I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 446: Acting Gap (13)

Zhen Zidan is a perfectionist!
In fact, when it comes to how to shoot fighting scenes, Zhen Zidan can be called a walking dictionary. He can stop just when he is about to touch you.

Then why is it so easy for people to get hurt in his fighting scenes?
Because the same shot often requires dozens of takes before being satisfied, which is caused by fatigue, accumulated bumps and some accidents.

As for personality...

To put it bluntly, everyone knows that if "Raging Fire" is to be a hit, it depends on Shen Liang...

Who dares to give him a hard time?
Moreover, according to Hong Kong media reports, Shen Liang is the "first person in the mainland film industry" who can arbitrarily ban top stars~
The attitude is naturally friendly.

However, Shen Liang did not praise Zhen Zidan too much...

Audiences are sometimes very forgetful. Negative news about a star may be settled or even forgotten after a few years or even months. Audiences are sometimes very vengeful. They are so vengeful that when they see a person, they will dig up his past and feel disgusted with him.

Unfortunately, Zhen Zidan is the latter.

Whenever he is mentioned, I think of the phrase 'Don't be too Zhen Zidan'!

This kind of thing has become a fixed label and is difficult to change.

So, Shen Liang talked about action movies.

"I think there has always been a market for action movies. In recent years, Korean action movies have been sold all over the world. Are they better than the early classic Hong Kong action movies?"

"I have always felt that the decline of Chinese action movies is actually due to the lack of action stars. People watch action movies just to see those few stars. If you make Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie 20 years younger and make a serious action movie, people will definitely watch it."

"'The Evil Dead' is an attempt... The box office in Hong Kong was 3200 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total box office in Southeast Asia was close to 800 million US dollars. This shows that the audience still likes to watch it, and the market is still there!"

“…I don’t want to transform into an action actor, I just want to prove that there is still a market for action movies!”

"Reviving action movies... Haha, I'm not the big brother, this is not something I consider. Only the big brothers in the industry need to consider it. Now Wu Jing is considering it..."

"Of course he has to think about it. He is the representative of the new generation of action stars. A lot of people call him Big Brother. Do you think this Big Brother is called for nothing? I tell you, the market will always need action actors. Sometimes it needs more, sometimes it needs less. It all depends on whether the leader can lead them to catch up with the trend of the times. The leader is called Big Brother!"

"…Extraction…is a bit difficult. Mainly because of the script…"

Regarding "Extreme Rescue", the main plot is actually very simple:
After receiving the mission to rescue the son of a certain boss, the mercenary played by Shen Liang embarks on a series of thrilling escape stories...

That’s right, he’s a mercenary!
The mercenary theme has relatively flexible tasks, providing more space for plot and action settings.

——Mercenaries serve their financial backers, which means they are basically not bound by ethics and rules, and team members can use a variety of weapons and tactics.

There are also problems: the behavior lacks legitimacy, especially the lack of support from national and ethnic consciousness.

If the protagonists of a movie do not behave in a legitimate way, it will be difficult for them to gain recognition from the audience, let alone receive high praise from them.

Refer to western movies, the protagonist is a bounty hunter, but he is often not afraid of violence and acts chivalrously in small towns, using altruistic behavior to gain justice!
Once this sense of justice is lost, the audience will not be able to empathize...

The solution is to make the characters legitimate...

But this stuff is hard to make legitimate!

Moreover, the positioning of "Extreme Rescue" is extreme individualism - the main line of rescue connects a series of exciting action scenes.

The problem is that extreme individualism will definitely be criticized!

Shen Liang won't take the role until he comes up with a solution.

……

On the 18th, Qin Lan finished her role and prepared to return to the mainland!

She played Lan Keying in only two scenes - a common routine in police and gangster films: if the protagonist's wife does not have any important role but appears frequently, especially if she has special physical conditions such as pregnancy, injury, disability, etc., she will usually be used to blackmail the protagonist.

Lan Keying must be used to threaten Zhang Chongbang, in order to constitute the ultimate multiple-choice question of the film and television drama: "How to choose between justice and emotion."

This is also the only role played by Lam in the whole film, but the creators have some conscience. After the explosion, Lam and the baby in her belly are fine. Back then, in "New Police Story" also directed by Benny Chan, Charlie Young played Jackie Chan's girlfriend, who was threatened with a bomb by the gangster played by Daniel Wu. Although she managed to escape in the end, she still had half of her face disfigured.

So, Shen Liang would say, "Chen Musheng has become a lot softer-hearted!"
After Qin Lan finished filming, she took a group photo with the creative team and then went back to the hotel to change clothes. Shen Liang couldn't hide his disappointment: "You're going back today?"

"…What's wrong? Can't bear to leave me?"

"Well, now that you're gone, there's no one left to talk to!"

“…Then I won’t leave?”

"Are you staying here for the New Year?"

"I have another movie to shoot..."

Qin Lan smiled and kissed him: "I'm leaving, don't miss your sister!"

Turn around and leave the room...

Shen Liang’s loss was not acted. After all, it was nice to have a gentle older sister who could chat and provide erotic value!
However, he will only feel uncomfortable for a short time, because he will officially start filming starting tomorrow.

……

Wo Hop Shek Cemetery, Hong Kong.

Qiu Gangao and his group paid tribute to Abiao, and Zhang Chongbang also came.

Qiu Gangao and Zhang Chongbai's first reunion...

At this time, Zhang Chongbang did not doubt Qiu Gangao, and spoke as before:
"Ao, last week a group of people who knew about the police's deployment suddenly showed up, robbed the gangs, and killed many people, including eight of us, including Lao Yao..."

"How could you be so careless?" Shen Liang replied casually...

"Lao Yao has been a policeman for more than 30 years. He is a good policeman and a good man. You know, he was the one who brought me to be a policeman..."

"I know," Shen Liang continued to smile nonchalantly...

Shen Liang turned his head and looked at him: "Without him, you wouldn't be a policeman; without you, I wouldn't be a policeman..."

Zhen Zidan's expression is still stern...

Shen Liang pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at the man he once regarded as his brother, but his smile did not reach his eyes, which were full of irony.

What I was thinking was: Lao Yao died last week, in my hands, I pushed him down with my own hands - and I died a few years ago, in your hands, you pushed me down with your own hands...

"Click..."

Chen Musheng shouted "click" and hesitated a little...

He clearly felt that Zhen Zidan was suppressed...

In fact, Zhang Chongbang's attitude should be friendly now, but... Zhen Zidan's expression seems to have known that Qiu Gangao is the murderer...

"…director?"

"OK, passed!"

Chen Musheng reacted and passed it directly!
He knew Zhen Zidan, and this was his normal performance.

"Liangzi, how did you design Qiu Gangao?"

"…Just follow the script. He used to worship Zhang as an idol…"
