I Really Can't Act

The filming of "Black and White Police Detective" was very easy, and Mei Zihan almost went through it every time, so it was very easy to ask for leave.

In fact, Mei Zihan would rather shoot all his scenes in one go, but considering that the props crew and scene personnel are not easy, he still let go of this tempting idea.

It's almost May now, and the crew of the second season of "Fu Shen" is ready for work. At the same time, the "Star Barrister" that Qunyu Entertainment mentioned before has almost entered the final stage of preparation.

In other words, for the next time, Mei Zihan will most likely live in the crew.

Here, I have to mention the question about "Fu Shen".Because at the beginning, the investment in this web drama was almost all made by Jiang Ying alone. Later, the income brought by the first season of "Fu Shen" has almost made back its original income, and the remaining two seasons are almost all pure profits. .

Jiang Ying seems to be a bit addicted, so she voted for other miscellaneous dramas when she had nothing to do. At the same time, she also used Mei Zihan's convenience to invest a lot of money in "Star Lawyer".

Other than that, it was just some messy jobs. Liu Tianyi picked and picked a few jobs, and let Mei Zihan go out to show his face.

"Ahhhhh why are the scripts that come to me recently like this?" Mei Zihan almost went into a rage, "It's either silly and sweet or fake, can't we have something special?"

These books are not even comparable to "Black and White Detective".

"It's been like this recently, there's no way." Liu Tianyi comforted, "Almost all the books that can be delivered to you can be photographed. Some books are good, but they can't be photographed without investment, so of course you can't see them. "

This is already a book with relatively good quality after excluding many IP dramas.

In fact, IP dramas are not bad, but the homogenization of the market has become more serious recently, and the new generation of Xiaosheng Xiaohua cannot support too complicated characters, so the character design can only be based on the easiest and most facial makeup.Of course, they didn't have too much hope for the TV series, but there was nothing particularly good about the movie.

The so-called big productions have few scenes and simple roles, and the small productions don’t have a strong team, and the director and screenwriter’s abilities are very problematic.

"Otherwise, why do you think I hope you can break into different circles?" Liu Tianyi sighed, "Actors are relatively easy to get ahead, but directors are more difficult. Now a good book, a good team , is still in the hands of those old directors. They may not be able to make a film in two or three years, and often people rush to ask for roles as soon as they show a little intention. You should establish a good relationship with these older directors early , can also receive better plays."

Mei Zihan was jointly awarded the most commercial value and the most popular artist of the year by some media two days ago. It is a joke to say that he has no filming!

But the fact is that, if Mei Zihan wants to make a movie, no matter which book he likes, he can get a leading actor just by talking to the investors.But the problem is that Mei Zihan has no interest in these dramas.

He's really not interested in abusing food, it's only interesting to abuse food occasionally.These days, because he has passed one by one in "Black and White Detective", he feels that other actors are not looking right at him.

——Because of Han Yi's stumbling performance, one even got stuck more than a dozen times.

In contrast, everyone thought that Mei Zihan was deliberately showing off to Han Yi.

After all, this film only needs to show a [-]-point acting skill, but Mei Zihan is full of firepower, and looks a bit bullying.

Never thought that I could actually abuse people?Still abuse such an old man.

Apart from sighing "The actors in this crew are not good", Mei Zihan didn't have any extra thoughts.

"Brother Liu, do you have any news from here?" Mei Zihan asked curiously.

"Actually, there is an interesting play, but they didn't come to see you." Liu Tianyi said after thinking for a while.

"En?" Mei Zihan blinked, "Brother Liu, you seldom hesitate so much, what kind of play?"

"A film adapted from a drama." Seeing that Mei Zihan was interested, Liu Tian simply told what he knew, "The largest drama group in China recently wanted to adapt one of their ace dramas into a movie It will be screened. If there is no accident, they should choose their drama actors as the leading roles, which will not only save money, but also save trouble."

"Huh?" Mei Zihan was a little curious, "Is it the dramas we went to see before?"

"Almost." Liu Tian nodded, "The name of the play is "The Great Devil", you know that?"

"I know, I've seen it, it's very interesting." Mei Zihan became interested.

"Big Devil" is a comedy with a scary name. The protagonist is obsessed with theology because of the company's bankruptcy, and is sent to a mental hospital as a patient.Who knew that Dalei Qiyu met on the way, not only failed to enter the mental hospital smoothly, but directly entered the demon kingdom.

The protagonist has always hoped that he can use the so-called demon power to help him make a comeback. However, after he entered the demon kingdom, he was regarded as a "devil" by the people of the demon kingdom because his appearance was completely different from that of demons.Interestingly, because the protagonist was fed a lot of psychiatric drugs before he was sent to the hospital, he felt that he was sick, thinking that those hideous demons were medical staff imagined by himself.

This play is full of irony, but it has been dubbed a comedy because of its relaxed and playful language style and rhythm, and it has always been a classic play.

The choice of adapting this drama into a movie is naturally deliberate.

"But brother Liu, this is a movie that the repertory theater troupe wants to adapt, so it shouldn't have much to do with me." Mei Zihan couldn't help asking after he figured out the details.

"This drama needs to be changed. The original plot has been seen by many people who watched the drama, and the filming is not very attractive. I heard that the role of the king of the demon kingdom will be greatly increased, and it will become a double hero." Liu Tianyi looked Mei Zihan up and down, "You are useless for that human hero, he must use the pillars of the drama troupe. But you can try the role of the big devil."

"I just took over a movie with two male leads!"

"Don't worry, with your reputation, if you make this movie, you will definitely be the number one male lead." Liu Tianyi didn't think much of it, "But if you want to be a devil, you probably have to wear special effects makeup all the way."

Since people want to clarify the boundary between human beings and demons, the costume of this demon is definitely not just enough to make do with pointed ears and horns, it is probably adjusted to "disfigurement".

If Mei Zihan accepts this drama, he probably won't have a chance to show his face. You have to be a true fan to see Mei Zihan behind the makeup!

"It sounds really interesting." Mei Zihan thought for a while, feeling a little moved, "But let's take a look at the adapted script first."

"Okay, let me get in touch for you." Seeing that Mei Zihan agreed, Liu Tian also decided to call and ask, "You have to be prepared for the salary."

"Tsk, don't talk about the salary, can I even get him the investment?" Mei Zihan waved his hand indifferently, "Just the second season of "Fu Shen" this year is already very profitable."

Mei Zihan didn't have a hobby of buying luxury houses, luxury cars and jewelry, and he had plenty of funds, so it wouldn't be a problem to get a discount for the film that he liked. The three words "Mei Zihan" are enough to attract a bunch of investors to spend money.

There are many private repertory troupes in China, but there are only two that can be said to be rich and famous, one is the Qinglong Repertory Theatre, and the other is the Xingyue Repertory Theatre.

The two repertory troupes have always been rivals. Not only did they poach talent from each other, but they also poached screenwriters and directors, and poached everything they could.Often, if celebrities want to improve their acting skills and come to the repertory theater troupe for a layer of gold plating, they almost always go to these two repertory theater troupes.

In the past few years, the two repertory troupes have exported some good artists to the entertainment circle. Although they are half popular and not popular, they are not bad.

In terms of qualifications and contacts, the Qinglong Repertory Theater is actually better than the Xingyue Repertory Theatre. It is also the Qinglong Repertory Theater that beats the Xingyue Repertory Theater in national and even world-class drama performance awards.But what is depressing is that a drama film adapted by the Xingyue Repertory Troupe two years ago was a big hit at the box office, and its fame overwhelmed Qinglong in an instant, which made people depressing.

It is common for drama actors to look down on actors in the entertainment industry, but that being said, there are not many drama actors who want to develop in the entertainment industry.It’s just that drama actors are often difficult to compare with those entertainment stars in terms of appearance, and the performance of drama will appear exaggerated in front of the camera, so it is quite difficult to cross industries.

The reason why the Qinglong Repertory Troupe has been making movies is that it recruited for the exam last year.

There are so many film and television schools in China, there are not many who learn acting, but how many of them can make their debut and act?Being able to be admitted to a well-known domestic drama troupe is like an ordinary undergraduate freshman who directly enters a state-owned enterprise after graduation. It is definitely a good choice.

Originally, the number of recruits for the Qinglong Drama Troupe had always been higher than that of Xingyue, but because of the box office hits of Xingyue's films, for the first time, the number of recruits for the Qinglong Drama Troupe plummeted to less than one-third of previous years. All of them rushed towards the Xingyue Repertory Troupe.

This is intolerable.

Isn't it just making movies?

Now variety shows can be filmed for fun, and what the Xingyue Repertory Troupe can film, they can also film!

But when it comes to planning to make a movie, I realized that making a movie is not easy, especially for drama movies, basically only comedy is the only choice.Because the acting methods of drama actors are not suitable for showing on the big screen, only comedy movies can tolerate this kind of exaggerated interpretation method to increase the point of laughter.Especially for the first electric shock movie, it is even more important to be safe.

Thus, the "Big Devil" movie project came into being.

Today, the reason why the Qinglong Drama Troupe held a meeting was precisely because they received a call from Mei Zihan's manager.
