I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 256 It’s Hard to Reject (44)

Shen Liang’s disdain for Chen Kun wasn’t because of his failure or something—he was known as the chassis detector of all major TV stations!

"The Rise of Phoenixes" broke Mango TV's record for lowest ratings;
"The Wind Rises in Longxi" broke the record of the lowest ratings of CCTV-8's prime time in ten years...

"Win or Lose" was the annual finale of the Zhejiang Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV dual-broadcast. The two stations combined could only barely break 0.5%, falling below the annual ratings of the two stations;

Even the Peace Boat, which was broadcast on CCTV-1.19, was produced by the same team as The Longest Day in Chang'an. After it was broadcast during prime time, the ratings were only 1%, and later fell below %...

The ratings of CCTV-1’s prime time have basically started at 1.2% over the years. Even a rural drama that you may have never heard of can easily break 1.4%…

Earned the nickname 'Pukun'...

But this has nothing to do with Shen Liang...

Whether you like it or not, there are so many Mesozoic people who fail, and he is not the only one...

Some even went in!

It’s not because his fans cyberbullied Tianxia Guiyuan, nor is it because he looked down on Liu Yifei and supported Dong Jie...

Or maybe he likes to steal the spotlight. In the documentary "Dragon Gate Flying Swords", there is a scene where he discusses with Xu Ke, saying, "I can only have a role if I do this and that!" Xu Ke interrupted him directly, "That's enough! You've already had enough roles."

Shen Liang doesn't want to cooperate with him...

The main reason is that this person is too pretentious.

Shen Liang likes "Round Table" very much. In one episode, Chen Kun and Zhou Xun were guests on "Round Table" together. I originally hoped that they could chat about something...

As a result, it was a complete nonsense. Throughout the show, Dou Wentao was trying to save face, make amends, and constantly give advice and bring up topics...

Still couldn't save the situation!

After watching that episode, I came to the conclusion: he is just a good-for-nothing...
Really took advantage of debuting early... reaped the dividends of the times...

That's it!

Why should Shen Liang respect such a person?

……

Shen Liang: "When Huo Jianhua played in The Journey of Flower, his status was much higher than Zhao Liying's. He didn't force the role into a male lead role.

In "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Yang Mi's status far exceeded Li Yifeng, and the male protagonist was not changed to a female protagonist...

As for Sun Li, the production crew took the initiative to add a lot of scenes for her that had nothing to do with the script, but she overturned them all!
TV dramas are collective creations, and actors serve the plot. Only actors with vision can produce good dramas. This kind of person is a typical person without vision!"

Chen Jiadong shook his head: "I'm worried that he will trip us up..."

Shen Liang rolled his eyes: "He wouldn't dare..."

Chen Jiadong didn't say anything, so Nini asked curiously, "Why do you dare to offend anyone?"

“…I’m telling you, everyone in the entertainment industry is connected to capital. It just so happens that the higher-ups are planning to clean up the entertainment industry, and they’re in need of a role model…”

"What does that have to do with you?"

Shen Liang smiled and didn't answer...

Nini probably knew something, thought about it, and changed the subject: "...I just talked to Director Xin Shuang and I'm going to take over the play "Want to See You..."

"Very good..." Shen Liang nodded, then asked Chen Jiadong: "Why are you here?"

“…Director Hong Tao asked us to go to the “Fantasy City”…”

"The City of Fantasy?"

"Director Hong Tao's new show... had very poor ratings..."

"I know..." Shen Liang nodded: "So, I am hesitating whether to go or not!"

...Mango TV had a bleak summer this year...

In terms of dramas, the summer schedule is arranged, with the prime time being "Sweet Combat" and "The Rise of Phoenixes", and "Meteor Garden" arranged by the Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater...

Let’s not talk about those two flops, let’s just talk about the new version of Meteor Garden. Almost all the resources of Mango TV were used to promote it, but the ratings were barely acceptable but hard to say they were outstanding, and the word of mouth was terrible. In the end, it was not even a topic to be ridiculed…

As for "Fantasy City"...

It is a brand-new model that integrates music, movies and live performances, and it is definitely worthy of the title of a new species.

The problem is that this show has been constantly highlighting the producers themselves from the beginning, abandoning the audience experience, and falling into a self-empowerment cycle of improving the audience's aesthetic taste...

——The main feature is the immersive viewing stage, with music performance as the main form. Guests provide inspiration, professionals integrate creation, and finally jointly complete a music story short film. To put it bluntly, it is to shoot a story-telling MV
The audience watched several clips of the MV production process. The performance was passable, the singing was average, and the plot was fragmented.

It’s fine if it’s not attractive, but you have to repeatedly tell the audience that the performance you just saw was actually very difficult...

But what does this have to do with the audience?
I don’t care whether it’s difficult or not, I just know it’s ugly!
In order to attract sponsorship, this program directly invited Wang Fei.

Then in the first episode, the audience watched the show during the commercials. There were seven sponsors. Even if it was not the most for Mango TV variety shows, it was already eye-catching enough. Maybe Wang Fei was too expensive - I heard that "Fantasy City" offered a sky-high price of 8000 million to invite Wang Fei!
But the ratings are clearly not worth the price tag...

In the fourth episode, Wang Fei called both of his daughters to the stage and shed tears after watching their performances, but the ratings still dropped to 0.5...

Mango TV’s Friday prime time is basically ruined.

Throughout the summer season, apart from the family drama "My Little Boy", only the old show "Happy Camp" can save face...

But...it was really hard for Shen Liang to refuse Director Hong Tao's invitation.

He helped Shen Liang a lot - "Singer 2018" directly opened up Shen Liang's national status in the music scene...

So, after a brief thought, I called Xin Shuang and said, "Put down your work first and go to a variety show with me!"

Xin Shuang on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "…What the hell?"

“‘Fantasy City’…accompany me to shoot a music video!”

"…"Fantasy Moon City"…invited you?"

"Well... I really can't refuse... Director Hong Tao has done me a favor!"

"…good!"

Xin Shuang agreed readily.

"Well, it's settled then... I'll finish the filming in three days... and then we'll go directly to Changsha."

……

Just as Shen Liang expected, there was no response from Chen Kun, and he even sent a message through someone...

Hope we can reconcile!
There's no reconciliation, I just said a few words when I was upset...

Shen Liang ignored him and continued filming...

The filming of "Squid Stew" is coming to an end, but the weather is still hot...

Fortunately, Shen Liang is in good condition...

To be exact, a very good attitude!
Nobody earned 4500 million on the first day and 6200 million on the second day, directly beating Ant-Man 2. On the third day, it continued to be the single-day box office champion, earning 7300 million...

On the fourth day, which is today, even though "Mission Impossible 6" was released, theaters still gave 27% of the screenings - nearly 7 screenings!
And gave a forecast of 6200 million...

Maoyan's forecast for the total box office of "Nobody" has also increased from 5 million to 11.7 billion...

Hot-selling level!
