I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 36 Popularizing Chinese Aesthetics
“Chinese aesthetics… This is easy to understand, right? It just conforms to the aesthetics of the Chinese people!”

“…Let me give you an example. The fantasy movies that Hong Kong has made in recent years are all called oriental mythology, oriental fairy tales, oriental fantasy and oriental martial arts movies, but the art aesthetics are all “neither Chinese nor Western” fantasy movies…

The most typical examples are "Legend of the Gods" and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven"... They still have the nerve to advertise how many billions they spent on special effects... I am really impressed. Even I am a layman and I know that they directly used the templates of the special effects company, which cost only a few million at most..."

"Under the slogans of Chinese mythology, Chinese fairy tales, Chinese martial arts and Chinese fantasy? Where exactly is this "East" reflected?"

"We took this into consideration when designing the art for The Wandering Earth. We definitely didn't want to be Hollywood-like, but had to conform to our aesthetic habits...Our director Guo Fan assembled a completely industrialized team to design all the props in the plot one by one...From the very beginning, we referred to the Soviet heavy industry style..."

"Because the Soviet Union's heavy industry is connected to us. We have some knowledge of this thing and feel familiar with it. This is called the Bolshevik Aesthetics Unification Alliance..."

“In The Wandering Earth, facing the extreme environment and a 100-generation wandering plan, the world’s human beings must unite. Each underground city is like a vast worker’s village where millions of people live together, eating, living, going to school, and celebrating the New Year together, forming a community with a shared future… From this concept, there is nothing wrong with the Soviet-style heavy industry aesthetics!”

"Of course, we call these exoskeletons, protective shields, and protective clothing designs red heavy industrial mechanical style..."

Shen Liang showed the crew's concept map very straightforwardly and asked, "Is there anything that can be done?"

"Let me tell you my requirements. First, the quality must meet the standards. Second, our crew has no money. You'd better ask for less money, or even sponsor for free..."

“Why can I be so shameless… You can come to our “The Wandering Earth” crew to feel everyone’s enthusiasm. I’ve even played the leading role for free…”

"I'm definitely optimistic about this drama, otherwise, why would I act in it? Although I've never acted in a drama, my judgment of a drama has never been wrong... I'm giving you the opportunity to sponsor a Chinese science fiction film that may go down in film history. What do you call this? This is called an opportunity! Are you expecting Youzu's The Three-Body Problem to create a miracle?"

"The only film that can create miracles is The Wandering Earth... Believe it or not, I'll just say this: Guo Fan has spent all the money of the crew for these films, and Wanda is even preparing to withdraw its investment!"

"It's normal for Wanda to withdraw its investment. They have no money..."

"I will continue recording "Mars" tomorrow... I have finished shooting the MV here, the heroine is Zhao Lusi... a very cute little girl..."

"We're just friends... I shot three music videos in four days, do you think I have time to mess around?... Besides, I never mess around... If you like someone, chase them! It's normal for men and women to love each other. No, do you think I'm a virgin? I've had three girlfriends..."

"They are all outside the circle... not from Communication University of China... I never eat grass near my home. My three ex-girlfriends were from the dance academy, the foreign language academy, and the music academy..."

"Why did we break up... I won't talk about this, after all, I am very serious about every relationship..."

"Changing the subject... Let's sing a song... Okay, what song do you want to hear?"

……

The live broadcast lasted for a full hour and a half, and Shen Liang sang five songs at the end...

By the way, no manufacturer has contacted him yet.

Shen Liang didn’t really care. In the original time and space, the mechanical exoskeleton equipment, protective clothing and space suits in the first part of The Wandering Earth were all provided by Weta Workshop in New Zealand…

Although the money given is not as generous as Hollywood blockbusters, the effect is not bad either.

There must be companies in China that can do these things well - in the second part, Aosha Intelligent joined, and both the quality and appearance are much higher than the first one!

But again, the reason why "The Wandering Earth 2" can attract so many companies to sponsor is mainly because "The Wandering Earth" became a success.

Otherwise, why would others believe you?

You said, "One shot, isn't that bold?"

Ahem… However, there is one thing that Shen Liang probably doesn’t know. After he became famous, many marketing accounts and self-media appeared in his live broadcast room…

Faithfully record every word he said, and then look for the highlights word by word!

So are there any highlights in today’s live broadcast?
Of course there are, first Huo Siyan, then the internal fighting of Mango TV… and finally the Chinese aesthetic…

Especially the part about Chinese aesthetics, which directly criticized all the fantasy blockbusters led by Hong Kong filmmakers!

Each point can be expanded into an article.

Moreover, the main purpose of marketing accounts is to take advantage of the popularity...

In the era of self-media and fragmentation, popularity changes too quickly. If you are not careful, you will be forgotten. Therefore, you must be quick to catch the attention of others!
The very next day, a bunch of articles with similar titles appeared in major public accounts and marketing accounts. When you clicked on them, you found that most of them were what Shen Liang said during the live broadcast.

When Chen Jiadong called Shen Liang, Shen Liang was discussing the issue with Ruth...

They both knew that after this separation, it would be difficult to have another chance.

Oh, Lu Si told Shen Liang that they only cared about sex but not their relationship...

It’s good. When traveling around the world, I like girls like this who are sensible. They know what to do and leave when they should. They won’t cling to each other. Everyone is happy...

Because of a moment of pleasure, and then want it for a lifetime?
What a joke...

A lifetime in the entertainment industry?
Is he mentally ill?
In the entertainment industry, there is only love at first sight, and at most a temporary relationship that lasts for one night or a few nights!
Hearing the phone ring, Lu Si took the phone and handed it to him. Shen Liang looked at the caller ID...it was Chen Jiadong...

Shen Liang said: "My assistant, I'll take it... Otherwise, you can go back to your room and clean up first... I guess your assistant is looking for you too!

Zhao Lusi thought about it, nodded, and put on her clothes...

In fact, I just bought Shen Liang’s coat, and his stockings and other things had been torn into pieces!

After she left the room, Shen Liang answered the phone...

Chen Jiadong hurriedly reported the situation, and Shen Liang roughly understood the whole incident. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Does the company have any opinions?"

"…What opinions can they have? You know our company never cares about these things…"

"What do you think?"

“…I think proper exposure is good for us, but it must be controlled within a certain range…”

Shen Liang nodded, and then said: "Well, continue..."

"However, regarding Hong Kong fantasy movies... I think you should talk less about this kind of topic in the future..."

“But I used to talk about this a lot when I was live streaming…”

"But you are different now. You should be more careful with your words and actions..."

"Fuck... I remember it!"
