Actors have no vacation

Chapter 81 Learning
Guan Chen didn't have many scenes, and it was originally planned to be filmed in three or four days.

But after trying Guan Chen's quality on the first day, Guan Chen sat there and changed his lines. Fireworks burst into the minds of the director and screenwriter, and new inspirations burst out from time to time, and he couldn't calm down.

They obviously followed in the footsteps of Director Chen and the screenwriter of "The Police", and they can't quit in a short time.

Originally, when the male protagonist left the group to participate in the advertising campaign, the crew stopped working for a long time. The director was very sad, and felt that the money was wasted for a long time.But now with Guan Chen, the director's face that may die at any time shows the high spirits when he first entered film school.

The director dragged Guan Chen to keep him from leaving, and always tried every means to beg Guan Chen to act more.

Guan Chen didn't have any objections. There were apprentices from Cai's class at any time on the set to raise fists for him. It was just what he wanted to stay for a few more days.

So the director not only arranged the opposite scenes of Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu in the name of "flashback", but also added a second easter egg, a third easter egg...

After the male protagonist chopped down Xie Jinzhu, he went back to the restaurant to find Chen, returned the knife and gun, and thanked the latter for his help.Chen congratulated and comforted the hero and sent him away.The restaurant owner looked at the bloody knives and guns on the table and asked what to do.Chen ate the hot pot carelessly and said, just keep the knives and guns, because the kid can't leave, and he will come back to get them soon.As soon as the words were finished, a little brother next to him silently handed over a few photos. It was a close friend and classmate of the male protagonist in his school.Chen put large pieces of raw meat into the boiling pot to rinse, and casually explained to his younger brother, let's do it.

"This is an Easter egg! If we continue to shoot, the third film will be finished!" Xie Jinzhu, as experienced as always, quickly judged that the director wants to rub the heat again, "It's like a bear rubbing against a tree, it's endless! "

Xie Jinzhu angrily went to the director for the theory, and finally won a paycheck for Guan Chen, he came back with a smile and whispered to Guan Chen that the possibility of Guan Chen appearing in the third movie is getting bigger and bigger, " But the contract can't be signed early, it has to wait until "The Police" is released. How many times your salary can be doubled depends on how many billions the box office of "The Police" reaches. In the end, even if the box office fails, but the popularity rises, the salary can also increase a lot. ."

Guan Chen never thought that "Police Story" might hit the streets.

Whether it is the plot of the script, the completion of the film, or even the performance of everyone performing their duties, Zhang Jingsheng's box office appeal makes Guan Chen feel confident that he will get good results.Especially after he saw the set of "Black Flood Dragon 2" with his own eyes, he became more confident.

"Everyone thinks this way." Xie Jinzhu shook his head unconsciously, his eyes suddenly thickened, "When an actor, where would someone go to make a bad movie? Very rarely, pay debts or make money. Basically Everyone thinks that they have made a good movie and will have a good work. But what should I say about movies, until the end, no one knows whether it will be a success or a failure..."

Xie Jinzhu seriously told Guan Chen that the ultimate success of a movie is the result of many factors.Even if the production is perfect, if the distribution is unfortunately selected in a bad schedule, the propagandist makes a pig teammate operation, the starring is exposed and the scandal is boycotted by the audience... it may usher in another situation.

Like what the director of "Black Flood Dragon 2" is doing now, clinging to higher-grade movies to gain popularity, it's just to strive for a little more possibility of success, doing his best and obeying fate.

Guan Chen put away his arrogant and natural thoughts, which made him a little nervous.

He obviously also cares about the success of the movie.

Because he has special feelings for the role of Wu Ze.

Just like the reason why he acted in "Wanted in the City" - to do something good and let others learn from it.

He hopes that Wu Ze, played by him, will make parents pay more attention to their children after seeing it; he hopes that those lonely children like him can see the [answer] in the movie and not die like Wu Ze. Only when you wake up to the people behind you, don't be like him, only to find that you have nothing when you die.

"Then can I do something?" Guan Chen hopes that "Police Story" can be seen by more people.

Xie Jinzhu smiled and said, "Work harder when running the promotion."

An actor's job is to act.In terms of filming and production, perform well, even if you have completed your task.As for other aspects, the most actors are the most, that is, they put more effort into publicity.

"Got it." Guan Chen nodded.

Xie Jinzhu told Guan Chen not to worry: "Huang Jin and Shen He's side, then I will go to them and ask for a few invitations for you."

Xie Jinzhu helped Guan Chen to ask for a publicity opportunity, and obviously he couldn't ask for a second time in a short period of time. In this way, he regarded Guan Chen's "Police Story" more seriously than his own "Black Flood Dragon 2".

"No, no." Guan Chen quickly waved his hand.

Xie Jinzhu said if you want it, you want it.

"It's really not necessary," Guan Chen said, "Zhang Jingsheng has already promised to push me on a few variety shows."

Guan Chen reported several names, and Xie Jinzhu knew that these were programs with high ratings and great influence.Among them, He Tu from Southern Hunan and Cai Yuan from Bay Province are both big-name hosts who are as famous as Huang Jin... Not someone like him who is weak and weak [Shen He faction] can be compared.

"This Zhang Jingsheng..." Xie Jinzhu asked blankly, "I didn't want to dig you over, did I?"

Guan Chen nodded: "His agent did come to ask me if I wanted to change jobs."

"!" Xie Jinzhu pushed the sunglasses frame calmly.However, he didn't wear sunglasses at all at this time, and he didn't respond when a finger was poked into his eyes.

Guan Chen said with a smile: "I told all the agents including her that I have signed a contract and it is impossible to leave."

Xie Jinzhu burst into tears with a finger poke in one eye, and moved to tears in the other eye.He was very happy that this time, the character of the junior apprentice and younger brother finally improved, but at the same time he was very worried, for fear that the delay would drag down Guan Chen's future.

"If you are moved, give me a promotion!" Guan Chen hinted that the leader could give him shares.

Xie Jinzhu smiled, gratified.

The assistant is promoted further, and it is the agent.Can Guan Chen still be a broker?Obviously not possible.

So the younger brother is now using a joke to help him out with a warm heart.Xie Jinzhu felt very happy.

"Go! Brother, please eat something delicious!" Xie Jinzhu stood up and patted Guan Chen on the shoulder.

Guan Chen thought to himself that the senior brother was so slick enough to change the topic of promotion so naturally.But he is not discouraged. He is still young, and he will definitely be able to survive the death of Manager Qian to be promoted to shareholder first.

Guan Chen stood up and followed Xie Jinzhu's back.

For the next few days, Guan Chen has been studying with Xie Jinzhu.

What Xie Jinzhu taught was different from what Zhang Jingsheng taught Guan Chen.

Zhang Jingsheng mostly taught Guan Chen how to improve his acting skills, how to read a script, a movie, and a character from top to bottom.

And Xie Jinzhu more, is to teach Guan Chen how to mix in this industry, how to deal with people in the circle.

Guan Chen followed Xie Jinzhu and was a little surprised to see his state at work.

Because Guan Chen always thought that the big brother would be the type of good old man.After all, when Xie Jinzhu treated people and things, he was always polite, not in line with his fierce appearance, but quite in line with bluffing hobbies.The reviews are very good, and even when the staff gossip secretly, no one speaks ill of Xie Jinzhu.

However, Guan Chen saw that Xie Jinzhu sometimes had a very tough attitude when negotiating with the screenwriter and director.Tough enough that Guan Chen secretly picked up the bench several times, ready to attack.

"Actually, in this circle, when you reach a certain level, good people are not popular." Xie Jinzhu explained: "Hello, I'm good, everyone, if you fall with the lower-level staff, you are good-natured and good-natured. But if you are interested in creating If the main creators are obedient, they will be regarded as unprincipled, boring, and not paranoid about art.”

It's not easy to quarrel with good old people, but it's not easy to collide with something good.

"In fact, this phenomenon can also be used in reverse. For example, if you hold a different opinion, then go to a dispute and discuss with others, and finally pretend to be persuaded by the other party, so that the other party will be very happy and have a sense of accomplishment, which is very beneficial to the next work. development and getting along with each other." Xie Jinzhu said all of these are his experiences after crawling out of the quagmire at the bottom.

Guan Chen absorbed it attentively.I think what Teacher Xing said was right, what I learned in the crew was something I couldn't learn in the acting class.

Having only been in two production crews, Guan Chen's knowledge of the film and the team now far exceeds that of himself three months ago.

Guan Chen couldn't wait to find the third script, and wanted to put into practice what he had learned.

But he couldn't find a character that moved his heart no matter what.What I took from Xie Jinzhu was still a lot of scripts with little meaning, boring lines, empty characters, and outdated routines.

Obviously, he needs to wait.Those good scripts won't be sent to him until he has his own masterpiece.

Guan Chen felt that it would take more than half a year to wait, which is really too long.

Xie Jinzhu suggested that Guan Chen could try to write one by himself.

"Aren't you into literature? And you're so good at changing your lines, why don't you write it yourself?" Xie Jinzhu said.

"Write it yourself?" Guan Chen raised his eyebrows.He knows too well what he is, and it is almost the same for his predecessor to write, but not for him.

Xie Jinzhu asked Guan Chen: "Do you remember what I said when we first met?"

Guan Chen remembered.At that time, Xing Yan was talking about the taboo of changing lines without permission, saying that no-names should not change lines at will, and then Xie Jinzhu appeared like a movie character, walking down and saying that if you want to change lines, you can join the creative team from the beginning Put your own stamp on the script.

"If you don't like "Black Flood Dragon" [1] and [2], then you can give it a try, and write what you like in [3]." Xie Jinzhu's tone was not yin and yang, it was just a simple Suggest.

Xie Jinzhu asked: "If there is "Black Flood Dragon 3", what kind of plot do you think it will be?"

Guan Chen recalled what Li Chen had done in "Black Flood Dragon 2", then recalled the prototype character he played this role when he joined the group on the first day, and finally recalled the newly filmed Easter Egg, saying:

"Simple. Later, Chen Design got the hero's gratitude, and used the weakness of the hero's character to control the hero step by step. In the end, Chen polished the hero into the sharpest knife in his hand. But the knife If you use it too much, it will either be dull or sharp. Chen once committed a crime, and told the hero that he wanted him to commit the crime temporarily, and made an appointment to get him out. The hero agreed. But the day of execution is getting closer and closer. Chen never meant to get the hero out. Only then did the hero realize that he was betrayed."

Guan Chen touched his eyebrows and said softly, "If there is a third part, it would be better for the male protagonist to escape from prison and get revenge on the boss. Ha."
