I didn't want to be an actor

He Juan immediately got to the point: "Wait a minute, do you have a group?"

Peng Peng glanced at Shen Liang: "Brother Liang, can I say something?"

"You already said it!"

"Yes, we have a group..."

"What is it used for?"

"... A few of us will recommend jobs to each other. If there is a play that comes to us, but we don't have enough schedule, but the script is good, we will send it to the group and let them fight for it..."

"Shouldn't this be the agent's job?"

"But the agent's considerations are different from what we consider. What we consider is the script and the role. The agent may pay more attention to the salary and schedule..."

"Yes," Shen Liang nodded: "Brother Daxun's last drama "Si Teng" took eight months to film... I recommend it!"

Peng Peng interjected: ""I'm Good in a Foreign Country" was also recommended to me by Brother Liang. I read the script and then took the initiative to fight for it. Last year's "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You" was also recommended by Brother Liang. …”

Shen Liang explained: "I know the director Li Mo of "I'm Good in a Foreign Country", and I know his level... plus the script is good, I don't have time to star in it, but my friend has time... As for "I Don't Want to" Tian Yu, the director of "Be Friends with You", is our senior brother at Zhongzhuan... He talked to me about how to shoot this drama... I was very interested, but I didn't have time... Then I recommended Brother Peng Peng! "

Speaking of this, Shen Liang thought of something: "Director Li Mo's new work is called "Sanyue Has a New Job". Sister Nini can give it a try!"

""Sanyue has a new job"?"

"The experience of funeral home makeup artist Zhao Sanyue from being unfamiliar with this profession to a profound understanding of life and death, and dedicated to learning the makeup of corpses... A very niche, but very profound drama... The screenwriter and producer are teacher You Xiaoying..."

You Xiaoying's representative works "Love and Dating", "My Sister"...

"Wait a minute," He Yan asked again: "How many people are in this group?"

"Five, Brother Liang, Brother Daxun, Brother Jiang Qiming and Yibo."

"You all know each other?"

"I have never met brother Jiang Qiming, but I know that he is good at acting... Yibo, I have met him a few times, but he is quite busy..."

He Yan looked at Shen Liang: "Are you the group leader?"

"Yes," Shen Liang explained: "These are all friends I have worked with, who I can get along with, and who I feel have good character... And although many dramas have good scripts, they can't find suitable actors..."

Peng Peng added: "A popular actor!"

"Yes," Shen Liang nodded: "Because the current mainstream dramas are either ancient puppet shows or suspense dramas... There are many good dramas, but even if they want to find us, it is difficult to get them to us..."

"Then how could you see it?"

"I have a dedicated script review team...more than 20 people. They will score the scripts that come to me. I will read any scripts that exceed eight points..."

Zhang Yixing suddenly said: "Then how can I join the group?"

Shen Liang replied: "...If it is not open to the public, your character and acting skills must be recognized...the most important thing is your character!"

…

"Longing" still retains some working aspects...

Plant a tree!

No shots at work...

It’s normal that variety shows must include interesting scenes—at least scenes that the director finds interesting!

Nini and Zhang Zifeng chatting together is more interesting than Shen Liang and Peng Peng planting trees in the rain.

"Shen Liang filmed "Changjin Lake"?"

During dinner in the evening, Huang Sanshi suddenly thought of something and asked.

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes, it took half a year to shoot..."

"How does it feel to work with three major directors at once?"

"It's not three, it's a bunch of directors. Bayi Studio also arranged seven or eight directors and teams... mainly to shoot explosion scenes..."

"Is it group cooperation?"

“Well, Director Chen was responsible for filming the part where the volunteers entered North Korea;

Director Tsui Hark mainly focuses on the completeness of the film's story and vivid details;

Director Lin Chaoxian pays more attention to thrilling battle scenes and the shaping of character and emotion in action design... This is a propaganda term. In fact, Director Chen was responsible for the opening scenes. After entering North Korea, the Inchon landing, the bombing of the train, and the stone Director Lam Chao-hsien was in charge of the Hingnam Port evacuation, including the water gate bridge... The three bombings of the water gate bridge were directed by Tsui Hark...

In the end, there was really not enough time, so director Huang Jianxin took several directors from Bayi Studio with him! "

"What do you think?"

"I don't have time to express my feelings. The crew is too big and the time is tight. It was originally scheduled to be released in July, and it should be completed in March, but there is no way to finish filming in March... The coordination of the crew includes on-site production... Especially the actor coordination, every day Busy as a top, but very inefficient..."

"The team management skills are so poor that extra performers get injured all the time... Moreover, everyone's management of foreign extra performers is too loose, and there is no even alcohol control...

I talked to a guy from Ireland and he said: 'People were drinking and getting high on set which made it feel ridiculously dangerous at all time...'

What it meant was, 'It was obviously a battle scene full of explosives, but there was no alcohol control. A bunch of people were drunk and a bunch of people were drunk while filming the explosion scene...' The little brother said, 'It's good if you don't die! ’

Compare it to "The Wandering Earth 2", we also have tens of thousands of extras, but we can do it in an orderly manner! "

"I don't know anything about project management. A large crew of tens of thousands of people is a mess every day... The contractor-style recruitment, the migrant worker-style extensive management, the director holding a big loudspeaker and shouting at the top of his lungs, the only way to control the progress is to work overtime like crazy..."

"Are you involved in "The Wandering Earth 2"? "

"My mother is the producer, she told me... The team of "The Wandering Earth 2" used complete standards and process management for the first time, and tried to introduce the concept of modern enterprise management from all aspects... So, even though the two films were shot in a row, it only took 150 days! "Changjin Lake" took 200 days!"

Speaking of this, Shen Liang looked at the camera: "Cut this part out!"

He Jiong smiled: "It will definitely be cut out!"

Huang Sanshi: "...Then working with a big director will definitely improve it, right?"

"To be honest, after I finished filming The Wandering Earth, my filter for directors was shattered..."

"What do you mean?"

"In modern commercial films, the acting skills of actors are not as good as their adaptability. As long as the actors are suitable for the roles, no matter how bad they act, they are still suitable for the roles. The same goes for directors. They just need to control the camera... In Japanese film series, there is no such word as director, but supervision!

In layman's terms, a crew is divided into countless departments of different sizes! And the director is to integrate these departments together, issue instructions, and make them work together! Or they coordinate the work!"

"Then the director has no role at all?"

"That's definitely not..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "I'm talking about commercial films!"

"Then who do you think is the best among the three directors?"

"...They are all very good, and they are all first-class directors!"
