At noon, there were a lot of people on Modu TV, all kinds of people, all kinds of skin colors, coming and going like a passenger station.

Guan Chen still remembers the call with Xiaoxiong not long ago, so he wants to learn to observe life, observe people, and accumulate materials like his predecessor.

Guan Chen took out his mobile phone and prepared to shoot, but the security guard didn't know whether he was a commercial spy or a star chaser, and kept circling around him. Guan Chen filmed for a while, and then put away his phone in disappointment. It was not because of the interference of the security guards, but he found that most of the people were in a hurry, a small number of them were anxious, and the homogenization was serious, so there was basically no value for observation.

I don't know if it's because the way he observes is wrong, or if he chose the wrong place.

Guan Chen felt that it was the latter, so he got up from the ground and walked to the rest area of the hall.

The lounge area is connected to a bar selling drinks, and many people order a drink, sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, bask in the filtered sun, or talk, or read, or wait.

Guan Chen judged the length of the conversation by the amount of drinks left on the table and whether the atmosphere was harmonious.

Finally finding a table with a drink a little less than full, probably just sat down, he quietly lay in ambush, ready to listen to other people's lives.

After listening for a while, the situation at the table next to him was roughly that one person was talking about his dreams, and the other two were denying his dreams.

The negative person has a sign on his chest, looks like a TV station employee, has a wealth of experience in TV drama production, and lists one, two, or three reasons to explain why the "ratings explosion" that person said is a delusion, not a dream.

They asked him to write on a different subject. In the end, the man who was beaten had to say miserably that he would take it back and change it.

[It's miserable.] Guan Chen listened with relish while drinking milk tea.

At the other table, there were two employees who were sent to run errands to buy drinks, while waiting for the drinks to be made, the two chatted about other peer programs, all kinds of hit the nail on the head, until when a certain program was mentioned, they immediately said that the ratings were not good, because of the time period, and the lack of funds, there was no good host......

[They're talking about their own show.] Guan Chen made a judgment.

Guan Chen originally wanted to listen to it for a while, but he sat here and slowly attracted the attention of some people around him—everyone thought he was an artist.

This hindered Guan Chen's eavesdropping plan a little.

Some little girls looked at him frequently, and he became the object of observation; The people at the next table not only lowered their voices when chatting, but also changed the subject, as if he would talk to someone after listening.

Guan Chen found it boring. He looked at the time, and there were still twenty minutes before the time he had made an appointment.

Guan Chen sucked up the last pearl and ate it, got up and walked to the bookstore next to the bar.

The last time he came to play with Xiao Xiong, Guan Chen noticed this bookstore. But I didn't have time to visit last time.

Guan Chen likes books very much now, and when he passes by the bookstore, he can't help but go in and stroll around, choosing to see if there are any books that suit his taste.

Some of them are good for the taste, and some of them just need the book cover to suit the taste.

The paper and cover material of the hardcover book are better than the ordinary ones, and they can be carried closely, maybe they can block the knife, and it is also good to attack the enemy's throat with the spine of the book.

Guan Chen was looking for the hardcover book that met the requirements in terms of content and cover.

When I walked into the bookstore, I found that although the space inside was small, the types of books were quite to Guan Chen's taste, after all, the customers here were people who came and went to the TV station, and there was no need for books related to agriculture and medicine.

The platform that enters the door is the best-selling area, and it is full of books that have been selling well recently.

Guan Chen once thought that he would see "Yunman at Half Past Four in the Morning", "Shuimu at Half Past Two in the Morning", or the bestsellers with a small fresh sentence as the title of the book, but he was disappointed to find that the bestsellers here are not all cheap chicken soup.

Sometimes it's popular literature, sometimes it's the debut of a newcomer in the literary world, sometimes it's a new work by a famous artist, and if a list of influential awards is recently announced, then the poetry collection also has a chance to become a bestseller.

After Guan Chen stepped into the [junior high school], he basically picked books in the best-selling area.

Probably because the emotional intelligence of the TV station is not very high, Guan Chen found that there are many workplace books in the best-selling area, and they want to improve the emotional intelligence of customers.

Guan Chen picked up a book called How to Speak for People with High Emotional Intelligence, and the waist cover read, [Magic Weapon for Winning in the Workplace]. Flip through it casually and turn to a page, which allows him to change it to "I can learn" when he wants to say "I can't"; Put "Do you understand?" " to "I don't know if I made it clear"; "You didn't understand what I meant" was replaced by "I may not have explained it clearly...... Guan Chen sneered disdainfully, and the little minions needed it, cadres and reserve shareholders like him, only employees looked at him.

Putting down the book, Guan Chen walked to the [Children's Book Area] to see if the black cat detective had captured the new criminal, but found three small dots blocking in front of him.

It stands to reason that today is not a holiday or a weekend, and elementary school students should still be in school at this time. But Guan Chen was only puzzled for a moment, and it was not very strange. Because this is a TV station, and the entertainment industry is the only place where child labor can be used in the open.

Looking at these three little clothes, Guan Chen guessed that this couple might have been debuting for a longer time than him.

Guan Chen thought so, and stopped to look at what books they had chosen.

A few little ones are hesitating and don't know what to pick.

"I recommend this one." Guan Chen, who was behind them, listened to it for a few minutes and couldn't help but come forward to recommend it.

"You're already an adult, aren't you?" Xiao Bu nodded and turned his head to see Guan Chen, feeling that Guan Chen's recommendation was not very reliable.

"Adults are just children with a sounder moral outlook." Guan Chen felt that he had no sense of morality, so the recommended books must also be suitable for children.

Xiao Budian was infected by Guan Chen's self-confidence, and couldn't help but see what he recommended.

"Hulu Man? I've seen this for a long time! The little ones laughed.

The strange thing is that even though each of them has seen it, they are still happily and gossiping about how the seven gourd men can play their skills, subdue demons and eliminate demons, and pass the test.

"That's not right." Guan Chen shook his head incomprehensibly.

The little ones stopped cheering each other and looked at Guan Chen.

"The snake demon inside lived a good life with her husband, but the seven little ghosts came to trouble one after another. In the workplace, there are often such flying disasters, so what we have to learn should be the snake demon with superior wisdom. Guan Chen recommended: "For example, the hero's power is infinite, and the snake demon will provoke him to trap himself by drilling his money eyes; The two heroes clairvoyance is downwind, and the snake demon fans the yin wind to blind the other party...... "Guan Chen pointed out the methods used by the snake demon one by one, wearing small shoes, splashing dirty water, grabbing the little tail, buttoning the hat, breaking it from the inside, and eating black ......

"That's the real magic weapon for success in the workplace." Guan Chen sighed.

The little ones looked at each other, took the book in a daze, paid in a daze, and then walked to the elevator in a daze.

"Do a good deed every day, and reach the standard." Guan Chen touched his heart with his hand, felt the touch of the good person certificate through his clothes, and felt that his soul was purer.

After shopping for a while, Guan Chen's mobile phone suddenly vibrate.

He took it out and looked at it, walked out of the bookstore, and saw Director Zhou who he was going to see today at the drink bar.

It has been nearly four months since the filming of "Tonight".

Director Zhou wore a crumpled plaid shirt and baggy pants. The eyelids seemed to be a little unable to lift, and the dark circles under the eyes hung under the eyes. Compared with four months ago, he seems to have aged four years all of a sudden, and he is already a very successful variety show director.

"In the late stage of the rush, something happened temporarily." Director Zhou rubbed his eyes and asked Guan Chen, "What to drink?" ”

Guan Chen asked for a cup of iced tea.

When filming "Tonight", Guan Chen had not bought a new mobile phone. After the filming of the show that day, Director Zhou gave him a business card, and Guan Chen later saved the number. But it was only saved, and there was no contact, so Director Zhou didn't know Guan Chen's number.

Until two days ago, Guan Chen looked back on the people and things he encountered along the way after he came to this world, and found that the reason why he was able to get to where he is today and did not go astray was thanks to Director Zhou who bought the book that night.

So after nearly four months, Guan Chen sent a text message to Director Zhou and asked Director Zhou, [What are your wishes? I can help you with that. 】

"I was so scared I thought I was going to die!" Director Zhou drank coffee, basked in the sun, and recalled the text message with palpitations.

"Normal people should suspect that it is a telecom fraud, right?" Guan Chen was puzzled: "You owe money outside?" ”

Director Zhou hurriedly shook his head: "At that time, I just finished interviewing a person, who claimed to be a psychic physique, and told a lot of strange things that I had encountered since I was a child. I was a little hairy in my heart, and suddenly I received a text message from you. It's like some kind of omen. ”

Guan Chen said, "It seems that the show "Tonight" is doing well now. ”

"That's good." Director Zhou smiled after speaking, and changed his words: "Compared with that time, it can be said to be very good." Thanks to you. ”

Director Zhou said that it was precisely because of the filming of Guan Chen's episode that their program team understood the next direction, determined the core of the program, and really made the idea fall to the ground. After the popularity on the Internet, the ratings of the show also improved little by little, "You later appeared on "Extreme Man", netizens turned out your episode, and the ratings of our show rose a little more. "Now their playback time has also been raised to 10 o'clock, and it is no longer a late-night slot.

"It's good to be perfect for each other." Guan Chen smiled.

Director Zhou began to talk to Guan Chen about the interesting interviewees he had met in the past few months. There are all kinds of them.

Guan Chen also listened very carefully. Now he is not the same person who didn't have any ideas four months ago and didn't know what to do after he was full.

At this time, listening to Director Zhou's talk about the changes in the program, he no longer felt bored or unintelligible.

Just now, he always wanted to understand other people's lives, but now that he thinks about it, isn't "Tonight" doing such a thing?

Listening to it, Guan Chen felt more and more that Director Zhou's experience could confirm something in his heart - to engage in creation, he really needs to get through his own interior first. Whether it's a TV series or a variety show, if you don't even believe in the creators themselves, then no matter how much money you spend, no matter how much you grow, the things you express will just be a weak murmur, and they will soon be drowned out by other voices.

"I asked you out this time because I wanted to ask you something." Director Zhou said.

Guan Chen waited for the other party to speak.

He sent that text message to Director Zhou because he really wanted to repay the favor. Unexpectedly, Director Zhou called him the next day, saying that he might really need Guan Chen's help.

Director Zhou sorted out the rhetoric and clarified the meaning:

"About half a year later, we are going to launch a new variety show. Or I'm directing. The content is similar to what I'm doing now, which is also to observe a person's home, but the difference is that the new show is aimed at artists. ”

"So, the new show is going to the artist's house to shoot?" Guan Chen thought about it for a moment.

"Yes." Director Zhou nodded. This is also the inspiration that Guan Chen brings. Because he was obviously filmed as a passerby, but he didn't expect the "older actor" to become popular so quickly.

Later, everyone went to watch that episode of the show, more to satisfy their curiosity about Guan Chen, analyze Guan Chen's bookcase, and guess Guan Chen's usual habits.

After the news of Guan Chen's confirmation of starring in "The Story of the Police" appeared, everyone had already regarded Guan Chen as an artist in their words and deeds.

It is foreseeable that when "Police Story" is released, another group of people will come to "Tonight" for archaeology. Because I was curious about Guan Chen, I was curious about the bits and pieces of Guan Chen's life.

So Director Zhou wondered if he could make an artist version of a home observation program.

The amateur version is to embody that ordinary people can also live extraordinary.

In the artist version, it is to reflect that the star is just an ordinary person.

"The plan is not completely perfect." Director Zhou said, "But it is probably to observe what the subject is doing at home, and may also follow the photograph out of the house and shoot what he did for a day." ”

What kind of artists to invite to the show, in fact, I haven't thought about it yet. But Guan Chen is already on the first batch of invitation lists.

Before, he thought that after Guan Chen's filming became popular, he might not be willing to come. But as soon as Guan Chen's text message was sent, Director Zhou suddenly had a premonition. Steady.

Sure enough, after Guan Chen listened, he nodded briskly: "Okay." ”

Director Zhou asked, "Don't you need to talk to the brokerage company?" ”

Guan Chen said: "I can decide for myself. "After all, he is a senior cadre, and there is still some degree of freedom in this way.

Director Zhou was very satisfied.

Guan Chen asked him: "What is the program called?" I asked my agent to help me take notes. ”

"The name of the show has not yet been determined, and now it is tentatively set as "I Live Alone".

Guan Chen nodded, ready to go back and talk to Manager Qian.

"By the way," Director Zhou suddenly thought of something and asked, "Will you be in love at that time?" If you happen to be in a relationship, I'm afraid it will disturb you when you are photographed at home. ”

"I can learn."

“…… What??? ”

"Oh, I mean, I won't."
