The benefactor is always forcing me to study

The movie that Wen Qiang gave Cen Zhi was called "Pretty", which was adapted from a novel of the same name.

The original work of "Pretty" is very small. As an online article, it is not a bloody love story of I love you, you love him, he loves her, nor is it a pretentious emotional entanglement. However, the author insisted on finishing it. After that, the author wrote a few more books according to the theme of the Internet. After the fire, "Pretty" was brought up again, and the copyright was sold on the basis of the author's reputation.

A few years ago, "Pretty" released a small-scale online drama. The producer of the online drama added a third-rate vulgar love story in order to adapt to the trend. Not many fans of the original "Pretty" came forward to rectify the name of the original work. Maybe they were too pitiful, so some people went to read the original work, so the trend changed from scolding the original work to scolding the screenwriter.

Because "Pretty" is not a love story, it tells the pursuit of beauty by two girls with completely different personalities and appearances, and among them, there is a very important male character. teacher".

In the web drama, the story is turned into a love-hate relationship between "Teacher Mei" and the two girls, making the two girls look beautiful in order to win the attention of "Teacher Mei", and invisibly put the status of women extremely high. Low, and "Teacher Mei" is a scumbag just like that.

In fact, "Teacher Mei" is a catalyst, he is like a "devil", seducing two girls step by step, he is also a microcosm, including most people's views on female beauty in modern society.

Later, the author of "Pretty" came forward to express her disappointment with the web drama. She hoped that everyone would read the original work. "Pretty" is by no means a love story, and what it expresses is not just the simple pursuit of beauty.

It's a pity that in the era of Internet fast food, there are too few people who can really read an article with plain writing and deep metaphors. The splash caused by the online drama "Pretty" subsided within two days, and the copyright of "Pretty" has been sold. The author There is only so much that can be done.

The failure of the online drama is not all bad for "Pretty", at least, because of the Internet turmoil, a director noticed the novel and was willing to make a movie adaptation.

This person is the director of "Blocked", Zhong Xu.

Zhong Xu has also released a few movies since "Block", and the word-of-mouth box office is average, not as popular as "Block". After that, he went into hiding for more than a year to polish the script of "Pretty".

At the beginning of this year, the script of "Pretty" was completed, and Zhong Xu already had suitable actors in mind, so there was no large-scale casting. It's just that he has a favorite candidate, but the other party may not be willing. This kind of low-cost production, even if there are Zhong Xu himself is the guarantee of the box office, and some actors may not be optimistic.

After several back-and-forth selections, the two leading actresses were finally decided: Tian Lan from the original color girl group, Mao Tingwan from the amateur, and Qu Lu from Shining Studio.

As for the leading actor, Teacher Mei, Wen Qiang took the initiative to contact Zhong Xu to recommend Cen Zhi, and Zhong Xu also agreed.

When Cen Zhi looked at the cast list, most of them were people he knew.

Cen Zhi believed that Wen Qiang let him take on "Pretty" because the show was worth it. Cen Zhi spent a day reading the script, and when he got out of the story, Cen Zhi still felt a sense of melancholy.

He decided to take on the show.

The launch time of "Pretty" was set at the end of August. Before launching, Cen Zhi went to his mentor, Mr. He, to explain the situation, took a two-month leave, and then joined the group with Wei He.

The filming location of "Pretty" is not fixed. In the urban setting, there are many places where materials can be collected, so the main creators of the crew met at the hotel that the crew had booked in advance.

When Cen Zhi arrived, only Qu Lu hadn't arrived yet. Tian Lan, Mao Tingwan and the director Zhong Xu had all arrived. Qu Lu was delayed due to personal matters and would arrive later. Zhong Xu decided to have dinner first, so he reserved a box for Cen Zhi and the three of them to go first Go, go and order by yourself.

Cen Zhi and Tian Lan haven't been in contact much after "NoLimit". The short-term CP of the two also broke up after Cen Zhi came out publicly. When they met today, Tian Lan still looks gentle and gentle before. The girl's long hair is in the Behind the ears, there is a fair and jade-like face, which makes people feel comfortable.

Tian Lan congratulated Cen Zhi: "Congratulations on winning the Golden Film Award."

Cen Zhi smiled: "Thank you." Then he asked: "Why did you come to act?"

The original color girl group is mainly about singing. After the initial popularity, the popularity has dropped slightly, but it is still the most popular girl group in the past few years. The three members of the original color are also very good, and they have won the favor of many people.

According to the current development of the original color, it is far from the time of transformation, Tianlan smiled and said: "Director Zhong came to me, he thought my appearance was more suitable, let me try it, Taotao and Liuliu also support , I’m coming. I’ll ask you for your advice then.”

Cen Zhi didn't dare to do it, they went to the box, Mao Tingwan was not there, Mao Tingwan was not an artist, and Cen Zhi didn't know who it was, Tian Lan looked around and said, "Tingwan probably hasn't come down yet, I'll call her."

As soon as Tianlan went out, she ran into Mao Tingwan in the corridor.Mao Tingwan is not an artist, she is an ordinary female high school student, she was born fat, because of her body shape she is always inferior and introverted, she walks with her breasts in her mouth, and her hair is long, covering her face, wishing she could be invisible, no Let others see.

Tianlan went up to meet her: "Tingwan, here."

Mao Tingwan glanced at Tianlan, her eyes faintly filled with envy, Tianlan is slim and beautiful, she can be called the goddess in Mao Tingwan's heart, and Tianlan has a good personality, unlike those people who treated her equally on the surface and ridiculed her secretly.

But Mao Tingwan didn't dare to get too close to Tian Lan, she responded vaguely, and kept a distance from Tian Lan, Tian Lan didn't care, and walked towards the private room with Mao Tingwan with a smile: "Cen Zhi has arrived."

Mao Tingwan paused, then gave a low hum.

Tian Lan said: "Cen Zhi is a very nice person, you don't have to be afraid."

Mao Tingwan gathered the corners of her clothes nervously. When she was chasing stars, she was discovered by her classmates. Many people laughed at her, saying that she was worthy of chasing stars, and tore off the posters, stickers, and postcards she bought. Mao Tingwan Heartbroken, and precisely because she was unhappy at school, when Zhong Xu approached her, she agreed.

Now that she was about to meet her male god, Mao Tingwan remembered those sarcastic voices again, she stopped at the door, and Tian Lan walked in first: "Cen Zhi, we are coming."

In the private room, besides Cen Zhi, Qu Lu also arrived.
