I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 330: Casting Continues (33)

"A Bouquet of Love" is a romantic film...

Say goodbye to someone you are 100% compatible with.

The most romantic love that an artistic youth can think of: running on a rainy night when they first met, having 100% compatible artistic interests, kissing at a red light after confessing, having sex in a rental house for a week, living together in a house with a large balcony, and picking up a cat during a New Year's visit...

Then we broke up peacefully because of long-term exhaustion. I reminisce about the past in the old place and think of you when it rains. It is like the fantasy of people who desire love but don't believe in love.

There are many details: the things on the bookshelf are the same, Luo Fu's poems, Edward Yang, Richard Linklater's movies, Liu Jiachang's songs, Shuang Xuetao's new book, my favorite "A Brighter Summer Day"...

The love between the hero and heroine is built on these literary works.

All the books on the bookshelf are the same!

This is called soul mate!

The first story is about being 21 years old, and the first thing he said was 'Do you like Edward Yang too?'
The first time we met was at the tour of the play "Rhinoceros in Love";
"Love Like a Bouquet" has a dual narrative line. The first hour is from the perspective of the male protagonist, who is conceited, sensitive, neurotic, and always lives in his own world.
The last part is the climax of the whole movie: it suddenly switches to an omniscient perspective, blending ideals and dramatic imagination into a large-scale theater, from which the audience also learns the heroine's inner voice and monologue.

The boy started to work hard outside to make a living, began to compromise, was gradually infected by the reality, and gradually became addicted to the pursuit of "money".

Although his original intention was to better protect the family and he felt that his choice would please his girlfriend, at least these material foundations would make their relationship more stable.

The girl hopes that the two of them can always maintain the state they were in when they first met, busy at work separately, indulge each other after get off work, get together to watch movies, read books, and play games, no matter how hard it is.

In order to maintain her original mindset, the girl quit her ideal job and chose a job that she liked, which was entertaining and relaxing.

The girl does this to please the other person.

But in the boy's eyes, the girl is too "naive" and does not understand the cruelty of reality at all; coincidentally, in the girl's eyes, the boy has also changed, and is no longer the boy with dreams, interests and hobbies when they first met.

And then there’s the title, “We Made a Beautiful Bouquet”: beautiful but fleeting.

This story is actually quite cliché - they were once very much in love, but because of work, they eventually broke up!
The difference is that this man and woman are two sides of the same coin...

Starting from the same point, they will eventually face choices, reach a fork in the road, and start their own lives.

The heroine is important...

At first glance, she looks like a literary young woman!

You don’t have to be particularly beautiful…

Well, the best candidate for Shen Liang is Li Yitong...

But Li Yitong is too busy - she filmed five dramas last year and is filming four more this year.

What we pursue is seamless entry into the group.

Not necessarily have time...

But once Li Yitong joined, it was equivalent to saving eight figures in publicity fees - they were ex-lovers, which perfectly fit the theme of the movie!

Oh, this movie was basically invested by Shen Liang, accounting for 80% of the investment amount, and the other 20% went to Guangguang - directed by Yao Tingting.

In terms of lighting... the first choice is of course Li Yitong, but if Li Yitong disagrees, then Zhang Ruonan will be arranged...

Zhang Ruonan... is also OK.

Ahem, of course Shen Liang prefers Li Yitong, so he decisively went to visit the set - to try his best for the last time!
……

Li Yitong is filming "Special Warfare Glory"...

Director Xu Jizhou!
Xu Jizhou is very nostalgic. He thought Li Yitong was good when he produced "Beauty Without Borders", so when he directed "Special Warfare Glory" this time, he pulled her in to play the female lead!

The male lead is Yang Yang...

"Special Warfare Glory" and another military masterpiece "Ace Troops" can be described as a perfect match!

It's all so disappointing. However, there will definitely be attention, after all, it's Yang Yang!

Li Yitong's presence in this drama is very weak...

There is no love line in the whole play, only comradeship, and her character has almost no impact on the plot.

Therefore, the team has already helped her contact the next play "The Daughters of Tang Dynasty"...

Shen Liang heard about this, so it was not easy to deal with. He always thought that "The Daughters of Tang Dynasty" was an adaptation of "The Daughters of Luoyang"!
"Song of the Daughters of Luoyang" is Xiao Linden's representative work.

Shen Liang quite likes Xiao Linden’s works and even bought the adaptation rights of “Ancient Chang’an” and “Bei Xue”…

"A Journey to Luoyang"
'Smiling in front of others, coughing behind their backs, minor illnesses are treated lightly, and I am too lazy to complain. Only lovesickness was once a disease, and the drizzle and green shirt concealed the old illness.'

From Xiao Linden's "A Song for Luoyang Girls", Han E was waiting for his sweetheart Du Fangning at a small wine station outside Luoyang City, but he was stationed in the southwest and couldn't wait for the good wind he longed for, which made people sad...

Now Li Yitong is going to shoot...

Shen Liang didn’t dare to say that this was not a good resource. After all, the original work really moved him!

After meeting her, I realized that the so-called "Song of the Daughters of the Tang Dynasty" was actually "Song of the Farewell"...

I was wondering why I haven't heard of this drama!
The plot of "Li Ge Xing" is a happy-enemy mode - a dandy boy, the son of a general, falls in love with the daughter of a businessman. He pretends to be a knowledgeable man who is both civil and military, and vows to win the beauty.

A psychotic plot...

The daughter of a merchant, the son of a general, look at this identity setting...

No wonder the name was changed to "Li Ge Xing" and even the dynasty was fictionalized. Anyone who knows a little about history knows the status of merchants in ancient times!

Even if you don’t know, you should know the feeling of “the eldest daughter marries a merchant” in “Pipa Xing” – after having enough fun, she finds an honest man to marry…

It is pure fabrication and has nothing to do with "A Journey to Luoyang".

So Shen Liang immediately advised her: "Then don't shoot anymore, come with me to act in a movie!"

They were in the hotel...

“…When is your movie going to be shot?”

"Right away..." Shen Liang went on to explain: "It will take at most a month to finish filming, and then I will join the crew of a web drama. When that's done, I will also be filming "Underground Fire"!"

Li Yitong frowned, but she didn't stop peeling shrimps. She complained, "You told me not to be so anxious. Your schedule is very tight. You're filming one movie after another without any breaks!"

"I'm still in the rising stage. Once my position is solidified, I can make one movie a year, not rushing or slowing down..."

As he spoke, Shen Liang opened his mouth and took the shrimp she had peeled: "I wrote the script for "Love Like a Bouquet". I originally wanted to be the director, but time didn't allow it!"

"…But, The Daughters of Tang Dynasty is a drama produced by Yu Zheng…You know, I was able to enter the circle thanks to Yu Zheng's support…"

Hearing this, Shen Liang couldn't bear it anymore: "Why don't you say it's because you don't want the pay!"

Li Yitong shook her head: "…There are so many actresses who don't want to be paid, but he chose me!"

"So, you don't answer?"

“…Don’t be impatient…”

"Of course I'm anxious. Time waits for no one. If you don't want to take it, the director team will find a replacement immediately..."

Li Yitong immediately asked: "Substitute? Who? Bai Lu?"

"…What does it have to do with Bai Lu? The director team may want to choose someone from Guangguang."
