Chapter 496 Continued Touring (44)

Many people say that sketch comedy and crosstalk actors are not suitable for acting in movies!
The personal brand is too strong...

Actually, in the 1990s, most crosstalk performers were playing comedic or villainous roles, and there were many crosstalk performers in TV dramas...

A typical example is Liu Wei in "Emperor Taizong of Tang". Can you imagine him as a crosstalk actor?
Including Zhou Wei, who played Pinggu Yidianhong in "My Own Swordsman";
The villain Diao Guangdou in "The Great Song Dynasty Forensic Examiner" was played by Guo Da!

Ultimately, it's not that sketch comedy actors or crosstalk performers lack acting skills; it's that a certain group of people in a certain company genuinely lack acting skills…

Okay, it's Guo Degang!

Guo Degang, and his group of apprentices who sold their goods cheaply.

The performance had absolutely no rhythm.

He can only let go but not rein it in; it's very noisy to watch, and his acting skills are on par with those of Zhang Dada, Bao Beier, and Du Haitao.

As for Shen Teng…

He may not seem to have much acting skill, but his personal charisma and image are enough to draw the audience into the story…

Many people say he can only act in comedies.

Shen Teng was quite bothered by this for a while…

He also starred in "The Fatal Encounter"—a film directed by Wang Xueqi's son, originally titled "In Broad Daylight"...

Maybe he wants to win an award to prove himself...

However, he eventually stopped caring!

What's it to you if I'm just in your comfort zone?
As for awards... I don't care at all. Whether it's the Golden Rooster Awards or the Hundred Flowers Awards, I won't even show up!
This is similar to Shen Yan's...

The Golden Rooster Awards have announced their nominations for this year, and "American Dreams in China" has garnered a slew of nominations: Best Feature Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best New Director, Best Editing, Best Original Score... Oh, and Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Tong Dawei are all nominated for Best Actor...

Shen Yan wasn't planning to go to the scene...

It's not disrespect...

Okay, I just don't like it!

……

The summer movie season continues, and "The Rise of Fame" is still earning over 1800 million yuan per day in its third week of release...

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the release of "Mr. Go" this week should be able to stop "Fame and Fortune" from achieving its third consecutive year at number one!
Oh, *Mr. Go* is a Chinese-South Korean co-production, directed by Kim Yong-hwa, who previously directed *200 Pounds Beauty* and *Take Off*, both of which attracted over 5 million viewers. He belongs to the backbone of South Korea's mid-generation of commercial directors…

Mr. Go is a collaboration with Huayi Brothers.

This movie is absolutely terrible…

Aside from the lackluster special effects, the main plot revolves around baseball!

The plot is about a gorilla playing baseball...

What's so interesting about this thing?

Child supply film?
I don't understand why Huayi Brothers would spend $2000 million to make a movie like this...

Good news for Shen Yan's "Making a Name for Oneself"...

By the way, after "Mr. Go," Kim Yong-hwa returned to South Korea and created the "Along with the Gods" series, "Mogadishu," and the sci-fi film "Moon"...

The movie "Moon" tells the story of how Koreans overcome numerous difficulties and bravely explore space...

But it's riddled with flaws!
They're just making things up without any scientific common sense; it's so embarrassing it makes you want to scratch your feet.

Furthermore, it's quite pitiful that even if South Korea fantasizes about landing on the moon, if something goes wrong, they'll have to rely on NASA for rescue—something they wouldn't even dare to dream of...

Ahem, back to reality.

During this period, another film, *Man of Tai Chi*, was released, directed by Keanu Reeves, but ultimately its box office revenue did not reach 3000 million…

"Fame and Fortune" is set to secure its third consecutive box office crown!

……

"You'll need to undergo a month of weight training first... Let me tell you, our spacesuits are very heavy. Even though we've tried to reduce the weight as much as possible, they still weigh thirty pounds!"

"Three or four jin?"

"Thirty jin!"

Shen Yan and Shen Teng arrived in Xiangshan... preparing to arrange for him to join the crew for a trial run...

The assistant director of "The Martian" is Guo Fan, who was responsible for the pre-production preparations and actor training...

The plot is very simple.

Shen Teng plays a character named Shen Fei. He and five other astronauts encounter a giant storm on Mars, forcing them to end their outer space journey prematurely. Because they are mistakenly believed to be unable to survive, they are left behind on Mars and become a space Robinson Crusoe.

Upon regaining consciousness, Dafei discovers that he is far from his home planet Earth and that there is only enough food for one month.

Fortunately, he was naturally humorous and optimistic, and also a botany expert, so he decided to survive on his own until the next Mars mission, even though that would take four years.

He calculated how to make the most of his time on this arid planet and began growing potatoes using homemade fertilizer, making the most of all the materials at hand.

On Earth, after the public mourned Dafei's tragic death, a sharp-eyed space agency technician noticed signs of movement on the Martian surface while monitoring, suspecting that Dafei might still be alive.

After the two sides re-established contact, the Mars rescue mission was launched...

Cast: The five astronauts were cast as Guo Jingfei, Lei Jiayin, Li Guangjie, and Yang Haoyu, and the team leader was Qin Hailu…

On the space agency's side, the director invited Li Xuejian, and Chen Baoguo and Zhang Guoli also made cameo appearances...

The space agency spokesperson contacted Yu and Wei.

Filming began on August 25th—Shen Yan's tour lasted until August 20th…

You can't possibly tour and film at the same time, can you?

We'll definitely have to wait until the tour is over...

After Shen Teng arrived in Xiangshan, especially after joining the filming of "The Martian" and visiting the nearly completed Mars base, he was completely stunned...

Absolutely shocking...

This base is so futuristic!

Looking at it from left to right, Shen Teng couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap, you...you guys actually built this thing?"

"...It definitely needs to be built. This is your control room, and next door is where the potatoes are grown..."

"You're not really going to make me plant potatoes, are you?"

Shen Yan said casually, "We'll definitely film the process... but the potato ripening part takes a bit long, so we specifically chose several plots of land. You can just perform on the ground!"

After chatting for a while, Guo Fan arrived...

After introducing themselves, the group walked out of the studio. Shen Teng pointed to the huge studio next to them and asked, "...What's this?"

Guo Fan: "Space capsule!"

"Space capsule?"

"...the capsules of the other five Mars astronauts..."

"...Is this scene only a little bit?"

“It’s alright,” Shen Yan interjected, “After filming ‘The Martian,’ we still have to film ‘The Wandering Earth,’ ‘Landing on the Moon’…we can even use the spacecraft…”

"Holy crap... how much did these two things cost?"

"Less than 500 million...it was mainly the money paid by the Xiangshan Film Studio..."

Shen Teng gave a thumbs up…

Shen Yan suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way, if any directors from Mahua FunAge want to learn from us, they can come over!"

"Should we arrange for them to join the crew? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

“What’s the trouble? They all have stage experience…” Shen Yan glanced at Guo Fan, who immediately understood and said, “Right, we can all learn together… just think of them as having a few more… no, a few more apprentices, apprentices…”

Shen Teng, without a second thought, immediately nodded: "I'll contact them right away!"

"No rush... I'm leaving tomorrow, you can contact me again then!"

"Huh? We're not filming now?"

"What kind of filming is this? The photography team isn't even familiar with the equipment yet... Besides, I still have a tour to continue!"
