I didn't want to be an actor

"Congratulations, "Heroes of Fire" has a good reputation!"

"...I'm not the leading actor..."

"You can't say that. "Heroes of Fire" is a men's drama. If you can make a difference in it and contribute memory points, it's already very difficult!"

Yang Zi smiled: "Thank you."

Shen Liang waved his hand: "Just telling the truth!"

"Next Wednesday, "When the Sun Shines" will be released?"

"Hmm...how many games do you want to book?"

Yang Zi was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"As a good friend, don't you think you'd be nice if you didn't book the whole show?"

"...Then why don't you book "Heroes of Fire"?"

Shen Liang immediately retorted: "It's not like you're starring in it, so why should I book the show?"

"...Okay, okay, I guarantee two games..."

"Twenty games... ok, I didn't expect Sister Zi to support me so much..."

"It's two games..."

"Is our friendship worth two games?"

"Five games is enough!"

"Let's make it ten games!"

Yang Zi looked helpless: "Okay, okay, ten games are ten games..."

"How about twenty games? I'll be nicer to you later and praise you more..."

Yang Zi couldn't hold it in any longer and grabbed Shen Liang's arm: "I'll bite you to death."

"...One bite plus fifty...come on, bite me to death!"

"...Then I won't bite. It's too expensive."

Yang Zi let go of Shen Liang's arm and talked about Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo from "The Sun Shines"...

"Chen Qing Ling" has become a hit recently!

The number of views has exceeded 4 billion and is still increasing, and the Weibo topic weight has exceeded 30 billion!

The data of Douyin, Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu have all exploded!

Especially Kuaishou, which directly surpassed "Want to See You"...

By the way, many people say that "Chen Qing Ling" is popular because of its plot, costumes, styling, and scenes, not because of its beauty...

Damn it, it’s not Danmei, how can it attract fans like this?

What's the difference between "Xia Jian Jian Zhi Zhi", "Young Travels - One Inch of Love" and "Young Song Xing"?

Including the director of "Chen Qing Ling" Zheng Weiye later filmed "Le You Yuan", "Please Jun"...

"Please" is iQiyi's flagship S+ project. After it was aired, it received a lot of attention, and many people even had never heard of the show!

Pulling it back, Yang Zi looked envious: "I estimate that "Sunshine Shines" will definitely break 100 million on its first day!"

Shen Liang shook his head: "The box office of "The Last Night on Earth" on the first day was 260 million... "The Sun Shines" is a big boring movie..."

"Art film?"

"Almost... let's go, fans may be impatient..."

"oh,"

…

"Honey Stewed Squid" comes to an end.

iQiyi invites VIP members and fans to watch the finale live.

A lot of people did come...

Shen Liang walked out holding Yang Zi's hand, and the scene was filled with excitement: "Han Shangyan, Tong Nian!"

"…Low-key! Low-key!"

Shen Liang waved to the audience and then sang "The Unknown".

Yang Zi also sang the ending song "Milk Bread" of "Honey Stewed Squid" live...

After watching the finale, an audience member asked: "You said during the live broadcast that you only accepted "Honey Stewed Squid" because Yang Zi starred in it? Is that true?"

"Yes!" Shen Liang nodded: "I read the original work, and I personally think that only Yang Zi can play Tong Nian..."

"Is it possible to have a relationship with Yang Zi?"

Shen Liang smiled: "I shoot several movies a year, and I play a couple who have to be together. I feel that I don't respect the actresses very much..."

"Is it possible to continue cooperation?"

"It depends on the script..."

"Then what type of role do you want to try next?"

"...As long as the script is suitable, I won't pick it!"

…

This summer, two hit dramas, "Want to See You" and "Honey Stewed Squid", both have Shen Liang as the leading actor!

Moreover, "Want to See You" was created by Shen Liang.

iQiyi has great ideas for Shen Liang...

There are many top actors, but Shen Liang is the only one who can create a blockbuster movie by himself!

What's more, Shen Liang also produced a phenomenal variety show like "Sister Lang".

But... iQiyi and Shen Liang have nothing in common.

If there is no intersection, how can we look for intersection?

They also know that Shen Liang is very picky about acting. First, the script must be passed, and then the production team must be reliable...

But they also know that Shen Liang has good acting skills and good popularity with the audience. The most important thing is... he never interferes in the production, as long as he signs the actor contract...

Of course, Shen Liang's remuneration is quite high. The remuneration here does not refer to the actual remuneration received, but to the investment...

In fact, Shen Liang's own remuneration is very low, including "The Imperial Gift of a Little Couple", he only received 20 million in remuneration, but his company took 30% of the investment rights, and the subsequent profits accounted for 40%...

But whether a work can be approved and at what level, the status of the leading actor is very important.

For example, if Shen Liang hadn't decided to star in "The Legend of the Goddess", it would have been rated A-level. But when Shen Liang appeared, it immediately became S+, a key project of Tengxun!

I forgot to write the last chapter...

In fact, in addition to suspense dramas, iQiyi also produces a batch of period dramas and anti-gang dramas every year!

"The World", "Hurry", "The Road of Life", and "The Wind Blowing Pinellia" are all produced by iQiyi...

Therefore, after the celebration banquet, someone from iQiyi asked Shen Liang what themes he was interested in.

Shen Liang originally wanted to talk about the suspense genre, but he was more interested in "Crazy"...

So, answer: “I’m interested in the anti-black genre…”

"Anti-black?"

"Well, it fits the social hot spots, the theme of cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil..."

Anti-gang?

"...There is a very good script called "The Silent Truth", are you interested?"

"...Is that a suspense crime theme?"

"The Silent Truth" is "The Long Night"!

A young prosecutor would rather give up everything, youth, family, career, and even life, just to uphold justice for people who have nothing to do with him.

His friends and family also set up this big game with him for the same goal, just to attract the attention and investigation of all high-level officials, and bring those high-ranking officials to justice...

This drama...is actually not very good, and the high score mainly comes from its huge political scale!

But in terms of plot, lines, and acting, they can't compare with "Secret" and "Long", the plot is dragged out, the lines are stiff...

"Do you know this drama?"

Shen Liang nodded: "I've been asked... but I don't have time..."

"We can wait until you have time to shoot..."

Shen Liang shook his head: "You should find someone else, this script is good, anyone can play it... I have signed up for the second half of this year and next year!"

"...Then will there be a chance to cooperate in the future?"

"Yes."

Shen Liang thought that was the end, and then the person in charge asked again: "Brother Liang, have you ever thought about filming a costume drama?"

"... Let's read the script. If the script is suitable, I don't mind playing one!"

"... Yes, I know!"

Shen Liang added: "I'm telling the truth. I still have some ideas about costume dramas."

The person in charge of iQiyi was a little surprised...

Because the general consensus in the industry: Who is willing to write a good script for a costume drama?

Most screenwriters pursue suspenseful reality dramas. Ancient idol dramas, which are industrial saccharine dramas for ordinary audiences, are only worthy of bad scripts written by bad screenwriters...
