I didn't want to be an actor

Many directors' debut films stun the audience, and then keep coming back for more and more films!

Neill Blomkamp’s “District 9”;

Orson Welles made his directorial debut with "Citizen Kane" and never surpassed it in his life;

Sidney Lumet's directorial debut, "12 Angry Men," has never been better...

Guy Ritchie's directorial debut "Two Smoking Barrels"...

Including "The Godfather" was Ford Coppola's first feature-length film produced by a regular major studio. Before that, he made low-cost films with Roger Corman.

In fact, for many directors' debut films, the scripts may have been polished for a long time. It is no exaggeration to say that they may have had the first draft since their undergraduate days.

Film the students' homework and the graduation project once. After graduation, they go to various project investment meetings. They have to tell their own stories, answer other people's questions, communicate with the producers after they are chosen, and polish it all over again.

A story that has been overturned and rewritten over and over again, coupled with the corresponding director's ability, the debut film will naturally make everyone feel wowed.

But the second work is a brand new story, and the investors will also ask you to continue some of the styles of your first work, because what they are investing in is your first work.

Compared with the hard work of the debut film, the preparation period for the second film is short, and it has to continue the style of the previous film. It is of course difficult to surpass it.

It’s already good to be able to keep up with the standard.

Teng Congcong is a good director. "Send Me to the Clouds" has a good reputation and has a box office of more than 30 million. Then he filmed a TV series "My Altay"...

If you have the chance, let's work together...

Oh, back to Liu Xunzimo: "Are you and Rouba boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"...Why do you ask this?"

"Just some gossip..."

"What do you think?"

"I guess your relationship with her is similar to that between you and Yang Mi..."

Shen Liang shook his head: "...It's different, Yang Mi is my idol!"

"Please pay attention to yourself!"

"...What's wrong? Are you worried about my misdeeds?"

"...I must be worried, our movie hasn't been released yet!"

"Don't worry," Shen Liang smiled, and then asked Zhang Benyu: "Brother Benyu, how is my reputation in the industry?"

“Very good, the brand trusts you very much!”

Shen Liang spread his hands: "Brother, don't worry about me."

While he was talking, Shen Liang's cell phone rang...it was Rouba!

"I'll take a call!"

After Shen Liang left, Zhang Benyu said to Liu Xunzi: "Brother Liang's safety factor is very high..."

Liu Xunzimo looked a little confused: "What is safety factor?"

"It's the probability of word-of-mouth collapse..." Zhang Benyu explained: "Nowadays, brands and investors are very cautious and classify artists. Those who are unlikely to collapse are their first choices...

Brother Liang falls into this category! "

"Then...what about another category?"

"A collapsed house is as good as a collapsed house..."

"What is Ruta?"

"That is, the artist has not violated any laws or public order and good customs. On the surface, there is no reason to ban him. However, because he has committed certain "well-known behaviors", investors have to hide him in order to prevent offending high-level units... This kind of artist is the most embarrassing!”

Liu Xunzimo stepped in and nodded: "It's really embarrassing."

Zhang Benyu changed the subject: "What do you think his first words will be when he comes in?"

"Sorry, I kind of left beforehand!"

"I guess so..."

Then Shen Liang came in and said, "I'm leaving first. Zhang Chi and Jiang Long will come over later. Just say that I have something to do..."

…

Although the prediction is not completely accurate, it is not bad at all.

Brother Liang went to see Rouba...

Rouba misses the truth - the truth is endless, and every inch of it brings joy!

When a man is looking for a woman, he should look for a woman who makes him want to sleep with him;

When a woman is looking for a man, she must look for a man who can't refuse her once she touches him.

If you are tired of physical contact, where will the feelings come from?

Aren't love and emotions all about being addicted to the flesh?

Very realistic words: love begins with appearance, is obsessed with talent, is obsessed with the body, is drunk with deep affection, and is loyal to character.

It's just that the two keywords of being drunk with deep love and being loyal to one's character have nothing to do with Shen Liang...

So, it’s just about having fun…

However, Rouba was quite satisfied: "You have been very honest these days!"

"...How do you know?"

"Nonsense, I've been with you for so long, what are your habits that I don't know about?"

Shen Liang really wanted to ask, ‘What are my habits’…

Sorry!

However, I sighed in my heart: It’s amazing, I can actually infer these things through posture and habits...

"The movie will start shooting tomorrow. Are you familiar with the director and actors?"

Rouba nodded: "...I talked to the director several times, and he said he would let me play myself..."

"Yes, you play a popular figure!"

Rouba thought for a while, then said: "I read the script... You are so brave, aren't you afraid of offending others?"

Shen Liang asked, "Who can we offend? We just recorded what happened in a movie. There was no malicious editing, nor did we express our position... How can we offend anyone?"

"You even dare to hack Chen Kun and Zhou Xun...you must not be afraid!"

"Did I hack them?"

"Didn't you say in the live broadcast room that 'The Order of the Samurai God' performed by two people as a group is not as good as Guo Jingming's 'Qing Ya Ji'..."

"This is a fact...not called black!"

Rouba pouted, and suddenly remembered something: "...By the way, do you know "The Scenery Here"?"

"I know...Wang Meng's work..."

Wang Meng is very famous in the literary world, and is recognized by the world as a great writer. He can be said to be the most virtuous and respected person in the current Chinese literary world.

He is the only honorary chairman of the Writers Association, which is even better than Ba ​​Jin, as can be proved here.

However, he is known by young people because he strongly recommended Guo Jingming to join the Writers Association...

In fact, Wang Meng really cherishes talents. The heretics such as Wang Shuo and Liu Sola at that time could not do without his protection.

As for his books, Shen Liang didn't read much, but Liang Ge had attended his lectures.

This old man's words are quite interesting...

He is over 80 years old, and he has experienced everything and has seen through the ways of the world.

For example, he said that he started a revolution at the age of 14, and there was nothing else to play with except revolution...

There is a craze for Chinese studies, and primary school students wear ancient costumes in the middle of summer to recite the Three Character Classic. He said, "Has the Qing Dynasty been restored?"

It is really funny!

"The Scenery Here"...

Won the 9th Mao Dun Literature Award in 2015.

Shen Liang also bought this book, but it seems that he can't read 40 pages!

The Uyghur names are long and numerous, boring, and extremely political, so he gave up reading...

The positive and negative characters in the book are clearly black and white, as if there are only two colors in the author's inner world, that is, black and white. The negative characters are bad to the end, and the positive characters are perfect to the extreme...

In a word: it's not good.

However, since Rouba asked the question, Shen Liang immediately asked back; "What's the matter? Do you want to adapt it into a film and television drama?"

"Um... Director Li Lu!"

"Did you find you?"

"I talked to you!"
