Chapter 22: An Actor's Day

At ten o'clock, the employees arrived at the studio one after another.

Guan Chen didn't know what these people were doing, but he knew that these people must be his subordinates.

As for the one who wears glasses, Guan Chen estimates that he is a general manager or something, and he should also be a cadre, but his level should be lower than himself. Otherwise, the other party would not be so angry when he heard about his position as an airborne assistant.

The glasses man who was suspected of being the general manager pinched the disposable cup and looked at it with undisguised angry eyes, Guan Chen's heart was calm, he had expected this.

An airborne soldier suddenly came out and grabbed the right to take his position, and it is normal for the man with glasses, as an old employee with old qualifications, to be angry and angry.

[According to the development of television, there should be some factional struggles next. Guan Chen predicted.

In his previous life, the big boss also arranged airborne troops and wanted to share the boss's power. But in the end, it was all done by the boss openly and secretly.

Guan Chen was a little eager to try, curious about what the factional struggle was like for serious work.

It's a pity that he doesn't seem to have much chance to play against the general manager today.

After Xie Jinzhu greeted the staff, he called Guan Chen to go out with him.

"Where are you going?" Guan Chen asked him.

"Today, I'll take you to see how the actors spend their day when they're not working." Xie Jinzhu replied.

One minute on stage, ten years off stage. The actor's kung fu is important in ordinary times.

If you want to be a good actor, you must develop some good habits.

The profession of an artist can walk the road that most people can't finish in a lifetime, but when the speed is fast, it will inevitably float up, and it is easy to deviate from the track when the external force touches it.

In the past, those juniors and disciples regrettably ran the wrong way, or overturned the car, or stopped, Xie Jinzhu didn't want Guan Chen to follow the old path of these juniors.

Xie Jinzhu has high expectations for Guan Chen, and hopes that Guan Chen will not waste his talents. So on the first day of taking Guan Chen today, he wanted Guan Chen to see what an actor should be like when he is not working before entering the industry.

Get out of the street and come to a car.

"You have a driver's license, right?" Xie Jinzhu handed the car key to Guan Chen and wanted him to drive it.

"I think there is."

"Wait, what do you mean there seems to be?" Xie Jinzhu hurriedly called Guan Chen.

"Yes." Guan Chen nodded.

Xie Jinzhu was suspicious, and turned around and sat in the co-pilot.

Guan Chen got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and started the car eagerly, wanting to try what it was like to run a domestic car in this world.

After a few seconds of getting started, the speed of the car soars faster and faster.

"Wait, wait, slow down!" Xie Jinzhu hurriedly crossed his hands on his chest, and did the cushioning action of the passengers in the plane crash.

"I'm slow enough." Guan Chen glanced at the dashboard and continued to accelerate.

"Overspeeding - going to overdrive!!"

"It's okay, I'm watching, I'll slow down when it's almost in the monitoring range." Guan Chen's eyesight is very good, and finding the monitor is as simple as going home to find water to drink.

When there was no speed monitoring in the distance, he slammed on the accelerator, overtook a car, and when he was almost within the speed range, he slowed down slightly and drove past the speed limit line.

Xie Jinzhu kept changing his sitting posture in horror, he didn't expect Guan Chen to look so fierce in the car, he really couldn't bear to do it as an old man.

"Parking ......"

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu got out of the car and changed positions.

Xie Jinzhu held the steering wheel, feeling safe like never before, and he took the opportunity to teach Guan Chen to advise:

"If the car hits it, it's not as simple as losing money. No matter how small the scratch is, it is a scandal for us artists, which will affect the image, and in serious cases, we will lose our jobs. Therefore, celebrities generally do not drive easily and let others drive. Even if you want to drive it yourself, you must be very careful. ”

Guan Chen's eyes lit up: "So, if you accidentally bump into a celebrity, can you take the opportunity to extort a lot of money?" ”

"What are you thinking?" Xie Jinzhu was taken aback.

"I'll just talk about it." Guan Chen waved his hand, looked at the slow scenery outside the window, and yawned.

As if frightened by Guan Chen's words, Xie Jinzhu steadily pressed the speed of the car at twenty yards, holding the steering wheel with both hands, for fear that the car in front of him would suddenly stop and jump out to slander him.

The car behind was urging wildly, but Xie Jinzhu was unmoved, and resolutely moved forward at his own pace.

Some drivers couldn't stand the turtle speed, overtook to a parallel position and wanted to scold Xie Jinzhu for a few words, but when he saw Xie Jinzhu's fierce expression, he immediately stopped and drove away obediently.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at its destination.

It is a fitness center.

Guan Chen became excited as soon as he saw the signboard, and without waiting for the car to find a location, he opened the car door and went down: "I'll get out of the car first." You go find a place to stop. ”

"Ahh Xie Jinzhu nodded stunned.

Xie Jinzhu found a parking space in the parking lot, reviewed the side parking, and parked the car with great difficulty. When I lock the car door, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't remember it.

The fitness center is large, with different functions and areas on each floor.

Xie Jinzhu took Guan Chen to the floor where anaerobic training was taking place, and locked the things in the locker.

"Although acting is a mental exertion, physical strength is also very important. Sometimes when encountering a strict director, he often has to repeat an action or expression several times or a dozen times, and if he does not have physical strength, he will not be able to guarantee the accuracy of his expression. ”

Xie Jinzhu emphasized the importance of physical strength for performance, while taking off his coat and showing a strong figure, saying: "And with a good body, you can avoid getting sick in a high-pressure environment and not delay the filming progress." ”

"Wow." Guan Chen exclaimed.

Xie Jinzhu was secretly proud, quietly tensed his muscles, picked up the dumbbells, and slammed them. "How? It was because of this figure that I was chosen for an action movie in the first place. Sometimes the pressure is high, and a vigorous exercise can effectively decompress......"

As he spoke, there was no sound behind him. Xie Jinzhu turned his head to see that Guan Chen ran to the boxing area at some point, and was touching the sandbag while exclaiming.

Xie Jinzhu hurriedly put down the dumbbells, walked over, and ostentatiously, "Drink!" "Drink! He threw a set of punches at the sandbag and said, "I practiced specifically for action movies." What do you think? I can teach you if you want to learn. ”

Guan Chen pursed his lips, and the meaning of disgust was particularly obvious. Xie Jinzhu wants to teach him boxing, just as unrealistic as someone wants to make braised pork with Peppa Pig.

He saw that Xie Jinzhu's steps were vain and he was a showman. I don't know where this guy got the courage to teach others.

"I'll get you a card, and I'll practice with me in the future!" Xie Jinzhu patted Guan Chen's shoulder, thinking that he was too thin.

Guan Chen felt that although the senior brother liked to bluff, he still had a good heart. In the future, if Xie Jinzhu wants to practice with him without knowing whether he is alive or dead, he may consider whether to show mercy to his subordinates.

"Start practicing today?" Guan Chen asked.

"We don't have a change of clothes, and we'll have to go somewhere else in the afternoon." Xie Jinzhu shook his head, he just took him to recognize the way today. "I'll practice again tomorrow."

Guan Chen nodded.

The fitness center is huge. Xie Jinzhu took Guan Chen for a walk from top to bottom, there are swimming pools, yoga rooms, classrooms for several dances, spinning bike rooms, octagonal cages, climbing walls, archery ranges, indoor basketball courts, football fields......

"Why is there no table tennis table, no billiard hall?" Guan Chen couldn't help but ask.

"It's too niche, and there aren't many people playing, so it shouldn't be there." Xie Jinzhu replied.

Guan Chen was very sad. These two good sports, which he worked after skipping class in his childhood, have no room to play in this world.

Out of the fitness center, they had a meal, and then Xie Jinzhu drove Guan Chen to the next destination.

It is a large bookstore.

Guan Chen walked in and saw so many books, as if he had been attacked by spiritual skills, and felt tired immediately.

"Actors want to precipitate themselves, and reading is the best way." Xie Jinzhu said, "We actors can observe people no matter how much we can observe, but for other people's lives, what we can get is very limited." So it's important to read, especially novels. Reading novels is equivalent to gaining other people's life experiences. ”

Guan Chen felt that this was the same as what Yang Dechang said in the movie in his previous life, "After the invention of movies, human life has been extended by at least three times. Similarly, I asked, "Isn't it good to have comics if you want to gain life experience?" Isn't it okay to make movies? ”

"Yes, yes, but the words are different." Xie Jinzhu stroked the spine of the book and said: "I didn't like to read before, so Mr. Xing told me that if you want to be a good actor, you must develop the habit of reading, especially novels. Because words and language are not intuitive, every reader can only enjoy the world of fiction by imagining. Reading novels cultivates your own imagination. ”

"So actors should read more novels?" Guan Chen was thoughtful.

Xie Jinzhu suddenly waved his hand: "I almost forgot that you graduated from Yunman, this kind of talk is too pediatric for you." ”

"Whereever, not pediatric at all, I'm interested." Guan Chen continued the topic: "And then? You don't like to read, how did you end up reading books? ”

Guan Chen's voice was a little urgent.

"According to Mr. Xing's suggestion, he asked me to pick out stories to read first, and then read more, cultivating my own aesthetics and taste, and I knew how to find books to read. Of course, this advice is for newbies like me, not for you. ”

It's just a perfect fit, okay! Guan Chen shouted in his heart.

Although he is following the path of his predecessor, he has been feeling the difficulty for more than a week. He read according to the [Become an Actor] series of notebooks, let alone taking the first step, he didn't even put on his shoes.

I decided to read the book, and after a week, I didn't finish a single one.

Now listening to the words of Xie Jinzhu, who also [don't like to read], Guan Chen feels that the books on the bookcase may be too difficult for him. He should also try new methods, starting with novels.

"But through my unremitting efforts, I can now read some esoteric books, such as this one," Xie Jinzhu picked up a waist cover and wrote, "Touching 200 million people around the world!" The bestseller of the slogan, just picking it up, tears are already faintly welling up, recalling the emotion when reading this book, "I was so moved when I read this book, I couldn't sleep all night, and I thought to myself, like if I could play ......"

As he spoke, he found that no one on the side responded.

As soon as he turned his head, Guan Chen disappeared again.

In the end, Xie Jinzhu found Guan Chen in the novel area, and sneakily seemed to want to buy something.

"I'll buy a few books for my little brother as gifts." Guan Chen explained.

After coming out of the bookstore, they later went to galleries and art exhibitions, which, according to Xie Jinzhu, can improve aesthetics.

Towards the end of the evening, Xie Jinzhu said that he was almost here today, but it was only a part of his daily life.

Although Guan Chen didn't know whether it was true or not, he could feel that the senior brother was bluffing and pretending again.

But after a day of shopping, he had a pretty good impression of Xie Jinzhu.

Also a good person.

A lot of experience is indeed said to the junior brother as a senior brother. Guan Chen could feel the sincerity and righteousness in it.

At half past five in the afternoon, it was time to get off work. The first day of work seems to be coming to an end.

Guan Chen sat in the car driven by Xie Jinzhu, looking at the afterglow hidden in the clouds in the distance, looking forward to tomorrow.

However, the unexpected arrival of a phone call made Guan Chen's time to get off work postponed.

"[What is love, I don't know every time I ask you......]" Xie Jinzhu's mobile phone rang.

He looked at the caller and chose to take it out.

As soon as it was connected, there was a hurried shout from the opposite side: "Jinzhu, I'm wanted, help me!" ”

Xie Jinzhu was taken aback, hurriedly pulled over the car, and asked, "What?" What's going on? Why are you suddenly wanted? ”

Guan Chen glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and saw that the person who was talking to Xie Jinzhu was a guy named [Shen He].

"I was filming "Extreme Man", and the program team said that I committed [threatening guests], and then they asked the police to arrest us. I'm now scattered with everyone, and I'm on the run......" The man named Shen He babbled about the situation.

Xie Jinzhu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was not really wanted, but he was recording a show.

"Okay, okay, I'll go over now and we'll talk about it when we meet." After Xie Jinzhu asked the other party's location, he planned to go over.

Hanging up the phone, Guan Chen knew that he couldn't get off work now.

Xie Jinzhu turned the car around and passed on his experience to Guan Chen: "In addition to enriching himself, the actor's daily life also includes socializing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. ”
