I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 77 Oh my god, this is a sure thing! (15)

As several dramas became hits, investors set their sights on Noon Sunshine.

With capital support, Noon Sunshine seeks to expand its production capacity.

Originally, Noon continued Shanying's production model, which required a long time to polish a TV series.

However, in 2016, Noon Sunshine started filming five TV series in one year, which is a significant increase compared to the previous pace of two to three per year.

Then, "He's Coming, Please Close Your Eyes", "Ode to Joy 2" and "Surgeons" were released...

These dramas don’t have very good reputations!

"The Surgeons" performed slightly better, but it collided head-on with the best drama of the decade "In the Name of People", which was completely destroyed.

But this did not change the direction of Noon’s drama production…

"Like a Flowing River", "Knowing Your Destiny", and "All Is Well" were all launched at about the same time!
The person who just spoke to Shen Liang was Han Zhijie, the deputy director of content for Tencent Video. Tencent has supported almost all of Noon Sunshine’s dramas…

Although Shen Liang’s film and television contracts have not been signed, it is assumed that he is an artist on the Tencent platform - Wajijiwa is all invested by Tencent...

So, in his opinion, Shen Liang is one of his own.

We are one of them, so we must help him. Besides, Shen Liang is very popular...

Well, since "Long River" is not suitable, I recommend him to "Do You Know?"

"Do You Know..."

“You can buy a copy and read it at home…”

"Well, thank you, Mr. Han..."

……

The original novel of "The Story of Minglan" is very famous and ranks first among Jinjiang's domestic fighting novels!

Book fans give it high praise, calling it "Little Dream of the Red Chamber", mainly because almost all the characters that appear in the book have their own characteristics and there is no repetition.

What was popular at that time was the Mary Sue novel, which was about a time traveler with an aura that made her famous. This type of protagonist often had a sense of superiority due to her modern wisdom, and was sharp and invincible.

However, readers will get bored after reading too many similar novels.

The emergence of "Knowing" allows readers to see another possibility: in ancient times, you don't have to be courageous and resourceful, as long as you are content and able to assess the situation at all times, you can still live a prosperous and colorful life.

The tone of the book was set from the beginning: the heroine must both follow the rules and have the worldly happiness of a winner in life.

Of course, from Shen Liang's perspective, "Knowing Your Destiny" is definitely incomparable to "A Dream of Red Mansions"!

Just to say one thing: pattern, that is, the purpose!

The intention is the most important thing. If the intention is low, no matter how good the writing is, it will still be of low quality.

The hypocrisy and servility of the protagonist revealed in the story cannot be concealed by the gorgeous appearance!

In that era, Cao Gong was still able to write biographies of women in the boudoir to praise those women with ideals and talents and affirm the value of women. He could also appreciate and praise girls of humble origins.

Modern authors, on the contrary, are keen on palace fighting and house fighting, aiming to win the favor of men, excluding and oppressing other women and belittling their own value. Their vision is really too narrow.

However, "Knowing" is indeed a phenomenal TV series.

The long tail effect is amazing!
From these two pictures, we can see that a drama that has been on the air for four or five years can still dominate the charts...

This drama is definitely a successful series!
Although the heroine is not very well portrayed, the group characters are well portrayed, including the hot-tempered eldest lady, the elegant and profound old father Sheng, the good singer and songwriter Lin Xiaoniang, the kind and wise old lady, even the pretentious Molan, the silly Rulan, and the several sons of the Sheng family with their own characteristics...

They are also the highlights of the TV series.

But who can Shen Liang play?

The male lead Gu Tingye?

This belongs to Feng Shaofeng!

Feng Shaofeng is a first-line actor, a part of the capital...

Not only that, he is also Shen Liang's role model - he has had relationships with many top female stars...

He was talking about half of the Chinese entertainment industry.

There is a saying that goes like this: When Feng Shaofeng attends those entertainment industry award ceremonies, it is essentially like attending a meeting with his ex-girlfriend.

In comparison, Wang Sicong is just a younger brother, who can only play around with internet celebrities at most. If Uncle Feng wants to find someone, he will look for top female stars to fight with.

What kind of celebrity is Shen Liang, to have snatched the role from Feng Shaofeng?

Then… Young Master Qi Heng? The character of Qi Heng meets all the requirements of the male protagonist. He is hardworking, has a prominent family background, is handsome, gentle and polite, and can distinguish right from wrong. He is almost perfect!

But this role carries the family's glory, one's own ambitions, and the expectations of his parents.

The heavy shackles prevented him from making his own choices.

What's more, he has a mother whose general principles are absolutely correct and who has planned an absolutely correct life path for him. Qi Heng's helplessness lies in the fact that even he himself cannot deny his mother's correctness.

Therefore, he is destined to be a tragedy, as a young man faces the dilemma of choosing between future and love: if he chooses love, he may regret it many years later, and the couple may end up being enemies; if he chooses the future, he will be disappointed and regretful for the rest of his life.

So, he is the second male lead.

Well, try your best and compete with Qi Heng!

……

"I have an audition for a play tomorrow... a play produced by Noon Sunshine... a TV series!"

“…Whether I get it or not, I will definitely return to Qingdao tomorrow afternoon…”

"How could I quit? I've been filming for half a month!"

After sending Li Guangjie to the airport, Shen Liang returned to Hengdian to prepare for tomorrow's audition...

Li Guangjie didn't get the role, but the trip was worthwhile - Huang Wei said that "The Eastward Flowing River" will be filmed in three parts, and he will be given a suitable role in the last two parts!

As for Shen Liang...

He probably won't appear in "A Flowing River".

Fully prepare for "Do You Know"...

In fact, Shen Liang knew that the chances of him getting a role were slim, after all, he was a newcomer with no works!
Moreover, he is considered a singer in the industry...

But it's not without advantages. First, he's the right age. Second, he looks the right way. In addition, he's very popular.

The most important thing is that he is an investor!
In addition, "Knowing Your Destiny" is also called "The Story of Minglan". Just hearing the name gives the feeling of a heroine. Generally, in dramas with heroines, male actors who are really popular and have no shortage of roles rarely appear in them.

Because the ranking was suppressed...

Shen Liang doesn't care much about his ranking. When he acts, he first puts himself in the right position.

What position?
Actor's location!
Actors serve the script, but the script itself does not serve the actors. The actor's responsibility is to make the work better through his own role shaping...

He just doesn't understand why the male and female protagonists have to fight for the ranking?

Whoever wins the award is the protagonist, and whoever fails cannot escape the responsibility!

It is obvious that male actors in female lead dramas also have to fight for a place...

are you crazy?

What's the matter? Can you two quarreling over the show make it better?

By the way, Shen Liang is compiling a biography of the character - acting skills and so on, I guess those who can't impress others still need to rely on sincerity...

What is sincerity?

This was taught to him by Li Guangjie. Li Guangjie used himself as an example, "When I was filming "Towards the Republic", in order to play the role of Emperor Guangxu well, I read a lot of information and wrote three biographies..."

Well, I suggest he come up with something!

Shen Liang didn't have anything to show for it, so he wrote a short biography...

While I was writing, Chen Jiadong knocked on the door...

Shen Liang stood up and opened the door: "What's wrong?"

"The company asked if you wanted to fly over?"

"What's flying over here?"

"Aren't you going to audition for "Do You Know?" Mr. Ma said he wanted to fly over to help you out..."

"What can she do here? This is a serious drama, not an idol drama..."

"But this is a series scheduled by Mango TV..."

"Mango TV reservation?"

Shen Liang's eyes lit up...this is a sure thing!
