I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 290 Movie Party (44)

"Are you kidding? Who can I play?"

After taking a quick look at the script, Xin Shuang suggested that Shen Liang also play a role, but Shen Liang directly rejected it.

"The Bad Kids", which role suits him?
Zhang Dongsheng or Zhu Chaoyang?

Xin Shuang smiled and said, "You can change Zhang Dongsheng's age to a younger one..."

"Then there will be no impact... Thirty-five to forty years old is the best..."

"Middle-aged men..." Xin Shuang nodded: "Indeed, middle-aged men themselves have identity dilemmas..."

"The actors must be chosen well... I recommend Qin Hao to play Zhang Dongsheng!"

"...Okay, I'll get in touch..."

"If you're worried about the right to speak, I'll ask my mom to contact the production company to see if we can invest..."

Xin Shuang nodded: "That couldn't be better..."

Come to think of it, Xin Shuang is a novice director after all...

"Hey," Shen Liang remembered something: "Is this considered overlapping roles?"

Xin Shuang was stunned for a moment, then retorted: "How can I be considered to be overlapping with other projects? This project is just a preliminary contact..."

“…I have to finish the post-production of “Want to See You” before I can start working on this project…”

"I know!"

Xin Shuang was speechless, and then asked: "Do you think Nini is willing to act in this drama?"

Shen Liang scratched his head: "...It's hard to say, the script is a good one, but the value of the female characters is not high... Let me ask for you!"

"...Hmm..." Xin Shuang hesitated for a second before finally asking, "When will you and Nini go public?"

Shen Liang was puzzled: "What are you going to make public?"

"A romance...you two are living together!"

Shen Liang said seriously: "That's just a superficial phenomenon. Our relationship is more like that of classmates, the kind where we encourage each other..."

(←_←)
Xin Shuang showed this expression...

"You're not an actor, you don't understand..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "Don't mention this anymore!"

That is, Shen Liang worked very hard. He had to tutor her in art every day, accompany her in practicing art theory, and nurture her artistic potential...

Finally achieve common progress!
……

Back in the room, Shen Liang told Nini about "The Hidden Corner"...

“Is the script a good one?”

"Of course... If it wasn't a good script, would I have the nerve to approach you?"

Nini nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to act..."

Shen Liang was surprised: "For this kind of thing, don't you contact your agent?"

"Would you lie to me?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment: "...it depends on the situation..."

Nini was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "Why would you lie to me?"

"Well," Shen Liang picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and then said, "I told you it's safe, nothing will happen... In fact, I don't know if anything will happen!"

"... "

Nini rolled her eyes: "You think I know?"

"...I don't want a thick barrier between us..." Shen Liang was talking when he suddenly realized something: "Ah? You know?"

"...I'm not stupid...and I like it myself," Nini waved her hand: "Is there anything else?"

"Then... no more!" "Look, you said it's a good work, I must act in it..." At this point, Nini smiled bitterly: "I've been in the industry for almost eight years, and my masterpiece is still the debut work "The Flowers of War"... As an actor, I'm such a failure!"

Shen Liang couldn't stand people who were pretentious, so he asked directly, "...You got paid nearly 100 million for a play, and you call this a failure?"

"I'm talking about good works!" Nini picked up her phone: "If you search my name online now, the headlines are all like 'Both of them were Mou girls, Zhou Dongyu won the Best Actress award, but she couldn't even get a nomination...' I'm such a failure!"

"…You shouldn't think like that. You should think, 'We are both actresses, but why is Zhou Dongyu so… ordinary!'"

"Is Zhou Dongyu ordinary?"

"No breasts, no butt..." After thinking for a while, Shen Liang simply said, "Before, Chen Kexin contacted me and asked me to act in a movie. When I heard that the heroine was Zhou Dongyu, I refused without a second thought!"

"…real?"

"Of course it's true. The movie is called "Better Days"... It tells the story of a gangster and a high school girl..."

……

The drama "Knowing or Not" is very important to Mango TV!

This matter can be traced back to the summer movie "The Rise of Phoenixes"...

Adapted from the popular novel "Phoenix Power", it has a certain fan base...

Mango TV is betting big on this drama - it is said that it spent a huge amount of 6 million to purchase it, and it will be broadcasted exclusively on the Golden Eagle Theater!

The result...even the ratings were dismal...

Although the cast is luxurious, the plot is too "grand" and thus difficult for the audience to accept.

Many viewers said the drama was difficult to understand and lacked affinity.

On the contrary, dramas such as "Ashes of Love" are more popular with the audience.

The lowest ratings of "The Rise of Phoenixes" were only 0.1%, and it continued to fall out of the top 10, setting a record for the lowest ratings for Mango TV in 10 years.

To make matters worse, due to the low ratings, "The Rise of Phoenixes" had to be urgently edited to 56 episodes and ended hastily.

——“The Rise of Phoenixes” is really an epic drama. It was released on three major platforms at the same time. It was released for 14 days and 21 episodes were broadcast. The total number of views was 5.9 million. (It is roughly the number of views of “Story of Yanxi Palace” in one day…

However, the audience was diverted to other satellite TV stations, such as Jiangsu Satellite TV's "Ashes of Love" and Beijing Satellite TV's "Mother's Way". Subsequent high-quality period dramas such as "A Flowing River" and "A Flowing River" further weakened Mango TV's ratings.

By the way, although "Mother's Way" is rubbish, its ratings are really high.

It can be said that the drama "Knowing or Not" carries the heavy responsibility of helping Mango TV regain its lost ground!
The cards are full, and Mango TV has used almost all its channel resources to promote it...

Not only that, they also called the main creators to have a movie viewing party...

Well, actually it’s investment promotion - a bunch of advertising brands were also invited, after all, the prime-time sponsorship had to be regained!
Shen Liang originally didn't plan to participate - he wasn't the lead actor.

But Zhao Liying was pregnant and couldn't attend, and Feng Shaofeng... was not a big topic.

In addition, two brands are interested in sponsoring the Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater: Xiangpiaopiao Milk Tea and Junlebao…

Everyone is interested in signing Shen Liang!
Shen Liang has already contacted Junlebao and specially designed an advertising slogan: Junlebao old yogurt, does not contain leather shoes!

Ok, that's just kidding...

But... forget about endorsing Xiangpiaopiao—he doesn’t like milk tea.

But several high-level executives of Mango TV took turns calling him...

It's really hard to refuse.

Fortunately, Wuhan is not too far from Changsha, so I took two days off—not only to watch the film, but also to promote "Base Camp"...

Arriving in Changsha, he was picked up by a staff member from Mango TV. Shen Liang got in the car and casually called He Jiong to "complain": "I'm the second male lead, and I don't have many scenes, and they asked me to do publicity... Really, I've never heard of it!"

“…Who made you more popular?”

He Jiong chuckled and asked, "You didn't call me to talk about this, did you?"

"…I can't hide it from Teacher He," Shen Liang was a little embarrassed: "I have to go on "Big Camp" tonight, is Teacher Xie here today?"
