I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 776 Suggestions
The last work that Shen Ao made was The Beneficiary…

Starring Dapeng and Liu Yan.

That movie was very mediocre, and the plot did not contain any surprises - not only was the "starting point" low, the "ceiling" was also not high. There were no surprises in the story, and the scam lacked logic. No matter how well the rest of the film was shot, it was destined not to become a popular movie.

The biggest surprise should be the superb performances of the leading actors!
Dapeng's performance was just so-so. While deliberately "playing ugly", he also portrayed the image of Wu Hai, a poor and helpless petty citizen.

Zhang Zixian is very eye-catching. He is smart, cunning, cold-blooded, and treacherous yet appears loyal. Every time he appears, he exudes a bit of scumbag flavor. In "The Beneficiary" which lacks a "big villain", he also contributes the most dramatic thrust to the film.

Liu Yan gave a representative performance of her career - she wiped off her makeup and said goodbye to her fans with her true self, which was restrained and full, real and sincere. Especially the line "I'm 38 years old already", combined with the difficult reality that Liu Yan is already 39 years old, it can be said to be a wonderful "unity of person and role"!
But it is still quite true - Wu Hai (Dapeng) and Yue Miaomiao (Liu Yan) are like countless people in our lives. Their wedding day is also the day they dress the most beautifully in their lives.

"I originally planned to write a black crime film about the story of "The Beneficiary". The male lead seduces the girl to get married, but after the marriage he finds that he has fallen in love with the girl and regrets his decision. He tells the male lead No. 2 that he wants to quit. The male lead No. 2 says, "OK, give me 50,000 yuan." The male lead gives him the money and they live together from then on. One day, the girl falls into the river and drowns, just as they had planned. The male lead feels resentful and starts a revenge against the male lead No. 2."

Shen Liang shook his head: "What is your theme? Is it about a criminal's self-awakening, or love between a man and a woman?"

Shen Ao smiled and said, "...You are the same as Ning Hao, he asked me the same question..."

“But I see this story later became a comedy?”

“They say it sells well.”

“…Their views may not be correct. I think this subject is very suitable for being made into a black crime film!”

"I'm a new director, and it's not easy to get filming opportunities."

"That's true..." Shen Liang continued, "I heard you're very good at filming?"

"It's not fast... it's just shooting according to the plan..."

Shen Ao likes to make plans and then execute them. If the notice says to shoot four scenes today, Shen Ao will shoot four scenes and "hand in the homework on time" in the afternoon. He has never said that he can't finish the shooting, and he will not take the initiative to work overtime...

Just treat it as a job done!
"After we finish filming, let's show it to the police department..."

"what?"

"Cooperate with the anti-fraud team... This way, we have a legitimate reason to do so, and we can also add more large-scale scenes..." After a pause, Shen Liang added, "I think the model's experience is too good... She should have been tired of being played by Lu Bingkun, and then given to Ah Cai..."

“…Is it too strong?”

"Brother, we have to cooperate with the fraudsters... If you don't do some heavy-tasting shows, the audience will think that engaging in fraud is a new way to make money... If you look at a lot of information, most people who go to northern Myanmar actually go there on their own initiative, and they know they are going to commit fraud..."

Shen Ao was surprised: “…Really?”

"You may find it incredible, but it's actually quite normal. In the eyes of many people, the fact that the country has put so much effort into promoting anti-fraud means that fraud can indeed make money!" After a pause, Shen Liang continued, "And many college students are more likely to be deceived...even those from 211 and 985 universities..."

Shen Ao: "People with higher education are simpler and more likely to believe that society operates according to rational rules. They grow up in school and are used to thinking and doing things according to rules."

"So, a gentleman can be deceived by tricks!"

……

The fraud den of "All or Nothing" was filmed at the Danzhou campus of Hainan University!
Shen Liang plays Lu Bingkun, who is actually a master of psychology who is well versed in PUA tactics and is very good at giving speeches, such as "If you want to succeed, you must first go crazy and rush for money regardless of everything";
'Try hard once and you will be rich for three generations. Try hard to avoid failure. Sleep on the floor today and be the boss tomorrow.'…

'Use struggle to raise the sails of life, climb to the peak of wisdom, knock on the door of success, and ignite a bright and brilliant tomorrow! Get started! 'In fact, this character is worth discussing, and it doesn't need to be so superficial and routine...

But it’s not necessary…

The purpose of the entire play "All or Nothing" is to show online fraud, not "The Rise of Gao Qiqiang"...

Its focus is on showing the network of online fraud: the male protagonist with strong IT skills was deceived when looking for a job overseas; the well-known model was forced to become a dealer after being tricked; and the growth process of a handsome rich second-generation master's degree man who becomes a gambler.

Lu Bingkun is just a negative prop...

There is no need to show his mental journey, no need to show how he got to where he is today step by step...

Shen Liang specially bought himself a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and chose the same hairstyle as Zhou Wenqiang. Zhou Wenqiang is the "success study" guru on Douyin who said, "There is a man named Kobe, Qin Shihuang cried, and Soha is a kind of wisdom..."

It’s not that I don’t want Nie Xiaotong to have the same style, it’s just that Shen Liang looks so handsome with long hair…

Not a villain at all!

Just go with the same one as Zhou Wenqiang.

Oh, after Shen Liang arrived at the "All or Nothing" crew, he did not start filming immediately, but watched for a few days first...

By the way, I chatted with Ning Hao and Wang Yibing a few times - they are the supervisor and producer respectively...

Shen Liang is also the producer.

It's a discussion of the style of the movie and the release date...

“In fact, this story can be started by using the method of driving a train!”

"Drive a train?"

"Many beautiful girls were deceived and then detained together. They would pick out the most violent one, and then a dozen thugs would come in and rape her in front of the other girls. They would beat her with a "train" technique, and then break her legs, with open fractures and bone fragments sticking out. Then they would throw her in a room and listen to her wailing for a whole day. If she stopped, they would come in and poke her a few times with an electric baton, and sprinkle some salt water on her wounds. She had to keep wailing for a whole day. The next day, they would carry the girl away and send her for treatment. After all, she was bought with money, so it couldn't be wasted.

It takes a hundred days for the broken bones to heal. The girl will be put in a plaster cast and fixed to the bed, and will be driven on the train during the recovery period.

The remaining beauties were too scared to resist. The next day, when everyone was hungry and scared, the thugs would throw in some steamed buns. They would definitely not be enough for the dozen or so people, so there would naturally be scrambles, and with scrambles there would be conflicts. In such a desperate environment, people's will would quickly collapse, and within three days, they would develop into internal scrambles for food and fight like wild beasts.

At this time, the thugs came in with electric batons and beat the girls with them, telling them that if they obeyed, they would be fed. 99% of them basically gave in at this point.”

"The next step is to start recording videos and asking the families for money. It's not that they will release the girls if they get the money, but they just want to squeeze every bit of surplus value out of these girls.

At this time, a female character will come out and bring hot meals to these girls, protect them from the thugs, and tell them that only obedient girls can survive here.

When people are in a desperate situation, once they see a ray of light, even if it is fake, they will hold on to it tightly.

This female character is specifically for training sexual nuns. She will constantly brainwash these girls..."

"What happened to Anna is so fake!"
