Since the new teacher came to the acting training class, Xing Yan finally had time to do what he wanted to do.

When Guan Chen was working part-time in a restaurant a few days ago, he heard Xie Jinzhu say on the phone that Xing Yan has to go to bars or nightclubs every night these days, and he always comes home late at night.

Xie Jinzhu was worried that Xing Yan's old state would sprout, and he spent as much time drinking as when he was young, regardless of his career and family.

Guan Chen was also worried about Xing Yan when he heard about this, thinking that he would soon receive news of Xing Yan's death or being in debt—a lonely elderly man who has always been a high-quality target of fraud and robbery. Of course, it is also possible to go into debt and die later.

Guan Chen came out of the studio and looked at the time, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

In the days of nearly May, the sky still had the afterglow of sunshine, Guan Chen looked at the sky and knew that he had to hurry.

He remembered that the younger brother who was in charge of debt collection business in his previous life liked to go to someone's house in the evening to ask for debts.

Guan Chen asked the reason, and the younger brother said that people who have a family, and the family members go to work separately during the day, so they can not eat breakfast and lunch together, but only dinner, which can be eaten together. When night falls, the family gathers together to eat, which is a habit written in the genes. And according to scientific evidence, people are the weakest at dusk, what [the willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk], what is said to be confessing at dusk, the probability of success is the greatest. By analogy, it is also effective in debt collection.

Guan Chen didn't know if the debt collectors in this world would be so educated, so he took out his mobile phone and called Xing Yan.

"Teacher Xing, where are you?"

"I'm at home." Xing Yan said.

"How's my wife? How did she feel about the silk scarf she gave her last time? ”

"What ???" Xing Yan felt inexplicable, "It's a big night, don't be scary!" ”

Xing Yan's wife passed away a few years ago.

"Oh." Guan Chen understood, it seems that Xing Yan is fine now, he can go and find it.

When you are on the phone, mentioning someone who has passed away or does not exist in reality can be used as a code to remind you that something is wrong right now.

"You kid made it clear, why did you suddenly ......"

"I'm worried that you're surrounded by debt collectors."

"Debt collectors?" Xing Yan felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became!

"Leave that alone." Guan Chen said: "I received Director Tian's script today, and there are some things I don't understand on it, can I go over and look for you now?" ”

"Script?" When Xing Yan heard that it was a question related to the cash cow of the training class, his tone immediately became much more serious, "Okay, come here." ”

Guan Chen hung up the phone and called a taxi to Xing Yan's house.

Guan Chen is familiar with this place, he has been here several times, and after looking at the people who are not letting go nearby, Guan Chen is sure that Xing Yan is still safe at the moment. Good luck.

Guan Chen bought some fruit at a fruit stall on the side of the road. I learned this from my brother. In the past, when preparing for the role of "Police Story", Xie Jinzhu took Guan Chen to Xing Yan's house, and he had to bring something with him every time. Things are not expensive or cheap, what matters is attitude and heart.

After buying the fruit, Guan Chen went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Xing Yan came over and opened the door for Guan Chen, and after Guan Chen entered the house, he found that Xing Yan was preparing to have dinner, and the atmosphere was very warm. And Xing Yan was not the only one in the room, that person Guan Chen happened to know.

"Yo, ......" Guan Chen greeted politely.

"Ahem!!!!!" Xing Yun coughed so deafening that he almost coughed out his throat.

"You're going to die?" Xing Yan asked with concern, not understanding why his grandson was suddenly like this.

Guan Chen looked at Xing Yun's pleading eyes, and then looked at Xing Yan's reaction, and understood-

It turned out that Mr. Xing didn't know what side hustle his grandson was doing.

"Have you eaten any meals? Would you like to have a bite to eat? Xing Yan asked Guan Chen.

"Okay." Guan Chen put down the fruit and sat down with kindness, just as he came out of the studio and didn't eat dinner.

Xing Yun was very sensible and offered to let him serve the meal.

Guan Chen took the bowl full of rice handed by Xing Yun, and gave a part of the rice to Xing Yan on the grounds of [so much, I can't eat it]. If Xing Yun added something to the meal, then Xing Yan wouldn't be able to run. Seeing that Xing Yun's face had not changed, Guan Chen ate with confidence.

He took out the script from his arms and explained the wording brewed along the way to Xing Yan, saying that the last page of the script was blank, which greatly affected his characterization, and hoped that Xing Yan could guess the general content of the last page, so that he could be sure when he auditioned.

"I also tried the [Big Goal] and [Small Goal] you taught me before, but this page is missing, the [Big Goal] can't be figured out, and the character of the killer can't be established."

Xing Yan was very sophisticated, and said almost the same judgment as Qian Liangyi: "Maybe it's out of secrecy; Maybe the director himself didn't think about how to write it; It may also be that the director deliberately doesn't want the actor to know, thinking that this performance can achieve the effect he wants. ”

Guan Chen was a little disappointed, feeling that Teacher Xing was really useless, and he was about the same level as Qian Liangyi.

Fortunately, Xing Yan took a sip of tea, and the old god provided a third possibility on the spot: "In some scripts, the actors are determined first, and then the roles are perfected. This blank page may be a question for you, and when it's time to audition, ask what you think it will look like. ”

Guan Chen felt that it made sense when he heard it.

He was glad in his heart that he was not fooled by Qian Liangyi!

Xing Yan asked Guan Chen to eat first, and he himself brought reading glasses to put on, and read the script with relish.

Xing Yan roughly went through the script for more than 20 minutes and judged: "[Big Goal] is not difficult. If you don't look at the last page, it's actually quite obvious. ”

Guan Chen immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and clasped his ears with his thumb, which means that he is listening attentively.

"In the creative rules of genre films, the first step is [opening screen], which is used to determine the tone and genre of a movie. The second step is to [clarify the theme], which is generally to use dialogue to explain the theme of the movie. ”

Xing Yan pointed to the second page and said, "Part of the theme has already come out. ”

The second page is two conversations.

One is that the killer called the agent to report the situation after finishing the mission, and the agent praised the killer for completing it beautifully, and one of the sentences was: [It is worthy of the sharpest knife. 】

The other is the mission scene, the remnants of the criminal group who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, through a hidden monitoring at the scene that has not been destroyed by the killers, traces the process of the slaughter of some killers, and some people sigh: [This is completely a killing machine......]

"[Knife], [Machine]. It's all tools. Xing Yan glanced at Guan Chen.

Guan Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had an answer, but there was still something missing.

Xing Yan continued to flip through the script, turned to a certain page, pointed to a certain character on it, and asked Guan Chen: "Have you noticed this character?" ”

Guan Chen took a look, it was the heroine's grandfather. was hospitalized, and the heroine worked everywhere to make money, in order to save for her grandfather's hospitalization.

"Noticed." Guan Chen nodded and asked Xing Yan, "Do you want to act?" ”

"No......" Xing Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Don't want to act? I think Mr. Xing, you are quite suitable to play this role, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and I am ready to recommend you to the director. ”

"Huh? No, no, I think I think...... But that's not the point now! Xing Yan's face changed suddenly, he poked the script with his fingers, and said loudly: "Look at the character setting!" ”

Guan Chen looked over, and he remembered that the heroine's grandfather was in a state of Alzheimer's.

"This character is a small character about [memory]. The main thing is to talk about the importance of memories and experiences in character building. ”

"There is no difference between memories and ordinary moments. It is only when those moments leave scars that people will truly remember them and thus become memories. This scar doesn't have to be left only by sad things, but also by happy ones. Xing Yan said, "After the killer returned to the darkness, remembering the days of living under the sun was a kind of whipping for him. ”

Xing Yan said that instead of distinguishing the state of the killer into [before amnesia], [after amnesia], and [retrieving memory].

It is better to divide into [tool-like asexuality], [only instinctual animal nature], and [human nature that knows good and evil and understands etiquette].

"Obviously, the killer line tells the story of a tool turned into a person."

Xing Yan said: "You said that you don't know what else can make a killer come out of the darkness besides love." In fact, it is very simple, in addition to love, there is also the awakening of the killer's self-consciousness. ”
