Actors have no vacation

Chapter 80
"From the time your character has a name, it is destined not to be a trick."

Xie Jinzhu said solemnly that his original guess was being realized little by little.

Guan Chen made an "oh" and looked down at the script, without asking what the guess was.

Xie Jinzhu had no choice but to take the initiative to say, "The character [Chen] is likely to appear in the third installment and become the villain."

Guan Chen just turned to the last part of the script.After the hero tried his best to kill Xie Jinzhu, the big villain, in the corner, a bloody minion quietly sent a text message.And [Chen], who was sitting in the restaurant in the distance, looked at his phone, and waved to the younger brothers behind him to get them ready to take over the site.

"This scene may be included in the final Easter egg. But I can't say for sure. It depends on the situation of "Police Story"." Xie Jinzhu is very experienced.Whether it is the suspense of the series, or the pursuit of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry.

Guan Chen did not speak, nor did he show any joy.

He didn't like "Black Flood Dragon" very much at first, and felt that the plot was outrageous and the characters were stupid.But after "Police Story", he changed a little bit.

Guan Chen became even more disdainful of "Black Flood Dragon".

In addition to being squeezed by the screenwriter's expression space, he also felt bad because of the atmosphere on the set.

Guan Chen remembered that during the filming of "Police Story", Director Chen only slept for about four hours a day, with a nerve tense at all times, rarely relaxing.

After all, the money and face are all given, and if the film exposes any flaws, it will be the director's fault.

Director Chen was under heavy pressure, and he was concentrating with everyone else. If he slackened a little, he would be reprimanded.But as filming progressed, everyone had a hunch that they were participating in the production of a great movie.As a result, the efficiency of the entire crew is getting higher and higher, and people perform their duties and show their professionalism.

Guan Chen thought that all the studios were like that.

The director of "Black Flood Dragon 2" looked weak, and it seemed that he only slept for an hour or two a day, and he might hang up at any time, but there was a sense of relaxation in the air on his set.

The crew set up the scene slowly; the actors chatted and laughed together; the assistant director selected group performers not far away, whoever looked like a foreigner would choose whoever; the props engineer was discussing with a certain actor and asked the other party to swing a knife The force is light, otherwise the foam shaft of the knife handle will fall off...

Guan Chen didn't know if this was considered a carefree experience that belonged only to a small workshop.

He felt that this studio was a bit like the classroom where he was studying when he was studying in his previous life. He should have been nervous to do the questions, but because everyone was a poor student at the bottom of the grade, there was no atmosphere of an exam at all. After the bell rang, everyone's face was full of expressions. It is the comfort of "sleep well".

If you shoot something on a set like this, Guan Chen feels that he can only exert six or seven points of his strength.

"You're wrong to think like this." Xie Jinzhu said that's not the case. The atmosphere of the studio is related to the director, but also to the type of film being shot.For example, shooting comedy on a relaxed set and shooting suspense on a tense set will do more with less.

"What atmosphere should an idol movie be like?" Guan Chen asked, "There are many good-looking idols?"

Xie Jinzhu nodded, then immediately shook his head and said, "Idol movies are just a statement, not the tone of the movie. The tone of our movie is blood!"

Xie Jinzhu raised his chin as a gesture, letting Guan Chen follow his gaze.

Guan Chen looked over and saw that it was an old man with white hair.

"That's the role of [restaurant owner]. Teacher Xing auditioned, but was not selected. Probably not old enough." Xie Jinzhu said.

"It's really old." Looking at the old actor who was resting not far away, Guan Chen touched his chin and nodded, and said, "So, such an old man doesn't retire and stays at home, but he still goes out to work when he is old. Is it just blood?"

"...That's not what you mean!" Xie Jinzhu asked Guan Chen to look down, "Pay attention to his hands and fingers!"

Guan Chen looked at the old man's hand.

The little finger of the old actor's left hand is covered with a length of green cloth, which looks like half a gherkin.

"It's convenient to remove that little finger in the later stage. To reflect the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes." Xie Jinzhu gestured with his eyes, is this bloody enough?Don't underestimate underworld movies.

Guan Chen flipped through the script and introduced this [restaurant owner].On the surface, he is an ordinary boss, but behind his back is an old villain who has retired from the arena, working as an arms broker.After the male protagonist was rescued by [Chen], he was taken to the restaurant by the latter and introduced to the [restaurant owner], saying that he wanted to buy a gun, so he would buy it here.

"Originally, your role was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but you're here today. Would you like to try it out first?" The director's weak voice sounded beside Guan Chen.

Guan Chen turned his head and saw the director walking over with the screenwriter.

"Okay." Guan Chen agreed without hesitation.

There is no action scene today. Master Cai and his brothers are not on the set. Guan Chen was not able to relax his muscles and bones. Although it is a bit regrettable, it is also a good feeling to come to perform temporarily.

Unlike Guan Chen's eagerness to try, Xie Jinzhu, who was sitting beside him, was very worried.

He knew that the director wanted to try Guan Chen's fineness.

The director had only seen Guan Chen's martial arts before, so he didn't know the level of Guan Chen's literary drama.After hearing that Guan Chen was selected for "Police Story", the director has been curious about what happened.Xie Jinzhu said that he was selected on the basis of strength in normal auditions.The director thought it was amazing, so under the encouragement of Xie Jinzhu, the screenwriter increased the role of [Chen] and buried the suspense, which may become the villain of the third film.

Xie Jinzhu is not worried about Guan Chen's strength, what he is worried about is that the time is too rushed, making Guan Chen too late to prepare for the role.

"I want to make a suggestion." Guan Chen looked at the director.

The director asked for advice.

"That little finger should be replaced by a thumb." Guan Chen pointed to the hot-blooded senior actor.

The director was puzzled and asked why.

"A person who owes gambling debts chops off his tail finger, and a pickpocket chops his index finger, but if he once pointed a gun at someone who shouldn't be pointing his finger, his thumb will eventually be chopped off." Guan Chen said, "The boss is secretly a semi-retired. the arms broker, then having his thumb chopped off would be more in line with his background."

"..." The people around were silent for a few seconds, as if an angel was passing by at this moment.

【came back.Brother Chen is back. 】These words echoed in the hearts of the director, screenwriter, and surrounding staff at the same time.

【Looks like you are ready! ] Xie Jinzhu looked at Guan Chen who was in good condition with satisfaction.Don't worry about him anymore.

"In addition, I may change these lines, according to my own ideas." Guan Chen said to the screenwriter.

The screenwriter's face was a little ugly, and the director immediately reminded him in a low voice: "Yunman!", "Yunman University!", "Yunman University Department of Literature!".

Guan Chen didn't want to bully people with his diploma.He remembered the method taught by Zhang Jingsheng, and he pulled the screenwriter aside and muttered for a while.After coming back, the screenwriter looked better and said, "Then let's try it first."

So Guan Chen was taken to change clothes and do styling.

Although his role will start the day after tomorrow, the costume has been prepared in advance.It's a formal suit.The clothes he prepared with the data from two months ago are already a bit small when worn at this time.Because the time span of the "Police" story is a few years apart, Guan Chen gained a little muscle in the second half of the filming.

The stylist was in a hurry to find clothes.In the end, I only found one piece from Xie Jinzhu for Guan Chen.

The news that Guan Chen was going to perform immediately spread throughout the entire crew.

Everyone is very curious about how Guan Chen, who returns from "Golden Studying Abroad", will act later.

Meanwhile, the restaurant scene has been set up.Group performances of some foreign faces are arranged throughout the restaurant.It means that this restaurant selling arms and firearms is located in an area where foreigners live, and foreigners here have a way to get arms and firearms.

While Guan Chen was modeling, the male protagonist came over and greeted him.

The male protagonist has been trained by Guan Chen and knows Guan Chen's "real style". He is very afraid that Guan Chen, who has forewarned that he will change his lines, will suddenly pick up something and hit him in the head later.If the male protagonist wants Guan Chen to hit him on the head, please tell him in advance so that he can be prepared.

Guan Chen said that there is no need to prepare.

After finishing the look and changing clothes, Guan Chen followed behind the director to understand the moving lines, and probably knew how to move.

Guan Chen closed his eyes and let the stylist handle his hair.He was also thinking about the performance later.

It's been a long time since he used those characters in his memory.

Thinking of the gang boss, he can think of many characters in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, British, American, German, French, and even Brazilian films.

But after he played "Police Story", he is no longer so superstitious about classic roles.

There are vacancies in using the classic roles of Earth in the script of another world, and those vacancies have to be filled by him with his own memories and feelings.

own memory...

Guan Chen smiled.

There are too many memories about the gangster.Although he has never been a boss, he has seen too many bosses.

During the 10-[-] minutes of just sitting and modeling, Guan Chen had already figured out how to act later.

When the director said "Start", the No. 20 people in the restaurant moved together, talking and chatting, acting as the background.

Guan Chen walked into the restaurant with the male protagonist who was looking around cautiously, came to the counter, and introduced the boss, who was wearing a green cloth cover on his right thumb, to the male protagonist: [If you want to buy a knife or a gun, look for him. 】

The male protagonist said solemnly: [You help me like this, so you are not afraid of death? 】

Guan Chen smiled and asked him: [How about you?Are you afraid? 】

The male protagonist shook his head: [I will not die. 】

Guan Chen said: [People are taboo to talk about their own way of dying, but they often express their views on the death of others.In fact, in our line of business, we should be prepared to hack others to death at any time, and be prepared to be hacked to death at any time.If anyone cherishes their life, that person will soon die. 】

This is Guan Chen's first sentence.

The screenwriter outside the venue was stunned for a moment, and immediately lowered his head and flipped through the script.Turning to the scene where the male protagonist and Xie Jinzhu are in the office, in which Xie Jinzhu plays the boss, and the male protagonist has a dialogue about each other's death.And in the end, it was also because the big guy cherished his life and his movements and momentum were a bit weaker that he was seriously injured by the hero's fight, in exchange for the death of the other party.

[The fortune-teller told me that my life is a success, but I don't agree. I think it's up to me to decide whether to live or die. ] Guan Chen rested his elbows on the table, lowered his head, and most of his eyes were hidden in the shadows: [Last year, six of my brothers were killed by them.Like you, I have a common enemy.I am ready to die in revenge.If you're not ready, just pretend I didn't bring you here today. 】

Guan Chen looked at the male protagonist calmly. There was no impulsiveness or timidity in his eyes. Some, he just decided to die calmly.The kind of open-mindedness in him to die and the righteousness to avenge his brother are not possessed by Xie Jinzhu, who is "desperate at dusk".

Some people who have watched the final battle in Xie Jinzhu's office looked at Guan Chen, and quietly floated in their hearts the feeling that "he does have more than that big brother played by Xie Jinzhu".

In the end, according to the script, the male protagonist nodded resolutely, determined to kill the boss played by Xie Jinzhu.

After the hero left, the restaurant owner walked up to him, facing the seat where the hero left, and said hoarsely: [It's a good knife, but unfortunately it can only be used once. 】

【Won't. ] Guan Chen shook his head with a smile, his eyes were deep and cold: [He can't look back.I can see that he is not really avenging his brother now, he is actually enjoying the pursuit and the pain.Such people can't go back to their normal days.So, he will be the best knife in my hand until it breaks. 】

The screenwriter was speechless, and he was no longer dissatisfied with Guan Chen's changes in his lines.

Because Guan Chen's words just now were like the first drop of ink on Jiaolong's body.The complexity and depth of the role of the male protagonist is there all at once.How to write the male protagonist of the third part, I immediately have a direction.

When the director shouted "Stop-", everyone praised Guan Chen's performance and applauded spontaneously.

But Guan Chen just smiled calmly, then sat on the chair, resting his chin in his hand, staring blankly forward.

he was thinking.

Think of the boss of a previous life.

He didn't know if his boss had said something similar when he took him in.
