I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 833 On the Set (23)

There is another surprising thing about "Shushan" - it brought out a bunch of newcomers in one go.

Of course, she is not a newcomer. Liu Meitong, who plays Li Yingqiong, previously played Zhan Doudou in "Joy of Life", the young emperor of Northern Qi.

Chen Haoyu previously starred in "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You".

Including a bunch of male actors, some of them have also appeared in web dramas.

But none of them can compare to "Shushan"...

The recognition and cognition that a phenomenal movie brings to the audience exceeds the imagination of the actors themselves!
"Shushan" used fifteen actors in their twenties at once...

In fact, what the producers of "Shushan" are most worried about is not the production of a sequel, but the loss of reputation of the actors.

Once an actor fails, the entire play has to be replaced...

This is what "Celebrating More Than Years" is like...

Zhang Haowei was exposed for tax evasion and organizing the sale of silver. This is really unexpected!

He organized the sale of silver… Others secretly prostituted in warehouses, but he directly organized it and opened a brothel…

No, he gets the courage to do this illegally while earning a high salary in China. I really don’t know where he gets the courage from.

"Don't worry, everyone. I have some experience in being a celebrity. Small wins rely on strength, big wins rely on virtue. Also, I don't participate in most gatherings in the circle. You see, I will broadcast live when I come back..."

"As for the actors in the crew, we all signed a moral clause..."

After thinking for a while, Shen Liang added: "I know everyone says that the view of the entertainment industry is very bad. In the past few years, domestic entertainment has frequently been exposed. The artists involved include top-tier and mediocre artists.

The ecology of the domestic entertainment industry is shown to passers-by: from unknown 18th-tier celebrities to the top stars in the entertainment industry, none of them are clean.

Many celebrities are good-looking and rich, and are naturally popular with the opposite sex; but they don’t learn much, and only pursue fame and fortune, and their moral standards are relatively low. I have seen many people say that the domestic entertainment industry is very similar to the line in "Dream of Red Mansions" 'I see that in your Jia Mansion, only the two stone lions at the door are clean! '... In fact, it is not that exaggerated. I admit that there are many temptations... But I really think... It is not that terrible. It is not difficult to keep oneself clean and abide by the law!
"…I am a relative of a celebrity, who dares to mess with me?"

"Besides, I became famous too quickly. In 2019, three movies directly became top-tier movies... Even if they wanted to mess with me, they couldn't!"

"Okay, that's all..."

……

I'm getting off topic again...

But there is no way, in "Joy of Life 2", Shen Liang is going to intervene in the cast and replace Zhang Haowei...

By the way, Han Jiunuo was saved.

Too absurd - the drama Joy of Life begins with the storyline of "the one who died was just a guard", but if it is attacked for "the one who was replaced was just a supporting role"...

He really has two different faces on and off the stage!
The "Celebrating More Than Years" was unexpectedly a huge success despite being completely unpopular. This proved that if the male IP is well adapted, it can be a big hit for the general public, giving confidence to many investors and producers...

"Joy of Life" has a Douban score of 8.1, with an average of over 1.5 million views per episode, and ranks sixth on Tencent Video Platform!

All the actors of "Joy of Life 2" have returned. So many well-known actors from the "Golden Supporting Actor Group" have no shortage of leading roles, at least second male and second female roles. The only way for them to all return and play supporting roles with a low ranking and few lines is in a sequel to a popular IP like "Joy of Life".

At the same time, a group of new well-known actors "lowered their own prices" and played guest roles in the drama: Mao Xiaotong, Wang Churan, Yu Feihong, Wang Xiaochen, Fu Xinbo, Sui Junbo...

However, other stars are the "icing on the cake", and the audience is of course happy to see it, just like Yuan Quan who made a cameo appearance as "Professor Ye" for a few minutes in "Joy of Life 1".

The original Jin Chen was replaced by "Ye Ling'er" just for this role that had a lot more screen time in the second part. It was purely a case of usurping the throne...

You have no shortage of roles to play, so why bother?

and…

The environment is changing. When Joy of Life was popular, everyone was excited to discuss Fan Xian’s six fathers... But when Joy of Life 2 was released...

Especially episode 7...

Fan Sizhe, the son of the Minister of Revenue, did something wrong and fled abroad alone to continue his life of luxury and business. Did that make Fan Jian proud? Was he not disappointed? Did he gain his father's approval?

Fan Xian talks about so-called equality...

Then he said: "Sometimes it only takes a moment for a man to grow up"!
Brother, this is not growing up, this is the second generation of an official, Fan Sizhe, opening a brothel, killing people and then absconding overnight!
Ignorance is not a crime?
Fan Sizhe, in the first season, he was able to save costs and lower the price of paper when opening a bookstore. He could describe all the links of a Dream of Red Mansions from the moment he wrote it to the moment it was published to the moment it was sold. In particular, his cost estimates were almost accurate, and he could tell the profits with astonishing accuracy down to the single digit. Such a boss who had a Grandet-like control over the entire situation, opened a Baoyue Tower in the second season, and he only cared about the accounts and ignored other things?
But Shen Liang doesn't have the time or energy to worry about "Celebrating Yu Nian 2"...

He has too many projects on his hands!
Most importantly, "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" is not that important to him...

It doesn’t really matter whether I act or not.

……

The crew, Shen Liang, Cao Dun and photographer Jing Chong discuss the ending of Lu Shisi...

According to the script, Lu Shisi did not choose to escape from Qiuci alone, but returned to the battlefield...

As for the ending, it must be death in battle!
Jing Chong first expressed his own opinion: "...I think we should not shoot the scenes of death in battle, it is too cruel..."

Shen Liang nodded: "I also think it's best to do this, add a close-up, then the camera goes black, and there's a flashback, 'Boss, who do you think is farther away from us, Chang'an or the sun?' 'Nonsense, it must be the sun...'

'How to say? '

"We are all from Chang'an. Have you ever heard of anyone who came from the sun?"

"Why then... I can see the sun but not Chang'an?"

Cao Dun thought for a moment and said, "...Okay, add another subtitle with the background of the fall of Qiuci..."

"If you want, you can add a prologue to 'Heroes of Dunhuang' as an Easter egg!"

Cao Dun was surprised: "Can we shoot now?"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "It's not a big problem. I've asked for the opinions of the higher-ups. Now we emphasize the confidence of a great power. As long as it's historical facts, it can be filmed!"

Cao Dun: "As long as it's historical fact?"

Shen Liang quickly added: "...You can't just pick the dark side of our history to film... The story of the Guiyi Army in "Heroes of Dunhuang" is very positive...so, you can film it!"

"Let's do it!"

Cao Dun felt a little disappointed, but he was already very satisfied that "Heroes of Dunhuang" could be filmed...

Then prepare for the shoot...

The executive producer came over, looking a little embarrassed. Shen Liang glanced at him and said, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"...Brother Liang, do you have any problem with Wu Ershan?"

Shen Liang frowned: "...I have no opinion...Who said anything?"

"The distributor called me and asked me to be gentle with my words... After all, this is a multi-billion dollar production!"

"Let them apologize first. Damn it. When they criticized our "Shushan", they didn't show any mercy..."

"Okay, I'll contact them right away!"

"He also apologized to the Chinese special effects company and said that the Chinese special effects company could not meet his requirements... This is pure nonsense!"
