Actors have no vacation

Chapter 204 Revisiting
Guan Chen knew that Huo Li's lacrimal glands were relatively developed, his nerves were delicate, and he had a problem of crying at every turn.

Facing Holly's tears of joy, Guan Chen understood very well and missed him very much.After all, he studied abroad half a year ago and lived in Holly's house for a short period of time, and he was as harmonious as a family member.

This "family" is not the "family" that the delivery anchors often say.

At that time, Guan Chen and Huo Li went to the movie theater to play tricks during the day, wandering among the various crews; at night, they went out to watch a movie together, and after watching the movie, they found a small restaurant nearby to start a review, and talked about the advantages of the movie at [-], [-], [-]; In their spare time, they also go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and pick up their children.They were inseparable all day, and only separated from each other for a few hours when they slept.After two days like this, the kindergarten teacher was able to safely hand over Xiao Huo to Guan Chen. The security guards in the community stopped questioning him about his background when they saw Guan Chen. Thumbs up, I feel that the relationship between the two of them is so good that it can be taken as a model, as a role model for promoting international friendship and building a harmonious society.

"I was almost scared to death by you!" Holly wiped away tears.

"Don't do bad things on weekdays, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."

"But you didn't knock either."

"I have the key." Guan Chen spoke confidently.

When he lived here last time, Holly gave him a key because he had the habit of exercising in the morning, and he didn't take it back when he left.Guan Chen is not a fool, so if he comes again this time, he will take it out and open the door as a matter of course.

"Then it's fine for you to come, why do you say you're here to collect debts..." Holly stepped forward to hug his son, with a look of rejoicing that he was lost and found again.

"Because I did come to collect debts."

Guan Chen's face was hidden under the brim of his baseball cap.

In my previous life, there was a special debt collection company in charge of the club, and I didn't use violence easily, only aiming at the social death of debtors. I harassed constantly, but obeyed the law.Generally, when Guan Chen needs to take action, the matter is often more serious.

It's just that as a leader in this life, what Guan Chen wants to collect is not arrears, but debts of favor.

He has already understood that favor is a more valuable currency.

Just like in "The Godfather", the godfather helps people solve troubles, and the reward is that the other party will do something for him in the future.

"My new company has opened and I'm in need of staff."

As Guan Chen said, he took out the booklet in his arms.It records the information of the filmmakers he knows, most of whom are the crew of "Police Story" and "The Key to Destiny".

At the beginning, Guan Chen was troubled by "One Good Day Every Day" in the film crew, and he specially helped a few of them solve their minor troubles.For example, there was a female stylist in the film crew who was beaten by her husband. When Guan Chen found out about this, he immediately threatened the husband excitedly.

Now is the time to ask for something in return.

Making commercial films is not the same as making short films for college assignments.When filming the anti-marriage short film, Guan Chen walked from the street to the end of the street, and almost assembled the team, but for "Black Dragon 3", he had to find a regular army.

"But I'm a little conflicted." Guan Chen clicked on the pamphlet and said distressedly, "I helped those people in the past, if I want them to repay me now, wouldn't the good deeds I did not be pure in purpose? Are good people good things?"

This is against his code of conduct, and I always feel a little sorry for the good person card in his other pocket.

Guan Chen hesitated.

"You're overthinking things," Hawley said.

"Making a movie is not about doing business. It's not about bringing together a group of excellent people. In the end, you will definitely be able to produce excellent things." Although Hawley has been working for six or seven years without any improvement, he has been writing scripts during this period, and his mind has always been in a hurry. very clear.

"If the script is good and the money is paid, then there is no such thing as unkindness. It can even be said that if you can think of the other party, the other party may continue to accept your affection." Hawley said that a good script will eventually It is a minority, and everyone is robbing. "With a good script, as long as you can attract a powerful person, other equally powerful people will naturally follow up one by one." Use the script to attract actors, then use actors to attract investment, and then use investment to attract directors , attracting photography with the director...

"On the contrary, if the script is poor, then people will be forced to consume favors, and the people who come to work will not be willing to do it. At most, they will use their work to make a difference. In the end, they will make a pile of garbage.

At the end of the day, script is king.

"Good! Good!" Guan Chen's entangled mind was untied like a headphone cable. He couldn't help but patted Holly on the shoulder and praised: "You are indeed my military advisor!"

Holly waved his hands modestly like a Chinese, saying where and where.

Hawley reminded Guan Chen not to be too happy too early like a real military adviser.Because it is more difficult to come up with a good script.Most of those screenwriters with works have signed contracts and have agents. Even if they write an outline, they will be pushed to various film and television companies. The usual work mode is tailored according to the needs of Party A.As for new screenwriters, if they write a book, they must either participate in film festival venture capital, or actively recommend themselves to large companies through their contacts, or participate in various competitions to stand out, or directly sell to copyright platforms. These are all open channels, such as [Hsinchu 】This kind of fledgling company has no reputation, no security, or even money. It is not easy to intercept a good script from a big company.

However, after hearing this, Guan Chen didn't feel discouraged at all.

"Ho ho ho, things are getting more interesting." He's even as upbeat as the villain.

"It's not too late, let's find the screenwriter now!" Guan Chen stood up.

"Wait, I read in the interview that you seem to be one of the screenwriters of "Black Dragon 3", right?" Hawley expressed doubts.

"Yeah..." Guan Chen nodded slowly, and shouted in his heart, 【It is because I am one of the screenwriters that I have to find other screenwriters! 】

These days "Black Flood Dragon 2" is getting more and more popular, the black director and the screenwriter don't even enjoy the fame and fortune, they actually have to touch him with the plot of the third part every few days, Guan Chen is simply unbearable.

Guan Chen knew his level. Although he had an outline of the story in his mind, he didn't know how to write it out. He didn't know the structure or rhythm, and he didn't know how to write a sentence like a line.

"Uh, then why do you..."

"I'm busy with work, so I may not have time to write it myself." Guan Chen plans to learn from the work model of well-known screenwriting studios. The screenwriter only focuses on the general direction, and the rest of the details are left to the apprentices to write.

"If you can write, you can write it, and add your signature at the end." Guan Chen made it clear to Holly that he wanted to be lazy.

Holly flinched instantly.

In the past seven years, he has worked as a ghostwriter and gunman countless times, and he knows that the right to author is not up to them.

The IP of "Black Flood Dragon" has already been produced, and there is no shortage of good screenwriters to come to the door.If Hawley nods now, he will soon be able to get rid of the current situation of being unknown, bored at home all day long, and even crying outside the house.

Hawley almost nodded.

But in the end all the eagerness turned into a sigh.

He knew that action movies with social criticism like "Black Flood Dragon" were not his specialty.

He couldn't implicate Guan Chen because of his selfishness.

"I shouldn't be able to write well on this kind of subject matter..." Hawley said weakly.

Guan Chen nodded indifferently, and said, "Okay, then I'll find someone else."

【Ah, you should persuade me again...】 Holly clenched his fists, wishing Guan Chen could refute.

It's a pity that Guan Chen giggled and took Huo Ershi to watch cartoons.

……

Guan Chen has strong execution ability.

After going out for dinner with the Hawley family at night, I thought about going to Changping Studios to see if there would be a suitable screenwriter for him to be the shooter.

Holly, as always, used to act as a manager when Guan Chen was not around.

Changping Studios is divided into tourist area and filming area. Some areas require a pass to enter. When Guan Chen used to be a group performer, he was selected before being issued a pass to let him in.

Today's Guan Chen is no longer a selected group performer.As soon as he appeared, he caused a small commotion.Before being completely surrounded, Guan Chen approached an assistant director of an unknown crew and asked if he could make a cameo appearance.

The assistant director happened to know Guan Chen.

Since October, Guan Chen has been the most popular actor in the film and television industry. At the age of 28, he has participated in two "big productions" in a row. of the top few.Among the group performances in Changping Studios, Guan Chen was even more famous.This is not only because of his good acting skills, Ye Luzi, who was born in the capital, but also because there are rumors that Guan Chen, like them, was a group performer in Changping earlier.When Guan Chen appeared on the background board of some TV dramas, Guan Chen directly became an inspirational model of grassroots actors.

Just because he knew how hot Guan Chen was, the assistant director was full of doubts when he saw Guan Chen.Seeing that Guan Chen was so shabby that there was only a "staff" like Hawley, he guessed that the Guan Chen in front of him was some stuntman or special actor who looked very similar to Guan Chen, and wanted to take the opportunity to have sex with him. something.

Guan Chen is the least afraid of this kind of self-certification.

"You look good!"

Guan Chen calmly took out the thing that best proved his identity from his pocket——

[Good man card]!
"Look at this seal, it was stamped by the police." Guan Chen was triumphant, "The ID card can be forged, but if this seal is forged, it is a crime."

The assistant director wrote it.Now [Good Man's Proof] has become the most iconic item with Guan Chen's popularity.

No one in the entertainment industry has ever used a good person's card as an ID card like Guan Chen.

Many extra performers around were very excited after seeing Guan Chen.

Like a leader, Guan Chen shook hands with them cordially and asked about today's vegetable prices.

It was a pity for Guan Chen that none of them gave him presents.

The baseball cap that Guan Chen is wearing now was given by a fan.On the way from Shanghai to the capital, fans kept recognizing him and they were very enthusiastic.Among them, a fan desperately gave Guan Chen a pen and a hat. Guan Chen was very moved, so he accepted them with a smile.

Seeing that the group performers and tourists in the distance received the news of Guan Chen's arrival, they gathered around to watch.

The assistant director hurriedly brought Guan Chen into the studio area.

On the way, the assistant director, on behalf of their crew, warmly said that Guan Chen is very welcome to come as a guest star.

Guan Chen has already become famous, when he is a group performer, he can't be called a walk-on, but a cameo, even if he shows his back and hands, his name must appear on the staff list.

Guan Chen is very happy to make a guest appearance.Because in addition to inspecting screenwriters, he can also inspect staff in other positions to add fresh blood to the company.

The crew he is going to now is the crew of the TV series "Struggle".

Guan Chen searched the Internet, and it mainly tells the story of a group of young men and women who stayed in the capital and struggled hard after graduating from university. "Struggle" has one season a year, and the fifth season has already been filmed. The ratings are very high, and several protagonists are very popular.The most widely circulated plot is that a male protagonist, as the second generation of real estate, yelled "This is not the life I want!" after easily earning tens of millions! ], and then sprinkled the money on the road.Many viewers on the Internet felt that this person was hypocritical and something was wrong, but Guan Chen could empathize with him, because he knew what it was like to be spiritually empty and have no purpose in life.

Guan Chen thought the screenwriter was good, so he wrote it down, so that he could ask some questions in the name of discussing the plot later.

It wasn't until Guan Chen was welcomed in by the crew that he regretted to find that the screenwriter he was waiting for wasn't there.

There are too many characters in this kind of group portrait TV series that has been filmed for several seasons. Basically, one or several screenwriters are behind each character.

The second generation of the money-sprinkling rich character has no role tonight, so his screenwriter is not there either.

After Guan Chen signed the contract and made a cameo in a casual scene, he didn't leave the studio right away. Instead, he took Holly and abducted him to another studio, and recommended himself to be a cameo.

The studio next to it is a crew called "Journey to the West".

It is about that after Tang Monk Sun Wukong and his disciples became Buddhas, countless monsters saw the trend of starting a business, and they followed suit to set up a Buddhist scriptures team, and went to the West Paradise in twos and threes.The protagonist team of the story is composed of a wine and meat monk and four temporarily recruited monsters.They were originally a group of crooked melons and split dates. They only had three minutes of enthusiasm for learning scriptures.Sometimes they meet serial demon killers, sometimes they meet couples who are in love with ghosts, and sometimes they meet greedy grassroots gods. Became a better youkai (myself).Essentially a road movie.

For a person like Guan Chen who is full of problems, reading such a story is very immersive.

He took out his small notebook and thought the screenwriter was quite interesting, so he wrote it down.

In the past, he patronized reading, studying, and laying the foundation. Although he occasionally watched movies, he still had little contact with the movies and TV in this world.Now, after a few random walks, he can see the taste of some TV series that he didn't like to watch before.He can also see the type that he was not interested in before.He felt that there would be more things to watch in the future.

That night, Guan Chen visited several film sets.

Some crews welcome his arrival, some crews don't need guest appearances, and some crews don't even let him in.Among the crews that welcomed Guan Chen, Guan Chen was actually not very interested in one or two subjects, but as a reward for interrupting, he still left a few seconds of footage.

A few directors even wanted to learn from black directors, and added scenes to Guan Chen, hoping that he would play a supporting role in a string of strings.Guan Chen had learned his lesson and was already very experienced. He played Tai Chi, put the director on the ground, and left quickly.

"There will be more production crews during the day tomorrow, shall we continue watching?" Hawley asked him.

Guan Chen shook his head, he couldn't say, he had other arrangements for tomorrow.

"What flowers should I bring to the hospital to visit a patient?"

　Status is a little hard to find.

　　There is another chapter tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
