I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 437: A Beautiful Girl in a Golden House (13)

In fact, a big reason why Shen Liang took on the role in "The Crowd" was because of the script!
The value of the script of "The Crowd" lies in that it still implements Rao Xiaozhi's consistent perspective of small people.

A cold-blooded killer who is actually a liar with a soft heart.

A poor extra may not care about money as much as he thinks.

But he was not very satisfied with the last scene!

It’s the transformation of Sister Hui’s identity…

Sister Hui is also a deceived woman, which makes it difficult for the audience to hate her.

I have mentioned before that this is a consistent feature of Rao Xiaozhi’s films!
But when it was left in "The Crowd", it left a loophole for counterattack.

If you have iconic elements like gangsters and Andy Lau, it means you have hung some genre elements in the audience's expectations - black crime.

But that is not the case...

He has eliminated the audience’s greatest expectations!
However, Shen Liang was too lazy to comment - this was Rao Xiaozhi's movie...

The last big plot took a whole week to shoot!
It's finally over.

With the director's "click..."

Shen Liang lay on his back on the ground...

The staff immediately trotted over to help him up: "Brother Liang, are you okay?"

"…It's okay, I'm just tired from fighting, I want to take a break…"

Shen Liang explained and prepared to go back to the hotel...

Rao Xiaozhi suddenly stopped him: "Brother Liang..."

"What's wrong?"

Rao Xiaozhi winked and said, "…Why did you go home so early these days?"

Shen Liang replied unhappily: "...It's none of your business, just think about the filming..."

He didn't want to either, but Shen Liang felt a little embarrassed to be alone in the hotel...

Well, Naza stayed in the hotel for a whole week. Except for occasionally going to the hotel gym to do some exercise, he spent the rest of the time in the room!

"The beauty hidden in the golden house?"

Shen Liang was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked back: "...What are you going to do?"

"Oh, we'll have a party tomorrow, how about we get together tonight?"

“…get together?”

"Brother Hua is coming too!"

Shen Liang looked at Liu Dehua, who was removing his makeup...

“…Give me the address of the hotel, I’ll be there soon!”

Rao Xiaozhi chuckled: "If you have a beautiful girl hidden in your house, you can bring her out to join us!"

"...I...never mind. I can bring her out, but you are not allowed to tell anyone."

"know!"

……

The greatest significance of this shoot for Shen Liang was that it completed the process of demystifying Andy Lau.

He had no personality on set...

Personal charm is almost non-existent!
Similar to Louis Koo.

Just treat filming as a job!
He rarely expresses his attitude towards his partner...

Be kind to others…

Being kind to others in this sense actually means keeping a distance from everyone...

It just feels quite boring.

However, Shen Liang still admired him very much. He shot the big night scenes over and over again for seven consecutive days, and he was beaten for seven days!

Not a single complaint.

Still very dedicated.

Naza said that she likes Andy Lau very much and wanted to take a photo with him, so she decided to bring her along to the dinner!
When I told her about it, Naza was really excited...

After changing clothes and putting on makeup again in a hurry, Shen Liang almost fell asleep after waiting for half an hour...

"Let's go!"

"Oh,"

Shen Liang opened the door and said, "I'll finish shooting tomorrow..."

"and then?"

“…Then, there are a few New Year’s Eve shows to attend!”

"…Then I'll go to Hengdian the day after tomorrow…" "Are you going to work?"

Naza nodded: "If I don't work, the management team will come to kill me."

Shen Liang casually said: "If you don't want to work, I will support you!"

“…Who wants to support me? I can make money on my own!”

"That is, being an independent woman, pursuing a career and making money is the truth."

Naza curled her lips without saying anything, turned her head and looked out the window, and suddenly remembered something: "…I just saw someone secretly filming, is everything okay?"

"What could possibly happen? You're single, I'm single too, it's just some hype at best..."

"Won't it affect you?"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "My fans don't care about this!"

“…You’re such a great fan!”

“…They care about my job more than I do.”

“Are they all career fans?”

"Almost," Shen Liang explained, "They care about my status and whether I have broken the law. Because I can get discounts every time I live broadcast and sell goods, they care more about the discounts... It's very realistic."

"What do you mean? I don't understand..."

"…It's okay… We're here!"

……

Naza doesn’t know much about live streaming sales.

As a high-income person, she doesn't care about the price when buying things.

Oh, when we got to the box, Shen Liang introduced Naza as a good friend...

good friend?
A fuck buddy!
The people present knew the truth and did not delve into the relationship between the two.

Naza still knew the basic etiquette and greeted everyone one by one, appearing to be very well-behaved.

The people present here are all veterans who have been in the industry for more than ten years, and these things are no longer surprising to them.

He was quite satisfied with Naza's attitude and had no intention of asking questions actively.

Naza sat next to Wanqian and ate quietly...

At the dinner, a group of people were talking about the filming of "The Crowd".

The filming of "The Crowd" started in early November and was basically completed at the end of December...

The efficiency is still very high!
During the filming process, everyone got along well.

Everyone had a great meal and a happy chat, and then they talked about the Lunar New Year movie…

Rao Xiaozhi suddenly said, "Brother Liang is really amazing. A low-cost romance film won the box office championship of the period. I checked and the box office has reached 18 billion today!"

"…luck!"

Liu Dehua, who had been silent, couldn't help but interrupt: "How much?"

Rao Xiaozhi pointed at his phone and said, "…just for this movie, Love Like a Bouquet, the cumulative box office is 18.32 billion…"

"18.32 billion...Hong Kong's annual box office is not even 18 billion!"

“…So, they all look for him to act in movies!” Rao Xiaozhi asked back, “You don’t know?”

"I rarely care about these. I only know that he starred in "The Wandering Earth" and "The Devil's Glory"..." Liu Dehua looked at Shen Liang and asked, "Then...then how much do you think "The Crowd" can earn at the box office?"

"Hard to say…"

Rao Xiaozhi was very confident: "At least 1.5 billion!"

"So sure?"

"Brother Hua, including you, the box office is less than 15 billion?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "Times have changed, and the audience will not only focus on who is the leading actor.

Whether the entire movie can make money, who the leading actor is is only the first hurdle. The audience’s own secondary promotion is the second hurdle, and there will be third and fourth promotions later.

After all, film is an industry that cannot be built by just one person.”

“You don’t have enough fans?”

"The market has changed a long time ago. It is no longer an era where we rely on the contributions of die-hard fans. If a movie wants to sell well, it must rely on the broadest group of passers-by. This group of people is not superstitious about celebrities, and at the same time, they have a precise but rough understanding of their own viewing needs..."

"…How did you know that?"

"Because I was born after 95, and the mainstream audience now is people born after 95... I know what they think!"

Wan Qian said: "No wonder you want to go to B station for New Year's Eve..."

"The main reason is that Station B gave me time to sing six songs solo..."
