"You want to make a comedy again?"
Mo Xiangwan sat on Yue Guan and looked at Yue Guan as if he were looking at a god.
It was already a day later.
Even though Mo Xiangwan felt that he already knew the details of Yue Guan, he still couldn't help but sigh: "Yue Guan, why are you so energetic? Don't you need to rest?"
"Aren't I just resting now?"
Yue Guan still likes to be passive.
Mo Xiangwan: "...you make movies too fast, why do you want to make a comedy again?"
Yue Guan told Mo Xiangwan what happened between him and Xu Zheng.
It's not a big deal.
But it's fun.
An evil smile appeared on Yue Guan's lips: "Sister Xiang Wan, I have thought about it. When the time comes, I will let Director Bi be the director of "The Expansion Master"."
Mo Xiangwan: "... Just be a human being."
"Aren't you looking forward to it?"
Mo Xiangwan thought for a moment about how Director Bi would make a movie and scold all the great young literary directors, and then said honestly: "I'm looking forward to it."
Mainly because it's so sarcastic.
"So in order to fulfill this expectation, I want to make a comedy film to kill Xu Zheng's second embarrassing series."
"The difficulty is not low. The success of "囧囧" helped him gain a lot of popularity."
"There is definitely some difficulty, but it's not that big." Yue Guan was very calm: "Xu Zheng's second movie in the "囧" series didn't try to be funny. Comedy movies that can beat him can be remembered even with my eyes closed. Two or three.”
He was reading a novel called "I'm Just an Actor" before, and someone actually commented that there was no comedy in China that wanted to crush "囧" unless Zhou Xingchi was moved out. If you want to crush Hong Kong, you have to watch foreign comedies.
There was actually someone down there who was singing along with him...
Authors who disagree with this view are labeled as bloated.
I have to say that Yue Guan laughed at it. If "囧" had such remarks as half funny, it would probably surpass "Feng Shen" at the box office.
Seeing this kind of remarks, Yue Guan wanted to apologize to Shangguan Xingfeng. He felt that Xingfeng was not that special at all.
Back to business.
"What I'm thinking about now is, should I shoot it myself or act it myself?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I have a very interesting script in my hand. It should be very funny when filmed, but I can't act well." Yue Guan felt a little regretful.
He was talking about "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
Whether it's box office or word-of-mouth, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" crushes "囧".
So the statement that there is no comedy movie in China that can beat "囧"... is a very funny joke.
After "囧" is released, this gag can be included in future comedy movies.
However, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is not very suitable for Yueguan.
It's not that Yue Guan doesn't like the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it's mainly that Yue Guan's temperament and image are not suitable for playing the 24K pure and unscrupulous character Wang Duoyu.
Sometimes you have to admit that every actor has his or her own unsuitable roles. No one is the real actor with a thousand faces. It would be good to be able to play most roles.
Yue Guan is an actor with high plasticity.
Emperor, Phoenix Man, Sunshine Boy, Villain, Hero... Yue Guan can play these roles, and he plays them all well.
But Yue Guan is very difficult to play as a pure Diao Si.
Even if he can perform, the audience will not be able to get into the show.
Because the image that Yueguan is not short of money is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Ask him to play Diao Si, and the audience won't believe it.
So, there is no need to force it.
Yue Guan showed the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" to Mo Xiangwan.
After reading the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Mo Xiangwan once again refreshed his understanding of Yue Guan.
"You can even write comedy?"
"This is actually not uncommon. There are many novels about Shenhao-ryu on the Five-Star Chinese website."
The plot of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is actually very funny. Of course, there are many flaws, especially the football part and the heroine in Baocheng.
Seriously speaking, this drama is actually Shen Teng's one-man show, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was all supported by Shen Teng and the script.
Among them, Shen Teng is more important than the script.
If this script were performed by someone else, even if it were Xu Zheng, it would be difficult to achieve the comedy effect of Shen Teng.
The script of Yue Guan's "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has been slightly adapted, adding some plot points from the online literary genre. It doesn't add much in terms of comedy, but it is definitely more enjoyable.
It doesn’t diminish the humor of the original script.
Mo Xiangwan read the entire script, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Wang Duoyu's character setting is indeed not suitable for you. If you want to challenge various types of dramas, you must choose one that suits your image and temperament. Yue Guan, Just stop acting in "The Richest Man in Xihong City"."
"I didn't prepare to act in the first place. I can't play many good roles, so I won't force myself."
Yue Guan has always maintained his rationality.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given Xu Zheng the leading role in "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
The role is a good role. If you can't play it, you can't play it. There's no need to force it.
Just play the role that suits you.
Yue Guan's image and temperament make it difficult for him to play a lowly character like Wang Duoyu. Even if he can do it, the audience can't. This is just like Northeastern King and Xiao Shenyang appearing in "The Grandmaster" to play martial arts masters. Even if their performances are not bad, the audience wants to laugh when they see them. This is a casting failure.
Yue Guan is not obsessed with this.
So he didn't think about his acting.
"Sister Xiang Wan, what do you think if I film this story?"
Mo Xiangwan understood what Yue Guan meant and was not very surprised: "You want to be a director?"
"My main job is still an actor. This will not change. Anyway, my status has reached the level now. Directors and actors are not important to my status improvement." Yue Guan is not rushing to improve his status in the industry. : "I just think this story is very simple and not difficult to shoot. It has three hundred and sixty lines, and the director can do it. This kind of simple and easy-to-learn comedy story with no depth is the most suitable for new directors. It is always better to learn one more technique. It’s not a bad thing. If we can’t find a suitable director for our company’s dramas in the future, I can still act in them myself.”
It is much easier for actors to become directors than for others, because if they are willing, they can actually learn a lot on the set.
And Yue Guan is basically a producer in name every time he shoots a movie, and he often hangs out with the director.
His theoretical foundation is already 80% of the level of Bi Dao.
As for the practical level...
Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, Chen Sicheng... are all actors turned directors. The story Yue Guan wants to shoot is simpler, he has more previous experience, and has more resources to mobilize.
Let Yue Guan do the filming. Not to mention how good the filming of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will be, at least it will not be worse than the original version. Yue Guan is still confident.
Isn’t it just to be a director? Who wouldn’t
If Bi Dao can be a director, Yue Guan feels that there must be nothing wrong with him.
