I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 368: What a Harsh Talk (13)

In fact, the reason for choosing "The Imperial Coroner" is because the script is reasonable and the characters are reliable.

The hero is very respectful to everyone, respects the heroine's career ideals, respects his cousin's dream of being a martial artist, is loyal to his brothers, filial to his mother, responsible for his work, and does his job well, like a 007 Tang Dynasty civil servant;

The heroine is cute and adorable with first-class professional ability. She only wants to take the civil service exam and works diligently every day just to get a job. Occasionally she will cry out of grievance, but it will be fine after a while and it will not affect her work at all.

The second male lead is a witty and humorous young man, with a look of frivolity always on his face, but this frivolity does not affect his ability to do serious work.

Although the second female lead is of noble birth, she dreams of being a hero in the martial arts world who avenges enemies and is both beautiful and heroic.

The two pairs of CPs are clearly distinguished. There is no love triangle between the people, no misunderstandings, no forced sensationalism, and everyone works hard side by side in a socialist love or friendship.

As for the plot, there are basically two lines: one is the logic line of solving the case, and the other is the life drama of the protagonists and supporting characters. The two lines sometimes intersect and sometimes separate, but they are basically reasonable and not off track.

The foreshadowing is very good. The various fragments at the beginning can be pieced together in the end to form a complete picture, with basically no holes left.

It has the flavor of an old-fashioned costume drama!

Of course, when the heroine encounters the powerful and prestigious Prince An, isn’t that still Mary Sue?

It can be considered Mary Sue, but there is nothing wrong with Mary Sue itself, but how can you make it so that the audience will buy it! The most feared thing is that Mary Sue becomes a melodrama and a mess on the screen.

The heroine is simple and kind, but not stupid at all. Her IQ is completely online. Although she makes jokes occasionally, it is purely because she comes from the mountains and has never seen the world.

However, for Shen Liang, the biggest impression is that the plot pace is too fast...

I was only on set for two days, and the two small cases were finished...

……

After shooting for a whole day, Shen Liang had a simple meal, then returned to his room, took a quick shower, changed into a loose set of pajamas, opened the study door, and entered the live broadcast room!
"Yes, we have already started a new drama called "The Imperial Coroner", the original IP is called "The Coroner's Wife"... the screenwriter is also the original author, and the director is Mr. Lou Jian..."

"It's a female-oriented novel, but the script is good, and I like the production team. The producer is Wang Hanxian, and the Tengxun Video Qingzhou team..."

“No need to change it to a male-dominated drama. This is the story I like. If you change it to a male-dominated drama, many plots will be difficult to handle!” After a pause, Shen Liang continued, “Isn’t “The Rise of Phoenixes” just a random change? It’s over. Fans are praising me for “my high standards” and “my shots are beautiful”. Damn it, it’s just a TV series, who cares about these things? The story is lame, the rhythm is messy… That’s it, and his fans also said that wild boars can’t eat fine bran… Mango TV has bought “The Imperial Coroner” and it will be broadcast in August next year. We will see the ratings then…”

"…How could it possibly lose to The Rise of Phoenixes? This is the lowest ratings record for Mango TV. Do you think any other show can set a new record?"

While we were chatting, a brother in the live broadcast room asked, "Why is Meng Ziyi the first one?"
"She's the heroine...she has the most scenes! I will definitely give her a ranking based on the number of scenes..."

"A scene-stealer... What can she do to steal the show? I agreed to film The Imperial Coroner, which was upgraded from an A-rated series to an S+ top series. I also picked her... I'm one of the investors and producers, what do you think?"

"The Untamed... I know what happened. Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation is a BL novel. In fact, the producers also warned that it was a bit timid because there was no clear regulation on whether it was allowed or not. The previous Addicted was banned... So, at first, it was filmed according to the script with a female lead. Later, Soul Guardian came out and everyone thought it was okay to film. In addition, the animation of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation was very popular, so it was filmed according to the original novel..."

"Any actress who plays a gentle role in The Untamed will be scolded!"

"Her acting is... so-so. You can say she is dedicated, but she will do better if she does it again... She has some talent, but she doesn't have enough life experience. An actor needs to experience all kinds of life situations..."

"Me? I feel like I've made a lot of progress in terms of skills... This doesn't mean I've mastered everything. I can only say that I've mastered certain practical skills. It depends on the specific filming situation... If it feels right, then it's OK. If it doesn't feel right, then failure is inevitable."

"I feel like what I lack the most is a deeper theoretical system to support me, instead of just blindly groping with my eyes closed... You think I acted well, but the main reason is that the male artists of the same age are too bad..."

As I said, Shen Liang is very relaxed when he is live streaming, mainly because the brothers in the live streaming room don’t just flatter him, but remind him to pay attention to many things... and then mentioned the main theme movie.

Shen Liang immediately said: "I participated in "My Motherland and Me", the "Escort" segment directed by Wen Muye... I am not the main character..."

"'The Climbers', Brother Jing also approached me, but... the schedule was not suitable, so I didn't go..."

"I still think movies with mainstream themes like fighting foreigners are more interesting. You see, Bruce Lee became famous for fighting foreigners, and Jing Ge's Wolf Warrior 2 also involved fighting foreigners, so I told Jing Ge about Expedition, in which the protagonist is a former special forces soldier with inner emotional trauma, wandering alone overseas, making a living as a mercenary, and trying to redeem himself with the most dangerous missions.

In a third world country, with a dirty and messy environment and lawless place, the hostage rescue mission meets the inner need for self-salvation.

The rest is all about doing. The continuous upgrading of various action scenes, the continuous superposition of visual spectacles, the new era of action exploitation film variants…”

"It's a little different from Wolf Warrior 2... The script hasn't come out yet. I'll talk to Brother Jing about it after he finishes filming The Climbers..."

As we were chatting, my phone rang. I took a look and saw a message from Meng Ziyi: "Brother Liang, can I come to see you? I feel like my acting is really not good. Can you help me analyze it..."

Shen Liang was a little speechless...

Come to ask for advice...

Is this girl sure she wants to ask for advice on acting?

Or art?

If it was someone else, Shen Liang would definitely think it was a hint, but Meng Ziyi... Shen Liang couldn't tell the difference!

After thinking for a while, he replied: "I'm live streaming, come over later..."

"How long will it take?"

"If you want to come over, you can, just don't disturb my live broadcast!"

“…Then I’ll go over there…”

Shen Liang replied with a "Yeah," and then said to his friends in the live broadcast room: "Someone is looking for me, I have something urgent to do... I'll be away for a while and will be back soon!"

The comments were immediately filled with a bunch of "Actress, right?"

"What actress...I'm her manager."

Shen Liang said something nonsense, then left the room, opened the door, and then... saw Chen Jiadong who was about to knock on the door...

I was totally shocked!
"Oh my god! Why are you here?"

"Who else could it be except me?" Chen Jiadong was puzzled: "…Who did he hook up with?"

"What do you mean by hooking up? She's a studious actress who wants to improve herself... Why does it sound so offensive to you?"

After saying a word of contempt, Shen Liang welcomed Chen Jiadong into the house and poured him a cup of tea before asking, "What happened?"
