I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 305: All taught by Shen Liang (14)

Shen Liang must have done his homework.

"The Wandering Earth" contains Eastern thinking in the movie - collectivism, the isomorphism of family and country, and the nostalgia for the homeland. It is difficult for the West to understand even if the publicity has spent a lot of effort. It is also something that "Zhongsheng" has spent many years to explain.

So, I got the 'Bell' achievement award!

Oh, let me explain, the so-called bell is an important pen name of the People's Daily International Commentary, which is the abbreviation of "Voice of China", the so-called "alarm bell"!
Before The Wandering Earth, Wolf Warrior 2, Operation Red Sea, and Twenty-Two received “Bell” reviews…

"Another point is what the director said, The Wandering Earth is a Chinese-style romance... The extreme attachment to one's native land reflects the Chinese people's strong sense of hometown and local consciousness. The ultimate spiritual comfort of the Chinese people is to return to their roots!
Therefore, The Wandering Earth is different from the Western movies that destroy the earth and escape from the earth at every turn. It has a strong oriental color of thinking and oriental romance! "

"Then... do you think that American and international audiences will accept a movie created with this concept?"

Shen Liang chuckled and left the chance to show off to Guo Fan: "Let the director answer this!"

Guo Fan also smiled and said, "I don't care whether they can accept it or not. I will serve the Chinese audience first! If they like it, I will be very happy. If they don't understand or don't like it, I don't care at all. I made this film for the Chinese audience."

"Yes, I like his attitude!"

"What about Mr. Wu Jing? Do you also admire the director?"

Wu Jing smiled bitterly, "At first, I couldn't say I appreciated it. I just had a drink with him and listened to his story outline. Plus, my wife is a science fiction fan and a die-hard fan of Liu Cixin. Her first royalties were for a science fiction short film she wrote when she was in middle school. I don't know much about science fiction, and I'm not a fan. I'm just curious... and then I came!"

“…Once you’re here, you can’t leave!”

"He told me first, Brother Jing, I'll be a guest star for three days..."

"Three days later, he started adding more scenes, and it took a full 42 days to shoot!"

"What's even more outrageous is that halfway through filming, he told me that he had no money and asked if he could not get paid... I had already filmed halfway... I had no choice but to give up... Later, when filming was about to be completed, he came to me again and said that he had no money and asked if he could invest a little..."

"So, you voted?"

"I'm in!" Wu Jing nodded helplessly: "Well... this is called the empty-handed Wolf Warrior!"

Guo Fan chuckled: "No, this is the sausage tactic... Shen Liang taught me..."

Hearing this, a group of people looked at Shen Liang, who widened his eyes and said, "…What does it have to do with me?"

"Did you tell me about the sausage tactic?"

"…You are amazing. We were discussing the international situation, but you actually used it on Brother Jing!"

The salami tactics, also known as salami slicing tactics, incremental tactics or wheel tactics, is a military strategy that aims to use the strong advantages of material force within the limits of freedom of action provided by external factors to quickly achieve some intermediate goal, and then pause to take the next military action.

"Learn and apply it in practice!"

"Then I have something to reveal too!" Shen Liang said loudly: "Uncle Da told me that when Director Guo Fan invited him to join, he also said that Andy Lau was also in the crew!"

Li Guangjie also joined in, including Zhao Jinmai, and they all talked about Guo Fan’s promise...

The funniest thing was Zhao Jinmai's: "When I joined the crew, I was about to take the high school entrance exam. My mom wouldn't let me come, but the director promised to help me with my homework... but I couldn't even solve a middle school math problem!"

There was a burst of jubilation at the scene until a reporter asked: "What do you think of the original male lead's breach of contract?"

Several people were silent, and Shen Liang replied: "If he hadn't violated the contract and ran away, I wouldn't have been able to join The Wandering Earth... I think a lot of things are fate!"

"Including many investors who withdrew their capital,"

……

This year’s New Year’s Eve is on February 2th, and the Spring Festival period officially kicks off on February 4th!
Logically speaking, the actors should appear on a few variety shows to promote their performances...

Zhejiang Satellite TV’s “Ace vs Ace” actually sent out invitations…

But... Wu Jing wants to go mountain climbing - to train for the movie "The Climbers";

Shen Liang is going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal. Well, mainly because they don’t want to be on Zhejiang Satellite TV. When Wu Jing was not yet popular, he participated in the variety show "Let’s Go Love" on Zhejiang Satellite TV. He checked the chimney many times to prevent poisoning, but the staff of Zhejiang Satellite TV complained on Weibo that the matter was forced...

Shen Liang also has a bad impression of Zhejiang Satellite TV.

The talent show he debuted on was "Burning Boys" hosted by Zhejiang Satellite TV...

That crappy show...let’s not even mention it!
The other actors are not popular enough or important enough...

Only Wu Mengda could participate...

But he just went there for a cameo appearance, and it just so happened that "13 Invitations" invited Wu Mengda, so he went.

Shen Liang…was not idle, he went to Changsha to record the last episode of “Mars”…

……

It was very embarrassing that Shen Liang missed the recording of the eleventh episode of "Mars" - he even stopped the live broadcast for one episode, so it was normal for him to miss "Mars".

Then, Zhou Shen, who was prepared to invite, was not invited...

However, in the last issue, it was said that he was called over.

At the beginning, Shen Liang introduced: "Zhou Shen, my good friend... We often chat, and sometimes we play King of Glory together!"

Yang Di was curious: "...Did he play well?"

"It's OK... not as good as Teacher Yang Mi..."

Zhou Shen: "He hasn't played in the past six months..."

"Even if I don't play, I can still easily beat you... I can beat you, all I need is a hand!"

Wang Han interrupted: "You all play games?"

“I used to play…”

Zhou Shen nodded: "After he became famous, he rarely appeared on the Internet!"

"I'm busy. Making money is important. How can I have time to play games?"

"What does he usually talk to you about?"

"We talk about everything. He often sends me a piece of unfinished music and asks me what I think..."

Shen Liang nodded: "Zhou Shen has a strong musical literacy. I usually ask him if I have any inspiration..."

Zhou Shen suddenly said: "I haven't been in touch for the past month... I'm a little uncomfortable with the sudden message inviting me to the show..."

"What happened?"

Shen Liang was embarrassed: "He likes Zhao Liying. I said a few unpleasant things during the live broadcast... Plus I had to make a movie, so we didn't get in touch..."

“…I also want to ask you, why did you say that about others in the live broadcast room?”

Shen Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "…I got mad…My fans posted a few Weibo posts of Sister Liying's fans criticizing me…I lost my mind a little bit, but afterwards, I called Sister Liying to apologize!"

"…You apologized?"

"Yeah," Shen Liang nodded. "Actually, fans can say whatever they want. We celebrities earn wealth that most people cannot even dream of in their lifetime, but the price we pay is that everyone can comment on us and use us as gossip... This is true all over the world, both in ancient and modern times."

At this point, Shen Liang's tone turned serious: "I want to tell my fans, don't take the Weibo comment manipulation thing into the real world, don't scold others because of me... If you do this, how can I get along in the future?
Don’t think that the world is either pink or black. This world is not so polarized. There are more ordinary people in it. They don’t care about your stuff at all!”
