Guan Chen was very unhappy when he heard that he had to work on Sunday.

Moreover, Xie Jinzhu works, he works, Xie Jinzhu rests, and he rests. What does this mean? Isn’t this the same as in the previous life, working as a pawn for others?

This is not acceptable. A white-collar worker who works nine to five and has weekends off is what he pursues.

When Xie Jinzhu saw Guan Chen's unkind expression, he immediately explained: "Actually, it's not a job. I just want you to see how actors prepare before filming."

Guan Chen's eyes became kinder: "Preparations before filming?"

Guan Chen remembered that the reason why Xie Jinzhu could not accompany him to the capital to audition was because he had won a role in a certain movie before.

"You will pass the audition in a few days. According to the usual practice, you have to go through this step of the process." Xie Jinzhu said, "It will be good for you to familiarize yourself with it in advance."

Xie Jinzhu spoke so nicely that Guan Chen felt very comfortable listening to him.

Forget it, I’ll just take a walk with you!

Guan Chen nodded with his fingers, as if he saw his subordinates offering bribes to his filial old boss, and he had no choice but to accept the kindness with a smile.

After changing clothes and washing up, everything was ready in five minutes.

After getting into the passenger seat, Guan Chen curiously asked his senior brother: "Where are we going now?"

Guan Chen is quite curious about what process an actor will go through after passing the audition.

Xie Jinzhu said: "Go to a place and train."

"train?"

"The gangster movie I shot, and your cop movie "Police Story", both have action scenes. These have to go through a lot of practice before filming starts." Xie Jinzhu began to impart his experience and said: "One minute of literary drama

, under normal circumstances, it can be shot in about an hour. But shooting a one-minute action scene may take ten or more than ten days. A literary drama takes about a month to shoot, and an action drama may take three months to shoot.

, three times the time.”

"So long?" Guan Chen was a little surprised when he heard this for the first time.

"When making a movie, time is equal to money, so it is necessary to train and rehearse in advance, which can save a lot of time." Xie Jinzhu nodded. Then he said that some action movies, if the requirements are strict, may be one or two years in advance.

The actors will be asked to undergo action training, and they will even be required to work really hard to learn a certain boxing technique. "Some actors have practiced their kung fu well after filming movies, and they have gone to participate in competitions and won awards."

Guan Chen's eyes slowly lit up. He was already very interested in the improved martial arts in this world. If he were to be an actor in a film like this, he could learn something with the crew's money and get paid after completing the course. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

.

"Not bad, not bad." Guan Chen felt that he had found another reason to become an actor.

The car drove slowly towards the suburbs of Shanghai.

According to Xie Jinzhu's introduction, the place they were going to was an action training center run by an action instructor.

Since martial arts was divided into "acting", it has been divided into martial arts entertainment, which pursues the enjoyment and visual effects of fighting. The industry is booming, which directly catalyzes a group of excellent action designers.

After these people entered the film and television industry, they became excellent martial arts instructors, action directors, and action actors.

Chinese films have swept the world and exported culture, starting with these action films.

At its peak, half of the films produced by Huaxia Film in a year were action films.

Although this number has decreased in recent years, there are still nearly a thousand action movies released every year. It is already a very mature genre.

Guan Chen felt that it was time for him to buy a computer. There were so many movies waiting for him to watch. If it weren't for the "Don't give up halfway" in the list of "Must-dos in Life", he would have wanted to quit his job and watch the movies to his heart's content.

In particular, he is quite interested in gangster movies. To him, gangster movies are similar to workplace movies.

He had some knowledge of some industries in his previous life. He knew that the rise of the underworld always occurred when society was at its most turbulent.

But in China in this world, society has been stable for more than a hundred years, and there is basically no turmoil.

Xie Jinzhu said that it is difficult to make gangster movies now. As the economy and technology develop better and better, all three religions and nine streams have been forced to transform. Those who make money from side jobs are almost extinct, and gangster gangs have even declined, with only some remote places still remaining.

Lawless forces.

In a big city like the magical capital of Beijing, the anti-gang operation was swept away with a thunderous sweep, and everything was completed.

"Only [New York Street] and [Corporate Street], areas where foreigners gather, still have gangs that collect protection fees. However, most of them attack people from their own countries and don't dare to attack Chinese people," Xie Jinzhu said.

Guan Chen had no reaction after hearing this, because he believed that [blackness] cannot be eradicated. As long as people have desires, evil will definitely breed. And the underworld has always been just a tool for the upper class and the rich.

.

But Guan Chen didn't say anything.

"So gangster movies can't just rely on fighting and killing, that kind of is a retro style." Xie Jinzhu said.

"Then what kind of gangster movie are you going to make?" Guan Chen asked.

"It can be regarded as an idol-type gangster movie..." Xie Jinzhu quickly explained that after being exposed to so many action movies, the tastes of Chinese audiences have also been cultivated. "There have been more than a thousand action movies, but only a few have left a mark.

Only by seeking change can we find a way out!"

Guan Chen closed his eyes without interest and fell asleep.

About an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

After passing the gate, Xie Jinzhu found a parking space and parked. Soon a young man wearing black long sleeves and trousers ran over. The man originally ran towards the passenger side, but he saw that Guan Guan got out of the car.

Chen was stunned for a moment, then walked around to the other side, shouted "Teacher Xie" to Xie Jinzhu, then turned around and led the way.

The clothes on the back of this young man were marked with the words "Training Center". He should be an apprentice. While leading the way, he frequently looked back at Guan Chen, as if to distinguish something, but his eyes were always confused.

The three of them came to a training ground that looked like a warehouse. There was a lot of space inside and the high-power lights were turned on very brightly.

Guan Chen looked around and saw that the interior was paved with mats and divided into several areas. Against the wall, there were rubber humanoid targets, knife and stick weapon racks, wooden dummies, sandbags, spring beds...

There are many steel frame structures on the ceiling, which should be used for hanging wires.

The training hasn't started yet, and several people are standing near the door chatting.

After they saw Xie Jinzhu, they smiled and said hello. Xie Jinzhu looked ferocious, but actually had a heart that was completely opposite to his appearance. He was quite popular in the circle. This was not the first time for several of them to meet Xie Jinzhu.

, each other is a familiar face from gangster movies, and meeting each other is like meeting colleagues.

Xie Jinzhu walked over, took off his sunglasses, and gathered with everyone.

After these people said hello to Xie Jinzhu, their eyes couldn't help but look at Guan Chen, who was looking at the surrounding environment not far away, waiting for Xie Jinzhu's introduction.

Generally speaking, actors like them do not travel alone when working. It is normal for them to have a small assistant such as an assistant by their side. But looking at Guan Chen's figure and temperament, they intuitively felt that he was not an ordinary assistant.

"That's my junior brother." Xie Jinzhu introduced Guan Chen.

Everyone's eyes narrowed.

Some actors who are similar in age to Xie Jinzhu even took a step back.

"He is a good person." Xie Jinzhu quickly explained.

But no one believed it.

The good old man Xie Jinzhu loves self-abuse, which is no secret in the circle. His method of self-abuse is to get involved with his fellow juniors and clean up the messes for them countless times. It is very sad. When everyone looks at him, it is like seeing a kind-hearted friend make a mistake.

Trapped in addictive drugs, I regret my misfortune and hate my inability to fight.

But I heard that Xie Jinzhu had not taken care of his junior brother for nearly a year. Everyone thought that he had suddenly come to his senses and were very happy for him.

Unexpectedly, a new junior brother suddenly appeared now.

What kind of good person is that?

【Real or false...】

"Why hasn't the training started yet? Is there a canteen here? I feel like I haven't had enough lunch yet." Guan Chen came over, ignoring everyone's strange looks, and complained to Xie Jinzhu why the training hadn't started yet. He also asked Xie Jinzhu for money.

Because he didn't bring any money.

Xie Jinzhu honestly took out his wallet.

Everyone looked at each other.

【It’s fake.】

In just a few seconds, these people knew by feel that this new junior brother was obviously not a worry-free person.
Chapter completed!
