Actors have no vacation

Chapter 22 An Actor's Day

At ten o'clock, employees arrived at the studio one after another.

Guan Chen didn't know what these people were doing, but he knew that these people must be his subordinates.

As for the one with glasses, Guan Chen estimated that he was a general manager or something. He should also be a cadre, but his level should be lower than his own.Otherwise, the other party would not be so angry when he heard about his position as an airborne assistant.

The man in glasses who was suspected to be the general manager crushed the disposable cup and looked at him with undisguised anger. Guan Chen felt peaceful in his heart. He had expected this.

An airborne soldier suddenly appeared and robbed his position. As a veteran employee, it was normal for the man with glasses to be angry.

[According to the development of TV, there should be some factional struggle. 】 Guan Chen expected.

In the last life, the big boss also arranged for airborne troops, and wanted to divide the power of the boss.But in the end, it was done by the boss openly and secretly.

Guan Chen was a little eager to try, wondering what the factional struggle in serious work was like.

It's a pity that he doesn't seem to have a chance against the general manager today.

After Xie Jinzhu greeted the staff, he asked Shang Guan Chen to go out with him.

"Where?" Guan Chen asked him.

"Today I will show you how actors spend their day when they are not working." Xie Jinzhu replied.

1 minute on stage, ten years off stage.An actor's work focuses on normal times.

If you want to be a good actor, you must develop some good habits.

In the profession of an artist, you can walk the road that most people can't finish in a lifetime, but the speed is fast, it is inevitable to float up, and it is easy to deviate from the track when an external force touches it.

Those brothers and sisters regretted running the wrong way, or overturned the car, or stopped, Xie Jinzhu didn't want Guan Chen to follow the old road of these brothers.

Xie Jinzhu had high expectations for Guan Chen and hoped that Guan Chen would not waste his talents.So on the first day with Guan Chen today, he wanted Guan Chen to see what an actor should be like when he is not working before he enters the industry.

Out of the street, in front of a car.

"Do you have a driver's license?" Xie Jinzhu handed the car keys to Guan Chen, asking him to drive.

"It seems to have."

"Wait, what does it seem like?" Xie Jinzhu quickly stopped Guan Chen.

"Yes." Guan Chen nodded.

Xie Jinzhu had doubts in his heart, and turned back three steps to get into the co-pilot.

Guan Chen got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and started the car eagerly, wanting to see how a domestic car in this world would feel.

Within a few seconds of getting started, the speed of the car became faster and faster.

"Wait, wait, slow down!" Xie Jinzhu hurriedly put his hands on his chest, doing a cushioning action that is better than nothing for passengers when the plane crashed.

"I'm slow enough." Guan Chen glanced at the dashboard and continued to accelerate.

"Overspeeding - going to overspeed!!"

"It's alright, I'm watching, I'll slow down when I get to the monitoring range." Guan Chen has good eyesight, and finding the monitor is as easy as going home and looking for water to drink.

When there was no speed monitoring in the distance, he slammed on the accelerator and passed a car. When he was approaching the speed limit, he slowed down slightly and drove past the speed limit line.

Xie Jinzhu kept changing his sitting position in horror. He didn't expect Guan Chen to seem to be driving so hard. As an old man, he couldn't bear it.

"Stop parking..."

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu got out of the car and changed positions.

Xie Jinzhu held the steering wheel and felt safe as never before. He took the opportunity of imparting experience to advise Guan Chen:
"If the car collides, it is not as simple as losing money. No matter how small the scratch is, it is a scandal for our artists, it will affect the image, and if it is serious, you will lose your job. Therefore, celebrities generally do not drive easily, so that Others will drive. Even if you want to drive yourself, you must be very careful."

Guan Chen's eyes lit up: "So, if you accidentally bump into a car with a celebrity, can you take the opportunity to extort a lot of money?"

"What are you thinking?" Xie Jinzhu was taken aback.

"I'm just talking." Guan Chen waved his hand, looked at the slow scenery outside the window, and yawned.

Seemingly frightened by Guan Chen's words, Xie Jinzhu kept the speed of the car at [-] yards and clenched the steering wheel with both hands, for fear that the car in front would suddenly stop and someone would jump out and corrupt him.

The car behind was beeping frantically, Xie Jinzhu was unmoved and resolutely moved forward at his own pace.

Some drivers couldn't stand the speed of the tortoise and wanted to scold Xie Jinzhu for overtaking to a parallel position, but when they saw Xie Jinzhu's flat-headed and fierce look, he immediately calmed down and drove away obediently.

After 10 minutes, the car arrived at the destination.

It's a fitness center.

Guan Chen got excited when he saw the signboard. Before the car could find a seat, he opened the door and went out: "I'll get off the car first. You can find a place to park."

"Ah, oh." Xie Jinzhu nodded blankly.

Xie Jinzhu found a parking space in the parking lot, reviewed the side parking, and parked the car with difficulty.When I lock the door, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't remember it.

The fitness center is huge, with different functions and areas on each floor.

Xie Jinzhu took Guan Chen to the floor where the anaerobic training was performed, and locked the things in the locker.

"Although acting is mentally exhausting, physical strength is also very important. Sometimes when I meet a strict director, I often have to repeat an action or expression several times or ten times. If there is no physical strength, the accuracy of the expression will not be guaranteed. "

Xie Jinzhu emphasized the importance of physical strength for performance, and took off his jacket to show a strong body. He said, "And having a good body can avoid getting sick in a high-pressure environment and not delay the shooting progress."

"Wow." Guan Chen exclaimed.

Xie Jinzhu was secretly proud, and quietly tightened his muscles, picked up the dumbbells, and slammed. "How's it going? I was selected for an action movie because of my body shape. Sometimes I'm under a lot of pressure, and exercising hard can effectively relieve the pressure..."

As he spoke, there was still no sound behind him.Xie Jinzhu turned his head and saw that Guan Chen ran to the boxing area at some point, and was amazed while touching the sandbag.

Xie Jinzhu hurriedly put down the dumbbells, walked over, "Drink!", "Drink!" ostentatiously punched a set of punches at the sandbag, and said, "I used to practice specifically for action movies. How? I can teach you if you learn."

Guan Chen pouted, and the disgust was particularly obvious.Xie Jinzhu wanted to teach him boxing, just as impractical as someone wanted to make braised pork with Peppa Pig.

He could see that Xie Jinzhu's steps were vain and arrogant.I don't know where this guy has the courage to teach others.

"I'll make a card for you and practice with me later!" Xie Jinzhu patted Guan Chen's shoulder, thinking he was too thin.

Guan Chen felt that although the senior brother liked to brag, he still had a good heart.If Xie Jinzhu wants to practice against him in the future, he may decide whether to show mercy or not.

"Start practicing today?" Guan Chen asked.

"We don't have a change of clothes, we have to go somewhere else in the afternoon." Xie Jinzhu shook his head, and only brought him to find a way today. "Come to practice tomorrow."

Guan Chen nodded.

The fitness center is huge.Xie Jinzhu took Guan Chen to visit from top to bottom, there are swimming pools, yoga rooms, several dance classrooms, spinning rooms, octagonal cages, rock climbing walls, archery fields, indoor basketball courts, and football fields... …

"Why is there no ping-pong table, no billiards hall?" Guan Chen couldn't help but ask.

"It's too small, there are not many people playing, so there should be no more." Xie Jinzhu replied.

Guan Chen was very sad.These two sports, which he had worked on after skipping classes in his childhood, had no room to play in this world.

After leaving the fitness center, they had a meal, and then Xie Jinzhu drove Guan Chen to the next destination.

It is a large bookstore.

Guan Chen walked in and saw so many books, as if he was attacked by his spiritual skills, and felt tired immediately.

"For actors to settle themselves, reading is the best way." Xie Jinzhu said, "As actors, we can observe people, but for other people's lives, what we can get is very limited. Therefore, reading is very important, especially novels. Reading novels is equivalent to gaining other people's life experience."

Guan Chen feels that this is the same as what was said in Yang Dechang's film in the previous life [After the invention of movies, human life has been extended by at least three times. 】Similarly, ask: "If you want to gain life experience, can't comics work? Can't movies?"

"Yes, yes, but the text is different." Xie Jinzhu stroked the spine of the book and said, "I didn't like to read before, and Teacher Xing told me that if you want to be a good actor, you must develop the habit of reading, especially Novels should be read more. Because words and language are not intuitive, every reader can only enjoy the world of novels by imagining them. Reading novels can cultivate their own imagination.”

"So actors should read more novels?" Guan Chen thought deeply.

Xie Jinzhu suddenly waved his hand: "I almost forgot that you graduated from Yun Man, these words are too childish for you."

"Where, it's not pediatrics at all, I'm very interested." Guan Chen continued the topic: "Then what? You don't like reading, how did you read it later?"

Guan Chen's voice was a little urgent.

"According to Mr. Xing's suggestion, he asked me to choose stories with stories to read first, and then I read more, cultivated my own aesthetic and taste, and then I knew how to find books to read. Of course, this suggestion is suitable for a novice like me. , not for you."

It just fits so well!Guan Chen shouted in his heart.

Although he was following the path of his predecessor, but after a week or so, he already felt the difficulty.He read the book according to the [Become an Actor] series of notebooks, let alone taking the first step, he didn't even put on his shoes.

I decided to read a book, but after a week, I haven't read a single one.

Now, after listening to Xie Jinzhu's words of the same [don't like to read], Guan Chen felt that the books on the bookcase might be too difficult for him.He should also try new methods, starting with novels.

"But through my unremitting efforts, I can now read some esoteric books, such as this one," Xie Jinzhu picked up a girdle and wrote "Moving [-] million people around the world!" ] The best-selling book with the slogan, just pick it up, tears are already flowing faintly, recalling how moved I was when I read this book, "I was very moved when I was reading this book, I couldn't sleep all night, thinking in my heart, just Like if I could act..."

While talking, I found that no one responded.

As soon as he turned his head, Guan Chen was no longer there.

In the end, Xie Jinzhu found Guan Chen in the novel area, and sneakily seemed to want to buy something.

"I bought a few books for my little brother as gifts." Guan Chen explained.In his hand, he held several books in the series of "Must Read Novels for Primary School Students".

After leaving the bookstore, they later went to galleries and art exhibitions. According to Xie Jinzhu, watching these can improve the aesthetics.

Guan Chen couldn't understand this, so he just wandered around and listened to Xie Jinzhu talking nonsense next to him, and then he just nodded.

As the evening approached, Xie Jinzhu said that he was almost here today, but this was only part of his usual daily life.

Although Guan Chen didn't know whether it was true or not, he could feel that the big brother was bluffing and pretending again.Because he could feel that Xie Jinzhu was covered with 【Praise me! ! ! ]'s arrogance.

But after a day of shopping, he had a pretty good impression of Xie Jinzhu.

Also a good guy.

A lot of experience talk is really said to the younger brother in the identity of the big brother.Guan Chen can feel the sincerity and righteousness in it.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, it's time to get off work. [The first day of work] seems to be coming to an end.

Guan Chen sat in the car driven by Xie Jinzhu, looking at the afterglow hidden in the clouds in the distance, looking forward to tomorrow.

However, the unexpected arrival of a phone call delayed Guan Chen's get off work time.

"[What exactly is love, I don't understand every time I ask you...]" Xie Jinzhu's cell phone rang.

He looked at the caller and chose to answer the call.

As soon as it was connected, a hurried shout came from the opposite side: "Jinzhu, I'm wanted, help me!"

Guan Chen glanced at the phone screen, it was an unfamiliar number.But Xie Jinzhu recognized the other person by the voice of the person who came.

Xie Jinzhu was taken aback, he quickly pulled over to the car, and asked, "Shen He? What's the matter? Why are you suddenly wanted?"

"I was recording "Extreme Man", and the program team said that I committed [the crime of threatening guests], and then they asked the police to arrest me. I am now separated from everyone, and I am running away alone..." The person named Shen He Xu Xu Talked out the situation.

Xie Jinzhu breathed a sigh of relief.It turned out that he was not really wanted, but was recording a show.

"Okay, I'll go there now and see you later." After Xie Jinzhu asked about the other party's location, he planned to rush over.

After hanging up, Guan Chen knew that he couldn't get off work now.

Xie Jinzhu turned the car around and taught Guan Chen his experience: "In addition to enriching himself, an actor's daily life also includes socializing and maintaining interpersonal relationships."
