I didn't want to be an actor
Chapter 105: Really Daring (12)
"I'm not investing in movies... I'm investing in my own movies. If I hadn't participated in "The Wandering Earth", I wouldn't have invested in this project at all... My dad is in theater management. After I started making money, he warned me, 'Don't invest.' Movies, nine out of ten projects! '"
Yang Di asked back: "Then you still invest in "The Wandering Earth"?"
Shen Liang explained: "I am the lead actor and have been deeply involved in the whole process. I know that this team is reliable...and domestic hard science fiction is either groundbreaking and creates a new genre, or it is like Youzu's "The Three-Body Problem". Disappeared quietly... Anyway, I think "The Wandering Earth" will become a banner for domestic science fiction movies!"
"So confident?"
"If I don't have confidence, I won't continue to invest more..."
Wang Han interjected: "Besides movies, do you have other investments?"
Shen Liang thought for a while, then shook his head: "...No, I'm not a professional investor..."
"You can learn from Xue Zhiqian and open a hotpot restaurant, or like many celebrities, open a trendy brand store!"
Shen Liang shook his head: "I don't know much about hot pot and trends, so I'd better not mislead fans..."
Yang Di digs the hole: "You mean celebrities make trendy brands just for their fans?"
Shen Liang asked directly: "Will anyone else buy it?"
"…How dare you say that!"
"That's it, just cutting leeks..."
Xue Zhiqian quickly said: "I'm not. When I was doing clothing and hot pot restaurants, I wasn't famous yet..."
"You are a powerful person...different from those traffickers!"
"...a talented guy with terrible acting skills?"
"Everyone has something they are not good at..."
"What about you? What do you think of your acting skills?"
“Let’s leave this to the audience’s evaluation…”
Ng Meng-tat interjected: "He has good acting skills, is very smart, and is very good at learning..."
Shen Liang quickly said: "Thank you, Uncle Da, for the compliment!"
…
We talked about investment for about ten minutes, and then Jin Xin talked about an embarrassing moment, giving an example of attending a dance.
"At the European Royal Ball one year, I was the host. The theme of this ball was related to China, and many well-known Chinese stars were invited, including Ms. Zhang Ziyi. Before the ball started, the staff said to Zhang Ziyi: " When the ball starts, maybe our prince will ask you to dance. "
Zhang Ziyi was very polite and replied: "Okay."
But at this time, the agent next to her refused directly and said very sternly: "No! We are here to participate in the event, and the contract does not say that we have to dance."
I was very embarrassed at the time, because since I came to the ball, I had to dance, and the first dance was very meaningful, as it was an invitation from the prince! It is a kind of etiquette that represents respect and liking.
If that's the case, forget it. The key is that her manager and her manager later said, "You can dance, but you can pay more." ’
Then, Zhang Ziyi may have felt something was inappropriate. She wanted to say a few words, but her manager immediately interrupted: "Shut up, you have no right to speak!"
I was right next to you... I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. It was such an awkward scene. It’s something I will never forget in my life..."
Shen Liang answered: "This is about being cheated by the agent... The original heroine of "Wolf Warrior 2" was also cheated by the agent... How can a normal human being do such a thing as increasing the price for a performance?
Anyone with a sound mind knows how important connections are in the entertainment industry. It is impossible for an unknown 18th-tier actress to turn down the opportunity to be the heroine in a movie just for a few dollars!
It's probably the team behind her that did this to get a commission..."
"Her agent?"
"Definitely..." Shen Liang continued: "What impressed me the most was actually Li Min and Zun Long's agent... Many people know that Li Min lost his job after graduation. In fact, he was very famous in New York at that time. His graduation work "The Dividing Line" "Won the New York University Wasserman Award for Best Director and Best Picture! Such a person definitely has the opportunity to film a work, but it is a pity that he signed with the William Morris Agency after graduation... without knowing it. I was rejected by many good opportunities by my brokerage company and became an unemployed housewife..."
"Ah? Why do you want to turn down the opportunity?"
"Agents make money mainly by taking commissions, and every deal counts. They are too lazy to do things that are famous but not profitable. Anyway, they have a lot of people in their hands. Who can they praise? Then this agent, in order to maintain his own interests, He simply drew a line and refused to take any job below a certain amount of money... By the time Li Min discovered something was wrong, he was already an unemployed middle-aged man. Fortunately, he came back, made three outstanding films, and became a great director! "
"Where's Zunlong?"
"When Spielberg produced "Memoirs of a Geisha," he was asked to play the leading role. Director Rob Marshall went to him personally and told him to come directly without auditioning.
At the same time, three-time Oscar nominee James Ivory said he would tailor a movie for him, called "The Countess."
Guess which one he chose?
His agent pushed both of them away to film "Qianlong and Xiangfei"... By the way, there was also Teacher Xue who was hidden after the explosion... Sometimes I can't understand the brain circuits of these agents..."
Xue Zhiqian responded: "Some people are really blind!"
The reason why Lao Xue was hidden was very simple - the top management of the music company he signed was changed, and the new boss looked down on several singers who debuted in "My Type, My Show", so Xue Zhiqian was hidden...
At that critical moment, Xue Zhiqian had already become famous with "Serious Snow"...
Useless!
Yang Di asked: "How is your agent?"
"Very good... Whatever resources I want, she will help me get them within her ability..."
Wang Han interrupted: "We are talking about embarrassment. Has Shen Liang encountered any embarrassing things?"
"... Embarrassing things?" Shen Liang shook his head: "Very rarely, I am usually very perceptive..."
"I will tell you one," Yang Di continued, talking about the incident when he met Zhang Jingchu on the plane...
Jin Xin continued, and released a big move: "In fact, many actors nowadays have embarrassing acting skills, for example, that Yang Tianbao, his acting is really bad!"
Shen Liang looked at Yang Di, the two shook their heads, Yang Di sighed: "Jin Jie is still awesome, I wouldn't dare to say this anyway!"
"Why don't you dare to say it? Afraid of her fans?"
"Not entirely," Shen Liang continued: "We usually don't discuss other actors' acting skills directly in public, this thing has a bad influence... We can talk about it in private, and saying this on the show will affect our audience..."
Jin Xin said in a serious tone: "...If you can't act, you can't act..."
Speaking of this, Jin Xin glanced at Yang Di: "I think your master is also very awkward..."
Master?
"Who?"
"Thank you!"
Thank you?
The scene was boiling...
Yang Di was about to say something, Jin Xin took it back: "Nan Na has a characteristic when hosting a show, either she makes the scene very hot, or she makes the scene awkward to the end...two extremes, she needs a helper to help..."
