I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 136 Daily Life (14)

I've heard before that when the male and female protagonists are in love, they will do it...

It should be true!
They are a couple in the crew.

This term refers to the fact that during the filming, the male and female actors are like a couple, having an intimate sexual life, but when the TV series or movie is finished, they will separate as if nothing happened...

how to say…

In fact, female celebrities are more proactive in this kind of thing.

They do not need to worry about material conditions. While pursuing freedom and comfort, they often seek more stimulating and unusual experiences in the spiritual aspect.

In the eyes of fans, this is called "freedom to love and dare to fall in love" and "choose your own lifestyle"!
It is obvious that Shen Liang has not experienced this aspect in his memory - he entered the industry relatively late and went straight to doing short plays.

The short dramas only take a week or so to shoot, and his genre is the kind of silly dramas that don’t require the actors to invest their emotions…

As for the previous film "The Wandering Earth"...

Haha, although there are female characters, the play lasts at least 12 hours a day, and he really doesn’t have the energy to think about these things...

After work every day, I just want to have a good sleep!
"Time Travel" is different...

This play is a modern play, and for him, the performance is not difficult, so he has the opportunity and the time...

The most important thing is that Tiantian took the initiative to invite me, so I should just cooperate...

But Shen Liang is not used to the feeling of being separated by a thick barrier...

……

"Which movie do you think has the highest box office?"

"It's not The Legend of the Demon Cat anyway!"

"So sure?"

"necessary!"

In the crew, Shen Liang talked with director Su Lun about the Lunar New Year movie…

Among so many movies, Su Lun is more optimistic about "Youth". After all, she entered the industry with Feng Xiaogang - she was the assistant director of the "Big Shot" crew!

Of course, her own words were: I'm not an assistant director at all, I'm just a handyman who does everything.

However, Shen Liang is so pessimistic about "Legend of the Demon Cat"?
"I saw in the introduction that Legend of the Demon Cat cost 17 billion!"

"It doesn't matter if it costs 70 billion. Director Chen's movies are not good. Having high artistic attainments doesn't mean you can make movies that audiences like!"

A voice came from behind: "What you said is quite interesting!"

Shen Liang turned his head and saw that it was Xu Zheng... Shen Liang didn't care, but continued: "I think the best-selling movies in the market at this stage are those that can arouse the audience's empathy... First of all, the story comes first, and then everything else!"

“What about the star cast?”

“It doesn’t matter… The biggest star in Wolf Warrior 2 is Wu Jing, and the cast of Shameful Iron Fist is the worst in the entire National Day… The cast of Operation Mekong, which sold well last year, was not that good either…”

Xu Zheng nodded, then shook his head with a bit of regret: "Originally there was a project that was very suitable for you, but... I met you too late!"

"Oh?"

"Liu Ruoying directed "Later", the heroine is Zhou Dongyu!"

“…Isn’t “Later” a song?”

Xu Zheng said: "... "My Deskmate" has sold 5 million yuan, "Gardenia Blossoms" has sold nearly 4 million yuan... "Later" can certainly be adapted..."

Shen Liang said seriously: "Then I have to work hard, write a few more songs, and wait another ten years, so that I can shoot "Seaweed Dance"..."

Jing Tian, ​​who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but interjected, "Other people are filming stories, but you're filming 'Seaweed Dance'?"

"What's wrong with 'Seaweed Dance'? 'Who says little people can't be heroes...' What an inspiring phrase!"

Xu Zheng looked at Shen Liang and asked, "What kind of movies do you think I am suitable for? Besides comedy!" "...I can play the kind of story about a hero's twilight years and the king's return...I have to give up my favorite sport due to my physical condition...such as boxing...but there is a fire burning in my heart..."

Su Lun added: "Finally came back and won the championship?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "This is not very realistic. Boxing is also a sport that relies on youth. I think being beaten to death on the stage is more passionate..."

“…You’re going too far!”

"Then design to cripple you for life?"

Xu Zheng asked: "Why boxing?"

"Boxing and racing are both fine, because these two sports are not very popular... the public doesn't understand them very well, so we can write about them..."

"Do you have any specific ideas?"

Shen Liang was surprised: "I just said it casually... If Director Xu is interested, he can ask the screenwriter to write it himself, and then gain or lose weight... It would be best to lose 100 pounds, and focus on 100 pounds when promoting it, and the box office will come!"

"…I'm making a movie, not a weight loss documentary…" Xu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Your idea is quite interesting…"

Xu Zheng must have found this idea very interesting...

Comedians with a certain status all want to transform themselves and no longer want to be clowns for others to watch...

Therefore, most comedians want to perform serious plays or pretend to be masters when they reach a certain level, and start their speech on stage by saying "Ladies and gentlemen, you must remember..."

"If you're really interested, I can try to write a script outline, but I don't understand the specific story arrangement and language rhythm!"

"Then write one..." After saying that, Xu Zheng looked at Shen Liang and said, "Do you want to be a director?"

“…I definitely can’t…”

Shen Liang quickly shook his head: "A director must have aesthetic taste, understand the use of light and scenery, be able to use the camera to tell a story, have ideas, and know what his film wants to convey... I am far from that!"

Su Lun smiled and said, "You are talking about excellent directors...How many directors on the market can meet your requirements?"

"I have very high standards for myself... If I can attract investment, I can become a director, then... what will the movie become?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore... the scene is almost set..."

……

Shen Liang is self-aware...

With his current ability, it's no problem for him to shoot a short drama, but forget about filming a movie...

After all, I have not received any relevant training!

Of course, he doesn't think that professional training is necessarily awesome!

"Keban" was originally a term in the opera circle.

In the opera circle, if a person wants to become an opera actor, he or she must basically receive professional education and training. In a sense, this is determined by the oral and mental transmission of opera education.

But in the film and television industry, the concept of professional training is a bit vague.

In fact, for a long time after the birth of film, there was no so-called professional film education, but it did not affect the filmmakers from various professions and all walks of life to create classics.

The so-called professional training is more of an identity symbol!
Certification issued by Circle.

With this logo, you are one of us and can do art!
In fact, directors who are trained in film and television generally have a mentality of looking down on the audience. In their works, dramatic conflict, an essential element of commercial films, is basically abandoned...

Ahem...

This is getting off topic. Shen Liang has no intention of becoming a director for now, but of course that doesn't rule out the possibility of taking action in the future!

After all, it’s better to make your own plate than to compete with others for food.
