Actors have no vacation

Chapter 153 The Return
In October, the movie promotion was almost done.

The road show is the last sprint in the plan, and the level of fatigue is even greater than before.

The main positions are the dozen or so "ticket warehouses" in first-tier cities, plus some second-tier cities with good box office potential.Almost every province in the country has to go there.

Every time Guan Chen and the others went to one place, they appeared one after another in various theaters in the city in different combinations according to the schedule coordinated by the theaters.Usually stay in a movie theater for more than 10, [-], [-] minutes, chat about the anecdotes of the crew, answer questions, take a group photo, and then almost prepare to leave and go to the next movie theater by car.

Hurry on the road, eat in a hurry, rest in a hurry.In addition to eating some local specialties, I rarely have time to get in touch with the local customs.

Chen Dao is weak, and his body has visibly thinned out, as if he will fly to the sky in the next second, but there is always a kind of morbid excitement in his expression. "Police Story" is the first commercial blockbuster directed by him, and the box office is related to the next step in his career, which is of great significance.But what really drove him crazy was that the word-of-mouth performances of several screenings were overwhelming, conquering harsh film critics and fans, and causing a sensation to the outside world.With one foot on the steps, Director Chen is as happy as walking on cotton every day, and he doesn't want too many icing on the cake.If it wasn't for the release plan, he would have liked to include hundreds of cities on the second, third and fourth line in the roadshow.

Zhang Jingsheng and the heroine are both old actors. They have seen the world, took pictures, recorded videos, signed autographs, and took group photos... Dedicated to their work, well-mannered, like a reef in the river, with them, the spirit of the team cannot be broken .

Yao Zhiyu debuted as an idol artist. He is familiar with this continuous life style. He can sleep when he puts on the blindfold and laugh when he takes it off.

The number two male star was born as a child star, and he is also used to taking time to rest in the transportation.

But to everyone's surprise, they thought that an untrained person like Guan Chen, who went to bed early and got up early, would not be able to keep up with this intensity of work and rest. As a result, Guan Chen, like a cat, obviously slept very lightly and was a little troubled. Just wake up, sleep here and there for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and be able to perform any activity with vigor, which is amazing.When I got off the plane in the early morning and went to a different place, everyone wished I could get to the hotel early so that I could sleep to death, but he didn't sleep, and started exercising on the street around the hotel, insisting on eating breakfast before going to bed.

During the road show, the promotion team gradually had a clear division of labor.

Director Chen is responsible for answering questions about the plot and affirming the audience's reading comprehension;

Zhang Jingsheng and the heroine are responsible for telling the tidbits of the set and satisfying everyone's gossip;
The male number two is in charge of being cool and handsome; Yao Zhiyu is in charge of being cute and active;
Guan Chen was not only responsible for showing his talents and attending small classes, but also for supervising everyone to keep their spirits up and not to sleep.

When the schedule was tight and the night was not over, everyone collapsed on the sofa in the lounge with tired faces, not wanting to move.At this time, Guan Chen would take out peanuts from his pocket, and introduce that experienced old detectives would eat snacks like this, so that they could keep their mouths busy while watching, and chat while eating, so as to counteract sleepiness.

Guan Chen kindly threw peanut kernels into the sleepy man's mouth.

Like a well-trained dog, Yao Zhiyu opened his mouth to catch peanut kernels and chewed them crunchily, indicating that the effect was really good and she was no longer sleepy;

The male number two was thrown on the face and lips one after another. Feeling humiliated, he stood up and tried to stop Guan Chen, but during the tugging process, Guan Chen took the opportunity to take the opportunity as a fitness textbook to take a demonstration of "deadly scissor kicks", which made him feel ashamed and indignant. Difficult, and finally not sleepy.

Guan Chen always wants to make videos when he sees the needle, and everyone avoids it, which is very nerve-wracking.Even Zhang Jingsheng often hid aside with the excuse of back pain.

In order for Guan Chen to use up his excess energy, Director Chen, who has experience in raising children, thought of a way and commissioned a screenwriter.

Unless the screenwriter is well-known and has a certain ability to appeal to the audience, he does not need to have a road show with the group.

The screenwriter of "Police Story" is as new as Director Chen, and an old partner. He was summoned by Director Chen and said, isn't your first draft of the script almost ready? Show it to Ah Chen.

When the movie finished half a year ago, the screenwriter took away Guan Chen's biography of Wu Ze, went back to sort it out, and wrote a new story.

Now that the first draft has been written, it should be shown to Guan Chen, the original author.

The screenwriter agreed and came with the script.

The plan went very well. Apart from going on stage to laugh and take pictures that day, Guan Chen was thinking about the script as soon as he returned to the lounge.I really don't have the energy to take care of others anymore.

But on the second day, Guan Chen took the script to the screenwriter and said that there was something wrong with the script.

Guan Chen said that murderers are divided into [organized type] and [unorganized type]. [Focus on the process of committing a crime], the difference between the two is that one simply wants to kill the target, while the other wants to prolong the time the perpetrator spends with the victim, and then gain pleasure from the other party's reaction.

The screenwriter's understanding of the murderer is obviously neither deep enough nor accurate enough.

In order for the screenwriter to have a relatively intuitive feeling, it happened that the road show was going to a border province city, and Guan Chen was going to take the screenwriter to meet the world overnight.

The scriptwriter thought that Guan Chen was just taking him to a detention center to consult and interview the police who had confronted murderers. As a result, Guan Chen went to the bank to withdraw tens of thousands of cash, put it in a translucent white plastic bag, and asked if he had heard of it. Fishing enforcement.The screenwriter was scared to pee, and cried to promise that he would check the information carefully and bring a better and more realistic script next time.After getting approval, the screenwriter flew home overnight.

When he arrived at Modu Station, Guan Chen reported to Director Chen that he was going to leave all morning.

Director Chen hurriedly asked who he was taking out this time.Guan Chen replied that he didn't take anyone with him, but he went to do something serious by himself.

Director Chen was glad that he was mixed with depression, so he slowed down and agreed to Guan Chen's trip, but asked him to come back early in the afternoon.

There are basically not many people in the morning session of the theater, so the roadshow schedule usually starts in the afternoon and then stays busy until the early morning.Although Guan Chen always goes out late at night to experience the local customs and customs, but his concept of time is always on time and does not cause trouble, so he can rest assured when he speaks and does things. It is amazing when you think about it carefully, a person can make people feel troublesome , and at the same time give people a sense of security and reliability.

Guan Chen got up early on purpose, and walked out of the hotel carrying big bags and small bags of things he bought from all over the country.

He first went back to the studio.

When he arrived downstairs in the studio, it was not time for work, so Guan Chen didn't go upstairs immediately, but went to greet the neighbors.Now that he has gained some fame, the whole process is a bit like visiting a poverty alleviation point. Guan Chen goes along the street to say hello to each family, asking them how their living conditions are and whether they have any difficulties recently.The interviewed bosses were all panic-stricken, as if facing an enemy, and quickly said that their lives have been very good recently, especially in the past few months, they are simply the happiest and most stable days in their lives.

Guan Chen was very satisfied, pondered for a moment, and said in a tone full of undertones, a movie is about to be released recently, you know it?

The bosses were hinted, and they even said that they must watch it, and they took the whole family to watch it together.

Guan Chen likes this kind of sensible people, he advises everyone, you must take good care of your children, don't do stupid things, and regret it later.

The bosses with children were hinted again, and all of them turned pale and hugged their children tightly.

It wasn't until Qian Liangyi came to work and stepped outside the crowd to watch the excitement that he found that nightmarishly familiar face.

broken!Qian Liangyi's heart skipped a beat.

Because it was a surprise inspection, he didn't have time to call in sick, and he didn't have time to ask employees to inform customers to call at another time.

Qian Liangyi could only helplessly accept the things in Guan Chen's hands, and then watched him go upstairs, starting to delay the day's harvest.

Guan Chen warmly greeted the staff.

"Xiao Jing, I heard that your child got into some trouble during the summer vacation? I know a kind of people. They have a little difficulty in life, but they are very enthusiastic. They can help you solve the trouble with a small reward. How about it? Would you like to introduce me? Give you?"

"Old Tang, are the old people in the countryside in good health now? Are you going to send them to a nursing home? Which nursing home? You didn't choose well... You'd better think about it before choosing. Now there is a fraudulent method, which is to sell beds to the old people and collect money Run away. The old man is ninety this year, right? It’s quite old. At this age, the court dare not sentence him, even if he is sentenced to prison, he dare not raise him, and the police dare not come to be ruthless. My child just happened to be..."

Guan Chen has not returned to work for several months, and the leader has not shown up for a long time, so he is in danger of being ostracized.He positions himself as a leader who does practical things, so in order to stabilize the basic market, he cares about his employees very meticulously.

The effect of condolences seems to be very good.Guan Chen could feel that everyone who was named by him was shaking their bodies and speaking, obviously feeling the majesty of the leadership, and at the same time, they were very moved.

Seeing that Guan Chen flouted the law on the spot and encouraged the employees to go astray, Qian Liangyi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Save your energy until the road show in the afternoon..."

"The work of the crew is work, and the work of the studio is also work." Guan Chen shook his head and replied, as if the leader was delivering a speech without leaking water.

"..." Qian Liangyi scolded Xing Yun secretly, but he didn't keep his eyes on Guan Chen.

Guan Chen walked behind Qian Liangyi's desk, flipped through various documents, and pretended to shake his head a few times, as if he was very dissatisfied with Qian Liangyi's work.Qian Liangyi's eyelids twitched, and Guan Chen said in the next second, "I recently thought of a new profit-making project, which can increase income for the studio."

Qian Liangyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat twitched a few times, as if he swallowed a mouse by mistake.

The new project Guan Chen said is, "We provide a small wedding theater service, allowing customers to act as screenwriters and lead actors, and re-enact the love-hate entanglement of the two people who met and met. It has a very good commemorative significance. Now, let’s show them.”

"Huh?" Qian Liangyi was shocked, he didn't expect Guan Chen to have such a normal proposal.But being too normal means abnormal to Guan Chen.

Qian Liangyi cautiously said: "We don't have a team at all..."

Guan Chen said: "For actors, it happens that the trainees from the training class can be used as extras, and in name they provide opportunities to practice performances, and you can get a group of people for a small amount of money. The clients are not good at acting, and there are ready-made acting teachers. guide."

"What about the others? Photography, fine arts..."

"Downstairs." Guan Chen said.

Qian Liangyi rushed to the window to watch, but he didn't see any crew.

"The photography team, the modeling team... directly recruit people from our neighbors. As long as we bring everyone to drink soup and eat meat, the wedding alliance I mentioned before can be established by taking the opportunity." Guan Chen obviously didn't forget the time when he first joined the job. After a while, [Wedding Alliance], which was rejected by Qian Liangyi as soon as it was proposed, "There is no need to take turns being the speaker. Our studio made the plates, and we are the speaker."

The employees were deeply moved, and they all looked forward to it.

Qian Liangyi has a big head, and he knows very well that it is not so easy to set up the crew.It does not mean that both photographers can do the work of another person.Film and television professional photographers need to spend several years learning the lens language, light and space. In the industry, the master guides the apprentices, and the teacher guides the students. There are almost two types of work in commercial photography for wedding photos.

But Qian Liangyi knew that this kind of reason could not dispel Guan Chen, he thought about it, found a loophole, and said: "...the recording group, the props group, the setting group, etc., we don't have any in the neighborhood."

Guan Chen calmly took out a booklet.

Qian Liangyi knew that Guan Chen always carried two booklets with him, one was a good person certificate, and the other was used to record various things, but he never knew what was written on it.In his limited memory, when Guan Chen was doing anything, there was a probability that he would take out a pamphlet and scribble. When eating, walking, playing football, and after finishing writing, he sometimes frowned, sometimes relieved, sometimes strangely. Laughed... He had always suspected that Guan Chen was recording some kind of creative inspiration.For literature majors, normal, normal.

Guan Chen opened the booklet and asked, "I've thought about this question a long time ago. Do you think I just talked about this plan casually?"

Qian Liangyi thought to himself, ah, isn't it? ...

After turning a few pages, Guan Chen seemed to have found something, "Look." He showed the pamphlet to Qian Liangyi to read the contents.

Qian Liangyi took it and saw that there were lines of words on the page of the booklet, which seemed to be some kind of information.

In a unified format, it records a person's name, gender, age, occupation, family composition, address, license plate, hobbies, debts, weaknesses...

[Amanda (American), female, 22 years old, photographer assistant (2 years in the industry), studying in China alone, 33, Lane 204, Eleventh Street, Magic City, no car, likes to read books, no debts, easily grumpy Impulsive breach of contract...]

[Pang Yi, male, 32 years old, head of the props group (11 years of experience), one wife and two sons...]

【…】

Qian Liangyi's hands trembled, he didn't expect to see such a thing.

Some of the people on the pamphlet are from the crew of "Police Story" and some from the crew of "The Key to Destiny".

"Black Flood Dragon 2" has the least number of people on the list, probably because their professional ability is too weak, and they are not liked by Guan Chen; for the few people on the list, the description in the "Weakness" column is also very eye-catching, what about "debts" 20], [has a seriously ill younger brother], [suspected of cheating on multiple boats]... The intelligence network is riddled with holes, which shows the lack of discipline on the set.

"..." Seeing this kind of dangerous information, Qian Liangyi was terrified, but his heart sank faintly.

Sure enough, sure enough, Guan Chen is still the same Guan Chen.

Guan Chen said: "As long as we address their weaknesses with affection, courtesy first and then soldiers, most of them will join us."

Qian Liangyi was speechless, this matter was beyond his ability.

"Have you not seen your elder brother for a long time?" Qian Liangyi asked Guan Chen kindly.

Guan Chen nodded as expected.

Qian Liangyi said: "Jinzhu went to the acting class today. There are not enough people there. He is going to help. It is rare for you to be free. Go and see him, and take a look at Mr. Xing by the way. Then tell me about your (criminal) plan. Talk to them."

Guan Chen thought the same, it's useless to talk about big plans with a small guy.In the end, it was he and the elder brother who made the decision.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Guan Chen asked Qian Liangyi: "Is there nothing to report?"

Qian Liangyi thought for a while and said, "Some time ago, a kid came to ask about you."

Guan Chen asked Qian Liangyi to describe the other party.

Qian Liangyi described the child's bad behavior, and finally summed it up in three words: "It's very similar to you."

Guan Chen didn't understand the little sarcasm at the end, he just nodded, "I know who it is. It's expected." He waved Qian Liangyi back.

Before leaving, Guan Chen ordered everyone: "The movie will be released in two days, everyone remember to watch it."

Everyone responded with a bang.Some staff members said that they have already called on movie fans to watch it online.

Guan Chen was relieved, and left some food specialties for the staff to share, and then took some other things to the acting class.

　The funeral thing is over.

　　Come to a chapter today to restore the feel, adjust the state, and continue to update tomorrow.
