Actors have no vacation

Chapter 200 New Company

Guan Chen wants to take a vacation, it has nothing to do with relaxing and being lazy.

It's just because Zhang Jingsheng once told him that the experiential style of his performance is almost hypnotic, and it is impossible to get rid of emotions immediately after being fully involved, so he needs to rest.

Zhang Jingsheng's suggestion to Guan Chen is that in a year, four months are used to prepare for the role, four months to shoot, and the remaining four months are to live a good life, get rid of the role, accumulate insights, and settle yourself.

Guan Chen didn't quite understand that every time he finished filming, he was full of energy, gained a lot of strength from the role, and couldn't wait to look forward to life. He didn't feel that he was hypnotized at all, but Zhang Jingsheng was a very good actor after all. , and also an honorary professor of the Academy of Art, an intellectual and cultural person, Guan Chen can't think of Zhang Jingsheng's words as nonsense.

Leave the role aside for the time being, but it is really necessary to accumulate insights and precipitate yourself.

Although he is called a talented actor by many people, Guan Chen is the most aware of his abilities, and understands that his acting skills are mainly limited by his knowledge level. outside role.For example, Guan Chen had a hard time reading the script of a literary film that Hawley gave him before, and his mind was full of [Why does this character behave like this?Is he sick? ],【What the hell is this movie talking about? ], 【Is Holly sick? 】.After that, Huo Li came to ask how it was written several times, but Guan Chen could only politely say that he didn't understand it.

In the final analysis, it is better to read more books, do more good deeds, and observe life more.

It's just that the big brother suddenly created a new company at this time, which disrupted Guan Chen's plan.

Although "Black Flood Dragon 2" has only just been released, the response has been strong. The box office growth and word-of-mouth spread have far exceeded expectations. Prepare to develop the third part.

Guan Chen, as one of the scheduled leading actors and martial arts instructor, also added a new title of co-producer this time.

That means his rest time is shortened.

But Guan Chen was not unhappy at all.

"Is it too early to be a producer now?" Zhang Jingsheng asked on the phone, with a bit of worry in his tone.

Zhang Jingsheng didn't know if asking Guan Chen would make Guan Chen unhappy, but he hesitated for a few seconds before asking.Because in his opinion, Guan Chen has a pure heart in a sense. If he can go far in the future as a pure actor, any distraction would be a waste of his talent.

Zhang Jingsheng has worked as a producer before, so he knows the responsibilities of a producer best. The ins and outs of a film, from the determination of the theme of the script to the promotion of the release, all need to keep an eye on the project to move forward. Dealing with all kinds of people, as an actor, it is inevitable to be distracting.

But Guan Chen said, "It's okay."

He said: "At least this role will not distract me. As a producer, I am actually experiencing the role."

"Experience the role?" Zhang Jingsheng was puzzled.

"Being a producer, forming a gang, shouldering the livelihood of dozens or hundreds of people; paying wages to your subordinates on time; identifying who is loyal, who has a different heart, and who is fishing in troubled waters; talking to people, talking to the devil...it's not Is it the same as what the boss of the underworld is doing?" Guan Chen said with a smile, this kind of work is very suitable for him to understand the role.

Why he was abandoned by his boss is a question that Guan Chen can hardly let go of.

He thought he would never be able to figure it out, but "Black Dragon 3" gave him a chance to find the answer.

Guan Chen tries to use the tentacles of performance to retrieve memories, to identify, understand, and empathize in the performance, and finally to reach the truth in imagination.

[Boss Chen] in "Black Flood Dragon 3" is a statement Guan Chen gave himself.

It is impossible for Guan Chen to experience the role by being the boss of the society. Fortunately, he has a position as a producer, and the nature of the work is similar.

"Experiencing the role... Hey, if you say it like this, it's still reasonable." Zhang Jingsheng was persuaded by Guan Chen's reason.

The two of them entered the topic of today's phone call.

"Have you got the script yet?" Zhang Jingsheng asked.

Guan Chen said that the first draft is already available, but after "Black 2" is released, a summary meeting may be held to adjust and adjust the script of the third part according to the problems of the film and the audience's feedback.

But Guan Chen still took out the story he had imagined.The plot is relatively general, but the direction of the plot is fairly clear.The purpose and purpose are all there.

After listening to the outline of the script, Zhang Jingsheng decided, "Okay, I'll vote for this movie."

"You haven't even read the script yet!" Guan Chen was very puzzled, the sixty pages of PPT he specially asked the trash boy to make last night hadn't come in handy yet!

"Investment, some invest in projects, some invest in people." Zhang Jingsheng said that he had also seen the entire interview of the crew of "Black Dragon 2". After the news spread on the Internet, many people in the industry did not believe it. It's a hype, but Zhang Jingsheng worked with Guan Chen for a period of time, and he is very aware of Guan Chen's ability to infiltrate the crew. He said: "As long as 80% of the interviews are true, then this project will not lose money."

Guan Chen is very cautious, saying that there is still a possibility of losing money, because the film may be too "realistic" and "negative energy", and I am afraid it will be stuck in the review stage.

Zhang Jingsheng laughed out loud, thinking that Guan Chen was very humorous, pretending to be a foreign guest very much.

"By the way, what's the name of your production company?" Zhang Jingsheng asked.

"Hsinchu."

This name was given by the big brother.

In the [Battle Raising War / Wool Out of Sheep 8.0] plan, for the name of the new company, Guan Chen actually provided several names for the big brother to choose one from.Even the logo was drawn by Trash Boy.

For example [Cliff], which means that it is not too late to rein in the horse. The trademark is a stick figure of a horse, squatting like a dog, braking like a cartoon, with smoke billowing behind its buttocks;

Another example is [Furnace Light], which symbolizes the wish of returning to the furnace and rebuilding. The trademark is not a cauldron, but a building that looks like a prison with circles of caltrops;
Another example is [Shawshank], which is convenient for self-salvation. The trademark is a person with open arms in the rain;

Others include [Glorious Labor], [Volunteer Action]...

As a result, none of them were used.

The senior brother said that each of these names is a good name. He really had a hard time deciding which one to use. Finally, he had to think of one by himself, and said, it was called [Hsinchu].

Taken from Zheng Banqiao's "Xinzhu", there is a sentence in it: [Xinzhu is higher than the old bamboo branches, and it is all supported by old cadres. 】

Guan Chen has binge-read ancient poems in the past few months, and immediately appreciates them.

These two poems say that Hsinchu is greener than blue, and the growth of Hsinchu depends on the active support of old branches.The old and new generations are happy and harmonious, which has a good meaning.It fully embodies that the old bamboos headed by Qian Liangyi have recognized the form, given up their illusions, determined their position, and are ready to do logistics and support for the Hsinchus represented by Guan Chen.Moreover, bamboo has a very good quality since ancient times. The elder brother used bamboo as a metaphor for others, and praised him as tenacious, upright, and self-reliant like bamboo...

Guan Chen immediately agreed to use this name for the new company.

Although the names he gave are useless, at least they can be used in the future if they are kept. They are much, much better than the [Jinsha] chosen by the third brother Liu Lihao, which looks like a bathing city or a night party.

"Bamboo has beautiful meanings and rich symbols, and both giant pandas and red pandas like to eat it." Guan Chen is very proud, but he doesn't know what he is proud of.

Zhang Jingsheng asked where the new company was opened, but he hadn't given the opening gift yet.

Guan Chen: "...the location hasn't been decided yet."

Zhang Jingsheng asked again, the current number of people in the production company.

Guan Chen: "...one, two, three... at present there are only five and a half."

"Why... No, what's going on with this half?" Zhang Jingsheng complained.

Guan Chen switched the phone from his left hand to his right hand, and turned to look at the trash boy sitting in front of the computer and struggling to modify the PPT.

"This half means to prepare cadres." Guan Chen has high hopes for the trash boy.

For these books in Guan Chen's house, the garbage boy sometimes came to clean up, and would borrow a few books along the way.

Trash boy is not rare to read literature. He said that he can't understand the human and worldly ways in the book. Now he can only understand the shallowest layer of storytelling. When he grows up, he can see another deeper feeling. , so there is absolutely no need to waste time at his current age.However, reading books on psychology, social science, and economics is different. Those laws exist objectively. After reading them, they will be useful for the next five or ten years.

Guan Chen was speechless, so he had to silently book the future of this [Bamboo Forest Boy] in his heart, and planned to train him as an assistant.

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Jingsheng, Guan Chen said to the trash boy who was reading, "You study hard, the position of general manager of the new company is reserved for you."

The trash boy was puzzled: "Isn't that fat Manager Qian?"

Guan Chen said, "Of course not!"

Forty percent of the new company's shares belonged to Guan Chen, [-]% to senior brother, and Qian Liangyi had no share at all.

Although Qian Liangyi had already said with the rolling of his eyes that he would not go to the new company if he was killed.But Guan Chen knew that Qian Liangyi was using arrogance to cover up his grief.

Guan Chen snorted coldly, not softening his heart at all.

Hawley, who is from the United States, talked with Guan Chen very early on that part of the reason why the film and television in the United States could not develop and was produced in piles of rubbish was that, from the production company, to the studio, to distribution, the Everyone is fighting internally, and they only care about their own future and position. No one cares about the quality of the work. They wait until the fighting is over before starting the project, and things are already out of shape.

Guan Chen took it as a warning.

The elder brother handed over the new company to Guan Chen and asked him to form a team. Guan Chen must first place his confidants.

Sorry, Manager Qian, political struggles are so cruel.

Guan Chen smiled sinisterly at his phone for a while, then stood up, and while changing his coat, he asked the trash boy, "I'm going out now, do you want to settle your lunch by yourself or go out with me?"

The garbage boy turned over a page of the PPT and said that he would eat it when he got home.

"Brother, where are you going?" the trash boy asked him.

Guan Chen put his coat over his shoulders, and said coldly like the boss in various crime movies: "Go and gather people."
