I didn't want to be an actor

Rao Xiaozhi used to be a drama director. He had a good relationship with Li Yapeng and co-founded the Spring Drama Studio.

He has directed many dramas, such as "Hello, Robbery!", the drama version of "Love to the End", "Salted Egg", "Northeast Past", "Stupid Egg"...

He is quite famous in the drama circle.

In 2015, "Charlotte's Troubles" came out, and drama adaptation became a new outlet. Then, in 2016, "Hello, Madman!" directed by Rao Xiaozhi was released...

The reputation is okay, but the box office is very sluggish!

In the same year, there were three relatively popular drama adaptation movies, "Mr. Donkey", "Twelve Citizens", and "Hello, Madman", and "Hello, Madman!" was at the bottom.

Rao Xiaozhi was holding back a fire in his heart.

Especially after seeing so many bad reviews...

——I desperately want to make the second one and do some box office results to prove myself!

The producer behind this movie is BJ Culture, and Guo Fan introduced it...

"The Panic" first has characters, and then the story is built around the characters...

Such a script has high requirements for actors!

In fact, directors who have transformed from drama directors have high requirements for actors.

Because drama belongs to the art of actors!

Movies are the art of directors. To be honest, in a movie, there is no essential difference between actors and sound, light, and scenery. They are all elements of the movie. In addition, the language of the lens and post-editing greatly reduce the role of actors.

The stage of drama is different. There is no editing, no redo...

It depends on real skills. Every move and every word needs to be carefully considered...

Used to shooting dramas, Rao Xiaozhi naturally attaches great importance to actors!

Originally, Rao Xiaozhi was going to continue working with Wan Qian, but Wan Qian became popular and had three dramas in hand, "We Are Young" by the Noon Sunshine team, "The Secret of the Three Kingdoms: Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" by Tangren, and "Escape" with Chen Kun...

There was no time at all...

Then he met Ren Suxi through an introduction...

Oh, the male lead Ma Xianyong, Chen Jianbin decided to play...

Then there was Hu Guangsheng and Li Haigen, the one with glasses and a big head...

To be honest, he was not optimistic about Shen Liang!

The reason is very simple, Shen Liang is too young, and his image is far from Hu Guangsheng...

But Guo Fan reminded him, "Shen Liang is a popular traffic star. If you use him, it is equivalent to saving 10 million in publicity fees. As long as he likes this drama, he will support you with real money! '

Rao Xiaozhi didn't believe that saving 10 million in publicity fees would be a big deal, but the phrase "supporting you with real money" was very touching!

Directors must be short of money.

Rao Xiaozhi is even more short of money!

Beiwen didn’t pay much, otherwise, Yuanshikong wouldn’t have Zhengfu and Emperor Entertainment Group to join—Zhengfu is Han Jianu’s company…

Why not give enough money?

Nonsense, investors give money based on performance. Rao Xiaozhi’s last movie was not a success, and the producer’s market forecast for “The Shot” was not high, so they naturally wouldn’t give as much as they wanted!

…

Mao Buyi is going to BJ, he has a lot of work to do. “King of Glory” asked him to compose personal songs for Xiang Yu and Yu Ji; in addition, he also sang the theme song “Please Remember Me” for the Disney movie “Coco”…

By the way, the theme song of “The King of Fire” was also given to him…

Shen Liang rejected many such jobs because of filming.

However, Watsons Distilled Water announced that Shen Liang was the spokesperson and created an exclusive song "Love You at 105 Degrees" for the advertisement...

"I probably won't be able to participate in the next tour... I have too much work to do!"

"...Have you told your boss?"

"Yes..." At this point, Shen Liang warned Mao Buyi seriously: "If you feel that you have too much work, tell your boss. He is counting on us to make money now..."

Mao Buyi subconsciously said: "But you haven't made any money in the past few months!"

"Who said I didn't make money? The version of the song I created Half of the rights income should be contributed to the company! Moreover, I am helping the company repay favors when I appear in variety shows..."

"...favors?"

"You won't understand even if I tell you, I'm leaving first...bye!"

Shen Liang originally wanted to invite Mao Buyi to appear in the next episode of "Mars" - the next episode of "Mars" requires guests to invite their friends to participate...

Forget it, Mao Buyi is not suitable for the rhythm of "Mars", and Shen Liang has already told the program team that he will invite Wu Mengda, and the program team also said that as long as Wu Mengda appears, he will be paid more than 1.5 million!

Uh, Uncle Da needs to make money...

Wu Mengda has experienced 4 wives and families on and off, and almost every wife has children to raise, and needs to pay child support every month...

Lin Chiling's fee for the last two episodes of "Go Fighting" was 4 million!

Uncle Da is much more popular than Lin Chiling.

Shen Liang designed two topics for him, one is investment, and the other is absurd things in his youth...

It will definitely be popular!

Oh, Shen Liang also flew to BJ, but he went to the "Flustered" studio for an audition...

After meeting Rao Xiaozhi, Shen Liang first auditioned a scene, which was co-starred by Rao Xiaozhi and screenwriter Lei Zhilong... In that scene, Ma Jiaqi asked them why they robbed a mobile phone store - why not rob a bank, but a mobile phone store?

"Mobile phone stores are easy to rob, there are no security guards."

"Just don't dare to rob a bank!"

"I really don't dare."

"What don't you dare? What don't I dare?" Shen Liang was very angry, as if his tail was stepped on: "The time is not yet ripe, we are just entering the industry now, we must start steadily, step by step!"

The acting... is a bit exaggerated!

But the taste is right, that is... Shen Liang is so handsome, it's hard to imagine that he is a fool.

"What do you think of Hu Guangsheng?"

Shen Liang thought for a while and said: "I think Hu Guangsheng came out of the countryside to make a name for himself... He should have worked for a few years first, but found that he couldn't make any money at all, so he took an evil path... Although the method was very extreme, But in his heart, this is the pursuit of life! ”

"...How many years have you been working?"

"...It's impossible to think about robbery as soon as you come to a big city...That's what I think."

"Then your age is inappropriate."

Shen Liang nodded: "I don't think it's appropriate either... Hu Guangsheng should be around thirty years old... I'm only 22 this year, and I'm definitely not sure about the relationship between Hu Guangsheng and Ma Jiaqi..."

In "Panic", the emotional line between Ma Jiaqi and Hu Guangsheng is actually very complicated...

Everyone around Ma Jiaqi, including her brother, did not understand her. She no longer hates her brother, who is a paraplegic and has lost his dignity in life. Now she just wants to die with dignity and dignity. Helping Ma Jiaqi die is what most people think is evil, just like what Big Tou shouted on the rooftop, ‘You are killing people, I have no murderer friends! ’

But Hu Guangsheng is willing to kill her!

Because Hu Guangsheng regards dignity as the most important thing.

Ma Jiaqi repeatedly asked them to kill her. When Hu Guangsheng saw Ma Jiaqi's pain and despair of urinary incontinence, he decided to help Ma Jiaqi commit suicide...

He and Ma Jiaqi discussed the issue of Naihe Bridge very seriously. He said that the bridge is also a road, a road on the river. This shows that, like Ma Jiaqi, he recognizes that death is also a positive way to solve problems...

This kind of obscure emotion requires an acting talent to express it accurately!

Shen Liang was far behind.

"So what do you think of our play?"

Shen Liang nodded: "...very good, otherwise I wouldn't come to the audition!"

"Really optimistic?"

Hearing this, Shen Liang thought of something and said: "...Oh, I heard Director Guo said that our crew does not have enough funds? How about I invest half of it?"

"What I mean is that if you like it, you can help write a promotional song..."

"No problem... What about investment?"

"...Investment of course also requires..."
