I didn't want to be an actor

The last shot is Chen Guilin's execution...

In fact, Chen Guilin's life has no meaning, and he has no regrets after death.

He is a bad guy with principles, but he is still a bad guy in essence.

Only by going to death and actively obeying the judgment of the law can he completely wash away the label of a bad guy and become a "human being"

Of course, only by going to death can the logic of the script be smooth-easy to pass the review!

Scriptwriting is not the first art, screenwriter is just a profession, and this profession makes money by selling the stories he wrote.

There are many ways to write this ending, for example, Chen Guilin got lung cancer and died in prison;

Or he didn't kill the venerable and died himself, but eventually called the police and uncovered the conspiracy of the xie cult, and people felt sorry for this warrior...

Although this is realistic, it feels like a disgusting story. You feel good about it, but who will you tell it to?

Who will pay for your story and hundreds of filmmakers?

How many audiences will like such an ending?

Movies are something that ultimately needs to be paid for by the audience!

Back to the death penalty scene, it was quite complicated, but Shen Liang performed very well, and it was almost done in one take.

But the whole audience was silent, just staring at Tsui Hark, and then he stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "The shooting of "Zhou Chu" is over!"

"Wow!"

The staff on the scene applauded...

Then, the on-site executive director shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone has worked hard! Meet at XX Hotel later..."

"Don't worry!"

"We will definitely go..."

While responding, he cleaned the shooting site with his hands and feet...

Shen Liang took off his coat and changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt, which was a little cooler. He wanted to take a taxi with Rouba, and then saw Wen Yongshan driving over: "Get in the car!"

"Uh, I'll wait for Rouba!"

"She and the assistant director have already gone."

"Okay then!"

Shen Liang couldn't refuse, so he got on the beautiful sports car.

...

"Are you going back to the mainland?"

"Yeah."

"Are the mainland cinemas still unblocked?"

"Probably not yet..."

Wen Yongshan asked a few questions casually while driving.

Shen Liang answered honestly.

After one play, their relationship has not yet developed. Shen Liang has a principle: never get involved with a married woman.

And the paparazzi culture in Hong Kong is so developed...

Once something happens, it will definitely be reported.

Most importantly, the paparazzi are watching closely...

It is not far from the hotel, and it took almost 20 minutes to drive.

The two of them arrived at the door.

They were still late, and several guys had already gone upstairs.

However, the director had not arrived yet, so naturally they could not start the meal. Everyone waited for a while, and the crew members went in in twos and threes.

About half an hour later, Tsui Hark appeared with his girlfriend, who is also his assistant, named Lele...

Lele has short hair and is a little chubby. Her temperament and appearance are quite ordinary, far inferior to Nansun Shi...

Although Nansun Shi is over 60 years old, she has a kind of chic and capableness that is unique to strong women...

To be honest, Shen Liang was quite surprised when he saw Lele for the first time, because this girl is not considered a beauty...

I was very curious about what Tsui Hark saw in her.

Tsui Hark and Sally Yeh were very close when they were filming "Swordsman and Female"...

It can be seen that he is not dislike of beautiful women!

In the film "Swordsman", Sally Yeh played Ren Yingying at first, and later it was replaced by Zhang Min.

What does Lele have?

Maybe she is young?

Who knows...

But Lele didn't marry him, and Tsui Hark didn't need an engagement.

It's not appropriate to say that she is a mistress...after all, Nansun Shi didn't blame her.

In fact, there were not many people, only three tables were set up. Shen Liang, Liang Jiahui, Wu Zhenyu, Rouba and Wen Yongshan accompanied Xu Ke.

Nansheng Shi did not come. I heard from Rouba that she went home...

By the way, Rouba got along well with her, and the two of them agreed to travel to the United States together when they were free...

The process of the wrap-up banquet was basically fixed. First, they raised their glasses together, then got familiar with the people at the same table, and then toasted the leaders one by one, and then they found their own partners to show their closeness, had a glass of wine and chatted for a few words, and finally, those who were already familiar with each other gathered in groups of three or two to chat until the party ended.

The process has reached the third step...

Get together and chat.

"Are you all going back to the mainland to shoot directly?"

"It will take 14 days of quarantine!"

Wen Yongshan asked Rouba in a low voice.

"…Are you making a movie?"

"A TV series, I've been waiting for a long time..."

"…There may be very few film projects in the mainland at this stage."

"But I heard that Brother Liang..."

"Brother Liang is different," Rouba shook his head: "He is not an ordinary actor, and the task films assigned by the superiors can fill his schedule!"

"Task films?"

"What are you talking about?"

Shen Liang interrupted, and Rouba explained: "Talking about the schedule for the future..."

"What else can be arranged, filming."

Shen Liang replied casually, and then Tsui Hark poked his head: "What are you talking about? Mysterious?"

"Nothing, just chatting casually, come on, director, I toast you!"

Shen Liang raised his glass and smiled: "Thank you for your guidance during this period."

"Yes, director, I toast you too!" Rouba and Wen Yongshan also raised their glasses...

Several people drank and automatically gathered together. Tsui Hark asked again: "How are you, what are your plans recently?"

"Back to the mainland, several dramas are waiting for me!"

"What about Rouba?"

"Me too..."

"You are all the most popular ones!"

Tsui Hark smiled and asked Shen Liang: "You have been nominated for the Academy Awards, will you come?"

"... It depends on the situation. If you can take leave, try to take leave. If you can't, forget it."

Oh, Shen Liang was nominated for Best New Actor and Best Supporting Actor for "The Devil".

"The Devil" is a co-production, with a local box office of 34 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, exceeding the 31.37 million of "Integrity", ranking first in the annual Chinese film!

Of course, Shen Liang doesn't care about this box office at all-even if it is the first Chinese film, it is not in the top ten. The tenth place in the local box office in Hong Kong is "Furious 2" with 37.35 million Hong Kong dollars...

"Furious 2" is "Fast and Furious: Hobbs \u0026 Shaw".

In addition, "The Devil" received seven nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design. With Best Supporting Actor and Best New Actor, it is nine nominations!

It is considered a big nominee!

But the probability of winning the grand prize is not high...

Shen Liang himself has no special idea about the Academy Awards, and he will probably not come to the scene - he will have to be quarantined for 14 days after coming back.

Liang Jiahui interrupted: "Have you talked to Shi Sir?"

"Not yet... She is still waiting for the script!"

Shen Liang thought he was asking about "Shushan"...

"... I mean the Academy Awards!"

"I don't care much about this. If I can win, I will win. If I can't, I don't care!"

"You have a really good mentality!"

"That's not as good as Mr. Wu Zhenyu!"

Wu Zhenyu heard his name and interrupted: "Ah? What's the matter?"

Liang Jiahui: "I'm talking about your good mentality!"

"What mentality?"

"Academic Awards!"

Wu Zhenyu smiled and didn't say anything...

Wu Zhenyu...really a runner-up!
