I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 603 The idol is here again (13)

Ma Dong was originally labeled as Ma Ji’s son.

Later, I made "The Rap of China". When "The Rap of China" was first broadcast, iQiyi was just beginning to develop. At that time, "The Rap of China", as an iQiyi self-made variety show, brought a lot of new users to iQiyi. The effect was as strong as "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" to iQiyi VIP members.

iQiyi naturally also relies heavily on "U Can U Bibi"...

Thanks to "The Debaters", Ma Dong has gradually become well-known.

But... "The Debaters" is a debate show...

Debate shows rely heavily on debate circles!
But celebrities in this circle can really get into trouble.

Bullying Jiang Sida together became a hot topic;
Ma Weiwei’s divorce, love relationship and breakup were all public events;
Qiu Chen's ambiguous stance was once a hot topic;

Huang Zhizhong is the soul of Taiwan, not close to the mainland, and is often criticized for being a group...

Chen Ming won the championship but everyone just hugged Yan Rujing and was scolded to death

Mi Weiyi calculated that the dividends from the peripheral income of these people selling courses could not even keep up with the investment in cleaning up their butts...

Forget it, let’s change the track and try a music variety show!
After "The Rap of China", Ma Dong did "Summer of the Band"...

Well, before "Summer of the Band", Mi Wei had done "Goodbye Fat" and "The Temptation of Dinner"...

Unfortunately, "Goodbye Fat" and "The Temptation of Dinner" failed to make it out of the circle...

"Summer of the Band" was okay, just okay - in the same year, Shen Liang starred in "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves", which suppressed "Summer of the Band" and prevented it from making much of a splash.

"Summer of the Band" is still quite popular, at least there weren't any problems with the show!

Although these guys in the band are a bit pretentious and a bit prickly, they speak their mind and don't play tricks. No one looks down on anyone and there is no clique or faction. You gotta admit, they are much better than those guys in "The Debaters"!
But there are problems too. The biggest problem is that it is difficult to invite guests: it is difficult to develop a unique band style and charm without a ten-year cycle.

It’s held once a year, where do all the new bands come from?

The Comedian is different...

A bunch of actors from the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, Shanghai Theatre Academy, Communication University of China, and PLA Art Academy have rich experience in stage plays and dramas, but they are not famous. To the audience, they are basically amateurs.

With exquisite writing and professional performances...

And the label for original sketch comedy…

It went viral in just one episode!
"Idol Waiter" "Internet Physical Examination"...

In fact, the domestic original sketch comedy variety shows are benchmarked against the American variety show Saturday Night Live, which is the American version of SNL.

Whether it is the first similar program produced by Xiaoguo, the "Tonight's Paramount" which gained a certain degree of fame in 2016, or the "Chinese Version of Saturday Night Live" also produced by Xiaoguo in 2018, to the current "Annual Comedy Competition", they are all the same.

But at the same time, industry insiders also know that the Paramount and especially the domestic SNL were programs that cost a lot of money but did not have good results...

Ma Dong is still amazing, bringing together Miwei and Danliren...

Created such a hit!
Oh, if Shen Liang hadn’t taken “Changjin Lake”, he would have done “Comedian”…

The filming of "Changjin Lake" took about 200 days, and many of Shen Liang's plans were forced to be suspended...

There is always gain and loss!

Shen Liang decided to participate in the semi-finals of "Comedian" as a guest, together with Yang Mi and Liu Xunzimo, which can also be regarded as a promotion for "Famous".

……

As of December 12, the total market size of this year's film market exceeded 1 billion yuan, of which the five films starring Shen Liang earned 450 billion yuan, truly accounting for half of the domestic film market.

The first films of this year's Lunar New Year were originally "The Antique Bureau" and "The Lion Boy"...

"Fame and Fame", the cinema initially gave a box office forecast of 800 million.

After all, it’s starred by Shen Liang.

Then the theaters witnessed "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", "Life Events", and "Peak Explosion" being brought to success by Shen Liang...

Now, "To Be Famous" has become the top choice of major theaters - "The Antique Bureau" has announced that it will be moved up to December 12, and "Young Lion" will be released on December 1.

As for "Anti-Corruption Storm 5" and "Walk Through the Cold Winter", they were both moved to the New Year's Eve schedule, avoiding "Famous" on December 12th...

All scared!

After all, Shen Liang's appeal is too terrifying.

It's basically impossible to win in the same period as him.

However, the promotion of "Famous" insists on taking the word-of-mouth route - large-scale previews for three days, and then concentrated releases!
Before that, Shen Liang had to finish filming "The Wind Chaser"...

……

Yang Mi has aired two dramas this year, "Eye of the Storm" and "Lady of the Pearl"...

The reputation of the film was a flop and the ratings were dismal…

There are even very few complaints.

Well, there are still many things to complain about - almost every time Yang Mi appears on screen, she looks perfunctory, and her acting skills can be described as "terrible"; her expressions and lines are totally not on the same level, and she basically just speaks words.

"Eye of the Storm" set a record for Yang Mi's lowest data - 18 episodes were broadcast, but the number of views on the video platform was only 130 million.

The online broadcast data of "The Legend of the Pearl" is slightly better, but the word of mouth is not very good.

Almost defeated by Zhao Liying's "Who is the Murderer" in the same period...

"Who is the Murderer" is a typical drama with a bad ending. At the beginning, the score of Pi Roller Flower Milk Powder was 8.2, then it dropped to 7.1, and then it was simply 6.0...

There are too many bugs, the kind that cannot be fixed at all.

This wave of idols won by a narrow margin!

However, Zhao later starred in "The Unrequited Love" and "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" with Zheng Xiaolong...

Compare them with the idol’s upcoming dramas "The 80/20 Law of Love" and "Thank You, Doctor".

Not far!
So, she put everything on "Becoming Famous".

In "Assassination of Novelist", although she is also the heroine, she doesn't have many scenes in that drama...

On December 12, she arrived in Shanghai, attended an event, and then went directly to the set of "Storm Chasers" under the guise of visiting the set.

Just in time to catch Shen Liang’s highlight performance.

The plot is like this: at the critical moment of the voting meeting on the tariff custody rights proposal, Shen Tunan was assassinated as expected, and his life or death is uncertain.

The noise at the meeting place was almost out of control. At the critical moment, the young assistant Wei Ruolai volunteered and rushed to the front without hesitation.

In real life, such a plot doesn't seem to make sense. However, in the artistic presentation, the master and the apprentice, one in the light and the other in the dark, jointly presented a domineering, shocking, and perfect highlight moment.

"The barren land you see will grow into a fertile economic field that can support the world as long as time and patience are given. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, ride the wind and break the waves. I suggest that all foreign friends should take a longer-term view. Christmas has just passed. If you are willing to return the customs custody rights to China, then China will definitely give you a belated Christmas gift, a huge market full of gold!"

Shen Liang spoke it out word for word, with full emotion. Director Yao Xiaofeng applauded directly: "You said it very well..."

“…Is it over?”

"Um…"

Shen Liang nodded: "Then hurry up and shoot the next scene!"

"...You take a break first, we will set the scene..."

"Do you need help?"

The executive director waved his hand: "No need...someone came to visit the set..."

"Who?"

"Yang Mi... is chatting with our producer."
