I didn't want to be an actor

From a genre perspective, "Famous" is actually a "variant" of the Blizzard Villa-type suspense film.

The protagonist of "Blizzard Villa Mode" will be set as a detective or a revealer, and engage in a wonderful secret room reasoning process.

The "detective" mentioned here is a type of role rather than a profession, such as police, prosecutors, investigators, reporters, etc. Any character with a color of investigation can become a "detective". In the movie "Famous" Innovatively, a screenwriter took on this role.

At the beginning, a group of people were invited to a luxurious villa for a "script meeting".

The theme of the script is to shoot a movie based on the case of three famous Shanghai bosses who were murdered simultaneously in the same room.

Different from the ordinary search for a murderer, "Famous" has made micro-innovations.

The murderer played by Zhang Benyu is also with everyone, and his identity is revealed almost at the beginning of the story. However, the direction of the plot is not that the murderer harms people, but to explore the truth about the crimes the murderer has committed.

If you want to write a good story about a murderer, it is natural to delve into all aspects of the murderer, so the role of detective naturally falls on screenwriter Li Jiahui.

But the screenwriter is actually a behind-the-scenes character, so the scenes within the movie, "The Demon Hero" including "The Case of the Three Old Men" at the end of the film, do not require Shen Liang's participation...

There is also the story line between Qi Leshan and Nightingale, which does not require Li Jiahui...

So, after Shen Liang finished filming these, his scenes were finished!

Also finalized are Hu Xianxu and Yu Entai...

By the way, Hu Xianxu is the only one who failed in "Famous"!

Hai Zhaofeng, that little policeman...

The flag "I am a policeman" was set up in the front, but after escaping later, you must insist on justice and reveal the truth, otherwise the character will collapse, and the ending will have to be rewritten, which will lead to more plots...

So Hai Zhaofeng must die.

It's quite pitiful that he was the only one who died!

…

Say goodbye to the crew, say goodbye to the actors...

Shen Liang didn't even stay for a night's rest.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Well, it's urgent..."

"Changjin Lake" has sounded the assembly order...

Shen Liang couldn't stay too long.

Brother Chen Kai has a very bad temper!

In variety shows, you can get angry at people and say, ‘I don’t owe you anything’…

It's normal, it comes from the studio...

In the traditional film production process, the director himself is a symbol of privilege!

This is a fact. Our film market is very short. If we need an exact point in time, we have to start from Zhang Yi's "Hero". That was at the end of 2002, less than 20 years ago.

Before that, of course we had movies, but back then movies were a tool and making movies was a privilege.

Therefore, you are right, you are indeed a master of human beings.

Yang Mi then asked: "Are you going directly to the Northeast?"

"No, I'll go to Xiangyan Village in Xianju County first..."

"...Are you the protagonist in this play?"

"Almost." Shen Liang finished taking off his makeup: "I'm leaving first!"

"...How long did it take to shoot "Changjin Lake"?"

Shen Liang said casually: "...Five months!"

"Can we make it in time for next summer?"

"I don't know... I'm just an actor participating in the show. I'm leaving!"

Shen Liang waved and left directly...

…

"Changjin Lake" opens with the scene in which brother Wu Qianli returns home to visit relatives and meets his brother Wu Wanli on the shore. The scene was filmed in Xiangyan Village in Xianju County.

This village is not well-known. It is surrounded by fields. The Yong'an River makes a bend in the north of the village, making the village surrounded by water on three sides. The banks of the stream are densely forested. There are many wooden buildings built in the 1940s and 1950s left in the village. The old house is still well preserved.

Arriving at the filming location, Shen Liang met with the crew and then went to get his hair cut, changing the size...

Then rested…

This plot is mainly shot by Brother Chen Kai.

Shen Liang doesn't have much respect for Director Chen, but he doesn't believe that "Farewell My Concubine" was shot on behalf of others...

The creations of most Chinese directors are dominated by hormones.

When I was young, I still maintained a normal sensitivity to life and tried to change the world by changing myself.

At that time, they were revolutionaries, and their films were full of revolutionary passion and impulse.

Once you become successful, it’s hard to maintain that passion!

In fact, most works of art are a way for the creator to communicate with the world.

They are more sensitive people than most people. They maintain an inexhaustible curiosity about life, and they are always willing to touch the world in more ways.

But...when they reach a certain position, are they still willing to touch the world?

"He is relatively conservative. He is an old artist who came from a closed world and does not care much about the progress of the world. He is an old artist who lives and is immersed in the past era and feels the sunset of the past era."

In a sense, this sentence is a self-evaluation!

Then...why is he still filming?

Nonsense, this industry has a huge ability to realize fame and fortune that can be seen with the naked eye. Movies are a tool for making a fortune and becoming famous.

Do you think they love movies?

Do you love tools?

Tools are mostly disposable.

Their creative power is as surging as a great river. After achieving their goal, they evaporate as quickly as water. This speed is so fast that it seems as if it has never happened before.

So, you will often wonder why Director Chen, who made "Yellow Earth" and "Farewell My Concubine", made "The Promise", "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "Daytime Meteor"...

After becoming successful, it is not easy to maintain a high desire for creation and constantly learn and update the means of expression...

So, Amou is awesome~

In his seventies, he can still innovate his creative methods. "On the Cliff", "Solid as a Rock" and "Article 20" are all good movies!

However, "The Three-Body Problem"...

To be honest, it is estimated that Lao Wang (the producer Guangguang) looked for a large circle of directors for "The Three-Body Problem", but was rejected by all of them. He had no choice but to find Amou, who is thick-skinned and big as a camel.

Amou is not a fool. He is full of self-confidence and insists on standing in the center position. He overwhelmed a group of directors and snatched "The Three-Body Problem" in an attempt to show his skills...

As for whether it can succeed...

It's hard to say!

Oh, Shen Liang opened the live broadcast room and reported to his brothers that the EP is almost done.

"On the 27th, yes, the day that "The Crowd" is released!"

"... Four songs... I feel they are all pretty good..."

"Oh, I have arrived at the crew of "Changjin Lake"..."

"The scenes of "Famous" have been finished..."

"It was filmed very quickly... "Famous" itself is a group drama, everyone cooperates well, so of course it was filmed quickly!"

"The specific release time... should be next summer, the specific release time is hard to say, mainly depends on the arrangement of the theater..."

"Opponent? My movie is not afraid of any opponent, it's just that others regard us as opponents!"

"This time "The Crowd" is the same, the reason why it is scheduled on November 27 is mainly to make a good start for the Lunar New Year..."
