Actors have no vacation

Chapter 225 Annual Meeting ([-] in [-])

Last time because of the meeting, "Living Alone" missed Guan Chen's birthday.Afterwards, Director Zhou saw the group building activity of "hunting and killing Manager Qian" on the Internet, and was very annoyed that it was not photographed.

But that meeting was too important to be pushed aside.

That meeting was to determine the editing ideas of the show and the set of guests.distressing.Just because the program's orientation is to show the life of an artist who lives alone, Yin Shu and Pan Xu are not bad. These two are really showing the appearance of an artist who lives alone. Only Guan Chenwen is off topic and is keen to connect with other people. , often inexplicably filming personal programs to give the effect of a group show. All the people around him are the same as those who came out of the comedian training camp, making it difficult for the program team to choose. It’s a pity to cut it. It was as if I was filming another variety show alone, and the content was split before and after.

In the end, Director Zhou persuaded the leaders to reduce interference in Guan Chen's creation and let him play freely, even if the program was separated before and after, he would be partial.The reason is very simple. There are only two kinds of people who can quickly conquer the audience in the field of art. One is unique, and the other is master.And Guan Chen, don't be too open-hearted.There is no such actor anywhere in the world. He has a unique temperament on the screen, and is unpredictable in private. Every time it is unexpected, he can even make the reality more exciting than the movie.Restricting Guan Chen is equivalent to restricting the upper limit of the program.

The leader asked Director Zhou to say something human.Zhou Dao said: Since Guan Chen is a thigh, what's the harm in putting on a variety show for the thigh alone.

The leader said yes, and then in order to hold his thighs tighter, the premiere date was set the day after the announcement of the shortlist for the Golden Bull Awards.If Guan Chen is successfully shortlisted, the program will be broadcast next, which can maximize revenue.

The shortlist is announced at [-]pm.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Director Zhou brought his team and equipment to record this important moment of Guan Chen.

They followed the address and came to a restaurant.As soon as I got out of the car, I found myself stepping on the red carpet.

The red carpet stretched from the roadside to the restaurant door, with some petals scattered on it.This made Director Zhou and the others hesitant to take a step, and subconsciously ran to the cement floor and rubbed the soles of their shoes.

At the end of the red carpet, Xie Jinzhu stood festively dressed like an official, revealing his black chest hair. He didn't feel the cold at all. He held each guest's hand enthusiastically, and he could see his face through the sunglasses. radiant.

Director Zhou hurriedly asked his subordinates: "Xie Jinzhu is getting married today?"

"I didn't hear that he had a girlfriend!" "I didn't hear that he had a boyfriend!" "I didn't hear that he had a friend..."

Everyone felt sudden, even abrupt.

Although Xie Jinzhu is doing weddings, but just like the most professional drug dealers will not touch fans, everyone also believes that Xie Jinzhu will be single for life.

Now suddenly getting married, everyone has a kind of 'has he been floating recently? 'thought.

In the past, the news of Xie Jinzhu's marriage was estimated that few newspapers were willing to waste space; but now it is different. Brothers are expensive, and the news of Xie Jinzhu's marriage can barely be sold for 50 yuan to entertainment reporters.

Just when Director Zhou and the others couldn't make up much money and were thinking about whether to break it into pieces, Xie Jinzhu discovered them.

"Chen is almost here, he has already left from the airport, it's almost half an hour away." Xie Jinzhu said as he walked over, followed by a quiet woman.

Director Zhou was not sure whether this woman was a bride or a bridesmaid. Xie Jinzhu took the initiative to introduce it as an entertainment reporter, "Exclusive interview, follow me for a day."

"Black Flood Dragon 2" was a big hit at the box office. Xie Jinzhu was rejuvenated, and his experience was valuable. It was not surprising that he was invited for an in-depth interview.

Director Zhou heard someone sigh regretfully behind him, turned his head and glared at the subordinate quietly, and at the same time beckoned everyone to turn on the shooting equipment, ready to collect some materials before Guan Chen arrived.

"It's well laid out here." Director Zhou said, looking at the stone lion with red embroidery hanging on the door.

Looking into the restaurant, I can vaguely see a group of people arranging the sound, lighting and stage art inside.

Xie Jinzhu said helplessly, he just said to make it a little more festive at the beginning, but the people in their studio only know how to get married, so it looks like seven or eight couples are planning to get married at the same time, and they are different dynasties, different countries, different customary.

Xie Jinzhu made a reservation for the restaurant, and the package was from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., but the staff in the studio were more subjective and appeared outside the restaurant at noon. A dozen people wearing safety helmets stopped at the door. Point at the restaurant, write and draw.The customers inside thought that the demolition team was coming, and felt very terrified. They quickly finished eating and fled the restaurant. (According to the restaurant owner, what is even more frightening is that these people are vaguely dressed in gray and blue clothes like prisoners.) It didn't take long for the restaurant to be cleared.The restaurant owner had to put them in two hours in advance to set up the scene.

Director Zhou was in awe, as expected of the person who came out of [Xie Jinzhu Studio (Comedian Training Camp)]!
Xie Jinzhu said, fortunately today, in addition to celebrating Guan Chen's shortlist, there is also an annual meeting of the company. The scene is made like this.

Director Zhou asked Xie Jinzhu, "How likely is Guan Chen to be shortlisted tonight?"

Xie Jinzhu answered cautiously: "90.00% nine."

Director Zhou looked at the entertainment reporter next to him, and asked Xie Jinzhu if he needed to answer again with his eyes.

Xie Jinzhu said no: "Sometimes being shortlisted or winning is actually a recognition of an actor's good performance in a certain role, which is limited. In "Police Story" alone, Chen's Wu Ze, if not just debuted, can only be awarded For the Rookie Award, I think it's okay to be nominated for [Best Actor/Supporting Actor]."

Director Zhou thought this would be too exaggerated.Although Xie Jinzhu's setting was to dote on Guan Chen without bottom line when recording the observation room in the later stage, but now that such a big tree attracts wind, he will definitely be criticized by others.

However, Xie Jinzhu laughed wildly and didn't care.

He said that the pleasure of filming sometimes stems from the tacit understanding of cooperating with others.Opponent plays especially need tacit understanding. Professional actors can refer to each other. After knowing each other's skills and styles, they can adjust the frequency accordingly.

"But filming with Chen, how do I put it, it feels like playing against an amateur - this doesn't mean that he has no acting skills, but that he is right in everything he does. Because an actor uses his acting skills to turn the fake into the real, the amateur is just himself. Ah Chen's performance is like this. No matter where his eyes look or how he poses, you will feel right. Harmonious and comfortable. Playing with him will destroy the confidence of professional actors."

Xie Jinzhu gave an example. The veteran actors in "Black Dragon 2" are not to mention old actors, but they also have more than 20 to [-] years of acting experience. Skills, various lines, but even if Guan Chen just sits there in a daze, his emotions can go very deep, and the audience can only see him and resonate with him.

"The richness of the performance does not lie in the details and movements, but in the true feelings." Xie Jinzhu sighed as if proud and sighed.

Skills are important, but there are always things in the world that skills cannot achieve.

"But..." The entertainment reporter asked a question, saying that he had seen "Black Flood Dragon 2", but had not seen these plots, and even there were very few scenes of Guan Chen playing with people.

Xie Jinzhu twitched the corners of his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and revealed: "I won't say who it is - the old actor who played with Chen broke down in the middle of the performance and just hid, no matter how much the director shouted, he couldn't call out, so Those scenes had to be taken away."

Director Zhou sighed.The last time I recorded a show and filmed Guan Chen for a day, all the pictures were of the other party being out of tune. Now listening to Xie Jinzhu talking about this, I can feel Guan Chen's tyranny in professional ability from the side. This is another side that I have never seen before.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I don't have this feeling alone." Xie Jinzhu used Zhang Jingsheng's interview as proof, and Zhang Jingsheng also admitted that he "felt terrible" when playing with Guan Chen.That kind of horror is not only a praise for Guan Chen's acting skills, but also the emotion of being walked on the road that he has worked so hard to climb for a few days.

This road is the road of acting and the road of actor development.

In the film and television industry, becoming a producer is a more common way to go up than acting and directing, and it has an earlier and deeper impact on the film.

In the "Black Flood Dragon" series, Guan Chen gained the authority of the producer early in just a few shots.As for the "Speed" racing crime series, the two leading actors first secured the box office, and then their right to speak gradually increased, and finally both became producers to participate in project decision-making.

"The personal temperament of an actor can characterize the story. If the villain in the third film is played by another person, the play will change." Xie Jinzhu said, "And Chen's role has long been the same as the producer."

In the second part, Guan Chen, as a "criminal consultant", put forward many realistic suggestions for the crime-related plots in the film, which really affected the direction of the story and enhanced its richness and rationality; Dao's decision-making, setting the tone of the film's atmosphere - this is actually already doing the work of executive producer.A movie, the atmosphere is right, the world view is defined, the characters and events in it can be established.Therefore, Guan Chen and Wu Guan Chen will be two kinds of movies.

"In "Black Flood Dragon 3", Chen will have more room to play. At that time, you can see that he can also shine against the old actors, and his performance is outrageous." Xie Jinzhu took advantage of the opportunity to chat about "Black Dragon". Regarding the progress of the Jiaolong 3 project, Guan Chen said that Guan Chen did his best. In order to make a good plot, he had to study criminal law every day. Last week, he went to the capital to find talents.Xie Jinzhu finally shared a little anecdote: "Chen also joked with me that he was going to find some real gangsters to act, hahahaha~"

Director Zhou also laughed, feeling that "Living Alone" was really lucky to be able to witness the whole process of Guan Chen's rise to power.Even if his peers ridicule him for not being able to shoot any show without Guan Chen in the future, he still has to hug his thighs and stay firmly rooted in his comfort zone.

Thinking of this, Director Zhou had a faint sense of being an agent, and was a little worried: "Guan Chen's current roles are all villains, and in "Black Flood Dragon 3", he will play the villain again. Will playing the villain all the time be stereotyped?"

"What happened to the villain?" Xie Jinzhu raised his eyebrows behind his sunglasses.He has been a villain professional for more than ten years, and obviously does not think that acting as a villain is a bad thing.There are good people and bad people in this world, and the world of movies is the same.

Xie Jinzhu even said: "Not everyone can play the villain well."

Director Zhou and the reporter waited to see how hard Xie Jinzhu was.

Xie Jinzhu said: "Only a good person can play a bad person. An excellent villain often represents a certain side of the protagonist, and is the self that the protagonist does not dare to face under the subconscious iceberg. The path chosen by the villain is likely to be the protagonist's stand. The fork in the road has hesitated; the reverse is also the same, the path chosen by the protagonist is also the path chosen by the villain. In the play, they are a kind of mirror image. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the decent way, go to Understand the villain. A bad person is also a person first. He will not write bad words on his face when he is born. As an actor, we cannot define him or look at him with tinted glasses. In life, actors who are good people play, he The background and perspective can give the villain complexity and depth. The wonderful confrontation between good and evil is essentially the process of killing yourself."

Director Zhou and the others were shocked, but they didn't expect that Xie Jinzhu would actually make a point.

Look down on this villain professional.

But Zhou Dao faintly felt that when Xie Jinzhu went around in such a big circle, he actually wanted to say that he and Guan Chen could play the villain so wonderfully because they were so good.

"It makes sense." Director Zhou nodded, and then asked, "What about the villain who was born with an antisocial personality? Is this theory also suitable?"

"Those who are born evil are not bad people, but monsters. Monsters have no humanity, they are the opposite of civilization. However, seeing how animal nature is affected by human nature is the good part of the story." Xie Jinzhu started propaganda again: " In "Key to Destiny", Chen played such a beastly killer. He acted very well! The story is also beautiful!"

Xie Jinzhu proudly revealed that he and Guan Chen also cooperated in this film, and they have a lot of scenes, and even their teacher Xing Yan. This is the first time in the history of their Xing family class. It will be released during the Spring Festival. Everyone must remember go to see.

When Director Zhou heard the Xing family class, he was about to ask a few more questions about the other legendary talented [Guan Chen-level] juniors and juniors, but suddenly there was a commotion behind him. The person who was in the air, was sloppy, stepped on the red carpet and walked over.

Zhou Dao thought that someone came to smash the scene or collect protection fees, but Xie Jinzhu said that it was a non-staff of the studio.Some of them are cross talk actors, some are two-person actors, some Sichuan opera actors, troupe musicians, and hosts.

Today is the annual meeting, so those who are attached to the studio are also called to participate.Although they don't take five insurances and one housing fund, they usually take wedding performances in the studio, and they can be considered to have overcome poverty together. Now that the studio is developed, it is an opportunity for them. You can't follow chickens and dogs to the sky.

Sure enough, as soon as they saw the camera next to Director Zhou, the gang's eyes flashed green, and the hyenas came close to them as if they were hunting.Some of them started speaking tongue twisters on the spot halfway through the red carpet, some began to sing loudly, and some fell to the ground after taking two steps, rolled forward and stood up majestic... The scene suddenly became too noisy.

Xie Jinzhu hurried up like a kindergarten teacher, went up and arranged people to sit in specific positions.

Zhou Dao originally wanted to follow him into the restaurant, but with him and his camera around, the group couldn't calm down at all, and they even played hide-and-seek with Xie Jinzhu excitedly.Xie Jinzhu had to leave Director Zhou outside to wait for Guan Chen, and let others come over to entertain:
"Old money!"

Manager Qian responded in a distant voice.

"Manager Qian?" Director Zhou and the others followed the voice, found a fat man sitting on the ground holding a computer and didn't know what he was doing, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Manager Qian raised his head numbly and said that he was basking in the sun, and that he was "showing my chills." He said that he was already busy enough with his work, but now he still has to give the [Personal Advancement Award] and [Diligence Award for Reading Books] to those Lao Shizi. ] Calculate the scoring rate and the corresponding bonuses, and make custom trophies with the employee's name engraved... While talking, he dragged the touchpad with his short fat fingers with difficulty, as if he was busy. .

Director Zhou and the others exchanged thoughts with each other with their eyes:

'Manager Qian doesn't fit in with the group again. He really doesn't know how to mix in the workplace. '

'Haha, I'm pretending to be in front of the camera again, it's really the same as what Brother Chen said. '

'It must be because he usually doesn't work hard, and now that everyone is playing, he just started rushing homework. '

"As you can see, I'm busy with work, so I can't entertain now." Manager Qian pointed in a direction with the end of his hair and said, "Today Guan Chen's agent is here too, so let's talk to him."

"Guan Chen's manager?" Director Zhou was shocked, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Manager Qian resolutely said: "Yes! A real broker!"

Everyone in the world thinks that Guan Chen's manager is Manager Qian, and even Director Zhou thinks so - when a variety show is in post-production, the artist's team needs to keep in touch with the show team to ensure that sensitive screen topics, characters, outsiders are avoided. In terms of image... some artist teams will even send a retoucher directly to beautify them frame by frame.On Guan Chen's side, it is Manager Qian who connects the big and small matters with the program team. Regarding Guan Chen's image control, he often puts forward "it doesn't matter, he doesn't want an image anyway", "restore his true face", "don't contact him if it's all right" I'm here, you can cut it at will, I'll go back to work first"... and a series of suggestions that seem to give up, but are actually oppressive, have caused the program team to hold meetings many times.

However, now it is said that Guan Chen's agent is someone else?

Zhou Dao followed Manager Qian's hair and saw a young man with silver hair sitting on the steps outside, smoking a decadent cigarette.

Turn your head.

"It's him." Manager Qian firmly affirmed, and said, "Xing Yun is relatively low-key and doesn't like others to praise him for taking Guan Chen well. Because if an agent only brings out one star, it means luck. Human ability doesn't matter. So he won't admit that he is Guan Chen's manager until other actors get up."

Manager Qian told Director Zhou not to mention Guan Chen and not to stimulate the young and proud agent.

Director Zhou got the request, turned his head back, and walked cautiously towards the silver-haired youth with the camera.

Approaching, only to find a row of young people sitting on the lower steps in front of the silver-haired youth Xing Yun.

According to Manager Qian, those people were other actors brought by Xing Yun, who, like Guan Chen, came out of the [Xing Yan Performance Training Course].The year-end drama of this year's performance class ended not long ago. Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu were the signboards and went to many agents to select seedlings.However, there are still quite a number of students who have filled in Xie Jinzhu's studio as if they were volunteers.In previous years, no one came at all, but this year it became a popular one.Only because of [Xingjiaban].

Seeing the camera coming over, several new actors were very excited.But in general, they still maintained the demeanor of the actors, and did not make a move to sing or flop in public.

Xing Yun exhaled a cigarette to calm everyone down: "When you debut in a variety show, you are a variety artist."

Some of the newcomers covered their faces; pulled up their collars and covered their faces; some squatted down and buried their faces in their legs... all of them were just like the captured prostitutes.

Director Zhou smiled: "Guan Chen debuted on my first variety show. Strictly speaking, Guan Chen was discovered by me. Without his performance in variety shows, Huang Jin wouldn't recommend him. "Police Story" audition."

The rookie actors were immediately ready to move again.

Xing Yun said unhurriedly: "You are not Guan Chen. If you can't learn, don't learn."

Looking at the depressed young people, Zhou Dao couldn't bear it anymore and comforted: "You will walk your own way, it is not impossible to surpass Guan Chen."

The young man was a little excited, but Xing Yun frowned: "Don't say such things to my artist."

"Ah..." Director Zhou was a little embarrassed.

Xing Yun took a deep breath of cigarette, then slowly said:

Everyone in the world knows the horse expert Bole's ability, and also knows that Bole does not often have it. In ancient times, people often wanted to learn horse skills from Bole. However, Bole was a bit tricky and only taught the people he liked to identify inferior horses, but taught his enemies. How to identify Maxima.Because low-grade horses can be found every day, after excluding low-grade horses, there are middle-grade horses and top-grade horses; while maximal horses may be hard to find for life.The former can make money every day, but the enemy may not make much money in a lifetime.

Xing Yun said that he only needs to know how to identify "lower horses".A Maxima like Guan Chen has nothing to do with him.The encouragement that Director Zhou just gave was to give the "medium horses" an illusion of becoming a "maximum horse", which would destroy them.

God chatting here, in fact, has not been able to talk anymore.

Director Zhou was a little puzzled, is this silver-haired brother really Guan Chen's manager?It's completely different from Brother Chen's approachable painting style!

Fortunately, at this time, Guan Chen finally arrived.

When Guan Chen passed by, he walked straight towards Xing Yun.

Director Zhou quickly greeted him with the camera.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Guan Chen did when he found Xing Yun was to gossip.

"I heard that an actor who prostituted himself into the bureau is likely to be finished when he comes out." Guan Chen sighed to Xing Yun.

Xing Yun sneered.

"Not professional." Guan Chen commented.I don't know if I'm talking about the actor or the broker who delivers the food.

Director Zhou nodded in agreement. An actor who has disappointed fans is indeed unprofessional.

Xing Yun squinted at Guan Chen: "Tell me, what are you looking for?"

Guan Chen asked: "So, the staff of the actor studio are going to find another home?"

Xing Yun said: "The powerful ones should be found by now."

Those who can follow the actors to open their own studios are always supported by a few senior people.Even Xie Jinzhu would have a Qian Liangyi.

"The one that can support the [Hsinchu] bamboo on its back is the root deep in the earth. The more lush the bamboo of [Hsinchu], the more the roots have to go underground." Guan Chen patted Xing Yun's shoulder ,ask:

"Is there a director in your takeaway list?"
