Any actor who has become famous, once he is pasted, it is difficult to accept the status quo.

Especially when people are middle-aged, their bodies and appearances have been out of shape, and they are far from the suave screen image in the audience's memory. Every time he appears in front of the public, it will cause everyone's long sigh and sigh, lamenting time and changes.

It's so hard to get back to the top!

Today's TV drama market is basically dominated by young people, even if it is a middle-aged TV series, Liang Hua can't compete with the rest.

He is unwilling to just play a supporting role, to play the painless roles of the hero's father, uncle, and boss.

When people reach middle age, male actors are afraid of being fat, and actresses are afraid of getting old.

The entertainment industry is so cruel.

Liang Hua stood in front of the mirror and sighed as he looked at his much rounded figure, the curvature of his chin was completely invisible, and the whole person seemed to be fat.

He learned from young people to open Weibo, but almost all of the comments were "Time is too cruel to you" and the like.

There are also people who released photos of Liang Hua who swept the country twenty years ago, and they can take pictures with filters in that era when there is no beauty, compared to the current fat uncle, the image gap is too big.

Midlife crisis is not only for professionals, but also in the entertainment industry!

Standing at the top of the entertainment industry, the powerful actors of the Mesozoic generation can take the lead in the blockbusters produced by the first line, and even direct and act themselves; slightly handsome middle-aged actors will be arranged to have some romances in the play and get extra scenes; like some unfamous uncles, they can only play supporting roles, and often even have no filming.

Middle-aged TV series may have a hit, but the probability is relatively low, and only audiences with a certain amount of experience can empathize.

Liang Hua had just returned from a bookstore to buy books, and found that no passers-by could identify him at all.

When I was red through half the sky, I was often followed by reporters, and I was the focus everywhere I went, and what I wanted most was distance, and I wanted to be able to take a breath.

If you can breathe freely, you can't have enough fame and money.

He returned to the living room and took out the copy of "Detective Di Renjie" in the shopping bag on the sofa.

Since so many viewers have recommended this book to themselves, there must be something outstanding in it, if it can really help you return to the audience's attention, then you don't have to open up the crew with an old face.

Liang Hua is a student who graduated from Zheng'er Bajing Acting School, and he likes to read books in addition to acting.

He basically didn't have any memory of the character of Di Renjie, and even knew that he was a famous minister in the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty.

Sitting on the sofa, making a pot of tea, and occasionally turning the pages to read back, Liang Hua was so engrossed that he didn't even react when his son came home.

"Dad, what are you watching?" Liang Xuanming, as the second generation of stars, basically continued his father's route, he was just admitted to the acting department of Star City Film Academy last year, and he was also on the hot search with his handsome face during the art examination.

Liang Hua raised his head, twisted his stiff neck, and replied, "I'm watching Qin Chuan's "Detective Di Renjie", and the role of Di Renjie in it just suits me very well. ”

Liang Xuanming suddenly came to his senses, and sat down with his ass, "Yes, I also think it is very suitable for you, this role is still a test of acting skills, you don't need to gain weight when you play Di Fat, and you also have an audience." ”

"You've seen it?"

"I've always been a fan of Qin Chuan, last year I also played a heavenly soldier in the movie "Erlang God Yang Jian", and that movie was also adapted from Qin Chuan!"

The advantage of studying in film school is that there are more opportunities to make cameo appearances in some blockbusters, and the school teachers lead the students to see what the real crew is like, let them know that it is not easy to play actors and extras, and also see how real actors and directors operate.

Liang Hua has always been a TV drama actor, and the terrifying influence of the mythological movie universe is naturally clear, but he didn't know that the upcoming "Erlang God Yang Jian" was also an adaptation of Qin Chuan.

He muttered to himself: "Then it seems that the copyright of "Detective Di Renjie" must be very expensive!"

"Needless to say... Mr. Qin earned more than 80 million yuan last year, but unfortunately we stipulated that I couldn't go out to film in my freshman and sophomore years, otherwise I would have to audition for "Zhu Xian", even if I can't play the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan, I can play an important supporting role. Liang Xuanming was particularly annoyed, it was a big drama of Oceanpower Media, and it was considered by the industry to be an important seed player for the annual ratings champion.

Originally, Liang Hua wanted to find investment by himself and buy the copyright cheaply to film, but when he heard the news, he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

The good thing is that Qin Chuan is very famous, which proves that the audience of the story is actually very high and the quality of the work is guaranteed.

The concern is that the royalties may be higher than imagined.

He didn't investigate Qin Chuan in advance at all, he just thought he was an ordinary author.

Now I also found out that everyone is already the quasi-son-in-law of Oceanpower Media!

"Then I won't disturb you reading, I'll go up and sleep first, I slept too late last night playing games. ”

After Liang Xuanming finished speaking, he ran to the second floor, leaving Liang Hua to sit on the sofa alone and ponder.

There are more than 200 pages, and I have only read more than 30 pages so far, but the whole story and the narrative rhythm make Liang Hua particularly excited, and if it is filmed as a TV series, it will definitely be very good-looking.

The role of Di Renjie in it is simply tailor-made for him, and it can't be more suitable!

The old fox, cunning, and the judgment of the case like a god... A range of adjectives can be thrown at the character, and it may even become a screen classic.

How many actors have never met this kind of role that can leave a name in film history in their lifetime.

Liang Hua is so lucky, when he was young, there were handsome images that have been circulating, and now people can still meet such characters who can accumulate audience popularity after they reach middle age.

He folded the page, and then dialed the phone number of his old buddy Qian Qiu, and a small plan came to mind.

Qian Qiu is a golden partner with him, and his popular chivalrous role that swept the world many years ago was filmed by this director.

It's a pity that after making enough money, Qian Qiu retired and went to play everywhere in the world.

Recently, it is estimated that the money has been almost spent before I want to return to the entertainment industry to direct, but the film and television companies do not dare to hand over the big production to this director who has not filmed for 20 years.

There is no position, but there is no job.

Those companies would rather give the director's position to the cameraman, to the screenwriter, to the writer to complete, than to trust an established director.

One is an actor who was eliminated to the edge of the market, the other is a director who was abandoned by a film and television company, and the two of them get together for the same film, and I don't know what sparks will collide.

"Hey, Director Qian, I'm Xiao Liang, there is a book called "Detective Di Renjie" that is very popular recently, have you read it......

In front of Qian Qiu, no matter how old Liang Hua is, he can only be Xiao Liang.
