This Star Wants To Retire

For the new film he is preparing, Wang Rong is somewhat proud of it.

Although the box office and word-of-mouth of his last film were both high, the total box office of the films he directed has reached nearly 2 billion, and he is already considered a very successful film director.

And this new film, in terms of script, he is the first screenwriter.

The most important thing is that he thinks this movie is deep enough!

Wang Rong was born as an actor. He first acted in serial dramas, and he has produced several popular hits.

He came from a serious major, and other classmates were still studying, so he had already started to play the leading role.

It's just that he didn't act in a series for too long. After acting for four or five years, he joined the film industry.

After acting in movies, most of his blockbuster movies are comedies.

In addition, he himself looks quite cheerful, so he has always been labeled as a comedian.

From the point of view of personal honor, Wang Rong has won the best actor.

However, he only won the best actor once.

For the male lead of a comedy film, it is quite difficult to win the best actor.

Many comedians have said that their acting skills are good in the eyes of people in the circle, but because they are acting in comedy, many audiences will ignore these.

After Wang Rong became a director, he actually took the path of commercial comedy.

To be honest, it was quite successful.

But gradually, like many great directors, he no longer only pursues the box office.

He still wants to be well-known, to have profound content, and to win prizes!

I've had enough of the endless emptiness that money creates! What I want now is to force the grid!

Although the new script prepared by Wang Rong is still full of laughs, the main subjects of the filming are the people at the bottom of society.

The core of his focus is some sensitive social issues.

It should not only make people feel ridiculous, but also make people feel a lot of emotions after calming down.

After watching "Ten Years of Work Off Stage" directed by Luo Mo, Wang Rong deeply realized that Luo Mo is definitely a thoughtful person.

"Such a person will definitely fall in love with my new script."

"This wave is stable."

……..

……..

On the other side, Luo Mo, who was about to trick a certain actor into the "thief ship", didn't know that this actor also wanted to catch him.

He had the same idea as Wang Rong, and he also felt that it was just a matter of showing him the script and letting him check it out.

—— "Mutual Hunting".

In the past few days, in addition to cooperating with the early publicity of "The Beginning", Luo Mo also took the time to watch the first and second episodes of Pineapple TV's [Suspense Theater]'s first large-scale online drama "Hunting Crime".

Well, with a borrowed membership.

"Very good, a work above the standard." Luo Mo commented in his heart.

Personally, he is not very interested in Dangai drama.

So he is mainly looking at the case, the storyline, and the language of the camera.

Suspense dramas actually test the director's mirroring.

This "Hunting Crime" is superior in many aspects.

The cases in it are all social issues that can trigger heated discussions, which are very poignant for some viewers.

For example, the first case is domestic violence.

It tells the story of a woman who has been subjected to domestic violence many times. After careful planning, she killed her husband and then pretended to be self-defense.

Under normal circumstances, the story rhythm of web dramas will be faster, and the plot will be very compact, and strive to achieve an effect that makes people want to stop.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is one case in two episodes.

Now, instead, there are some dramas that focus on daily plots, which are especially water-inducing.

In Luo Mo's view, "Hunting Crime" is qualified as the first shot of a [theatre].

But he is not in vain.

The [Theatre] of the two major video platforms fired their first shots at almost the same time.

Then, this first battle will be extremely important.

"A good start is half the battle." Luo Mo muttered.

"Hey, I have to say, the name of the show "The Beginning" is quite auspicious..."

After going to the studio to arrange some work matters, Luo Mo returned to Xicheng's home and simply packed some personal belongings.

Xu Chujing was still in the capital, still busy with the termination of the contract with the first-tier international luxury brand that made a principled mistake.

There was a little trouble in the middle, and the team needed to intervene strongly.

Xu Chujing must resolve this agreement.

As for Luo Mo, he was going to Hangzhou again to record the next part of "Director's Show".

Ningdan, who lives upstairs from his house, is also packing her luggage. She will go to Hangzhou with Luo Mo later.

Sister Run has been very motivated recently because of Luo Mo's relationship.

"Director's Show" was originally an S-level project that she attached great importance to. After Luo Mo took over, she became more confident in the performance of this variety show.

It's amazing that Luo Mo can often determine the flow and quality of a variety show.

—a man of great quantity.

After the two got into the nanny car together, Ning Dan glanced at the briefcase and thermos in Luo Mo's hands.

"Why do you look like an old cadre?" She pursed her plump red lips slightly and smiled.

Luo Mo put down the thermos, then pointed to the briefcase and said, "There is my baby here."

"The script?" Ning Dan asked.

"That's right, there is a script for "Director's Show" and a script for my new movie." Luo Mo didn't hide anything.

After the last recording of "Director's Show", Ning Dan told Luo Mo about the theme of the remaining short film that Tian Ou had drawn.

This time, it's not [comedy].

According to the rules of the lottery, it is actually possible for a director to draw the same category twice.

After he learned about this category, he thought it was quite interesting.

Luo Mo went back and thought about it, and decided on the script.

When Ning Dan heard this, what surprised her was definitely not the script of the short film, but that Luo Mo actually brought the script of his new movie.

What to bring?

"Even if you want to promote it, it can't be so early?" She smiled.

"Could it be... How many actors do you want to choose among the contestants of this show?" Ning Dan asked.

Luo Mo glanced at her and said, "Sister Dan, you got half of the answer right."

"Huh?" Ning Dan frowned, a little puzzled.

But as a woman, she didn't ask about the business first, but said with resentment: "Don't call me Sister Dan, didn't you always call me Director Ning on the phone and in the show?"

Hearing this, Luo Mo could only cough a few times, and said in his heart, "Then I still call you Sister Run in my heart."

He didn't answer the complaint, but said directly: "I intend to show this script to Wang Rong."

"Really?" Ningdan didn't continue the above topic, pondered for a moment and said: "He is indeed a very good choice."

"Right." Luo Mo felt that he planned well.

"Do you need me to help you bridge the gap?" Ning Dan asked.

She and Wang Rong have known each other relatively early, and Wang Rong had appeared in her variety show seven or eight years ago.

No, a mature woman is good, without a word of nonsense, she got wet again.

Luo Mo said: "It's not a big problem, as long as he is willing to read the script, the matter will basically be settled."

"Really?" Ningdan smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

………

………

Hangzhou and Mo are not too far away. After the nanny car drove to the recording site of "The Director's Show", Ning Dan went to arrange work first, and Luo Mo went to the lounge to take a nap for a while.

He came too early, and he arrived at the recording site at the same time as Ning Dan, so it must be earlier.

As a result, Wang Rong came quite early.

After chatting for a few words on WeChat, the two men who "have their own ghosts" found a place to meet.

Luo Mo and Wang Rong exchanged documents as if they were meeting secretly.

"Then... Shall I take it back to read?" Wang Rong asked.

"Okay, I'll take it back and take a good look at it," Luo Mo said.

He lowered his head and glanced at the script first. The script Wang Rong gave him was called "Millions of Diamonds".

Looking at the title of the film, Luo Mo could roughly make up part of the content.

Wang Rong also glanced at the cover of the script given by Luo Mo.

The title of the film confuses him a bit, as he doesn't know what it's about.

This movie is called "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

………

………

After the two men returned to their respective lounges, Wang Rong immediately began to read the script.

Luo Mo received a call from Ningdan, asking him to go over and help.

She wanted to make a small change to the competition system of "Director's Show", and she wanted to hear Luo Mo's opinion.

After receiving the call, Luo Mo had no choice but to put down the script of "Million Diamonds" and go to Ningdan first.

But as soon as he walked out of the lounge, he folded back, put the script in the briefcase, then put the briefcase in the cabinet, and then went out again.

In the initial stage of preparation for a movie, it is still necessary to keep it secret.

It is a kind of high trust that others are willing to show you the script first.

Therefore, Luo Mo would still be more careful, instead of just throwing the script on the table in the lounge.

After thinking about it, he also told a staff member not to let others enter his rest room at will.

On the other hand, as soon as Wang Rong entered the room, he began to read the content of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Soon, he was fascinated.

"Dong dong dong." The staff knocked lightly on the door, but he didn't hear it.

He didn't wake up until the staff knocked again and called "Teacher Wang Rong".

Wang Rong read the whole script very slowly, and he has only read a small part of it so far.

The plot in the script has only reached the stage of buying "fake medicine" for the first time.

Wang Rong found it very interesting, and had never seen such a subject before.

However, based on the tone of the story at the beginning and the inertia of his thinking, he regarded this content as a cool point.

"Go outside and buy it cheaply, and then bring it back and sell it at a high price."

"Won't this make a fortune!" Wang Rong thought to himself.

He put the script away carefully, and after thinking about it, he decided to take it with him.

One is because it is safer, and the other is because Wang Rong is itching to watch it, and wants to continue reading.

He even forgot that his job today is to be a director, not to read scripts.

After following the staff out of the room, Wang Rong suddenly slapped his thigh and muttered, "It's against the law!"

The female staff member wearing black-rimmed glasses was taken aback, her neck was stiff and she turned to look at Wang Rong.

"What is he... what is he talking about?"

"What's going on in his head?"

"I shouldn't encounter any serious problems."

The entertainment industry is dirty.

Wang Rong looked at her, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a dry smile: "Then what, haha, hahaha, I was thinking about my own short film."

"Okay, Teacher Wang Rong, please come with me first, let's do a preparation first." She walked forward quickly.

Wang Rong coughed lightly, and followed immediately, still thinking about the contents of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

"Selling drugs like the hero is breaking the law!"

Thinking of this, Wang Rong suddenly became more curious about the content of the follow-up plot.

He really wanted to know how this very important issue would be resolved at the end of the script.

The most important thing is that this so-called "fake medicine" seems to have the same effect, but it can really save people.

Then, the problem is not here!

Wang Rong does not read the script purely from the perspective of a reader, but from the perspective of an actor, a screenwriter, and a director.

So he was watching and thinking.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were many, many things that could be explored in this subject matter and in this story.

In contrast, my "Millions of Diamonds"... is so deep!

In terms of subject matter and story, it is directly weak.

From the general direction, it is not a level at all.

It's just that I haven't read much of the script, and I don't know how complete and detailed the script is.

Wang Rong's preparation process will soon be over.

One is because the little girl interviewed wanted to ask Luo Mo more questions.

Another reason is that Wang Rong himself is a little distracted, and the degree of cooperation is not particularly high.

After he was free, he immediately continued to read the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Wang Rong took the time to check the time, and he could probably watch it for about an hour.

He raced against the clock immediately.

--Simply can not stop!

When another staff member knocked on his door and asked him to go to the recording hall, he happened to see a very classic line in "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

When Wang Rong saw this sentence, he couldn't hold back, and read the lines directly as an actor was acting.

“[I’ve been selling medicine for so many years, and I discovered that there is only one disease in this world—the disease of poverty.]”

He is absolutely amazing!

"This script, shit! This script... shit!"

Wang Rong didn't dare to delay the recording, but put the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in his bag like a treasure, and carried it with him.

Baby, this is baby.

"Do you still need me to check this script?"

"Am I worthy of its opinion?"

"What advice can I make!?" Wang Rong was dumbfounded.

He can hardly fault anything!

There is nothing wrong with the logic of the story.

After all, you have to know that this movie is based on real people and real events on Earth.

At first, when he saw the title of the film, he thought: "What kind of shit name, it doesn't feel very attractive."

Now, it is: "The title of this film is also super good!"

After arriving at the recording hall, he immediately walked towards Luo Mo quickly.

Coincidentally, Luo Mo was also carrying a briefcase in his hand.

"Where did you see the script?" Wang Rong asked directly.

"I haven't watched it yet. Just now Director Ning asked me to have something to do, and then I went to prepare for the shooting, and I was busy with other things. Brother Rong, I will watch it as soon as I have time." Luo Mo was still a little embarrassed , It seems that I don't pay much attention to it.

But he was really busy just now and didn't have time.

Wang Rong immediately said: "Don't look at it."

"Huh?" Luo Mo was slightly taken aback.

Wang Rong also felt that these words were ambiguous and easy to be misunderstood, so he immediately added: "I thought about this script and felt that there are still many places that are immature. I decided to push the project back until... until the second half of the year. , No, push it to next year!"

"When the time comes, I'll show you the revised final version." Wang Rong started beeping blindly.

He kept thinking in his heart: "It's a good thing I haven't watched it, but it's a good thing he hasn't watched it yet."

Putting "Millions of Diamonds" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" together is a shame.

(ps: Just one chapter today.)
