I didn't want to be an actor

In fact, the ratings of "Awakening Age" are not high...

Even at the beginning, Douban's score was only 8.3 points!

The first time it went viral was when a young teacher appeared. It was a two-minute "pantomime" (all the main characters did not say a word). Through his running, various metaphors and synecdoche images appeared one after another, depicting the contradictions, conflicts, and helplessness of old China in the great era...

After a tense background music sounded, it was revealed that there was a sudden heavy rain in Changsha, and all kinds of people on the street were hiding from the rain, rushing on the road, or begging for food.

Before the teacher appeared, a long shot was given to a farmer leading a cow:

Then, a team of soldiers on horseback with guns on their backs galloped arrogantly on the street, and passers-by were in a panic and avoided everywhere:

Then, the young teacher, holding a stack of "Youth Magazine", ran out:

Then, with his eyes, we saw one contradiction after another, one conflict after another: the last second, he saw the poor children being sold as goods by human traffickers: the next second, we saw the switch to the rich children sitting in a luxury car wearing a suit and eating a sandwich, looking at the people outside the window with cold eyes;

This shot is amazing!

Including Lu Xun's appearance is also awesome: the numb crowd, the ignorant masses, scrambled to get the blood of the revolutionaries to dip their steamed buns, mixed with the scenes described in the novels "Medicine" and "The True Story of Ah Q"...

It is difficult to write a historical drama like this. If it is not written well, it is easy to be like the previous one, and the whole film is a historical plot assembly line.

Watching the whole thing is as boring as reading a history textbook.

It doesn't resonate.

"Awakening Age" is different. It takes Chen Zhongfu as the core, from the initial dilemma of founding the New Youth Magazine, to the opposition between the old and new cultures, to the suppression of Zhang Fengzai's bureaucracy, and then to the climax of the Paris Peace Conference.

Along the way, it was almost unfolded in the mode of upgrading and fighting monsters.

Contradictions and obstacles appeared one by one, and he resolved them one by one.

It's quite refreshing!

Why not shoot afterwards?

Afterwards, we all know that the teacher reborn this huge and broken machine from the flames of hell.

Before that, hundreds of millions of people died tragically in this flame and did not see the light.

Civilization cannot defeat barbarism in a civilized way after all.

The law of blood and fire is destined to accept blood and fire that is redder and more intense than it.

It's cruel. We know that heads are rolling, and what's even more sad is that these rolling heads are contributed by Principal Cai!

He is the hero of the purge and the creator of the death list!

Ahem, Shen Liang said during the live broadcast: "I filmed "Awakening Age" for four months, and the whole drama took eight months...

I'm fine, most of the audience don't know much about Chen Yannian, and the records are not very detailed, so there are many places to play, but other actors are miserable, especially Zhang Tong who plays Li Shouchang..."

"You will know how I acted after watching the drama..."

"It's very easy for me to get into the role. The first scene is to carry a sandbag. I really carry nearly 100 kilograms of things on my body. If my legs and waist don't use strength, it will really be crushed! I filmed for three hours and got into the role directly ..."

"Teachers Yu Hewei and Director Zhang Yongxin came to me and talked to me about the script. I liked it very much, so I accepted it!"

"Pay... How much can I charge for this kind of drama... It must be lower than the market price... I always think that actors should not only make money, but also have a sense of responsibility for the times and society..."

"Including "Peak Explosion" and "Changjin Lake", I paid less than the market price..."

...

Recently, "Send You a Little Red Flower" became a hit. In the first weekend + New Year's Day, it took 761 million box office in four days...

The leading actors are Yi Yang Qianxi and Liu Haochun.

Originally, this movie had nothing to do with Shen Liang...

But I don't know where the marketing account came from and said, "Shen Liang rejected the offer, and then Yi Yang Qianxi took it."...

Maybe the original intention of this marketing account was "Yi Yang Qianxi can only take projects that Shen Liang doesn't like." As a result, it was "misinterpreted" by Yi Yang Qianxi's fans. A bunch of fans "thanked" Shen Liang for not acting, and even equated Shen Liang with Huang Xiaoming-the rejected drama became popular!

This method is too low-level, just like the Beijing School that was once very popular-Wu Jing's speech.

Want to label Shen Liang.

But every movie of Shen Liang is very popular.

Just force it...

However, Shen Liang did not respond to this matter.

But Shen Liang's fans scolded him very fiercely...

Brother Liang doesn't manage the fan circle, but his team still has contact with fans...

Although he doesn't need to do data, hit the charts, and fans pick him up at the airport, and doesn't do fan circle stuff, but he has too many fans, with more than 40 million fans on Weibo, and most of them are active fans!

When there are too many people, it is easy to get confused. Planning is definitely needed!

Moreover, although I don’t want to admit it, Shen Liang’s label still has traffic...

Traffic fans have many bad habits, and his fans also have them.

He has never lost in swearing!

After all, Shen Liang has also slammed many people along the way, and even sent some top streamers to jail. When he was live broadcasting, he didn’t respect some 208s, so his fans naturally got his habits...

When he swears, he really doesn’t have any morals.

These don’t affect Shen Liang...

He is still filming "Changjin Lake"...

...

"... I think this script is very good!"

"... Then what do you think the cost is?"

“It depends on what kind of effect you want.”

Shen Liang showed Shi Nansheng the script of “Shushan: Origin”, and Shi Nansheng was very satisfied and took over the position of producer.

Effect?

Shen Liang pondered for a moment: "...It must amaze the audience!"

"...What does it mean to amaze? Today's audiences have seen all kinds of movies!"

"I'm talking about special effects. I've communicated with the team. Whether it's Shushan or the Blood God Cult of the Blood God, the environment must be barbaric but full of traces of civilization... It must not make people see the opposition between good and evil at first glance..."

"...How much did they quote?"

"At least 300 million," Shen Liang explained: "After all, there are no ready-made templates for these special effects. You have to make the materials and templates yourself, which takes a lot of time..."

When Shi Nansheng heard 300 million, he sighed: "Then it will take at least 500 million to make it look good."

"It's about what I thought..." Shen Liang nodded: "You can contact the actors now..."

"Has the master accepted this play?"

"I didn't tell him... After all, he is busy with "Changjin Lake" now..."

Oh, Tsui Hark is really dedicated to filming. In fact, when filming "Changjin Lake", the director could be away from the filming site, but Tsui Hark refused to enter the studio, saying that he wanted to stay with the actors all the time. Even in the windy and snowy weather, he still did not miss the scene and insisted on fighting side by side with the actors;

And Xu Ke would personally audition, lying directly in the snow and performing the actions himself.

When he was communicating with the actors about the scenes, he would kneel on one knee and sit on the ground, showing great respect for the actors.

He was even worried that the props would be too sharp and hurt the actors, so he personally tried to shoot. For example, there was a ruins scene full of sharp wires and building debris. Xu Ke was worried that the actors would be hurt by the wire mesh, so he tried it himself...

You know, he is an old man over 70 years old!

I really admire him.

Shi Nansheng nodded: "Then when "Changjin Lake" is finished, we will hold a creative meeting and then discuss the selection of actors!"

"Well..."
