I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 229 Another Ex-girlfriend? (33)

"Director Xu, are you done over there?"

Shen Liang was asking about the interview with "The Players Behind the Scenes"...

"The Player" is the opening film of this year's Beijing Film Festival.

Of course, this isn’t awesome, as the selection of movies is really limited – God of War is the closing film!
Well, a super bad movie.

I'm talking about God of War.

As for "The Player", uh... a standard Xu Zheng-style movie - I smoke, drink, have mistresses, launder money and force people to commit suicide, but I am a good man, no matter how I mess around outside, my wife is my favorite!
have nothing to say.

Xu Zheng shook his head: "…It hasn't started yet…"

“…The leader is still speaking?”

"Well, there's one more..."

“…How long will this take?”

Xu Zheng scratched his head: "It will probably be around 11 o'clock... Don't leave yet, there are a few media outlets that want to talk to you... I'll ask them to come find you..."

"Um…"

Domestic film festivals, especially those with official nature, have a process where the host announces the start, and the leaders and creators give speeches...

The constant procrastination is nothing more than "We must make good Chinese films", "Chinese films must go global", "A big film country is moving towards a strong film country"...

It’s a special system!

What's the point of you saying this nonsense?

There are no policies or funds, and you want the horse to run but don’t give it grass to eat…

……

It's Maoyan Movie...

The online ticket sales for the Beijing Film Festival are all taken care of by Maoyan Movies!
By the way, online ticket purchase for the Shanghai Film Festival is a business of Tao Piaopiao.

"First of all, congratulations to both of you for becoming the leading male and female protagonists of a billion-dollar box office..."

Shen Liang waved his hand: "Congratulations to me, Sister Jing Tian has long been a billion-dollar box office heroine, and the mainland box office of The Great Wall was 11.73 billion!"

"... Then... congratulations to Shen Liang for becoming the youngest male lead with a box office of over 1 billion yuan."

"Thank you..." Shen Liang smiled friendly at first, then asked back: "Did you remember it wrongly? It's not me, right? Liu Haoran is two years younger than me!"

"... "

The reporter smiled awkwardly: "Sorry..."

"It's okay...just keep asking."

"Then let me ask Jing Tian, ​​what does the play "Time Travel Together" mean to you?"

Jing Tian was stunned for a moment before answering: "It means... I'm lucky..."

"Lucky?"

“…I wasn’t the first choice…”

Shen Liang interrupted: "Let them regret it! Especially the lady who judged the box office with her naked eyes... Where is the camera? Oh, here..."

"Ahem," Shen Liang said with a hint of disdain after finding the camera: "Weren't you sure that 'Time Travelers' wouldn't reach 12 billion? Now... it's close to billion! Do you regret it?"

“…Can you tell me who is the actress who won the box office award in this movie?”

"That's... impossible. I'm still making a living in the industry. I'll run into her sooner or later..."

……

At this time, Bai Mengyan in Hengdian was very angry...

Her agent told her that the role originally given to her was snatched away by someone else!

"Didn't we agree that I would play the leading female role?"

"The producer invited other actresses, and she agreed to play the role..."

"Who?"

"Jingtian!"

"Jing Tian?" Bai Mengyan was surprised: "...She doesn't want to act in a movie, but comes to steal my role?"

The agent waved his hand: "She may not know that there is a heroine in this play... I heard that she likes the script of "Swagger" very much, so she decided to act in it..."

"…What should we do now?" "Just wait for the company to arrange something…I have something else to do, don't worry, the company will definitely have other arrangements for you."

The agent said something comforting and left the hotel room...

Seeing her leave, Bai Mengyan immediately took out his cell phone and searched for Shen Liang's name... tried to dial the number, but surprisingly it was not an empty number... hung up quickly!
Oh, Shen Liang is his ex-boyfriend. He was the heroine of the MVs of "Sad and Beautiful" and "Mercury"...

The two dated for more than two months, but eventually... broke up due to personality differences.

It was indeed a personality clash. Shen Liang was more of a student at the time, so he didn’t have such big ambitions to make money and become famous. Bai Mengyan was different. She always wanted to become famous and become an idol... Back then, she went to Korea’s SM company to be a trainee before she finished junior college...

Later, she couldn't stand the harsh treatment of trainees, so she returned to China and became a print model.

The job of a print model is very hard. She has to take nearly 10,000 photos every day, and she has to strike thousands of poses in front of the camera in just a few hours.

So, many print models work part-time!
After getting through this period, she was signed by Mao De Shu and filmed several micro-films. It was also during this time that Shen Liang discovered her...

Oh, after the breakup, she was signed by Yu Ma and starred in "The King Is Not Easy", and she was the heroine in her first drama!
Then in "Phoenix Prisoner", one person played two roles, and the part was very important!
Now I am filming "Chao Ge"...

It was said that her next drama would be "The Legend of Hao Lan", but now she was told that it had been snatched away.

feeling bad!
She wanted to call and ask Jing Tian what he meant.

But she didn't have Jing Tian's contact information at all... Contact her through Shen Liang...

Why did you think of Shen Liang?
Because... she just checked Weibo and saw a trending search #沈良、靖恬举行北影節#...

Well, what a coincidence!

……

Shen Liang felt his phone vibrate... but he didn't take it out. Instead, he continued to accept the interview without changing his expression...

It’s work!
"The quality is good, and the audience's reputation is good. As for the actors... Sister Tiantian and I are quite popular with the audience, and there is no audience-driving effect... Naturally, the box office is also good!"

“The driving-away effect?”

Shen Liang explained: "It's because you've acted in too many bad movies. When the audience sees you as the lead actor, they subconsciously think it's a bad movie and not worth watching..."

“Can you give me some examples?”

Shen Liang waved his hand: "I still want to continue to mix in the circle... I will not answer such offensive questions!"

"Haha," the reporter laughed awkwardly, looked down at the card, and asked, "Do you two have any plans for a new film?"

Shen Liangxian answered: "...I'm currently filming Joy of Life, what about you?"

Jing Tian replied: "I will soon join the crew of a costume drama called "Swagger"..."

"The audience really wants to see you two work together again. Do you have such a plan?"

Shen Liang asked Jing Tian this question: "...What do you say?"

Jing Tian thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if there is a suitable script..."

Shen Liang also nodded: "It mainly depends on the script..."

“…Then I wish you two a happy life!”

The interview ended and we shook hands and said goodbye.

Jing Tian asked him: "What are your plans next?"

Shen Liang said casually: "Prepare to go home..."

"go home?"

Shen Liang looked at her with a smile: "…Why? You want to go home with me too?"

Jing Tian hurriedly shook her head: "...I won't go, so as not to delay your family reunion..."

"…Then, let's meet again next time…"

"'Swindlers' is being filmed in Hengdian... You can come visit the set if you have time!"

"Of course..." After thinking for a while, Shen Liang lowered his voice and said, "If you miss me, you can call me. I will definitely do whatever you ask for."

"Pooh…"

Jing Tian obviously heard the hidden meaning and turned away...

Shen Liang then took out his cell phone and checked it - his personal cell phone number was very confidential, and it would not be disclosed except to those with whom he had a close relationship...

Caller ID: Bai Mengyan?

Shen Liang reacted subconsciously: Who is this?
Then I thought of... one of my ex-girlfriends!
