Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 75 Women are just stumbling blocks on the road to success
"I'm going to the bathroom."

After trying Chen Guokun, Zhou Xingchi felt a little tired, so he got up, opened the door and walked towards the bathroom.

In the corridor, I happened to see Yuan Qiu smoking.

She has a bob haircut, wears a long skirt, is old, fat, and has an arrogant look on her face. She is definitely the landlady.

Being stared at by Zhou Xingchi, Yuan Qiu subconsciously put down his crossed legs and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, hello."

"Hello, are you here for an audition?" Zhou Xingchi also found it a little difficult to recognize Yuan Qiu.

After all, Yuan Qiu hasn't made a movie for nearly twenty years. He wasn't very famous when he was filming back then, he was just trying to make a living.

Yuan Qiu shook his head: "No, I came here to play with my friends."

"Are you interested in trying out for a role?"

"I can not."

Yuan Qiu’s first reaction was that it was not possible. She hadn’t acted for twenty years, so how could she have any acting skills? She was already unfamiliar with the film set.

Let her wash vegetables, cook and take care of children because she is good at it.

"I think you can." Zhou Xingchi was not in a hurry to go to the bathroom. After all, sometimes when filming, he would pull a passing cow over to film it several times: "Let's go and try out a role."

Half-heartedly, Yuan Qiu entered the audition room.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Xingchi stared at her, then asked her to say a few lines, and after she finished, he said that the role of "Female No. 1" was given to her.

Yuan Qiu was confused.

She hasn't acted for almost twenty years, and now the one who comes up is Stephen Chow's No. 1 female role. Are you serious?

And these days there are still female leading ladies who are over 50 years old?
Yes, it really exists!

Judging from the number of scenes, the landlady is indeed the leading female character in this play. She has the most and the most important roles among the female characters. If she is not the leading female character, who is?
Yuan Qiu didn't recover until he walked out of the apartment.

At the audition, the assistant director wrote down Yuan Qiu's message: "Director Zhou, she hasn't acted in a movie for so many years, will it work?"

"If I say it can be done, it can be done." Zhou Xingchi defeated the assistant director with just one sentence.

He likes to use new actors the most.

I always feel that newcomers can give him some unexpected effects.

"Add Qin Chuan as well. Give him the role of the Axe Gang boss. Call him in a few days to try out the costume."

"Okay, Director Zhou." The assistant director did as he was told and also envied Qin Chuan and Yuan Qiu.

Looking at the entire entertainment industry, only Stephen Chow is brave enough to use such new actors.

After this drama, they are going to become famous.

At this time, Qin Chuan didn't know that he had been admitted and was wandering around the street.

The construction of each other's third tallest building in the world has not yet begun.

The Magic City was not as prosperous as it is in later generations.

Houses near the Huangpu River are not expensive, and the money he has is enough for a down payment.

If you buy a house now, the price will increase dozens of times in ten years.

Qin Chuan was moved by what he saw.

"Why, do you want a set?" said Jinlian who was traveling with him.

Along the way, Qin Chuan had no interest in fashion stores or jewelry stores. He only looked around at residential areas and new real estate projects as he passed by.

"With your income, you can afford it. Save money and you should be able to buy it next year. Come on."

"Not buying it for now." Qin Chuan shook his head.

"Why? If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some. There is still room for improvement in houses nowadays. They appreciate in value very quickly."

"I didn't buy it because of the rapid appreciation. Without the worries, I'm afraid I won't work as hard as I do now in the future."

As a person with memories of two lives, Qin Chuan knows the power of future housing prices better than anyone else.

He will work hard for two years now and save some money to buy two houses. After more than ten years, when the houses are sold, he will have a net worth of at least tens of millions.

There is no risk at all.

As long as he doesn't gamble or invest, he will never be able to spend these tens of millions in his lifetime.

Life was too comfortable and pleasant, but this was not what he wanted.

Tens of millions are not enough, at least one billion or eight billion will be enough.

Work hard now, make yourself more famous, and in the future you will be able to join the ranks of first-tier stars, earning more than two million yuan a day. Become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

"I didn't expect that I have a freak like you under my command." Jinlian's jaw almost dropped: "This is the first time I heard that you are worried that the value of the house you buy will appreciate too quickly and affect your efforts."

"So you don't plan to date anymore. It's not only a drain on your will, it's also harmful to your health."

Young people are very aggressive and don't know the seriousness of the situation.

Once you have tasted the sweetness of love, you will be addicted to it day and night, your body will be ruined, and you cannot extricate yourself.

Qin Chuan said firmly: "Women are just stumbling blocks on my road to fame. For the time being, I won't touch them. It won't be too late to talk about it when my career is stable in the future."

What a ruthless man! Jin Lian looked at Qin Chuan's resolute eyes and said, "It would be unfair if you don't become famous in the future."

Being cruel to others is not cruel. Being cruel to yourself is the real cruelty.

In order to avoid making themselves comfortable, they choose not to buy a house even though it would appreciate in value, and they choose not to fall in love even though they could.

This kind of person is very rare.

Over the years, Jinlian has met too many artists. Before they became famous, they were all hardworking and honest, but they became useless after they gained a little fame.

He bought houses, cars, and watches, surrounded himself with beautiful women, went in and out of various clubs, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, and completely fell into the world of wine and meat.

This was the first time she had seen someone like Qin Chuan.

"Qin Chuan, if you can always keep this original intention, I won't be called Jin Lian if I can't become famous."

"What's the name?" Qin Chuan was curious: "Calling you Sister Pan? It's not appropriate."

For the first time ever, Jinlian was not angry at all: "If you can become famous, you can be called anything you want."

"Really? Well, it's a deal. When I become famous, I'll call you Sister Pan."

"Okay, don't mention you yelling, even if I yell, it's fine."

Inadvertently, Jinlian showed off her driving skills.

Qin Chuan is an artist under her. The more popular Qin Chuan is and the more money he makes, the higher her income as the artist director will be.

Qin Chuan could earn 18 million a year. She treated him like an ancestor and burned incense every morning, noon and evening.

……

On the third day in Shanghai, Jinlian received a call from the Kung Fu crew, saying that Qin Chuan had passed the audition and asked her to discuss the contract and schedule.

Early in the morning, Jinlian went to negotiate the contract, trying to maximize the benefits for Qin Chuan.

I went there in the morning and came back in the afternoon.

With dozens of pages of contracts in my hands, I walk with the wind.

In the Magic City, at the Tangren Film and Television Headquarters, after Cai Yinong finished his meeting, he remembered that Jinlian and Qin Chuan had been here for a few days.

So I called to ask about the audition.

"Alian, how was the audition? Any results?"

It’s not easy to get a role in Zhou Xingchi’s movies. Young people shouldn’t be too ambitious. You should persuade him more... Cai Yinong had already thought of what to say next.

Qin Chuan is too arrogant and deserves to suffer some setbacks.

"Mr. Cai, there's a result. The audition was successful." Even Jinlian was a little excited.

"Ah, it's a success? I guess I'm just going to be a supporting role?" Cai Yinong couldn't believe it, it was a success like that.

Isn't it said that it's very difficult to get into Zhou Xingchi's plays? Only one in a thousand can be selected, and only those with both strength and luck can be selected.

"He's not a supporting actor. He's the boss of the Axe Gang. He's a very important supporting character."

Jinlian didn't know which male role Qin Chuan played, because in Zhou Xingchi's plays, it was difficult to tell who was the most important supporting role.

Except for the protagonist, the roles of the other supporting characters are almost the same.

"You guys are still in the Magic City, right? Let's have dinner together this afternoon."
