Guan Chen has the "right to attend classes at will" granted to him by Xing Yan, so he can come to class whenever he wants.

He came here without notifying anyone in advance. Xing Yan didn't know, and neither did Xiao Xiong. He was not a person without a plan. He suddenly came to class just because he didn't have to hand in homework and there would be no homework.

Walking into the classroom, I saw the stage that I had not seen for a long time.

The seat was full of people, and Guan Chen stood in the corner of the last row, preparing to listen to the lecture.

Guan Chen's behavior was not sudden, because there were several other people listening like him.

Wu Meng is an old man about the same age as Xing Yan. He wears glasses and has a grimace on his face. He seems to be born with fatigue. It makes people wonder if he can really make people laugh when he acts in a comedy.

"Some people superficially think that comedy is simply illogical, and it is a simple, amplified performance and visual presentation. In fact, it is not the case." Wu Meng pulled up a chair and sat in the middle of the stage, looking like he was in class. "

Qualified comedy is to be serious and serious about being funny. This funny refers to the establishment of [comedy logic] and the rigor of [logical cause and effect]. As long as this logic is established and presented carefully according to the logic."

Guan Chen originally thought that if the content of the lessons taught by the two teachers were contradictory, who should be listened to in the end. Now after listening to it, he found that the views of the two teachers were actually close. They both used the idea of ​​​​drama to interpret comedy.

"Comedy is about people who don't know it, just like some people don't know their blessings when they are blessed. It is also a very high-level comedy." Wu Meng said.

There were some people below who seemed to have listened to Xing Yan's class. They raised their hands and asked, "Isn't that the time to act in a comedy? Do you perform it in the same way as a drama?"

"Very good. If you have any questions, please ask them like this." Wu Meng seemed to have insufficient experience as a teacher, so he thought of such a warning.

After speaking, Wu Mengcai replied: "It's not like we don't make any distinction at all. Because compared to dramas, comedies pay more attention to a rhythm. This rhythm is not just about the shots or editing, but also the performance."

He continued: "When performing comedy, rhythm is very important. As a comedian, you cannot be dragged along by jokes and baggage. When performing, you must be clear about how many stops and points there are in a scene from the starting point to the end.

.When you get to these stations, remember to brake slowly. This is because this is when the audience needs to breathe a sigh of relief, and you have to give them this air. Otherwise, the audience will be very tired from watching and will not be able to laugh.

Can't find the space and time to laugh.

Tragedies can make you cry silently in your heart, but comedy will be unsuccessful if it only makes the audience laugh in their hearts."

During comedy performances, the audience can be "taught" to laugh. They can laugh here and laugh there. How to teach the audience to laugh? Naturally, it is through performance and pauses in the tone.

Wu Meng suggested that everyone listen to cross talk, especially old cross talk actors. Sometimes they will suddenly stop talking while they are talking. This is to leave time for the audience to applaud. "This kind of blank space is the rhythm.

"

Guan Chen feels that this new teacher is also very capable.

He was about to stay and listen to the lecture, but his left pocket vibrated slightly.

It was Zhang Jingsheng who sent the text message.

On the way here, Guan Chen suddenly received a text message from Zhang Jingsheng, saying that there was a private party, the location was in Shanghai, and the time was tonight. He thought he had encountered an unspoken rule, but he told Xie Jinzhu, who hurriedly said

No, no, Zhang Jingsheng has one of the best reputations and reputations in the industry. No one who knows him has said anything bad about him. Guan Chen followed the advice of his senior brother and replied to the text message saying that he agreed to go, but only

Only in Magic City. After all, Guan Chen considers himself very busy. He has to read and study, practice football and boxing, and take time to take photos of his daily good deeds and post them online. As of now, he has 300 followers on Weibo

Got many fans.

Now the text message sent by Zhang Jingsheng contains the specific location of the party.

If Xie Jinzhu hadn't told him on the phone that a gathering of this nature was most likely a promotion, Zhang Jingsheng was going to recommend him to a project of an acquaintance, so going there might give him a good performance opportunity.

Otherwise, for such a sudden and impromptu invitation, Guan Chen would definitely ask about the types of dishes for dinner and then think about whether to go.

After saying goodbye to Wu Meng with regret, Guan Chen pushed aside a few students and walked outside the classroom.

Xing Yun saw Guan Chen coming out and asked him, "Why don't you listen to the class?"

Guan Chen stood still and looked at Xing Yun straightly.

Xing Yun felt a little scared when he was looked at.

Guan Chen suddenly asked: "When going to that kind of private party, what is the probability that it is an unspoken rule, and what is the probability that it is a project?"

Xing Yun was stunned for a moment: "Why are you asking me this?"

"Because you look more professional." Guan Chen was referring to the field of pimping.

Xing Yun faced the wall and curled his lips viciously.

Then he came back and explained: "I was just joking with you last time. You don't need to keep saying that I am a pimp."

"Are you really kidding?" Guan Chen stared at Xing Yun with his eyes like black holes.

Facing these eyes, Xing Yun did not dare to lie: "Actually, I am a broker."

Guan Chen frowned, feeling like he had learned this word somewhere.

Xing Yun saw Guan Chen frowning and immediately said: "If it's all a gathering of insiders, you can rest assured. There are no good-looking men and beautiful women of any kind in the circle, and no one has to be the one. Now that the media is so developed, everyone is afraid of making things worse.

It's a big deal, so this kind of thing is all about your own will. And if it's a director or something, by Zhang Jingsheng's age, everyone has already been unable to do it."

Guan Chen was relieved. Otherwise, he would really be worried that after beating up everyone there, the exclusive legal advisor of the Big Brother Studio - the divorce lawyer - would not be able to withstand the fighting.

"What will I say when I get there?" Guan Chen had no experience attending such gatherings.

Xing Yun has rich experience in this: "In this circle, people can be roughly divided into two types. Those who are knowledgeable or ignorant, those who understand or those who do not understand. If you are not knowledgeable, it is not terrible to not understand, and you can live a lifetime of personal integrity.

; People who are ignorant but don’t know how to pretend to be knowledgeable have only two ways out: one, becoming a fool; two, becoming a liar.

Those who are engaged in art, especially those with higher status, have seen all kinds of people, so most of them hate people who are more pretentious and think it is boring to perform in private chats. So you can say whatever you want in the end.

Say, don’t pretend. After all, if you win the role, you will still be exposed when we get along in the future.”

Say whatever you want, don't pretend...

Guan Chen nodded and took note of it.

Guan Chen was about to leave when he thought of something and stared straight at Xing Yun.

Xing Yun looked awkward and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he just said.

"You are quite suitable to be an agent. Last time on the set of "Police", you also helped me solve a problem." Guan Chen said.

Xing Yun's heart suddenly moved. Could this guy want to invite me to be...

"I have a friend named Xiong Yu." Guan Chen said with a smile, "It's quite suitable for you to be her manager."

"…where is your own agent?"

"I have an agent."

Guan Chen told Xing Yun: "If you set your sights on her, I will kill you."

"..." Xing Yun was silent for a moment: "...Then let me consider it?"

Guan Chen nodded with satisfaction, turned and left. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and called Xie Jinzhu to tell him that Zhang Jingsheng had sent another text message.

…

…

In the evening of that day, Guan Chen arrived at his destination under the escort of Xie Jinzhu.

The location is a mansion in the wealthy area of ​​Shanghai.

The surrounding street lights have already turned on, but they are not blindingly bright. Coupled with the gloomy sky, it looks very artistic.

"Drink less. You should be a junior there, so be polite. I'll pick you up at nine o'clock in the evening. If you want to leave early, send me a text message." Xie Jinzhu was careful not to touch his car.

Anything nearby, while nagging Guan Chen.

Guan Chen kept nodding.

He looked at the scenery outside the window. Although he was amazed by the Chinese element design of the mansion, he did not show any timidity overall.

After all, in his previous life, he had been to the big boss's manor covering several acres. Hundreds of luxury cars were parked in the garage. A mere mansion on the banks of the Magic City River was nothing.

"Slow down! Stop!" Guan Chen's eyes shrank and he suddenly reminded his senior brother.

"What did you encounter? What did you encounter?" The elder brother was also very panicked, and kept mumbling words like it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, eldest brother is also very panicked, also in a panic, and he can't afford to pay, etc.

"I didn't hit anything." Guan Chen pointed solemnly in front, "But there is an old man there, let's wait for him to walk over first."

"?" Xie Jinzhu was confused.

When the old man passed the car slowly, Guan Chen breathed a sigh of relief and directed Xie Jinzhu to continue setting off.

When he arrived at his destination and said goodbye to Xie Jinzhu, Guan Chen turned around and looked at the duplex mansion in the distance, and rang the doorbell at the gate outside the courtyard.

A few seconds later, Zhang Jingsheng's voice sounded, saying to pick him up.

Zhang Jingsheng, who was not working, was just a handsome and elegant middle-aged man. After seeing Guan Chen, Zhang Jingsheng smiled and patted Guan Chen on the shoulder, appearing very friendly.

To show his friendliness, Guan Chen also smiled and patted her back.

Zhang Jingsheng looked at the hand on his shoulder and was stunned for a moment. The next second he laughed and led Guan Chen towards the house.

Walking on the road leading from the yard to the house, Guan Chen checked: "Why did you suddenly call me here?"

Zhang Jingsheng explained gently: "A friend of mine is working on a new project. There is a role that I heard yesterday and I thought it would suit you very well, so I invited you over today. Did it disrupt your original plan?"

"Although there is a disruption, it doesn't matter. I'm just reading a book at home now." Guan Chen replied. At the same time, he felt relieved, at least there was no need to kill today.

As soon as the two of them walked into the entrance hall, Guan Chen saw a person waiting at the door.

The man was also middle-aged, but he had a beer belly. Judging from his appearance and clothing, he was obviously not an actor.

"Is it him?" the other party asked Zhang Jingsheng. Although it was a question, his tone and eyes were already certain. He looked at Guan Chen.

"That's him." Zhang Jingsheng put his arm around Guan Chen's shoulders and introduced him: "This is Director Tian."

"Director Tian." Guan Chen kept in mind his elder brother's instructions and politely stretched out his hand to shake hands.

Director Tian stretched out his hand to shake Guan Chen's hand, and glanced at Guan Chen up and down for a while, seeming somewhat satisfied.
