I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 512 It's good if you don't say anything! (33)

"Fame"...

The most obvious allusion is of course Zheng Qianli, he just short of saying "I am Wang Jing!"

"I made a bad movie, so what? I made investors make money! I filled the theaters! In the most difficult times, I made sure everyone could work and have food to eat! I made a bad movie, so what? I'm proud of making bad movies!"

This corresponds to what Zheng Zeshi said in "Tucao Conference": "During the lowest years of Hong Kong film, it was director Wang Jing's persistence that allowed us to have a bite to eat!"

Oh, this role was still played by Yu Entai...

Let’s talk about idols.

Yang Mi...is still a little concerned about "The Sound of Wind"!

Although she tries hard to isolate herself from the emotions - the overwhelming comments still take their toll.

Her so-called inner strength is actually numbness and escape...

But this is a speculative but lazy approach, which will gradually lead to the loss of the sensitive part of one's character over time, which is a big taboo for an actor.

Lost the sensitivity to life!

In fact, Liu Yifei is the same, but she reads a lot of chicken soup articles...

As an actor, he lacks sensitivity and always refuses to feel pain.

It's easy to get stuck when you put on layer upon layer of shells.

In the field of acting, there are also those acting geniuses and acting demons who rely on their ancestors to make a living.

People are born with a bright and clear mind.

Look at the flowers and grass, listen to the wind and rain, catch a glimpse of the people moving bricks, selling socks, and frying snails... you can feel something.

This type of actors also have their pains and tribulations.

One has to wait patiently for a certain year, month and day, with the right time, place and people, until Li Sanlang picks up a pear branch and with a flick of his finger he points the vase to Maggie Cheung to be the elf. From then on, her Ren and Du meridians are unblocked and she can act however she wants.

To be honest, in comparison, Liu Yifei still has a chance to pick up the pear blossom branch, but for idols... it's very difficult!

Yang Mi is more like a cold business machine...

However, the role of Mengdie in "Famous" was tailor-made for me. If I can't perform well in this role, then... I can really quit acting!

……

We haven't seen each other for a long time. The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves and the rain pound the banana leaves...

Originally, Shen Liang thought that his idol was in a bad mood and that it would be fine if he did it once in a while, but he didn't expect that his idol would be in high spirits. It was probably like a long-awaited rain after a long drought.

I stroke the eagle with my hand and sigh...

It ended with him speaking eloquently.

The next day I had to meet with the crew, but I didn’t continue…

Everybody has a job!
The crew of "Famous" paid Yang Mi 300 million yuan...

It doesn’t look like a high salary, but the crew only needs her 15 days!
It's quite in line with her worth.

The cheapest person in the whole play is not Shen Liang - Shen Liang's salary is 500 million + 15% of the mainland profit share.

Oh, the total cost of "Famous" is 4500 million, Tencent invested half, China Film invested 20%, and Shen Liang Studio invested 30%...

Speaking of film pay, the one with the cheapest pay is actually Yang Chaoyue - 50,000 yuan!

The movie starring Shen Liang is destined to be a hit.

As I said, under the general environment, it is difficult for actors. There are not many film projects starting shooting, and it is even more difficult for actresses!

The role of Nightingale: about 20 years old, sweet-looking...

A lot of idols who debuted in girl groups can play this role...

Including many newcomers that companies are promoting...

The main reason why Yang Chaoyue was able to get the role was because of Long Danny's recommendation and Shen Liang's nod.

A salary of 50,000 is already very good!

To be honest, her acting is terrible - on par with Yang Tianbao.

Fortunately... The Nightingale in "Famous" doesn't have many scenes, just living in memories, and doesn't need to speak...

……

"Brother!"

When he saw Liu Xunzimo, Shen Liang gave him a warm hug and introduced them: "This is Yang Mi, Yang Chaoyue and Xiao Hu!" "Hello, Director!"

The three of them greeted each other politely...

“…Hello!”

Liu Xunzimo nodded immediately, and then asked Shen Liang: "What do you mean by rehearsal?"

"Here's what I think. Our indoor play is very similar to a stage play. Should we rehearse it a few times first, so that the actors can get familiar with the lines and positions through the stage play, and then we can directly shoot..."

"Is there enough time?"

“…This is how “Manchester by the Sea” was done. I heard that the stage rehearsal + formal shooting took only 18 days in total!”

"really?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

"Okay, when Yang Haoyu, Yu Entai, and Chen Minghao come, I'll discuss it with them..."

“I’ve already said it in the group…”

Shen Liang took out his phone and opened the WeChat group: "The teachers all agreed!"

Liu Xunzi was quite shocked: "You all agreed? Hey, where did you get Teacher Yu Entai's WeChat?"

"The one Uncle Gong gave me... was Teacher Yang Haoyu... I filmed The Wandering Earth with him and learned a lot from him."

"…What about Chen Minghao?"

"It was Uncle Gong who brought him in..."

In fact, Chen Minghao was also from Class 96 of the Central Academy of Drama, and was classmates with Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye, Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu, and Qin Hao!
That’s why his bickering with Qin Hao in “The Long Season” was so natural.

However, after graduation, Chen Minghao joined the Youth Art Theater to perform in dramas!
By the way, the Youth Art Theater and the Central Experimental Theater merged on December 2001, 12 to form the China National Theatre!

Because he has been performing in dramas for many years, Chen Minghao is very exaggerated when dealing with roles...

Therefore, many people commented on his role as Fatty Wang: like a wild beast!
It was not until "The Long Season" that Chen Minghao evolved directly, perhaps due to the stimulation from Fan Wei. His acting skills became simpler and he was able to control them freely.

Lu Ziye in "To Be Famous" is a very exaggerated character, so it is perfect for him to play the role!

……

There was supposed to be a welcoming party, but this is not the epidemic period, so it’s best not to have too many people gather…

So, we got together, chatted briefly, and then left.

Formal rehearsal in the evening.

The producer quickly negotiated a deal for a theater as a rehearsal venue...

Shen Liang went directly to the theater to familiarize himself with the venue...

Yang Chaoyue... was quite embarrassed. Although everyone greeted her, she felt quite redundant!

For one thing, she was not present at the rehearsal of the stage play.

On the other hand, she has a little low self-esteem!
The crew of "Famous" is basically composed of talented actors, and at the very least they are veteran actors who have been through many battles.

Yang Chaoyue, although not a complete newcomer, at least she has never acted in a movie.

How to do it?
In the entire crew...the only one she was familiar with was Shen Liang!
I simply found him and expressed my concerns: "Brother Liang, I'm not very good at acting..."

Here comes another one…

Why do you idols think Shen Liang is a good person to ask for advice?

Aren't you really afraid of him spreading the word?
Shen Liang was speechless, but he still patiently comforted her: "...Don't worry, first of all, the director chose you, which means you have a good appearance. You won't deny this, right?"

"…Um."

"Then, you should have read the script. The character of Nightingale is just a very simple little girl..."

"But after reading the script, I felt that Nightingale was not a simple person..."

"…Is she simple? Is there any hidden plot that you don't need to show?…Besides, you don't even have a single line, don't think too much!"

As they were talking, Yang Mi came over, saw Yang Chaoyue, and asked casually, "Are you discussing the script?"

Yang Chaoyue hurriedly greeted: "Sister Mi..."

"Teach her... I'm going out to get some fresh air!"
