I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 688: Life (13)

In the entertainment industry, first-line stars connect with first-class resources...

Very normal thing!

Shen Liang is indeed the number one figure in the domestic entertainment industry now!
We have box office success and audience ratings...

If you have a good project, you must look for him first!
As long as he announces joining a project, it basically means that the project will definitely make money...

In terms of movies, his basic box office is as high as 20 billion;
TV series...As long as he is in the cast, TV stations and video platforms will compete to make offers.

Moreover, period dramas are indeed a good opportunity to expand roles and images.

Period dramas are serious dramas.

In fact, since 2018, period dramas have once again begun to become a strategic layout for leading film and television companies. That year, many dramas with ratings exceeding 1, such as "Like a Flowing River", "A Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate" and "Mother's Way", were all period dramas.

Afterwards, "Sesame Hutong" and "Old Chinese Medicine" led the drama market as period dramas.

By the way, the idol also tried to transform himself with the period drama, “The Master”, also known as “Dream of Splendor”, but it failed!

In fact, period dramas have always been the preferred "cut-off point" for movie actors to return and young actors to transform. Movie stars such as Zhou Xun and Chen Kun chose "Red Sorghum" and "Escape" to return. After all, compared to the "idol" temperament of ancient costumes and urban dramas, the special era background and extremely strong emotional entanglements of period dramas can better become a stage for actors to demonstrate their acting skills.

The hits of "Children of the Qiao Family" and "Setting Sail: When the Wind Rises" immediately set off a wave of young actors working on period dramas...

"Love in Jiudaowan", "Hutong", "Boiling Age" and of course "The Sea in My Dream" have all been approved...

Shen Liang has never starred in a period drama.

So, the company's screenwriters wanted to give him another film.

Among the three projects, the one I am most optimistic about is definitely "Life".

After all, it is Lu Yao’s original work!

Of course, these require Shen Liang's opinion.

Over there, Yang Mi finished a game and remembered something: "Mr. Chen, will "Assassination of Novelist" be released on August 8th?"

"Well, it's been decided..."

“How many key films are there in this summer season?”

"Currently, there are only "Mozart from Outer Space", "The Lone Moon", "Jurassic World 3", and yes, there are also Hong Kong movies "The Tomorrow War" and "The Detective"..."

"Is 'New Journey' also a summer movie?"

Chen Jiadong nodded: "New Journey will be released on June 6th..."

Yang Mi asked again: "What is your box office expectation for "The Novelist"?"

“About 15 billion…”

"What about the New Journey?"

"…'New Journey' is a brand new theme, with an anti-celebrity core, and actually talks about the gap between the rich and the poor… We don't know whether such a movie can be recognized by the market," Chen Jiadong added: "However, because Liang Ge is the lead actor, the theater chain gave a total box office forecast of about 10 billion..."

"Only 1 billion?"

"What billion?"

Shen Liang walked in and just heard the word one billion, so he asked.

"We were talking about the box office expectations for New Journey...Have you finished filming?"

"Yeah." Shen Liang nodded and said, "I haven't seen the finished film of "New Journey" yet... So, I can't give an accurate prediction of the box office!"

Yang Mi was a little confused: "Why are you in such a hurry to release it?"

"It's not that I'm anxious..."

Chen Jiadong: "It's because the cinema chain needs high-quality content..."

"Okay, you two wait a moment, I'm going to take a photo with the workers, we'll talk after I'm done!"

...fixed process: autographs, group photos and flowers...

After it was over, Shen Liang left.

His departure means that the filming of "New Journey" has been completed and entered the post-production stage.

The post-production of a film, including editing, special effects processing, sound design and other aspects, may take several months or even longer to complete.

However, "New Journey" has very few special effects, so if you work hard, it will take about a month.

Therefore, it will be released on June 6th, there is enough time!

After the completion of "New Journey to the West", Liu Xunzimo probably needs to take a break for a while.

You can't just catch a sheep and pull it hard. What if you pull it bald?
By the way, Rouba has finished filming, and she left the crew this morning!
……

At the restaurant, Chen Jiadong talked about "The Novelist":
"Lu Yang originally wanted to release the film in July, but the distribution company wanted to avoid Mozart from Outer Space..."

"Mozart from Outer Space, Chen Sicheng + Huang Bo?"

"Well... "Alone on the Moon" was originally considered to be released in July, and it was also considered that "Mozart from Outer Space"..."

Yang Mi sighed: "Chen with crooked mouth is quite powerful!"

"The cinema chain gave a box office forecast of at least 20 billion yuan."

"…What are you looking at?"

"Life," Shen Liang put down the script in his hand, and then said, "There are too many cunning people in this industry. They haven't even gotten to the point of playing science fiction, but they've gone off the track and started mixing things up. Science fiction + comedy... science fiction + children's film... It makes no sense!"

"What script do you read?"

"Didn't I tell you... Life, Lu Yao's Life!"

“…I only know The Ordinary World by Lu Yao.”

"Life... is the first novel by Lu Yao that I read. The protagonist is Gao Jialin..."

"Life", Gao Jialin's life.

It must be said that when Lu Yao wrote "Life", he did not have the idea of ​​"completing a great work", he just wanted to write purely, so "Life" is more objective and does not contain Lu Yao's personal emotions.

Therefore, the character of Gao Jialin does not have Lu Yao's idealistic beautification, but rather his meticulous observation.

This observation vividly shows the fate of Gao Jialin as an educated youth under the special situation of clear and unbreakable urban-rural dualism.

Unlike Sun Shaoping in "Ordinary World", he is not typical enough and is too high!

Sun Shaoping's ex-girlfriend Tian Xiaoxia, a college student, the daughter of a county party secretary, and a reporter for a provincial newspaper in a big city, fell in love with a coal miner who read Reference News and dug coal every day. Even the identity of a coal miner was obtained by Tian Xiaoxia for Sun Shaoping by using her father's name.

Sun Shaoping, who went to Daya Bay Coal Mine, needed the warmth of home. His master's wife had it, but Tian Xiaoxia, who worked 996 hours a day and was busy on business trips, didn't have it.

It doesn’t matter. The mortality rate in coal mines is high. Now that the master is dead, his wife has no place to go.

What should Tian Xiaoxia do?
It doesn’t matter. Let her go and save others and die with the halo on her back. This will allow her to give way without affecting Sun Shaoping’s image.

Only a high-end woman like Tian Xiaoxia, the daughter of an executive, a college student, and pure, can be worthy of Sun Shaoping.

Ordinary women, if they are lucky, are allowed to admire the male protagonist and make unilateral contributions to him, but if they are not worthy of him, they are not worthy of him.

Those who are unlucky will naturally have all kinds of bad luck...

What's so ordinary about it?
"Then will you answer it?"

Shen Liang thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Yes... but there is one thing, you must write the script well, and then find me a teacher who speaks Shaanxi dialect, and record the voice in Shaanxi dialect in advance, and I have to memorize it!"

After a pause, Shen Liang added: "I will definitely shoot this drama well..."

"Is the script good?"

"It doesn't matter whether the script is good or bad, but the book "Life" is very important. I heard from my dad that when he was in love, he talked to my mom about "Life"..."
