I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 590: The premiere of "Changjin Lake" (24)

To be honest, although Liang Ge doesn’t have ranking cancer, he still cares about his ranking!
However, he always believed that the ranking was proportional to the role played.

In fact, film and television works are a concentration of the team's artistic creativity.

Whether a work can be liked by the audience cannot depend solely on whether the protagonist is likable. It must have remarkable aspects in all aspects.

Some audiences like this role, some like that role. No matter whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, as long as the performance is good, the supporting role can also attract attention; if the performance is bad, the protagonist will also be criticized.

In "Crazy Stone", Huang Bo's role could only be considered a supporting actor, but he became an instant hit!
Specifically speaking of "Changjin Lake", the most touching characters are Lei Gong played by Hu Jun, and the other one should be Mei Sheng played by Jiang Qiming...

The "rankings" in the domestic entertainment industry are just fan circle terms. In the real entertainment industry, there are only male protagonists, male supporting roles, female protagonists, and female supporting roles. There is no such thing as ranking.

However, traffic stars really care about these things - apart from this, they don’t have anything else to show off!

Then it became a trend...

In fact, the dispute over ranking is a very normal thing.

After all, there is also controversy about the middle position in group photos of celebrities - the C position!

We all live under the spotlight for a long time, and more attention is very important for artists.

From this perspective, the ranking competition is the same. Everyone hopes that their idol will be a heavyweight in the drama...

However, in "Watergate Bridge", Shen Liang is the first!
……

"Director Yu, Director Huang, Director Chen, Director Xu... Director Lin, Brother Jing..."

After getting off the plane, he went straight to the hotel where the main creative staff were meeting. When they met, Shen Liang naturally said hello.

Wu Jing was surprised: "Wow, how come you lost so much weight?"

"I didn't lose a lot of weight... I lost about 15 pounds... because the new movie requires the character to be very thin..."

Yu Dongdao: "Still filming?"

"Well, I think we'll be able to wrap up by the end of next month..."

After chatting with a few directors for a while, he went back to Wu Jing, who whispered to Shen Liang: "…You cursed "1921" during the interview…Apologize to Director Huang later!"

Shen Liang was surprised: "…Ah? "1921" is Director Huang's work?"

"You do not know?"

"I really don't know..."

Shen Liang...of course he was pretending.

But it is understandable. After all, "The Founding of a Party" was filmed so well, but "1921" is so bad!
Shen Liang found an excuse and apologized quietly. Huang Jianxin waved his hand and said, "What do you think is wrong with 1921?"

"Not bad...You are able to mobilize so many stars, which is enough to show your skills!"

"Stop flattering me. I want to hear the truth!"

Shen Liang was a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said: "... compared with "Awakening Age", it may be because of the length... it's not enough."

Huang Jianxin sighed, "It was too hasty. I received this project in March last year. I was busy with the work of "Changjin Lake" at that time... I had no energy to worry about this... And it was scheduled to be released on July 3 this year..."

If you know you don’t have enough time, then don’t take it!

Not every director is qualified to shoot this kind of subject matter.

Just occupying the toilet without doing anything...

Of course, Shen Liang did not say this, but said: "For this kind of subject matter, except for Director Huang, no one else has this kind of appeal... I can't think of anyone more suitable to mobilize more than a hundred stars to perform for free!"

"Don't say that..."

Huang Jianxin waved his hand: "It's mainly because of the trust from above... How's the filming of your "Miracle" going?"

"Not bad..." "Why did I hear that you and the director often quarreled and almost went on strike?"

"Rumors... Absolutely rumors. I'm such a good kid..."

"You're good? If you were good, Director Xu wouldn't have changed the script!"

Shen Liang was helpless: "No... I just added a little change in the character's thinking. The Gutian Conference clearly proposed that in terms of party building, ideological construction should be placed first! Without the Gutian Conference, the Red Army would be no different from the old army and the bandits... In addition to being brave in combat, the volunteers also inherited the spirit of the Red Army in terms of ideology. Wu Wanli cannot only make physical progress, he must also make progress in his thinking!"

Huang Jianxin was happy: "Well said... I think you can continue to shoot related themes!"

"That won't work. With 'Changjin Lake', there is a benchmark. I don't think there is any other movie that can surpass 'Changjin Lake'..."

Yu Dong at the side said: "Then how much do you think the box office of "Changjin Lake" will be?"

"At least 50 billion!"

"50 billion?"

“…Is it missing?”

Yu Dong was happy: "They said that Liang Ge predicted the box office, plus 10 billion is the accurate box office, it seems that our "Changjin Lake" can make 60 billion!"

Well, Liang Ge’s guaranteed predictions have become famous in the circle!

……

A lot of people came to the premiere of "Changjin Lake"!

Song Chongshi, daughter of Song Shilun, then commander of the 9th Corps, also arrived at the scene that day.

In addition, there are several Olympic champions;
People from the film and television industry also came, Xu Zheng, Chen Baoguo, Ni Hong, Liu Lin...

The movie is similar to the original time and space, with some scenes of Mei Sheng teaching Wu Wanli in the middle...

The second half is still a bit sloppy...

But in the last part, the American salute was changed to burning with a flamethrower...

It was Shen Liang who suggested the revision. He went straight to several directors from the Bayi Film Studio and said, "I feel that our film lacks hatred. Without hatred, it is not called war!"

Anyway, this segment was filmed by the Bayi Film Studio...even if some directors have objections, they have no right to change it.

Now it’s time to thank you…

Yu Dong spoke first: "The story told by this movie, every person in the story, and the spirit and faith conveyed by this movie are the spiritual food most urgently needed in this era."

Huang Jianxin said, "I have never been so nervous in my life of making movies. There were more than 12000 people working on the subtitles, and there were 37 drafts of the script. Every director and every staff member devoted themselves to the creation..."

Then there are the poetry master, Tsui Hark and Dante Lam…

In short, it is not easy for us, please support us...

Finally, Wu Jing and Shen Liang spoke.

Wu Jing: "This is different from all the crews I've been in before. We all talk about our roles every day, on the set, in the hotel, and all day long. Sometimes I wonder, what inspires everyone's creative passion?
Everyone was not afraid of hard work or fatigue, just to create a good character. This kind of strong creative atmosphere, created by hundreds of people together, has not been felt for a long time.

Later, I talked about this topic with Shen Liang, and he told me that it was awe. It was awe that came from our blood. We were in awe of our ancestors in our bones, and we were afraid that if there was even the slightest mistake in our performance, we would be sorry for the efforts of these ancestors. I think that’s right!”

It was Shen Liang's turn: "I didn't want to take this role at first, because I watched the documentary "The Battle of Changjin Lake" several times, and I didn't want to participate in this kind of theme, worried that my performance would be unworthy of the efforts of my predecessors...

Well, to be honest, what I am most worried about is that the script and director are not competent, and they shoot this theme but don’t shoot it well, or they are not competent or have the wrong mentality, and then they carve themselves and the actors into a pillar of shame in the hearts of the audience! "

"We are in awe of history. For this kind of subject matter, we either don't shoot it, or we have to do our best..."

"Luckily, Director Yu and Director Huang did not give up on me. They approached me three times, and I made up my mind... Now, I can say: If I don't shoot "Changjin Lake", I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
