Shagen confirms he will not participate in the performance of "Shagen Goes to City" - Wulin Blog Network

A film "No Thieves in the World" has made Wang Baqiang, who played the role of "Shagen", walk on a broad road to stardom. The other day, a Hangzhou based film and TV company disclosed to the media that Wang Baqiang would possibly cooperate again with "Shagen". This company had invited Wang Baqiang to play the leading male role in its TV series "Shagen Enters the City". In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Jingjing, the agent of Wang Baqiang, revealed to the reporter that due to dissatisfaction with the synopsis of the script, which was not up to the standard of a "power actor", Wang Baqiang had decided not to participate in the performance of this TV series.

The investor of "Shagen Enters the City" once disclosed that this TV series planned to be filmed in 20 episodes. It told a story about a rural youth named "Shagen", whose fiancée "Maisi" since childhood had been admitted to a university. For love, "Shagen" came to the city where "Maisi" stayed to work as an odd-job man and supported her study with his meager salary. However, "Maisi" fell in love with a male classmate in the university, who was the son of a director.

In the end of the plot, "Maisi" left that male classmate and returned to "Shagen". After experiencing a series of storms, "Shagen" founded "Shagen Housekeeping" and walked out a road belonging to himself in the city.

Jingjing, the agent of Wang Baqiang, revealed that the investor of this TV series indeed contacted them in November last year, and specially rushed to Beijing to invite Wang Baqiang to act. But after reading the story outline and the revised script of this TV series, both Wang Baqiang and the agency company did not think it was ideal. Moreover, this character still positioned Wang Baqiang as a natural actor, without any breakthrough compared with the original image of "Shagen". This did not conform to the positioning of Wang Baqiang as a power actor by the agency company.

Besides, Wang Baqiang's schedule this year and his main energy would be placed on films. He was especially cautious about shooting TV series, unless there were particularly good scripts. At present, it could be confirmed that Wang Baqiang would not participate in this TV series. "They have released such news after such a long time. It is probably just for hyping up this drama."

As for the statement exposed by the investor of this drama that "Wang Baqiang's remuneration was 60 thousand yuan per episode", Jingjing refused to disclose Wang Baqiang's real value at present for reasons of commercial secrets, and only responded that "this figure was not accurate".
