I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 141 The Hardships of Young Actors (23)

"The Birth of an Actor" is quite popular.

The acting competition version of "I Am a Singer" has the potential to become a phenomenal variety show in a sense!
But...the competition system is not reasonable.

In order to protect certain specific actors, relatively weak opponents are assigned to her/him.

Are they trying to save face for the actors and stakeholders, or are they trying to get audience likes and high ratings?
The answer is obvious, so this show has given up the possibility of becoming a big hit.

At best, it's just a topic of conversation after dinner...

The most speechless thing is that they are calling a deer a horse...

Ouyang Nana PK Zheng Hao, and the latter lost. That's right, a professional actor with more than 20 years of experience in the film industry was asked to act with someone who didn't even know what film and television acting was... and he was still judged to have lost!
Losing is losing, but being labeled as a drama bully?
What the fuck…shit.

A good hand played badly...

However, "The Birth of the Actors" did allow many acting talents to be seen, including Zhou Yiwei, Lan Yingying, Xin Zhilei, Shu Chang, Peng Yuchang and Dr. Zhai...

Especially Shu Chang, if it weren’t for "The Birth of the Actors", she would have been ignored long ago. How could she have had the chance to switch to live streaming to sell goods?
Just kidding, but Xin Zhilei did enter the public eye because of "The Birth of an Actor", but her previous "The River Map" won the Golden Photography Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and she is also well-known in the circle...

That's it!

The market is like this; it is impossible to give you good works to choose from just because you have acting skills.

The circle is very realistic. If you are not famous, you can only pick the rest!

Therefore, anyone who enters the circle, regardless of whether they have acting skills or not, wants to be famous. The situation of not being famous is too difficult to endure.

Besides, she is 31 years old.

The golden age for actresses is between 25 and 30 years old!
Shen Liangman admires her and appreciates her very much - she turned the supporting actress into the heroine in "Knife of the Assassin 2"!
Most importantly, she will play Haitang Duoduo - Director Sun Hao saw "Blade Master 2" and immediately cast her, and specially designed two big axes...

So, when we met, we immediately greeted each other: "Sister Xin!"

Xin Zhilei was also very happy to see Shen Liang: "...Shen Liang...I heard that you took over "Celebrating Yu Nian"? "

"Yes, I play Fan Xian..."

"I play Haitang Duoduo... I am 9 years older than you!"

"It's okay. Nowadays, audiences like to watch love stories between older women and younger men..."

Xin Zhilei was speechless: "That's too far!"

“It’s not much different…”

"I heard that 'Mars' is difficult to record, can you help me later..."

"It's okay for me to pass on a few topics, but you still have to speak for yourself!"

"I'm afraid what I said is meaningless..."

Shen Liang waved his hand: "What's the big deal? Just tell me whether it's interesting or not. There's a host!"

……

This episode did not have the original time and space...

I guess it’s because the program crew has money, so they have the confidence to ride on the popularity!

Otherwise, where would we get the money to hire people?
Wang Han made an opening speech - meetings on Earth are the most annoying, meetings on Mars are the most enjoyable. He then introduced Xin Zhilei and got to the point, starting with of course the questioning session of mid-level agents.

"I want to ask Shen Liang..."

Shen Liangcai sat down and was about to drink some water. When he heard someone questioning him, he immediately stood up and pointed at himself in confusion: "What's wrong with me?"

"Many netizens have urged you to participate in "The Birth of an Actor". What do you think?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "Why do actors appear on acting variety shows?"

"for what?"

"Ask Xin Zhilei!" Xin Zhilei: "For fame!"

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes, in order to be seen by others, only when someone sees it, good resources will come to me. I don't lack these... What should I do? Be a mentor? I am too far behind in qualifications..."

Wang Han quickly said, "Be...be a mentor?"

"You can't let me be like a contestant, right? That would be too much of a loss for me!"

"You are so bold..."

The questioner then asked, "Aren't you worried that your acting skills are not as good as others?"

Shen Liang was speechless, so he simply said: "...You underestimate my connections. With my current status, who dares to beat me in an acting variety show? Who can beat me? If you win, you will be the drama tyrant!"

Wang Han interrupted again: "...Ahem, stop talking nonsense... Come on, next question!"

Well, he also knew what Shen Liang was mocking...

It seems that "The Birth of the Actors" has indeed become popular!

……

"Mars" is still about telling stories around proposals. This time Xin Zhilei came and everyone talked about the stories of the unknown period...

Yang Dixian said: "I was the worst. After "China's Got Talent", I became a little famous. With the introduction of the TV station, I went to visit the comedy master Li Boqing.

Because Li Boqing is very famous in the Bashu area, and he is also the first Bashu Comedian, and I am from Sichuan, so I definitely attach great importance to it...

As a result, when we met, I was mocked by him. I remember it clearly. He said, "You are insulting art. You are too self-righteous. Anyone with a little bit of vision will think that your work is not very good!"..."

"In fact, subconsciously, I don't really approve of my exaggerated performance. I just want to make a living."

"Later, I gradually understood what Mr. Li Boqing meant. What he meant was, 'What you think is humor may be frivolous in the eyes of others!' Because at that time I only knew how to imitate and prank... It was really hard to hear, but it did make sense..."

"And then you worked hard to improve yourself?"

"No... let's ask Shen Liang?"

"I went to school normally, and then I signed up for the talent show with my friends. Then everyone knew about it. I don't have much to say, so I'd better ask Xin Zhilei... I heard that your family is not well off?"

Xin Zhilei nodded: "It was okay at the beginning, but when I was in college, my father was paralyzed in bed due to illness. In order to take care of him, my mother had to give up her job and stay at home to take care of him full-time, and the family had no source of income...

I am the eldest in the family, I have younger brothers and sisters... I can only work part-time while going to school...

When I was a junior, I was introduced by a friend to work as a hostess at a TV station. Maybe because I was good-looking, I started to get more and more things to do at the TV station. During one event, I met Mr. Zhen Zidan and had a good chat with him... So I recommended myself, hoping to join Zhen Zidan's team. I am hardworking and can do makeup..."

"Did the agent agree?"

"I agree, but Zhen Zidan is a star, so he can't stay in one place forever. His job is to travel all over the country. If I want to follow him, I have to drop out of school!"

"Did you drop out of school?"

Xin Zhilei nodded: "I quit. I just wanted to make more money... Then I went to Guangzhou... joined his company and started to be an artist!"

Shen Liang started talking: "And then you became famous?"

"I joined his company in 07, what do you think?"

From 07 to now...wow, it’s been 10 years!

How many people can endure being unknown for nearly 10 years?

"The company treated me very well and enrolled me in the advanced training class of the Central Academy of Drama. But when I graduated from the advanced training class, I was already 25 years old... I didn't have any works, and then I started playing minor roles for two or three years..."

"Why don't you try another job?"

"If I don't do this, I won't have any good job to do!"
