Chapter 123: The Same Family Is Still a Loyal Person (Ch 123)

In the video, Qin Hao held the phone in one hand and said with a relaxed look,

“A lot of friends just sent me a video and asked me if it was true. I’m going to give a formal response here.

It is indeed true, Qi Jia is excellent, his understanding of the script, acting skills and lines are very good!

I don’t think it’s shameful to lose to him. After all, there is no order of learning, and the one who achieves the most comes first.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again next time.”

The video ended here. After watching the video, netizens rushed to the comment section to leave messages.

“Oh my god! It shocked me like six nuclear bombs! It’s actually true.”

“Did you see clearly, little black guys? Our Qi Jia’s acting skills have been personally recognized by Teacher Qin Hao.”

“You have a great vision, you are worthy of being a senior! Like +10086.”

“Brother Qin, can you tell me which drama it is? I’m itching to watch it~”

“Are you itchy? Come to Shuishanfang tonight and I’ll help you scratch it. Remember my work number is 86 [heart]”

“Damn, there are still people who can do this!”

Qi Jia returned the phone to the assistant and sighed.

“Brother Qin really has a broad mind and a big heart!”

Chen Yuwen said at the side,

“In that case, you have to respond.”

Qi Jia nodded, and when the car arrived at the destination, there happened to be a small park next to it.

After the three of them found a place where there were not many people, they began to record a video for Qi Jia.

“After acting with Brother Qin this morning, I gained a lot and I sincerely admire his acting skills and vision.

I feel that I still have a lot to learn from experienced seniors like Brother Qin.

For this audition, I think it is not so much about winning or losing, but rather the task that Brother Qin left for me.

It motivates me to play the role well and bring an excellent work to all the audiences.”

After the recording was completed, it was handed over to the assistant for editing and then posted.

Not long after the post was published, the background kept receiving new message reminders.

“Damn it, buddy, you’re from Shandong Province, right? If you’re so good at talking, why don’t you take the civil service exam?”

“Look at this little mouth, it’s as if it was covered with honey. No wonder Qin Hao said he was convinced.”

“Support Qi Jia and look forward to your new work!”

“So, what TV show is it? Can you tell me the name? I’m itching to watch it~”

“Are you itchy? Come to Shuishanfang tonight and I’ll help you scratch it. Remember my work number is 86 [heart]”

“The world is really going downhill, people’s hearts are no longer the same as before, where is the morality, where is the courtesy, where is the integrity, where is the contact information?”

“Damn it, you idiot, I’ve been watching you for a long time, and you’re really everywhere!”

…

Let me talk about two things.

In Qin Hao’s studio in Beijing, his agent was complaining that Qin Hao shouldn’t have responded to the online rumors like that.

By doing this, wouldn’t it be a waste of money for Qi Jia and the crew?

Qin Hao was lying on the sofa, scrolling through his phone, not paying any attention to his agent’s complaints.

Suddenly, he saw a video. After watching it carefully, he smiled.

“Take a look at this video.”

He handed the phone screen to his agent, and Qi Jia’s voice came from the phone.

Fifteen seconds later, the video ended. The agent was silent for a long time before he said with emotion,

“Qi Jia is still a loyal and honest person~”

On the other side, after sending the video, the three of them came to the supervisor’s office.

After exchanging pleasantries, Director Guan took out a script and handed it to Qi Jia.

“Come and take a look at this character called Daozi. Although he is a supporting role, he has quite a few scenes and lines in the movie.”

Qi Jia thanked him immediately, took it with both hands, and read it carefully.

Guan Hu didn’t disturb him, but smoked a cigarette and looked at the young man he met for the second time with interest.

To be honest, he was reluctant to give the role of Daozi to Qi Jia at first, for the reason he said.

Daozi has quite a few scenes and lines, and his friendship with Qi Jia is not that deep, although it was Chen Baoguo who asked for it.

But he originally thought that he would just give him a supporting role with one or two lines and just deal with it.

The reason why I am so generous now is entirely because Director Xin mentioned it unintentionally when we were chatting this morning.

At the audition, San Ye was very satisfied with Qi Jia, and mentioned him several times during subsequent meetings with investors.

This is the reason why Guan Hu was willing to give this role to Qi Jia.

In the movie, Daozi was originally a gangster on the beach. Later, the war broke out.

The scene of the martyrs who were not afraid of sacrifice deeply moved him, so he resolutely chose to sacrifice his life for justice and signed up to join the death squad.

In the end, he successfully delivered the telephone line to the other side of the bridge at the cost of his life, but he himself fell on the bridge.

About twenty minutes later, Qi Jia put down the script.

“How does it feel?”

Guan Hu put out his cigarette and asked with a smile,

Qi Jia considered his words and said,

“It’s a good role, but Director Guan, I also want to see those famous historical martyrs you mentioned before.”

“Oh, it seems you have your own ideas.”

Director Guan was a little surprised, smiled and said something, but didn’t care, and took out another script and handed it to Qi Jia.

“These are real martyrs in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, but they have very few roles and lines.”

“Thank you, Director.”

Qi Jia took it with both hands and said sincerely,

I opened the script and saw five character profiles. They all had very few lines and roles.

So all five characters are put into one script and there is no need to separate them separately.

Qi Jia read them one by one, and when he saw the last one, his eyes lit up.

The character’s name is Chen Shusheng, and he is the deputy squad leader of the 4th Squad, 2nd Company, 2nd Platoon, 1st Battalion, 524th Regiment, 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

There is a sentence in his profile that says,

“Chen Shusheng, with grenades tied all over his body, jumped from the warehouse and died with the Japanese army. He was only 21 years old. Before his death, he wrote in blood on a white sweatshirt, ‘Sacrifice your life for justice, this is what I wish for!’ and left it to his old mother. No photos were left after his death.”

Sacrificing one’s life for justice is what I wish for!

These eight characters kept hitting Qi Jia’s eyes, shocking him so much that his scalp went numb.

He made a decision immediately, pointed at the name, and said to Director Guan,

“Director, I want to play Chen Shusheng!”

Oh~ Director Guan was a little surprised. As a director, he naturally knew the role of Chen Shusheng.

Although they are real people, they don’t have many scenes or lines.

He really didn’t expect that Qi Jia would give up the role of Daozi and choose Chen Shusheng.

“Have you really decided?”

Guan Hu asked uncertainly,

Qi Jia did not hesitate and said firmly,

“I am very sure. If possible, please give me this role. I can play it for free!”

Zero pay! This sentence once again refreshed Guan Hu’s opinion of Qi Jia.

With Qi Jia’s current status, he can still say something like acting for free. It can be imagined how much he loves acting.

Interesting boy, it seems that he is really different from those popular artists,

Guan Hu looked at Qi Jia with interest, and at the same time, he couldn’t help feeling a little proud.

In order to play a supporting role in his crew, a popular artist actually offered to perform for free.

No matter how you look at it, it is something to be proud of when you tell others about it.

“Hahaha, since you like it, then this role is for you.”

“Of course, zero pay is definitely not an option. I’ll let your agent discuss the specific amount later.”

Guan Hu waved his hand and agreed to Qi Jia’s request.

“Thank you, Director~”

Qi Jia was very considerate and poured a cup of tea for Director Guan, and said sincerely,

…

At 4:45 pm, the three of them left the director’s studio with the contract for 800 yuan.

It was finally confirmed that Qi Jia’s pay for the role was 500,000 yuan, and he would be on the set for seven days, and the crew would start filming on February 20 next year.

7pm,

After finishing all the matters concerning their trip to Beijing, the three of them arrived at the Beijing Airport and then separated in the terminal hall.

Half an hour later,

Chen Yuwen flew back to Shanghai alone, while Qi Jia flew to Xinjiang with his assistant.
