I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 754 Cooperation Plan? (23)

"Brother Jing, you are too lazy... I can see you in a lot of movie set visits every day..."

Wu Jing was speechless: "Brother, I'm almost fifty and my health is not good. When I was young, I also had three or four plays a year!"

"Then how do you have time to visit people everywhere?"

“I don’t visit many movie sets, right?”

"Not many?" Shen Liang was surprised: "It has become a marketing routine: Wu Jing visits the set, Huo Siyan cries... and Zhang Yi is shocked!"

"Zhang Yi was shocked?"

Wu Jing expressed his incomprehension. Zhang Yimou has been in charge for decades after all. How could he be shocked eight hundred times a day?

Scalp tingling?

This is how publicity is done nowadays, releasing some footage of veteran actors acting out scenes together, giving close-ups, and adding shocking BGM, and the sense of oppression, eyes, and instantly changing expressions are immediately there!
Really, it's a play, a bunch of people jumping up and down and blowing the breeze behind...

"It's not important... What are you doing recently? Are you still going to make "The Tai Chi Master"? "

“…I have an idea…” Wu Jing whispered, “It’s based on “Enter the Dragon”… It tells the story of a Tai Chi master who hides his real name and immigrates to the United States to work as a dishwasher in Chinatown. In order to protect his compatriots who were threatened by thugs, he stood up and later founded a martial arts school to pass on his skills to others…”

Shen Liang was speechless and directly retorted: "A Tai Chi master went to the United States to wash dishes? Are you crazy?"

"How do we change it?"

"Unless he has committed a crime in his country, such as killing someone, otherwise, there is no need for him to live in seclusion...Besides, why go to the United States? He can just go to Africa... and defeat the mercenaries...I tell you, if our action movies want to go global, we have to fight white people!"

“Hit the white people?”

"Why is Bruce Lee so popular? Because he beat up white people. The same goes for Wolf Warrior 2... It would be better to make a cool movie where a yellow man is the savior and a white woman gives away sex for free!"

"Then it's not a traditional kung fu movie..."

“Kung Fu movies also need innovation…”

The two were chatting enthusiastically when the award ceremony officially began...

Shen Liang stood up: "I almost forgot, I still have to go on stage to sing..."

……

Liang Ge sang two songs, "As Wish" and "Bright"...

I feel like these two songs have almost become the songs used at major film award ceremonies.

Shen Liang didn't care, since he didn't have to sing live anyway.

There are no particularly positive songs in the second album...

Although there is a song called "Don't Panic, There's Moonlight After the Sun Sets" which is considered to be a sentimental song, it is certainly not as grand as "As Wish"!
Oh, the number of listeners of "The Second One" exceeded 7 million, and the total number of views on the three platforms of TME exceeded 100 billion...

The number of collectors exceeds 4 million!
Although the song is not so popular that it can be found everywhere, thanks to the spread of TikTok, all 14 songs are on the list, especially "If We Ever Broke Up", which successfully topped the Spotify monthly chart...

Shen Liang himself doesn’t care much about these things, but his fans are like it’s Chinese New Year, promoting them in various ways…

It's normal. Shen Liang rarely tops the charts, which results in his songs not having very good "data" abroad, not as good as Zhang Yixing, Wang Jiaer, Cai Xukun and the like...

And Liang Ge doesn’t have an Instagram account or Twitter…

Even YouTube is run by a fan team…

The data is really not that good!
But his influence is real. A work like "New Journey" that satirizes domestic entertainment has sold copyrights to 110 countries and regions overseas...

Back to the awards ceremony. The Best Actress award went to Mary for her performance in The Professional...

Mary was very excited: "...I watched the movies produced by Changchun Film Studio when I was little. I never thought that I would be able to stand on this stage and receive an award one day. I am very excited. It's like a god."

Then Best Actor.

The Changchun Film Festival has ten awards: Best Director, Film, Actor, Actress, Photography, Music, Editing, Screenplay, and a Special Jury Award. The Best Debut Director Award was added two years ago...

As the award presenter Wang Luodan opened the envelope, "The winner of the 17th China Changchun Film Festival Best Actor is... "Miracle Stupid Kid", Shen Liang!"

Then Shen Liang hugged Wen Muye who was sitting next to him, straightened his suit, went on stage, bent down and took the Golden Deer Award trophy and a certificate...

"It's my third time winning an award..." Shen Liang smiled and said, "Thanks to the Changchun Film Festival and the judges..."

"In fact, during the filming of the movie "Miracle Stupid Kid", I had a very unpleasant argument with Director Wen. He wanted to go for realism, but after reading the script, I felt that the whole story was just a fairy tale... We had a big argument, and a week before the filming started, I ignored him and he ignored me... Thank you Director Wen for your tolerance!"

"I'm really under a lot of pressure to win the Best Actor award three times in a row, but after looking at the nominated movies and actors, I didn't see "The Moon Walks Alone" or Shen Teng and Wu Jing, so I can say, 'I don't deserve it, who else can deserve it but me!'"

"Thank you again to the Changchun Film Festival, thank you!"

……

The Best Director award went to Xue Xiaolu's "Embracing You Through the Cold Winter", and the Best Film award went to "The Watergate Bridge at the Battle of Changjin Lake"...

There is also a jury award "You are my spring"...

These are all tribute productions!

Regardless of the reputation, the award must be given.

It is this kind of award-giving idea that causes the audience to have no interest in the awards at all...

Ah, the legacy of the state-owned film studios...

Because these awards, including the Golden Rooster Awards, were originally awarded to several state-owned film studios, and they are used to sharing the pork...

Moreover, those predecessors and experts who hold the power of discourse have long been out of tune with the general public.

Most importantly, they don’t care about the so-called public opinion at all…

After the awards ceremony, the first question in the Changchun Film Festival interview program was, "As the first male actor in the mainland to have a cumulative box office of over 550 billion, and to have won the Best Actor Award for three consecutive years, do you have any special feelings?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment and replied, "I'm still quite excited... The box office represents the recognition of the audience, and the awards represent professional recognition... The fact that I've won awards for three consecutive years also represents professional recognition!"

'You mentioned Shen Teng and Wu Jing...are you surprised that they were not shortlisted?'

"Yes!" Shen Liang nodded: "I always think that actors who are liked by the public are good actors... Shen Teng and Wu Jing are loved by the public... To be honest, I think the other nominated actors are a bit unfair!"

'What new work plans do you have next?'

"I'm about to join the crew to shoot a movie... This role is quite subversive for me, so I won't spoil it. I think it will surprise the audience and it's a role that no one has seen before."

"You collaborated with Master Wu Jing on the film 'Tai Chi Master'..."

Shen Liang smiled and said, "That's still being pushed forward... Just ask him for the specific situation. I'll be on standby at any time!"

"By the way, Keep You Safe is your first film to be invested and produced, and it has grossed over 16 billion yuan. Do you have anything to say to the audience?"

"I am grateful to the audience for their trust and support. I am really grateful to them because the movie is definitely not perfect. We have some shortcomings, but they tolerate us... Thank you audience!"
