I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 142 Topics of Interest (33)

In fact, the biggest pressure for unknown actors is money and confusion about their future!

No drama means no income.

How can you support yourself without an income?
Especially in a high-consumption place like BJ!

The profession of an actor is very scary. It doesn't mean you can have food to eat if you just persevere.

The crew is very realistic, the treatment of the leading actors and extras is very different...

In any industry related to art, hard work and diligence cannot guarantee success.

However, after "The Map of the River", Xin Zhilei is no longer unpopular, or she is just not popular in the eyes of the audience. In the circle or in the eyes of producers and directors, she is popular. The definition of popularity is this: recognized by most directors and producers, and they are willing to actively cooperate with her.

Good EQ, decent acting skills...

At this stage, there is actually no financial pressure. The pay for a play can be as high as several million or as low as hundreds of thousands.

The main source of income is film remuneration...

The real meaning of red is red in the eyes of the audience.

This requires luck!

Xin Zhilei had opportunities before. She starred in Ding Hei's "The Moon Embracing the Stars", and also starred in the TV series "Hotelier" produced by Tang Jili and directed by Jiang Jiajun...

But none of the dramas became popular.

……

"Isn't Lao Xue going to shoot a web drama called "Mars Intelligence Agency"? Do you have a script?"

The story of the unknown period has been told for the most part, Wang Han introduced the process, and then Xue Zhiqian talked about the online drama "Mars Intelligence Agency"...

Xue Zhiqian really has to thank "Mars"...

It can be regarded as a mutual achievement. "Mars Intelligence Agency" is also becoming more and more popular thanks to Xue Zhiqian...

So, Xue Zhiqian wrote the theme song of "Mars Intelligence Agency" "The Martians Have Been Here" and also said that he wanted to make a web drama of "Mars Intelligence Agency"...

"The script is still being collected..." Xue Zhiqian continued, and the topic shifted to filming...

A group of people acted out some so-called classic scenes together, and then Shen Mengchen talked about the filming of the emotional scenes...

Mainly talking about the kissing scenes.

"Is there a kissing scene in Shen Liang's film "Time Travelers"?"

"There is one..." Shen Liang nodded: "Actually, I didn't want a kissing scene, but the director insisted on having one, saying that if we didn't kiss, we would be sorry to the audience..."

Yang Di was amused: "Tell me more about it!"

Shen Mengchen asked: "Was it difficult to shoot?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "It's not difficult, because the plot setting made me stand there in a daze and didn't react..."

"Kissed by force?"

"Yes... and Sister Jing Tian came over to kiss me while crying," Shen Liang smiled bitterly, "I really felt the snot flowing into my mouth... and I couldn't wipe it off, I had to continue speaking the lines..."

Yang Di frowned instantly: "That's it? Isn't it just living together? There's no other drama?"

"No, ours is a light romantic comedy... with a sci-fi setting. I graduated from college in 1999, and she was born in 2018..."

"Traveling through each other?"

"No, it's just that the houses we rented are connected... Anyway, it's a very interesting story. It will be released on May 520 next year. I hope everyone will support it..." At this point, Shen Liang suddenly realized: "Brother Di, didn't you go to make a cameo appearance?"

"I was there to make a cameo appearance...but it was Director Xu Zheng who hosted me that day, and he even said that you and Jing Tian were on a date!"

As soon as Yang Di said this, the scene immediately became lively...

"Dating?"

"It's not a date, it's about finding the feeling... Because Sister Jing Tian and I are both very busy, and our relationship... is not that close. If we just play a couple, there won't be any ambiguous feelings... The director said no, and gave us one day..."

Shen Mengchen chuckled: "Any results?"

"It's okay. We talked about a lot of things and at least got to know each other a little bit... Before, I had some respect for her, you know?"

"Respect? Not really?"

"Think about the people they work with, and then look at me? I have to respect them!" Xue Zhiqian interrupted: "Shen Liang, we are going to make "Mars Intelligence Agency", will you join?"

Shen Liang didn't even think about it and answered directly: "Of course I will join..."

Anyway, this drama was not made...

……

In fact, after recording that episode of collective quarreling, Shen Liang felt that "Mars Intelligence Agency" was becoming less and less interesting...

There are fewer "interesting" things, and the show relies more on showing off some clichés from variety shows to keep up the running time.

People don’t dare to discuss the real hot news…

The regulation of "Mars" is very strict.

There are variety shows with themed chats, but Shen Liang is not interested in many of the topics, which leads to his low enthusiasm!
During dinner time, Yang Di couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel like you've been in a slump these past two episodes?"

“…I am not interested in your proposals, or I don’t have relevant experience…”

"You don't have any experience in filming?"

"Yes, but there are very few emotional scenes, and I don't like to talk about these on the show... I'm a man, and when I'm filming kissing scenes, I naturally feel like I'm the one taking advantage... Talking about these things is quite greasy!"

Yang Di nodded: "Okay, then I'll make a proposal later... you help me support it!"

"What theme?"

“About bullying…”

"School bullying?"

"Correct!"

Shen Liang thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I have something to talk about this."

School bullying... this topic is always a hot topic!

Because the essence of this world is still the law of the jungle, and humans are essentially mammals. There is a subconscious hierarchy among mammals, and where there is hierarchy, there is struggle.

In fact, as long as it is a living thing, there will be competition, an evil side, and a selfish side.

As humans gradually mature, they will stop committing crimes openly and oppressing others, especially after they learn the law and receive education. Even so, there are still a large number of crimes in society.

Yang Di talked about this and gave an example: "When I was in primary school, there was a girl in my class who came from the countryside and her grades were not very good."

"How do you do it?"

"I rushed over and said, 'If you hit me again, I will tell the teacher!' But it had little effect. However, they would always shout my name, 'Yang Di, save me!'..."

"and after?"

"Later, she transferred to another school..."

Xin Zhilei also talked about the school bullying she had seen...

When she was in school, Young and Dangerous had just entered the mainland and school bullying was very serious!
"That's right," Yang Di nodded. "We used to have 5 dragons and 2 phoenixes, but later we named it 6 dragons and 3 phoenixes. Anyway, it was based on the number of people and genders. This provided effective evidence for the police to catch the organization in one fell swoop!"

"Ha ha…"

“I heard it’s not as popular as it used to be!”

Shen Liang shook his head: "Not really, there will always be such things as sand sculptures! When I was in high school, there were..."

"Really?"

"Well... there is a classmate in our class who comes from a poor family and is a bit introverted, but studies very hard. Every time we eat in the cafeteria, we will give him a portion of meat... He is very grateful to us... One time during evening self-study, he went out to the toilet and was obviously bullied!
It was our physics teacher who watched us study that day. His face was red with anger... He ran to the principal. After we asked him the reason, the whole class went downstairs and beat the three little yellow-haired boys who bullied him... The principal, our class teacher, and their class teacher tried to stop them, saying, "Don't sacrifice your life for a few scumbags!"... We couldn't stop them at all. We were all so angry!"

"and after?"

"Then the police came... the parents of the three yellow-haired boys also came, and they even wanted to sue us. Our school is considered the best high school in the district, and the classmates all have some connections... The matter was left unresolved, but the three yellow-haired boys were directly expelled from school, and my classmate was admitted to the University of Political Science and Law..."

After a pause, Shen Liang said, "Kindness should be sharp. If someone really bullies you, go tell the teacher. If the teacher doesn't care and asks you, 'Why does he bully you but not others?', then call the police! If the police don't care, call the police several times..."

"is that useful?"

"It will definitely work. If the police don't care, then go to the procuratorate... and make a big fuss!"
