I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 342 Why did Sister Blind suddenly look so pretty? (33)

The Untamed…

In the category of gay dramas, it can be considered a masterpiece!

The original novel, "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation", is indeed a rare work even if we put aside its BL theme...

Moreover, this drama raked in over 1.5 million yuan in advance on-demand viewing, and the cumulative number of views on a single platform exceeded 53 billion, including the sales of the OST, which also exceeded 2100 million!
"Miss You"... This summer is difficult!
"Youngsters of the Song Dynasty", "The Untamed", "The King's Avatar", "Squid Stewed in Honey"...

Fortunately, "Want to See You" starts airing today...

Shen Liang is very concerned about whether "The Untamed" can be broadcast - it is related to the promotion of "A Sun"!
Just think about it, three top stars collaborating on a drama!

This is fucking going to be a huge success on the first day...

Shen Liang went to the science fiction forum, and Guo Fan was there too. He first talked about the performance issues in The Wandering Earth: "I read a lot of feedback about The Wandering Earth, saying that the characterization of the two leading actors was not realistic enough.

In fact, the main reason is that we haven’t found a balance point…

When I was shooting it, I didn’t have a complete concept for the performance or the movie!
"Interstellar" is a science fiction film shot as a documentary, and the presentation in all aspects is realistic, so Matthew McConaughey can perform in a realistic way, but problems arise when our external conditions are not met.

The way of acting is determined by the environment. In fact, on the fifth day of filming The Wandering Earth, Shen Liang felt something was wrong. He took the initiative to suggest that it be a little more exaggerated and a little more childish... But when it comes to specific adjustments, I need to make the judgment. It is still difficult to get the degree of acting right... So, it's all my fault!"

The host handed the microphone to Shen Liang: "Brother Liang, what do you want to say?"

"Old Guo is right, that's his problem!" Shen Liang took the microphone: "The main reason is that we have no experience... we can only grope our way..."

"I heard that The Wandering Earth 2 and Underworld are already in preparation?"

Guo Fan nodded: "He criticized the script of The Wandering Earth 2... He asked me if I was crazy..."

Shen Liang explained: "With over 200,000 words and three plots, it would take at least five hours to tell the story... I suggested that he split it into two parts... He refused, saying that he wanted to let the audience have a full meal in one go!"

"So...how did you solve it?"

Guo Fan: "Everyone in our crew voted and unanimously agreed to split it into two episodes...but shoot them together..."

At this point, Guo Fan sighed: "In the crew, he is better at talking than me, even Brother Jing supports him!"

Shen Liang quickly interrupted: "Don't say that, people will think I'm trying to seize power... Let me make it clear that I am not acting in The Wandering Earth 2, I'm just an investor!"

The two of them joked around for a while, and then it was Teng Huitao's turn. He praised the visual effects of "Shanghai Fortress" and his own team...

Then he said, "The most important thing about science fiction movies is not the technology itself, but the establishment of an industrial system. How to promote the continuous maturity of the system is the direction that local science fiction movies must strive for in the development process."

When it came to the question-and-answer session, I first asked about Netflix’s purchase of The Wandering Earth…

Guo Fan was about to speak when Shen Liang answered, "I watched the Netflix version. The key content was muted. For example, in the climax, when the countries jointly rescued each other, the Japanese, English, and Spanish versions deleted the voices of the rescue teams from various countries, leaving only the Russians and Chinese... They directly eliminated the theme of a community with a shared future for mankind and forcibly shaped this movie into a Chinese mainstream movie... This operation is quite shameless!"

"Maybe it's because American movies tend to promote personal heroism..."

Shen Liang looked at the interviewer's ID card, which clearly said 'Caixin.com', and smiled: "... No wonder..."

Oh, Teng Kaitao also boasted that "Shanghai Fortress" is a hard science fiction, heavy industry film...

It is understandable that the popularity of "The Wandering Earth" has made terms such as "hard science fiction" and "heavy industry film" deeply rooted in people's minds. When promoting a movie, it is of course necessary to use popular words.

"If The Wandering Earth is a poem, very romantic, then Shanghai Fortress might be a harder science fiction, a harder science fiction war film. It is real, after all, aliens have invaded. It is a head-on fight with aliens in Shanghai, a Jedi counterattack!" So, is the presence or absence of aliens an indicator of the hardness of science fiction?

"The Wandering Earth": No aliens, it's surprisingly soft!
"Pili Beibei": There are no aliens, but aliens have transformed the earthlings, slightly hard;

"Ultraman": Each episode has an alien that only appears for three minutes, and it's semi-hard;
Shanghai Fortress: There are aliens, it’s tougher…

"Wesley", "Marvel", "Men in Black" and "Avatar": there are always aliens, as hard as steel!

……

"The Best of Times" is also a Yi Shu drama.

This IP can be regarded as a representative work among all the works of Yi Shu. In 88, a movie was made into it, directed by Yang Fan and starring Maggie Cheung and Cherie Chung!

But...the character Zhu Suosuo, in the original novel, relies almost entirely on her beauty to rely on men to get to the top.

Therefore, during the adaptation process of the TV series, the screenwriter "whitewashed" Suosuo.

The first step is to strengthen Suosuo's suffering of living under someone else's roof, her aunt's petty thoughts, and her father's unreliability. The second step is to rationalize Suosuo's "worship of money", first through Mr. Ma's emotional deception to complete the character's growth, and then through dialogue to find a "rich son-in-law" to a reasonable choice of spouse. The third step is to strengthen Suosuo's personality design as a spirited little fairy, and strengthen the character's career line.

From Suosuo's several requests for interviews to her smart and frank performance after joining the company, Suosuo's independent and tenacious side was further emphasized.

Forget it, I won’t write about this drama anymore, I haven’t watched it anyway!
However, Nini is very serious about this drama - it was created by the original team of "My First Half of Life", and even invited Director Chen to make a guest appearance.

In fact, the original novel of "The Golden Years" is told from the perspective of Jiang Nansun, but the TV adaptation focuses more on Zhu Suosuo...

In addition, in a drama with two female protagonists, who is the first female protagonist?
So, Shen Liang was surprised to see Liu Shishi following behind Nini...

Nini introduced: "This is Liu Shishi!"

“…Hello, I’m Shen Liang!”

Shen Liang quickly stood up and asked them to sit down.

"What to eat?"

"What did you order?"

"...I ordered local dishes...Shanghainese dishes, shrimp, black sea cucumber, foie gras sauce slices...and yellow croaker, fried shrimp, lard...Oh, I cancelled this dish..."

I am from a minority ethnic group and I don’t eat pork…

Blind Sister quickly said: "It's okay, you guys eat, I'll just watch..."

Shen Liang looked at Nini, who said, "No need to retreat..."

"How is the filming of "The Golden Years" going?"

"It's OK," Nini said casually, "I said I wanted to have dinner with you, but she insisted on coming over to eat... Don't stare at her like that, it's rude!"

“No, I just think it’s magical…”

Shen Liang quickly retracted his gaze and explained, "I really like "The Strange Hero Yizhimei"..."

Well, Shen Liang was actually surprised—Xia Jie wasn’t this pretty before!
