The man of scumbag Gulnazar

Chapter 31 Giving Up Acting

When Qin Tian and Nazha and the others rushed over, the previously worrying illness seemed to instantly see a glimmer of hope.

After a long and in-depth discussion with the doctors, everyone unanimously decided to bring Naza's father to Beijing for further treatment.

Qin Tian knew that time was of the essence and the task was arduous, but he stepped forward without hesitation. To ensure that the Nazha family could recuperate in Beijing with peace of mind, he tirelessly searched everywhere and finally found a spacious and bright place to live in Beijing. This house was not only spacious but also fully equipped, perfectly meeting the needs of the family of four for comfortable living.

However, Qin Tian did not stop there. After settling his accommodation, he immediately began contacting renowned experts at major hospitals in Beijing.

Through his extensive network and tireless efforts, he successfully arranged a comprehensive and detailed physical examination for Naza's father. Every detail was meticulously planned to ensure the smooth running of the entire examination process and to overlook any factors that might affect the diagnostic results.

After a series of rigorous and meticulous examinations, the doctor gave a clear diagnosis—myocardial infarction. Faced with this serious situation, the doctor solemnly proposed a treatment plan: surgery was recommended, and there were two surgical options available: stent placement and coronary artery bypass grafting (commonly known as "bypass").

Fortunately, medical standards have improved significantly, and surgical techniques have become increasingly sophisticated. Against this backdrop, after careful consideration, the patient and their family decided to undergo stent implantation surgery at the renowned Fuwai Hospital in Beijing.

While stent surgery can effectively open blocked blood vessels, long-term anticoagulation therapy is required after the procedure. This means patients must take medications such as Xarelto or aspirin on time and in the prescribed dosage. Despite these measures, the possibility of recurrent myocardial infarction cannot be completely ruled out.

Considering the convenience of follow-up visits, Qin Tian suggested to Nazha's family that they simply stay in Beijing. After all, a check-up at the hospital is required every three months after surgery, and frequent travel between Xinjiang and Beijing would not only be arduous and time-consuming, but could also affect the patient's recovery process.

There were only Naza, her sister, and her mother at home, which highlighted the importance of the man in the family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Naza's family accepted this reasonable suggestion, agreeing not only to arrange surgery immediately but also to settle in Beijing for a period of time to better recover her health.

During this period, Qin Tian dared not slack off in the slightest. He took the initiative to find the attending physician to further understand the details of his condition and expressed that he would spare no effort to ensure the success of the surgery.

Qin Tian insisted on using the most advanced and highest quality surgical instruments, including drug-eluting stents and drug-eluting balloons.

In his view, money is not the primary consideration; as long as the risk of re-entrapment can be minimized, any amount of effort is worthwhile.

Qin Tian busied himself with arranging everything, and even his parents traveled from Northeast China to Beijing to visit Nazha's father. Nazha's family felt the affection Qin Tian's family had for her, and they were much more at ease knowing that Nazha had married into a family in Northeast China. They could also see that Qin Tian truly cared about Nazha.

“Xiao Tian…” Na Zha parted her lips slightly, her eyes flickering as she looked at Qin Tian in front of her, as if a thousand words were stuck in her throat, and for a moment she did not know how to speak.

She pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Xiao Tian, ​​I want to discuss something with you." However, as soon as she spoke, she unconsciously lowered her head, fidgeting nervously with the hem of her clothes, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a little confused, but he still gently encouraged, "Naza, just say what's on your mind. What can't we say to each other?"

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Nazha slowly raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and said with a choked voice, "Xiao Tian, ​​I know that 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' is about to be filmed, but... but I don't want to act anymore. My father's health hasn't been very good lately, and he needs someone to take good care of him. If I start filming, I won't be able to go home for several months, and I really can't bear to leave him!" At this point, Nazha could no longer suppress her sadness, and tears streamed down her cheeks like a burst dam.

Qin Tian quickly reached out and gently wiped away the tears welling up in Naza's eyes, softly comforting her, "Don't cry, don't cry, Naza. I understand how you feel. Dad's health is more important than anything else. Besides, this is just a low-budget movie; it's not a big deal if it's not made. Making money is important, but how can it compare to your father-in-law's health? Don't worry, taking care of Dad is the priority."

Although he said that, Qin Tian was secretly groaning in his heart: "Oh my god, this is really bad! Not only do I have to find a suitable actress to replace Nazha in the role, but I also have to rack my brains to comfort her. But what can I do? I love my wife so much!"

Meanwhile, Li Yitong walked into the recording studio of "Running Man" full of anticipation. As the only female guest present, she immediately attracted everyone's attention upon her arrival.

The crew members were all very warm and friendly, showing great care for this lovely girl. From the beginning until now, Li Yitong's performance has been remarkable. She actively participated in various game segments, interacted frequently with other guests, and demonstrated her lively, cheerful, witty, and intelligent side.

However, a small incident caught the attention of some viewers—Li Yitong looked remarkably similar to another female celebrity, Li Xin. The two shared striking resemblance in facial features, hairstyles, and overall demeanor, to the point that many viewers were confused and found it difficult to distinguish one from the other while watching the show.

Meanwhile, Li Xue was filled with doubt. She couldn't understand why Qin Tian had approached her, or how he had discovered her. What puzzled her most was that Qin Tian had even given her a stage name: Li Yitong.

In Li Xue's opinion, her original name, "Li Xue," was already very pleasant to hear—simple and easy to pronounce. It's just a pity that since joining the company, despite always keeping the mysterious Qin Tian in her heart, she hasn't been able to meet him even once.

This curiosity and yearning for the unknown made Li Xue increasingly attached to Qin Tian.

Little did she know that it was dangerous for a woman to become curious about a man.

. . . .

Because Naza suddenly decided not to participate in the play, Qin Tian was thrown into chaos and had to get busy again to find a new actor to fill the vacancy.

So, he hurriedly dialed Sun Qian's number and said, "Sister Qian, could you ask Fatty Di for the role of Qiu Ya and see if she's interested in playing it?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud, responding with a hint of teasing, "Oh ho, Xiao Tian, ​​why do you always associate with actresses from the Western Regions? As for Nazha, although I wasn't particularly optimistic about it before, since you two are already together, I won't say anything more. But in the blink of an eye, how come it's become Fatty D all of a sudden? I don't want to see you being so fickle!"

Faced with Sun Qian's teasing, Qin Tian was both amused and exasperated, and quickly explained helplessly, "Oh, Sister Qian, please don't misunderstand! I really didn't have any other thoughts, I just think that Fatty Di is quite suitable for this role."

However, Qin Tian was secretly thinking to himself, "Hmph, I'd like to be fickle, but the key is that there have to be girls who are interested in me! Blame the author, if he were willing to give me a different female lead and create a harem, things would be much easier!"

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. When Sun Qian relayed the invitation to Jaywalk Studio, the company behind Dilraba Dilmurat, they were once again rejected without hesitation. After all, for a large company like Jaywalk, their artists are highly sought after.

A small, unknown company like Qin Tian's, producing such a low-budget production, with Dilraba Dilmurat being the most famous person in the cast, would naturally not be easily taken on by them.

Especially since she took over the role of Naza, since both Dilraba and Naza are from the Western Regions, their acting styles would have conflicted.

Now, Qin Tian was truly getting restless and uneasy. Since his rebirth into this world, he had never encountered such frequent and continuous rejections.

But at this moment, Qin Tian seemed to be at a loss, and could only sigh deeply, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential." But it was of no use.

Qin Tian could only silently ponder how to deal with the current predicament.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask Meng Ziyi for help: "I really don't want to get too involved with Meng Ziyi, but unfortunately, my social circle is too small. I really can't find anyone I know."

It's all fate!

As soon as he dialed the number, Meng Ziyi launched into a tirade: "Qin Tian! You finally called me! Do you know how long I've been waiting?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was helpless! Destroy it!

Qin Tian felt guilty and ashamed, so he readily surrendered without arguing: "Ziyi, I have a movie with a second female lead role, and I'll be the producer. Would you like to come? But let me make this clear first, I don't want to lie to you, this role was originally meant for Naza, but a family member is sick, so she can't play it for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile, and she hurriedly replied, "Okay, Qin Tian! Send me the script when you have time!"

That's it?! Qin Tian was stunned. This was far too easy.

As soon as Qin Tian finished speaking, she felt a surge of joy, like a blooming flower, and thought to herself: "Oh dear, wouldn't you say I've helped him in his time of need? If I can help him, it will surely leave a deeper impression on him."

In fact, Meng Ziyi had heard about Qin Tian's plans to film a movie long ago. The news had already spread like wildfire throughout the entire literature department, and everyone knew about it.

When Meng Ziyi first learned of this, she felt a deep pain in her heart and wondered with resentment why no one had come to involve her.

Qin Tian's first script had an investment of a whopping 30 million! You know, many scripts that screenwriters have painstakingly crafted on the market may not even reach 30 million in box office revenue.

Moreover, this script was specifically tailor-made for that little bitch. Given Qin Tian's consistent style of doing things, how could he bear to mistreat Naza?

"Okay, thanks. I'll send the script to your email address in a bit," Qin Tian said after a brief pause.

However, he fell into a brief silence at this moment, because he had keenly sensed Meng Ziyi's deep and sincere affection for him. After all, their friendship had been quietly established during his early, humble days.

"Keep going! This corner will be dug down sooner or later," Meng Ziyi encouraged herself.

Then, Qin Tian briefly communicated the situation with Happy Twist. They still trusted Qin Tian's judgment as always.

Before filming began, all the main creative personnel held a meeting. There were six or seven producers, all of whom were nominally affiliated with China Film Group. To be precise, Qin Tian was also nominally affiliated; he was there to learn.

The one who actually did the work was Director Zhou from China Film Group, who helped fill in any gaps and omissions. Although Chairman Han was about to retire, he still kept his promises very well.

After the communication was completed, we started signing contracts with the actors. Everything was settled. The actors in this film were all newcomers, and the biggest stars were the mentors from The Voice of China.

Because they were just making cameo appearances, they didn't ask for money, only a song from Qin Tian. Qin Tian thought, this is much better than money! The funniest one was Na Ying, who gave him two songs—"Just Once" and "It's Not Easy to Find Someone Who Loves You." Then Na Ying didn't ask for money, even cooperating with the cameo appearance, and even wanted to use her songs as the movie's theme song. Qin Tian hit the jackpot!

However, it's not easy to repay this debt of gratitude!

The actors' overall salaries were very low; most of the money went into set construction. After the contracts were signed, the producers from China Film Group basically left, leaving only Director Zhou to assist Qin Tian and fill in any gaps in his work. Generally, Qin Tian was in charge of everything himself.

During the meeting, Qin Tian suddenly remembered hearing about Shen Teng's inability to remember her lines in his previous life. So he brought it up at the meeting—that Shen Teng always forgot her lines. He proposed, "We must make thorough arrangements in advance to avoid unnecessary delays during the actual filming."

Then, Qin Tian further emphasized: "Since most of you are stage actors and this is your first time venturing into the film industry, you need to plan and practice your positioning and movement in advance. This will ensure that the entire filming process goes smoothly."

After all these matters were properly handled, Meng Ziyi's bright little eyes were fixed on Qin Tian without stopping, her eyes sparkling with admiration, like the bright stars in the night sky.

Only then did she realize that she had seriously underestimated Qin Tian's important position in the crew and the influence he wielded.

Normally, Meng Ziyi is always seen clutching her script tightly. Whenever she encounters a problem or is unsure about something, she always thinks of asking Qin Tian for advice first.

Faced with Meng Ziyi's enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He replied with a wry smile, "Ziyi, you should actually ask the director about this kind of thing. I don't have that much authority to make decisions."

However, although Qin Tian verbally refused, he secretly enjoyed it (men all understand, they like the feeling of being admired, and Ziyi provided plenty of emotional value).

Thus, in the days that followed, even with detailed storyboards as guidance, it was still necessary to have thorough communication and exchanges with the director, art department, and cinematographer before each scene was filmed.

Qin Tian, ​​meanwhile, stood by, observing and learning intently, not missing a single detail. He would sometimes nod slightly in agreement, and at other times fall into deep thought.

Through this period of observation and practice, Qin Tian felt that he had gained a lot. His understanding of plot pacing, composition, and lighting had improved significantly.

It was everyone's first time making a movie, and everyone was a newcomer. Everyone wanted to seize this opportunity, so they prepared with great enthusiasm.

As for the opening ceremony, sorry, there wasn't one! This is a three-nothing production team—no famous director, no famous creators, and no famous actors. The most famous person is the cameo actor, and the most famous creator is Qin Tian, ​​but he's a singer.

If we held a launch event, we would definitely get criticized, which would affect our mindset, so we simply decided not to hold one.

However, Chairman Han still arrived at the scene, made an appearance, and gave an opening speech. This was to show China Film Group's respect for everyone (actually, it was only Qin Tian they valued). A singer who doesn't focus on singing but invests in movies deserves serious attention!

Chairman Han spared no effort in supporting newcomers. Throughout his tenure, he consistently promoted new talent. His most successful support was for Ninghao, while his biggest failure was for Lu Chuan. (Haha, writing entertainment news and criticizing Lu Chuan is politically correct, isn't it!)
