Chapter 199: Pain
"New company? Sorry, not interested. Next. ”
The pimp brother Xing Yun waved his hand, asking Guan Chen to move his position like a door-to-door salesman, so as not to block the guests behind.
"Wait!" Guan Chen was unexpected, and hurriedly persuaded further: "Can you secretly pimp for a lifetime?" Hurry up and learn from me, our new company is the most suitable for people with a history like you! It's never too late to stop the precipice! ”
"Poof...... What are you talking about! Xing Yun almost sprayed chewing gum on Guan Chen's face.
"Come on, now I am a veteran of the company, and I will become a partner directly after working for a year." Guan Chen is kind and inducing.
"Let's find another job." Xing Yun obviously didn't want to wade into this troubled water.
"We [Hsinchu Film and Television] are a united and friendly family, and when we come in, we are brothers, sharing blessings and difficulties! No matter what problem you have, you can come to me! If there is a problem in the family, they will also come to me, and the organization will not sit idly by......"
Guan Chen tried to impress Xing Yun in terms of treatment.
However......
"Hsinchu, Hsinchu Gang...... Don't you even bother to hide it now? Xing Yun muttered to himself, his face solemn as if he had just unearthed cultural relics.
Guan Chen still enthusiastically expounded the corporate culture of the new company, what "will never treat the heroes", what "the contribution organization has paid in the eyes, and the company will be responsible for pension and retirement in the future".
Xing Yun closed his eyes and settled down, not listening, not talking, not sad or happy, and made up his mind to treat Guan Chen's words as a fart.
The surrounding students listened quietly, but they were very interested in the production company made by Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu, the two [outstanding students of the Xingjia class].
After Guan Chen finished his speech, he was about to continue to persuade Xing Yun, but unexpectedly, the surrounding students couldn't help it and rushed up.
"Brother Chen, where can I put my resume?"
"Senior brother, senior brother, is the new company recruiting actors? Screenwriters are fine, I can write scripts! Assistants are OK too! ”
"Mr. Guan, I am good at opera, drama, Peking opera, Kunqu...... I'll give you a paragraph, [Good day beautiful scenery is no day~~]"
"Brother Chen, sign me a name......
Guan Chen couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm, and while signing the autograph, he asked everyone to pay more attention to his Weite, and the recruitment advertisement will be posted on the Internet at that time.
Turning his head to look at Xing Yun's stupid appearance pretending to be asleep, Guan Chen knew that he would not be able to dig up people for a while.
He didn't recruit people casually. First of all, you have to be loyal, and secondly, you have to have a skill. Like Holly, Black Guide, and Little Bear, they are good to stand the test.
Xing Yun is Guan Chen's favorite reserve subordinate.
Although there was not much contact, Guan Chen was deeply impressed by Xing Yun - he obviously looked like he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he was angry, but he was unexpectedly not stupid. Once Xing Yun went to the crew of "Police" to woo Wu Meng, and by the way, he ran away with Duan Xiaofeng's mother and son who tried to change the play, and once went to Beijing to participate in the audition of "Key to Destiny", and was able to check and fill in the gaps and tell Guan Chen some knowledge about patriarchy.
Moreover, Xing Yun is also the agent that Guan Chen booked for Xiaoxiong.
Guan Chen is ready to learn from Liu Bei, and he will also take down Xing Yun after three visits to the thatched house.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you'll change your mind." Guan Chen left such a sentence gloomily, and then ignored Xing Yun's panicked questioning, turned around and left.
The students around him followed Guan Chen step by step, chattering for autographs and group photos, and at the same time, they did not forget to promote themselves.
Most of the students in the acting class are people who have gone out into society, and they have understood that opportunities are seized, not waited.
Guan Chen once asked Old Man Xing curiously, why didn't he hire some actors from professional classes, and then make money for art candidates. An art candidate's tuition fee ranges from 50,000 to 300,000 yuan a year, and with the teaching level and faculty of their Xing Yan training class, it is not a problem to receive 100,000 yuan a year.
But Old Man Xing shook his head and said that it is not so simple, the business of art examination training is almost monopolized by art schools, and there needs to be relationships, test questions, and test-taking skills. It's another way to play.
Guan Chen was a pity, and his ambition to lay a foundation in a high school student's acting class had to be disappointed.
After not coming to the acting class for a while, Guan Chen found that there were some new changes here.
Since Guan Chen's live sign passed "Police", the acting class has expanded its scale and merged the upstairs venue.
After the renovation was completed, it was divided into [ordinary class] and [refresher class], one for amateur students and one for stars in the industry.
On this floor, the hall where the registration is handled is still full of photos of Old Man Xing and the stars, but the furniture has been replaced with new ones, and it is finally no longer shabby.
There are hired teachers posted on the teacher's column, each of which has a string of works, and the teacher resources can be described as abundant, most of which are like Wu Meng, who gradually can't act when he gets older, but has experienced supporting roles.
In the outstanding student column on the side, Xie Jinzhu finally took advantage of the east wind of "Black Jiaolong 2" to be on the list, only under the group photo of Guan Chen and Zhang Jingsheng.
"Brother Chen, it was said in the news that you are the martial arts instructor of "Black Jiaolong", is it true?"
"Master Guan, after I watched "Black Jiaolong" yesterday, the whole person was on fire, and today I have new insights in boxing, and there is a chance for us to discuss it?"
"Mr. Guan, when will the third part be prepared?"
It's just a few minutes before the afternoon class starts, and there are more and more students around.
Even the clerks downstairs and on the street, well-informed, came to watch Guan Chen, who has become more and more popular recently.
If it was usual, Guan Chen was blocked by so many strangers at close range, even if he jumped out of the window, he would have to escape. But not today, because he and Xiao Xiong made an appointment to meet in the Xing Yan performance class in the afternoon.
Although he was in an acting class, Little Bear didn't come to class.
Recently, she has been working part-time, and she has no heart to learn acting. So Guan Chen got a new company, and the first thing he thought of was to get Xiaoxiong in, give him a position, pay some salary, and let her stop working hard. After meeting, the main thing is to talk about my sister Xiong Ruojin.
Guan Chen's loan to Xiaoxiong was known by his sister, who first called to thank Guan Chen for his kindness, but she always refused to take Guan Chen's money, laughing that their family had some savings, and their condition was not so serious, so they didn't need to spend so much money.
When my sister said this, Guan Chen could only collect the money, after all, he was not a loan shark, and he didn't have to lend the money or something.
But Xiao Xiong's desperate work posture seemed very contradictory, and Guan Chen decided to take the time to go to the capital to see his sister's situation.
"Ding Dong~"
Guan Chen took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was Xiaoxiong who sent a text message, saying that the part-time job was a little delayed, and it might be twenty minutes late.
Guan Chen didn't care, thinking that he hadn't come to class for a long time, so he might as well use this time to race against time to learn something.
So he took a group of followers and walked into the acting classroom.
As soon as Guan Chen looked at the teacher, he felt that he was destined for Wu Meng, and the last time he came, he also happened to meet Wu Meng in a comedy class.
On the other side, after Wu Meng saw Guan Chen, he felt very bad in his heart, why does this Guan Chen always come over on Saturdays......
Wu Meng is the second-in-command of the acting class in the end, and he is very prestigious. When there was still a minute left before the class, the students surrounding Guan Chen dispersed one after another and returned to their seats to prepare for class.
But there is a restless atmosphere floating in the air, no wonder everyone is excited, being able to take classes with celebrities is enough for them to blow with their friends.
Before the class, it is still a warm-up.
Wu Meng said: "Today we play improvisational comedy. ”
Improvisational comedy, is a performance without preparation and planning. It is a great exercise for the comedian's reflexes.
"Because it's improvised, unplanned, unprepared, our performances are largely about digging into ourselves, because people are the most relaxed when they are themselves, and when they are relaxed, they are most likely to come up with interesting things."
After Wu Meng finished speaking, he began to assign groups, given a scenario, and let them play freely.
Looking at the eager expressions of the students around him, Guan Chen found that he probably hadn't played [improvisational comedy] in the entire classroom.
It's really too much to miss school......
"Which group came first?" Wu Meng asked everyone.
"Brother Chen!" "I want to see Mr. Guan."
Not surprisingly, everyone has high expectations for Guan Chen.
But Wu Meng still followed the list and ordered the students from other groups. Mr. Wu was probably taking care of Guan Chen so that he could know how to play improvised comedy.
The scene given by Wu Meng is: a couple, the man goes to the woman's house, and when he receives someone who is about to go on a date, he meets the woman's parents.
The group that came up played a bloody plot at the beginning, and the man and the woman were brothers and sisters who were related by blood. But several students have a tacit understanding, with the development of the plot, the plot is constantly reversed, and the man's identity changes again and again, from the identity of an illegitimate child, to the son of Lao Wang next door, and finally to the ex-boyfriend of his girlfriend's father......
"If improvisation is self-excavation, then these two friends in front of you ......!" Guan Chen felt that this form of performance was too insidious, and if he didn't pay attention, he might come out on the spot.
The second group was called Guan Chen.
Guan Chen walked up with the members of the team he was assigned.
His role is that of a man in a couple.
[Ding Dong Ding Dong. Guan Chen knocked on the door in the air.
The classmate who played his girlfriend came over and opened the door a meter in front of Guan Chen. She said nervously that her parents came over suddenly today, I'm afraid I won't be able to date right away, [I hope you can meet my parents......] She suddenly looked at Guan Chen in shock: [Why do you dress like this and come over! Waistcoat! Skinny shorts! I wore socks and sandals! 】
Gu Qian is making up for Guan Chen, and it is a joke that can be used in the future.
Before Guan Chen could say anything, his girlfriend's parents came over.
[Who's coming?] Boyfriend? 】
[You dare to ask my daughter out so late, you kid want to die?!] 】
The classmate who played the role of his father was more irritable, and after saying it angrily, he picked up a "stick" from behind the door, and wanted to give Guan Chen a dismount in a menacing manner.
Just when everyone was thinking about how Guan Chen would catch this scene,
I saw Guan Chen's eyes condensed, and he immediately took out the "pistol" from his pocket, and his index finger was empty, [Smack! Syllable! Syllable! 】
Beat his girlfriend and her parents to death......
Everyone: "......"
The audience was stunned.
My girlfriend's dad slowed down several beats before he clutched his chest and collapsed in disbelief. What's going on? What is this road number? What the hell is going on? ……
Wu Meng's eyes jumped when he saw it.
Improvisational comedy, comedy! What are you trying to do when you suddenly take out a gun and hit someone!!
The girlfriend was also stunned, covered her chest, and said miserably: [Why do you ...... even me]
[Shut up.] Guan Chen was impatient and shot his girlfriend again.
[I'm a police officer, and I've long suspected that you are making drugs here, so I went undercover for six months, and finally caught you all. Guan Chen blew the "muzzle" as if he were in shape.
Girlfriend [uh-uh-ahhh
My girlfriend's father's expression changed a few times, and he still wanted to struggle, saying: [Fortunately, I wore bulletproof ......]
[No way, I hit you in the head.] Guan Chen pointed to the ground categorically and said, "See, it's your brain. 】
【……】
End of the show.
The whole journey takes 30 seconds.
Wu Meng rubbed his temples and told Guan Chen that improvisational comedy is not like this......
This was the case last time Guan Chen came to audit. suddenly turned the painting style to the suspense crime.
Wu Meng asked Guan Chen to do it again, and this time violence was not allowed. For this reason, Wu Meng also deliberately walked in front of Guan Chen and confiscated three "guns", two "grenades", a "bulletproof vest", and four "daggers" from Guan Chen......
The second performance.
This time, the woman's family of three all learned to be well-behaved, and after Guan Chen knocked on the door, they warmly invited Guan Chen into the house.
It's supposed to be a light-hearted comedy this time...... Wu Meng thought to himself.
However, everyone saw that Guan Chen suddenly whispered to his girlfriend's family of three, and in the next second, they silently raised their hands, hugged their heads, and squatted against the wall.
Wu Meng took out a bottle of blood pressure medicine with a trembling hand, and after taking it, he asked, "...... What did he tell you? ”
The three of them said to Wu Meng aggrievedly:
"He said, [I'm a policeman, you've been surrounded] ......" "[There's a sniper rifle outside the window aimed at you, and I have a gun in my pocket, but I don't want to take it out so as not to bleed] ......" "[If you don't want to die, just squat down with your head in your hands, don't talk nonsense] ......"
Wu Meng exhaled a long breath and said to everyone, "Rest for ten minutes." ”
……
Outside the classroom.
"You're here to find Teacher Xing today." Wu Meng said to Guan Chen with a kind expression, "Teacher Xing is upstairs. ”
"Ah, not looking for him." Guan Chen looked inside the classroom.
Wu Meng cleverly blocked between Guan Chen and the classroom every time: "He misses you very much." You've finally come over to see him. ”
Guan Chen thought about it and felt that it was too. I finally came over to visit Old Man Xing.
Guan Chen looked at the time, it was almost time for the bear to arrive.
"Improv comedy is fun!" Guan Chen felt that he had learned a lot today, and made an appointment with Wu Meng: "I'll come back next time!" ”
"Uh...... When will you come next? ”
"Look at fate!" Guan Chen said goodbye in a chic manner.
Wu Meng smiled and nodded, making up his mind that he would transfer to weekday classes in the future.
Guan Chen walked upstairs to the [Refresher Class]. There are relatively few people in the refresher class, and there is a password at the door. Probably the people who come in and out are artists, and the secrecy is much higher than downstairs.
There are also several performance classrooms, which are small and exquisitely decorated, and most of them are used for one-on-one teaching.
When Guan Chen found Old Man Xing, Old Man Xing was in front of a screen, watching a movie with old picture quality, and if you look carefully, it was his work when he was young. said that it was a work when he was young, but in fact, Xing Yan was also in his thirties at that time, and it was his comeback work after falling to the bottom with nothing.
There are not many scenes, but Old Man Xing cut out all his parts, watched them repeatedly, watched them repeatedly.
Guan Chen didn't know that Old Man Xing also had this kind of narcissism, or was it easy for people to reminisce about the past when they got old.
Old man Xing seemed to know what Guan Chen was thinking, and said: "An actor must be his own who has watched the most performances in his life." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Guan Chen a few times, and said leisurely, "How have you been doing lately?" ”
"That's good." Guan Chen sat down next to Xing Yan. Also staring at the performance on the screen.
On the screen, Xing Yan only plays a character with few lines, and even under most of the cameras, he only has one back.
But it is such a hooked body, sitting like the back of a twisted pine tree, at first glance, the audience can feel the character's full of pain and desperate death.
Xing Yan was a little proud, it seemed that the various roles he played later were not as good as the back in front of him for a few seconds.
Old man Xing finished proudly, and said, "Let me play it now, I can't play that feeling." ”
"How?" Guan Chen asked.
"If a person is too happy, he will not have the drive and the spirit of adventure. In the art industry, it is easy to be mediocre as soon as you are stable, and your career is almost over. The subtext of Old Man Xing is that he is happier now than he was then.
Guan Chen thinks about it, it seems to be the truth, many singers and movie stars, after becoming famous or getting married and having children, the works produced are likely to be very ordinary.
Old man Xing said to Guan Chen: "So you must not be too happy." ”
Being cursed like this, Guan Chen almost didn't punch him, he rolled his eyes: "I want to get married too!" ”
"It's not that you can't have a lover and a family, it's just that you don't have to be satisfied too easily. You have to think, you have to look at the world, you have to find what makes you miserable. ”
Guan Chen felt that this was indeed a problem. His gangsters, killers, and gang bosses are all based on the pain in his heart.
If there is no pain in the future, it seems that he will indeed not be able to surpass the roles he played before.
So after acting in "Black Dragon 3", he had to ask for hardship......
"Our school's internal strength and mental method have to be so cruel?" Guan Chen wondered.
"It's not our ......genre that is cruel"
Old man Xing was halfway through his words, and at this time, Xiao Xiong came upstairs, and after seeing Guan Chen, he waved his hand and walked over.
Although Xiao Xiong was still smiling after seeing Guan Chen, compared with the past, the whole person has subtly changed.
Old man Xing looked at Xiao Xiong for a while, and suddenly said to her: "Don't go to comedy class next time, come and act in a drama." ”
"Huh? What do you mean? "Little Bear doesn't understand.
But Guan Chen understands.
The bear's stability and happiness were shattered.
She had her pain.
