Actors have no vacation

Chapter 166 The Dummy
There are actually quite a few blockbuster and good movies in October's prime time, but in the face of the beatings and kicks of "Police Story", the other movies are all bruised and swollen, and they have no power to resist.

For those who want to watch big scenes, "The Police" is of course the first choice.Car chases, gun battles, explosions, and fighting are all available, and the details are different from those of previous action movies. The sense of actual combat and pain is stronger here. Even literary dramas do not make people drowsy. Being brave can also make people's adrenaline rush.

If you want to watch some romance with your lover, there are also "Police".There are two kinds of love, one is passionate like fire, the other is gentle like water, no matter what kind, the power of the two kinds of love when they are turned from desperation is very moving.

If you want to watch something profound, "The Police" can also satisfy you.A story that happened in the police system, showing all kinds of police officers, good and bad, there is no shortage of exposure and praise for this group.After the audience watched the movie, they lamented the fate of the characters, and it was easy to feel that they had a little more understanding of life than they did two hours ago.

Not to mention that Guan Chen said in the promotion that "not only children should watch it, but parents with children should watch it", making the movie seem very educational. I chose this movie to watch with my kids.

The quality of the film is good, and after the word of mouth has grown, and the publicity has not saved money, therefore, all other films released in October and planned to be released in early November will basically become cannon fodder.

Some movies have basically been laid flat, they think they are unlucky, and they are going to save their energy to make money in other channels; some are still struggling, either touching porcelain for publicity, or buying drafts frantically.

However, among all the cannon fodder, there is only one movie, wishing that the storm would be more violent.

["Black Flood Dragon 2: Mad Dragon Warriors", premiere nationwide on November 11! 】

【Starring: ..., Xie Jinzhu, Guan Chen】

[Martial arts instructor: Cai Jiaban, Guan Chen]

……

[A hot pot that has been left still is a mandarin duck pot.One spicy and one clear soup are separated in the middle like a Tai Chi Pisces picture, and they do not invade each other.

A voice came from outside the screen, saying slowly:

"Doing things and cooking, in fact, all pay attention to the same heat."

The lens turns.

Under the sun, a handsome young man walked into the screen, holding the admission notice in his hand, and excitedly walked into the university in front of him.He attends classes, participates in club activities, dates, laughs, and enjoys college life.

On a rainy night in the outskirts, several men in black held umbrellas and watched a middle-aged man who looked like a dog digging deep pits in the rain.The pit is about as wide as one person, as long as one person, and as deep as one meter.The middle-aged man trembled, and finally dug the hole.The black boss stood under the umbrella opened by the younger brother, pointed a gun at the middle-aged man, and ordered him to lie down.

The hot pot mandarin duck soup base that had been standing still started to move.

The spicy side boiled first, and the red oil splashed to the side of the clear soup.

While playing football, the handsome young man received a call from his hometown. The caller told the handsome young man in a mournful dialect that someone had died, and the police brought back a hand without seeing the body.

Hearing the name of the deceased, the handsome young man was stunned as if he had fallen into an ice cave.After a while, he gritted his teeth and promised that he would find out the whereabouts of his best friend...or the cause of death.

The clear soup part of the other half of the hot pot is also boiling.

The handsome young man bid farewell to the sunshine, and began to walk into the shadows of cities, looking for clues about his buddies.

From the karaoke halls, dance halls, and bars at the beginning, to the dens of MLM organizations, the houses of human traffickers, duck shops, gangster strongholds, underground organ sales offices...

Everywhere he went, the handsome young man couldn't help but confront the evil he was facing.With fists, with knives, fighting one after another.

The bottom of the hot pot is thoroughly cooked.Using chopsticks with one hand, he keeps throwing meat into the boiling clear soup pot from outside the screen.Mutton, beef, fish balls...

The more places the handsome young man walked, the more blood stained the knife in his hand.

Finally, the handsome young man made it through and found Xie Jinzhu.He held the knife, pointed the tip at Hei Boss, and was not afraid of the muzzle of the gun in the latter's hand.The war between the two is on the verge of breaking out...

The voiceover next to the hot pot said: "Now it's time for fire."

Chopsticks picked up a piece of meat from the clear soup, and rinsed it in the spicy part.The camera follows the chopsticks and focuses on the speaker.

A young man with deep eyes opened his mouth, bit the meat into his mouth, and chewed heavily.His eyes fell on the opposite side of the table.

There was no one on the other side of the table.

Yes, just bloody knives and guns.

It was the knife used by the handsome young man, and the gun used by the black boss. 】

……

The trailer ends here.

After that, a poster of "Black Dragon 2" appeared, with a large release date marked on it.The male protagonist and the villain Xie Jinzhu jumped high into the air, one with a knife and the other with a gun, as if they were about to fight but not to fight.Guan Chen, on the other hand, was eating hot pot leisurely at the bottom of the poster.Three people triangle structure.People who don't know the truth at first glance at the trailer and posters will definitely think that Guan Chen is a key role in balancing good and evil, and there are many scenes.

Watching Guan Chen who was eating meat in the video, the trash boy put down the rag, turned his head and said in surprise, "Brother, you have a new movie coming out?"

"..." Guan Chen stared at the screen, feeling dazed, "I'm obviously just a cameo..."

At the beginning, the scene of eating hot pot was filmed entirely because the scene was in a restaurant. At the beginning, the dishes were home-cooked, but the dishes were cold quickly. Although Guan Chen ate it, it did not hinder the performance, but it was tasteless after all. bad mood.So he proposed to eat hot pot, so that the heat is continuously heated, and the director can shoot for several hours without any problem.The director and the screenwriter art discussed it together, and agreed excitedly.At that time, Guan Chen didn't think about why the director and the others were so excited, but now he finally knows.

He hadn't thought about the meaning of eating meat, the symbol of mandarin duck pot, the implication of heat, etc.!
Now how does this trailer make it look like he runs through the entire movie.

Guan Chen searched for "Black Flood Dragon 2" on Weibo, read a few drafts casually, and found that he had indeed become the focus of the announcement.

"【Guan Chen, who is amazing in the film industry, his real debut is actually——"Black Dragon 2"!"

"[Finding gold in the sand: The director of "Black Dragon 2" claimed that Guan Chen had already seen Guan Chen's talent when he was still Xie Jinzhu's assistant.]"

"[Screenwriter of "Black Dragon 2": Guan Chen has full potential to be a screenwriter. Even the lines he uttered impromptu completely surpassed the lines I designed for him.]"

"【"Black Flood Dragon 2" Martial Arts Instructor: "Black Flood Dragon 2" is the same as "Police Story", Guan Chen also deeply participated in the action design!]"

Taking advantage of the popularity of "Police Story" and Guan Chen's publicity, many people bought it online.

Especially those movie fans who were attracted by Guan Chen, complained before that his interviews were too few, too mysterious, and there was no way to learn more about them, so they could actually read the drafts of "Black Flood Dragon" that rubbed off on Guan Chen. With relish.

After reading the draft, some netizens were pleasantly surprised by Guan Chen's comprehensiveness.Especially after the director said "Guan Chen knows movies very well", the screenwriter said "Guan Chen knows words very well", and the martial arts director said "Guan Chen knows fighting skills very well", I feel that Guan Chen may write, direct and act in a movie by himself in the future .

Some netizens marveled at Guan Chen's acting talent. They thought it would be easy for a newcomer like Guan Chen to repeat himself in the same type of drama, but after watching the trailer, they saw a different version of him and looked forward to Guan Chen's performance in the new work.

Some people lamented that "Black Flood Dragon" was lucky, and got Guan Chen to star in such a bad movie at a cabbage price.

There are even a small number of netizens muttering, thinking that Guan Chen really has background, he is obviously a newcomer, but two commercial films were released at the same time, this kind of resources, this kind of layout, no background and no team, who would believe it? .

After reading the draft and comments, Guan Chen felt very speechless:

"The director is really serious. What [Xie Jinzhu's little assistant], an assistant is an assistant, why do you want to add a small word?"

"Brother, is this the point?" The trash boy almost fainted: "You were a cameo, but now you are used as a protagonist, this is a scam, right?"

Guan Chen said that would not be enough: "I filmed a lot of easter eggs, not the main character, but also a supporting role. The audience should not feel very deceived."

The trash boy put down the rag and explained: "What I mean is, big brother, you played a supporting role, but you only got paid for a cameo role. To you, it's a scam!"

Guan Chen patted the table, as if it was true.

"Good job, after I make up the salary, I will give you some as a reward." Guan Chen said.

"Thank you, big brother!" Upon hearing this, the garbage boy excitedly wanted to mop the ground he had just mopped.

Guan Chen smiled and continued surfing the Internet.

In fact, he doesn't care about chasing salary or anything. "The Police" was a big hit at the box office. As one of the producers, Zhang Jingsheng sent a big red envelope to Guan Chen on behalf of the crew, the amount was more than the salary he got from this movie.So Guan Chen didn't have to worry about money at all.

He just wanted to find an excuse to give the trash boy some money.

Guan Chen only returned to Shanghai this morning.

Before I went home and opened the door, I was actually prepared in my heart that my home had been visited by thieves.After all, it's been too long since I came back.

However, to his surprise, the strand of hair caught between the door was still there.

He found that there were a few signs on his door that said [Surveillance inside] in multiple languages.

On the side, the trash boy who followed upstairs proudly said that he posted it.

In addition, the garbage boy also said that he would come quietly every morning, put a garbage bag at the door, and take it away from time to time at night or when he came home from school, creating the illusion that the owner of the house is reclusive.

Trash boy really deserves to be a trash boy.

Guan Chen felt that if it wasn't for the fact that the trash boy was still young and dedicated to studying, he would almost have thought of the trash boy as his assistant's successor.

Guan Chen wanted to give the trash boy a housekeeping fee, but the boy was surprisingly chivalrous and refused to accept the money, saying that it was to thank him for his kindness of a bottle of milk every day.

Guan Chen had no choice but to give up.

Opening the door lock, the room was in a mess, the cabinets were opened wide, the bed boards were shifted, and books fell to the ground in a mess.

The trash boy was stunned, and the pride he had just now disappeared in an instant.

Until Guan Chen explained that this was deliberately messed up before he left, in order to create an illusion that he had already been patronized by thieves, so that the latecomers felt a step late and had no choice but to retreat.

The trash boy breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, what if a thief sees through this trick?
Then there's no way.Guan Chen pointed to the camera hidden in a certain shelf of the bookcase, and said, the only option is to call the police.

After entering this messy home, Guan Chen paid a fee for the trash boy to tidy it up.The trash boy readily agreed.When it was almost noon, the house was almost cleaned up.

Guan Chen turned off the computer, and then began to pack the luggage he brought back.Some clothes, some books, some presents, and some letters from fans.

Seeing Guan Chen unpacking piles of letters to read, the trash boy sat next to him, belatedly sighing: "Brother, you are now a big star!"

Guan Chen snorted, saying that he is still far from being a big star.

The trash boy asked him what it's like to be famous.

Guan Chen thought for a while and said, there are good and bad feelings.

The good thing is that there are more scripts for him to choose from. Manager Qian said that there are reliable and unreliable cooperation invitations sent almost every day.

As for the bad place, it is easy to be recognized when walking on the road.

"Isn't this the meaning of being famous?" The trash boy was puzzled, "If you don't get recognized, you won't be famous."

Guan Chen felt that this was not good at all.Once you are surrounded by people, you can't leave even if you want to. If your enemy hides inside, you don't know where you will suddenly stab him with a knife.

"But I'm already prepared for this. The real bad thing is something else."

After the premiere, it seemed like a long farewell to my best friend, and the relationship between Guan Chen and Wu Ze almost came to an end.Without the promotional task, Guan Chen was not in a hurry to return to Shanghai, but stayed in the capital for several days.Some of them were to dub the post-production of "Key of Destiny", and some days were to attend some parties with Zhang Jingsheng.

There are parties that are more personal and others that are not.

The private ones are similar to the ones I met with Tian Dao before.

In those less private gatherings, there are often some girls from art colleges who are invited to liven up the atmosphere.They wandered around the arena, habitually squeezed between men.No matter what the man next to him said, they were always ready to show reverence, leaning forward and back like a flower waiting to be plucked in the wind. Although the exaggerated reaction has elements of self-entertainment, there is a bit of performance Pleasant, but superficial men will eat this set, easy to be ecstatic, and be touted to be omnipotent for themselves.

Guan Chen is considered a relatively high-quality target because the movie became popular after its release.

But Guan Chen was with the boss in his previous life, and he has seen every scene where he acted. Compared with what the girls said, their acting skills made Guan Chen more interested.

After the girls found that flattery not only failed to impress Guan Chen, but also aroused his vigilance, they resolutely began to talk about the common ground related to art, trying to draw in the relationship.

When Guan Chen heard that he wanted to exchange art, he became interested.

They chatted about movies first, and they talked endlessly about master XX they liked the most.However, these masters, Guan Chen, are not familiar with any of them, so I can only say that I haven’t seen many movies, and I haven’t even watched any of the top 250 rated movies in [Vine Movie]. Between dramas.

The girls put up with this "perfunctory" and started talking about music instead.This time they were cautious and let Guan Chen speak first.Guan Chen said that he is a member of the support club of the Xingyun group, but he usually listens to Meng Jie's songs the most. The last time he went to a concert, he listened to Tan Nian and her band.The girl thought to herself, what kind of mess is this? How can a person's musical taste switch back and forth between classical Chinese music, pop music and the idol industry at the same time.

I felt that Guan Chen was playing tricks, so I stopped talking.

Later, some men also came to him, wanting to introduce him some opportunities to make a fortune, asking him if he wanted to go to some more interesting places, and if he was interested in meeting some more powerful people.

"So the bad thing is, people will befriend you with utilitarian purposes?" The trash boy was thoughtful.

Guan Chen shook his head. The bad thing is: "The more valuable a person is, the more dummy people will surround him. After I see too many dummy people, I feel unfamiliar with real people. It will be farther and farther away from life, and acting skills can no longer improve."

So Guan Chen returned to Shanghai from the capital early.

"Then I kinda hope to see this kind of dummy around me." The trash boy said, "It shows that I have value in me."

Guan Chen laughed: "Very good, your idea is quite true."

In order to reward the younger brother for his hard work, Guan Chen took the trash boy to a restaurant to have a meal.

In the afternoon, Guan Chen was going to go to the studio to pass the time.If you don't appear in front of your subordinates for a long time, you will lose your dignity.

Unlike the last time when the neighbors were facing the enemy, when Guan Chen walked to Xiqing Street, the whole street became a sensation.A few people came out of each store and warmly invited him to sit in the store, preferably with a photo and hang it at the door.Those who want to sign must sign, and those who want to have a group photo need to have a group photo. Even the law firm on the second floor next door, which specializes in real estate and divorce, came to ask Guan Chen to come up and sit down.

Guan Chen dealt with everyone.I felt a little strange. In the past, at times like this, Manager Qian would run down angrily, and then escort him upstairs like the most loyal dog.

However, Manager Qian never showed up today.

Guan Chen wondered if it was Manager Qian who was taking his time off again and was lazy, so he walked upstairs.

When the door was opened, the air pressure in the entire studio was very low. Although the employees sat neatly in their positions, they were cautious and did not dare to speak.

Guan Chen walked in, only to see Manager Qian sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression on his face.

Guan Chen had never seen Manager Qian with such an expression.Even if he landed the position of cadre that day and interfered with Manager Qian's promotion.

On the opposite side of the sofa, sat a middle-aged man who looked about forty.The middle-aged man ignored Manager Qian's gaze, and leisurely buried his buttocks and back in the sofa, relaxing as if he had once been a member of this place.

Guan Chen probably understood that this uninvited guest was the cause of Manager Qian's ugly expression.

"Who is this?" Guan Chen asked.

Seeing Guan Chen appearing, Manager Qian panicked, as if he didn't want Guan Chen to meet the middle-aged man on the sofa.

Before Manager Qian could speak, the middle-aged man stood up with a smile on the other side: "I used to learn acting from Teacher Xing. Brother Jinzhu is my senior brother. There is another one behind him, and I am third. What about you?" , Just call me Third Senior Brother.”

"Oh."

A voice suddenly sounded in Guan Chen's heart:
dummy.
