I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 733: Busier than filming!
As a variety show, "Talk Show Conference" is still a good variety show to accompany meals...

Just listen to some jokes and have some fun!
As for the dark side...

To be honest, a talk show conference is not a competition;
Competitors revise each other's manuscripts, eliminated contestants help competing contestants revise their manuscripts, and officials organize reading sessions to revise manuscripts together;

He was just using the competition as a cover to do a variety show of talk show;

It’s not a competition, so how can there be any shady dealings?

Shen Liang talked about a lot of things. His popularity makes him deserve a 300 million yuan salary for being able to appear on an online variety show!
However, inviting Xu Zhisheng to star in "Annual Meeting, Can't Stop!"...

Forget it, just make a cameo appearance!
The three main actors of "The Annual Party Can't Stop", Yu Hewei, Bai Ke and Zhao Jinmai, have already been confirmed.

After the recording of the program was over, Shen Liang consoled her: "Don't worry, it will definitely get more screen time than "The Lone Moon"..."

Xu Zhisheng looked aggrieved: "...I didn't even meet Shen Teng in "The Moon Walks Alone"! I didn't even get to go to the set!"

“…This time we’ve invited Shen Teng to play opposite you!”

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you..."

Li Dan was very curious: "Shen Teng is the protagonist?"

"No, it's a special guest appearance..." After a pause, Shen Liang explained: "'Annual Meeting' is a movie that satirizes the workplace. The script is very well written. It accurately controls the satire of workplace chaos in the midst of laughter, anger and scolding, and connects the underlying methodologies such as the Guangjin Plan, factional struggles, and leadership philosophy..."

Long Danny interrupted him: "What did you say?"

"Big factory jargon!"

"Why did you think of doing such a subject?"

"Two years ago, I saw a news story: In a high-end office building in BJ Wangjing, a homeless man locked himself in an unattended storage room during the day, and waited for the employees in the building to get off work, then sneaked out to eat and drink for free in the tea room. He even knew which departments were working overtime or not, and found a deserted place to put together a few chairs to sleep... After chatting with Dong Runnian, I found that this story was not enough to constitute a complete "satire comedy", and we wanted to find a more absurd expression."

"He mentioned the stand-up comedy "Promoted Three Times in a Row" by Master Liu Baorui, which tells the story of a rich man's son, Zhang Haogu, who is illiterate and has the wild idea of ​​taking the imperial examination. As a result, due to official corruption, he is promoted three times in a row and becomes a high-ranking official... So, we have the main plot. As for the annual meeting... You should have seen "Desert Camel" at the 19 New Oriental Annual Meeting..."

Li Dan nodded: "...Of course I know, "Free Myself"..."

New Oriental Annual Meeting, "Release Yourself", a clip of the lyrics: "Working hard, what's the use of having results? In the end, you can't beat the one who writes PPTs!"

"I also wrote a song. I quite like this movie, but I don't know if it can be released during the New Year's Eve..."

"This year? Filming starts in October?"

"It's just a satirical comedy, with no special effects... The post-editing didn't take long, about three months!"

Long Danny asked, "What do you do next?"

"Rest...

"So do you have time to film a drama?"

Shen Liang shook his head directly: "I don't have time... I'm very busy. I don't have any plans to film a drama this year!"

Long Danny: "We are working with Galaxy Cool Entertainment on "Secretly Can't Be Hidden"..."

Shen Liang was curious: "What's wrong? Are you not going to continue with "The Coming One"?"

"Now we are not allowed to participate in the talent show..."

"I won't go," Shen Liang still shook his head: "I don't have enough time!"

“…Forget it!”

"Boss Long, do you know the skit?"

……

Long Danni is famous for her talent shows. She is good at it and has developed path dependence.

But last year, the milk pouring incident on iQiyi's "Youth With You 3" directly interrupted the idol talent show...

It affected "Creation Camp" and "Tomorrow's Son"... In fact, Long Danny struggled - trying to create "Freshman Class 00" to target the post-s...

If we compare the talent show to the campus, the team of tutors is called the teaching team, which can be roughly divided into several parts such as class teachers, visiting teachers, professional teaching and research groups, etc.

Li Yuchun was invited to be the class teacher, and Deng Ziqi and Li Ronghao were invited to serve as guest teachers. The professional teaching and research team consists of six professional teachers, including senior teachers from music schools and well-known music producers Zhang Yadong and Fang Wenshan.

It's essentially a talent show...

The investment promotion work has been completed... and yet they are not allowed to broadcast!

What to do? Make a web series!

"Can't Hide Secretly" and "Dragon Boy" are both dramas produced by Long Danni...

"Can't Hide Secretly" invited Zhao Lusi, who has already become popular...

Back then, Wajijiwa invested in "Oh! My King" to promote the boy band selected by its own company, and the heroine Zhao Rusi Ya'an...

"Can't Be Hidden" is a way to repay the favor owed to Wajijiwa.

"Dragon Boy", Youku bought the copyright of "Dragon Sakura" and invited Long Danny to create it together...

Both dramas were considered successful, and then Long Danny went on to make "Hard to Please" and developed the short drama business by the way!

However, she doesn’t know much about skits now…

Shen Liang could only give her a brief introduction, but Long Danny had no interest in the skit...

Yes, before the platform came into being, many film and television company executives looked down on short dramas!
This is normal. The web series was the same before, and was regarded as the bottom of the contempt chain...

However, capital is profit-seeking!
Once the platform discovers the benefits of short dramas, a lot of film and television companies will definitely join in...

Don’t worry, let’s finish “I was a Stepmother in the 1980s” first!

……

After finishing the recording of "Talk Show Conference", Shen Liang originally thought about finishing recording the album directly in Qingdao. The next day, Guo Fan came to his house and asked him to go to BJ together to attend the premiere of "Assassination of Novelist"!

Shen Liang had no objection. Not to mention "Assassination of Novelist", he also had an investment. Just based on his friendship with Lu Yang, and the leading actors Lei Jiayin and Yang Mi, he had to go to show his support!
Suddenly I feel so busy, even more tired than filming...

Filming means staying in one place, but during rest time, you have to rush around to various places...

Oh, "The Tomorrow War" was released recently, and the box office in the first three days was only 2.02 million, but Maoyan gave a box office forecast of 5 million.

The weekday box office dropped to around 1500 million, and Maoyan revised its forecast: the total box office was 4.31 million...

In fact, the performance of "The Battle of Tomorrow" is already good. "Seven Man Band" released on July 7th, which is said to be seven legendary directors in Hong Kong, each drawing lots to direct a story related to Hong Kong in a certain era, "My Hong Kong and Me"...

The box office barely exceeded 10 million...

Sorry, mainstream audiences have no interest in Hong Kong!
"Seven" was originally called "Eight and a Half" - borrowing the Chinese name of the famous work by Italian film master Fellini.

In addition to Sammo Hung, Ann Hui, Patrick Tam, Yuen Woo-ping, Johnnie To, Ringo Lam and Tsui Hark, other directors involved in this project at that time included John Woo.

The consensus reached was that these eight videos must be shot on film.

It starts with Hong Kong in the 1950s. The eight directors each choose a decade as the background to unfold the story, and end with the last "half" as a vision for the future of Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, during this process, Wu Yusen withdrew due to poor health, and Ringo Lam died of illness in 2018.

In 2019, Media Asia reorganized its structure with part of Ringo Lam's posthumous works, and it became the current "Seven".

When a person reminisces about the past, it is often when he is in an uncertain present and disappointed with the future. When Hong Kong filmmakers began to collectively reminisce about the golden age of the past, Hong Kong films had already declined.

Phenomena worthy of attention in recent years: "Seven Kei Yuen Terrace", "Good Movie Making", "Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Master"... have been released one after another. Hong Kong's "golden age", Hong Kong's new wave, and Hong Kong martial artists have become the objects of collective remembrance.

“Seven” is even more iconic, bringing together a group of big names to formally commemorate Hong Kong’s past.

The finished product is really boring, the story is terrible, the didactic value is forced, and the acting of some of the young actors is terrible... It's so embarrassing.
