I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 628: Tai Chi Master (13)

"Keep You Safe" is a good script in Shen Liang's opinion, but it is a high-quality script in Lei Jiayin's opinion!

Although Lei Jiayin has no shortage of scripts, there are few suitable ones.

There is a view that good scripts should actively find first-line actors.

In fact, a good script is something you can only come across by chance.

Good scripts are a scarce resource. Even in Europe and America where the film industry is highly developed, it is not easy to get a good script!
Just like literary works, millions of books are published in the world every year, but less than 5% of them can be called masterpieces.

The entertainment market is very strange. No matter how mature it is, the rate of quality products will always be only between 5% and 10%.

Therefore, Lei Jiayin is very clear that when he encounters a good script, he must fight for it!

A good script and good actors are themselves a process of mutual selection.

After reading the script of "Keep You Safe", Lei Jiayin found it more and more interesting, so he simply took a leave and came directly to Hengdian.

Shen Liang asked the crew to pick him up...

When they met, Shen Liang first introduced himself, then asked, "Brother, have you finished filming?"

"not yet…"

"Then why are you here?"

"I feel uneasy," Lei Jiayin said, "What should I do if such a good script is snatched away by someone else?"

"No one has taken it away. You are the first one I came to. I must wait for your attitude..."

Lei Jiayin waved his hand: "I came here to show my attitude to the screenwriter and director..."

“…The screenwriter is my senior brother Dong Runnian, and he is also the director!”

Lei Jiayin quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "It's so well written!"

"No, it's mainly because Liang Ge gave me a good idea..."

"Brother Liang's idea? Why did you find me?"

"After I finished writing the script...I realized that the best male lead is over 35 years old..."

Shen Liang nodded: "So, I'll look for you!"

Lei Jiayin raised his wine glass and clinked glasses solemnly with Shen Liang.

……

Top domestic entertainment actors receive scripts, but basically do not accept ready-made scripts.

Think about it, how could an actor look for a script without trying to make himself more successful?
But where is the right place?

So they would rather a screenwriter write one specifically for them, but most screenwriters can’t write such a propositional composition, or the quality of their writing is not as good as their own creations…

Customized text, even the masters can’t handle it!
This has resulted in actors feeling that they can’t find good scripts, and screenwriters feeling frustrated because they don’t want the ones they’ve written, and feel that the roles are not suitable for them, so they have to write something on the spot. However, the quality of the essays they write on the spot is definitely poor, and they don’t want it…

Is there any XX screenwriter who shocks the bigwigs in the circle with his script and gets asked to direct it?
Generally no!

Most of the time, a script is sent out, and a few days later it is rejected, saying it is not suitable. If the script is really good, then a few months later it is discovered that another company has started a project for an identical script...

And the author of the book is a well-known screenwriter in the industry.

Because the selling point of the script, to put it bluntly, is creativity.

Creativity is something that is easy to borrow.

So, I found it very funny when I saw Wang Hailin's Screenwriters Association jointly boycotting Guo Jingming, Yu Zheng... Most of the screenwriters in the Screenwriters Association had their works controversially involved in plagiarism, and almost all of them had been sued.

How come you only know how to boycott others, but don’t you know what you have done?

Apart from other things, the original works of "Empresses in the Palace" and "Three Lives Three Worlds" were plagiarized works, and the screenwriters made profits from them by adapting them into movies and TV shows. After the two plagiarized original works were adapted into movies and TV shows, they all became very popular, and some even won many awards. The screenwriters can be said to have gained both fame and fortune.

There is also Yu Fei who supports Tang Qi.

Yu Fei himself did not plagiarize, but he not only "overturned" the plagiarism incident that was confirmed by everyone through his identity as an "authoritative screenwriter", but also smuggled his own agenda into "The Inspectors General" which he wrote. He designed a character named Da Fengzheng, the author of "Bai Xiaolian" in "The Centipede Case", implying that the author Da Fengguaguo who was plagiarized by Tang Qi was a "Bai Lianhua", bringing secondary harm to the victim of plagiarism.

Why is there no authority like Wang Hailin to judge when "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is suspected of plagiarizing Fei Wo Sicun's "Cold Moon Like Frost"?

Because the screenwriters of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" Wang Xiaoping and Wang Hailin are from the same circle!
When we meet, we call each other fellow Taoists... No, we call each other teacher.

Therefore, Shen Liang usually doesn’t look for these people to work with. The screenwriters he looks for are basically from the film industry…

……

After a few drinks, Shen Liang was in high spirits and took the initiative to talk about casting...

"Han Lu, I want to find Liu Yan or Na Zha... Who do you think is more suitable?"

Lei Jiayin suggested: "Liu Yan..."

"That's fine... Then Liu Yan, what do you think, Senior Brother?"

Dong Runnian shook his head: "Isn't Liu Yan's age inappropriate?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "Then change it to 600 years old... and change the donation amount to million... that will be appropriate!"

"Okay," Dong Runnian sighed, "Actually, I thought about changing it to an imperfect victim..."

Lei Jiayin was puzzled: "Imperfect victim?"

"Han Lu really did engage in import and export trade and really worked as a prostitute..."

Shen Liang interrupted, "No, not to mention that it is not in line with the mainstream thinking to appeal for a prostitute. If you really set Han Lu as a prostitute, it will only deviate from the theme and values.

Although Han Lu died at the beginning, she was actually the real heroine. Han Lu's identity determined the theme and values ​​of the story.

Dong Runnian also nodded: "It's ridiculous that being a prostitute can be a crime...but the philanthropist who donated the money is a prostitute, this is still hard to accept! If her identity is really a prostitute...the plot will be difficult to handle!"

"Yes, this story itself is not about innocence but about proving innocence! The main theme of the movie is that it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. We should oppose online violence and rumor-mongering! In the end, you designed a story that Han Lu is really a prostitute. That's too ironic. Will that kind of despair really elevate the theme of the movie?"

"what's the topic?"

Wu Jing came in with two bottles of Moutai: "Hey, Lei Jiayin is here too?"

Shen Liang, however, set his eyes on Moutai: "Oh, 15 Moutai, Brother Jing, what a great deal!"

"If I ask you to drink, it must be good wine!"

"Come on, let me try it..."

Wu Jing opened the bottle cap and asked, "Don't you have any good wine collection at home?"

"I haven't been home much in the past two years...but I bought a lot of Moutai stocks...I can collect a few boxes when I have some free time..."

"As long as you speak, there are people to send you off!"

"That won't work. I'd better spend my own money to buy peace of mind..."

Four people, each poured a cup...

It is not that clear white color, but an oily yellow color, and the hanging effect on the cup is also very good, forming a thick line and slowly sliding down.

The aroma is very clean, without any unpleasant smell, giving people a delicate feeling.

Wu Jing remembered something: "I asked them to write three versions of the script for Tai Chi Master, but I always felt that it was a little off..."

“It’s hard to cram a plot into a movie, right?”
