"The stars I know all hope to play more upright roles, the better. Big-name stars don't accept villain roles when they see them. You actually went to play the villain." Wang Jing shook his head: "You are really different from ordinary people."
"As long as I want to take on a positive role, I can take it. Several scripts come to me every day, but there are very few outstanding villain roles. They are hard to come by."
Yue Guan is definitely a person who yearns for positive energy, but if an actor can only play positive roles but not negative ones, it definitely means that the actor has not yet mastered his skills.
The truly top actors are both good and evil, and are extremely malleable.
For Yue Guan, who has no shortage of resources, outstanding villain protagonists are obviously much rarer than outstanding decent protagonists.
As for the little emperors he has played, including Zhang Wuji this time, Yue Guan does not think these two characters are villains.
If the emperor's palace, scheming, all the birds are hidden, and life and death are taken, it would be an insult to the emperor's identity to distinguish between good and evil.
A good person may not necessarily make a good emperor.
A murderous executioner may not be unable to become a wise king.
This kind of emperor-like characters are all neutral characters in Yue Caring. He will also play in the gray area without obvious good or evil overtones.
"Brother Jing, will you accept this role? If not, I will find someone else. I really want to film it."
"How much money are you prepared to invest?"
"At least 100 million."
Wang Jing shook his hands.
He found that he was really old.
After decades of making movies, the investment is tens of millions at most.
After getting to know Yue Guan, Yue Guan opened his mouth and it was 100 million.
We are all human, why are you so proud
"Yue Guan, are you sure?"
"I'm sure, my script is also about the sinking of the Taiping Ship, so the cost is theoretically not much different from Wu Baige's "The Taiping Ship". Of course, the actor I hired must have saved money, and the props he used up, We just use it and can save a lot of money, 100 million should be almost enough."
Wang Jing: "...you are amazing."
He was convinced.
This is all calculated into.
"Does your company still have 100 million in funds?" Wang Jing expressed doubts.
"Our company is definitely gone, but I can personally invest 50 million, and leave the remaining investment share to others. Brother Jing, believe it or not, I can raise 200 million in investment immediately if I just shout."
Wang Jingxin.
The hidden energy that Yue Guan has shown before has proved his background. Coupled with the resources in Yue Guan's hands, investors are indeed rushing to get an investment opportunity in Yue Guan's hands.
Wang Jing made a quick judgment in his mind, and then made a decision: "I will help you with this 50 million investment, and I will join the team to run Wu Baige."
Yue Guan smiled: "Brother Jing, I believe we can cooperate happily and beat Wu Baige's head to pieces."
Wang Jing looked down at the script again and said with a smile: "Based on your script alone, Wu Baige's "The Taiping Wheel" has already lost."
Wang Jing couldn't think of anything Wu Baige could win with.
It's also a story about the Taiping Wheel, and it's also about love. Yue Guan told a story that amazed him.
Wang Jing has also read Wu Baige's "Taiping Wheel" script.
After reading it, he had a feeling that maybe he didn't understand it.
I really don't see anything that he can admire.
Maybe his artistic quality is too low and he cannot understand Wu Baige's thoughts.
"If it really goes according to the script, Yue Guan, I feel like I might even win the Golden Dragon Award."
Yue Guan smiled: "It's not that exaggerated."
"Absolutely. The judges like this tone. It has many twists and turns, reflects the dark side of human nature, and is also politically correct. No, I have to study the script carefully and revise it for you."
The more Wang Jing thought about it, the more he felt there was a way.
Of course Yue Guan has no objection.
Although this script cannot be considered purely original, there is no successful precedent. He really needs a more professional director or screenwriter to help him check it.
"Brother Jing, there's nothing wrong with the script, right?"
"No, definitely not. It's just that the setting of all villains is too challenging for the audience."
His scalp was numb every time he read this script.
The script is written like this:
During World War II, Lei Fang, the head of Taigang Company, and his fiancée Yu Zhen, a noble daughter, boarded the Taiping Ship together and met a young painter Yan Zekun on the ship.
Yan Zekun was a civilian who participated in the Great Patriotic War. Although he was defeated, his handsome appearance and hard-blooded experience coupled with his superb painting skills soon made the noble daughter Yu Zhen fall in love.
Yu Zhen and Yan Zekun fell in love at first sight, and then they had a fierce fight. In the end, they were caught by Yu Zhen's fiancé Lei Fang.
When the Shura Field opens, it's a thrill.
Yan Zekun was captured by Lei Fang's bodyguard because Yan Zekun was a poor man and had seduced Yan Zekun's fiancee. In that era, even if Lei Fang killed Yan Zekun, no one would accuse him.
Yu Zhen interceded for Yan Zekun, hoping that Lei Fang would let Yan Zekun go, but Lei Fang flatly refused, saying that he would cut into pieces the man who had given him forgiveness.
In order to save Yan Zekun, Yu Zhen said that she was willing to marry Lei Fang. As long as Lei Fang let Yan Zekun go, she could do anything.
At this time, Lei Yifang transformed into a business elite, and his affectionate personality completely disappeared, replaced by shrewdness and cold-bloodedness.
He signed a series of unequal treaties with Yu Zhen. With the help of this incident, he will be completely promoted from a businessman to the aristocratic class, and with the help of Yu Zhen, he will successfully break into the upper class society of the Ugly Kingdom that is about to arrive.
In return, Lei Fang let Yan Zekun go, but he did not allow Yu Zhen and Yan Zekun to meet again.
Yu Zhen expressed her understanding. After all, she was still nominally Lei Fang's fiancée and should have kept a distance from other men.
But love is unstoppable.
Yu Zhen was loyal to her heart in the end, and she chose to find Yan Zekun secretly, hoping to relive her old dream with him.
Then, Yu Zhen saw a scene that broke her heart:
Yan Zekun and Lei Fang are together.
The content of the discussion between the two made Yu Zhen's face even more pale.
It turned out that Lei Fang didn't like women at all, and his marriage to her was just for her noble status.
And Yan Zekun was a liar hired by Lei Fang, who came specifically for her.
Lei Yifang paid Yan Zekun money to deceive Yu Zhen's heart, and then he came forward to catch the rapist, thereby signing an unequal contract with Yu Zhen and maximizing his benefits.
Now that the matter has been successfully completed, Lei Fang is celebrating with Yan Zekun.
And gave Yan Zekun a large sum of money.
Yu Zhen's heart was completely broken.
At this time, the Taiping ship collided with another passenger ship. The unexpected shipwreck exposed humanity even more vividly.
Lei Fang chose to escape immediately, without caring about the lives of Zhen and Yan Zekun.
And Yan Zekun and Yu Zhen faced a life and death decision.
There is one last space left for the lifeboat.
Only one of the two can survive.
Yan Zekun gave Yu Zhen the chance of survival and confessed the "truth" to Yu Zhen.
It turns out that he was indeed hired by Lei Fang, but he and Lei Fang had a bloody feud. His mother was killed by Lei Fang while driving under the influence. He spent all his efforts to get in touch with Lei Fang and Yu Zhen because he knew that Lei Fang's company had a big problem, so he tried his best to get engaged to the noble daughter Yu Zhen. As long as Yu Zhen stops helping Lei Fang, Lei Fang will not be able to obtain noble status, and he will soon become a pauper.
Yan Zekun is willing to sacrifice himself to let Yu Zhen live, just asking Yu Zhen to see Lei Fang's true face and stop helping him. The shipwreck came too suddenly, and all the contracts and agreements signed before had fallen into the sea. Now Yu Zhen is absolutely free.
Yu Zhen agreed to Yan Zekun and got the last position in the lifeboat.
Yan Zekun turned around and secretly went to find the first mate.
He was able to board the Taiping Wheel because the first mate was his father.
Although the shipwreck came suddenly, nothing would happen to them, father and son.
In addition, his mother died of illness. The reason why he appears here is to accept the commission from Lei Fang's competitor to destroy the marriage between Lei Fang and Yu Zhen. He is actually a commercial spy.
Although there were some accidents, the result was good, and Yan Zekun was very happy.
Yu Zhen, who boarded the lifeboat at the same time, was also very relieved.
She held the "Heart of the Ocean" given to her by Lei Fang in her hand, which is said to be a priceless treasure, and murmured to herself: "I didn't expect that Lei Fang was also a paper tiger with a glossy appearance. My child, I'm afraid you need a different father."
Yu Zhen touched his lower abdomen with his left hand.
A new life is conceived in her belly.
It doesn't belong to Lei Fang, nor does it belong to Yan Zekun.
Neither of them knew that she had been expelled from the family because she became pregnant out of wedlock.
This so-called noble daughter is actually not much better than Yan Zekun.
But in order to pursue him, Lei Fang gave away all his belongings.
All his hopes lie in Zhen, and with the help of Zhen's noble status and connections, he can make a comeback in Chou Country.
He was destined to be disappointed.
The last scene of the script is very ironic.
Time forwards to ten years later.
Yan Zekun became a famous painter in Chou Country and held his own art exhibitions in the Western world.
Lei Yifang became a financial tycoon in suits and ties, scolding Fang Qiu on Wall Street.
And Yu Zhen became a second-tier female star in Hollywood, flying, riding horses, traveling around the world, getting married and having children, leading a colorful life!
They all have a bright future!
This script vividly satirized human nature and the ugly country. Wang Jing estimated that if he didn't win any awards, he would quit the entertainment industry.
