I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 172 Little Sister (33)

Shen Liang is still a beginner after all, and it takes some time for him to withdraw from the emotional investment...

Very normal!
Shen Liang took the water cup handed over by Chen Jiadong, took a sip, and then said: "After finishing the filming of "Do You Know?", I need to rest for at least a week...to empty my mind!"

Chen Jiadong said quietly: "But in a few days we will be filming the scene where you confess your love to Minglan..."

“…Really?”

"Sister Liying has returned to the crew, what do you think?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment, then sighed, "No wonder Zhou Dongyu acted so badly in Sparrow..."

The shooting cycle of a TV series is long and there are many episodes. The director does not have the patience to polish it over and over again. The emotional expression is shallow and direct. You may be shooting a crying scene in the morning and a happy scene in the afternoon.

It is very likely that Zhou Dongyu had been preparing for a crying scene all night, and before she could get over the emotion, she immediately switched to a happy scene, so she looked like a resentful woman when she smiled.

In comparison, Zhang Kaizhou's team was pretty good. At least they knew to wait two days before filming, giving Anyuan some time to adjust his emotions...

Shen Liang complained for a while, and felt much better. He stood up and said, "... Let's go."

Chen Jiadong picked up the chair and said, "By the way, Li Qin is here..."

"Li Qin? What is she doing here?"

"It seems to be rehearsing "Wujiapo"..."

“…Are we there yet?”

"It should be here..." Chen Jiadong took out his cell phone: "He called me an hour ago... I'm asking!"

"Then you should ask them and pick them up, lest their agent say we are impolite..."

"…She told me not to take it…" Chen Jiadong was about to explain when he suddenly realized something and pointed in the direction of the director: "Brother Liang, Li Qin…"

"where?"

"there!"

Shen Liang followed his gaze and looked over... Sure enough, he was chatting with Director Zhang Kaizhou...

Looks like they're having a lively conversation...

This kind of socializing usually ends with an opportunity to collaborate...

Standard polite words!

Just listen to it.

Just think about it and you will know that it is impossible to cooperate!

You are from Xinli, and Xinli and Noon Sunshine are direct competitors... How desperate must Zhang Kaizhou be to want to cooperate with you?
Noon Sunshine has its own dedicated casting team, and Xinsheng Liliang is not among them.

……

The hotel has a special conference room, so Shen Liang and Li Qin rehearsed directly in the conference room...

As Shen Liang turned on his computer, he said, "Actually, I'm very confident in you. You specialize in Kunqu opera, so you should be very familiar with Wujia Po... I'm a little worried that my singing style and hand-eye-body movements are not up to par..."

Li Qin asked curiously: "...Have you never learned it?"

"Not accurate..." Shen Liang shook his head: "To be precise, I have never had a master... I am just an amateur."

“Can amateurs write?”

Shen Liang waved his hands quickly: "I didn't write it specifically. I chose a passage from the lyrics of Wujia Po. I can't write these words!"

"Then sing it for me..."

"Yeah," Shen Liang nodded, clicked the music play button, stood up and prepared to sing... Then he noticed that Li Qin was standing, so he quickly pressed the pause button and said, "Please sit down first, sit down and listen..."

"It's okay. I'm standing comfortably."

"Stand still, I'm not feeling well..."

"Then I'll sit down..."

Li Qin sat down as he was told, and Shen Liang started to sing, "A horse left Xiliang Pass~"

“Isn’t this a word?”

"Let me warm up my voice first..." Shen Liang explained: "If I don't warm up my voice first, I won't be able to sing such a long old man's tune..."

Without waiting for Li Qin to speak, Shen Liang started singing: "Third sister, no matter how many mistakes you make, they are all the fault of your husband. You, you, you, you, you, please forgive me~ Ah... You know that I, Xue Pingnan, rush home day and night just to reunite with you~"

Li Qin naturally sang "Recalling the past, my tears are still flowing, the colorful building and the embroidered ball are a perfect match~"

Final Chorus...

Shen Liang thought it was great, they got it so right in one take!

So I asked Li Qin: "How do you feel?"

Li Qin didn't even think twice: "It sounds nice!"

"I mean from the perspective of opera singing..."

"Professional perspective?" "Yes! Haven't you studied it?"

Li Qin smiled and said, "I can tell that he is a fan... The strength of pop songs in his punctuation and pronunciation far exceeds that of opera..."

"what?"

Shen Liang felt a little frustrated: "Is it obvious?"

“…Only an expert can tell…”

"Alas," Shen Liang sighed, "I'm really worried that I'll be scolded if I sing on stage!"

"It's okay. If you sing it, they will be more likely to search for the original version of Wujia Po. In a sense, it is also a form of promotion."

“…I’ll listen to it once…”

Shen Liang just recorded it and clicked play...

It is indeed lacking the charm of Peking Opera and the heaviness of eighteen years of separation.

I listened to the concert and it was fun, but it was hard to be moved...

My own compositions and arrangements tend to be pop, and they are a lot lighter…

Shen Liang frowned as he listened. Li Qin looked at his expression and then leaned over: "Do you need to revise it?"

"...It's hard to say," Shen Liang smelled a fragrance, his expression unchanged: "...We will go to rehearse the day after tomorrow, there should be teachers of opera programs, and we can ask them to give us some pointers then..."

"That's the only way..." Li Qin nodded, then asked, "Is the heroine of your crew Zhao Liying?"

"Yes...are you familiar with her?"

"We are quite familiar with each other. We have worked together before on "Princess Agents". Have you seen it?"

Shen Liang said honestly: "I watched one episode, the color matching was too weird, I was too lazy to follow it..."

Li Qin was surprised: "Ah? Then what TV series do you usually watch?"

"Legends of the Swordsman", "Soldier Assault", "Empresses in the Palace", if I have nothing to do, I will watch a few episodes..."

“You’re so nostalgic!”

"I'm not nostalgic, I just don't have anything to watch..." At this point, Shen Liang remembered something: "I'm currently watching "Goblin" and "Signal"..."

"That was a play from two years ago..." Li Qin suddenly asked, "Do you recognize me?"

"Of course I know you, you're Xue Baochai from Hong Lei's Dream!"

"This is..." Li Qin was about to nod when she realized something was wrong: "...What dream?"

"Dream of Red Mansions...Dream of Red Mansions, I'm just kidding...Dream of Red Mansions directed by Li Shaohong..."

Li Qin glared at him and asked, "Did you see it?"

"No..." Shen Liang shook his head: "I heard that the reputation was not good, so I didn't watch it..."

"So, you haven't seen my play?"

"Not completely. I've seen The Founding of a Party. You played Yang..."

"That counts?"

Shen Liang retorted: "Why not? Many actors wanted to act but didn't get the chance. I heard that Tang Wei was deleted. Hey, do you know Tang Wei?"

Li Qin shook her head: "I don't know..."

“…Where’s Feng Shaofeng?”

“I’ve seen you at the event, but I’m not familiar with you…”

Shen Liang suggested: "Then...I'll take you to meet him?"

"Are you familiar with him?"

"Not bad..." Shen Liang nodded: "He's treating me to a meal today, and I'm a little hungry. Shall we go together?"

"Should I change my clothes then?"

Shen Liang took a look at Li Qin's clothes, jeans + blue down jacket...

"There's no need for that. Let's just have a meal... Just tell your agent so he doesn't think I took you away!"

Li Qin was speechless: "You are five years younger than me, where can you take me?"

While packing up his computer, Shen Liang retorted, "You know my birthday? Why do you care about me so much?"

"…You play Fan Xian in Joy of Life, and we are a couple, so of course I want to learn more about it in advance."

Shen Liang asked casually: "So what do you think of my acting skills?"

“I watched a show this afternoon, it was pretty good…”
