I didn't want to be an actor

The veteran actors in the crew were very enthusiastic towards Shen Liang, except because Shen Liang himself was very respectful - he didn't even have an assistant!

Most importantly, the news that Shen Liang starred in "The Awakening Age" for free and donated his salary to the Martyrs Memorial Hall has been a hot search topic for several days...

"The Age of Awakening" is considered a hit before it is aired...

Don’t think that period dramas with revolutionary themes are just for the taking...

When traffic floods the circle, this type of drama is one that no one cares about.

Including "Ask the Cangmang" after "The Age of Awakening", the Douban score is as high as 8.9, but the discussion on the entire network is very low...

In fact, "Ask the Cangmang" is a serious drama or a period drama with a revolutionary theme and is treated normally!

Actors put out a drama and work hard to create their characters. Not only do they want to become popular, but they at least hope that their roles will be seen by more people.

Shen Liang joined "The Awakening Age", which gave many actors hope...

Among young actors, Shen Liang is unique.

Many people say that "Cohabitation in Time and Space" and "The Wandering Earth" are just luck, and his performance was not good...

But in the film and television market, business is king, regardless of whether he is lucky or not. "Cohabitation in Time and Space" has 1.27 billion, and "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 5 billion, and he is the number one male protagonist.

This is an indisputable fact.

It is also true that every move has a lot of media attention.

Therefore, his announcement to star in "The Age of Awakening" is equivalent to saving tens of millions in promotional expenses.

Of course, there are still concerns - acting.

Although Yu and Wei made a guarantee, seeing is believing and hearing is believing...

So, Shen Liang’s first scene, a bunch of people gathered around...

Chen Yannian was doing hard work when he appeared on the stage. He was dressed in ragged clothes and looked childish...but his eyes were full of determination, like stars and a sea of ​​stars.

This is the script...

There are no lines.

The acting... was not difficult, just carrying a bag - in order to help an old man with an injured leg avoid being bullied by officers and soldiers, he and his brother Chen Qionian were willing to use their slightly thin bodies to complete the work for the old man.

Shen Liang weighed it naturally, then picked up the heavier one...

One shot took more than half an hour.

After giving his brother Qiao Nian (Ma Qiyue) a bottle of water and taking a sip himself, Shen Liang walked up to Zhang Yongxin: "Director, have you passed?"

"...passed..."

"Then I'll go and rest first!"

"Don't you look at it?"

"You are the director, I won't watch it..."

Shen Liang... Actually, my shoulder hurts a bit. It's not because of the weight of the thing on my back. The main reason is that the thing is made of pure hemp. The shoulder is red when rubbed, and there are even blood marks...

Yu Hewei noticed that Shen Liang's expression was a little uncomfortable and walked over: "Are you okay?"

"...It's okay, I just need to apply some medicine when I go back..."

"The crew should have some. I'll ask them to get you some."

"No need," Shen Liang looked at Chen Jiadong who had already run over: "My assistant has already brought it back!"

"If you can't bear it, you can call a substitute."

"What's so overwhelming about this? It's mainly because I'm not used to it..." After a pause, Shen Liang continued: "I read the introduction. When Comrade Yannian was arrested, he was dressed in rough clothes and claimed to be a hired man. The cook has not revealed his identity... so his image should be no different from that of a farmer... I am still a little too clean. "

…

"Alita" had a box office of over 600 million in the first week it was released. Under its suppression, "The Wandering Earth" had a weekly box office of just over 300 million, but it is guaranteed to have a total box office of over 5 billion!

This week "How to Train Your Dragon 3" and "Green Book" were released, and the film schedule of "The Wandering Earth" was reduced to about 12%. On working days, the single-day box office fell below 10 million for the first time...

In terms of stamina, it's still a lot worse than "Wolf Warrior 2"!

It is basically impossible to break the record of "Wolf Warrior 2".

But it’s enough…

"The Wandering Earth" has completely opened the door to Chinese science fiction. More importantly, this is the real feedback from the audience!

Such impressive box office results were achieved without any tricks such as water injection, venue locking, or box office relocation. It was all achieved by using actual movie tickets in hand.

Compared with those film elements favored by capital in recent years, "The Wandering Earth" has almost no elements.

The whole picture does not use computer special effects, but it is very laborious and time-consuming to build the scene;

The actors do not look for popular stars, but only suitable and capable actors, and try to keep the pay as low as possible;

The special effects are not superstitious to the sophisticated Hollywood, but are slowly explored in collaboration with many domestic companies.

Even the original work of "The Wandering Earth" is not a big IP - Liu Cixin's "The Wandering Earth" has been written for decades, and no one has ever thought of using it to make a movie...

"Many people on the Internet say that "The Wandering Earth" became a hit because it praised patriotism..."

"What the hell? Patriotism? Does this have anything to do with patriotism?

I have no idea how a film like "The Wandering Earth", which eulogizes the feeling of a community with a shared future for all mankind, can be attributed to patriotism.

For some people, it is difficult to get them to admit that a movie made by others with hard work is an excellent movie, but it is easy to flatter others when they use patriotism to make bad money! "

Shen Liang was interviewed by the crew of "The Age of Awakening" and naturally asked about "The Wandering Earth"...

"Then what do you think is the main reason for the success of "The Wandering Earth"? Is it because it is in the spotlight of domestic science fiction?"

"How can there be so many outlets?" Shen Liang was speechless: "The most fundamental reason why a movie can sell well is because of the movie itself... Some people said before that "Wolf Warrior 2" sold well because of patriotism, and then there was a "Sky Hunter", which was also patriotism... Movies, first of all, you have to be good-looking!"

"Then..."

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about "Awakening Age"!"

"...I heard that you play Chen Yannian?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes, Mr. Zhongfu's eldest son... a revolutionary martyr."

"Why did you think of taking this role?"

Shen Liang pondered for a moment, then said: "I never understood why someone would become a traitor..."

Well, he repeated what Song Zaogao said , and then said: "The significance of "Awakening Age" is to let us understand the difficult history of the contemporary era, correctly recognize their greatness, be grateful for their sacrifices, cherish the present, live up to every minute, and do something meaningful... Now I have some influence, and I am willing to use this influence on this kind of drama..."

"In addition, the script of "Awakening Age" is very good, and I have always wanted to work with the director Zhang Yongxin's team... So, I came!"

"... Thank you Shen Liang! I wish "Awakening Age" all the best!"

The reporter probably didn't expect Shen Liang to say so deeply. He was silent for a few seconds and said thank you sincerely.

"You're welcome..."

...

After returning to the room, Shen Liang sat down and received a call from Lu Yang.

He said he wanted to invite Yang Mi to come and play a cameo role...

"Is there a female character in "Underground Fire"?

"...The female teacher at the end..."

Yes, "Underground Fire" ends with a group of elementary school students visiting the coal museum 100 years later and concluding that "people in the past were really stupid, people in the past were really stupid", so...the teacher who takes care of the children can be a female teacher!

"…Forget about this kind of thing, I'll talk to her about it..."

"Well, you're recording a variety show with her, it's just right to talk about it!"

Lu Yang hung up the phone, and Shen Liang hesitated - how to bring it up?

Oh, he didn't take the initiative to contact his idol these days...

After all, something unspeakable happened.
