Guan Chen's intuition rarely makes mistakes, and Lao Zhang's eyes when he looked at him were indeed scrutinizing.

Recently, "Police Story" has been promoted with great momentum and has become the focus of the industry.

Some movies are of low quality, and before the release, if the distribution company wants not to lose money, it will rely on marketing to make up for it, and blow it out of the blue, such as a slow rhythm is not called slow rhythm, but called [epic], if the editing is not good, it is called "original", and the boring plot is [concise story], in addition, the friendship between the actors will be taken out to talk about, in short, the audience can be deceived into the theater one by one.

But "Police Story", from the trailer to the interview, all reveal the confidence of the filmmaker.

In an interview a few days ago, Zhang Jingsheng praised two people, one is director Chen Bin, and the other is actor Guan Chen. Praising newcomers is nothing to Zhang Jingsheng, his gentleness is well known, and there are few bad words for others. But what is different from the past is that Zhang Jingsheng did not hide his optimism about Guan Chen, self-discipline and hard work are the basic ethics of actors, and he was brushed aside, focusing on praising Guan Chen's spirituality in performance, "I felt like I was really confronting the bandits several times", "I thought the director had found someone from prison to act", "If I were only thirty years old now, I might not be able to catch his play", praised his talent, and said that he had recommended Guan Chen to Director Tian and was currently filming Director Tian's new play. This is to show that his love for Guan Chen is by no means polite.

This interview is quite dangerous, because it will raise the audience's expectations, and if you find that the film is average and the performance is average after watching the movie, it will usher in a backlash. It is impossible for Zhang Jingsheng not to know this, but he still pressed his reputation and was very confident.

This made people inside and outside the industry have a strong curiosity about Guan Chen.

And Lao Zhang's time to notice Guan Chen was much earlier than most people.

To some extent, it can be said that without him, there would be no Guan Chen today.

Last year, when "Police Story" was still casting, an agent friend of Lao Zhang set his sights on the role of [Wu Ze]. After learning that it was a related household that got the role, Lao Zhang was responsible for making ideas, and his friend was responsible for executing, and the two teamed up to make a game against that relational household. The plan went smoothly, the backyard of the gold owner caught fire and he couldn't take care of himself, and the related households had no more to rely on, and he was bombed by several waves of sailors in turn, and after his mentality collapsed, he could only spit out the characters who ate it. At the end of the plan, a friend took a shot and recommended his actor - an actor who is cheap, has acting skills, has an empty schedule, and has never forgotten the role, has been pondering the script, and continues to work out - to the producer who has been in touch with him to seize the role.

originally thought it was a matter of nine out of ten, but I didn't expect to be suddenly notified by the producer that the crew had finalized another actor.

The name Guan Chen appeared in Lao Zhang's field of vision.

Behind the scenes in this industry, there are often times when the bamboo basket is empty.

But it's always unpleasant to be cut off. Especially after seeing Guan Chen's photo, his friend was immediately angry and shouted that he had been deceived by this grandson.

Lao Zhang was interested, thinking that he had met another team doing the game, and checked Guan Chen's background, he was a little confused, it turned out to be an artist who did not enter the wedding company, the boss and the only artist with a surname, but it was only Xie Jinzhu.

At the request of his friend, Lao Zhang was ready to make a move on Guan Chen. changed actors one after another, and the crew was actually not willing to toss, but Xie Jinzhu's studio on the opposite side had no money and no background, and this time it was equivalent to picking up a big bargain for nothing, even if he couldn't spit out the role again, it would be good to find some trouble for Guan Chen.

However, after a phone call with her sister, his wife said that one of Xiao Xiong's high school classmates, who is also an actor, has recently acted with Zhang Jingsheng, which is really amazing.

Lao Zhang inexplicably remembered that person. asked the name, and sure enough, it was Guan Chen.

Lao Zhang felt troublesome, but he didn't feel that he couldn't do it, he had an ordinary relationship with his wife's family, so there was no need to scruple.

The wife then said that Xiao Xiong ran to be an actor, which had made his father very unhappy, and now Guan Chen came out, with their relationship, Xiao Xiong may not have to be nagged by his father in the future.

……

Guan Chen felt that Xiao Xiong was right, this old chapter was really unpleasant, and his eyes were full of mercy [I let you go, thank me], which made people very unhappy.

He didn't plan to communicate too much with Lao Zhang, and the other party seemed to plan to do the same. The two looked at each other aside.

"Congratulations, the movie is coming soon." Xiong Ruojin congratulated Guan Chen.

Guan Chen was sitting precariously and said that it would be released next month, and if he wanted to go to the premiere, he still had tickets there.

"He's going to be a big star from now on." Xiao Xiong patted Guan Chen's shoulder, looking very relieved.

"In the future, if you want to find someone to borrow money, just look for me!" Guan Chen made a promise with great pride. In his world, in addition to risking his life to give his life, borrowing money is the second righteous thing.

When he said this, he didn't think much about it, under what circumstances did the Xiong family need to borrow money from him as an outsider? Only when there is a major change in the family, and no one can come up with the money.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiong and Xiong Ruojin didn't mind the subtext behind this sentence.

"I really think so." Xiong Ruojin blinked.

"Seriously, though." Guan Chen nodded.

Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and couldn't help but dismantle the stage: "You can replace your team first." ”

"What do you mean?" Guan Chen was angry, feeling that he had been insulted, he was not the kind of person who gave up his little brother after having money and living a good life, "The real morality of the rivers and lakes is not the kind of play that of "Black Dragon 1: War Dragon in the Wild". ”

"That's right, that's right, Brother Chen is very righteous." Xiao Xiong nodded on the side: "It's not like "Black Dragon 2: Dragon Warriors". ”

Guan Chen glanced at her with appreciation, and added: "It's not the kind of "Black Dragon 3: Hidden Dragon in the Abyss". ”

"It's not Black Dragon 4: ......"

"Enough for the two of you." Lao Zhang's eyes coldly interrupted the two of them to sing and harmonize, and the aura of the social elite was almost unbearable. When he's stupid? When will the fourth part of "Black Dragon" be filmed?

Xiong Ruojin seemed to like seeing such a scene very much, holding her daughter's hand and smiling secretly, her eyes were full of water.

"If you want to go up, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to change the team. Because they have limited abilities and can't keep up with you. Lao Zhang explained that if it was another company, its new actors would have encountered such a start, and they would compete with Zhang Jingsheng on the same stage when they debuted, and they were praised by Zhang Jingsheng, and their acting skills aroused public discussion, and then they became the protagonists in Director Tian's new play, and the team behind them should have gone to big brands to talk about advertising and endorsements, and when the movie was released, all parties worked together, the momentum exploded, and the commercial value came directly to the second-tier level. But now, the team behind Guan Chen has not made any moves, and its ability to develop the artist's business is almost negative, Lao Zhang looks very disgusted, "Your team is wasting opportunities." ”

"You investigated me?" Guan Chen's focus is first and foremost on this.

"Don't be too self-righteous, the circle is so big, and everyone has been saying that Xie Jinzhu stepped on shit recently." Lao Zhang said.

"Then I'll just talk to my agent." Guan Chen didn't think it was a big deal.

"Lack of capacity means that even if you tell them, they don't meet the requirements." Lao Zhang's expression was indifferent. There is no doubt that if there is such a person under him, he will definitely fire the other party.

Guan Chen felt the unkindness described by Xiao Xiong, and didn't like the feeling of calculating every friendship, he said: "That's okay, I'm not interested in advertising, just get paid." The salary of a movie is the income of ordinary people for several years, and they are content. ”

Lao Zhang nodded and stopped talking. In my heart, I only think that Guan Chen has no brains, and it is pointless to persuade fools. But what makes him depressed is that Guan Chen's attitude of not seeking progress has put an end to the possibility of taking Xiao Xiong to a high place in the future, Xiao Xiong has not improved as an actor, and the old guy Daddy Xiong will talk endlessly when the time comes, and even Xiong Ruojin, who encourages Xiao Xiong to pursue his interests, will be complained, saying that the eldest sister does not look like an eldest sister.

"Can I go in?" Daddy Vulture finished his cigarette and came over to ask.

Xiong Ruojin nodded, took Xiao Budian's hand, and prepared to take everyone to the backstage to eat something first.

The group walked towards the concert hall.

Guan Chen keenly noticed that Daddy Xiong and Lao Zhang's aura was not so harmonious.

"What's going on with the two of them? Quarreled before? Guan Chen grabbed the bear and asked quietly.

Xiao Xiong whispered to Guan Chen that his father and Lao Zhang had never quarreled, but they were disgusted with each other. Dad doesn't like Lao Zhang, he is idle, and he always makes some indiscreet friends, so he has always disagreed with his sister marrying him, and then his sister became pregnant, and Lao Zhang also found a serious job as an agent in [Aidu], Dad had to agree, but he still didn't like it. After getting married, my sister's family of three settled in the magic capital, and only during the tour and winter and summer vacations, would they take their children back to Beijing as appropriate.

Guan Chen was very angry after hearing this, this was obviously what he was worried about before, girls have always been required to be obedient and obedient, and if they have no opinions, they will be easy to attach themselves to the man who leads her in the future.

Guan Chen looked at Xiao Xiong, worried that she would follow in the footsteps of Xiong Da, and finally was attracted by Lao Zhang, an unreliable gangster.

Ahead, they came to the lounge backstage, not the kind of makeup and change clothes.

The person who seemed to be very powerful and was called Tan Nian, Guan Chen didn't see it. There were only a few of Xiong's other colleagues inside.

Xiong Ruojin seems to have a very high status in the orchestra, and everyone came over to say hello to Xiao Budian and Daddy Xiong.

The hungry little one finally ate the snack, chewing two biscuits in his mouth, making his cheeks bulge on both sides, and with big black grape-like eyes, like a small animal. "Isn't it cute?" She asked the bear.

"Red pandas are cute. Not for baby raccoons. The bear retorted, and pushed the food into his mouth as hard as he could.

Guan Chen suspected that Xiao Xiong was just looking for an excuse to grab snacks from the children.

Two clones with similar IQs, one large and one small, play well and have a good atmosphere.

However, the old chapter said: "If you want others to like it, it will be more cute to have a frisbee in your mouth." ”

Papa Bear stared at Lao Zhang coldly like a vulture. Lao Zhang pretended not to see it. Xiong Ruojin had no choice but to take a picture of Lao Zhang.

Guan Chen sighed, thinking that it was no wonder that Xiao Xiong would rather work than go home during the Chinese New Year.

Is this family...... Guan Chen secretly observed, took out a booklet to record, and thought that if he played the role of a family member in the future, maybe the family in front of him could be used as a reference.

……

The national concert is very different from what Guan Chen heard when he listened to the singer's performance on the TV station before.

Xiong Ruojin changed into a performance costume, and the light shone on her perfectly curved neck and shoulders, not overflowing or sensational, and her skin was so elegant that it seemed to be a fairy.

In the audience, Guan Chen also saw a lot of children, he thought that these children were forced by adults, but the children's faces were full of expectation and excitement, and he heard a few children actually say that they want to become a musician as their life goal. Guan Chen was shocked. Music teacher Papa Xiong despised his fuss, saying that this is the result of the popularization of basic music education, not everyone wants to sing and become a star, and learning a musical instrument is to enrich their lives.

The mean Lao Zhang on the side listened to it, as if talking to himself, the proportion of piano musicians and guzheng musicians marrying into wealthy families and becoming rich wives is not small. In other words, learning a musical instrument is also a way out of life.

Father Xiong immediately quarreled with Lao Zhang, and the two did not stop until the performance began. Little Bear and his niece seem to be used to such scenes, and the two of them stick together, giggling and chatting about other things.

The first time Guan Chen listened to such a concert, he thought that he would fall asleep listening to such a traditional thing, or he would not have the patience to listen to it, but after listening to it, he found it unexpectedly interesting.

The instruments are traditional, but this orchestra with Tan Nian at its core is young.

Among the repertoire performed by Tan Nian, there are all Chinese music, some Chinese music that integrates Western instruments, and some that are full of Western instruments.

Guan Chen also heard Xiong Ruojin's true level - although he couldn't hear the difference, but as the principal, Xiong Ruojin had his own solo time, and even if Guan Chen was a music blind, he knew her power from the dense and smooth notes.

When it came to the last piece, the orchestra played a trick. As the performance continued, each part finished playing its own part, and then left the stage in turn, leaving the other musicians to continue playing on stage. The audience watched the depressed expressions of the musicians on the stage, listened to the music, and guessed which instrument was saved for the end.

At the end of the performance, the backstage was very lively, with flower delivery, interviews, and shooting. Guan Chen couldn't squeeze in, so they simply waited outside.

After listening to the performance, Guan Chen planned to go back to the crew and not go to dinner with them.

"See you next time you go back to the magic capital!" The bear waved goodbye to him.

Before Guan Chen turned around, Daddy Xiong glanced at him. Guan Chen read the meaning, about the little bear, you think about it clearly.

Lao Zhang also glanced at him, and the meaning in his eyes was that the matter of the team, you should think about it yourself.

Guan Chen walked towards the subway station, his steps were very slow, and his heart was a little heavy.
