I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 468: Ranking and Status (24)

The dog-licking diary and the quotations of the ancestors are his main business...

Back then, he relied on this to become an internet celebrity and earned the persona of 'Aquaman'!
However, at this stage, in addition to these things, he also said a lot of chicken soup...

"When you earn a few thousand dollars a month, if you wear a necklace worth tens of thousands, people will think it's fake. When you earn tens of thousands a month, if you wear a fake one, people will think it's real. Now you should make money quickly and don't waste money on these decorations."

“Let me tell you, playing games, hanging out in nightclubs, dancing, staying up late, getting tattoos, smoking, these things may seem cool, but indeed, there is no distinction between high and low in lifestyles. Everyone has their own choices and their own way of living.

But I still hope you know that these things are not difficult at all. As long as you are willing to do them, most of them can be done.

What’s cooler is the things that are not easy to do, such as reading, working out, and making money.”

"I rarely go to nightclubs. After my debut, I basically don't go... Mainly because I don't like it."

"I basically don't do clubbing, staying up late, getting tattoos, smoking, etc., except staying up late, because it's normal for the crew to shoot all night, you can't delay the entire crew's process because of yourself!"

"As long as I have time, I will go to the gym..."

"Transformation? What transformation? I didn't become famous by relying on traffic..."

"I'm about to join the crew of "Peak Explosion". Yes, I'm in quarantine in Guizhou. "Peak Explosion" is being filmed in Guizhou, and the director is Li Jun..."

"Director Li Jun is quite capable. The only passing Sino-Korean co-production in the past few years, "The Great Reversal", was his work. I know the original script, which was originally a very good genre film script, but then the characters and scenes were changed, and it was changed to the point of being broken and full of plot holes. A well-made suspense drama will burst if two key points are removed..."

"Rouba? She seems to have gone to Hengdian. We are not together..."

……

Shen Liang was indeed not with Rouba...

Rouba went to Hengdian to film "The Long Ballad". The director is Zhu Ruibin, the screenwriters are Pei Yufei and Chang Jiang, and the stylist is Fang Sizhe. This team is pretty good!

It’s the S+ head project of Tencent Video.

However, the data of this drama is not very good. The number of views, reputation and market share are not as good as those of iQiyi's "The Sword and the Brocade" in the same period...

In fact, "The Long Ballad" is not bad, at least it is passable - overseas sales have also set a record of $18 per episode...

——Costume dramas are the type of dramas with the highest overseas distribution costs, "usually $70,000 to $80,000 per episode," and platforms such as Netflix and Disney+ will bid even higher.

The previous record was $15 per episode of Joy of Life…

Also, let me say: "Want to See You" costs $12 per episode.

However, the CP feeling between the male and female protagonists of "The Long Ballad" is too weak. After all, Wu Lei is 7 years younger than Rouba, and the two of them directly cooperated in magazine shooting - because of the ranking issue, the teams of both sides were a little unhappy...

In the crew of "The Long Ballad", the male team wanted to fight for equal roles, while the female team insisted that the female lead role must be the first...

It is highly likely that Rouba is the number one, after all, Wu Lei has no other representative works except "Sand Sea"!

The ranking... still needs to be taken seriously.

In fact, Shen Liang is very aware of his status. The most typical example is that he almost never agrees to guest star...

Once he agrees to a guest role too easily, the production team and the audience will automatically give him a promotion.

This has led to many second and third-tier works being mistaken for his works because there are no big names behind them. Shen Teng is like this - when he was doing stage plays, as long as the actors had a good relationship, it was common for them to take turns playing the leading role. Today you play the male lead, tomorrow I play the male lead. Anyway, they are all unknown actors, and no one cares.

When he entered the film industry, he brought this habit with him.

However, "Super Family" is not on this list. "Super" and "Lone Moon" were signed under one agreement, which is a rare three-party strategic agreement among China Film, Mahua and Alibaba. Mahua is in charge. The two films may have a total common budget of 6 to 8 million yuan.

Shen Teng himself is very optimistic about the project "Lone Moon", but according to regulations, the two projects must be sold as a bundle, which is a last resort.

Therefore, in "Super Family", Shen Teng must be the second role. In fact, if he had not had too few roles, Mahua would dare to give him the first role, because director Song Yang + first role Allen cannot afford a big movie with a production cost of 3 million yuan. Without Shen Teng's approval, the movie would never be launched.

Later, Shen Teng also learned that in "Man Jiang Hong", Yi Yang Qianxi wanted to play the lead role, and Yi Yang Qianxi was the male lead first. If Shen Teng didn't care, it wouldn't be impossible for him to do him a favor.

But Shen Teng was determined to put all mainland promotional materials at the front!
Many marketing accounts are boasting that "Shen Teng and Wu Jing don't care about their ranking"...

They may not care, but their team certainly does!
——Except for very rare cases, anyone at the top of the industry will not easily play a supporting role...

In fact, with Shen Liang’s current status, if he were to accept a film according to normal business logic, he would not play a supporting role!

The script handed to him would not give him the supporting male role, at most he would be the dual male lead.

Unless there is a tiny possibility that "the script is too good and the person I work with is also very capable", but this is an opportunity that can only be encountered by chance.

……

In addition to live broadcasting, Shen Liang will also communicate with the crew of "Peak Explosion"...

Following Shen Liang's advice, the crew cut down on the family scenes and focused on presenting the disaster and emergency response - they were pursuing a fast pace.

In addition, the original cost was 2 million yuan - the Ministry of Railways gave 8000 million yuan.

Shen Liang Studio added 50 million, all spent on special effects...

The original version of "Peak Burst" was a typical example of poor special effects that sought to create grand scenes, which became an unconcealable criticism of the film.

Also, the ending...

Shen Liang simply killed Hong Yizhou - there was no need to make a sequel, so there was no need to make it a martial arts film!

In the finale, Hong Yizhou recited the party oath or "Serve the People"...

Then face your own death calmly!
Shen Liang felt that "Serving the People" was more appropriate - the Chinese people are suffering, we have the responsibility to save them, we must work hard. To fight there will be sacrifices... We die for the people, and that is a worthy death.

Producer Lao Fu thinks the party oath is more appropriate...

It doesn’t matter. At worst, Shen Liang can do it all, and then let the people above decide when it’s screened internally!

"Peak Explosion" is a mission film and must be submitted for internal review.

Haha, "Changjin Lake" is also a mission film...

Yu Dong, Huang Jianxin and Wu Jing arrived at Guiyang, the hotel where Shen Liang was quarantined, in an attempt to persuade Shen Liang to participate!
Seeing the three of them, Shen Liang was stunned...

"Boss Yu, Director Huang, Brother Jing... why are you all here together?"
