I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 523 Golden Rooster Awards (44)

This year's Golden Rooster Awards, Shen Liang was nominated for Best Actor for the movie "A Bouquet of Love"...

"A Bouquet of Love" received nine nominations: Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Recording, Best Music, Best Editing...

Surpassing the eight nominations of "Leaving the World Behind" and "The Accidental Murderer"...

In addition, "Raging Fire" was also nominated for Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Editing.

To be honest, I wasn't even sure of winning the prize!

Including Shen Liang's Best Actor...

Our brother Liang’s qualifications are still too inexperienced!
Look at the nominees: Dong Chengpeng's "The Beneficiary", Xiao Yang's "Manslaughter", Wu Yuhan's "Half a Comedy", Shen Liang's "Love Like a Bouquet", Huang Xiaoming's "The Bravest"...

Shen Liang has the least experience...

Most importantly, he is not from one of the three major colleges...

There is a very old and ridiculous habit in the intellectual and cultural circles, which is to build barriers to discourse power.

This kind of operation has been going on for a long time!

But Shen Liang still has to go...

Although he is not from one of the three major universities, he is a student of the Beijing Film Studio.

It’s not without background!
Most importantly, I have been in this crappy place for half a month and have been too idle...

——The crew moved to Dandong.

The village encounter, in which the soldiers desperately blew up the US military signal tower, were all scenes built by the crew in Dandong.

Training together every day, among a group of men, Shen Liang vaguely felt that the makeup artists (female) all looked pretty...

This won’t do. Being idle... can easily lead to accidents!
……

The EP "Echoes of Dusk" has been on the market for fifteen days and its sales have exceeded 5500 million, with sales reaching 2.75 million!
Even though Xiaozhan’s fans have reached 1200 million, it still hasn’t surpassed “Echoes of Twilight”…

Shen Liang's appeal still crushes him!
Actually, at the beginning, Shen Liang didn’t plan to charge for this EP…

But… platforms including Wajijiwa need to cheer up…

——Make a sprint for KPI at the end of the year!
Oh, after this year, Shen Liang’s contract with Wajijiwa will expire and the two parties will not renew the contract.

Of course, Shen Liang Studio still owns 10% of Wajijiwa’s shares!
In addition, "Echoes of Dusk" set a record - only five copies were sold.

It is very different from the sales of most digital albums, singles and EPs in the domestic entertainment industry!
Here’s some data: In 2020, a total of 198 digital albums and singles were sold in China, of which 40% of the sales were accounted for by the top five!
Yes, 40%!

It can be said that although the digital album market is booming at this time, it is essentially just a carnival of top singers and traffic.

For albums without physical copies, boosting sales has become something that can be accomplished with just "cash power".

In order to help their idols achieve better sales results and thereby gain more resources, it is common for fans to crowdfund to purchase large quantities of the same album to manipulate the charts.

But let me tell you one thing, whether it is for fans or idols themselves, in front of bigger capitals such as companies and platforms, they are just tools to make money - songwriters take 16%, and artists take 15%~30%...

The big money makers are still the platforms and record companies!

Then, all major platforms issued purchase restrictions - one account can only buy ten tickets within a month!

I guess it will be hard to break the record of "Echoes of Dusk"!
However, fans of Xiaozhan said that 'the overseas sales of "Light Spot" far surpassed "Echoes of Dusk" - "Light Spot" ranked seventh on the iTunes US chart, first in many countries and regions, second on the iTunes global chart, and seventh on the IFPI Global Singles Chart!
Twilight Echoes is a little bit...

Tunes US ranking is 45th, and iTunes global ranking is only third...

As for IFPI, "Echoes of Dusk" belongs to the EP, not the singles track!

In this regard, Shen Liang’s fans…didn’t have time to respond, and several big fans of Xiao’s station came to apologize…

After all, "Echoes of Dusk" and "Light" have already ranked among the top five background music on Douyin and TIK TOK...

The most important thing is that Shen Liang’s popularity and resources far surpass Xiao’s!
When Shen Liang was live streaming, he didn’t mention Xiao Zhan…

In fact, Xiaozhan is not going to enter the music industry, nor is he going to be a singer. "Light Spot" is just an opportunity to show the wavering major investors and brands that Xiaozhan still has commercial value...

This incident only shows that Xiao’s fans have accepted and maintained the unspoken rules of the star-chasing model in the entertainment industry: hit the charts, hoard magazines, control Weibo comments, and snap up all the endorsed products. They try to use this kind of behavior that others consciously cultivate to express their love and support for the idol, to show goodwill to the capital, and let the capital favor the idol and provide resources. There is nothing much to say.

……

After arriving in Xiamen, Shen Liang first met up with the crew of "A Bouquet of Love", chatted with them briefly, and then took Li Yitong away first.

Checked to see if the artistic level has declined...

It was a bit rude. Although Li Yitong was very satisfied, she still said: "…Why are you so anxious today?"

“…No, it’s pretty much the same as before!”

"...Look..." Li Yitong pointed to her knees...

It’s all red and swollen!
"Next time, I will pay attention."

Li Yitong remembered something: "Hey, when you were filming "Changjin Lake", there really wasn't a single woman?"

"Not really...the makeup artist is a woman!"

“…I meant the actress!”

"Where can we find female characters in war films..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet for being nominated for Best Actress!"

"Thanks to you..." Li Yitong smiled and asked, "Has 'My Girlfriend of Ten Years Is Getting Married Tomorrow' approached you?"

"What the hell?"

“It’s a movie adapted from a long Douban post, and Chen Guofu is the producer!”

"…You want to act?"

Li Yitong nodded; "They found me, I think it's not bad."

Shen Liang was a little surprised: "Chen Guofu actually came to you?"

In the original time and space, "My Girlfriend of Ten Years Is Getting Married Tomorrow" - later renamed "I Want Us to Be Together" the heroine is Zhang Jingyi, a contracted artist of Dongshen Future, a person of Chen Kun and Zhou Xun. They have a good relationship with Chen Guofu, and co-founded Shanxia Academy, and signed Zhang Jingyi and Zhou You...

So, Shen Liang was very surprised that Li Yitong actually snatched the heroine away from them?

“…Maybe they saw my box office appeal!”

"…All right!"

This is a fact, "Love Like a Bouquet" 18 billion, "I'll Wait for You at the End of Time" 8.8...

Li Yitong is already the first choice in the romance film category!

"Didn't I look for you?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "How can I have the time? The filming of "Changjin Lake" will not start until April next year!"

“…but they told me that you are the first choice for the male lead.”

"If I don't say that, would you agree to act in it?" Shen Liang smiled and said, "You are the best at this kind of realistic love film. There is no harm in taking the role!"

"...Okay," Li Yitong curled her lips and remembered something: "By the way, can you win the award this time?"

"Best Actor?"

"Yes!"

"The probability is not high. I heard from the judges that it might be awarded to Huang Xiaoming..."

“…I think he’s not as good at acting as you!”

"Thanks…"

Li Yitong came over: "Just a thank you?"
