I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 351: Not Too Daring (33)

In fact, Yang Zi chose "My Mowgli Boy"...

This is understandable. After all, this drama, like "Squid!", is invested by Times Film and Television Company.

Yang Zi is not a shareholder of this company, but her mother, Ms. Ma, is the fourth largest shareholder!

Last year's "Ashes of Love" was a huge success, and the investors behind it also made a lot of money. One of the producers, Times Entertainment, became the darling of the capital market and received a 3 million film and television fund established by Zhong Hongji Investment Holding Group.

Moreover, Yang Zi... is on the rise and has no shortage of invitations to high-quality scripts.

It was at this time that she was found in "The Legend of the Golden Hairpin".

S+ level ancient costume drama was a treatment that only a few movie stars and 85 flowers could enjoy in the past!

So, I was only slightly annoyed, but I still helped promote the movie seriously - I @沈良 on Weibo and asked him to spoil the plot...

It also added a lot of popularity to "Want to See You"!

She has a pretty good relationship with Shen Liang, they are friends who can argue with each other...

So, Shen Liang opened his mouth and said, "...Zi Mei, hello!"

Yang Zi on the other end of the phone immediately got angry: "Call me sister, who is your sister..."

"These are all trivial matters... just a name," Shen Liang went straight to the point: "'Honey Stewed Squid' is about to start airing, did you know?"

“…I know. It’s next Saturday!”

"Honey Stewed Squid" will be broadcast on July 7, following "Study Abroad with Dad"...

Shen Liang continued: "You have to take care of the promotional activities. I really can't spare the time..."

“…What do you mean?”

"It means literally..."

"You can do it!"

"We are discussing this..."

"You are notifying me, not discussing with me!"

Shen Liang sighed: "I have no choice... I really can't spare the time."

“Too busy or too popular?”

"...Hey, it depends on how you understand..."

Yang Zi was a little speechless: "Okay, I get it!"

"Excuse me, sister Zi, let's go back to BJ and I'll treat you to a meal!"

“…Call me sister…Hello, hey, hey…You bastard…hang up the phone!”

Without hearing Yang Zi's angry voice, Shen Liang turned off his phone and looked at Chen Jiadong. The latter had no intention of turning around and leaving, which meant that he had something else to do!
Sure enough, I heard Chen Jiadong continue: "Youku released eight episodes of The Longest Day in Chang'an at one time, and the reputation is very good."

"… poses a threat to "Want to See You"?"

Chen Jiadong immediately shook his head: "That's not the case... They are not of the same type at all... And even if they are of the same type, the quality is similar. Youku's current monthly active users are far behind Tencent..."

"Then why are you telling me this?"

“…The Yiyang migration momentum is quite strong…”

"He was born in the 00s, and I was born in the 95s. We are not on the same track..."

Chen Jiadong nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something: "...There is one more thing."

"What's wrong?"

"…acting variety shows, you know that, right?"

Shen Liang said as a matter of course: "I know, it's from I Am an Actor!"

"Tengxun is also planning to produce an acting variety show... and invites you to be the host."

“I thought I was invited to be a mentor…”

"Then we refuse?"

"Refuse it... just wait a moment!"

Chen Jiadong was confused: "You won't agree, right? I don't have time, and the production team... has nothing to do with me..."

"I have an idea... Can we find a group of mentors and have each of them lead a team to rehearse a play?"

“…drama?”

"Yes, we will find a group of mentors from the People's Art Theater, and invite all the four great masters of the People's Art Theater..."

Chen Jiadong wrote it down: "Then I will discuss it with the production team?" "Well... the program is called "The Inheritance of Actors"..."

……

Well, Shen Liang doesn’t really like “Infinite Beyond Class”…

What era is this? Why are we still treating Hong Kong actors as myths (kowtowing to them)?

——I watched an episode of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One", it was awkward, boring, chaotic, and there was no basic shot rhythm!

Blame it?

Is it the actors’ fault?
Haha, the audience has no idea whether the actor has acting skills or not?

Whoever is in command is responsible!
A bunch of so-called mentors, one after another, take themselves too seriously, pointing fingers, and directing the actors, really thinking of themselves as mentors in the industry...

As a result, what kind of thing was presented?
Of course, one good thing about "Infinite Beyond Class" is that it makes all the audience understand one thing: it is really easy to get into the domestic entertainment industry. You don’t need acting skills, as long as you have a background.

But…compared to the likes of Yuan Yongyi and Er Dongsheng who use money to show off, Shen Liang really thinks it’s better to find a mentor from the People’s Art Theatre…

Especially Yuan Yongyi, when he was young, he was even more arrogant than the current young stars.

Jackie Chan's Thunderbolt was finished, and he needed to reshoot a few scenes. He notified Yuan Yongyi, but she was so willful that she didn't show up, causing Jackie Chan and other crew members to wait for a whole day in vain...

Hong Kong actors, especially those TVB actors who are a bit famous, act like big names when they come to the mainland. They get uncomfortable at any time and stop filming for a day...

The so-called "Infinite Beyond Class" is to find a group of old men who are too old to film, and in the name of education, get together with a group of new generation young actors from the mainland who are not very popular and have no movies to shoot, but are controversial, to see if they can become popular and generate some traffic.

It would be better to ask those old guys from the National Theatre of China to come!

The Four King Kongs: Liang Guanhua, Pu Cunxin, Wu Gang, Feng Yuanzheng, plus He Bing, Hu Jun, Chen Xiaoyi, Yang Lixin…

Another of the older generation is Teacher Lu Zong.

Which one of them is not better than those out-of-date actors?

……

"Come on, let's continue rehearsing!"

Walking back into the recording studio, Shen Liang smiled and clapped his hands. Zhang Hanyun really wanted to ask him what happened... but she felt that their relationship had not reached that point... so she just focused on singing.

After rehearsing four times, Shen Liang felt that it was almost done: "Okay, let's go get some midnight snack, and then take our seats..."

"Is that all right?"

“…I don’t want to take up too much of your time…”

"It's okay, our second performance is purely vocal..."

"Oh, what are you singing?"

“Your “Flowering Road”…”

"…"Flowers Along the Way"… Then who will sing "Sadly and Beautiful"? "

Zhang Hanyun smiled: "Li Si's group..."

Shen Liang immediately asked: "Why are you laughing? Do you think "Sadly" is difficult to sing?"

"Yeah, it's really hard to sing... they can't keep the beat!"

"Just use the backhand of the second shot to get it in... It's really hard to get it in... I was relatively young at the time, and I was only doing fancy moves, so I wanted to do something different..."

Zhang Hanyun continued: "You don't play with technology anymore?"

"I'm not pursuing these things now. "Sadly" is not actually real. I just made it up densely so that the audience doesn't have to think about whether it's true or not. Even if it's fake, it sounds like a seamless emotion..."

“…I don’t quite understand it, but the more I listen to “Flowers Along the Way” the more I feel it…”

"Thank you."

Zhang Hanyun asked casually: "…Have you started recording your second album?"

“…recording it right now, just like last year, and preparing to release it in September!”

"Then I'm really looking forward to it...I tried to draw your physical album last year, but I didn't win it!"

"…I have a few trays in stock, do you want some?"

"Of course I do!"

Oh, Shen Liang had no intention of flirting at all, just pure communication...

He knew a little about Zhang Hanyun. This young lady was a little love-sick, so he didn't dare to provoke her.

The two walked and talked until they reached the cafeteria... A few sisters were also eating supper. They were probably halfway through rehearsal. When they saw Shen Liang and Zhang Hanyun, they called them over: "Come over, eat together!"
