I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 96 Return to Filming (33)

Investing in movies is not just about paying money...

At the very least you have to find a producer to control your money!

Be a hands-off boss?

What if you get cheated?
Let alone individuals, what about Youku being such a big platform?
Still got cheated!

A web drama called "Routin" was filmed with investment from Youku, but it took 6382 million to produce 7 episodes. Seeing the money-spending trend, Youku quickly stopped the production and asked the producer to bear the rest of the expenses. The producer "Zhejiang Film Power" simply disappeared when it saw that it could not make additional investments...

That’s right, just play the missing game!

The crew behind this drama is very strong, and the cast includes many veteran actors such as Zheng Jiaying, Xie Tiankai, and Ming Dao.

The director is Liu Guochang, who has won the Golden Horse Awards many times. He has made "The King of Boxing" and "Inspector Lei Luo". The Cheng family team is responsible for the action design of the whole play, and Yuan Yumei, the producer of "Day and Night", is the chief producer of this play...

But the producers simply circled the money and then…ran away!

Shen Liang wasn't worried that Rao Xiaozhi's crew would cheat him out of money, after all, it was Guo Fan who introduced him...

But he didn't want to be treated as a fool!
Therefore, they will definitely hire a professional producer to manage the money, at least to know where the big money is going...

Besides, the crew hasn't been formed yet. Even if Shen Liang wants to transfer money, there is not even a public account. Who can he transfer to?

Chatted with Rao Xiaozhi for a while...

We mainly talked about the actors and didn't mention the script.

Regarding "The Panic", which is the script of "Nobody", Shen Liang has no opinion...

If we talk about it purely from the perspective of the script, there are many unsatisfactory aspects of the script of "Nobody", such as the lack of a connecting point in the multi-line narrative.

The whole story has two plot lines. One is about Ma Xianyong who wants to be a police assistant and is looking for a gun. The other is about the two stupid thieves Hu Guangsheng and Li Haigen and the paralyzed Ma Jiaqi.

The roles of other characters such as the police, the security guard's daughter, the runaway boss, the boss's son, etc. are not enough to support the story line, so they are fragmented and revolve around these two main story lines.

But these two main plots are not related, at least in the first half, they are not related at all, it feels a bit like two stories pasted together...

At the end, all the characters and elements collided together, but they also let out a sigh of relief...

Simple evaluation: The multi-line narrative has no intersection at all, it feels like it was done for the sake of doing it, it's very confusing, and the final ending also ruined the artistic sense that was laid out with great difficulty before...

Moreover, let’s analyze it. “Nobody” includes all kinds of vulgar elements in the market, such as robbery, high-level paraplegia, vulgar fat boys, flying motorcycles, prostitutes, sex scenes, hot-blooded high school, premature love, boys with earrings, fighting, gangs, underworld, mistresses betraying their true love, and even forced in sensational and fresh paragraphs…

But the movie "Nobody" is very romantic!
So romantic that you don't want to care about these...

Also very sincere.

Especially the ending - life is often ordinary and cruel, but it also has those flashes of warmth!

Many film critics complained about the ending... and felt that Hu Guangsheng should have died...

There are also some who say that "the character of Ma Jiaqi has no significance to the movie", and they make a serious analysis, something like "If Yan Jing and Da Tou had hidden in an empty room, Da Tou would have received Xia Mei's message soon, and then Da Tou would have been scolded by Yan Jing, and the two would have had a falling out, and Da Tou would have left. Whether Ma Jiaqi was present or not did not affect the conflict between the two of them."

Such a crazy logic!

According to what you said, everyone will die eventually, so why are you still alive?

Movies are not a panacea, they are just an aspirin...

By the way, Rao Xiaozhi suggested that Shen Liang play Gao Xiang, the father who owed a huge amount of money and was beaten by gangsters, and then hundreds of students from the school came to save him...

It feels like a passionate high school!
Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if I have time. I've got my eyes on a TV series and I'm trying to get the male lead!" Rao Xiaozhi immediately asked, "What TV series? Can I help?"

"Joy of Life... a drama produced by New Classics Media... directed by Sun Hao..."

"Sun Hao..."

Lei Zhilong at the side interrupted: "I know him, he used to work in the Experimental Theater and had a good relationship with Chen Jianbin..."

Shen Liang shook his head: "No, this is very complicated. "Celebrating Yu Nian" is a big IP drama. The IP belongs to Tengxun, and Tengxun gave it to Xinli for production... Director Sun Hao himself is very interested in "Celebrating Yu Nian"..."

Rao Xiaozhi interrupted him: "Aren't you from Tengxun?"

"But I..."

Well, by this calculation, it seems I don’t lack connections!
"I'll think about it...I'm leaving now!"

Shen Liang said goodbye and left...

……

In "Celebrating Yu Nian", Shen Liang must strive for...

This is a work that can become a masterpiece!
Of course, the competition is fierce...

It is a big IP in itself, and it is created by a reliable team!
In the original time and space, the director said in an interview, "It took a year from casting to final casting, and many top-tier stars came to audition."

In other words, if Shen Liang wants to get the role, in addition to connections, he also needs extra competitiveness!
But Shen Liang didn't have a complete idea of ​​how to do it...

In fact, sometimes you don’t need to work too hard to defeat your opponent. It’s also a good idea for your opponent to give up…

Well, what we mean is, is it possible for Zhang Ruoyun to give up "Joy of Life"?
……

"Hey, Brother Jing, you haven't left yet? Didn't we agree to be a guest for three days?"

When Shen Liang returned to the set of The Wandering Earth, he immediately saw Wu Jing, who was wearing an aviation suit and hanging on the gantry to rest...

——The exoskeleton is too heavy. The actors have no way of bearing the weight when they are resting, but it is not easy to take off. You have to take it off and put it on for at least an hour!
Therefore, production director Li Baoquan originally designed a gantry that allows the actors to rest while wearing exoskeletons. A robotic arm can be hung on it, but the scene is not very good-looking - the actors are like a row of roast ducks, hanging on the gantry to rest between shots.

Shen Liang was already used to it, so he was not surprised to see Wu Jing being hung up. He said this purely as a joke!
After hearing this, Wu Jing couldn't help but complain: "Three days? I looked at the scenes and the shooting schedule, I guess it will take half a month to finish shooting!"

"Are you feeling well? I heard you're going to have surgery after filming?"

“…It’s OK,” Wu Jing waved his hand: “There’s no fighting scene, but this suit is really heavy…”

"That's not the way. If we want it to be lighter, we have to use aviation materials, and we can't afford that!"

"…How many scenes do you have left?"

"About 20 scenes..." Shen Liang smiled: "But I have finished filming the main scenes, and it will probably be finished in about ten days. I should finish filming before you!"

“…No way…” Wu Jing shook his head: “I don’t have that many scenes!”

"Who knows...Brother Jing, I'm going to change my clothes first."

"Well, go ahead... By the way, Uncle Da is here, go say hello to him later."

"Ok!"

(Happy New Year everyone... I'm going to my father-in-law's house tomorrow, so I guess I can only update twice a day for several days in a row...)
