I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 397 Idol (33)

"Visiting the set? I'm very busy!"

"What are you busy doing?"

"I... am resting at home!" Shen Liang yawned: "I have been busy for half a year. It is rare for me to have a few days' rest..."

“…I’m filming The Pearl Lady in Hengdian…”

“…Is the filming of The Sound of Wind finished?”

"Um…"

Shen Liang didn't say anything. He could understand why Yang Mi took on the role in "The Legend of the Pearl" - she must have reached some kind of agreement with the company!

Yang Mi did not continue to talk about "The Pearl Lady"...

In fact, few people who have graduated from professional schools are optimistic about ancient costume dramas!
Including Mahua Teng, jokingly calling ancient idols advertisements on telephone poles...

Yang Mi was the same. When she was interviewed by People magazine, she mentioned Harbin 1944 a lot, but didn’t mention Fox Spirit Matchmaker at all…

Many well-known agents in the industry have also said: People who are not good at anything should be sent to perform ancient costume dramas to become famous...

It can be seen that everyone’s attitude towards ancient idol dramas is similar!
Shen Liang scratched his head: "I have to join the crew of "Underground Fire" the day after tomorrow..."

"I miss you…"

"Okay...I'll be there in the evening!"

Having said that, Shen Liang will definitely go over...

After all, he is an idol.

If you ask for something, you must be firm!
……

National Day...

Not just the National Day, in fact, during the years when the idol was at Jiaxing, her film portfolio was gradually shrinking. At first, she could still take on the leading roles in "Silent Separation" and "The Rescue", but when it came to "Assassination of Novelist", she could only play the supporting role for the rising Lei Jiayin...

By the way, I don’t know if she was unconvinced or what, but during the promotional period she took the initiative to mention the male lead’s seven-digit salary in a variety show - this number must be lower than her movie salary.

Unfortunately, during the Spring Festival movie "Assassination of Novelist", Jia Lin rose to fame at a lightning speed, and helped boost Zhang Xiaofei's career. However, the idol's performance in "Assassination of Novelist" was mediocre, and the role she played was marginal...

Then comes "Hot Pot".

Objectively speaking, "Hot Pot" is a movie customized for streaming media, and many people suspect that this movie is an advertisement for induction cookers!

——The movie was shot in just 19 days.

From the beginning, this project had no plan to make a profit from the box office, but was actually targeting streaming media!

Why go online in theaters?

It can satisfy the core actors' demands for theater movies and at least prevent the outside world from thinking that this is an online movie.

By the way, we can also deal with investors.

If the box office is good, then everyone will be happy. If the performance is not good as expected, then the film will be withdrawn from the schedule and then released on streaming media as quickly as possible...

Oh, the idol went to find Shen Liang, he really wanted to relieve his inner anxiety!

When it is filled up, the heart will be peaceful.

Sensory stimulation, pleasure gained...

Of course, there will still be a sense of emptiness afterwards!

After struggling for half an hour...

Shen Liang watched her swallow the thing and couldn't help but say, "This thing has no nutrition, it's all protein..."

The idol glared at him and didn't answer...

"...I'm going to take a shower...you order something to eat, I'm a little hungry."

"Um,"

The idol agreed and called room service directly.

Shen Liang finished his shower and came out in slippers: "Is there any water?"

The idol, who was sitting on the sofa, played with his phone and replied, "It's in the fridge."

Open the refrigerator...there are a few bottles of mineral water.

Just drink it!

After drinking half a bottle of water, Shen Liang put on his shorts, with his upper body naked, and sat down next to her. He glanced at her... She was playing King of Glory. "Play less games... Read more scripts when you have nothing to do!"

“…This is the end.”

By the time she finished, the food was served.

A huge dining cart with four plates and four bowls covered with transparent lids, and a bottle of fruit wine hanging next to it.

"Thanks,"

Yang Mi thanked them, and the staff left. Only then did Shen Liang come out of the bedroom - after all, it was not a serious relationship, so it had to be kept secret from the outside world.

"Drink?"

"…sure."

Fruit wine…slightly sweet, with a hint of alcohol.

The idol looked at Shen Liang who was tasting the wine, and suddenly remembered something: "I'll feed you."

Pick up the wine glass and pour it into your mouth. Does this mean you want to pass it over your lips?
“…You haven’t even brushed your teeth, so forget it!”

After all, even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs…

"You..." The idol quickly understood what Shen Liang meant and rolled his eyes at him: "Did you watch the National Day movie?"

"No, Uncle Qian and I went to Inner Mongolia for a few days and didn't have time to watch a movie!"

"You're not anxious at all?"

"What are you anxious about?"

“…No one is discussing you!”

Shen Liang shrugged: "Who said no? My latest EP has sold over 1500 million copies, surpassing Cai Xukun's single..."

Well, Cai Xukun’s fans are planning to raise funds to kill “The Lone Warrior”…

After all, the gap is not that big, only 200 million...

Cai Xukun is really awesome. His fans' ability to spend money on games is unique in the domestic entertainment industry!

In the final voting of "Idol Producer" that year, he alone received 4700 million votes, while the second place received 1600 million, a huge lead.

In order to control the comments during the period when the whole network was black, hundreds of B station accounts bought things just because they wanted to, and the big screen supporting Brother Kun was also hung at will!

This guy was really raised by fans, and then he raised his sister-in-law...

Fans who spend money will definitely not be happy about this - I spend money on you, not for you to support your sister-in-law!
The idol waved his hands: "…I meant the movie!"

Shen Liang was puzzled: "Why should I be anxious? I didn't act in it at all... No, I played a minor role in "Escort"..."

“…That’s right, you still have a lot of acting appointments!”

Shen Liang took another sip of the fruit wine: "Would you like to drink some?"

“…I’m anxious!”

"What is there to be anxious about? You are already the most famous star in the country. There are so many movie stars who are not as famous as you, and do not earn as much as you!"

“…but my reputation has deteriorated…”

Shen Liang was amused and asked back, "Is it my fault?"

“…Please help me analyze this…”

"Sister," Shen Liang put down his glass, "What's the point of just analyzing? Everyone knows how to restore reputation, it's nothing more than producing good works and performing every role with heart. The problem is that good works are rare..."

"Then why can't I meet any of them?"

Shen Liang asked in return: "Zhou Xun has only made four movies since 2015, and most of them are supporting roles. Except for "When Will the Moon Rise", which has a good script, the other movies are not bad, but at least mediocre... Why?"

"why?"

"She's out of fashion. She won't get the best movie project!"

Yang Mi swallowed her saliva: "...Not really, Zhou Xun..."

"Times have changed. The older generation is getting older. The times always belong to the younger generation. After "Soulmate", Zhou Dongyu gradually replaced Zhou Xun's track, "Us and Them", "Like You"..."

"Another point is that good scripts and good projects are hard to come by and are scarce resources! Even in Europe and the United States where the film industry is highly developed, it is not easy to get a good script... To put it bluntly, celebrities don't want to spend money but want to make good movies. Why? We can't give celebrities all the good things!"

Yang Mi shook her head: "I found it, it's 'Baby'... I didn't get paid for playing 'Baby'!"
