Actors have no vacation

Chapter 154 Specialties
After Xing Yun was transferred, a girl Guan Chen had never seen was replaced in front of the counter in the hall, but he was recognized by the other party as soon as he walked into the training class.

Not surprisingly.Guan Chen just passed three of his humanoid billboards in a row in the corridor. The posters of "Police Story" almost covered the corridor. Every Homo sapiens who walked into this building should be familiar with him.

"Brother Chen!" The girl became happy, and finally saw him alive.

Just as Guan Chen was about to nod his head, he heard several voices coming from far and near:
"Teacher Guan!" "Brother Guan!"

It's a familiar face, but it's not a student in the same training class.

Guan Chen thought for a while before he recognized that they were the extras of "The Key to Destiny". They often appeared near Xing Yan when they were on the set.Probably only these people would call him such a disgusting name.

Guan Chen knows that Xing Yan likes to get together with group performers when he is not filming. From time to time, he gives some pointers on performances, but keeps the paid content, and exaggerates his self-created acting teaching. Zhang Jingsheng really confuses many people, wherever he goes, he hugs and hugs a group of minions.

During those days on the set, Guan Chen had already heard Xing Yan say "Your talent is no worse than Xie Jinzhu" to at least [-] extras.

It seems that an individual can be more talented than Xie Jinzhu, and an individual can surpass Xie Jinzhu.

If it was Guan Chen two months ago, after learning that some people really believed Xing Yan's nonsense, Pidianpidian came to Shanghai from the capital to learn acting, he would definitely laugh at these people as stupid.Because big brother Xie Jinzhu has achieved today's achievements, talent is not the main reason.Twenty years ago when martial arts movies were most popular, Xie Jinzhu, a young actor with no background and no school, was able to grab food from the mouths of martial arts masters because of his willingness to risk his life to be beaten and fell. fierce.At the same time, Mr. Lin was injured all over his body, and now he has switched to become a martial arts instructor, but Xie Jinzhu is still fighting and wrestling and shooting action movies.This awareness is harder to come by than talent.

However, in the past two months, Guan Chen has traveled all over the country with publicity campaigns, attended many dinners with Zhang Jingsheng, gained some understanding of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industry, and after broadening his horizons, he felt that these young extras Being fooled by Mr. Xing may not be a bad thing.Because like Xie Jinzhu, who is willing to do his best to bring students into the industry with just a promise, is really rare in the circle.

There are many acting classes on the market, and the teachers have their own way, but the students are just students, not students. The relationship between the two parties is just knowledge in exchange for tuition fees, business.

People like Xing Yan and Xie Jinzhu are lucky to meet one.

"When did you come here?" Guan Chen looked at these young people who were a few years younger than him and asked.

They replied that they have been here for more than half a month and have already attended four classes (five classes).

"Wait a minute." Guan Chen quietly moved his fingers holding the bag, "Is it four knots or five knots?"

They explained that they took four classes and five classes respectively, because when to start classes depends on which teachers are selected.

"So complicated?" Guan Chen was surprised, followed their gaze and turned his head to look at the wall, only to find that there were a lot of photos of Xing Yan and Zhang Jingsheng on the wall, and the [teacher's column] pasted on the wall beside it, There has also been an update.

Compared with [Xing Yan] and [Wu Meng] before, there are more than two teachers in the performance class now.Probably after the business got better, Xing Yan recruited a few old men who had a lot of experience but had no acting skills.

Guan Chen counted and found that seven days a week were taught by different teachers.

Xing Yan's class is on Saturday, but sometimes when he has something to do and can't attend class, he will ask a substitute teacher to attend.

For example, today, it was Xie Jinzhu who took over as a substitute.

"What content did you upload?" Guan Chen was curious about what Xie Jinzhu taught everyone.

"Brother has been teaching us how to 'fall' and 'be beaten' in the first half of class..." No. [-] extra performer said.

Guan Chen nodded and looked at the [teacher column]. Each teacher has a corresponding type of expertise. Students can choose courses according to their interests, career plans and talents.

Although Xing Yan said that emotions are equal, so there is no difference in what actors play, but genre films are divided into genres because they have elements that are different from other movie genres. When directing, they cannot be generalized.

For example, Wu Meng, who is good at comedy, will teach students to work hard on rhythm; a teacher who is good at costume history, will teach lines and body skills that are different from modern characters; Xie Jinzhu, who is good at action movies, will teach everyone how to fight and be beaten in front of the camera. , the action will look better.

Guan Chen has participated in three action films and worked with three martial arts instructors. He already knows that to make a good action scene, it is not just about fighting.

"Class is over." The girl at the counter stood up and reminded the group performers number one and two, saying that the break time was over and the second half of class was about to start.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." Guan Chen raised the bag in his hand, ready to follow to the classroom.

The first and second group performers followed behind Guan Chen, pushed each other a few times, and then the first group performer asked, "Brother Chen, have you never hired an assistant?"

"What?" Guan Chen asked back.

"...we want to be your assistant."

Guan Chen glanced at the two of them, but did not speak.What a beautiful idea!

The group performers No. [-] and No. [-] looked at each other blankly, as if they had been despised by Brother Chen for some reason.

Guan Chen followed group performers No. [-] and No. [-] and went in first. After a while, he entered the classroom.

After entering, he just stood in the corner, ready to attend the senior brother's class.

Looking at the seats, most of the classmates in the Saturday morning class have changed now.I don't know if those people gave up acting or finally got their chance.

Little Xiong sat in the first row with his back straight and his mouth seemed to be filled with candy. He always quietly moved the candy from the left cheek to the right cheek when Xie Jinzhu didn't notice her.But Xie Jinzhu was wearing sunglasses, so she was often not sure to seize the opportunity, so her expression was very dignified.

Guan Chen laughed.Seeing that the little bear was still there, the strangeness of the classroom in his heart dissipated immediately.

On the stage, Xie Jinzhu started to talk about the content of the first half of the class. During the scuffle, the group performers always shouted "ahhhh" before making moves. It seemed extremely stupid, as if reminding the protagonist to come quickly Hit him like that. "Actually, that is indeed a reminder." Xie Jinzhu said.During the melee, there are many people, and the protagonist has to memorize dozens of actions every time he hits a few. If he remembers it wrong, he will be hit, so the group performer shouting is to remind the protagonist to reach the time point of a certain action. Don't get confused.

After listening to it, the students in the audience took over as the protagonist one after another, showing the expressions of "a dozen movements have to be memorized, it's so difficult".

"I have to memorize more than a dozen movements..." Xiaoxiong lamented, and in her cognition, she thought acting in an action movie was the least brain-intensive.

Xie Jinzhu suggested that everyone learn some fighting: "Dozens of movements are really not easy to remember, but if you have really learned fighting and know the logic of movement design, it is not difficult to memorize. Sometimes even if you make a mistake, you can avoid it, or change halfway trick."

"Can't you shoot a section and cut a section? Or finish the film slowly and speed up the processing later." Another student asked a question.

"That's the old style. Action movies can only go forward, not backward." Xie Jinzhu said.

"In our business, the life and death of a genius can determine the rise and fall of a skill.

For example, the earliest martial arts masters brought martial arts movements from Peking Opera and Cantonese opera to movies; then, some people combined traditional martial arts with movies to change people's aesthetics; more than [-] years ago, Brother Fan brought a wave of real combat and promoted the film industry. It was the beginning of Chinese films occupying the whole world.

The action movies that have been produced for more than ten years now are all extended from Brother Fan's martial arts style, real fighting, actual combat, punching to the flesh.Therefore, if you cut it into pieces and use it later, you will be cast aside by your peers. "

Xie Jinzhu pushed his sunglasses and said with emotion: "A genius changes an industry. In the field of action movies, it often happens."

Because of the addition of martial artists, action movies retain the atmosphere of the arena.The students were looking forward to it.

Little Bear was curious: "Who might the next genius be?"

Xie Jinzhu smiled mysteriously, but did not speak.

When turning around, Xie Jinzhu raised his eyes and saw Guan Chen hiding in the corner, and was puzzled for a moment: "Huh?"

The students all turned their heads and saw Guan Chen.

Since Guan Chen ran with the team to promote, his image has always been very well-groomed, his own temperament is unique, and he is used to being watched by others. At this time, there is a bit of a star, alienated from the crowd and touching, and the students are intimidated. , I don't know how to react at once.

"Chen!" Xie Jinzhu recognized Guan Chen, and immediately waved to him cheerfully.

Guan Chen walked towards the stage.

Xie Jinzhu was overjoyed by Guan Chen's visit. He opened his arms and hugged Guan Chen's waist tightly. While laughing, he took the opportunity to bury his forehead and cheeks into Guan Chen's chest, wiping out a circle of sweat.Guan Chen's reaction was not slow, he clamped Xie Jinzhu's head with his arms and strangled him desperately.Xie Jinzhu was almost suffocated, and quickly patted Guan Chen on the back, looking very enthusiastic.

Seeing this reappearance of the screen that resembles the final battle scene of "The Chaser", everyone can no longer remain indifferent.

"Fuck me, it's Guan Chen!" "Brother Chen! Brother Chen!" They excitedly wanted to take a photo with Guan Chen.

Xie Jinzhu was taken aback, and quickly took up the role of agent, stopped everyone back to their seats, and said that after class, we would talk about it after class.

Continuing the class, Guan Chen sat on the ground and listened.Xie Jinzhu always wanted to interact with Guan Chen, which made Guan Chen feel like he was in class, and couldn't even take a short errand.So after staying for a while, he found an excuse and said that he was going to distribute special products to Mr. Xing.

Xie Jinzhu asked what special products, "Is there any of mine? Is there any of mine?"

Guan Chen held up the plastic bag in his hand and said yes.

Xie Jinzhu almost stuck his head into the bag.Guan Chen simply handed over the bag, and Xie Jinzhu quickly opened it, and took out a few items, including food, a knife, amber, and a small ornamental stone.

Assigned by Guan Chen.

Most of the snacks and specialties bought during the roadshow in the western city were given to the staff of the studio.

The hunting knives bought in the north are for myself.

Passing by the ancient city in the Central Plains, I saw amber for sale, and there was a worm in it, which was just right for my younger brother Wu Yan who wanted to raise animals.purchase.

When I arrived in the southern city, I had tens of thousands of cash in my pocket. In order to spend it, I wandered on the road and saw strange-shaped stones. I felt that it was very suitable, so I bought it.

Xie Jinzhu was very happy holding the stone.But he found that there was actually a roll of freehand paintings in the bag, and judging by his skills, he was actually a famous artist.

Guan Chen said that he had a meal with Zhang Jingsheng before, and the dinner table was full of people from the cultural circle, and there were a few painters, who were about to create when they were full of wine and food. , chat form welcome.Guan Chen felt that hanging this kind of thing at home was a waste, so he brought it to Teacher Xing.

The students in the audience all looked at Guan Chen enviously.Be an actor, run publicity, road shows, travel all over the country, fame and fortune.It's really enviable.

Little Bear looked at Guan Chen pitifully, and asked all over his eyes, what about me?

Guan Chen handed her something from his pocket.It seemed like a gift of little value.

"What specialty is this? A postcard?" But even if it was a postcard, Bear was very satisfied.As long as Guan Chen hasn't forgotten her as an old friend.

When she unfolded the "postcard" and took a closer look, she found that it was printed on it:

【Dear friends
You are cordially invited to the premiere of Police Story
time……】

This is an invitation.

Little Bear looked at Guan Chen blankly.

Guan Chen said: "Come with me to the premiere. I just want you to witness my first work."
