I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 129: Finding Connections (33)

Ming Detective is quite interesting...

Shen Liang didn't want to join, and he couldn't join either - they were basically entry-level five-person games, and there were already enough regular guests, so who could he replace?

For him, variety shows are just a way to gain exposure.

After the recording, Mr. He invited everyone to dinner as usual...

"You still want to go back to filming?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Well, it will probably take another twenty days to shoot!"

He Jiong nodded and then asked, "Singer, have you tried it?"

"I've tried it, and Mr. Hong said I can join!"

“…Wow, was that stressful?”

"there must be…"

It must be stressful for singers to appear on "Singer"!

After all, it is a competition. Many singers who participated said on the surface that "what is important is not the result but the process. The show brought by each singer with his heart is undoubtedly a musical feast." But if you lose, it is really embarrassing!
The most typical example is Wei Wei. According to the script design before the show started and the order of appearance after the show started, she was originally planned to be the king of singers...

The song "Love Search" clearly told the audience about her own decline, which was far from the Wei Wei that people once had in their minds.

The song was bombarded with criticism during the broadcast by music critics led by Erdi for its severe hoarseness, and its reputation plummeted.

Before coming here, I was covered in the glow of the sunset, but after coming here, the filter was shattered. I wouldn’t say that the good impression has completely disappeared, but most of it has dissipated!

In addition, there is Zhang Jingying, who was a talented singer before participating in the show, and one of the top Chinese female singers in mainland China... But after participating in the show, she was a mess, which made everyone lower her singing rating...

However, Shen Liang should be okay. After all, in the public's... No, it should be that in the fans' perception, he is not considered a singing star.

Being on "Singer" can increase my popularity and prove myself...

The premise is, don’t be eliminated!
“I will try not to be eliminated!”

Sa Beining asked from the side: "...Aren't you going to fight for the championship?"

"I... I deserve to win the championship? I participated in two talent shows and didn't win the championship... I participated in "Singer" and won the championship? Teacher Sa, you underestimate Chinese singers!"

……

"I Am a Singer" was renamed "Singer", and Shen Liang will participate in the second season, called "Singer 2018".

First release singers: Wang Banbi, Jessie J, Li Shengjie, Zhang Zhaohan, GAI, Zhang Tian, ​​Li Xiaodong!

With this lineup, Shen Liang wants to win the championship?
Basically impossible!

However, there is still confidence that they will not be eliminated. After all, GAI will definitely withdraw from the competition - Li Xiaolu is about to stage the Ping Xi Wang incident!
The first episode of "Singer" will not be recorded until next month, so there is no rush...

When he returned to Shanghai, his agent Ma Hao was already waiting for him. He also brought him a video about ancient etiquette, mainly about the Song Dynasty...

"An explanation of the etiquette of the Song Dynasty... the way ancient people walked, sat and lay down was different from modern people. Since you are acting in ancient costumes, you have to pay attention to this aspect!"

"…Has the cast of "Do You Know?"

"Well, I heard that the actors have already started collective training..."

Shen Liang asked curiously: "If I don't go, will it be..."

"Neither the hero or heroine is here..."

“Yeah, they’re so busy…”

Shen Liang replied casually, and then began to watch the video seriously...

The original novel of "Knowing Your Destiny" is set in a fictional dynasty, somewhat close to the Ming Dynasty, but the adapted script takes place in the Song Dynasty, with Bianliang as its capital. The officials' surname is Zhao, and all the ambitious men are discussing how to recover the border and take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

After all, as a regime in the Central Plains, it would not look good to record this fact if it never touched the Great Wall from beginning to end!
——Since the establishment of the capital of the State of Yan during the Warring States Period, Yanjing has been an important city in the north for more than 2,000 years. The Song Dynasty had no relationship with this city from beginning to end, except for a brief period of control for a few days when it allied with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty...

People of insight must be deeply ashamed!
Of course, this can only be the Northern Song Dynasty, to put it simply, the Northern Song Dynasty before 1126... Because in 1126, also known as the first year of the Jing Kang period, the Jin people rode south on horseback, marched straight in, captured the Northern Song Dynasty capital Bianliang, and captured the two emperors Song Huizong and Song Qinzong.

The following year, Zhao Gou fled to the south of the Yangtze River and ascended the throne in Lin'an, which is known in history as the Southern Song Dynasty.

From then on, the Great Song Dynasty completely turned into the Failed Song Dynasty... and became a local regime in a corner, coexisting with the Liao and Western Xia!
The etiquette of the Song Dynasty was very complicated, including etiquette for meeting, sitting, sitting together, walking, etc.

Ma Hao continued: "When an actor is acting, the character is paramount. Their demeanor, tone of voice, skills, state of mind, bearing, and body shape all need to be coordinated..."

Shen Liang was a little confused when listening to Ma Hao's words: "When did you start studying acting? Aren't you a variety show director?"

"I learned it. If I don't know these, how can I talk to you? If I talk nonsense, will you listen?"

Shen Liang touched his nose: "...I have always been very obedient!"

"You only listen to what you want to hear..." Ma Hao shook his head: "Don't I know you yet?"

“…But I also worked very hard…You can ask the director of “Time Travel Together” how I performed!”

"I asked," Ma Hao smiled, "and they all said your performance is irreplaceable."

Shen Liang immediately realized something was wrong: "Performance? Not performance?"

"Yeah, they're talking about performance..."

"It seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement in acting..."

"You've only acted in one play. Even if you're a genius, you still have to go through an adaptation process!"

"…I always feel like you're hiding something from me…"

“Ahem,” Ma Hao was a little embarrassed, but he still told the truth: “We were unable to help you get the two dramas you mentioned, “Ashes of Love” and “Sand Sea”…”

"…It's okay," Shen Liang waved his hand: "Anyway, I have a lot of work on my hands now."

"But our company is going to make a puppet show..."

“I’m competing for a show…”

"Oh? What drama?"

"Didn't I tell you? It's Celebrating Life!"

Ma Hao shook his head: "There are too many competitors for this project, including some of the top stars... You don't have any advantage!"

Shen Liang said seriously, "I've asked my mother to pass my opinion of Joy of Life, including the male lead Fan Xian, to Mr. Cao Huayi through Aunt Gai Lili... Mr. Cao took a look and felt that it coincided with his opinion, but it still needs to pass the director's test... You just need to help me get the producer!"

"How could you get in touch with New Classics Media directly?"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "...I don't know him either, but my mother knows him..."

“Then…” Ma Hao hesitated for a moment, then said: “The producer… is also a bit difficult, after all, you don’t have any works…”

"As long as they don't object..."

"Okay," Ma Hao nodded: "I can guarantee this... Do you know the director?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "I don't know him, but I know who knows him!"

"Who? Your mother?"

"…My mother isn't in the TV industry…Director Xu Zheng knows her…"

"Xu Zheng..." Ma Hao glanced at Shen Liang: "Did you think of this when you took on the role in "Time Travel Together"?"

“…I haven’t thought about it that much…” Shen Liang didn’t want to answer this question, but instead talked about the biggest obstacle of “Celebrating Yu Nian”: “I am sure that there is only one actor who can compete with me now!”

"Who?"

"Zhang Ruoyun..."
