This director is so innocent.

The original version devotes considerable space to describing the meticulous logic and extraordinary sensitivity of the characters.

It's 48 minutes longer than the domestic version—the original version is 160 minutes long.

Although it may seem a bit cumbersome, it is absolutely necessary, providing solid and reasonable support for the various high-energy plot twists that follow.

For example, in the Indian version, although the male protagonist is illiterate and can't understand the newspaper very well, he is good at observing the details of life to summarize experience and knowledge.

For example, he was able to conclude the damage that chemical fertilizers cause to farmland by observing the gradual decrease in earthworms.

Furthermore, in his daily communication with his apprentices regarding GG design, he pays meticulous attention to details such as the font size and duration of the GG, subtly implying that the male protagonist has a strong sense and sensitivity to the psychology of the masses.

The domestic version attributes the male protagonist's extraordinary skills to movie scenes, techniques, and inspirations that are popular among otaku.

This is utter nonsense, a blatant insult to the audience's intelligence.

How is this any different from the absurdity of "The domineering CEO falls in love with me"?

And then there's Chen Cong's line, "Check his movie-watching history for the past year."

This is truly an insult to the intelligence of police officers.

Now that he has brought out "Sheep Without a Shepherd," he naturally won't make the same mistakes as the domestic version, so the film's length has been increased to 150 minutes.

Adding some everyday details deepens the character of the male lead, Li Weijie, allowing him to transcend the stereotype of a hardcore movie enthusiast.

Of course, in the end, he still has to turn himself in; it's an irresistible force, unless you don't want the film to be released.

Then another question arises: if you don't want to release it, why make it in the first place? Are you just bored and have too much money to burn?

In fact, the domestic version provides a reason for the confession part.

The youngest daughter changed her score from 70 to 100 in order to get the violin, and the male protagonist's expression became very serious at that moment.

Because the bureau chief and his wife are role models right in front of him, he doesn't want his daughter to become like them in the future.

……

A dozen minutes later, Ning Hao finished skimming through the script for "Sheep Without a Shepherd," his expression a complex mix of envy and admiration...

He really wanted to dig out Su Jin's brain to see what it looked like.

"The Coffin in the Mountain" is a very good script, but "Sheep Without a Shepherd" is even better.

"Finished watching? What did you think?" Su Jin asked with a smile.

"The script is great, how did you come up with it?" Ning Hao asked curiously.

"Read more books, and you'll figure it out," Su Jin replied casually.

"Heh..." Ning Hao sneered, not believing it at all.

If reading more books were enough to come up with such a script, then there would be far too many good screenwriters.

Su Jin didn't care. He would write many good scripts in the future, and it would be too much trouble to explain the source of inspiration for each one.

It's better to attribute all of this to his genius.

After all, the title of bestselling young adult author is well-deserved, so it's normal for him to be able to write screenplays!

"Stop chuckling, just tell me, do you want this script or not?"

"What do you think!" Ning Hao rolled his eyes at Su Jin. Only a fool wouldn't want a script like this!

"Sheep Without a Shepherd" is different from his "Stone"; it is too commercial and has virtually no chance of winning an award.

As for "Sheep Without a Shepherd," it's too satirical. If it's well-made, it might win a major award.

"Since you've made up your mind, you've also thought about filming in Thailand, right?"

"Ah! Why are we filming in Thailand?"

"With a storyline like this, how can it pass censorship if we don't film it in Thailand?"

Not to mention Thailand, even the Thai government won't allow the use of the domestically produced version, as it uses a Sai country background.

"That makes sense." Ning Hao understood.

To create dramatic conflict, the film "Sheep Without a Shepherd" has the protagonist outmaneuvering the police, so how could the police department possibly tolerate the release of such a film?

Even if it manages to be released, there will likely be constant worry about the risk of it being taken down.

"Keep the roles of the male lead's eldest daughter and the bureau chief's son for me. You can decide on the other roles yourself. I only have one requirement: the actors' acting skills must be excellent."

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person to bow down for a pittance." Ning Hao waved his hand and then asked:

"I can understand the male lead's eldest daughter, but what do you need it for, the bureau chief's son! Do it yourself?"

"No, why can you understand the male lead's eldest daughter?"

"Do I know you too well? You're a womanizer, you're definitely using this role to fool young girls."

"Get lost, stop trying to smear me. I, Su Jin, am upright and honest, and I am not that kind of person at all."

"Hehe..." Ning Hao didn't believe Su Jin's nonsense at all.

Can a man who takes you to a foot massage and offers you Ukrainian black tea after only a short time of meeting be a good man?

"I don't care who you're trying to fool, but let me make this clear from the start: I'm aiming for awards with this film, and you can't give this role to someone who has no acting skills."

"Don't worry, you know this person too, it's for Shishi."

"Oh... so you used it to fool Shishi!" Ning Hao looked at Su Jin with a teasing grin.

grass……

I've been tricked by this bastard.

"Get lost! I told you I wasn't lying, can't you understand human language?!"

"Okay, okay... I'm not lying, alright?" Ning Hao finished his perfunctory reply, then his expression hardened, and he said seriously, "Shishi is a good girl, don't play with other people's feelings."

"Get lost..." Su Jin didn't want to talk to him anymore and got up to leave the office.

He realized that Ning Hao was a bastard with a problematic mindset, always thinking of him in a dirty way.

Can't he and Sister Xia have a pure friendship?

Ning Hao quickly caught up and asked, "Su Jin, you still haven't said who you're going to give the role of the bureau chief's son to! You're not really going to play it yourself, are you?!"

"No, it's for my classmate, you know him, Luo Jin. He signed with my company."

Since Luo Jin finished filming "Struggle", he has been hanging around the company every day. In addition, since he was not given a role in "The Coffin in the Mountain", Su Jin felt a little embarrassed when she saw him.

It's not that Luo Jin was forgotten; it's just that the "Heart Maze" project used an all-star lineup.

Basically, all the roles that can be called out are celebrities.

The character Huang Huan's best friend who appears at the end—he'd already arranged with Yang Mi to have her make a cameo appearance.

Okay! He admits that he had forgotten about Luo Jin.

Otherwise, casting him as Baihu would be acceptable.

But now that Huang Bolai has been confirmed for a cameo role, it's difficult to change it.

Upon hearing the name "Luo Jin," Ning Hao immediately recalled the handsome younger brother who used to follow Su Jin around every day at school, and nodded in agreement.

The roles of the eldest daughter and the bureau chief's son are not very important to him; as long as his acting skills are up to par, that's enough.

He said that before because he was afraid that Su Jin would try to deceive the young girl by shoving anyone into his life.
