Actors have no vacation

Chapter 4 Towards the Future
Open the first page of [The First Step to Becoming an Actor].

The first page says the time.

It was three years ago, 2229 years.

Turn to the second page, and the content begins to appear.

Director Zhou looked over curiously.

[The movie #"One-Armed Knight 2" is simply rubbish.The motives of the characters are unknown, the male protagonist switches back and forth between several expressions throughout the whole process; the female protagonist kisses like a pig's trotter, with a hideous face; the male supporting role is a head hunter, rather than a flower thief; the female supporting role...]

[Interview# After listening to XXX's interview, I feel like vomiting.The host asked him how he felt about his acting skills, and he was too embarrassed to say that he was expected to win the best actor.Didn't anyone slap him to wake him up?His proud performance is just a low-profile version of XX, which is convincing in the context of ancient costumes. In modern times, this performance method is still incapable of turning around and not thinking about progress...]

"Uh..." The unexpected content was like a fierce horse suddenly stepping into the lawn, and Director Zhou immediately covered the camera lens next to him, "Grass, don't shoot, don't shoot first."

If these things are released, even if the ratings of the show will increase, most of them will be scolded.Seasonal programs that eat traffic may be able to go this way.But their "Tonight" is meant to be a slow stream, which is really not suitable for doing so.

Guan Chen, who seems to have a wild style, did not expect to write something so sharp and tricky.Director Zhou looked at the book with lingering fears, and then looked at Guan Chen who was wrapping a screwdriver in a newspaper behind him.

"Don't shoot casually." Guan Chen put down the screwdriver wrapped in the newspaper.

"Don't worry, I can count." Director Zhou put the [Step [-]] notes, took out the [Step [-]], and asked the camera not to lift it up.

As a result, the intensity of the second notebook was also higher.

[Book# Can you publish a book at this level?If you want to make money, bring some works out.The experience inside is almost copied from Teacher Wang's description in "Poetic Body".The only thing worthy of praise is that a few short stories are well edited, enough to be published in the chicken soup section of "Confidant"...]

[Feelings# I didn't watch a movie or read a book today.Saw a few news yesterday and wanted to encourage them to cheer up.I hope they will make persistent efforts and join hands to destroy Huaxia Film and Television.When all the theaters are full of traffic like Wang Qingjun, let's just eat shit together...]

Go back a few pages to see the others.The content is similar, either criticizing a movie or mocking an actor.

Although every entry in the notes clearly pointed out the shortcomings of a certain movie or an actor, every sentence was targeted and attacked precisely to the point, but the arrogance in it could not be concealed. If it doesn't work, even if a reasonable thing is said by such a cynical attitude, it is plainly disgusting, and good words can turn bad words.

Director Zhou closed the [Second Step] notebook, and without having to read the other books, he could guess that it must be full of savagery and murderous aura, "If you only write something like this, no matter how many steps you take, you won't be the best actor. …”

"What are you talking about?" Guan Chen suddenly came over.

Director Zhou had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it in front of Guan Chen, so he could only pass the notebook in his hand and complain with his eyes.

Guan Chen took the note, flipped to a page at will, and immediately watched it with joy, and was amazed, "Hahaha, I am really interesting!" He was not worried at all that after the content of the note was released, it would be mentioned. Fans of the movie and the actors will tear him apart.

【It is interesting for you to say such words. 】

Director Zhou looked at Guan Chen in front of him and recalled the nearly half an hour they had spent together. Guan Chen's demeanor was generous, not pretentious, not squeamish. Not only did he not feel inferior because of the surrounding environment, but he had a big brother-like arrogance, and communicated very easily. He is happy, and at the same time takes into account the delicate, not too heartless; he has read so many books, but he is not in a hurry to show off his knowledge and express himself. If he does not ask, he is likely to be like an ordinary person. He would say that he graduated from a prestigious university; even though he was an unsuccessful actor, after hearing an interview from a TV station, he did not flatterly post it, hoping to get any chance of exposure, even if he was given a chance to promote himself, he would not.

If the notes were not found, I would not have known that he still had such a sharp and mean side.

Inside and outside the notes, the two images are too contradictory.Just like two people.

"It's like two people." Director Zhou sighed unabashedly.

For Director Zhou, it was just a sigh, but for Guan Chen, it was an antivirus reminder.

【There are loopholes! 】

Guan Chen put down his notebook and thought to himself, now is not the time to watch the selection of Tucao.

He behaves in a completely different style from his predecessor, and strangers will only have a little doubt, but those who are closely related to his predecessor will definitely feel unfamiliar.

Guan Chen didn't worry about being caught and sliced ​​after the incident was revealed.When relatives and friends feel strange, his big deal is to move to another city to live.But moving needs money, and he doesn't have it now.

So until he saves enough money to [leave old social relationships and embrace life in the new world], the loophole can't break out.There must be a reasonable explanation for his acting style that is different from his predecessor.

"That's it." Guan Chen interrupted Director Zhou's thoughts, and lowered his head and pulled out a plastic bag from the ground.

Director Zhou saw the white plastic bag with blue writing: The Tenth People's Hospital of the Magic Capital.

"Seven days ago, I encountered a fire and was discharged from the hospital yesterday. The doctor said that I was lucky, I almost became a vegetative state and couldn't wake up." Guan Chen's tone gradually slowed down: "When I was in a coma, I had a dream, a dream. I have seen many things and dreamed of many people. Among them are some people I hate and things that I have always hated."

Although it was a bit sudden, Guan Chen's sudden confession still surprised Director Zhou.Quickly greet the guy to set up the camera and start working again.

Guan Chen instinctively adjusted the angle of his sitting posture, so that the light would come down and his face could be more photogenic:
"My university is not an acting major. After graduation, I suddenly wanted to try acting and become an actor. I lived here for three years, and I usually rely on odd jobs to maintain it. The rest of the time is to buy books, read, write, and learn acting. It's very powerful, and I don't like seeing anything. So I have almost no friends now. Maybe no one will attend my funeral when I die.

When people are about to die, there is no flashback of the past.When I lay in bed thinking about what I have, I find that I have nothing but hate. "

Self-reflection isn't any kind of performance, it's the narrator poking his lungs and dissecting his heart like an onion.As Guan Chen spoke, he remembered his lonely death in his previous life.

When the boss happened, he was sent in to face the crime.The boss said that he must find a way to get him out.As a result, until he was executed, he could not wait for any words from the boss.In the few seconds waiting for the drug to take effect, and looking back at my life, I realized that I didn't get anything and left nothing.

Director Zhou and the cameraman listened quietly.

After Guan Chen was silent for a moment, the conversation suddenly changed, and his eyes were as bright as two newly sharpened knives:
"I'm lucky, I saved a terrible life. I woke up from a coma for three days without any sequelae. After I was discharged from the hospital, I thought about it, I want to do something different from before. For example, I want to make friends, make a lot of Friend. I want to get out of this little house and go somewhere else."

After listening to Guan Chen's remarks, Director Zhou and the cameraman could somewhat understand the reason for the huge change in Guan Chen before and after.

This is probably the catastrophe to survive, there must be future blessings.Director Zhou was happy for Guan Chen and felt that Guan Chen was in a good state of mind now.The cynical, gloomy and vicious Guan Chen in the past was not bad for him to stay in the past.

"Ah, wait, the fire seven days ago?" Zhou Dao suddenly thought of something and asked Guan Chen, "Where did you encounter the fire?"

Guan Chen thought for a while: "The doctor told me that it was [Anping Apartment]."

"Anping Apartment!" The director clapped his hands in excitement, he knew about the fire.

Seven days ago, I heard from a friend from the news department in Taili that there was a fire in the [Anping Apartment].It was just a young man who ran in and out before the fire truck arrived and saved a lot of people. Unfortunately, the enthusiastic young man should have lost his physical strength in the end. After the last time he rushed in, he didn't come out for a long, long time.When the firefighters rescued him later, the young man was already in a coma. It is said that he was in a very bad condition. He had inhaled a lot of poisonous gas. Even if he woke up, he might have become a vegetative state due to brain damage.

"Are you the one who saved a lot of people?" Director Zhou looked at Guan Chen in shock.

Guan Chen nodded: "Yes."

Director Zhou took a deep breath, knowing that tonight's trip was a big gain.

He excitedly asked Guan Chen a few questions, such as "Why did you rush into the fire to save people?", "How did you feel when you were surrounded by fire?"...

Guan Chen's answer was ordinary but great, "Actually, I don't remember what I thought at the time, it can be said to be the body's instinctive reaction.", "If I am in a mood, I will be very anxious at first, thinking how can I die here. Later, I found out that it really can't change the result of death, so I thought, it turns out that death is like this."

After listening to the fire accident, Zhou Dao recalled that Guan Chen had a strong contrast between the inside and outside of his notes, the messy environment and the neat bookcase, and some vague ideas formed in his mind.

The content of the previous episodes has always made people feel "almost".Now he kind of knew where that "one point" was.

In the past, he went to passers-by's homes to shoot materials, photographed furniture and decorations everywhere, and tried to use the furnishings of the house as the key to unlock the character code of the owner of the house.

Now Guan Chen has proved that, in turn, taking the interviewee as the theme, using the story of the person as the key to unlock the code of the house.

Before encountering something, your life may have been like this, but an unremarkable or unexpected thing happened suddenly, and your life has changed since then.The surrounding environment is the manifestation of the personality, not the cause of it.

Through this interview, Director Zhou felt that he had a different understanding of his work.

[I wanted to become an actor and experienced life but encountered setbacks and became an isolated A-Zhai. One day I became an unknown hero who saved several people from a fire. After experiencing life and death, I finally woke up. Get a wider life. 】

Director Zhou instantly titled the content shot today.It's almost a standard inspirational movie, with a high enough intention and enough ups and downs in the plot.

It's already two o'clock in the morning, but Director Zhou is not sleepy at all. He just wants to quickly cut out the material for tonight.In addition, the main creators will be called again to adjust the focus of shooting after the program is adjusted.

Director Zhou did not forget to buy books to support Guan Chen. After buying three books with 200 yuan, he bid farewell to Guan Chen contentedly with a full harvest.

……

Guan Chen flicked the money left by the director to buy books, but he was still not used to the appearance of banknotes.

With a sigh, Guan Chen carefully collected the money.Glancing at the messy house, I started to clean up.

Today's harvest is quite satisfactory. Three books have been sold, and Guan Chen feels that he is one step closer to his goal.

And also filled a loophole.

Guan Chen didn't know how his predecessor's interpersonal relationship was, and he didn't know if the other party would think he was different.

He didn't plan to live like the ghost of his predecessor in the future, so he used this interview to fix the saying that "after a fire, life is bearish from now on", it should be able to confuse the relatives and friends of the predecessor.

But it is not absolute.If his predecessor had trouble with interpersonal relationships and complicated family composition, he still had to move house or live in another city, once and for all.

So he needs money.It takes money to move, and even more money to live in a city.Without money, I can only sit back and wait, I can't do anything, and it's very difficult to even collect information about the world.

The predecessor did not buy a TV or a computer, and the mobile phone was lost at the scene of the fire, leaving Guan Chen a window to understand the world, only the books on the wall.If you can't read books, you can only exchange money to go to Internet cafes, watch animations, read comics, watch movies, and entertain.

Such a plan, saving money to buy a computer is the most cost-effective.

Alas, there are so many things to buy.

Guan Chen sighed with emotion, but in fact he was not very anxious.Being able to plan the [future] leisurely and leisurely is already a kind of happiness for him.

Putting Director Zhou's business card in the drawer, Guan Chen started to clean up the room.

The process of tidying up the room is also the process of Guan Chen getting to know some details about the predecessor.For example, you should know the places where your predecessor frequented from the invoice, and you should be careful when you pass those places in the future; remember the people who have appeared in the graduation photos, and avoid them when you see them; Who is a potential unexpected visitor, beware of…

After cleaning up, Guan Chen was sweating profusely and his arms were sore after a while.

This body is still too weak.Guan Chen made up his mind to exercise this body quickly, and complained, if it wasn't for the fact that this picture is a little more handsome and taller than his previous life, otherwise he would have cut the number and started again.

[Exercise and eat meat also cost money. 】 Guan Chen made a note in his mind that there was one more place where money was needed.

Guan Chen tidy up the house intermittently and intermittently, and then it was the porch's turn.

There are a lot of shoes in the entrance hall, and there are more letters scattered on the ground.Most of these letters were advertisements and leaflets, and Guan Chen stuffed them into the garbage bag.

Picking it up, Guan Chen seemed to have caught a glimpse of a different letter and picked it up.

This different letter was sent last week, and the recipient information outside was handwritten like a dog crawling.

Take it apart, take out a piece of paper, the content inside is printed:

【Dear Guan Chen
Your registration in "Xing Yan Performance Training Course" has been successful

Amount charged: 12600 Huaxia coins

The class starts at 11:12 p.m. on November 7, and the address is at No. XX, XX Road, XX District

waiting for your arrival]

Then came a thin invoice.

Guan Chen folded it back after reading it.

Wait, what is the amount charged on it?

Guan Chen suddenly opened the letter again, his eyes widened and he counted the numbers on it.

One hundred thousand... 12600 Huaxia coins?
He sells books to sell...

Only about 250 copies can save this money!

[It's too much of a loser, how many meals can this be exchanged for! 】 Guan Chen gritted his teeth and put down his fingers.

November 11 was exactly the day after the fire on the 12th.

In other words, the predecessor died before he had time to take this acting class.

Although a little sorry for the predecessor, Guan Chen felt that there was something to be pleased about in this matter - as long as there was no class, there was still hope of getting the money back.

Guan Chen took the letter and put it in the pocket of his sportswear solemnly.

Rather than wasting the 12600 Huaxia Coins in performance training classes, they should be used in more valuable places.

Guan Chen looked at the letter and invoice in his hand and swallowed.In a trance, I saw a lot of meat, milk, vegetables, and knives.
