Chapter 502: Can You Act?

"There is no shortage of scripts, but there is a lack of different scripts!"

Liang Ren's leisurely words, Sun Peng immediately understood the meaning.

In the past few years, in addition to the literary films that Liang Ren himself has selected to star, it seems that every time a producer comes to him, the scripts he gets are famous figures in history - either military generals, or ministers, either tragic or majestic, in short, they are all kind of tall heroes.

To put it simply, Liang Ren was given a type by the producers.

But as an actor with a brain and an economic team, Liang Ren is now sensitive to the decline of this epic masterpiece model, and also understands that if he continues to go like this, he will hang himself from a tree in the future......

It is time to make a new attempt.

Seeing Sun Peng's thoughtful look, Liang Ren had a count in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "So when I met Mr. Lao Bai this time, I also wanted to meet the legendary top screenwriter, and secondly, I also wanted to consult, what do you think I will do in a modern action movie...... Is there a future? ”

"Modern action movies? The kind of "Hurricane Rescue"? ”

"Well, almost!"

In just two sentences of dialogue, Sun Peng suddenly realized.

It seems that Liang Ren's desire to switch to other types of movies may have been up for a long time. It's just that in recent years, he has almost always been in historical productions, occasionally starring in some literary films, where can he go if he transforms rashly?

There is no doubt that it is impossible for him to give up commercial films!

Of course, if he switches to other types of commercial films, can Liang Ren still maintain his current salary?

In terms of Liang Ren's past qualifications and achievements, he is used to getting more than 100 million yuan in remuneration and dividends for a movie, but if China's historical blockbusters really start to decline, is there still a producer willing to give him so much money? If the producer of that film this year is losing money only from the box office, even if other peripheral income is added - with the current proportion of income in the Chinese film industry, at most it is just capital preservation.

Maybe Liang Ren can continue to earn in the next part, but what if he loses again?

"Tsk, smart man!"

Looking at Liang Ren with a calm face, Sun Peng couldn't help but secretly admire. Whether these are Liang Ren's own ideas or his team's thoughts, they are undoubtedly very wise and far-sighted.

Merely......

Shaking his head, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Brother Liang, a top screenwriter or something, must be a false praise, and there is no way to talk about legends or anything, in fact, I just wrote two movie scripts and a few online dramas......"

Sun Peng's attitude was very modest, but Liang Ren raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled: "Really? Is that all? And what about "The Identity of Bourne" by Lotus Business? You just finished the late "Dragon Gate Inn"? What about "Spirited Away's Hide" produced by Japan's Kelly Society and Konan? And what about "Frozen" in the United States? Mr. Sun, I really sincerely want to ask for advice today, and I hope to give me advice! ”

Tsk, it's really a big guy!

Sun Peng's words were just a little modest, and they threw out a series of movie names that were still in production, and the meaning was self-evident.

After hearing these words, Sun Peng smiled again.

No surprises.

There is no intention to cover up these news, and anyone who cares can know it if they know a little, and Liang Ren is certainly no exception.

It's just that Sun Peng was already immune to these words, he smiled and then shook his head and said, "Brother Liang, I understand what you mean, but ...... I'm putting it bluntly, don't be surprised! ”

"Of course, of course, you just say it!"

Waving his hand, Liang Ren also said seriously.

If it was just those two movies in the summer, plus a spy movie from Lotus Pictures that had not yet been released, Liang Ren might not have paid so much attention to this old white. But when he learned that "Spirited Away's Hidden Spirit" was a collaboration with the famous Kelly News Agency and Gwangnan Productions, the cost alone exceeded 3 billion yen, and the investment in "Frozen" was at least 150 million US dollars, then everything was different.

Even if it's all cartoons, the investment says it all.

Needless to say, the investment in "Frozen" is only 200 million Chinese coins when converted into 3 billion yen, but it can be regarded as a big investment in Japan, a big animation country, if the script is not good, Kelly Society and Guangnan Production are willing to do it? With these two, plus three spy films invested by the three major studios, and the box office results of the first two......

Otherwise, ordinary screenwriters can make Liang Ren "condescend" to the script?

It's just that under Liang Ren's expectant gaze, the words that came out of Sun Peng's mouth were not so good: "Brother Liang, if other big stars came to me, I would definitely refuse directly, because I am generally not interested in tailoring scripts for others, but I am still willing to you." ”

Sun Peng has always admired people who can promote Chinese films to the world, so he is happy to cooperate with them when he has the opportunity. After shaking his head slightly, he smiled bitterly: "But ......"

"But what?"

With a slight frown, Liang Ren asked a little nervously.

"But...... Your age is the biggest problem! ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Sun Peng said, "To be honest, you will be fifty years old next year, right?" At this age, if you want to act in a modern action movie...... Can it really be? ”

Can a fifty-year-old really be impressed?

Don't compare Jackie Chan, another big brother on the earth, first of all, the family itself has practiced martial arts since childhood and has a foundation; Secondly, his peak moment is definitely not after the age of fifty, which is known by looking at the action design; In the end, the eldest brother has taken the action movie route all his life, and Liang Ren has really filmed it in his life?

You must know that the script that Sun Peng is willing to come up with will definitely not be an ordinary action movie!

There are a lot of fight scenes in it, or all kinds of difficult actions that need to be completed by the leading actors, can a big star like Liang Ren really do it?

As soon as he said this, the air in the box suddenly cooled.

Age is an absolutely taboo topic for many people, such as politicians in top positions, and most women and big stars like Liang Ren. If they could, they would even like to be able to hide their real age forever, so that the audience can only see their "fake age" on the big screen!

In movies and TV series, girls in their thirties play girls in their early twenties, and those in their forties and fifties are in their thirties!

So after listening to Sun Peng's words, Liang Ren's face became gloomy, and the assistant next to him was also a little uncontrollable: "Teacher Bai, what you said is a bit too much, right?" Our teacher Liang usually has to exercise for at least an hour almost every day, and his body will not be worse than yours! ”

"Huh, huh?"

Smiling slightly, Sun Peng looked at the assistant and said indifferently: "I believe this, but now I'm talking about action movies...... If you want to jump up and down and fight with people, are you sure that Mr. Liang can act? ”

"That'...... Isn't it okay to use a stand-in? ”

Biting his lip, the assistant asked a little unconvinced.

“……”

Glancing at the assistant again, Sun Peng was really too lazy to refute the other party.

Not to mention an old movie star who is almost fifty years old, even if Liang Ren is almost sixty, Sun Peng can write seven or eight action movie scripts for him casually. After all, just counting Arnold, Stein, and Jackie Chan How many movies have they starred in after the age of fifty?

But......

With a stand-in?

An action star stars star star in most of their action shots with stand-ins? This kind of person Sun Peng would be willing to write a script for him?

Funny?

And for Sun Peng, if Liang Ren is a real veteran action superstar, he can indeed help, after all, this person has really made a great contribution to the world of Chinese films, but this does not mean that he is willing to give him a classic script - he really doesn't want the classics from the earth to be ruined at will.

So after just casually glancing at Liang Ren's assistant, Sun Peng quickly looked at the big star himself, and said lightly: "Brother Liang, what I admire most in the film industry are you, Director Chen, and Director Liu, who are the first filmmakers to go overseas, so I also hope to have the opportunity to cooperate." I have scripts for modern action movies, and they are all wonderful scripts, but these scripts can only be given to those who can really play them well......"
