Actors have no vacation

Chapter 207 Alive
When Xie Jinzhu heard that Guan Chen was going to stay in the capital for a few days, he felt a little regretful.

After the release of "Black Dragon 2", the performance has been rising all the way. Xie Jinzhu ushered in the second spring of his career, returned to the public eye after a long absence, and received some advertisements.After Xie Jinzhu was busy with the interviews and taking pictures, he had some free time and was planning to go on a trip with Guan Chen or something.Their brothers and sisters have been busy for more than half a year, and it has been a long time since they played together.

Xie Jinzhu had already figured out where to play, but Guan Chen called him today and told him, "Our soundtrack is sick".

"Soundtrack??" Xie Jinzhu switched the phone from his right hand to his left, "When will we have a soundtrack?"

His eyes turned to Qian Liangyi who was at the side, and Qian Liangyi shook his head expressionlessly, indicating that he didn't know either.Qian Liangyi was not surprised by this at all, even if he heard that Guan Chen had harbored a group of criminals in the new company, he would not be surprised.

Guan Chen said on the phone that the soundtrack, that is, Xiao Xiong's sister, is sick now, and this disease is a bit difficult to deal with, and it will cost a lot of money. More importantly, she doesn't want to borrow money.

In the first half of her life, her father and younger sister lived frugally for her to learn the piano. She didn't want to drag down the family's finances again because of her own illness, so that the elderly father and younger sister who had just lived a good life, lived In the shadow of debt.

Guan Chen said: "It's not difficult to understand. It's a bit like on the battlefield. After some people are injured, they will endure and don't drag down their teammates. Once they find that they have no hope, or their existence will bring disaster to their teammates, they will Thinking of self-destruction. It’s also a bit like a person who owes gambling debts. He didn’t want to hurt his family, so he jumped off the building.”

"..." Xie Jinzhu is actually hard to understand, after all, he has never been on the battlefield, nor has he been in a casino.

However, Xie Jinzhu is in his forties, and has read hundreds of romance novels, among which there are many couples separated due to terminal illness, so he has some experience in such situations.

"In order not to bring pain to those around me, I chose to kill myself. But this kind of self-killing will also bring harm to those who love him, and it is even very likely that it will remain in the hearts of these living people for a lifetime. A shadow that can't be dispelled." Xie Jinzhu sighed, thinking of the touching storylines in several of the novels, his voice could not help but choke.

"Ah." On the phone, Guan Chen was surprised, as if he knew something.

"What?" Xie Jinzhu sniffed his nose, not knowing why.

"I didn't expect you, senior brother, to be a person with a story."

"Uh, 'I didn't expect'..." Xie Jinzhu was suddenly curious about his image in the heart of the younger brother.

"Self-killing will bring harm to those who love him. That's how it is." Guan Chen changed the subject with a high emotional intelligence, "So, sometimes helping patients end their pain is not necessarily doing good deeds."

"It's never good to do good." Xie Jinzhu said, Huaxia doesn't have euthanasia or anything. Helping people end their pain will be convicted of intentional homicide.

"I'll stay in the capital for a few more days and go back by myself in a few days."

Guan Chen said that he had to find a way to stop his sister from killing herself, and not make Xiao Xiong uncomfortable.He also said that he had bought two reference books in the bookstore of the hospital, "Overcoming the Pain" and "My Husband with Bipolar Disorder", and bought some comics at the newsstand in front of the hospital, but he didn't know if it was useful.

"Okay, remember to eat on time and wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."

After exhorting, Xie Jinzhu hung up the phone and said with emotion: "Ah Chen is like this, with a bodhisattva heart."

"Hehe, yes, Guanyin Bodhisattva." Qian Liangyi, who was next to him, agreed.

In "Journey to the West", when the red boy was about to be beaten to death by Monkey King, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared on the stage and rescued the red boy. From then on, the red boy worked for Guanyin as a small follower.

Thinking of a follower, Qian Liangyi remembered that Guan Chen found a follower two days ago.

It's not [Assistant], it's not [Secretary], it's just [Slave], a position that doesn't exist in an ordinary company.

In his capacity as the president of his new company, Guan Chen specially set up a [Slave Department], including Xiong Yu, Di Fu, and Wu Yan.

Qian Liangyi was shocked, two of Guan Chen's three attendants were still underage!In order to avoid crimes such as employing child labor, Guan Chen also deliberately set up the two minors as trainees called the "Subjuvenile Group", and paid [-] yuan a month in the name of subsidies.Hehehe.Qian Liangyi now only hopes that when Guan Chen enters one day, a reporter who understands righteousness will come to interview him, and he will loudly tell the world that he is actually a victim too!
"Brother Bamboo."

"Black Flood Dragon, handsome!"

"Congratulations, Brother Zhu."

On the way from the dressing room to the recording studio, staff members kept saying hello to Xie Jinzhu.

This is the treatment he never had when he came to record "Life Alone".

Xie Jinzhu and Guan Chen, as brothers from the same school, acted together in a film for the first time. Naturally, they were deeply tied up during the promotion, and the topic focused on their brotherhood.

When they participate in variety shows together, the effect is that one plus one is greater than two. The market of "Black Dragon 2" is booming, which led to the exposure of "Life Alone".After the preview was broadcast, a large number of viewers who were waiting to be fed quickly gathered.

However, the staff's respect for Xie Jinzhu is not entirely due to his recent popularity.

The popularity of "Black Dragon 2" brought Xie Jinzhu back into the public's field of vision, and his story was able to be retold.

In the past, Xie Jinzhu was always reported and described as a [familiar film and television supporting role], but this time it is different, he let everyone know him again as Bole.

Many people now know that Xie Jinzhu's most well-known handwriting in recent years is to discover Guan Chen and bring him into the film and television industry.But few outside the circle know that before Guan Chen, Xie Jinzhu had nine other juniors and juniors.

According to people's description, the talents of these juniors and juniors were not weaker than Guan Chen's, but each of them "died halfway", which made Xie Jinzhu deal with the aftermath and suffer a lot.A person, who has been betrayed nine times in a row, still chooses to believe in others on the tenth time. It can be said that he has a big heart, naivety, and a brain, or that his beliefs are relatively stable.

As soon as the report came out, people on the one hand marveled at the magic of [Xingjiaban], a geomantic treasure, and on the other hand, felt Xie Jinzhu's character and his difficulty.

People in the industry are also amazed that there is such a kind and righteous person like him in the circle of chasing fame and fortune.

Xie Jinzhu walked to the recording studio, the host and guests of "Life Alone" got up and greeted him.In the words and in the eyes, there is a little less professional sense of distance.

"Big brother!" Yao Zhiyu raised his hand to grab each one and greeted him, "The movie is super good, and the acting is amazing!"

Xie Jinzhu was so proud that his tail was going to go up to the sky.Accidentally asked: "Then, is it me who acted better, or Ah Chen?"

Yao Zhiyu said without hesitation, "That must be Brother Chen."

"..." Xie Jinzhu twitched the corner of his mouth, "...you passed the test."

"Brother, I did my homework according to what you taught me last time." Yao Zhiyu sat next to Xie Jinzhu, and seemed to have a lot of things to report, "I went back and thought about it for a long time before I realized that this is the way of character analysis. Well!"

Xie Jinzhu thought for a while before remembering that he told Yao Zhiyu last time how he knew someone.About family, about ideal, about self.While this is the method actors use to dissect a character, it's equally useful in reality.

"Just say it doesn't work." Xie Jinzhu asked.

"It works..." Yao Zhiyu lowered his voice, obviously knowing that he had indeed been moved by his fantasy before, but he couldn't find a way to do it.

"How do you understand?"

"I know a lot, a lot." Yao Zhiyu used three, a lot, "but..." She hesitated, and whispered, there are some things that she is not sure about. For example, she read the news about Guan Chen's high school home The tragedy happened, so I understand why Guan Chen left his hometown, and why he chose to act after graduation... "At that time, he was probably sick, but now he can't see it at all." Guan Chen's transformation, It made Yao Zhiyu feel that she was missing a key, and she couldn't find that key no matter what.

Xie Jinzhu sighed.Just as he was hesitating whether to speak, a host suddenly came to ask, "What are you talking about?"

Xie Jinzhu said: "I'm teaching her how to act."

Xie Jinzhu did not disclose Yao Zhiyu's thoughts to the public.

"Correct."

The host who asked smiled, and didn't really want to explore.She pointed to the director and reminded that the recording was "starting soon."

Xie Jinzhu nodded, and Yao Zhiyu also consciously arranged his clothes and hairstyle.

Following the choreographer's [Three, Two, One], the second recording of "Life Alone" began.

Before watching the feature film, it is usual to talk about the current situation of the host and guests.

Li Fugui from "Three Days Two Nights" took another commercial.

Yao Zhiyu of [Xingyun] danced out of circle in another show.

Cartoonists, as always, stay at home and draw.

A fashion designer goes to Fashion Week and collaborates with a certain supermodel.

As the special guest who has made the most moves recently, Xie Jinzhu was naturally asked the most.After a while, I asked him how Guan Chen trained everyone in the sideshow of "Black Flood Dragon 2", and after a while, I asked him how many people in the Xing family class were still stuck in the entertainment industry.

The funny female host asked: ""Black Flood Dragon 2" is a collaboration between your brothers and sisters, so "The Key of Destiny" is the first collaboration between the three of you, the Xing family's master and apprentice?"

"Yes." Xie Jinzhu nodded, a dream-realized smile unconsciously bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

"Looking forward to it! When will the new movie be released?" The funny girl asked knowingly.

And Xie Jinzhu also announced in cooperation that it will be released during the Spring Festival.

"What's the story about?"

Xie Jinzhu Balabala began to introduce.

This was agreed with Director Zhou in advance.Although "The Key to Destiny" didn't give money, "Living Alone" is Guan Chen's base camp, and it's due sense to play a few friendship advertisements on the show, which is a win-win situation.

The first trailer of "The Key to Destiny" came out in early December, and not much was revealed about the plot.Xie Jinzhu can only pick some things to promote.

"Yes, Ah Chen also participated in part of the martial arts design."

Xie Jinzhu said that there are actually many movies about killers, some are handsome, and some are very ruthless.But "Key of Destiny" is really a "killer".

The tip of the iceberg of the killer world depicted in "The Key to Destiny", every killer who appeared on the stage, the expression on the face was so calm that it was almost numb. They shot and swung their knives, just like ordinary people holding chopsticks and pouring wine, without any murderous intent. Not even the slightest bit of hostility.

In one scene, Ding Wu, the killer starring Guan Chen, fights an enemy who is also a killer in the corridor.The movements are concise and crisp, and the details are full of murderous intent. As always, it has Guan Chen's martial arts style.But the most refreshing thing is that after Guan Chen stabbed the knife into the enemy's heart, the enemy did not lose his temper, nor was he filled with resignation. The enemy took a look at the wound and knew that he would die, but said goodbye to Guan Chen calmly , [I'll take a step first], the tone was like a meeting of friends, after a drink and a chat, one of them said that he was going home first.And Guan Chen, like another friend who was left behind, nodded calmly, [hmm], put away the gun and knife, just like packing up wine glasses and dinner plates, and waited for the next meeting.

Xie Jinzhu said: "This is what Chen told the director. 'In the dark hour, there is no boundary between life and death', those killers have a different view of life and death, and they see death very lightly. They see it every day. Death, I struggle with death every day, I have no desires, and the meaning of living is only for the next death."

The main character is different.The protagonist Ding Wu jumped out of that dark world briefly.

"The protagonist gradually regained his heart and conscience."

However, if the killer regains his conscience, he will surely go to destruction.

So the cartoonist asked, "Did the main character die in the end?"

"This involves spoilers, I won't say it." Xie Jinzhu laughed.In fact, he didn't know what the ending was like.

In some endings, after Ding Wu killed the agent, he died, and his death carried a wish for redemption;
In some endings, after Ding Wu killed everything, he chose to live, forget the past and start over, or look directly at the past and pay back silently.

There were a lot of shots at the end, and Xie Jinzhu didn't know which one Director Tian would use in the end.

Xie Jinzhu personally prefers the ending where Ding Wu survives.Sometimes, living is indeed more tormented than dying, and living requires greater courage.
