Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 37: Drum Tower, Fire

Play volume 1, play volume 2, play volume 3...

On the first day, the number of views on Gulou was 6,000 to 7,000, and a large part of them were the "promotions" Qin Chuan paid for and the "fans" in Houhai.

On the second day and the day after, the song "Gulou" began to appear in major bars in Houhai.

The number of views has reached tens of thousands.

Before this, only Qin Chuan knew this song, and he was the only one who sang it.

Now that it’s online, more people will understand it.

A basic skill for this job is to have an extensive music library, and be able to sing all the better songs on the market.

Take Golden Age for example. If you cannot sing the song requested by the customer, you will be deducted money. If you still cannot sing after more than three days, Zeng Yi will fire you.

After Qinchuan’s Drum Tower was released, these singers who made a living by performing as resident singers began to learn.

In just two or three days, the Drum Tower sounded every night in the Houhai area.

The bars in Houhai are doing pretty good business, with thousands of people coming every night. With so many bars, tens of thousands of people have heard the song "Drum Tower" in just two days.

The speed of its spread was much faster than when Qin Chuan sang alone before.

After four or five days, the video had been played online more than 300,000 times.

With Houhai as the radiation point, the song "Gulou" began to enter major campuses.

College students are always the first group of people at the forefront of the times. They are quick to accept new things and they are the ones who have the most fun in the bar.

It’s about the same time, in the dance studio of Beijing Dance Academy.

Liu Shishi, wearing a gym suit and with her hair tied in a bun, was sitting on the wooden floor to rest, sweating profusely.

He casually took out a Walkman from his schoolbag and put on headphones to listen to music.

The song is Drum Tower.

The singer's name is Qin Chuan.

When she first started listening to this song, she didn't know that this Qin Chuan was the same Qin Chuan.

Later I watched the MV and realized that they were the same person.

She was even included in the bus scene for a few seconds.

Hengdian Film and Television City.

Wang Tingting was doing makeup for a production crew, and she recommended Gulou to everyone she met: "This is sung by my buddy, it's nice, everyone please support it and download it a few times."

……

That day, Qin Chuan went to Beijing Film Academy.

The No. 107 bus, which is usually not very crowded, was filled with young men and women today.

It was neither the morning rush hour nor the evening rush hour, and there was no place to stand.

"Push back and don't crowd the front."

As soon as Qin Chuan got on, the driver gave a loud reminder.

"Oh my god, why are there so many people today?" Qin Chuan asked, holding the handrail.

A fat boy with acne on his face and a school bag on his back said, "Don't ask. You'll know soon."

After a while, the bus arrived at Gulou Station and the loudspeaker on the bus played a prelude to the chorus of Gulou.

"Oh~ I'm a silent passenger leaning against the window missing you."

"When bus No. 107 passes by again, time is the tram that takes away youth."

"I am standing by the Shichahai Sea. All the sweetness has nothing to do with me."

“It’s a crowded place, and I’m alone.”

"I'm in the Drum Tower, I'm in the Drum Tower..."

The loudspeaker on the bus was playing songs and the young people on the bus were singing along.

Qin Chuan was dumbfounded and said, "Awesome."

He thought that this song would be popular in places like Gulou and Shichahai, but he never expected it to be sung on Bus No. 107.

"That's awesome, right? I think so too." The fat man with acne laughed and said, "Why can't I write such a good song?"

"I heard that Qin Chuan is only 19 years old and looks quite good. Hey, brother, you look a bit like him."

The fat man suddenly grabbed Qin Chuan's hand and looked at his face carefully.

Qin Chuan smiled: "Is it possible that I am Qin Chuan?"

This is why he wants to shoot music videos. Many singers have sung many well-known songs, but no one can recognize them when they walk on the street.

Usually you only hear his voice but never see him.

It’s different with the MV, everyone can get to know him when listening to the song.

"Fuck, it's really you, Brother Chuan, give me an autograph." The fat man excitedly held Qin Chuan and refused to let go. The people around him heard the sound and leaned over one by one.

"Are you Qin Chuan?"

"Did you sing in the drum tower?"

"it's me."

"Brother, sign your name."

"Get in line, take your time."

"Brother, sit here and sign on my lap."

"Master, drive slower."

"Okay." The bus driver glanced at the rearview mirror, smiled and slowed down.

There were dozens of people on the bus, and Qin Chuan signed one by one.

But when these people saw him in the car, they were reluctant to get off and kept finding all kinds of topics to talk about.

Seeing that there was no place for the people getting on the bus behind him to stand, Qin Chuan didn't want to take up other people's working time, so he got off the bus a few stops away.

Before leaving, the driver said, "Don't worry, young man, sign one for me too."

"I was the one who made your song popular. I played it on my phone a few days ago for my own listening. Later, I played it on the radio in the car at everyone's request."

"Thanks, uncle."

Qin Chuan quickly signed for the bus driver.

This is not the first time Qin Chuan has come to Beijing Film Academy.

He took out a class schedule from his pocket, accurately found the teaching building and lecture hall where the Department of Performance held its classes, and walked in through the back door.

This kind of large class often has hundreds of students, many from different departments, and no one knows him at all.

Qin Chuan sat in the last row, took out his notebook and pen, and waited quietly for the teacher to start the lecture.

The idea of ​​attending the class for free only came to me two days ago.

Although he has the Nuo paraphernalia to experience the character's life, experiencing it is one thing and expressing it through performance is another.

Acting, acting, it all comes down to acting.

For example, a scene where a princess is asked to sing in a KTV.

In the world of Nuo toys, Qin Chuan might just be hugging the lady while singing, taking advantage of her from time to time, touching her thighs and breasts, looking like a LSP.

But you can’t act like this when filming on the set. Actors have to pay attention to the camera, consider the sense of picture, consider the lighting, and the emotions on their faces must be richer and more exaggerated.

And these things will not be taught in the Nuo world.

That's why Qin Chuan came to Beijing Film Academy to take classes, learn some acting techniques and enrich his acting skills.

"Hello everyone, I won't introduce myself, I'm sure you all know me."

"I'm calling the roll. Those who have cell phones must turn them off. Whoever's cell phone rings will fail the course."

The teacher of the class was Huang Lei, and he talked about how to perform in front of the camera.

Qin Chuan listened carefully, took several notes, and benefited a lot.

After class, he still went out the back door, called Huang Bo, and went straight to the cafeteria.

After eating, they bought two bottles of soda and sat down to rest by the basketball court.

Huang Bo leaned back on the stairs and said lazily, "You are good, kid. I am numb from listening to the drum tower every day. Has anyone asked you to sign a contract?"

Looking at the basketball players below who were radiating youthful energy, Qin Chuan said with a mature air: "Yes, I refused. I want to be an actor."

The song has become a minor hit now, with over a million views online, and its popularity continues to grow.

He called more than a dozen record companies to sign a contract, some were small companies like Golden Age, and some were large companies with considerable strength.

He didn't agree to any of them.

Huang Bo smiled bitterly, and finally shook his head and said, "You, you."

Many people want to pursue a career in music but fail, including Huang Bo himself.

Qin Chuan is different. He chooses not to leave even though he can. He just wants to play.

"Hey, there's a beauty." Huang Bo stared at the girl with long flowing hair and a floral dress not far away with wide eyes: "She's looking at me."

"Brother-in-law, respect yourself." Qin Chuan warned Huang Bo and also looked over.

It's really beautiful, and looks familiar.

Isn’t this Liu Yifei?

Hey!
Huang Bo cursed inwardly. What was the logic of Qin Chuan being able to look at him but not him? "Hey, he's walking towards us."
