Today's Shen Mu is known as the "Big Devil" on the Internet, and those who have offended him don't seem to have a good ending.
Wu Tianci is a promising Mesozoic director, and he does not want to follow in the footsteps of Sun Beitao.
He is obviously a director of Taishan and Beidou level, but he wants to provoke Shen Mu and ends up in jail.
He had every reason to believe that if he dared to say something weird about being a "scumbag" again, maybe Shen Mu would really make a fuss out of a molehill and do something detrimental to him.
"Mr. Xu, have you considered the proposal I just made?"
Since he couldn't do anything to Shen Mu, Wu Tianci could only change the topic, which made Shen Mu and Ye Lan feel moved and a little curious.
"I have to say that Director Wu's script is indeed quite attractive!"
Xu Maoshan pointed his finger at a stack of paper on the table. He first affirmed, and then said, "It's just that my reputation in the film industry is not very good now. Does Director Wu dare to use me?"
When Xu Maoshan said this, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, making it difficult to tell whether he really cared about this matter.
But both Shen Mu and Ye Lan had some suspicions in their minds. Any director and starring actor would probably not care less when encountering such a thing. It was a movie that he had worked hard to make.
Now that Xu Maoshan has lost his lawsuit, the copyrights of those "囧" series have nothing to do with him.
What exactly happened during this process may only be known to him.
"Mr. Xu is overly worried. When Wu is filming, he only cares about his acting skills. As for other things, he can only lean back!"
Wu Tianci did not hesitate much, and he also knew that Xu Maoshan in front of him would definitely like to hear such words.
There is a character in his new movie who really fits Xu Maoshan very well.
"I don't agree with what Director Wu said!"
At this moment, Shen Mu next to him suddenly retorted, causing Wu Tianci's face to darken instantly.
This guy is so rude.
"I think the first thing a director should look for when looking for an actor is character!"
Shen Mu ignored Wu Tianci's angry glare and listened to him talk: "As for acting skills, you can work hard to hone them the day after tomorrow, but if your character is not good, then don't mention it!"
It cannot be said that Shen Mu's words are wrong, but in today's Dragon Kingdom entertainment industry, few directors or producers have such an awareness. Traffic is king in everything.
Some traffic stars who have not been trained through formal channels, because they have become famous too quickly, many of them are extremely arrogant and their character is worrying.
But capital is all about this. As long as there is traffic and fans, even if what you shoot is a piece of shit, there will still be idiot fans paying for it, allowing them to make a lot of money.
As for the future when these traffic stars are revealed to have bad character, or have two things, what does it have to do with capital? Anyway, they have already made money.
So although what Shen Mu said at the moment was right, in today's entertainment industry, it would be ridiculed by people. For example, this is what Wu Tianci thought in his heart.
But thinking about it in my heart, this kind of thing cannot be stated openly.
Compared to Shen Mu's awe-inspiring righteousness, those so-called unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are things that cannot be brought to light.
This is a bit like laughing at the poor but not at prostitution.
With the current atmosphere in the entertainment industry, very few directors would talk about the idea of putting character first like Shen Mu does. That is unrealistic.
"Mr. Xu, do you think I am right?"
Shen Mu ignored Wu Tianci, who looked a bit ugly, but turned his attention to Xu Maoshan, and even asked a question, which made Wu Tianci's eyes light up.
Perhaps in Wu Tianci's mind, Xu Maoshan's character was actually not very good, otherwise he would not have lost the lawsuit and got nothing in the end.
When you, Shen Mu, mention your character in front of such a person, isn't that meant to be sarcastic?
In Wu Tianci's view, when Shen Mu said these words and asked Xu Maoshan a question intentionally, the latter would probably burst into anger instantly, so there is no need for you to continue talking.
This is obviously exposing Xu Maoshan's sore spot. You, Shen Mu, just don't open and pick up which pot. Doesn't this make it difficult for everyone to have breakfast?
Therefore, Wu Tianci automatically entered the state of watching the show. He just wanted to see how Shen Mu, a guy who spoke unscrupulously, angered Xu Maoshan?
This guy's emotional intelligence is really low.
"Director Shen is right. The most important thing in acting is character. If character is not good, then forget about everything else!"
However, under Wu Tianci's expectant eyes, these words came out of Xu Maoshan's mouth, leaving him stunned and unable to recover for a moment.
It was obviously you, Xu Maoshan, who lost the lawsuit. Why did you still agree with Shen Mu when he brought up the issue of character?
Don't you have any sense of shame?
Hearing Xu Maoshan's words, Shen Mu was slightly relieved and secretly thought that his ability to judge people was getting better day by day.
This may be the subtle change in Shen Mu after having the system.
Anyway, now he only needs to look at someone to know what kind of person they are.
Or maybe Shen Mu and Xu Maoshan had similar experiences, which made him subconsciously feel that there must be something fishy that outsiders didn't know about in that so-called lawsuit.
Xu Maoshan should have been tricked by the producer, and the trap was planted early. The classic film he worked so hard to produce ended up with nothing.
From this point of view, this is not a problem with Xu Maoshan's own character, but rather that the character of some people in the producer is very bad.
This is undoubtedly the biggest thorn in Xu Maoshan's heart. Presumably, the partners he will cooperate with in the future will definitely have to choose from thousands of people, at least based on their character first.
But at this time, Wu Tianci also said that acting is the first and nothing else is important. This actually made the thorn in Xu Maoshan's heart pierce deeper.
Shen Mu looked at his face, and what he said spoke to Xu Maoshan's heart.
The different performances of these two also made the balance in his heart subconsciously tilt towards one side.
"Haha, this character... must be very important too!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Tianci forced out an extremely embarrassed smile on his face. This change of attitude was so abrupt that Shen Mu and Ye Lan couldn't help but smile at each other.
It was obvious that Wu Tianci also realized that what he just said did not hit the point, and he wanted to make up for it at this time.
But such a blunt change is undoubtedly a bit superfluous.
"Mr. Xu, why don't you read the script again?"
Wu Tianci no longer mentioned the character issue, but pointed to the script in front of Xu Maoshan. He was quite confident in his team's screenwriting ability.
"What a coincidence. I also have a script here and would like to ask Mr. Xu to take a look!"
Just when Wu Tianci finished speaking, Shen Mu suddenly took out a stack of documents from his bag and handed them to Xu Maoshan, and they happened to be covered with Wu Tianci's script.
Seeing this, Wu Tianci became extremely angry.
This little director is so rude. Do you really think that just by making a TV series, you can be so arrogant?
In fact, Xu Maoshan has already read Wu Tianci's script just now. To be honest, he is very moved. This feeling is similar to the original Jiang Shang Yanxiang.
If there is no better script, maybe Xu Maoshan will agree to Wu Tianci's invitation after considering it.
After all, his reputation in the film industry is not very good now, just because of the lawsuit he lost.
Firstly, Wu Tianci has great influence in the film industry, and secondly, the script is indeed wonderful.
At least in the opinion of Xu Maoshan, who has been a director and starring actor, as long as it can be filmed, it will definitely become a masterpiece.
This can be regarded as an opportunity for Xu Maoshan to fight a turnaround.
In today's film industry, there are very few people who dare to cast him as a protagonist without worrying about the capital of the producer who had previously filed a lawsuit with him.
Or from a certain perspective, Wu Tianci took a fancy to Xu Maoshan’s dark and red nature and wanted to gain a wave of traffic.
Now Xu Maoshan has both acting skills and traffic. Although the traffic is black and red, after the movie is made, many people may be interested. This is Wu Tianci's real purpose.
Relatively speaking, in Xu Maoshan's heart, Shen Mu, a young director, is definitely not as important as Wu Tianci.
Shen Mu had all the plans, but he only made one movie and one TV series.
Xu Maoshan is not a young actor who is just starting out. He is an experienced actor who has been working in this industry for many years, and he was once a director himself.
Although the words Shen Mu just said made Xu Maoshan feel like he had met a confidant, he knew clearly that if he wanted to turn around, his excellent works would speak for him.
Xu Maoshan is now disheartened about being a director.
Therefore, he wants to transform into a full-time actor and rely on his superb acting skills to regain what belongs to him.
Furthermore, Xu Maoshan also knew that Shen Mu had offended Mrs. Wang, the chairman of Wantai Entertainment, in the film industry, and he was afraid that his path in the film industry would be very difficult.
Given his current situation, cooperating with Shen Mu to make a movie will undoubtedly be a difficult situation, and it can even be said to be even more difficult.
And if the script Shen Mu gave was a TV series, it was not what Xu Maoshan wanted.
His ideal is still in the film industry, and he wants to get up from where he fell.
Therefore, after reading Wu Tianci's script, Xu Maoshan actually already had a choice in his mind.
From any point of view, working with Wu Tianci is more promising than working with Shen Mu.
However, Xu Maoshan is a very polite person. Even though he had preconceived ideas, he did not directly reject Shen Mu. Instead, he subconsciously opened the first page of Shen Mu's script.
"Huh?"
When Xu Maoshan just saw the beginning of the script, his expression changed a little. He was directly attracted by the content of the script and couldn't help but want to continue reading.
