Guan Chen remembered a rumor from his previous life.

The first place on the Capital Food Recommendation List is the Capital Airport, because you can get to Guangzhou in the fastest three hours.

In this capital of the world, there are a lot of delicious food. When Guan Chen came here for the first time, he noticed that there were quite a few century-old and [99 years away from being a century-old shop] restaurants.

The restaurant that the crew of "Key to Destiny" borrowed for the audition only has a history of twenty years. If it weren't for the arrogant sign on the window saying "If it doesn't taste good, no money!!", Guan Chen would definitely not bother to eat here.

When Guan Chen paid the bill, he originally wanted to pay Tian Dao and his friends together, but Xing Yun stopped him. The reason was that the gift was given in a different way, which was suspected of seeking personal gains and cheating on the relationship, which in turn ruined the impression. Guan Chen settled for the next best thing.

He wanted to send a piece of beer to Director Tian and their private room, but Xing Yun stopped him again. The reason was that he had asked the waiter and no one was drinking inside. Obviously everyone had to do things in the evening. Guan Chen had no choice but to give up. In the end, he just wanted to go in and give instructions.

I went to Director Tian to complete my homework and hand it in next time we meet, but Xing Yun stopped me because it was suspected of provocation.

This is not accurate, and that is not accurate. Guan Chen feels that Xing Yun is really annoying.

After being dragged outside the restaurant by Xing Yun, Guan Chen was holding a brochure with a confused look on his face.

He knew that he liked to eat Suhu-flavored dishes, the sweet ones, but when he tasted the Beijing-flavored dishes, he immediately felt like "going home", and his whole body, mind, and taste buds were welcoming him. The scary thing was that on the menu

When he saw soybean juice, he actually wanted to try it at a certain moment.

This contradictory feeling of body and soul insisting on their own opinions made Guan Chen wonder which one should be written after [favorite taste].

"It's almost dark, are you going to Changping now?" Xing Yun saw Guan Chen working tirelessly on perfecting the character of the killer with a notebook. In fact, as soon as he asked the truth, he already knew the answer in his heart.

"Yeah." Guan Chen responded without raising his head, and then asked him: "What about you?"

Xing Yun could go to the airport to buy a ticket and go back to Magic City now, but after thinking about it, he planned to go to the movie theater in Changping to meet his old friends. He told Guan Chen: "If you want to try being an extra,

I can ask my friends to help arrange it."

There are a lot of actors in Changping, which have formed a complicated little arena. In a market where supply exceeds demand, ordinary people have to rely on luck even if they want to play a small role.

Xing Yun's job as an agent includes the business of packaging actors and selling them to film crews. Although his business scope is in Hengzhen in the south, he also knows a few of his colleagues in the capital.

Guan Chen glanced at Xing Yun: "It's okay for you."

Xing Yun said it was a trivial matter.

However, Guan Chen narrowed his eyes and asked: "Brother Xing, you are not a bad person, are you?"

Facing Guan Chen's gaze, Xing Yun felt like he was being watched by an old detective, his limbs felt as heavy and awkward as if they were filled with lead. "Why do you ask that?" he asked.

"There should be a way in your industry, which is to sell actors to some unscrupulous companies, have them sign contracts with traps for no reason, and then the agency walks away. The company squeezes the actors desperately, and when they can't stand it anymore and resist, they find themselves

If you break the contract, you can leave if you want. You can leave by paying a liquidated damages. This is different from those transactions where you and I agree. Brother Xing, you are not involved in this kind of thing, are you?" Guan Chen looked up at the clouds in the sky.

, as if asking casually.

"I won't do this kind of thing." Xing Yun shook his head slightly, "If those people came to make trouble afterwards, my grandfather would have discovered it long ago."

Guan Chen thought for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and said, "That's good, Teacher Xing won't be sad."

Xing Yun always felt that part of Guan Chen's sentence was revealed. For example, [That's good, then I don't have to get rid of you for the sake of the people, and Teacher Xing won't be sad.]

The days in May are already longer than the nights, and the sky gradually gets dark around seven o'clock.

The streets just started to get lively.

The two took the subway to Changping District.

In the subway, Guan Chen read a book almost the whole time, and was occasionally attracted by the advertisements played on the small screen in the carriage. Among them were previews of the upcoming showdown between two rival football clubs in Beijing, and there were also trailers for a certain animated movie.

There was also a tour promotion for a well-known dance team. Unfortunately, there were so many interesting advertisements that Guan Chen only read five pages.

By the time the two of them arrived at their destination, it was already an hour and a half later.

After exiting the subway station, we still have to walk for a while. When will we see roadside drink shops and restaurants with rows of people typing in front of computers? When will we truly reach the core area of ​​the movie theater.

Guan Chen previously filmed "Police Story" and stayed in Changping for nearly a month. However, due to limited time, he was only familiar with part of it.

For example, there are wealthy areas where big stars live; streets lined with film and television companies in all directions; the world-famous Avenue of Stars; filming bases that have been expanding to the suburbs in recent years; and the most delicious dessert shops.

While Xing Yun was on the phone with an old friend, Guan Chen bought a chocolate mille-feuille at the dessert shop.

"Let's go to the south gate of the base. My friend will wait for us there."

Yes, where do you want to go?"

Guan Chen said that he wanted to try it all.

Xing Yun had already predicted it, and said that he would try the modern one first, without makeup, and then he would try the period one and then he would try the ancient one.

Guan Chen thought it was okay. After finishing the last bite of cake, and just about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice full of surprise:

"close!"

Guan Chen did not look back, but Xing Yun subconsciously wanted to look back.

"Don't look." Guan Chen grabbed Xing Yun's neck and whispered.

"Close! Close! Close!" The voice didn't give up at all, and was getting closer and closer.

Guan Chen couldn't hide anymore and turned around.

Standing in front of him was a foreign neighbor who recognized him on the way when he first came to the capital.

The information about the other party came to Guan Chen's mind. The Chinese name is Holly, but the English name is unknown. He comes from Texas, America. He studied directing at the Shanghai University of the Arts in Shanghai. After graduation, he first looked for opportunities in Shanghai, and then moved to the capital. Thirty

He is 23 years old, nearly middle-aged, not rich, married, and has a wife who also came to China to study and has a very high degree of education.

Guan Chen compared the Holly in front of him with the person in his memory, and felt that the other person was even more depressed than the last time they met.

"Why are you here?" Holly was very happy to see Guan Chen.

"I'm here to work." Guan Chen asked him: "What about you? Why are you here?"

"Keep the equipment for the crew," Holly said.

"Aren't you a director? You haven't started filming yet?" Guan Chen was confused.

Holly's eyes were filled with tears, as if he was about to cry.

"Crying while walking." Guan Chen led Holly out of the dessert shop, not wanting him to spoil the atmosphere in the happiest place in the world.

Holly sniffed and followed Guan Chen out.

Xing Yun was invisible, walking silently behind the two of them, looking around, seemingly careless, but actually eavesdropping intently.

Outside, Holly's mood recovered a little. He asked: "By the way, what do you think of the script I gave you last time?"

Guan Chen thought for a while and finally chose to tell the truth: "I watched it, but I didn't like it very much."

After filming "The Black Dragon", Guan Chen couldn't find a script he liked, so he tried to come up with Holly's script, but it was a literary film and Guan Chen really couldn't understand it.

Holly looked a little sad, but he quickly cheered up and took out another script from his satchel, saying that this was his latest creation.

"Okay." Guan Chen accepted the script and prepared to look back at it.

Holly began to talk about what happened after he and Guan Chen broke up last time. He was still writing and promoting his scripts every day. But no one was really interested in his stuff. Being penniless like this was not an option, so he just

I can find some part-time jobs from my old classmates, such as guarding the equipment and equipment for the crew, and sometimes working as a gunman and writing jokes for TV series. Life is still very difficult.

"Your wife didn't complain about you?" Guan Chen asked.

Holly smiled shyly and proudly, saying that his wife was very reasonable in this regard, "Others think that I am eating soft food, but she has never blamed me, and has always encouraged me and supported me."

"Oh." Guan Chen was interested.

Of course he was not interested in the wife, but in the way the couple got along. He just read the book about fatherhood this morning, and read five more pages on the subway. After Xing Yun’s enlightenment-level translation,

Guan Chen already barely had some idea of ​​paternity, so he also knew how difficult it was for the Holly couple.

"Where are your family members? What should I say?" Guan Chen asked.

The smile on Holly's face gradually faded away. He said that his father had always opposed him making movies because his family was relatively traditional and Texas was rich in cowboys. His father raised him as a tough guy since he was a child, but he has a sensitive and delicate mind.

As an Aquarius, he often sheds tears, which is very unpopular with his father. When he came to study in China, he finally mustered up the courage to resist, and it was also the only time in his life that he resisted. However, he has never made any achievements in China, and his father has failed to do so every year.

They have to call him and tell him that he is not made for movies at all, so go back to the United States and stop doing sissy art...

Guan Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect this foreign man with a soft character to have accomplished such a feat.

Guan Chen put his hand heavily on Holly's shoulder, startling Holly.

"Are you interested in chatting? I'm very interested in your story." Guan Chen said.

Holly said, yes, but he has a part-time job late at night.

Guan Chen said that he could follow him to guard the equipment.

But until then...

"I am an actor now, and you happen to be a director, so," Guan Chen invited, "Director Huo, do you want to come and see my performance?"
