I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 487: Dinner (33)

Lou Jian is very grateful to Shen Liang!
The drama "Lotus Tower" has a total of 42 episodes - including the extras, the cost is close to 2.5 million.

This is the most expensive drama directed by Lou Jian - there is a big difference in production between rich crews and poor crews: a 3000 yuan headgear is different from a 200 yuan one. The beauty is presented in the lens, and bad things will make you feel particularly uncomfortable when watching them.

Most of it was spent on production.

The total pay for the actors and crew was less than 5500 million, of which Shen Liang's pay was 3000 million + 20% of the profit share.

It's a friendship price.

The entire drama of "Lotus Tower" is built around Shen Liang, so it is not excessive to charge him 3000 million yuan for the film.

Three months, 90 days, the daily income is less than 40...

It’s a long way from 208!

Of course, if we add the 20% profit share, it is estimated to be over 8000 million!
But this is post-production profit sharing, it has nothing to do with pre-production and will not be counted in the production!

Lou Jian also invested 15%...

The main reason why he was able to get an investment share from Tencent was because he was the director designated by Shen Liang!
Shen Liangzhen thinks that this director is of good level. Although Lou Jian has not produced many works, his performance is relatively stable. The lowest-rated of his works is "Storyteller" starring Xiao Shenyang, which only has 6.4 points, and the highest-rated is "The Imperial Coroner", which has a score of 8.4.

The scores of the remaining works are all above 7.5 points.

Moreover, this director loves making movies!
This is not easy, as many successful directors do not direct the films themselves. Therefore, too many so-called big productions with good teams and famous directors will produce terrible things!
If the chief director doesn't direct, he relies on the assistant director; if the chief screenwriter doesn't write the script, he relies on the screenwriter team; if the protagonist doesn't act, he relies on the stand-in; in the end, the only effort is to promote...

Various marketing, hot searches...

Everyone in the industry has no artistic pursuit, and they still blame the audience for being picky!
Shen Liang had seen this kind of thing in the original time and space.

Therefore, Shen Liang was very confident in handing over the role of "Lotus Tower" to director Lou Jian.

……

Shen Liang returned to his own place - just like the last time he filmed "The Imperial Coroner", the crew rented him a house with a small courtyard in the suburbs of Dongyang!
The crew and several female members of the group who participated in "Lotus Tower" were discussing:
"Didn't I say that Brother Liang is here?"

"I heard about it too. Should we go visit?"

"Of course we should go... He is our legitimate senior!"

"Let's go!"

Actually there are only three people, Liu Xianing, Zhang Yifan and Wang Yijin...

All of them have acted in dramas, and some have even starred in hit dramas - Wang Yijin starred in "Youth"...

Zhang Yifan has starred in "Better Days" and Liu Xining has also starred in "Hello, Debaters".

At least I know how filming of movies and TV series works.

The crew’s attitude towards these three people…can’t be said to be friendly, but not too distant either. After all, they were recommended by Tengxun, and the three of them stick together.

Oh, "Lotus Tower" has been filmed for about ten days, and all of them have nothing to do with Li Lianhua.

The three of them went to the lounge, and only Hu Xianxu was memorizing the script.

"Where's Liang?"

Hu Xianxu explained: "Brother Liang went back to rest. He just finished shooting yesterday and flew here from Guiyang overnight. The director saw that he was not in good condition..."

“…Ah? When did you return?”

"Just now... Don't you have his contact information?"

“…We haven’t even met Liang Ge!”

Hu Xianxu chuckled and said, "I have his WeChat number."

Zhang Yifan rolled his eyes at him, turned around and walked out of the lounge, saying, "What's the big deal... Let's go back first!"

The three of them returned to their lounge, and Zhang Yifan said, "Boss Ma said that if you encounter any problems on the set, you can contact Brother Liang!" "Should we contact him?"

“…try making a phone call?”

"You hit!"

“…I’ll hit you if I want to!”

……

Shen Liang just feels a little tired, he just needs to rest for a while!
Sometimes I feel that I am really dedicated. I work hard day and night but I still don’t forget my job...

Hey, for the audience, our top-tier Liang Ge really puts in a lot of effort!

After arriving at the room, he first recorded a thank-you video - the Academy Awards will be presented tomorrow, and he should win the Best Newcomer Award.

It was nothing more than thanking director Chen Musheng, thanking the crew of "The Devil", and by the way, saying "Actor Shen Liang will continue to work hard!"

Then I sent it to the director team...

It can be regarded as a VCR acceptance speech.

As for the Best Supporting Actor, it's unlikely that he'll win, after all, the prefix of the Academy Awards is "Hong Kong Film"...

The reason for winning the Newcomer Award, apart from public relations, is mainly because there haven’t been any good newcomers in Hong Kong films in decades!

Last year's best newcomer Ling Wenlong, born in 86...

This year, several of the nominees include Au Ka-man for "Uncle Uncle", E Jingwen for "The New King of Comedy", and Li Wanda for "Ip Man 4: The Finale"...

Except for Au Ka-man, who is a local Hong Kong actor, the others are from mainland China.

It would be a bit unreasonable not to give it to Shen Liang!
After recording the VCR, Shen Liang prepared to check Weibo...

Recently, public opinion has been concerned about "The Eight Hundred", or in other words, boycotting Guan Hu.

This is quite normal - in the "post-epidemic era", Chinese people pay great attention to cultural confidence, but some so-called literary and artistic celebrities are spineless!
Guan Hu has a kind of philistinism that is unique to "intellectuals". I don't know who gave him this confidence, but he always thinks that the people are ignorant, the government is stupid, and that he is the only one who is noble and sober, and he is extremely petty bourgeois.

Thinking that they are awesome is actually a common problem among most people in the film and television industry. They always feel that the industry they are in is superior to others.

It’s also true – twenty years ago, those who could be directors and make movies were the privileged ones!

From the appearance, this person seems very crazy. If you think about it carefully, isn't this the style of the mad scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties? To be more precise, it is the feeling of the old intellectuals in the Republic of China: facing the mainstream values, I remain "neutral" and even add a little criticism. I don't cooperate with the upper class, and I don't cooperate with the lower class. I can speak for you, but I am not the same as you! I am your mentor, and my responsibility is to educate you! Be your opinion leader!

So, Guan Hu is essentially the same type of person as the writer Fang Fang and Ai Da Jin. They belong to the same circle and formally engage in the “seeing the big picture from the small details”, “the big meaning from the small details” and “seeing the leopard through the tube”…

This kind of flavor is particularly strong in the literary and art circles!

Therefore, the teacher wanted to publish the Yan'an Literature and Art Symposium, so in 2014, there was a national literature and art representative symposium...

Ahem, besides "Eight Hundred", there is also... "Mulan"...

"Mulan"... There is news that it will not be released in theaters, but will be directly released on streaming media!
Liu Yifei’s fans are going crazy - our Xixi hasn’t taken any projects for more than two years because of this drama... and now you tell me this is a web movie?
Yes, Liu Yifei took on the role in "Mulan" and her fans are going crazy - an opportunity to go international!

The team and her fans see this movie as a chance to soar to fame...

Don’t be impatient, you will feel uncomfortable when you see the finished film!

The internationally successful Disney heroine returned to China to film a period drama...

Hey, if "Dream of Red Mansions" wants to find Shen Liang, how should Shen Liang refuse?
That she is too old?
Too fat?

Plump and adorable!
Shen Liang was just thinking about it when he received a call from Zhang Yifan...

"Are you all in the crew? Do you have a scene today?"

“…Then I’ll treat you guys to a meal later!”
