Actors have no vacation

Chapter 114 Questions

"There are two types of wiretapping equipment, [hard installation] and [soft installation]. Hard installation is to use the parasitic power of power sources such as TVs or power sockets to temporarily install wiretapping devices; soft installation is relatively simple, as long as the recording equipment is placed It’s fine to go to the place where the conversation takes place. But the soft installation has a disadvantage compared to the hard installation-when the battery is depleted or the storage space is full, it needs to be recycled and replaced and repaired.”

After Guan Chen finished speaking, he noticed that the face of the side photographer on the opposite side became quite serious, so he asked, "How was the recording? What's the problem?"

"...No problem, very good!" The side photographer with the camera on his shoulder nodded solemnly, complaining incessantly.When the crew finished the day's filming and everyone just finished dinner, they felt more relaxed. He, the side photographer in charge of filming behind-the-scenes, prepared to shoot some interesting promotional materials.When Guan Chen was found outside the hotel, Guan Chen was squatting on the ground, holding up his mobile phone and looking very distressed.He just asked a question, and suddenly he was taken as a slave by Guan Chen with glaring eyes, saying that he wanted to record a lesson for fans on Weibo.The side shooter readily agreed that he didn't mind doing this little favor, but as he was filming, he began to suspect that what Guan Chen was recording was not fan benefits at all, but rather like training materials for some kind of organization or club.

"Not bad, as expected of a professional, better than elementary school students." Guan Chen leaned in front of the screen to watch the replay, very satisfied with the picture.Composition, lighting, and the stability of the picture are all incomparable to those little beans in Lianpo Restaurant.

The side shooter didn't know whether he was praised or ridiculed, but he barely finished the task, and he felt that he should leave, "Then... I went to shoot other people?"

"Don't worry, we haven't finished recording yet." Guan Chen grabbed the side shooter who wanted to run away, "After theory, how can we do without practice. I'm going to monitor a conversation next."

"Brother Chen, is this not good?" The side photographer turned pale with shock.

"I understand the rules. If there are sensitive content, I will ask someone to edit it." Guan Chen waved his hand indifferently. There are a lot of directors and interns in the crew, all of whom are ready-made slaves. "And I have earphones, and I am alone. Just listen."

What I want to talk about is not this at all... The side shot master sighed, and looked at the hall on the first floor where other actors were chatting and laughing, and always felt that it was as far away as another world.bright, warm...

Facing the camera with the lights on again, Guan Chen continued his lecture: "The conversation that will be eavesdropped later took place outdoors, the target is not a professional, there is no vigilance, and it is more convenient to recycle the equipment, so I will choose [soft installation] .”

"Why can't you just use one mobile phone to call another mobile phone, and then approach to eavesdrop?" asked the side shooter.

"The effective radio range of the mobile phone is too short."

Guan Chen shook his head, took out some things from his pocket, and put them on the ground——

A walkie-talkie, a portable radio, an old-fashioned candy bar phone, a headphone cable...

"A microphone and a loudspeaker are essentially the same instrument. All equipment that includes a loudspeaker can actually be transformed into a microphone. I had to prepare in advance, but fortunately, there are a lot of ready-made equipment in the crew." Guan Chen didn't know where to get it. After getting out of the toolbox, I used a screwdriver to disassemble the equipment brought in from the crew on the spot, and then I cut, glued and pieced together this line and that line, and finally connected it with an old-fashioned mobile phone to create a monitoring device that can receive long-distance .

Guan Chen looked up and saw the embarrassment on the side photographer's face. He thought that the other party couldn't understand, so he kindly explained: "Actually, it doesn't require much advanced physics knowledge, it's very simple."

It's really simple.

In his previous life, Guan Chen's education was only in junior high school, and he didn't even take the junior high school classes well.How to make a monitoring device, he learned from the branch boy in the club who is in charge of handling electronic equipment.At first, when he saw wires and circuits, Guan Chen was also afraid of learning, thinking that it required extremely high knowledge.But under the explanation of my younger brother, after Guan Chen figured out the key points, he found that it was actually not difficult.At that time, Guan Chen was still excited and thought that he was a high-achieving student who had been delayed, and immediately tried to learn how to make those machines according to "Chain Saw", but he easily fell in front of the three-view and circuit diagrams on the first day.

"Brother Chen, I did well in editing class at school, why don't you let me do the post-production?" The side photographer nodded dumbly, and suddenly volunteered.

Guan Chen stared into the side shooter's eyes, causing the latter's scalp to tingle, the deer to bump wildly, his heart beating like a drum, and his back was sweating profusely.

Guan Chen smiled gratifiedly: "It seems that you have indeed learned."

"Yeah yeah……"

Guan Chen stood up, took the newly-made monitoring device, and told the side shooter to follow quickly, they were going to attack the target.

The side shooter ran to Guan Chen and asked in a low voice, "Who are we going to eavesdrop on?"

"Don't worry about it."

"what?"

"Do you think I will tell you this kind of question? Your emotional intelligence is really not suitable for the workplace." Guan Chen shook his head at the side photographer, and then asked, "Do you want to teach you some tricks? No , there should be a lot of stunned young people like you in the workplace. You can follow my Weibo first, and in a few days, I will launch a career-related course."

"..." The side shooter felt that he had overdrawn his life's emotional intelligence, so he didn't complain at this time.

After entering the hotel, Guan Chen sat in the tea room, hung the coat with the monitoring device in his pocket on the back of the chair in the tea room, took out his mobile phone and pretended to play for a while, then got up and left the coat behind.

"Have you seen it clearly? I just played a male college student facing a breakup during the graduation season. Holding a mobile phone, his future is uncertain, and love has no way out. My anxiety and urgency..."

The side photographer shook his head with a lens instead of his head.

"Forget it, forget it!" Guan Chen swung his arms, showing that his superb acting skills are really playing the piano to a cow, a cow chews peonies, and a toad eats swan meat.

The hotel where they stayed was booked by the crew of "The Key to Destiny". The tea room that Guan Chen sneaked into just now is usually used by the crew as a meeting room.

At eight o'clock, that is, in another 10 minutes, director Tian will take the team to the tea room to discuss the shooting plan for the next day.

The person Guan Chen wants to eavesdrop on is Director Tian.

Because Guan Chen felt that Director Tian was unprofessional.

There is a basis for this.During the killing action scene in the villa before, director Tian repeated it over and over again, and did not stop until the weather became unsuitable for filming, which made the whole crew very tired.When Guan Chen was filming "Police Story" and "Black Dragon 2", he never got stuck in the action scenes. After a few times, he started the next scene with the director's satisfied expression. The two-day shooting plan is finished.

But on the set of "The Key to Destiny", Guan Chen had to do it all over again, and could only rest in the interval between setting up scenes and adjusting lighting.It can be said that he was physically and mentally exhausted from the filming, and he relied on perseverance to last until the end.If we say that this is the pursuit of excellence, for the sake of the quality of the film, Guan Chen can also understand, and even regards this repetition as physical exercise.Moreover, the lighting at that time was indeed very difficult, and the group performances were inexperienced, and there were a large number of people on the scene, so the scene scheduling was not easy.Guan Chen understood all these.But after finally finishing the action scenes, when he started filming the literary scenes, director Tian still did the same thing, repeating it over and over again, and every time he called to stop, he would say it again without saying what was wrong.

After a few days, Guan Chen really couldn't take it anymore.

He originally planned to take a stroll around the capital, watch football games, appreciate improved Peking opera, listen to cross talk, and watch martial arts performances in the capital when he was not filming.Lin Wu pointed out that if he is free, he can also go to the martial arts hall to find people for activities.

As a result, his plan was severely delayed due to Tian's unprofessional director, and he didn't even have a day off!
Guan Chen decided to eavesdrop on Director Tian to see what kind of bullshit they were talking about in their daily meetings.

After setting up the wiretapping equipment, Guan Chen went outside the hotel and put on his earphones. His mobile phone was talking with the monitoring mobile phone in his jacket.Because it has been improved, even if it is hidden in the coat, it can also receive the sound of the entire tea room.

The side photographer on the side couldn't hear anything, and couldn't walk away, looking very bored.However, Guan Chen was very kind and decided to let the side shooter and fans learn some knowledge.

"Let's talk about a little knowledge." Guan Chen wasted time in front of the camera:

"In the movie, when the police and undercover agents meet, they have to turn on the music or turn on the TV to prevent eavesdropping. In fact, this is not safe. There are noise-canceling software on the market that can block the noise of the TV or radio. But this software can't handle it. The sound of running water, so the bathroom with water on is the best place to prevent eavesdropping."

The side shooter nodded his head, thinking about what content to deal with in the post-editing, so as not to lose his job.
