I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 287 Contact First (14)

Shen Liang doesn't have any hobbies.

Fishing, skewers, tea...

None of this has anything to do with him.

I have no interest in going to nightclubs or discos.

In fact, he is not a person who devotes his whole heart to music!

When you have free time, you can either do some exercise or do some live streaming - it’s serious exercise, it’s important to maintain a healthy body!

Then... my only hobby is probably eating something special...

After arriving in Wuhan, I tried several representative types of Chu cuisine.

Now, when Nini told me there was a delicious roadside stall, I immediately swallowed the words I had prepared: "Let's go and try it!"

"…Should we invite Oda and the others to join us?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "Let's call them. Also call Jiang Qiming, Liu Duanduan, and Peng Peng. It will be easy for rumors to spread if we go alone!"

Nini is speechless...

Do you still care about gossip?

Hugging and kissing Nini in front of so many people in the crew...

Why didn't you consider the scandal at that time?

I couldn't help but say, "...Brother, rumors about us are almost everywhere!"

“…There is no evidence. No pictures means no truth…”

“With pictures!”

"That was during the filming. I was in character... I was in character!"

"…So, when I'm filming a couple scene with you, I have to accompany you into the scene every night?"

"That's definitely not the case!" Shen Liang said quickly, "I've only filmed a few movies, and there are only two or three with emotional scenes..."

"I don't believe you..."

Shen Liang quickly called the actors over, about ten of them, plus four or five staff members who wanted to join in the fun...

When we got there, there were too many people!
There's no way to squeeze in.

The external contact who followed over said: "I know the boss here, I'll ask him to vacate two tables!"

"Well, that's great, thank you for your help!"

Oh, generally the crew’s external contacts are people who have some influence in the local area!

On the surface, the external producer is responsible for contacting relevant social personnel and venues, and coordinating relevant external resources. This may be as big as going to the relevant departments to approve the venue, or as small as contacting vehicles.

Without some connections, you can’t do external liaisons at all!

In a word, external liaisons are usually people from society who help the crew to settle issues.

He has two different faces. He is usually warm and friendly when dealing with people, and greets everyone with a smile. But when he meets someone causing trouble, then... haha.

When the crew is filming outside, they may encounter all kinds of situations!

Let’s not talk about the past, let’s talk about the new drama "I Am a Criminal Police" starring Yu Hewei. It was an episode in early 2022. When it was being filmed at a restaurant in Hegang, the workers piled up snow at the door according to the script requirements. Everything was ready. Suddenly, a group of people came and said that they had contracted the snow removal work on this street and wanted to take away the accumulated snow.

No matter how the crew explained that they had permission to shoot, they just refused to agree!
"Whether you take pictures or not is none of our business, there can't be snow on the streets."

Later, they even called in more than 20 people to surround the restaurant.

If it were an ordinary crew, they would most likely lose some money directly - if the crew was delayed for one day, the loss would be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!

Fu Yan, the external liaison of "I'm a Criminal Police", brought people to block the snow pile and used both soft and hard tactics, and the filming went smoothly.

The external contact for "Want to See You" is from a local film and television company in Wuhan. Wuhan is the city with the most cinema chains in China, including CGV, Lotte, Broadway, and Orange Sky Golden Harvest... 28 cinema chains, with 88 theaters in Wuhan, with a total of more than screens, ranking among the top eight in the country in terms of the number of screens...

There are still many film and television companies.

...three pots of braised prawns with oil, a few cold dishes...and braised dishes, and start eating.

Peng Peng suddenly asked, "Brother Liang, are you going to record "Mars" tomorrow?"

"…Well, it's not good to miss two sessions!"

"Great!"

"what happened?"

"I really like 'Mars Intelligence Agency'...I watch every episode!"

"...Thank you." Shen Liang glanced at him: "...Do you want to go?"

"I don't want to... I feel like that show isn't very friendly to newcomers!"

Shen Liang shook his head: "It's not aimed at newcomers... It's aimed at everyone. The jokes you tell are boring, just boring... There is no fake smile!"

"I've also watched 'Mars Intelligence Agency'..." Nini interrupted, "You said on the show that Chen Kun caused Mango TV to lose 600 million yuan. Is that true?"

“…A chain reaction, but The Rise of Phoenixes really screwed Mango TV so badly that it even lost the title of prime time…”

"Why do you hate Chen Kun so much?"

Shen Liang sighed and said something: "The original novel of The Rise of Phoenixes is called The Phoenix Power. When the original author sold the copyright, he sold it at a price lower than the market average in exchange for the qualification to participate in the script production...

Then, Chen Kun came in as the screenwriter and kicked the original author out of the crew directly.

Nini was surprised: "Huh?"

Shen Liang then added: "My mother hates him too. He has no substance, but pretends to be profound. He says things he doesn't even understand, pretends to be very carefree, and says that he has a very high pursuit of acting. But in fact, his words are empty. He can't express a complete, smooth and logical sentence clearly, and he has made many bad movies... My mother's original words!"

Peng Peng couldn't help but ask, "What does Auntie do?"

"She previously worked in distribution at China Film Group, and now she is mainly responsible for post-production..."

"Who is that uncle?"

"He's in the cinema system..." At this point, Shen Liang realized something: "Hey, aren't you a loyal viewer of "Mars"? I mentioned it once in "Mars"!"

“…I forgot…”

Shen Liang changed the subject: "Peng Peng, do you have the contact information of Gao Yitian, the producer of "An Elephant Sitting Still"? "

"Teacher Gao...Yes, are you looking for him?"

"Yes," Shen Liang nodded: "I have a concept that I would like to ask him to plan!"

Nini was puzzled: "Gao Yitian?"

Peng Peng explained: "Teacher Gao is the curator of the FIRST Film Festival... He helped us find the distributor for our film "An Elephant Sitting Still"..."

Nini asked Shen Liang: "How do you know him?"

"I don't know him..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "I just think this person is interesting... When he accepted the award for "An Elephant Sitting Still", he said the word 'unification'..."

Peng Peng also laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, he said 'Movies can transcend language, it can make language become -' unified'. When he said the word unified at the end, he deliberately dragged out his accent!"

Shen Liang sighed: "What a pity that the flow is limited!"

“…Did he really say that?”

"Um…"

Nini immediately asked, "So what kind of movie did you ask him to make?"

"I haven't thought about it yet..." Shen Liang scratched his head: "Such an interesting person, let's build a relationship first, and then we can decide what specific movie to make!"

"…You haven't thought it through yet, or you have no idea?"

"I have a few ideas. Please give me some advice..."

Shen Liang couldn't stand the provocation and directly gave two story outlines, which weren't really story outlines, but just... the general idea...
