Chapter 3: Interviews
"You have the money to buy so many books, why don't you have the money to buy food? ......" Director Zhou asked Guan Chen while browsing the dazzling books.
Guan Chen was also curious about this question, where the hell did the money go. Then in the process of rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find change, he found the answer. "I used to have a brain pump, and I used all the money to buy books and alcohol."
Guan Chen grabbed a few invoices from the ground with an angry face, and the most frequent purchases were wine, cigarettes, and books.
One of the most recent invoices is from the last week. On the reverse side of the invoice is a line of words - "We have all been shaped again and again by those who love us. As long as they stick with it a little bit, we will become their work. 】
Guan Chen couldn't read this kind of incomprehensible text, and quickly crumpled the invoice into a ball and threw it away. He turned his head and said to Director Zhou: "You can pick any of these books, and they will all be discounted by 5%. ”
The bookcase is full of books, including social sciences, literature, economics, art, philosophy, history, political science, and photography...... Guan Chen hasn't read any of them, and he doesn't bother to read them. In his eyes, these books are simply hypnotic drugs ready to go. Let him read honestly, it is better to screw his head off.
"Have you read all these books?" Director Zhou took out the books at random and found that each book he got had notes that he had read.
"If you read it all, it's nothing." Guan Chen munched on the buns and replied vaguely.
Director Zhou saw a few unopened new books, and thought that Guan Chen was strictly saying that he hadn't read the new books yet, "That's also amazing." ”
Guan Chen smiled calmly.
"Of all these books, which one is your favorite?" Director Zhou asked.
"My favorite book is always the next one."
"That's amazing." Director Zhou exclaimed and said, "You have too many books here, I don't know which one to buy, or you can recommend one for me." ”
Guan Chen subconsciously looked up and searched for the thickest and most expensive book in the bookcase.
The thickest one, it's up to you......
"I recommend this Penal Code." Guan Chen said with a serious face.
Director Zhou was surprised: "Why? ”
Where can Guan Chen say, because the thicker the book, the more expensive the price. Thinking about it carefully, he found that the Criminal Code was probably the most familiar of all the books he was familiar with.
In his previous life, Guan Chen's boss always asked them to read more books, among which the "Criminal Law" was used as an employment guidance textbook, and they had to read more. Although Guan Chen is sleepy when he reads a book, he has a strong sense of ambition, and he has to hold and read a few lines before going to bed every day, and the effect is always very good, and he often falls asleep within a few minutes.
When I see the Penal Code now, I feel intimate.
In my previous life, I used it as a career guidance textbook, but since I want to be a good citizen in this life, this book has become another kind of guidance.
Facing Director Zhou's inquiry and camera, Guan Chen's whole person suddenly sank, he thought about it and said:
"I love law because I think it's the best thing that man has ever invented. Do you know what a person is? In my eyes, man is the sum of divinity and animality; It's that he has goodness that you can't think of, and there is evil that you can't think of, there is no right or wrong, this is a person. That's why the law is very cute, no matter how good you can be, it restricts you from being so bad that you can't be evil; It knows that everyone has a little dirty thing in their hearts, and it is okay to think about it, but it is not possible to do it. The law is more like the subsistence allowance of human nature, which is a kind of compulsory cultivation. It's not like religion that requires you to be honest and tell you what it should at least look like. is also humane, and cruel and ruthless. (Note)
Director Zhou said with admiration: "That's a good point." ”
"It's good, indeed." Guan Chen smiled. Thinking back to the few seconds just now, there is a strange feeling. He just flashed the corresponding movie clip in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he memorized a large number of lines smoothly.
Guan Chen was not particularly surprised by this. When he was in junior high school, he began to mix in society, he knew how to read, he had no education, no teachers and parents to teach, everything he learned came from two places. One is society and the other is cinema.
A favorite movie, watch it over and over again more than ten times, and he won't feel tired. The lines that would make him sleepy when they fell on paper or book, but as long as they were spoken through dialogue, he could remember them firmly.
The only thing Guan Chen felt a little strange was that when he was reciting the lines just now, his mind sank to another place in a trance, which was a bit weird.
"Where did you graduate?" Director Zhou interrupted Guan Chen's musings.
The interview has already begun before you know it.
Guan Chen came back to his senses and thought about the fact that his predecessor seemed to be a cloud or something. I couldn't think of it, so I just got up and walked to the closet, leaned in and pulled for a while, and then found a graduation photo.
It reads "Yunman University" and "Department of Chinese Language and Literature".
Guan Chen read it: "Yunman University." ”
The young cameraman didn't hold back, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Yunman's! ”
Guan Chen looked at the young cameraman's expression quietly.
In Guan Chen's speculation, the predecessor was so miserable, and most of the universities were pheasant universities. However, listening to the surprise in the young cameraman's tone, he found that the truth was likely to be the opposite.
He took a closer look at the graduation photo and found that the corner of the graduation photo was printed with a few small characters in hot stamping.
[The clouds are rotten, and the clouds are many. The sun and the moon are glorious, and the sun and the moon are full of glory - "Qingyun Song"]
Hey, why are these two words so familiar...... Dan Fu? What about it? Complex...... Dawn...... Isn't this a version of Fudan University!
In his previous life, Fudan was one of the top ten universities in the country, and Guan Chen still knew more or less.
With the urine nature of the world's strong and weak west, it is likely that after blessing, the signboard of the school's name will be louder.
To pretend to be a prestigious college student...... Guan Chen felt a little weak.
"Yunman University, then it's no wonder." Director Zhou nodded suddenly, as if he felt that the remarks about the law just now were quite normal for a graduate of the literature department of a prestigious university.
"When did you first want to be an actor?" Director Zhou asked.
"Let's graduate for a while." Guan Chen didn't actually know. If Director Zhou hadn't discovered his experience from "Poetic Body", he wouldn't have known that his predecessor was an actor or had been an actor.
"Does the family support you?"
Guan Chen smiled meaningfully, leaving a lot of blank space. In fact, he didn't know if the family of his predecessor was still there, and how many were there. Because there is no predecessor mobile phone, it is impossible to judge from the address book.
Director Zhou can see that Guan Chen belongs to the kind of passive interviewee, who answers a question and almost does not take the initiative to extend it to tell. Therefore, he waited for a while, and after finding that Guan Chen stopped talking, he could only continue to ask:
"Are you still performing?"
"Probably not."
"That's right," Director Zhou looked sorry, "what about other jobs?" Is there anything you'd like to do? ”
"No job," Guan Chen replied calmly, with no inferiority complex or loss on his face, "Sell books now for some money." I haven't thought about what I'm going to do in the future. ”
In the last sentence, Guan Chen is serious. In this world, a new identity, a new living space, he felt for the first time that the thing [future], even if it is a plan, does not have to be completed, just thinking about it can give people a strength.
"Isn't it a pity?" Director Zhou asked.
Guan Chen can hear that this sentence is not a pity, referring to the fact that he was finally admitted to Yunman, and finally gave up his profession and ran to become an actor, and in the end the actor did not become an actor, which is equivalent to wasting several years of hard work in vain. Whether it's the effort to study, or the effort to learn to act.
"I'm born to be useful, I'm not in a hurry." Guan Chenyun smiled lightly, as if he was very free and easy.
When Director Zhou heard this, his face was full of expressions of "I don't know if I should say it or not", and finally said: "What you just wanted to say is [I am born with a handsome talent, and my daughter will come back after being scattered], right?" (Note 2)
"......" Guan Chen was silent for a moment, "You can just say how it was changed." ”
Director Zhou praised very face-wrenchingly: "[I was born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone] is quite catchy, and those who engage in literature are amazing." It seems that professional skills are not wasted at all. ”
Guan Chen smiled but said nothing. I don't know how many mouths I have for myself.
Let you show off, let you show off! What kind of knowledge to sell! The students of this prestigious university are inevitably too difficult to act, and if they don't pay attention, they will step on thunder.
He has made up his mind, ancient poems, proverbs and sayings, etc., it is better not to say it himself.
"Why don't you keep performing?" Director Zhou seemed to feel sorry for Guan Chen and wanted to guide Guan Chen to talk about the ups and downs.
"It's a little complicated." Guan Chen refused to say.
"If you tell the camera, you may be seen by some director, and maybe you will have another chance." Director Zhou was half-serious and half-joking.
Guan Chen waved his hand, as if there was really something unspeakable.
Director Zhou can't help it.
I couldn't ask anything new, and the interview was almost over. It's already one o'clock in the morning.
Judging from the content collected so far, although the quality is not ordinary, it has not met the expectations of Director Zhou after all. Guan Chen has always had reservations, which is really regrettable.
If you put it on the title, most of them can only make a fuss about [Yunman University graduates have fallen to such a point] to attract the audience.
Director Zhou got up and walked around in front of the bookcase, in addition to the Criminal Law, he was going to buy a few more books to go back as support.
"What is this?" Director Zhou suddenly saw a strange book. The title of the book is not written on the spine, only a large [1].
took it out, and the cover read "The First Step to Becoming an Actor".
It turns out that this is not a book, it is a notebook. Mixing in a pile of books and pretending to be a book. It was quite successful, and it almost didn't go unnoticed.
Director Zhou took a few steps back, his eyes sharpened through the bookcases, and soon found the one marked [2]. Take it out, and unsurprisingly, the cover reads [The second step to becoming an actor]. According to the law, there should be a third, fourth, and fifth step after that.
Director Zhou had a hunch that Guan Chen's reasons for refusing to say that he gave up the performance should all be in these notes. He wanted to open it and look at it, but he had a clear conscience and knew that it was immoral to open it and peek at other people's privacy without permission.
"Can you take a look at this?" Director Zhou asked.
Guan Chen was sorting out the newspaper he picked up today, and when he heard the inquiry, he turned his head to see that Director Zhou was holding the book in the bookcase, so he waved his hand indifferently: "Look at it." ”
Director Zhou and the young cameraman glanced at each other, and the latter immediately turned on the lens again.
