Actors have no vacation

Chapter 234 The Inner Ghost
On the day of the company's annual meeting, Guan Chen successively won a series of heavyweight awards such as the annual [Best Employee Award], [Favorite Learning Award], and [Most Improved Award] of Xie Jinzhu Studio. This should have been his happiest year day.

However, on such a perfect day, if he hadn't been vigilant, the elder brother would have almost spent the New Year in prison.

Guan Chen felt that although staying in prison for a while might improve the senior brother's acting skills, and he would have more texture in playing villains in the future, but in this way, he would have to endure a long time of driving alone, eating alone, and eating alone. It's time for people to face Qian Liangyi's ugly face.

Guan Chen was very upset and couldn't let the ghost go.

How to find out the inner ghost, Guan Chen can't be said to be absolutely professional, but it can also be said to be semi-professional.

The underworld deals with insiders, unlike the police who have to have evidence before they can do it.They neither respect the privacy of citizens nor emphasize human rights. As long as there is even the slightest suspicion of "something is wrong", someone is destined to be unlucky.

Even if it is later discovered that someone has been wronged, guilt and apology do not exist.In their view, the other party has experienced such a crisis of trust. Even if there is no betrayal now, there will be in the future, so they can't stay.

There are not enough people, just find another one.Before the millennium, people's hearts were fluctuating, and people who were willing to take risks for money were everywhere.

Guan Chen's boss has a long-term view, and believes that the domestic underworld has no future if they do not rely on power. Their future is legalization, and the future of associations is commercialization.Therefore, corporate culture must be established, rewards and punishments must be clearly defined, and rules and regulations must be formulated. You cannot cut off the other party's arms and legs or sink to the bottom of the river just because you suspect that the other party is an insider. Otherwise, people in the company will panic and scare away talents.

Guan Chen had no choice but to get out of his comfort zone, practice laws and regulations, and innovate in the police's evidence collection procedures, including but not limited to tracking, monitoring, and wiretapping suspects, analyzing the other party's life patterns, and recording where the other party met, who he said, and what he said , investigate whether the other party’s recent consumption behavior has changed, pick up every bag of garbage thrown by the other party and rummage through it, and come to collect evidence when the other party is out... Guan Chen can play a game that lasts for several months very patiently, and finally Let the suspect die clearly.

Apart from being a police officer, Guan Chen is also learning endlessly, striving for excellence, and keeping up with intelligence agencies.

When dealing with agents "suspected to be rebellious", intelligence agencies have a series of testing methods.One of them is to recall the target agent first, then kidnap him on the way, and send someone to pretend to be an enemy force to instigate rebellion against the agent. , everything is as real as possible.When the agent passed the test, did not waver in the middle, and showed no flaws in his performance, the department would temporarily put down his suspicions about the agent.

Guan Chen learned very well. He locked up the suspect and tortured him. After a while, the other party poured out feces and urine, secretly mixed with blood, and spit it out all at once.If it is milder, lock people in a soundproof dark room with no light, or deprive them of sleep for several nights, but this is a delicate job, and you have to master it to a certain degree, otherwise when you have a mental breakdown, you will either be unable to respond or If you ask him if he has been to the moon, he dares to nod.

If it was Guan Chen in his previous life, he would wear a mask on the night of the annual meeting, and then went to visit the staff from house to house in the middle of the night.

But in this life, it is not suitable to do this anymore.

Although the employees in the studio can’t even run the 13-meter sprint in [-] seconds, and the [Fire Escape] training is barely noticeable, but after getting along for a long time, Guan Chen feels that they are like his own children. They would surround him happily, look at him with earnest expressions, and were extremely obedient. They would do whatever Guan Chen asked them to do, and they were very well-trained.Guan Chen felt a little emotional, this may be the feeling of being a parent, even if his own child has various deficiencies, it is very difficult to be ruthless if he wants to hurt him - except for Qian Liangyi.

More importantly, with the [Good Person Certificate], he finally had a second life. Guan Chen didn't want the hands used to hold and write in his predecessor to be stained with blood again.

Since I have become an actor in this life, I should use the actor's method to find out the inner ghost.

……

"The person with the most spy votes is Xie Jinzhu!

The reasons given by everyone are--

[Ms. Xie loses every round of the game, it's a bit too obvious, kekeke]

[As Teacher Guan and Teacher Yao said, 'While looking at others, if you don't concentrate on doing things, you must have ghosts in your heart. 'Teacher Xie has a lot of ghosts in his heart]

[Behavior seems suspicious]

[…]”

The host took the cards one by one and read what everyone had written on the voting cards in Korean and Chinese respectively.

The artists who wrote these cards include Han Gaoguo and Huaxia.Although they speak different languages ​​at this moment, their suspicion of Xie Jinzhu made them cross borders and languages, connecting their hearts together.

Xie Jinzhu, who was forced to stand on the "judgment table" in the middle of the stage, looked incomprehensible, using sign language and body to explain desperately that he was not a spy.

"So, is Xie Jinzhu a real spy? The real spy announced below is—"

The host paused for a few seconds, then slammed his hand at someone present: "Guan Chen!!"

In the sound of "Oh Mo Oh Mo" from foreign artists, Guan Chen skillfully hugged everyone and thanked everyone for their face. No one present doubted him.

"Wow, you are indeed the most amazing newcomer actor in the film industry last year. No one even found out that you are a 'spy'. The mission was successful, how does it feel now?" the host asked him in proficient Chinese with an accent.

what does it feel like...

Guan Chen feels very depressed now.

He is currently recording a variety show called "Spy" in Han Gaoguo.More than a dozen entertainers were divided into two teams to play team games.There is a spy in the audience. The task of the spy is to make his team fail in the game, and the task of the others is to find the spy.

A rare trip abroad should have been exciting, but Guan Chen couldn't.

There are two serious announcement periods before the movie is released.One is warm-up, which starts about two months before the release date, and the other is the core announcement period, which starts one month before the release date.

The "Key to Destiny" movie will be released on the first day of the first month of the Spring Festival. As the main creative staff, Guan Chen will start running around with the crew to promote it before New Year's Day. Because Director Tian's films are very popular in the world, so Guan Chen this time You have to go abroad for publicity.

Nearby are the cherry blossom country, the white bear country, the Siam country, and the Han Gao country on the Asian side.There are several European countries far away.

Participating in the promotional activities of the movie has already signed a contract with the actor before the film was launched. It can be said that the appearance fee of the promotional activity has been included in the actor's remuneration.Since there is no appearance fee to earn, actors like to participate in face-to-face meetings and press conferences, and rarely take the initiative to solicit work.For one or two popular variety shows that can't be avoided, just rely on the status of [actor] to paddle in the water and complete the task.

Guan Chen's attitude towards participating in these variety shows is very positive.Seeing street signs and store names in Chinese in foreign countries made Guan Chen feel very novel, and he wished to stay for a while.Moreover, in order to match the theme of the movie, most of these variety shows have designed special characters such as "killer" and "undercover" to make the show more interesting and storytelling.

Guan Chen was away from home, planning to go back to the studio to catch the ghost after finishing his busy work.Recording variety shows is regarded by him as a kind of warm-up.

What made Guan Chen speechless was that along the way, he was the [killer], he was the undercover agent, he was the werewolf, and he was the spy.

Guan Chen couldn't understand, he was obviously a partner of justice, but as long as he was a character who secretly caused sabotage, the program crew would assign him.

The reasons for the program groups vary, some of them think Guan Chen is smart, and it is reassuring to give such an important role to Guan Chen;
Some are looking forward to Guan Chen's reappearance of his heroic appearance as the big devil in "The Chaser", lurking to the end, a sudden reversal, and then single-handedly fighting everyone else, the audience loves to watch;
In addition, because the trailer of "Extreme Man - Wanted 2" has been released, Director Jin praised Guan Chen in an interview.So these foreign variety show directors, as if chasing stars, also hope that Guan Chen can make a difference in their shows.

In the end, Guan Chen became the inner ghost.

"Every time you are a spy, everyone always says it's me, it's so unfair!" Xie Jinzhu couldn't understand why he looked like a spy. Is it because he is ugly and Guan Chen is good-looking? ?

"I don't want to do this either." Guan Chen sincerely begged, "I hope to record another show next time, and don't assign me a spy status. I'm tired."

The host laughed and said that being a spy is really tiring.

"Is there any difference between being a spy and being a killer?" The host is dedicated, and will turn the topic to the movie if he is not careful.

This is the second thing Guan Chen feels bad about these days. Among all the actors, he was assigned the role of spokesperson, and he was asked the most questions. Reporters and hosts also like to throw questions to him.Guan Chen felt a little wronged.He just has a diploma from a famous university, but everyone thinks he is a smart person; he just carries a book with him at all times and reads it when he has time, and everyone thinks he is an intellectual .

Many questions Guan Chen didn't know what he was talking about.Guan Chen had done his homework, so he was not afraid of being asked questions about the role.

"Whether it's a spy or a killer, concealment is the most important thing." Guan Chen said that there are differences between these two types of work, but there are also similarities.

The first lesson for a killer is to hide his killing intent.Killing intent doesn't only appear when one makes a move to kill someone, guarding against other people's ultimate moves also reveals killing intent.Because, preparedness means that you are ready for counter-killing.What is expected in the heart will be reflected in the body and eyes-muscles tense, blood speeds up, and vision is focused.It's all human instinct.And these subtle changes will startle the keen people.

A must for fighting instincts, killers and spies.

"Although the killer I played in the movie is very strong, he actually has a lot of flaws," Guan Chen said.

In "The Key to Destiny", the killer Ding Wu massacres a gang den at the beginning. It seems very powerful, but in fact it is very powerful, almost like superpowers-but this is not the style of a killer.

Guan Chen expressed his doubts to the director.He felt that director Tian didn't understand killers, but director Tian said he didn't understand movies.

The storyline comes from duplicity. "The Key to Destiny" is about misplacement.

Dislocation of fate, dislocation of environment.

The god of killing fell into the mortal world, and the mortals broke into the underworld by mistake.

A person as powerful as a god suddenly blanked out his heart and re-experienced the growth of life with the mentality of a child.

Director Tian said that although his films are action movies, the core point of view is not only the presentation of violence and coolness, but also the "god" in the process of getting along with people, the arc of human nature is wiped out. The original "seeing myself" has become "seeing others" and "seeing all beings".After surviving the catastrophe, Ding Wu truly became a top killer, and his most perfect moment was the moment when he fought for his own destiny.

After Guan Chen roughly finished his understanding of the characters, he turned to the camera and called on everyone to watch the movie after it was released.

"It's a very interesting movie. There are very interesting characters in it." Guan Chen said.

Since being awakened by Pan Xu last time, Guan Chen has understood that there is no single sentence in this world that can enlighten people, and there is also no movie that can make people awaken themselves after watching it.It can only be an experience that can really change a person.

But human character is made up of the past, and the past is made up of memories.A good movie can remain in a person's life for as long as a memory.This memory may suddenly appear at some point in the future and affect the experience; or it may not.

Such a small possibility is enough for Guan Chen.

"Just like in reality, the killer played by Chen was under my influence, and learned to act and became a more powerful killer." Xie Jinzhu promoted his role at every turn.

Guan Chen thought it was true.Acting changed him a lot.

Guan Chen really wants to suggest to his fans to learn some acting, even if they can't become actors in the end, it will be very useful to deal with the police's interrogation, to flatter the leader, and to maintain family harmony—it's a pity that Xing Yan He is an old man with conservative thinking, so he politely declined his slogan.

After the recording of the show, the staff trotted up and handed Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu mineral water.

After Guan Chen thanked him, he took it in his hand and didn't drink.

Xie Jinzhu also became vigilant under Guan Chen's training and did not drink.

Since the attempted drunk driving that night, Xie Jinzhu moved in to eat and live with Guan Chen.Under the influence of Guan Chen, Xie Jinzhu also learned the most basic precautions.

For example, never sleep in the same place for two nights; travel only by public transportation; do not take boxes and bags, so as not to be secretly put in suspicious items; be careful when approaching anyone within a meter range; drink water only bring your own When having a dinner party, they also used the excuse of "can't finish eating" to pick up a large pile of rice for Qian Liangyi, wait for a while, and only move the chopsticks after observing that Qian Liangyi is intact.

For Guan Chen, these are habits that have been ingrained in his bones.For Xie Jinzhu, it was a kind of torture.

Qian Liangyi was also tortured by Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu's side.

In the studio before, in order to lure out the inner ghost and the people behind it, Guan Chen and Qian Liangyi cast bait and performed a play, making people mistakenly think that they had a conflict.Qian Liangyi took this opportunity to scold Guan Chen severely, and Guan Chen also took this opportunity to beat Qian Liangyi up.

Xie Jinzhu walked into the dressing room, just as Qian Liangyi was about to follow.Guan Chen blocked his hand and warned, "You haven't cleared your suspicions yet, be conscious."

Qian Liangyi rolled his eyes wearily, he had no interest in fighting at all, and of course he most likely knew that fighting was useless.He just skillfully opened his arms and asked Guan Chen to search him without moving.He knew that Guan Chen just wanted to tease him and take revenge on him.It's absurd that he is an imposing manager, being manipulated at will by a rookie artist whose administrative level is only an assistant.He just wanted to see Xie Jinzhu's face, so he didn't care about Guan Chen, otherwise he would be crushed with scissors...

"Go in." Guan Chen shook his head.

"Hmph." Qian Liangyi snorted coldly, not to be outdone, then put on his shoes obediently, and buckled his belt back to his waistband.

Go into the dressing room and close the door.

Guan Chen checked the room carefully again.

After seeing Guan Chen nodding his head, Qian Liangyi said, "We have already said hello. One boss is my friend's younger brother. The brokerage company has lost money for three years, and if it loses again, it will close down. The other boss is my former boss. The boss of the company, came out and worked on his own, and it was just established two months ago. After you return to China, you can go directly to contact there.”

There are two companies, one is about to go bankrupt and the other is just established.

"Okay." Guan Chen nodded.

Xie Jinzhu took a sip of the mineral water he bought at the vending machine on the road, and said: "Chen has already divided the employees in two places, and then we will talk to them one by one according to the plan, and then 'accidentally' let them They knew that Chen was looking for a new job. The new company rumored that he was going to [go bankrupt], ​​and the studio rumored that he was going to [just established]. At that time, it would depend on which company, and be contacted first! There is also a high probability that there is a problem with the contact."

If the plan goes well, you can know who the well-informed behind-the-scenes manipulator is, and by the way, you can also know whether the inner ghost is in the new company or in the studio.

This is what Xie Jinzhu learned from gangster movies.The set is the school.

Guan Chen actually has a better way, such as implanting a Trojan horse into each employee's mobile phone, or hardware monitoring.The difficulty of developing these things is not high, the difficulty is how to install them.To Guan Chen, these are of course trivial matters.But it was rare for the elder brother to mobilize his intelligence to think of a way to try, and Guan Chen was willing to cooperate.

Xie Jinzhu sighed lightly. Before the inner ghost was caught, each of his subordinates had certain suspicions, which was obviously uncomfortable.He said: "Star Studio only relies on internal referrals to recruit people, which makes sense. In the future, when recruiting people, we still have to find people from within the circle."

Celebrity Studio's recruitment is actually not very social-oriented, and it doesn't accept fresh graduates very much. Even if it does, it will replace the consumables immediately after the three-month probationary period.

More than professional ability, the most important thing to work in this industry is the artist's trust.Therefore, the studio generally recruits people through internal referrals and introductions from acquaintances. One is to ensure that new employees understand the rules, and their character is endorsed by the reputation of people in the circle. If something goes wrong, the recommended person will be implicated. I am extremely cautious when making recommendations; the second is to join the job with a network of contacts. This network is a line of the relationship network. In the future, it will be convenient for each other and let the posts and news flow.

"It doesn't matter to me, as long as those inside and outside the circle can help me make movies." Guan Chen said.

"In case no one jumps out in the end, you sit on the fence and wait for the rabbit. It would be better to jump to those two companies if you wait on the fence. It would be a good ending." Qian Liangyi seemed to be eager for Guan Chen's fake show to be real, so don't come back up.

Before Guan Chen could speak, Xie Jinzhu first denied Qian Liangyi's curse.

"The group of people who are used to playing tricks can't bear to focus on things that are cheap for others. They drive away the owner of the orchard, wait for the ripe fruit, and finally run into the bowl of passers-by. This can drive them to death."

Qian Liangyi suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What if the ghost is not in the new company or the studio. What if the ghost is Liu Lihao?"

Qian Liangyi asked if it was necessary to send someone to inform the rumors so that the other party could tip off the news.

Guan Chen shook his head, because Liu Lihao's cell phone had already been put into something and monitored by him.

How early?
Probably when we first met.
