I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 715: Hot (23)

Shen Liang never watches the dramas he starred in...

First, there’s not much time… and it can be really awkward!
Second, there is no need to watch...

Many people say that actors improve their acting skills by watching their own performances on the broadcast side...

Who are you trying to fool?

No actor will "understand" the problems with his or her acting based on the edited product.

What's more, the dramas currently being broadcast are basically all using various skin smoothing and filters, and many of the protagonists are like soft-light lenses, making it difficult to see their faces.

Do you really think watching this can improve your acting skills?

The post-production color grading of "Kim's Secretary" did not involve much skin smoothing.

Shen Liang’s request - no skin smoothing and no filters!

The texture was fully achieved during the shooting, which is the so-called cinematic feel.

In fact, the tone of a play is largely determined by the early art, photography and videography.

"Kim's Secretary" seems to have more "middle colors". First of all, the colors of the scenes, clothing, and makeup are also lighter, mainly neutral colors, and the light used during filming is also relatively small, so the overall texture of the original film is more like a Japanese drama...

Post-production color grading…

There is relatively little that can be done.

Of course, for the audience, the first visual perception is still the person. Once the person is ugly, no matter what the tone of the film is, they will feel that the overall look is weird.

Let me tell you a story. There was a period of time when colorful Abao colors were the mainstream. That was the era when TV stations purchased films. Many film buyers particularly liked "plastic colors" or those with extremely high saturation, "pink and green".

They will ask the post-production company to make adjustments under the banner of "TV viewers won't like the way you adjust the colors."

Many movie buyers actually only represent their personal aesthetic taste, not the audience’s aesthetic taste!
Oh, back to "Kim's Secretary". Shen Liang took a quick look and went back to his room.

"You don't want to see it?"

"...Look, I'm going to sleep first..."

Tian Xiwei looked at the TV, then looked at the bedroom... and finally chose the bedroom.

……

On the night when "Kim's Secretary" was first broadcast, Dragon TV's ratings were 1.449%, while Beijing TV's were 1.063...

Both channels broke 1, and directly topped the ratings championship throne...

—— CCTV-1’s “Daughter of the Mountains” and CCTV-8’s “All About Doctor Tang” were also beaten…

Continued to defend Shen Liang's title of undefeated ratings.

In fact, there are not many dramas broadcast on both channels.

There are only a handful of dramas that can be broadcast on both channels every year, and they are all top-notch.

This year, "The Rest of My Life, Please Give Me More Advice" and "The 80/20 Law of Love" were not broadcast on TV!
The reason is excessive entertainment... plus the Qinglang Movement...

Well, “Kim’s Secretary” is also quite entertaining.

But who made Shen Liang play in a lot of mainstream dramas?

As for the situation of Tencent Video...

The number of reservations for "Kim's Secretary" before it was broadcast was astonishing, with a total of over 1500 million reservations.

After its launch, the popularity of "Kim's Secretary" continued to rise. Within two hours of its premiere, the popularity exceeded 30000, and the ratings were very impressive.

The ratings on Huanwang (Huanwang Big Data) were 3.87%, with a market share of over 10% - Huanwang Big Data is a statistical analysis platform for online dramas, online variety shows, TV dramas, TV variety shows, and celebrity popularity data based on data from more than 1 million smart TV large-screen terminals. Kuyun's real-time ratings peaked at over 2.76%, with a market share of 12.99%, both ranking first in the country during the same period, and completely in a leading position.

In addition, "Kim's Secretary" has also attracted widespread attention and discussion on social media.

On new media platforms such as Weibo, Tik Tok, and Kuaishou, related topics frequently appear on the lists, and have been listed on multiple hot search lists and entertainment lists...

Compared to "Storm Chasers", although it failed to break the record, "Kim's Secretary" was terribly strong in terms of topic discussion and actor popularity...

Just two hours after the premiere, "Kim's Secretary" dominated the hot searches, #Shen Liang's first performance as a domineering CEO#, #Shen Liang and Rouba's threesome# and #"Kim's Secretary" is so crazy#…

Marketing is definitely necessary - this drama is also produced by the company, and he himself holds the title of artistic director!
Generally, S+ dramas will spend a lot of money on marketing.

“Kim’s Secretary” is no exception!
Shen Liang himself also posted a Weibo to promote the product.

"Kim's Secretary is a sweet drama... The protagonist is a domineering CEO. I usually don't take on domineering CEO roles because I can't surpass the character settings in Korean dramas: Korean dramas always show domineering CEOs in 360 ways, such as coming from outer space, split personality, immortality...

However, after reading the comics of "Kim's Secretary", I immediately became interested. This is not an ordinary domineering president - a domineering president who combines pretentiousness, middle school student status, narcissism, wealth, and tyranny: Lee Young-joon.

This domineering CEO, however, compared to those who love beauty but not the throne, who are naturally high-end but unaware, and who are so simple and unpretentious, he only loves himself.

My favorite phrase is - How am I?
At any time and anywhere, there is always an expression on my face that says, "The world is so big, why am I the most handsome one?"

Of course, behind every pretentious man, there is a woman who makes him an idiot.

Secretary Kim is this woman.

Fake smile girl!

Working 18 hours a day, no weekends off, and having to be on duty as soon as a phone call comes in after get off work in the evening.

I can also tolerate my boss's various quirks, habits, and narcissism.

Of course, 9 years ago, when Jin Weixiao first entered the workplace, she was also a clumsy, stubborn and willful girl. However, in order to pay off her family’s debts and to support her sister’s schooling, she could only regard this well-paid job as a life-saving straw.

The hero and heroine are evenly matched.

I really like this comic, so I bought the adaptation rights, but I never had the time to shoot it, and I couldn’t find a suitable heroine. Later, I met Rouba, who is very good at fake smiles!

Then I asked my senior sister Zhang Yingji to be in charge of the adaptation, and talked to director Zhang Xiaobo, who took over the directing work.

I’m lucky that Director Zhang Xiaobo and Director Sun Hao are both directors of my favorite TV series “Big Man When Married”…

In short, thank you to the director, screenwriter, our artist Wang Jing, photographer Liu Bin, lighting, props, modeling, and costume design teachers...

By the way, let me say one last thing: the movie "New Journey" is now in theaters, please support it!
thank you all…

……

Shen Liang has experienced the same thing as a movie being released while a TV series is being broadcast...

During the time when "Knowing Your Destiny" was broadcast, "The Wandering Earth" starring him was released. Later, when "Want to See You" was broadcast, "The Devil" was also released simultaneously.

So, Liang Ge himself didn’t feel anything much.

Just film as normal!
As for the crew of "Cang Lan Jue"... their attitude towards him has not changed much. He is the biggest star in the crew and everyone respects him very much...

However, Yang Bei has taken on a lot of projects, not only TV dramas but also movies.

Understandably, "New Journey" was too successful: 8 million in the first week, and over 6.9 million for four consecutive working days. The box office was 10 million in the second weekend. After 18.7 days of release, the cumulative box office was billion...

The industry has given a box office estimate of 38 billion!

Shen Liang continues to write his own box office legend...
