I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 460 Confirming the Cast

Chapter 460 Confirming the Cast (33)

The entertainment industry is clearly divided into levels. First-tier stars are connected to first-tier resources, and second-tier stars are connected to second-tier resources. Skipping of levels rarely occurs.

Unless someone helps you.

Shen Liang is a top-tier star, and his film projects are first-tier resources!
Who are the top-tier movie stars at this stage?

Zhou Dongyu!
But Shen Liang and some people around him, including Guo Fan, Lu Yang, and Rao Xiaozhi, were determined not to use Zhou Dongyu!

Rumor in the circle: Shen Liang rejected "Better Days" because the heroine was Zhou Dongyu!
This is also true.

His movies usually use newcomers or his ex-girlfriends.

So, the cast list of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" was released, and everyone was quite shocked. The three main actors are: Shen Liang, Rouba, Liang Jiahui and Andy On...

The joining of Liang Jiahui and Andy On is understandable, after all, they are both from the Hong Kong circle.

It is normal for Shen Liang to play the leading male role as he is a top-tier star.

How did Rouba get the role?
In the past two years, Rouba has had a bad reputation. Rumor has it that he outshines women and pulls melons around men.

Doesn’t Shen Liang mind?
The key is that they have never had any scandals or hyped up a CP...

Shen Liang said publicly: Rouba came to play a cameo role, and then by chance...

As a veteran who has been in the industry for many years, Yang Mi knows very well that things will definitely not be that simple.

But it is what it is.

"After filming "The Raging Fire", I was originally planning to return to the mainland, but now there is nothing to do... I might as well take out the previously prepared projects and start filming them in advance."

"Rou Ba was indeed an accident. She just happened to be in Hong Kong... so she deserves a share!"

"She came here on her own initiative. We just happened to need a guest role..."

"I will definitely take good care of her... Don't worry about that."

"What's the big deal? Don't say such nonsense... I'm hanging up!"

"If there is a suitable work, I will definitely find you..."

"I usually don't take on outsourced projects... and I don't have the time..."

……

In fact, serious commercial films do not require high acting skills from actors.

Yang Mi is fully capable of doing the job and she has good resources.

Specifically referring to the field of small flowers!
After all, the only young actress with better "achievements" in film and television than her is Golden Horse Award winner Zhou Dongyu. The others are far behind. Even Liu Yifei, who starred in "Mulan", her overall performance was not as good as Yang Mi before the results of "Mulan" were released.

But she relies too much on exposure...

Weibo hot search annual package user!

The worst thing is the lack of continuous output of works...

Then the reputation got worse and worse.

The high exposure and bad reputation accumulated over the years damage the artist’s overall image and commercial value.

There are times when box office and ratings don’t work, and at that time, you have to rely on your work!
The biggest problem with idols is that after high-intensity exposure, they feel too awkward in film and television works, especially movies!

Her acting skills are not good enough to cover up this incongruity.

Then, with the joint efforts of all parties (internet trolls and black fans), this disharmony continues to circulate and amplify.

It is even more difficult for an idol to rely on his acting skills to improve his reputation than it was for his predecessor Fan Xiaopang. At least Xiaopang has a few decent film works and has won some reasonable awards, but they cannot shake off his status as a vase.

She is not in a hurry now - there is no competition, and it will take time for the younger generation to take over, so there is probably three or four years to operate.

However, the era of traffic is coming to an end, and she is getting older...

Therefore, she still pursues excellent works.

She said, "Invite Shen Liang for good works..." To be honest, Daliangzi didn't really believe in her vision.

After all, I can use "Harbin 1944" as a lifeline... I can open champagne halfway...

"Harbin 1944" has a good idea, but the plot arrangement is so bad... No wonder Zhang Yi refused it.

……

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", it was easy to find actors...

Actors in Hong Kong treat acting as a job, and they will come at any call. Therefore, many Hong Kong local films rarely use mainland actors.

In addition to the mismatch in style, the most important thing is that it is inconvenient - sometimes when we need to reshoot a scene, mainland actors have to apply for a visa to come over, which is really troublesome. For local Hong Kong actors, just a phone call is enough.

This was the original plan. Liang Jiahui played the Venerable, and Andy On was chosen to play the policeman Chen Hui who was chasing Chen Guilin... and Patrick Tam was chosen to play the Hong Kong role, and there were also people like Philip Keung.

Zhang Guiqing, just find a 40+ local Hong Kong actress...

Didn’t something happen last year...

Shen Liang requested a background check.

A background check must be done. If any bad remarks are exposed, won’t the show have to be reshot with different actors?

Shen Liang told Tsui Hark directly: "The cost of "Zhou Chu" is 6000 million Hong Kong dollars. Although it is not much, we must rely on the mainland to recoup the cost. If you don't do a background check, what will happen if something goes wrong before the release?"

"You can't even star in it?"

Shen Liang laughed and shook his head: "Better Days" is not going to be released because of the director's problems. And I can guarantee that it will not be released for at least three to five years!"

"so serious?"

Shen Liang: "The film industry is now under the control of the Propaganda Department, and ideological control is very strict! No matter who you are, if you don't follow the rules, you won't be allowed to be screened!"

Under the jurisdiction of the propaganda department, the biggest change for the domestic film market is the further reduction of the "commodity attributes" of films.

Since the Propaganda Department is in charge of publicity, it naturally attaches more importance to the publicity role of movies in dissemination.

Then, by 2022, the development of the film market has nothing to do with movies anymore.

Xu Ke nodded, indicating that he understood: "I will investigate it!"

"Well, Zhang Guiqing should look for Janice Man..."

“…OK!”

Janice Man is considered to be the only outstanding actress in the Hong Kong circle.

Shen Liang mentioned her name mainly because "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" needed a Hong Kong actress.

Tsui Hark suddenly laughed: "...Tony Leung likes the role of the Venerable very much."

“…This role is indeed quite interesting.”

Shen Liang was not surprised at all, because he thought the Venerable in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" was a very interesting character.

This is interesting from an actor's perspective.

Because it is difficult to have the opportunity to say these lines: "A natural disaster, an earthquake, so many innocent people died. Have you ever hated the sky? Have you ever hated the earth? We just killed a few more people, so what?"

If you want to see these, you can only watch the documentary about Xie Jiao: the original people, gathered together to play guitar, away from their families and the mundane world, treating cancer with love and light.

The taste is too strong!

"In fact, besides Liang Jiahui, Zhou Runfa is also interested in this script..."

"No!" Shen Liang flatly refused: "I don't like him, change someone else!"

"what…"

"Is there a problem?"

"No... I'm leaving first."

"Um…"

Tsui Hark never asked Shen Liang why he didn't like Chow Yun-fat - he knew the reason.

Zhou Runfa filmed several dramas in mainland China, and rumors of him being a big shot were spread in almost every one of them.

As for his disdain for mainland actors...

This thing is a solid hammer...

In the past, everyone still used filters, but later on…
