Chapter 233 The crew stopped
When it comes to Shen Lang’s affairs, Gu Jialan always comes first.

When Shen Lang returned to the imperial capital, Gu Jialan had already found more than ten actors who fit the image.

In Jia Lan's studio.

After brothers Shen Lang and Shen Nan looked at the actors that Gu Jialan had found, Shen Nan pointed at three of them and said, "Boss Gu, only these three can stay, the others can leave!"

Shen Lang looked at the three people in front of him. He had to say that Shen Nan was a director after all, so he had a thorough grasp of the character image.

The three people in front of him had immature faces and evasive eyes. They were obviously young people who had just entered society. Their image really fits the character of Yuan Fengming in the play perfectly.

But Shen Lang sighed in his heart, Baoqiang, is there no Baoqiang in this era?
What a pity!

What should we do about "A World Without Thieves"?
Who will star in "Detective Chinatown"?

Who will be blamed for Rongrong's story?
……

The actors are basically in place, and Shen Nan's equipment and team are also ready.

It should be said that so far, everything has been going well.

Just when Shen Nan went out to look for a shooting location.

It was probably the actors who let the news slip, and soon, the news that Shen Lang was going to film "Blind Well" became widely known.

"Great! Teacher Shen is writing scripts again! The last one, "The Hidden Man", and the one before that, "Charlotte", were both great! I'm looking forward to Teacher Shen's new work!"

"Teacher Shen has an interesting soul. "Charlotte" made me laugh the whole time. "Insidious" made me smile knowingly when I thought of the stationmaster's golden sentences after the TV series was over! I just don't know what kind of comedy Teacher Shen's new film will be!"

"Well, after hearing what you said, I want to watch "Charlotte" ten times and "Insidious" three times!"

"'Blind Shaft'? Do you know what the subject is? What a good name... unique!"

……

Soon, part of what "Blind Well" was about was revealed by the actors who had already received the script.

"What? Exposing murders in coal mines? Just the cases in Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia a while ago?"

"Could it be a documentary about a major crime? I heard that Wang Shuangbao is one of the actors!"

"Fuck, Shen Lang, you are really wasting your time. You obviously have a talent for comedy, but you insist on filming such a serious subject! Are you challenging yourself? Can you satisfy all of us, the audience, before filming your serious subject?"

"By the way, instead of making comedies, you can make some short dramas like 'Mr. Lu, your vest...'. I really like watching them!"

"There's another ignorant girl upstairs who's been brainwashed by skit bombardment. Take her away, thank you!"

……

The news that Shen Lang wrote the script for "Blind Well" was widely discussed on the Internet.

Everyone was curious about what kind of story Shen Lang would write.

When Shen Lang and Shen Nan were making final preparations before filming in a small coal mine in Shanxi Province, many good friends called him to ask about the situation of "Blind Shaft".

Sun Honglei: "Teacher Shen, is there a lack of protagonists in the film? I can also play a major case. We Northeasterners are not short of that kind of ruthlessness!"

"It's okay to be a gangster! I'm even willing to show my face in your movie!"

Shen Lang said nothing and passed over a few pages of the script.

After reading it, Sun Honglei ran away without even making a phone call, leaving only a message: "Teacher Shen, I was wrong. I think I am ruthless, but I can't control the bad guys here!"

Haha! Honglei, I gave you a chance, but you are useless!

Zhang Yixin: "Teacher Shen, I heard that there is a young character in the drama you are filming recently? Do you think I can play this role? This silly and cute role is the most suitable for me."

Use the same operation to arrange the massage clip of Yuan Fengming for our translation.

Zhang Yixin was stunned after reading it. What was Teacher Shen going to do?
Isn't he a silly and cute character? Why does he have to go through so much?
Looking for a lady for a massage in a hair salon?

I am the only one left among my four sons who returned home. I cannot stand this!

I’m sorry, Teacher Shen, I packed up my bucket and ran away overnight!
Old acquaintance Sha Yuan: "Teacher Shen, ahem, long time no see. I heard recently that you are going to film a movie where all the characters are villains?"

"You know me too. I come from a villain background, so my image is absolutely spot on!"

Shen Lang called Wang Shuangbao.

"Shuangbao, come here, let me take a picture of you!" "What's wrong?"

"Makeup photo!"

“Oh, how do we shoot it?”

"Just stand there!"

After taking the photos, send them to Shayuan.

Five minutes later, Sha Yuan said in a hoarse voice, "Teacher Shen, this circle is too cruel. I am ready to stop being an actor. In this day and age, there is always someone worse than the worst. I was wrong. The film and television industry is not suitable for me!"

……

Funds are limited and we can’t delay even a single day.

We won’t have all the fancy opening ceremonies or anything like that, the main point is to save money.

On the first day, Shen Nan arranged for a group of actors to go down the well to experience life.

To be honest, Shen Lang felt that although his second brother was stingy, he was not as generous as the boss, a woman.

But when it comes to shooting, he is still very serious as a director.

"Everyone here, I believe that none of you have ever been down a mine!"

"Everyone has already read the script for our play."

"The main focus is on reality, and we must capture the sense of reality."

"So, all actors who need to go down the mine should go down and experience it today. Now we would like to ask the mine manager Liu to tell us about the precautions when going down the mine."

Mine Manager Liu is an old master in his forties. Although his title contains the word "Manager", he looks like an old miner in his 50s. Every wrinkle of his skin is black, and when he stretches out his hands, the gaps between his nails are also black.

"When operating underground, you must pay attention to safety. All miners are not allowed to take off their miners' hats until they leave the mine!"

Mine Manager Liu explained the safety details in great detail and repeatedly emphasized some areas that needed attention.

I saw that some actors and staff in the crew didn't take it seriously.

Mine Manager Liu said seriously, "Originally, people who are not staff members are not allowed to go down into the mine. Do you know why I gave you the green light?"

"Because the world underground is dark, hot and muggy, the tunnels are complicated and there is always the danger of landslides!"

“Maybe, after we go in, we’ll never be able to get out again.”

"This job is already very dangerous, but some cruel people are willing to use the lives of us poor miners to exchange for money..."

At this point, he choked up.

Everyone looked at Mine Manager Liu with some surprise.

Mine Manager Liu wiped his eyes and said, "After all, when the workers go down the mine, they may encounter meat patties sandwiched between rocks at any time, and finally be buried underground forever without seeing the sun!"

"Life is already difficult, I hope your movie can reduce the number of criminals!"

After Director Liu finished speaking, Shen Nan waved his hand and said, "Go down the mine!"

At this moment, the actor who played Yuan Fengming suddenly trembled and said, "I, I don't want to act anymore!"

"what?"

Everyone looked at the young man in surprise.

The young man looked at the dark mine and said, "It's too dangerous. I don't want to act anymore!"

The filming was already about to begin, but the lead actor said he didn't want to act anymore.

Shen Nan hurriedly comforted him, "Don't, haven't we already agreed on this? If it really doesn't work, I'll add some money!"

No matter how much we persuaded him, he refused to act even if we paid him more.

What the hell is this?
Okay, clothes off, poses ready, you say you can't do it?
OK! The crew is on hold...
