I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 516 Daily Life (14)

"Andy Lau... has no talent, he relies on his own hard work... This is like saying that Kobe has no talent, he relied on his hard work to dominate the NBA for so many years!"

"He was just unlucky. He was put on ice during his first peak period, and then... his company went bankrupt..."

Liu Dehua was very lucky. He was appreciated by the great director Chang Cheh when he debuted and was offered a lot of roles. Because Chang Cheh thought Liu Dehua looked a lot like his favorite actor Fu Sheng, Chang Cheh said he liked this guy very much when he debuted...

During this period, a large number of TVB dramas were filmed.

Later, he was nominated for his first film and television award - the Best New Actor at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards - for his role in "Boat Man" directed by Ann Hui.

Unfortunately, after receiving the nomination, the popular Andy Lau had to continue to film various TVB dramas...

Then, the contract was terminated and she was put on ice...

It was not easy to be released, but it happened to coincide with the craziest era of Hong Kong movies...

Then, under no other circumstances, Andy Lau became what people call a "model worker."

List of movies he acted in in 1989:
"City of Speed", "Dragon and Tiger Club", "The Lonely Bird in the Sea", "The Speedster", "Soldiers of the Year 3", "Little Police", "Best Boyfriend", "Crocodile Fishing", "God of Gamblers", "Same Root", "The Supreme", "Eagle", "Legal Affairs", "Comrade Lover", "The Romantic Comedy 3", "The First Cocoon"...

He acted in 16 movies in one year!
That's how efficient it is.

For any actor to take on so many roles in a year will not help his acting skills at all, it will only cause his body to be overdrawn.

This period was the time when his acting skills were most severely denied.

This situation continued for many years until 1998, when Andy Lau gradually took control of his own film acting, and things started to get a little better.

"He can't compare to Liang Chaowei. No, not only Andy Lau, but who among the Chinese actors can be compared to Liang Chaowei? He is the second male lead in the Marvel blockbuster Shang-Chi!"

"Andy Lau is only worthy of working with me, only worthy of working with Guo Fan, to star in "The Wandering Earth 2"..."

"The background and existence of the character Fu Manzhou were not the right starting point from the beginning. He was created hundreds of years ago to satisfy racial discrimination against the yellow race, and he has something to do with the Yellow Peril theory. Now, he has changed his name and background, but his meaning has not been corrected...

I saw many people online saying things like "He just met a good role!", "He treats movies as a hobby!"…

No, Wu Jingge paid for the patriotic movie out of his own pocket just to establish the Wolf Warrior character and make money from the little pinks. Did he take on Fu Manzhou in order to pursue the borderless art of film?

Do you have to be so double-standard?"

"Anyway, a little actor like me is not qualified to work with Mr. Liang!"

……

"Actually, I am also an idol. I care a lot about my screen image!"

"Although I played a villain in "Raging Fire", I still looked handsome, including in "The Evil Dead"... I definitely can't act in movies like "Happy Together" or "Lust, Caution"!"

Shen Liang continued to chat...

"A talented actor is a pure actor who will not set a bottom line for himself. Director Chen Ming once said, 'Except for scenes where an actor is killed in one shot, all other scenes must be experienced.'... Of course there are loopholes, such as sex scenes, crime scenes, violent scenes, etc."

"I concluded that I have some talent. I can get into the mood and role quickly..."

"But... there are many roles I won't take because I care about my image!"

"Dangai themes...don't even think about it, I definitely won't take it!"

"Also, if I play a villain, the villain must die... good and evil will be rewarded in the end."

“…By the way, I have something to announce. The new EP is already being recorded and will be released on the 27th. Yes, the day when ‘The Crowd’ is released!”

"That's all for today, see you tomorrow..."

……

After the live broadcast, Shen Liang called Ma Hao to confirm that Xilinnayi Gao would come tomorrow...

Yang Mi immediately asked: "Why did you ask Xilin Nayi Gao to come over?" "I sang "If the Moon Didn't Come" with her...my new EP..."

"Yang Chaoyue is also a singer!"

“…This is a ballad, and I need someone who can sing.”

"You need someone who can sing? I can sing, too!"

"Yeah…"

The idol was a little indignant and said, "Why? I can't sing well? I've also released an album!"

Shen Liang was surprised: "Are you kidding?"

“…You think my singing is bad?”

"It's not a question of whether it sounds good or not, you are not a professional singer..." Shen Liang said seriously: "When you sing, your breath is shallow, your voice pressure is weak, your larynx is high, and there is external muscle compensation.

Vocalization is essentially work, which requires the vocal organs to continuously and efficiently produce energy and release it. Only when the sound has a sense of confrontation can it be controlled and a more dynamic and elastic sound can be obtained..."

“…Okay, I understand!”

Yang Mi waved her hands unhappily: "It's just a joke, why take it so seriously?"

“I only release one EP a year, so I must be serious about it…”

In fact, the most suitable duet partner is Zhang Bichen...

In terms of singing skills alone, Zhang Bichen is indeed amazing. Most importantly, she is also very talented, with enough depth, rich emotions, and full of breath.

Isn’t this... Zhang Bichen is embarrassing!
……

The next morning, we filmed the outdoor scene, which was also the final scene…

Groups of people escaped death...

Li Jiahui wants to make a movie out of the whole thing...

Lu Ziye was horrified: "Who is that? He's from Nanjing, and he's involved in so many things? Is what Qi Leshan said the truth? Do you dare to say that you know everything behind the scenes? We are just small people, don't pretend!"

"The more I think about it, the more scared I am. That group of people came prepared, which means that from the very beginning, someone knew that I was going to bring Qi Leshan out. At that time, they had already decided to take this opportunity to destroy the body and cover up all traces!"

“This case is too big!”

Li Jiahui was unwilling to accept it: "Just let it go like this?"

"Yes! Let's just leave it at that!" Lu Ziye: "Nine out of ten projects fail, this is normal for commercial investment!"

"I finally found out the truth... so let it go?"

Su Mengdie, played by Yang Mi, suddenly said: "If this movie is made, I am willing to act in it!"

Kodak: “Me too!”

"If you are willing, I am also willing to direct!"

"What's wrong with you, Director Zheng?"

"I don't know either. I'm very scared and regretful now. I also want to take back what I just said, but... but I'm also an artist with a conscience!"

“Crack…passed!”

The director called over, then asked Shen Liang: "Should we change the scene now?"

Shen Liang checked the time and said, "You guys go to the venue to confirm. I'm going to record a song. It will take at most an hour!"
