Chapter 99: Tools

Since the new teacher came to the acting training class, Xing Yan finally has time to do what he wants to do.

When Guan Chen was working part-time in a restaurant a few days ago, he heard Xie Jinzhu say on the phone that Xing Yan has been going to bars or nightclubs every night these days, and he always comes home very late at night.

Xie Jinzhu was worried that Xing Yan would relapse into his old ways and indulge in alcohol and debauchery like he did when he was young, regardless of career and family.

After Guan Chen heard about this incident, he was also very worried about Xing Yan, thinking that he would soon receive news of Xing Yan's death or heavy debts. Lonely elderly people have always been good targets for fraud and robbery. Of course, debt first and then death

It's also possible.

Guan Chen came out of the studio and looked at the time. It was already six o'clock in the evening.

In the days that were approaching May, there was still a lingering aftertaste of sunshine in the sky. Guan Chen looked at the sky and knew that he had to hurry up.

He remembered that his younger brother, who was in charge of debt collection business in his previous life, liked to go to people's homes in the evening to collect debts.

Guan Chen asked the reason, and the younger brother said that if you have a family, your family members work separately during the day, so they don’t need to have breakfast and lunch together, but there is only dinner, and they can be eaten together as long as they can. As night falls, the family gathers together

Eating together is a habit written in genes. Moreover, according to scientific evidence, people's will is weakest at dusk. What is "Moon on the willow tip, people make appointments after dusk" refers to the probability of success in confessing love at dusk.

Maximum. By analogy, it is also effective in debt collection.

Guan Chen didn't know if debt collectors in this world would be so educated. He took out his mobile phone and called Xing Yan.

"Teacher Xing, where are you?"

"I'm at home." Xing Yan said.

"How is Master's wife? What does she think of the silk scarf I gave her last time?"

"What???" Xing Yan felt confused, "It's late at night, don't scare people!"

Xing Yan's wife passed away a few years ago.

"Oh." Guan Chen understood. It seems that Xing Yan is fine now and he can go find him.

When talking on the phone, mentioning a person who has passed away or does not exist in reality can be used as a code to remind you that something is wrong.

"You kid, tell me clearly, why did you suddenly..."

"I'm worried that there are debt collectors around you."

"Debt collector?" Xing Yan felt that he was getting more and more confused the more he listened!

"Don't worry about that for now." Guan Chen said: "I received the script from Director Tian today, and I don't understand some parts of it. Can I come over and see you now?"

"Script?" When Xing Yan heard that it was about the cash cow of the training class, his tone immediately became more serious, "Okay, come here."

Guan Chen hung up the phone and called a taxi to go to Xing Yan's home.

Guan Chen was familiar with this place and had been there several times. After checking that there was no one nearby, Guan Chen was sure that Xing Yan was still safe. What good luck.

Guan Chen bought some fruit at a roadside fruit stall. He learned this from his senior brother. When he was preparing for the role in "Police Story", Xie Jinzhu took Guan Chen to Xing Yan's house, and he had to bring something with him every time.

.Things have nothing to do with whether they are high or low, what matters is attitude and intention.

After buying the fruit, Guan Chen went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Xing Yan came and opened the door for Guan Chen. After Guan Chen entered the room, he found that Xing Yan was preparing to have dinner. The atmosphere was very warm. Moreover, Xing Yan was not the only one in the room, and Guan Chen happened to know that person.

"Hey, Pi..." Guan Chen greeted politely.

"Cough cough!!!!!!" Xing Yun coughed so loudly that he almost coughed out his throat.

"Are you going to die?" Xing Yan asked with concern, not understanding why his grandson was suddenly like this.

Guan Chen looked at Xing Yun's pleading eyes, then looked at Xing Yan's reaction, and understood.

It turns out that Teacher Xing didn’t know about the side job his grandson was doing.

"Have you eaten your food? Do you want some?" Xing Yan asked Guan Chen.

"Okay." Guan Chen put down the fruit and sat down calmly. He just came out of the studio without eating dinner.

Xing Yun was very sensible and offered to let him serve the meal.

Guan Chen took the full bowl of rice from Xing Yun and gave a portion of the rice to Xing Yan for the reason of "so much, I can't eat it". If Xing Yun added something to the rice, then Xing Yan

He couldn't run away either. Seeing that Xing Yun's expression didn't change, Guan Chen started eating with peace of mind.

He took out the script from his arms and told Xing Yan the wording he had prepared along the way. He said that the last page of the script was blank, which greatly affected his character creation. He hoped that Xing Yan could guess the general content of the last page.

Come out so that he can be confident during the audition.

"I have also tried the [big goal] and [small goal] you taught me before, but without this page, the [big goal] cannot be understood, and the character of the killer cannot be established."

Xing Yan is very experienced and made almost the same judgment as Qian Liangyi: "Maybe it's out of confidentiality; maybe the director himself didn't think about how to write it; maybe the director didn't want the actors to know on purpose, thinking that this way of acting can achieve his goals.

desired effect.”

Guan Chen was a little disappointed, feeling that Teacher Xing was really useless, as he was on the same level as Qian Liangyi.

Fortunately, Xing Yan took a sip of tea, and the old god provided a third possibility: "In some scripts, the actors are determined first, and then the characters are perfected. This blank page may be a question for you, etc.

When it comes time for the audition, ask what you think it will be like."

After hearing this, Guan Chen felt it made sense.

He was thankful in his heart that he was not fooled by Qian Liangyi!

Xing Yan asked Guan Chen to eat first, while he himself put on his reading glasses and read the script with great interest.

Xing Yan roughly went through the script for more than twenty minutes and judged: "[The big goal] is not difficult. It is actually quite obvious even if you don't read the last page."

Guan Chen immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and pressed his ears with his thumbs, indicating that he was all ears.

"In the creative rules of genre films, the first step is [opening scene], which is used to determine the tone and type of a film. The second step is [clarification of the theme], which usually uses dialogue to explain the theme of the film."

Xing Yan pointed to the second page and said, "Part of the theme has already come out."

The second page contains two conversations.

In one scene, after the killer finished the task, he called his agent to report the situation. The agent praised the killer for completing the task beautifully. One sentence was: "It is indeed the sharpest knife."

The other picture is of the mission scene. The remnants of the criminal group who arrived after hearing the news traced part of the killer's massacre process through a hidden surveillance camera at the scene that had not been destroyed by the killer. Some people lamented: "This is completely a killing machine."

ah……】

"[Knife], [Machine]. They are all tools." Xing Yan glanced at Guan Chen.

Guan Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had some answer, but there was still something missing.

Xing Yan continued to flip through the script, turned to a certain page, pointed to a character on it, and asked Guan Chen, "Have you noticed this character?"

Guan Chen took a look and saw that it was the heroine's grandfather. After being admitted to the hospital, the heroine worked around to make money in order to save her grandfather's hospitalization expenses.

"I noticed." Guan Chen nodded and asked Xing Yan, "Do you want to act?"

"No..." Xing Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Don't you want to act? I think Mr. Xing, you are quite suitable for this role. You will not be left to outsiders, and I am planning to recommend you to the director."

"Ah? No, no, I think, I think, I think...but that's not the point right now!" Xing Yan's face suddenly changed, he poked at the script with his finger, and said loudly: "Look at the character settings!"

Guan Chen looked over and remembered that the heroine's grandfather was in a state of Alzheimer's disease.

"This character is a small character related to [memory]."

"There is no difference between memories and ordinary moments. Only when those moments leave scars, people will truly remember them and turn them into memories. This scar does not necessarily have to be left only by sad things, happy ones can also be left."

Xing Yan said, "After the killer returns to the darkness, thinking of the days he lived in the sun is a kind of whip for him."

Xing Yan said that the status of the killer can be divided into [before amnesia], [after amnesia], [retrieval of memory],

It’s better to divide them into [sexuality like tools], [animal nature with only instinct], and [human nature that knows good and evil and knows etiquette].

"Obviously, the killer line tells a story about a tool turning into a human being." Xing Yan said:
