Chapter 100: Too deep into the drama, obsessed with it
With the signing contract and Li Xiaoyao’s script, Qin Chuan left the Sugar Man headquarters.
There are procedures to sign a contract. He signs it, the branch office stamps it, the headquarters stamps it, and finally it takes effect.
Considering that they were all his own people, Cai Yinong also gave him the script before the process was completed and asked him to go back and think about it carefully.
"Sister Jin, you're done!"
At the hotel, Qin Chuan signed the contract and handed it to Jin Lian.
"Okay, okay, okay." Jin Lian happily said three good words in a row: "It's almost the end of the year. If you are not very short of money, I will help you with the recent business mistakes. The first thing is to thoroughly understand the script. Task."
She thought Qin Chuan would say that there would be no conflict in reading the script while doing business, and she was already prepared with words of advice.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan said: "I think so too. Mr. Cai said that the male lead has been finalized and the remaining roles will be played soon. Filming will start in two months. Time is tight, so I won't take on external jobs."
The important roles in this drama are played by my own family members, so there are no schedule conflicts or anything like waiting.
The male lead is determined, and the rest will be in place soon.
Sugar Man is a mature film and television company with a complete shooting team and equipment, ready to work at any time.
Jin Lian said: "Then let's have a meal tonight and have a celebration party, and then go back tomorrow."
"Okay, I'm treating you today."
At noon the next day, Qin Chuan, Jin Lian, and Wang Tingting took a flight back to Peking.
Mid-Autumn Festival.
Qin Chuan saw Huang Bo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Carrying a box of mooncakes, Huang Bo came to see him.
It's been a long time since we last saw each other. Huang Bo's elegant long hair of the same style as Chen Haonan has been cut short, and he has become much thinner.
While the two were chatting, Huang Bo asked: "Are you going home to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"There will be a leading male lead soon. It's a critical time. I may not be able to go back. Let's go back next year." Qin Chuan looked at the slightly haggard Huang Bo and said, "What about you, what are your plans? You can do an internship next year."
Huang Bo's junior college degree was two years in school and one year in internship.
It’s time to go out into society next May.
Huang Bo smiled and said, "You are still worried about me. I have a lot of options. I can't play big roles, but there are many ordinary roles."
Qin Chuan followed: "I forgot about your connections and strength."
If I remember correctly, Huang Bo played a few small roles while he was in school. After leaving school, it became even worse, with no small roles at all.
It wasn't until 2005 when I played Crazy Stone and it was released in 2006 that I finally turned around.
"That's right." Huang Bo was still proud.
Qin Chuan said: "I will join the team soon. I won't be able to come back within three or four months. No one will look after the house."
"You have to consider renting a house after the new year anyway, so you might as well move here with me."
Huang Bo waved his hand and said, "I have already chosen the house and I don't want to live here."
I really have my eye on the house. There is an old and small single room by the back door of Nortel. It is currently occupied by a senior student. When the senior student leaves next semester, he will take over.
"Why can't you live and die? Is there someone outside?" Qin Chuan frowned and took out his mobile phone to make a call: "I have to report this situation to my sister."
"What are you calling?" Huang Bo stopped him: "I'm staying, isn't it okay if I'm staying?"
"That's right. I'll give you the key later. You can move it here at any time. I have 10,000 yuan in cash in my study drawer. You can get it yourself if you need it."
"I will make it clear to the landlord that you can stay here, winter is coming, and you can turn on the air conditioner, but don't bother with it..."
Huang Bo never thought that one day his brother-in-law would have to take care of him.
This is why I haven't met Qin Chuan very often during this period, and why I don't want to live here.
I have too much self-esteem, sorry.
But he didn't plan to come over for the time being, so as not to be nagged by Qin Chuan, it was best to wait until Qin Chuan left.
A week later, Wang Baoqiang finished filming on the set of A World Without Thieves. The first thing he did when he returned to Peking was to find Qin Chuan.
The two made an appointment for a meal, during which Qin Chuan hinted at washing his feet several times, but Baoqiang seemed not to hear.
I don’t know who told him to invite him to heaven and earth when he came back.
Finally, Qin Chuan said clearly: "Are you still going to wash your feet when you come back this time?"
"What to wash?" Wang Baoqiang was confused.
"Wash your feet?"
"What feet?"
"You're pretending to be cool with me, right?"
Baoqiang's face showed bitterness: "Brother Chuan, today is different from the past. I can't wash it now. I have an agent taking care of me every day. If I fall in love, I need permission from the company."
"How about you go by yourself, order something expensive, and I'll reimburse you."
Qin Chuan held a cigarette in his mouth and said repeatedly: "It's gone, it's gone, the feelings have faded, okay, I'll go by myself."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the direction of heaven and earth.
Behind him, Baoqiang looked at his companion's lonely back, gritted his teeth and followed him: "Say it first, for the last time."
An hour and a half later, the two came out of heaven and earth.
His mouth kept smashing.
"Don't tell me, it's expensive. The foot washers are so beautiful. It's worth the money."
"It's too late. How do you say that?" Baoqiang racked his brains and couldn't think of anything.
Qin Chuan said: "I wish we could meet each other before we were married."
"Yes, that's it."
"What's wrong with this? Come back tomorrow."
Baoqiang shook his head like a rattle: "I can't do it anymore, I will quit in the future."
Two days later, at night.
Qin Chuan, who had just woken up from his dream, called Baoqiang: "It's my first time playing the leading role. Do you want to celebrate?"
"Okay!" Bao Qiang's firm voice was on the other side of the phone.
Playing the leading role is a major life event and should indeed be celebrated.
A few days later, Qin Chuan called again.
"I received the notice. I will join the group next month. Why don't you invite me to wash it again? Just treat it as a farewell."
Baoqiang gritted his teeth: "Okay."
If nothing else worked, he couldn't refuse the excuse of seeing him off. It was probably the last time to wash his feet, so he should satisfy Qin Chuan.
Seven or eight days later, Qin Chuan called: "Today is my birthday."
"wash!"
It's my brother's birthday, so I have to wash it once, just once a year.
In October, Qin Chuan, who had mastered the role of Li Xiaoyao, was going to call Baoqiang again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently active."
"Um?"
"That's not right. When you are on a call, it should prompt you when you call. Why does it ring for more than ten seconds before saying that you are on a call?"
"Is this kid hanging up on me?"
Qin Chuan continued to beat him, twice if he couldn't do it once. He was also persistent. When he beat him for the seventh time, Baoqiang said with a cry: "Brother, I really can't wash anymore."
"I didn't say wash your feet, I just wanted to treat you to a meal."
"real?"
"real."
"Then you come to my house to eat, and I'll order some dishes."
Now Baoqiang is afraid whenever he hears Qin Chuan's call. He goes to wash his feet every now and then, which alarms his manager.
He also told him to sever ties with Qin Chuan.
Now he can only interact with Qin Chuan secretly, not daring to let anyone know, it's like having an underground love affair.
"No problem, I'll be there soon."
Qin Chuan put on his coat and went out, taking a taxi to Wang Baoqiang's residence.
After signing the contract with Huayi, Baoqiang also changed his residence. Saying goodbye to the cold and damp basement,
it is now a residential building with one bedroom and one living room. On the way there, Qin Chuan bought a box of beer.
The two of them were eating and drinking, and after finishing a box of wine, for some reason, Baoqiang felt like he couldn't control his steps, so he agreed to send Qin Chuan away, and he was sent to heaven and earth.
The next morning, when he walked out of the club, he squatted on the roadside and gave himself a few big mouths.
Qin Chuan next to him felt distressed and quickly handed over the cigarette and lighter skillfully.
Then he put his coat on his shoulders coolly, took a taxi on the roadside and left in the morning sun.
At the door of the heaven and earth, Baoqiang squatted and smoked. He looked at the lighter in his hand and said, "Hey, why did it become plastic?"
He has a lot of Qin Chuan lighters at home, either made of kerosene or made of steel, or printed in incomprehensible English.
"Brother, I'm in such a state of desperation. Just to ask me to wash my feet, I spent a dollar on a lighter."
"I am so damn inhuman!"
…
In October, just a few days after the Double Ninth Festival, Qin Chuan took Wang Tingting on a plane to Hengdian.
This time, the package he chose was a monthly package.
On the plane, Wang Tingting took pictures of the clouds outside the window: "I haven't flown as many times in my life as you have in the past few months."
"Just get used to it." Qin Chuan crossed his legs carelessly, holding a magazine in his hand to pass the time.
Wang Tingting put away her SLR and stared at him carefully.
Qin Chuan stepped back: "What are you looking at? There are flowers on my face?"
Wang Tingting said nothing and continued to stare at him.
"Are you sick? What do you want to do?"
Wang Tingting said: "Smile."
Qin Chuan smiled impatiently.
"Aren't you tired?" Wang Tingting said suddenly.
"Why are you tired?"
"I said, you are acting in real life, aren't you tired?" Wang Tingting said seriously: "You should have entered the new role you are about to play now, right?"
Qin Chuan sat upright and put away his smile: "Does it look like he acted?"
Recently, he has experienced Li Xiaoyao over and over again, and his memory is really profound.
If Wang Tingting didn't say it, he wouldn't have noticed it. Subtly, Li Xiaoyao also came to reality.
"It's very similar." Wang Tingting said: "If you are not familiar with you, you will definitely think that this is your personality."
"But I have had more contact with you, and I know what you are like in normal times, so I feel awkward."
"It's like there's a mask on your face, and you become a different person."
"If you're on stage or on set, it's normal for you to be like this, but it's like this in life too, and it's a bit scary."
Qin Chuan held his chin and was silent for a few seconds: "I read too many scripts and the character research is a bit deep. After the filming of this movie is completed, I will take a good rest."
Wang Tingting not only admires his professionalism, but also feels a little distressed. There is no one else who can act to the point of being possessed.
"You don't have to wait until the filming is over. You can have more hobbies in your daily life, such as drinking, chatting and partying with friends."
"We've gotten together, and we haven't gotten together less often."
"What are you doing at the party?"
"Study the Way."
Wang Tingting: "..."
"How much does it cost to wash your feet?"
"It depends on the situation. There are cheap ones ranging from sixty-eight to eighty-eight, and expensive ones ranging from five to six hundred to one thousand eight hundred."
Everything in heaven and earth is expensive, you get what you pay for, and the technician's figure, appearance, and technique are all worth mentioning.
There are also academic requirements, I heard the minimum is a bachelor's degree.
Order a set meal and you can enjoy many activities, such as bathing, karaoke, massage, eating seafood, playing billiards...
Wang Tingting had never washed her feet before. When she heard that it cost so much money, she felt distressed and said, "Why are you spending so much money? It's just to wash your feet. Give me the money and I'll wash them for you."
Qin Chuan found it funny: "You know how to massage?"
"What's so difficult about this? It's just about relaxing your muscles. I can learn it."
"Can you wear black stockings, high heels, and a maid outfit?"
"If you order it for 1,800, I can wear it too."
"Do you know the soft style?"
Wang Tingting didn't understand: "What is soft style."
Qin Chuan planned to tease her and waved: "Come here."
In her ear, Qin Chuan briefly introduced the soft style. After listening to it, Wang Tingting's neck and ears instantly turned red.
Qin Chuan: "..."
"What are you thinking about? Girls should be more reserved. You are not short of money. Why are you doing all this... How much more?"
Wang Tingting laughed loudly: "I lied to you, but you still took it seriously. Oh my gosh, you actually asked me the price. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, I usually don't notice it."
Qin Chuan blushed at this moment.
Madhu was actually tricked.
Wang Tingting patted him on the shoulder and said: "With our relationship, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not. Come to my sister's room at night and get you a complete set."
"Let's make an agreement first. I will lock the door after eleven o'clock. No one will be waiting if it is late."
He died on the spot. Qin Chuan no longer wanted to talk. He only tried to see if Wang Tingting had locked the door because his brain was in trouble.
If it weren't for the fact that the airplane windows couldn't be opened, he would have wanted to jump out.
Damn it, the character that has been in operation for a long time has collapsed.
Wang Tingting leaned against the plane window and laughed at the embarrassed Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan is the real him now, and he talks much better than before wearing a mask.
My little brother is not in a good condition, just tease him and he will be fine.
…
After arriving at the airport, Qin Chuan and Wang Tingting went straight to the hotel arranged by the crew. The location was not too remote, half an hour's drive from Hengdian Film and Television Base.
In the lobby on the first floor, when you enter the door, you see Liu Yifei and her mother checking in at the front desk with their suitcases.
"Hello." Qin Chuan greeted him proactively.
"Hi!" Liu Yifei waved and smiled in response.
The two were not surprised by the reunion.
Qin Chuan had long known that the heroine of Sword and Sword One was Liu Yifei. Not long after the male lead was confirmed, Jin Lian also told him about the cast of the film.
Liu Yifei signed the contract later than him, but he also found out who the leading actor was before signing the contract.
"Young man looks familiar, have we met before?" Liu Xiaoli said, looking at Qin Chuan.
She had seen the photo and knew it was the male protagonist, but she always felt familiar, as if she had seen him before somewhere.
"It should be Nortel. At the end of last year, you took Liu...Yifei to school. We met once."
Qin Chuan and Liu Yifei were not very familiar with each other, so they simply called them by their full names.
"Oh, I remember." Liu Xiaoli thought about it. At first, she thought Qin Chuan was like a street kid.
"Who is this?" Liu Yifei looked at Wang Tingting.
Qin Chuan introduced: "My makeup artist."
Women's intuition immediately made Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli feel something was wrong.
How can there be such a young and beautiful makeup artist?
Besides, with Qin Chuan's status, it seems that he is not at the level of a personal makeup artist.
The way the mother and daughter looked at Qin Chuan suddenly seemed a little meaningful.
