I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 246 Heroine (24)

It's a family dinner.

Shen Liang has an older cousin who works in the procuratorate...

Besides, they are all sisters.

They are basically within the government system.

Seriously speaking, out of the whole family, only Shen Liang entered the entertainment industry.

They must have taken good care of him!
Most importantly, Shen Liang did a good job.

Grandpa really likes the script of A Sun, and thinks it has a lot of Edward Yang's vibe, except for a little bit...

"This script only shows a corner of society, but Edward Yang can analyze the entire era and the entire society!"

“…I also want to analyze the era, but it’s too difficult.”

“That’s why Edward Yang is amazing!”

"Yes," Shen Liang said with a smile, "Edward Yang is the most amazing... Would you like some soup?"

"OK…"

……

"Want to See You" is actually a pure love drama!

Different from ordinary pure love, it adds a lot.

As a pure love drama, it perfectly combines elements such as suspense, reasoning, and time travel.

In this way, it not only satisfies the CP party's love of eating sugar, but also meets the plot party's pursuit of brain-burning reasoning.

But such a script is very difficult to write.

Especially the time travel element...

But "Want to See You" forms a logical closed loop, which is great!

It's not a logical loop, but actually a Möbius strip - we can't determine who traveled through time first and then fell in love with her or him.

Everything is like a Möbius strip, with no beginning and no end.

If you simply regard the above logical reasoning as a decryption, it may seem very brain-burning.

But once combined with the tone of the drama, it immediately gives rise to a more romantic interpretation: this love is always in a state of mutual entanglement.

Or to sum it up in another sentence, "I am destined to love you."

After reading the script, Xin Shuang liked it very much and decided to take it.

But there is a problem... Who should be the heroine?
The male lead must use Shen Liang...

The hero of "Want to See You" is not a domineering president in the traditional sense, nor is he a cool and handsome guy. He is just a very three-dimensional handsome boy.

Shen Liang is fully capable of doing the job.

The heroine...the hero are so three-dimensional now, so the heroine certainly no longer needs to follow the fixed paradigm of "stubborn Cinderella" or "slum girl".

As an independent urban woman, the heroine Huang Yuxuan in "Want to See You" has a stronger personality than the hero Wang Quansheng.

Whether in the workplace or in love, the initiative is in her hands.

So, this woman is a few years older than Shen Liang...

But not too big.

And the acting skills must be excellent!
You have to be able to accurately portray the difference between 27 and 17 years old!
He sent a message to Shen Liang immediately, but Shen Liang... had no good choice.

At first, he was planning to collaborate with his idol!

I just happen to owe my idol a movie, so I should keep my promises.

But the idol...didn't respond at all!
This is normal. Jiaxing Media has signed five drama contracts with Mango TV, and its actors are working hard to shoot dramas... As the flagship actor of Jiaxing, idols naturally cannot fall behind!

The investors of "Want to See You" have been divided into Shen Liang Studio, Tengxun Films and Wajijiwa...

It’s impossible to give up the share to Jiaxing!

In addition, "Want to See You" is not a popular female-led drama in the market.

At this stage, dramas with strong female protagonists are a popular genre. Even Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but star in "Emperor's Phoenix"...

——Some time ago, employees of Tencent Video and Youku Video had a fight at the dinner table. Rumor has it that the source of the conflict was the dispute over the copyright of "Emperor Phoenix Industry".

Most importantly, Jiaxing Media is very close to BJ Culture - "The Little Shop of Sorrow" and "21 Carats" were both supported by BJ Culture!

The reason is very simple. Junyi Yunyang, a subsidiary of Perfect World, subscribed to Jiaxing’s shares!
Chi Yufeng, the boss of Perfect Film, and Song Ge are brothers in the same school. When Song Ge first entered the film industry, "Seven Swords" was invested by Perfect Film...

At this stage, idols are busy entering the film industry...

"Want to See You" is just a TV series... Shen Liang knows it very well, and no reply means that he doesn't really want to act in it.

That's fine...

So, he told Xin Shuang: "Find an actress with both strength and image!"

"who?"

"You can audition. I can recommend a few, Zhou Yutong, Li Chun, Cai Wenjing... Mao Xiaotong, Li Yitong... Go and have a look!"

“…Do you have a general idea in your mind?”

Shen Liang replied: "The best candidate in my mind is Zhang Jingchu, but Zhang Jingchu is too old..."

Xin Shuang immediately understood what he meant: "You mean with an artistic temperament?"

"Yes...artistic temperament."

"I see…"

Xin Shuang hung up the phone...

……

"I'm preparing for a drama. Once 'A Sun' is finished, I'll join the crew!"

“… lack of a heroine?”

"Um…"

"How is Wan Qian?"

Oh, Shen Liang was talking to Rao Xiaozhi about "Sunny Days", and Rao Xiaozhi heard Shen Liang's conversation and directly made a suggestion...

"Ten thousand..."

Shen Liang hesitated for a moment. Wan Qian is of course a good actor...

But she is 13 years older than Shen Liang, so she shook her head and said, "I want to play a couple with her, so we can't be too different."

Rao Xiaozhi was also a little embarrassed: "...I almost forgot that you were born after 95!"

“…The director admires Wan Qian very much?”

"We have a very good relationship. Basically, I just call her and she comes without even reading the script..."

"Then 'Nobody'..."

"Nobody" There's nothing she can do, she really can't spare the time..."

Yes, after Wan Qian became famous, he took on three TV series "Escape", "Young Lieutenant" and "New World", partnering with Chen Kun, Noon Sunshine team and Sun Honglei respectively!

Shen Liang nodded: "Since the director has taken such a fancy to me, I must cooperate with him if we have the chance!"

“…There’s definitely a chance.”

“Is it possible that A Sunny Day will be released in September next year?”

"June?"

Rao Xiaozhi thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem... But why September?"

"I heard that Xinli is planning to make a movie about Zhu Xian, and Xiao Zhan has been chosen as the male lead..."

"…What's wrong?"

"It was made according to the investment of the online movie, with a total investment of 2000 million... This kind of movie is purely a work that uses big IP to make money..."

"Zhu Xian" was originally going to be an online movie exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video, but later when Xiao Zhan became popular, it was directly released in theaters!

With this level of investment and production, let alone Xiao Zhan, even if Shen Liang were to act in the film, he would still be criticized.

Shen Liang approached Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo just to take advantage of the popularity of The Untamed. If it is released after The Legend of Chusen, it is hard to say how popular it will be, but it will definitely attract a lot of attention...

After listening to Shen Liang's explanation, Rao Xiaozhi felt very strange: "If it is a work that is destined to fail, why do it?"

"It's about making money... The IP of Zhu Xian can still attract a lot of fans... If we control the cost well, we will definitely make a profit!"

“…That’s too much!”

"What's so excessive about this..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "If they are willing to pay me 1 million yuan, I will also act in it."

“…The cost of “A Sun” was only 1000 million…”

"I mean, if..." Shen Liang changed the subject: "Have you contacted Guo Fan recently?"

Rao Xiaozhi nodded: "I went to see him the day before yesterday... He lost at least 20 kilograms!"

"I heard that he set up a steel bed in his post-production studio and only slept for three hours a day..."
