Guan Chen opened his eyes without warning, and reached out to turn off the alarm at the moment when the phone just emitted a "tick ......".

In the darkness, his eyes were as clear as two swords, scraping around the room like substance.

When he saw that the black thing with red dots on the wall was actually a camera, Guan Chen relaxed his nerves and put down the pen in his hand.

"I almost forgot." Guan Chen muttered and rubbed his eyes.

Today is the first day of filming "Living Alone".

But several days have passed since I brought Zhou Dao and them over to survey the scenery before. There was almost an accident halfway through.

The four sets of safe houses that Guan Chen took Director Zhou and his party to visit were basically the same except for the house type.

There are complex terrain all around that makes it easy to shake off the enemy;

There are elderly neighbors who are not nosy and take care of their old age;

The exterior walls of the old house have many focus points, including wall tiles, balconies, ring-shaped characteristic railings for drying outside the window, and air conditioning units, which are very convenient to climb up and down;

Inside the house, they are all equally destitute, and it has become a kind of politeness to say that it is shabby.

After Director Zhou brought the results of the location survey back to the TV station, at the meeting the next day, the program producer raised objections, worried that the content filmed in this way would not be good.

The audience looks at the residence of the star with curiosity, essentially wanting to see how the life of the star is different from that of ordinary people, how extravagant, how luxurious, and how full of art. If the celebrity doesn't live as well as ordinary people, this will not meet the audience's expectations.

The producer hopes that Guan Chen will live in the house provided by the program team, with all kinds of furniture, and use some exquisite scripts to show the likable side of the star, and achieve a win-win situation for the artist, the TV station, and the audience. No, plus the advertising sponsors, it's a win-win-win.

However, Director Zhou insisted that celebrities are also people, and people are strange, making the audience feel that "celebrities are also ordinary people", which is the core concept of the show.

The meeting was deadlocked for two days.

The producer appreciates Director Zhou's insistence on art, so he plans to replace Director Zhou and catch an obedient one.

In the final analysis, Director Zhou has just become a small director of a late-night variety show, and his qualifications and status are very shallow, far from the time when he can be "willful" for art.

Although the meaning of "variety show" refers to the art composed of a variety of artistic components. But its commercial attributes are far greater than any kind of art it encompasses.

Guan Chen, who waited left and right and didn't wait for the next shooting notice, after hearing about it from the camera brother, he didn't feel that anyone was right and who was wrong. Whether it is the producer or Director Zhou, he is just seeking his own politics in his position. However, the commercial value has no value to Guan Chen at all, and the likable character design even affects him to teach fans. If Director Zhou is not in charge of "Living Alone", then Guan Chen feels that it is not interesting for him to record this show.

Guan Chen's statement was probably taken as a kind of side and threat, and the producer gave in.

But Director Zhou and Guan Chen both know that once the ratings do not meet expectations, the next time they come to the meeting, it will be a higher superior. In the end, there are only two kinds of results, either Zhou will be directed, or the concept of the program will be changed.

That's why the first shot becomes crucial.

Director Zhou thanked Guan Chen for his righteousness and promised to shoot the show seriously.

Guan Chen became worried, not knowing if he was ordinary enough. He knows very well that being an ordinary person is not easy.

Zhou Daoxin swore to Guan Chen that he didn't think so much, just live as usual.

As usual......

Guan Chen shook his head, stretched, and crawled out of the sleeping bag on the ground. He first walked to the window, opened the heavy curtains, and casually and quickly glanced at the road and the windows of the residents across the street.

There was no one on the street yet, and the days were starting to get shorter and longer in November.

The place where Guan Chen lives now is located in the west of the city. Among the four candidate houses, this one won because it had the advantage of being close to the supermarket in Director Zhou's rental guide.

When Guan Chen walked to the window, a camera next to him turned around and filmed his side face.

"Someone so early?" Guan Chen was a little surprised and said to the camera: "Did you not sleep or did you just get up?" If you haven't slept, you shake your head. ”

The camera pans left and right.

Guan Chen sighed twice, and the feeling of being watched in his heart became stronger. Very unaccustomed.

In the whole house, the program is assembled with more than a dozen cameras, large and small, and there are almost no dead corners in the whole room except for the bathroom.

Guan Chen experienced this kind of environment for the first time, even if he had never been so awkward in prison in his previous life, he fell asleep several times last night and suddenly woke up, and his sleep was extremely unstable.

Guan Chen lay back on his sleeping bag.

Not for the relapse, but for the stretch.

Pose well, starting from the chest and abdomen, and then turn to the shoulders, hips, legs, and insteps, Guan Chen stretched his muscles part by part.

After the muscles are stretched, there are ligaments, and after the ligaments are stretched, there are still joints to move.

"I'm opening my body right now, and I'll check the status by the way." According to Director Zhou's advice, Guan Chen occasionally has to introduce to the camera what he is doing and why he is doing it, "If you treat the body as a machine, every muscle is a part, and if any of them goes wrong, it will affect the final efficiency." Although it is an error of a few tenths of a second, if you don't have a concept in advance, you will be unlucky at the critical moment. ”

It took almost twenty minutes, one ring after another, and Guan Chen's body gradually woke up.

Guan Chen began to sort out his sleeping bag.

He slept on the floor of his bedroom last night. Originally, he wanted to set up a tent to sleep in, so that he could have some privacy and wake up when the enemy unzipped up. But because Guan Chen has the habit of reading books before going to bed, Director Zhou said that he wanted to shoot this, Guan Chen had to take off the tent and sleep in a sleeping bag.

After tidying up the bedroom, Guan Chen put on a sweatshirt casually, and was ready to go out for a run.

There was a commotion in the program team, and the camera brother appeared yawning, wanting to follow Guan Chen.

However, Guan Chen's running route is all kinds of alleys and alleys, the car can't drive in, and the bicycle is not convenient to turn, so let the camera brother run with him, maybe he will make people die suddenly.

"You'd better stay and rest." After Guan Chen finished speaking, after a cigarette turned into a corner, the person ran away.

The program team waited for more than forty minutes before Guan Chen gasped slightly and ran back from across the street behind them, carrying a bunch of breakfast in his hand and distributing it to the staff of the program team.

Breakfast is available in a variety of styles.

There are powder sausages, soup dumplings, egg cakes, and steamed buns......

The staff were flattered and took their breakfast, unaware that they were being treated as test subjects. Guan Chen plans to judge which food has a more prominent taste from everyone's eating speed and micro-expressions, and next time he can eat breakfast directly from that house without any detours.

Guan Chen finished breakfast, washed up, and then planned to go to work.

"Let's go, let's take a picture of my ordinary working life." Guan Chen spoke to the camera with great interest.

Director Zhou had already woken up at this time, and after taking turns to replace the staff on night duty, he followed Guan Chen to take the car of the program team to [Xie Jinzhu's Studio].

……

Guan Chen looked out the window and sighed wistfully, "Originally, I wanted to take the subway to work ordinarily." ”

"Aren't you going to buy your own car? From here to Wedding Street, you have to transfer to the subway line twice. Director Zhou sat in the co-pilot, turned his head and asked Guan Chen.

"I'm not going to buy it yet." Guan Chen shook his head and said:

"I don't know if it's weird to say that, but I like to take the subway.

There are advertisements updated every day on the subway, just like opening a blind box, you never know what form the next advertisement will use and what product will be promoted;

There are also a lot of young people reading and listening to songs in the car, and I sometimes ask them if the books in their hands are good, what songs they are listening to in the headphones, and most of the time, they are very enthusiastic and willing to share with me, and if I say that I have never heard of them, they are not angry, and they will tell me all over again - in addition, when you wear short sleeves in summer, it is the most polite time for everyone;

On Monday mornings, I often saw a few students squatting on the ground to catch up on their homework, they were very pitiful, I couldn't bear to always guide them, and then when I met again, they said that the homework was done when they saw me;

On the rare occasion that you can also meet wandering folk singers, student musicians, wild magicians, craftsmen, and poets who create on the spot, they all seem to be poor and destitute in the passages, hoping that they will last until the short video era in three or five years......

If I drive to and from work and see so many people back and forth, I don't have a chance to meet interesting ordinary people. ”

Guan Chen looked out the window, with the mood of making up for the loss, and kept looking at the scenery and people along the way.

Director Zhou listened quietly and thought to himself, in fact, it is not those people who are interesting, but Guan Chen, who is always curious.

He felt that a person like Guan Chen who lived a serious life was very powerful.

"After that, we'll try to see if we can travel by subway." Director Zhou nodded with admiration, and then asked Guan Chen another question: "What are you going to do next today?" ”

Guan Chen shook the electronic watch on his wrist, very business-elite, "Wait for me to see the itinerary first." He took out a booklet from his pocket and flipped through a few pages, looked at it, and said, "I have two meetings this morning, one in the afternoon, and then I'm going to start taking charge of the new business." ”

Director Zhou was speechless: "It's really busy." ”

Guan Chen hummed and hugged his arms: "I'm also a cadre." ”

Director Zhou feels that with Guan Chen's intelligence, self-discipline, and serious attitude, even if he doesn't act, he will be a first-class elite in the workplace.

So when he heard that Guan Chen was already a leader, Director Zhou was not surprised at all.

After arriving at the wedding street, Guan Chen, a cadre, was not in a hurry to go to work, but took the program team and walked from the street to the end of the street, the purpose of which was to "let them recognize people".

After Guan Chen introduced Director Zhou to the boss of the whole street, it was already more than nine o'clock.

"It's time to go to work." Guan Chen nodded, his eyes narrowed, as if he was not going to a unit, but some kind of thief's den.

Director Zhou followed Guan Chen up to the studio on the second floor.

Push open the door, and the staff inside is already in place.

Guan Chen clapped his hands and shouted as he walked inside: "Everyone put down their work, it's time for a meeting!" ”

It's as if something like this has happened many times.

The staff stood up one after another, with a solemn face, those who were on the phone hung up the phone, and those who typed on the keyboard stopped their hands, as if something big had happened.

Director Zhou didn't know if he should avoid it first, in case he photographed other people's trade secrets, it would always be troublesome.

"It's okay, just come along." Guan Chen beckoned to the camera.

Director Zhou took the camera and followed with confidence.

The cleaned up warehouse was used as a conference room temporarily. All the staff stood in a circle shoulder to shoulder.

Guan Chen stood in the middle of the circle, turned around, and examined the faces of each employee.

"Again, it's important to be brave enough to say what you really want to say." Guan Chen said solemnly: "Because some words are not used to represent you, but to shape you." ”

The staff nodded, clenching their fists.

"Now, let's start the first meeting." Guan Chen said.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Guan Chen nervously.

Director Zhou was also made solemn by the atmosphere.

"The topic of the first meeting, how to get my birthday party, is interesting." Guan Chen said.

The staff gasped, as if they had never encountered such a problem in their short careers.

But some staff members have adapted to Guan Chen's devastation after a year of natural selection.

A staff member said, "Auction, let everyone grab your belongings, or the opportunity to eat with you." ”

Another clerk: "Set up a charity casino, and donate all the proceeds." ”

Another staff member shouted: "Team building, go to Iceland to see the aurora!" ”

One is more outrageous than the other.

However, Director Zhou just thought so in his heart, but when he turned his head, he saw that Guan Chen took a whiteboard, nodded his head, and carefully wrote every suggestion on it, thinking it was very good.

"......" Director Zhou was stunned, and he didn't know what the situation was now.

Guan Chen then began to announce the second topic: "What flavor to choose for the birthday cake." ”

The staff immediately raised their hands.

"Chocolate."

"Matcha."

"Strawberry flavor!"

"What is this? What is it? Director Zhou looked around blankly, waiting for someone to laugh, "It's a prank, right?" Right? Hahahaha......"

However, everyone's faces were calm, and no one smiled. There are even people who stare at Director Zhou with "you are excessive" eyes.

Director Zhou was speechless and choked.

"Okay, everybody make a note of the options, vote within today, and write down the reasons. Send it to me in an email before you get off work. Guan Chen saw that there was nothing wrong with everyone, and clapped his hands: "Disband!" ”

Everyone came out in a row.

Only Guan Chen and the program team were left in the conference room.

Director Zhou: "Those two meetings ......"

"It's over." Guan Chen looked at his watch and nodded with satisfaction, "Today's efficiency is good, it only took three minutes." ”

Director Zhou prepared to smile, still feeling that Guan Chen was playing tricks.

But Guan Chen never smiled and said it was a joke.

Director Zhou walked out of the conference room with a frozen face. I found that the staff were getting together in twos and threes to talk about the two topics just now. They canvassed for votes, threatened for threats, and tendered for tenderness. There were also a few people arguing over whether matcha was better or chocolate.

No one is doing a serious job......

Is this really an adult workplace???

Zhou was born out of professionalism, and strongly suspected that what was in front of him was a prank that had been arranged in advance.

There must be a camera hiding somewhere.

With this thought, Director Zhou walked around the studio.

Suddenly, Director Zhou saw that behind a desk against the wall, there was a chubby middle-aged man sitting motionless on a recliner with his forehead covered, covered with vicissitudes all over his body, as if he had been sitting there in the last century. In front of the table is the job card of [General Manager].

If Director Zhou remembers correctly, he heard Guan Chen introduce this manager, saying that this manager is the best at pretending to be sick and asking for leave, which made Guan Chen very headache.

Director Zhou slowly approached the manager Qian with the camera, and vaguely heard a human-like voice saying, "It's okay...... Afternoon...... And left...... Never mind...... Hahahaha......"

This acting is not good, I laughed...... Director Zhou found the answer with satisfaction.
