I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 427 I can’t tell either (33)

"I don't dare to predict the box office now. I honestly think that the maximum box office of A Sun is 5 million. After its release, the total box office will exceed 18 billion!"

In the live broadcast room, Shen Liang chatted with his brothers.

"It's very depressing to read... This is normal. I felt very uncomfortable when I wrote this paragraph, because the hero is breaking up with the heroine on the surface, but in fact he is breaking up with his past self!"

"The heroine's interests and hobbies have not changed. In fact, she is the hero from five years ago. Rather than saying it is the end of a relationship, it is more like saying goodbye to the past self..."

“I didn’t have high expectations for ‘Bouquet’. Romance films are a difficult genre to write well because everyone experiences love and is qualified to express opinions about it.

"Flowers" does not have the common elements of love movies such as infidelity, abortion, and terminal illness... So, I can't say how strong it will be..."

“If you are interested, you can go and have a look…”

"I can't leave the crew. I took a week off to attend various activities, so I've missed a lot of scenes... I can't let Brother Hua wait for me, right?"

"The crew's time is very valuable. Food, horse feed, and equipment rentals cost at least hundreds of thousands a day. And Brother Hua's time is even more valuable..."

"He has several movies waiting to be filmed, and so do I. Our schedules are all fixed!"

“…I don’t want to chat anymore. I’m too tired today. I’m going to sleep first…”

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Shen Liang closed the live broadcast room and prepared to go to sleep...

He returned to the crew today and filmed for six hours straight away, not taking a break until 12 o'clock in the evening...

The shooting will start at 7am tomorrow...

Get some sleep quickly.

……

"A Bouquet of Love" is very popular on Douban.

Because the beginning of love is the matching of book, movie and music tastes...

Also called "Doubaner Customized Movies"!
Douban has a function: when you click on a stranger’s homepage, you can see cross-references to books, movies and music.

Reading the same books and watching similar movies seem to have become Douban users' criteria for attention, friend selection, and love.

When you meet by chance, you discover that there is someone in this world who is so similar to you. All of this person's interests and hobbies are perfectly consistent with yours, as if you are a pair chosen by God and born for each other.

"You also like this writer, you also watch this movie, you also like this game" so "I like you so much"...

Is this a soul mate?
The criteria for soul mates are a bit too simple.

Pick a few random groups in Douban community, and you’ll find that they are all soul mates—they like the same directors, movies, books, authors, and say the same things at the same time. Is that what you call soul mates?

To some extent, this is a kind of narcissism!
But literary youths, or those who call themselves literary youths, all have a certain narcissism.

Therefore, "A Bouquet of Love" has a high rating on Douban.

The homepage is basically full of positive reviews:

"The most romantic love that an artistic youth can think of, running on a rainy night when they first met, having 100% compatible artistic interests, kissing at a red light after confessing, having sex in a rental house for a week, living together in a house with a large balcony, picking up a cat during a New Year's visit, and then breaking up peacefully due to long-term exhaustion, reminiscing about the past in an old place, and thinking of you when it rains. It's like the fantasy of people who desire love but don't believe in it."

"The love between young people who started out with the same interests ended up in the daily necessities of life. Shen Liang really understands this!"

"A story about two traditional Douban friends who fell in love but broke up because of ordinary real life. Working part-time really ruins 90% of relationships!"

Of course, there are negative reviews too - it's a movie starring Shen Liang, so when the internet trolls attack other movies released at the same time, they will definitely regard it as the main opponent. Even if they didn't hire internet trolls, fans would still do the same!
On the front page was "Shen Liang and his ex-girlfriend again, enough of that!"

'This is a story that is like a chronicle. Shen Liang's understanding of love is too shallow. No wonder he has so many ex-girlfriends!'

…Filming site of “The Crowd”…

Zhou Quan regained his memory and rescued Chen Xiaomeng.

But this is not enough, we must create the illusion of killing him...

Then came the content to be filmed: Shen Liang performed being stabbed, over and over again…

Chen Xiaomeng, aka Shen Liang, was very into the performance, but... there were always problems. Either it was too fake or he ended up laughing. Zhou Quan, aka Liu Dehua, couldn't stand it anymore and had to demonstrate it himself!

From the complex expression of fear and pain when the first knife stabbed into the abdomen, to the staggering backwards while covering the wound, to the dying struggle after falling to the ground, and even the convulsion when on the verge of death, it was all done in one breath and was quite coherent.

However, Chen Xiaomeng immediately criticized: "You are not good at this. You are still twitching... You are not good at this. Your performance has no levels. Performance without levels is meaningless!"

"What's the point? Your acting is so fake!"

"My acting was fake?" Shen Liang was surprised and speechless, and he got angry at him directly: "Acting is my profession, brother. Have you heard of expressionism? Have you heard of experientialism? Do you know who Stanislavsky is? Do you know what the highest task of stage action is? You don't know anything, and you still have the nerve to say that I acted..."

Zhou Quan slapped Chen Xiaomeng hard...

Shen Liang covered his face and asked, "Why are you hitting me?"

"When I was in college, I played the leading role once and then I considered myself a big shot."

After saying this, Zhou Quan slapped Chen Xiaomeng hard again...

"Why did you hit someone?"

“Some people really experience the role physically, some people create the appearance of the role, and some people treat acting as a fake transaction playing tricks;”

Zhou Quan slapped him again...

"Some are rigid and recite their lines in a dry manner, while others use their roles to show off their own strengths in front of their admirers!"

"I only read the tenth page of every book at home. The rest of the books are brand new. If you really read them, you will understand what I am talking about..."

"... "

Chen Xiaomeng lowered her head and said nothing...

"This passage is from "The Actor's Self-cultivation", Chapter 8, Section 8... You are still an actor?" After saying that, he glanced at Shen Liang: "Get up, do it again!"

“…Ka! Really good!”

Rao Xiaozhi applauded: "Brother Liang, this part is amazing. You played the role of an actor who is not good at acting very well, and it was completely true to yourself!"

Shen Liang was originally being polite to Liu Dehua - the slap was a real one, without any restraint. As a senior, Liu Dehua must apologize... Of course Shen Liang had to praise him for his good slap, so there was no need to do it a second time!
Hearing Rao Xiaozhi's "praise" at this time, Shen Liang rolled his eyes: "…Why do I feel like you are belittling me? Who played the role of himself? Don't I know how to act?"

"Of course you are an acting talent..."

"That's pretty much it!"

Shen Liang took the cup of water from his assistant, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip...

Zhou Yutong came over and said, "I noticed that you are really devoted to acting!"

“…Into it?”

"Your movie is in theaters, but you're not worried at all. How do you do that?"

"I can't really say... maybe... I have confidence in 'Bouquet'!"
