Actors have no vacation

Chapter 145 Team
Intuition is a synthesis of life experience.Guan Chen's intuition rarely makes mistakes, and Lao Zhang looked at him with scrutiny.

Recently, the publicity of "Police Story" has been huge, and it has become the focus of the industry.

Some movies are of low quality. Before they are released, if the distribution company wants not to lose money, they will bite the bullet and rely on marketing to make up for it. They will make hype. Ecology], the boring plot is [succinct story], in addition, the friendship between the actors will be brought out, in short, the audience can be tricked into the theater one by one.

But "Police Story", from the preview, to the interview, even the strange tidbits showing life skills that ordinary people will never use in their lifetime, all reveal the film crew's confidence in the quality of the film.

In the interview a few days ago, Zhang Jingsheng praised two people, one is the director Chen Bin, and the other is the actor Guan Chen.Praising a newcomer is nothing to Zhang Jingsheng. He is well known for his gentleness and rarely speaks ill of others. This is the reason why he has zero negative reviews in the circle.But what is different from the past is that Zhang Jingsheng made no secret of his optimism for Guan Chen. Self-discipline and hard work are the basic ethics of an actor. I'm really confronting the gangsters", "Thought the director found someone from prison to act", "If I'm only 30 years old now, I might not be able to handle his scenes", praised his talent, and said that he has checked Chen recommended it to Director Tian, ​​and is currently filming Director Tian's new film.This is to show his love for Guan Chen with actions, which is not polite.

This interview is quite dangerous, because it will increase the audience's expectations. If after watching the movie, you find that the film and performance are average, you will face backlash.It is impossible for Zhang Jingsheng not to know this, but he is still famous and very confident.

This made people inside and outside the industry have a strong curiosity about Guan Chen.

And Lao Zhang noticed Guan Chen much earlier than most people.

To some extent, it can be said that without him, Guan Chen would not be where he is today.

Last year, when "Police Story" was still casting, one of Lao Zhang's manager friends had his eye on the role of [Wu Ze].After learning that a related household got the role, Lao Zhang was in charge of coming up with the idea, and his friend was in charge of executing it, and the two teamed up to deal with the related household.The plan went smoothly, the patron's backyard was on fire and he couldn't take care of himself, the related households had nothing to rely on, and were bombed by several waves of naval forces. After his mentality collapsed, he could only spit out the characters he had eaten.At the end of the plan, a friend took the initiative and recommended an actor under his banner—an actor who is cheap, has acting skills, has no schedule, and never forgets the role, has been thinking about the script, and continues to exercise—to the producer who has been in touch with him all the time , to preempt the role.

I thought it was a surefire thing, but I was suddenly notified by the producer that the crew had confirmed another actor.

The name Guan Chen appeared in Lao Zhang's field of vision.

Working behind the scenes in this industry, there are often times when the bamboo basket is empty.

But it's always unpleasant to be cut off.Especially when my friend saw Guan Chen's photo, he became furious and yelled that he was cheated by this grandson.

Lao Zhang became interested, thinking that he had met another team that was in charge of the bureau, and checked Guan Chen's background. He was a little confused. It's just Xie Jinzhu.

At the request of his friend, Lao Zhang was going to attack Guan Chen.Changing actors one after another, the crew is actually not willing to toss about, but Xie Jinzhu's studio opposite has no money and no background, this time it's a big deal for nothing, even if you can't spit out the role again, it's better to cause Guan Chen some trouble.

However, after a phone call with her sister, the wife said that a high school classmate of Xiaoxiong, who is also an actor, has recently acted with Zhang Jingsheng, which is really amazing.

Lao Zhang inexplicably remembered that person.Asked his name, it was indeed Guan Chen.

Lao Zhang found it troublesome, but he didn't think it was too much to do. He had a normal relationship with his wife's natal family, so there was no need to worry about it.

The wife then said that Xiao Xiong's going to become an actor had already made his father very unhappy. Now that Guan Chen has made a comeback, with the relationship between the two of them, Xiao Xiong might not have to be talked about by his father in the future.

……

Guan Chen felt that Xiaoxiong was right, this old Zhang was really unpleasant, his eyes were filled with pity of [I let you go, thank me soon], which made people very uncomfortable.

He didn't plan to have too much communication with Lao Zhang, and the other party seemed to plan to do the same.After returning [Excuse me, who is your age] with their eyes, the two people's eyes staggered.

"Congratulations, the movie will be released soon." Xiong Ruojin congratulated Guan Chen.

Guan Chen sat upright and said, the film will be released next month, if he wants to go to the premiere, he still has tickets.

"He will be a big star in the future." Xiaoxiong patted Guan Chen's shoulder, looking very pleased.

"If you want to borrow money from someone in the future, just ask me!" Guan Chen made a promise proudly.In his world, besides risking his life to give his life, borrowing money is the second most loyal thing.

When he said this, he didn't think much about it. Under what circumstances would the Xiong family need to borrow money from an outsider?Only when there is a major change in the family and no one can afford the money.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiong and Xiong Ruojin didn't mind the subtext behind this sentence.

"I'm serious." Xiong Ruojin blinked.

"Although it is serious." Guan Chen nodded.

Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and couldn't help breaking the stage: "You should replace your entire team first."

"What do you mean?" Guan Chen was angry, feeling that he was insulted. He is not the kind of person who would give up his younger brother after he has money and lived a good life. "Dragon in the Wild" kind of play house."

"That's right, that's right, brother Chen is very loyal." Little Xiong nodded along beside him, and added: "It's not like "Black Flood Dragon 2: Mad Dragon Warriors" either."

Guan Chen glanced at her appreciatively: "It's not like "Black Flood Dragon 3: Hidden Dragon in the Abyss"."

"It's not "Black Flood Dragon 4:..."

"That's enough for the two of you." Lao Zhang interrupted the two of them singing together with cold eyes, and the aura of social elites could hardly hold back.When he is stupid? When will the fourth part of "Black Flood Dragon" be filmed?
Xiong Ruojin seemed to like seeing such a scene very much, holding her daughter's hand and smiling secretly, her eyes were full of tears.

"If you want to go up and make a lot of money, you have to replace the team. Because they are limited in ability and can't keep up with you." Lao Zhang explained that if it is other companies, if the newcomers under the company encounter such a start, their debut will be difficult. Competing with Zhang Jingsheng on the same stage, he was praised by Zhang Jingsheng, his acting skills aroused public opinion, and then he played the leading role in Director Tian's new play. The team behind it should have gone to a big brand to discuss advertisements and endorsements. Fang worked together, the momentum exploded, and the commercial value directly reached the second-tier level.But now, the team behind Guan Chen has not moved at all, and they are almost negative for the artist's commercial development ability. Lao Zhang looks very disgusted, "Your team is wasting opportunities."

"Have you investigated me?" Guan Chen's first concern was this.

"Don't be too self-righteous, the circle is only that big. Recently, everyone is saying that Xie Jinzhu stepped on shit." Lao Zhang speaks very sharply, and he will be beaten to death sooner or later.

"Then I'll just tell my agent about it." Guan Chen didn't think it was a big deal not to take the initiative to talk about the advertisement.

"Incompetence means that even if you tell them, they won't be able to do it." Lao Zhang's expression was indifferent, leaving no doubt that if he had such a person under his command, he would definitely fire him.

Guan Chen felt the inhumanity that Xiaoxiong had described, and he didn't like the feeling of counting every friendship. He said, "That's okay. I don't have much interest in commercials. The salary is enough. The salary of a movie is ordinary. A person’s income for several years is enough.”

Lao Zhang nodded and stopped talking.In his heart, he only thought that Guan Chen had no brains, and it was pointless to persuade a fool.But what makes him depressed is that Guan Chen's attitude of not seeking to make progress has eliminated the possibility of taking Xiaoxiong to high places in the future. Xiaoxiong has not improved as an actor, and the old guy, Papa Xiong, will be nagging Even Xiong Ruojin, who encouraged Xiaoxiong to pursue his interests, would also be blamed, saying that the elder sister is not like the elder sister.

"Can I go in?" Papa Vulture Bear came over and asked after finishing his cigarette.

Xiong Ruojin nodded, held the little one's hand, and was going to take everyone to the backstage for something to eat first.

A group of people walked to the concert hall.

Guan Chen keenly noticed that the auras of Papa Xiong and Lao Zhang were not so harmonious.

"What's the matter with the two of them? Did they quarrel before?" Guan Chen grabbed Xiaoxiong and asked quietly.

Xiao Xiong whispered to Guan Chen that Dad and Lao Zhang never quarreled, it was just that they hated each other.Dad didn't like Lao Zhang, he was idle and always made friends with dubious people, so he never agreed with his sister to marry him. Later, when her sister became pregnant, Lao Zhang also found a serious job as a manager in [Aidu], Dad I have to agree, but I still don't like it if I don't like it.After marriage, my elder sister's family of three settled down in Shanghai. Only during tours and winter and summer vacations would they bring their children back to Beijing as appropriate.

Guan Chen was very angry after hearing this. This is obviously what he was worried about before. Girls have always been asked to be good and obedient. If they lose their own opinions, they will easily cling to the man who leads her in the future.

Guan Chen looked at Xiao Xiong, worried that she would follow in Xiong Da's footsteps, and would eventually be attracted by an unreliable gangster like Lao Zhang.

Ahead, they came to the backstage lounge, not the kind where they put on makeup and change clothes.

Guan Chen didn't see that seemingly powerful man called Tan Nian.There were only a few of Xiong Ruojin's other colleagues.

Xiong Ruojin seemed to have a high status in the band, everyone came over to say hello to Xiaobudian and Papa Xiong.

The hungry little one finally had a snack, chewing two biscuits in his mouth, making his cheeks bulge on both sides, with big black grape-like eyes, like a small animal. "Isn't it cute?" she asked the little bear.

"Little pandas are cute. Little raccoons can't." The little bear retorted and stuffed the food into his mouth desperately.

Guan Chen suspects that Little Bear is just looking for an excuse to grab snacks from the children.

Two clones with similar IQs, one big and one small, played very well, and the atmosphere was also very good.

But the old Zhang said: "If you want others to like you, you will look cuter with a Frisbee in your mouth."

Papa Bear stared at Lao Zhang coldly like a vulture.Lao Zhang pretended not to see it.Xiong Ruojin had no choice but to take a picture of Lao Zhang.

Guan Chen sighed, thinking it's no wonder Xiaoxiong would rather work than go home during the Chinese New Year.

Is this the family... Guan Chen secretly observed, took out a booklet and recorded it, thinking that if he plays a role with a family in the future, maybe this family in front of him can be used as a reference.

……

The national concert is very different from what Guan Chen heard on the TV station before.

Xiong Ruojin changed into a performance costume, and the light shone on her perfectly curvy neck and shoulders, neither flooding nor sensational, her skin was as elegant as a fairy.

In the auditorium, Guan Chen saw many children. He thought that these children were forced by adults, but the faces of the children were full of anticipation and excitement. Among them, a few children even said that they wanted to become a certain A musician in an orchestra is the goal in life.Guan Chen was shocked.The music teacher, Papa Xiong, despises his fuss, saying that this is the result of the popularization of basic music education, and the most effective way to learn to appreciate music is to learn a musical instrument.After learning a musical instrument, even going to jail will not be boring.

The mean old Zhang listened to it, and said as if he was talking to himself, the proportion of piano musicians and guzheng players who married into rich families and become rich wives is not small.The implication is that learning a musical instrument is also a way out of life.

Papa Xiong immediately quarreled with Lao Zhang, and they didn't stop until the performance started.Little Bear and his niece seem to be used to this kind of scene, the two of them stick together, laughing and chatting about other things.

It was the first time for Guan Chen to listen to such a concert, thinking that he would fall asleep or impatient to listen to this kind of traditional music, but after listening to it, he found it was unexpectedly interesting.

The instruments are traditional, but the orchestra with Tan Nian as the core is very young.

Among the repertoires performed by Tan Nian, some are all Chinese music, some Chinese music has Western instruments integrated into it, and some are all Western instruments.

Guan Chen also heard Xiong Ruojin's true level - although he couldn't tell the difference, as the chief, Xiong Ruojin had his own solo time. Know how powerful she is.

When it came to the last piece, the orchestra played a trick.As the performance progressed, after each part finished playing its own part, it left the scene one by one to call it a day, leaving other musicians to continue playing on the stage.The audience looked at the distressed expressions of the musicians on the stage, listened and had fun, and guessed which instrument was left for the end.

After the performance, the backstage was very lively, people sending flowers, interviews, and filming.Guan Chen and the others couldn't squeeze in, so they simply waited outside.

After Guan Chen listened to the performance, he planned to go back to the set instead of going to dinner with them.

"See you next time when you return to the devil!" Little Bear waved him goodbye.

Before Guan Chen turned around, Papa Xiong glanced at him.Guan Chen read the meaning, you should think about the little bear.

Lao Zhang also glanced at him, and the meaning in his eyes was that you should think about the team's affairs by yourself.

Guan Chen walked towards the subway station, his steps were very slow, and his heart was a little heavy.
