The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 416: Official announcement, it’s a movie character’s official announcement.
Chapter 416
Qiao Sixiao went to answer the phone and kept talking until her roommate finished cooking dinner, but she didn't continue talking because Qin Wei came out of the kitchen with a tray of food, so she hung up the phone and then went to the kitchen to help bring out other things.
"Aren't you going to ask me what she was talking to me about?"
As soon as Qin Wei came out, she started eating. She also turned on the projector to pick out an animated film to watch. As a result, little Qiao couldn't help but ask her.
"She asked if you wanted to act in a movie. You said you did or you didn't."
Qin Wei said, seeming to have little interest in this.
"From when you asked me about Chen Xinya, I already roughly knew what you were hesitating about. It seems Director Yuan is quite capable to have persuaded you. I actually hope you'll go, but as for the final arrangements, that still depends on Heyi's arrangements. Does Her Majesty allow you to make the decision?"
Qiao Sixiao snorted:
"How interesting. This time she told me to decide for myself. That's exactly what she said when I was on the phone with her just now."
Qin Wei rubbed her eyebrows and held out her hands to her:
"Why did you have to use my phone? Then give me back the phone bill - fifty yuan."
"..."
...
A few days later, the movie roles were basically finalized and started being officially announced online, attracting a lot of attention——
【Movie Duel:#MovieDuel official announcement# Unlocking roles——Gong Lan (@Qiao Sixiao plays)】
【Movie Duel:#MovieDuel official announcement# Unlocking roles —— Lin Cong (@Pioneer_Li Hanming plays)】
【Movie Duel:#MovieDuel official announcement# Unlocking roles——Lu Wei (@Su Yangyoung plays)】
Plus Qin Wei’s Zhao Yu, the most important few roles have been determined, and other roles will also be made public one by one afterwards.
Qin Wei also just found out about this lineup and couldn't help exclaiming:
"Oh my, Empress Zetian is really amazing. She can always buy one get one free and snatched a role for Su Yang.
When casting Lu Wei, I went to take a look. It was obvious that Director Yuan favored a new male actor! "
Qiao Sixiao ignored her.
Qin Wei went on to say:
"Nineteen years old, one meter eighty-eight, graduate from a sports school, wheat skin color, very handsome, dazzling when he smiles, white neat teeth."
"Mm."
"Eight-pack abs, big pectoral muscles, and able to flex them!"
At this, Qiao Sixiao turned to look at her.
Qin Wei continued:
"Director Yuan asked him if he had any other advantages. He said he would give his all for art, and then showed everyone his muscles and started dancing.
You weren't there to see Director Yuan's eyes smile into little crescent moons, smiling delightedly the whole time. She's usually very serious when people show their advantages, but only exceptionally so for him... Oh my god, I didn't know Director Yuan was into that!
Compared to him, Su Yang is clearly the opposite kind of frail, beautiful boy. If it wasn't for Her Majesty the Great Saint Empress insisting on bundling you two to give to Director Yuan as a family bucket, maybe that sports school student would have joined the crew..."
Qiao Sixiao also sighed:
"What a pity, we almost got to see him in the crew."
Qin Wei nodded:
"Right."
Qiao Sixiao said:
"It would have been nice to get his contact information..."
Qin Wei nodded:
"Let's...not ask for it. That wouldn't be good."
Little Qiao nodded:
"Let's get back to work. It won't be long before we enter the crew. I still have work every day and need to use all my time to improve my physical fitness.
Movies have really long shooting cycles and the work is grueling. The requirements are different from TV series, with a much higher standard.
I’ve had the chance to make cameo appearances a couple of times, usually just one or two days and then I’d leave, but leads are different. Leads are on set almost every day, and have to travel to many places in order to achieve the texture the director wants. It's possible we may have to stay deep in the mountains and wilderness for ten days or half a month...
Also, after it hits theaters, the main creative team has to travel all over the country with the crew on tour. I'm telling you, if it wasn't for...
Director Yuan's enthusiastic invitation and asking me three times, I really didn't want to act. It's too tiring."
It seems she was truly tired. Otherwise, she seldom complains so much.
...
So in the following week, Li Yao also tried to reduce work arrangements as much as possible. Apart from a few offline events and classes, Qin Wei spent the rest of her time with Song Huan doing specialized physical training.
Of course this wasn't voluntary work for Song Huan either. Qin Wei also spent money to arrange the best accommodation and food for her, buying her whatever she wanted to eat and drink, allowing her to enjoy the kind of carefree life of eating and drinking whatever she desired.
Having Song Huan arrange physical training meant there would be suffering. Although she would scientifically and reasonably arrange the training tasks, executing them would still make one feel they couldn't take it. But the results were very effective. If one could persist with it afterwards, their physical fitness would gradually improve.
Compared to military training, some simple basic training was no longer difficult for her now. Every day she just needed Song Huan to watch while she completed it herself.
After sprinting and jumping over the edge to climb out of the trench, Qin Wei looked at the four hundred meter track, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and asked Song Huan:
"How was it?"
Song Huan walked over and threw her a bottle of water:
"How old are you? Do you still need me to praise you?"
Qin Wei took a few gulps from the unscrewed bottle and said to Song Huan:
"It doesn’t feel much usually, but after running two laps, I feel quite good about myself. But it's still not one-ten thousandth of what you all can do, right?
I'm a little curious, is everyone in your unit extremely capable? What level of top Gods can be your colleagues?"
"Don't underestimate yourself."
Song Huan nodded,
"The intensity is a bit higher. For example, your two laps here, double that, and that's our warm-up. But it's not devil training every day either."
Qin Wei was a bit surprised. After all, she had only been with Song Huan and hadn’t personally seen how “the unit” she talked about actually trained.
Abiding by discipline, Song Huan decided to enlighten Qin Wei:
"The physical training in our unit is certainly stronger than in other brother units, and we have more tasks to execute, but it's not as exaggerated as the outside world imagines.
It's like the International Hunter School in the movie Amazon, although superiors will benchmark against the Hunter School and carry out high-intensity training irregularly, most of the time the pressure is not that great, or maybe we get used to it after a long time?
Honestly, I don't know about other units. I can only talk about ours. There are plenty of people more physically fit than us. As for fighting skills, we may not necessarily be the best either, but our unit requires comprehensive improvement of overall quality, especially psychological quality."
Song Huan smiled, perhaps in a good mood, and she unusually talked about her past:
"I was an ordinary sports school student who won some championships. My college entrance exam scores ranked in the top few in the province. After entering military academy, I felt so tired and thought that after graduating, I would stay at the academy to be a teacher.
Later, through a twist of fate, I went to my current unit and it was even more tiring... Physical training was still alright to talk about, but the psychological training really...
Let me put it this way. During your military training, I was only a little stricter, but still received so many complaints. But I want to say, that was nothing. You guys are too fragile. Afterwards, Old Deng even advised me. He said most of you don't need such strong minds. When facing setbacks in academics and careers, staying optimistic and not giving up will do. I thought about it and that was reasonable, so I stopped making such demands.
Whereas for our psychological quality training, it often starts by crushing someone's mind, then rebuilding it, then crushing it again until impregnable, because what we face are captivity, sacrifice of teammates, natural disasters, man-made catastrophes, life and death."
