I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 280 "The Climber"? (24)

How do idol stars transform correctly?

Xie Tingfeng actually provided a perfect route - moving closer to an action actor.

"New Police Story", "Dragon Tiger Gate", "True Men"... together with Emperor Entertainment Group's strong publicity capabilities, established Jackie Chan's title as the successor in the field of "action movies".

domestic…

Why don’t young actors follow suit?

Well, because they never reached the transition period, most of them have disappeared - either they were in jail or were banned from speaking.

Shen Liang himself is very interested in action movies...

Moreover, action movies have a market all over the world!

The plot of "The Evil Dead" is very simple. The core content is to fight violence with violence - the gangster boss and the police work together to kill the serial killer...

Is it really as smooth as it seems when the gangs and the police join forces to catch the murderous devil?

Of course not. No one is a fool. Both sides have their own ideas and have set up traps for each other.

The gangster boss arranged for his subordinates to kill another gang leader with the serial killer's knife, killing two birds with one stone, eliminating his competitor and disrupting the police's attention.

However, there were too many fingerprints on the knife to serve as sufficient evidence. For the smooth progress of the case, the police chose to turn a blind eye and shield the gang.

Violent police, lawless gang leaders, and heinous serial killers...

But if Hong Kong films + Silver are introduced, then there will be no problem.

Silver Capital is the only large-scale state-owned film company in China’s overseas film industry. In recent years, it has released a large number of Hong Kong films with large scale, such as the “SPL” series and the “Drug War” series…

These movies are all Class 2 films in Hong Kong!

……

Shen Liang is very efficient, he does it as soon as he thinks of it...

The next day after the wrap party, he contacted Wu Jing—not because he thought Wu Jing was suitable for the role in "The Devil", but because he wanted to contact director Chen Musheng through him...

Well, even though he doesn't even have a script yet and hasn't even considered casting, he can't wait any longer...

I plan to contact Chen Musheng, provide some creative ideas, and then have him coordinate the filming, preferably in time for next year’s summer schedule!

What? It’s almost November, and you’re still thinking about next year’s summer season?
Haha, "The New King of Comedy" has just started filming - they have already booked it for next year's Spring Festival...

For Hong Kong directors, especially those who are used to their jobs, it is normal for them to make two or three movies a year!

When Chen Musheng debuted, the golden age of Hong Kong movies was already coming to an end, but he still managed to make two movies a year ("The Sky of Mongkok", "Happy Hour") and a TV series ("Fist of Fury")...

Back to the call, before Shen Liang could speak, Wu Jing asked directly: "Where are you?"

"In the car!"

"In the car?"

Shen Liang explained: "My movie has finished filming, and I will go to Changsha to record a variety show tomorrow..."

"Changsha..." Wu Jing on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, then said: "I have a play here and I want to find you..."

"A play? A movie?"

"Yeah...Have you ever heard of climbing Mount Everest?"

Then Wu Jing talked about receiving a film assignment from Shanghai Film Studio...

Well, it’s The Climbers, also known as Everest Love Story…

"The Climber" will definitely be made into "Everest Love Story" because you have Zhang Ziyi!
With Zhang Ziyi, it is impossible not to give her time to appear...

Then, an extremely awkward love scene was added...

There is no way, female characters are naturally at a disadvantage in this kind of plot - there is no room for them to play, and they can only add some love scenes...

Wu Jing on the other end of the phone had almost finished explaining the whole story - Shanghai Film Studio Ren Zhonglun invited him to join...

Ask Shen Liang: "…What do you think?"

“…I may not have time!” Shen Liang had no interest in this version of “The Climber”…

To put it bluntly, this is a bad movie!
He is now at the peak of his career and can organize his own projects.

Why would you still act in a movie if you know it's a bad one?
Wu Jing wanted to persuade him: "No time? Our movie will only take two months at most..."

"But I will be joining the crew of a TV series next week, and then I will have a movie and a TV series to shoot..."

"Why film a TV series? Come act in a movie!"

“…I have signed the contract…”

“…Alas, I was thinking of working with you again.”

"There is a chance..."

After making sure to do it next time, Shen Liang finally had time to ask Wu Jing about contacting director Chen Musheng.

"Director Chen Musheng? Why are you looking for him?"

“I have an idea…”

Shen Liang spoke of his idea for "The Evil One" without hesitation - he wasn't worried about Wu Jing stealing his idea...

After Wu Jing heard this, he immediately asked back, "What's the matter? Do you want to play that serial killer?"

“…Just tell me if Director Chen Musheng would be interested in this story?”

"…I think so…but Chen Musheng's team is still quite expensive."

"It's not like I'm paying... I just want to work with Director Chen Musheng. I think Tengxun Pictures and Yindu Organization should be interested!"

"...For a subject like this, we really need to find Yindu... How about this, Director Chen will come to BJ the day after tomorrow. If you have time, you can come... I'll make an appointment for you."

"That's great... Thank you, Brother Jing. I'll treat you to a drink when we get to BJ..."

Shen Liang said a few words of thanks and was about to hang up when Wu Jing suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute... Could this be the movie you were talking about?"

"...Yes," Shen Liang nodded, and asked, "Any questions?"

"Didn't you say your schedule was tight?"

"It's very tight. I'll be joining the crew right after the TV series is over..."

"You haven't even found a director yet, but you've already set a start time?"

Shen Liang didn't care: "...What's the big deal? If he doesn't want to direct, just find another director. There are plenty of directors in the Hong Kong film industry... And this kind of action-packed film is the specialty of Hong Kong directors..."

He doesn't do it, some people do it...

“…So, you really don’t want to film “Climbing Everest”?”

"My age is not suitable for this kind of subject matter... I think you can ask Duan Yihong!"

Hearing this, Wu Jing was silent for a while, then said: "...I'll think about it."

"Well... I'm at the airport. Let's talk next time!"

……

The Climbers is a bad movie...

Moreover, even if Shen Liang wanted to participate in improving the plot, he had no place to start and no right to do so!

Again, Zhang Ziyi’s role is redundant.

If I don’t want to act, then I won’t act. Then Shen Liang thought that next year is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, so a series of tribute films will be made…

"My Motherland and Me", "The Captain", "The Climbers", "Calling Moment" (directed by Huang Jianxin), "Gutian Bugle", "Liberation: Final Rescue"...

Shen Liang must star in one!
Most likely it should be "My Motherland and Me", after all, he is very close to Ning Hao and his gang...

When the time comes, just take some time to participate.

Or... give Wen Muye a call?
