I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 627 Huang Bo Let It Go! (55)

"Let me introduce you to the famous screenwriter and director Dong Runnian, my senior brother..."

Shen Liang pulled Dong Runnian over and introduced him to Wu Jing: "This is Wu Jing!"

“…Teacher Wu Jing!”

Dong Runnian quickly greeted...

In the domestic entertainment landscape and film field, Shen Liang is the clear leader, followed by six middle-aged actors - Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, Shen Teng, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang and the rapidly rising Zhang Yi!

Judging from business performance alone, it is obvious that among the six middle school students, Wu Jingneng ranks first.

Wu Jing chatted briefly with Dong Runnian and then left - they had made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.

"Brother, you came to see me?"

“This is the script for ‘Keep You Safe’… Take a look!”

"…Um."

Shen Liang took the script and looked through it...

The script structure of "Keep You Safe" is a typical classical three-act narrative.

The first act establishes the protagonist, sets up tasks (moving graves, refuting rumors), begins story B (a good brother is framed), and the nominal villain (Mr. Feng) appears. The protagonist has to embark on a journey to clear the name of the dead orphan girl.

The second act is GAME TIME (also called entertainment games), from the first pet groomer stealing mud, to the sister's escape from the secret room, to Chairman Jin, and the temple urn chase...

This series of jokes makes up the middle section.

The third act is the final battle, where the protagonist finally finds the source of the rumor. At this time, the protagonist, the nominal villain Mr. Feng, the real villain Mr. Perfect 421, and the good brothers of story B who were framed all come together, and the problem is solved.

Story B, a good brother was framed. He was playing with his mobile phone on the subway and was suspected of being secretly photographed by a female internet celebrity, and then he was cyber-bullied!
It seems to be going quite smoothly - if it is created purely according to the rules of drama, there will definitely be no problem with the script, because these techniques are successful methods that have been verified by a century of film history. As long as you use them, you won't go wrong.

But...it always feels a little off.

Generally in this kind of three-act classical narrative, story B is mostly a love story, but...it is obviously not appropriate to arrange another love story for Wei Ping'an in "Keep You Safe".

Therefore, Shen Liang suggested changing the plot to one of being falsely accused of secretly filming...

——Reference to the incident of 'Uncle was suspected of secretly photographing and was still exposed by a woman after proving his innocence'...

Just to get some attention!
Actually, this story is enough to support a movie, but using it as the B story is a bit distracting...

After a quick glance, Shen Liang said nothing. Dong Runnian asked him, "How do you feel?"

“It always feels a little off…”

Dong Runnian took out another script: "Then take a look at this!"

Well, this time Wei Pingan is a middle-aged loser. He has reached middle age, has no career, and even his wife has become his ex-wife...

In addition, the B story was changed to the daughter being bullied for upholding justice...

It looks a lot smoother!

However, Liang Ge soon noticed the problem: "If you change it like this, I won't be able to perform again!"

“…So, I’m very confused!”

"Don't worry about it... Think about the right actor first... I'm going to film, we can talk about it after dinner tonight!"

……

At Shen Liang's stage, it is time for him to move behind the scenes.

Of course, he can't be a director, so he can be a producer!
And to be a leading film producer.

Content is the primary productive force in the film market.

Excellent film works can attract users, build word of mouth, and drive the works to become hits.

In this market, film products sell well and generate excess profits, which encourages film companies to invest and produce more high-quality works, thus forming a positive market cycle.

In the following years, the power structure of the film market was restructured, and the focus shifted from traditional film giants to top film producers!
This also explains the root cause of the crisis faced by Huayi Brothers and BJ Culture, as well as the reason why Bona Film Group and Enlight Media have fallen into silence.

Shen Liang is not considered a professional investor now - he has starred in several of the dramas he invested in.

Therefore, in "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!", he decided not to star in it, but to control the investment. He is an actor, producer, and producer, and he has established his own circle.

From this perspective, "Keep You Safe" can also be built along this path...

Of course, if he wasn’t the leading actor, it would be hard to guarantee the box office.

So, we need to find a suitable actor...

I don’t know what Dong Runnian was thinking, but Shen Liang thought of Lei Jiayin first!

It is said that some time ago, Shen Liang angrily criticized Emperor Entertainment Group and "The Antique Bureau Wars", which made Lei Jiayin quite embarrassed.

Because he starred in this drama!

In this time and space, Lei Jiayin is not as smooth as in the original time and space - because of the lack of "Time Raiders"!

Although he became popular with "My First Half of Life", and then "The Longest Day in Chang'an" and "Meritorious Service"... these are TV series after all.

His film resources are also very full. He is also the leading actor in "The Whistleblower" and the yet-to-be-released "Assassination of Novelist".

But The Whistleblower sucks...

In "On the Cliff", he also played a small supporting role.

However, he is now exposed to the most mainstream resources, and the directors he works with are all top directors. He has collaborated with Zhang Yimou on all three films.

Therefore, he did not take The Antique Bureau very seriously and did not even participate in its promotion…

He took this role on the recommendation of Ma Boyong, and also had the chance to act opposite Ge You.

——As an actor in this life, I must work with Mr. Ge at least once.

However, he was quite surprised when he received Shen Liang's call.

"I'm filming "The Basic Law of Genius" directed by Shen Yan... There's a good script? What script?"

"Movie...send me the script, I'll take a look..."

Shen Liang nodded: "Okay, I'll send it to your email... Call me back after you read the script!"

……

The first person Dong Runnian thought of was Huang Bo!
The previous "The Man Caught by Light" made Huang Bo a fool...

You should know that Huang Bo is not only an actor in that movie but also an investor - Shanghai Hanna Film and Television Company is also one of the producers!

Shanghai Hanna Film and Television Company is a film and television company founded by Huang Bo. It is responsible for the investment and production of "A Good Show". Later, it produced "Hot" and "Learning Dad"...

I feel really sorry for Huang Bo...

The problem is that Shen Liang doesn't really want to cooperate with Brother Bo.

Brother Bo has been in power for too long. He is unaware of the new difficulties and ideas faced by poor teenagers. He also lacks people to make things difficult for him and has lost his keen sense of life!

He himself realized this, so he transformed himself into a middle-class elite.

The problem is that his widely recognized image is that of a grassroots...

You can't please either side and neither side will buy in.

Many people said, 'He lost himself in the constant shouting of "Boge is the most handsome"...

However, Shen Liang said: "Brother Bo... I'm not saying that his acting skills are problematic, he probably doesn't have the time..."

When he said this, Dong Runnian understood: "So, we are looking for Shen Teng?"

"We have found Shen Teng. This play will be in the style of Happy Twist..." Shen Liang shook his head: "Ours is a drama with a black humor style. I have contacted Lei Jiayin. He should call me later."

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. Shen Liang smiled and said, "Look, Big Head Brother called me!"

After the call was connected, Lei Jiayin's words on the other end of the line confused Shen Liang.

"What? You came to Hengdian? Where are you?"
