I didn't want to be an actor

Mary Sue idol drama…

Rouba looked at him in surprise...

How should I put it? In recent years, under the influence of domestic entertainment idol dramas, ‘Mary Sue’ and ‘Jack Sue’ have long become derogatory terms in the minds of the audience.

The term "tyrannical president" already has a hint of humor in it.

Three of the four big oilies are domineering presidents!

"Just take a look at the settings..."

Shen Liang said calmly.

"What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?" is not embarrassing at all...

Several minefields have been avoided: the heroine is set to be stupid, mindless in doing things, and seeking death for nothing;

The male protagonist's performance is greasy, awkward, and has a stiff and concave appearance;

The storyline is old-fashioned, the traces of fabrication are obvious, and the values ​​presented are questionable;

As long as an idol drama avoids the above minefields, it can reach the qualifying line.

The setting of "Secretary Kim" is very reliable. The heroine Jin Xiaoxiao is not only beautiful but also full of skill points.

As the personal secretary of Li Yingjun, the vice director of a large company, he did not get to his position by being cute and stupid.

Jin Xiaoxiao has a strong ability to withstand pressure. She works under the picky Li Yingjun, and will be directly punished if she makes the slightest mistake!

9 years!

For 9 years, Jin Xiaoxiao evolved into an elite talent.

Fluent in English, rigorous in work, high in emotional intelligence, familiar with the leaders' habits and preferences, understanding of the company's various report data, getting up earlier than the boss and going to bed later than the boss, being available on call...

The perfect worker!

No matter which boss has a secretary who is so handy and can solve all troubles, he will never let him go easily.

As for the male protagonist's personality, he is more likeable, tall, rich, handsome, with a high IQ and excellent abilities. These qualities are the characteristics of many male protagonists in idol dramas;

The difference is that several secondary settings have been added to the male protagonist:

One does not like to be touched by women, but he is dating different girlfriends;

The other one: narcissistic, only loves himself, and thinks that it would be a waste of heaven for a proud man like himself to fall in love with any mortal.

This characteristic immediately turns "Secretary Kim" into a hilarious comedy...

The main source of the comedy effect of the show is the middle-class attributes that the male protagonist sometimes leaks, which allows the male protagonist to get rid of the old-fashioned image of playing cool and handsome, and show his cute and lively side.

Rouba quickly read the settings and asked, "A journey to chase my wife?"

"Almost...how about the character setting?"

"...It's very interesting. When will it be filmed?"

"The script is not even finished yet," Shen Liang thought for a while: "After I go back, I will find a few screenwriters to finish the script. Let's wait until next year..."

"So long?"

Shen Liang was curious: "Don't you have any projects to shoot?"

"There is a film called "Long Song Xing"... but the male lead is still being negotiated..."

"Aren't you looking for someone from Jiaxing?"

Rouba shook his head: "...This is Teng Xun's drama."

…

Liang Jiahui, he is one of those practitioners who, although he seems to be praised all over the place, is actually very rare and can feel happiness from the act itself.

Because acting is fun, I have to take on different roles like crazy!

Many people say that he does not have the star power to sell overseas rights, so he can only play supporting roles...

In fact, no, at least in 1992, Tony Leung could single-handedly produce "Black Rose" with a box office of 22.8 million Hong Kong dollars and "New Dragon Inn" with a box office of 21.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which could overwhelm Zhou Yunfa's "Dirty Detective" and "High and High".

In 1993, "Rose, Rose, I Love You" (21.9 million Hong Kong dollars) relied on being cheap to reach the top of the box office list. "New Brothers in Trouble" (21.36 million Hong Kong dollars) surpassed "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "Water Margin", and "Once Upon a Time" A real big movie like "The Chicken Fights the Centipede".

——"Rose, Rose, I Love You" can carry this kind of film, but you said it has no screen charm? Can't afford the box office?

After careful analysis, it is not difficult to imagine the reason why Liang Jiahui quickly lost his ability to carry the box office. The reason is almost obvious: after those two years, including those two years, Liang Jiahui took on a large number of movies that could not carry the box office at all. Moreover, he has acted as a voice actor in quite a few movies in a non-guest role, with all kinds of people.

For example: In 1995, Zhang Min tried to stand on his own due to the cold winter of Hong Kong movies and started a movie project. The same movie ended up with two movies, a high-end version of "Chasing Girls 95: Sweet Dreams", A low-profile version of "The Dreamer of One Thousand and One Nights", a big production and a small production.

Liang Jiahui played the low-end version of the small production, and Liu Qingyun played the high-end version of the big production.

Although it can be said that there must be various hidden reasons behind this, but it was 1995, and there was no way that Liang Jiahui's popularity could not be compared to Liu Qingyun!

Let’s take a look at film history. Can you find another person with such a wild approach to filming?

The key is that he is not short of money...

——Except for Liang Jiahui, all the stars who have reached this star status have worked hard to maintain their star status. It is obviously more profitable to maintain the superstar position than Liang Jiahui's approach.

If he is willing to manage his personal brand expectations well, there is no problem in maintaining the second level, that is, the top 10 level. But he doesn't care about this at all. He will accept any drama and whether it can make money or gain reputation. Take all the dramas...

There can only be one explanation: he likes acting and trying different acting methods...

Therefore, he couldn't stand Wang Jiawei - he didn't let him express himself and dragged him there for a whole year!

Because acting is fun, I don’t care how your project is, as long as I am satisfied with the role, that’s more important than anything else.

A very smart and self-aware actor, as long as he has enough food and drink, the stage is his happiness.

In "East is West", he was so satisfied with his performance that he made Wang Jiawei burst out the emotions that he had suppressed for a year!

By the way, can his acting skills be compared with Liang Chaowei?

Most likely not, after all, Liang Jiahui can’t play the Mandarin!

However, "Midnight Diner"... is really bad.

Shen Liang has always been curious about why Liang Jiahui wanted to shoot "Midnight Diner"...

When we met, he asked him directly, and Liang Jiahui explained himself: "The Japanese film company stipulated that there must be an izakaya when selling the copyright, and the protagonist's outfit must be exactly the same as the original...including the scar on his face..."

"...The key is that there is no izakaya culture in China!"

"I didn't think so much at the time. The boss asked me to shoot it, and I also liked this comic, so I shot it..."

Liang Jiahui's version of "Midnight Diner" was approved in 2017. That year, "The Devotion of Suspect X" was a great success, and many big directors entered the market, "Legend of the Demon Cat", "The Chase", and then a bunch of Japanese IP projects were approved, "The Convenience Store of Stories", "Portrait of 19 Years Old in Summer", "Qinghe Boys High School" (adapted from "Hot Blood High School"), "Little Q", and of course "Midnight Diner"...

"In fact, after shooting, I felt that there was a problem, so it was delayed for two years before it was released...and it still failed!"

"...I didn't expect the market to change so quickly!"
