Chapter 232: Inner Ghost
On the day of the company's annual meeting, Guan Chen won a series of heavyweight awards such as the annual [Best Employee Award], "Favorite Learning Award", and "Most Progress Award" of Xie Jinzhu Studio, which should have been the happiest day of the year.
However, on such a perfect day, if he hadn't been alert, the senior brother would have almost spent the New Year in prison.
Guan Chen felt that although squatting in prison for a while might improve the acting skills of the senior brother, and it would be more textured to play the villain in the future, but in this way, he would have to endure the long days of driving alone, eating alone, and facing Qian Liangyi's ugly face alone.
Guan Chen was very unhappy and couldn't let go of the inner ghost.
How to find out the inner ghost, Guan Chen can't be said to be absolutely professional, but it can also be said to be semi-professional.
The underworld deals with ghosts, unlike the police, who have to have evidence before they can do it. They neither respect the privacy of citizens, nor do they emphasize human rights, and the slightest suspicion of "something is wrong" dooms someone to bad luck.
Even if it turns out later that someone has been wronged, guilt and apology do not exist. In their opinion, the other party has experienced such a crisis of confidence, even if there is no betrayal now, but there will be in the future, so they can't stay.
If there are not enough people, just look for them. Before the millennium, people's hearts fluctuated, and people who were willing to take risks for money were everywhere.
Guan Chen's boss sees the foresight, believing that there is no way out for the domestic underworld that does not depend on power, their future is legalization, and the way out for the community is to become an enterprise. Therefore, the corporate culture should be established, the rewards and punishments should be clear, and the rules and regulations should be formulated.
Guan Chen had no choice but to step out of his comfort zone, reverse the laws and regulations, and innovate in the police's evidence collection procedures, including but not limited to tracking, surveillance, and eavesdropping on suspects, analyzing the other party's life patterns, recording where the other party met and who said what, investigating whether the other party's recent consumption behavior has changed, picking up every bag of garbage thrown by the other party and rummaging through it, and collecting evidence when the other party went out...... Guan Chen can patiently play a game that lasts for months, and finally let the suspect die clearly.
In addition to the police, Guan Chen also learns endlessly, strives for excellence, and looks up to the intelligence agencies.
When dealing with agents who are "suspected of being instigated," the intelligence community has a series of tests. One of them is to first recall the target agent, then kidnap him on the way, and send someone to act as an enemy force to rebel against the agent. It was only after the agent survived the test, not wavering halfway, and showing no flaws in his performance, that the department temporarily put aside its suspicions about the agent.
Guan Chen learned very well, locked up the suspect and tortured him, and after a few efforts, the other party was full of feces and urine, and secretly mixed with blood and spit it out at once. If you are gentle, you can lock people in a dark, soundproof room where there is no light, or you will not be allowed to sleep for a few nights, but this is a delicate job, and you have to master a degree, otherwise when you have a mental breakdown, either you can't do anything, or you ask him if he has been to the moon, and he dares to nod.
Replaced by Guan Chen in his previous life, he wore a mask on the night of the annual meeting, and then went to visit the staff one by one in the middle of the night.
But in this life, it is not suitable for this again.
Although the employees of the studio can't even run for 13 seconds in the 100-meter sprint, and the [Fire Escape] training is only eye-catching, but after getting along for a long time, Guan Chen feels that they are like his own children, every morning when he greets him, everyone will happily surround him, look at him with an earnest expression, and be extremely obedient, Guan Chen will let them do whatever they want, very well-trained. Guan Chen sighed a little, this may be the feeling of being a parent, even if his children have all kinds of shortcomings, but it is difficult to be ruthless if they want to hurt - except for Qian Liangyi.
What's more, with the [Good Person Certificate], he finally had a second life, and Guan Chen didn't want the hands used to hold and write in his predecessor to be stained with blood again.
Since you have become an actor in this life, it is better to use the way of an actor to find out the inner ghost.
……
"The person who got the most spy votes is, Xie Jinzhu!
The reason given by everyone is -
[Every time the game is played by Mr. Xie, he loses, it's a little too obvious, kekeke]
[As Teacher Guan and Teacher Yao said, 'While looking at others, but not paying attention to things, there must be a ghost in your heart.' 'Teacher Xie has a lot of ghosts in his heart】
[Seems to be acting suspiciously]
【……】”
The moderator took the cards one by one, in Korean and Huahua, and read the content written on the voting card paper by everyone.
The artists who wrote these cardboards include Han Gaoguo and Huaxia. Although their language is not the same at this moment, their suspicion of Xie Jinzhu makes them cross borders and languages, and their hearts are connected together.
Xie Jinzhu, who was forced to stand in the middle of the stage on the "judgment table", looked speechless, and desperately explained that he was not a spy with sign language and his body.
"So, is Xie Jinzhu a real spy? The real spy is announced below—"
The host paused for a few seconds, then waved his hand at someone present: "Guan Chen!" ”
In the sound of "oh mo, oh mo" made by foreign artists, Guan Chen skillfully hugged his fists with everyone, thanking everyone for the face, and no one present suspected him.
"Wow, you deserve to be the most amazing rookie actor in the film industry last year, no one found out that you were a 'spy'. The mission was successful, what does it feel like now? The host asked him in accented but proficient Chinese.
What does it feel like......
Guan Chen is feeling depressed now.
He is now recording a variety show called "Spy" in Han Gaoguo. More than a dozen artists are divided into two teams and play team games. There is a Spy in the audience who is tasked with failing his team in the game, while the others are tasked with finding the Spy.
It's rare to go abroad, and I should be excited, but Guan Chen can't be excited.
There are two serious publicity periods before the release of the movie. One is the warm-up, which starts about two months before the release date, and the other is the core publicity period, which starts one month before the release date.
The movie "Key to Destiny" was released on the first day of the first month of the Spring Festival, Guan Chen, as the main creator, has not yet passed the New Year's Day, and he is about to start following the crew to do publicity, because Director Tian's film is very marketable in the world, so Guan Chen has to go abroad for publicity this time.
Nearby, there are cherry blossom country, white bear country, Siam country, and Han Gao country on the Asian side. There are several countries in Europe.
Attending the promotional activities of the movie, he had already signed a contract with the actor before the movie started, and it can be said that the actor's salary has included the appearance fee for the promotional event. Since there is no appearance fee to earn, compared to recording variety shows for most of the day, actors like to participate in meetings and press conferences, and rarely take the initiative to take the initiative. One or two popular variety shows that really can't be avoided, just rely on the identity of [actor] to paddle in the past and complete the task.
Guan Chen went to participate in these variety shows, but his attitude was very positive. Seeing street signs and store names in Chinese in foreign countries made Guan Chen feel very novel, and he wished to stay longer. Moreover, in order to match the theme of the movie, most of these variety shows have designed special characters such as "killer" and "undercover", so as to make the show more interesting and story-like.
Guan Chen is out of the house, planning to go back to the studio to catch the ghost after this time is busy. Recording variety shows is regarded by him as a kind of warm-up.
What made Guan Chen speechless was that along the way, the [Killer] was him, the [Undercover] was him, the [Werewolf] was him, and the [Spy] was also him.
Guan Chen didn't understand that he was obviously a partner of justice, why as long as he was a role of sabotage in secret, the program team arranged it for him.
The reasons for the program team are different, some think Guan Chen is smart, and it is reassuring to hand over such an important role to Guan Chen;
Some are looking forward to Guan Chen's reappearance of his heroic appearance as the big demon king in "The Chaser", lurking to the end, suddenly reversing, and then single-handedly picking out everyone else, the audience loves to watch it;
is also because the trailer of "Extreme Man - Wanted in the City 2" has been released, and Director Jin praised Guan Chen in an interview. So these foreign variety show directors also hope that Guan Chen can play a role in their shows.
In the end, Guan Chen became an internal ghost.
"Every time you're a spy, everyone says it's me every time, it's so unfair!" Xie Jinzhu didn't understand why he looked like a spy, was it because he was ugly, and Guan Chen was good-looking?
"I don't want that either." Guan Chen prayed sincerely: "I hope to record the show again in the future, and don't arrange a spy identity for me." Tired. ”
The host laughed and said that being a spy is indeed very tiring.
"Is there any difference between being a spy and being a killer?" The host is dedicated, and if he is not careful, he will turn the topic to the movie.
This is the second thing Guan Chen feels bad about these days, among the actors, he is arranged to play the role of spokesperson, and he is asked the most questions, and reporters and hosts also like to throw questions to him. Guan Chen felt a little wronged. He just has a diploma from a prestigious university, and everyone actually thinks of him as a smart person; He just carries a book at all times and takes it out to read when he has time, and everyone thinks he is an intellectual.
There are so many problems that Guan Chen himself doesn't know what he is talking about. There are only questions related to the role, and Guan Chen has done his homework, so he is not afraid of being asked.
"Whether it's a spy or a killer, concealment is the most important thing." Guan Chen said that there are differences between the two types of work, and there are also similarities.
The first lesson of the killer is to hide the killing intent. Killing intent is not only found when you shoot to kill, but also when guarding against other people's killing moves, you will also reveal killing intent. Because, the precautionary statement is ready to fight back. What I expect is reflected in my body and eyes—muscles tense, blood accelerates, and vision is focused. It's all human instinct. And these subtle changes will surprise the keen.
A must to fight instincts, killers and spies.
"The killer I played in the movie, although he is very strong, is actually very flawed." Guan Chen said.
In "Key to Destiny", the killer Ding Wu slaughtered a person in a gangster den at the beginning, which seems to be very powerful, but in fact it is indeed very powerful, just like a superpower - but this is not the style of a killer.
Guan Chen expressed his doubts to the director. He felt that Director Tian didn't understand killers, but Director Tian said that he didn't understand movies.
The story comes from the inside and the outside. "The Key to Destiny" is misplaced.
Fate is misaligned, circumstances are misaligned.
Killing gods fell into the mortal world, and mortals mistakenly entered the underworld.
A person who is as strong as a god suddenly blanks his heart and re-experiences the growth of life with a pure mentality.
Director Tian said that although he is making an action movie, the core attraction is not only to present a sense of violence, but also to "God" In the process of getting along with people, the arc of human nature has been rubbed out of sparks, from the initial "seeing yourself" to "seeing others" and "seeing all beings". After surviving the catastrophe, Ding Wu really became a top killer, and his most perfect moment was the moment when he fought for his fate.
After Guan Chen roughly finished talking about his understanding of the role, he looked at the camera and called on everyone to watch the movie after it was released.
"It's a very interesting movie. There are very interesting characters in it. Guan Chen said.
Since he was woken up by Pan Xu last time, Guan Chen has understood that there is no sentence in this world that can make people feel empowered, and there is no movie that can make people awaken after watching it. What can really change a person is only an experience.
However, the human character is made up of the past, which in turn is made up of memories. A good movie can stay in a person's life for as long as a memory. This memory may suddenly surface at some point in the future and affect the experience; Or maybe not.
There is such a small possibility, for Guan Chen, it is enough.
"Just like in reality, the killer played by Chen was under my influence, and he became a more powerful killer when he learned acting." Xie Jinzhu promoted his role through the cracks.
Guan Chen thought to himself that this was true. Acting changed him a lot.
Guan Chen really wants to suggest that his fans learn to act, even if they can't become actors in the end, but they are very useful for dealing with police interrogations, slapping the leader's sycophants, and maintaining family harmony - it's a pity that Xing Yanren is old and conservative, so he politely rejected his advertising slogan.
After the recording of the show, the staff trotted up and handed mineral water to Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu.
Guan Chen thanked him and took it in his hand and didn't drink it.
Xie Jinzhu was also trained by Guan Chen, and he was vigilant and did not drink.
Since the drunk driving attempt that night, Xie Jinzhu has moved over to eat and live with Guan Chen. Under Guan Chen's ears, Xie Jinzhu also learned the most basic vigilance.
For example, never sleep in the same place for two nights; Travel by public transport only; Do not take boxes and bags to avoid being secretly placed with suspicious items; Be careful if anyone comes near within a one-meter radius; Drink water only from what you bring with you; When socializing and eating, he also used the excuse of "not finishing" to pull a lot of rice to Qian Liangyi, wait for a while, and observe that Qian Liangyi is intact before he can move the chopsticks.
For Guan Chen, these are habits that have melted into his bones. For Xie Jinzhu, it was a kind of torture.
Qian Liangyi followed Guan Chen and Xie Jinzhu and was also tortured.
In the studio before, in order to lure out the inner ghost and the people behind it, Guan Chen and Qian Liangyi cast bait and acted in a play, which made people mistakenly think that they had a conflict. Qian Liangyi took this opportunity to scold Guan Chen, and Guan Chen also took this opportunity to beat Qian Liangyi.
Xie Jinzhu walked into the dressing room, and Qian Liangyi was just about to follow up. Guan Chen stopped with his hand and warned: "You haven't cleared your suspicion yet, be conscious." ”
Qian Liangyi rolled his eyes tiredly, he didn't have the slightest interest in fighting, of course, he probably understood that it was useless to fight. He just skillfully opened his arms and motionless for Guan Chen to search his body. He knew that Guan Chen just wanted to tease him and take revenge on him. He is a dignified agent, and he is at the mercy of a rookie artist with an administrative rank of only assistant, which is really ridiculous. He just looked at Xie Jinzhu's face, so he didn't bother with Guan Chen, otherwise he would have to explode with a fatal scissor kick......
"Let's go inside." Guan Chen shook his head.
"Hmph." Not to be outdone, Qian Liangyi snorted coldly, and then honestly put on his shoes and buckled the belt back to the waistband of his pants.
Entered the dressing room and closed the door.
Guan Chen carefully inspected the room again.
After seeing Guan Chen nodding, Qian Liangyi said, "I've already said hello." One boss is my friend's younger brother, and the brokerage company has lost money for three years, and if it loses again, it will be shut down. The other boss was my former boss, who came out and went it alone, and it was just set up two months ago. When you return home, you can go and get in touch with them directly. ”
Two companies, one is about to go bankrupt and the other has just been founded.
"Okay." Guan Chen nodded.
Xie Jinzhu took a sip of the mineral water he bought at the vending machine on the road just now, and said: "Chen has already divided the employees in two places, and when the time comes, I will talk to them one by one according to the plan, and then 'accidentally' let them know that Chen is looking for a home." On the new company's side, it was rumored that he was going to [go bankrupt], and on the studio side, it was rumored that he was going to [just established]. When the time comes, it depends on which company is contacted first! There is also a high probability that there is a problem with the contact. ”
If the plan goes well, you can know who is behind the well-informed mastermind, and by the way, you can also know whether the inner ghost is in the new company or in the studio.
This is what Xie Jinzhu learned from police movies. The set is the school.
Guan Chen actually has a better way, such as implanting a Trojan horse in each employee's mobile phone, or hardware monitoring. The development of these things is not very difficult, the difficulty is how to put it in. For Guan Chen, these are of course trivial. But it is rare for the senior brother to use his intelligence to come up with a way to try, and Guan Chen is willing to cooperate.
Xie Jinzhu sighed lightly, before the inner ghost was caught, each of his subordinates had a certain suspicion, which was obviously uncomfortable. He said: "It makes sense that star studios only rely on internal referrals to recruit people. If you recruit people in the future, you still have to find them from within the circle. ”
The star studio recruits people, in fact, it is not very oriented to the society, and it does not accept fresh graduates, even if it is accepted, it is once the three-month probationary period is over, and it will be replaced with a consumable immediately.
More than professional ability, working in this industry, the most important thing is the trust of the artist. Therefore, the studio recruits people through internal referral and acquaintance introduction, one is to ensure that new employees understand the rules, and their character has the reputation endorsement of the people in the circle, and if there is a problem, it will also implicate the recommended person, which prompts people to be extremely cautious when recommending; The second is to enter the company with a personal connection, which is a line of the relationship network, which will be convenient for each other in the future, so that the position and news can flow.
"I don't care, people inside and outside the circle can help me make movies." Guan Chen said.
"In case no one jumps out in the end, you wait for the rabbit, and it is better to really jump to those two companies than to keep guarding, which is not a bad ending." Qian Liangyi seems to be wishing that Guan Chen was really doing a fake show, don't come back.
Before Guan Chen could speak, Xie Jinzhu first denied Qian Liangyi's curse.
"Those people who are used to playing black can't stand the fact that the things they are staring at are cheaper than others. Drove away the owner of the orchard, waited for the ripe fruit, and finally ran to the bowl of passers-by, which could infuriate them to death. ”
Qian Liangyi suddenly thought of something and asked, "In case the ghost is not in the new company, nor is he in the studio." What if the inner ghost is Liu Lihao? ”
Qian Liangyi asked if he needed to send someone to inform the rumors so that the other party could report the news.
Guan Chen shook his head, because Liu Lihao's mobile phone had already been put into things by him for monitoring.
How early?
I guess it was when we first met.
