I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 364: Boring Trip (33)

Haiqing, Shen Liang probably knows a little about it.

Because of "Back Kitchen", she was almost banned by New Classics Media, but later she took the initiative to show her friendship and starred in "A Servant of Two Masters"...

But the relationship can never go back to what it was before!
Otherwise, she could have been used for "My First Half of Life" and "White Deer Plain"...

Oh, "Back Kitchen" is a 2012 drama, with New Classics Media as the main investor. Hai Qing was the national daughter-in-law at the time, but that was just a character setting!

During the filming of "Back Kitchen", Hai Qing was very aggressive and kept asking for adjustments to the script. He even left the crew midway to film "Mind Game"...

Afterwards, the crew invited Haiqing back, but because Haiqing was unwilling to film in a southern city, the crew moved the filming location to BJ, and many scenes were shot in a studio.

By the way, Haiqing brought at least seven or eight staff members with her. Originally, the dressing room was shared by Haiqing and the male lead Xiao Shenyang, but as a result, Haiqing’s team alone had already filled up the dressing room, and Xiao Shenyang often had to eat outside the dressing room.

It was summer when we were filming, and the weather in BJ was very hot, and only the dressing room had air conditioning.

Shen Liang had heard about these things...

Hai Qing, "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape", "Wang Gui and Anna", "Dwelling Narrowness" and "The Good Times of Wife", four consecutive TV series that were popular in ratings and reputation, and won both the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, and briefly became the top actress in TV dramas at the time.

In 2012, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" opened an era of "costume dramas with female protagonists" dominating the screen for several years. Actresses of all ages stepped into this field, seeing it as a shortcut to success.

From "The Empress of China" and "The Legend of Miyue" to "The Journey of Flower", "Eternal Love", "Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Do You Know?"...

If it weren't for the "Ancient Limit Order" that forcibly suppressed it, it would probably have continued to this day.

Hai Qing also struggled, starring in 6 TV series in succession. However, except for the cooperation with Huang Lei and the guest appearance of Tfboys, "Little Farewell" is a popular drama with good reputation. The ratings of both channels have not yet broken , and the more well-received ones are Zhang Zifeng, Zhao Jinmai, Hu Xianxu and other children;
The rest of the dramas, including "Heaven Will Not Forgive If a Woman Is Not Strong", "The Big Cat's Love Story", "The Rag Girl's Spring", "The Gunners" and "The Kitchen", did not have good reputation and ratings.

All I can say is: life has its luck, and so does the circle, which cannot be changed by human power.

Good fortune comes early or late, so don’t be too proud if it comes early.

A box full of gold, a box full of silver, but in a blink of an eye everyone slanders you as a beggar.

"I can't really comment on this either. After all, many times, scripts from unknown directors never get to the stars. They are rejected by their agents right away. Many directors also think, why bother asking for trouble..."

"…As for the market…Let me give you an example. Teacher Chen Jin from A Sun, I think her acting skills have almost reached the level of perfection. She has played supporting roles in various TV series for many years. She played my mother Princess Pingning in The Story of Minglan and the mother of the heroine Su Mingyu in All Is Well…She has never complained about the market…"

……

The reason why "A Sun" came to the Xining Film Festival was mainly because the original "Parasite" was cancelled due to "technical reasons". The film festival temporarily found Rao Xiaozhi, who came with a pretentious mentality...

It's really pretentious, and there are almost no negative reviews.

But for Shen Liang, the initial excitement and curiosity gradually faded away, and he just watched from the sidelines...

He was indeed just watching from the sidelines, he was too lazy to even refute what Hai Qing said!

No, everyone knows that being an actor is a job that requires youth, and it is not just like this today.

Everyone can call for market changes, but before the changes happen, actors have always been well aware of the current market situation.

However, the evening's activities still made him laugh!
Zhu Yawen went on stage and gave a talk show targeting Guo Qilin!

"When the organizers invited me, I had no intention of coming, but they told me that even the crosstalk performers were here, so why couldn't you come?"

He called Guo Qilin directly and said, "Your family's sect is too scary. Please sit down first and listen to me. I really like your father. I believe there are many people like me here. I really want to ask you a question."

Guo Qilin: "You say."

Zhu Yawen: "How is Uncle Yu Qian doing recently?"

A lot of people present laughed...it seems like this is a joke!

But Zhu Yawen acted too serious and mocked Guo Degang's film works, calling them bad movies.

Of course, this is true!
But it’s quite boring for you to target Guo Qilin, because Guo Qilin has never officially acted in a movie yet!

Guo Qilin's response was pretty good: "My father and I both have a dream of making movies, and we will strive to continue pursuing our dream of being in the entertainment industry."

Zhu Yawen smiled and continued, "Qilin paid out of his own pocket to support the experimental short film. He definitely loves movies!"

But many marketing accounts deleted this paragraph...

It was obvious that Zhu Yawen wanted to be humorous, but unfortunately, he ended up doing splits.

The host quickly asked, "Who else wants to say something?"

Shen Liang became interested, stood up, and took Guo Qilin's microphone: "I think it's not fair to use Douban to evaluate movies. After all, Mr. Zhu's movies don't have very high Douban scores!"

"I filmed Joy of Life with Dalinzi, and he played my younger brother. We both thought he did a good job... As for Deyunshe, I used to hate them for mass-producing bad movies... But then I figured it out. In fact, the movies they made were movies for their own fans, and they were derivative developments. We shouldn't evaluate them as mainstream movies!"

"Oh, derivative development may not be accurate. You can think of it as making money!"

……

"Don't look for me at this kind of film festival in the future!"

On the plane, Shen Liang directly told Chen Jiadong...

"Um…"

Chen Jiadong was also unhappy with the arrangements of the film festival, mainly because the scene was too chaotic!
As for the publicity effect of "The Sun Shines"...

Slightly equal to nothing!

Because mainstream media rarely report on the Xining Film Festival, everyone has been paying attention to a certain island in the south recently...

I feel that the whole trip to Xining was a waste of time, as there were almost no good movies.

Except for Sherlock on the Plains...

Chen Jiadong then asked: "Then should we buy Sherlock on the Plains?"

Shen Liang thought about it and nodded: "Buy it, and help distribute it..."

"Sherlock on the Plains" is indeed not bad. Director Xu Lei definitely has the potential to direct genre films. The combination of a sullen and troublesome character is very interesting.

Later, he was signed by Ning Hao and made two works, "Great Expectations" and "The Middleman"...

Shen Liang has no intention of signing a director. He is not going to take the traditional route of starting a company → signing new talents → becoming a producer → injecting capital → going public…

Pointless!

The existing industrial chain, from upstream to downstream, has been monopolized, and he cannot catch up...

It’s really just to help with the release!

Chen Jiadong changed the subject: "Recently, a movie called Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World was released, and the box office was 6.66 million in the first weekend. I heard it was very good!"

“…I know this movie. It’s time for our film market to have a phenomenal animated film.”
