I didn't want to be an actor

As several dramas became hits, capital set its sights on Noon Sunshine.

After the capital support, Noon Sunshine sought to expand its production capacity.

Originally, Noon Sunshine continued the production model of Shanying, which required a long time to carve out a TV series.

However, in 2016, Noon Sunshine started filming five TV series in a year, which was much faster than the previous two to three a year.

Then, "He's Coming, Please Close Your Eyes", "Ode to Joy 2" and "Surgeons" were launched...

The reputation of these dramas is not very good!

"Surgeons" is slightly better, but it collided head-on with the decade-old drama "In the Name of the People", which was directly blown to pieces.

But this did not change Noon Sunshine's drama route...

"The Great River", "Do You Know", and "All Is Well" were all launched at about the same time!

The person who just spoke to Shen Liang was Han Zhijie, the deputy director of Tencent Video Content. Most of the dramas produced by Noon Sunshine are supported by Tencent.

Although Shen Liang’s film and television contracts have not been signed, he is assumed to be an artist of the Tencent platform. Wajijiwa is invested by Tencent.

So, in his opinion, Shen Liang is one of his own.

Since he is one of his own, he must help him. What’s more, Shen Liang is very popular.

Since “The Great River” is not suitable, he will be recommended to “Do You Know”.

“Do You Know?”

“You can buy a copy and read it at home.”

“Well, thank you, Mr. Han.”

…

The original work of “Do You Know?” is very famous, and it ranks first among the Jinjiang family fighting novels!

The book fans give it a high evaluation and call it “Little Dream of Red Mansions”, mainly because almost all the characters who have appeared in the book have their own characteristics and there is no repetition.

At that time, Mary Sue novels were popular, with the aura of a time traveler. The protagonists of this type often have a sense of superiority with modern wisdom, and they are sharp and invincible.

However, readers will get tired of reading too many similar novels.

The emergence of "Do You Know?" allows readers to see another possibility: in ancient times, you don't have to be brave and have unparalleled strategies. As long as you stay calm and assess the situation at any time, you can still live a prosperous and colorful life.

The tone of the book was set from the beginning: the heroine must be both law-abiding and have the worldly happiness of a winner in life.

Of course, from Shen Liang's perspective, "Do You Know?" is definitely incomparable to "A Dream of Red Mansions"!

Just one point: the pattern, that is, the intention!

The intention is the most important. If the intention is low, no matter how good the writing is, it cannot escape the low character.

The hypocrisy and servility of the protagonist revealed in the story cannot be covered up by the splendid appearance!

In that era, Cao Gong was still able to write biographies for the boudoir, to praise those women with ideals and talents, to affirm the value of women, and to appreciate and praise girls of low birth.

Modern authors, on the contrary, are keen on palace fighting and house fighting, aiming to compete for the favor of men, excluding and oppressing other women, and devaluing their own value. Their vision is really too narrow.

However, "Do You Know" is indeed a phenomenal TV series.

The long tail effect is amazing!

From the two pictures, we can see that an old drama that has been broadcast for four or five years can still dominate the charts...

This drama is definitely a successful series!

Although the heroine is not well portrayed, the group portraits are not bad, including the hot-tempered eldest lady, the elegant and profound old father Sheng, the good singer and songwriter Lin Xiaoniang, the kind and clear-minded old lady, even the pretentious Mo Lan, and even the silly Ru Lan, and the several sons of the Sheng family with their own characteristics...

They are all highlights of the TV series.

But who can Shen Liang play?

The male protagonist Gu Tingye?

This is Feng Shaofeng's!

Feng Shaofeng is a first-line actor, a part of the capital...

Not only that, he is also a role model for Shen Liang to learn from - he has had relationships with many top female stars...

He is dating half of the Chinese entertainment industry.

There is a saying that goes like this: Feng Shaofeng goes to the award ceremony of the entertainment industry, which is basically to attend his ex-girlfriend's meeting.

In comparison, Wang Sicong is just a younger brother, at most playing with Internet celebrities, and Uncle Feng wants to find someone, so he will find a top female star to fight.

What kind of celebrity is Shen Liang, to steal Feng Shaofeng's role?

Then...Young Master Qi Heng?

The role of Qi Heng meets all the conditions of the male protagonist, hardworking, prominent family background, handsome, gentle and polite, and can distinguish right from wrong, almost perfect!

But this role carries the glory of the family, his own ambitions, and the expectations of his parents.

The heavy shackles prevent him from making his own choices.

What's more, he has a mother whose principles are absolutely correct, who has planned an absolutely correct life path for him. Qi Heng's helplessness is that even he himself cannot deny his mother's correctness.

So, he is destined to be tragic, a young man facing a dilemma between future and love: if he chooses love, he may regret it many years later, and he may end up with a couple who are enemies; if he chooses future, he will be disappointed and regretful for the rest of his life.

So, he is the second male lead.

Well, try your best to compete with Qi Heng!

…

"I'm going to audition for a play tomorrow...a play in Noon Sunshine...a TV series!"

"...regardless of whether I get it or not, I will definitely go back to Qingdao tomorrow afternoon..."

"How can I quit? I've been filming for half a month!"

After sending Li Guangjie to the airport, Shen Liang returned to Hengdian to prepare for tomorrow's audition...

Li Guangjie didn't get the role, but it was worth the trip - Huang Wei said that "The Great River Eastward Flows" will be filmed in three parts, and he will be given a suitable role in the last two parts!

As for Shen Liang...

He probably won't appear in "Dajiang Dahe".

Prepare with all your strength for "Know or Not"...

In fact, Shen Liang knew that he had a low chance of getting the role. After all, he was a newcomer without any works!

Moreover, he is considered a singer in the industry...

But it is not without advantages. First of all, the age is right. Secondly, the appearance is also suitable. In addition, he is very popular;

The most important thing is that he is an investor!

In addition, "Know or Not" is also called "The Legend of Minglan". Just hearing the name makes it sound like a heroine. In general, dramas with a heroine are rarely starred by male actors who are really popular and have no shortage of roles.

Because the position was suppressed...

Shen Liang doesn't care much about his position. When he acts, he first positions himself.

What location?

Actor's place!

Actors serve the script, but the script itself does not serve the actors. The actor's duty is to make the work more beautiful through his or her role creation...

He didn't understand, why should the male protagonist and the female protagonist compete for position?

Even if you win the prize, you are still the protagonist. If you take two responsibilities, you can’t escape!

It's clear that even the leading female actor and actor have to fight for it...

Crazy?

What's going on? Can you two fight each other to make the series better?

Speaking of which, Shen Liang is compiling biographies of characters - acting skills and so on, I guess if you can't impress people, you have to rely on sincerity...

What is sincerity?

This is what Li Hongjie taught him. Li Hongjie used himself as an example, "When I was filming "Toward the Republic", in order to play the role of Emperor Guangxu well, I read a lot of information and wrote three biographies..."

Well, suggest he come up with something!

Shen Liang couldn't produce anything, so he wrote a biography...

Just as I was writing this, Chen Jiadong knocked on the door...

Shen Liang stood up and opened the door: "What's wrong?"

"The company asked you if you wanted to fly over?"

"What's flying over?"

"Aren't you going to audition for "Do You Know"? Mr. Ma said he wanted to fly over to help you support the show..."

"What can she do here? This is a serious drama, not an idol drama..."

"But this is a drama scheduled by Mango Channel..."

"Reservation for Mango Terrace?"

Shen Liang's eyes lit up... He was sure!
