I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 47 Ma Dong
“Are there any good scripts?”

"...No," Chen Jiadong said bluntly, "Don't you think about it? We are newcomers and not professional actors yet. How can a good script be chosen for us?"

“…Have you heard of any good projects?”

Chen Jiadong immediately said, "Yes, there are self-produced dramas produced by Tencent: "Fighting Through the Heavens", "Ever Night", "The King's Avatar"... These three are S+ projects!"

Shen Liang was speechless: "You said I'm S+ level, how could they possibly use me?"

"If I can't play the leading role, I can play a supporting role!"

"Forget it." After thinking for a while, Shen Liang shook his head: "I don't have the habit of acting as a supporting role for others."

"…But now you don't even like the dramas that are willing to let you star in."

"...It's okay, just accumulate slowly..." Shen Liang closed his eyes, leaned his head on the back seat, and said, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry..."

"alright."

"By the way, if there is any news about the adaptation of the two dramas "Celebrating Yu Nian" and "Go Go Squid!"

"it is good…"

Needless to say, "Joy of Life" is the top-notch level of Tencent's self-produced dramas. It has political intrigues, the martial arts world, martial arts, suspense, and romance. It has many elements and a fresh plot, which is also a motivation for people to continue watching.

Shen Liang is ready to recommend himself...

Although the probability of interception is not high - "Joy of Life" is a project of New Classics Media, and the cast is basically New Classics + Xitian Entertainment... they are their own people!

Zhang Ruoyun is a second-generation star, and has close ties with this group of people. Shen Liang... is also a second-generation star, and although there are some intersections, they are not many...

decide as things go.

As for "Squidward!", it is actually "Dear, Beloved!".

This drama is produced by Huace's Kedun Media. Huace's key dramas for next year are actually "The Rise of Phoenixes" and "The Age of Entrepreneurship". "Go Go Squid!" is not considered a key drama...

It's not that there is no chance at all!
……

"Tsk, tsk, hip-hop is really hot!"

"... I took away your business... You're not angry at all?"

In the room, Chen Jiadong received a call from Ma Hao, saying that the business that had been negotiated was intercepted...

Well, it was taken down by PG One!
After The Rap of China, PG One became extremely popular, winning the endorsement of Estee Lauder lipstick and OPPO mobile phones, and creating promotional songs for the Spider-Man series of movies and the online game League of Legends...

In comparison, Shen Liang is a traditional idol. Although he has commercial value, he is weaker than PG One, at least at this stage.

After all, PG One has appeared on the advertising screen in New York's Times Square...

Moreover, brands in various industries targeting young groups, including clothing, soft drinks, fast-moving consumer goods, etc., also regard "hip-hop" as a way to get closer to the youth market.

Maybe in the eyes of advertisers, hip-hop represents a new trend...

Shen Liang didn't have any thoughts about this: "This is a very normal thing. PG One is really very popular now..."

“…I don’t think he’s anything special!”

"Yes!" Shen Liang nodded: "Hip-hop has no market in China. These hip-hop singers can never become mainstream!"

“Can’t become mainstream? Why?”

"When you become a public figure and step onto the public stage, never challenge what most people dare to think or say." Chen Jiadong was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Do you mean that when you stand on the popular stage, you must obey the mainstream culture and public aesthetics?"

Shen Liang: “That’s right!”

"Yes, I've listened to PG One's songs, and they're nothing but drugs, flirting with girls, and money... Songs like this are naturally not popular with the masses!"

"Hip-hop is the resistance of black Americans to the apartheid system. Under unfair treatment, they use anti-social and anti-elite methods to express their desire for freedom and happiness. Domestic hip-hop singers also find it difficult to understand the inner thoughts of black people. All they can learn is the external appearance - bad friends, money worship, foul language and clothing. They learn to be fierce and show off their wealth. These people can only be popular for a while at most..."

"…Then I'll go to the next room. You should get ready."

"Ah."

what to prepare?
Of course it’s the topic of the debate on “The Debaters”!
……

“The Debaters” is a debate show…

Ma Dong created this groundbreaking online variety show in 2014.

Ma Dong is really amazing!

In fact, if he simply wanted to make money, he could just cater to the masses: buy copyrights, hire big names, and make big investments!
With Ma Dong's connections and abilities, he could certainly do so, but he didn't, and still catered to the public well in terms of variety show format; on the other hand, Ma Dong's presence determined the depth of the show...

The first season of "The Debaters" was really awesome. It was both entertaining and thought-provoking.

This debate-based program is very good at capturing hot topics - the debate topics can be self-written.

The audience is active internet users, young people aged 17 to 25.

Output some rather bizarre content that can hit some of the softest pain points in people's hearts. Basically, once they are hit, they will continue to chase it regardless of whether it looks good or not.

But there are also problems. Since the show "The Debaters" became popular, many guests, the most typical of which is those headed by Ma Weiwei, have formed groups!
It’s not that they haven’t made their own shows before. Miwei wanted to use this show to cultivate internet celebrities that would flourish everywhere, but without exception they all died out quickly and didn’t even make a splash.

But these people have already tasted the sweetness of traffic and have nowhere to go, so they can only continue to return to "The Debaters" to rely on their parents.

In fact, it is about forming cliques and factions, firmly grasping existing connections and vested interests, and creating cliques!
This behavior of occupying ecological niches has greatly suppressed the replacement and growth of new wonders, and also affected the program...

This group of contestants not only lack variety show skills, but also variety show ethics. They have been perfunctory and openly engaged in dinner party culture on the show more than once.

But these people are your people, what can you do?

So, Ma Dong stopped playing and started doing "Summer of the Band" and "Annual Comedy Competition"...

The fourth season... we invited He Jiong to host, and we also invited Luo Zhenyu, Zhang Quanling, Cai Kangyong, and Ma Dong. There are five mentors + a host in each episode, and we also have to invite flying guests. It feels like there is no room in the chairman's seat!

Oh, Shen Liang is the guest star...

The topic of this debate is "Is it a virtue to not cause trouble to others?"

When Shen Liang saw this topic, he was a little confused, because the phrase "sorry to bother you" seems to be often used by Japanese people - "trouble" is called "迷惑をかける" in Japanese, and the first rule in Japan is "don't bother others"...

Is not bothering others a virtue?

Isn't this a human's duty?
Helping you solve problems is virtue, right?

What is there to debate?
Is Mi Wei out of his mind?

This kind of topic is also being discussed?

Then when I got on the show, I realized how outrageous I was and how a lot of people there were talking nonsense!
This is really bullshit...
