I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 560: Work (14)

I don't know since when actresses have been proud of being thin...

Then they pass the buck: the mainstream aesthetic is white, young and thin!

No, we like beauties.

It doesn’t mean that being white, young and thin means being beautiful!

Why is Gong Li so plump?

They have good acting skills and don't rely on their looks or body to make a living, so unless the role requires it, they can do whatever they want!

Most female stars rely on their faces to conquer the world, so of course they dare not get fat...

Therefore, those who are fat will be ridiculed - you make a living by your face, and you dare to be that fat, who do you think you are?
Ahem...

Shen Liang looked at Zhao Jinmai and said, "Linglong is not that good!"

“…I know, but I want to try a costume drama!”

"The track of costume drama is too crowded, and it's hard for you to get first-class resources... You can try light comedy. I heard that Bi Xinye is preparing "I Have a Friend". The script is quite interesting. You can give it a try..."

"Well, thank you brother!"

"Can you guys at the Central Academy of Drama make a movie as a freshman?"

“I’m a sophomore this year!”

“…Sorry, but sophomore year isn’t an option, right?”

"It's summer vacation!"

"I've graduated for several years, how can I remember summer vacation and winter vacation... Come on, I'll take you to meet the actors..."

Zhao Jinmai was speechless: "...Brother, are you out of your mind? We filmed "Storm Chasers" before, and we became familiar with each other!"

"…Really? You stayed up late last night. I tell you, actors must get enough rest, otherwise, it's easy to forget…"

Shen Liang laughed, and the two of them went to the restaurant where the crew was having dinner.

……

"The Beginning", the actors basically continue from "The Storm Chasers", except for Aunt Guo.

Auntie Guo acted so well!
She was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards for her 10-minute performance in "Summer of the Future" - beating Hao Lin.

A good actor can't hide...

Auntie Guo in "The Beginning" has the explosive power of a volcano erupting, showing the despair and madness of a mother who lost her daughter - a manic, crazy, and only-child middle-aged woman, her acting is so perfect!
In several tense confrontation scenes, the anger and determination she displayed were both frightening and unforgettable!

There is no reason not to find her!
In addition, Aunt Guo Liu Dan’s life experience is also legendary - she is a classmate of Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu. After graduation, she went directly to the China Youth Art Theater and participated in several works. Like Tao Hong, as long as she is shortlisted, she will win an award!
Later, she went to Japan as a visiting scholar to study under Shimizu Kanji, the last disciple of Kanze Hisao, and became the first foreign actress to perform Noh in Japan!

When Noh actors perform on stage, they wear masks with expressionless faces, called Noh masks…

Noh actors must use their subtle movements to reveal the complex emotions hidden beneath each piece of "Noh mask".

Noh is the quintessence of Japan, and she even starred in "Hagoromo" - "Hagoromo" is a classic Noh play...

Can you imagine a foreign actor coming to China to star in the Peking Opera "The Red Mane Horse"!
However, her pay is quite cheap.

In fact, the salary of "Beginning" was less than 800 million. Even with Shen Liang in charge, Tencent gave it an S-level rating - not S+, and the corresponding publicity and promotion efforts would be weaker than those of top projects. However, due to superstition about Shen Liang, Tencent did not distribute the copyright...

The broadcasting rights of "The Son-in-Law" were sold to iQiyi!

At that time, Tencent focused its bets on Xiaozhan's "Douluo Dalu" and did not pay much attention to "The Son-in-Law", and now regrets it.

By the way, Liu Tao didn’t come to “Beginning”. Although Shen Liang also felt that she was the most suitable actor for Teacher Bai, she was indeed not suitable for Director Du. Wan Qian was replaced by a guest star, and the actor who played Zhang Cheng was also replaced by Wang Xiao…

Li Guangjie plays the driver Wang Xingde. He said he has always wanted to challenge this kind of role!

The actors of "Beginning" are basically "Storm Chaser" + "Outside the Court"...

A 15-episode TV series was filmed in one month, and everyone regarded it as a relatively avant-garde series.

……

The filming of "The Beginning" officially started on the second day after arriving in Xiamen.

Time is also urgent.

It is August 8nd, and "Life Events" has been released for 2 days, with a cumulative box office of 4 billion...

According to Maoyan’s prediction, the total box office of "Life Events" will reach 40 billion!
There is still a possibility. There will be no movies of comparable scale released in the whole month of August.

Shen Liang is already extremely popular - "Underground Fire" and "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" have been big hits. "Underground Fire" even won the box office championship during the Spring Festival, and "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" also saved the sluggish film market...

Then came another "Life Events"!
In the history of Chinese-language films, only Jackie Chan in 85, Stephen Chow in 92, and Chow Yun-fat in 1987 can be compared with him!

In 1985, Jackie Chan occupied four of the top five spots on the annual box office chart of Hong Kong films, including "My Lucky Stars", "Summer Lucky Stars", "Police Story" and "Heart of Dragon".
In 1992, Stephen Chow released 7 movies, all of which grossed over 2000 million yuan and were ranked in the top 5 of the box office charts.
In 1987, after "A Better Tomorrow", Chow Yun-fat got rid of the label of box office poison and ushered in his glorious year of 1987. In this year, Chow Yun-fat starred in 11 movies, five of which, "Prison on Fire", "An Autumn's Tale", "A Better Tomorrow 3162", "The Ghost Bride" and "The Romantic Comedy", all made it into the top ten of the annual box office, among which "Prison on Fire" won the runner-up with a box office of million.

Moreover, three of his roles were nominated for the Best Actor Award at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards, and he won the Best Actor Award for "City of Lights".

This year is not over yet, Shen Liang still has three movies to be released, but "Underground Fire" won the annual box office champion, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is temporarily ranked fourth, and "Life Events" has a high probability of being among the top three...

Many self-media have already called this year the year of Shen Liang!
——He is now the number one in the domestic entertainment industry. Anything related to him always triggers heated discussions. The episode of "A Longing for Life" he participated in had high ratings and exceeded 1.5 million online broadcasts, including "The Four Poisonous Uncles", which had a click-through rate of over 3000 million!
In fact, Shen Liang’s performance last year was not bad either. The combined box office of "Raging Fire" and "Raging Fire" exceeded 50 billion!

In 2019, the four films "The Wandering Earth", "The Devil", "A Sun", and "A Bouquet of Love" grossed over 100 billion yuan at the box office...

Anyway, Shen Liang didn’t feel that he had changed in any way…

It’s not like I haven’t experienced proxy photography and paparazzi before…

24-hour surveillance...

There are all kinds of media lines for interviews, including a bunch of so-called luxury goods endorsements, and frequent contacts...

He's almost used to it anyway!
At the end of the day's work, Shen Liang said hello to the media he had arranged to meet with: "Do we start now? Or should we wait a while?"

"Watch your time!"

"Then let's get started..."

Shen Liang will definitely continue to promote it, as "Life Events" is currently in theaters!

Because you have to film a TV series, all media interviews are cancelled?

Think beautiful!
This is work.
