Actors have no vacation

Chapter 216 Gifts

Chen's time in the capital was full of life.

The area of ​​the capital city is three times that of the capital city. Guan Chen ran around the city during the day, and he only knew a few places, far less than the tip of the iceberg.All you see is new people and new things.

The ancient charm of the capital is profound, and various museums and memorial halls are often seen. Even the century-old shops on the street have detailed records of their rise. During the time of walking, Guan Chen was influenced a lot.

For example, there is a "Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall" next to the Beijing Film Academy. This man was a scientist in the Yuan Dynasty and was good at astronomy and water conservancy.Guan Chen was impatient with history when he was in school, and felt dizzy and depressed when he read classical Chinese, but now he has been an actor for a year, and he has read history textbooks for elementary school students and Chinese textbooks for middle school students. Guess, after knocking down a memorial hall, Guan Chen felt that his cultural level had broken through from a high school to a college degree.

Originally, the servant next to him should belong to Xiaoxiong, but Xiaoxiong has to go to the hospital to accompany his sister, and has to supply blood to her sister for retransfusion, so it is not suitable for running outside.

Before hiring Xiao Xiong as a follower, Guan Chen did not expect that she would be like a political official in history. Once he made a slight move, he would immediately persuade him, often making Guan Chen at a loss. When the opponent breaks through, as long as he doesn't hurt others maliciously, he can be fouled tactically, but Xiao Xiong accused him of being too bully, "They are just elementary school students, you are about to knock them into the air!" Guan Chen retorted that this is reasonable Clash: "The competition field is the battlefield. If you don't try your best to compete, you will be sorry for yourself and others." Facing a group of crying children, Guan Chen said that he would beat them up if they were not quiet, and the little bear glared at Guan Chen angrily. , "No!" Guan Chen had no choice but to take out money to buy them off, Xiao Xiong hit Guan Chen twice, "No way!"In the end, the little bear hooked Guan Chen's neck, apologized obediently to the children and said sorry, gave them a bottle of milk each, and the children left after the rain.Little Bear said, "As long as you sincerely apologize, you can resolve the conflict." Guan Chen felt that his dirty thoughts were polluted by Little Bear's truth, kindness and beauty.

Later, Xiaoxiong went to the hospital to accompany his sister, leaving the position of attendant vacant.The third brother Liu Lihao happened to go to Beijing and wanted to compete for a post.

If Xiaoxiong is a critical minister, then Liu Lihao is a treacherous minister, and Xiaoxiong is completely two extremes.He never raised objections, proficiently used all kinds of life proverbs on the Internet, and agreed with all of Guan Chen's decisions.For example, when shooting the anti-marriage short film "Mango", Guan Chen felt that it was right for the two clients to break up, and Liu Lihao quickly agreed: "All relationships that make people feel uncomfortable are bad relationships, and they should be separated."

Guan Chen went on to say that after filming the film, the two clients may recall the throbbing at the time, and maybe the old relationship will rekindle.

Liu Lihao nodded: "At that time, there must be a reason for liking someone. Breaking up and getting back together again is tantamount to regaining what was lost. It will definitely make them cherish this relationship even more."

Guan Chen also said, but if the problem is not resolved, even if they get back together, they will break up because of the same thing next time.

Liu Lihao was deeply moved: "Therefore, as the old saying goes, a broken mirror is hard to round, and the crumpled paper can't be flattened no matter how much it is pressed after unfolding."

Guan Chen said, but it's not necessarily true, you may have to try it before you know.

Liu Lihao: "Yes, good things take time, and people also need to work together."

Let’s say he’s an answering guy, but he doesn’t like it, let’s say he has thoughts, and he said a lot but didn’t say anything.

In Liu Lihao's eyes, all Guan Chen's decisions are foresighted, and all his words are justified.Liu Lihao is obviously good at reading comprehension, and he can always flatter him with good reason.

At first, Guan Chen thought that Liu Lihao was trying his best to show his value and blend in, and his intention was to stay in the studio to find a job; after arriving in Beijing, Guan Chen gave Liu Lihao an order to shoot commercials, and Liu Lihao immediately complied.This was a request that was contrary to the studio, but Liu Lihao complied.Guan Chen immediately understood that the other party didn't want to stay in the studio, but wanted to stay by his side.Guan Chen doesn't like people of unknown origin approaching, and he intuitively feels that the other party has another purpose, so he guards against him and trusts his intuition.

In the end, Huo Li, who was incorporated as a "partner" by Guan Chen, worked as a part-time attendant and stayed by his side all the time. The two went out to play together, watch movies together, and eat and live together.

After seven or eight days like this, the eldest brother suddenly called and asked Guan Chen to return to the magic capital.

"I still have things to finish." Guan Chen was depressed.

He had originally arranged to meet some people he liked in the movie theater tomorrow, and planned to win over the new company.

Xie Jinzhu didn't care about this, he just reminded: "The nominations for the Golden Bull Awards will be announced tomorrow!"

The day to announce the nominations for the Golden Bull Awards is approaching. Xie Jinzhu has already booked a restaurant and is preparing to invite some people. He will turn on the TV at night and wait for the list to be announced while eating. The nominations will be announced on the spot and the celebration will be held on the spot.

Xie Jinzhu was afraid that Guan Chen would not come back, and said that this was the first milestone achievement of the studio, and all the employees would be there. When the studio first opened last year, it happened to be the evening when the Golden Bull was nominated. Retirement testimonials, thinking that there will be no fate with Jinniu again, I didn't expect that there will be a day of comeback, although he was not nominated by himself, but Guan Chen's nomination is the victory of the studio, and also Xie Jinzhu's victory.In short, in Xie Jinzhu's view, tomorrow night has a lot of meaning.

Having said such words, Guan Chen knew that it was impossible for him to refuse.

After all, for an occasion like the studio annual meeting, it is necessary to review the past and look forward to the future. Guan Chen, as the leader/next successor, cannot be absent, otherwise Qian Liangyi will take advantage of the chaos to buy people's hearts.

So Guan Chen agreed to go back, and he would go back as soon as possible.

In the middle of the night, Guan Chen started to pack his luggage, alarming Holly and his wife, making them think that Guan Chen had committed something and was about to run away overnight.

After finding out that Guan Chen was not running away, Holly heaved a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyes and said, "Oh yes, the list will be made tomorrow."

The Golden Bull Award is a big event in the film industry. It is the performance evaluation of outstanding filmmakers this year, and it is also the vane of the entire industry. Hawley has been paying attention.

"I was going to celebrate it for you tomorrow." Holly said with some regret.

"It's nothing to be sorry about." Guan Chen didn't take the award very seriously, and he didn't think it was a big deal from the beginning to the end.His entry into the industry is still too short and smooth, he has only known the world for a year, and he doesn't understand the gold content of being nominated for the Golden Bull Award;

"I've got all my cake orders," Hawley said.

"That's really a pity." After regretting, Guan Chen asked, "Why are you all so sure about the result? If I'm not nominated, you still have such a festive event. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?"

Hawley definitely won't.

Because the Golden Bull Award has no "judges", "evaluators", let alone "leaders", only voters.

The various associations in the Huaxia film and television industry add up to more than 1 members who have the right to vote for the Golden Bull Award.

During the nomination stage, only the best film can be voted by all members, and the rest of the individual awards are voted by professionals.For example, the best director nomination is voted by hundreds of fellow directors from the Directors Association, and the best photography is voted by hundreds of photographers from the Photography Association.The performance award is also voted by those actors who have experience and works.

It is different from the concept of elite selection in European film festivals, and also different from the leaders of American film festivals who rely on relationships to divide pork; the Chinese film awards pay attention to popular expectations and reflect mainstream public opinion.

Being nominated means that the ability has been widely recognized in the industry.

"How many people are there in the actors' association?" Guan Chen asked.

"There are more than 2 in all cities and provinces across the country, but only those in the 'Huaxia Actors Association' have the right to vote, about one or two thousand."

"These 2000 people may not have seen my movie, right?" Guan Chen was surprised. "Police Story" was released before the deadline for the awards declaration. The disadvantage is huge.

Being an actor is a very busy job, and Guan Chen doesn't think that each of those people has time to watch a new movie, and it's a commercial one at the same time.

"Word of mouth and blockbusters are enough to attract those people to watch. And you still have Zhang Jingsheng." Hawley is an American, and he is very clear about this kind of canvassing operation. "Zhang Jingsheng used to be the vice president of the Huaxia Actors Association. The president has a wide network of contacts and a great reputation, and if he can canvass for you and engage in public relations, that disadvantage will disappear."

Guan Chen also vaguely remembered that the film crew of "Police Story" originally had no plan to compete for the Golden Bull Award—otherwise it would not have been released so late—but Guan Chen's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. One of the films was temporarily decided to report Guan Chen.

Zhang Jingsheng used to be the vice president of the Huaxia Actors Association. He has a good grasp of the trend of the industry and has a wide network of contacts. Guan Chen's award public relations plan is basically handled by him.Zhang Jingsheng not only gave the review version of the disc, but also held a special screening, called people together to watch the movie, and even claimed that Guan Chen was his successor when he appeared in the interview.

Hawley said to Guan Chen: "I've already seen it. Apart from you, there are no other particularly strong newcomers this year. There is a small-budget independent film in which an amateur actor actually performed well, but he is relatively unpopular. It will be released in a theater, and it will be released soon, and the public relations fee should not be much, so your nomination is inevitable, and winning is also a high probability event, so you can prepare your acceptance speech in advance."

"Award acceptance speech..." Guan Chen didn't care about nominations, but he couldn't help caring about those who had truly helped him.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there were too many people to thank this year.

He would like to thank Xiaoxiong for keeping him on the stage of the acting class, thank his predecessor for giving him such a body suitable for performing, and also thank old man Xing for his teaching, senior brother for leading the way, Zhang Jingsheng for supporting...everyone He wants to thank everyone who helped him get to where he is today.It is these people, and the experience with them, that shaped him little by little.

Guan Chen likes himself now, and also likes those lovely people.

But how to write such a thank you?

I have never thanked anyone in my previous life, and after receiving favors from others, I just keep them in my heart, repay them in cash, or do something for the other party, and I will settle the matter afterwards.

I still remember it in my heart, and I used to replace it with actions.But if he wanted to write it down, he had to say it with great fanfare. He was really unfamiliar and didn't know how to do it.
