Director Wei calmly explained, “The box office ceiling for movies with female protagonists is too low, so it’s hard to find similar scripts.

Besides, the heroine of "Masked Life" is not just a vase. She is an important clue that pulls the whole plot together, and the contrast at the end also requires great acting skills to portray.

If I can perform well, I might even be able to compete for Best Actress."

Da Tiantian nodded in agreement.

"Wei Jun, you are right."

Wei Jun thought to himself, what I said is right, I just said it all without thinking.

The heroine is just a vase tool.

It is the three main characters on the male side who really show their acting skills.

Especially the role of the criminal.

But there is no need to tell Da Tiantian about these things.

Anyway, when Da Tiantian plays this movie, she can basically be said to be playing herself as an innocent rich lady who yearns for love, so there will be no pressure.

"Wei Jun, come and take the photo. If you do, I will forgive you."

Da Tiantian said that she is very generous.

Director Wei smiled.

"I don't think I need to make a movie to earn your forgiveness."

Da Tiantian snorted coldly and said, "I haven't forgotten what happened during the day."

"Then I'll let you forget it for a while."

The King of Wei launched another charge.

Why use talent to solve a problem that can be solved with the body?

Besides, although Director Wei is confident that he can make this movie well, he would rather shoot subjects with higher box office potential.

To put it bluntly, Director Wei still has the heart of a commercial director at heart.

Although he is good at exploring human nature, he is not passionate about it.

Therefore, Director Wei prefers to use his body to resolve Da Tiantian's "hatred".

As it turned out, Director Wei was successful.

Da Tiantian is no match for him at all.

He beat them till they were completely defeated.

Even the soul left the body.

There is naturally no question of holding a grudge against Director Wei.

"Wei Jun, you bastard."

"How can you use this method to deal with a weak woman like me? What kind of ability do you have?"

Director Wei laughed: "I never said I had any ability."

"asshole."

Da Tiantian repeated these few words over and over again.

It's obvious that he hasn't learned the art of swearing.

Director Wei said that he felt no psychological pressure with this limited vocabulary.

Just curse.

Not in a hurry.

As the saying goes, beating is love and scolding is care.

After calling Director Wei a bastard, Da Tiantian also realized that Director Wei was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

It seems that he is determined not to shoot.

She is a little depressed.

"Why don't you do it? This script is very well written. If you do it, it will definitely be a critical and commercial success. It will break 10 billion at the box office without any pressure."

Da Tiantian said.

Wei Jun nodded and said, "Tiantian, you're right, but you think a billion-dollar box office is attractive to you, but is it still attractive to me?"

Da Tiantian: "..."

I really want to beat this guy to death.

Is it a big deal that you have a high box office?

Director Wei said that the high box office is amazing.

"What a shame! This script is so well-written, and you're so good at filming this kind of scene. I can't think of anyone more suitable for this role than you."

Da Tiantian said.

She thought about it and deliberately tempted: "Wei Jun, how about I give you the flower at the back while you film this movie?"

Director Wei...his heart was pounding.

But I'm only attracted to the latter.

He felt he could achieve his wish through other means.

Seeing that Director Wei didn't take the bait, Da Tiantian gritted her teeth and said, "Next time I'll imitate your little secretary and give you that in the office."

Director Wei: "Haven't we already played this?"

Da Tiantian's face turned red quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I want to kick Director Wei, that bastard, to death.

"Okay, stop tempting me. I really can't make this movie. If I do, I'll get into trouble."

Guide Wei said.

Da Tiantian didn't care: "What trouble can you cause?"

"It's very simple. I just finished filming 'An Jia'. If I film a film like 'Masked Life' again, people will probably think I hate my country or that I want to transform myself into a master of art films. I don't want to cause such misunderstandings."

This reason left Da Tiantian unable to refute.

Because the subject matter of "Masked Life" is indeed a bit taboo. "An Jia" is about the housing price issue.

"Masked Life" talks about the issue of education.

To be more precise, it's an issue of educational equity. The theme and inspiration for "Masked Life" came from a web drama Wei Jun watched in his previous life, "Hunting Crimes".

This web drama mainly talks about a very niche profession - portrait artist.

After a criminal commits a crime, the portrait artist creates a portrait based on the intelligence collected, which can perfectly identify the criminal and even skip the intermediate steps.

The effect presented looks a bit like special abilities.

But this kind of job really exists in reality.

And such awesome people really exist in reality.

The protagonist's performance is already fantasy enough, but in reality there is a portrait artist who is even more awesome than the protagonist in the TV series.

It’s just that reality doesn’t follow logic, but TV dramas do.

Therefore, the protagonist in "Hunting Crime Picture Book" gives the audience the impression that he is abnormally powerful, as if he is cheating and it is not real at all.

But these are not the points that attract Wei Jun.

What really attracted Wei Jun was a case in the web series "Hunting Crime Picture Book". "Hunting Crime Picture Book" is not a web series that mainly tells a story, but a web series that focuses on characters.

For this drama, portraying the character of the portrait artist is the focus, and all the plots and stories serve the character of the portrait artist and this profession.

The screenwriter of this drama also wrote publicly that when they were filming this drama, they thought about whether to focus on the story or the characters. In the end, their creative team reached a consensus on the idea - to focus on the characters.

Their expectation for the drama "Hunting Crime Picture Book" is that after filming, the audience will be left with a deep impression of the profession of portrait painter, including the protagonist, rather than a deep impression of a particular case.

This choice is actually not wrong, because judging from the effect, "Hunting Crime Picture Book" is a success.

It is very popular, has good results and a good reputation.

However, this shooting method is acceptable for TV series, but not for movies.

Because a TV series can have dozens of episodes, there is enough time to establish the characters.

As for movies, a movie is only two hours long, and it is impossible to have a deep impression of the characters in two hours.

Therefore, for movies, the plot and story are far more important than the characters. In order to highlight the characters in "The Hunting Guide", many stories are simplified, and the investigation process also directly focuses on the portrait artist's portrait and even the portrait artist's solution to the case, which greatly weakens the role that the police should play.

Director Wei was not interested in any of these. What interested him was a case in "Hunting Crime Picture Book" about a criminal who transformed himself into another person through modern "disguise techniques".

It is the real "disguise technique".

Without any plastic surgery, he just became a different person.

To be precise, two people were replaced.

And these three people were actually played by the same actor.

One person, three faces. When the faces are revealed, it is really amazing.

And this story is also very interesting.

After changing his face, the criminal fell in love with a rich girl online and made her fall deeply in love with him. She even broke off the engagement with her fiancé arranged by her father.

Then at this time, the criminals kidnapped the rich girl and asked her father for a ransom.

Of course, the rich girl’s father chose to call the police.

The police intervened in the investigation at the first time.

The rich girl was successfully rescued, but there was no progress in solving the case.

Because the criminal has three faces, and the face of the criminal does not exist on this person, the police cannot find him no matter how hard they search.

At this time, the portrait artist protagonist began to show his power.

Because the criminal he drew could not be wrong, but he could not find him, so he and the police confirmed that it could not be that his drawing was wrong, and that the criminal could only not exist.

They then deduced that this case was not a joint crime at all, and the real criminal was only one person from beginning to end.

Moreover, the portrait artist protagonist even used his own portrait technology to perfectly overlap the three faces of the criminal - this directly broke through the criminal's psychological defenses.

Such an incredible ability may be achieved by some powerful person in real life, but Director Wei knew that it would definitely not work on the big screen.

You have to consider the audience's tolerance.

And the police cannot and should not be a mere decoration.

So these plots need to be changed.

But none of this matters.

The most exciting part of this case, and what attracted Director Wei, was not the criminal's method of committing the crime or the awesomeness of the portrait artist protagonist, but the reason why the criminal committed the crime.

It turns out that this criminal has very good grades.

The college entrance examination results are also among the best.

But his college entrance examination results were replaced.

The one who replaced him in attending a prestigious university, becoming a financial upstart, and reaching the pinnacle of life was the rich girl's current fiancé.

My fiancé's family is very rich.

The person bribed by the rich girl's fiancé was none other than her father.

This rich girl is more than just a rich girl.

She is still a lady from an official family.

The criminal was born in a poor family. From childhood to adulthood, his outlook on life has been that studying is the only way to change the fate of poor students like him, and the college entrance examination is the fairest way for poor students like them.

But he studied hard for more than ten years, carrying the hopes of the entire family, but in the end the good grades he worked so hard to get were taken away by the combination of money and power.

Under the manipulation of money and power, the life that should have belonged to him was stolen from him without his knowledge.

He went from being a promising academic master, a child from a poor family who was considered by all his teachers to be a talent for Peking University or Tsinghua University, to a loser who failed to get into university.
