I didn't want to be an actor

There is nothing much to say about the filming of costume dramas, especially "Cang Lan Jue", which is basically done in the studio.

The crew is quite considerate, and many shots will be performed with the help of external forces.

For example, in order to perform the scene of being trapped by the evil spirit, the martial arts teacher held an elastic rope to pull Shen Liang to perform the feeling of struggling forward.

The tense and strenuous state he showed was because he was wrestling with the martial arts teacher...

So, his expression was very ferocious...

By the way, the special effects team of "Cang Lan Jue", MOREVFX, used real-time rendering technology, which is to combine the modeled background special effects with the actual shooting. After the shooting, you can directly see the post-production.

This is a special effect method that only movies can afford!

Shen Liang has a good relationship with the person in charge of MOREVFX. The price of renting this equipment is not very high, equivalent to 30 million for 50 days...

Later, this technology will also be used in the filming of "Shushan"...

Since Xiaotian finished the last sutra, she has lived in Shen Liang's residence. However, she has a lot of scenes, and she is often still filming after Shen Liang gets off work.

This is normal. The shooting schedule of "Cang Lan Jue" itself is very tight - it will be launched in July next year, scheduled for the summer season, and finished in August, with less than a year for post-production.

By the way, Shen Liang always feels that it is a bit of a waste for Xiao Tian to play a sweet girl...

Her eyes are too big, a bit like a Barbie doll...

Every time, it feels like she is going to faint.

Ahem...

She is quite suitable for Zhang Shaohan's route, such as "Love Killing 17"...

Youth is not only about white cypress petals, but also lies and death!

If there is a chance, ask her to play a horror suspense film...or simply play the kind of evil girl...

The studio bought the adaptation rights of the two scripts "Witch" and "Evil Woman".

Cooperate with Wu Jing's Dengfeng International to create several female action films.

"Witch" is quite good. This theme is actually quite old-fashioned. It tells the story of a special organization that specializes in modifying human bodies to make them people with superpowers, and one of the most powerful little girls escapes from this organization...

"Evil Girl" has a simpler plot. It tells the story of a female killer who was trained to be a killing machine and then took revenge on the killer organization after learning about her life experience.

But this kind of action movie requires actresses to be very skilled...

It's a bit difficult.

But she is really suitable...

1.7 meters tall, with slender limbs, straight shoulders, big chest and thin waist, tall and graceful body, coupled with a childish appearance, playing this kind of evil girl, the contrast is very strong!

Oh, Liang Ge is reading a script "Frozen Canine Teeth".

It is adapted from the novel of Japanese female novelist Nominami Chao, who won the Japanese Naoki Prize.

It is a psychologically violent work, telling the story of an experienced policeman and a new female detective forming a partner to jointly solve the wolfdog serial murder case.

This novel is very good, but not easy to adapt. The author focuses on gender confrontation - nearly half of the novel is used to describe the gender discrimination encountered by the heroine in the task force.

This novel is quite valuable in its portrayal of the survival dilemma of Japanese women in the workplace.

By placing the heroine in an extreme working environment surrounded by men, her discomfort is fully displayed.

But the story itself is not interesting. "Frozen" is a mystery novel.

It has all the elements: mysterious motives, strange tools, and bloody serial murders.

However, during the reading process, readers will have strong doubts about its nature as a mystery novel.

It comes from one of the core stories - "wolfdogs committing crimes", which limits the possibility of deep reasoning.

Even if the wolfdog is well domesticated, its function in the murder case is too single. It can only bite.

This crime method is too straightforward. Even without forensic identification, the criminal police at the crime scene can roughly determine that it is an animal killing, not to mention the wolfdog hair and claw marks left at the scene. When the author was conceiving the story, she had already put shackles on her creation. Since she chose to use animals as a means of crime, she needs to bear the simplicity of animal behavior.

This is a double-edged sword.

In this way, there is little room for reasoning, and the author can only turn to the setting of suspense about the motive of the crime, as well as the exploration of the protagonist's daily life and work and the excavation of his inner world.

Therefore, the adaptation into a movie is not very good. Japan has made a version, starring Yuki Amami;

South Korea has also made a version, renamed "Howl", the director is Liu He who made "Despicable Street" and "The Cruel History of Mazhou Street", and the starring role is Song Kanghao...

The effect is not very good!

Douban score has not exceeded 7 points!

After "Memories of Murder", Song Kanghao has become a quality guarantee, and there are few movies that do not exceed 7 points...

Shen Liang has seen "Howl", and it can't be said to be very bad, but the narrative is a bit confusing. You don't know what the director's focus is, and the protagonist has been replaced by the dog...

The revenge of the dog, its mistress, that is, the girl was abducted...

There is more warmth, but not enough reasoning!

Coupled with the usual black police in Korean movies, it seems quite childish...

However, after reading the script in his hand, Shen Liang felt... it was okay. After the adaptation, the focus of the script was on gender discrimination.

By the way, there was also a satire on the police...

This is easy to do, it can be filmed in Southeast Asia!

After thinking about it, Shen Liang called Chen Jiadong: "This subject is not bad, the cost is controlled below 50 million, it can be done..."

"Is 50 million too little?"

"It's quite a few. For such a niche movie, the box office is only 200-300 million at most. For the heroine, let's find Tian Xiwei... For the hero, please contact Lei Jiayin or Mr. Yu Hewei..."

Chen Jiadong was stunned for a moment: "You don't want to act?"

"How should I act? The male protagonist is a middle-aged man...Did you not read the script?"

"...They said the script was good and then recommended it to me..."

"Next time, please read the script first... I am now collecting scripts that are suitable for my role, damn! Fucked!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang cursed 'idiot' secretly, and then looked at the time. It was almost 9 o'clock, and he sent a message to Xiaotian, 'I'm live broadcasting, don't disturb me! ’

Then he opened the study door...

…

As a top-tier star, Shen Liang

His schedule must be scheduled for at least two years or even five years to be considered scientific!

However, he has passed the busiest stage...

Let's put it this way, as long as there is no big problem in his current position, he cannot be defeated by others!

But he is very enterprising...

Mainly a little guilty.

After all, the movies he starred in before are considered to be blessed by memories...

And the box office is very high!

The most fearful thing about a box office myth is that it will be broken...

Once it’s broken, it’s hard to rebuild!

So, he was actually quite anxious...

We must not only ensure the number of works, but also ensure that the output works are not bad at the box office...

It's quite difficult.

Because it is the Mesozoic generation that occupies the main body of the market.

He can only cast a wide net and collect high-quality scripts...

In addition, I also briefly talked about the type of script I want - a cool drama, a realistic drama, if it doesn't work, I can look for historical figures, such as Huang Chao...

It was really rewarding, the studio recommended a script "Zhang Jiao"...
