Chapter 75 Women are just stumbling blocks on the road to success
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
After trying Chen Guokun, Zhou Xingchi was a little tired, so he got up and opened the door and walked to the bathroom.
In the corridor, I happened to see Yuan Qiu smoking.
Bob hair, long skirt, older, fatter, with an arrogant look on her face, she looked like the charterer herself.
Being stared at by Zhou Xingchi, Yuan Qiu subconsciously lowered his raised legs and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Zhou."
"Hello, are you here to audition?" Zhou Xingchi also didn't recognize Yuan Qiu.
After all, Yuan Qiu hasn't filmed in nearly 20 years, and he wasn't very famous when he was filming, and he was just making a living.
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "No, I came here to play with my friends."
"Are you interested in trying out a role?"
"I can't."
Yuan Qiu's first reaction was that she couldn't do it. She hadn't acted in twenty years, so she had no acting skills. She was already unfamiliar with the set.
Let her wash vegetables, cook and take care of the children. She is good at it.
"I think you can do it." Zhou Xingchi was not in a hurry to go to the bathroom. After all, sometimes during filming, he would pull a passing cow over and film it several times: "Let's go and try out a role."
Without hesitation, Yuan Qiu entered the audition room.
After entering the door, Zhou Xingchi stared at her, then asked her to say a few words, and then said that the role of "female number one" was given to her.
Yuan Qiu was stunned.
After not acting for almost 20 years, the leading female role is played by Zhou Xingchi. Are you serious?
And there is a female lead in her fifties these days?
Yes, there really is!
In terms of roles, the housekeeper is indeed the female lead in this drama. Among the female characters, she has the most and the most important roles. If she is not the female lead, who is?
Yuan Qiu didn’t recover until he walked out of the apartment.
At the audition site, the assistant director recorded Yuan Qiu's message: "Director Zhou, can she do it without filming for so many years?"
"If I say it can be done, it can be done." Zhou Xingchi dismissed the assistant director with just one sentence.
What he likes to use most is new actors.
I always feel that newcomers can give him some unexpected effects.
"Add that Qin Chuan into the mix and give him the role of the boss of the Ax Gang. I'll call him in a few days and ask him to try on the costume."
"Okay, Director Zhou." While the assistant director obeyed, he also envied Qin Chuan and Yuan Qiu.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, only Zhou Xingchi is so bold and dares to use such a new actor.
After this drama, the two of them will become famous.
At this time, Qin Chuan didn't know that he had been admitted and was wandering on the street.
Construction of each other's world's third tallest building has not yet begun.
The Magic City is not as prosperous as later generations.
Houses near the Huangpu River are not expensive, and the money he has on hand is enough for a down payment.
If you buy a house now, ten years later, the house price will have doubled dozens of times.
Qin Chuan was moved by the sight.
"What, you want to do something?" Jin Lian, who was walking with him, said.
Along the way, Qin Chuan had no interest in fashion stores or jewelry stores at all. He only passed by communities and new buildings, looking at them all the way.
"With your income, you can't afford it. If you save up hard, you should be able to buy it next year. Come on."
"I won't buy it yet." Qin Chuan shook his head.
"Why, if you don't have enough money, I'll lend you some. The current house still has some work to do, and its value will rise quickly."
"I didn't buy it just because the value appreciated quickly. Without the worries, I'm afraid I won't be as desperate as I am now."
As a person with two lifetimes of memories, Qin Chuan knows the power of future housing prices better than anyone else.
Now he has worked hard for two years and saved some money to buy two houses. When the house is sold in more than ten years, he will be worth tens of millions at least.
There is no risk at all.
As long as it wasn't for gambling and investment, he would never be able to finish these tens of millions in his lifetime.
The days are so comfortable and enjoyable. But that's not what he wants.
Tens of millions won’t be enough. One billion or eighty million is enough.
Work harder now to make yourself more famous. In the future, you will become a first-line star with a daily salary of more than two million. You will become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
"I didn't expect that I have such a weirdo like you." Jin Lian's jaw almost dropped: "This is the first time I heard that I was worried that the value of a house would appreciate too quickly after buying it, which would affect my efforts."
"So you don't want to fall in love anymore. This thing not only consumes your will, but also hurts your body."
The young man has a lot of firepower and doesn't know the importance.
Once you taste the taste of love, your body will be damaged day and night, and you will be addicted to it and cannot extricate yourself.
Qin Chuan said firmly: "Women are just a stumbling block on my road to fame. I won't touch them if I can for the time being. It won't be too late to talk about it when my career is stable in the future."
What a ruthless person, Jin Lian looked into Qin Chuan's determined eyes: "It's unreasonable for your kid not to be popular in the future."
Being cruel to others is not cruel, being cruel to yourself is truly cruel.
In order to prevent myself from being comfortable, I don't buy a house even though it could increase in value, and I don't want to fall in love if I can.
This kind of person is so rare.
Over the years, Jin Lian has met too many people and artists. Before they became famous, they were all diligent and honest, but after they became famous, they were useless.
Buying a house, a car, and a watch, surrounded by beautiful women, going to various clubs, spending hundreds of thousands a day, and completely sinking into a world of wine and meat.
This was her first time seeing someone like Qin Chuan.
"Qin Chuan, if you can always maintain this original intention, if you don't become popular, I won't call you Jinlian."
"What's that called?" Qin Chuan was curious: "It's not appropriate to call you Sister Pan."
For the first time, Jin Lian was not angry at all: "If you can be famous, you can call me anything you want."
"Well, let's make an agreement. From now on, I will call you Sister Pan when I become famous."
"Okay, don't say you screamed, just let me scream."
Inadvertently, Jinlian showed off her driving skills.
Qin Chuan is her artist. The more popular Qin Chuan is, the more money he makes, and the corresponding income for her as an artist director will be richer.
Qin Chuan can earn 18 million yuan a year. She treats him as an ancestor and offers him incense every morning, noon and evening.
…
On her third day in the magical city, Jin Lian received a call from the Kung Fu crew. Qin Chuan passed the audition and asked her to discuss the contract and schedule.
Early in the morning, Jin Lian went to negotiate the contract, striving to maximize Qin Chuan's interests.
I went in the morning and came back in the afternoon.
I have dozens of pages of contracts in my hand, and I feel awkward walking.
In Magic City, the headquarters of Sugar Man Film and Television, after Cai Yinong finished the meeting, he remembered that Jin Lian and Qin Chuan had been here for a few days.
So I called to ask about the audition.
"Alian, how was the audition? Are there any results?"
Zhou Xingchi's drama is not easy to get into. Young people should not be too ambitious. You should try to persuade him more... Cai Yinong has already thought out his next words.
Qin Chuan is too arrogant and should suffer some blows.
"Mr. Cai, the results are there, the audition was successful." Even Jin Lian was a little excited.
"Ah, it's successful? It's not just a walk-on, right?" Cai Yinong couldn't believe it, it was so successful.
Isn’t it said that Zhou Xingchi’s role is difficult to get into? Only by choosing one from a thousand can you be selected with both strength and luck.
"It's not a supporting role. He's the boss of the Ax Gang. He has a very important supporting role."
Jin Lian didn't know which male character Qin Chuan was, because in Zhou Xingchi's play, it was difficult to tell who was the most important among the supporting roles.
Except for the protagonist, the roles of the other supporting characters feel similar.
"You are still in the Magic City, let's have dinner together in the afternoon."
