Chapter 18: Part-time job (Thanks to the alliance leader for the reward!) )
Seeing an inexplicable uncle suddenly jump out and pretend to be very powerful, Guan Chen was a little confused. When I'm old, I still come to learn acting...... Could it be that he was fired from his job?
But after noticing the longing eyes of several students when they looked at the middle-aged uncle, and then thinking back to the "advertisement" that Xiao Xiong said not long ago, Guan Chen quickly analyzed that the person in front of him was probably the so-called senior brother.
Already a successful actor? No wonder the homeless temperament is so obvious. Guan Chen looked at Xie Jinzhu deeply.
Xie Jinzhu, who noticed that he was being watched by Guan Chen, walked to the open space in the front row and sat down cross-legged. He had just done dozens of push-ups outside the classroom, so the muscles in his upper body were very tight, and the whole person looked very masculine, very heroic, and very difficult to mess with.
[How?] My "big brother" for more than ten years has not acted in vain! Xie Jinzhu confidently bared his eight teeth, feeling that he had left a deep impression on Guan Chen.
[Bluffing.] Guan Chen commented in his heart.
In his previous life, he saw a lot of such people, and after watching a few gangster movies, he felt that he was as chic and powerful as the protagonist. Such people often fall to the ground and cry and beg for mercy when they punch down, and the fight is very boring.
Guan Chen withdrew his gaze from the other party's clean hands and looked at Xing Yan, who was still in class.
"Yes, at the beginning of a project, joining the creative team allows you to revise your lines." Xing Yan said to everyone: "This is not sarcasm. I really encourage people to get involved. There are several famous directors in the circle, who were just an actor at first, and then they had ideas about their lines and wanted to change them, and then they not only wanted to change their own lines, but also wanted to change other actors. In the end, he simply became a director, writing, directing, and acting by himself. ”
Xiao Xiong looked at Guan Chen in shock, as if he saw his ambition.
The corners of Guan Chen's mouth twitched. If it's the predecessor, it's still possible, but even if he cares, he has a clear enough understanding of himself, even if Xiaoxiong wins the actress, he can't write a script and become a director.
The two got off the stage and returned to their positions, watched the students from other groups perform on stage, and then listened to Xing Yan's comments.
Time passed little by little, and it was soon time for school to end at noon.
"That's all for today's lesson, don't forget to observe more life when you go back......"
Xing Yan was still talking there, and Xiao Xiong had already waved to Guan Chen with his satchel on his back, ready to go to work.
Guan Chen looked at the back of the bear and was very envious, not knowing when he would be able to work three jobs one day.
Although, according to Xiao Xiong, if he wants to work part-time, some of them are easy and effortless part-time jobs.
But what are those jobs? It is to make up classes for high school students, to be a tutor for junior high school students, to write advertorials, and to write fragmentary copywriting on the Internet.
These Guan Chen can't do anything.
For this reason, I have to explain to the bear that he is too weak and wants to do something that can be exercised by the way.
But what Guan Chen never expected was that Yunman's university degree was not only useless, but even became a stumbling block for him.
The managers of those fruit shops, convenience stores, and restaurants, as soon as they heard that he graduated from a prestigious school, doubted the authenticity of it, and felt that he was not honest and cheating. When it was confirmed that it was true, he was surprised again, and then hesitated, and then refused.
They either decided that Guan Chen's action had another purpose, or that he would definitely not be able to do it for long, so there was no need to waste any more time. A few store managers agreed, but Guan Chen saw in their eyes something like, "What about graduating from a prestigious school?" It's so miserable, it's not obediently working for me", and the ridicule of eagerness to try, I will not accompany you.
Guan Chen didn't want to work in the same place as Xiaoxiong, and he really didn't want to see her again on weekdays after seeing her on weekends, feeling that if he stayed with her for a long time, his intelligence would drop to a place lower than his previous life, which was particularly dangerous.
So he thought about asking Xing Yan after class today, if he had any part-time jobs to recommend.
However, without waiting for Guan Chen to find Xing Yan, Xing Yan found him first.
"Guan Chen, stay for a while." Xing Yan called Guan Chen in terms that were very much in line with educators.
Guan Chen almost ran away reflexively.
It's a pity that a few students came over and surrounded Guan Chen. They wanted to exchange contact information with Guan Chen, but Guan Chen calmed down and did not refuse, after all, they were all friends who could borrow money in the future.
After sending off those reserve friends, only Guan Chen, Xing Yan and Xie Jinzhu were left in the entire classroom.
Guan Chen didn't know Xie Jinzhu's role here, whether it was to avoid letting people outside misunderstand what kind of PY trading they were engaged in, or because what he was going to say next was related to him.
Xing Yan asked Guan Chen: "Do you remember what you said last week?" ”
Guan Chen certainly remembers that last week Xing Yan proposed a deal to teach him to perform for free, and took him into the circle to find him a formal performance opportunity, and correspondingly, he wanted to be used as a signboard advertisement for the acting class.
He's here today for his second lesson, which means he's agreed to the deal.
"This is your senior brother, my first batch of students, who has been acting for more than ten years." Xing Yan briefly introduced Xie Jinzhu's situation, and then got straight to the point: "I called him here a few days ago, and I was originally going to let him take you." ”
Guan Chen was a little surprised. It turns out that this old man who became famous at a young age but later had countless bad movies is really not bragging.
After Xing Yan introduced Xie Jinzhu, he handed over the rest of the conversation to him.
Xie Jinzhu said: "But we didn't expect you to record a variety show before, so the situation is different now." There are some things that need to be made clear to you. ”
Guan Chen nodded.
"According to the popularity and your performance on the show, there will definitely be other companies that want to sign you. There may also be large companies among them. Xie Jinzhu said.
Although Xie Jinzhu wanted to sign Guan Chen for his studio, he knew that with Guan Chen's talent, signing him into the studio was tantamount to cheating him. Moreover, if Guan Chen didn't choose to come in by himself, then even if he was tricked in temporarily, he would make trouble when he found out that he had been trapped. That's more troublesome.
So Xie Jinzhu chose to spread things out and said: "Large companies are rich in resources, have a wide range of contacts, and the team is also very capable. It's just that the contract period is relatively long, five years and ten years, and the style is more mature, and the actor's degree of freedom will be correspondingly less. ”
That's a bit of a hassle. Guan Chen muttered in his heart.
For acting, he originally held the mentality of "try it to see if you like it", and acted in one film first, and the future would not be so far ahead. signed a contract with a large company, was promised to spend months or even years on training, and then was recommended to as many directors as possible, and became famous step by step. Ordinary actors must be ecstatic when they hear it, but this is not attractive to Guan Chen at all.
Guan Chen asked almost without hesitation: "What about the small company?" ”
Xie Jinzhu was stunned for a moment and replied: "On the contrary, small companies have few resources, lack of experience in successfully operating artists, and have few team run-ins, and occasionally rely on foreign aid, so the ability to resist risks is low, but the degree of freedom is high, if the number of artists is small, the resources will be more concentrated." ”
Guan Chen still looked disgusted. I feel that signing with a small company will also be troublesome.
"Don't sign it for now." Guan Chen said.
"Don't sign? Why? Xie Jinzhu was very surprised, and hurriedly persuaded: "If you don't take advantage of the situation to debut, then the popularity you have now will be lost all of a sudden!" ”
"I feel like I still need to learn, if I sign now...... It's not worth it. And I'm an actor, I just want to make my debut by acting. "Guan Chen has many reasons.
Xie Jinzhu listened to it.
[This little junior brother...... It's not good to be ambitious at all! For fame and fortune, it is very clear! And he really likes acting, he is a very pure actor! 】
Xie Jinzhu felt that his judgment was really not wrong, the little junior brother was really a very good and perfect junior brother.
Xie Jinzhu felt that as a senior brother, he had to take on the responsibilities of a senior brother.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find some suitable auditions." Xie Jinzhu pointed at himself with his thumb arrogantly.
Guan Chen thought to himself, this person is bluffing again.
"If it's okay...... Guan Chen turned his head to Xing Yan, who had not spoken, and said, "Is there anything you can recommend for my part-time job?" At the end, he quickly added, "It's better to be able to move around more, I want to exercise my strength." ”
"Part-time?" Xing Yan thought for a while and asked, "Is it okay to do chores?" Running errands? ”
"Everything." Guan Chen nodded.
Xie Jinzhu suddenly said: "I have a part-time job here that integrates errands and will help you in the future. ”
Guan Chen and Xing Yan both looked at him.
"Assistant." Xie Jinzhu said, "My studio has just opened, and now I lack an assistant by my side. When I'm an assistant, you can follow me to the crew to see how the crew works and see the performances of the other actors. Follow me to run around, follow variety shows and interviews, you can also understand the circle in advance, which will be good for you in the future. ”
