I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 589: It has become an art! (14)

The Life of the Disliked Matsuko...

It is a very good movie. In Matsuko's short yet long life, she experienced all kinds of separations and disappointments, committed suicide, and went to jail. She degenerated from an exquisite and sexy beauty into a fat and lame old woman. From being glamorous to being ignored, her last years were really bleak.

Wen Muye continued, "I saw an interview about a Sanhe master, who was from Sichuan or Hunan... I forgot, he was married, and the couple were busy working, so they naturally sent the baby back to their hometown. As a result, his mother went out to play cards or something, and didn't watch the baby fall into the river and drowned. His wife was angry and divorced him and ran away. He wanted to blame his mother, but he felt that his mother had a very hard and difficult life, so he had no choice but to run to the south. He was only 25 years old at that time...

I feel like this person has given up on himself. He wants to earn enough money to survive the cold, but also to leave his sad hometown..."

"If this story is supplemented with a few tragic experiences, it will be the Chinese version of Manchester by the Sea..."

Shen Liang was speechless: "You artists always like to look down on the world... Let me ask you, do you know how Shenzhen developed? Not only Shenzhen, but most of the first-tier cities in the country were built on the blood and tears of countless migrant workers and their disabled limbs... Do you dare to tell these stories?"

"Do you know where these Sanhe gods originally came from? Do you know how many of these people are disabled? Do you know which city came up with the slogans "Time is money" and "Efficiency is life"?

“If a cat or a dog is missing an ear, blinding an eye, breaking a paw, or having half its face burned, you will feel pity for them and overflow with love.

A group of disabled people, sick people, and people who have suffered, who have never received your help, and have never harmed this society, you give them the name of Sanhe God and you can make up stories about them? Don’t you think it’s inappropriate?”

Wen Muye was a little embarrassed: "...but I watched the stars experience on variety shows..."

"Don't mention this to me... A bunch of celebrities who earn millions a day experience life and tell you how difficult life is for ordinary people..." At this point, Shen Liang suddenly remembered something: "Hey, do you like watching variety shows?"

"Well... when I have nothing to do, I often watch variety shows..."

"So what do you think about us making a movie where celebrities experience the lives of ordinary people and then lament that it's really not easy for everyone?"

Wen Muye was stunned for a moment: "...I don't quite understand..."

"It's a reality show where celebrities experience the lives of ordinary people, and the slogan is: 'See the sky, see the earth, see all living things'..."

Wen Muye couldn't help but interject: "This slogan... is too big!"

"Big means big... publicity means bragging..."

"But I think we should be more down-to-earth when doing variety shows..."

Shen Liang stopped talking and looked at him. Wen Muye felt uneasy under his gaze. "Did I say something wrong?"

“…Brother, you don’t really think I want to do a variety show?”

“Isn’t it a celebrity experience of ordinary people’s lives?”

"I'm being sarcastic... We do satirical comedies, satirizing celebrities and variety shows!"

"Ah…Irony?"

"Of course it's ironic. A show that pays millions per episode and claims to be about experiencing the lives of ordinary people... If this isn't ironic, what is? If you really want to record ordinary people, then don't hire celebrities!"

"... "

"Are they princes, kings, or nobles? Are they experiencing life? Is the life of ordinary people just a training for them?"

After a pause, Shen Liang added: "Don't you think that the current entertainment industry is like a temple? A bunch of celebrities are gods. They do nothing but sit there and eat everyone's incense money and are worshipped by everyone. Some people are superstitious and throw money into them to make wishes..."

In fact, by shouting the slogan “See the sky, see the earth, see all living beings”, they have already regarded themselves as royal relatives or immortals - this has become an art!
Wen Muye was a little hesitant. It wasn't that he wasn't interested, but he just didn't dare to take a photo...

It's normal. Ning Hao made a movie called "Mr. Red Carpet". During the promotion, he claimed that it was a satire on the entertainment industry and indiscriminately attacked the 208s, but the feature film only scratched the surface.

"If you're not interested, I'll find someone else to do it..."

"Let me think about it..."

"Give me a quick reply. This subject can be made into a movie in a month at most, and it can be released in three months!"

Hearing this, Wen Muye was surprised: "So fast?"

Shen Liang was speechless: "The main plot is set, and the rest is to fill it with jokes... No special effects are needed, just find a few friends who have time to act... No more than half a year..."

"Do you have time?" "I can still find a month..."

"That's not possible for me. I definitely can't finish filming a movie in a month!"

“…Let’s work together next time!”

……

Wen Muye is the kind of director who must make complete preparations before starting filming!

He and Shen Liang naturally don't get along.

Liang Ge’s requirement: efficiency!

Under the premise of qualified quality, efficiency comes first.

He always holds a viewpoint: commercial films should not pursue excessive display of acting skills, as long as they can pass...

It’s not some art film!
By the way, many big stars are praised too much, and even they themselves don’t know their own weight. They think their acting skills are so good in art films, so wouldn’t it be a dimensionality reduction attack if they just starred in a commercial film?
Don’t you know that the success of a commercial film must comply with commercial laws? The so-called literary goddesses and gods cannot gain recognition from the audience just by relying on their acting skills.

Shen Liang called Liu Xunzimo directly...

Liu Xunzimo is an intruder, he doesn't care about rules or anything!

By the way, the name of this movie is "New Journey"...

……

“Isn’t it coming out the day after tomorrow?”

“…Do I have to go?”

"OK…"

Shen Liang hung up the phone and found the on-site producer: "I have to take two days off!"

“Is ‘Changjin Lake’ going to have its premiere?

"Well, I heard it was held at the Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center..."

"Then go ahead..."

"Changjin Lake" started to be screened in advance on the 26th, which can't be considered an advance screening, it's just a media screening - BJ, Changsha, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Dalian, WLMQ and other places held advance screenings simultaneously, and audiences in 33 cities watched the movie at the same time...

It’s not like “My Fathers and I”, where 20,000 shows were scheduled every day for five consecutive days…

By the way, the reputation of "Fathers" is not very good, and the box office of the preview is not good either - it can't beat "Peak Burst" which was released two weeks ago...

At this time, "Peak Explosion" was released for 18 days, with a cumulative box office of 29.8 billion...

The single-day box office fell to more than 6000 million...

But that’s still not something that “Fathers” can take advantage of!

Back to "Changjin Lake", Shen Liang did not show up at the previous press conferences because he was filming...

The premiere is on the 29th, and Shen Liang will definitely show up.

He is one of the main actors, and his ranking is just behind Wu Jing...

Oh, about the ranking of "Changjin Lake"... Shen Liang's fans think he should be ranked before Wu Jing - after all, Shen Liang is the number one in the domestic entertainment industry...

I was scolded by Shen Liang during the live broadcast - Don’t care about the ranking of this kind of movie!
Of course, two male protagonists must be guaranteed.
