I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 738 Second Album (33)

Is there anyone who wants to become a movie star these days?

Then Naza continued: "They told me that movie stars are what actors should pursue... So, I have been making movies for the past six months, no matter how big or small the role is..."

Shen Liang was stunned...

Is being a movie star what actors should aspire to be?
Shen Liang knew all these words... but when they were put together, he didn't quite understand them.

Directly ask, "Who told you that movie stars are respected?"

"There are people in our company who say this, and I've seen a lot of comments saying this..."

"So, you're assigned to play a supporting role in "Ordinary Heroes"?"

Naza said matter-of-factly: "…It's a mainstream movie, and they said that "Ordinary Heroes" can make at least 1 billion!"

"Who said that?"

"Sister Bingbing!" Naza explained: "It's produced by Bona Film Group, and the director is Chen Guohui of The Bravest. It's comparable to The Bravest, The Captain, and Chinese Doctor... I don't think this movie can't make over 1 billion!"

"...Sister, times are changing," Shen Liang sighed. "A year ago, Chinese Doctor and Embrace You Through the Cold Winter still had box office results of 10 billion yuan. But only half a year later, two anti-epidemic movies failed at the box office. The combined box office of the two movies was less than 1 million yuan. What does this mean?"

The two anti-epidemic film compilations are "You Are My Spring" (3064 million) and "She Is Here" (5630 million)...

There was originally a movie called "Battle Angels", directed by Herman Yau and starring Andy Lau and Yang Zishan. However, after seeing that "You Are My Spring" and "She Is the One" failed at the box office, they simply decided not to shoot it!
Naza was puzzled: "What does it mean?"

"It shows that the subject matter of mainstream movies is very important to match the current social environment and public opinion... I watched the material of "Ordinary Heroes". If it wasn't for "Ordinary Heroes", I would have thought it was material released by the crew of "The Captain" or "Chinese Doctor"...Anywhy, this way of storytelling is no longer appropriate in 2022."

“But our movie will be released during the National Day holiday!”

"This year's National Day... Two movies, "The Journey Home" and "Keep You Safe"... Oh, and there's also "Iron Will"..."

"There is also a movie called 'King of the Sky' by Wang Yibo!"

"…Okay…but I still think we shouldn't give up the TV series."

"I have fought for many resources...but none of them are suitable..."

Shen Liang didn't know what to say, so he could only encourage her: "Come on..."

"I am indeed pursuing my career. I also accepted the role in 'She Vanished'!"

"Who are you playing?"

"Li Muzi!"

"Hey, this role is pretty good... Did Chen Sicheng find you?"

"No, Rouba introduced it to me."

Shen Liang suppressed his laughter: "...Rouba introduced you to some resources?"

"Is it not possible? We have a very good relationship!"

"…Um."

Sharing relationship is indeed unusual...

At this point, Naza glanced at him and said, "Little dog, do you still have strength?"

Shen Liang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted: "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, thin dog!"

"I think you don't know what's good for you!"

Feeling provoked, Shen Liang jumped on his horse and galloped to his heart's content...

Again, one-on-one, he has never lost!

... "King of the Skies" was withdrawn from the schedule. I heard that it was directly blocked from release after internal screening. Later, the Air Force directly cut off the release...

By the way, "King of the Sky" was produced by Han Han. Really, everyone is trying to get involved in the main theme. Han Han invented the old jokes in the public intellectual world, such as "You only have a resident ID card, you are not even a citizen"...

He suddenly became the producer of a mainstream production!
How awesome!

Unfortunately, I can only catch a late shift...

Shen Liang… doesn’t really care, “Keeping You Safe” will definitely break 1 billion anyway!

Oh, Naza started filming the next day after joining the crew...

It was not easy. She almost couldn’t walk the day before—she was no match for Shen Liang alone…

Shen Liang also entered the filming period.

However, it is not his turn to act yet, and most of the time, he is recording songs!

Well, the second album.

It includes 14 songs: Flowers, If I Can, Not Maybe, Flowers Bloom in Parting, Slow Youth, Time Is Not the Only Thing That Cannot Be Returned, Decisive Love, Don't Panic, Moonlight Comes When the Sun Sets, I Want to Be the Wind, Affirmation, Thank You for Coming, and a Chinese Opera Song Falling...

There is also a Cantonese song called "Dehors"...

There is also an English song called "If We Ever Broke Up", that one is so...

Among them, "Affirmation" and "Thank You for Coming" are both chorus songs, and the female voice in "Affirmation" is a little sweeter...

Shen Liang originally planned to find a professional singer to sing with him, but after singing a version with Nazha, he felt it was pretty good.

"Affirmation" is the song that says 'It was destined in a second, the story of two people was decided by you and me, the answer of three words was determined by you, so sure'...

"Thank You For Having Come" found a professional singer to sing together, and Chen Jiadong recommended Shan Yichun...

It is said that he is the best of the new generation!
Shen Liang listened to a few songs and they were indeed pretty good. To be honest, it was unbelievable that singers like Zhou Shen and Shan Yichun, who were very young and had no creative ability, could stand out among the 14 billion people in Greater China and become top stars.

Their talents cannot be overstated; they are all top geniuses.

Oh, these are all Tik Tok hits.

The second album is called "The Second" and has no title song. Shen Liang said during the live broadcast, "It will take at least two years to release the third album. I don't have any ideas recently... To be honest, the quality of the entire album can only be said to be pretty good, and it's not a breakthrough compared to the previous ones... Don't scold me!"

Indeed, the last EP was so popular that "Echoes of Dusk" and "If the Moon Hasn't Come" are still in the top ten of the hot song list...

"It's definitely good, but I haven't practiced singing much in the past two years. Although I've been protecting my voice, it's definitely not as amazing as every previous EP..."

“…No need to buy it, it’s free this time, QQ Music has already paid enough for the exclusive release…”

A brother commented, "Zhou Jielun charges for his services, but you offer them for free. Aren't you disrespecting the copyright market?"

Shen Liang explained: "The copyright is in my hands. I can make it free if I want. No one can interfere! You have been paying for my songs for several years. This time, just treat it as me inviting you to listen to my songs for free!"

"I'm not short of money. Do you know why I wrote the Tao Te Ching? Because I enjoy it!"

“…Officially released on September 1st…There is no title song, all of them are main songs…I never make anything boring!”

"I listened to Zhou Jie Lun's new album, and I have only one thing to say: Zhou Jie Lun's singing skills have visibly declined. He has a hoarse voice and doesn't practice vocal music. He's the same as David Tao. When David Tao was young, he could sing the high notes of "Too Beautiful" very smoothly, but now... he can't even sing the high notes... It's quite sad."

"Tao Zhe was a top music producer and singer back then. Let's put it this way, looking at the Chinese music scene, any music producer does not compose music or lyrics, but only arranges music and mixes it afterwards.

If he can produce any of David Tao’s songs, he will immediately become a quasi-first-tier producer and can be a core member of at least a first-tier domestic production team.”

"He single-handedly produced several of David Tao's albums!"

"You don't know because you have never created music. I now feel that the title of best singer is the least valuable, and the title of best album producer is the most valuable. It's too difficult for one person to do both..."

"Yeah, I just said I'm awesome!"
