Gu Zhen's wealthy life

"Yes, I want to find a playwright to adapt your stories. Not only you, but also some other typical examples. Of course, we will make some literary adaptations and embellishments, and we will not write them word by word according to reality. , and it will not involve your real names and affect your real life." Gu Zhen explained to Huang Yiling, "The reason why we want to make this show is because we want more people to understand the symptoms of depression, mania, anxiety, etc. Depression...and other mental illnesses of this type, so many patients and their families understand that there is no shame in such a disorder, and can actively seek treatment. We want to show the common people what depression is like What is the cause of the problem? Genes, abnormal hormone secretion, injuries encountered in life, or feelings of inferiority and guilt? How should normal people or family members of patients get along with depression patients? What kind of behaviors and words can Alleviate the patient's suffering, not make it worse."

After hearing this, Huang Yiling was silent for a while, and asked her mother: "...Mom, what do you think?"

Ms. Huang said in a tone with a dialect accent: "I think it's okay. Thanks to Mr. Gu, I can gradually get better. It's really right to help other sick people."

Her intonation and grammar are a bit odd, but that doesn't detract from the softness and reason in her voice at all.

Huang Yiling laughed and said, "I think so too."

After that, Gu Zhen consulted several former patients and their family members. Some of them were willing and some were not. Some of them, although hesitant, finally agreed to let Gu Zhen adapt their stories.

The final main body of the script was settled on twelve stories, which formed the content of the first season.

The tentative title of the show was "Innocence"—a title that alluded to the central content of the story: Mental illness is not a crime.

Most of these twelve stories are adapted from cases of the Institute, while the other half are adapted from some old news and real events.

The story of the first episode is "The Theory of Innocence · Guilty Judgment", which is about a girl suffering from depression. Because of her family misfortune when she was a child, she was sexually assaulted by villains when she was a child, and when she was old, she was afraid of the crowd. Seeking self-worth, so I got severe depression.During the period of depression, she gave herself a guilty verdict. Her parents' patriarchy and the cold violence against her, the abuse she suffered when she was young, and the severe depression she suffered later were all due to some abnormal concepts and remarks. Proof that she felt "guilty".

On the day when she finally couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide, she jumped from a tall building in the city center. The moment she fell, she met a person in the building.

Fortunately, the girl fell onto the roof of the motor vehicle in the convenience store and survived.Unfortunately, she suffered several broken bones and the possibility of disability.

……

Because it tells the story of a patient with depression, the initial tone of the whole story is relatively dull.However, although Gu Zhen himself did not participate in the writing, he took the initiative to join in the setting of the main line, and had a long-term communication with the author and the director, requiring the whole story to be bright in tone, especially the ending, which must have a heart-warming ending.

This is also necessary. What Gu Zhen hopes is that this drama can truly show ordinary people the mental state and source of pain of depression patients. At the same time, he also hopes to give the other party confidence through a happy ending, instead of creating a completely opposite social effect. .

While writing the script, he was also trying to contact the actors.In the first episode, Gu Shen has been confirmed to play the role of a depressed girl, while Gu Zhen has no idea about the actor who will play the role of a psychiatrist.

Although Gu Shen also proposed a few people, but Gu Zhen thought about it carefully and felt that they were not very suitable.Some are too young, and some have too bright an image, which is not suitable for playing an older, mature and reliable psychologist.

A few days after that, Gu Zhen heard the news that Li Ling's traumatic physiotherapy had finished and he had basically returned to normal.The other party sent a message through the charming manager that he wanted to make an appointment with Gu Zhen, invited him to dinner to express his gratitude, and also wanted to discuss some things with him.

After Gu Zhen replied, the two made an appointment to meet at a mid-range restaurant.

After arriving at the place, Gu Zhen found that the other party had been waiting for a while.Li Ling's attire looked quite casual, a dusty jacket, his hair was messy but not very messy, and his expression was listless. It was difficult to recognize his identity if he was not familiar with him.

Even though Gu Zhen knew that Li Ling had asked him to meet, it took him a little effort to confirm the identity of the other party.

The other party didn't wear sunglasses, a mask, a scarf or a hat, but it seemed that even the waiter at the door didn't realize that there was a big star sitting in the box.

Gu Zhen was a little surprised: "Why are you dressed like this?"

When Li Ling saw him appear, he straightened his back, sat up a little more straightly, and his expression changed accordingly, allowing Gu Zhen to see with his own eyes what it means to change faces... No, or it is transformation.

He asked Gu Zhen, "Strange?" Then he explained, "It's less noticeable this way."

Gu Zhen glanced at him and asked, "Are you wearing sunglasses?"

"No." Li Ling replied, "If this outfit wears sunglasses, it probably only fits the atmosphere 30 years ago—it was popular to wear a wallet and sunglasses at that time."

"Nobody recognized it?"

Li Ling replied: "No one will recognize it." He paused and said, "In idol dramas, there are often scenes where stars are recognized and chased by people while walking, so it will give people an illusion, as if It’s as if a big star is recognized as soon as they walk. In fact, they are not recognized at all. Generally speaking, when an actor wants to be recognized, he will be recognized when he puts on makeup, wears clothes with his own style, and then Walk like a big horse with a golden sword—you are guaranteed to be recognized. Other times, it’s better to save yourself. When walking normally, don’t be unique. Many people dare not recognize it even if they have doubts. Even if they recognize it If you don’t like it, just answer ‘Li Ling, it seems to be some star, right? The singer?’ or directly answer, ‘Li Ling? My wife also said that he looks a bit like me, but unfortunately I don’t act.’”

When he said this, his tone was vivid, as if he was really an innocent passerby.

Gu Zhen was suddenly amazed.

"Actually, it is an illusion that most people recognize people by their faces. We actually recognize people from clothing, body shape, movements, and manners. For example, look for people with a similar body shape and appearance that are three points like me. Man, let him wear my costume, and then I wear ordinary clothes... More than half of the audience will think that the other party is Li Ling, and I am just an imitator." Li Ling spread his hands, "So as long as you express yourself physically It's 'not like Li Ling', so it's hard for anyone to recognize it. In fact, even if the makeup is changed under the big screen, there are still many audiences who don't realize who the performer is."

Gu Zhen hesitated for a moment.

He still remembered the reason why Li Ling came to the physical therapy center and the plan adopted by the physical therapist.

Li Ling's problem is "being too involved in the drama", but the solution adopted by the physical therapist is to let him "play Li Ling again".During the whole physical therapy process, the biggest impression of this big star should be "the lack of self-existence".

For an actor-level character, it may sound unbelievable to say that he lacks a sense of existence, but in fact it is.Li Ling was born in an ordinary working family in Longgang. He has two brothers, he is the second son.Generally, in a family of three brothers, the second son is the most likely to be ignored. Li Ling's performance was average in all aspects when he was a child, so he was very inconspicuous in the eyes of his family, classmates and friends.

But he has always had a strong desire to express himself, and he really likes to express himself in front of others.This dual personality characteristic of lack of presence and strong desire for expression has contributed to his great success in acting, and it has also led to his difficulty in entering and exiting dramas.

The solution adopted by the physical therapist is to integrate "Li Ling"'s own life experience and some important events, and reintegrate it into the character of Li Ling, allowing him to complete, coherent and deeply perform himself once again.

Gu Zhen thought for a while before saying, "That means you acted well."

Li Ling replied with a smile, "Thank you."

Then he got down to business.

He hopes to discuss with Gu Zhen about purchasing Dr. Idealism.After Li Ling used Dr. Idealism, he almost quickly realized the benefits of this thing in honing his acting skills.This is equivalent to automatically simulating virtual scenes and complete various effects to support him in playing various roles and rehearsing scenes.Moreover, in such a dream, the user can clearly control his behavior and thoughts in the dream. For actors, it is like a drug like a dream.

Gu Zhen thought for a while and said: "Our medicines are not currently sold to the outside world, because we consider that they may cause mental harm to people without the guidance of a physical therapist, such as fright caused by too terrifying nightmares. However, if Mr. Li needs corresponding experiential physical therapy, you can directly make an appointment with the physical therapy center."

Li Ling asked, "Does experiential physical therapy include this kind of content?"

Gu Zhen replied: "If you are willing to provide the physical therapist with the script or the back setting, they will provide corresponding hypnosis guidance. And we will test some new treatments recently, and may use instruments to replace the role of the hypnotist. Mr. Li, you You can come to the physical therapy room occasionally."

Then he paused for a moment before continuing to ask: "Is Mr. Li interested in the content of psychological medicine?"

Li Ling was taken aback for a moment before replying, "I'm a little interested. What's the matter?"

Gu Zhen said: "Actually, I'm planning to organize a TV series recently, but it's a movie-style series of about [-] minutes each, each episode is an independent story, it can be regarded as a special promotion of mental illness and how to care for such patients I know this proposal might be a bit embarrassing for Mr. Li...but I wonder if Mr. Li would like to read the script?"

Li Ling himself doesn't shoot TV dramas very much, but Gu Zhen's physiotherapy center also helped him after all, and he realized that he might ask Gu Zhen again in the future, so he didn't directly refuse, but said: "If If the shooting time is not too long, I would like to read the script first."

Gu Zhen was also on a whim, and didn't mean to ask Li Ling to take over the role. He was more satisfied after hearing his reply, so he said: "The script is still being revised. If Mr. Li doesn't mind, I will tell you Tell me about the general content?"

Li Ling replied, "Please tell me."

Gu Zhen then told him about the general planning of the whole play, the main prototype of the plot and the news event it was adapted from, and the role played by Li Ling in it.

Li Ling had doubts about the story at first, but after listening to Gu Zhen, he felt that the plot of the whole story was extremely compact and ups and downs, and the characters were full enough.

He listened for a long time before he let out a wry smile and said, "If this is an officially released movie, then I would definitely be happy to participate. But for a weekly movie-type unit drama... I probably have to read the script before making a decision .”

Even though he said that, he actually has a little bit of intention to play the role.

Gu Zhen then discussed with the other party about the script for a while. Li Ling asked a lot of questions, and Gu Zhen answered them one by one. For some details that could not be answered, he gave Li Ling the phone numbers of the screenwriter and director, and asked him to contact him later. The screenwriter and the director contact and discuss directly.

After this meal, Gu Zhen felt that there was still a lot of hope.Afterwards, he bid farewell to Li Ling, and when he got into the car and was about to leave the restaurant, the phone rang suddenly.

Gu Zhen picked up the phone, only to hear Qi Zecheng shouting on the phone: "Gu Zhen, help me! Do me a favor."
