhythm of singing on stage.

If Zeng Yi didn't know that he had only sung this song a few times, he would have thought that he was a professional singer who had debuted for a few years.

"This young man is amazing." Linghua sighed. Zeng Yi agreed: "Who says he isn't? He has two masterpieces at such a young age. He has a bright future. But we are not bad either."

Linghua said: "Lao Zeng, I don't want to hide it from you, a record company wants to sign me."

Zeng Yi felt very disappointed: "When are we leaving?"

"I want to ask your opinion."

"What can I say? People always strive for higher goals. I wish you safe journey. Don't worry about me. I am the music director here after all. My life is so comfortable. I eat spicy food and drink spicy drinks every day. I don't want to live too comfortably. I won't leave no matter how hard you try to persuade me."

Linghua looked at him and said, "I see. I told them that if they want to sign, they want to sign us two. Since you don't want to go, forget it."

"No, I'll go, I'll go."

“Aren’t you the music director?”

"What a shitty director. He's treated like a grandson by his boss in meetings every day. I don't want to work here anymore."

"So you don't want to eat spicy food or drink spicy food?"

"The boss is a rude person. The meal allowance is just that little money. Every day, he lets me order the spicy hot pot sold by his sister-in-law. It's so spicy that I almost vomit."

Linghua laughed out loud: "When we get there, we won't be able to use the name Cool Fire anymore. Do you know what the new name is?"

"what is it call?"

"Phoenix Legend."

"Not bad, better than Cool Fire."

……

After singing the song, it was already late, so Qin Chuan took a taxi to send Liu Shishi home first, and then went to wash her feet with Baoqiang.

Having won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, Baoqiang is now full of energy and walks with a flourish.

Everything is ready, except for the director to come and invite him to come out.

Then he will become famous overnight and reach the peak of his life.

However, this shot has not been fired for ten days or half a month.

Instead, he asked Qin Chuan to wash his feet and ended up going broke.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and said to Qin Chuan: "Brother, I heard from a friend that there is a job at the Beijing Film Studio. I'll go take a look tomorrow and hire you later."

The next day, Baoqiang appeared on the set after a long absence.

Just like before, serving as a substitute for being beaten.

After being kicked into the ditch several times, tears couldn't help but flow.

"Little brother, are you okay? Where does it hurt?"

"It's okay. I'm not hurt. It's just that the wind and sand are so strong that they're blinding me."

He couldn't understand why he was still the same even though he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer.

So, even if a salted fish turns over, is it still a salted fish?

"Hey, why did you let him be a stand-in, director? This is the best newcomer at this year's Golden Horse Awards."

Someone in the crowd recognized Baoqiang.

"You're just bragging. How can you be here if you won the Golden Horse Award?"

"Why would I lie to you? I saw the news and it was really him."

"Oh my god, that's true."

"Brother, don't lie down, get up quickly, we need a special performance today."

Baoqiang didn't expect the turnaround to come so quickly and he became famous all of a sudden.

He didn't even react when he changed into the special costume.

After the filming was over, he wanted to find the person who won him the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, but he couldn't find him anymore.

In the next few days, news spread that a Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer had emerged among the extras in Beijing.

More and more people know Wang Baoqiang.

Some reporters and media also contacted Wang Baoqiang for interviews.

In the rental house, Qin Chuan looked at his wallet which had emptied again, and felt a slight pain in his heart.

It was he who hired some internet trolls to promote Baoqiang. It cost him several thousand dollars and it was a small contribution to advancing the wheel of history.

But the phone call from Jinlian that followed was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly filling him with strength.

"Hello, Qin Chuan."

"Prepare for a kung fu test."
