Actors have no vacation

Chapter 46 Candidates

Boxing is inseparable from the hand, and singing is inseparable from the mouth. All skills that require practice make perfect, and will become unfamiliar if not practiced.

Guan Chen knew this.

In particular, his body in this life is different from the body in which he was familiar with every muscle in his previous life.Different heights, different arm spans, and different leg lengths bring different sense of space.It is only through combat that one can better adapt to the new body.

Guan Chen has been here for more than half a month. He exercises every day, has a balanced nutrition, and slept a lot. His body has improved a lot, and he can start the actual combat stage.

But opponents are hard to find.

In this life, he intends to be a good person, and can no longer go out on the street to casually pick quarrels and stir up trouble.So I can only settle for the next best thing and prepare to find a boxing gym.

Guan Chen's original plan was to go to the boxing gym to sign up for a class in the weekend after acting classes, and have legal fights with the trainees and coaches to regain mastery of fighting skills.

But I didn't expect to follow Xie Jinzhu to the Caijiaban training center, and there was unexpected joy.

Coming here, he can beat people during working hours, without having to wait until the weekend.Not only can you use the training grounds for free, eat for free, beat human flesh sandbags for free, and even get paid.

"Hold on." Guan Chen slowly frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Beating people at work... Free training... Beating people for money...

"How can it be so similar to the work in my previous life..." Guan Chen stopped sharpening his knife.

"Ding bell." The phone on the table rang.

It was Xie Jinzhu who said he had gone downstairs and brought breakfast.

Guan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was almost shaken just now.This life is a little different from the previous one.

Although he beat people, he was still a good man.

He worked part-time as an underworld action coach and underworld knowledge advisor yesterday.Cleaning up the apprentices is just to make them feel the despicable and terrifying underworld better. If they can put these feelings into the movie, then Guan Chen will be a good witness worthy of his chest.

Guan Chen hid the knife, picked up the change of clothes, and walked downstairs briskly.

However, as soon as I got into the car, I heard bad news.

"You should be able to train today." Xie Jinzhu said, "I heard that the director and the others went to Jinmen yesterday to invite Master Cai's brother, who should take over from Master Cai and give us guidance on the movements."

"Isn't it me?" Guan Chen was stunned.

"You think too much." Xie Jinzhu chuckled, thinking that the younger brother is quite innocent and cute.

Yesterday, it was only to see that the director and the producer were not there, so he played with the younger brother.He didn't think that after the assistant director simply asked, Guan Chen could replace Master Cai, who has a series of successful works, and become a martial arts instructor.

Xie Jinzhu has cooperated with so many martial arts instructors, and he is very clear that this job is not a job that can be done just by being able to fight.

“[Martial arts instructors] are not just better than anyone else. Their job, in addition to designing good-looking movements, also has to express the character’s emotions through movements and reflect the character’s reaction in a specific situation.

For example, to highlight the male protagonist's tenacity, let him turn defeat into victory in a difficult situation.

For example, to reflect the villain's ruthlessness and unscrupulousness, his fighting style should be a little dirty, a little ruthless, and a little poisonous. "

After Xie Jinzhu finished citing two examples, he suddenly remembered something, clamped his legs, and said, "Yesterday you asked the male protagonist to poke me in the eye and hit my balls again. The audience will definitely be confused about who is who. The villain!" Finally concluded, "So your set is not good. Those moves you taught everyone, self-defense is okay, and it will definitely be useless to put it in the movie."

Guan Chen was indignant: "Don't be ruthless in the fight with the underworld, people will rush up, one person and one knife, who will fight you one-on-one."

"Your kind is too realistic." Xie Jinzhu said, "It's a movie, as long as it's handsome."

Guan Chen was very depressed.

Xie Jinzhu smiled and comforted Guan Chen: "But your skills are similar to when I was young. Maybe you can open up your career in action movies in the future."

Guan Chen was not comforted at all.

……

The two came to the training center.

This time the training ground was not as chaotic as it was yesterday.

The assistants either waited honestly, or communicated with their peers in a low voice.

The broker didn't even see a few.

The apprentices were no longer overwhelmed like ghosts, but were instructed by Master Cai to arrange training props.

Master Cai had a plaster cast on his wrist and thick clothes, and he had determined that he did not intend to exercise vigorously.Next to him is a middle-aged man who is older and fatter than him, who should be his senior brother.

Xie Jinzhu went over to say hello.

However, after the brother said hello briefly, his eyes fell directly on Guan Chen.

The senior brother shook his sleeves, gave Guan Chen a fist salute, and asked, "Your Tang Shou, Ang Quan, Cai Li Fo Quan and Hua Xia Wrestling are all good. Can you tell me which one is your teacher?"

Guan Chen listened to these unfamiliar terms and wondered when he had practiced them.But he reacted quickly.

Yesterday, when he fought against the apprentices of Cai's family, he took turns showing off the unarmed fighting skills he had learned in his previous life.In addition to the UFC four-piece suit - boxing, muay thai, jiu-jitsu, wrestling; others also used some karate, sanda, judo and Chinese wrestling.

Guan Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

If the techniques he showed have found corresponding boxing styles in Chinese martial arts, it means that these boxing styles have also been scientifically developed and reformed, and now they have become practical weapons.

In front of this senior brother who is posing an inscrutable appearance, I think he should have a lot of knowledge. It would be great if he could learn something new.

When Guan Chen thought of this, his fighting spirit became high, and he couldn't help asking, "Do you want to fight?"

"..." Senior brother swayed, almost not maintaining the demeanor of an expert.

"You brat!" Master Cai, who was on the side, stepped forward and quietly pushed his brother's back with his hand, asking him to teach him a lesson, but he didn't push him.

"He's joking, joking." Xie Jinzhu rounded up with a smile.He felt that this kid Guan Chen was nervous and scared, afraid that his senior brother would come and find his way back.

But ah, Xiaoguan, don't forget that you also have a senior brother!
Xie Jinzhu stepped forward and stood in front of Guan Chen, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with Xiaoguan. Yesterday, the assistant director asked me to take everyone to exercise, and I agreed on behalf of Xiaoguan. The little masters here couldn't see it, and took the initiative to challenge. Xiaoguan was also very measured, and he didn't hurt a single person. What's the matter? Come to me!"

After listening to the brother, he almost said good.

But he remembered that Guan Chen was still there, so he endured it.

The surrounding people noticed the surging tide here, and the training ground gradually quieted down.

Someone from the crew ran to call the director, someone guarded the gate, and someone watched vigilantly to see if anyone was secretly recording the scene.

Only some people stand in the distance, their eyes are always peaceful, as if they have seen the law of development of the universe.

"Don't be nervous." Senior brother said with a smile, "I just want to say hello to this little brother."

Xie Jinzhu frowned.He has seen a lot of underworld movies, and when he understands this, it is basically a threat and warning, [There are so many people now, what should I do in public so as not to fall into the truth, but be careful when I walk at night in the future, maybe I will ...]

Xie Jinzhu hadn't finished adding what he meant when he heard his brother continue to say, "Because maybe we'll be working together for a while."

Senior brother looked at Guan Chen with complicated eyes.Not only because he knew that he could not beat the opponent, but also because of the director's decision yesterday.After watching Guan Chen's nonsense fight scene, the director watched it several times in a row.Of course he knew what that meant.

It is undeniable that Guan Chen's design is remarkable, but it is too realistic and cruel. By giving people "pain", the audience can feel "true". "Reality" is not bad, but in a movie where the protagonist can dodge bullets and the plot goes very unreal, the truth will make the audience play.

The director also thought of these things, but he seemed to be inspired by something, and he was reluctant to give up, so he just watched the film over and over again, which seemed very tangled.

In the end, he discussed with the director and the screenwriter. On the basis of the original, he added a little bit of Guan Chen's realistic style of play, but to reduce the "real", it is equivalent to changing the martial arts [play] according to [ Acting] ideas to pat and see.If the effect is good, just add a little more. If it doesn't work, then it's still according to Master Cai's original design.

"Work together?" Xie Jinzhu wondered in his heart, what kind of nonsense is this, and which film is it from.

"Thank you!"

Suddenly a voice came from the side.

It was the director who came to hear the news and appeared.

The director's pace was very fluttering, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well last night.

He was holding a few sheets of paper with scribbled storyboards on them, barely identifiable as fight scenes.

"I watched...the actions designed by Xiaoguan yesterday, and I still have a lot of ideas. I'm going to change the style of the action scenes." The director rambled, and told Xie Jinzhu about the plan discussed by the crew yesterday.

Xie Jinzhu was a little surprised after hearing this, because he told Guan Chen not long ago that martial arts is not that simple.Unexpectedly, Guan Chen will really participate in the action design team.But he was surprised, he knew very well that this was a good thing for Guan Chen.

"But why tell me about this kind of thing?" Xie Jinzhu was a little puzzled.

The director looked at Guan Chen who was running warmly around the field in the distance and said, "He seems to listen to you more..."

Xie Jinzhu nodded.Xiaoguan is indeed an obedient and good boy, very different from the previous juniors.

Xie Jinzhu walked to Guan Chen and told him the matter.

Guan Chen was thinking, why did things suddenly happen like this.But he didn't feel bad. Now he can change his name and ask Master Cai's brother for advice on boxing.

"Participating in the action design team of the entire film and getting to know a few more people will be very beneficial for you to make action films in the future." Xie Jinzhu gave an example, "For example, "Police Story". You also need to train when you go there. , After you train here, go over there, you can know why some movements are designed this way, and if you are not satisfied with something, you can also give advice to the martial arts instructor with reason."

"But in the end, it's up to you to decide." Xie Jinzhu finally said.

Guan Chen didn't hesitate and nodded: "Okay."

……

……

Beijing, Changping District.

Director Chen, who was sitting in the office, received a contract.

At the end of the contract, a name is signed below.

This means that a character has belonging.

The contract he has in hand belongs to [Wu Ze].

Director Chen sighed.

He still thinks that Guan Chen is the perfect candidate for [Wu Ze]. These days, he thinks of Guan Chen from time to time and his performance on the audition day.The audition footage was watched and watched by him.

He imagined countless confrontation scenes between Guan Chen and Zhang Jingsheng, and felt that the film made in this way would probably be a masterpiece of his career.

But there is no way.

No matter how much he persuaded the producers, nothing changed.

[Wu Ze] In the end, this role will be played by the actor who was stuffed by Mr. Tang.

Packing up his mood, Director Chen called his assistant: "Everyone is almost there, let's determine the training venue and time."
