I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 662: "Go Where the Wind is" (13)

Rouba is very similar to Shen Liang in one respect, that is, after filming, he seldom goes out to play with others!
When actors are filming, they usually stay on the set for two or three months.

Some of them really like to make friends, eat together, sing karaoke, or play games together after the show...

Shen Liang rarely does this.

With this time, he would rather go back to his room to live stream or read a book...

On the one hand, he really didn't like useless socializing;
On the other hand, he is a superstar, his status is different!
There is no need to pretend to be nice...

Others will also have psychological burdens!
Meatball, almost the same...

When I was on the set, apart from filming, I rarely interacted with others...

However, unlike Shen Liang who enjoys being alone, Rouba does not want to communicate with others!

I am scared of traffic, I care about other people's opinions, and I am afraid of causing trouble to others because of myself. These altruistic attributes are caused by long-term self-denial...

But she knew she was successful!
So, I am both humble and arrogant...

Ahem...

However, since the filming was wrapped today, she still went to dinner with several actors from the crew.

After dinner, she went back to her room.

Find Shen Liang as soon as possible.

"They all like you very much, why don't you go to eat?"

"I want to go live, 'Storm Chasers' will be on tomorrow!"

“…Is work that important?”

Shen Liang smiled; "I'm not familiar with them, and when I'm with them, I have to remind myself not to be rude and to be approachable... It's too tiring!"

Rouba asked curiously, "Then you don't care what they think of you?"

"I don't live by other people's faces..."

“You do have a lot of haters!”

"As many as you?"

Liang Ge's words silenced her...

Compared with Shen Liang, Rouba really has black fans all over the Internet!
“A person’s true freedom is having the courage to be hated.”

"What?" Rouba was speechless: "...Can you please not talk about these great principles while taking off your clothes?"

"Life is not about proving yourself, but about living a wonderful life. Don't let other people's judgments constrain your thinking. All our inferiority and sensitivity are in the expectation of being recognized by others. What if others recognize you? You are just a typical person who wins the world but loses yourself."

"I want to deepen your memory..."

As he spoke, Liang Ge picked her up and skillfully used the equipment separation skill...

"…Wait a moment…"

"We'll talk about it later!"

……

The next day at noon, Chen Jiadong also flew from BJ to Shanghai...

It can be seen that Brother Liang attaches great importance to this conversation!
Well, Chen Jiadong came to participate in an event - a national cinema conference held by United Cinemas...

As the head of Shen Liang's studio, he must come and participate.

By the way, Shen Liang pulled me over...

"Kanxinqing Studio..."

"Yes, we are the producers of "The Next Stop Is Happiness" and "In the Name of Family"!"

"They seem to be cooperating with Mango TV?"

"Well... they basically make original modern dramas!" Shen Liang then added: "Affected by multiple factors such as cost reduction and efficiency improvement, the platforms are basically taking the route of self-produced dramas. Mango TV is not as wealthy as Teng Aiyou, so they will actively cooperate with young teams, such as Kan Xinqing Studio and Wang Juan!"

Chen Jiadong nodded: "Yes, there are quite a lot of original projects in the past two years. Because the conversion rate of IP is low, it takes a very long process for an IP to be truly transformed into a good script and filmed. Generally, IP novels are often 2-3 years earlier than scripts. The producers cannot start filming immediately after buying the IP, so the IP will be piled up. Maybe only one or two out of 10 IPs can be seen by everyone in the end.

In addition, IP procurement costs have increased year by year, and platforms have begun to advocate "reducing costs and increasing efficiency" in recent years. Original dramas have naturally become the focus of major platforms. "

"Okay, the script is good, I'll take it!"

"Okay..." Chen Jiadong immediately asked, "What do you need me to do? Do you want to fight for the pay?"

"…What's my current market price?" "It's the same, 8000 million!"

"so tall?"

Chen Jiadong waved his hand: "…For movies, the basic salary is 500 million plus a tiered profit share, and for TV series, the salary is 3000 million plus a 20% profit dividend!"

"Well... generally A-level projects don't come to me..."

"There are no A-level projects nowadays. They are either S-level or B-level..."

“Is the polarization so extreme?”

"It's about reducing costs and increasing efficiency. In the past, a big star was offered 8000 million for a drama. Now, two-thirds of that is cut directly... 3000 million is the best!"

"I see…"

Chen Jiadong remembered something: "Director Shao Yihui has obtained the adaptation rights of "What is Love" and is preparing to invite you to star in it!"

"…What is Love? A Japanese movie?"

"Yes, it tells the story of a love-brained person..."

Shen Liang was surprised: "I'm not going to play the role of a love-brained person, am I?"

"No...her script is still in the editing stage..."

Shen Liang was curious: "How did you know?"

“I get along well with her…”

Shen Liang immediately asked: "Are you pursuing her?"

“No,” Chen Jiadong shook his head: “I’ve bought her e-cigarettes before…”

“She… sells e-cigarettes?”

"Hmm..." After a pause, Chen Jiadong continued, "I have contact with many young directors. The current environment is not good, and many of them have started side jobs. Some sell courses, some teach people how to draw films, and some teach people how to shoot films..."

"sideline?"

"The high-end ones are running overseas confinement centers, overseas property purchases, study abroad agencies, and even overseas surrogacy agencies; the mid-end ones are overseas purchasing agents, producing and selling Malaysian bird's nests and Musang King durian; the low-end ones are selling insurance, opening Taobao stores, and helping people tell fortunes..."

“Isn’t this illegal?”

"It's better than being a pimp..."

“And pimps?”

"He's an insider in the industry, and knows a lot of underachieving young actors..." Chen Jiadong reacted: "What's wrong? You want to meet him?"

"I'm just curious for a moment... ahem... you ask Director Shao Yihui to write it carefully..."

"Um…"

The two arrived at the place while chatting.

A very upscale private restaurant...

……

Pushing open the seemingly inconspicuous glass door, you will find a different world inside. Walking through the long corridors, your fingers can touch the texture of the stone wall, bronze vessels through the glass, exquisite wood carvings and stone carvings, paintings of different styles, and works of brick, stone, wood and green plants.

It makes people feel like they are in a "museum"!

A very stylish private restaurant.

I opened the door and saw four or five people sitting inside...

Huace’s boss, Zhao Yifang, is here too!
Shen Liang immediately greeted: "Mr. Zhao!"

"Xiao Shen is here... Let me introduce you to our producer Long Ya, director Ding Ziguang, and our screenwriter Wang Yi..."

"…Hello…"

Shen Liang greeted everyone one by one and then sat down.

Usually with Chen Jiadong, who is responsible for socializing: "Brother Liang told me that he has always wanted to shoot a modern drama, but...there has never been a suitable script!"

"Yes... I've been acting in costume dramas for the past few years!"

"…This is Wang Yi's latest script, called "Go Where the Wind Is", take a look first…"
