Chapter 79 Personal Studio
September.
Many cities north of the Yangtze River have begun to cool down slowly. I don't know if it is the heat island effect, but the temperature in Beijing is still hot.
Wang Chen came out of the tax office wearing sunglasses, Xiaodong slowly drove the car up to him, and he couldn't wait to get in.
"How is Brother Chen? Is everything going well?"
"It's okay, it's a good thing...otherwise I don't know how many times I would have to run, you go across the road and buy me a cute lot, it's so hot!"
Xiaodong glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Chen, you'd better stop eating. Sister Jiarun said yesterday that you are fat... If you continue to eat, how can you be an actor!"
After Wang Chen successfully terminated the contract from the company, he has been busy opening his own studio for more than half a month.Of course, he also has some announcements as an actor, such as being interviewed by a magazine character last week, and participating in the recording of a talk show yesterday.There is another party to be attended next week to consolidate fashion resources.However, the hard work and the scorching heat in Beijing inevitably made Wang Chen relax his management.I don't go to the gym, and my mouth is getting richer and richer.Bai Jiarun accompanied him to record a program yesterday, saw Wan Chen through the camera, and immediately warned with a sad face: "Wan Chen, let me tell you seriously, you must pay attention to body management. Even if you want to open a studio, you are still a Actors, pay attention to being worthy of your identity as an actor!"
Wang Chen had no choice but to be warned by Bai Jiarun and supervised by Xiaodong, so he had no choice but to give up his plan to eat cold drinks, "Then go and buy me a bottle of iced mineral water."
"Okay!" Xiaodong agreed to go.
Only then did Wang Chen look down at the document in his hand.
Licenses, tax registrations, house leases...the last thing to do is to open a bank account.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Chen leaned back on the soft leather seat in the car and rubbed his forehead.
He remembered the quarrel with Qin Yue that broke out in August.
As stubborn as Qin Yue, he finally signed the termination agreement under his insistence.The next day when the company went to work, the secretary of the president's office naturally issued a contract termination notice to the entire company... This was quite an "earthquake" in Shunxing Entertainment.After all, many people are aware of the special relationship between Qin Yue and "Wan Chen". Wan Chen just participated in the new drama "Advertising Pioneer" produced by the company, and the company sponsored the Golden Peony Award, which helped him win the best newcomer trophy.In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wan Chen is the fastest-growing actor with the best future among the 90-generation niche students.
This was supposed to be a resource that the company had put to good use, but why was the contract terminated all of a sudden?
The news spread like wildfire in the circle, and some well-connected gossip accounts immediately hinted at the news on Weibo.
After the Golden Peony Awards came to an end, all the actors were actively posting drafts for themselves. Only the "dark horse" Wan Chen seemed particularly deserted. Many people speculated that Wan Chen was probably rejected by the sponsor. This award counts as a breakup fee.Looking at it now, the number of announcements has decreased a lot, and the amount of exposure is also declining. I don't know if the agent will change, and who will take over the next job... After all, Wanchen's situation seems to be full of flowers and flames, but In fact, no one in the circle knew that he was supported by the benefactor.Without the benefactor, how much strength would he have?
Naturally, a large number of fans believed this sensational news.
Those who can become fans of Wanchen are mostly "career fans" as the mainstream, accompanied by a small number of "mother fans". There are really not many "girlfriend fans"... After all, everyone has watched the video back then.
Most of the fans are happy to hear that Wanchen and the gold master have separated. Next, the "brother" will be recognized by others based on his strength, which is a good thing.
But there were also many fans who started to worry unfoundedly, worried that the resources behind Wanchen would not be able to keep up, and after finally winning the award, they immediately became "carrots".
Therefore, in order for Wanchen to find a new home as soon as possible, fans began to spare no effort to create momentum on Weibo, hoping to create an aura of "our brother is very popular!"
But what fans don't know is that this move is really redundant.
Wang Chen has indeed received many olive branches from brokerage companies, but he has rejected them all.Even if he didn't cooperate with Qin Yue, Wang Chen never considered cooperating with Qin Yue's opponent.If you really want to sell yourself, you might as well sell it to Qin Yue honestly. Now he wants to be independent completely.
Lin Xiyin also called to ask if there was a conflict between the two, and asked if Wang Chen had any intention of signing with Xingyu.
Wang Chen didn't tell the truth, he just said: "We are fine, but I just want to open my own studio, and I don't want to be affiliated."
Lin Xiyin has such an emotional intelligence, she hung up the phone immediately without any doubt after hearing it.
On the same day, the vice president of the company's brokerage department came to give a report to the little prince, saying that Wan Chen had left Shun Xing, and they could sign him and cultivate him.
Lin Xiyin waved her hand: "What are you cultivating? It's your turn to cultivate? Don't make any wishful thinking. He and Shun Xing have a good relationship, and they have a good relationship after breaking up the family. Give up your mind... How is Bai Ying doing recently?" ?”
Vice President: "..."
Can't we just talk about business? ? ?
Fortunately, although there are many speculations from the outside world, the hearts of fans are floating.
But the process of opening a studio here for Wang Chen went smoothly. At the end of September, his personal studio was formally established. The next Xiaodong.
They rented an office in an office building on the East Third Ring Road, which was only a ten-minute walk from Qin Yue's company.The office consists of two rooms with one entrance and one exit. Inside, Wang Chen is the head of Xiaodong's house, and asked him to move all his belongings here, so as to save rent.Outside is Bai Jiarun's daily office, which has a computer and stores some documents and materials.
The listing is placed at the door, a very small one.
It says Wanchen Personal Studio.
On the day of moving in, the official Weibo of the studio also officially completed the certification and met with fans.
Now that the dust has settled, everyone knows that Wan Chen, who was "forced to leave", did not sign any brokerage company, but completely set up his own company.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the circle.Everyone felt that Wan Chen's decision was a bit impetuous. Even though his current development momentum seems to be good, after all, apart from the TV series "Advertising Pioneer" produced by Shun Xing, he has not been an official male number one. Now Just set up a personal studio, how can you have enough funds to maintain the operation?Without the resources of a big company, how can he take it to the next level?
However, an interview with Wang Chen was quietly broadcast.
The host just asked Wang Chen about his next career plan, and he replied with a smile: "I am not a particularly assertive and aggressive person. I used to like to follow other people's rhythm and do things for others, even those things I'm not very willing, but I feel more at ease in my heart... But recently, how should I put it? It can be regarded as growth. I think that if you want to keep everything pure, you can't rely on others, you can only rely on yourself. Even in the future Work and life will be a lot of hard work, and I am willing to work hard for my goals. I may set up a personal studio, and I want to walk the next road by myself."
On TV, his face is still exquisite and handsome, which is the kind of facial features appreciated by mainstream audiences and the face of a male god sought after by fans.
But this is a rare personal interview of "Wan Chen". Compared with the gentle and youthful image in the reality show, the TV drama is either a playboy, or the boy next door, or the male number two with a naive vibe. "Wan Chen" is his truest and most authentic self.
There was a faint determination in his eyes, but this determination was non-aggressive, as if he only wanted to do his own thing well and not hurt anyone.
Wan Chen is not very old, but in this interview, he looks neither impatient nor meek, with a tenacity, and answers any questions with a certain degree of advance and retreat. It sounds thought-provoking, but he doesn't feel Too didactic.
The host asked again: "Now that you have won the Golden Peony's Best Newcomer Award, it should be considered an affirmation, right? Then what is your perception of yourself?"
"I like acting very much. Compared with winning an award, I may care more about my contribution to the completion of the work. The standard to measure me should be in the mind of the director. Whether I have interpreted a character well and whether my performance It is close enough to his imagination. In the crew, the actors are just like any job, they are a part of the work. Before I got this award, I worked hard for the whole work with the mentality of a part. Now I get this award , I will not change my original intention, no matter what role I receive next, I will try my best to interpret it and achieve it, not myself."
An attitude that is neither humble nor overbearing, a humble but natural answer.
The ratings of this interview were not too high on the day it was broadcast, but afterward, under the Amway of netizens, the number of replays was surprisingly high.
Not only did Wan Chen attract a large wave of fans from passers-by, but it also made many doubts from the outside world disappear.
If he established a studio not to pursue higher fame and fortune, but to achieve a more authentic self, then why not?
However, in addition to ordinary viewers, there are two other people who also saw this interview.
One is Qin Yue.
Although Wang Chen said on his lips, he just left his career and his relationship remained the same.But the other party's persistent desire to leave Shun Xing still dealt a big blow to Qin Yue.During this period of time, Qin Yue seldom went home early, either to socialize or to work overtime.When he got home, Wang Chen was probably too tired to sleep soundly.Only Wang Chen who closed his eyes and showed no aggression could give Qin Yue a sense of security. He hugged each other quietly and tightly, and the entangled limbs of the two made Qin Yue feel at ease.
Wang Chen has never left Shun Xing before, and in Qin Yue's heart, Shun Xing has already become a business owned by the two of them.They have no children, but Shun Xing grew up with the joint efforts of the two.Qin Yue never thought that one day, Wang Chen would leave Shun Xing and let him go.
He knew that Wang Chen had been busy with the establishment of the studio recently, but Qin Yue was evasive and didn't ask a word.Of course he wouldn't hope that Wang Chen would encounter any setbacks, but he also hoped that Wang Chen would regret it, return to the safe area he could control, and stay with him every step of the way.
But Wang Chen didn't come back, and everything went well.
Qin Yue should have expected it.
Eight or nine years ago, Wang Chen ran up and down with him like this, building relationships with directors and befriending other production companies.Wang Chen has come through such a difficult road, not to mention opening a small studio for himself.
When he was at work, he heard employees talking about Wan Chen's interview, saying that his performance was unexpectedly good.Qin Yue searched the Internet and saw the replay.
Wang Chen, who is busy with his career, looks good and energetic.
When it comes to my own thoughts, I even talk about it in a leisurely and unhurried manner.
Qin Yue suddenly realized that Wang Chen seemed to have changed a lot.He is no longer the young man he was ten years ago, in the bar, unable to suppress his emotions, staring at himself with big watery eyes that flickered and flickered, asking for anything.
After so many years, Wang Chen has had more ideas of his own, and has become more and more determined in his pursuit of career planning.
He heard Wang Chen say, "If you want to ensure the purity of everything, you can't rely on others, you can only rely on yourself."
Qin Yue thought unwillingly, am I someone else from you?Why can't you rely on me?
But as soon as he looked up, he saw the Golden Peony Award trophy discarded by Wang Chen on his table, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.
Yes, he personally destroyed the purity that Wang Chen wanted, so how can he be reliable?
And the other person who saw this interview was Luo Shaoxin, the director of "Looking for the True Murderer of Love".
What he saw was a live broadcast. Originally, he was just bored playing on the TV at home, but when he saw an acquaintance's face on the screen, he stopped.
If Luo Shaoxin heard Wang Chen's words in the crew, he would probably just take him as flattery.And from the show, I heard an actor sincerely said, "The standard to measure me should be in the director's mind, whether I have interpreted a character well, and whether my performance is close enough to his imagination", Luo Shaoxin couldn't hold back completely The mood is surging.
For a director, the actor he admires the most is not the one who treats the camera as his own stage and plays recklessly.No matter how talented and talented, such an actor can easily get out of the director's control and run counter to the core of the whole story.The unscrupulous show off in front of the camera can be said to be a performance that every director hates very much.The better an actor is, the easier it is to fall into himself.
If the performance of an actor cannot be balanced and coordinated with other components or actors in the picture, then the resulting work must be imperfect.
However, which actor is willing to be the director's marionette?
——However, Luo Shaoxin actually met him!
He immediately picked up his mobile phone and called his long-time mentor, director Gao Siyuan, "Director Gao, I have a new movie that an actor would like to recommend to you. I wonder if you are interested?"
