I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 786 Grandfather's Proposal (13)

The Spring Festival Gala added an interview segment...

After the stars finish their performance, they go to a live broadcast room and answer questions from the host.

This... was not difficult for Shen Liang at all. He casually said a few New Year's greetings and invited everyone to watch "The Wandering Earth 2"...

"You won't see space elevators or the fall of a space station in other movies... I was shocked when I saw it for the first time! I hope everyone will support Chinese science fiction!"

After completing the promotion, Shen Liang said goodbye to the host in a friendly manner and went home...

As soon as I opened Weibo, all I saw was this picture of the audience:
His whole face shows that he has no desire to live!

Then there is #邓朝活活#…

The Spring Festival Gala program still occupied several hot searches...

The ratings foundation is right here!
Oh, Shen Liang went to his grandparents’ house, and his parents were there too - it’s New Year’s Eve, so the whole family must be together.

Everything is good, except for the urging of marriage...

In fact, this is normal. Agricultural civilization is good at stability and inheritance.

This is also reflected in the concept of continuing the family line in clan relations. In fact, there is an ideal range for childbearing age, which is generally recommended to be between 23 and 30 years old. Under the dual pressure of the concept of continuing the family line and the pressure of fertility, urging marriage is "inevitable."

However, their way of urging Shen Liang to get married is quite special - they are not worried that Shen Liang can’t find a girlfriend!

Instead, he told me, "Don't be too picky!" and "It's best not to look for someone in your circle."

Yes, Shen Liang’s reputation… I guess his family has heard of it…

Liang Ge could only nod his head and reply to the New Year greetings text messages...

By the way, when my grandfather heard that Shen Liang wanted to adapt "The Visitor on the Iceberg", he was very excited and told me a lot of stories about the original director Zhao Xinshui.

Zhao Xinshui was only 34 years old when he directed this film.

Two years later, Zhao Xinshui directed the movie "Express Train" again, pushing the use of film cameras to an unparalleled height.

If Zhao Xinshui continues to develop in this way, he will hopefully become another Xie Jin.

But what is strange is that after these two films reached an unattainable level, the quality of Zhao Xinshui's films plummeted.

During the WG, Zhao Xinshui directed the film "New Song of the Great Wall" in 1975. Due to the filming environment at the time, the film was mediocre, which is understandable.

However, in 1977, under the increasingly relaxed film environment, Zhao Xinshui shot an equally mediocre movie "Bear Tracks", which is quite incredible.

Afterwards, during the golden age of Chinese films in the 1980s when all creatures were competing for freedom, a series of films directed by Zhao Xinshui, such as "The Moment", "Poseidon" and "Moon in the Gobi Desert", failed to reproduce the glory he achieved when he was around 30 years old.

Grandpa suggested: "If you want to make a movie, you'd better read the original novel several times. We all agree that Zhao Xinshui took advantage of Mr. Bai Xin's original novel and songs... In fact, the movie was so-so..."

"…Even if I want to film it, I have to find a suitable director…and if it involves ethnic minorities…I dare not delete or modify the plot at will…"

"Then don't waste things!"

“…If I don’t do it, someone else will definitely do it, but they may not do it as well as I do!”

"Then wait until you finish the script, and I'll help you review it."

"Um…"

"Don't just focus on Changchun Film Studio. Beijing Film Studio also has many classic works that are worth remaking!"

"for example?"

"The Bao Family and Son is a very good book and can be rewritten. Nowadays, the trend of "pushing children to study" is popular, but in fact, there are also parents who think that sending their children to a prestigious middle school can change their fate..."

Shen Liang smiled and said, "It's useless if you think it's good. You don't represent the mainstream movie-watching crowd."

Grandpa was very angry: "I can't represent the audience?"

"I mean the mainstream audience..." Shen Liang quickly explained: "You haven't been to the cinema for a long time, right?"

"Who said that? I go to the movies with your grandma twice a month..."

“You go to the film archive to watch movies, and you only watch old movies… You really don’t belong to the mainstream movie-watching crowd!” “Today’s movies are not good…”

“What was the last movie you bought a ticket for?”

“…Feng Xiaogang’s movie…”

"Feng Xiaogang? Youth"

"No, it's earlier..." Grandpa thought for a moment, then said, "It's 1942..."

“…That was a movie from 2012…” Shen Liang suddenly remembered something: “No, that’s not right, The Battle at Lake Changjin, you also went to the cinema to watch it!”

“I didn’t buy a ticket for that…it’s a retirement benefit!”

Shen Liang was suspicious: "...Sir, you didn't go to the "Dreaming in the Entertainment Industry" expert symposium, did you?"

"I had something to do that day..."

“Thank goodness!”

Grandpa: "If I go, I will definitely tell the truth!"

"No, have you forgotten about "Country Love"?"

When "Country Love" came to BJ for a seminar, Zhao Benshan said at the beginning, "Now the country is vigorously developing the cultural industry. How can our Benshan Media Group grow and what is the way forward? I hope experts can give their opinions, with more criticism and less praise. I have a strong resistance and can accept criticism very well."

Then my grandfather and a group of experts thought they could speak freely. The first to open fire was Professor Zeng Qingrui of Communication University of China, criticizing it as pseudo-realism, saying that Zhao Benshan was confused by the flowers and applause brought by the ratings, and misled by irresponsible remarks and unprincipled flattery. Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely awkward. Almost everyone stood on the side of Professor Zeng Qingrui and pointed the finger at Zhao Benshan.

Grandpa naturally also stood with Professor Zeng Qingrui, who said, "Artists should pursue elegance and sublimity as their goal and realm!"

Zhao Benshan responded, "Why don't you write a script and shoot it yourself? If the ratings of the movie you shoot are higher than this, I will kneel down to you."

And 'I hate those so-called professors who are pretentious and think they are educated, but are actually misleading students! '

It made the scene very awkward...

From then on, the so-called seminar turned into a praise meeting!

……

In fact, Beijing Film Studio also has quite a few works!
In the early days of its establishment, Beijing Film Studio focused on shooting documentaries, and its feature films include "Taking Mount Hua by Strategy" and "Longxugou".

In 1956, after the establishment of the Central News Documentary Film Studio, the Beijing Film Studio was transformed into a professional studio for producing feature films.

Since then, the Beijing Film Studio has made bold explorations in film creation, and gradually formed an artistic style that mainly adapts literary classics and has national cultural traditions.

Beijing Film Studio has produced excellent films such as "Blessings", "The Shop of the Lin Family", "Song of Youth", "Storm", "Red Flag", "Eternal Life in the Flames", and "Early Spring in February". It has also adapted and produced traditional opera films such as "The Heroines of the Yang Family" and "The Wild Boar Forest".

After 1976, in addition to shooting films adapted from literary classics such as "The River Flows Through It", "The Death of a Poet", "Camel Xiangzi", "The Bao Family", "Cold Nights", and "Border Town", the Beijing Film Studio also produced a number of films reflecting real life: "Little Flower", "Look at This Family", "Sunset Street", "Good Women", "Acting Mayor", and "Charming Band".

"Bao's Father and Son" is pretty good!
Stancom hair oil.

This story is quite suitable for adaptation - it is essentially a story about a little Bao who can't read a book, and an old Bao who really wants his son to read and gives him whatever he wants...

Two adaptation ideas: The programmers in large companies who caught the trend in the early years did not have Beijing hukou, and wanted their children to stay in BJ so that they could go to a good school, so they gritted their teeth and sent their children to international schools. However, the tuition fees of international schools were hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, which made the couple stretched to the limit.

Fortunately, both husband and wife hold high positions, so they can still cope with it.

The child did not study well in school, so he could not take the college entrance examination in China, so he had to be sent to study in a preparatory course abroad. Unexpectedly, the child's performance became even worse abroad.

At this time, the Internet industry began to lay off employees in order to optimize its portfolio...

There is another type: the father works on a construction site, but he still sends his son to a fairly good private high school...

It has strong practical significance!

It's just... there's a high probability that it won't have much box office...

In comparison, everyone prefers to watch rich people pretending to be grandsons - "Catching Dolls"!
Unless... this role is played by Shen Teng...
