Chapter 202: Revisited
Guan Chen knew that Holly's lacrimal glands were relatively developed, with slender nerves, and he had the problem of crying at every turn.
In the face of Holly's tears of joy, Guan Chen understood very well and missed it very much. After all, he studied abroad in film half a year ago and lived in Hawley's house for a short period of time, and he was as harmonious as family.
This "family" is not the "family" that the anchors often talk about.
At that time, Guan Chen and Hawley went to the studio during the day to play tricks and wander between various crews; Go out to watch a movie together at night, and after watching the movie, find a small restaurant nearby and start a review, saying what is good about the movie at one, two, or three o'clock; In their spare time, they also go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and pick up their children. They are inseparable all day, and only when they sleep, they are separated from each other for a few hours. After two days like this, the kindergarten teacher was able to hand over Xiao Xiaohuo to Guan Chen with confidence, and the security guards of the community saw Guan Chen and no longer interrogated him about his origin, and even passers-by on the street couldn't help but give Guan Chen a thumbs up, feeling that their relationship was too good to be a model, as a model for promoting international friendship and building a harmonious society.
"I almost scared you to death!" Hawley wiped tears from his eyes.
"I don't do bad things on weekdays, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."
"But you didn't knock."
"I have the key." Guan Chen is right.
The last time he stayed here, because he had a habit of getting up in the morning to exercise, Hawley gave him a key and didn't take it back when he left. Guan Chen is not a fool, this time again, of course, he will take it out and open the door.
"Then you can come, why do you say that you are here to collect debts......" Hawley stepped forward and hugged his son, with a look of joy that he had lost and recovered.
"Because I'm really here to collect debts."
Guan Chen's face was hidden under the brim of a baseball cap.
In the previous life, the association had a special debt collection company in charge, and it was easy not to use violence, only for the purpose of causing the debtor to die socially, and the harassment continued, but it abided by the law. Generally, when Guan Chen needs to take action, things are often more serious.
It's just that he has become a leader in this life, and what Guan Chen wants to collect is not a debt, but a debt of favors.
He has understood that favor is a more valuable currency.
Just like in "The Godfather", the godfather helps people solve troubles, and the reward is that the other party will do something for him in the future.
"My new company is open and I need people."
Guan Chen said, taking out the booklet in his arms. It records the information of the filmmakers he knows, most of whom are staff members of the crew of "Police Story" and "Key to Destiny".
At the beginning, Guan Chen was distressed by [doing a good deed a day] every day in the crew, and specially helped several of them solve small troubles. For example, there was a female stylist in the crew who was beaten by her husband, and after Guan Chen knew about it, he immediately excitedly threatened that husband, and if he dared to beat someone, he would take his friends over to play with each other.
Now is the time to ask for something in return.
Making a commercial movie is not the same as making a short film about a college assignment. When filming the anti-marriage short film, Guan Chen walked from the street to the end of the street, and almost pulled the team together, but to shoot "Black Dragon 3", he had to find a regular army.
"But I'm a little entangled," Guan Chen clicked on the pamphlet, and said distressedly, "I helped those people before, if I want them to repay them now, then wouldn't the good deeds I did have an impure purpose?" Is this still a good deed? ”
This is contrary to his code of conduct, and he always feels a little sorry for the good person certificate in his other pocket.
Guan Chen was very entangled.
"You're thinking too complicated. Making movies is not about doing business, it's not about getting together a bunch of excellent people, and in the end you will definitely be able to make excellent things. "Although Hawley has been mixed for six or seven years without any improvement, he has been writing scripts during this period, and his mind has always been very clear.
"If the script is good, and then the money is in place, then there is no such thing as impersonal at all. It can even be said that you can think of the other party, and the other party may continue to accept your love. "Hawley said that good scripts are in the minority after all, and everyone is grabbing them." With a good script, then as long as you can attract a great character, then other equally powerful people will naturally take the initiative to follow up one after another. "Use the script to attract actors, then use actors to attract investment, then use investment to attract directors, and use directors to attract cinematography......
"On the contrary, if the script is very bad, then forcibly consume human affection, and the people who come to work are unwilling, at most they use work to make errands, and finally make a bunch of garbage, look at each other unpleasantly, and make a grudge if they don't do it well."
At the end of the day, the script is king.
"Wow! Good! Guan Chen's tangled mind was untied like a headphone cable, and he couldn't help patting Holly's shoulder hard and exclaiming: "It is worthy of being my military advisor!" ”
Hawley waved his hand modestly like a Chinese man, saying where and where.
Holly reminded Guan Chen like a real military advisor not to be too happy too early. Because it's more difficult to come up with a good script. Most of the screenwriters who have works have signed contracts and have agents, even if they write an outline, they will be pushed to various film and television companies, and the usual work mode is tailored to the needs of Party A. And newcomer screenwriters, writing a book, either to participate in the film festival venture capital, or through the network to take the initiative to recommend themselves to large companies, or to participate in various competitions to stand out, or directly to the copyright platform agent sales, are all open channels, like [Hsinchu] A fledgling company, no fame, no guarantee or even no money, it is not easy to intercept a good script from a large company.
However, after listening to this, Guan Chen did not feel discouraged at all.
"Ho-ho-ho, things are getting more interesting." He is even as optimistic as the villain.
"Without further ado, we'll go to the screenwriter now!" Guan Chen stood up.
"Wait, I read what I wrote in the interview, you seem to be one of the screenwriters of "Black Dragon 3", right?" Hawley wondered.
"Yes......" Guan Chen nodded slowly, and at the same time shouted in his heart, [It is precisely because Lao Tzu is one of the screenwriters that he has to find other screenwriters!] 】
In the past two days, "Black Jiaolong 2" has become more and more popular, and the black director and screenwriter don't enjoy fame and fortune, and they want to meet him twice in three days The plot of the third part, Guan Chen is simply unbearable.
Guan Chen knows his level, although he has a synopsis in his heart, he doesn't know how to write it at all, he doesn't understand the structure, he doesn't understand the rhythm, and he doesn't know how to write a sentence like a line.
"I'm busy with work, so I probably don't have time to write it myself." Guan Chen is ready to learn from the working model of a well-known screenwriter's studio, the screenwriter only focuses on the general direction, and the rest of the details are left to the apprentice to write.
"If you can write it, you can write it, and you will be signed at the end." Guan Chen made it clear to Holly that he was going to be lazy.
Hawley was instantly moved.
In the past seven years, he has been a ghostwriter and gunman countless times, and he knows that the right of authorship is not their turn at all.
The IP of "Black Dragon" has been made, and there is no shortage of good screenwriters at all. If Hawley nods now, it is equivalent to getting rid of the current predicament of being obscure, doing housework at home all day long, buying groceries, cooking and picking up children, not earning money to support his wife, and being ridiculed by neighbors when he goes out.
Hawley was close to saying yes.
Gu cooked, but in the end, all the eagerness turned into a sigh.
He knows that action movies with a socially critical nature like "Black Dragon" are not what he is good at.
He can't implicate Guan Chen because of selfishness.
"I shouldn't be able to write about this kind of subject......" Hawley said weakly.
Guan Chen nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, then I'll find someone else." ”
Guan Chen has a strong executive ability. After going out to dinner with the Holly family in the evening, I thought about going to Changping Cinema to see if there would be a suitable screenwriter to be his gunman.
Hawley, as always, used to act as an agent when Guan Chen was not around.
Changping Cinema is divided into a tourist area and a filming area, and some areas require a pass to enter.
Today's Guan Chen is no longer a selected group performer. As soon as he appeared, it caused a small commotion. Before being completely surrounded, Guan Chen found an assistant director of an unknown crew and asked if he could make a cameo.
This assistant director happens to know Guan Chen.
Since October, Guan Chen has been the hottest actor in the film and television industry, at the age of 28, he has participated in two "big productions" in a row, both of which exploded, and became the top few in the list of [new generation] in the list of casting directors. In the group performance of Changping Cinema, Guan Chen's fame is even greater. This is not only because of his good acting skills, wild road, born in the capital, but also because some rumors say that Guan Chen actually performed as a group performer in Changping like them earlier. After Guan Chen's figure appeared on the background board of some TV series, Guan Chen directly became an inspirational model for grassroots actors.
Because he knew how popular Guan Chen was, the assistant director was full of suspicion when he saw Guan Chen. Looking at Guan Chen's shabby side, there was only one "staff member" like Holly, and he guessed that the Guan Chen in front of him was a stuntman or special actor who looked very similar to Guan Chen, and wanted to take the opportunity to do something.
Guan Chen is the least afraid of this kind of self-proof.
He calmly took out the thing that best proved his identity from his pocket-
[Good Guy Certificate]!
"Look at this seal, it's stamped by the police." Guan Chen was triumphant, "ID cards can be forged, but if this seal is forged, it is a crime." ”
The assistant director believed. Nowadays, with the popularity of Guan Chen, the [Good Guy Certificate] has become the most iconic object. There has never been anyone in the entertainment industry like Guan Chen, who uses a good person ID card as an ID card.
Many people around were very excited when they saw Guan Chen.
Guan Chen was also like a leader, shaking hands with them cordially and asking about the price of today's dishes.
What made Guan Chen feel pity was that no one gave him gifts.
The baseball cap that Guan Chen is wearing on his head now was given by fans. On the way from the magic capital to the capital, fans kept recognizing him and were very enthusiastic. Among them, there was also a fan who desperately stuffed Guan Chen with a pen and a hat, Guan Chen was very moved, so he laughed at them.
Seeing that the group performers and tourists in the distance received the news of Guan Chen's visit, they came over to watch.
The assistant director hurriedly brought Guan Chen into the studio area.
On the way, the assistant director represented their crew and warmly said that Guan Chen was welcome to make a cameo.
Guan Chen is already famous, when a group performance cannot be called a trick, but a cameo, even if he shows his back and hands, his name must appear on the staff list.
Guan Chen is very happy to make a cameo. Because in addition to inspecting screenwriters, he can also inspect staff in other positions to add fresh blood to the company.
The crew he is going to now is the crew of the TV series "Struggle".
Guan Chen searched the Internet, which mainly tells the story of a group of young men and women who stayed in the capital after graduating from university. "Struggle" has one season a year, and it has already filmed its fifth season, with high ratings, and several protagonists are very popular. One of the most widely circulated episodes is that a male protagonist, as a second-generation real estate player, shouted "This is not the life I want!" and then throw the money on the road. Many viewers on the Internet feel that this person is hypocritical and simply faulty, but Guan Chen can empathize with him, because he knows what it is like to be spiritually empty and have no goal in life.
Guan Chen thinks this screenwriter is good, write it down, and ask some questions in the future in the name of discussing the plot.
When Guan Chen was welcomed in by the crew, he regretted to find that the screenwriter he was waiting for was not at the scene.
Like this, a group portrait TV series that has been filmed for several seasons, there are too many characters, and basically one or several screenwriters correspond to one or several screenwriters behind a role.
The role of the second generation of the rich man has no role tonight, so his screenwriter is not there.
After Guan Chen signed the contract and casually made a cameo appearance, he did not leave the studio immediately, but took Holly and went to other studios, and Mao recommended himself to make a cameo.
The studio next to it is a crew called "Journey to the West".
It is about the Tang monk Sun Wukong's master and apprentice After the four became Buddhas, countless monsters saw the entrepreneurial outlet, and they followed the trend to get a scripture learning team, and they also went to the west in twos and threes. The main character team of the story consists of a wine and meat monk, and four monsters who are temporarily recruited. They were originally a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, and they only had three minutes of heat after learning from the scriptures, and they always walked and walked, turned around, and went to a nearby town or urban or rural area to play and vacation, and the team was disbanded at both ends of the three days. Sometimes they meet serial demon killers, sometimes they meet couples who fall in love with ghosts, and sometimes they meet greedy grassroots immortals, in short, there are many elements, and the protagonist group often does good things inexplicably in this process, and gradually becomes a better monster (himself). It's essentially a road movie.
Guan Chen, a person with a fault, has a sense of substitution when he sees such a story.
He took out a small notebook and thought that this screenwriter was also quite interesting, so he wrote it down and wrote it down.
This night, Guan Chen visited several crews.
Some crews welcome him, some crews don't need to make a cameo, and some crews don't even let him in. Among the crews that welcomed Guan Chen, Guan Chen was actually not very interested in one or two subjects, but as a reward for his interruption, he still left a few seconds of video.
Individual directors even want to learn from the black director, and add a scene to Guan Chen, hoping that he will be strung together and skewered into a supporting role. Guan Chen had learned a lesson and was already very experienced, he played a Tai Chi, and after putting the director on the ground, he left quickly.
"There will be more crews during the day tomorrow, let's watch it again?" Hawley asked him.
Guan Chen shook his head and said no, he has other arrangements tomorrow.
"What flowers should I bring to visit a patient in the hospital?"
