I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 425 Busy Schedule (13)

Most Hong Kong actors, even big stars, have a sense of professionalism!
This is because Hong Kong is too small and has too many bigwigs. The long-term colonial rule of the British Hong Kong government has resulted in the formation of first-class British aristocrats, second-class British officials, and third-class Hong Kong tycoons.

Actors or artistes are in the fourth category. Their positioning is very clear: they are public figures who provide entertainment. They are not infinitely elevated, nor are they given such a lofty status as the image of the country.

Artists can be rich, but they must behave themselves and not affect the interests of the company, otherwise they will be banned in minutes!

What does professionalism mean now? It means: "Singing sincerely, reciting lines sincerely, arriving on time for announcements, not acting like a big shot in public, etc." The Hong Kong idols made all of these mistakes back then, but when facing TVB, they were nothing.

Those Hong Kong idols and artists back then all had one experience, that is, they worked in TVB, either acted in TV dramas or appeared in TVB variety shows. TVB dominated the entire Hong Kong public performance market, and all artists who wanted to show their faces and keep their public image fresh had to appear on TVB regularly.

Many people say that Hong Kong artists are dedicated to their work...

Nonsense! Don’t you see how old the Hong Kong artists who are still active now are? After going through the competition of survival of the fittest, those who remain are of course very dedicated!
In fact, the early Hong Kong artists were badly reviewed, with poor acting skills, big names, and overlapping roles, especially the early Hong Kong actors who came to the mainland to film (some of them are well-known figures) - for example, when Lan Tianye recalled the filming of the 90 version of Fengshen Bang, he said that among the four Hong Kong actors in the crew, Tang Zhenzong had the best attitude. Tang Zhenzong read the script whenever he had time, while the other Hong Kong actors would have a big meal in a private room during the filming breaks...

When the mainland market was emerging, there were many TV stations. If one TV station didn't provide the food, they would go to the next one. There was no monopoly among the artists and idols, so these problems began to emerge.

Today, there are a bunch of so-called idols who have no substance, no talent, and have arrogant tempers, yet they think they are very individual!
Shen Liang was also this kind of person a few years ago...

They start quarreling as soon as they disagree with each other!
Actually, there is no need...

It’s just that Master Huachenyu has too many haters, so he was exposed...

If it was a real talented person, he probably wouldn't be so angry...

……

"Seven days off?"

Shen Liang found Rao Xiaozhi to ask for leave, and the latter became a little anxious when he heard that he would be away for seven days.

"It's the end of the year, I have to participate in a lot of platform activities..." Shen Liang counted on his fingers: "Look, I have to go to Tencent's Starlight Awards, I have to go to iQiyi's Scream Night, and I have to participate in Weibo Night... By the way, I have to promote "Love Like a Bouquet"..."

"Aren't you from Tencent? Why are you attending iQiyi's Scream Night?"

“Squid Stewed in Honey is broadcast on iQiyi…”

Rao Xiaozhi nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked, "So you are going to take a leave for New Year's Eve this year?"

“…Well, CCTV’s New Year’s Eve, Beijing TV’s New Year’s Eve, and Bilibili’s New Year’s Eve…”

"Bilibili New Year's Eve?"

"Zhao Zhao invited me and told me to be the finale and sing six songs solo!"

"…The TV station invited you…but you won't go?"

Shen Liang: "I don't have the ability to clone myself, so how can I participate? CCTV and Beijing Satellite TV have already recorded the program in advance... I will concentrate on recording it when the time comes, and it will take at most three days!"

"Okay, I'll focus on filming Brother Hua's story first..."

"Excuse me, Director..."

"I'm used to it. Who made you the most popular?"

……

In fact, according to fans, Shen Liang has already been a movie emperor for a long time - the Macau International Film Festival Golden Lotus Award, the Huading Award, and the Film Channel Media Awards all awarded him the Best Actor award.

However, the value of these awards has not been recognized by the industry. Shen Liang never participated in them, and at most recorded a VCR as a speech...

At the end of each year, major platforms hold annual ceremonies...

So annoying!
For Shen Liang, after attending Tencent's Starlight Awards, he also had to go to iQiyi's Scream Night and Zhalang's Weibo Night...

There is also the annual headline ceremony!

He participated in four events in seven days and won a lot of awards, such as the most influential artist of the year and the most popular artist of the year. He won the Screaming Male God award at iQiyi, the Weibo King award at Weibo Night, and the most watched star of the year at the Toutiao Festival.

I met many friends who I had artistic exchanges with during the event.

Unfortunately, there is no time to chat in detail.

too busy.

Fortunately, the interval between these celebrations is only one day, and they are basically held in BJ...

But Shen Liang attended every event, smiling all the time, with the corners of his mouth stiff.

It’s not over yet, the promotion of "Love Like a Bouquet" is about to start!

Although Shen Liang is now in the limelight, there are three new films on December 12, including the Hollywood blockbuster "Jumanji: The Next Level", Hu Ge's "The Gathering at Southern Station", and "The Whistleblower" directed by Xue Xiaolu and starring Lei Jiayin and Tang Wei...

Hollywood blockbusters enter the Lunar New Year period...

Refer to last year's "Aquaman", which earned more than 20 billion at the box office!

The first "Jumanji" movie grossed 4.91 million yuan in China, and the second movie, according to common sense, grossed at least billion yuan. After all, the lead actor Dwayne Johnson is the most popular Hollywood star in China - perhaps the only one. The movies he starred in, "Rampage" and "Skyscraper", all grossed more in China than in North America.
"The Gathering at Southern Station", Hu Ge's work in Cannes...

Oh, let me interject a word about the Cannes Film Festival. This time Lou Ye made a fool of himself - he attended Cannes with "An Unfinished Film" which did not get the Dragon Mark, and then was given a zero score by the world's authoritative film magazine "Cahiers du Cinema": Those who are familiar with this organization know that the black spot is not zero score, but the evaluation that says: Not worth watching, even worse than 0 points!

Lou Ye is a typical functional illiterate, and his way of thinking is still stuck in the last era - flattering the West.

——To put it bluntly, we shoot what foreigners like to watch, and we shoot what subjects are likely to win awards abroad.

The main plot of "An Unfinished Movie" is that during the epidemic, my mother was locked up at home and couldn't go out shopping. It was so miserable. She lost her freedom...

From the perspective of creative thinking, the ideas are still the old ones, reflecting on oneself and trying to please Europe and the United States, but... the flattery hit the horse's hoof!

But you don’t even look at how many people died in Europe and the United States during the epidemic.

A bunch of documentaries have already been released on streaming media!

Are you shooting this now?

Not only do people not think you are criticizing China, they even think you are being Versailles!
It’s good enough that you’re not eaten by angry foreigners, but you still want fame and fortune?

Ahem...

Continuing with the schedule, there is also "The Whistleblower", a new work by Xue Xiaolu and Tang Wei - the previous one was "Beijing Meets Seattle"...

"Love Like a Bouquet", apart from Shen Liang, there seems to be no other focus!
However, the cinemas are very supportive of Bouquet. On the first day of screening, Bouquet accounted for 32% of the screenings, while the other three films only accounted for about 15% to 20%...

Because the pre-sale of "Bouquet" is 3200 million!
