I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 285 Be a little careful

Chapter 285 Be a little careful (34)

"Want to See You" is a youth campus drama - most of the plot takes place on campus.

So the actors are all very young...

Except Nini, all of them were born after 95!
Not really, Jiang Qiming was born in 92...

But no matter what, we are all of similar age and can all see that "Want to See You" is a good drama!
How do you judge whether a script is a good script?

Let’s not talk about the literary quality, which is mainly divided into character creation, structure development and twists and turns, dialogue writing, and scene construction.

"Want to See You" is completely in line with...

Most importantly, the producers and directors of "Want to See You" respect the script very much...

Almost no changes!
In fact, domestic entertainment investors have always attached great importance to scripts, even too much.

To what extent do you take it seriously?

It is so important that they have to personally take charge of the process to feel at ease and satisfied.

Putting something as important as the script in the hands of a screenwriter?
How can it be?

In addition, producers, directors, investors and even big stars all believe in their ability to create stories and believe that they are a million times better than that stupid screenwriter.

Then, various additional ideas...

By the end of the revision, the screenwriter no longer knew what he was writing, nor what attracted him to the story in the first place. The more he revised, the less interested he became and the less passionate he became...

Besides, even if the script is changed, it’s not a big deal.

You also have to ask a fortune teller to tell your fortune - many scripts ask a fortune teller to tell your fortune before and after filming begins...

The master gave a comprehensive opinion based on the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, the total number of strokes of the characters in the title of the play, the international situation, the domestic situation...

Why can’t the screenwriter make the decision?
Think about it this way, what would a big star who spent tens of millions of dollars to hire and was charged by the minute be focusing on when he or she arrives on the set?

Follow the script!
Why do luxurious real-life scenes cost millions to tens of millions to build?
Because of the script!

A play can make several main and supporting actors famous, drive hundreds of millions or even billions of GDP, and bring huge business to countless suppliers in the industrial chain.

With so many benefits to distribute, what should we base our decision on? The script.

Is this a script? This is power!

Can a screenwriter decide the script?
You think too much!

In addition, the so-called Japanese, American and Korean screenwriters have a greater say because the film companies select their scripts from tens of thousands of scripts. In other words, certain characteristics or most of the content in the script are agreed or appreciated by the film company, so of course he has the final say!

In addition, capital is interested in the resources themselves, not the script!
In the eyes of capital, what is a good script?
If a script can attract famous directors or actors to join, then it is a good script, otherwise it is not...

This is getting off topic…

Xin Shuang said: "You can ask Brother Liang any questions you have about the script or characters. This play is Brother Liang's idea!"

Nini started the conversation: "I talked to them about the script a few days ago, and they said it was a bit like "Secret"..."

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes, it was the inspiration from "Secret"!"

Peng Yuchang immediately asked, "Zhou Jielun's "Secret"?"

"Correct!"

After a pause, Shen Liang commented: "The movie "Secret" is enough to kill any campus love youth movie in the past ten years in China.

This is a love-themed movie, with no quarrels, no abortions, no love triangles, no parental interference, no family feuds, no ostentation, no sex scenes, no adultery, no car accidents, no suicides, and no sex scenes, but it still manages to move you to the point of being in a mess…”

After a pause, Shen Liang said, "Sometimes I even suspect that Zhou Jielun is a time traveler!"

"what?"

"His debut was his peak, whether it was music or movies... But after "I'm Busy", it went downhill... I guess there weren't that many songs copied for him... The director's second movie "The Rooftop Love" was a terrible one..."

"Are you kidding?" "Of course I'm kidding, I don't have any evidence!" At this point, Shen Liang remembered something and picked up the teacup: "Come on, Peng Peng, congratulations on being nominated for the Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards!"

Peng Peng was stunned for a moment: "...I am lucky."

"We've already celebrated for him..." Xin Shuang interrupted, "By the way, you've also been nominated for Best Newcomer. How's that going? Are you sure?"

“I’m not even going to…”

"why?"

"I can't win it anyway...Since Hou Hsiao-hsien became the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards, when has the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer ever been given to a mainland actor?"

A group of people quickly took out their phones, but Shen Liang waved his hand, "No need to check your phone. After Hou Hsiao-hsien became the chairman, the new generation of Taiwanese people came to the fore, and the Golden Horse Awards began to reward newcomers, and the same goes for Best Actor and Best Actress. In the past five Golden Horse Awards, there have been four Taiwanese Best Actor and Best Actress winners, namely Ruan Jingtian and Gui Lunmei from the new generation, and Lee Kangsheng and Chen Xiangqi from the old generation... So, Gong Li was so angry... I heard that in the final review of the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress, Gong Li won 5 votes out of 4 judges for "Coming Home", so she should have won the Best Actress...

But I don’t know how the Golden Horse Awards counted the votes in the end, but I didn’t win any prizes anyway!”

"No wonder Gong Li was so angry!"

Nini was curious: "…How do you know so much?"

"When my parents were chatting, I heard..."

……

Shen Liang will definitely not go to the Golden Horse Awards - this year's Golden Horse Awards is a mess!
Even so, Li Min still said, "It's their freedom to say whatever they want on stage. Give the filmmakers some respect!"

Freedom of speech for filmmakers?
Then can we say things that dilute the propaganda law? Can we say things that promote racial discrimination?

Since we advocate that art should be art and politics should be politics, we should not engage in such activities as political brokering on the stage of art.

Trash belongs in the trash can!
However, this incident reminded him, and he immediately called the producers of "Squid!" and asked them to pay attention to the map: "China cannot be missing at all. Whenever there is a map shot, you must pay attention... Don't make any mistakes!"

"Well, you must pay attention!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang turned on his computer and prepared for the live broadcast.

There has been no live broadcast for nearly a week - he talked about the situation on Weibo and asked for leave...

Just as I turned on the computer, someone knocked on the door.

"Nini..."

Standing at the door was Nini, holding a suitcase in her hand...

This... is to move in?

Nini smiled charmingly: "What? You don't welcome me? Help me get it!"

"…I…"

Never mind, let’s welcome him in first…

Nini walked in naturally, opened her suitcase, and began to arrange her things.

Shen Liang was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "...You just stayed here like this?"
