Chapter 78: Small Test

"From the time your character has a name, it's not destined to be a trick."

Xie Jinzhu said with a solemn face that his original guess was being realized little by little.

Guan Chen let out an "oh", looked down at the script, and didn't ask what the guess was.

Xie Jinzhu had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "The role of [Chen] is likely to appear in the third part and become the villain." ”

Guan Chen just flipped to the last part of the script. After the actor laboriously killed Xie Jinzhu, the villain, a bloody minion quietly sent a text message in the corner. And [Chen], who was sitting in the restaurant in the distance, looked at his mobile phone and waved at the juniors behind him, asking them to get ready to take over the territory.

This scene may be put into the final easter egg. But I can't say for sure. It depends on how "Police Story" goes. "Xie Jinzhu is very experienced. Whether it is the suspense of the series, or the pursuit of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry.

Guan Chen did not speak, nor did he show any joy.

He didn't really like "Black Dragon" very much, and felt that the plot was outrageous and the characters were stupid. But after filming "Police Story", he changed a little.

Guan Chen became even more disdainful of "Black Dragon".

In addition to the fact that the screenwriter's expression space was squeezed, it was also because the atmosphere on the set made him feel bad.

Guan Chen remembers that when filming "Police Story", Director Chen only slept about four hours a day, always tensed a nerve, and rarely had time to relax.

After all, everything that can be given in terms of funds and face has been given, and if the film exposes its flaws, it will be the director's reason.

Director Chen was under heavy pressure, and everyone else was engrossed, and the slightest relaxation would lead to reprimand. As filming progressed, everyone had a hunch that they were part of the production of a great film. As a result, the efficiency of the entire crew is getting higher and higher, and people perform their duties and show their professionalism.

Guan Chen thought that all the sets were like that.

The director of "Black Dragon 2" has a weak face, and it seems that he only sleeps for one or two hours a day, and he may hang up at any time, but on his set, the air is full of relaxation.

The crew slowly lays out the scenes; The actors laughed and laughed together; The assistant director selects group performers not far away, and picks whoever looks like a foreigner; The prop master was discussing with an actor to make the opponent's swing a little lighter, otherwise the foam roller of the handle would fall off......

Guan Chen didn't know if this was a carefree workshop alone.

He felt that this set was a bit like the classroom where he took the exam when he was studying in his previous life, and he should have been nervous to do the questions, but because everyone was the poor students at the bottom of the grade, they were laughing and laughing, and there was no atmosphere of being examined, and after the bell rang, everyone's faces were full of "I slept happily".

If he shoots something on such a set, Guan Chen feels that he can only play six or seven points with all his strength.

"You'd be wrong to think so." Xie Jinzhu said that this is not the case, the atmosphere on the set is related to the director, and it is also related to the type of film being filmed. For example, a relaxed set to shoot a comedy, and a tense set to shoot suspense, will get twice the result with half the effort.

"What kind of atmosphere should an idol movie be?" Guan Chen asked, "There are a lot of good-looking idols?" ”

Xie Jinzhu nodded, then immediately shook his head and said, "Idol movies are just a statement, not the tone of the movie." The tone of our film is bloody! ”

Xie Jinzhu gestured and asked Guan Chen to follow his gaze forward.

Guan Chen looked over, it was a gray-haired old man.

"That's the role of [restaurant owner], Mr. Xing auditioned, but didn't choose. Probably not old enough. Xie Jinzhu said.

"It's very old." Looking at the old actor who was resting not far away, Guan Chen touched his chin and nodded, and said, "So, such an old man doesn't retire and stays at home, and he still comes out to work when he is old, is this hot blood?" ”

“…… That's not what it means! Xie Jinzhu let Guan Chen's gaze look down, "You pay attention to his hands and fingers!" ”

Guan Chen looked at the old man's hand.

The old actor's left little thumb, covered with a piece of green cloth, looks like half a gherkin.

"It's convenient to get rid of that little finger at a later stage. to reflect the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes. Xie Jinzhu gestured with his eyes, this is hot enough, right? Don't underestimate the yakuza movie.

Guan Chen flipped through the script, which introduced this [restaurant owner]. On the surface, it is a family, but the character setting is an old villain who is half withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, doing the work of an arms broker. After the actor was rescued by [Chen], he was taken to the restaurant by the latter and introduced to the [restaurant owner], saying that if he wanted to buy a gun, he would buy it here.

"Originally, your role was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but you are already here today, do you want to shoot a few first?" The director's weak voice sounded beside Guan Chen.

Guan Chen turned his head and saw the director walking over with the screenwriter.

"Okay." Guan Chen didn't hesitate much, and agreed.

There are no action scenes today, Master Cai and his brothers are not on the set, Guan Chen has not been able to relax his muscles and bones, although there are some regrets, but he came to perform temporarily, and it feels also good.

Unlike Guan Chen's eagerness, Xie Jinzhu, who was sitting on the side, was very worried.

He knew that the director wanted to try Guan Chen's quality.

The director had only watched Guan Chen's martial arts before, and he didn't know what the level of Guan Chen's literary drama was. After hearing that Guan Chen was selected by "Police Story", the director has always been curious about what happened. Xie Jinzhu said that the normal audition was selected by strength. The director felt that it was magical, so at the instigation of Xie Jinzhu, the screenwriter increased the role of [Chen], and buried the suspense, and it was possible to become the villain of the third part.

Xie Jinzhu is not worried about Guan Chen's strength, he is worried that the time is too rushed, so that Guan Chen has no time to prepare for the role.

"I'd like to make a suggestion." Guan Chen looked at the director.

The director asked what to suggest.

"That little thumb, it should be replaced with a big thumb." Guan Chen pointed to the hot-blooded elderly actor.

The director was puzzled and asked why.

"Chop off the tail finger of a gambling debt, cut off the index finger of a pickpocket, but if you have pointed a gun at someone who shouldn't have pointed it, you will eventually have your thumb cut off." Guan Chen said, "The boss is secretly a semi-retired arms agent, so being cut off his thumb would be more in line with his background." ”

The people around "......" were silent for a few seconds, as if an angel was passing by at this moment.

[I'm back.] Brother Chen is back. The hearts of the director, screenwriter, and the surrounding staff rang at the same time.

Xie Jinzhu looked at Guan Chen, who was in good shape, with satisfaction. No more worrying about whether he's ready or not.

"In addition, I may change these lines and follow my own ideas." Guan Chen said to the screenwriter.

The screenwriter's face was a little ugly all of a sudden, and the director immediately reminded him in a low voice: "Yunman! "Yunman University! "Yunman University Literature Department! ”。

Guan Chen didn't want to bully people with his diploma. He remembered the method taught by Zhang Jingsheng, and pulled the screenwriter aside and muttered for a while. After coming back, the screenwriter's face was much better and said, "Then let's try it first." ”

So Guan Chen was taken to change clothes and do styling.

Although his role only started the day after tomorrow, the costumes were already prepared in advance. It is a formal suit. The clothes he prepared with the data he had prepared two months ago were already a little small when he wore them at this time. Because of the time span of the story of "Police", there were several years apart, so Guan Chen gained a little muscle when filming the second half.

The stylist scrambled to find clothes. In the end, I only found one from Xie Jinzhu and gave it to Guan Chen.

The news that Guan Chen was going to perform immediately spread throughout the crew.

Everyone is curious about how Guan Chen will act later.

At the same time, the scene of the restaurant has been set up. Ensembles of some foreign faces are arranged throughout the restaurant. It means that this restaurant selling arms and firearms is located in an area where foreigners live, and foreigners here have a way to get arms and firearms.

When Guan Chen was styling, the actor came over and said hello to him.

The actor has been trained by Guan Chen and knows Guan Chen's "real style", he is very afraid that Guan Chen, who has announced in advance that he is going to change his lines, and when he wants to change his actions later, he suddenly picks up something and smashes his head. If the actor wants Guan Chen to smash his head, please tell him in advance so that he can be prepared.

Guan Chen said that there was no need to prepare.

After styling and changing clothes, Guan Chen followed the director to understand the movement line, and probably knew how to move.

Guan Chen closed his eyes and let the stylist handle his hair. At the same time, he was thinking about the performance that he was waiting for.

It had been a long time since he had used the characters in his memory.

When he thinks of the gang boss, he can think of many characters in movies from China, Japan, South Korea, Britain, the United States, Italy, Germany, France, and even Brazil.

But after he played "Police Story", he is now less superstitious about classic roles.

There are vacancies in the script of using the classic characters of the earth in the otherworld, and those vacancies have to be filled by him with his own memories and feelings.

own memory......

Guan Chen smiled.

There are so many memories of the gangster's own. Even though he hadn't been a boss, he had seen too many.

Just sitting and building for twenty minutes, Guan Chen had already thought about how to act later.

The director said "start", and the twenty people in the restaurant moved together, talking and talking, acting as a background.

Guan Chen walked into the restaurant with the male protagonist who was vigilant, came to the counter, and introduced the boss with a green cloth cover on his right thumb to the male protagonist: [If you want to buy a knife or a gun, look for him. 】

The actor said solemnly: [If you help me like this, you are not afraid of death? 】

Guan Chen smiled and asked him: [What about you? Are you afraid? 】

The actor shook his head: [I won't die. 】

Guan Chen said: [People are taboo to talk about their own death, but they often express their opinions on the death of others. In fact, those who do our business should be prepared to hack others to death at any time, and to be hacked to death at any time. If anyone spares his life, then this person will soon die. 】

This is the first sentence that Guan Chen changed. The screenwriter standing outside the venue was stunned for a moment, and immediately lowered his head and flipped through the script. Flipping to the scene where the actor and Xie Jinzhu are in the office, the boss played by Xie Jinzhu and the actor have a conversation with each other about how to die. And in the end, it was because the big guy spared his life, and his movements and momentum were weakened, that he was seriously injured by the male protagonist, in exchange for the death of the other party.

[The fortune teller told me that my life is a success, but I don't agree, I think it's up to me to decide whether to live or die. Guan Chen propped his elbows on the table, lowered his head, and most of his eyes were hidden in the shadows: [Last year, six of my brothers were killed by them. Like you, I have a common enemy. I'm ready to die on the way to revenge. If you're not ready, I'll be here if I didn't bring you here today. 】

Guan Chen looked at the actor calmly, there was no impulse or timidity in his eyes, and there was just a calmness in deciding how to die early. The open-mindedness to die and the righteousness to avenge his brother in him are not possessed by the "twilight" Xie Jinzhu.

Some people who have watched the final battle in Xie Jinzhu's office looked at Guan Chen, and the feeling of "he is indeed more than the big brother played by Xie Jinzhu" quietly floated in their hearts.

In the end, the actor nodded resolutely according to the script, determined to kill the boss played by Xie Jinzhu.

After the actor left, the restaurant owner walked up to him, looked at the seat where the actor left, and said hoarsely: [It's a good knife, but unfortunately it can only be used once. 】

[No, it won't. Guan Chen shook his head with a smile, his eyes were as cold as a deep pool: [He can't turn back. I can see that he is not really avenging his brother now, he is actually enjoying the hunt and the pain. Such a person can't go back to ordinary days. So, he'll be the best knife I'll ever have until it breaks. 】

The screenwriter was speechless again and again, and there was no dissatisfaction with Guan Chen's changing lines in his heart.

Because Guan Chen's sentence just now was like the first drop of ink on Jiaolong's body. The complexity and depth of the role of the male protagonist are all at once. How to write the male protagonist of the third part, there is a direction immediately.

When the director shouted "Stop-", everyone praised Guan Chen's performance and spontaneously applauded.

But Guan Chen just smiled calmly, and then sat on the chair, his hand supporting his chin, and his eyes looked ahead in a daze.

He was thinking.

I want to be the boss of my last life.

He didn't know if his boss had said something similar when he took him in.
