She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Seeing that Su Lingxi was wavering, Tang Wanhua smiled even more. "Schedule has never been an issue that affects our cooperation. Crime and Punishment has just been approved. The early preparations alone will take nearly a year, let alone the start of filming."

"You are the heroine I chose. As long as the quality of the film is not affected, the shooting date can be adjusted to suit your schedule."

At first glance, these words may give people the illusion of being flattered, but if you calm down and think about it, the other party's true intention is clear at a glance.

As one of the most distinctive directors in the domestic entertainment industry today, Tang Wanhua has a strong personal style in each of her films. The pictures are extremely natural and realistic, and she often uses the camera in a showy way, such as a large number of long shots, jump cuts... and the ubiquitous aesthetics of light and shadow.

There is no doubt that Tang Wanhua's directing style was greatly influenced by the French New Wave films, including but not limited to: always adhering to the director-centered system, and preferring to set up her own studio in order to seize creative control; departing from immersive strong narratives and tending to do a lot of improvisation; the purpose is not to entertain, but to express one's own thoughts and emotions, and often using the camera to encourage the audience to think for themselves...

At the current stage when mainstream films are popular in the domestic entertainment industry, her works are beautiful and unique in style, and therefore have a huge audience base.

But from the fact that she insisted on submitting "The Rose Thorn" to the Berlin Film Festival, it can be seen that Tang Wanhua never gave up the idea of ​​taking Chinese-language films to the international stage.

The fact that "The Rose Thorn" was shortlisted for the main competition unit and won the Best Actor Award just proved how correct her decision was.

This unexpected victory also further strengthened her original idea.

If Su Lingxi guessed correctly, the reason why Tang Wanhua joined this project so strongly this time, and even invited her to join with an unprecedented proactive attitude, was because of the overseas market.

Looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry, the only actor who has some international fame is Ruan Tang and Su Lingxi.

Therefore, Tang Wanhua no longer maintained her previous high-profile attitude and took the initiative to fly to Huicheng and extend the invitation to her in person.

The promise and attitude given by the other party were full of sincerity. Su Lingxi was not a person who didn't know what was good for him. He didn't continue to make trouble and responded enthusiastically: "With your words, Director Tang, I feel relieved."

After initially confirming their intention to cooperate, the two had lunch in harmony. Before leaving, Tang Wanhua took the initiative to give her part of the script of "Crime and Punishment".

"It's a very original story and I think you'll be fascinated by it."

Having been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, it stands to reason that such cookie-cutter words would hardly arouse Su Lingxi's curiosity. However, when she thought of the split personality setting that Yang Qian had mentioned at the beginning, she felt a rare sense of anticipation.

Therefore, after finishing the day's scenes and returning to the hotel, the first thing Su Lingxi did after taking a shower was to read the script.

It was no longer the script of "Spring Trees and Evening Clouds" that she had flipped through to the point of being worn out, but a brand new script with the three big words "Crime and Punishment" written on the cover.

The plot synopsis briefly tells the story: Liu Yu is an ordinary housewife who has been suffering from depression and headaches for a long time because of her husband's infidelity. At the suggestion of her friends, Liu Yu decided to seek medical help. With the help of psychologist Shi An, Liu Yu's depression has obviously "improved", and the relationship between the two has gradually warmed up as they spend more time together.

At this time, a very serious kidnapping and murder case occurred in Taidao City. The victims were Liu Yu's husband Ke Yun and his lover A Rui in the company. Based on this situation, the police immediately listed Liu Yu, who had sufficient motives for committing the crime, as a suspect.

As luck would have it, 48 hours before the incident, Shi An was surprised to realize that Liu Yu was actually a multiple personality disorder patient, with as many as 7 personalities dominating her body!

As Liu Yu's attending physician and admirer, Shi An certainly couldn't watch her being sentenced to death by the police. He tried every possible means and method to find evidence to prove that Liu Yu suffered from multiple personality disorder and thus avoid the death penalty. Unfortunately, the police were always skeptical about his statement and believed that he was tampering with the facts in order to help his lover escape punishment...

The whole story is set in Taiwan in the 90s. Judging from the script outline, there are no large-scale scenes such as explosions or too many group scenes. Excluding the pay for the leading actors, the final filming cost will not be too high.

After accumulating one film after another, Su Lingxi now has a group of audiences of her own. As long as she doesn't mess up her acting, this film will definitely make money.

As for whether they make a lot of money or not, it depends on whether the director and screenwriter can maintain their level from beginning to end.

Su Lingxi let out a breath and glanced at the credits section on the last page.

At present, except for director, producer and screenwriter, the other columns are still blank.

Obviously, this is a very new project, and she is the only actor that the producers and directors are targeting at this stage. They should be planning to persuade her to act first, and then use her as a gimmick to attract more investors and high-quality actors to join.

Although she had not acted in many movies in her previous life, Su Lingxi had learned a lot about movies in the past few years from Ruan Tang. She had also participated in many projects and read countless scripts. With her current judgment, she could conclude that this was a very attractive project in the domestic market.

First of all, judging from the script, the plot is no longer limited to the common three-piece set of "murder and pursuit of murderer on rainy night" in China, and the dramatic conflict is not entirely between the police and the murderer, but more on the several confrontations between Liu Yu and Shi An - is it true that Liu Yu suffers from multiple personalities? Why did she suffer from such a rare mental illness? Will Shi An really help her get rid of the crime?

This series of questions will arouse the audience's curiosity from the beginning of the film, and there will even be a shocking reversal until the end. From a plot perspective, it is novel enough.

Secondly, whether it is multiple personalities, suspense or crime, these themes are genre films with a basic audience and a high lower box office ceiling. The character arc of Liu Yu is full, which can reflect her acting skills. As long as she can interpret the seven personalities well enough, she will definitely get at least a Golden Horse Award nomination, and maybe she can even win the Best Actress award directly with this role - after all, Su Lingxi can see that the Golden Horse Award is one of the reasons why the screenwriter deliberately set the story background in Taiwan.
