I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 362 Finale (13)

Li Yitong...

The resources are really great!
She is indeed a resourceful person with connections and background, so it is easy for her to get a role in a drama. She can easily get resources that actors with bigger traffic cannot get, but the pay will not be that high.

If popularity is low, there won’t be as many business resources.

Some people say that she basically plays the leading female role in small productions.

Really not. "Sword Dynasty" is an S-level drama on iQiyi, and Feng Xiaogang was specially invited to be the producer. "Crane Hua Ting" is also S-level... The director is Yang Wenjun, and Yang's last work was "Empress of Fuyao"...

However, she is very good at maintaining her network. After filming "Beauty Without Borders", Xu Jizhou collaborated with her twice!

After filming "The Story of Yanxi Palace", she was asked to play the leading female role in "Heroes" directed by Yang Wenjun.

In fact, her acting skills are just so-so.

We strive for seamless entry into the crew and can produce five or six dramas a year.

It is a completely industrialized production and the performance is too formulaic.

But her performance in "Love Like a Bouquet" was OK, mainly because she was very dedicated...

In fact, "The Story of Yanxi Palace" is somewhat similar to "The Rise of Phoenixes".

They are all online romance literature targeted at females. After the adaptation, the political intrigue plots were strengthened and they were transformed into fictional historical dramas with serious colors.

The male protagonist always fights for the throne, while the female protagonist plays a supporting role, and in the end they are bound to write a love elegy together.

In fact, the so-called political dramas that emerged after Nirvana in Fire are all about fighting for the emperor's favor and the throne, which are essentially not much different from the palace fighting and house fighting.

Typical pseudo-high-end!

Many TV dramas are like this. The male and female protagonists are played by big-name actors, and the supporting roles are played by a bunch of veteran actors. The costumes and makeup are very exquisite, but the most important plot is not that good...

What’s worse is that “The Story of Yanxi Palace” and “Joy of Life” are broadcast at the same time…

……

"A Bouquet of Love" is actually a static love story.

There is no absolute external dramatic conflict, the only determining factor is time.

The first half is all memories...

The second half is the main topic. It can be said that the story is seamless from the protagonist's employment to the breakup, and then takes a sharp turn.

It becomes a realistic story - after entering the society, the responsibilities faced by the hero make him see only reality, but the heroine hopes that he can always keep his own preferences.

Because they are so similar to each other, they are very restrained when they quarrel, and they accommodate each other without saying anything, which leads to the distance between them getting farther and farther. In the end, no matter how close they are, they have nothing to say...

Ending, two people hugging and crying...

Eventually they broke up.

At the end of the story, the hero and heroine, who had been separated for several years, met again in a cafe, each with a new partner.

They didn't say hello to each other, but waved goodbye with their backs turned as they left.

In fact, the director discussed the ending with Shen Liang. The director wanted a happy ending, where the two get married and regain their former passion...

Actually, it’s impossible!

After the breakup, the heroine lived in the hero's house for a few months.

This situation is actually very much like an adaptation period - adapting to the fact that this person is no longer your lover, but a roommate, friend, or other identity.

They have already understood that they can no longer be lovers, so they can accept the current situation calmly and start a new life.

This scene is very simple and we only need to take one take.

But no one in the audience moved, just staring at Yao Tingting, and then she took off her headphones and shouted, "Okay, I declare that the filming of "Love Like a Bouquet" is finished!
"Wow!"

The crew cheered in unison.

The assistant director appeared again, holding a loud speaker and admonishing, "Everyone has worked hard! Let's gather at XX Hotel later, everyone come!"

"Do not worry!"

"Of course I'll go. I've heard that Brother Liang never gets drunk even if he drinks a lot. I must test it today!"

Everyone responded and cleaned up the scene quickly.

Shen Liang quickly took off his coat and changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt, which made him feel a little cooler.

Li Yitong also changed her clothes: "Let's go!"

"…You want to use my car again?"

"Your car has a large space and it's comfortable to sit in!" Shen Liang's RV is a Ford E350.

Two driver seats + two luxurious massage seats + three rows of seats, the backrests can be electrically folded down to become beds for people to sleep.

This is a must-have RV for walking on the red carpet.

Not very luxurious...

Most of the celebrities in the circle have basically this kind of configuration.

Zhou Xun is even more exaggerated. Her RV is equipped with a lounge, shower room, and dining room...

There is even a bedroom area, reception living room, bathroom, beauty salon, sauna room. I heard that most of the time, she doesn’t stay in a hotel, but directly lives in her own RV…

The modification and decoration of this RV cost at least tens of millions of yuan.

Shen Liang usually only uses the RV when he is on a crew, and usually drives a Mercedes Benz. But since Li Yitong said she wanted to ride in his car, then let's go together!

……

It was not far from the hotel. It took almost fifteen minutes to drive to the door...

Nothing happened. They were both relatively rational people and knew that nothing could be done in such a short time!
They were relatively late when they arrived at the hall, as some crew members had already gone upstairs.

However, the meal could not begin as the director had not arrived yet. Everyone waited for a while and the crew members came in in twos and threes.

About half an hour later, Yao Tingting and producer Li Xiaoping walked in.

In fact, there were not many people in the crew of "A Bouquet of Love", and there were only five tables in total.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

As the process progressed, the atmosphere became more lively.

Shen Liang took the lead and led everyone to raise their glasses, clinking glasses with those around them, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The filming of "A Bouquet of Love" started in mid-June and was wrapped up before August, taking more than a month to shoot.

Everyone cooperated harmoniously, the director was able to coordinate easily, the actors performed extremely well, and everything went completely smoothly.

The two leading actors in particular were very friendly and did not cause any embarrassment to the staff.

It's totally different from the rumored top stream...

It's natural to have some emotions at this farewell dinner, but as everyone is experienced in society, nothing is a problem for them.

However, Li Yitong was a little depressed, probably because she knew that this collaboration might be the last one!

Seeing her silence, Shen Liang couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

“…I just feel a little emotional…”

"That's how it is when filming is finished," Shen Liang consoled him, "but the entertainment industry is so small, there will always be a time for us to meet again!"

“…When will our movie be released?”

Shen Liang hesitated: "I'm not sure..."

"Love Like a Bouquet" is scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day next year...

He knows that due to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, cinemas across the country will be closed in the first half of next year...

"What are you two whispering about?"

At this time, Li Xiaoping came over and interrupted: "It's so mysterious."

"Nothing, just chatting. Come, Sister Xiaoping, I toast you!"

Shen Liang picked up the wine glass, kicked Li Yitong lightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your guidance during this period."

"Ah, Sister Xiaoping, I toast to you too!"

Li Yitong also quickly picked up the wine glass.

Li Xiaoping is the vice president of Guangxian. It was she who proposed the concept of Youth Guangxian and then let Ding Ding Zhang be in charge.

Unfortunately, the resources were not enough, and Ding Ding Zhang also chose to resign...

The three of them finished their drinks and automatically gathered together. Li Xiaoping asked, "How are you doing? What are your plans recently?"

"I'll continue filming..." Shen Liang replied...

The same goes for Li Yitong, she has been waiting for "Li Ge Xing" for almost a month!
"Are you interested in working together again?"
