Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 22 Dialogue with Hu Jun
There was a bus from the crew going back and forth at the hotel entrance to pick up people. Wang Tingting got on the bus after walking out of the elevator.

Qin Chuan didn't go up.

His scene this morning was not in a hurry.

He chose to run over there and consider it as exercise.

After jogging for more than 40 minutes, I arrived at the crew. After eating a breakfast with extras, I found an open space to practice martial arts.

After practicing the basic movements such as backflip, leg tearing, and top push, I started practicing You Tanzhi's martial arts moves.

Zhao Jian, Yu Ming and others who were passing by nodded repeatedly and praised Qin Chuan for his diligence.

Of course, there were also people who secretly scolded him for pretending.

The film and television city is so big, you can practice anywhere. Is it necessary to practice on the crew or on the road that everyone must take?

If Qin Chuan could hear their thoughts, he would definitely praise them as an expert.

He is indeed practicing, but he is also expressing himself, otherwise he would not have chosen this position, but this is not a conflict.

From time to time, when he saw Zhao Jian was free, he would go up to him and ask for advice on martial arts moves.

Qin Chuan learned it with just a few simple teachings.

For the rest of the time, he habitually took out a Liquan cigarette and handed it over.

While smoking, Zhao Jian patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and praised him: "Work hard as a supporting actor. Maybe one day you will become a big star. When the time comes, don't complain about the low salary when I ask you to act in a movie."

Seeing this, Qin Chuan also reacted quickly and said: "Leader, no matter what I become in the future, I will always be your soldier."

Zhao Jian: "As expected of a Shandong native, it would be a shame if you don't take the civil service exam."

In the afternoon, the crew filmed the fighting scenes.

You Tanzhi challenges Qiao Feng in a duel.

Before filming began, Qin Chuan and Hu Jun's stand-in Zhou Haopeng practiced their moves.

Both of them are acquaintances, so the work is much easier.

"Brother Peng, you can perform this move of Seeing the Dragon in the Field faster. I can keep up."

"Let's discuss the distance between us first, so as not to hurt anyone by mistake."

"Fight with confidence, don't feel burdened."

"Come on, let's go through it."

This was the easiest scene for Qin Chuan to rehearse. People he knew were easy to talk to, and he could offer any suggestions he wanted, and the other party would do their best to satisfy him.

It's easy to fight, even if it's a little bumpy, but you don't have to worry about the other person getting angry or impatient.

Even if there is something wrong, it’s nothing that can’t be solved by treating me to hotpot after work.

After the martial arts rehearsal was completed, Qin Chuan brought a small stool to find Hu Jun to rehearse the lines.

The crew doesn’t provide stools, so if you want one you have to bring your own. Just stick your name on the backrest and no one will touch your stool.

Generally, only the official "acting roles" carry a stool.

Some big names even brought reclining chairs.

"Teacher Hu, my name is Qin Chuan, and I play You Tanzhi. We will have a scene together later. Is it convenient for us to rehearse our lines now?"

"No problem." Hu Jun said calmly, "But you have to find me in advance next time. We are rehearsing in the afternoon, so you can't find me in the afternoon. It's best to get the lines right the day before."

"Sorry for the trouble." Qin Chuan apologized and explained, "I just got this role yesterday. Time is a bit tight. I won't do it again next time."

Hu Jun felt a little embarrassed for having misunderstood someone: "Your voice sounds familiar, have we met before?"

"Before, I played the waiter at Yanbei Inn."

"It's you. You've been promoted very quickly."

He was just a waiter playing minor roles before, but within a few days he became a supporting role. This speed of promotion is a bit scary.

If Hu Jun had not seen Qin Chuan's waiter with his own eyes, he would have thought he was joking.

"It's because the director thinks highly of me and is willing to give me a chance."

"Not necessarily. Our business still relies on strength. If you don't have something, you won't be able to seize the opportunity. Come on, come on, let's talk."

This scene is mainly based on martial arts, and there are not many literary scenes between the two people. They finished rehearsing their lines in less than two minutes.

After rehearsing the lines, Hu Jun took a sip of tea and said, "Your lines are good. Which acting school did you come from?" Most of the professional actors in the entertainment industry graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, the Central Academy of Drama, and the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Maybe Qin Chuan is his junior fellow apprentice.

"I haven't attended acting school." Qin Chuan told the truth.

"Impossible." Hu Jun didn't believe it: "Then you debuted when you were young?"

Qin Chuan counted on his fingers and said, "It's been almost a month since my debut."

I've been at the Beijing Film Studio for half a month, and have been in the crew here for almost half a month, so a total of about one month.

"You are trying to fool me, right?" Hu Jun's eyes widened and his voice became much higher.

Qin Chuan's delivery skills are so good that it seems he has not received any professional training. He ate up the script.

The difference between those who have not been trained in lines and those who have been trained is completely different, and you can tell the difference with your eyes closed.

Qin Chuan's dialogue skills are not very strong, but at least they are above the passing level, better than those of students who graduated from film academies.

That’s it. He said he just debuted for a month, what’s the fuss?
Qin Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I've only been in this industry for a month. I'm 19 years old and I was taking the college entrance examination last year."

Hu Jun heard it and realized that sometimes saying that you are not good at something is also a way of showing off.

He admitted that Qin Chuan was indeed pretending to be such a jerk.

"Then you have great talent."

Being able to deliver lines like this at the age of 19, he is very talented, no doubt about it.

Recalling the role of a waiter played by Qin Chuan before, he had a very relaxed feeling and his own performance rhythm, which is very rare.

Qin Chuan said seriously: "I don't have any talent. I just can endure a little hardship."

It's a very honest statement, but it sounded a bit pretentious to Hu Jun.

"Yes, yes, it's good for young people to be able to endure hardships." Hu Jun didn't want to listen to his pretense anymore and started to be perfunctory.

After a while, the crew started filming.

This scene has a lot of fighting scenes, and Hu Jun doesn't know any martial arts, so he can only use a stunt double to fill in the shots after they finish filming.

The first person to come on stage was the stand-in Zhou Haopeng. After Hu Jun made a handsome entrance, he was replaced by Hu Jun and began to speak the lines.

Qin Chuan took over and the two began a brief conversation.

Just those few sentences I just said.

Seeing A Zi, who was rescued by Qiao Feng, lying shyly in her brother-in-law's arms, the bootlicker You Tanzhi became jealous.

"Let go of Ah Zi."

"Who are you? Did you blind Ah Zi's eyes?"

Worried that the two would fight, Cheng Hao, the popular actor who played Ah Zi, spoke up: "No, brother-in-law, my eyes were blinded by the poison of the old monster Xingxiu."

"I am Zhuang Juxian, the leader of the Beggars' Sect." In front of his beloved woman, Zhuang Juxian revealed his most impressive identity.

"You have already taken Ding Chunqiu as your master, so you are not our leader." After the elder of the Beggar Gang finished off the opponent, he turned to Qiao Feng, who had already given up his Han Chinese identity, and called him leader.

"I have long since quit the Beggars' Sect and am no longer the leader." You Tanzhi had gone to great lengths to obtain this status, but Qiao Feng disdained it.

You Tanzhi's eyes were almost filled with anger.

After a few simple conversations, the fighting scene begins.

Hu Jun stood on the sidelines while his substitute Zhou Haopeng came on the field, fighting one against two, against Murong Fu and You Tanzhi at the same time.

Xiu Qin and Qin Chuan on the opposite side did not use substitutes.

The three of them were fighting fiercely.

Hu Jun's face turned red when he saw this, but he was the only one who was idle.

After a few moves, the director called "cut" and asked Zhou Haopeng to leave the stage. Hu Jun came up and did some moves. A close-up was needed here, so he had to come on stage.

Unfortunately, Qin Chuan was standing opposite him.

"You are good at martial arts. How long have you practiced?"
