I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 720: Chat (13)

After "Knowing or Not", Shen Liang and Zhao Liying have not worked together again...

But their relationship is pretty good. After all, the public invested in "The Wind Blows in Half Summer" and they will soon work together on "The Beast Clawing at Straws"...

However, Liang Ge was a little afraid of her.

Her marketing team is amazing!

Many people firmly believe that she has no backing...

No, in this circle, unless your family is super rich, you join the circle purely out of personal preference, without any desire for fame or wealth, just for fun...

For the rest, especially those who “started from scratch”, don’t say that they have no backing and only rely on hard work. This is all a lie!

Those who really have no backing will spend their whole lives as extras in Hengdian!
Anyway, she probably didn't have any big sponsors in the early days, otherwise she wouldn't have played small supporting roles for three or four years. The first drama she starred in, "The Wrong Couple", was shelved for three years before it was aired!
But she is indeed quite lucky, catching up with the era of traffic and Yu Zheng. "Legend of Lu Zhen" and "Legend of Chusen" are both well-broadcasted, especially "Legend of Lu Zhen", which was broadcasted on the Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater with an average rating of over 2, second only to "Million Bride" and "Let's Get Married"...

The three dramas "Shan Shan Comes" and "The Journey of Flower" became popular immediately...

"My Sunshine" won the annual ratings championship on Jiangsu Satellite TV;
"The Journey of Flower" topped Mango TV's annual ratings;
Soon she became one of the top 85 girls, a first-tier actress...

However, when it comes to acting, Zhao Liying, Yang Mi, Liu Yifei and Tang Yan are all about the same, there is no big gap, it mainly depends on the performance and the adaptability of the role and the script, sometimes you are better and sometimes she is better...

Oh, the one at the bottom of the contempt chain should be the big baby...

But in terms of marketing, Zhao can at least crush the sum of the other few in the past two years!
In the early stage, the character of a female version of Wang Baoqiang was destroyed, and later there was a press release about her overwhelming acting skills...

It's normal. The circle is so small that not only do you have to compete with your peers, but seniors and juniors have all become the targets of this kind of marketing, such as Yang Zi and Zhang Ziyi - Yang Zi is the only female star in the entertainment industry who can compare with Zhang Ziyi in terms of top bone structure...

Of course, these achievements are not good enough in front of Shen Liang.

Even if this group of people are tied together, their box office revenue cannot compare to Shen Liang’s!

After "New Journey", the box office performance of movies starring Shen Liang exceeded 500 billion.

《超时空同居》（12.8亿）、《流浪地球》（48亿）、《恶人传》（21.2亿）、《阳光普照》（18.6亿）、《花束般的恋爱》（17.6亿）、《怒火·重案》（32亿）、《人潮汹涌》（21亿）、《地火》（45亿）、《周处除三害》（34.4亿）、《人生大事》（48亿）、《长津湖》（61.8亿）、《峰爆》（31.8亿）、《扬名立万》（36.7亿）、《水门桥》（42.6亿）、《奇迹·笨小孩》（22亿），然后是《新游记》已经超过30亿…

Box office legend for three consecutive years...

To this day, no one in the industry is dissatisfied with Shen Liang’s box office value.

Basically, all the first-tier mainstream movie resources will ask him first...

There was a saying in Hollywood back then: "Basically, the scripts of the quality movies you can see on the market now have Leonardo DiCaprio's fingerprints on them." This is very suitable for Shen Liang...

The key is that Shen Liang is not following the traditional young handsome guy route, so he does not need to transform.

Moreover, for the movies he stars in, he is usually also one of the producers, so Shen Liang doesn’t need to consider other people’s opinions!

He can no longer be described simply as a first-tier star...

Shen Liang asked her to play in "The Beast Clawing at Straws". On the one hand, she was suitable, and on the other hand, the film needed an all-star cast, including Shen Liang, Song Jia, Tong Dawei, Zhao Liying, Jiang Qiming, Ning Li, Aruna, and Mei Ting...

You see, apart from Shen Liang, only Zhao Liying has regular fans.

Moreover, the investment in "Wind Blowing Half Summer" did make a fortune...

Zhao Liying approached him to invite him to star in "Traveling with the Phoenix"...

Shen Liang declined: "I don't really want to take on ancient idol dramas for now... Besides, I don't think "Traveling with the Phoenix" is any different from other ancient idol dramas!"

"…Then why did you take on the role in "Cang Lan Jue"?"

Shen Liang shrugged: "I promised the platform... The platform gave us hundreds of projects, and we chose "Cang Lan Jue"..."

Zhao Liying asked back: "Do you think ancient idol dramas are boring?"

"I feel it's pretty much the same...it all depends on the script..."

Hearing this, she sighed: "Then I'll find someone else!" In fact, Xiao Zhao also looked down on "Travel with the Phoenix" - in this drama, most of the supporting roles have their original voices, only she and the male lead Lin Gengxin have dubbing.

Zhao Liying was able to learn sign language and go into everyday life for the filming of "Article 20", but she would not open a mouth for a fantasy fantasy or ancient idol drama.

Fairy tales and ancient costume dramas are originally special dramas for fan circles, so there is no need for acting skills.

Make the fans happy, let them bring their own food and charge into battle, and vote for the data, which is much more meaningful than lines or writing biographies.

For ancient idol dramas, the face must be beautiful, the character must be sober and strong, and with a little cleverness and cuteness, then she will be a top heroine in the eyes of the target audience!

Shen Liang poured her a cup of tea, then asked, "You came to me in the middle of the night just for this?"

"Can't you?"

"Of course, no problem," Shen Liang took a sip of tea, "But, we don't need to talk about these things in person, right?"

"It's more sincere to say it in person..." Zhao Liying picked up the cup, took a sip, and then asked: "I watched "The Beast Clawing at Straws"..."

"A script?"

"Well... my role is considered a supporting role?"

Shen Liang did not answer directly, but asked back: "Have you seen "The Murderer"? "

"Zhang Yi eats rice noodles?"

"Yes! Five-star killer!"

"Seen!"

"Our movie is similar to The Murderer, and it also has a segmented, multi-line narrative. There is no absolute protagonist or supporting role in this play. Your role is the protagonist of the first segment..."

"Okay," Zhao Liying nodded: "When will we shoot?"

“At the end of October…”

Zhao Liying calculated for a moment, then asked, "The filming of "Shu Mountain" only took two months?"

"...My part only lasts for a little over a month...What are you doing lately?"

"I'm filming "Da Qiao Xiao Qiao"..."

“…Zhang Yueran’s novel?”

"you saw it?"

"I've heard of it...I haven't seen it!"

Zhang Yueran, who also debuted with the New Concept, is considered the most famous New Concept writer after Han Han and Guo Jingming.

Unfortunately, the New Concept was only popular for one or two years. Zhang Yueran's "The Oath Bird" was indeed good. We have to admit that Zhang Yueran, Han Han, Guo Jingming, and Annie Baby at that time really influenced a generation.

But later, in order to think independently, I wrote an article for Reader titled "High-speed rail is fast, so fast that it destroys the formality of going home", and was caught and scolded...

I have nothing better to do than to express my sorrow in order to compose new poems!
Many people imitated her to make sentences, such as "Calculators are too fast, not as nostalgic as abacus", "Computers are good, but they destroy the personality and thickness of manuscripts", "Cars are too fast, not as nostalgic as sedan chairs", "5G is too fast, not as nostalgic as telegrams", "Hospitals are good, but they destroy the ritual of worshiping the gods"...

A true writer, like Tolstoy, who was a grand duke and mingled with the lower classes every day, wrote about everyone from serfs to nobles, and exposed the real social situation to readers nakedly.

If your ideological awareness is not that high, you can learn from Liu Yong and write something to make girls happy. If you become famous, older men will give you a thumbs up when they talk about you.

What annoys me most is these sour and smelly literati who talk nonsense but act like mentors and give orders. The garbage they write is useless except for disgusting people. They are so stupid and bad that people will dislike them wherever they appear.

The attempt to show off failed, yes!

However, Shen Liang has indeed watched Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao...
