In addition to helping the actor find job opportunities and help the actor audition succeed, the subsequent salary negotiation, the actor's food, clothing, housing and transportation during the filming, the publicity itinerary after filming, and even the order of the name in the poster are also the work of the agent.

Xing Yun doesn't know Guan Chen, and he doesn't want to know, he is not Guan Chen's agent at all, and he can go to Holly's house in person to relay the news of the successful audition after the crew can't contact Guan Chen, so the next negotiation and signing the contract have to let Guan Chen's real agent come.

Qian Liangyi couldn't rely on it now, so he had to fly from the magic capital to the capital early in the morning.

"It's very easy, the salary is between 1.5 million and 2 million, and the rest of the accommodation and travel are casual, Guan Chen is very easy to deal with, and he has no requirements for these. When it comes to publicity, as long as you remember one thing, you can fill it up. He is often idle to death after filming, and he can't wait to find something to do. He doesn't care about the order of the names on the poster...... "Qian Liangyi told Xing Yun about his experience when he signed the contract for "The Story of the Police" on behalf of Guan Chen last time, and his words were serious, like trusting orphans.

"There's no point in telling me this." Xing Yun looked down at his phone and ignored Qian Liangyi.

Qian Liangyi was not discouraged. He thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher Xing also tried a role, right?" ”

Xing Yun nodded. While Guan Chen and Holly were playing together, other characters in "Key to Destiny" were also auditioning in an orderly manner. Compared with the protagonist candidates who need to consider a lot, the candidates for supporting roles are easier to determine. Xing Yan was originally not on the shortlist of [Killer Agent], but about Chen's relationship, the script was read, and the video was handed over, so he got a chance. The audition results haven't come out yet, but it's only been a few days.

"Guan Chen has been selected, Director Tian has watched the video of them rehearsing together, and the success rate of Teacher Xing being selected is also very large." Qian Liangyi said.

The chemistry between actors is also a kind of metaphysics. Some actors play couples, no matter how much they love, the audience doesn't feel it, and some just stand together, and the audience eats this couple very much.

Guan Chen and Xing Yan are masters and apprentices in reality, and the relationship between the killer and the agent in the story is convincing.

Xing Yun nodded again, indicating that he also knew this truth.

"The tax on individual actors is as high as 40 percent, which is about half of the salary. It's better to let Mr. Xing be attached to our studio, which can save a lot. The studio does not charge any handling fees. Qian Liangyi put on a kind expression and gave advice.

"Our performance training class is also a company with complete documents, so there is no need to bother."

"How can it be troublesome, not only is it not trouble, but it is a win-win situation. Teacher Xing has been in retreat for many years, and this time he has been a blockbuster if he goes out of the mountain, and then other job opportunities continue to come up, and the acting class can avoid taxes, but the operation is obviously not good. If the three people in Xing's class can get together, share the team, and exchange resources, just like this time, Guan Chen got a good script, and there are roles suitable for Teacher Xing, and they can increase the number of ...... "The picture described by Qian Liangyi is very beautiful. The acting class is responsible for discovering and cultivating talents, and the studio is responsible for operating talents, and then investing in the production company in the future to form a complete set of upstream and downstream, vowing to make Xingjiaban bigger and stronger, and make it a tyrant in the entertainment industry.

"Enough, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." However, Xing Yun didn't eat this set at all.

"My grandfather is attached to your studio, then I am also working in the studio indirectly, there are only a few agents in the studio now, and one day Guan Chen is going to work, Brother Zhu is not available, you pretend to be sick again, and then you can justifiably throw the trouble to me." Once there was a second time, and over time, I became his agent. Xing Yun sneered, saying that he had long seen through Qian Liangyi's wolf ambitions.

"Tsk." Qian Liangyi turned his back and slapped his tongue fiercely. Damn it! I was unexpectedly recognized!

Qian Liangyi picked up the fritters he had just bought at the breakfast shop at the fast closing stall and took a hard bite.

They were standing in front of an old building on the side of the road.

This is where the Hawley family of three lived.

Guan Chen received the news of the successful audition yesterday, and then stayed for another night, squeezing out the last bit of academic course knowledge on Holly, and officially said goodbye to their family this morning.

"Just send it here, my people are coming." Guan Chen stopped Hawley.

Holly looked at Qian Liangyi and Xing Yun, a little dazed, he always thought that Xing Yun was Guan Chen's agent, but when he looked at it today, he didn't expect someone else. Could it be that Xing Yun is Guan Chen's assistant? But the hair color and the lip nails are too arrogant...... And he also knows the head snake of Changping Cinema, and the introducers of their tricks some time ago are all his friends...... Is there such a powerful assistant?

Qian Liangyi took the initiative to greet Holly: "I am his boss." ”

Hawley was at ease. It turns out that one is an agent and the other is a boss~

At this time, Guan Chen took a few steps forward, handed Xing Yun the bag containing a few clothes and a few books, and then turned to Qian Liangyi and said, "I forgot to take a book upstairs in the toilet, you go to the dessert shop in front of me to buy a cake first, I want to eat it on the way." Don't forget their milk tea, add red beans, and remember to tell the clerk to have less sugar. ”

After Guan Chen finished speaking, he patted Qian Liangyi on the shoulder, turned around and went upstairs to get the book he had missed.

Qian Liangyi was silent for a few seconds, and explained to Holly with a dry smile: "Hehe, he is really good at guessing." I can see that I just feel that I am not full for breakfast, and I want to buy some cake and milk tea to eat......"

Hawley was once again confused.

Ten minutes later, Guan Chen drank the milk tea bought by Qian Liangyi and waved goodbye to Holly.

Hawley's wife is doing research at school, and his son is in kindergarten, so only Hawley, who is squatting at home, comes to see him off.

The past few days of sleeping and studying together have been very rewarding for Guan Chen.

After Hawley's training, Guan Chen will not be powerless when he plays an ordinary person now. He can retrieve the corresponding expressions and movements from his memory bank, and use a series of [choices] that he thinks to construct an ordinary person. Even if it is a kind, elegant, and in love role, he can play these.

But the flaws of this method are also obvious, because Guan Chen can't find a "bridge" between the character and himself, and he can't integrate, because he feels strange in his heart, his sense of belief is zero, and he can't reach the so-called third stage.

Hawley's advice can only be to experience more, live more, and see more people. "If you find that you don't have something in common with the character, look around and see if anyone you know is approaching the character you're playing, observe his actions, and try to understand him." Hawley said that there are no secrets to the art of acting, everything you want to know and should know is hanging out there, waiting for you to discover.

In addition, two of Holly's latest scripts were obtained. One was given at the time of meeting, and the other was written these days.

Sitting in the car going to the production company of "Key to Destiny", Qian Liangyi casually flipped through the script that Holise gave Guan Chen, and after a cursory look, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be so good.

Qian Liangyi covered the script, looked at the cover, confirmed the name of the creator, and then continued to read. "It's a bit of a good thing." He said.

Guan Chen ate the cake and nodded as a matter of course: "He's a college student!" ”

Qian Liangyi glanced at Guan Chen with the eyes of observing insects.

"That Hawley was on a scholarship all the time in school. He also won a gold medal in the school's work competition. Xing Yun, who was sitting in the co-pilot, supplemented the information he had gathered from other places.

"That's amazing." Qian Liangyi was surprised. After learning that it was Modu University of the Arts, he, as an industry insider, knew its weight, and he was even more staggered. In the end, he just shook his head, "It's a pity." It's no wonder that you stuff the script and don't take it to the investment and creation meetings of competitions and film festivals. ”

"What do you mean?" Guan Chen didn't understand.

"Because he's a foreigner." Xing Yun said.

It's just a few words, but it seems to explain a lot.

Guan Chen also understood.

He felt that it was really not easy for Hawley. When he was in the United States, he was denied and beaten by his family, and when he came here, he encountered prejudice and discrimination, as if everything in the world was persuading him to give up. Even so, he didn't say that he wanted to give up the movie and pack his things and go back to his hometown. Sometimes he was sad and cried a few times secretly, but he said that he never thought of quitting this business.

Guan Chen asked him why. Hawley said that although he cried, he cried because he felt sorry for his wife and children, did not make their lives better, and caused them to suffer with him. As for the movie, he has never regretted choosing this path. Because he has been obedient since he was a child, he is a good child, he does whatever others say, and many times he doesn't like it or say it, but everyone wants him to do that, and he doesn't dare to say no. It wasn't until he was in high school that he rehearsed a skit at the theatrical gala, stood on the edge of the stage, watched his classmates read out the lines he wrote, and listened to his instructions to do actions and expressions, while the audience stared intently, crying and laughing with the characters he created, he never understood so clearly that he was going to do something.

Guan Chen felt that Holly was really powerful.

Even if he doesn't have much money now, even if he hasn't shot anything now, Guan Chen respects such a person.

"I see." Guan Chen held the script and felt that the script in his hand was heavy. "He gave me the script because he wanted to submit it in my name, to participate in some competition, and to get some kind of investment and innovation meeting, right?"

"Not really!" Qian Liangyi's body was shocked, and the car also fell with him.

"Isn't it?" Guan Chen was surprised.

"You're a crime...... Xing Yun held his forehead, "He hopes to attract you with a script, and when you become famous in the future, whether you want to invest or act, there is no shortage of investment." Whether you recommend him as a director or use his script to make him a screenwriter is a way out. In our circle, the most important thing is to have works, and for foreigners like him, it means even more. ”

Guan Chen suddenly realized.

"That's not to say, cover him later." Guan Chen is very conscious of being a big brother, and feels a little happy that he has a little brother who needs to worry about and take care of.

Xing Yun and Qian Liangyi silently made up their minds that on Guan Chen's road to fame, they must not show themselves. When you go back, you must throw the burden on the other party.

The production company of "Key to Destiny" is in Changping, not too far from Hawley's home, and it only takes nearly an hour's drive to reach the destination.

At ten o'clock in the company, the air was a little restless. Those who are far-sighted have already begun to think about what to eat for lunch.

Guan Chen was guided to the conference room.

Qian Liangyi was the main force, Xing Yun was studying, and Guan Chen said that he was going to find Tian Dao to collect homework.

However, he quietly found the office with the ["Destiny Key"] sign on it, only to find that there was no Tian Dao inside, only a few other shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

A large conference table is covered with white paper and booklets, and there are several sliding whiteboards on the side, on which are drawn complex relationship diagrams and the personalities of each character. As for the walls, there are some storyboards with simple lines.

Seeing Guan Chen's sudden incursion, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were a little surprised, and subconsciously wanted to drive out unrelated personnel.

But after seeing that it was Guan Chen, he seemed to know that Guan Chen was the candidate who had been determined, so he relaxed again. There is an image of the [Killer] on a whiteboard, which is drawn according to Guan Chen.

After Guan Chen entered, he carefully inspected each cabinet and drawer, looked at the floor of the table, and then looked at the style of the ceiling.

Everyone didn't know what he was doing, but looking at Guan Chen's solemn face, they didn't dare to stop him.

Guan Chen closed the lid of the last carton, sighed, turned his head and asked everyone, "What about Director Tian?" ”

[It turned out that I was looking for Director Tian ......] This sentence came out of everyone's hearts at the same time.

A second later, the next sentence popped up in everyone's hearts: [I was actually looking for Director Tian!] Why do you look in the drawers of the desk and in the cardboard box? 】

"You come on." Guan Chen saw that someone's eyes fluctuated a lot, so he asked her to speak by name.

"Ah......" Shrimp Bingjia was startled, stabilized the complaint he blurted out, and said, "Director Tian went to survey the scene." ”

"I actually absconded in fear of crime." Guan Chen was a little disappointed, and thought that he could take back the answer to the assignment about [What is a good person] last time.

Shrimp Bingjia blinked, not knowing whether to react to Guan Chen's joke or not.

"Did he say anything?" Guan Chen asked.

Shrimp Soldier Armor thought for a moment. Tian Dao is a living person, and before leaving, he naturally said a lot of things, such as the scene he chose before suddenly faced demolition, and Tian Dao was very angry when he knew it; Another example is that an actor leaked the script during an interview, and Director Tian was very angry when he found out...... Thinking about it, there shouldn't be a sentence in it for Guan Chen. So Shrimp Soldier Armor shook his head.

"What about the new script? Is there a new script? Guan Chen felt that Director Tian might have left the answer in the script.

However, Shrimp Soldier A found the script for Guan Chen, and Guan Chen flipped through it, and this one, like the one in his hand, was only the fourth draft.

Guan Chen couldn't hide his disappointment, and finally turned around the room, and there was no clue on the wall, on the paper, or on the whiteboard.

Guan Chen left, returned to the negotiation room, and just arrived at the meal, they came out to prepare for dinner.

Guan Chen greeted the group, including the producer he had met at the audition.

The producer stopped Guan Chen and handed over a book: "Director Tian told me, if you come, I'll give you this." I wanted to give it to you inside, but you didn't get in. ”

Guan Chen didn't expect that the thing he was looking for would be on this person, so he hurriedly took it.

Touching the touch of fresh paper, Guan Chen intuitively guessed that it was a revised script.

As a result, I looked at the cover with excitement -

["Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective"]

Guan Chen looked at the producer with a smile, and the producer also looked at Guan Chen with a smile in his eyes.

Guan Chen laughed a few times, saying that you are quite humorous, but I have already laughed with face, give me the new script.

"Director Tian asked me to give this to you, saying that this is the answer." Said the producer.

After Guan Chen confirmed that it was not a joke, the expression on his face was almost distorted.

……

After seeing Guan Chen and his party go to the cafeteria, the producer called Director Tian, and after connecting, he said, "The book was given to him." ”

On the phone, Director Tian asked, "What is his reaction after reading it?" ”

"I don't know yet. He wasn't there during the meeting, so it was noon when the notebook was given to him, and he took it to the cafeteria now, and he couldn't see a reaction. Said the producer.

"But you really wrote that hilarious script."

The producer saw the script for this joke. Although the name is a spoof, the core inside is very interesting. Carnivores and herbivores can symbolize both male and female, class, race, or group. As the heir of the [Bull Demon King], the red child is a herbivore, but his strength is comparable to that of a carnivore.

If there is no awe-inspiring power, then there is no morality in the person's self-restraint; If there is no ability to be violent, then the gentleness of the person is not a virtue.

There is so much room for discussion about the relationship between the jungle and the jungle.

The producer almost wanted Director Tian to write this script well and make it the next work.

"Originally, I just passed the time and wrote casually," Tian Dao said, "but he asked me what a good person was, and I just happened to write it, so I wrote it casually." ”

The producer nodded, he also knew about it.

Guan Chen revised his lines during the audition, leaving the question of "What is a good person", Guan Chen said that he wanted to know how Director Tian would pick up next time he met.

In the story of "Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective", although Red Boy has been educated by Guanyin for nearly a thousand years, although his heart has changed, he is good, and he knows to do good things, but his nature is still an innocent naughty boy who has been at home for thousands of years.

These things and words fell into the eyes of the carnivores who saw Red Child as a threat, and they were all handles and weapons against Red Child.

Staring at what a person has said and done, over time, there will always be flaws, as long as the fault is magnified and magnified, then there is no perfect good person in the world. Because no one stands up to such scrutiny.

The lines between good guys and bad guys are fun.

Tian Dao said: "Where are the standards of good people. If you really want to define it, it just depends on who he thinks about it. ”

The producer said with a smile: "Guan Chen studied literature at Yunman University, and after reading the book, you may feel that your answer is rough and superficial." ”

……

Canteen.

Qian Liangyi ordered a meal for Guan Chen and just waited for Guan Chen to come.

Xing Yun watched Guan Chen sit down and asked him, "Have you got the answer?" ”

"Got it." Guan Chen nodded, and began to look at it while eating.

After a while, everyone finished eating, and Guan Chen was still watching, but he watched it quickly, and it was finished in a few clicks.

"How?"

"Huh." Guan Chen sneered.

Xing Yun knew the answer.

"He couldn't think of an answer, so he wanted to bribe me with this script so that I wouldn't hold him accountable for not completing his homework." Guan Chen looked depressed: "But this script ...... It can't be said to be a script, it's just a story picture book. It's a red boy again, and it's a black cat detective, it's weird, and I don't understand what I'm talking about! ”
