The next day, Qin Mian received a call from the filming crew, telling him to bring Lei Ruilin to participate in the opening ceremony. This was a big day for Lei Ruilin. Qin Mian and his family of four were wearing new clothes together.
Chen Yue's opening ceremony was simple and solemn. He and the assistant director spoke a few words, and after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, everyone paid their respects, and the opening ceremony came to an end.
The Ring is a commercial. The so-called commercial film is a film with the highest purpose of making money at the box office, to cater to the public taste and to enjoy the standard of film. The male lead, Chen Haolong, was also the star of the group, Lin Xiang. Not only did he have handsome facial features, his acting skills were also top-notch. Because Lin Xiang's schedule was tight, the first day was mainly for filming his scenes. It was not yet the time for everyone to fight, but Little Zhou suggested that Lei Ruilin should stay on stage. Firstly, to look for the feeling of acting, and secondly, to learn from his senior's experience of acting.
Lei Ruilin was very willing to accept his suggestion. His straightforward attitude caused all the adults to be extremely fond of him.
Qin Mian, Lei Tia and Qin Ruiqi would stay behind to accompany him.
The Heart Ring was a science fiction film. The story took place in the future world. It was basically about a scientist who, after years of crazy research, discovered an equation that could enhance the intelligence and stamina of humans by tampering with their genes. He stored the equation in a special chip. Due to an accident, the chip fell into the hands of acrobat Chen Haolong. This led to a huge battle between Chen Haolong and some dark organization over the chip. The film will combine a variety of business factors, such as the hit star, famous director, complex special effects, big investment, massive publicity, etc. , can be expected to once again hit a high box office. The number of times a team appeared was not small. According to the number of scenes played, it could be considered as the third male lead in the movie.
The first scene was relatively simple. It was where Chen Haolong and the other members of the acrobatic group were jesting while sparring with each other.
With the guidance from the martial arts director, this scene was quickly over. This was a warm-up exercise.
After all, Lei Ruilin was a child and a newbie. He couldn't get close to the director to watch the recording on the screen. Qin Mian used a spirit art to enlarge the screen, making it look like a projection hanging in the sky. Only he, Lei Tia, Qin Ruiqi and the other three could see it, and it was very clear.
By virtue of his superb acting skills, Lin Xiang did not defy the rules and transformed from an elegant star to a small-time citizen, Chen Haolong. In Lei Ruilin's eyes, it was both novel and admirable.
The second scene was an acrobatic performance by the acrobatic troupe. Because he often received screenplays from different characters, Lin Xiang knew some martial arts techniques, but he was not up to the level of acrobatic performers. Therefore, the real actors on the stage were the double. On the other hand, Lin Xiang sat down to one side to rest. The manager and the assistant all gathered around to take care of him. The broker took out his phone and handed it to him while the assistant passed him a towel and a bottle of water.
Lei Ruilin and his brother whispered into each other's ears.
Nothing happened to Lei Ruilin two days ago. Lei Tia set aside the matter of setting up his business for the time being. Starting from the second day, he would bring Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin to the set.
Qin Mian wanted to investigate what had happened after he teleported from the modern world to the Grand Xia Country. When he had just teleported back to the modern world, he had already impersonated as "Qin Mian's good friend" to call the Qin Family people and confirm that the original him was "unaccounted for" in the modern world. Qin Yongcheng suspected that he had met with an accident outside and had already reported it to the police, but there was no progress in the police investigation up till now.
Qin Mian couldn't help but suspect if Qin Lian had destroyed the corpse of the person who killed him.
Qin Mian no longer cared about the people and matters of the Qin Family. But since the heavens allowed him to return to the modern era, maybe there was some kind of heaven's will behind it. Thinking about how Qin Lian still lived comfortably even after trying to kill him, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. So what if Qin Lian did wrong, he should bear the consequences.
Speaking of which, the matter of Qin Mian's mother and father was actually very vulgar. Qin Mian's mother had gone to a large city to work when he was young, and a seventeen to eighteen year old girl, who was young and naive, had been bewitched by Qin Mian's father, Qin Yongcheng's sweet talk, and had been easily given over to his body and mind.
Qin Family was a big business, but unfortunately, Qin Yongcheng's father, Qin Aiguo's sperm survival rate was low, and he only had one son. The Qin Family was a little weak in the face of a business boom. Qin Yongcheng's father naturally thought of marrying his son into another family. Qin Mian's mother was charming and pure. Qin Yongcheng did indeed have a little love for her and even had the thought of marrying her, but he liked the business of the Qin Family more. After finding out that his marriage target was the Mo family's eldest daughter, he agreed to it without hesitation. When Qin Mian's mother heard the news, he finally saw through Qin Yongcheng's true appearance. He didn't dare to tell him about his pregnancy and secretly left. But in the end, he was still hurt by Qin Yongcheng, and after giving birth to Qin Mian, she died.
Qin Mian grew up beside his grandfather and grandmother. When he was fifteen, his maternal grandfather and grandmother became worse and worse. They were worried and contacted Qin Yongcheng on their own accord. After Qin Yongcheng confirmed that Qin Mian was his biological son, he took him back to the Qin Family.
Not long after Qin Yongcheng and Mo Family's daughter, Mo Fei Fei, got married, they gave birth to a son, Qin Lian. Qin Lian was only one year younger than Qin Mian.
Because Mo Fei Fei had spoiled Qin Lian, Qin Lian's personality was not very good, and Qin Mian had been raised up well by his maternal grandfather and grandmother. He was also Qin Yongcheng's first son, so after Qin Mian returned to the Qin Family, he treated Qin Mian pretty well. However, no one would have thought that as Qin Mian and his wife grew up, Qin Lian's jealousy of Qin Mian grew stronger and stronger, and his wariness towards Qin Mian grew stronger and stronger. He was afraid that Qin Yongcheng would hand over the business of Qin Family to him. In the end, he stretched out his evil hands and pushed Qin Mian down the stairs.
Qin Mian pulled his thoughts away from the memories and drove to the scene of the accident?? the villa that Qin Yongcheng gifted him. The majority of the villas had already been sold to others. He drove away, and arrived near the large building of the Qin Family Clan's Haoyuan Group, to try his luck, and see if he could see Qin Lian, or at least answer to him.
It was a coincidence. After waiting for around three or four minutes, two people walked out from the automatic revolving door on the first floor of the building. The one on the left was dressed in a suit, looking like a dog, with her head held high and her chest puffed up, with a high-spirited look, it was Qin Lian; From the way the two of them occasionally touched their shoulders, it could be seen that there was definitely an ambiguous relationship between them.
Qin Mian smiled meaningfully as he looked at his face in the mirror. It looked exactly the same as his face before. He opened the door and got out of the car, his hands casually inserted into his pockets as he leisurely walked towards Qin Lian.
Qin Lian and Zhan Xiaomi, the two of them, were chatting and laughing. Out of the corner of their eyes, they caught sight of a person who was walking straight towards them, and they cursed him for not having eyes in the first place.
"Qin Mian?"
Qin Mian was still unable to confirm that his original self was indeed 'unaccounted for' and not 'dead', so there was no response. He only stopped and looked at Qin Lian with a smile that was not a smile, and then glanced at Zhan Xiaomi as if he was pointing deeply.
Qin Lian sent Zhan Xiaomei away with a sullen face, and looked at Qin Mian coldly, "Didn't you run away from home? What are you doing back here? "
"You shouldn't be so surprised that I'm back." Seeing that he did not look like he was lying, Qin Mian smiled and patted his shoulder, "Since you dared to push me down the stairs, you should have known that I would come back for revenge one day."
Qin Lian's face changed as he looked around vigilantly."What nonsense are you spouting? It was you who accidentally fell down the stairs! " Back then, he did have plans to get rid of Qin Mian. However, he should have pla ed everything properly before making his move, and not acted rashly. He should have been shocked when he pushed Qin Mian down the stairs, and seeing the blood flowing from Qin Mian's forehead, he was scared out of his wits. When he came back to his senses, it was already morning of the second day. After waiting till night, he decided to check whether Qin Mian was dead or not. After entering the villa, Qin Mian had disappeared completely, even the puddle of blood on the ground had all disappeared without a trace. Even now, when he thought about it, Qin Lian still felt a bit of panic.
Qin Mian did not know about this, but he had a look of understanding."You must have comforted yourself in this way during these past two years, which is why you did not have any nightmares, right?"
"Cut the crap." I still have to guard against Qin Yongcheng's sudden appearance."Qin Lian could not see through his smile, and felt a sense of guilt, and had to guard against Qin Yongcheng's sudden appearance. Even if he tried his best to restrain himself, his fretful emotions were still revealed on his face, " Let me tell you, father has already decided to let me take care of the Qin family.
"Where do you think you are?" Qin Mian replied ambiguously, "Give me your number and his."
Qin Lian was very clear that if Qin Mian insisted on contacting him, it would be impossible for him to stop him, so he could only give him his number.
"What are you trying to do?"
"What is it? Not confident in yourself? " Qin Mian teased. The phone in his pocket rang, the caller ID showed "Big Face Paralysis". His lips curled up into a warm smile, "Tia?? Me? Outside, I met an 'old friend' and we chatted casually?? How did Ruilin perform? Good... I'll go back now."
After finishing the call, he leisurely waved his hand at Qin Lian, "I have to go first. We'll have a meal together another day."
Qin Lian's face was gloomy like water, he coldly watched as he got on the car and drove further and further away.
"Ding ding dong??"
His phone's ringtone sounded. Qin Lian took a look at his phone and a suitable smile quickly appeared on his cold face."Young Master Yue, how come you're free to call me today?"
"What's Young Master Liu's plan for next month's birthday?" Yue Xiangkui's voice was sloppy.
Qin Lian laughed bitterly, a trace of contempt appeared in the bottom of his eyes, but his tone was still very gentle, "Young Master Liu is not an easy person to serve. For the time being, I don't have any leads on this matter.
"Alright, let's go to the old place."
Qin Lian quickly got on the car and slammed the door. The car sped off, leaving only a cloud of exhaust.
