I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 563 Can we change the time? (44)

"You are so busy!"

"How to say?"

"Filming during the day, taking interviews at night, and after that, you still have to live stream..."

Shen Liang smiled and said, "This is the life of a popular star. Are you envious?"

Zhao Jinmai shook her head: "I don't envy you!"

“…I feel fine…”

"I think you'd better take a break..."

"When I'm done with my life, I'll have plenty of time to rest!"

Shen Liang waved his hand and made a request: "Don't use so much force, I am a human being..."

The two were in the lounge, and Zhao Jinmai took the initiative to give him a massage...

Oh, the relationship between the two is just a normal friendship, maybe a little closer than friends, but Shen Liang has no evil thoughts towards her.

There really isn’t…

After all, Shen Liang treats her as his sister!

Not the kind of sister who has a very charming purple color...

They are really close sisters - after all, they formed a revolutionary friendship while filming "The Wandering Earth" together.

"By the way, brother, I see that the box office of "Life Events" has exceeded 20 billion!"

“…I saw that too…”

As of August 8, "Life Events" had been released for 7 days and had a cumulative box office of 10 billion.

According to Maoyan's forecast, the total box office is 49 billion...

Well, it surpasses "Underground Fire"...

"Can I get 49 billion?"

“…I don’t know,” Shen Liang thought for a moment and replied, “But it shouldn’t be a problem to exceed 40 billion!”

"So... they said you can make over 10 billion from this movie?"

"Bullshit, my salary for this movie is only 15% of the box office share, where did the 10 billion come from..."

"Aren't you the producer?"

"I am just the third producer... In today's Chinese film industry, one person can't have his cake and eat it too!"

After a pause, he continued: "The biggest harm to Chinese films at present is that the film industry stakeholders, capital parties, theaters, and well-known directors and actors who followed the rise of Chinese films in the early days have formed interest groups, banded together, and divided up the pie...

This makes it difficult for new directors and actors to get a chance to shine unless they choose to join them.

For example, if you have a good script that you want to shoot, you have to ask them for investment. They will arrange directors and actors within their interest system, thereby depriving you of control over the project.

If you want to be independent, then set up your own studio and find ways to attract other investments instead of being tied to traditional film and television production companies. Then you will run into a problem: it will be difficult to attract investments because those people have already said that whoever invests will lose money and whoever invests in this movie will have nothing to do with us in the future.

Therefore, you can only sell your house, take out a mortgage, borrow money from various people, and find people who are not originally in the film industry to invest in order to make the film.

It’s not over after you’ve filmed it, you still have to release it! If you want to release it, you have to outsource the marketing to a traditional film and television company. When it comes to the release, you have to pay a visit to the company, otherwise you will suffer a loss in marketing, a loss in the post-release schedule, or even be taken off the shelves early, which means it will just go through the process…”

"You can't do it either?"

Shen Liang scratched his head: "No way..."

"That…"

Before Zhao Jinmai could ask again, Shen Liang's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and said, "I'm going out first!"

"Your girlfriend?"

Shen Liang opened his phone and saw 'Sister Mi' on it. He asked, "... Is Yang Mi my girlfriend?"

"Yang Mi is your girlfriend?"

"That's a question...Okay, I'm going to answer the phone!"

……

"You're coming to Xiamen? When?"

"The day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow is no problem... I've postponed all the interviews!"

“…Of course you are the most important!”

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang was in a good mood...

I want to come and visit the set.

It's called a visit, but actually I'm here to satisfy my cravings...

You might want to eat something hot!

As a fan, Liang Ge has no choice but to do so.

Back to the filming of "The Beginning", one good thing about this drama is that because the scenes are fixed, there is no need to deliberately adjust the order during filming. The actors can shoot it in one go according to the plot...so, the emotions are very much on point.

It won’t happen that you shoot a crying scene in the morning, then get into the mood, and then shoot a happy scene in the afternoon…

The actors will feel detached.

"Click, we've passed... time to call it a day!"

Director Huang Wei took a look at the footage and immediately called for the end of the film!

Li Guangjie came over and asked: "Is there any interview tonight?"

"…Well, there are two…"

"Make sure you get enough rest..."

Shen Liang smiled: "I feel okay, and I don't feel tired..."

Li Guangjie looked at him and said, "Well, you look pretty good."

"Uncle, do you think my acting skills have improved?"

“There has indeed been an improvement in my skill reserve…”

The so-called skill improvement means that the actors have a ready-made system for expressing certain emotions, which can quickly reach a performance level that the audience can accept.

This requires a lot of training!

There are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you have a foundation in acting skills, but the disadvantage is... it is easy to develop a feeling that acting is just so-so... and then you feel lazy.

Once an actor starts to feel lazy, it becomes very difficult to improve!
What’s even scarier is that your performance was clearly perfunctory, but it was well received by the market…

Then, you won’t be pushing yourself anymore!
Li Guangjie patted Shen Liang on the shoulder: "Okay, take a rest..."

"Ah."

Shen Liang does pay attention to rest time - he must ensure five hours of sleep every day!

Because once an actor is tired, it is difficult to maintain the state. I am not talking about the emotional state, but the fatigue can be seen in the appearance. This is something you cannot control...

Of course, sometimes you can’t just rest whenever you want!

When your idol comes, shouldn’t you teach him everything you know and give him your all?
Fortunately, the idol’s fighting ability is not good, and he can only last two rounds at most...

……

The idol washed himself, then found a comfortable position and lay in Shen Liang's arms, and asked with satisfaction: "What do you like about me?"

Shen Liang was in a state of confusion, and he casually replied, "Big breasts!"

"what?"

"You have a big heart...you are beautiful and kind, and oh, you have money!"

“…You never spent my money…”

"But you are rich. Having money is very important. For example, Wang Sicong is just average looking, but because he is rich, many people say he is a nobleman!"

"Wang Sicong...I haven't seen him for a long time..."

"Wanda can't bear it anymore..."

"…Really?" Yang Mi remembered something and said, "Let me tell you something."

"Go ahead... I'll take a call!"

The phone rang...

“…Who is it?”

Shen Liang was very frank: "...meat bastard!"

“…Turn on speakerphone!”

"..." Shen Liang ignored her and went straight to the balcony

Turn on hands-free?

What if there is some secret that cannot be told?
"Come tomorrow? Can't we change the time? Tomorrow... tomorrow 'Lotus House' will be aired, and I have to do a live broadcast to promote it... I don't have time to accompany you!"

"I have connections. If you come, I will definitely be distracted. If I say something wrong during the live broadcast, who will be held responsible?"

"Be good...wait for three more days..."

"…I…I'm eating now, and I'll have an interview later…"

"Yes, I am doing business!"

"Well, talk back!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang returned to the bedroom. His idol stared at him with a half-smile.

"What's wrong? I grew wings?"

The idol rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are really amazing. You can destroy our company!"

"You can't say that. I also contributed..."
