I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 762 Write a Song (13)

The cost of "She Vanished" was about 8000 million, and Shen Liang's salary was 500 million + tiered dividends...

Shen Liang Studio did not invest in this play.

The total cost was only 8000 million, and Chen Sicheng + Wanda did it!

In fact, Shen Liang likes Chen Sicheng very much. His movies have never considered the artistry from the beginning. They only want to make money and attract mainland audiences...

And this person is not likely to collapse easily.

Because there is no house to collapse.

There were so many rumors of infidelity during his marriage, but nothing happened to him, and he is single now.

The real person can definitely put his fans at ease, if he has any fans!

As for "Her" - it does not contain any ideological connotations. If you must find fault with it, it would only be that the film is suspected of secretly exploiting the conflict between men and women. But compared to movies that glorify the national army, or that have no instructors on the battlefield, or that involve falling in love while climbing a mountain, it can be considered very good.

Oh, Chen Sicheng is the producer of "She Vanished"...

But this work is named as Chen Sicheng's work!

It's normal, just like Xu Ke and Wang Tianlin...

Although he is credited as the producer, he has full control over the script: he controls the script himself, teaches the actors himself, shoots the scenes himself, and has the final say on the editing... This is what the public defines as a director!

For the two new directors Cui Rui and Liu Xiang, being able to obtain the director’s credit is already great!

In the current film industry, the tolerance rate is getting lower and lower!
Let alone newcomers, even the older generation of directors who have made breakthroughs in "artistic quality" but have poor box office performance, such as Wang Xiaoshuai and Lu Chuan, may not know when they will be able to attract investment to make films again...

Or even if they can be filmed, the company may not take over the distribution - Xu Haofeng's films are hidden after being filmed, and they can be filmed but not released, and he can continue to film...

Because they are endorsed by celebrities, they can join for half price or for free...

But no publisher took over the distribution!
"Treasure Land in Front of the Door", "Hidden Behind the Knife", "Into the Form", "Poetic Eyes Tired of the World"...

All four movies have been made, but no company has taken over the distribution...

Oh, just as they arrived at the hotel, Chen Sicheng received a call, and then said happily: "Bao Qiang is here, I'll go pick him up!"

"…Do you need to come together?"

"No, he's nearby, you guys eat first!"

After saying that, Chen Sicheng walked out of the private room.

Wen Yongshan suddenly said, "It seems that Director Chen and Teacher Baoqiang have a very good relationship!"

Rouba nodded: "...their friendship is indeed quite unusual..."

Shen Liang said casually: "They have known each other for a long time, it can be considered a revolutionary friendship..."

……

Chen Sicheng and Wang Baoqiang have indeed been friends for many years...

Chen Sicheng really has nothing to say about his friends.

Lend money to Wang Baoqiang as soon as possible when something happens, and make money with him when he has money...

Low-profile version of Jackie Chan!
Shen Liang likes Wang Baoqiang very much.

He is truly a white lotus in the entertainment industry. Neither his bedmate nor his agent can reveal any dirt on him. He pays taxes as soon as he borrows money!

Not to mention the entertainment industry, the entire society is like a white lotus!

His acting skills are really... amazing!

Farmer, killer, pervert, greasy man, soldier, young man. Each character is very convincing.

Among them, Mr. Shu’s performance was particularly great!

In comparison, Hai Qing went to perform in "Hidden in the Dust" 11 months in advance to experience it, and the effect was quite good. His accent was a little bit out of place but his sincerity was already visible.

In other words, we can be sure that Haiqing represents a type of actor who is willing to spend time and energy to play low-level roles, and they do so almost without pay in non-commercial films. This is positive energy that reflects ambition and a desire to make progress.

But to be honest, Baoqiang's Mr. Shu is obviously two levels higher than Haiqing.

In addition to portraying the appearance and spirit of a minor character, one also has to portray complexity, contradiction, and the right hand that never has anywhere to rest, which is the finishing touch to character creation in Chinese film history.

Oh, Wang Baoqiang is here to solicit investment - he ran out of money halfway through filming "Octagon Cage"!
"Octagon Cage" is a typical three-act movie, a very standard one.

Cause: The fighting arena could not continue to operate, so the kids were tricked into doing fake boxing to defraud money.

Development: He began to develop real feelings for the children and sincerely wanted to set up a fighting club, but encountered various difficulties in the gray industry such as violations and lack of qualifications to run a school, and finally gave up.

Climax: He discovered that the orphan boxer had returned to a desperate situation after leaving him, and finally decided to fight back and let the orphan boxer return to the arena and win the gold belt.

Three acts, each act is a complete event.

He thought it through clearly. As a novice director, he should not think about any new plot lines and just shoot a three-act film.

Chen Sicheng: "Don't worry, just keep shooting. I'll make up for any money you're short of!"

Shen Liang flipped through the script of "In the Octagonal Cage" and said, "Let me write a theme song for you!"

"Really? Thank you so much!"

“…No need…” Shen Liang waved his hand: “I know about this. In fact, up to now, there are still people who have been blaming Enbo, the protagonist of the Fighting Orphans incident… Pear Video, the instigator of the hype of the Fighting Orphans incident, also released a clarification video under the pressure of public opinion… But few people watched it…”

Chen Sicheng: “So?”

"There is an article called "Rakshasa Sea City" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". It tells the story of a man named Ma Ji, who was very handsome and talented. He was accidentally blown by a hurricane to a country that valued beauty over talent - the Great Rakshasa Country. In this country, ugliness is beautiful, and officials are appointed based on appearance. The rank of an official decreases with beauty and ugliness. The handsome Ma Ji was regarded as a monster in this country... But in the eyes of Ma Ji, who had rich social experience, this might be a good thing. He went to scare people who were eating. When people were scared, they ran away. Ma Ji took the food left by the people and ate it in big mouthfuls. So the person who is feared by everyone has his way of survival. So some people would rather be a scary person than a good person.

Once, Ma Ji got drunk and smeared coal powder on his face to pretend to be Zhang Fei, but he was highly praised by others. The emperor was very satisfied when he saw Ma Ji, and he appointed Ma Ji as a junior official and favored him very much.

The story vividly depicts a deformed society where beauty and ugliness are not distinguished, black and white are reversed, and good and evil are abnormal. I feel that it is very similar to some media in "Octagon Cage"..."

"Tsk, tsk, you wrote the theme song for "In the Octagon", but our own "Her Vanishes" doesn't have a theme song?"

"... "

Shen Liang was speechless and took out his cell phone: "Here you go, this is the theme song, find a female singer to sing it!"

"Why don't you sing?" Chen Sicheng took over the song and said something dissatisfied...

Shen Liang: "…This is Li Muzi's cry. Is it appropriate for me to sing it?"

“…Why does splendor lead to disappointment; why does the one who loves me put me in a cage; why is waiting in vain~” After seeing this, Chen Sicheng probably knew the source of the song: “Who do you think is suitable?”

"Zhang Bichen or Zhang Liangying...it depends on your opinion!"
