I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 74: Song Promotion
"Of course, it's a TV series directed by Huang Wei... Mr. Huang Wei was previously the cinematographer of Towards the Republic, and he has a good relationship with Uncle Li. He is now filming a new work and invited Uncle Li to audition. Uncle Li thought there might be a role suitable for me, so he took me along."

"So are you going to the audition?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Of course I will go... Uncle Li said this is a good show, and the cast is very good, I will definitely go!"

"Team? What team?"

"Director Huang Wei, you don't know? You should know about Noon Sunshine, right?"

Chen Jiadong was excited: "Noon Sunshine? You want to cooperate with Noon Sunshine?"

"…cooperate with Der, who can I play in "The Eastward Flowing River"? "

"'The River Flows East'? A Nai's 'The River Flows East'?"

"Yes...Have you seen it?"

"Of course, I have seen all of An Nai's works..." After a pause, Chen Jiadong said, "I think you can compete with Song Yunhui!"

Without even raising his head, Shen Liang cursed, "Are you crazy? Do you think I can compete with Wang Kai? Am I worthy?"

Well, Shen Liang still has self-awareness...

Wang Kai is the exclusive actor of Noon Sunshine dramas. He has excellent acting skills and image. Why would they abandon their own people to support you?
Chen Jiadong also felt a little stupid: "Wang Kai plays Song Yunhui... What about Yang Xun? The character of Yang Xun is also very complicated..."

Shen Liang interrupted him: "Why didn't you tell me to play Lei Dongbao?"

"You can't play Lei Dongbao. Lei Dongbao is a country boy. You don't look like him at all!"

"…It's good to know. Yang Xun represents the group of self-employed people after the reform and opening up… Do I look like a self-employed person?"

"The Eastward Flowing River" is a very good work, which creates three protagonists, Song Yunhui, Lei Dongbao and Yang Xun, who are very representative and can be called typical.

From the perspective of typicality, these three people represent the images of reformers and successful people in the three main economic forms during China's reform and opening up period, namely, the state-owned economy, the collectively owned economy, and the private economy!
Moreover, the relationship between these three people is closely linked together, and the ups and downs of their fate make this epoch-making masterpiece have a strong sense of accident.

But these three characters are too far away from Shen Liang...

At least, Shen Liang thought so!
"…Then why are you auditioning? Are you going to play a supporting role? There aren't any memorable supporting roles in "The Eastward Flowing River"…"

"Uncle Li, if I give you a chance, I will definitely go and have a look... Besides, Noon Sunshine doesn't just make one movie, there must be a role that suits me, it would be good to go and show my face..."

……

Noon Sunshine is the face of Chinese opera!
In its early days, Noon Sunshine was more like a production department of Shanying, or simply the "Kongsheng Studio". Phenomenal works such as "The Battle of Changsha" and "All Quiet in Peking" were completed in this context.

It was founded by Kong Sheng, Li Xue and others.

In addition to gathering two of the three corners of Shanying's iron triangle, Noon Sunshine also brings together assistants trained by Kong Sheng and a new generation of directors, as well as a production team composed of art, lighting, costume, makeup, and prop workers.

Hou Hongliang, who was in charge of production in the iron triangle at that time, remained in Shanying and served as general manager.

During the period of 2011-2014, although Noon Sunshine established its own studio, it did not produce works as an independent company and still relied on Shanying and maintained close cooperation with it.

Shanying's "A Family in Wenzhou" in 2012 was still the iron triangle - Hou Hongliang, Kong Sheng, and Li Xue, the iron triangle, working together. The 2014 "Parents' Love" also adopted this pairing mode.

In 2014, on the eve of Shanying's listing, Hou Hongliang left...the reason was simple: he failed in the power struggle!

Hou Hongliang joined Noon Sunshine with the planning, publicity, production, and agency departments.

With his joining, Noon Sunshine gradually began to transform from a post-production company to an independent production company.

When joining Noon Sunshine, Hou Hongliang gave himself five years. He thought it would take five years for Noon Sunshine to become famous...

Unexpectedly, the audience who were tired of watching bad dramas were already clamoring for more. Five years? Are you kidding? In just one year, two hits pushed them to the position of "the face of Chinese drama".

One "Nirvana in Fire" and another "The Disguiser"...

There is no way. Before this, the TV drama market was flooded with all kinds of bad dramas!

The main ones are big IP + young actors, or Yu Zheng style A Bao dramas...

As a result, many viewers who have high requirements for the quality of TV series only watch British, American, Japanese and Korean TV series. Starting with "The Disguiser" and "Nirvana in Fire", the audience regained their confidence in domestic TV series, and they have been a hit all the way...

After that, a phenomenal drama "Ode to Joy" was launched. Thanks to the success of "Ode to Joy", many female stars such as Liu Tao and Wang Ziwen reached the top of their careers. Yang Zi broke through the bottleneck of child star transformation and became a popular flower...

Noon Sunshine has not only become the light of Chinese drama, but also a popularity indicator in the industry. At that time, there was a rumor in the industry that whoever Noon Sunshine promoted would become famous.

Of course, Noon Sunshine definitely has problems, and the biggest problem is... except for director Kong Sheng, no director has the ability to tell a long story.

The difference between short and long TV series: Long TV series have many characters and a long time span, so it is easy for the main plot to deviate.

As for the short TV series, such as "The Beginning", it only has 15 episodes. No matter how far it deviates from the topic, it still cannot be separated from the main storyline of the protagonists.

"Meeting Time", "Children of the Qiao Family", "Qing Ping Le", "Like a Flowing River 2" and "Welcome" are all typical dramas without a main storyline.

While filming, the director forgot what the central idea of ​​the play was?
I want everything, but in the end, everything is done with just a few simple strokes.

Then I bought all kinds of hot searches...

Ahem, but for Shen Liang at this stage, being able to participate in a drama produced by Noon Sunshine is definitely a good thing!
……

There are actually no serious music shows in China!
There are not many idols in total, and every time we host a music show, we have to gather people from everywhere. There are not many artists who can support the ratings, and it is normal to have one meal and one meal. The show can't be held...

Even if it were Shen Liang, he wouldn’t be able to do a music show!
Why are there so many music shows in Korea?
There are three well-known TV stations in South Korea, SBS, KBS and MBC. Each TV station has a corresponding music promotion stage. SBS is "Inkigayo", KBS is "Music Bank" and MBC is "Music Core".

In fact, the ratings of Korean music shows are also very low. They rely on the appearance fees collected from the management companies to continue, and they also make some money by holding Kpop concerts.

——The ratings of music shows all over the world are very low. Apart from fans, who watches the music shows?
Moreover, music shows were essentially an important channel for promoting new songs and boosting sales in the pre-internet era, equivalent to radio DJs with pictures. In the internet era, they are like the old waves on the beach, and are declining even more...

Shen Liang mainly used CCTV's stage to promote his show. "Golden 100 Seconds" is not a singing show. "Golden 100 Seconds" is actually a stage for amateurs to show their talents. Occasionally, singers come to sing.
As for "Global Chinese Music Chart", it is a music show broadcast on CCTV Music Channel...

This show is quite embarrassing, the ratings are very low, few of the singers invited are well-known, and 10 out of 8 are covers. It is not a show that encourages originality.

Moreover, the singers range from those born in the 1960s to those born in the 2000s, and the songs range from revolutionary songs to folk songs to popular songs. The final result is a hodgepodge, and neither the middle-aged nor the young audiences buy into it.

However, Shen Liang still worked very hard and won his first trophy in life...
