I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 78: Changing Two Houses (25)

Wajijiwa has a close relationship with Mango TV…

After all, most of the cast members are from Mango TV. After Shen Liang debuted, in addition to online variety shows, he has only recorded "Day Day Up", a variety show on Mango TV!

There is a saying that goes: What many people hate is not the people with connections themselves, but why I am not a person with connections!
That's quite true.

Shen Liang doesn't care that much about relationships, but why not use them if he has them?
It’s nice to enjoy the shade under a big tree!

Moreover, the film and television industry itself is a network of people, so generally, high-quality and key dramas are basically full of familiar faces...

Therefore, those second-generation people can quickly integrate into the circle...

Of course, personal efforts are also important: Shen Liang stayed up late to write an 8,000-word character analysis of Qi Heng...

Combined with the original...

Ma Hao rushed over that evening and accompanied Shen Liang to the audition the next day.

She has worked at Mango TV for more than ten years and has been the director of many large-scale evening parties. Naturally, she knows many producers and directors...

With her around, Shen Liang was indeed not that nervous...

Shen Liang's image is very good in itself, and he has a gentle temperament. Coupled with his height of 1.8 meters, he is very handsome in ancient costume!
Of course, the most important thing is the biography of Qi Heng.

Any director likes actors who are well prepared.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing, regarding the schedule…

Director Zhang Kaizhou hopes that Shen Liang can join the crew in December to learn ancient etiquette, including walking and saluting postures...

But...Shen Liang definitely can’t leave!

The filming of "The Wandering Earth" is expected to be completed by the end of November, and then we will have to join the crew of "Time Raiders", which will take at least more than a month.

——"Time Travel" is a light romantic comedy. Generally, the shooting period of this type of movie is 30 to 45 days, unless it is a movie like "The Ferryman", which takes six months to shoot...

In other words, even if everything goes well, Shen Liang will not be able to join the team until January next year!
Shen Liang was about to speak when Ma Hao on the other side agreed immediately: "No problem, learning etiquette, there will definitely be no problem on our side...right, Shen Liang!"

"…I…"

"Just give me the actor's contract when the time comes..."

……

After leaving the audition room, Shen Liang complained quietly: "My schedule is not good, I can't adjust it..."

"Is there anything that can't be adjusted?"

Shen Liang told Ma Hao about the film "Time Travel Cohabitation"... and then realized that Ma Hao must know: "No, don't you know that I took on Xu Zheng's film?"

"I know...but the filming of Do You Know? won't start until January next year!"

“…But Director Zhang just said that we need to join the team for training in December…”

Ma Hao said indifferently: "This is a small matter. If it doesn't work, we can help you arrange an ancient etiquette teacher... You can learn from the crew of "Out of Time and Space"!"

"They're talking about group training!"

“…Are you…” Ma Hao turned his head and was about to say something to him, when he suddenly realized something: “Oh, you haven’t auditioned before!”

"I...haven't auditioned, but I..."

"I tell you, if you really want a role, during the audition, no matter what the teacher asks, you have to agree... If he asks you about a certain skill, you have to say you have it... Getting the role is the most important thing! For example, if he asks you if you can ride a horse, you have to say you can, and then find an equestrian teacher to learn..."

“But I really don’t have the time…”

Ma Hao waved his hand: "This is a small matter, I will explain it to the director team when the time comes..."

"Will the director be dissatisfied with me?"

"…Do you think you can play the role of Qi Heng well?"

Shen Liang nodded immediately: "It's not a big problem. The most important thing about Qi Heng is kindness..."

Moreover, Qi Heng’s role is not that many, but it is complete enough, and Shen Liang is confident that he can perform it well!

Ma Hao was too lazy to listen to him talk so much and interrupted him directly: "Don't analyze the role to me. Since you have confidence, after joining the crew, just impress the director with your performance. A good director, regardless of whether he has opinions about the actors themselves, pays more attention to the actors' handling of the role..." "...Is that so..."

Ma Hao changed the subject: "I heard from your mother that she plans to contact the Spring Festival Gala production team?"

"Um…"

"'Flowering Along the Way'?"

"No, it's another song called "Wanjiang"..." Shen Liang turned on his phone and said, "This is the demo..."

"Let me hear it..."

Ma Hao took the phone and listened for a while: "The opening line 'The red sun rises in the east, and its avenue is full of rosy clouds' is from 'On Youthful China' 'The sun rises in the east, and its avenue is full of rosy clouds'?"

"Hmm?" Why not 'The red sun rises in the east'?"

“…That’s fine. We need to put a word between “日” and “升” so that it sounds more comfortable…”

“…Why add the sense of drama?”

Shen Liang scratched his head; "…This is a pop song, not a red song…I can't write a red song either, adding opera style will make it more catchy…"

"This is a great song... perfect for the party!"

Shen Liang remembered something: "…Should I release it first? After all, the Spring Festival Gala is not very receptive to new songs…"

The Spring Festival Gala usually doesn’t use new songs from singers…

Even in the current Spring Festival Gala, singers are generally not allowed to sing their own songs, even if they are top stars. They can only sing songs specially customized by the Spring Festival Gala music team...

比如2018年由TFBOYS等21人合唱的《赞赞新时代》、2019年秦兰与吴垒等合唱的《我们都是追梦人》、2020年朱一龍与李线等合唱的《你好2020》，其作词者均为王平久，作曲者均为常石磊。

So, these songs are basically symbolic songs that are thrown away every day!

Oh, I need to explain that there are also good songs among the customized songs, and some of them have even become classics: "Good Luck Comes", "Good Days", "Getting Better and Better" and "Go Home Often" are all customized songs...

However, "Wanjiang" is definitely a duet between Shen Liang and some great singer.

But, is it necessary to promote it in advance?
Ma Hao thought about it, and then said: "Cooperate with the Spring Festival Gala program team...see what they think!"

"That's fine... By the way, I have a song to post."

"Send it right away?"

"Well, it's better to send it right away..."

“Is there a demo?”

"Yes... just in front of Wanjiang..."

Ma Hao flipped up and saw "The Sea of ​​Stars", "Man Is", "Wandering with the Earth" and... "Seaweed Dance"...

"Which one?"

“Seaweed Dance…”

“Are these all new songs?”

"Well, to promote The Wandering Earth..."

“‘Seaweed Dance’ too?”

Shen Liang nodded; "…This is the divine song I created. I hope to earn two houses from it!"

"Earning two houses... you really dare to think..." As he said this, Ma Hao clicked the play button...

Then there was a DJ beat, followed by the brainwashing rhythm of the chorus "Like a seaweed, seaweed, seaweed";
Then it goes into a catchy lyrical melody: "Oh, the vast sea of ​​people, drifting with the tide, floating and sinking";
Then there is rap: "I have walked the steepest mountain road and seen the most magnificent sunrise..."

Ma Hao couldn't help but swear: "Fuck, you can write this kind of song?"

Shen Liang raised his eyebrows: "How about it? Can we change two houses?"
