The invitation of the director of "Black Dragon 2" was very sudden, but Guan Chen did not mess up.

"How? Interested? Xie Jinzhu asked Guan Chen.

Guan Chen pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed on the coffee table: "Here." ”

"What?" Xie Jinzhu didn't understand.

"The script of "Black Dragon 2", if you show me, I will be classified here." Where Guan Chen pointed his finger, there was a stack of scripts he had just read.

Xie Jinzhu thought to himself, if he remembered correctly, the stack of scripts belonged to the third type of [old-fashioned stories, but there are highlights], [old-fashioned stories, and there are no highlights] - [The story is old-fashioned, and there are no highlights, the plot logic is not clear, the characters are flattened, the behavior is inexplicable, and the lines are twisted and don't speak human words......].

In short, it is a script that Guan Chen can't like.

"It's all said that it's a fan movie." Xie Jinzhu, as an important supporting role in the movie, is inevitably a little ashamed, "Let's go, let's go over and see first." ”

The two walked downstairs and got into the car.

The actors of "Black Dragon 2" did their best, and they were temporarily safe and sound, no one had a scandal, and no one had a car accident, so the role promised to Guan Chen was not someone else's.

"It's impossible to add a character on a temporary basis, so the entire script has to be revised, so it can only be a small role, with a few lines and shots at most." Xie Jinzhu analyzed Guan Chen in the car, with Guan Chen's popularity, before proving his acting skills, he couldn't let the filmmaker take the liberty of adding an important role for him. If it's a TV series, when you encounter an eccentric screenwriter, you still have some permissions, and the more you write the characters, the more important it is.

"So what's the point of them doing that?" Guan Chen asked.

"Maybe when I want to release it, it just coincides with the second scene of [Most Wanted in the City], so let you go on the show to promote it." After talking about the very realistic speculation, Xie Jinzhu was worried that Guan Chen would feel that he had been denied, and added: "It may also be a foreshadowing for "Black Dragon 3". Maybe in the third part, you will be arranged to be the villain. ”

Guan Chen felt that the latter situation was unlikely: "Can such a movie be made for the third time?" ”

"You kid, this is also a movie you participated in!" Xie Jinzhu shouted.

"A few thousand dollars can't buy my conscience." Guan Chen is talking about the salary of a part-time martial artist.

Xie Jinzhu thought that Guan Chen was complaining that the salary of being an assistant was too low and wanted to raise his salary, so he recalled Guan Chen's performance in the past two months, and felt that compared with his previous juniors, Guan Chen was too well-behaved and should have a salary increase. The work of the assistant is even more blameless, Guan Chen accompanies him on the trip, urges him to go to the gym to exercise, goes to concerts with him, respects his shallow view of literature, listens to his advice on fashion, gives what to eat when he goes out to eat, never picky eater, and most importantly, Guan Chen also listens to him talk nonsense and never complains, such an assistant can say that he is a psychological masseuse, and he must pay by the hour.

"Do you have any gifts you want for the New Year?" Xie Jinzhu asked Guan Chen.

Guan Chen thought for a while and said, "I want a script." ”

Xie Jinzhu almost cried.

What a simple actor, he is so innocent.

Xie Jinzhu secretly swore in his heart that in the new year, he must work hard to win a good role for Guan Chen.

……

Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu are now the place to go, the production company that produced the "Black Dragon" series of films.

There, a script reading session will take place.

This is Guan Chen's first visit to a film production company.

From the outside to the inside, there are movie posters in the corridor, which represent the company's confidence and intimidate everyone who comes in to talk about business.

It's a pity that Guan Chen judged from the average age of the leading actors on these posters that the box office and word-of-mouth of these movies may not be able to deter most people.

The really powerful film production companies are all gathered in Changping District of the capital. The production company of "Black Dragon 2" is just a film company that came into being because of the fan economy of the pop culture of the magic capital.

The area of the company is not large, Guan Chen followed Xie Jinzhu around a few corners, and then entered a conference room.

If you talk about the Cai Jiaban Training Center, it is a martial arts drama that trains actors. Then this conference room is to inspect the actors' literary dramas.

Guan Chen saw several actors who did not appear in the training ground, including the role of an old man who Mr. Xing auditioned for but was not selected.

The news spread quickly with the crew. Everyone in the conference room obviously heard everything that happened in the Cai Jiaban Training Center, coupled with the professionalism shown by Guan Chen in "Extreme Man" two days ago, so that when Guan Chen walked into the conference room, no one present let their eyes meet Guan Chen. It's like a teacher who is hiding from a student asking questions in class.

Obviously, everyone cherishes the opportunity to perform, and they don't want to miss work without an arm or leg.

Guan Chen felt that everyone was quite professional, staring at the script one by one, silently reading something in their mouths, unmoved by the outside world, and very focused. It's worth learning from him.

After Guan Chen watched a circle, he stared straight at the individual people present, and his gaze was like a blade gently scraping on human skin.

Those actors who were stared at by Guan Chen felt that something was wrong, and they shivered out of nowhere, and they put a layer on the back of their necks. When he turned his head and saw Guan Chen's gaze, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end.

Everyone present felt Guan Chen's substantial gaze, and even the sound of breathing was reduced. Some even quietly called security guards.

The scene froze for a few seconds, until Guan Chen suddenly nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I haven't gained weight, it seems that I am still training." ”

It turned out that he was looking at those actors who had martial arts, and whether their bodies were relaxed and out of shape because of the Spring Festival.

Everyone was scared to death by him.

Those actors who have martial arts are even more fortunate to have the rest of their lives.

"Old Xie!" The director came over with light steps and dark circles under his eyes, greeted Xie Jinzhu warmly, and then handed Xie Jinzhu two scripts.

"It's good to give it to Xiaoguan directly, why do you want me to hand it over." Xie Jinzhu walked over and handed over the script to Guan Chen under the signal of the director's eyes.

Guan Chen found a seat and read the script.

Sure enough, it was the same as Xie Jinzhu said. In fact, it is a trick that was originally passed by, adding a few lines and scenes.

The character is set as the boss of a new small gang in the city, coveting the status and power that Xie Jinzhu has, intending to replace him. But being suppressed all year round, I couldn't find any opportunities at all. The actor made trouble in various underworld clubs, so that the boss of the small gang realized that this was an opportunity, so he provided the actor with intelligence and weapons, and used the actor to charge into battle, revitalizing the situation that had remained unchanged for ten years. It seems that it is a character hidden behind the scenes, and it is also a rare character with a normal IQ in the whole film. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a scientific and reasonable supplement to the outrageous behavior of the actor who smashed a gang alone.

I don't know if it's because this character's IQ is too normal and scientific, which will destroy the so-called balance and make people play, so there weren't many scenes in this role.

Even if it is in Guan Chen's hands now, it is just two more shots, and there are only a few more short lines in the lines.

If it weren't for the addition of a new scene [Ah Long rushed to Chen, but was subdued], it would be equivalent to one more fight scene, otherwise playing this kind of role would be equivalent to making a cameo, and maybe he wouldn't even be able to enter the cast list when [Vine Movie] introduced the movie.

The small gang boss was temporarily given a name called [Chen], which at first glance really looks like a character tailored for Guan Chen, but Guan Chen knows that most of the filmmakers have taken a fancy to the friendship between him and Xie Jinzhu and "Extreme Man", and wants to wait until the time for publicity, he can borrow this friendship and go on the show to promote the movie. Otherwise, with the lineup and relationship of "Black Dragon", there is no weight to participate in "Extreme Man".

Guan Chen hasn't decided whether to take this extra money for the time being. After all, he doesn't have much friendship with "Extreme Man", but if he agrees to participate, Xie Jinzhu must be moved to cry, saying "Senior brothers just want to run propaganda together!" "I'm going to pull him around in the future. Bother.

Xie Jinzhu and Guan Chen arrived, and all the staff were all there. Producers, actors, screenwriters, directors, cameramen, lighting...... The hustle and bustle fills the meeting room.

The purpose of the script reading is to allow participants to put forward professional opinions on their own fields, so as to make reasonable adjustments to the script. Each reading is developed and enriched on the basis of the previous script reading.

For actors, they need to determine their understanding of the character and solve some doubts about the script.

Xie Jinzhu sat at the conference table, while Guan Chen brought a chair and sat in the back row.

Although Guan Chen is a member of the martial arts instructor, he can't participate in today's script reading. Because it's not necessary. When the fight part is described in the script, there is usually only one simple sentence: [XXX was defeated. ], [XXX and XX fought, and XX won. Sometimes it's more minimalist, with just one word: [Hit. Usually, Master Cai and they mostly discuss with photographers and gaffers, and they don't have anything to do with the literary and drama part.

So Guan Chen is sitting here today as an actor.

Guan Chen is still quite curious about the script.

The director's voice is very weak, so people can't hear it clearly, so the narration part is read by the screenwriter. When the actor reads his lines, he occasionally moves his expression, but the range of action is not large, and when he is playing, he just turns his face to the other party and reads through the script.

However, in Guan Chen's view, the role of those so-called literary and drama parts is just to find an excuse to fight and let the actor be handsome. Obviously, there is a better way to talk, but you don't need it, you must tell the plan to the protagonist in a dignified manner.

Guan Chen saw Xie Jinzhu's line level there.

can only say that in the underworld workplace that Guan Chen knows, there is no underworld brother who pretends to be so low, twists the corners of his mouth and grins loudly and says that the law is helpless. Especially when he even told the truth, he told the hero the truth about why the hero died, trying to provoke the other party. It's just stupid.

I don't know how such a stupid underworld boss used those powerful people as gloves.

It's a pity that on the reading of the script, everyone can give professional advice, but you can't make the kind of suggestion that overturns the entire script, because there is no time to change it, you can only make mistakes, for the producer, as long as you can firmly grasp the fans' wallets, it is enough.

But the suggestions made by some actors are still very interesting.

Guan Chen listened in the back, and quietly turned out "The Story of the Police" in his heart. But Guan Chen has no other scripts to take out and play with - although he memorized the script of "Black Dragon 2" after reading it, he would rather forget it all.

Although the version of the audition script that he memorized by heart was a long time ago, according to Xie Jinzhu, when the filming officially started, only half of it may be the original, and that part has also undergone minor adjustments.

Guan Chen didn't know how to deal with the crying scene at the end, so he imitated the crying scene of Azu in his previous life. The talent of the predecessor is extremely strong, and when he says that he sheds tears, he sheds tears, and every muscle in his face is for him to drive at will. But Guan Chen looked at the words in the mirror and knew that this was just tears, not crying. Tears flowed, blood vessels appeared hideously, but Guan Chen's heart was calm, resulting in the imitation of the crying scene like a cloud floating in the sky, without roots.

It's like blocking a door, and it's missing a key to open it.

Now Guan Chen listened to the questions of the actors in front of him and the director's answers, reflected their dialogues in his heart, reviewed the script of "Police Story", and looked for the key.

Guan Chen stood from Wu Ze's perspective and began to think about the relationship between the character and the entire script, and even the relationship between Wu Ze and other characters.

Zhang Jiaju lost his comrades-in-arms, and after being hit to the ground, he collapsed, and also chose to [escape], fled to alcohol, and fled to a closed heart. At this time, a male number two named Duan Xiaofeng appeared, pulling Zhang Jiaju back to the original world.

Duan Xiaofeng lost his father when he was a child, but his father committed a crime and died in order to keep him alive. Although Duan Xiaofeng is alone, he grew up with love, did not go astray, and yearns to become a policeman like Zhang Jiaju.

Teacher Xing said that Wu Ze is the opposite of Zhang Jiaju.

Now it seems that Wu Ze is still the opposite of Duan Xiaofeng.

It's just that the [love] that Wu Ze is missing, what is it?

Guan Chen was a little puzzled.

When it was Guan Chen's turn to speak the lines of "Black Jiaolong 2", Guan Chen simply finished speaking, and then continued to think about Wu Ze.

When the actor read the lines, he saw that he was going to fight alone with Guan Chen, and his expression was a little sad and angry. Seeing Guan Chen's thoughtful look, he was even more sad. thought that Guan Chen couldn't wait to think of a play.

Some other actors who have been trained in action have shown the joy of "fortunately it's not me".

During the previous training, Guan Chen, as a martial arts instructor, was supposed to interact with the actors and guide them in specific movements. However, whether it is the actor or Cai Jiaban, they have made an appointment not to use weapons of mass destruction under special circumstances. The reason is that some actors can't remember their movements, Guan Chen was speechless, and while saying, "If you are beaten too much, your body will hide by itself", and at the same time, she had to take special care of the actor. In the end, it was finally persuaded by everyone, and those actors who couldn't remember the movements immediately remembered the movements, and the others were also doubly efficient, and resolutely did not practice with Guan Chen alone.

Now that the actor is fortunate enough to play one-on-one with Guan Chen, he almost wants to die.

By the time today's script reading was over, everyone went out of the conference room, got their phones back, and prepared to go to lunch - to prevent the script from leaking, everyone would give their phones to the assistant outside the door before entering the conference room.

The director walked in front of Xie Jinzhu and Guan Chen and asked Guan Chen how he felt and whether he wanted to play that role.

Guan Chen felt that there was no problem and was about to agree. Suddenly, Xie Jinzhu on the side hugged his neck fiercely, and said to the director, "Lost company", and was about to take Guan Chen to the side.

Guan Chen thought that Xie Jinzhu wanted to refuse, so he came to talk to him in advance.

As a result, Xie Jinzhu opened his mouth and said that this was not the case at all.

"Why did you turn off your phone!" Xie Jinzhu asked Guan Chen.

Guan Chen frowned, feeling that this problem had happened today. Why did the senior brother in front of him ask again, was it taken away or Alzheimer's? Either way, it's bad.

"Director Chen didn't get through to call you, and you went to Huang Jin!" Xie Jinzhu asked Guan Chen to quickly change to the original number to take a look.

"Director Chen? Which Director Chen? ”

""Police Story" Director Chen!"
