I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 387 "Si Teng" (23)

After "Swagger", Jing Tian's popularity has reached a new level...

But the reputation and box office of "Snowstorm" released in April were not very good!
I don't understand why the film company chose to release "Snowstorm" when "Avengers 4" is wreaking havoc in the film industry?
Do you really think this movie can compete with "Avengers 4"?

There is an inexplicable sense of self-confidence!

And then... there wasn't even a loud voice complaining...

It was released quietly and closed quietly, taking less than 3000 million at the box office and less than 1000 million in box office revenue, which is probably not enough to pay the salaries of the three main actors: Zhang Zhen, Liao Fan, and Jing Tian!
But... Jing Tian doesn’t care much. In June, after filming "Once Upon a Time in Spirit Sword Mountain" and "Nothing But Thirty", she took on "Apocalypse"... and her opponent was Zhu Yilong.

I heard that Zhu Yilong chose "Pretentious Revelation" over "Pretentious Revelation"...

The reason is not difficult to guess - the script and the broadcast platform.

The script of "The Pretentious Revelation" is very good, and it is a customized drama for Mango TV.

In comparison, the logic of the script of "Dear Myself" is not very smooth...

After finishing the filming of "Pretentious Revelation", she planned to take a break for a while - she was also very tired after filming three dramas in a year!

Another script came to me, "Sito"...

She liked it very much, so she accepted it.

But for the male lead of this drama...she wants to find Shen Liang.

Well, she plays Shen Liang’s great aunt!

As soon as you hear the name of the play "Sito", you know it is a female-led drama.

There is not much room for male characters to play...

No need to ask, Shen Liang’s team will definitely refuse!

Shen Liang is now one of the top stars. Generally speaking, top stars have to take the role of No. 1!
Of course, Shen Liang is a little special, he will let others do the role-playing. He let Yang Zi do the role-playing in "Honey Stewed Squid" and Meng Ziyi do the role-playing in "The Imperial Coroner"...

He said publicly, "For me, the ranking is meaningless. The script and the role are the most important. I don't care about the ranking. The one with the most scenes is of course the first one! For the audience, in a drama, who is the first one is not so important. The key is the good plot and solid acting skills..."

And then... today he came to my door!

……

In the lounge, Shen Liang heard Jing Tian's request and shook his head helplessly: "Sister, I really don't have time. I have two months to shoot "Underground Fire", and then "The Crowd". After shooting the two movies, I will immediately join the crew of "Raging Fire", and then there is "The Man Who Planted Stars"..."

"Four movies?"

"Yes, they are all waiting in line for me!" After a pause, Shen Liang added: "I can't even play other roles, I am always the protagonist..."

Jing Tian frowned: "This script is pretty good."

"I know it's pretty good. 'Si Teng'... 'Half-demon Si Teng' is adapted from Wei Yu's novel. I've read a little bit of it and it's really suitable for you!"

"…Then we wait until you finish filming the movie?"

"...I still have two dramas to shoot...You can't keep waiting for me."

"But I want you to call me great aunt!"

“…I can always yell this…”

"Then shout now!"

Shen Liang was speechless and whispered something. Jing Tian chuckled: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go to film first. Where do you live?"

“…I live in…”

Shen Liang thought quickly in his mind - No, there are many women's things in the room, Meng Ziyi left a lot of footprints...

So, I decided to move: "Let's go to your place. I live a little far from here..."

Jing Tian glanced at him and frowned slightly: "Did you hook up with that young lady again?"

"…No!"

This was said with righteous words, he really didn't lie, Meng Ziyi and Wang Churan are both older girls!
"I don't believe you... Then I'll ask them to book a room..."

After saying that, Jing Tian stood up and prepared to leave, then remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I brought a cart of watermelons..."

"Watermelon? Don't people give coffee, small cakes, etc. when visiting a set now?"

Jing Tian was stunned for a moment: "…Really?"

"Just kidding, go to the hotel first..."

……

Last year, when filming "Knowing Your Destiny", Shen Liang often encountered Zhao Liying's fans visiting the crew... They were very organized and would treat them to coffee (Starbucks or something like that), or desserts and local specialties.

Occasionally I buy cases of drinks.

Functional drinks such as Red Bull and Pulse, as well as regular drinks such as black tea and green tea are interspersed.

Shen Liang’s fans organized an event once, but were scolded during his live broadcast - what a waste of money, the crew doesn’t need that money, don’t disturb the crew’s filming!
Then… even if someone came to visit the set, at most they would wait until the show was over and take photos…

Because I couldn’t get into the venue at all.

The crew is filming and cannot allow irrelevant people to enter.

Not even fans!
If you make a mistake in positioning, you have to retake the shot.

No joke.

But a cart of watermelons...

Pretty good too!
During the break in filming, a group of people sat together eating watermelon. Wei Daxun was quite curious: "Do you keep in touch with the actresses you have worked with?"

“…Not really. Sister Tiantian is special. She is the heroine of my first movie!”

“…Isn’t your first movie The Wandering Earth?”

"I mean the first movie that was released... and this movie initially approached many female stars, but they all refused. Sister Jing Tian was the one who saved the day..."

Meng Ziyi nodded immediately: "I know, "Time Travel Cohabitation"..."

Wang Churan remembered something: "Hey, who is that billionaire actress?"

“…Hasn’t the netizens dug it out?”

"Is it really Lily White?"

"Well, that's her!"

Shen Liang nodded: "Love comedy, this theme is something Bai Baihe is very good at..."

"why do not you answer?"

"You don't like me..."

Shen Liang quickly finished his watermelon and glanced at Wei Daxun. He suddenly felt that he was quite suitable to play the male lead Qin Fang in "Sito"...

A little follower, a bit of a wimp…

So I asked, "What is Daxun going to do next?"

Wei Daxun did not answer directly, but asked back: "What's the matter? Do you want to find me for a play?"

"Yeah," Shen Liang nodded, "The leading male role in Sister Tiantian's new drama... I've read the script, it's pretty good, but I don't have the schedule..."

"Okay, who's the director?"

Wei Daxun agreed immediately without even saying "I'll ask the team for their opinion"...

Jing Tian is now one of the most popular people in the circle, and the dramas she starred in are at least S-level!

Acting opposite her, at least we are of equal status.

Wei Daxun being able to play her leading male role is actually a promotion for him!

Shen Liang: "The director is the director of "Eastern Palace", Li Muge... He is a real shooting maniac, and it takes at least four to five months to shoot a drama!"

"Realistic shooting is good, because it can make the actors immersed in the role."

"... As long as you have no problem with it, I will send you Sister Jing Tian's WeChat later..."

"Well...thank you for your support, Brother Liang!"

"…What's the point of promoting me? If you have the schedule and the image is suitable, of course I will call you…"

Wei Daxun smiled and said, "I still have to thank you..."

"Then you should thank Peng Peng. Peng Peng told me that you are a good actor..." At this point, Shen Liang remembered something: "How about we create a WeChat group?"

"WeChat group? What are they used for?"

"There was a play that approached us, and we thought it was good, but we didn't have time to act in it... It was like exchanging resources, and we could recommend each other..."

"Then you will suffer!"
