Actors have no vacation

Chapter 168 Company
Qian Liangyi didn't dare to let Guan Chen drive, so he still drove Guan Chen to the acting class.

As soon as Guan Chen got into the car, he was busy rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the car, taking out all the things in the storage box and tossing about it, and reaching out to pick something under the seat for a while.

Qian Liangyi was made so guilty that he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

Even though he knew there would be nothing weird in the car, he was just terrified.This kind of fear is like last year when Guan Chen reminded him to be careful about his luggage at the airport. Every time he went through the airport security check, he was terrified, afraid that there would be some prohibited items in the suitcase for no reason.Because of the unstable variable "criminal", his innocence is always in an uncertain state until it is completely observed.

"What are you looking for?" Qian Liangyi asked dryly.

"Bugging device." Guan Chen stared at the stereo, as if wondering whether to take it off and check inside.

"..." Qian Liangyi really wanted to drive Guan Chen out of the car.

"Just kidding. The first thing to do when looking for a bug is not to mention the bug, and to pretend you didn't find it after you find it." Guan Chen stretched his waist with a smile, and said, "This is the same as anti-tracking." There is a reason."

Qian Liangyi felt that black blood flowed into his ears again, and his thoughts became less clean again.

Subconsciously looking in the rearview mirror, Qian Liangyi saw a car following him.

This guy's tracking technology is really not that good...

Qian Liangyi was sure that they were being followed.

The person following them is Liu Lihao.

When he left the studio just now, Guan Chen refused to let the other party get into the car, Liu Lihao did not give up, and drove the car cheekily, and followed him persistently.

Qian Liangyi reminded Guan Chen: "Stay away from that person behind, he is not a good guy. This time, he is probably here for advertising endorsements or something, to earn referral fees."

Guan Chen responded with his nose, and didn't pay much attention.He picked out music albums one by one, ready to listen to them one by one.

Now what is playing on the stereo is a girl group song, full of energy.

"When the time comes, no matter how outrageous the price he offers you, don't believe him."

In order to let Guan Chen understand the seriousness of the matter, Qian Liangyi began to tell Guan Chen some inside stories about advertising endorsements.

"Luxury goods mostly rely on contacts in the fashion circle. Non-first-line celebrities want to endorse, and they are seeking resources upwards to promote themselves. In fact, this kind of endorsement fee is not much. Those who can really get sky-high endorsement fees are often some It’s a miscellaneous brand that came out of nowhere, it’s backward compatibility, and celebrities get sky-high endorsement fees to sell their own reputation and fans.”

In the sweet or youthful singing of idol singers, Qian Liangyi said: "Generally, such idol artists have a short shelf life, and they only earn money for a few years, so they receive the most miscellaneous brand endorsements. If you want to know which artists and The company is the most ruthless in cutting off fans, just look at which brands they endorse, and it is basically clear."

Guan Chen asked: "Yao Zhiyu, Pan Xu and the others' [Xingyun] is also like this?"

Qian Liangyi said: "[Blue Whale] is a rare company with good food and good looks. They are not so cruel to artists and fans, and they look farther away. Several of their groups are in their 40s and [-]s, and they will not disband. A sideline job, a sideline job, a behind-the-scenes switch, release an album every few years to meet fans, earn a lot of money, and tie up a relationship for most of your life, it’s a wise person’s way of playing.”

Guan Chen nodded, and began to look at the gas station receipts on the car.

Qian Liangyi returned to the original topic: "Do you have any brands or products you are interested in?"

Guan Chen's ability to carry goods is actually very strong.

In the past six months, Guan Chen has driven the sales of many products through the small videos and small classes posted on the Internet.It is a blessing for the brokerage company to have such an artist with strong delivery ability under their hands. Business negotiations can be much easier, and there are many opportunities to win the favor of big brands.It's a pity that the goods Guan Chen brought were very unpopular, even unpopular.Not some strong rope, some kind of fire extinguisher, even a hardware wrench and a hammer.

At first, Qian Liangyi hoped that Guan Chen could add some mainstream products, such as clothing and drinks.Guan Chen listened to it, so in the later video, he used the pants from that clothing brand to test the sharpness of the blade, and used the orange juice from that beverage brand to make napalm (both of which were stopped by Xie Jinzhu).Qian Liangyi no longer dared to interfere with Guan Chen's creation.

"Can you get me an image ambassador who cooperates with the government?" Guan Chen asked.

Qian Liangyi rolled his eyes and said, "No!"

He didn't understand why Guan Chen was so obsessed with this kind of endorsement for public welfare and government cooperation.

Image ambassadors are even more difficult to deal with than national brand endorsements.Popularity is just one of the criteria, image, character, reputation, works, popularity... are all considered.

Helping a guy like Guan Chen who will get into the game at any time to accept this kind of endorsement is basically looking for a dead end, throwing himself into a trap, a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken, and a mouse dancing Thomas in front of a cat.

"It's almost November." Guan Chen sighed suddenly.

"What's wrong with November?" Qian Liangyi remembered after finishing speaking, "Oh, yes, November is your birthday."

"November, "Extreme Man", [Wanted in the City] is about to start the second time." Guan Chen slowly grinned, showing a very dangerous smile: "There should be preparations for a revenge It’s been a year, and when the time comes, I’ll make a bet with those scouts, if I win, they’ll make me an image ambassador.”

After hearing this, Qian Liangyi could only fulfill the obligations that every law-abiding citizen should fulfill, persuading him: "Uh, gambling is not good..."

"What's wrong?" Guan Chen said with a smile, "Every time you ask for leave to be lazy, aren't you betting on whether I can catch you?"

Qian Liangyi was speechless and gave up communicating.I just hope the police uncles don't lose.

The car stopped in front of [Xing Yan Performance Training Class].

Qian Liangyi hadn't been here for a long time because the acting genius of the Xingjia class suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.I found that this place is very different from the place where the birds don't shit in my memory.

First of all, the signs are different.

The signboard of [Xing Yan Performance Training Class] has been made old.

Yes, it is old.A few good words make it look like a hundred-year-old store, with a wave of historical precipitation rushing to the face.

There was also a banner hanging outside the wall of the floor belonging to the acting classes, which read:

"Congratulations to my class student [Guan Chen], with his debut work "Police Story", and [Zhang Jingsheng] together won the box office of 16 billion!"

Downstairs, a few ignorant girls raised their heads and pointed at [Zhang Jingsheng]'s name, shocked that Zhang Jingsheng was also a student of the acting class? !
Qian Liangyi sighed.

After parking the car, he walked upstairs with Guan Chen.

Many passers-by who came to visit along the way were very excited after seeing Guan Chen, shouting "Brother Chen! Brother Chen!" and surrounded Guan Chen, asking for autographs or group photos.

Guan Chen was very talkative and satisfied them one by one.It's just that he is very particular about where he stands. He stands on the stairs and asks everyone to stand on the stairs, keeping a distance of three steps at all times.

This guy Liu Lihao cut out at some point, put on the appearance of a manager, stopped between Guan Chen and passers-by, and shouted loudly: "Sorry, sorry, brother Jiachen has something to do right now. Yes, don’t be in a hurry, they are all in the same class, and there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, this is our school, we can’t escape.”

Everyone really stopped besieging Guan Chen.Some passers-by were attracted by the hints in the words and began to consume impulsively, planning to follow them upstairs to have a look.

Liu Lihao sent Guan Chen an expression of asking for credit.

Guan Chen nodded expressionlessly, noncommittal.

Liu Lihao was very happy, obediently followed behind Guan Chen, and stopped being extra courteous.

Seeing this scene, Qian Liangyi frowned slightly, always feeling that what Liu Lihao was planning was far greater than the endorsement fee.

A group of people arrived at the acting class.

Like the outside of the building, the interior of the performance class has also undergone a lot of decoration.

First of all, "Police Story" and "Black Dragon 2" were prominently hung on the [Student Works Wall].

The other wall is full of photos, all of which are photos of Xing Yan and some well-known artists, including actor and actress queens, and singer kings and queens.

Seeing these photos, passers-by who didn't know the truth were dazzled and filled with emotion. They marveled at Xing Yan's wide network and felt that learning acting here must have a bright future.

Guan Chen's arrival was warmly welcomed by the students in the hall.

It was the recess of Wu Meng's comedy class.

Guan Chen grabbed a student and asked if Little Bear had come.The student shook his head and answered no.

Guan Chen nodded, not in a hurry to trick Mr. Xing into joining the wedding alliance.When the class started again, he walked into the classroom and found a corner to listen in.

Qian Liangyi also listened together.

On the side, Liu Lihao rolled around in the variety show circle. He was considered a half-comedian. He naturally recognized Wu Meng, the big comedian back then. He said, "Mr. Xing, please invite an expert to teach."

Qian Liangyi ignored him.

In the recent hit movie "Police Story", Wu Meng played a secondary role.

In the film, Wu Meng is still the same, he can amuse people by showing his face.

But in reality, Wu Meng is a slightly silent person with a mean smile.

This is of course related to the ups and downs experienced in life, but at the same time Qian Liangyi also understands that for a person like Wu Meng who has acted in comedies for more than half his life, everything in the world can be used as a joke, but once a person finds out that everything is funny When it is time, it means that it is understood-everything ridiculous is equal to all absurdity and meaninglessness.Many comedians are depressed because they see too clearly and think too deeply.

On the stage, Wu Meng is giving a lecture:
"If a drama wants to establish and develop drama, it must have a solid logic so that the plot can advance layer by layer.

Comedy is different.Comedy drama does not rely on solid logic, but on a certain degree of exaggeration and coincidence to build this drama.Because of exaggeration and coincidence, to some extent, comedies are more dramatic than dramas.The absurdity produced by this drama is the key to making the audience feel funny. "

Wu Meng asked everyone to play a game.The students spoke one by one, and used the method of solitaire to make up a story together to see what the direction of the story would become.

Start with the last row.

Student A raised his head: "A certain person dreamed that his classmate was an alien. After waking up, he began to observe this classmate, and took everything that was different from normal people as the ironclad evidence of aliens. "

Student B took over the baton and continued to make up: "The students who were observed realized that they were being observed, and they were very nervous. They mistakenly thought that the other party was observing them because they had a crush on them. Ah, let me add one more thing—they are all men."

There was a burst of booing laughter in the classroom, as if anticipating the follow-up funny and interesting development.

Sure enough, the next few students began to make up a series of interesting plots and characters around this core.

Guan Chen was in the corner of the last row.When a row of students had finished speaking, he suddenly squatted to the edge and said, "I'll come, I'll come."

The students recognized Guan Chen, so naturally they didn't mind letting Guan Chen take the bat.

The story was successfully handed over to Guan Chen who was sitting on the far side.

Guan Chen began to make up: "Actually, that classmate is indeed an alien. After his identity is discovered, we can only kill the classmate who discovered his secret and dismember him." Guan Chen has a strong desire to create, "But Dismemberment requires a lot of water. A family with normal water consumption suddenly consumes a lot of water, and the abnormality of the water meter will attract the attention of the relevant units, so someone came to check the water meter."

Guan Chen looked expectantly at the students in the penultimate row, to see how they would continue the story.

However, the classroom was silent.

Only student Geng muttered there: "Check the water meter... check the water meter..."

Student Geng was stunned for half a minute, completely unable to continue.

Wu Meng had no choice but to come out and clean up the mess, saying that this game probably meant that.

"Teach everyone to play another small game." Wu Meng gave each of them a blank card, asking them to write something interesting recently on the card, and later he would collect the cards, shuffle them, and choose them at random. If you connect those irrelevant things on the card together, it will also produce unexpected absurd effects.Wu Meng pointed towards a certain corner and emphasized: "Our class is a comedy class, so don't bring out suspenseful material for now."

Everyone took the cards and started to write what they thought was fun.

Wu Meng walked off the stage and took a sip of tea, then started to walk around the seats casually with his hands behind his back to see how everyone was writing.

When Wu Meng walked behind Guan Chen, Wu Meng looked at the content above and couldn't help blurting out: "Okay, okay, okay!"

The students were shocked and looked at Guan Chen with admiration.As expected of him!Everyone was curious about how wonderful the content that could make the serious teacher Wu Meng lose his composure and praise.

Qian Liangyi couldn't help but walk over to have a look.

I saw that Guan Chen's paper was filled with huge characters [好].

"I..." Qian Liangyi lost his ability to express himself in an instant, and almost breathed out the fragrance.

"I haven't encountered anything interesting recently, so I used it to practice calligraphy." Guan Chen explained while turning his pen.

"Awesome!" Liu Lihao flattered him from a very tricky angle, saying that Guan Chen's sense of being funny in an invisible way is what many comedians dream of, it's really amazing.

"Funny is invisible? Then I'm still a bit short." Guan Chen hummed and became humble.

Wu Meng rubbed his temples and announced that everyone should rest for 5 minutes after writing.He called Guan Chen and Qian Liangyi outside the classroom and asked him, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Guan Chen said that he came to see Teacher Xing, "Come to listen to the class by the way—" "He's upstairs." Wu Meng quickly pointed to the ceiling.

"You missed a few lessons, come and make up for it next time when you have time, you can do your work first in this lesson." After Wu Meng finished speaking, he went back to the classroom and closed the door behind him.

Guan Chen had no choice but to busy himself with his business.

Because of Guan Chen's overnight fame, the business of the performance class has been booming again and again.One classroom is no longer enough.

In order to prevent those students who are interested in performing from wandering outside the art hall, Xing Yan has already rented the venue above the performance class, and plans to create two more classrooms.

When Guan Chen and his group walked upstairs, they saw Xing Yan and Xing Yun, the grandfather and grandson, painting the wall—Xing Yun was in charge of doing the work, and Xing Yan was in charge of directing.

Seeing Guan Chen's arrival, Xing Yan was very happy.However, when he saw Liu Lihao behind him, Xing Yan was stunned for a while, but he still recognized the person, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.Thinking about it, Liu Lihao's departure did not only hurt one person's heart.

Qian Liangyi said: "This afternoon, I suddenly came to the studio, and I was taken aback. When he heard that we were coming, he drove his own car and followed."

This is tantamount to explaining that they and Liu Lihao are not in the same group.

Xing Yan nodded, turned around and instructed his grandson to continue working.

"Where's Jin Zhu?" Xing Yan asked Qian Liangyi.

Qian Liangyi said, go run a publicity campaign.

Xing Yan asked Guan Chen, "Why don't you go?"

Qian Liangyi thought to himself, another victim of the "Black Dragon 2" trailer.

"I was just playing tricks at the time, and it wasn't written in the contract that I would follow up on publicity." Guan Chen said that he had a lot of business to do in the future.

Xing Yan was curious about Guan Chen's business.

Guan Chen said: ""Life Alone" airs in December, and filming will start almost in November. Then there is a competition for "Extreme Man", which is about endorsement, which is very important." And then the most important thing The new wedding business, "I'm planning to get a production team here to make short films."

The leading actors of the short film are the groom and the bride, two amateurs, maybe the friends of the bride and groom will also play a supporting role.For Fu Huadao's editing and directing of art, he already has someone on his side.At that time, many scenes will require group performances, Guan Chen thought, and give the opportunity to earn extra money to the students in the acting training class.After all, some students are busy working part-time, and the financial conditions are not abundant, so it is better to practice acting while working part-time without delay.

Xing Yan did not object after listening.

Seeing that things are almost settled like this.

At this moment, Liu Lihao suddenly interjected and said, "It's better to start a company."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Liu Lihao was not afraid, and actively expressed: "If you hear a good love story from a client, you can use it as a material, make it seriously, and then sell it to a TV station or an online platform. In this way, from actor training to From operation to filming and production, an industrial chain is formed. There is a lot to be done in this matter.”

Qian Liangyi's heart skipped a beat.

However, Guan Chen was very happy when he heard it, and suddenly realized: "Supporting by selling... No, supporting war by fighting, not bad!"

Seeing that things were getting bigger and bigger, Qian Liangyi jumped out to stop it.Because for making a short film, the production team can be simple, but once you want to make a work, it’s not a trivial matter, and if you spend money, throwing in tens of millions is not enough.

Qian Liangyi stared at Liu Lihao viciously.

For a moment, Qian Liangyi suddenly felt that Liu Lihao's appearance was to cause trouble for the studio.

On the other hand, Liu Lihao strikes while the iron is hot, suggesting that Guan Chen can start thinking about the name of the company or studio.

"Personally, I think [Jinsha] is a good name." Liu Lihao said, it sounds like a lot of money. Everyone is panning for gold in sand, and they are panning for sand in gold.

"Jinsha..." Guan Chen frowned, and vetoed it on the spot: "It feels like a bathing center or a nightclub, unlucky, and it seems that it is easy to be taken away by someone."

Qian Liangyi sighed, he knew he couldn't stop Guan Chen.But he knew that there was one person in the world who could stop Guan Chen.

"This matter is too urgent. Before making a decision, at least ask your elder brother first?" Qian Liangyi said to Guan Chen, wiping off his sweat.

Guan Chen nodded solemnly: "Indeed. For such a big matter as naming the company, you should first ask the elder brother what he thinks."
