I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 689 "Cang Lan Jue" (23)

Lu Yao's "Life" is one of the earliest radio dramas after the reform and opening up...

Life was very popular. In November 82, China Youth Publishing House published a single volume with an initial print run of 11 copies, which quickly sold out. A second print run of 13 copies was followed by an additional 12.5 copies after the new year, bringing the total print run to 7200 copies.

BJ Radio began broadcasting the audio novel "Life" in November 82.

In March 1983, he was awarded the "3-1981 National Excellent Novella Award" by the Chinese Writers Association.
Later, the movie made from "Life" was equally popular, winning the Best Film Award at the 1985th China Film Golden Rooster Awards in 5, and the Best Feature Film Award and Best Actress Award at the 8th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards; in 1987, it won the Best Feature Film Award for the New Era in the Past 10 Years jointly organized by the Chinese Film Critics Society and Wenhui Daily, and Wu Tianming won the Honorary Director Award.

But Shen Liang's parents were dating in the 90s...

At that time, the most popular writers on the market were Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and Qiong Yao.

"My mother was an artistic young woman when she was young... She admired Lu Yao and Mo Yan... But in recent years, she has liked the works of Yu Hua and Chen Yan... I inquired about the copyright of "The Protagonist" and found out that it was bought by Zhang Jiayi..."

""main character"?"

"The epic of the Queen of Qin Opera... Chen Yan is competing with Li Bihua and Bi Feiyu..."

"Competing?"

"Li Bihua has Farewell My Concubine, Bi Feiyu has Qing Yi, and Teacher Chen Yan is a playwright who has been in the troupe for half his life. He knows the inside and outside of the theater very well, which is beyond the reach of Li and Bi."

"I heard that Zhang Yi is going to adapt it?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "This can't be adapted into a movie, there's too much content... Chen Yan wrote about the character's fifty years of growth, aiming for an epic path, from Brother Wen's tail to the WeChat era, this is something that no one else has!"

"The director is Yan Jiangang!"

"Teacher Yan...please help me make an appointment."

Yan Jiangang, a serious drama director, is not very popular...

There are many works, such as "China Land" and "In Silence"...

The most eye-catching experience was probably when he resigned as director of "The New Three Kingdoms" and said that screenwriters "should not carry out subversive, unprofessional, and non-television-oriented transformations"!
In fact, this is indeed the case - the script of "New Three Kingdoms" has completely transcended the romance and the history of the Three Kingdoms. It is a brand new writing based on historical concepts and imagination...

"What about "The Glory of Our Fathers" and "Happy Face"?

Shen Liang shook his head: "... From now on, I will only be in two dramas a year at most. I want to focus on movies."

"But... there are no good scripts..."

"It's okay, let's finish the work at hand first..." Waving his hand, Shen Liang asked Yang Mi: "Has "Little South Wind" started filming?"

Yang Mi shook her head: "The director said that filming will start in June..."

"Summer is sticky and really suitable for "Little South Wind"..."

“…What are you going to shoot next?”

"The Canglan Jue..."

"…Ancient doll?"

"Yes."

"Why did you think of filming ancient idols?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Yang Mi looked at him suspiciously: "It's a lie!" "It's a lie because I want to create a benchmark ancient idol drama for the audience, a conscientious production!"

"What about the truth?"

Shen Liang shrugged: "…A few years ago, when I wasn't as popular as I am now, I agreed. It was hard to refuse…"

“Why not refuse?
"The script, props... have all been prepared according to my requirements. I'm going to tell them we don't want to shoot now? That's too much!"

“…So according to what you said, I should also film “Treasures of the Beautiful”?

Shen Liang waved his hand: "Our situations are different. I am willing to shoot ancient idol dramas. The company accepted the script of "Treasures of the Beautiful" without your permission... By the way, are you really not going to accept "Treasures of the Beautiful"?"

Yang Mi shook her head firmly: "…No!"

……

Ancient costume dramas belong to the category of idol dramas, and there is an almost insurmountable gap between this type of drama and serious dramas.

If idol actors don’t transform themselves, they won’t be able to get any roles when they reach a certain age!

Shen Liang made his debut as the leading actor in "Time Travelers", and then he starred in "The Wandering Earth", "The Evil Dead", "A Sun"...

Created a box office legend!
In terms of TV series, "Want to See You" and "Honey Stewed Squid" have strongly opened up the national popularity...

In fact, these two dramas can also be considered idol dramas, but the subsequent "Awakening Age" and the just-concluded "Storm Chasers" are all main-theme dramas.

The ratings and popularity are both phenomenal...

Then, you went to film "Cang Lan Jue"?
Ancient idol drama, at the lowest end of the genre contempt chain!

This is a consensus. Many producers in the industry look down on ancient idol dramas - aspiring screenwriters all want to write suspense and reality-oriented dramas, and this kind of industrial saccharine ancient idol drama for ordinary audiences is only worthy of bad scripts written by bad screenwriters.

Liang Ge discussed this with them, but they still insisted that the genre of ancient idol dramas was not worth the effort, because its subject matter was not profound and serious, and the audience just wanted to see industrial saccharine love plots. As long as they were given a lot of them like a duck to water, they would be satisfied...

No need to edit carefully.

However, Deng Ke and Yi Zheng believe that film and television dramas all over the world are moving in the direction of visual spectacles, which is nothing more than visual spectacles + something. Superheroes are the visual spectacles of the United States, samurai and ninjas are the visual spectacles of Japan, and immortal knights are the visual spectacles of China!

So, they joined forces to create a Chinese-style fantasy fantasy!
Then "The Devil's Lord" was chosen for adaptation.

The original novel of "The Demon Lord" is not very interesting. It tells the story of an ordinary, unremarkable, but tenacious little orchid, struggling to survive under the control of a powerful and wicked demon.

But one thing is good, the world view is well set up.

Everyone in heaven has his or her own duties and does what they are supposed to do. Apart from maintaining the way of heaven, everyone is reasonable, friendly and approachable.

The Demon Lord does not have the great ambition to ascend to the heaven, become the master, and rule the five elements and three realms - he thinks about restoring the demon clan and regaining lost territory every day. The Lord of the Demon Realm is under so much pressure. Is there any difference between being a demon and being a human? Being a demon actually means being free and easy, ruthless, and using any means to achieve your goals, without caring about the life and death of others!

He just wanted to resurrect the Red Earth Woman and fight again!
The male protagonist died after the battle with the Red Earth Woman, and he couldn't get over it after his resurrection...

The plot is that he has been using Xiao Lanhua's body to nourish the Red Earth Woman, and has made all kinds of calculations. In the end, the Red Earth Woman is resurrected, and Xiao Lanhua also dies. The male protagonist finally realizes his feelings for Xiao Lanhua, and goes to great lengths to revive Xiao Lanhua...

Well, the crematorium of chasing wife...

The script has been greatly changed - it has to be greatly changed, the plot is too flat and there is no climax!
Of course, the main plot revolves around the changes in relationships: stranger—enemy—friend—object of desire—friendly person—love of all beings…

Changed to running and redemption.
