I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 97 Everyone knows? (12)

Shen Liang likes Wu Mengda very much...

Uncle Tat has excellent acting skills and is willing to teach his juniors...

In fact, Wu Mengda has filmed many dramas in mainland China, most of which are TV series.

As early as 97, he filmed "Kyoto Detective", and later there were "Family Harmony Brings Good Fortune", "Peach Blossom in Troubled Times", "The Twins", "Nine-Year-Old County Magistrate" and so on...

Worth mentioning is "A Happy Family" which was directed by Gu Rong and brought in a group of comedy stars, including Wu Mengda, Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan. In the play, Wu Mengda and Song Dandan play a couple...

By the way, in 2014, Wu Mengda starred in the TV version of "October Besieged City", in which he contributed god-like acting skills - he played a corrupt official with a very three-dimensional image. His eyes and tone of voice were full of information, precise, and just right. Especially the last part where he pretended to be crazy made people feel sad...

Some people may ask, why is it that despite Wu Mengda’s excellent acting skills, he cannot become a superstar?

Many people say it’s because of appearance.

It is said that some people are naturally suited to be the protagonist, while Ng Mang-tat is naturally suited to be the supporting role!

In Wang Jing's words: it is the upper and lower parts.

If Wu Mengda makes certain movies, he can be the protagonist.

Unfortunately, his appearance is not the kind that would be suitable for a protagonist in a wide range of categories.

So, he could only take it now.

Shen Liang discussed this issue with him and put forward a point of view: the time has passed.

Wu Mengda just missed the rise of clowns in Hong Kong in the early 1980s.

From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a group of famous movie stars became popular in Hong Kong movies, most of whom came from Cinema City: Eric Tsang, Teddy Robin, Sam Hui and his brothers, Raymond Wong, Karl Hui, etc.

There are also Sammo Hung, Patrick Tse, and Richard Ng.

These people were either short and ugly, or disabled and ugly, some even had horse faces, and some were bald. In short, each of them was ugly in their own unique way, but the audience at the time was very happy with it...

If you say that Wu Mengda’s looks mean he can only play supporting roles... then are those others good-looking?
Still no chance...

"I have studied drama," Wu Mengda disagreed: "According to the theory of male, female, clean, mo and chou, I can't play the role of male because of my appearance... I can play the role of clean..."

Jing roles are commonly known as Hualian roles, and they mostly play male characters with peculiar personalities, qualities or looks. They have a loud voice and a rough style.

Jingxing characters can be divided into different types according to their identity, character, and artistic and technical characteristics.

Zhengjing, commonly known as the big painted face; Fujing, the second painted face; Wujing, called Wuerhua.

But...it's still a supporting role, used to set off the protagonist!
"In theory, male and female roles are the most popular, but the competition is fierce, so things are rare and valuable. Talents with comprehensive functions are especially rare... Although I play a supporting role, my salary is very high, even higher than that of the average male lead!"

“…I feel like the Academy Awards are a bit sorry for you. Apart from anything else, your performances in “The King of Comedy” and “Shaolin Soccer” are enough to win any award!”

Wu Mengda smiled and shook his head: "Alas, winning an award depends on luck... Xingzai has only won an award once despite working so hard..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Liang immediately asked back, "Why didn't Kung Fu give him the Best Actor award?"

"…They have their own considerations, but Xingzai has indeed offended many people… Moreover, it is very difficult to win awards in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. It depends on luck, connections, and audience popularity, but not on strength. Strength is placed at the end…"

“…How shameless!”

Wu Mengda has let it go: "All awards are about circles. You have to be a member of the circle first, and then you can talk about winning awards..."

"I'll ask them to help you apply for the Best Supporting Actor award..."

“An award from the Mainland?”

"Yes, The Wandering Earth is mainly invested by China Film Group, so it won't be a problem for it to be nominated for the Golden Rooster Awards!"

“…I don’t even know when it will be released!”

“…I will definitely go…”

……

Wu Mengda's scenes have been almost finished, so he came back to shoot more scenes...

In the beginning of the reshoot, Liu Peiqiang made arrangements for his final arrangements.

When the candidates for the right to reside in the underground city were drawn, Han Ziang, Han Duoduo and Liu Qi all failed to win the lottery, only Liu Peiqiang won. This means that once the doomsday officially arrives, Liu Peiqiang will lose three relatives at the same time.

So, he gave his nameplate to Han Ziang...

Let Han Ziang accompany Liu Qi into the dungeon as a guardian! Then Han Duoduo was abandoned.

The beginning part explains the origin of this story...

"After I leave, you will be Liu Qi's sole guardian. This is the only way for both you and Liu Qi to survive..."

Wu Mengda had tears in his eyes: "...Okay, stop talking!"

Wu Jing also whispered: "Dad, I'm sorry..."

Wang Zhi next to him looked down at Liu Qi...

"Ka, good, this part is over!"

Oh, the part where the beach family said goodbye, Liu Peiqiang told Han Ziang that he was going to the Navigator, and Han Ziang, as the guardian, took the household registration to the underground city...

The original plan was for Wang Zhi to tell his father in person that his illness would not last long and he would not take up the quota.

But...during the actual shooting, Guo Fan felt that it was unnecessary!

Just let her sit there in her hospital gown, without any lines, the situation is clear...

Wang Zhi had no complaints—it was just a guest appearance after all!

However, "The Wandering Earth 2" still found Wang Zhi, which fully proves that the "The Wandering Earth" team is humane...

Otherwise, they could have replaced Wang Zhi with a more popular actress.

"The Wandering Earth" opened the door to Chinese science fiction movies and became a national hit! It went down in film history and eventually became the second-highest-grossing film in history!
Countless honors are coming!

When The Wandering Earth 2 was being prepared, it was no longer a small ball. Both Andy Lau and Li Xuejian came...

You can definitely find a bigger star to play Han Duoduo!
In the first part of "Like a Flowing River", the adult Liang Sishen was originally cast by Jin Chen - although there was only one photo, but in the second part, it was directly replaced by Yang Erfei...

However, The Wandering Earth 2 continued to find Wang Zhi...

And the portion is generous.

In short, Wang Zhi finished filming that scene.

Producer Gong Geer took out the bouquet that he had prepared in advance and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Wang Zhi on finishing the filming... Thank you Mr. Wang for coming to help."

"…I'm fine anyway…"

Shen Liang interrupted: "I actually want to see Teacher Wang beating up Brother Jing!"

"what?"

"Everyone knows that Brother Jing is good at fighting. If his wife is better at fighting than him, there will definitely be a lot of people interested..."

Guo Fan smiled: "...We'll talk about this later, thank you Teacher Wang..."

"Haha, I'm leaving!"

Wang Zhi came quickly and left even faster...

I didn’t even eat the crew lunch!

Guo Fan watched her get into the car, then asked Shen Liang: "I heard from Rao Xiaozhi that you are competing for a role?"

Shen Liang was speechless: "Director Rao speaks so fast!"

"…Tell us the situation and we can help you with some reference."

Wu Jing also came over: "What's the matter?"

Guo Fan explained: "Oh, Xiao Shen saw a TV series last time and wanted to play the leading actor, but the competition is very fierce... I heard that there are many top-tier stars who are interested!"

Wu Jing immediately grabbed Shen Liang and said, "Want to get the role? Come on, tell me!"

Just as Shen Liang was about to speak, Wu Mengda, Li Guangjie, and Yang Haoyu also came over...

Guo Fan immediately waved his hand to signal them to sit down: "You came just in time, help Xiao Shen with some advice..."

"Staff? What happened to Xiao Shen?"
