Chapter 364: Liang Kun, I Played
Shen Lang took the script and read it carefully.

The script of "A Chinese Odyssey" is the thinnest script Shen Lang has ever received.

In fact, the story structure of Young and Dangerous is very simple.

It's nothing more than some conflicts within the gang.

What really attracts the audience is the brotherhood shown by the actors and the passionate plot.

It's a bit like the spoof version of "Hot Blood School".

It's fine for killing time, but you can't say it has any artistic value.

This is also the reason why Gu Jialan didn't want him to star in this movie.

But movies are just like skits at evening parties.

Everybody just wants to relax. If you always try to include some profound educational meaning in it, it will be really boring!
What story does "A Chinese Odyssey" tell?

Chen Haonan, Shan Ji, Chao Pi and others have been good friends since childhood. Because they were not interested in studying, they later followed Big Brother B to join a society and venture into the world.

Because in a vendetta, they killed the gangster boss Ba Bi, and ended up having a deep hatred with Liang Kun.

Liang Kun tried to harm Chen Haonan and killed the entire family of Chen Haonan's good brother, Big Brother B. The shop run by Chen Haonan was also burned down.

Faced with the relentless pressure from Liang Kun, Chen Haonan, together with his brothers, devised a plan to kill Liang Kun, and eventually became the leader of Causeway Bay.

Simple right?

too easy.

But the simpler the plot, the more it tests the actors' abilities.

It was Liu Weiqiang's first time as a director, and he was facing Shen Lang, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Seeing that Shen Lang had been reading the script for such a long time without saying anything, he thought that the script he adapted was too rubbish.

Just when he was at a loss, Shen Lang closed the script and said, "The script is good, there is nothing to change!"

After hearing these words, Liu Weiqiang and Xu Ke were both stunned.

In Xu Ke's opinion, Liu Weiqiang's film has no connotation at all. It is just about the fighting and killing in the underworld. It is too thin to use brotherhood to support a film.

In his opinion, movies are about settling scores, fighting with swords, and helping the weak.

Going shirtless and slashing people with a knife is not a decent thing to do no matter how you look at it.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Xu Ke's knowledge.

Let me ask a question here. For the same gang theme, why doesn’t “The Godfather” teach bad people, while “Young and Dangerous” in another time and space “teaches bad” so many young people?

Because it is very easy to do if you hold a machete and chop people without saying a word.

People like the Godfather and Zhou Chaoxian, who are mixed in the upper class, do not have the conditions to learn from them.

But would you really go astray because of a movie like Young and Dangerous?

There may be some who are not clear-headed, but most of them are still wielding swords and guns, forming the Viper Gang and the Green Dragon Gang, and then shaving their long hair and returning to society.

In fact, the theme of the movie "Young and Dangerous" is not fighting and killing, but brotherhood, which is a dream of adolescent boys and even men.

The most typical one is Shan Ji, who keeps making dirty jokes and wants to sleep with women every day regardless of the occasion, time or place.

So the question is, why is pheasant so popular?
In fact, Shen Lang likes the movie "Young and Dangerous" not because of its story, but because of its character.

The characters here are so good, especially the villains.

But if you let me read the script and don't let me play the villain, I, Shen Lang, will be the first one to disagree.

Since you don't want to tell me, don't blame me for telling you directly: "Director Liu, have you chosen the actors for this drama?" "Yes, yes, the leading actors are Zheng Yijian and Chen Xiaochun..."

Before Liu Weiqiang could finish his words, his leg was hit by Xu Ke's leg.

Liu Weiqiang suddenly came to his senses and said happily: "Teacher Shen is interested in the role of Chen Haonan? As long as you want, we haven't signed the actor contract anyway!"

Xu Ke laughed and said, "Then quickly turn it down. Little gangster, the big brother of the Black Society, Teacher Shen is the most experienced. He can play a role with Zhou Chaoxian's aura, so how can he be familiar with a little playboy like Chen Haonan?"

"Ahem, everyone, I want to ask, is there anyone else who can play the role of Liang Kun?"

Liu Weiqiang was stunned!
Xu Ke was stunned!

Gu Jialan was so angry that he almost exploded.

The role of Chen Haonan is already a small role, do you want to play Liang Kun?

That is the most colorful of all colorful things, the most beautiful of all colorful things.

Xu Ke looked at Shen Lang with a strange expression. Damn, it was rumored that Mr. Shen liked to challenge perverted characters, and the more perverted and badder they were, the more he liked them.

"What kind of abnormal psychology is this?"

"I can't satisfy my desire to commit crimes in the real world, so I make a movie to fulfill my dream?"

But no matter what, this guy's villain performance doesn't look fake. The villains played by him can only be described in two words... [realistic]!
Liu Weiqiang said happily: "If it is Teacher Shen who comes out in person, I would be more than happy to do so!"

"Teacher Shen, you don't know that before this, I had thought of asking you to play the role of Liang Kun, but..."

Liu Weiqiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But I think with your current status, playing such a role is a bit... a bit..."

"It's a bit of a self-debasement, so I..."

I knew you would say that!

Shen Lang immediately put on a righteous expression and said, "Director Liu, I think if you have this idea, you will definitely not be able to shoot Young and Dangerous well!"

"This……"

Shen Lang said: "There are no bad roles, only bad actors."

"There is no distinction between high and low roles. Being able to play a character like Liang Kun who is evil to the bone can further prove my ability as an actor."

"Similarly, there is no distinction between high and low scripts!"

"If you feel that your script is not up to par from the beginning of filming, how can you possibly produce a good film?"

Awesome, this sentence was a wake-up call for Liu Weiqiang!
"Teacher Shen, as a new director, I need a film mentor like you to give me advice every day. Please come to the crew to guide me!"

"Ok!"

Gu Jialan almost couldn't help laughing when she saw Shen Lang like that. He looked so serious just to scare people who weren't familiar with him. In front of her...

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to Donkey for detecting a job opportunity!"

"The Young and Dangerous series is an indelible memory of youth for a generation! The villains in the movies are still well-known to people decades later!"

"This villain, Liang Kun, is greedy for money, sinister and vicious. Even among the young and dangerous series, he ranks in the top three!"

"If you perform well, you will have a chance to draw gold or higher attribute items!"

"Remember, the Young and Dangerous series is very important. It is one of the classic collections of the Dark Donkey Collection!"

"After lighting up all the classic series, there will be unexpected rewards, the kind that men like!"
