I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 272 Criticisms are welcome (24)

Well, Yang Di is actually right...

Shen Liang did not return to the crew directly, but found an opportunity to rekindle his old relationship with Li Yitong...

Of course, just for a moment.

The road of life is long, so don’t look back if you can.

Don’t always hold on to regrets. Once a relationship is lost, it is lost. Even if it comes back, it will be different…

After all these years, meeting again is just a coincidence.

It is inevitable...

After all, we are all in the same circle.

Shen Liang, who was in sage mode, had a lot of thoughts in his mind...

Then, Li Yitong came over after taking a shower, sat next to him, and sighed: "You are still the same as before..."

"…Which aspect are you talking about?"

“…Everything!”

"Don't you think my artistic accomplishment has improved?"

Li Yitong gestured: "...a little bit."

“I’ve been through a lot in just this little bit.”

“…You said it as if you were working really hard.”

"How can we talk about progress without going through some things?" Shen Liang picked up the boiled water, took a sip, and changed the subject: "How are you?"

Li Yitong: "It's pretty good. Although I can't compare with you, I have played many leading roles..."

"…Take on fewer useless dramas. Your acting skills have been honed to a certain degree. It's time to take on dramas with stricter production requirements!"

"What is an invalid episode?"

Shen Liang explained: "It's the kind of drama that doesn't get much discussion after it airs, and it doesn't add anything to the actors. They act the same in every role, and the characters all look the same..."

After a pause, Shen Liang gave an example: "Like my idol Yang Mi, although she has acted in many dramas, and although the dramas she acted in have been discussed a lot, they are almost all negative. Over time, the impression that she is a poor actor has been deepened."

Li Yitong shook her head: "I don't have much choice now... The reason why people choose me for a show is because of a certain characteristic of mine..."

"What trait?"

“Cheap, easy to use, good acting…”

“…Then collaborate more with talented actors!”

"I did collaborate. I collaborated with Teacher Chen Jianbing on a play...but I still can't find a platform to broadcast it..."

"Chen Pancake?"

"Well, I play his wife!"

"…Tsk tsk…there's about a 20-year age difference between you two."

"Chen Jianbing is really talented, isn't he?" Speaking of this, Li Yitong remembered something: "When we were filming, Teacher Chen's wife Jiang Qinqin often came to visit the set..."

"...Maybe he's worried about you?" "I think so too..." Li Yitong glanced at him and asked, "You're so famous, have any actresses taken the initiative to throw themselves at you?"

Shen Liang thought about it and nodded: "Yes!"

"Who?"

"you!"

“…I don’t count!”

Shen Liang hugged her and asked, "Are you sure?"

"…I'm leaving soon…I don't have time…"

"How do you manage to be busier than me, but not earn as much as me, and not be as popular as me?"

"Your words are so irritating!"

"…Ha ha…"

……

As of September 9, "Nobody" had been released for 25 days, with a cumulative box office of 30 million yuan, just one step away from breaking the billion mark.

According to predictions, it should exceed one billion before National Day!

This year's National Day golden period is very busy. There are 9 films released on September 30, including "Shadow", "Wushuang", "Li Cha's Aunt", "Fatty Action Team", "Rescue the Dog Star", "Sadness Is Like a River", etc., and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Moonlight" and "Avanti's Adventure" will be released on October 8. In addition, there are many films to be determined.

By the way, there is a movie that was deliberately withdrawn from the National Day schedule - "Yunnan Worm Valley"!
It is understandable. Not to mention the quality of the film, this film was produced and distributed by Huayi Brothers, and Huayi has a bad reputation nowadays.

As soon as Cui Yongyuan got angry, a series of scandals of Huayi Brothers were exposed. Not only was "Cell Phone 2" unable to be released, but even the capital market abandoned it. The company's stock price plummeted, and first-line celebrities terminated their contracts one after another. The company has not recovered to this day.

Looking back to the time when Huayi Brothers was at its peak from 2008 to 2016, the first thing Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who came to the mainland to develop their careers would do when they arrived at BJ was to go to Huayi’s headquarters to ask if they had a chance to sign a contract.
Now, avoid it!
These have no effect on Nobody...

"Nobody" had no intention of lasting until the National Day holiday.

However, recently "Nobody" has been trending again - not because of the box office, but because Hu Xijin posted a Weibo to criticize "Ash Is Purest White", in which he mentioned that "there are many good films about critical realism, such as the recent "Dying to Survive" and the recent "Nobody", which are both good, "Ash Is Purest White" is full of negative energy..."

The movie "Ash Is Purest White" was released on the fifth day, with a Douban score of 7.8 and a box office of over 5500 million, surpassing the 3500 million "Mountains May Depart", setting a new box office record for Jia Zhangke's movies...

Jia is not someone who is easy to deal with. When "Still Life" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" were released at the same time, he directly criticized "blockbuster hegemony" and criticized Zhang Yimou for saying things like "After the fifth generation of directors abandoned the theme of scars, they no longer needed tools like movies. They have an elitist evaluation of the lower classes: all they see is ignorance" and "China's high-input, high-output blockbuster operation model has gradually lost the imagination of the Chinese people. This loss of thinking is very sad."

He doesn't even take Zhang Yimou seriously. In comparison, what level is Hu Xijin?
Tear it up if I say so!
Well, there are 12 responses, and one of them mentioned the two movies "Dying to Survive" and "Nobody". I also watched them and was very moved...

Originally it had nothing to do with Shen Liang - just to eat some melons and increase the attention of "Nobody"...

The bad thing is that he once commented on Jia Zhangke during a live broadcast, and what he said was not good: "After watching "Still Life", you don't need to watch his movies, because none of them can compare to this one. I don't know what he has been doing all these years!"

This sentence is nothing. There is another sentence: "It seems that after he became famous, his sensitivity to the times and society has dropped sharply. He can't even perceive the main contradictions now..."

'In addition, Jia Zhangke's films do not portray the lower classes, but the marginalized people. It can be said that he is a kind of humanistic concern, or he can be said to be a flattering subject matter. It depends on where you stand... If you want to see the lower classes, I recommend "Marshal Ma" and "The Happy Life of Poor Mouth Zhang Damin"...'

'I don't know why some people are so indignant saying that he has stood up to "speak" for the lower class. Are the lower class in your family thieves, miners who traffic in human beings, demolition thugs, gangsters, all kinds of murderers and street urchins?
Besides, it is unavoidable to say that people at the bottom of society can find joy in misery, but it is not necessary to praise them, right? '

This part was found by someone with a keen eye and became a hot topic…

Shen Liang simply posted on Weibo: "These are what I said during the live broadcast. These were my views two years ago. Of course, my views are still the same now... I didn't like Jia Zhangke's movies before, and I still don't like them now... It's that simple. Director Jia is welcome to criticize!"
