I didn't want to be an actor

In fact, Liu Qi is just a witness to "The Wandering Earth"!

This is very anti-Hollywood...

Judging from the necessity of the protagonist, Liu Qi did not promote the plot, but only provided a perspective.

In the first half of the movie, whether he encountered an earthquake while being imprisoned, or encountered a rescue team requisitioning a vehicle during the evacuation, and was forced to join Hangzhou Engine's rescue plan, Liu Qi was always in a state of being passively driven by fate.

Until he met Li Yiyi by chance and joined the mission to rescue the steering engine in Sulawesi.

For the first time, Liu Qicai actively chose to be a savior.

The road to hero begins?

After all, there has been so much preparation ahead, the skills have been demonstrated, the character has been revealed, and the setbacks have been experienced. The subsequent transformation and rise should be natural, right?

Then, after going through many difficulties and dangers, when they were about to reach Sulawesi, they discovered that another rescue team had arrived ahead of them...

The only explanation was Wang Lei's light "saturation rescue".

Even though the space station announced that the Wandering Earth Plan had failed, Liu Qi suddenly thought of detonating Jupiter and felt that there was hope for saving the world. However, he was told that scientists had thought of the same plan and rejected it seven hours earlier.

He kept trying without giving up, and finally succeeded in igniting the engine. When the camera turned, the engines in two other places were also ignited - someone was doing the same thing as the protagonist at the same time.

It can be said that The Wandering Earth has no protagonist. The reason why I saw Liu Qi was just because the director set up the camera next to him!

All meaningful things are not accomplished by the protagonist alone.

This is not a bug, but intentional.

What the movie wants to express is that in the face of the end of the world, it is not a certain "chosen person" who saves the earth, but "humanity" as a whole.

——There has never been a savior. In the face of planet-level disasters, mobilizing the power of all mankind is the most critical!

A community with a shared future for mankind.

For a movie like this, it doesn’t actually require the actors to have extremely high acting skills. Just make sure they don’t appear in the scene...

Shen Liang's acting is very relaxed, and his appearance is hard-core, which is naturally suitable for the role of Liu Qi. Otherwise, Guo Fan would not have targeted him as soon as they met...

But it's not without problems.

There are a lot of scenes that require emotional outbursts, but he doesn't feel like they can explode!

It is difficult for people who are too rational to really get into the role. At this time, the director needs to be trained...

Of course, Shen Liang still has to learn and understand more on his own!

Therefore, he often consults the actors in the crew, such as Wu Mengda, Li Guangjie, and now Lei Datou...

…

"I think acting is about interpreting another person. The most important thing is that you have to understand the character's thoughts, behavioral logic, and motivations..."

"I know this, but I have no way to replace it!"

"...why?"

"I don't know either…"

"So, do you believe in what you're acting?"

While eating supper, Shen Liang asked Lei Datou for advice, and the latter directly asked the most critical question - sense of belief!

Lei Datou looked at his expression and said: "When we learn acting, the teacher will always emphasize a concept: really listen, really see, really feel. He emphasizes the matter of "truth", and the actors themselves are all involved in the performance. If you can’t believe it, then you won’t believe it as an audience.”

"It's not that I don't believe it...it's just that sometimes I feel like the character shouldn't yell like that..."

"Then have you reacted to the director? During the script reading stage!"

"...That's not true. When I was writing the script, I felt that he should shout at this time... But when I was acting, I suddenly had a feeling that he shouldn't shout..."

Lei Datou commented: "This is a typical withdrawal..."

"Withdraw?"

"Yes, you just detached yourself from the role...the norm for beginners!"

Shen Liang was stunned for a moment and quickly asked: "Have you ever experienced this?"

Lei Datou nodded: "Of course... When we were in school, we often had to rehearse sketches. We would laugh while rehearsing. Laughter is a kind of withdrawal... In your case, you did too little acting..."

Shen Liang was thoughtful...

"Don't worry, you are very relaxed in acting. This is better than most actors. With experience, you will soon be on the right track." Lei Datou took a mouthful of food and then remembered something: "Hey, I have a script, 伱Do you want to take a look?"

"Script? Of course I want to read it..."

Lei Datou rummaged through his pockets: "I didn't bring it... Let me tell you... Gu Xiaojiao, a frustrated young woman in 2018, and Lu Ming, an unambitious young man who just graduated from college from 1999, accidentally lived together because of the overlap of time and space. In the same room…”

Lei Datou gave a rough outline of the story of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" and then asked: "What do you think of this story?"

"Very good, the story line is very complete. To be honest, it is very difficult for romance movies at this stage to have a complete story line. Coupled with the double time travel setting, it is novel and interesting..."

"Are you optimistic about it?"

"Of course, this is your next play?"

Lei Datou did not answer, but asked: "...Do you want to act?"

"...Me? I can't play the role, after all, there will still be real estate tycoon Lu Shiyi nineteen years later!"

"What's so difficult about playing a real estate tycoon? Have you ever seen a real estate tycoon?"

"I saw it on TV..."

"Just meet them before...just act according to their demeanor!"

"No, I saw a report by Ma Weidu on TV. Isn't he doing cultural relic appraisal? He once went to help a real estate tycoon look at something.

How rich is the boss? Regardless of Fortune or Forbes, he ranks first.

When I went there, the boss was in the gym. The boss has his own gym in the company. Ma Weidu was waiting for him in the lobby. When the boss came out, he was wearing short sportswear and a coat. He walked over, followed by a group of employees. Taking long strides, shaking his shoulders like this, his coat shook off, and the employees behind him immediately caught it. It was so steady that the boss didn't even look back.

The boss sat down in front of Ma Weidu and made a scissors gesture with his fingers. The employee behind him immediately put a big cigar between his fingers and took two puffs, one on his elbow. The employee behind him immediately took the cigar away and banged it with a tool. Knock down the ash and then refill it with fire..."

As he spoke, Shen Liang imitated, and Lei Datou found it interesting: "Do you remember it so carefully?"

"What he said was funny, and I know who he was talking about!"

"who?"

"Xu Jiayin!"

"It could be used in a movie!"

Shen Liang chuckled: "There are many bosses who treat their companies as harems..."

Lei Datou became excited and asked Shen Liang directly: "Tell me in detail, tell me in detail..."

Shen Liang told some gossip, for example, "There is a boss who has a twelve-story building in his house." Live on the top floor by yourself, and then there will be eleven floors left, with a wife on each floor. ’, ‘Xu Bo from Tuoyi Network has about ten girlfriends, none of whom has a certificate, and there are at least dozens of children exposed...'

"Dozens? TOEIC Network?"

"Have you ever played "Shenwu"? It's a plagiarism from "Fantasy Westward Journey"... Xu Bo has been recruiting young women on Weibo for a long time to give birth to him..."

"Crazy?"

"They clearly marked the price..."

"This world is so absurd!"

"...But I always believe that everyone in the world has to sleep on the same night..." Shen Liang clinked a drink with him and then asked, "Then who should I look for to take on this role?"

"I recommend you go. Someone will contact you then... How much is your salary?"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "Just give me a little...I don't expect to make money from acting!"

"...You don't expect to make money from acting?"

"I am an all-round entertainer. I can make money by singing, appearing in variety shows, and doing business endorsements."

While the two were drinking, Chen Jiadong came over, first said hello to Lei Datou, and then approached Shen Liang to say something. Shen Liang pushed him away: "What's the matter, just say it!"

"...after "Refrigerator" was broadcast, many netizens attacked us online..."

"Because of the invoice incident?"

"right…"

"It's okay...haven't we already expected this kind of thing?"

"But...it's quite serious this time..."

"How serious can it be? The whole network is black?"

"almost…"
