I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 444: Oh my god, this is how efficient Auntie is? (23)

Shen Liang's first impression of Qin Lan was not "My Fair Princess 3" but "The Romance of the Tang Dynasty"...

This drama... is hilarious!

A large-scale family ethics drama. In the first episode, Li Shimin forced his eldest sister-in-law, promised not to kill her, but then regretted it...

Qin Lan played Wu Meiniang, a young girl, and Huo Yaming played Li Zhi. The two even flirted with each other in front of Li Shimin's bed...

This was also the first time Shen Liang knew what NTR was...

By the way, Fang Yiai in “A Story of Romance in Tang Dynasty” is played by… Mr. Pan Yueming!

Well, the Cuckold King of the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Lan opened the door and Shen Liang gave her the flowers: "Sister Lan, Happy New Year!"

"…new year?"

"It's just New Year's Day!"

"…I'm so confused, come in and sit down…"

Qin Lan pulled Shen Liang in and complained, "It's a mess here... Do you want some water?"

Shen Liang nodded: "...Okay."

"Please sit down first. I'll make you some tea..."

"Do you have any tea here?"

"I brought it from home."

After the tea was brewed, Qin Lan brought it to Shen Liang and asked, "Are you here today?"

"Um...what about you?"

“I’ve been here for a week…”

"Have you filmed your scenes yet?"

"Not yet... My part is so small, so we'll finish filming quickly!"

Shen Liang smiled and said, "…Director Benny Chan's movies never have much room for female characters to perform. 'Raging Fire' is pretty good. At least it didn't blow you to death!"

If the film had been shot in the style of previous films like that of Benny Chan, Lan Keying, played by Qin Lan, would have definitely died.

"The True Colors of a Man" directly killed Xie Tingfeng's fiancée;

In "The Brink", Jiang Suying's role seems very important at first glance, but then he was shot to death by Cao Shaolin, played by Louis Koo!

A straight man...

Therefore, it is very likely that "A Moment of Romance" was not written by him!

Qin Lan nodded: "When I first saw that my character was a pregnant wife, I guessed that she might die... but she didn't die."

"He's gotten older, and he's become a lot softer!"

"You just said that he is not good at portraying female characters. Isn't that right? I have seen the movie 'New Crane Needle' directed by him, and I was deeply impressed by the female characters in it!"

“…I’ve also seen it, and was deeply impressed by a line in it!”

"Which line?"

"I will use my internal energy to force out the things you left in my body!"

Qin Lan rolled her eyes at him, and Shen Liang quickly changed the subject: "But that was a movie produced by Tsui Hark, including his first movie A Moment of Romance, which was also produced by Johnnie To." After a pause, Shen Liang added: "In Hong Kong, the producer is equivalent to the chief director!"

"really?"

"Of course it's true. Johnnie To and Tsui Hark were both producers at TV stations. In TV stations, the producer is the most important position, and is the core position that controls the entire creation. In the film industry, this trend continues. As long as they are listed as producers, they like to have full control: they want to control the script themselves, teach the actors themselves, shoot the shots themselves, and decide on the editing themselves..."

"I see... You really know a lot!"

“…I only found out about this by looking up information…”

Shen Liang was about to answer when Qin Lan suddenly stood up and opened the refrigerator: "Do you want some fruit?"

“…I don’t feel like eating now.”

"That's right," Qin Lan looked at the time and said, "Let's go downstairs to eat!"

“…Then let’s go!”

……

In fact, after the co-production regulations stipulated that mainland actors must participate, the production companies used mainland actresses represented by the "Four Dan and Two Bing" as the female leads, in exchange for ensuring that the male leads of co-productions are Hong Kong artists. Therefore, mainland actresses, such as Gong Li and Siqin Gaowa of the older generation, and Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Zhao Yanzi of the middle generation, have won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards many times in the past decade.

But their roles are quite marginal.

Fan Xiaopang plays a working girl, and Zhang Jingchu is almost a professional prostitute in Hong Kong movies!

Later, Chun Xia, Zeng Meihuizi, and Liu Yase all won awards for playing marginal roles...

Oh, Shen Liang has no feelings for Qin Lan.

This is true, after all, the age gap is too big!
Not within range.

He respected her very much, and when they were eating, Qin Lan deliberately used her foot to hook him...

This... is a bit too much!

You are 16 years older than him.

Well, this is normal. Everyone loves beauty. Shen Liang is indeed handsome...

It’s also quite popular!

It's abnormal to like middle-aged or older greasy men.

After returning to the room, Shen Liang was about to show his strengths, Qin Lan knelt down, and Shen Liang was not to be outdone, he also spoke eloquently...

……

"Brother Donnie!"

"Liangzai..."

The crew met, Shen Liang met Zhen Zidan...

It’s just a meeting, Shen Liang won’t shoot for the time being!

First, a half-month training...

Zhen Zidan has worked with Benny Chan twice, both in TV series.

In 94, Hong Kong Asia Television's -episode martial arts TV series "Hung Hei-gun" began.

Donnie Yen not only stars in the film but also serves as the action director.

Hong Xiguan learned Hung Gar and used the tiger-crane double form to defeat his enemies. Zhen Zidan combined the presentation of his actions with the growth of the characters. The more intense the plot, the more complex the fighting scenes he designed.

Chen Musheng relied on his talent as a director to try out a variety of visual expressions, changing camera angles, and controlled camera movements...

"Hung Hei-gun" has good ratings!

Since their first collaboration went very smoothly, the two of them put their energy into their next TV series, "Fist of Fury".

"Fist of Fury" has become a very stylish TV series.

Zhen Zidan's action design already has a lot of modern fighting concepts...

After working in Hollywood for a few years, he returned to Hong Kong and created his own style of action design in "SPL" and "Flash Point"!
The action design of "Raging Fire" also reflects the modern fighting concept...

Shen Liang has admired Zhen Zidan for a long time - the action director of "The Wandering Earth", Mr. Yan Hua, is a member of the Zhen family team!

The Yan Clan has become the backbone of the Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese-language kung fu film industry. In addition to Yan Hua (A Man's Martial Arts, Hidden Man, The Wandering Earth), backbones such as Kenji Tanigaki (Rurouni Kenshin series, Monster Hunt series, Hidden Man), and Yu Kang (Chasing the Dragon, Wuxia) have also become the backbone of kung fu films.

In fact, Zhen Zidan's movies always have a poor grasp of the story. If there is no suitable director to control the script, then Zhen Zidan's movies will definitely not solve the problem of why fighting, that is to say, the story is weak.

This is the difference between him and Jet Li...

However, in terms of how to fight, he is definitely one of the best in Hong Kong!
Therefore, Shen Liang had to learn the action routines for half a month before the official filming...

Yan Hua was very familiar with him, so he handed the task over to him!

I really learned it, especially using the butterfly knife...

In fact, the purpose of using a butterfly knife is purely to look good.

The butterfly knife techniques can be roughly divided into three categories: finger-wrapping, handle-rubbing, and throwing and catching…

Among them, wrapping around the fingers and rubbing the handle are relatively simple, while throwing and catching is more difficult.

If you want to challenge, you have to challenge the most difficult one: throwing and catching with both hands skillfully, steadily, and smoothly around the fingers, which is both entertaining and difficult!

But this thing is actually a high-end version of the fidget spinner...

The practical significance of a butterfly knife is not even as good as that of a folding knife, let alone a dagger!
But... Wu Jing has already played the dagger, and Shen Liang is unlikely to surpass it...
