I didn't want to be an actor

Xu Zheng came specifically to see Shen Liang...

Invite him to compose a song for his film.

"...Then you don't have to come in person, right? Just make a phone call..."

"You can't tell by just calling," Xu Zheng waved his hand, glanced at the busy crew, and then asked him, "Are you waiting here?"

"...I have a play only in the afternoon, I'm here to study!"

"Aren't you the second male lead? Are you still waiting for the show?"

Shen Liang: "As I said, there is no role for the male lead... Besides, half of the actor's money is waiting for the role!"

Xu Zheng deliberately raised his voice and said, "But aren't you famous? You've already attended the Spring Festival Gala!"

"Brother, please keep your voice down..."

Shen Liang was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, and pulled him away: "Let's find a place to drink tea and chat slowly..."

"…That's okay too."

Xu Zheng waved to the on-site staff and followed Shen Liang out of the filming location...

They found a teahouse, the two of them sat in and ordered a pot of Longjing. Xu Zheng spoke first: "Zhao Liying and I have collaborated before..."

"What show?"

""Li Wei Becomes an Official"... It should be the third one... She was so young at that time!"

""Ouchi Xiaoshou"?"

"Ouchi Hands Down... That's right, it was renamed "Ouchi Hands Down" when it was aired. It was actually the third part of Li Wei's official career... From then on, I stopped taking on costume dramas!"

"Well," Shen Liang nodded and mentioned something by the way: "Actually, many people wanted to see you appear in "The Deer and the Cauldron"!"

The Li Wei portrayed by Xu Zheng in "Li Wei Becomes an Official" is a living Wei Xiaobao: a businessman, slick, clever, and most importantly, he has a sense of justice brainwashed from storytelling...

At that time, during the online voting for "The Deer and the Cauldron", Xu Zheng came first. Many netizens believed that no one except Xu Zheng could play the role of a market hero with a sense of justice.

Zhang Jizhong did not choose him and gave the reason: Xu Zheng looks old!

Damn it, Huang Xiaoming didn't look that young at that time.

Xu Zheng sighed: "I also fought for it..."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal if I can't act..."

"An actor can encounter countless roles that he wants to play in his life, but there are only a few that he can actually get..." Xu Zheng sighed with emotion, and then handed the script in his bag to Shen Liang: "This is the script..."

""Indian God of Medicine"? Has it been filmed?"

"Well, I've finished all the post-production work, I just need a theme song!"

"Indian God of Medicine" is "I am not the God of Medicine"...

It was originally called "The Road of Life". Han Jianu watched Lu Yong's documentary "The Medicine Hero Lu Yong" and was deeply moved. She wrote the script of "The Road of Life". Han Shanping liked the story very much and gave it to Ning Hao; Then screenwriter Zhong Wei stepped in to commercialize and type the script. To put it bluntly, it is to make it look better and more in line with the audience's aesthetics;

Finally, the literary director took it to shoot and made some adjustments.

Of course, the additions of Xu Zheng and Ning Hao are indispensable...

Xu Zheng is still very talented. Cheng Yong's predicament in "The God of Medicine" is probably his handiwork - a hospitalized father, a divorced wife, a son fighting for custody, and his life is forced into a dark alley.

He is very good at portraying this type of character, the middle-aged male dilemma!

He was originally scheduled to be the male protagonist of "Article 20", and he was deeply involved in the creation of the script. The male protagonist is a typical "middle-aged Xu man", caught between his first girlfriend and his current wife.

Of course, due to the factor of quasi-collapse of the house - being involved in a crime, and under the pressure of public opinion, during the official filming, the leading actor was still replaced by Lei Jiayin...

After all, capital doesn’t take risks!

Shen Liang read the script, then took out the computer from the bag he carried with him...

About twenty minutes later, a song came out...

"Okay, come here and take a look!"

"So fast?"

"It used to be very laborious to write a song. You first write lyrics and music, make a demo, then arrange, record, score, and produce... Now all you need is a computer, a sound card, a set of recording equipment, and a set of software... I guess it will take a while Time, just a mobile phone!”

Shen Liang click to play...

‘…Without the aura of God, you and I are born ordinary, recognizing regret in heartbreak, life is long and short, beating hearts grow vines;

Willing to fight for danger, to fall into the darkness and the abyss, with a face stained with mud;

Without the halo of God, hold on to the ordinary in your hands...'

""As long as it's ordinary"?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

"...You are such a musical genius!"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "The main script is well written, I feel it... I suggest finding a group of children to sing together... With the blessing of children's voices, the effect will be even better!"

"Child's voice?"

"right…"

Xu Zheng nodded immediately: "Do as you say..."

"...When do you want it?"

"There's no rush for now. Anyway, you just have to finish it before April..."

"Then...drink tea..."

Shen Liang added some water to him, and the two chatted about "Living Together in Time and Space"...

Xu Zheng said his plan: ""Cohabitation in Time and Space" will be released in March, and the publishing company has set a date of March 8th..."

Shen Liang was startled: "So anxious?"

"There won't be any major movies next month...just one "Black Panther"..."

"Will the schedule be colder?"

"Our movie is not big..." Xu Zheng emphasized: "It was discussed by several distribution companies together!"

“…And the propaganda work?”

"The publicity team will find you then... Just cooperate well..."

"You're... quite sudden!"

"Don't have confidence in the movie?"

"That's not the case... I have to take a leave later..."

"The crew must have made a plan!" Xu Zheng waved his hand: "Birds and Cicadas is almost ready to go online!"

"...Okay, I'll talk to the company."

...

The distribution company actually took into account Shen Liang's rising popularity and released the movie directly!

Who knows if his popularity will disappear...

What if it's a flash in the pan?

If you don't release the movie while his popularity is high, do you have to wait until he's out of fashion?

Traffic is unpredictable.

Shen Liang was a little caught off guard...

The original plan was that "Do You Know" would be filmed until the end of March, and then shoot a few commercials and join the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years"...

Now, tell him that "Time Travel" will be released ahead of schedule...

The plan is all messed up!

But he didn't dissuade Xu Zheng...

This matter is definitely not his own initiative, it is definitely the proposal of the distribution company - the distribution company is Guangguang!

This year's Spring Festival, Guangguang participated in "Boonie Bears: The Transformation", and it was only a co-production...

It didn't participate in other live-action movies at all!

It must be released in a movie to make a presence.

"Time Travel" is very suitable...

It is small in size, and it can make back the investment with 100 million yuan. The lead actor Shen Liang is very popular, so there is a lot of room for hype!

Then it's this one!

As for Xu Zheng, he considered that if it is released on 520, it will be sandwiched between "Avengers 3: Infinity War" (released on May 11) and "Solo: A Star Wars Story" (released on May 25). It will be easily surrounded by dumplings...

Shen Liang's opinion...

Xu Zheng doesn't care much. It's just a promotional movie, a light romantic comedy, and at most it will be a road show, and it will be over in a week or so!

What?

The promotion period will be extended if the box office is a big hit?

How much can it be a hit?

The box office is no more than 500 million...
