Last time, because of the meeting, "Living Alone" missed Guan Chen's birthday. Afterwards, Director Zhou saw the team building activity of "Hunting Manager Qian" from the Internet, and was very annoyed that he didn't take pictures.

But that meeting was too important to be dismissed.

At that meeting, it was to determine the editing ideas of the show and the guest design. It's distressing. Just because the program positioning is to show the life of an artist living alone, Yin Shu and Pan Xu are okay, these two are really showing the appearance of artists living alone, but Guan Chenwen is not on topic, keen to connect with other people, patting and patting, often inexplicably filming personal programs with the effect of group comprehensive, all the people around him are the same as those who came out of the comedian training camp, making it difficult for the program team to choose.

In the end, Director Zhou persuaded the leaders to reduce interference in Guan Chen's creation, and let him play freely, even if the show was split before and after, he had to be partial. The reason is very simple, there are only two kinds of art that can quickly conquer the audience, one is unique, and the other is the master. And Guan Chen is different. There is no such actor in the world, who has a unique temperament on the screen, and is unpredictable in private, always unexpected, and can even make reality more exciting than the movie. Restricting Guan Chen is equivalent to limiting the upper limit of the program.

The leader asked Director Zhou to say something. Director Zhou said: Since Guan Chen is a thigh, what's the harm in opening a variety show for his thigh alone.

The leader said okay, and then in order to hug his thighs tighter, the date of the premiere was set for the day after the Golden Bull Award shortlist was announced. If Guan Chen is successfully shortlisted, the program will be broadcast immediately after, which can maximize the income.

The shortlist was announced at nine p.m.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Director Zhou took the team and equipment to prepare to record this important moment of Guan Chen.

They followed the address to a restaurant. As soon as I got out of the car, I found myself stepping on the red carpet.

The red carpet stretched from the side of the road to the door of the restaurant, and there were a few flower petals scattered on it. Zhou Dao hesitated and couldn't take a step, and subconsciously ran to the concrete floor and rubbed the soles of his shoes.

At the end of the red carpet, Xie Jinzhu stood festively dressed as a groom, revealing his black chest hair, not feeling cold, holding the hands of every guest warmly, and he could see the radiance on his face through his sunglasses.

Director Zhou hurriedly asked his subordinates: "Xie Jinzhu got married today?" ”

"I didn't hear he had a girlfriend!" "I haven't heard he has a boyfriend!" "I didn't hear he had friends......

Everyone felt sudden, even abrupt.

Although Xie Jinzhu is doing weddings, just like the most professional drug dealers will not touch fans, everyone also believes that Xie Jinzhu will be single for the rest of his life.

Now that he is suddenly married, everyone has a kind of 'Has he drifted recently?' ' thoughts.

In the past, when Xie Jinzhu got married, it was estimated that no newspaper was willing to waste space; But now it's different, brother is more expensive than brother, and the news of Xie Jinzhu's marriage can barely be sold for 50 yuan to entertainment reporters.

Just when Director Zhou couldn't scrape together much money and thought about whether to break it into pieces and get in, Xie Jinzhu found them.

"Chen is almost here, and he has already departed from the airport, and it will be almost half an hour." Xie Jinzhu said this, followed by a quiet woman.

Director Zhou couldn't tell whether this woman was a bride or a bridesmaid, Xie Jinzhu took the initiative to introduce it, she was an entertainment reporter, "Interview, follow for a day." ”

"Black Dragon 2" was a big hit at the box office, Xie Jinzhu rejuvenated the old tree, the experience was valuable, and it was not surprising that he was invited to an in-depth interview.

Director Zhou sighed regretfully when he heard someone behind him, turned his head and quietly glared at his subordinates, and at the same time beckoned everyone to turn on the shooting equipment, preparing to collect some materials casually before Guan Chen arrived.

"It's nicely set up." Director Zhou looked at the stone lion with red embroidery hanging at the door and said.

Looking into the restaurant, you can vaguely see a group of people setting up sound, lighting and choreography inside.

Xie Jinzhu said helplessly, he just said that he would make this place more festive, but the people in their studio would only get married, so it was like seven or eight couples planning to get married at the same time, and they were from different dynasties, different countries, and different customs.

Xie Jinzhu booked a restaurant, and the venue was from 4 pm to 10 pm, but the staff of the studio were more subjective and active, and appeared outside the restaurant at noon. The customers inside thought that the demolition team was coming, and they felt very frightened, so they quickly finished their meals and fled the restaurant. (According to the restaurant owner, what is even more frightening is that these people are vaguely dressed in gray and blue clothes like prisoners) It didn't take long for the restaurant to be cleared. The restaurateur had to put them in two hours early to set up the scene.

Director Zhou was in awe, worthy of being a person from [Xie Jinzhu Studio (Comedy Training Camp)]!

Xie Jinzhu said that fortunately, in addition to celebrating Guan Chen's shortlisting today, he also had to hold the company's annual meeting by the way.

Director Zhou asked Xie Jinzhu: "How likely is Guan Chen to be shortlisted tonight?" ”

Xie Jinzhu replied more cautiously: "Ninety-nine percent." ”

Director Zhou looked at the entertainment reporter on the side, and asked Xie Jinzhu with his eyes if he needed to answer again.

Xie Jinzhu doesn't: "Sometimes being shortlisted or winning awards is actually to commend an actor for playing a certain role well, which is limited." In "Police Story" alone, Wu Ze played by Chen, if he hadn't just debuted and could only win the Newcomer Award, I think it would be no problem to be shortlisted for [Best Actor/Supporting Actor]. ”

Director Zhou thinks this will not be too exaggerated. Although when recording the post-observation room, Xie Jinzhu's setting was to dote on Guan Chen without a bottom line, but now this kind of big words will definitely be criticized.

However, Xie Jinzhu smiled wildly and didn't care.

He said that the pleasure of filming sometimes comes from the tacit understanding of working with others. Rival plays especially require tacit understanding, professional actors can refer to each other, and after knowing each other's skills and styles, they can adjust the frequency accordingly.

"But filming with Chen, how to say it, it feels like playing against an amateur - this is not to say that he has no acting skills, but that he is right in everything he acts. Because actors have to use their acting skills to confuse the real with fake, amateurs are directly themselves. That's what Achen's performance is. No matter where he looks, whatever he poses, you think it's right. Harmony and comfort. Playing with him will hit the self-confidence of professional actors. ”

Xie Jinzhu gave an example, several old actors in "Black Jiaolong 2", not to mention old actors, but they also have more than ten or twenty years of acting experience, acting against Guan Chen, no matter how they behave, how they move, all kinds of skills, all kinds of lines, but even if Guan Chen just sits there in a daze, his emotions can go very deep, and the audience can only see him in their eyes and only resonate with him.

"The richness of the performance is not in how many details and movements, but in the truth." Xie Jinzhu sighed slightly as if he was proud, and sighed slightly.

Skill is important, but there are always things in the world that can't be achieved by skill.

"But ......" entertainment reporter raised a question, saying that he had watched "Black Dragon 2" and had not seen these plots, and there were even very few scenes of Guan Chen playing against people in it.

Xie Jinzhu tugged at the corners of his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and revealed: "I won't say who it is - the old actor who played with Chen collapsed in the middle of the performance, and hid directly, and the director couldn't shout no matter how he shouted, so those scenes had to be removed." ”

Director Zhou sighed. The last time I recorded a show and filmed Guan Chen for a day, I was photographed with the other party's unobtrusive appearance, and now listening to Xie Jinzhu talk about this, I feel Guan Chen's strength in professional ability from the side, which is another side that I have never seen.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm not alone. Xie Jinzhu used Zhang Jingsheng's interview as evidence, and Zhang Jingsheng also admitted that he "felt terrible" when playing with Guan Chen. That kind of horror is not only a praise for Guan Chen's acting skills, but also the emotion that the road he has worked hard to climb has been walked by someone for several days.

This road is the road of acting and the development of actors.

In the film and television industry, becoming a producer is a more common way to rise than acting and directing, and the impact on the film is also earlier and deeper.

In the "Black Dragon" series, Guan Chen only got the authority of the producer early in just a few shots. In the series of movies of "Speed" drag racing crime, the two leading actors first ensured the box office, and then their voice gradually increased, and finally they all became the producers to participate in project decision-making.

"The personal temperament of the actor can characterize the story. If the villain of the third part is played by another person, the play will change. Xie Jinzhu said, "And Chen's role has long been the same as that of a producer." ”

In the second part, Guan Chen, as a "crime consultant", put forward many realistic suggestions on the plot related to crime in the film, which really affected the direction of the story and improved its richness and rationality; After that, he participated in the decision-making of Fuhuadao and set the tone for the atmosphere of the film - this is actually already doing the work of executive producer. A movie, the atmosphere is right, the world view is defined, and the characters and events in it can be established. Therefore, about Chen and Wu Guan Chen, will be two grades of movies.

"In "Black Dragon 3", Chen will have more room to play, and when the time comes, you will be able to see that he can shine against the old drama bones, and his performance is too good to be true." Xie Jinzhu took the opportunity to talk about the progress of the "Black Dragon 3" project, saying that Guan Chen did his best, in order to make up a good plot, he had to study the criminal law every day, and he went to the capital to dig out talents last week. Xie Jinzhu finally shared a little funny story: "Chen also joked with me that he was going to find some real underworld to act, hahahaha~"

Director Zhou also smiled, feeling that "Living Alone" was really lucky to be able to witness the whole process of Guan Chen's rise. Even if some peers ridicule him in the future for not being able to shoot any shows without Guan Chen, he will hug his thighs and firmly root himself in his comfort zone.

As soon as he thought of this, Director Zhou faintly had the consciousness of an agent, and was slightly worried: "Guan Chen's popular roles are all villains, and he will play the villain again in "Black Jiaolong 3", will he be stereotyped to play the villain all the time?" ”

"What's wrong with the villain?" Xie Jinzhu's eyebrows behind his sunglasses were raised. He has been a villain professional for more than ten years, and obviously doesn't think it's a bad thing to play a villain. There are good people and bad people in this world, and the world of movies is the same.

Xie Jinzhu even said: "Not everyone can play a villain well." ”

Director Zhou and the reporter waited to see how Xie Jinzhu was hard-mouthed.

Xie Jinzhu said: "Only good people can put bad people into a show." An excellent villain often represents a certain aspect of the protagonist, the self that the protagonist does not dare to face under the subconscious iceberg. The path chosen by the villain is likely to be the one that the protagonist hesitated when he stood at a fork in the road; The reverse is the same, the path chosen by the protagonist is also what the villain has hesitated or given up. In the play, they are a kind of mirror existence. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the villain in a way that understands decency. A bad guy is also a person first and foremost, he will not be born with bad words written on his face, as an actor, we can't define him, we can't look at him with colored glasses. And the actor who is a good guy in life plays it, and his background color and perspective can give the villain complexity and depth. The wonderful opposition between good and evil is essentially a process of killing oneself. ”

Director Zhou and the others were taken aback, but they didn't expect Xie Jinzhu to be reasonable.

Underestimate this villain professional.

But Director Zhou faintly felt that Xie Jinzhu had gone around in such a big circle, in fact, he just wanted to say that he and Guan Chen were so good that they could play the villain so wonderfully.

"Kind of makes sense." Director Zhou nodded, and then asked, "What about the villain who was born with an antisocial personality?" Does this theory also fit? ”

"Those who are born evil are not bad people, but monsters. Monsters have no humanity, they are the antithesis of civilization. However, seeing how animal nature is affected by human nature is what makes the story so good. Xie Jinzhu began to promote again: "In "Key to Destiny", Chen plays such a killer with only animal nature. Very well acted! The story is also very good! ”

Xie Jinzhu proudly revealed that he and Guan Chen also cooperated in this movie, and there were many scenes, and even their teacher Xing Yan, this was the first time in the history of their Xingjia class to act together, and it was released during the Spring Festival, everyone must remember to watch it.

When Director Zhou heard the Xing family class, he was about to ask a few more questions about the other talented [Guan Chen-level] juniors and sisters in the legend, but suddenly there was a commotion behind him, and a group of tall, short, fat and thin people came to Wuyang, who were angry and hung up, and walked over on the red carpet.

Director Zhou thought that someone had come to smash the field or collect protection money, but Xie Jinzhu said that he was a supernumerary member of the studio. Some of them are cross talk actors, some are two-person actors, Sichuan opera actors, opera musicians, and hosts.

Today is the annual meeting, so these people who are attached to the studio have also been called to participate together. Although they don't take five insurances and one housing fund, they usually take wedding performances in the studio, which can be regarded as spending poverty together, and now that the studio is developed, it is an opportunity for them to wait for the opportunity to move today to see if they can follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven.

Sure enough, as soon as they saw the camera next to Director Zhou, the gang instantly had a green light in their eyes, and they came over like hyenas hunting. Some of them started to make tongue twisters on the spot halfway through the red carpet, some started to sing loudly, and some fell to the ground after two steps, and then rolled forward and stood up majestically...... The scene was noisy all of a sudden.

Xie Jinzhu hurriedly went up like a kindergarten teacher and arranged people to sit in specific positions.

Director Zhou wanted to follow up inside the restaurant, but with him and his camera, the gang couldn't be quiet at all, and they even excitedly played hide and seek with Xie Jinzhu. Xie Jinzhu had no choice but to leave Director Zhou outside to wait for Guan Chen, and let the others come over to entertain:

"Old money!"

Manager Qian answered from afar.

"Manager Qian?" Zhou Dao and the others followed the sound and found a fat man sitting on the ground, holding a computer and not knowing what he was busy with, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Manager Qian raised his head blankly and said that he was basking in the sun, and "basking my heart cold." He said that he was already busy enough at work, but now he still has to calculate the score rate and the corresponding bonus for those Rausch [Individual Advanced Award] and [Reading Diligent Award], and also make customized trophies and engrave the names of employees...... As he spoke, he struggled to pull the trackpad with his short and fat fingers, as if he was busy.

Director Zhou exchanged ideas with each other's eyes:

'Manager Qian is out of place again, he really doesn't know how to mix in the workplace. ’

Hehe, pretending to be in front of the camera again, it's really the same as what Brother Chen said. ’

It must be that he doesn't usually work hard, but now that everyone is playing, he started to catch up with his homework. ’

"As you can see, I'm busy with work, and I can't entertain now." Manager Qian pointed in a direction with the tip of his hair and said, "Guan Chen's agent is also here today, let's go talk to him." ”

"Guan Chen's agent?" Director Zhou was shocked, thinking that he had misheard.

Manager Qian resolutely said: "Yes! A real broker! ”

Everyone in the world thinks that Guan Chen's agent is Manager Qian, and even Director Zhou thinks so - during the post-production of variety shows, the artist's team needs to maintain communication with the program team to ensure that sensitive picture topics, character designs, and external images are avoided...... Some artist teams will even directly send a retoucher over to beautify their faces frame by frame. On Guan Chen's side, it is Manager Qian who connects with the program team for big and small things, and often proposes "It doesn't matter, he doesn't want his image anyway", "Restore his true face", "Don't contact me anymore if it's okay, you can cut it casually, I'll go back to work first"...... A series of suggestions that seem to give up, but are actually oppressive, have made the program team hold meetings repeatedly.

However, now it is said that Guan Chen's agent is someone else?

Director Zhou looked along the tips of Manager Qian's hair and saw a young man with silver hair sitting on the steps outside and smoking a cigarette.

Turned.

"It's him." Manager Qian was fiercely sure, and said: "Xing Yun is relatively low-key, and he doesn't like others to praise him for bringing Guan Chen well." Because if an agent only brings out one star, it means that it is caused by luck and has nothing to do with the ability of the agent. So until other actors get up, he won't admit that he is Guan Chen's agent. ”

Manager Qian told Director Zhou to wait for 10 million yuan to mention Guan Chen, and not to stimulate the young and proud agent.

Director Zhou was instructed, turned his head back, and cautiously walked towards the silver-haired young man with the camera.

When he got closer, he found that there was a row of young people sitting on the lower steps in front of the silver-haired young man Xing Yun.

According to Manager Qian, those people are other actors led by Xing Yun, and like Guan Chen, they are all from the [Xing Yan Performance Training Class]. The year-end drama of this year's acting class has ended not long ago, and with Chen and Xie Jinzhu as the signboards, many agents have gone to select seedlings. But there are still quite a number of students who fill in the volunteers and fill in Xie Jinzhu's studio. In previous years, no one came, but this year it has become a hit. It's just because of [Xing's class].

Seeing the camera coming, several rookie actors were very excited. But in general, he still maintains the demeanor of an actor, and does not make any moves such as singing loudly in public or faking to fall.

Xing Yun spit out a puff of cigarette and calmed everyone down: "When you make your debut in a variety show, you are a variety artist." ”

Some of the rookie actors cover their faces; Pull up the collar and cover your face; Some crouched down and buried their faces in their legs...... One by one, they are like the clients who have been caught.

Director Zhou smiled: "Guan Chen debuted from my first variety show. Strictly speaking, Guan Chen was unearthed by me. If it weren't for his performance in variety shows, Huang Jin would not have recommended him to audition for "Police Story". ”

The rookie actors were immediately ready to move again.

Xing Yun said unhurriedly: "You are not Guan Chen. Don't learn what you can't learn. ”

Looking at the depressed young people, Director Zhou couldn't bear it anymore, and comforted: "You will go out of your own way, and it is not impossible to surpass Guan Chen." ”

The young man was a little excited, but Xing Yun frowned: "Don't say this kind of thing to my artists." ”

"Ah......" Director Zhou was a little embarrassed.

Xing Yun took a deep puff of his cigarette, slowed down, and said:

In ancient times, there were often people who wanted to learn the ability of horses from Bole, but Bole was a little scheming, only teaching his favorite people to identify inferior horses, and teaching his enemies how to identify horses. Because inferior horses can be found every day, excluding inferior horses, there are medium and good horses; Maxima, on the other hand, may be hard to find for the rest of his life. The former can make money every day, but the enemy may not make much money in his life.

Xing Yun said that he only needed to know how to identify "inferior horses". Guan Chen's Maxima has nothing to do with him. Director Zhou's encouragement just now was to give the "medium horse" an illusion of becoming a "thousand miles horse", which would ruin them.

After talking about it here, I can't talk anymore.

Director Zhou was a little puzzled, is this silver-haired brother really Guan Chen's agent? It's completely different from Brother Chen's approachable painting style!

Fortunately, at this time, Guan Chen finally arrived.

When Guan Chen passed by here, he walked straight towards Xing Yun.

Director Zhou hurriedly greeted him with the camera.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Guan Chen did when he found Xing Yun was to talk about gossip.

"I heard that an actor has entered the bureau, and there is a high probability that it will be over after he comes out." Guan Chen sighed to Xing Yun.

Xing Yun sneered.

"Unprofessional." Guan Chen commented. I don't know if I'm talking about the actor, or the broker who delivers the takeaway.

Director Zhou nodded in agreement, an actor who disappointed fans is indeed difficult to call professional.

Xing Yun glanced at Guan Chen: "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

Guan Chen asked: "So, the staff of the actor's studio are looking for a home?" ”

Xing Yun said: "The powerful ones should have been found by now." ”

Those who can follow the actors to set up their own studios are always supported by a few veterans. Even if it is Xie Jinzhu, there will be a Qian Liangyi.

"What can support the bamboo [Hsinchu] behind it is the root that is deeply rooted in the earth. The more lush the bamboo is, the more the roots have to go underground. Guan Chen patted Xing Yun on the shoulder and asked:

"Is there a director in your takeaway list?"
