I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 658: The Book of the Dead (33)

Well, Rouba hasn’t completely let Shen Liang go these days.

Maybe they think it’s more interesting and exciting…

It is also possible that she wanted Shen's mother to find out that her relationship with Shen Liang went beyond friendship. In any case, she would let Liang Ge stay overnight at her place from time to time!

And I screamed loudly on purpose...

In fact, it’s of no use. Shen Liang had already arranged for his parents to stay upstairs!
It's several floors away...

Besides, Liang Ge is not always available...

Basically I only go there once every other day...

The reason is easy to find - chat with dad!

It’s not an excuse, Shen Liang does talk to his father for several hours every day…

Mr. Shen still works in the China Cinema Line System, but his position has been promoted two levels. He is now the vice president of digital cinemas, mainly responsible for digital cinema management and digital distribution...

China Film Digital Cinema Chain ranked among the top five in the country in terms of box office revenue last year and has more than 900 cinemas under its umbrella.

Although he doesn't produce movies, he knows the process of movie distribution and release very well!
Moreover, having faced the first-tier market for a long time, he is very sensitive to the film market.

He said to Shen Liangming, "This year's film market will be very bad!"

It was indeed true - I remember it very clearly, the total box office for one week was less than 11 million, and the total box office for the whole of November was less than 6 million...

The reason is simple: no new movies released!
"The Journey Home" was released for three full months - it got the extension key three times, and the movie, which was originally scheduled to be worth 13 billion yuan, was stretched to 15.9 billion yuan!
And...arrogance.

Father Shen suggested that Shen Liang go to the Film Archive (Jiuxianqiao Huantie Beiqiao), where the news “China’s film market is number one in the world, and the only one who can defeat you is yourself” is broadcasted on repeat!
The year before last and last year, China's box office surpassed that of the United States, ranking first in the world. "Changjin Lake" is also the global box office champion in 2021. Although "Spider-Man: Three Spiders" has a global box office of more than 18 billion US dollars, this is a movie released at the end of December, and the box office results are counted in 12!
Then, in 2023, the publicity department in charge of the film returned the film release date rights to the film company...

At the same time, commercial films are encouraged!

The newly appointed Director Mao signed a military order: the minimum KPI of the mainland box office in 2023 is 500 billion, and strive for 600 billion!
Therefore, in 2023, the film market will see its largest recovery...

For Shen Liang, the only movie released this year, apart from "Watergate Bridge" and "Miracle" during the Spring Festival, is "New Journey"...

It’s pretty good, maintaining the efficiency of releasing two or three movies a year.

Last year, it was really an accident!

……

"It's so difficult!"

After filming the bed scene, Shen Liang wiped his sweat and couldn't help but sigh...

The director in charge of recording the behind-the-scenes footage asked, "This is Liang Ge's first time filming a sex scene, right?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Generally speaking, talented actors hate to shoot intimate scenes. In our opinion, the way to express emotions is not only through intimate scenes, but also through eye contact. Emotions expressed through language, actions, and details of eye contact are the most touching."

"Then why did you agree this time?"

"Nonsense! Rouba, there's no way you wouldn't want to!"

"What's the most embarrassing thing?"

"There were too many people around... I couldn't express myself freely, and the director was still there to give me instructions... I took the scene several times, and my waist was sore... The director couldn't stop until he felt that there was a scene that would make people's adrenaline rush."

"Backache?"

"I can't really press on Rouba... I have to hold myself up... especially the core..."

"how do you feel?"

"Not bad, at least acting in front of a human being is much better than when I was filming The Wandering Earth, acting in front of a green screen!"

After chatting for a while, Shen Liang noticed that the screenwriter Li Yingji waved at him. Shen Liang said: "I'm leaving first... The screenwriter is calling me!"

Li Yingji occasionally followed the crew and stayed in the hotel most of the time.

Some time ago, Li Yingji took out a script she wrote for "Just Love", and Shen Liang liked it very much. Unfortunately, he couldn't act in it - the male lead in the play was 20 years old and looked very young...

He is quite bad!
Originally, Liang Ge wanted to buy the script, and then...he learned that the script had already entered the development stage.

Yes, Li Yingji is the ace screenwriter of Lemon Films, and her scripts must be highly valued!
"Senior sister, are you looking for me?"

"…I'd like to introduce you to a colleague!" "Who?"

"Fly on Monday!"

Liang Ge frowned, obviously he had never heard of this person...

Li Yingji: "The screenwriter of "Little Willingness" was a reporter before, and later worked as a literary planner for several years. He is quite famous in the circle!"

"Really?"

"…This is her script, take it back and read it…"

Shen Liang took the script, without even looking at it, and asked directly: "Aren't you going to introduce me to him?"

"You'd better read the script. If you are not satisfied with it, you won't respect her even if I introduce her to you!"

"Who said that... I've always admired the screenwriter..." As he spoke, Shen Liang opened the script and saw the title "Book of the Dead". He couldn't help but frowned: "Horror theme?"

"Medical theme!"

"Really? Let me take a look..."

Plot summary: Zhou Xiaofeng, Fang Xiaoran and Lin Yi, three cardiologists, met by chance at the Heart Center of Dongli Hospital. The three had frictions and collisions due to their different professional backgrounds and career concepts, and then gradually reached a tacit understanding in the process of treating and saving people, and finally fought side by side in the battlefield of life...

Looks familiar...

This... seems to be "Questioning the Heart"!

Seeing him staring at the plot summary, Li Yingji said quickly, "Don't be fooled by the synopsis. It may seem cliché, but the story is very well arranged..."

Well, judging from the plot alone, "The Heart" is indeed quite old-fashioned - in domestic medical dramas, the main characters often have different medical styles, which leads to various disagreements in their work, but behind these disagreements, they are all dedicated to the good of their patients. The development trend of the plot is also through cooperation one after another, the main characters begin to successfully run in, work together, and fall in love in the process of working together...

"I'll take it back and have a look..."

"Well, if you are interested, please contact the producer, Sister Xu, as soon as possible..."

"Ok!"

Shen Liang nodded, and Li Yingji turned and left...

Liang Ge was also about to leave the filming location, and Rouba came over: "Where are you going?"

"eat!"

"What are you holding in your hand?"

Shen Liang: "Senior sister knew that I was looking for scripts all over the world, and she recommended a good one to me... It's called "Book of the Dead"!"

"Writer Li is so nice to you!"

"Of course, she is my senior sister... Our Communication University is considered a disadvantaged group in the entire circle, so we must stick together!"

"The Book of the Dead... What is it about?"

“Medical theme…”

Rouba was surprised: "Are you interested in medical topics?"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "I am always interested in the content, not the subject matter... Medical themes can also produce good dramas!"

Rouba waved his hands: "I'm not saying that medical themes are problematic... Sister Mi also filmed "Thank You, Doctor", why don't you cooperate with her?"

"I can't carry her..."

Rouba was happy: "I will tell Sister Mi what you said!"

"You can say it or not... Let's go and have dinner!" Shen Liang walked towards the car and thought of something: "Do you want to see it?"

"I don't want to watch it anymore..."

"What's wrong? Are you worried that I can't carry you?"

"…Pah…I don't need you to take me!"
