I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 89 "Seaweed Dance" first release (44)

Shen Liang has arrived in Changsha...

His mental state is just okay. Last night, the shooting lasted until 4am. Shen Liang slept for about three hours before being woken up by Chen Jiadong...

Depart for the airport.

At this stage, "Mars Intelligence Agency" is the only variety show that allows him to maintain exposure.

Filming takes a while. If you’re lucky, it takes half a year from filming to release…

I was just unlucky and it went wrong...

Chen Jiadong hopes that Shen Liang will continue to maintain sufficient exposure - after Lu Han officially announced his girlfriend, fans were very dissatisfied, and if fans were dissatisfied, the brand he endorsed would naturally be dissatisfied as well.

The expired endorsement contracts will definitely not be renewed, and the brands that are interested in him will turn to other artists...

So, Lu Han fell down and other artists had their fill!

Of course, it hasn’t fallen at this stage, it’s just that fans are dissatisfied. It also depends on the response of the work.

But according to Chen Jiadong's judgment, the work is not expected to be that good, so he needs to make preparations first.

The problem is that Shen Liang is currently only taking on film and television drama shoots, and the schedule is uncertain...

Expecting your work to gain exposure?
Therefore, "Mars Intelligence Agency" is very important and you cannot miss any episode!

In the car, I talked to Shen Liang about the guests of this episode of "Mars"...

Shen Liang was speechless: "Why are there another guest?"

“…I want to come over and promote it!”

"Who?"

“…Zhou Dongyu!”

"…She came to Mars? What for?"

"To promote "Nothing Better Than You"..."

"Oh…"

Well, Youku exclusively broadcasts "Nothing Better Than You"...

"'Mars' is a fast-paced indoor language variety show. I don't think she will get many scenes!"

Well, it was pretty much as Shen Liang predicted. Apart from Zhou Dongyu’s self-introduction at the beginning, there were no fans…

I said "I am Zhou Dongyu", and then a group of people came up to praise me...

No one paid any attention to her after that!
Fast-paced language variety shows need to have gags and stories...

Even if someone is taking care of you, it won’t work if you talk too calmly!
In "Mars", you have to let go, and the jokes have to be well prepared and eye-catching, otherwise they will be cut out in post-production.

Wang Han couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Zhou Dongyu was the Golden Horse Film Queen after all, and the first post-90s actress, so he Cue Shen Liang: "Shen Liang is filming recently. If you have any troubles in filming, you can ask Dongyu for advice!"

Shen Liang was stunned for a moment: "...Me?"

Yang Di interjected: "He feels like a fish in water in the crew. I heard that Li Guangjie introduced a play to him!"

Zhou Dongyu asked: "Really?"

"Well, Uncle Li went to audition for a play. The behind-the-scenes team of that play is top-notch in the industry, so he took me with him..."

"What drama?"

"Director Kong Sheng and Huang Wei's "The Eastward Flowing River"... Teacher An Nai's original work... Teacher An Nai wrote "Ode to Joy"..."

After this explanation, most people in the audience knew...

"So you were chosen?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "No, I want to play the male lead Song Yunhui, but this role has been chosen by Teacher Wang Kai... However, the producer teacher recommended me to another play called "Do You Know? Do You Know? It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin"..."

Wang Han asked, "Which one was chosen?"

"Yes, I've been selected... I'll play the second male lead, and the filming will start in January next year..."

Qian Feng was filled with indignation: "You play the second male lead? Then who is the first male lead?"

"That's right, you are so popular, why do you play the second male lead? Tell me, who is the first male lead!"

"Teacher Feng Shaofeng!"

"...Teacher Feng..."

Yang Di deliberately asked, "What do you want to say?"

Qian Feng was embarrassed: "Teacher Feng can indeed play the leading male role... Who is the leading female role?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "I don't know... I heard them say it seemed to be Zhao Liying..."

Zhou Dongyu looked at Shen Liang in surprise: "You are so amazing. Your first TV series is cooperating with Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng?" Shen Liang said modestly: "I can't compare with you. Your first drama was "Under the Hawthorn Tree"... and you worked with the best director in China!"

"I'm lucky..."

"No, you are a natural actor. Even if you doubt yourself, you can't doubt Director Zhang's vision, right?"

Zhou Dongyu is enjoying himself...

In the entire first half, Zhou Dongyu only contributed this one laugh...

Again, the pace of "Mars" is too fast, and it depends on whether the actors can adapt to it...

……

"What happened to Shen Liang today?"

“…I’m fine!”

"What's so good about it? I don't think you've ever told a story on your own initiative!"

During dinner time, Shen Mengchen was dissatisfied with Shen Liang's performance in the first half...

Well, Shen Liang is indeed a bit too restrained...

He was a little worried that he might be too much and give Zhou Dongyu the wrong impression...

Liu Haoran lost all his youthfulness after being sucked by her and turned into a greasy uncle in seconds!
This is amazing…

Yang Di also spoke up: "You are indeed a little cold and lonely..."

Shen Liang chuckled: "I'm just worried that if I talk, all the cameras will be on me!"

"That's your skill..."

"If you have the guts, grab all the shots..."

"Okay, I'll go all out later!" Shen Liang looked at the director and said, "Brother Ming, is there a small theater show this time?"

"No... do you want to sing?"

Shen Liang did not answer, but asked Yang Di: "When will our episode be broadcast?"

"Next month on the 2nd...what's going on?"

"That's fine. I have a new song that will be released on the 1st of next month..."

Director Hu Ming hesitated: "New song?"

“…Don’t worry, this song will definitely go viral!”

"Can I listen to it for a moment?"

"sure…"

Hu Ming directly turned on the speaker, and the whole room was filled with movement and tapping. Then, the song "Like a seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, swaying with the waves, seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, dancing in the waves" began.

"…How about it?"

Hu Ming thought about it, and then said: "This... is too brainwashing..."

"It's a viral brainwashing song... The director of The Wandering Earth told me that the characters in the movie would listen to a brainwashing song, and he wanted to choose "Learn to Meow"... I was very upset, so I told him that I could write it... and then I wrote this song!"

“…Meow like a cat?”

"Yes, the one that says 'Let's meow together, meow meow meow'. I hate that song!"

Yang Di laughed: "…I heard that Zhou Jielun's fans requested to sing 'Learn to Meow' at his concert!"

Shen Liang nodded, and then said: "Zhou Jielun is middle-aged now, and his temper has become much more restrained... He used to have a very bad temper. I remember someone questioned his plagiarism online, and he directly used his knees and elbows to write songs and slap those netizens in the face during the concert..."

“Writing songs on your knees?”

“…Don’t you know?”

Shen Liang searched for the key words of Zhou Jielun writing songs on his knees, and then found the video: "Look..."

"…You like Zhou Jielun very much?"

"Who else can I like besides Zhou Jie Lun?"

"…Shen Liang, what are your plans for Seaweed Dance?"

“…Brother Di, Brother Liu Wei, please dance with me!”

“You still have choreography?”

Shen Liang stood up: "It's very simple, just follow the beat and strike a few poses... Seaweed Dance... It has the word 'dance' in it, which means it's a dance song!"

After a pause, Shen Liang added: "In fact, few people will learn this kind of song specifically. They just use it to liven up the atmosphere or for entertainment, such as annual meetings and team building, and dance on stage..."
