I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 616: Slander (34)

After the reform and opening up, China's film art was completely monopolized by the academic school.

You could say that Chinese films at that time were famous all over the world, but the masses in China knew nothing about it.

The so-called prosperity of Chinese films has no mass base. The fifth and sixth generations...

It's all so!

But these people now have the final say.

Formed the so-called mainstream film circle.

Once a circle is formed, it has one common attribute: xenophobia!

It can also be seen at the actor level.

Normally speaking, the entertainment industry should be like a stream that never stagnates, a door hinge that never rots, with the old getting rid of the old and the new coming in, and a constant flow. Generations of young and beautiful people become the protagonists of the market, while middle-aged and elderly people retreat to the second line to use their rich experience to help the younger generations. This is also the normal demand of the market and the audience.

But...obviously not!
At this stage, in the Internet era, a large number of cultural and entertainment industries have seized the consumer groups that should have belonged only to the film and television industry, resulting in the shrinking prospects of the entire industry.

Those people in the industry have no idea what today's audience needs!
Using the best resources and the best actors to make a movie with backward aesthetics...

Not only that, they are also tied to traditional film companies!
Suppress newcomers.

Newcomers with great talents who want to enter the industry simply cannot find a way.

Generally speaking, the circle is not big, but there are many factions and clans, making it difficult for newcomers to stand out. The old people no longer have the ability to create but are still stubbornly holding on and refusing to move. The seniority-based system has reached the point where it is hindering the progress of the industry.

Therefore, Ning Hao and Chen Sicheng are rare...

Ning Hao's 72 Transformations film project really spends money to support new directors;
Although Chen Sicheng himself is controversial, he has supported a number of newcomers in the domestic suspense and mystery commercial films...

Shen Liang is similar, he is happy to work with new directors...

And new directors are also willing to look for him - once he takes a fancy to them, it means box office success!

In fact, it's the same in Hollywood. In Hollywood in the last century, people of Tom Cruise's age basically retired from the front line and played the father of the protagonist. As a result, now, he is still playing the protagonist... and he is determined not to give way to newcomers.

It’s similar to the domestic entertainment industry. Talented people would rather shoot web dramas than get involved in the film industry!

Oh, the reporter asked Shen Liang what secret he had in choosing scripts, and Liang Ge said seriously: "I just think that movies should not be too artistic, but interesting. We are now competing with short videos and live broadcasts for audiences... The key is that you have to pay to watch movies! If your script is boring... I think you should just not shoot it!"

“So, you have no interest in art films?”

"Of course I'm interested, but my interest is different from theirs... If you can come up with a script that is more thoughtful and artistic than A Sun, I will definitely act in it for free!"

Then...the reporter who asked the question shut up!

I almost forgot that Liang Ge has "A Sun"!
……

As of December 12th, "Fame and Fame" had been released for three days, and with the 10 million yuan from preview screenings, the cumulative box office reached 3 million yuan!
Successfully entered the top fifteen of the year...

The movie released in the same period... "Changjin Lake" was simply withdrawn from theaters, with a cumulative box office of 60.43 billion...

"The Antique Bureau Wars" was suppressed badly, with the single-day box office on Friday, December 12th less than 10 million!
It is estimated that the total box office will be difficult to break 3 million.

The movie's promoter was so upset that they directly criticized "Famous" on Weibo...

However, this time Liang Ge didn’t even reply to him!

There is no point...

Emperor Entertainment Group has had a really hard time in the past two years.

Without "Nobody" and "Raging Fire", they haven't had a hit for several years! In fact, the whole Hong Kong circle is similar...

In addition to Shen Liang’s movies - "Raging Fire" and "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils"...

But these two films did not use the investment of Hong Kong film companies...

Even the issuance is done by Silver City!

and then?
Many rumors about Shen Liang began to circulate online, and there were photos - taken secretly by paparazzi, Yang Mi visited the set, Na Zha visited the set, and stayed directly at Shen Liang's hotel...

Unfortunately, this kind of thing has no effect on Liang Ge...

He is a bachelor.

Yang Mi and Na Zha are also single!
Later, the chat records of the "crew members" were exposed, saying "Shen Liang and the actress played the role of a couple on the crew, everyone knows it!"

Well, all that’s missing from the house collapsing is a short essay written by someone claiming to be my girlfriend!
However, no such person could be found.

Brother Liang never dates amateurs!

Shen Liang responded...

What is there to respond to? He is not trying to create a single idol persona, nor is he looking for a sister-in-law. This is purely a sex relationship. How should I respond?

Besides, there are always a few scandals throughout the year!
However, this time is different from the previous ones, and the trend is getting worse...

Many netizens said, "Shen Liang finally fell from grace, he was playing both sides!"

By the way, there is also a rhythm of "Why hasn't "Famous" been released yet?"

……

“Sometimes I really wonder if these marketing accounts are brainless, they even smear me…”

"I never participate in the so-called capital bureau. In comparison, I prefer to stay in the crew and shoot one play after another... I've been so obedient, why are you throwing dirty water on me?"

After a day of roadshow, Shen Liang separated from the crew of "Famous", and he was going to Xiamen to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards...

Then Chen Jiadong told him about how he was slandered by others.

"Of course I know who it is, Emperor Entertainment Group..."

"Nonsense, "The Antique Bureau" was suppressed by "Famous" and it is almost impossible to recover its cost...slandering the movie and discrediting the leading actor at the same time, basic operation!"

"I said before that the Hong Kong industry is not good, but I didn't tell you why. Now let me tell you, their biggest problem is that they don't make progress, they believe in the old ways, and their own level is extremely limited. They don't understand the preferences of the current market... They can only churn out so-called Hong Kong-style commercial films over and over again!"

"Most directors are already in their sixties and have long been out of touch with the times... The key is that they still think they are so great..."

"Including that Guo Zijian, who is self-righteous and always has the illusion that Hong Kong directors are better than mainland directors! You can look up his comments on "The Wandering Earth", which says that 'whether in terms of filmmakers' vision or rhythm control, Hong Kong films are slightly better than mainland films. "The Battle of Tomorrow" should be released next year, you can compare it!"

"I was approached by the project of "The Antique Bureau Mid-Game", but I didn't take it. The novel "The Antique Bureau Mid-Game" is outstanding in its knowledge of antique appreciation, but this knowledge cannot be filmed... If you insist on filming it, it will inevitably become mediocre!"

"If this movie was made ten years ago, I would give it eight or even nine points, but this is a movie made in 2021..."

"You're two-timing, why don't you say I have a fish pond? If I really was two-timing, would you need to follow me? They would have fallen out a long time ago, and it's nothing more than using editing to cut different times together..."

"Let me emphasize again: we are just friends, and I don't have a girlfriend..."

At this time, a bunch of words floated in the barrage, "Do you think we believe it?"

Shen Liang couldn't help but laugh: "I don't care whether you believe it or not, I just think so..."
