I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 486 See You Again (23)

"The villains directed by Chen Musheng are all very charming, such as A Zu in "New Police Story", Tian Yangsheng in "True Men", and Zhang Jiahui in "Drug War"..."

"It's the same with the character Qiu Gangao. Director Chen gave him too many highlights... I took the initiative to add a lot of violent and antisocial plots!"

“…You’ll know once you see it!”

"In fact, I didn't know who to ask for the cameo role at first. My original idea was to ask Director Benny Chan to call an actor from Hong Kong...it was just a cameo role anyway...Rouba called me and said she was coming to Hong Kong...so I called her right away!"

"We met while recording Go Fighting, and she taught me how to dance..."

"The girl has a nice personality and looks... pretty, so I left my contact information!"

"Get out of the way and let Rouba talk more... Damn, you guys are just a bunch of people who forget their principles for the sake of beauty..."

Having said that, Shen Liang still gave up his position...

Then Rouba started live streaming...

"I really like chatting with Liang Ge. He is very wise... and it is very easy to get along with him. You don't need to think about anything. If you want to lose your temper, you can lose your temper... It's the same when filming. He will do a lot of rehearsal work to adjust to a state that everyone feels comfortable, and then shoot..."

"Yes, we collaborated on "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils"..."

"I'm filming Glory...Yang Yang...I'm not very familiar with him yet..."

"Ahem," Shen Liang interrupted her: "There's no need to answer this kind of question..."

“Oh,” Rouba nodded and continued the live broadcast: “I was in the crew of “The Wrath of Time”… Actually, I only acted for one day. Later, I went to watch two scenes. Both scenes were scenes where Liang Ge was beaten… Well, he was beaten so badly… Zhen Zidan strangled his neck tightly with a stick, and then pressed him hard against the piano. His head brushed against the piano fiercely… It hurt just watching!”

Shen Liang was speechless: "Don't talk nonsense, I designed this scene, I begged Brother Zhen Zidan for half an hour before he agreed to shoot it, and it was passed in one take!"

"Are you a masochist?"

"No, it hurts only when you see it. It hurts only when the audience sees it. Action movies always require some sacrifices...Dan Ge was worried that if there were any protrusions on the black and white keys of the piano, my face would be chopped off. We checked the props several times, and he only did it after I assured him that nothing would go wrong!"

"So what do you think of Zhen Zidan?"

"Quite... He's the kind of martial arts actor who is a bit of a perfectionist. He has high requirements for action scenes... After all, he is one of the leaders of action movies. I like him very much." At this point, Shen Liang waved his hand: "Don't ask me anymore, answer the question yourself!"

……

The crew of "Lotus Tower" basically continued the behind-the-scenes lineup of "The Imperially Granted Coroner", except for the screenwriter, who was Liu Fang, Shen Liang's senior.

Liu Fang’s representative work is “The Glory of Tang Dynasty”. She is very good at writing the interactions and daily lives of the characters, which are full of life and warmth…

But she has a problem. She loves to talk about redemption and fate, and loves to break up and then chase her wife to the crematorium. Therefore, her dramas are all good in the first and second parts, but the middle part is just for the sake of torture. The love affairs become like paying off a debt in the end, and in the end the fans of the male lead and the female lead are arguing about who is sorry to whom and who owes whom more. This also prevents her from becoming a first-class screenwriter.

Shen Liang asked her to refer to Li Xun Huan when she adapted it...

The difference is that Li Xunhuan’s self-choice is exile, while Li Lianhua’s self-choice is to let go.

"He is happy to be alive, and he hopes that the people he loves are happy too... He is an open-minded person, so there should be less sad drama!"

Liu Fang revised the draft several times and then gave it to Lou Jian, who particularly liked this story...

By the way, the martial arts guidance and action design of "Lotus Tower" was found by Dong Wei's team. Shen Liang said that he hoped the actions in "Lotus Tower" would be like "Sword Rain"...

Shen Liang met the crew the next day...

There was no way. Rouba was very powerful, and Shen Liang himself had half blood. It was already very difficult to get a draw!

Just like that, Shen Liang didn’t wake up until 10 o’clock in the morning…

Rouba has left.

"Raging Fire" will be released on August 8th, two days away...

Due to the epidemic, cross-provincial travel is currently subject to objective restrictions, most offline marketing has been cancelled, and roadshows are even more impossible!

In fact, offline activities and the interaction between creators and audiences can easily lead to unexpected surprises in co-creation and provide a lot of material for short videos!

For long-running films with good reputation, the effect will become better and better as the roadshow goes on, and it will develop into an effect similar to a national tour.

Even the premiere was cancelled!
The premiere is still very important. Canceling the premiere means canceling the star promotion activities, which means it will be difficult for the media to report.

There will definitely be an impact! However, Shen Liang is not too worried. The quality of "Raging Fire" is still good, and with his appeal, it won't be a problem to break 1 billion.

……

"Xiao Hu!"

"Brother Liang!"

When Shen Liang arrived at the crew and saw Hu Xianxu, he immediately smiled and greeted him...

The entire "Lotus House" crew, most of the actors Shen Liang met for the first time, but Hu Xianxu had worked with them before - "Love Like a Bouquet" invited him to guest star...

"how are things?"

“…Just go to class…”

"You haven't graduated yet?"

"No, I'll be a junior next semester!"

“Are you all taking online classes now?”

"Well, we will be juniors when school starts. In juniors, we can go out to film, unlike freshmen and sophomores when we can only use the holidays."

"Lotus Tower" will take three months to shoot!"

“I told the school…”

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Liang went to meet the director...

"The Imperial Coroner" is almost finished.

According to the rankings released by third-party cloud and data, the effective playback volume of "The Imperial Coroner" reached 79.67 billion...

It’s twice as high as the second place “Three Lives Three Worlds: The Pillow Book”!
By the way, "Joy of Life" still ranks third with 35 billion effective broadcasts.

The series aired last year!

In addition, the number of views of "Want to See You" is 11.7 billion, ranking th...

Shen Liang's appeal is terrifying!
In terms of TV broadcast, "The Imperial Coroner" had a peak viewership rating of 4.6% and an average viewership rating of over 2.8, ranking first in the year on Dragon TV.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the ratings champion this year...

It exceeded the 2.53% of "An Jia" - the dual-channel broadcast of "An Jia" dispersed the ratings.

In addition, "The Imperial Coroner" directly made Meng Ziyi and Wang Churan famous, and also made director Lou Jian famous!

Therefore, the official announcement of "Lotus Tower" directed by Lou Jian and starring Shen Liang immediately attracted the attention of a lot of TV stations. Currently, Tencent is negotiating with CCTV...

Probably not likely...

Tencent certainly wants to continue with advanced on-demand streaming - the advanced on-demand streaming of "The Imperial Coroner" earned at least 6 million yuan!

Ahem...

Lou Jian was very happy to see Shen Liang: "You are finally here!"

"Director, long time no see..."

“…Why do you feel so listless?”

Shen Liang explained: "I didn't get enough rest... I came here as soon as the movie was finished..."

“…Then go back and take a rest. I’ll shoot you again tomorrow!”

"I haven't even said hello to the cast and crew yet!"

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future..."
