Chapter 67 New Year's greetings
The third day of the Lunar New Year has just passed, and relatives are visiting the streets and alleys. Qin Chuan didn't want to be idle. He bought a few gifts and prepared to activate his connections.
The first stop was where Jin Lian lived in Peiping, a community with a nice environment.
When Qin Chuan came to the door carrying cosmetics, facial masks, and jade bracelets, Jin Lian took his gifts and pointed to the corner of the window.
"There are a lot of gifts given to me by others. You can pick a few to give away."
"Sister Jin, isn't this good?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Some people don't know how to give gifts. Isn't it funny to give me cigarettes and alcohol as a woman and say I don't need to give them to my dad?"
Qin Chuan wanted to laugh when he heard this. Sometimes giving gifts is also a skill. Giving the wrong gift can easily offend people.
For example, the gifts he gives are either practical, such as facial masks, cosmetics, etc.
Either it’s something flashy and pretty, like a bracelet, but it’s not really expensive, it just looks good.
Which woman wouldn't be happy to see this?
"Then I'm welcome."
Qin Chuan selected two Huazi, two bottles of Taizi, took a look, and a piece of old wild ginseng.
I made a profit this time.
Just as he was about to reach out, Jin Lian coughed from behind.
"Ahem, young people are angry and have strong Qi and blood. Ginseng is not suitable for you. If you eat it, you will get a nosebleed."
With a smile, Qin Chuan took back his hand. He heard that this stuff is good for replenishing the kidneys. He had never tried it, but he wanted to try it.
Men, who thinks it takes too long?
It's just that it's hard for him to handle it in front of Jin Lian.
Sitting on the sofa, Qin Chuan said: "Sister Jin, I guess the scene about me in Tian Long Ba will be broadcast soon. How are the publicity preparations going?"
The Eight Parts of Tian Long is forty episodes, and the scenes about You Tanzhi start from Juxianzhuang, episode fourteen.
More and more people appeared later.
CCTV is broadcasting it every day now. When the time is up, the two unbeatable episodes will be presented. There is no weekend holiday, no advance on-demand, and no membership to watch first. Everything is fair.
"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to find out all the episodes you've appeared in. Once the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is over, the company will promote the song to you."
"Besides, just publicity is not enough. I also made appointments with several media. When the song is released, you will be interviewed on the TV station."
"Sister Jin, it's okay."
This was the first time Qin Chuan saw Jin Lian's business ability. Not to mention, he was very thoughtful and worthy of being the artist director of the branch.
You may consider taking her ashore with you when you become a rebel in the future.
Qin Chuan never thought about working for others.
It's not a joke to still work for others after cheating.
Jin Lian is right when he says that Sugar Man is actually his springboard.
It’s just that it’s not a springboard for music, but a springboard for actors.
Ten years ago, Sugar Man was still very good, and they promoted many artists, such as Hu Ge, Liu Sisi, Nazha, Yuan Hong, Boxer...
In the next seven or eight years, for domestic film and television companies, Sugar Man and Zhouyi will be the two big mountains in the field of costume dramas.
Qin Chuan now has little strength and low reputation. He is a little-known unknown and has no choice but to rely on others.
He needs a backer, resources, connections, and someone to protect him.
If he hadn't had no choice, he would have wanted to be Lu Bu, the one who only stabbed his adoptive father and would change his platform every few years.
"Don't flatter me." Jin Lian poured water for Qin Chuan: "Didn't you say that Zhao Jian takes good care of you? Call him in advance and ask if he is at home. You must deliver the gift."
"Don't worry, I've already asked. Tomorrow will be his home."
"Do you know what to give?" "Yes, a Shandong specialty, Zaozhuang beef jerky."
Qin Chuan learned this trick from some later generations of artists. When giving gifts to the director, he would give local products from his hometown.
A director who can control tens of millions of dollars in production has never tasted anything delicious. Unless it is under the Animal Protection Act, you dare not give it to others and don't dare to ask for it.
Therefore, the local specialties from my hometown appear to be sincere.
For the ten kilograms of beef jerky, Qin Chuan took a taxi to the mall next door to buy it.
As long as the place of origin is Shandong, it doesn’t matter where you buy it.
Do you really think those celebrities traveled thousands of miles to carry plastic bags on planes to deliver two bites of food to the director?
Qin Chuan estimated that the seniors bought them at the mall, put them in old packaging bags, and carried them to the door.
Because that's what he was prepared to do.
"Not bad, you're smart. It seems you don't need me to remind you." Jin Lian looked at the cigarettes and wine that Qin Chuan had just selected: "Send this to Zhao Jian as well."
Qin Chuan was young, but his emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills were beyond her imagination.
In the entertainment industry, stupid people can't survive long. It's not that the ones who survive are the human spirits, but that only the human spirits can survive.
The world is dangerous and there are not many opportunities for you to try and make mistakes. Sometimes if you say the wrong thing or sit in the wrong position, your career as an actor may be over.
"I just helped him choose." Qin Chuan took over and said.
Although she knew that Qin Chuan was tactful, when she thought of his age, Jin Lian still said a few words: "Be smart when you go to someone else's house. Don't stay too long, and don't sit down to eat when they ask you to eat."
"Prepare a few red envelopes with you and give one to anyone who has a child. Sometimes praising children is more effective than praising others..."
Like a mother-in-law, Jin Lian explained all the key points of New Year greetings. Although Qin Chuan knew what he said and was more knowledgeable than her, he still listened patiently and nodded in cooperation from time to time.
He accidentally looked at his watch and saw that it had been more than half an hour since he entered the house. Qin Chuan stood up to say goodbye because he had to visit the next house.
…
Zhao Jian is from Shaanxi. As most southerners imagine, he is tall and strong.
In his early years, he had been working hard with Zhang Dabeard, and he settled down in Peiping early.
Downstairs in the community where Zhao Jian lives, Qin Chuan's "Banniro" is online again. He looks dignified and talented.
On hand is an old bag, packaging specialties from my hometown.
"Director Zhao, Happy New Year."
“Have fun together.”
"Come just come, bring anything else, it's a waste of money."
"Director Zhao, you are my great benefactor. Without you, I would not be where I am today. This small gift is nothing. By the way, I also brought beef jerky, a specialty of my hometown. Let me tell you, this is a specialty of our place. Made, clean and hygienic..."
After entering the door, Qin Chuan kept saying auspicious words, cigarettes, wine, tea, and specialties. The etiquette was quite considerate.
Coincidentally, Zhao Jian really has a child, and the red envelopes prepared in advance came in handy.
Qin Chuan almost exhausted his lifelong vocabulary of praise for a child who was only a few months old.
Before leaving, Zhao Jian also sent him a red envelope, and Qin Chuan pushed it back and forth.
"You guys are being polite to me. It's just a red envelope. It doesn't cost much. For the New Year, it should be treated as a blessing from the elders to the younger ones."
"Uncle Zhao, if you say that, then I have to accept it."
When we visited, Director Zhao became Uncle Zhao.
This trip is not in vain.
