I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 462 Liang Jiahui (23)

Mary Sue idol drama...

Rouba looked at him in surprise...

How to say it? In recent years, under the influence of domestic idol dramas, "Mary Sue" and "Jack Sue" have long become derogatory terms in the minds of the audience.

The term "domineering president" has added a hint of humor.

Of the four great oil men, three are domineering CEOs!

"Take a look at the settings first..."

Shen Liang said calmly.

"What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" is not awkward at all...

It avoids several minefields: the heroine is stupid, does things without thinking, and seeks trouble for no reason;
The male lead's performance was greasy, awkward, and stiff;
The plot is old-fashioned, obviously fabricated, and the values ​​it presents are questionable;
As long as an idol drama avoids the above minefields, it can reach the passing line.

The setting of "Kim's Secretary" is very reliable. The heroine Kim Mi-so is not only beautiful but also has maxed-out skill points.

As the personal secretary of Li Yingjun, the vice president of a large company, he didn't get promoted by being cute and silly.
Jin Weixiao has a strong ability to withstand pressure. When working under the picky Li Yingjun, she will be scolded if she makes the slightest mistake!

9 years!
Over the past 9 years, Jin Weixiao has evolved into an elite talent.

Fluent in English, rigorous in work, high in emotional intelligence, familiar with the boss's habits and preferences, familiar with the company's various report data, wake up earlier than the boss and sleep later than the boss, available at any time...

The perfect worker!
No matter which boss he is, he will not let go of a secretary who is so capable and can solve all problems.

As for the male protagonist, his personality is more likable. He is tall, rich, handsome, intelligent, and capable. These characteristics are the settings of the male protagonists in many idol dramas.
The difference is that a few middle school settings are added to the male protagonist:
One is that he doesn't like being touched by women, but he keeps having different girlfriends around him;

Another one: He is extremely narcissistic and only loves himself. He thinks it is a waste of talent for a gifted person like himself to fall in love with any mortal.

This feature immediately turned "Kim's Secretary" into a hilarious comedy...

The male protagonist's occasional second-year attribute is the main source of the show's comedic effect, which allows the male protagonist to break away from the old-fashioned image of being cool and handsome, and show his cute and lively side.

Rouba quickly read the settings and asked, "Journey to Chase Your Wife?"

"Almost... How's the character setting?"

“…Very interesting, when will it be filmed?”

"The script isn't finished yet," Shen Liang thought for a moment, "After I go back, I'll find a few screenwriters to finish writing the script, and wait until next year..."

"so long?"

Shen Liang was curious: "Don't you have any projects to shoot?"

"There is a film called The Long Ballad...but the male lead is still under negotiation..."

"Aren't you looking for someone from Jiaxing?"

Rouba shook his head: "…This is a Fujin episode."

……

Liang Jiahui is one of those people who is praised a lot, but in fact he is a very rare person who can feel happy from the act itself. Because acting is very joyful, he is crazy about taking on different roles!

Many people say that he doesn’t have the star power and can’t sell the copyright overseas, so he can only play supporting roles…

Actually, it is not. At least in 92, Liang Jiahui was able to single-handedly carry out "Black Rose", which had a box office of 2280 million Hong Kong dollars, and "New Dragon Inn" with 2150 million Hong Kong dollars, which were able to suppress Chow Yun-fat's "Hard Boiled" and "The Adventurers".

In 93, "Rose, Rose, I Love You" (HK$2190 million) made it to the top of the box office charts by being cheesy, and "New Hard-Eaters" (HK$2136 million) surpassed real blockbusters such as "The Bride with White Hair", "Outlaws of the Marsh", and "Once Upon a Time in China".

——"Rose Rose I Love You", he can carry this kind of movie, you say he has no screen charm? Can't carry the box office?
If we analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to think of the reason why Liang Jiahui quickly lost his ability to carry the box office. The reason is almost obvious: after those two years, including those two years, Liang Jiahui took on a large number of movies that could not carry the box office at all, and he also played supporting roles in quite a few movies in a non-guest way, and the supporting actors were all kinds of people...

For example: In 95, Zhang Min tried to be independent due to the cold winter of Hong Kong films, so she started a film project. This film ended up with two movies based on the same script, a high-profile version "Chasing Girls 95: Beautiful Dreams" and a low-profile version "One Thousand and One Nights: Dream Lover", one big production and one small production.

Liang Jiahui starred in the low-profile small-production version, while Liu Qingwan starred in the high-profile big-production version.

Although it can be said that there must be various hidden stories behind this, that was in 95, and there was no way that Liang Jiahui's status could be lower than that of Andy Lau!

Let’s look at film history. Can you find another person who has such a wild way of connecting films?

The key is that he is not short of money...

——Except for Liang Jiahui, all the stars who have reached this level have worked hard to maintain their star status. It is obvious that maintaining the status of a superstar can make more money than Liang Jiahui's way of taking over.

If he is willing to manage his personal brand expectations, he will have no problem maintaining his second-tier top 10 rank, but he doesn't care about that at all. He accepts any role, regardless of whether it can make money or win reputation...

There can only be one explanation: he likes acting and likes trying different acting styles...

So, he couldn't stand Wang Jiawei - he didn't let him express himself and kept him there for a whole year!
Because acting is so joyful, I don’t care at all about how your project turns out. As long as I enjoy playing your role enough, that’s more important than anything else.

A very intelligent and self-aware actor, the stage is his joy, provided he has enough to eat and drink.

In "A Chinese Odyssey", his performance was so enjoyable that it almost made Wang Jiawei burst out with the emotions that he had suppressed for a year!

By the way, regarding his acting skills, can he be compared with Liang Chaowei?

It is highly unlikely, after all, Liang Jiahui cannot play the role of Mandarin!

However, "Midnight Diner"... is really bad.

Shen Liang has always been curious about why Liang Jiahui wanted to film "Midnight Diner"...

When we met, I asked him directly, and Liang Jiahui explained himself: "The Japanese film company stipulated that there must be an izakaya when selling the copyright, and the protagonist's outfit must be exactly the same as the original...including the scar on his face..."

“…The key is that China doesn’t have izakaya culture!”

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. My boss asked me to shoot it, and I also liked this comic, so I shot it..."

Liang Jiahui’s version of “Midnight Diner” was approved in 2017. That year, “The Devotion of Suspect X” was a huge success, and many big directors entered the market, such as “Legend of the Demon Cat” and “The Chase”. Then a bunch of Japanese IPs were approved, such as “The Convenience Store of Sorrow”, “Portrait of 19-Year-Old in Summer”, “Qinghe Boys’ High School” (adapted from “Hot Blood High School”), “Little Q”, and of course “Midnight Diner”…

“In fact, I felt there was a problem after filming was completed, so it was delayed for two years before being released… and it still failed!”

“…I didn’t expect the market to change so quickly!”
