I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 367 Joining the Group (33)

Don't say the screenwriter has a preset stance.

Many aspiring production companies, including screenwriters, believe that ancient idol dramas are not worthy of intensive work, because their subject matter is not profound and serious, and the audience just wants to see industrial saccharine love plots. As long as they are given a lot of them like cramming, they will be satisfied. Of course, there is no need for serious writing.

To use an extreme analogy, shit is not worthy of being used as a food ingredient. No matter how it is cooked or what side dishes are used, no matter how high-end the seasonings are, even if it is given a meaning and cultural heritage, it is still a pile of shit.

Yes, ancient idol dramas are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

Therefore, in most formal award ceremonies, costume dramas...including idol dramas, cannot even get nominated!
Even many fans think that serious dramas are more high-end than idol dramas...

By the way, when Yuan Hong starred in "Ordinary World", he was really a great resource. The original work was written by Lu Yao and directed by Mao Weining. He played the role of Sun Shaoping, the male protagonist of the original work. In the end, he was beaten by the Northwest Hammer King and was cut down to the second male lead...

This is the reality!

Then why are so many producers still willing to make ancient idol dramas?

Because the production model is simple, the product is quick, and it is convenient to make data, the one-stop service has become an industrial chain...

Compare that to the time and effort that goes into making a serious drama.

Who would want to earn hard-earned money when they can earn quick money?

Moreover… Danmei dramas are no longer allowed to be filmed, and ancient puppet dramas have become more and more of a springboard for male and female artists to enter the entertainment industry…

Liu Yuning publicly said that "ancient idol dramas don't require too much acting skills"...

Even the actors don’t respect ancient idol dramas!
But Shen Liang is thinking about the year 2021 when ugly ancient idol men will appear in large numbers...

The audience is really pitiful... Damn it, their aesthetic taste is being bullied.

What are the sayings like 'There is no type of actor, whether it is ancient puppetry, suspense, or urban drama, the reason why an actor is an actor is that he can portray any role!', 'He is very masculine'...

So, masculinity = ugly men?

Oh, and there's also the line 'There's nothing wrong with the casting, it's a matter of public taste! '

Tsk tsk…the audience is so innocent.

……

The explosion of The Untamed has made Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo completely popular...

Let’s put it this way, their duet of “Unfettered” directly usurped the spotlight from Shen Liang’s “Nobody”…

After this drama, the two became popular for more than two years, and they received numerous endorsements. Basically, the products endorsed by Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo were sold out immediately after they were released.

In addition, Tencent unlocked the 30-yuan advance on-demand feature for the first time, generating revenue of 1.56 million yuan.

The paid film and television soundtracks cost 20 yuan each and sold 2000 million copies across all platforms, setting a sales record.

The first live video broadcast of a traditional Chinese music concert cost 30 yuan per person to watch, generating revenue of 1 million yuan, with the first row ticket price even being raised to 15 yuan per ticket.

The Bazaar e-magazine co-published by Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibao sold 700 million copies.

By the way, the Dangai 101 track has been opened!

Well, Dangai 101...

It attracted a lot of male stars, even Huang Xiaoming followed suit and filmed "The Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red"...

Later this track was banned!

But to be honest, gay-themed dramas do promote people!
"Zhu Xian" starring Xiao Zhan, a work positioned as an online movie, was directly transferred to theaters and earned more than 400 million yuan at the box office!

Many people commented that "the traffic gate closed by "Shanghai Fortress" was opened again by Xiaozhan"...

However, Meng Ziyi is quite tragic. She played Wen Qing in "The Untamed". Many people disliked her, saying that she brought money into the group and added scenes to the supporting role of Wen Qing in the play, directly replacing the original double male lead plot. The name of the play was jokingly called "Wen Qing Ling" by netizens...

Well, a lot of scenes that were not in the original novel were added to her... It's understandable, as the subject matter of gay dramas is sensitive, and the production team might have added them in order to pass the review, but the blame is all put on her.

In fact, the female characters in gay-themed dramas can easily be "remembered" by fans of the original novel, the drama, and the CP fans for several years if they are not careful.

Because everyone is a fan of gay couples, if you are a female character, you will definitely be scolded unless there is a family relationship!

Oh, in the crew of "The Imperial Coroner", Shen Liang saw Meng Ziyi who was posting on Weibo and comforted her.

The young lady was very tough, posting various Weibo posts to explain, "I didn't add any scenes, this is the script I got!" She even sent a lawyer's letter. This series of actions showed her strong attitude, and she vowed to win the fight with the black fans.

Shen Liang whispered to comfort him: "You don't need to care about online comments, and don't reason with haters..."

"why?"

"Because when you're cursing, there's no need to be so strict. I want to curse you, and you... Xiong Da are guilty!"

Meng Ziyi straightened his back: "...Don't you think it looks good?"

Shen Liang swallowed his saliva: "I am giving an example..."

“…I still think it’s better to explain it clearly!”

"It's hard to explain!" Shen Liang was speechless: "If he listened to you, he wouldn't have become a brainless black."

"You also have this kind of black fan?"

“Wow, who doesn’t have haters?”

"…You ignore them?"

Shen Liang nodded: "I tell you, if you become obscure, the haters will naturally disperse... As long as you are famous, you will definitely have haters!"

The two were chatting when Jiang Qiming and Wang Churan came over...

Shen Liang stood up and hugged Jiang Qiming: "Old Jiang... we are cooperating again!"

Jiang Qiming was speechless: "Brother, don't call me Lao Jiang. I thought you were calling me Baldy..."

"...Doesn't it seem like we are close... Come, let me introduce you..."

Meng Ziyi interrupted: "Do I need you to introduce us? We have been shooting for three days!"

"…Sorry, I'm too busy…"

Wang Churan glanced at Meng Ziyi, then asked Shen Liang: "Did you know each other before?"

"I saw her in "Celebrating Yu Nian"...but her character won't appear until the second season..."

Oh, this is the first time Shen Liang and Wang Churan meet...

He didn't know much about Wang Churan, and the same was true for later generations. He only knew Xu Qin, well, a girl with a typical Chinese stomach - otherwise, how could she be satisfied with a bowl of white rice porridge? It must be that she had eaten Western food before and didn't think it tasted good.

However, judging from her facial features alone, she is indeed quite pretty, to the point where her beauty alone can almost make her famous.

If we talk about the previous domestic entertainment, according to Er Dongsheng: there are many such girls in the entertainment industry. He means that there are many who are relatively beautiful but have no special features. If they have special features, there can't be many of them.

Haha, Er Dongsheng doesn’t understand the current domestic entertainment industry. There isn’t even a rising star who can play the role of the four famous prostitutes!
Let’s put it this way, if we remake “Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio”, we might not even be able to put together a complete set of scholars and banshees.

Ordinary women are in vogue, and beauties like Wang Churan are rare!

Unfortunately, most of the current costume dramas are sweet...

Including "My Human Fireworks", Xu Qin's character is also naive and sweet - otherwise, with a character like Song Yan, which normal woman would be interested in him?

However, after chatting for a while, Shen Liang left... This woman is so boring!
Not as good as Meng Ziyi, although Meng Ziyi also talks nonsense, but at least it’s interesting…
