I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 114 Analyzing Characters (33)

For many crews, the first scene that the male and female protagonists officially shoot is the love scene...

This is normal, you two are acting as a couple, but it’s the first time you meet, or you have a good relationship, but you are definitely not a couple!

To break this relationship, add some ambiguity to the relationship between the two parties.

Romance scenes, especially kissing scenes, are the fastest way...

I understand it, but it’s really... embarrassing!

Su Lun also noticed Shen Liang's embarrassment and said, "This is a movie, not a TV series... Let them get familiar with each other first, and check the script... I don't think it will be effective if we start with a kissing scene!"

that is…

Shen Liang also interjected: "Yes, I feel that Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao's relationship is a result of getting along... It's not that they did that right away, it's not that intense!"

Xu Zheng also felt that he had interfered with the filming a bit, and nodded: "...Then follow your pace, I won't care..."

At this point, he remembered something: "By the way, when will Yang Haoyu join the group?"

"...Uncle Gong said it's possible anytime!"

"Then let him come tomorrow..."

"Okay, I'll give him a call!"

……

Uncle Gong, also known as Yang Haoyu, plays the liar. He has no name, so let’s just call him Uncle Potato!
The plot goes like this: Gu Xiaojiao sells her ancestral home, Sinan Villa, for 20.3 million yuan in exchange for her marriage, in an attempt to get both the house and her wealthy husband.

The swindler played by Yang Haoyu said that he leased land to sell potatoes and could earn tens of millions every year. His wife passed away due to illness and his child had started a family in the United States. He immediately asked her to buy a house with him, saying that they could develop their relationship slowly.

Gu Xiaojiao wanted to put the house in his own name, but Uncle Tudou said that since he was the one paying for it, the house was their pre-marital property, so why not he pay 20 million and Xiaojiao pay 30,000, and then the house would be in both people's names.

Gu Xiaojiao couldn't resist the huge temptation of 20 million yuan, so he withdrew his only 30,000 yuan from the ATM and gave it to Uncle Potato. Uncle Potato took the money and absconded while buying mineral water...

Well, a story about being cheated out of money!

Yang Haoyu also studied at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and is Xu Zheng’s junior – he was from the 97 class of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and was a classmate of Feng Shaofeng and Tong Wei!
Although it doesn’t look like…

He and Xu Zheng are old acquaintances. They are both actors at the Shanghai Drama Center and have worked together on Das Kapital...

Xu Zheng knows Yang Haoyu's acting skills very well, and he can play this role with ease!
Yang Haoyu is a guest star, but of course, he still has to be paid...

After all, Yang Haoyu is a relatively pure actor who makes a living by his acting skills.

The pay isn't high...

……

"Uncle Yang, let me introduce Jing Tian..."

After Uncle Gong finished filming, Shen Liang would definitely treat him to a meal - after all, he was invited by Shen Liang~
"Of course I know... Miss Jing..." Yang Haoyu picked up the wine glass...

"You can just call me Jing Tian..."

Jing Tian quickly stood up and took a sip of tea: "I can't drink much..."

Yang Haoyu waved his hand: "It's okay."

Shen Liang glanced at Jing Tian and suddenly remembered the saying, "Adou who can't be helped can't be made famous!"

"what?"

"I'm talking about the online jingles... and 'Southern Yihuan, Northern Jingtian, and Zhuang Xinyan who's not famous for singing'..." Yang Haoyu was startled and was about to interrupt, but Jingtian also laughed: "I've seen these too... and I even searched for Zhuang Xinyan's songs to listen to. 'Ten Thousand Reluctances' and 'Afterwards' are pretty good..."

"The queen of love songs for the common people..."

"Then why isn't she popular?"

“I wasn’t famous before. The three songs in my first EP are all very nice, ‘Sadly Land’, ‘Mercury’, and ‘Can You’. Especially ‘Can You’, which has a lot of playback volume. It was in the top five of the year on QQ Music and Kugou Music…”

"I've heard it too..." Jing Tian looked at Shen Liang and said, "I heard them say this song was plagiarized?"

"Plagiarism, I bought the copyright!"

The arrangement of "Can You" and "What Are Words" is almost identical, especially the prelude and the chorus melody...

Shen Liang could only buy the copyright...

After a pause, Shen Liang continued: "It's not the same as before. Only when the person is famous can the song be popular..."

“No wonder I wasn’t popular before…”

"…almost…"

Shen Liang wanted to explain, but he felt it was unnecessary, after all, he himself didn't really understand it...

Jing Tian changed the subject: "Xiao Shen, what do you think of my performance today?"

"Very good," Shen Liang thought for a moment and then added, "The inner thoughts are accurately grasped, the emotions are well expressed, and the dialogue is well understood. In short, it is good acting..."

Well, that's a very comprehensive description...

After hearing this compliment, Jing Tian felt something was wrong, and it took him a long time to react: "You have a deep understanding of the dialogue? I only said three lines today!"

"…It doesn't matter how many lines you have, you have to show it, and you did a great job!" At this point, Shen Liang glanced at Yang Haoyu who was eating and said, "Uncle Yang, do you think I'm right?"

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes...Extremely true!"

Jing Tian looked at the two of them suspiciously: "I always feel like you two are lying to me..."

"How is that possible?" Shen Liang continued to drag Yang Haoyu into the water: "Uncle Yang is a drama actor, and he won the Magnolia Drama Performance Art Award for Best Supporting Actor... He is an acting veteran, ask him to tell us more!"

"Uncle Yang, can you help me analyze what kind of mentality this Gu Xiaojiao should have?"

"…I…"

Yang Haoyu was speechless, and wanted to say, "I just came here to have a meal... why do I have to help others with their classes?"

Shen Liang couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Is this how you ask for advice from your seniors?

Interrupt: "You should first tell Uncle Yang about your understanding... You must first have your own ideas, put them forward, and we will discuss them together, sort out the characters, and clarify the logic of the characters... Then we can discuss the logic of the plot~"

Jing Tian nodded, and then expressed her own understanding: "... is a Cinderella. She was once a rich second-generation, and her father was a boss. Unfortunately, when she was twelve years old, her father died in a car accident. When her father died, she was still quarreling with him. This incident became a lifelong regret in her heart, so she wanted to take back her house... I think she is a good person. She loves the poor Lu Ming, definitely not the successful Lu Shiyi!"

Yang Haoyu nodded: "Yes, in essence, Gu Xiaojiao is not materialistic, she just wants her father's house back... This story is quite interesting... The role of Gu Xiaojiao is a role with relatively little room for development, but if played well, it will add some aura of a heroine!"

"The heroine?"

"The core character of this story is Lu Ming..."

Jing Tian listened for a long time and gained a lot. He looked at Shen Liang and asked, "Shen Liang, what do you think?"

Shen Liang scratched his head: "I talked to Su Lun, and she said that the origin of this story is the topic on the Internet: Would you rather work together with a penniless person, or sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor... In other words, if you can choose, would you rather have him when he is 25 and penniless, or when he is in his 40s and has achieved success?"
