Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 7: Following the cast (thanks to the leader of Vinegar Eats Fish)

Just half a month after arriving in Beijing, Qin Chuan packed his luggage and headed for Dali again. This time, he had a guitar in his possession.

The green train journey is very long, taking more than thirty hours, and it goes almost all the way from the north to the southernmost part, spanning most of China.

After finding a seat and putting his luggage away, he took out his guitar and practiced. His fingering technique was very average, which made the fellow passenger in the car frown frequently, wanting to scold him but not daring to.

If Huang Bo were here, he would definitely be surprised, because when he was teaching Qin Chuan last night, his musical talent was not something that could be described in ordinary terms.

That just sucks.

After just one night of practice, he had reached a general level. This speed of progress was comparable to that of riding a rocket.

At night, regardless of other people's surprised looks, Qin Chuan slept on the train wearing the Nuo costume. The next day, a brother on the same train found that Qin Chuan's guitar playing had improved a lot.

Yesterday I played children's songs like Two Tigers, and today I played Country Road. My fingering has become much more sophisticated.

He suspected that Qin Chuan was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, preparing to make a big one for the people in the carriage.

Tomorrow I will have my grandmother’s Penghu Bay, and you, my deskmate, will shock everyone.

Unfortunately, he didn't see Qin Chuan showing off.

Because Qin Chuan got off the bus.

My brother is feeling uncomfortable.

We have arrived in Dali.

After taking a motorcycle taxi for more than half an hour, Qin Chuan arrived at Cangshan Scenic Area, found a small store, took out the note given by Huang Bo, and called the number on it.

No one picked up the first time.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, Qin Chuan called for the second time, and this time the call was connected within a few seconds.

"Hello, who is it?"

I guess he did not answer the first time out of caution, but answered the second time.

Judging from the voice, the other person is not very old, a man in his thirties.

Just by listening to the voice, Qin Chuan's mind already appeared Xu Zhu's cowardly look.

"Hello, my name is Qin Chuan, I'm the actor introduced by Huang Bo. He called you yesterday."

Qin Chuan tried to explain his purpose in the shortest possible words.

"Yes, I know. We are here, right?"

"Yes, I just arrived at Cangshan."

"There's a Dujuan Hotel nearby. Go wait there. I'll ask my assistant to find you."

"Okay bro."

There is also an assistant. Sure enough, it is the same as Qin Chuan thought, it is that person.

But it seems that the other party doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

Qin Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief, as he was also afraid of being associated with the other party.

You can't hug this thigh.

After paying one dollar for the phone bill, Qin Chuan asked the owner of the convenience store about the Dujuan Hotel and spent another two dollars on a motorcycle taxi.

When we arrived at the hotel entrance, we waited for four hours.

It was getting dark and my stomach was growling with hunger. A Jinbei car stopped on the side of the road and a woman with long straight black hair and a cross-body bag got out.

A brown shirt, flared pants and flat leather shoes, the outfit is very trendy.

He looks to be around 25 or 26 years old, but Qin Chuan estimates that he is actually in his late 30s.

After getting off the car, the woman walked straight to the hotel. After entering, she said a few words to the front desk clerk. The front desk clerk pointed at Qin Chuan outside. She curled her lips and walked out again.

"Are you Qin Chuan?"

Qin Chuan patted his butt and stood up: "It's me."

"Follow me." The woman walked in front and led Qin Chuan to the hotel front desk: "Give me your ID card."

While helping to check in at the front desk, she quickly said, "This is where the actors and staff of the group live. You will live here for the next period of time."

"Your job is to follow the actors in the group and have the same schedule as everyone else. You get up when they get up and leave when they leave." "Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Qin Chuan nodded heavily.

As expected, it’s impossible to make it in the entertainment industry without some connections and background.

You can only earn 25 yuan a day working hard at the Beijing Film Studio, but this is what you get every day. Many people are vying for this job.

Here it was just a casual remark from someone else, and he did the work of an actor in the group.

He had inquired before coming, and learned that as an actor in the crew, he was considered half a staff member, and could play many roles. It was easy for him to earn several thousand yuan a month, and if he was lucky, earning over ten thousand yuan a month was not a dream.

It’s many times more than being an extra.

"Hello, your room is 206, here is the key."

While the two were talking, the front desk had completed the registration and assigned a room to Qin Chuan.

The female assistant said calmly, "The crew will reimburse your accommodation, and the food is free on the crew. You can take a rest today, and go to the crew tomorrow to find Director Wang to arrange the specific work. We have already informed him."

After saying that, the woman turned around and left, got into a Jinbei car on the side of the road and drove away. The whole process, from getting off the car to getting back on, took three minutes.

She never introduced herself until she left.

To put it bluntly, Qin Chuan is just a minor character, and she is not worth paying attention to such a complicated relationship.

Qin Chuan didn't think that the other person was arrogant. He had no relatives or friends, so it was good enough that he could introduce him to a job.

In reality, good friends may not be so nice to you. There are many people who dislike you for being poor and are afraid of you being rich.

Holding the key, he came to the room.

He thought it was a single room, but it turned out to be a double room.

Besides him, the other bed was already occupied, and the room was piled with large and small luggage.

At night, the other owner of the room came back.

He is a middle-aged uncle who is responsible for the stunt double of the crew.

The two chatted briefly for a few sentences and then fell silent until Qin Chuan took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to him. Only then did a smile appear on the uncle's tired face.

Through the friendly conversation that followed, he learned that the uncle's name was Zhou Haopeng, who used to sing the role of a martial artist in Peking Opera, but later changed his career to become a stunt double. He has been in the industry for eight years and has now earned enough to buy a house.

On the bed, Zhou Haopeng smoked with his bare chest: "You are really good, you can join the crew after the filming started for more than half a month, who is following your lead?"

Qin Chuan opened his mouth and said, "No one, just a relative from my hometown."

Zhou Haopeng: "Your relatives are quite powerful."

Qin Chuan smiled honestly: "Not bad, he plays the third male role in the crew."

When he is out and about, he is very clear about what he can do to show off his talents. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to be a little high-profile.

Without background and connections, you will only be bullied.

Zhou Haopeng's expression was visibly softened. "It's not easy to be away from home. If you have any questions on the set, just ask me."

Qin Chuan said shyly: "Then I'll trouble Brother Peng."

"What's the problem? It's only natural to help each other when we're out and about."

As he said this, he returned the cigarette.

Qin Chuan didn't answer: "Brother, keep it. I don't smoke."

"Take it. There are a lot of people on the crew. If you don't smoke, there are plenty of people who do. Just give a couple of cigarettes and the journey will be much easier."

"By the way, have you eaten yet? If not, I'll take you out for a meal. The barbecue here is pretty good."

"Okay, I didn't eat."

On the first day in Dali, Qin Chuan met his first friend and had a free meal.

PS: The new book period is so difficult. For each book, I have to start from scratch almost like a new author. It’s the end of the month now, so please vote if you have a vote.

Thanks to the leader of the vinegar-eating-fish alliance.

I understand the rules. I'll arrange for Mr. Zhou to come right away.
