MTL - After The Actor Made a Match For Me, He Died Out of Jealousy-Chapter 6

Cheng Qinghua has been very distressed recently. His new movie is about to start shooting, but since the male lead has not yet been found, the progress has to be temporarily put on hold.

Due to the good reputation and box office of his last film, this time the film has not yet started shooting and has already received sponsorship from many investors.

With the audience relationship accumulated in the previous movie, after his new movie is released, as long as the quality of the content is not too bad, the box office will not be less.

With this guarantee, investors will naturally flock to it.

But he didn't get it all. Now he is no longer the time when he needs to ask for help, and some employers will put people in the movie.

Cheng Qinghua is the most taboo of this kind of thing. In his opinion, it is irresponsible for the film, especially his own film, so he refused a lot of money.

However, the progress of the movie was stuck in the selection of the male lead.

Cheng Qinghua had seen many profiles of male actors, but none of them satisfied him, and the person recommended by the management was even more unsuitable.

He wrote the script for this film for nearly two years, during which time it was repeated and edited, especially the male lead.

Because when he was writing the male protagonist, he actually entered Qin Lu.

It's just that when the first movie was successful, some people said that his success was standing on Qin Lu's shoulders. If Qin Lu didn't appear, this movie might not have achieved a single achievement.

Cheng Qinghua proved this, and decided not to ask Qin Lu to be the protagonist in the next movie, but when he changed it, he found that the background and framework of the character he established, if not for Qin Lu, he would have a script. It doesn't feel perfect.

Cheng Qinghua is a person who pursues perfection. When he knows that he can be perfect, he deliberately wants to shoot a defective product, which makes him unacceptable.

In the end, he went to Qin Lu again. As for those who said he depended on Qin Lu to succeed, let them die.

What he didn't expect was that Qin Lu rejected him without even thinking about it.

At first he thought that Qin Lu didn't like to work with the same director all the time, he preferred challenging ones.

But he also thought that Qin Lu had worked with the same director two or three times a few years ago.

For his own movie, Cheng Qinghua went to Qin Lu several times. After he repeatedly asked him, his agent told him that Qin Lu planned to quit the circle.

Qin Lu has not received a new script for more than a year. It is not that there is no news on the Internet that he is going to retire, but since he himself has not expressed his position, many people think it is a rumor.

Cheng Qinghua also thought it was a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Qin Lu made his debut at the age of 20 and has been in the entertainment industry for 10 years, during which he won numerous awards. Although he has already stood at a height beyond the reach of many people, he is only 30 years old now.

This age may be just the beginning for many people in the entertainment industry who are chasing their dreams.

Just when Cheng Qinghua couldn't figure it out, he suddenly received a call from Qin Lu's agent, saying that Qin Lu wanted to invite him to dinner.

Cheng Qinghua thought that Qin Lu had changed his mind, and when the appointed time came, he rushed over immediately.

When he arrived at the destination, he saw Qin Lu's agent standing outside, probably waiting for him.

Cheng Qinghua immediately stepped forward to greet him, very easy-going, without the air of the most popular young director.

But when he got closer, he saw Qin Lu's agent was looking at him with a complicated expression, and he seemed to see a hint of sympathy?

Cheng Qinghua was confused, "Mr. Zhou, is there something on my face?"

The agent shook his head, "No."

"Then why are you looking at me like this? Could it be..." Cheng Qinghua paused and suddenly thought of a bad possibility, "Isn't Qin Lu looking for me to talk about the new movie?"

The agent had to say that Director Cheng's senses were very keen. He didn't say anything, the other party guessed it by himself, "Director Cheng will know when he goes in."

It's not good for the agent to reveal Qin Lu's purpose now. If he scare people away, he can't take the responsibility.

He refused to say it explicitly, and Cheng Qinghua didn't ask any more questions. Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to the box where Qin Lu was.

The waiter opened the door, Cheng Qinghua walked in and saw Qin Lu was already sitting inside.

I don't know why, but the moment he saw him, he had a strange premonition in his heart.

If Qin Lu wasn't looking for himself for the movie, what else could be the reason, apart from the movie, they didn't have any other special intersection.

"You're not planning to withdraw your capital, are you?"

Cheng Qinghua blurted out.

Qin Lu: "Huh?"

When Cheng Qinghua made his first movie, because he was a rookie director, he didn't have any work and no experience, so he ran into obstacles everywhere when he was pulling investment.

Later, he tried to send his script to Qin Lu, but Qin Lu not only agreed to play the leading role after reading it, but also invested a lot of money.

No one knew at first, but after the movie exploded, some people discovered that Qin Lu was not only the protagonist, but also the biggest investor in the movie.

The movie not only made his fame soar again, but also helped him earn a lot of money.

For Cheng Qinghua, Qin Lu is undoubtedly a very qualified actor and investor. Although he has investment, he never intervenes in casting, so when Cheng Qinghua raised funds for his second film, he was the first What comes to mind is Qin Lu.

Qin Lu is also a businessman, so he invested in Cheng Qinghua's script after seeing that it was good.

Cheng Qinghua felt that if Qin Lu was not looking for him to talk about the male protagonist, it could only be for investment.

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Qin Lu shook his head and said, "I won't withdraw my capital. This time I asked Cheng Dao to come here for other things, so I'll sit down and talk."

Cheng Qinghua was relieved. If Qin Lu withdraws his capital, he will have to find another investor. This is not the point. The point is that if he finds someone who likes to point fingers, it will be a hassle.

"As long as you don't divest, everything is easy to say." Cheng Qinghua said happily, "Of course, it would be even better if you promised to be the hero of my new movie."

Qin Lu said, "I won't pick up a new script in the future."

Cheng Qinghua listened to him so affirmatively, and said suspiciously: "Your agent said that you are going to retire, I don't quite understand, you are still so young, why do you have to choose to retire at this time, just because you have already won all the awards ?"

Qin Lu: "It has nothing to do with this, there are some things that must be done."

Cheng Qinghua: "Something?"

Qin Lu took a sip of tea, "For example, inheriting the family business."

Cheng Qinghua: "…"

He felt that he shouldn't have asked this sentence too much.

There are indeed rumors in the circle that Qin Lu is a rich second-generation, but it has not been confirmed, and because of this, everyone speculates that Qin Lu's family background is not simple, otherwise it would have been picked up long ago.

Now that he heard his own admission, Cheng Qinghua suddenly felt like he was at the forefront of eating melons.

Qin Lu: "Speaking of business, I came to you this time because there is one thing I want to confirm with you."

Cheng Qinghua: "What's the matter?"

Qin Lu: "Are you gay?"

Cheng Qinghua: "…"

broker:"…"

Cheng Qinghua was a little speechless: "What does it have to do with you if I am gay?"

Qin Lu: "It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with your blind date."

Cheng Qinghua was even more speechless: "What blind date partner, when will I have a blind date partner?"

Qin Lu: "starting today, do you mind if your blind date is a man?"

Cheng Qinghua was confused by what he said: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The agent couldn't stand it any longer, "Director Cheng, it's like this. Brother Qin has been very interested in being a matchmaker recently, so I want to introduce you to someone."

Cheng Qinghua couldn't help looking up and down at Qin Lu: "Are you full?"

Qin Lu frowned: "I'm serious."

Cheng Qinghua: "I think you were taken away seriously."

The agent said that it was difficult to disagree, and he also felt that Brother Qin was taken away.

ten minutes later.

Knowing the cause and effect, Cheng Qinghua looked at Qin Lu in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the youngest actor in the entertainment industry had to change his career to become a matchmaker.

Although it is to repay the kindness of others, but with Qin Lu's ability, giving a sum of money is much easier and simpler than being a matchmaker.

"So you heard rumors that I was gay, so you wanted to introduce me to your benefactor's little brother on a blind date, right?" Cheng Qinghua asked.

Qin Lu looked at the agent.

The agent immediately looked up at the sky, but if he couldn't look at the sky, he looked at the top of the box.

Cheng Qinghua snorted coldly: "How can the rumors in the entertainment industry be taken seriously."

Qin Lu: "So you don't like men?"

Cheng Qinghua: "It's alright."

broker:"…"

Does your conscience hurt!

Qin Lu's reaction was much calmer: "What about a blind date?"

Cheng Qinghua: "Conditional."

Qin Lu: "Speak."

Cheng Qinghua: "You will retire after you finish my film."

Qin Lu stared at him expressionlessly.

Cheng Qinghua: "This is actually not a bad thing for you, and you haven't announced your retirement yet. I think it will be more perfect if you consider my movie as your last."

Cheng Qinghua was afraid that these words were not convincing enough, and added: "You should really like acting, otherwise, it will not last ten years since your debut."

Looking at the films that Qin Lu has acted in since his debut, he can see his progress in almost every film. It is precisely because he focuses on improving his acting skills that it shows that he really loves acting and loves this. one line.

"Also, you have made a lot of investments over the years and have made a lot of money. Inheriting the family business should be just the icing on the cake for you. Are you willing to give up the career you love in order to inherit the family business?"

Cheng Qinghua didn't feel like he was joking at all, but he heard this in the ears of Qin Lu's manager who knew the truth. He felt that if there was a 100 billion group for him to inherit, he would be willing to give up the career he loves .

"I expect that this movie will only take three to four months to shoot. Even if you want to retire, you should have three or four months." Cheng Qinghua added under Qin Lu's direct gaze, "...retire again. It is also within reach.”

"I will consider."

After Qin Lu finished speaking, Cheng Qinghua's eyes suddenly lit up.

If he hadn't wavered, he certainly wouldn't have said consider it.

Although the time the two knew each other only stemmed from his first movie, it was enough for him to understand Qin Lu. If he wanted to reject someone, he would never say such words with room for negotiation. He would not hesitate. veto.

"Then think about it slowly, and be careful. I'm not in a hurry now." Cheng Qinghua was in a beautiful mood, and he now had his back.

After dinner, the manager sent Cheng Qinghua, who was windy under his feet, away. When he returned to the box, he saw Qin Lu was looking at his mobile phone. In his selfishness, of course, he hoped that Qin Lu would not retire.

"Brother Qin, I think Director Cheng seems to be right..."

The agent approached while talking, and glanced at the screen of the mobile phone inadvertently, because his eyesight was too good.

He actually saw Brother Qin open Thousand Degrees Search and was asking a question.

- How to be a good matchmaker?

broker:"???"

Are you serious, brother?

Thousand degrees is a good place, and I searched it out at once.

Qin Lu was reading these words with a serious look on the report.

After a while he said: "I almost forgot one thing, you asked Cheng Qinghua to send a selfie first, preferably the whole body, and let him do a self-introduction, I want to know all his information first, online Said that to be a good matchmaker, you must first understand the information of both parties."

Broker is dead.

He took out his mobile phone and called Cheng Qinghua, telling him Qin Lu's request.

Cheng Qinghua over the phone was very happy, and the manager could hear him unable to control his laughter.

As if afraid of Qin Lu's repentance, but within two minutes, Cheng Qinghua directly sent his personal information to Qin Lu's WeChat, and asked him if he had considered it.

Qin Lu didn't reply, he forwarded the personal information sent by Cheng Qinghua to Jiang Liucheng.

A few seconds later, Jiang Liucheng replied with three question marks.

Qin: The first blind date I chose is his personal information. You can see how it goes. If you think you can try it, I will ask him out to meet.

Jiang Liucheng was cleaning when he received the message. The chat between him and Qin Lu was still stuck in the message that they were friends when they just added WeChat. This was the first time the two chatted.

Jiang Liucheng stared at the photo he sent. The man in the photo had a small beard, but he could see that he was not very old.

Looking at the other party's self-introduction, he already knew who the man in the photo was. He had also watched the movie directed by the other party, and Qin Lu was still the starring role.

I'm serious: are you serious?

Qin: What's the problem?

I'm serious: I just feel that the status is a bit different.

Qin: Do you think I might introduce such a bad person to you?

Jiang Liucheng stared at this sentence, for some reason, he had something different from the Qin Lu he saw on TV.

I'm serious: the other party agreed?

Qin: Don't think about him, as long as you think you can.

I'm serious: it's okay to meet first.

Qin: Good.

Qin Lu replied to Cheng Qinghua after talking with Jiang Liucheng, asking him to meet Jiang Liucheng first, and if he was sure that he could continue to contact him, he would agree.

Of course Cheng Qinghua agreed, not to mention seeing one side, both sides, and even wished to meet sooner, after all, his movie was still delayed.

Qin Lu sent Jiang Liucheng the time and place of the meeting.

The next morning, Jiang Liucheng went out with a backpack to attach an appointment.

Guo Qifan came out to wash and saw that he was about to go out, "Going out so early?"

Jiang Liucheng: "Well, let's go on a blind date."

Guo Qifan: "Your new matchmaker is fast enough to introduce you in just a few days."

Jiang Liucheng also felt that Qin Lu's movements were fast, after all, the other party should be a busy person.

"Let's go, see you later."

"Come back and tell me about the progress."
