I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 223 Kneel or Not Kneel (33)

Shen Liang just finished filming "Do You Know?"...

Then I joined the crew of "Joy of Life".

To be honest, he feels that the creative atmosphere of "Joy of Life" is stronger than that of "Knowing Your Destiny".

He, Guo Qilin, Liu Duanduan and Tian Xiwei often discussed their respective roles together...

Give each other advice!
Later, actor Liu Haowei, who played the eldest prince, also joined in.

There is a strong sense of creation...

He never had this feeling in "Do You Know"...

Of course, it is also possible that the other actors of "Do You Know" set up a creative team behind Shen Liang's back - after all, the young master is outside the main plot.
But all the stories of "Joy of Life" revolve around Fan Xian.

His attitude, or rather his actions, quickly spread throughout the entire crew...

Many actors also joined in...

In fact, most actors’ attitude towards their peers is very simple. It all depends on your work attitude and your spirit of dedication and hard work.

You may not be smart or have poor abilities, but as long as you work twice as hard, you can still gain the respect of others.

On the contrary, those traffic stars who carry seven or eight assistants with them and let their assistants do every line for them, although they may flatter you on the surface, who knows how they may curse you behind your back!

Shen Liang is not only smart - he can memorize his lines very quickly and can memorize them after only two readings at most.

And work especially hard...

Naturally won the respect of the crew...

It was real respect. In the beginning, many people called him "Brother Liang" jokingly or sarcastically, but later, even the director started calling him "Brother Liang".

……

"What is this? Beijing Film Festival? The crew of The Wandering Earth is going to screen it?"

Chen Jiadong handed him an invitation letter, an invitation letter to the Beijing Film Festival...

When he opened it, he found out that it was an invitation from the crew of "Time Travelers". Shen Liang was stunned for a moment: "No, our movie has been released for a month. Why go to the film festival now?"

This is a bit confusing indeed...

Regardless of whether it is the Beijing Film Festival or the Shanghai Film Festival, for domestic films, it has only one function: promotion!

"Time Travel" is about to be released, what's the point of promoting it?
Chen Jiadong was not sure either. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe it's to sell the film?"

“…Sell the film to Cannes…”

"The Beijing Film Festival also has a trading unit..." Chen Jiadong continued: "My opinion is that we should go there... just like walking on the red carpet and promoting ourselves..."

Shen Liang frowned: "...It's not easy for me to ask for leave."

"The 13th... still a week away!"

“…I’ll ask Xu Zheng.”

As he spoke, Shen Liang took out his cell phone...

Chen Jiadong stopped him: "I'll ask you later... there's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"The film "Squid Stew" has been completed..."

"How did you do it?"

Chen Jiadong: "You are a top star now. If you take the initiative to join a drama, I generally won't refuse... And Tengxun has also become one of the investors..."

“…When will it start?”

"The project has already started its early preparations... Once Joy of Life is finished, we can almost join the crew!"

"…OK."

Shen Liang nodded and then asked, "Anything else?"

"Running Man invited us..." Before Shen Liang could say anything, Chen Jiadong spoke up: "But, it has been rejected by Sister Ma..."

“…Don’t mention the rejection,” Shen Liang called Xu Zheng and asked about the invitation to the Beijing Film Festival.

Xu Zheng briefly explained: Film festivals need attention... "It's better to go... just think of it as meeting new friends..."

"...Okay, I'll talk to the crew..."

"I heard that you're not going to do that school bullying theme anymore?"

Shen Liang nodded: "... Let's not do it anymore. If we go too deep, it won't pass the review; if we just scratch the surface, it's meaningless..."

Xu Zheng on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Sensitive topics are like this... Without the support of a big director, you generally won't be approved!"

Even if it passes, some compensation measures must be taken...

The original time and space is that after finishing "Better Days", he immediately took on "Chinese Women's Volleyball Team" and "Home at One Point"...

Shen Liang took the opportunity to tell the story of "Sunshine": "Uncle Xu, what do you think of this project?"

"…you play the juvenile delinquent?"

"Um…"

"I think the idea is good...Do you have a complete script?"

“Still writing…”

"When the script is finished, send me a copy..."

"Um…"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang said to Chen Jiadong: "Please ask for leave for me..."

Oh, the price for Shen Liang in "Honey Stewed Squid" is 6500 million...

After tax!

Shen Liang is a top star, and he is a top star with good national popularity and reputation. The price tag of 6500 million is not high.

他们2016年就给张若芸开了5000万价码——华策2016年想绑定张若芸，以每部5000w的顶薪约定了到2019年拍4部的条件…

That’s right, Zhang Ruoyun’s price tag in 2016 was already 5000 million!

Before the salary cap, celebrities’ prices were so high.

……

"I think he should not kneel. Fan Xian originally lived a carefree life in Danzhou. Although there were occasional assassinations, they were all safe. When he first met the emperor, he represented Fan Xian himself. Kneeling or not is irrelevant. What's more, it was a private meeting between the emperor and him..."

On the set of "Celebrating More Than Years", Shen Liang was discussing their first meeting with Chen Daoming...

And the screenwriter Wang Juan.

Wang Juan raised the issue of kneeling...

Shen Liang shook his head: "Although Fan Xian has modern consciousness, he likes literature and history, especially he knows the Dream of the Red Chamber and Du Fu's Seven-Character Verses. Such a person should be sensitive to the ancient etiquette between monarchs and ministers... He can not kneel, but he must give a similar explanation... Moreover, if Fan Xian is really so modern, he should not marry Lin Wan'er..."

Chen Daoming was puzzled: "Why?"

"Lin Wan'er is his cousin. If he really has such a modern mindset, how could he possibly accept his cousin?"

Wang Juan hurriedly said: "...No, I changed the identity of the eldest princess to the cousin of Emperor Qing..."

Well, in order to pass the review, the relationship between the characters was slightly modified. After all, the prince is his own aunt... The eldest princess has always been obsessed with Emperor Qing...

Very royal, but not harmonious!

"Emperor Qing asked Fan Xian if he had knelt when he came back from the Qing Temple. The answer "no" was a foreshadowing. How could a man who doesn't kneel even to gods kneel for an ordinary person?"

"…it can be changed to Fan Xian not remembering to kneel at first, and Eunuch Hou reminded him, and then Emperor Qing said, 'If you don't want to kneel...' and add, 'I have seen many people who are not bound by etiquette!'"

"it is good…"

This scene was very simple to shoot, a purely literary drama…

Shen Liang also acted very easily. According to Fan Xian's thinking, he was mostly curious about Emperor Qing, and not afraid of him...

I didn’t feel that there was any order in the palace. You see, the assassin who was assassinating the emperor was flying over the eaves and walls openly, and after entering the palace, Emperor Qing didn’t sit leisurely on the dragon throne in his deep V clothes like before...

Instead, he quietly hid behind the bookshelf.

Fan Xian has no reason to be afraid!
