I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 700 Recording a Program (55)

In fact, the reputation of "A Longing for Life" began to decline rapidly since the fourth season.

Probably because no one pretends anymore!
Didn’t Huang Lei even say “There’s no need to chat with people you don’t know well”?

It’s not that Huang Lei is intolerant, nor that those guests are bad, it’s just a matter of unfamiliarity.

We were too unfamiliar with each other, and there was no old friendship or cooperation to talk about. Even though everyone was very polite to each other and no one meant to find fault, the feeling of embarrassment, helplessness, not knowing what to say, and having to deal with it with gritted teeth that everyone was familiar with in daily social interactions came back immediately.

Then I saw many young people coming to help cautiously, calling out "teacher"...

Very awkward!
Most importantly, the format of the show is too monotonous, and the resident guests are completely incapable of creating or responding to gags.

Especially Zhang Zifeng, who is really the most unbearable among the regular guests on gag-free variety shows. She is a variety show black hole with no end in sight and no hope. She can't pick up the gags or the words, and no matter what you throw at her, there's no response.

As a result, Peng Yuchang also had a tendency to become a black hole when he appeared on "Longing". He just couldn't keep up with the conversation!
It was extremely embarrassing to face Huang He's ridicule. Really, if this kind of sarcastic person cannot resolve the ridicule with humor, then the ridicule will be really uncomfortable to watch.

If this continues, "Longing for Life" will probably become "Friends, Please Listen"...

In one episode of "Friends, Please Listen Well", Teacher He teased a cat for ten minutes, saying something like "Why are you so cute? Can I give you some dried meat?" Finally, He Jiong and Xie Na sat down together, and Teacher He told Xie Na about how cats act like monsters for another five minutes...

The worst thing is that all of these were actually broadcast in the main film!

Really, there is no content at all.

As for the new member Zhang Yixing…

I don't understand the point of him joining this show at all.

Maybe his schedule was empty, Huang Lei invited him, so he came...

In the past, many viewers watched every episode, but now, they just pick their favorite guests to watch...

However, there were no particularly popular stars participating in the entire last season!

Except the one when Shen Liang came!

However, the investment promotion of "A Longing for Life" is really top-notch - the sixth season set the annual investment promotion record for Mango TV!

Including the farewell season of the seventh season, eight sponsorships, and the top slow variety show, "Longing" has always been very successful in attracting investment.

……

After arriving at Sanya Airport, Shen Liang and Rouba took a car to the recording location.

I heard that Shen Teng and Mary have arrived.

In the car, Rouba reminded him, "You'll pass me the topic later!"

"…How can I pass the topic to you…I'm not the host."

"Then what should I do? I am not familiar with..."

Shen Liang waved his hand: "It's okay, just be responsible for being beautiful..."

The recording location is Shayutang Community in Haiwei Town, Changjiang County, Hainan Province…

Close to the sea.

After getting off the car, Shen Liang looked at Rouba's big suitcase in silence: "We're only staying for one day, why did you bring so many things?"

"…And you?"

"I can just carry a bag... I'll carry it for you."

Both of them were dressed very coolly, Shen Liang wore a light blue shirt, white T-shirt and casual pants, while Rouba wore a white T-shirt and denim skirt, and both wore canvas shoes.

They soon arrived at the place and Teacher He came out to greet them in person, followed by Shen Teng, Mary and Zhang Zifeng.

"Teacher He, Uncle Shen, Sister Mary... Zi Feng!"

After saying hello, the two entered the living room.

"It's pretty nice here... close to the beach..." Shen Liang turned his head and looked at Rouba: "Have you ever seen the sea?"

"What?"

"You are a girl from Xinjiang... You probably rarely see the sea!"

Rouba said: "I studied in Shanghai..."

"Oh, I forgot...Where's Mr. Huang?"

"He went to negotiate with the production team..."

"Negotiation?"

"Make some food..."

……

The flow of "Longing for Life" is fixed, basically just chatting, the so-called work, in fact, is not much work, it is nothing like "Let's Farm", those people are really farming! "Ms. Mary, has the filming of "Keep You Safe" been completed?"

"Well, the filming is finished... Are you an investor in that play?"

Shen Liang nodded: "At first I was going to play the role myself, but then I found out that the male lead had a daughter, so the logic of the script made sense, and then I was gone..."

"Replaced with Lei Jiayin?"

"Well... Big Head Brother is quite suitable for playing this kind of role..."

Shen Teng joined in: "What are you talking about?"

Mary said casually: "... Let's talk about work. I just finished the movie "Keep You Safe". Shen Liang is the producer, producer and screenwriter..."

Shen Liang quickly explained: "I'm not the screenwriter, I just came up with an idea. The screenwriter and director are both Brother Dong Runnian..."

"You are the producer, right?"

Shen Teng praised him: "...Wow, you are a film investor at such a young age..."

“I’m just trying it out…”

“You want to be a movie mogul?”

"I have this idea. After all, actors are too passive... they can only wait for the choice passively..."

"You're so right!"

Shen Liang did not respond, but changed the subject: "When I was in Communication University of China, I often went to the Happy Twist Theater in Chaoyang District to watch your performances..."

Shen Teng became interested: "What have you seen?"

“I’ve watched almost all of them, including The Earl of Wulong Mountain, Charlotte’s Troubles, Li Cha’s Aunt, and Carmen! ”

"Which one do you like best?"

Shen Liang answered without thinking: "Charlotte's Troubles..."

“…you don’t like anything else?”

"It's not that I don't like it, I just feel like it's missing something..."

As they were chatting, He Jiong and Rouba came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about Mahua's drama..."

He Jiong: "Are you an amateur?"

Shen Liang explained: "I'm not a die-hard fan, but I've seen most of them... I was in college at the time and had nothing to do. I didn't like going to bars or nightclubs, so I often went to see Mahua's plays with my classmates..."

He Jiong: "When was the last time you went to see it?"

"It should be 19, with my parents. I haven't been back to BJ for a long time..." Shen Liang passed the topic to Rouba: "Have you seen it?"

"…without…"

Rouba shook his head in embarrassment.

Shen Liang looked disgusted: "She is a stay-at-home girl. She stays at home during her rest time. I heard that the longest record is that she stayed at home for half a month without going downstairs..."

Mary was stunned: "Really?"

"Um…"

"Then what do you do with your meal?"

“I can order takeout…”

Shen Liang interrupted: "You can't be an actor like this, you have to experience life, what's the point of experiencing it like this!"

"What about you? What do you do during your break?"

"I haven't had a rest in the past few years. I only take a day or two off occasionally, but I also have to participate in activities..."

"You are even less in touch with life than I am!"

"Who said that? I broadcast live every week and I know a lot about the national economy and people's livelihood..."

After a few words, He Jiong suddenly asked, "When will "New Journey" be released?"

"It should be next month, but I can't guarantee it now!"

"What?"

"With cinemas closed all the time, no movie can announce its exact release date a month in advance! Isn't it because of this that 'Lone Moon' still can't get an exact release date?"
