Actors have no vacation

Chapter 44 Coach
On the outskirts of the magic capital, Caijiaban Action Stunt Training Center.

The iron gate of the entrance has been closed.

Once the training starts, the entire training center will enter a semi-closed state, except for the media or people inside the crew who have an appointment, other people generally cannot come in.If you want to train harder, there is no problem with eating and living in it.

The crew of "Black Dragon 2" will use this place for 20 days from mid-December to early January.

According to the plan of the training table, the first day is used for everyone to get acquainted with each other, and the training is officially started on the second day.

Actors in training, all with a change of clothes and ready to sweat, arrived earlier.

At nine o'clock in the morning, it was the warm-up time before the first class.

The training ground is bustling.

"Have you heard? Teacher Xie's junior and junior brothers are all amazing...", "I only heard about the last three, I'll change it with you." gossip.

"Can we train today?" "According to the contract, we only train for 20 days. After 20 days, we have other arrangements." The manager pestered the crew, asking whether the training should be modified.

"We don't know about this..." Facing the entanglement of the agents, the crew members had a headache and said that they had to ask the director and producer about this.

But the director and the producer did not know whether to solve the problem, or they were hiding, and they could not be found anywhere.

Deep in the training ground, is a group of actors.Wearing loose training clothes, just sitting there on the mat with nothing to do, in a circle, chatting.

Yesterday, Guan Chen and Master Cai ended their discussions. The latter clutched his wrists and shoulders and was immediately sent to the clinic for examination. The first day's training session ended like that.

When they came today, they somewhat anticipated the current situation.

"His hometown is in the capital, and he used to learn a few tricks from an uncle next door to use for self-defense... There are many hidden masters in places like the capital, so he doesn't know what he has learned, to what extent. I had a fight with someone, and I was suddenly called out yesterday. When I was nervous, I couldn’t hold back my strength. It’s like this for newbies… Really, he really doesn’t have any malicious intentions…”

Xie Jinzhu bitterly explained yesterday's accident.

Facing Xie Jinzhu's explanation, everyone nodded their heads after listening to a sentence, and their expressions were very calm and unified.

If it were yesterday, maybe half of the people would have listened to these things and expressed regret and sympathy for the accident.But after one night, everyone who should be inquired has been inquired, and those who did not take the initiative to inquire have been well-intentioned by others. Today, no one will believe Xie Jinzhu's nonsense.

They watched Xie Jinzhu keep saying that Guan Chen was a good person and a good boy, and they all felt that he was terminally ill and fell into serious conjectures, which was very pitiful.

A few people knew that although they didn't know much about martial arts, at least they weren't blind.When Guan Chen finally locked up Master Cai, his skillful posture, his icy eyes, and the aura he showed did not look like a "good man" or a "good boy".

Turning his head to look at the wall, Guan Chen was not with anyone there, he was playing with a wooden dummy, a set of Wing Chun boxing was not very standard.Every now and then, he stopped and shook his hurt arm, bared his teeth, and it didn't look very harmful.But what is deeply disturbing is that he is holding a handful of something, which is frequently smeared to the "neck" of the wooden man when punching.

"Have you seen Master Cai?" someone in the cast asked the others.

Everyone shook their heads. One of them came early and said that when he saw Master Cai in the morning, Master Cai had a plaster cast on his wrist and the smell of medicine was all over his body.

"Gypsum, so serious?"

"It doesn't have to be serious, it could also be for a quicker recovery."

Most of the people present were old actors who made action movies. They fell and beat, and they dealt with these minor illnesses and injuries a lot, and they knew how long it took to recover from any injury.

"But with a sprain or a strain, one to three weeks of rest is always necessary."

"One to three weeks?"

The training plan is only 20 days in total, and Master Cai cannot do strenuous exercise for one to three weeks to recuperate from his injuries.This also means that for this training, either their martial arts instructor can only use their mouths to guide the whole process, or they can only change to another martial arts instructor.

Once again, everyone looked at the culprit responsible for all this.

Among the people present, not only the actors were peeping, but others were also watching Guan Chen.

If they try to see Guan Chen's guilt, they are simply wishful thinking.

Guan Chen played with the wooden dummy for a while, jumped on the trampoline for a while, and finally warmed up like no one else was around, and then hit the sandbag.

Normal people would never do this... Except for Xie Jinzhu, everyone present reached a consensus.

So when they saw Guan Chen who was taking care of himself and playing well, no one dared to go up and say anything, for fear of being caught and beaten by him.

At eleven o'clock, the morning class was over, and the martial arts, the director and the producer, who could talk, still did not show up.Everyone went to the cafeteria in a mighty way to have lunch.After the meal, everyone had completely given up on the day. Those who took a nap went to take a nap, chatted and chatted, and those who played with their mobile phones were killing time, as if they had given up on the college entrance examination in their self-study class.

Only Guan Chen, like a top alien, continued to train after taking a short nap.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, someone finally stood up.

It was the assistant director who stood up.

While letting the camera turn the machine on, he summoned the crew to remind them that the afternoon class was about to start.

The camera was halfway through the card game, and was surprised that the director was about to show up.

The result is not.

"The camera was set up first, and we pretended to be instructed, and they were willing to move. It's fine to shoot the tidbits, shoot the publicity, shoot anything, in short, we can't do nothing anymore, we have to find something for them to do." Deputy said the director.

The call between the director and the producer still hasn't gotten through, but the actor's agents are already thinking about pulling the artist to run for business.The deputy director thought to himself, if the director came up with a solution, and saw that there were half of the people, and became angry, then these people who were present would be finished.So we can only let the actors do something first.

The camera took this seriously and asked, "Let them do what?"

"Familiar with familiar movements?" The assistant director raised the end of his sentence and said a suggestion with uncertainty.

Master Cai was nowhere to be seen, but his apprentices did not leave.A few with more seniority have been sparring with Master before, so they should be familiar with movements.Let them teach the actors to hold on, it should work.Even if the actors didn't fully grasp it, they at least remembered the movements. It would be easier to wait for Master Cai's verbal guidance or to give guidance on the filming site.

The camera thought the suggestion was good, and the two split up.

The assistant director called for the apprentices. The apprentices did not dare at first, but after being persuaded, they agreed after a moment of hesitation.

The cameraman greeted his subordinates, turned on the camera, and said that he would start shooting tidbits and promotional materials.

Facing the camera, the actors woke up and put down their mobile phones, in short, they saved face.Agents and assistants were also rushed to the side.

Training begins.

The assistant director breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that things were going smoothly.

Unexpectedly, after 5 minutes, it was still not working.

Because those apprentices couldn't deter the actors at all.

When the actor asked "Why do you want to do this?", "Can you make it more difficult?", "I want to be more handsome," the apprentices were completely lost, and they didn't know what to do.

The camera asked the assistant director, what should I do now.

The assistant director had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's run! Even if it's running, do some exercises, and practice physical fitness for 20 days, it will be useful when filming!"

Just when they were worried about whether running would make these uncles dissatisfied, Guan Chen, who was doing push-ups quickly in the corner, then jumped up and punched the sandbag, came into their sight.

With a flash of inspiration, the assistant director proposed, "Let that nerve... let that junior brother of Xie Jinzhu bring them!"

The camera was taken aback and said if this would not be good.

"Yesterday, the martial arts were marked like that, and they should know martial arts... and you see," the assistant director pointed to the venue. Except for Xie Jinzhu, everyone else deliberately avoided Guan Chen and stayed far away. "No one wants to be targeted by this person, he should be able to honestly let everyone run."

The camera has been dealing with composition and pictures for half a lifetime, and it is impossible to see the subtle distance in the venue.

The camera had to agree.

Then the two walked towards Guan Chen with the camera.

Closer, closer.

Walk very slowly.In fact, they are also very stressed.

A person whose actions are unpredictable, especially if the person fights a lot, can feel scary.

So the assistant director and the others resolutely changed their direction and went to find Xie Jinzhu.

"Want Xiao Guan to be a coach?" Xie Jinzhu was very surprised.

"Yes, just take everyone for a run or something..." said the assistant director.

Xie Jinzhu felt that this was no problem, it was very simple, and went to find Guan Chen.

"Let me be a coach?" Guan Chen was a little surprised.

"It should be a consultant or something. I guess he likes your skills." Xie Jinzhu decisively entered the "My little junior brother is amazing" mode and bragged.After complimenting, Guan Chen was still left to decide whether to act or not. "You decide."

Guan Chen nodded and said, "Okay, just tell them, I agree."

"Okay." Xie Jinzhu, like an assistant, turned around and ran to convey Guan Chen's attitude to the assistant director.

Guan Chen snorted and wiped his sweat.

In terms of workplace dramas, who knows the underworld better than him?It's just as if they used the remuneration for their training in the stadium, give them some pointers, it will definitely make them worth the money.

……

An hour and a half later.

The director finally returned to the training center with his martial arts and producers.

There were a few more people behind him.

One of them is Master Cai's brother.

This is also the reason why they disappeared for a morning and half an afternoon - ask Master Cai's senior brother to help.They are from the same family, and the style of action design is also very similar, which can definitely fill up Master Cai's hand injury seamlessly.

When they entered the training ground, the director thought they would see a chaotic or sloppy scene, but what he didn't expect to see was...

"You punch me like this, and I'm like this, and you're finished." Guan Chen said, and slapped an apprentice's neck with his palm.The apprentice was disheartened and lost.

"That's why it's like this, this way." Guan Chen punched the apprentice slowly, letting the apprentice come over.Guan Chen raised his hand to block the palm, and at the same time his lower knee stopped at the fatal place between the apprentice's legs. "To deal with the underworld, be more ruthless. They either beat people or get beaten every day. They are very resistant to beatings. If you don't hit them all at once, it will be very troublesome."

Beside them, is a face full of [Is it necessary?Are you serious? ] actor.

"Go ahead." Guan Chen said to the actor.

"Oh!" The actor hurriedly learned the movements that Guan Chen demonstrated just now, stood in front of the apprentice, and imitated Guan Chen's behavior, punching, palms, and knees.

Guan Chen nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the next actor's side, watched for a while, and said:

"No, no, no, the underworld will tell you about etiquette and martial arts. The knife was knocked out, just pick up the bench and continue to smash it. How could it be waiting for you to hit with empty hands."

"..."

The director and the others looked at each other and found the blankness on each other's faces.
