The man of scumbag Gulnazar
Chapter 27 New Year's Eve Date
After finishing discussing the "Goodbye Mr. Loser" matter, Qin Tian finally felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Then, he flipped open his precious little notebook, and oh my goodness! He'd been so focused on "Goodbye Mr. Loser" that he'd almost forgotten about "Wolf Warrior" waiting for him next year!
Although this was only the first installment, think about it: if you don't participate in the first one, how can there be a second one? So, Qin Tian immediately took action, copying down the script for "Wolf Warrior." Not only that, he also copied "How Long Will I Love U" and Nazha's "Sewing Machine Band," spending a full half month to finish. After finishing, Qin Tian rushed to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to register.
After registering, Qin Tian asked Sister Na to introduce him to Xie Nan. Xie Nan was a TV host; Sister Na had appeared on her show, and she was currently dating Brother Jing. After all this, Qin Tian finally got in touch with Brother Jing.
You know, the entertainment industry really is a small world! When Wu Jing received the message, he was completely bewildered, thinking, "Why would a singer contact me? To ask me to sing?" However, as an influential singer, he still decided to meet Qin Tian, since it wouldn't have any impact.
At that time, Wu Jing had lost money on "Wolf Warrior" and could only get roles as the third or second male lead villains. He was worried about finding a way out. Well, this opportunity just came along!
Qin Tian and Jing Ge arranged to meet at a teahouse. As soon as they met, Qin Tian greeted them warmly, saying, "Hello, Brother Jing! I'm Xiao Qin. It's a pleasure to meet you! Although I'm a singer, I'm currently studying screenwriting at the Beijing Film Academy!"
Wu Jing looked at Qin Tian and thought that I respected him quite a bit. I wasn't pretentious, unlike those effeminate young idols, which suited his taste.
Then, Brother Jing started reading the script, and as he read, his eyes lit up more and more, and he liked it more and more.
Wu Jing felt he had met a kindred spirit. The script was very close to the ideas he had conceived, but much better than what he had imagined.
Brother Jing laughed and said, "Little brother, you're younger than me, so I'll take the liberty of calling you Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian, this script of yours is exactly what I want to hear. Name your price, and I'll buy it!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian quickly explained, "Brother Jing, you don't know this, but while I was studying screenwriting, I was also a producer and I have my own company. I'm currently investing in a Happy Twist production, which is a movie adapted from Hao Jian's team's Spring Festival Gala film, and I'm one of the screenwriters."
That movie is a three-way investment by me, Happy Twist, and China Film Group. Filming is expected to begin in mid-October next year. I will also invest in the movie *Wolf Warrior*, holding at least 50% of the shares, and I'd like you to direct and star in it. Brother Jing, if you'd like to invest, that's fine too, but since this military film uses firearms, we'll need to contact the August First Film Studio for joint investment.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Jing thought I was quite thoughtful, and after a moment's thought, added, "We should also contact an issuer to participate in the investment."
Qin Tian asked him, "Brother Jing, what do you think?"
Wu Jing said embarrassedly, "Xiao Tian, as you know, Fiber Optics invested in the last movie and even lost money. I want to bring Fiber Optics along for this one, and your sister-in-law's contract is also in Fiber Optics' hands."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian quickly said, "It's alright, Brother Jing, I'll do whatever you say. With your relationship with my sister-in-law, we can't let outsiders benefit from this, can we?"
After chatting, Qin Tian and the others had dinner. The two drank quite a bit and got along very well. Finally, Qin Tian ended the dinner by saying he had to go to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.
With all the preparations complete, the Lunar New Year was fast approaching. This year, Qin Tian submitted a song, "Wanjiang," to the Spring Festival Gala production team. This year's gala was touted as the "Chinese Arts Gala," directed by Xiao Gangpao, and all the performers were floral artists.
The two Wangs also contacted Qin Tian, asking if he wanted to sign a management contract with the flower company, promising to give him priority access to film resources. This was basically dangling a carrot in front of Qin Tian! Later, they learned that Qin Tian had no intention of becoming an actor, so they dropped the matter.
If they knew how well "Goodbye Mr. Loser" did at the box office, they'd probably be terrified!
With a stubborn personality like that of a florist, Qin Tian resolutely rejected the invitation to sign with the Spring Festival Gala, and naturally the Gala's production team would not extend an olive branch to him again.
But what makes Qin Tian's song so outstanding? It perfectly matched the aesthetic of the previous song and dance director. The director fell in love with this positive and melodious song as soon as he heard it, believing that it was exactly the kind of melody the country needed.
So, this song was presented directly to the bigwigs, and ultimately, it was chosen as the closing act. Even the director, Xiao Gangpao, couldn't refuse.
However, unexpected joy always comes so suddenly. During rehearsals, Qin Tian unexpectedly met Teacher Zhao from Northeast China, who was this year's consultant for the language-based programs. It turned out that Teacher Zhao had helped adapt "To Help or Not to Help".
When fellow villagers meet, tears well up in their eyes. When Teacher Zhao learned that Qin Tian was the screenwriter of "Blind Date," she liked him even more. The two exchanged contact information, and Teacher Zhao even patted her chest and promised that they would definitely collaborate on a good program in the future.
This is like a connection that fell from the sky!
With New Year's Day just around the corner, Qin Tian has already started preparing for his new album. It's still nine songs, and the album is titled "Back to School Season," which, as the name suggests, is a collection of songs to sing when school starts. While it may not necessarily be a hit, it will at least help Qin Tian maintain his popularity.
The song list this time is also quite luxurious: "Youth", "You Were Once a Youth", "Proud Youth", "The Wind Rises", "Your Answer", "Flowers Bloom All the Way", "Ordinary Road", "My Paper Airplane" and "Little Happiness".
After Qin Tian sent the lyrics and music to the company, he started arranging and recording. He didn't shoot any music videos this year; he felt Nazha wasn't quite suitable for on-screen roles, so he skipped it. It's the end of the year, and he'll be busy shooting commercials and attending events—making money is the most important thing!
Now, Qin Tian has accumulated some savings. Why? Because he basically only makes money and doesn't spend it, which even Sun Qian finds unbelievable.
Qin Tian continued to rent an apartment in Beijing and drive the studio car. Apart from sending money home, his only expense was buying gifts for Nazha. But Nazha wasn't a spendthrift, so this seemed particularly unbelievable for a young person.
Qin Tian's music career is booming, and he has also secured two scripts, "How Long Will I Love U" and "Sewing Machine Band," both starring Nazha.
However, he still felt a little guilty about always casting Nazha in movies, since the general audience would no longer be able to see the beautiful, kind, gentle, considerate, and caring Nazha on television.
It's the end of the year, and Naza is incredibly busy, attending events every day. In December, at the China TV Drama Awards, she once again outshone everyone else, looking breathtakingly beautiful on the red carpet. How could those other young actresses not be jealous? You don't have any new work, yet you always manage to outshine everyone; how could you not attract criticism?
There have been quite a few people criticizing Nazha online lately, but she's used to it. It would be abnormal if she didn't! Among them is someone named Meng Ziyi, who used a secondary account to stir up trouble, saying Nazha isn't good enough for Qin Tian, that she's an old cow eating young grass. Of course, everyone is unaware of this, so they just treat it as a joke.
On December 25th, Christmas Day, Nazha still hadn't returned. Just as Qin Tian was about to spend the holiday alone again, Meng Ziyi called and learned that Nazha was still participating in an event.
As the saying goes, if you swing your hoe well, no corner is too steep to break up. Don't just think about it, take action!
"Hey! Qin Tian, what are you doing? Come on out for Christmas! Let's go see a movie!"
"I'm not going!" Qin Tian said shamelessly.
"Qin Tian!!!" Meng Ziyi shouted, then said weakly, "I'm spending Christmas alone. My roommates all went out to play." Her voice was slightly tearful; she had used up all her acting skills in this scene.
"I don't want to move, Meng!" Qin Tian still refused. He was joking, of course; he still had a video call with that girl later!
"What about New Year's Eve? You can't refuse me again! You've already refused me once! I have my pride too! Besides, I've already found out that Nazar won't be back until mid-January," Meng Ziyi said again.
Qin Tian thought to himself, "Damn it! I've been tricked again! They're asking for the moon and then demanding a bargain!" With no other choice, he had to agree.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Ziyi excitedly shouted, "Yay! Oh yeah!"
Wang Yifei asked, "How was it? How was it?"
Meng Ziyi smiled mysteriously: "Of course I can't spend Christmas alone! It's on purpose! I knew she would refuse the first time! New Year's Eve is the important thing! From 13 to 14! 1314 for life! Yay!"
……
Miss Naza's call came as expected: "Xiaotian, I'm so sorry! I can't be with you before the New Year! I miss you so much!"
Qin Tian: "Sister, I miss you too! It'll be another two weeks before I can see you!"
"Work? We'll wait until you're making movies! We won't take on so many jobs anymore! Let's travel more! I'll direct, you can produce!"
"Hey sis! Where are you spending New Year's Eve? I'm probably having a get-together with my roommates! It's New Year's Eve this year! How about I come visit you on set for New Year's Day?"
"No need! Listen to me! You need to rest too! You still have to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala! I'll be back in two weeks at most. 'If love between two people lasts forever, why should they be together every day?'" Naza even used some literary phrases.
The two ended the call in a sweet, intimate manner. Qin Tian wasn't stupid; he knew what he could and couldn't say. If he dared to say he spent New Year's Eve with another girl, Za would have to rush back to the capital from Sanya that very day.
Lying is a man's instinct in these situations! It's just for the sake of harmonious living! It's a white lie!
On New Year's Eve, Qin Tian found a cozy and atmospheric restaurant and ate Cantonese food. Having already promised Meng Ziyi, he felt he should act like a responsible man.
Then the two watched a movie until midnight. What happened? Nothing! Qin Tian was simply held by Meng Ziyi's arm the entire time. Qin Tian adhered to the three principles of a scumbag: don't take the initiative, don't refuse, and don't make promises.
After midnight, Qin Tian took Meng Ziyi back to school. As they approached the school gate, Meng Ziyi turned around and looked at Qin Tian.
Their eyes met, and Qin Tian's heart began to pound again, his face turning red to the roots of his ears. Meng Ziyi also noticed his unusual expression, for she too had fallen for him.
Suddenly, Meng Ziyi rushed forward, kissed Qin Tian, and then turned and ran. Back in her dormitory, she was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions, including excitement, happiness, and shyness.
If Qin Tian had asked to stay overnight, Meng Ziyi wasn't sure if she would have refused. But Qin Tian didn't. However, she was certain of one thing: Qin Tian was a man she could rely on.
At this moment, Qin Tian frantically called Nazha, only seeing Nazha's face during the video call could soothe his guilty conscience.
Naza was also waiting for Qin Tian's call: "Xiao Tian! You and your roommate broke up?"
"Yes, yes! I took them back to school! I still need to prepare for my performance at the Spring Festival Gala! I didn't drink! They all drank too much! So I brought them back." Qin Tian explained, his face flushed, whether it was because he was lying or because of the cold weather, it was hard to tell.
"Oh dear! I see you're still by the roadside! It's too cold, I'm not going to chat anymore! You should go back now! I miss you! Be good, your sister will be back in a week." Naza finished speaking and urged Qin Tian to hang up the phone. Receiving a call from Qin Tian was already a great joy.
Little did they know! There's only a difference between a man lying zero times and countless times!
Qin Tian's home wasn't far from the school; he could walk back. Right now, his mind was a complete mess!
"It's hard to be a person, it's hard to be a man! It's hard to be an excellent man!" Qin Tian thought to himself.
