Chapter 78 Can It Be Published?
In the lounge, Meng Chao pressed Lin Qin down and gave him a fiery kiss, kissing him until he was almost breathless before he finally let go.
Then pinching his red earlobe, couldn’t help but tease, “How long has it been, you still don’t know to breathe during a kiss?”
Lin Qin retorted back on a whisper, “It’s you who kissed me for too long!”
He looked at Meng Chao, his pair of eyes wet from the intense kiss, looking as if he had been ravaged thoroughly. If it weren’t for the fact they were on a film set, Meng Chao would have definitely taken things further right then and there.
Lin Qin also understood Meng Chao very well, and so seeing the look in his eyes, knew what he was thinking and said a little cheekily, “Heh heh, Meng Chao Ge, bring it on!” And after saying this, his eyes lingered on Meng Chao’s abdomen for a little while.
Lin Qin had now become more and more open, and although there were times when he was still very shy, when he and Meng Chao were together, he joked a little more freely and was no longer so very cautious.
Naturally, Meng Chao was pleased with this kind of change, however such teasing in certain matters wasn’t something he could ignore, and so pulling Lin Qin into his arms, he kissed his flushed earlobes, saying in a hoarse voice, “Believe it or not I will really dare to do it right here?”
His entire body stiffening, Lin Qin quickly conceded, “Believe, I believe.”
Meng Chao chuckled, “Then do you still dare to do that again?”
Lin Qin shook his head obediently, “I don’t dare, I don’t dare!”
Meng Chao rubbed his hair, “Good boy.”
The two of them laughed and fooled around for a while before Meng Chao picked Lin Qin’s notebook up. This wasn’t the first time he had seen this kind of notebook, as Lin Qin always carried two with him: one for journaling and another for the character biographies of his roles. Lin Qin often memorized his lines along with the character biography, believing it helped him better understand the character’s mindset and emotions.
Hence no one knew better than him how much effort Lin Qin put into his acting.
The biography Lin Qin currently had was from his previous movie, ‘Double Passion’, about a character with dual personalities, and he had even imagined and rationalized the reasons behind the character’s distinct personalities meticulously.
Hence this was more than just a character biography; it could be considered a short novel with its logical plot and dramatic twists, because it was also because of this detailed biography, that Lin Qin’s portrayal of the dual-personality protagonist in ‘Double Passion’ came to life. The two personas, distinct in temperament, voice, and manner of speaking, were so different that one would never think they were acted by the same actor if they didn’t look at their faces.
And for his role in ‘Dark War’, he had also compiled a notebook, the handwriting neat, not even the least bit hasty, filled with his love and patience.
“Qin Qin, publish it.” Meng Chao suggested to Lin Qin while holding his notebook. He wanted the world to see how talented Lin Qin was.
Lin Qin let out an ‘ah’, and it was only after a while that he understood what Meng Chao was saying. He asked uncertainly: “Can it be published?”
Meng Chao: “I’ll contact the team behind ‘Double Passion’ and buy the publishing rights. Then it should be possible.”
“But does it really make sense to publish it?”
For Lin Qin, this character biography was a tool to help him better interpret his roles, and in his opinion, he saw it as lacking readability and felt that publishing it would only be a waste of money even if some bought it just for his fame.
“You’re underestimating yourself too much.” Meng Chao chided lightly, tapping his head. “Whether it’s meaningful or not, don’t just take my word for it. Ask someone who has read it.”
This biography had a lot of Lin Qin’s acting insights in it, which made it a very valuable learning resource for actors.
What’s more, Lin Qin’s straightforward writing style and sincere emotions could turn the biography into a novel-like read, something which would be a leisurely pastime for ordinary people.
So naturally, it was of great significance.
Lin Qin thought about it. Meng Chao was now looking at him with rose tinted glasses, so naturally it was impossible for him to make an objective and fair evaluation.
But it wasn’t the same with others.
And at present, the only other person who had read the biography was Zhang Yue, so he planned to ask him about whether it had the potential for publishing.
And so immediately, he left the lounge with Meng Chao who followed behind him with a smile.
When Lin Qin found Zhang Yue, he was discussing upcoming scenes with the director.
And the eyes of Zhang Yue, when he saw Lin Qin and Meng Chao together, flashed. Although he had already accepted the fact that they were together in his heart, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he actually saw them.
However he hid this discomfort hurriedly and called out respectfully, “Senior Meng, Senior Lin.”
Walking over, Lin Qin stood still, then without any nonsense, went straight to the point, “Meng Chao Ge thinks my character biography is worth publishing, but I’m not so sure. You’ve read it, what do you think?”
His eyes suddenly lighting up, Zhang Yue said hurriedly, “It can really be published! If it’s really published, I’d definitely buy a copy for my collection!” Having experienced enlightening moments from the insights it provided, he knew how valuable the character biography was. And once it was published, it would definitely be of great benefit to many actors.
He had actually planned to photocopy Lin Qin’s character biography for his own collection, but didn’t do it because he didn’t have Lin Qin’s permission. However if it were to be published, he would definitely buy it and even call his classmates and friends to buy it as well!
The director said from the side, “Why not compile the character biography from ‘Dark War’ into a book and publish it as well?” He had happened to read Lin Qin’s biography for the characters of ‘Dark War’ and understood why Lin Qin’s portrayal of roles was so profound, as if he really knew the characters’ entire lives.
If Lin Qin didn’t hide it and was really willing to share these character biographies, then it would be a great thing for the industry.
Then after all this, the director and Zhang Yue praise Lin Qin’s character biographies so much that becoming flustered, Lin Qi hated that he couldn’t publish the biographies right away.
However these emotions were only momentary because after he calmed down, he was still a bit hesitant.
And seeing his uncertainty, Meng Chao offered a compelling suggestion, “Or how about this? I’ll add my annotations to your biographies. A collaboration between us would definitely be worthy of being published, right?”
Hearing this, Lin Qin’s eyes lit up immediately. Collaborating with Meng Chao Ge to publish a book? Just thinking about it alone made him excited!
Moreover Meng Chao Ge’s annotations would definitely add immense value to the work, making it even more compelling. It could be published! Meng Chao Ge’s annotations could definitely be published!
Zhang Yue and the director looked at each other and saw the anticipation in the other’s eyes. If this book was really published, it would probably cause a sensation in the acting world!
