I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 419 This is Really Not My Love Story (13)

"Adapted from a real love story? That's bullshit. I'm not that narcissistic!"

"...I am the screenwriter...Yes, I did write the screenwriter, but the whole story has nothing to do with my love experience, and the male protagonist doesn't look like me..."

Shen Liang retorted, then thought of something: "No, there is one thing that is very similar, that is, I can do it for two whole days... I can do it now too!"

"I'm very fierce!"

"But I've passed that stage. Before, I was thinking about deep penetration... Now it's different. I want to make money more!"

"The reason why I made "Love Like a Bouquet" was because Guangguang invited me to make a love movie, but I didn't like the script, so I wrote one myself... The whole play is based on a concept: if you meet yourself five years ago, will you be with her?"

"The hero and heroine had the same hobbies in college and were soul mates, but after graduation, the hero entered society... and became a worker in the secular sense... The woman, although she also worked, still insisted on her previous interests and hobbies. For her, work was really just for a living... In other words, the heroine actually corresponds to the hero five years ago!"

"The reason why it is called "Love Like a Bouquet" is because this love is like a bouquet of flowers. When it blooms, it is gorgeous and beautiful, but flowers are flowers after all. Once the blooming period is over, all the beauty will no longer exist!"

“It’s a very realistic love movie… You can watch it and give your opinions.”

"I'm about to join the crew of "The Crowd", so it's hard to find time for promotion..."

……

Well, Li Yitong has made an effort, and "Sword Dynasty" and "Crane Hua Ting" were launched almost at the same time.

One is exclusively broadcast on iQiyi, and the other is exclusively broadcast on Youku.

"Sword Dynasty", Lu Guoqiang served as the producer. He was previously the head of the distribution department of Zijincheng Films. He was the producer of Feng Xiaogang's New Year trilogy: "Party A and Party B", "See You Tomorrow", and "Endless". Later, Feng Xiaogang also specially invited him to be the producer of "Big Shot"~
They are old acquaintances, so when we made "Sword Dynasty", we specially invited Feng Xiaogang to be the producer.

iQiyi’s top project;
"Crane Li Hua Ting", created by Yang Wenjun's team;
Yang Wenjun is a first-line TV drama director. "The Happy Past of the Old Ma Family", "The Blue Blind", "Women of the Swordsman Family" and "The Queen of Fuyao" are all his representative works!

"The Story of Yanxi Palace" also belongs to the S+ project.

Unfortunately, I encountered "Celebrating Yu Nian"...

A phenomenal series!
The quality of "White Deer Plain" was very good that year, and it also starred Zhang Jiayi, He Bing, Qin Hailu, Liu Peiqi, Lei Jiayin and others. It had a high probability of becoming the best drama of the year...

Then, I came across In the Name of People, which aired for one day and was immediately withdrawn…

"Sword Dynasty" and "Crane Hua Ting" cannot be withdrawn—they are already broadcast online!
I can only accept the crushing head-on...

It is indeed a crushing victory - the market share of "Joy of Life" is stable at over 30%...

There's no comparison at all!
The marketing materials for "Crane Li Hua Ting" all say "culture goes global and lands in more than 240 countries and regions simultaneously";
In fact, three days after the premiere of Joy of Life, Japan introduced the series and it became a hot-selling drama. Some fans even drew comics specifically for the characters.

"Joy of Life" has also been broadcast in South Korea and North America. Its overseas distribution covers multiple new media platforms and TV stations in five continents around the world. It has been translated into 13 languages ​​including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish and Portuguese.

If we really compare the overseas expansion of culture, "Joy of Life" is not much worse than "The Story of Yanxi Palace"!

Moreover, in the discussion of the series, apart from the costumes, props, and aesthetic significance, "Crane Hua Ting" did not talk about the plot... However, one good thing is that no one questioned why Li Yitong could not make the series popular, and the term "cold body" did not appear!
After all, "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty", "Forensic Psychic" and "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain" produced at the same time failed to meet expectations, especially "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty", which was originally called "The Legend of Ming Dynasty Concubine Sun Ruowei", a heroine-led drama starring Tang Wei, with a cost of 5 million!
All kinds of marketing and production, bragging about "Chang Shuping designed more than 3000 costumes in total, of which Tang Wei's costumes alone amount to 168 sets!"

It was ridiculed as soon as it was aired!

Tang Wei's acting skills are widely questioned - she actually acted badly in the previous "A Tale of Three Cities", but that movie was very obscure and not much discussed...

In fact, this drama has a lofty purpose, but due to some details, it has been reduced to a loose ancient idol drama, and its quality is far inferior to the work "The Long River of the World" directed by the same director.

The core of "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Long River of the World" is the same: the emperor is the root of all suffering. The emperor is the "wolf king", the "dragon", and the "true god", but not a person.

No matter how affectionate, wise and kind they appear, they are still cannibalistic. Compared with the rule of one family and one surname, everything else has to take a back seat.

The plot of "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty" depends entirely on the supporting characters.

Not only Tang Wei, the male lead Zhu Yawen also looks more like a eunuch than an emperor's grandson!
I don't really understand why such a team has to add an inexplicable female lead?
According to the rhythm of the drama, if you want to show the awesomeness of the heroine, you should arrange a bunch of delicate and stupid girls, or weak, honest and incompetent men around her to serve as a foil!

But you show that there is not a single mediocre person among the three generations of the Zhu family. Some are decisive in killing, and some are ambitious. You also have to prove that a woman around them who is not talkative, does not want to enter the palace, and does not want to take power will grow up to be a capable and courageous heroine in the future. Does this logic make sense?

You say it's a serious drama, but the production team wants a strong female lead!

The audience was directly persuaded to leave...

Compared with "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty", Li Yitong's two dramas are not that bad. At least Douban scores are good - "Sword Dynasty" scores 6.8, "Crane Huating" scores 7.6...

But Li Yitong did not become popular among the people because of this!
Therefore, compared to Shen Liang, Li Yitong is more eager for "Love Like a Bouquet"...

Her team has already started marketing "Love Like a Bouquet", which is adapted from Shen Liang's real love experience!

……

On November 11, Shen Liang arrived at the crew of "The Crowd".

He gave the crew a month and a half.

In fact, in terms of the role, he is the second male lead in "Raging Fire". Although it is about two men exchanging lives - a killer and a down-and-out actor, the core of the play is on the killer played by Andy Lau!
Moreover, there are a lot of scenes in the script that pay tribute to Andy Lau.

It’s normal, after all, Rao Xiaozhi is a fan of Andy Lau!

In addition, Andy Lau's offer for the role in "The Crowd" was 1500 million RMB...

To be honest, the pay is very reasonable!

In fact, Shen Liang really thinks that Andy Lau is suitable for playing villains. He played them so well in "Infernal Affairs" and "The Disciples", especially "The Disciples": What does their drug use have to do with me? Did I force them to use it? I didn't! And the line "Are you kidding me? If the foreigners next door see me, they will think I can't afford caviar. How can such a small amount be enough for anyone? Another can...one can per person, take it away, take the scale away, stupid."

But I don't understand why he always challenges himself to play the role of a good guy?
