I didn't want to be an actor

Shen Liang's mother is called Zhao Jiping. Like Shen Liang's father, she was the leader of China Film Group's cinemas. The year before last, she was transferred to the headquarters and started administrative work...

She always wanted her son to be an actor.

The word "actor" is not appropriate. In fact, it means engaging in acting.

Because you earn more, get money quickly, and have a high status...

In the past, it was difficult for actors to work within the system, and their earnings were not much more than ordinary people...

It's different now. Many people with connections and backgrounds in the industry know how easy it is to make money in the entertainment industry, and they are scrambling to send their offspring in.

For this group of people, there are only so many resources, so of course they have to focus on their own people!

Then Zhao Jiping knew that there was a scene to be filmed, so it was normal for him to look for his son.

Shen Liang doesn’t want to be an actor at all…

Being an actor is too troublesome. It takes at least three months to film a scene...

If you are not famous, you cannot make money. If you are famous, it will be even more troublesome. When you become a big star, your moral flaws will be discussed in various ways...

An Internet celebrity like him with a "dark history" should go to act and wait for his house to collapse...

But he must obey his mother's kindness, so he nodded: "I will definitely go the day after tomorrow...but let me say it first, if I don't like it, I won't act!"

"Don't worry, I talked to that director and he is a good director!"

"Who is the director...Mom...Mom..."

Hang up...

Shen Liang also hung up the phone. Facing the searching eyes of Yang Di and Liu Wei, he shrugged: "My mother called and introduced me to a film crew for an audition..."

Yang Di asked in a low voice: "Who is your mother..."

"She is a small leader of China Film Group... Let's go and eat!"

Liu Wei: "Wow, then you have a background!"

Shen Liang was speechless: "With a fart background, has China Film Group ever made any good films?"

"You can't say that...China Film..."

Shen Liang waved his hand: "No more chatting. I'm an internet celebrity singer. I don't have time to film..."

…

"Xiao Shen reacts very quickly and is very suitable for "Mars"!"

"...No, I hope everyone gives me a chance...Thank you, Brother Han!"

At the dinner, Wang Han praised Shen Liang, and Shen Liang quickly stood up and thanked...

"Behave well..."

People from Youku also spoke: "Shen Liang has no idol baggage and is very suitable for variety shows..."

"I don't follow the idol route, so why do I need the baggage of being an idol..."

During the dinner, Shen Liang was definitely not the central figure, and the topic quickly shifted to the program "Mars". Someone from Youku asked Wang Han: "Brother Han, you have done many programs, what do you think needs to be improved in "Mars"? "

"I've done very little online variety show... Li Wei, what do you think?"

Producer Li Wei (not the nanny king, the same name) nodded: "I have been thinking, I think we can add a 3 to 5 minute short plot, let Lu Si and Shen Liang play..."

People from Youku: "Add a subplot?"

"Yes, you can look at the feedback later," Li Wei smiled and told the people at Youku: "If it's not suitable, just cut it!"

Li Wei looked at Shen Liang: "Does Shen Liang have any ideas?"

Shen Liang was surprised: "What do I have to say...You are trying to flatter me..."

"Then it's settled, let's try a small plot next time..."

Wang Han looked at Shen Liang and suddenly said: "If Xiao Shen has nothing to do the day after tomorrow, come and record "Tian Tian Shang Shang"!"

Shen Liang was a little embarrassed: "I have to go to Qingdao the day after tomorrow to audition for a play..."

Li Wei asked casually: "A trial? Did your company contact you?"

"almost…"

"Then we should try hard and strive for full bloom..."

Shen Liang was distressed: "...I haven't even studied acting, so I guess it would be in vain if I went there."

"It's okay. Everyone here has acted. Can you ask me for advice... Yang Di has filmed Zhou Xingchi's movie!"

Yang Di quickly answered: "My role in the film was purely because Director Zhou Xingchi took a fancy to my appearance... But I did gain a lot from "Conquering the Demons"..."

"How to say?"

"Mr. Zhou said to me, 'Because your face is so exaggerated, you are the funniest if you act serious!' This sentence touched me particularly, which means that I already have the basis for comedy. How can I On this basis, add some chips...eloquence, responsiveness..."

"That's right. You can only be famous for a short time based on your appearance. If you want it to last long, you must add some content..."

…

The crew Zhao Jiping mentioned is called "The Wandering Earth"...

China Film’s key projects!

At the end of 2014, China Film Group announced an ambitious 24-film plan, including three science fiction films, including "Micro Era", "Supernova Era" and "The Wandering Earth"...

The media has been advocating for the so-called first year of science fiction. China Film Group must be the big brother!

But the list of films belongs to the list of films. Whether to do it, how to do it, and who to find is still a question.

How to make a science fiction movie?

Do you expect those fifth-generation directors to shoot science fiction?

Do you want to help them build the moon?

Then Liu Cixin won the Hugo Award for Best Novel Award at the 73rd World Science Fiction Conference for "The Three-Body Problem", becoming the first Asian winner...

Moreover, a group of loyal readers of the "Three-Body" novel are from the upper class, and they should have mentioned it. This matter 'boosted' China Film's confidence in recruiting Guo Fan...

Guo Fan has always wanted to make science fiction. He was given three movies to choose from, and he chose "The Wandering Earth"...

After two years of preparation, filming was about to begin, and then the leading actor slipped away!

In fact, this is quite normal. "The Wandering Earth" is a science fiction film...

Before 2019, not many people were willing to believe that Chinese people could also make a science fiction blockbuster with box office success and special effects close to Hollywood standards.

There was no precedent for successful domestic science fiction films before.

Although Liu Cixin's reputation was very strong at this time, but... his highly anticipated big IP movie "The Three-Body Problem" gathered many first-line stars, Feng Shaofeng, Zhang Jingchu, Wu Gang, Tang Yan, Du Chun... It was stillborn and never saw the light of day.

So no one was optimistic about the prospects of this "The Wandering Earth" film.

Not to mention people in the industry or even ordinary audiences, they would not think this project was reliable.

Moreover, the cost of "The Wandering Earth" is only 80 million...

The plot involves four major scenes: underground city, ice field, planetary engine and space station. Almost all scenes require a lot of on-site settings, especially the visual effects shots of the whole film are expected to exceed 90%...

Director Guo Fan's idea is to wait until the ground line is finished, use these materials as capital, and go to Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu Wai, talk about ideals and ambitions one by one, and try to persuade (fool) them and invite them to join...

The problem is that the original male lead is a star...

There are invitations for other projects!

Anyone would think that this crew and this director are really unreliable, so they ran away shortly after the start of filming, and paid 50,000 yuan in salary very readily, just as a penalty for breach of contract...

Guo Fan was anxious.

This has just begun, and the male lead actually ran away?

It happened that the people from China Film came to inspect the work, and Zhao Jiping was also an accompanying staff. When she heard about this, she directly recommended her son.

"My son is quite popular... Let him try!"

"... Your son?"

"Shen Liang..."
