I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 681 How can there be such a stupid star? (55)

Hollywood blockbusters…

It really doesn’t work!
Soft power is always supported by hard power. Once hard power declines, soft power will collapse very quickly.

Film and television works are ultimately a form of literary expression.

Behind all literary works is the spread of ideas. Very few works can transcend time, race and country. Just like no matter how many years have passed, no matter what country you are from, watching Chaplin's movies will still make you laugh and cry.

But there is only one Chaplin in Hollywood.

As a living embodiment of American values, Hollywood must change because America itself is also changing.

Most of the film and television workers currently active in Hollywood were born after the end of World War II, which means that they all live under a value system established by the United States.

However, this system is also collapsing as the U.S. economy declines. The United States is now caught up in so-called political correctness, which is actually a reflection of the confusion of values ​​under the country's weakening national strength.

In fact, whether it is Hollywood or Hong Kong films, it all comes down to their own problems.

Because their old movies are still great to watch now.

Even the best special effects are just like that...

The Marvel series is a typical example. When the movie universe was just beginning to be laid, the movies produced all pursued the goal of "although it is science fiction, it makes you feel it is real as much as possible." Today's special effects, such as those in "Quantum of Madness", give people the feeling of serious light pollution.

Watching Marvel movies now, especially the new ones, not to mention the political correctness and script flaws, the light pollution alone makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Besides, they no longer trust the second brother’s judgment!

In the past, the heroines of those European and American blockbusters were all beautiful with curvy figures and normal complexion.

Even if you don’t like the story, but your second brother says that the heroine is very good and the scenes and composition are very artistic, you will think it’s worth the price of the ticket!

Now...

European and American commercial films generally emphasize political struggle!
It's just okay to chase woodbirds, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, the woman is heroic and dressed up, they fly to the bedside and fight with spears, it's so exciting!

……

The next day, the filming of "New Journey" continued.

This time it was a variety show recording, and Liu Xunzimo also appeared on the show: "Everyone go and experience the work of ordinary people... Each person has only 50 yuan in funds! Challenge to survive in Shenzhen for 48 hours!"

"So, you want us to work?"

"Yes, the work has been arranged!"

Shen Liang took the card brought by the program crew with an indifferent look on his face.

I glanced at the card and read it: "Decorating the stage... Xiao Jiang and I will do it together!"

"Dismantle the stage, daily wages, 25 yuan per hour..."

"Only 25 for an hour?"

“It’s already very high…”

"Okay, okay, it's just dismantling the stage, no big deal. I often helped with props when I was on the set!"

Then, Shen Liang and Jiang Long went to the place where they were working together.

By the way, Zhang Chi went to sell houses, and Rouba went to work in a fast food restaurant.

During the follow-up filming, Shen Liang suddenly said in the car: "If I do the work of two people, will you pay me more?"

"…sure!"

And then...three hours later, I couldn’t hold on any longer!
Jiang Long also said: "I can't do it either."

Shen Liang found the contractor and said, "Brother, we can't do it anymore!"

"It's getting old... We're just getting started."

"I really can't do it anymore... Just pay us the bill and let us go... This job is really meaningless!"

"OK…"

Received 30 yuan - two people worked for 3 hours, each bought two box lunches and two bottles of drinks, and after deducting the cost, each person received 30!

Then the older brother (a real amateur) who was traveling with them said, "Ma Liang, are you two leaving now?"

"Brother, we really can't do it anymore..."

"Then you two go, I'll have to do three jobs by myself... I'll definitely have to stay up late tonight!"

"To be honest, Xingdi, we both feel that this job is meaningless... No, why do you have to finish it?" "Because I know the boss, he always asks me for work. If I can't finish it, he won't ask me next time!"

"…So what if I don't look for you anymore? Do you like this job?"

Shen Liang then expressed his own opinion: "I think even if I don't become a star and really go out to work, I will find a job that I like. Otherwise, life will be meaningless! Brother, what do you think?"

"I don't care whether I like it or not, I just live for the sake of living!"

Then, in the next shot, the two of them went to Shenzhen Bay to see the sea, talking about poetry and distant places...

Analyze yourself.

Then I took a taxi back to the dormitory - it cost more than a hundred yuan.

Go bankrupt directly!

The production team was a little hesitant, and Shen Liang said impatiently: "It's more than a hundred yuan, why are you so stingy? Not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow, when I get my phone, I'll return it to you!"

"But we are here to experience life... challenge ourselves to survive in Shenzhen for 48 hours!"

"Who am I? I'm Ma Liang, who is he? Jiang Feiyu, who doesn't know us? We can earn thousands of dollars a day just by performing on the street!"

"Click..." Liu Xunzimo shouted to stop.

Shen Liang saw that he was very confused and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

"Isn't that too arrogant?"

"No, these are the stars' real thoughts..."

Liu Xunzi couldn't believe it: "How can a star be so stupid? Even if it's what he really thinks, he can't just say it out loud. It's too annoying!"

Shen Liang was stunned for a moment, then asked back: "You don't usually watch variety shows, right?"

Liu Xunzimo was a little embarrassed: "...I also watched it...For this filming, I watched the Korean version of "New Journey to the West" again...and watched "Go Fighting"..."

"Brother, watch more domestic variety shows, such as "Why Are You So Pretty" and "Dear, Come to Eat", especially "Dear, Come to Eat", which will ensure that you have a deeper understanding of variety shows!"

"Which two variety shows?"

"'Dear, Come and Eat'...you should watch this one first!"

"Um…"

……

The filming ended at 3am...

Shen Liang did feel tired - he was exhausted from loading and unloading the stage just now!
I went back to the room, washed up, and fell asleep.

Sleep till dawn!

Hey, that’s not right. Where’s the meat?

I looked at the inside of the bed and saw that Rouba was sleeping soundly.

Shen Liang approached her and whispered, "...I'm going downstairs to eat..."

"Eat?" Rouba woke up immediately: "Wait for me, I'll go too!"

"No, sister, this is our life, there is no need to create a persona."

Rouba lifted the quilt: "Who is pretending to be a character? I'm hungry too!"

"…OK."

Shen Liang got up, brushed his teeth, rinsed himself, and waited in the living room for about fifteen minutes. Then he saw Rouba, wearing big sunglasses, walking out of the bedroom...

"You...you don't wear makeup?"

"So, I'm wearing sunglasses!" Rouba pointed at the sunglasses on his face: "I'm having breakfast, why would I put on makeup..."

"…OK."

Open the door, the photography team is here...

Shen Liang was puzzled: "No, shoot now?"

"Taking a picture of you guys eating breakfast together... to create a scandal!"

"Then you guys go wait downstairs..."

I almost forgot that "New Journey" also has the indispensable CP hype segment!
