Actors have no vacation

Chapter 78
At noon, there were a lot of people on Modu TV, all kinds of people, all kinds of skin colors, coming and going like a bus station.

Guan Chen still remembered the call with Xiaoxiong not long ago, so he wanted to learn to observe life, observe human beings, and accumulate materials just like his predecessor.

Guan Chen took out his mobile phone and was about to take a picture, but the security guard didn't know whether he regarded him as a commercial spy or a groupie, and kept going around him.Guan Chen took the photo for a while, then put away the phone in disappointment.It's not because of the interference of security guards, but because he found that most people are in a hurry, and a small number of people are overwhelmed, and the homogeneity is serious, and there is basically no value for observation.

I don't know if it's his observation method or the wrong place.

Guan Chen thought it was the latter, so he stood up from the ground and walked to the lounge area in the hall.

The lounge area is connected to a bar that sells drinks. Many people order a drink and sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows while basking in the filtered sun, talking, reading, or waiting.

Guan Chen used the amount of drinks left on people's tables to judge the length of the conversation and whether the atmosphere was harmonious.

Finally, he found a table with a little less than full of drinks, probably just sitting down, he quietly ambushed aside, ready to listen to other people's lives.

After listening for a while, the situation at the table beside him was roughly that one person was talking about his dream, and the other two were denying his dream.

The person who was denied had a sign on his chest. He seemed to be a staff member of a TV station. He had rich experience in TV drama production. Not a dream.

They asked him to write on a different subject.The person who was hit finally had to say miserably, he took it back and changed it.

【It's so miserable. ] Guan Chen listened with relish while drinking milk tea.

At the other table, there were two employees who were sent to run errands to buy drinks. While they were waiting for the drinks to be made, the two chatted about other programs of their peers. No, it's because of the time period, lack of funds, and no good host...

[They are talking about their own show. 】 Guan Chen makes a judgment.

Guan Chen originally wanted to listen to it for a while longer, but he sat here and slowly attracted the attention of some people around him - everyone thought he was an entertainer.

This made Guan Chen's eavesdropping plan a little hindered.

Some little girls looked at him frequently, and he became the object of observation; the people at the next table not only lowered their voices when chatting, but also changed the topic, as if he would talk to someone after listening.

Guan Chen felt bored.He looked at the time, and there were still 10 minutes before the scheduled meeting time.

Guan Chen sucked and ate the last pearl, got up and walked to the bookstore next to the bar.

The last time I came to play with Little Bear, Guan Chen noticed this bookstore.But I didn't have time to visit last time.

Guan Chen likes books very much now, and he can't help but go in and stroll around the bookstore to see if there are any books that suit his taste.

Some are just as good as the content, while others are just as good as the book cover.

The paper and cover of the hardcover book are better than ordinary ones. If you carry it close to your body, you may be able to block knives. It is also good to use the spine to attack the throat of the enemy. With his pen, you can form a self-defense suit for literati.

Guan Chen is looking for the hardcover book that meets the requirements in both content and cover.

Walking into the bookstore, I found that although the space inside is small, the types of books are quite suitable for Guan Chen's taste. After all, the customers here are people who travel between TV stations and do not need books related to agriculture and medicine.

The table that enters the door is the best-selling area, and there are some books that have been selling well recently.

Guan Chen once thought that he would kindly see "Yunman 04:30 in the morning", "Shuimu at [-]:[-] in the morning", or a best-selling book with a small and fresh sentence as the title, but he was disappointed to find that the best-selling book here Books are not all cheap chicken soup.

Sometimes it's popular literature, sometimes it's the debut work of a newcomer in the literary world, and sometimes it's a new work by a famous artist. If a list of influential awards is announced recently, the poetry collection has a chance to become a bestseller.

After Guan Chen entered the [junior high school], he basically picked books in the best-selling area.

Probably because the EQ of TV station people is not very high, Guan Chen found that there are many workplace books in the best-selling area, and they want to improve the EQ of customers.

Guan Chen picked up a book called How to Talk to People with High Emotional Intelligence, and the girdle said, "The Magic Weapon for Success in the Workplace".Flip it around and turn to a page. When he wants to say "I can't", he can change it to "I can learn"; change "Do you understand?" to "I don't know if I made it clear. "; "You didn't understand what I meant" was changed to "I may not have explained clearly"...

"Ho." Guan Chen sneered disdainfully.It's just a little guy who needs this kind of thing, and a cadre like him and a prospective shareholder, only the employees can look at him.

Putting down the book, Guan Chen walked to the [Children's Book Area] to see if the black cat detective had caught a new criminal, but found three little dots in front of him.

It stands to reason that today is neither a holiday nor a weekend. The primary school students should be still in school at this time.But Guan Chen only wondered for a moment, and it wasn't very strange.Because this is a TV station, and the entertainment industry is the only place where child labor can be used honestly.

Looking at these three little clothes, Guan Chen guessed that these three may have been out for longer than him.

Guan Chen thought so, and stopped to read to see what books they had chosen.

A few little ones are hesitating and don't know what to choose.

"I recommend this book." Guan Chen behind them, after listening for a few minutes, couldn't help but come forward and recommend it.

"Are you already an adult?" Xiaobudian turned his head to see Guan Chen, feeling that Guan Chen's recommendation was not very reliable.

"Adults are just children with more moral values." Guan Chen felt that he had no moral values, so the recommended books must also be suitable for children.

Xiao Budian was infected by Guan Chen's confidence and couldn't help but see what he recommended.

""The Gourd Man"? I've seen this a long time ago!" The little boys burst into laughter.

The strange thing is that even though they have all seen it, they are still happily discussing how the seven gourd warriors can use their skills, subdue demons and eliminate demons, and pass the test.

"No." Guan Chen shook his head inexplicably.

The little ones stopped cheering each other and looked at Guan Chen.

"The snake demon inside lived a good life with her husband, but seven little devils came to ask for trouble one by one. In the workplace, there are often such disasters, so what we need to learn should be the super intelligent snake demon Ah." Guan Chen recommended: "For example, if the hero is so powerful, the snake demon will try to trap him; if the two heroes have clairvoyant eyes, the snake demon will blind each other..." Guan Chen pointed out the place where the snake demon was located one by one. The means used are wearing small shoes, splashing dirty water, grabbing the small tail, snapping the hat, breaking from the inside, black eat black...

"This is the real magic weapon for success in the workplace." Guan Chen sighed.

The little ones looked at each other, holding the book blankly, paying the money blankly, and then walking towards the elevator blankly.

"Do a good deed every day and reach the standard." Guan Chen touched his heart and felt the touch of a good witness through his clothes, and felt that his soul was purer.

After continuing to visit the bookstore for a while, Guan Chen felt his phone vibrate suddenly.

He took it out and took a look, walked out of the bookstore, and saw Director Zhou who was going to meet today at the beverage bar.

It has been nearly four months since the filming of "Tonight".

Director Zhou was wearing a wrinkled plaid shirt and baggy pants.The eyelids seem to be unable to lift, the dark circles hanging under the eyes.Compared to four months ago, he seems to be four years older, and he looks like a successful variety show director.

"In the late stage, something happened temporarily." Zhou Dao rubbed his eyes and asked Guan Chen, "What would you like to drink?"

Guan Chen asked for a cup of iced tea.

When filming "Tonight", Guan Chen hadn't bought a new phone yet.After the filming of the show that day, Director Zhou gave him a business card, and Guan Chen saved the number later.But it was just saved and there was no contact, so Director Zhou never knew Guan Chen's number.

Until two days ago, Guan Chen looked back at the people and things he encountered along the way since he came to this world, and found that the reason why he was able to get to where he is today was not wrong, but it was related to the people he met.From Little Bear, to Xing Yan and then to Senior Brother, except for Qian Liangyi, everyone is a very good person.And the source of the good person line has to be the first director Zhou who bought books from him.

So after nearly four months, Guan Chen sent a text message to Director Zhou and asked him, [What else do you wish for?I can do it for you. 】

"I was so frightened at the time that I thought I was going to die!" Director Zhou was drinking coffee and basking in the sun, reminiscing about the text message with lingering fears.

"Normal people should suspect telecom fraud, right?" Guan Chen wondered, "You owe money outside?"

Director Zhou shook his head quickly: "At that time, I just finished interviewing a person who claimed to have a psychic constitution, and told a lot of strange things that I encountered since I was a child. I was a little nervous, and suddenly I received your text message. Same."

Guan Chen said, "It seems that the show "Tonight" is doing well now."

"It's not bad." Director Zhou smiled and changed his words: "Compared with that time, it can be said to be very good. I have to thank you for this."

Director Zhou said that it was precisely because of Guan Chen's episode that their program team understood the next direction and determined the core of the program, which really made the idea fall to the ground.After gaining popularity on the Internet, the ratings of the show have also improved little by little. "You later appeared in "Extreme Man", and netizens turned out your episode, and the ratings of our show increased a little bit." Now they The play time is also mentioned at ten o'clock, and it is no longer a late night file.

"It's good for each other." Guan Chen smiled.

Director Zhou began to tell Guan Chen about the interesting interview subjects he had met in the past few months.There are all kinds.

Guan Chen listened very carefully.He is no longer the one who had no thoughts four months ago and didn't know what to do after he was full.

At this time, listening to Director Zhou talking about the changes in the program, he no longer felt boring or confused.

Just now, he always wanted to know about other people's lives. Now, thinking about it carefully, isn't "Tonight" doing such a thing?

Listening and listening, Guan Chen felt more and more that Director Zhou's experience could confirm something in his heart - to create, he really needed to get through his own internals first.Whether it’s a TV series or a variety show, if the creators themselves don’t believe in what they make, then no matter how much money is spent, no matter how strong they are, what they express is just a weak noise that will soon be rejected by others. The voice was drowned out.

"I asked you out this time because I want to ask you something." Director Zhou said.

Guan Chen waited for the other party to speak.

He sent that text message to Director Zhou because he really wanted to repay his kindness.Unexpectedly, Director Zhou called him the next day, saying that he might really need Guan Chen's help.

Director Zhou sorted out his remarks and made it clear:
"About half a year from now, we're going to start a new variety show. I'm still the director. The content is similar to what I'm doing now, and it's also about observing a person's home, but the difference is that the new show is aimed at artists."

"So, the new show is filmed at the artist's home?" Guan Chen thought back.

"Yes." Director Zhou nodded.This is also the inspiration brought by Guan Chen.Because it was obviously shot as a passerby, but I didn't expect "older actors" to become popular so quickly.

Later, when everyone went back to watch that episode, it was more to satisfy their curiosity about Guan Chen, analyze Guan Chen's bookcase, and guess Guan Chen's usual living habits.

After Guan Chen's confirmation of appearing in "Police Story" news appeared, everyone already regarded Guan Chen as an artist in their words and deeds.

It is foreseeable that when "Police Story" is released, another group of people will come to "Tonight" for archaeology.Because I am curious about Guan Chen, I am curious about every bit of Guan Chen's life.

So Director Zhou wondered if he could make an artist version of a home observation program.

The amateur version is to show that ordinary people can live extraordinary lives.

In the artist version, I want to show that the star is just an ordinary person.

"The plan has not been completely perfected." Director Zhou said, "but it is probably just to observe what the person being filmed is doing at home, and maybe go out with the filming and filming what he did during the day."

In fact, I haven't thought about what kind of artist to invite to the show.But Guan Chen was already in the first batch of invitations.

He also thought before that Guan Chen might not be willing to come after the filming became popular.But as soon as Guan Chen's text message was sent, Director Zhou immediately had a hunch.stable.

Sure enough, after Guan Chen heard it, he nodded cheerfully: "Okay."

Director Zhou asked: "Don't you need to talk to the brokerage company?"

Guan Chen shook his head: "I can decide for myself." After all, he is a senior cadre, so he still has some freedom.

Zhou Dao was very satisfied.

Guan Chen asked him, "What's the name of the show? I'll ask my agent to memorize it for me."

"The title of the program has not been determined yet, but it is tentatively set to be "I Live Alone"."

Guan Chen nodded, ready to turn around and talk to his senior brother.

"By the way," Director Zhou suddenly thought of something and asked, "Will you be in a relationship at that time? If you happen to be in a relationship, I'm afraid it will disturb you if you are photographed at home."

"I can learn."

"……what???"

"Oh, I mean, I wouldn't."

----

Note: "I Live Alone" comes from the reality show "I Live Alone".
