I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 390: Drunk? (23)

At the wrap party for "The Imperial Coroner", Shen Liang didn't drink much...

I have to go to Shenzhen early tomorrow morning.

After the filming is wrapped, everyone will go their separate ways!
Shen Liang has become somewhat accustomed to this rhythm. Most of the people present have experienced shooting and wrapping up, and can be considered old hands. Although there are some feelings of separation, overall it is okay. Wang Churan cried very miserably.

——"The Imperial Coroner" was her first time playing a leading role!
The most important thing is that I might feel a little regretful because I just communicated with Shen Liang for a whole night.

I don't know what Meng Ziyi said to her, but she burst into laughter in the end...

Director Lou Jian drank a cup with Shen Liang and said, "Brother Liang, will you join the crew after this?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "I still have to host Sister Lang for the last time, and I have to release my EP... and promote the movie I participated in... Besides, I'm not an iron man, so I plan to take a week off..."

“…I’ve read the original novel of “Underground Fire”, it’s pretty good!”

"Well, the story itself is very good. More importantly, there are large sections of engineering implementation scenes in the story, which are enough to satisfy our imagination of the Industrial Revolution. Let's feast our eyes and enjoy it. The crew is preparing a large segment to show!"

"Industrial Revolution?"

"Yes, China lacks the glorious impression of the first and second industrial revolutions. Even most of us have never seen a steam engine... When these appear on the screen, everyone will be shocked!"

This is the general context of Shen Liang and Lu Yang's discussion on "Underground Fire"...

In addition to showing the disaster, it is more important to show the industrial infrastructure, and then a fire destroyed it all...

“That’s a huge investment, right?”

"Fortunately, the total cost is about 3 million, which is basically the production cost... The actors are all paid the basic salary, including me..."

Shen Liang received a basic salary of 200 million yuan for "Underground Fire" and a 10% profit share...

Together with the 4000 million he invested, the total share was 30%.

By the way, after the failure of Shanghai Fortress, BJ Culture withdrew its investment in Underground Fire, and then Penguin Films filled the vacancy...

The reason why Beiwen withdrew its investment was not because it was not optimistic, but... it had cash flow problems!

Lou Jian smiled and said: "Chinese science fiction still depends on you guys..."

“…Hehe, Director, have another drink!”

"Um…"

……

Around ten o'clock, Shen Liang returned to his residence - he did not follow the crowd to sing at KTV...

He also has to broadcast live.

Recently, we have been filming until around 11 o'clock every day. Shen Liang really can't find time to live broadcast...

It’s been two weeks since I last updated!
"Didn't I tell you last time that we have to work overtime on 'The Imperial Coroner'... We have to shoot until at least 10pm every day... We have to start work on time at 7:30am. The shooting workload is too heavy, and I don't have time to do a live broadcast!"

Entering the live broadcast room, he first explained why he hadn’t been broadcasting for two weeks…

"I have finished filming "The Imperial Coroner" and just finished the wrap party. I came back to live broadcast immediately..."

While broadcasting live, Shen Liang stood up and made himself a cup of tea, explaining: "...I drink white tea, I don't know where it comes from...My dad likes to drink it, so I can drink a little with him..."

"I usually don't drink any beverages, just water and occasionally some tea..."

"You have to protect your throat!"

“After all, I am a singer…”

Then there were a lot of curses in the comments, "You still know you are a singer?", "Where are the new songs?" "...The new songs have been recorded and will be released the day after tomorrow...But let me first say that it is four new songs + one instrumental. I really don't have time to make an album..."

"The piece of music is called 'March of the Iron Torrent', which was specially created for the military parade... a very exciting piece of music..."

“…I can’t just stop charging if I want to…QQ Music needs to cultivate user habits…”

"Cai Xukun's "YOUNG"..."

"He's so awesome, I'm ashamed of myself!"

I am really ashamed of myself. On July 7, Cai Xukun’s EP "YOUNG" was released on the entire network and sold 26 million in one hour!
So far, the total sales have exceeded 10 million copies, becoming the first personal EP to receive the "Hall of Fame Epic Record" certification on QQ Music...

It’s really amazing. Shen Liang’s second EP only sold over 300 million copies.

The sales of the first album "Shen Liang" were only 685 million - the total sales were 1.71 million...

Shen Liang certainly knows that if his fans really want to spend money, they won’t be any worse than Brother Kun…

But again, it’s not necessary!

“…I told QQ Music this time that each IP can only be purchased up to two copies…”

"Why did you buy so many? Two for yourself, one for yourself, and one for someone else... that's enough!"

“…It’s not shameful to be inferior to Brother Kun. If I really want to compete, I can just spend money to buy sales…“March of the Iron Torrent” is the accompaniment song for this year’s military parade, and “Dislocation of Time and Space” is also the song for this year’s National Day Gala…“Lone Hero” is the Chinese theme song for this year’s League of Legends World Championship…”

"My level is not low!"

"Don't worry about sales or anything, just listen to the music."

We first talked about the latest EP for more than ten minutes, and then talked about "My Motherland and I"...

"This is a compilation film, a director compilation... The so-called compilation film is a number of short films that serve the same theme... The theme of "My Motherland and I" is definitely "My Motherland and I". It is a tribute film jointly organized by seven directors, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yibai, Guan Hu, Xue Xiaolu, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, and Wen Muye..."

"I was filming The Awakening Age at the time, and I took three days off to make a cameo appearance in The Escort directed by Wen Muye... It was a functional supporting role!"

“The biggest attraction of the film compilation is of course the comparison of the directors’ skills!”

"Compared to feature films, the volume of short films is easier to grasp. In addition, the form of propositional composition can better reflect the creator's skills under certain constraints. No matter how much effort the director puts in, when the length and presentation of the work are so fixed, whether it is perfunctory or a masterpiece depends entirely on the director's own attitude and level..."

"Seven works with different themes are put together, and everyone can compare them at will..."

"Who am I most looking forward to... To be honest, the plot and chapter of "Convoy" is only 15 minutes long, which is too short and there is nothing to watch. I am most looking forward to directors Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Brother Kai!"

"After all, director Chen Kai shot 'Deep in the Flowers' back then!"

"Deep in the Flowers", a short film shot by director Kai Ge for Cannes, is awesome!
The effect of "Deep in the Flowers" is like "hearing thunder in the silence".

The sense of rhythm is top-notch. At first you may think he is silly, then laugh along with him, but in the end you are completely stunned.

10 minutes brings out the collapse of a group's spiritual world.

Individuals in the era - The era in this film is almost invisible, which is the most wonderful thing.

"Okay, let's talk about something else... Hong Kong... Let's not talk about politics, there's nothing to talk about, and it's easy to get the live broadcast room shut down... Who is my favorite post-85 generation?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Post-85s collectively... suck..."

"You can't say that. It's only 2019. Wait two more years until the facts are settled before you say that!"

While we were chatting, my phone started vibrating... It was a message from Meng Ziyi: "We've had too much to drink, so we're going to sleep at your place, open the door..."
