I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 232 Confirmed to appear in the film (33)

Director Chen doesn’t take on roles easily!

He himself said that he accepts roles in three categories: one is the type that wants to bend over backwards for a few dollars; one is the type that wants to owe a favor; and one is the type that he likes...

This is nonsense!
Almost all actors’ criteria for accepting roles cannot escape these three things…

Although Shen Liang respected him, he did not elevate him to a pedestal...

After all, he is also an actor.

It’s not like he hasn’t taken on such a bad movie as “The Tomb of the Assassin”, and he also invited Director Chen Ming to direct the “masterpiece” “The Bombing”…

There is absolutely no need to make him look like a legend...

Marketing accounts like him, and when mentioning Chen Daoming, they will add a bunch of adjectives like "drama is more important than life", "art has no end", "moral model" and so on.

Can't do it!
He's just an actor, and then there's the rest...

From the perspective of the actor's image, Shen Liang really feels that Chen Daoming is not suitable for the role of the father!
The father in "A Sun" is a driving school instructor, and his catchphrase is "grasp the time and grasp the direction"...

He gave this sentence to his son as his motto.

The corresponding scene is the scene in A Brighter Summer Day when the father and son were walking home on bicycles. The son had just been punished by the school for committing a crime, and the father said to him, "You must believe that your future can be determined by your own efforts."

This sentence may seem encouraging, but it is actually like an invisible yoke. Because my son failed the entrance exam not long ago and had to transfer to Jianzhong Night School to study...

The father in "A Sun" gave his eldest son the words "grasp the time, grasp the direction", and then the eldest son jumped off the building!

It’s better if this character is not a star…

Just familiar face is fine.

Chen Daoming's personal style is too strong...

So, Shen Liang said honestly: "The investment in this play is not high, I just plan to find a few acquaintances to help me... I don't plan to get much at the box office..."

Chen Daoming directly changed the subject: "...How did you come up with such a story?"

"I was browsing TikTok and saw a kid quarreling with his mother, then he opened the car door and jumped out of the car... That day I happened to read "The Fragile Story" in Yuan Zhesheng's short story "The Lonely Game"... The role of the elder brother is too perfect. He lives up to others' expectations and plays the role of a good person. He always gives, but in the end he satisfies others but loses himself and doesn't know how to get along with himself... The younger brother is shaped according to his elder brother..."

“…Who did the director find?”

"Director Rao Xiaozhi... He made "Hello, Madman" and I am very familiar with him..."

"…I see!"

Chen Daoming nodded, turned around and left. Shen Liang wanted to call him...

But shut up...

What do you mean?
Will you take this role or not?
Make it clear...

……

Well, Chen Daoming decided to take on the role of the father in "A Sun". He thought this role was very interesting and different from the roles he had played before...

Some acting!
"...Chen Daoming, I always feel that he has too much of an intellectual temperament..."

Shen Liang complained to his mother...

My mother didn't say anything, Shen Liang continued: "When he played in "A Sun", I felt that Liu Dehua played in "Lost and Love", there was a sense of disharmony..."

"What do you think of Chen Daoming's acting skills?"

"Pretentious, pretentious, pretentious..."

"You got the wrong idea. It's not that Director Chen is good at acting in these roles, but that people just want to see Director Chen act in this style... You should know that Director Chen has acted in "Black Hole" and "Winter Solstice", which were broadcast one after the other. In "Winter Solstice", he played the role of Chen Yiping, a bank clerk, to perfection..."

Shen Liang had not seen "Winter Solstice", but he chose to believe his mother and asked in a low voice: "Mom, did he not ask for salary?" "He asked for a basic salary..."

"Well, I'll let him go..."

"Well," Mother Shen changed the subject: "The actress you are looking for has already signed an acting contract. Her name is...Bai Lu, right?"

"Yes, that's her..."

"She looks exactly like that Li Yitong!"

Shen Liang was speechless: "How can it be like..."

That is, how do they look alike?

Don’t just look at her appearance, Bai Lu is four years younger than Li Yitong!
Mother Shen then asked: "What is your relationship with her?"

"Friends!"

"Just friends? When did you start caring so much about your friends?"

"I've always been very loyal... I'm dead."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang wanted to call Bai Lu... but forget it. Being too close to his ex-girlfriend could easily lead to a rekindling of old feelings...

Or...let’s just live stream it!

……

"…I went to the Beijing Film Festival…to promote myself. After all, I am a young actor with a clear upward trend. It is normal for the Beijing Film Festival to invite me!"

After briefly explaining his schedule, a netizen asked, "Are you going to work with Yang Zi in the next movie?"

"Yes, "Squid Stewed in Honey"... It's an idol drama. I'm 23 this year, the most suitable age for filming idol dramas... And I've seen "Squid Stewed in Honey", it's pretty good..."

"Plastic surgery face... Lu Xueqi has a bad reputation all her life..."

Well, the brothers in the live broadcast room don’t have a very favorable impression of Yang Zi...!

This is normal. After all, "Ashes of Love" has not been aired yet and Yang Zi has not yet become a top star. On the other hand, everyone is indeed dissatisfied with Yang Zi's role as Lu Xueqi in "The Legend of Chusen"!

To be honest, it was really a miracle that Yang Zi was able to make a comeback.

When "The Legend of Chusen" announced that Yang Zi would play Lu Xueqi, the entire Internet was against it, and Wang Congshao directly commented that "the casting was a failure!"

"The Legend of Chusen" itself is a failed work. It attracted a large number of fans of the original novel under the banner of "Zhu Xian", but it completely disrespected the original novel and arbitrarily changed the plot, triggering a collective backlash from a large number of fans of the original novel...

Then many people directly blamed Yang Zi for the failure of "Fights Break Sphere" - she was too ugly!

This view still has a market today - the first among the four common women.

Shen Liang frowned and said seriously, "People who say this are irresponsible. Yang Zi is one of the best actresses of the new generation... As for her looks, even if she is not a peerless beauty, she is at least a pretty sister... Her image is soft and cute, and she is perfect for the heroine in "Honey Stewed Squid."

“After the filming of Joy of Life was finished, I joined the crew of Squid Stewed in Honey Sauce…”

"I have definitely thought about it... I also want to act in movies, especially high-quality movies, but there are no suitable projects for me..."

"What did you talk about with Wu Jing? Is this also trending on the search?"

“…Photos taken by the media on site…” Shen Liang was speechless: “My live broadcast room is almost turning into a press conference…”

"We didn't talk about anything, just the post-production of The Wandering Earth... Oh, by the way, I told him that I really wanted to play a role similar to Tian Yangsheng, who is ruthless, cool, and can fight... He asked me to help him see if there are any suitable projects..."

"Why did he help me? Because we have a good relationship... I worked with him on "The Wandering Earth" and we worked in the same trench for two months..."

"Well, tomorrow we'll record the last episode of Singer... live broadcast... I'm telling you guys, you must watch it, there's a surprise!"
