I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 194 Daily Life of the Crew (13)

Shen Liang didn't mean to pretend to be innocent, he really didn't understand...

Whether a movie is a hit or not has nothing to do with the TV series, right?
Although "The Monkey King 3" did not achieve the desired results, Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng were still the male and female protagonists in the crew, and they were like the moon surrounded by stars!
"Time Raiders"... not really?
Of course, Shen Liang did not refuse the crew's kindness and took the cake with a smile...

"Do you need to take leave this time?"

"…No…"

"The promotional period is over?"

Shen Liang explained: "The intensive promotion period has passed. I will accept some media interviews and interviews later. I can ask them to come to me..."

"…Then go back to your room and get some rest… We will rehearse your play tomorrow!"

"Um…"

Holding the cake, Shen Liang was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned his head: "Director, how about dividing the cake first? It's so big, I can't finish it..."

“…Alright!”

The cake is huge...

After dividing it into more than twenty portions, Shen Liang distributed them one by one to the on-site staff...

Since the crew is not filming, the actors have no chance to enjoy the show. Shen Liang can’t just knock on the door and deliver cakes, right?

……

"…Well, I'm back to the crew…After all, I'm the second male lead, and taking leave all the time will delay the filming…and the crew only has one month left to rent the location in Hengdian…"

"Yes, for the next half month, apart from recording "Singer", I stayed in Hengdian..."

After returning to the room, Shen Liang took a shower, then opened the live broadcast room, first answered a few questions, and then said with a smile: "You all went to see "Time Travel Cohabitation"... How was it? It's not bad, right? I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

"I must have read the script and couldn't find any major faults, so I took the role..."

"Did I act well? I only completed the task, but I didn't add any points to the movie itself... In other words, if this movie had a different actor, its reviews wouldn't be low... Of course, it's hard to say whether the box office would be so high..."

"To be honest, I am also an artist with a lot of traffic!"

"Today's box office... Wow, 4800 million... Surpassed "Black Panther"..."

"I haven't watched Black Panther, but I just took a quick look at the reviews... I roughly know why it has such a split reputation... Americans will definitely praise it, because it is a movie made for black people, or more precisely, for American blacks... Black people like Black Panther so much, and you are a white person who doesn't watch it or says it's not good after watching it, are you trying to be racist?"

"But here we don't have such moral shackles... Racial discrimination? Haha, don't label people casually, and don't label others. I don't discriminate against black people... I have a very typical Chinese mentality: there is no racial discrimination in China, only behavioral discrimination.

The behaviors that China discriminates against include: laziness, aggressiveness, low IQ but the desire to get something for nothing, chaos, promiscuity, drug abuse, complete lack of responsibility, etc.

People who have the above behaviors, no matter whether you are white, black or yellow, are all discriminated against and regarded as garbage by the Chinese…”

"...I won't say this, lest I get blocked...My pay...I'll take a share!"

"The basic salary is 50 yuan + 5% of the box office share... I got a share of the two dramas I acted in... "Time Raiders" was a little better, at least I got a basic salary. For "The Wandering Earth", I invested 4000 million yuan myself... converted into a 15% share, plus my salary, it is 20%..."

"When I take a role, unless it's a guest appearance, I will definitely get a share of the pay..."

"…My salary…is indeed quite high. If I were to shoot a movie myself, no one would invite me. The cost performance ratio is too low…So, I might as well just take a basic salary…"

"I'm in the industry, and my main focus is on value for money, low pay, good work...

In addition, I abide by the law and morality, and I am not a risky artist..."

"After Time Travel Cohabitation... I won't refuse TV series or web series... There are too few good scripts, and I'm not the first choice. For example, for Time Travel Cohabitation, the director's first choice was Liu Haoran, and it was only when he didn't take the job that it was my turn..."

"The entertainment industry is very realistic. Top actors are connected to top resources... Only the resources that top actors don't want can be retained!"

"So far, I haven't received any good movie offers..."

"Now I am qualified to choose... How do I choose a project? I read the script first. If the script is acceptable, I will look at the logic of the character... This is the general situation..."

"It's not a normal situation... if a big director comes to you, like Zhang Yimou or Chen Kexin, just agree!"

"If I don't have a schedule, I'll make one myself... Acting in a movie directed by a big director can be included in an actor's resume..." "Over 8 billion... probably not. This weekend there's Tomb Raider: Origins, and next week there's Pacific Rim: Uprising... I estimate it'll be around million..."

"The female lead of the billion-dollar movie judged by naked eyes... Of course I know who she is, but I can't tell you... Just give me a few keywords, and you can guess. She's very popular, with more than 3000 million followers on Weibo... She was born after 85!"

"Are you married? Damn, are you trying to trick me? If I tell you, you'll know..."

“‘Birds and Cicadas’… is it nice to listen to? It’s fine as long as it’s nice to listen to… the chords are in the Canon key of 15634125, and the melody sounds like the ups and downs of waves, which makes it suitable for a love song…”

“I’ll sing it once…”

Talent show...

After singing "Flying Birds and Cicadas", we sang "Wujiapo 2018" and sang "Jingwei"...

"The competition of "Singer" is too intense, and I don't want to lose, so I often choose songs with extremes... Next time I will choose a song with a gentler melody..."

"I won't sing the original version...Okay, I'll think about what to sing..."

"Well, it's great to have you tonight. I'm going to leave first. Good night everyone..."

After exiting the live broadcast room, Shen Liang opened his phone and checked. The box office of "Time Travel Cohabitation" on the first working day was 4800 million...

Ranked first, "Black Panther" ranked second with 3600 million...

The third one is "Operation Red Sea", with 2000 million...

By the way, there are many people on the Internet who use Operation Red Sea to criticize Time Travelers, saying things like "It's a shame for the Chinese film industry that it was surpassed by such a low-cost movie!"

Brother, Operation Red Sea has been released for more than 20 days...

The cumulative box office has exceeded 33 billion...

What's so strange about being overtaken?

……

At six in the morning, Shen Liang went downstairs to have breakfast...

Before going to bed last night, I looked at the shooting schedule for today. He had eight scenes scheduled, and the first scene was at 8 o'clock in the morning...

So, get up early!

He took two eggs, a bowl of porridge, a glass of milk and a basket of steamed buns, put them on a plate, found a seat and sat down. Someone came over and Shen Liang looked up. It was Shi Shi and Zhang Jianing: "Brother Liang, good morning!"

"Well, good morning..." Shen Liang greeted and asked casually, "Are you two here so early too?"

“…There’s a show in the morning…”

"How many games do you have left?"

Shi Shi shook her head: "...I don't know..."

Zhang Jianing responded: "Anyway, we will shoot until May!"

"…The girls of the Sheng family have so many roles to play!"

"We can't just film Minglan, we have to film her sisters to contrast her..."

Shen Liang smiled and said, "My role is actually used to contrast with Uncle Gu... As long as the performance is good... By the way, I went back to the crew yesterday, why didn't I see Brother Shaofeng and Sister Liying?"

“…They went to Xinchang to shoot the exterior scenes!”

"Who leads the team?"

"Old Ji leads the team..."

Old Ji is Ji Baichao, the director of photography of “Do You Know?”

According to Noon Sunshine’s habit, in a few years, Ji Baichao will become a director!
