I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 773 Dinner (33)

"Celebrating Yu Nian 2" is confirmed to start filming in May...

This is a project that has been booked in advance as the drama king of the year!

Shen Liang directly brought out three roles, three actors named Zhang Weiyi, Zuo Lingfeng, and Liu Tong. Before the "Comedy Competition", they were considered as mediocre actors in the entertainment industry. It was definitely a chance that they were invited to play in a big drama like "Celebrating Yu Nian 2"...

Shen Liang explained: "Joy of Life 2 and Joy of Life 3 were shot consecutively... The roles played by the three of you are quite important."

“Why the continuous shooting?”

"My suggestion..." Shen Liang explained: "...If I don't shoot it, I will be over 30 years old...I may not feel the same when playing Fan Xian again..."

"Is it the original crew?"

"Well, we just gathered the original team and waited until now..."

"Then congratulations to so-and-so first!"

It was almost over, and Shen Liang suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I have a question for Tian Fang..."

"You say!"

"I just watched that episode of 'I Want to Sing Me to You'. Do you think Miss Nuyin didn't like it?"

“This is just my personal experience…”

"In fact, angry voice is best paired with rock songs. 'I Want to Sing Me to You' is a folk song. If you sing a folk song with angry voice, it will definitely not sound good!"

Li Dan immediately responded: "Then you come one!"

“…I’m just commenting on it.”

The audience below was shouting, "Come on, come on!"

"Okay, okay," Shen Liang stood up. "It just so happened that I wrote a song called "Why Not Go Home and Drink Tap Water" a few days ago. I'll sing this song today... Where's the live sound system?"

"It's better to go home and drink tap water", the explosive emotions are very shocking, and you will be addicted to it as soon as you listen to it... It feels like hysteria and madness!

After communicating with the on-site sound system for a few minutes, Shen Liang took the stage, accompanied by the prelude...

Shen Liang started speaking directly: "I walked through the depressing forests, the frozen streams and the bottom of the sea full of fish, but I couldn't take you there~"

When it came to the chorus, Shen Liang opened his voice directly: "I think this love has long been broken into pieces. The surging tide made me retreat and then rushed into the mud. I raised my glass to the crowd and no one cared who I was. It's better to go home and drink tap water than to be alone from beginning to end~"

"Sounds good!"

Shen Liang smiled and said, "I also added a lot of angry sounds... Actually, angry sounds are not cliché. I just think some songs are suitable for adding some angry sounds, and then I sang them. Don't infer the reasons. Many music critics, such as Ding Taisheng, like to say that they 'catered to the sinking market'. When I wrote the song, I thought it sounded good to sing it this way, and it sounded good to write it this way... Of course, Ding Taisheng's Weibo has been banned, but I still want to say that you should not speculate on the creator's creative intentions, it's boring!"

Li Dan: "You really love him... You didn't forget to scold him on the last show!"

"... "

"Okay, back to the show, now for the awards..."

……

"Brother, you still have to continue the promotion, right?"

"Well, our flight tonight is to Shanghai!"

"Then you go first..."

After finishing the recording, Shen Liang said goodbye to Dong Runnian, and then went to a drinking party organized by Guo Fan, Wu Jing and Lu Yang.

We arrived at the hotel, found the private room, pushed the door open, and saw only three people there, already drinking!

Wu Jing saw him: "…Why are you so late?"

Shen Liang took off his coat and hung it behind the door, then sat down and explained, "I can't leave during the recording of the show!"

"'The Annual Comedy Contest'?"

"Yes, it's a show produced by Ma Dong!"

Lu Yang: "I've watched one episode, it's pretty good..." "...Ma Dong is really good at hosting a show!" As he spoke, Shen Liang picked up his glass and said, "Come on, let's clink glasses."

"…Um!"

Several people raised their glasses, Shen Liang drank it all in one gulp, and then Guo Fan poured the wine: "Can "Annual Meetings Can't Stop" have a box office of 7000 million today?"

Shen Liang: "Almost. I just checked... I estimate that the box office will be over 4 million by New Year's Day. In the three days of New Year's Day, it should be over 6 million..."

Lu Yang: "What a pity!"

"pity?"

"Such a good movie, if it were released in a different time slot, it would definitely make over 20 billion!"

"It's not that a good movie will have box office success... and compared to Avatar 2, it's good enough to just break even!"

"That's true..."

Guo Fan remembered something: "Has the Chinese Family you wrote been confirmed to be filmed?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Let's shoot..."

"It's hard for this kind of plot to get a high box office..."

Wu Jing interrupted: "Chinese Family?"

Shen Liang explained: "It tells the story of an unemployed young man named An who saw his cousin inherit a property because she took care of her seriously ill grandfather. He also became interested in his terminally ill grandmother and planned to replicate his cousin's "road to wealth" to obtain a million-dollar inheritance. However, faced with equally "hard-working" uncles and a picky and sharp-tongued grandmother, An's road to becoming a full-time filial grandson and "living off his grandmother to get rich" does not seem to be as smooth as he expected..."

"Chinese Family" is "Grandma's Grandson"...

This is the drama that Shen Liang remembers most after his rebirth...

This movie is very East Asian: no matter how selfish and conscienceless the son is, the mother will always favor the son;
No matter how well he took care of his daughter, at most he would only get a compliment in return, and she would still not be given any real inheritance.

The most terrifying thing is that my mother was also a victim of this in her own family...

The most touching thing about this movie is the grandmother herself: her fear and sadness in the face of hair loss from chemotherapy, her murmurs when she was tortured by pain at night and begged her parents to take her away, and her calm but heart-breaking disappointment when she found out that the grandson she thought was the only one who truly loved her was actually no different from the children who were staring at her inheritance...

Of course, this movie is not very dramatic, so it is hard to continue Shen Liang’s box office legend record…

"It's okay. There has to be someone to make and act in this kind of movie..."

Lu Yang suggested: "Why don't you be the director yourself? It can also be a publicity point!"

Hearing this, Shen Liang was stunned for a moment: "...I'm a director..."

“Can’t you be a director?”

"It's too troublesome... I still have to worry about the on-site filming..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "Lu Yang, help me shoot!"

"I'm going to be working on "Shu Shan 2" and "Assassination of Novelist 2" next year... where will I have the time?"

"Then I'll wait for Rao Xiaozhi to come back... As it happens, he was the one who filmed A Sun!"

Wu Jing was curious: "Why don't you want to be a director?"

Shen Liang: "I don't have such a strong desire to express myself... I don't like to worry about a project for so long... I'm fine with being an investor or producer!"

After a pause, Shen Liang changed the subject: "I heard that The Wandering Earth has been fighting for very few screenings with the theaters?"

Guo Fan shook his head: "…I couldn't get the IMAX schedule…"

"why?"

“They are more optimistic about “Man Jiang Hong”!”

“I heard that the share of the profit from “Man Jiang Hong” will be given to the cinema a little more…”

"Alas!" Shen Liang sighed: "If this continues, the Spring Festival period will be ruined sooner or later!"

Guo Fan is optimistic: "It's OK, our show is 120 minutes long and has the most performances!"
