Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 67 Victory is Justice
"But isn't this more in line with legal dramas? Doesn't Mr. Ren just want to make a TV series that revolves around love, marriage, and lawsuits between men and women? No way, no way."

Ren Zhonglun actually doesn’t really care what kind of movie he shoots.

In fact, as the helmsman of a group, his perspective on film and television dramas is different from that of ordinary audiences.

Young audiences like to watch fast-paced, thrilling plots.

They hate TV dramas about "family affairs, hardships, and misunderstandings," so they hope there are as few of these as possible.

But just because young people don’t like to watch this type of TV series doesn’t mean that this type of TV series is unpopular.

Whether it is the "Meteor Shower" that was popular in the past few years, or the "Temptation to Go Home" that became a hit as soon as it was aired this year.

These two dramas are enough to prove that there are still a lot of audiences willing to watch this kind of TV series.

Data doesn't lie.

What's more, one advantage of urban romance dramas is that they don't cross the line.

An urban romance drama can at most film some cheating, quarrels, and mistresses, but it can't be too excessive.

But this may not be the case for other dramas.

God knows when the crew will come up with something big.

Don't think that Ren Zhonglun, as the president of Shanghai Film Group, has no such worries at all.

Identity is not everything.

The release of "Great Cause" was blocked by the General Administration some time ago because Ms. Tang starred in the film for a few minutes.

That was a tribute drama shot by Han Sanping.

This can get stuck.

Not to mention him.

Of course, Ren Zhonglun also agreed with Zhou Mo's reasons.

Since we want to make a legal TV series, we naturally have to highlight the professionalism of the TV series.

If it's just for romance, why not just shoot an urban romance drama?
But he didn't expect that Zhou Mo could give him such a big job.

"Director Zhou, I understand what you mean. Since you want to make a professional drama, the audience will definitely want to see more about professions. But the problem is that some of the cases in your script really can't be filmed, and even if you film it, it can't be broadcast."

He pointed out some of these cases.

There are some sensitive slides involved.

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Mo quietly.

Ren Zhonglun also knew that directors like Zhou Mo, who became famous at a young age, all had their own pride. When they heard that something couldn't be filmed, they would get angry and continue to shoot it.

Just as he was thinking about how to communicate, he heard Zhou Mo say something.

"It doesn't matter. If you can't shoot it, just delete this part."

"Actually, Director Zhou, you're still young...ah? Ah, delete it?"

"Yes, delete it. Does Mr. Ren have any questions?" Zhou Mo asked.

Ren Zhonglun: "I thought you were going to insist..."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "I just thought about it and found that some plots are indeed not easy to shoot in the domestic environment. After all, we are trying to contribute good works to the market, so there is no need to deliberately create difficulties."

"Yes, yes... Director Zhou is the one who sees things clearly!"

Ren Zhonglun was overjoyed.

"However, this will leave a gap in the plot, which needs to be filled in again," Zhou Mo added.

"That's easy. As long as it doesn't cross the red line, Director Zhou can arrange it as he pleases."

Ren Zhonglun waved his hand generously.

Zhou Mo clapped his hands: "I've been waiting for you to say this."

"what?"

Ren Zhonglun was stunned, and then he saw Zhou Mo immediately take out another thick document from his briefcase.

Take it.

Open it and take a look.

The content is another part of the script.

Read carefully.

I found that the settings are the same, and it is still part of the script of the legal journey of the sharp-tongued male protagonist and the stubborn female protagonist.

However, some parts of the plot have been changed.

All the previous plots that were frantically rubbing against the red line are gone, and have become some popular content -

Business competition, inheritance, and property division.

As well as some of the old-fashioned quarrels, struggles, and abandonment in the entertainment industry.

After watching it once, Ren Zhonglun was deeply immersed in the rich and vivid plot.

It was not until Zhou Mo called him several times that he came to his senses.

"Mr. Ren, I wonder if you are satisfied with this version of the script?"

"Satisfied, I am very satisfied."

Ren Zhonglun held the script tightly in his hand, as if he was caressing the delicate skin of a super beauty.

With this script, there is no need to worry about making a bad TV series.

He can do whatever he wants.

"Director Zhou, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had this script? Why did you bring the previous script again..."

Halfway through his words, he saw the smile on Zhou Mo's lips and suddenly reacted.

"Director Zhou, are you opening a window in a dilapidated house?"

"Yeah." Zhou Mo nodded.

Ren Zhonglun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Director Zhou went through so much trouble. Is he worried that the show won't be broadcast if it's based on the current script?"

Zhou Mo did not hide it and said bluntly: "You have just read the script, you should know that although some of the plots in it do not touch the red line, the scale is actually not small...

In particular, several cases involving the entertainment industry are quite shocking and eye-catching. Although pseudonyms are used, it cannot stop the speculation of those who are interested.

In addition, Mr. Ren, you are the head of Shanghai Film Group, so I am wondering whether you are determined to shoot this kind of script. After all, once this TV series is broadcast, it will definitely have a certain impact on the film and television industry. "

In the new version of the script, Zhou Mo added some plot related to capital operations in the entertainment industry.

For example, ten years ago, a coal boss entered the entertainment industry and was cheated and lost all his money.

The Internet in 2011 was not like in previous lives. It was highly developed and many things were almost transparent.

In today's market, even slightly in-depth content related to the entertainment industry is enough to attract the audience's attention.

Hearing this, Ren Zhonglun smiled.

"Director Zhou is extremely talented and has achieved a lot at a young age, but his understanding of the entertainment industry is still a little shallow..."

Zhou Mo listened attentively.

Ren Zhonglun: "Let me put it this way, in front of the work and the achievements, everything is a minor problem, let alone some actors, the Shanghai Film Group is behind this play."

"I feel relieved with Mr. Ren's words." Zhou Mo heard the promise he wanted.

After finalizing the content of the filming, the two began to discuss the candidates for the main characters.

"Don't bother two people with one thing. Since Director Zhou is already responsible for writing the script, then the selection of the leading actors will naturally be troublesome for Director Zhou as well."

Ren Zhonglun was very satisfied with the script, and in return he gave the power of selecting actors to Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo didn't hesitate and immediately started thinking about the candidates for the main characters.

He aimed for the drama "Victory is Justice" to become a big hit.

For the sake of ratings, the character cannot be too obscure or transparent.

But we can't use those stars who are purely for traffic and have no acting skills at all.

It’s a workplace drama after all.

There are still requirements for acting skills.

In the previous life, the two protagonists of "Li Gou Hai" were Masato Sakai and Yui-chan, the wife in the minds of countless men.

The former has superb acting skills, but he was not very popular before 2012. The drama that really made him famous all over the country was "Li Gou Hai".

This role is more suitable for Guo Jingfei.

After all, he is the man who played Yu Huanshui.

His language system is extremely developed, and he is quite good at being sarcastic.

But the heroine...

Zhou Mo thought about it and found that in the Chinese entertainment industry in 2012, there was no actress who could replace Yui Aragaki in urban dramas.

There's no way, the latter is just too popular.

Yui Aragaki, who debuted as a child star, has always starred in urban dramas.

So it is very suitable for her to star in "Li Gou Hai".

In China, most of those who can match its popularity are currently in ancient costume dramas, while others are in the film industry. There is no possibility of them starring in urban dramas in the short term.

In desperation, Zhou Mo gave up looking for a star similar to Aragaki Yui in the circle and instead looked for a female star similar to the character type.

"Intern, assistant, newcomer, with my own ideas, and a heart full of justice..."

Suddenly, he thought of an actress.

Jiao Junyan.

This actor starred in a famous novel-adapted web drama in his previous life——

"Forensic Qin Ming".

Jiao Junyan played the protagonist Qin Ming's assistant, Li Dabao.

Good acting, and suitable personality.

Tentatively for her.

ps1: The female lead is tentatively set to be Jiao Junyan. If you have different opinions, you can leave a comment and the author can consider it later. Thank you.

ps2: The subsequent heroine of "Li Gou Hai" is confirmed to be Da Tiantian, and Jiao Junyan in these two chapters will not be changed. It is okay for everyone to know it. If it is changed, it will easily eliminate all the comments.
