I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 20 A Bit Boring First Half
Shen Liang didn't care at all and started to complain about Hua Chenyu in front of Yang Di...

Yang Di is a very sensible person. He knows what to say and what not to say...at least he has never revealed any earth-shattering news.

As the two were about to enter the venue, Yang Di asked, "Have you been recording songs this week?"

"Well, I took part in a commercial performance and took on a play..."

"Take a role? You want to become an actor?"

"No, this is an unplanned job..." Shen Liang sighed: "It will probably take several months to shoot!"

"…What kind of drama is it? A movie or a TV series?"

"The movie is called The Wandering Earth..."

Yang Di obviously hadn't heard of this play, but that didn't stop him from continuing the conversation: "Are you the male lead?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes..."

"Wow, your first acting role is as the leading actor?"

"And the investment is over 100 million!"

"Then your resources are quite impressive!"

"…Hehe, it's a science fiction movie. The main reason I was able to play the leading actor is because the previously selected leading actor ran away, and I don't want any money…"

"No money? Then what do you want?"

"I like it, and the production team and director team are all very good. They are serious about making movies..."

"When will the movie be released? I'll go and support it then!"

"It's hard to say..." Shen Liang shook his head: "I haven't joined the group yet... I will definitely tell you when there is news..."

The two were chatting when they ran into Liu Wei, Xue Zhiqian and Zhu Zhen...

Well, there are quite a lot of guests this time. In addition to the regular guests such as Zhang Yu, Shen Mengchen, Qian Feng, Tian Yuan, Yang Di, and Liu Wei, there are also Zhu Zhen and Xue Zhiqian...

Including Shen Liang, eight people!

After a brief greeting, several people entered the venue...

……

Xue Zhiqian’s variety show style can be summed up as being funny!

This is also a kind of talent. There are so many singers, but few can be funny...

There are even fewer people who can let go of their status and have no image burden!
It is obvious that Xue Zhiqian is a senior player in this field and has won the reputation of "Xue in the South and Zhang in the North".

But Xue Zhiqian always reveals: What I really want to do is music, what I love most is music, and everything else is just accidental, to support music.

Do you really love music that much?
It’s been more than ten years, why are my guitar skills still so bad?

When I sang "Anhe Bridge" to my ex-wife, I played the guitar so badly...

Judging from the results, his basic skills in playing musical instruments are not as good as those of most students majoring in music.

Of course, he is definitely talented. "Serious Snow" has been around for more than ten years, and now it is still played in shopping malls when it snows!

The lyrics of "It's Raining" are well written...

Shen Liang likes the whole poem very much!
Well, now it’s time to record the show…

However, Xue Zhiqian... his status has risen. He no longer tells stories, but stands next to Wang Han, responsible for setting the pace.

For the first proposal, he Cue Shen Mengchen, who said something very boring, disco dancing... The guests probably thought it was difficult to express this point, so they just danced around for a while...

Wang Han saw Shen Liang sitting still, so he asked him, "Shen Liang, don't you want to go clubbing?"

Shen Mengchen also interrupted: "You don't go to the nightclub?"

Shen Liang answered seriously: "I don't go dancing, and I never go to nightclubs. I'm too lazy to go to bars... I hate those ambiguous and mixed interpersonal relationships the most. They are a drain on me..."

Shen Mengchen was surprised: "Then I saw people on the Internet saying that you are a scumbag..."

"...No, what does being a scumbag have to do with nightclubs? I don't want to go to nightclubs because they are too noisy, and I don't like clubbing..." "So where did you go to date girls when you were in college?"

"Script-killing games, werewolf games, escape rooms... camping, watching plays... there are so many things to do!"

“Is this how college students play now?”

"... almost... I haven't seen many college students going clubbing anyway!"

Xue Zhiqian looked at Qian Feng and added with a smile: "Yes, the people who go to discotheques and nightclubs are usually men in their thirties. For example, Qian Feng likes..."

The whole place was filled with laughter…

Shen Liang also smiled: "College students are busy improving themselves! I have that time, so I practice guitar, read books, and spend more time with myself..."

Yang Di couldn't help but interrupt: "Ah? Then you are still teaching how to flirt with girls in the live broadcast room?"

“I’m not talking about flirting with girls. What I’m talking about are some normal ways and methods to pursue women…” Shen Liang explained: “There are many college students in my live broadcast room. They don’t know how to pursue girls. In fact, it comes from the mindset of a test-taker. The mindset of a test-taker is that as long as they work hard enough, they can get what they want!

This problem-solving mentality is very similar to the licks-the-dog mentality, which is that as long as I treat her well and lick her well enough, I can get her love.

Their minds will automatically ignore other factors and only see a single scale..."

Wang Han interrupted: "What does a test-taker mean?"

"They are the kind of young people who only know how to bury their heads in doing and solving problems..."

"bookworm?"

"Almost... But this is not a derogatory term. The test-takers I'm talking about are those who worked hard to get into their dream university..."

Yang Di interrupted: "What do you do in this situation?"

"I will scold them... tell them not to be lickers..."

Shen Mengchen suddenly became excited: "I hate the word licking dog very much. I feel that many people who pursue seriously are called licking dogs... It makes many young people afraid to pursue girls!"

Qian Feng also jumped up: "Yes, why are people like us who pursue seriously called licking dogs?"

Tian Yuan and Liu Wei also followed suit...

Shen Liang waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said: "The boundary between these two words is whether or not you give up your dignity. When you pursue someone you like, you show yourself in front of them, let them see you, understand you, and pay attention to you. But being a dog licker is different. The behavior of a dog licker is to do things that make her happy and give up yourself.

For example, when a girl says to you: I don’t have any feelings for you, please stop bothering me, your response is: A: Okay, I wish you find your own happiness, bye
B: I’m sorry for what I did wrong. I can change it. Can you give me another chance…”

"Then it must be A!"

"But choose B... Try harder, maybe he'll change his mind..."

"It's useless. Girls will be attracted by your pursuit, but they won't be moved by your flattery!" Shen Liang continued: "In fact, these examples are relatively sober girls. At least they tell you clearly and ask you not to have delusions... The real situation is that many girls themselves are very vague and it is unlikely that they will give a clear answer... Quite a number of girls will intentionally or unintentionally evade responsibility. This is part of their desire to be little girls...

I found that many guys like to pursue girls persistently, not because they don’t know how, but this is exactly what works on a certain type of girl. They think that if you treat her well, she might change her mind about you, but in fact, girls don’t know what they like at all…”

"What if this happens?"

“…My advice is to confess your feelings quickly. Dogs are usually afraid that the relationship will end after they confess their feelings, so they usually keep licking the relationship for an unclear reason. It’s meaningless!”

Wang Han looked at Shen Liang in surprise: "You know quite a lot!"

"No," Shen Liang said modestly, "Compared with the emotional type experts, they are far behind..."

……

There is a saying... I think it was said by Director Wang Jing, 'Comedy is not an actor telling a joke, but a funny actor saying a sentence!'

This can also be applied to variety shows.

Xue Zhiqian’s character is interesting…

This character has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so every word he says, even if it's not funny, everyone will laugh out loud!
The characters of Qian Feng and Tian Yuan are just not funny...

There may not be this character, but the stories they told clearly showed that they tried their best. If you think about it carefully, it is quite funny, but no one laughed at the scene, including the guests who did not cooperate...

In short, in Shen Liang's opinion, the first half of today's recording was a bit boring...
