Chapter 28: Connections

Due to the filming of a large-scale event, several hosts worked very hard, and the "Extreme Man" program team organized a dinner party to prepare to treat them.

Xie Jinzhu is very idle, and Guan Chen is also very idle. The two of them were invited to participate together.

The police from the hunter group didn't go, they had to stay for the after-harvest, review the whole operation, figure out where they lost, and then worry. It is estimated that after going back, I will have to be trained by the leader, write a report, and explain why I failed to complete the task well. Although the battle book is issued, it is likely that it will not be their team that will fight again.

The restaurant where the dinner party is a hot pot restaurant.

Listening to Xie Jinzhu, it was opened by an artist they knew well. People in the circle like to open hot pot restaurants if they are engaged in catering, which has no technical content and is suitable for chains.

Guan Chen felt cordial, because the people in his circle also liked hot pot restaurants. When there is a fight, the soup base is a good weapon, with the ability to kill in a wide area. If you cut off any parts from the enemy's body and throw them into the soup, you can discard them on the spot, and you can't pick them up.

The decoration of the hot pot restaurant is very retro, imitating the appearance of the inn in ancient times, and most of the things are wooden, mixed with red, brown and orange, which looks very pyrotechnic.

The seats inside are very empty, which is the result of the program team making an appointment in advance, and there are only a few tables of guests who came very early, and they are very happy after seeing "Extreme Man".

When everyone arrived at their destination, they skillfully dispersed and took their seats according to their functions and departments.

Guan Chen followed behind Xie Jinzhu without any burden and came to the box on the second floor together.

He felt a little strange, because he saw that other artists had followers or drivers, and they were very star-like, but Xie Jinzhu did not have followers and drivers. Is there no money? Or is it because of the low popularity?

Guan Chen didn't know, and he didn't bother to figure it out, eating now was the most important thing. After he sat down, he said to Xie Jinzhu, "When you get the dipping sauce, bring one for me by the way." ”

Xie Jinzhu just sat down, and was stunned for a moment after listening: "Why don't you go by yourself?" ”

"I'm not familiar with the dipping sauce here. It's better to be cautious, it's better to be like you. Guan Chen scalded the dishes with boiling water, first scalded the cups, then poured them into the bowl, and stirred them with spoons and chopsticks, the whole process was meticulous, smooth and natural, as if performing some kind of ritual.

Xie Jinzhu faintly felt that something was wrong, thought about it for a long time, and finally thought: "The tableware here has been disinfected, you don't need to be hot anymore." ”

"I know." Guan Chen was unmoved, raised his head and stared at Xie Jinzhu: "Garlic, coriander and green onions, a little more vinegar, and the rest are just like you." ”

Urged by Guan Chen's eyes, Xie Jinzhu stood up in a daze and went to get the dipping sauce.

Shen He and the others finished dealing with the fans downstairs and entered the box. The waiter also pushed the soup base, put the pot in the center of the table, and turned on the equipment.

Shen He saw that Guan Chen was the only one in the box, so he asked, "Where is Jinzhu?" ”

"I'm going to get some dip." Guan Chen finished the ceremony and waited for dinner.

"You also came out of Xing Yan's acting class?" Huang Jin asked Guan Chen.

"Yes. Is this acting class famous? ”

Everyone laughed and tried to make their smiles less offensive.

"It's not just famous." A host surnamed Lu and nicknamed Lu Crazy smiled brightest, as if he was about to say something, but was glanced at by Huang Jin's eyes and immediately stopped the momentum.

Xie Jinzhu's junior brothers and sisters, Shen He and the others already knew. After all, when Xie Jinzhu took his junior disciples a few times before, they were also asked to take care of them, and finally witnessed a tragic ending. In fact, these deeds are quite famous in a small circle of circles, some people admire Xie Jinzhu's righteousness, and others think he is stupid.

Shen He Huang entered these people, not only thought he was stupid, lamented his misfortune and hated him, but at the same time he had a heart-to-heart because of it.

The appearance of Guan Chen, for Xie Jinzhu, I don't know whether it is a continuation of suffering, or whether it is a bittersweet and time-to-run operation. All they can do is bless.

Among them, only Shen He and Guan Chen have been together for a while, but they are unexpectedly very optimistic about Guan Chen: "You performed well today, why don't you come and be a variety show." ”

Immediately, a chubby host came out to retort: "How handsome people are, why are you so bad to others, you are really instigating people." ”

"Where did I instigate it? I admired him, and he felt honored too late! ”

"It's an honor. How many of the ones you've admired are on fire? ”

"I admire Huang Jin very much. He's so successful now because of me. ”

"Why don't you appreciate yourself? Did you have another yellow show in your hand a few days ago? ”

“…… You guy! Shen He scolded angrily, pounced on it, and struck again and again with short fists.

The two of them escalated from bickering to slapstick, as if they were still recording the show, and some of the others cheered and cheered to warm up the atmosphere, and some looked depressed and just wanted to be quiet.

Guan Chen didn't know what these people were doing, so he just watched quietly. Then wait for the meal to start.

Huang Jin's eyes moved, and he took the initiative to talk to Guan Chen: "How did you send such a person to the helicopter?" ”

They don't look at the monitoring screen, they only know a result, they don't know the process. But seeing that Shen He admired Guan Chen so consistently, both in front of and behind the camera, they were really curious about what was going on.

"It's mainly because of the poor intelligence, some rules, plus the light enemy on the opposite side, it's not difficult to complete the task, and it's normal for the hunter group to lose." Guan Chen touched his chin and analyzed: "If it is an actual escape, the difficulty is about a hundred times that of the show." As for whether it can run out, it's hard to say until the end. If I had given me time to prepare, running away shouldn't be a problem. If you are interested or in need, I can teach you. ”

Who's interested! Who needs it!

Lu Mad pointed at Guan Chen and shouted at Huang Jin: "Brother, he's cursing us, right?" ”

"Is that the point?" Huang Jin patted Lu Crazy depressedly. What Guan Chen said just now is [Actual Escape] and [Running Away Should Not Be a Problem]!

Shen He clasped his hands, nodded frequently, and encouraged Guan Chen seriously: "Believe me, be an actor well, you will definitely be able to make money!" Even if you fail in acting, don't give up hope! You can come and be my successor! ”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Shen He, this guy...... It turned out to be a hero!

"Yes, yes, yes!" Others also gave advice, saying that there are still many choices in life, and variety artists and idols are also very good and promising careers.

They were afraid that after Guan Chen's acting career suffered a setback, he would take risks and really do something dangerous.

At this time, Director Jin ordered the dishes, greeted the back kitchen, and walked into the box with the chief screenwriter.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively. Director Jin took a seat with a smile.

Director Jin is handsome, and in the middle of a group of hosts, he feels like an idol artist with six staff members.

Guan Chen had a question for Director Jin and wanted to ask: "Won't there be trouble if the police fail in the end?" ”

"No trouble." Director Jin said with a smile: "In many TV movies, there are police fiascos or directly become villains, and our degree is nothing." If everything requires [absolutely correct], although it is based on the general righteousness, it will not make mistakes, but it will inevitably give the audience the impression that "variety shows are very serious" and "movies are very serious", which makes people expect the ending of all stories, which is too boring. Spending a lot of space just to tell a matter of course always feels that it is imposing preaching on others, and it is easy to turn the work into a [propaganda film]. And our show only reflects the truth. ”

Guan Chen was silent after hearing this. Because he didn't feel like he understood very well. After listening to it for a long time, I only heard that the Chinese scale of this world is really relaxed, the culture is really confident, and the literary and artistic workers really dare to speak.

"Not bad." Guan Chen nodded.

Director Jin felt that his statement was agreed, so he invited Guan Chen: "So in the second duel, the hunter group has been upgraded, if you can come at that time, you don't have to be polite." ”

"The second one?" Guan Chen felt that it was a long time later. Moreover, he really doesn't care if he wins or not, he really just wants to do something good for society!

There was a knock on the box door, and it was Xie Jinzhu who came back after getting the dipping sauce.

"It's too early to talk about the second show, when the time comes, my little junior brother will become a big actor, you have to make an appointment first." Xie Jinzhu was joking, and he was very optimistic about Guan Chen's actor path.

"Does Guan Chen have any works?" Huang Jin asked Xie Jinzhu.

"No, he hasn't even entered the industry, and I'm still helping him find his first project." Xie Jinzhu immediately asked everyone for help: "Then if there is a suitable role, you can help recommend me as a junior brother." ”

Relationships are very important in circles. Some information is time-sensitive, and the sooner you know it, the more room you have to operate, and if it's too late, you won't have time for anything. And some projects, if no one recommends and introduces, outsiders can't even touch the threshold.

Although Huang Jin and Shen He are just variety show comedians, they have been doing it for so many years in "Extreme Man", and they have known many top actors, singers, and sports stars. Especially Huang Jin, the connections he has are definitely among the best in the circle.

"I'll keep an eye on him." "I'll ask when I go back." Everyone said.

If you don't know Guan Chen, these words are just polite. But after tasting the danger of Guan Chen, everyone is really willing to pay attention to it, and if appropriate, they will recommend an audition to try to keep Guan Chen on the right path.

After that, everyone started eating and talked about other things.

Guan Chen thought that he could listen to some gossip and secrets in the circle, but in fact, everyone talked quite ordinary. For example, sending children to cram school is very tiring, they can't teach homework, and children feel stupid when they see their father on TV. Another example is to go to the hospital for a physical examination and check what is wrong.

During the banquet, Guan Chen basically didn't speak, just listened. I went to the toilet halfway through and walked downstairs to other tables before I heard some exciting news.

But Guan Chen is not interested in these either, he has seen the darker and more unbelievable things in human nature in his previous life. He really doesn't like this in the entertainment industry. Compared to these, those good people and good deeds interest him. But it's a pity that all I hear are complaints about the stars in the circle, what to play big names, what to make things difficult for the staff.

Guan Chen listened to it for a while, and felt bored, so he went outside the door to blow the cold wind and play with his mobile phone.

After about half an hour, Xie Jinzhu and Huang Jin walked down. Shen He and the others seemed to be about to start drinking, and Xie Jinzhu knew that he was going to drive, so he was ready to withdraw in advance.

When he arrived outside the door, Huang Jin, who sent Xie Jinzhu down, suddenly grabbed Xie Jinzhu and said:

"I know of a crew that's been casting lately. I talked to the director at dinner before, and I probably know what the story is. Guan Chen's words may be quite suitable for one of the roles. ”
