I didn't want to be an actor

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

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

"...Teacher Wu Jing!"

Dong Leonnian quickly said hello...

In the field of domestic entertainment and movies, Shen Liang ranks first, followed by the six major midfielders - Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, Shen Teng, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang + the rapidly rising Zhang Yi!

In terms of business performance alone, it is obvious that Wu Jingneng ranks first among the top six high school students.

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

"Brother, are you looking for me?"

"This is the script of "Keep You Safe"...take a look!"

"…Um."

Shen Liang took the script and read it...

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

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

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

This series of jokes makes up the middle section.

The third act is the final battle. 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 B-story good brothers who were framed all merge together, and the problem is solved.

B story, a good brother was framed. He was playing with his mobile phone on the subway and was questioned by a female internet celebrity and secretly photographed. Then he was raped by the Internet!

It looks very smooth - if you create it purely according to the rules of drama, the script must be fine, because these techniques are all successful techniques that have been verified by a century of film history. As long as you use them, you will not make mistakes.

But...it always feels a bit worse.

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

Therefore, Shen Liang suggested changing it to a plot about being framed for secretly filming...

——Refer to the incident of ‘Uncle was suspected of secretly filming himself and was exposed by a woman even after proving his innocence’…

Get some heat!

In fact, this story is enough to support a movie, and it is used as a B story, which kind of distracts from the focus...

After browsing briefly, Shen Liang said nothing. Dong Runnian asked him: "How do you feel?"

"I always feel a bit worse..."

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

Well, this time Wei Pingan is a middle-aged loser. When he reaches middle age, his career has failed, and even his wife has become an ex-wife...

In addition, the B story was changed to the daughter being bullied because she wanted justice...

It looks much smoother!

However, Brother Liang quickly realized the problem: "If you change it like this, I won't be able to star in it!"

"...So, I'm very confused!"

"Don't worry...you should consider suitable actors first...I'll go filming, and we'll talk after dinner tonight!"

…

At Shen Liang's stage, it was time to transform behind the scenes.

Of course, he can't be a director, so he will be a producer!

And to be the first film producer.

Content is the primary productive force in the film market.

Excellent movie works can attract users to the site, build reputation, and make the work a hit.

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

In the following years, the power structure of the film market was restructured, and the focus shifted from the hands of traditional film giants to the hands of leading film producers!

This also explains the root of the crisis of Huayi Brothers and BJ Culture, as well as the reason why Bona Pictures and Enlight Media fell into silence.

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

Therefore, "The annual meeting cannot be stopped!" ”, he decided not to star in the film but to control the investment.

Actors, producers, and producers form their own circles.

From this perspective, "Keeping You Safe" can also be created in this way...

Of course, if he is not the starring role, it will be difficult 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 immediately thought of Lei Jiayin!

Speaking of which, some time ago, Shen Liang was angry at the Emperor and "Antique Game", and Lei Jiayin was quite embarrassed.

Because he starred in this drama!

In this time and space, Lei Jiayin is not as smooth as the original time and space - "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is missing!

Although he made his debut with "The First Half of My Life", and later had "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and "The Meritorious Service"... this is a TV series after all.

The film resources are also very full. "The Whistleblower" includes the unreleased "Assassination of Novelists", in which he is also the leading actor.

But "The Whistleblower" is very hip...

In "Above 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 attach much importance to "The Middle Game of the Antique Game" and did not even participate in its promotion...

It was Ma Boyong's recommendation that he took this role, and he also starred opposite Uncle Ge.

——As an actor in this life, I have to work with Uncle Ge once.

However, he was quite surprised to receive a call from Shen Liang.

"I'm filming "Basic Law of Genius" directed by Shen Yan... Is there a good script? What script?"

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

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

…

The first thing Dong Leonian thought of was Huang Bo!

The previous "The Man Caught by Light" deceived Huang Bo...

You must know that Huang Bo is not only an actor 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 mainly controls the investment and production of "A Good Show" and later produced "Warm" and "School Dad"...

I feel very sorry for Huang Bo...

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

Brother Bo has been in power for so long that he doesn’t know the new difficulties and ideas of poor teenagers. He also lacks people to make things difficult for him and has lost his keen sense of life!

He himself also realized it, so he transformed into a middle-class and elite role.

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

Both sides are displeased and neither side wants to buy it.

Many people said, ‘He lost himself in the sound of Bo Ge being the most handsome’…

However, Shen Liang said this: "Brother Bo... I'm not saying there is anything wrong with his acting skills. He probably doesn't have time..."

When he said this, Dong Runnian understood: "So, let's find Shen Teng?"

"I found Shen Teng. This drama is in the style of Happy Twist..." Shen Liang shook his head: "This is a drama film with a black humor style. I have already contacted Lei Jiayin, and he should call me later."

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

When the call was connected, Shen Liang was confused by Lei Jiayin on the other end of the phone.

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