I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 491 Exclusive Interview

Chapter 491 Exclusive Interview (14)

To be honest, Shen Liang himself gave "Raging Fire" a score of around 7...

The script structure is very old-fashioned, and it all depends on the actors' performance...

I read the reviews online - it's not as good as "The Stormtroopers"...

In fact, "Undercover" is not a first-rate script!
The story is too simple and too taken for granted. Many details and plots are obviously transplanted directly from Hollywood movies of the same type, but have not been well localized.

For example, as a stormtrooper with relatively low authority, they dared to charge into the British military camp...

Although there is enough dramatic tension, it is obviously not rigorous enough.

Of course, this was also the crazy feature of Hong Kong movies back then!
In terms of plot design, "Stormtroopers" is a little weak, but in terms of character portrayal, it is really vivid and down-to-earth, especially the cold-faced Chen Xiaochun, the cynical Zhang Daming, the sophisticated Lin Shangyi, and the ruthless Yu Rongguang and Huang Moumou...

As long as the characters are compatible, the show will be interesting no matter what. This is the most unexpected thing about making movies in Hong Kong. The play may not be well-written, but relying on these few crazy actors, it is enough to make a second-rate script shine with first-rate brilliance!

"Street of Rage" shines thanks to Shen Liang's charm alone...

The character of Zhang Chongbang played by Zhen Zidan...is not as good as Qiu Gangao, not to mention his acting skills are not that good either.

It would be perfect if Zhang Chongbang could find Jackie Chan who is in his forties to play the role...

In fact, Shen Liang admires director Chen Desen more. Although his "Pointing at Bingbing: Young Detective" is not very famous, the portrayal of group scenes is really great.

Including "Purple Rain Storm" and "A Man's Martial Arts", the plots and themes are very good.

But Desen Chen is very close to Kexin Chen...

Shen Liang doesn't like Chen Kexin, and as a result, he doesn't like Chen Desen very much!
Oh, back to the crew of Lotus Tower...

In the afternoon, we mainly filmed the plot scenes...

"Lotus Tower" is a detective story, but the case is not the focus. The most important thing about "Lotus Tower" is Li Lianhua's long farewell to the underworld!
He fell from the altar, was betrayed by his friends, his lover changed his mind, and lost his health, but he did not complain or give up on himself. He still cared about food and vegetables, worked hard to make a living, and still trusted new friends. He did not lose the ability to love others or himself because of what he had suffered.

But the case is the main plot...

The description of the case in the original novel was quite poor, and the chief screenwriter Liu Fang was not very good at writing cases, so they found teacher Wei Fenghua.

Many cases were rewritten by Teacher Wei Fenghua. Oh, Teacher Wei Fenghua’s representative work is "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories"...

Very good at writing cases!

Director Lou Jian is also a detail control, so there are many more lines...

Hu Xianxu was particularly curious about how Shen Liang memorized his lines...

Shen Liang never brings a script when he comes to the crew.

At most, if there are some difficult lines, he would record them on his phone and read them silently a few times before filming...

"Brother Liang, how come you can memorize your lines so fast?"

Shen Liang explained: "I usually don't memorize lines. When I get the script, the first thing I do is not to memorize lines... but to read all the lines, including those of other people's plays that are not mine. Then I will analyze every character based on the lines... Then I will sort out the events and how these things are connected. Once the logical events are clear, the plot of the entire script will be imprinted in my mind, and then you will focus on memorizing the lines..."

Hu Xianxu was surprised: "Then you have memorized the entire script?"

Shen Liang suddenly realized: "…I said, such a good method, why not popularize it!"

Hu Xianxu did not continue the topic, but said: "...By the way, "The Wrath of Time" has already made 1.6 million yuan. Can it break 2 million yuan today?"

"It should be fine..."

“…I’ll go check it out!”

"Go ahead, call a few more people, and count it as helping me contribute to the box office!"

"Of course. I'll invite all the main creators of the crew to watch "Raging Fire"!" "Oh...thank you, Xiao Hu."

……

All the main creators... at least three hundred people.

Shen Liang didn't go, he still had to live broadcast...

Keep promoting the movie!
No, I have to take a few interviews today.

An interview with the Film Channel - China Film Report...

"Hello, Liang-ge!"

"Hello there!"

In the courtyard of the small house where Shen Liang lived...

"You're not staying in a hotel?"

Shen Liang explained: "I usually don't stay in hotels when I come to Hengdian. The accommodation conditions here are pretty good. It's quiet, not as chaotic as the film and television city. Filming is a very physically and mentally exhausting job, so of course I have to get enough rest."

"Then let's start?"

"Um…"

Shen Liang brought the microphone, and the photographer had already set up the camera. She didn't wear makeup or use any light shielding...

The interviews on the movie channel are all shot close to the face!
However, China Film Report basically praises celebrities whenever possible. If they cannot praise their works, they will praise their acting skills. If they cannot praise their acting skills, they will praise their progress. If they cannot even praise their progress... then they will praise their character - what charity work they have done recently.

I reported on "The Chase" all the way back then. Yes, that is Wu Yusen's "The Chase". Wow, I praised it so much that I blushed...

What is "sparking a wave of nostalgia among Chinese and Japanese movie fans" and "Wu Yusen's masterpiece!"

However, ever since the direct confrontation with Wu Jinyan, the movie channel has become more... awesome...

Publicly support the movie "I Am the Mountain", saying it is an "organized and premeditated smear"!
The accusatory remarks always make people speculate that the people are out to harm me...

People who are involved in art always think that the public is ignorant and arrogant, and they don’t even want to investigate…

To take a step back, even if the creators are naive and have no bad intentions, and the disagreement with the audience is only on the level of artistic creation, shouldn't they come out and accept the audience's opinions?
Forget it, I won’t write this anymore.

"Why did you take on the role in "Raging Fire"?"

"We were filming 'The Bad Kids' when director Benny Chan told me this story. It's a very bold police and gangster film, with a villain as the main character. I quite like this kind of fierce setting. Also... last time we filmed 'The Bad Kids', although there were fighting scenes, they were not exciting enough. This time director Benny Chan found Zhen Zidan for me... The fighting was really exciting!"

"What do you think of this play?"

"It's a very standard action movie. The action scenes are very intensive and the fighting is clean and neat, without any drag. This is the feeling you want in an action movie."

"Qiu Gangao... do you think he is a good guy or a bad guy?"

"He is definitely a bad guy. In fact, in the initial stage of the script, it was just Qiu Gangao and Zhang Chongbang who were in opposition... Qiu Gangao wanted to get promoted from the beginning... Later he came out to take revenge on society..."

"Why did Qiu Gangao and his gang get retaliated against after they went to prison?"

"A scene where Qiu Gangao's boss greeted him was deleted..."

Oh, about Qiu Gangao and his gang being sent to prison and not being treated well...

This is unscientific!

As a former policeman, Qiu Gangao did not receive sympathy and protection from his former colleagues, the prison guards. It was probably because his superiors had warned them, or even wanted to kill them, in order to shut them up.
