I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 595 Another Leave (34)

"Into the Drama" is a celebrity interview program under Tencent Video...

At first, no one knew about it. Later, it was interviewed by Wu Jing of Wolf Warrior 2, who said, "I can't be raped by capital." Then it went viral and became a little famous...

Shen Liang took over their interview - after "Tomorrow's Son", the entire program group was centered around Mao Buyi...

Brother Liang is very stingy.

Since then, I have never accepted an interview with "Into the Play" again...

However, Yu Wanqing brought them into the lounge, and Shen Liang couldn't just turn around and leave. He said something very dissatisfied, and then said: "I'll give you ten minutes..."

Yu Wanqing felt quite aggrieved. The producer of "Into the Drama" had a normal relationship with her, but because it was a program under Tencent, they brought her in...

The other party said it would take at most twenty minutes!
But she didn't say anything and turned to leave the lounge.

Then the "Into the Drama" program wanted to apologize, but Shen Liang waved his hand: "Ten minutes!"

It’s time to apologize!
The format of "Into the Drama" is very simple, just like the "bilibili Star Interview" on B Station, it is all about watching questions and answering them...

The host does not appear on screen.

"'Changjin Lake' topped the mainland's box office charts, but neither you nor Wu Jing posted on Weibo to celebrate... Have you been in touch privately?"

"Yes, we have a group in Company 7, and we congratulated each other..."

"Then why not celebrate?"

"We are just one of the 1400 people who created this movie together with everyone. We are very lucky to be able to star in "Changjin Lake". This is also an unforgettable play. We know very well that this theme can also be a hit with other actors! Moreover, Chinese films are constantly improving. Maybe you think that the box office of "Changjin Lake" is very high today, but you will not think so in a few years... Just like when the box office exceeded million yuan, it was already amazing..."

"Many netizens said that "Changjin Lake" just had a few extra scenes you added, so the quality was acceptable. What do you think?"

"It's impossible for a 180-minute movie to have a high reputation just because I added a few scenes... Those who are talking are probably my fans. They underestimated film production and overestimated the role of actors. Film production is a collective creative process. It's impossible for a movie to gain high reputation just because someone added a scene!"

"Then why did you miss the promotion?"

"I have publicity. Isn't the daily live broadcast publicity?"

"With five hit movies in a row, can you tell me the secret to choosing a script?"

"It depends on whether the story and characters can move me..."

……

Shen Liang is quite disgusted with interviews.

It's not that I'm floating around or anything, the main reason is that the questions asked by most media outlets are basically the same.

Similar questions like "How do you feel when "Changjin Lake" sets a new box office record?", "What unforgettable experience did you have during the filming?" Oh, and "How would you rate your performance?"...

The problems he encountered during live broadcasts are simply not on the same level...

The brothers in the live studio were very sharp. They would ask, "What do you think of working with the poetry master?", "Did he scold you for changing the play?"... They would even ask, "How much money did you make this time?"

It's blunt, but at least it's sharp.

Having experienced a lot of high-end games, I have no interest in this kind of interview at all.

Many words have become muscle memory, and they come out easily. However, "Into the Play" asked a question: "You haven't had a rest in the past few years, aren't you tired?"

"Filming is not tiring, it is a kind of enjoyment for me..."

"But how do you perform the differences between the characters when you join the crew seamlessly?"

Shen Liang's eyes lit up. This is a good question. He answered, "It's quite difficult. In fact, sometimes I can also realize that I haven't fully immersed myself in the role. TV series are different from movies. The shooting period of TV series is longer and the amount of work is larger. Sometimes you feel that you have just found the right feeling for the role when the shooting is almost over, and then you have to wrap up..."

"What about you?"

"You still need a good script and a good team. A good script can inspire everyone's most sincere feelings. Just like when you hear good music, you instinctively want to dance along. You may not be able to dance normally, but when you listen to that music you will unconsciously start dancing. It's the same when filming a movie."

"So is there any difference between acting in movies and TV series for you?"

"I don't know how other actors do it, but when I'm acting, I have a rhythm control. TV dramas may be shot back and forth, with one shot lasting five minutes so you can act with full concentration. There are long dialogues and lines, and the scenes are cut slowly. The rhythm is slow, so the actors can slowly express the characters... Movies are different. There is not so much time for you to show yourself. You have to lead the character right from the start..."

The last question was about Storm Chasers…

“The idea of ​​“Storm Chasers” is quite good. The protagonist is a person who doesn’t care about the rise of big countries at the beginning, but only cares about the dignity of ordinary people. Later, he is pushed to a choice by the times: it is not ideals that drive them to make choices, but reality that forces them to choose! This drama is not “Awakening Age”... It explains that period of history from another perspective…”

……

Wei Ruolai in "The Wind Chaser" was a recent graduate of Lixin University of Accounting. He read "The Wealth of Nations" and was a knowledgeable and well-educated young man of that era.

He is a kind person who mingles well with the working people at the bottom of society. He is good friends with Awen, a rickshaw driver.

Although he was young, his peers in the neighborhood all called him Brother Wei, because the poor people at that time would naturally look up to scholars.

But he's not a nerd.

In troubled times, in order to make a living, he would also help his fellow Axe Gang check the accounts.

Seeing someone being killed in front of me, although I was scared, I was able to quickly adjust my mentality and regain my composure.

He was very smart and understood that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were incompatible. Even though his brother died in his arms, he was able to suppress his grief and secretly buried his brother in the rain at night.

Wei Ruolai's personality traits are consistent with the era and environment he lives in, and therefore, are more real and vivid.

At the beginning, although the play mentioned the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Wei Ruolai did not have a clear political inclination...

Wei Ruolai has the ambition to serve his motherland, and he has very simple feelings towards his motherland and his people.

He interviewed the central bank twice. In the first interview, he sincerely told Shen Tunan, "Our great China is poor and weak... If you come, I would like to use all my life's knowledge to serve the country";
In the second interview he fought for, his words were more sincere. He knew that the current world was a "turbulent time" where "big shots were drinking and laughing, sucking the blood of the common people to enrich themselves." He wanted to work with Shen Tunan to "change this greedy and evil financial circle"...

Well, Shen Nantu is his mentor and benefactor...

If it weren't for Shen Nantu's support, Wei Ruolai's background would have made it impossible for him to enter the Central Bank!

Oh, the first person who brought the red thought to Wei Ruolai was Shen Nantu’s sister, Shen Jinzhen played by Wang Churan.

In three days, Shen Jinzhen was filmed, and then Shen Liang took a leave of absence from the "Storm Chaser" crew...

Changchun Film Festival opens...
