I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 825: Brother Liang doesn’t take every role

"Lily's Choice" is actually "Love, So Far"...

Starring Blake Lively…

This person is special!
In fact, many Hollywood stars are quite pretentious, uneducated, and like to meddle in other people's affairs, whether it's politics or real-life events...

The most typical example is Meryl Streep, whose reputation is so high—the leader of the Me too movement…

But her relationship with Harvey Weinstein...

But everyone knows it!

She claims to be a feminist leader, but...

In addition, there are many people with weird personalities and who act like big shots, and then they are packaged by the agency as actors with personality!

Therefore, Hollywood is the originator of character creation!

For example, Emma Roberts, what comes to mind when you mention her?
Long-legged beauty?

Her charming figure has attracted countless people...

Haha, this girl is only 158cm tall, where do her long legs come from?
What comes to mind when you think of Blake Lively?
A beautiful girl, a gossip girl...

Some people even gave him the nickname "Yan Ba"!
You rarely see references to their professional abilities...

Because it is almost zero!

Both Emma Roberts and Blake Lively are second-generation stars. Emma Roberts is the niece of the big-mouthed Julia Roberts, and Blake Lively's Ernie Lively is an actor and producer.

The first works of both of them were supported by their fathers.

And Maya Hawke, she is the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, so her first work is the mini-series "Little Women"!
In China, Little Women is not as well-known as Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Gone with the Wind and other works with women as the protagonists. But in the United States, it is a well-known masterpiece that has been passed down for a century.

Remember in "Friends", Rachel and Joey exchanged books, and the book Rachel recommended to Joey was "Little Women"...

A girl who is acting for the first time, she took the lead in "Little Women", and her second film is "Stranger Things"...

"Stranger Things", the best TV series in Netflix!

This is the power of our fathers!
Well, it’s also the power of marketing—he inherited his parents’ good looks!
Back to Blake Lively, this person is quite something. When "Love, So Far" was filmed, the film was originally supposed to be the leading project of director Justin, but Blake hired an additional screenwriter and asked her husband Ryan Reynolds to revise the script...

There are many conflicts between the two sides!

Shen Liang doesn't want to be part of such a crew.

No matter how much money you offer him, he won't do it!
……

There are no secrets in the crew. Shen Liang just rejected the invitation of "Lily's Choice" and the whole crew knows it!

Including Jackie Chan.

He was quite curious, so he came over and asked, "I heard that you turned down another invitation to a Hollywood movie?"

"Um…"

"Feeling inappropriate?"

"I didn't ask in detail, but the leading actress is quite difficult to deal with, and the producer doesn't have much power... I guess even if I go, I'll still be bullied..." Shen Liang shrugged: "I'd better not go!"

"Yes," Jackie Chan nodded, "It's a smart choice. You must remember that it is Hollywood that invites you, not you that need them!"

"Yes," Shen Liang nodded, and asked casually, "Brother, I heard that you are the director of the filming of Rush Hour?"

“I can’t say that…but the action scenes in Rush Hour were all designed by the Cheng family team!”

It is like this. Jackie Chan first became famous in Hollywood with Rumble in the Bronx, a thoroughly "Hong Kong-made film" with Hong Kong filmmakers as the core, from the investor Golden Harvest to the main creators on stage and behind the scenes. Then, Rumble in the Bronx sold 3239 million US dollars; after that, Police Story 3 Super Cop and Police Story 4 Simple Assignment sold 1627 million US dollars and 1531 million US dollars respectively...

After that, Jackie Chan's movies from a few years ago, "A Good Man", "Drunken Master 2", "Operation Condor Heroes" and even "Twin Dragons" were all specially released in North America!

So, in Rush Hour, Jackie Chan was invited...

"The American producer invited me with a check, so I have a say."

"I choose the producer, the director, the actors, and the script. They let me shoot whatever I want. On the set, the crew has to follow whatever the Cheng family says. In addition to the salary, I also want a share of the box office and the distribution rights in the Asia-Pacific region. During the filming, I also want pocket money in addition to the salary.

They invited me here, and I just want to put forward these conditions. This is how Hollywood is. As long as you are big enough, any request you make is valid. They don’t care about connections or qualifications, they only care about your box office data.”

"Not really. Nowadays, we are very politically correct. Black people are doing better than white people!"

"…I don't understand…" Jackie Chan waved his hands: "If you want to go to Hollywood, you must have the right to speak. You have to let them come to you with a check instead of you begging them!"

"Don't worry..." Shen Liang smiled: "I understand!"

“Do you want to go to Hollywood?”

"It's OK," Shen Liang pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "If there is a chance and a good role, I'd still like to give it a try. After all, Hollywood's distribution power is indeed greater than that of the mainland. However, I don't think my fans really want me to go to Hollywood!"

"why?"

“Sino-US relations are at a stage of all-out confrontation…”

"That's true..."

"And there aren't many projects worth mentioning in Hollywood...either superheroes or family first!"

After chatting for a while, the staff announced the start of filming. The two put on their makeup and continued filming!

……

Although Shen Liang did not continue the roadshow for "Her", the film was too popular.

Creating topics about relationships between men and women has indeed reaped the benefits of being a topic of conversation.

But if you gain the bonus of being a hot topic, it also means that you will be disliked by some other people!

Very normal thing.

The box office is high, so there are a lot of people criticizing it!

Oh, the reputation has dropped to 6.8 points on Douban - thanks to Shen Liang's strong request to delete the Easter eggs and the tearful plot...

He Fei was not given a perfect ending in another time and space!

There are still many discussions about Shen Liang...

Most of them praised Shen Liang for his good performance.

Including during roadshows, many audiences still mentioned He Fei, played by Shen Liang - there is no way, He Fei is the first protagonist of "Her" and occupies 95% of the screen, which is too conspicuous!
Chen Sicheng and several other actors must have praised it...

Even in an interview, he praised Shen Liang: "He is indeed a very dedicated actor. He used to have long hair, but for our movie, he cut his head bald!"

"And during filming, in order to perform to the best of my ability, I often didn't sleep for several days..."

'I think he is the kind of actor who has no fixed label. He is a top star, but he is relatively vague. I think vagueness is very important for an actor. A good actor should be like liquid, which can be put into different containers and form different shapes! '

'And he has a very strong producer's mindset, he thinks Rouba is suitable to play Chen Mai...'

"Next... Let's look at the script. Liang Ge doesn't take every role!"
