I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 531: Shushan

Chapter 531: Shushan (13)

Actually, the ratings of "Awakening Age" are not high...

Even at the beginning, the Douban score was only 8.3 points!
The first appearance of the young teacher was a two-minute "pantomime" (all the main characters did not say a word). Through his running, various metaphors and synecdoche images appeared one after another, depicting the contradictions, conflicts, and helplessness of old China in the great era...

After a tense background music sounded, it was revealed that due to a sudden heavy rain in Changsha City, all kinds of people were on the streets, some hiding from the rain, some on their way, and some begging for food.

Before the teacher appeared, there was a long shot of a farmer leading a cow:
Then, a group of soldiers on horseback with guns on their backs galloped down the street in a domineering manner, and passers-by were in a panic and dodged everywhere as if they were used to it:

Then, a young teacher came running out with a stack of Youth Magazine in his arms:
Next, we see contradictions and conflicts one after another through his eyes: in the last second, he sees poor children being sold as goods by human traffickers; in the next second, he sees a wealthy young man sitting in a luxury car wearing a suit and eating a sandwich, looking at the people outside the window with cold eyes;
This footage is absolutely amazing!

Even Lu Xun's appearance is awesome: the numb crowd, the ignorant masses, scramble to dip their steamed buns in the blood of the revolutionaries, a combination of scenes from the novels "Medicine" and "The True Story of Ah Q"...

It is difficult to write a historical drama like this. If it is not written well, it will easily be like the previous ones, where the whole historical plot is an assembly line.

Watching the whole thing is as boring as reading a history textbook.

It doesn't resonate.

"The Awakening Age" is different. It takes Chen Zhongfu as the core and tells the story from the initial difficulties in founding the New Youth magazine, to the opposition between the old and new cultures, to the bureaucratic suppression by Zhang Fengzai and others, and finally to the climax of the Paris Peace Conference.

Along the way, the process was almost like upgrading and fighting monsters.

Contradictions and obstacles arose one after another, and he resolved them one by one.

It feels quite refreshing!

Why not shoot afterwards?
Afterwards, we all know that the teacher resurrected this huge, broken machine from the flames of hell.

Before that, hundreds of millions of people died tragically in the flames and never saw the light.

Ultimately, civilization cannot defeat barbarism in a civilized way.

The law of blood and fire is destined to only accept blood and fire that are redder and more intense than his own.

It's very cruel, we know, and there are so many heads rolling. What's even more sad is that these rolling heads are partly due to the contribution of Principal Cai!
He is the founder of the Purge and the creator of the death list!
Ahem, Shen Liang said during the live broadcast: "I filmed "Awakening Age" for four months, and the whole series took eight months to shoot...

I'm fine, most of the audience don't know much about Chen Yannian, and the records are not very detailed, so there are a lot of places for me to play, but other actors are miserable, especially Zhang Tong who plays Li Shouchang..."

"You will know how the performance is after watching the drama..."

"It was easy for me to get into the role. The first scene was to carry a sandbag. I had to carry nearly 100 kilograms of sandbags on my back. If I didn't use my legs and waist, I would have been crushed! I filmed for three hours and got into the role right away..."

"Teachers Yu Hewei and Director Zhang Yongxin came to me. They talked to me about the script and I liked it, so I accepted it!"

"Pay... How much can I charge for this kind of drama... It must be lower than the market price... I have always felt that in addition to making money, actors must also have a sense of responsibility for the times and a sense of social responsibility..."

"Including "Peak Explosion" and "Changjin Lake", I sold them at prices lower than the market price..."

……

Recently, a movie called "Send You a Little Red Flower" became a hit, earning 7.61 million yuan in box office in the first weekend and New Year's Day...

The starring actors are Yi Yang Qianxi and Liu Haochun.

Originally this movie had nothing to do with Shen Liang...

But I don't know where the marketing account came from that said 'Shen Liang refused the offer, and then Yi Yang Qianxi took it'...

Maybe the original intention of this marketing account was that "Yi Yang Qianxi can only take projects that Shen Liang doesn't like", but it was "misinterpreted" by Yi Yang Qianxi's fans. A bunch of fans "thanked" Shen Liang for not acting, and even equated Shen Liang with Huang Xiaoming - the dramas he refused became popular!

This method is too low-level, just like the Wu Jing speech that was once very popular in Beijing at that time.

I want to label Shen Liang.

But every movie of Shen Liang is very popular.

Just touch porcelain...

However, Shen Liang did not respond to this matter. But Shen Liang's fans scolded him fiercely...

Liang Ge doesn’t run the fan club much, but his team still keeps in touch with fans…

Although he doesn't need to collect statistics, get on the charts, or have fans pick him up at the airport, or do any of those fan club stuff, he has too many fans. His Weibo followers exceed 4000 million, and most of them are active fans!
It’s easy to get chaotic when there are too many people, so planning is definitely needed!

Moreover, although I don’t want to admit it, Shen Liang’s tag still has traffic…

Traffic fans have many bad habits, and his fans also have them.

I have never lost when it comes to swearing!

After all, Shen Liang has been against many people along the way, and even sent some top stars to jail. When he was live streaming, he didn't show respect to some 208s, so his fans naturally got accustomed to his habits...

When it comes to scolding people, he really has no manners at all.

These do not affect Shen Liang...

He is still filming "Changjin Lake"...

……

“…I think this script is great!”

“…So what do you think the approximate cost is?”

“It depends on what effect you want.”

Shen Liang showed the script of "Shushan: The Origin" to Shi Nansheng, who was very satisfied and took on the position of producer.

effect?

Shen Liang pondered for a moment: "…It must amaze the audience!"

"…What does it mean to be amazing? Audiences nowadays have seen all kinds of movies!"

"I'm talking about the special effects. I've discussed this with the team. Whether it's Shushan or the Blood God Cult of the Blood God Son, the environment should be barbaric but also full of traces of civilization... It absolutely cannot make people see the opposition between good and evil at first glance..."

“…So how much did they offer?”

"It will cost at least 3 million yuan," Shen Liang explained, "After all, there are no ready-made templates for these special effects. We have to make the materials and templates ourselves, which takes a lot of time..."

When Shi Nansheng heard the three hundred million, he sighed and said, "It would take at least five hundred million to make it look good."

"It's pretty much what I thought..." Shen Liang nodded: "You can contact the actors now..."

"Did the master accept this play?"

"I didn't tell him... After all, he is busy with "Changjin Lake" now..."

Oh, Tsui Hark is really dedicated to filming. In fact, when filming "Changjin Lake", the director could not be on the set, but Tsui Hark refused to enter the studio, saying that he wanted to stay with the actors all the time. Even in windy and snowy weather, he still did not miss the scene and insisted on fighting side by side with the actors;
Moreover, Xu Ke would personally rehearse the scenes, lying on the snow and performing the actions himself.

When he was discussing and communicating with the actors, he would kneel on one knee or sit on the ground, showing great respect for the actors.

He even worried that the props would be too sharp and hurt the actors, so he tried shooting it himself. For example, there was a ruins scene full of sharp wires and building debris. Xu Ke was worried that the actors would be hurt by the wire mesh, so he tried shooting it himself...

You have to know that he is an old man over 70 years old!

I really admire him.

Shi Nansheng nodded and said, "Then when the filming of Changjin Lake is finished, we will hold a creative meeting and then discuss the selection of actors!"

"Um…"
