I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 95: Half-Vote! (23)

Rao Xiaozhi used to be a drama actor and had a good relationship with Li Yapeng. They co-founded the Spring Drama Studio.

He has directed many plays, such as "Hello, Robbery!", the play version of "Love to the End", "Salted Egg", "Northeast Story", "Stupid Egg"...

He is quite famous in the drama circle.

In 15, "Charlotte's Troubles" was released, and drama adaptation became a new outlet. Then, in 16, "Hello, Crazy!" directed by Rao Xiaozhi was released...

The word of mouth is okay, but the box office is very poor!

In the same year, there were three popular movies adapted from plays, "Duds", "Twelve Citizens" and "Hello, Madman", with "Hello, Madman!" being the last one.

Rao Xiaozhi was feeling angry.

Especially after seeing so many negative reviews...

——I desperately want to make a second film and achieve some box office success to prove myself!

The film was produced by BJ Culture, and was introduced by Guo Fan...

"The Gunslinger" first has the characters, and then the story is built around the characters...

This kind of script places high demands on the actors!

In fact, directors who have transformed themselves into drama directors have very high requirements for actors.

Because drama is the art of actors!
Film is the art of the director. To be honest, in a film, there is no essential difference between actors and sound, light and scenery. They are all just elements of the film. In addition, due to the language of the camera and post-production editing, the role of the actors is greatly reduced.

The stage of a drama is different, there is no editing, no re-start...

It depends on real skills, every move and every word needs to be carefully considered...

Being used to filming dramas, Rao Xiaozhi naturally attaches great importance to the actors!
Originally, Rao Xiaozhi was going to continue working with Wan Qian, but Wan Qian became famous and had three dramas in the works: We Are Young with the Noon Sunshine team, Secret of the Three Kingdoms: Hidden Dragon in the Abyss with Tangren, and Escape with Chen Kun...

There is simply no time...

Then he met Ren Suxi through an introduction...

Oh, the male lead Ma Xianyong, Chen Jianbin decided to play...

Then there are Hu Guangsheng and Li Haigen, the one with the glasses and the big head...

To be honest, he was not optimistic about Shen Liang!

The reason is simple, Shen Liang is too young, and his image is far different from Hu Guangsheng...

But Guo Fan reminded him, "Shen Liang is a popular star. You have saved 10 million yuan in publicity fees by using him. As long as he likes this play, he will support you with real money!"

Rao Xiaozhi doesn't believe that 1000 million yuan in advertising expenses can be saved, but the words "real money supports you" are very touching!

Directors must be short of money.

Rao Xiaozhi is even more in need!
Beiwen didn't pay much, otherwise, Yuanshikong wouldn't have joined Zhengfu and Emperor Entertainment Group - Zhengfu is Han Jianu's company...

Why not give enough money?
Nonsense, investors give money based on performance. Rao Xiaozhi’s last movie was not a success, and the producer’s market forecast for “Panic” is not high, so naturally they won’t give you as much as you want!

……

Mao Buyi is going to fly to BJ. He has a lot of work on his hands. "King of Glory" asked him to compose personal songs for Xiang Yu and Yu Ji. In addition, he also sang the theme song "Please Remember Me" for the Disney movie "Coco"...

By the way, the theme song of "Fire King" was also given to him...

Shen Liang turned down many such jobs because of his filming duties.

However, Watsons Distilled Water announced that Shen Liang would be the spokesperson and created a special song for the advertisement, "Love You at 105 Degrees"...

"I probably won't be able to join the next tour... I have too much work on my hands!"

"…Have you told your boss?"

"I told you..." At this point, Shen Liang warned Mao Buyi seriously: "If you feel that there is too much work, just tell the boss. He is counting on us to make money now..."

Mao Buyi subconsciously said: "But you haven't made any money in the past few months!"

"Who said I didn't make money? Half of the copyright income from the songs I created goes to the company! Moreover, when I appear in variety shows, I am helping the company repay favors..." "...favors?"

"You won't understand even if I tell you. I'm leaving now...bye!"

Shen Liang originally wanted to invite Mao Buyi to appear in the next episode of "Mars" - the next episode of "Mars" requires guests to invite their friends to participate...

Forget it. Mao Buyi is not very suitable for the rhythm of "Mars", and Shen Liang has already told the program team that he will invite Wu Mengda. The program team also said that as long as Wu Mengda appears, he will be paid more than 150 million!

Uh, Uncle Ta needs to make money...

Wu Mengda has been with four wives and families on and off, and he has children to raise with almost every wife, and he needs to pay child support every month...

Lin Chi-ling’s fee for the last two episodes of “Go Fighting” was 400 million!
Uncle Da is much more talked about than Lin Chi-ling.

Shen Liang helped him design two topics, one was about investment, and the other was about the absurd things that happened when he was a teenager...

It will definitely be a hit!

Oh, Shen Liang also flew to BJ, but he went to the studio of "Flustered" for an audition...

After meeting Rao Xiaozhi, Shen Liang first tried out a scene in which Rao Xiaozhi and screenwriter Lei Zhilong teamed up with him... It was the scene where Ma Jiaqi asked the two of them why they robbed a mobile phone store - why not rob a bank instead of a mobile phone store?
"The mobile phone store is easy to rob, there are no security guards."

“I just don’t dare to rob a bank!”

"I really don't dare."

"What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?" Shen Liang was very angry, as if his tail was stepped on: "The time is not yet ripe. We are just entering the industry. We must start steadily and take one step at a time!"

The acting is... a bit exaggerated!
But the taste is right, it’s just... Shen Liang is so handsome, it’s hard to imagine that he is a fool.

"What do you think of Hu Guangsheng?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "I think Hu Guangsheng came from the countryside just to make a name for himself... He probably worked for a few years and found that he couldn't make any money, so he took the wrong path... Although his method is very extreme, in his heart, this is what he pursues in life!"

“…How many years have you worked?”

"...I can't just go to a big city and think about robbing... That's what I think."

"Then you're not the right age."

Shen Liang nodded: "I also think it's inappropriate...Hu Guangsheng should be around 22 years old...I'm only this year, and I'm definitely not sure about the relationship between Hu Guangsheng and Ma Jiaqi..."

In "The Shot Goes Wrong", the relationship between Ma Jiaqi and Hu Guangsheng is actually very complicated...

Everyone around Ma Jiaqi, including her own brother, did not understand her. She no longer hated her brother. She just wanted to die with dignity and honor because of high-level paraplegia. Helping Ma Jiaqi die was considered evil by most people, just like what Datou shouted on the rooftop, "You are killing people. I don't have any friends who are murderers!"

But Hu Guangsheng was willing to kill her!

Because Hu Guangsheng regards dignity as the most important thing.

Ma Jiaqi repeatedly asked them to kill her. When Hu Guangsheng saw the pain and despair of Ma Jiaqi's urinary incontinence, he decided to help Ma Jiaqi commit suicide...

He and Ma Jiaqi discussed the issue of Naihe Bridge very seriously. He said that the bridge is also a road, a road on the river. This shows that he, like Ma Jiaqi, recognizes that death is also a positive way to solve problems...

This kind of implicit emotion requires great acting skills to express accurately!
Shen Liang is far behind.

"So what do you think of our play?"

Shen Liang nodded: "...very good, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the audition!"

"Are you really optimistic?"

Hearing this, Shen Liang thought of something and said, "...Oh, I heard Director Guo say that our crew doesn't have enough funds? How about I invest half?"

"I mean if you think it's good, you can help write a promotional song..."

"No problem...what about the investment?"

“… Investment is also necessary…”
