I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 432 Visiting the Set?

Chapter 432 Visiting the Set? (23)

"Raging Fire" is a co-production...

Female characters in co-productions have always been awkward!

Either a pure vase or a pure prop...

It is usually a sad drama, with the plot setting: waiting for the husband to come home;

There is no way, Hong Kong movies in recent years are basically police and gangster films!

As for police and gangster films, they mainly highlight men, and masculinity is the core of the film, so naturally the female characters will have a harder life.

In "Witness", "Get Out", "Storm", "Drug War", and especially "Cold War", Ma Yili waited for Aaron Kwok, who was only focused on work and investigating the case, to come home. After finally seeing her husband, she could only ask "Do you want me to eat your dick?"...

After the Four Dan Actresses and the Two Bing Bing became famous, they were no longer obsessed with making cameo appearances in co-productions. Then, actresses of all kinds made their debuts.

Jin Qiaoqiao, Yao Chen, Miao Pu, Ma Yili, Tong Yali…

Similar roles, similar backgrounds, crying and shouting "go home more often", but the male protagonists imitated Dayu and passed by their homes three times without entering, and ultimately did not give the story a happy ending...

Qin Lan's role in "Raging Fire" is actually about the same...her screen time is no more than 3 minutes...

It is still mainly a sad drama - she becomes the male protagonist's wife, and then is kidnapped by the villain, in order to highlight that the male protagonist loves his family and wife and is brave. She is just a prop.

Only "Shock Wave 2" was slightly better, but Nini's acting was not good. At first glance, she seemed heroic and courageous, but upon closer analysis, her acting was really bad, with no emotional ups and downs...her expression and tone of voice did not change.

"'Raging Fire' is a typical two-hero drama. Although I play a villain, the character is full of charm... an image of an avenger..."

Shen Liang briefly described Qiu Gangao's image - he was originally a policeman, but later went to prison and turned into a criminal.

"You should all know Director Benny Chan. He is very good at creating villains in movies!"

Guo Fan nodded: "Yes, he likes to explore institutional issues in his works. The most treacherous and evil people are usually people within the system, and the so-called villains usually have no choice but to go astray. His vigilance against public power and his ridicule and mockery of so-called authority run through his decades of film works."

Shen Liang agreed: "Qiu Gangao just tried his best to obey his boss's orders unconditionally, and then took the blame!"

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

“…Yes, he did, but the first thing he did after he got out of prison was to kill his girlfriend!”

"Ah? So cruel?"

"They spent five years in prison, and most of the people in the same prison were criminals they had arrested before. It's not hard to imagine what kind of purgatory they went through in prison..."

"It seems like you are looking forward to it?"

"Of course I'm looking forward to it," Shen Liang said immediately, "Fighting with Zhen Zidan, it's very difficult for people like me who practice martial arts to meet a powerful opponent and be able to use our fists and feet at will!"

"Are you a martial artist?"

"Of course I am. It's no exaggeration to say that even if all of you were combined, you still can't beat me!"

Lu Yang: "You like action movies... I should have known that Blade of the Assassin would be for you!"

"It's not too late now... By the way, I read a comic called "Dart Man" some time ago..."

"Dart man?"

"Well, you can take a look..." After a pause, Shen Liang continued, "I have already bought the adaptation rights, but I haven't started preparing yet. If you are interested, you can try it first!"

“Is the story complicated?”

"The story is not complicated... but also quite complicated, you will understand after reading it..."

……

"The Dart" uses a typical POV (Point of View) narrative technique, which is very flexible and requires a lot from the author.

POV mode, to put it simply, is when you shoot a film, you put a camera on each character, and the creator is the one who operates the machine, who can switch lenses at will and freely choose the angle with the richest material. A good creator will often create multiple very attractive characters at the same time.

"Game of Thrones" is a typical POV mode!

This will also lead to a problem. If there are no one or two core characters to drive the story forward, but it is driven solely by events, the plot will be submerged in a vast ocean of details and extensions, and become a mess.

Considering the size of the movie, it’s quite difficult to change!

Because the movie is definitely from the protagonist's perspective, POV mode, it is unlikely to be adapted into a movie.

Even if it is adapted, it is unlikely to follow the original comics...

After reading the first volume of "Darts of Legends", swordsmen, inns, bandits, and a small town on the northwest border are presented one after another. The first thing that comes to my mind is "New Dragon Inn" directed by Tsui Hark. As the plot progresses, various characters appear one after another, and the vast world view is slowly revealed to the readers, gradually unveiling the curtain of an epic story, and instantly evolving from "Dragon Inn" to "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties". This thing is not easy to grasp!

It needs a good screenwriter to sort it out...

……

The project "Raging Fire" has entered the early preparation stage.

Most of the actors have already been cast.

In general, Hong Kong-produced police and gangster films, most of them are Hong Kong actors paired with a mainland female star...

But Shen Liang is involved in this play, so the cast will definitely be different.

Ah Qing, Qiu Gangao's girlfriend, also wants to find a mainland actress to play a cameo role...

When the time comes, just ask who’s free and go over to make a cameo appearance. There aren’t many scenes anyway and it can be filmed in one day!
Oh, on the sixth day of the release of "A Bouquet of Love", which was December 12, the box office exceeded 11 billion. Shen Liang actually danced a Charleston and posted it on TikTok as a celebration.

In the following days, Shen Liang had no time to discuss art with Zhou Yutong, and Zhou Yutong himself had no time either...

They were all filming the scenes where she played the role of Zeng Jiurong!
Chen Xiaomeng followed Zeng Jiurong every day, watching her play with children and learning how to feed wild cats from her. Watching her seemed to give this useless life a little motivation to work harder.

He took the stolen money given by Sister Hui from Zhou Quan's house, helped Zeng Jiurong escape, and revealed that he was a killer sent to deal with her.

Then... from Sister Hui, Xiao Meng knew that Zeng Jiurong was a liar.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaomeng was stunned for a while...

The expression is like a bereaved mother...

No one knows what Zeng Jiurong's final outcome was. No one knows whether she was caught or ran away. No one knows whether she felt guilty or proud towards Xiao Meng. However, none of this matters anymore.

I just loved you for a short while.

Quite unpleasant.

Whether it is the original "How to Steal the Key" or the Korean version "Lucky Key", the corresponding roles of Shen Liang are Sakurai Takeshi played by Masato Sakai and Yin Zaicheng played by Lee Joon, and there is still a love line...

When it comes to "The Crowd", it's just a piece of sand sculpture...

Sand sculpture is sand sculpture...

Shen Liang's interpretation deliberately leans towards the direction of clear stupidity to avoid being greasy.

As for the effect... Rao Xiaozhi likes it very much!

"I think you could try comedy!"

“…I’ll think about it…”

"Xiao Zhou finished filming today...do you want to...let her stay with you?"

"Accompany me?"

"Don't you live with her?"

Shen Liang was speechless: "You are really nosy!"

As a director, you just need to be responsible for filming. What happens between the actors in the crew has nothing to do with you.

As long as it doesn't affect the shooting...
