Actors have no vacation

Chapter 201 Pain
"New company? Sorry, not interested. Next."

The pimp boy Xing Yun waved his hand, and asked Guan Chen to move his position like a door-to-door salesman, so as not to block the guests behind him.

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Guan Chen hurriedly persuaded him further: "Could it be that you can do the pimping business secretly for a lifetime? Hurry up and learn from me, our new company is the most suitable for a person with a criminal record like you! It's not too late to rein in your horse!"

"Pfft... what are you talking about!" Xing Yun almost sprayed the gum on Guan Chen's face.

"Come on, if you join the company now, you will be the veteran of the company. After working for one year, you will become a partner directly." Guan Chen followed the temptation.

"Please be smart." Xing Yun obviously didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

"Our [Hsinchu Film and Television] is a big united and friendly family. When we come in, we are brothers. We share blessings and difficulties together! No matter what problems you encounter, you can come to me! If you have difficulties at home, you can also come to me and organize Will not sit idly by..."

Guan Chen tried to impress Xing Yun in terms of treatment.

However, as Xing Yun listened, his face was solemn like a newly unearthed cultural relic.

"Hsinchu, Hsinchu Gang...don't even bother to hide it now." He muttered to himself, feeling that he couldn't even go.

Guan Chen still enthusiastically elaborated on the corporate culture of the new company, such as "never treat heroes badly" and "all contributions are taken into account by the organization, and the company will be responsible for retirement in the future".

Xing Yun closed his eyes and settled down, neither listening nor speaking, neither sad nor happy, made up his mind to treat Guan Chen's words as fart.

The students around pricked up their ears and listened quietly, they were very interested in the production company run by Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu, two [excellent students of the Xing family class].

After Guan Chen delivered his speech, he was about to continue persuading Xing Yun. Unexpectedly, the students around him couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed forward immediately.

"Brother Chen, where can I submit my resume?"

"Brother, brother, is the new company recruiting actors? Screenwriters are also fine, I can write scripts! Assistants are also fine!"

"Teacher Guan, I'm good at opera, drama, Beijing opera, Kunqu opera... Let me give you a piece,【What a beautiful day~~】"

"Brother Chen, please sign me..."

Guan Chen couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm. While signing his signature, he asked everyone to pay more attention to his Weibo. The recruitment advertisement will be posted on the Internet at that time.

Turning his head to see Xing Yun's stupid face pretending to be asleep, Guan Chen knew that he would not be able to recruit anyone for a while.

He didn't recruit people casually.Make sure you are loyal first, and have a skill second.Those who have withstood the test like Holly, Black Guide, and Bear are good.

Xing Yun is Guan Chen's favorite reserve subordinate.

Although he didn't have much contact with him, Guan Chen was deeply impressed by Xing Yun - he obviously looked ignorant and flamboyant, but unexpectedly he wasn't an idiot.One time was when Xing Yun went to the crew of "The Police" to win over Wu Meng, and Duan Xiaofeng, the mother and son, ran away trying to change the play along the way. The other time was when he went to Beijing to participate in the audition for "Key of Destiny", and he was able to fill in the gaps and tell Guan Chen something about patriarchy. Knowledge.

Moreover, Xing Yun was Guan Chen's agent for Cubs.

Guan Chen is going to learn from Liu Bei, and after three visits to the thatched cottage, he also wants to take down Xing Yun.

"Don't rush to refuse, you will change your mind." Guan Chen left such a sentence in a dark voice, then turned around and left regardless of Xing Yun's panicked questioning.

The students around followed Guan Chen step by step, chatting about signing autographs and taking photos, but at the same time promoting themselves.

Most of the students in the acting class are people who have entered the society, and they already understand that opportunities are caught rather than waited for.

Guan Chen once curiously asked old man Xing why he didn't hire some actors with professional backgrounds, and then earn money from art candidates.For an art candidate, the annual tuition fee ranges from 30 to [-]. With the teaching level and teachers of their Xing Yan training class, it is not a problem to charge [-] a year.

However, the old man Xing said that it is not that simple. The business of art test training is almost monopolized by art schools. It needs connections, test questions, and test-taking skills.It's another way to play.

Guan Chen felt a little regretful, his ambition of laying the foundations of high school acting classes had to be in vain.

Now that it's been a while since he came to the acting class, Guan Chen found some new changes here.

Ever since Guan Chen's live signboard became popular through "The Police", the acting class took advantage of the trend to expand its scale, and even merged the venue upstairs.

After the decoration is completed, it is divided into two floors: [Ordinary Class] and [Frequent Class].One is for amateur students, and the other is for industry stars.

[Ordinary class] On this floor, the registration hall is still full of photos of old man Xing and celebrities, but the furniture has been replaced with new ones, and finally it is no longer shabby.

There are hired teachers on the teacher column, each of which has a series of works, and the teacher resources can be described as abundant. Many of them are supporting roles like Wu Meng, who are gradually unable to act as they get older, but have rich experience.

There is very little content in the column of outstanding students on the side. Xie Jinzhu finally took advantage of "Black Dragon 2" to rank second in the list, only under the group photo of Guan Chen and Zhang Jingsheng.Tanhua is vacant.

"Brother Chen, it is said in the news that you are the martial arts instructor of "Black Flood Dragon", is it true?"

"Master Guan, after I watched "Black Flood Dragon" yesterday, my whole body was aroused. This morning, I suddenly had a new understanding of boxing. Is there a chance for us to discuss it?"

"Mr. Guan, when will the third part be prepared?"

It was just a few minutes before the afternoon class started, and there were more and more students around.

Even the shop assistants downstairs and on the street were well informed and came to watch Guan Chen, who was getting more and more popular recently.

If it was normal, Guan Chen would be blocked by so many strangers at close range, even if he jumped out of the window, he would escape.But not today, because he and Xiao Xiong made an appointment to meet at Xing Yan's acting class in the afternoon.

Although Yue Yue was in an acting class, Xiao Xiong did not come to class.

Recently, her mind is full of part-time work, and she has no intention of learning acting at all.Therefore, when Guan Chen found a new company, the first thing he thought of was to bring Xiao Xiong in, give her a job, pay some salary, and let her stop busy working.

After meeting today, the main thing is to talk about my sister Xiong Ruojin.

The matter of Guan Chen lending money to Xiao Xiong was known by the elder sister, who first called to thank Guan Chen for his kindness, but she still refused to take Guan Chen's money, saying softly that their family had some savings and their illness was not that serious , do not need to spend so much money.

When my sister said this, Guan Chen could only keep the money. After all, he was not a usurer, so he had to lend the money out for no reason.

But Xiaoxiong's posture of working hard made the truth full of contradictions. Guan Chen decided to take a look at his sister's situation when he took the time to go to the capital.

"Ding~"

Guan Chen took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was Xiaoxiong who sent a text message. She said that the part-time job was a little delayed, and she might arrive 10 to [-] minutes late.

Guan Chen didn't care, thinking that he hadn't come to class for a long time, so he might as well use this time to learn something.

So he walked into the acting classroom with a bunch of adult followers.

When Guan Chen saw the teacher, he immediately felt that he and Wu Meng were destined for each other. When he came last time, he also happened to meet Wu Meng in a comedy class.

On the other hand, after Wu Meng saw Guan Chen, he felt very unlucky in his heart. Why does this Guan Chen always come here on Saturdays...

After all, Wu Meng is the second in command of the acting class, very prestigious.With 1 minute left before class, the students surrounding Guan Chen dispersed one after another and returned to their seats to prepare for class.

But there is still restlessness floating in the air, no wonder everyone is excited, being able to take classes with celebrities is enough for them to brag with their friends.

Before the lecture, it is still a warm-up.

Wu Meng walked through the crowd and said, "Today we play improv comedy."

Improv comedy is acting without preparation and planning.It's a great exercise for the comedian's reflexes.

"Because it's improvisation, there is no plan, no preparation, so our performance is to a large extent digging ourselves, because people are the most relaxed when they are themselves, and when they are relaxed, it is easiest to produce interesting things."

After warming up, Wu Meng began to assign groups to everyone.Given a scenario, let everyone play freely.

Looking at the eager expressions of the students around him, Guan Chen realized that he might be the only one in the classroom who hadn't played [Improvisational Comedy].

There are too many missing classes...

"Which group will come first?" Wu Meng asked everyone.

"Brother Chen!" "I want to see Teacher Guan."

Not surprisingly, everyone had high expectations for Guan Chen and wanted to see how talented he was.

But Wu Meng still looked at the student list and clicked on other groups.Teacher Wu is probably taking care of Guan Chen, so that he can learn how to play impromptu comedy.

The scene given by Wu Meng is: a couple, the man goes to the woman's home, picks up someone, and when he is about to go on a date, he meets the woman's parents.

The group that came up played very bloody at the beginning, the man and the woman are brothers and sisters who are related by blood.But the students had a tacit understanding and didn't let the plot become vulgar. The plot was constantly reversed. The man's identity changed again and again, from the identity of the illegitimate child to the son of the old king next door, and finally became the ex-boyfriend of the girlfriend's father... …

"If the impromptu performance is to discover oneself, then these two friends in front of me...!" Guan Chen felt that this kind of performance was too insidious, and if he didn't pay attention, he might come out on the spot.

The second group was called to Guan Chen.

Guan Chen walked up with the team members he assigned.

His role is the man in the couple.

[Ding dong ding dong. 】Guan Chen imitated the doorbell in his mouth, but knocked on the door with his hand.

The classmate who played his girlfriend came over, bent down, and opened the rolling door with a clatter.She said nervously to Guan Chen that her parents came over suddenly today, so she might not be able to date right away, 【I hope you can meet my parents...】 She suddenly looked at Guan Chen in shock: 【Why are you dressed like this? come over!Vest!Tight shorts!Wearing socks and sandals! 】

This is to supplement Guan Chen's setting, and it is a joke that can be used later.

As soon as the words were finished, the girlfriend's parents walked over from behind.

【Who is coming?Boy friend? 】

[You dare to ask my daughter out at such a late hour, do you want to die? ! 】

The classmate who played the role of the father was rather irritable, and angrily picked up a "stick" from behind the door, wanting to give Guan Chen a bad blow.

Just when everyone was thinking about how Guan Chen would handle this scene...

Seeing that Guan Chen's eyes were fixed, he immediately took out the "pistol" from his pocket--the right hand gesturing eight--pointed his index finger, and fired three shots in a row, [Crack!Snapped!Snapped! 】

Beat my girlfriend and her parents to death...

Everyone: "..."

The audience was amazed.

The girlfriend's father was a few beats behind before falling down with his hands on his chest in disbelief.What the hell is this acting on?What is this number?I'm going offline?What the hell is this going on? ...

Wu Meng saw his temples twitching.

Comedy improv, comedy!What do you want to do when you suddenly take out your gun and hit someone! !

The girlfriend was also stunned, clutching her chest, and said miserably: 【Why even I...】

【Shut up. ] Guan Chen was impatient, and shot his girlfriend again.

[I'm a policeman. I have long suspected that you are producing drugs here. I have been undercover for six months and finally caught you all. ] Guan Chen blew on the "muzzle" in a similar manner.

Girlfriend [uh uh ah ah] fell down in pain, super unwilling.

The girlfriend's father lay down on the ground, his expression changed a few times, and he wanted to struggle, saying: [Fortunately, I am wearing bulletproof...]

【I hit your head. 】Guan Chen firmly pointed to the ground, and said, 【Did you see, there is your brain. 】

【…】

The show is over.

30 seconds in total.

Wu Meng rubbed his temples and told Guan Chen that improv comedy is not like this...

It was the same when Guan Chen came to listen last time.After a good comedy creation class, after Guan Chen came, he suddenly turned his style of painting to the suspense crime side.

Wu Meng asked Guan Chen to do it again, and this time no violence was allowed.For this reason, Wu Meng deliberately walked in front of Guan Chen and confiscated three "guns", two "grenades", a "bulletproof vest", and four "daggers" on Guan Chen...

The second opening.

This time, the woman's family of three all behaved well. After Guan Chen knocked on the door, they warmly invited Guan Chen into the room.

It should be a light-hearted comedy this time... Wu Meng thought to himself.

However, he still underestimated Guan Chen's persistence and talent in crime films.

Guan Chen whispered something to his girlfriend's family. The next second, they silently raised their hands, hugged their heads, and squatted down against the wall.

Wu Meng took out a bottle of blood pressure medicine with trembling hands, took it, and asked, "...what did he tell you?"

The three of them said to Wu Meng aggrievedly:
“He said, [I am the police, you are surrounded]…” “[There are sniper rifles pointing at you from outside the window, I also have a gun hidden in my pocket, but I don’t want to take it out, lest the blood splash on my body]… ..." "[If you don't want to die, just squat down with your head in your arms, no nonsense]..."

Wu Meng exhaled a long breath and said to everyone: "Take a rest for 10 minutes."

……

outside the classroom.

"You came to see Teacher Xing today." Wu Meng said to Guan Chen kindly, "Mr. Xing is upstairs."

"Ah, I didn't want to look for him." Guan Chen looked into the classroom.

Wu Meng cleverly stood between Guan Chen and the classroom every time: "He misses you very much. You finally came here, you should go and see him."

Guan Chen thought about it, and thought it was the same.I finally came here, I haven't seen the decoration upstairs, it's a pity not to see it.

Guan Chen checked the time, it was almost time for Little Bear to arrive, so he told her to go upstairs directly.

"Improv comedy is very interesting!" Guan Chen felt that he had learned a lot today, so he made an appointment with Wu Meng: "I'll come again next time!"

"Uh... when are you coming next time?"

"Look at fate!" Guan Chen said goodbye gracefully.

Wu Meng smiled and nodded, making up his mind to transfer to weekday classes in the future.

Guan Chen walked upstairs to the [Further Class].There are relatively few people in the training class, and there is a password at the door.Most of the people who come in and out are artists, and the secrecy is much higher than downstairs.

There are also several performance classrooms, which are small and exquisitely decorated, and most of them are used for one-on-one teaching.

When Guan Chen found old man Xing, old man Xing was in front of a screen, watching a movie with old picture quality. If you look carefully, it is his work when he was young.It is said to be a work when he was young, but Xing Yan was in his thirties at that time, and it was his comeback work after falling to the bottom with nothing.

There are not many scenes, but the old man Xing cut out all his parts, and watched it repeatedly.

Guan Chen didn't know that old man Xing also had this kind of narcissism, or that when one gets old, it is easy to recall the past, the hero talks about being brave in the past, and the old man talks about being a teenager?
Old man Xing seemed to know what Guan Chen was thinking, and said, "An actor, the performance he has watched the most in his life must be his own."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Guan Chen, and said leisurely, "Have you been doing well recently?"

"That's right." Guan Chen sat down beside Xing Yan.Also staring at the performance on the screen.The training class has only opened for a short time, and what I heard taught is the set of inner strength methods of using pain.

What is displayed on the screen is probably the textbook of inner strength and mental method.Xing Yan plays a character with few lines. In most shots, he only has a face covered by long hair, or a hunched back.

But it is such a figure with a hooked body and a sitting posture like a twisted pine tree, which at first glance makes the audience feel the pain of that character and the desperate desire to die.

Xing Yan was a little proud, as if the various roles he played later were not as good as the back view in front of him for a few seconds.

Old man Xing was overjoyed, and said: "Now let me act, I can't act that way anymore."

"What's the matter?" Guan Chen asked.

"If a person is too happy, he has no drive and adventurous spirit. In the art industry, once it is stable, it is easy to be mediocre, and the career is almost over." The subtext of the old man Xing is that he is happier now than he was then.To people in other industries, this is really embarrassing.

But this seems to be the case in the art world. Guan Chen suddenly thought of many singers and movie stars, such as Zhou Tianwang and Wang Tianhou, who produced very ordinary works after they became famous or married and had children.

Old man Xing said to Guan Chen, "So you must not be too happy."

Being cursed like this, Guan Chen almost didn't punch him, he rolled his eyes: "I want to get married too!"

Xing Yan shook her head slightly: "It's not that you can't have a lover and a family, it's just that you shouldn't be too easily satisfied. You have to think, observe the world, and look for things that make you miserable."

Guan Chen felt that this was indeed a problem.His gangsters, killers, and gang bosses are all performed heartily based on his inner pain.

If there is no pain in the future, he really has no confidence to surpass these roles he played before.

So according to Old Man Xing's suggestion, after finishing "Black Flood Dragon 3", he has to ask for trouble...

"Does the inner strength mentality of our school have to be so cruel?" Guan Chen wondered.

"Cruel is not our genre..."

Old man Xing was halfway through, because at this moment, Little Bear came upstairs, and after seeing Guan Chen, she waved and walked over.

Although Xiao Xiong still smiled when he saw Guan Chen, but compared to the past, his whole person has subtly changed.

Old man Xing looked at Xiao Xiong for a while, and suddenly said to her: "Don't go to comedy class next time, come and try a real drama."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Little Bear didn't understand.

But Guan Chen understood.

Little Bear's stability and happiness were broken.

She has her pain.

and……

It's time to pay tuition for the new year.
