I didn't want to be an actor

"Grandma's Grandson"...

There is a comment on Douban: If you don’t take the photo, I won’t take the photo. Foreigners will take the photo of “Chinese culture”!

In fact, it’s really not the case. Director Chen Xiaoyu has a film called “Leaving on a Boat” which is also very good.

It's just that "Leaving on a Boat" is related to the hometown by the relatives who left on the boat. Losing relatives also means losing the hometown...

The content of "Grandma's Grandson" is more direct, and it is directly approached from the perspective of inheritance distribution.

To be honest, "Leaving on a Boat" is more in line with Shen Liang's taste...

This is a very poetic work. The director's aesthetic and audio-visual awareness are both excellent, emphasizing the concept of "Tao". The art and photography are based on the perspective of "poetry", and they see a kind of charm.

In the rainy season, the water town is filled with solemnity and melancholy. Boats are the hub connecting hometown (ancestors) and the city (children and grandchildren).

With the development of the times, traditions are broken, boats have been replaced by cars, young people rush to distant places, and the intersection with their roots is cut off. The spirit of the generation that has lost its roots is wandering and has nowhere to put it...

"Grandma's Grandson"...

The younger generation is unemployed at home, the middle-aged generation is a pseudo-elite middle class and dog gamblers who are not doing their jobs, and the older generation is living alone. These hot social issues have all been focused on, and the elements are complete.

But Shen Liang likes this movie very much. Two lonely people heal each other...

Although there are many ugly things reflected, the end point is still the two-way flow of love between grandma and grandson, which bridges two lonely individuals...

Rao Xiaozhi likes the less beautiful parts of the script very much: "It's very realistic. When people get old, they become a burden. Even if they come to visit, they are only willing to stay for 15 minutes. Even if they have dinner together, they are not willing to play another game of cards. If the old man still has The most valuable thing is to let your children fulfill their duties of filial piety before you die, and leave a legacy after your death!"

"...You want to take pictures?"

"Well," Rao Xiaozhi nodded and suggested by the way: "If you are willing to be the director, I will be your producer!"

Shen Liang shook his head: "How can I have time to film a movie?"

"Then the box office of this play will not be very high!"

"It's okay, I'm not just a box office critic..." Shen Liang waved his hand and remembered something: "Grandma Wu Yanshu is on our crew. You can go find her with the script later..."

"Wu Yanshu?" Rao Xiaozhi's eyes lit up: "And she is from Guangzhou...she is very familiar with everything in the script!"

"Brother, she is our contracted artist..."

Rao Xiaozhi was surprised: "Really?"

"...take some time to understand!"

"How can I have time to pay attention to this!"

"...What's going on? Do you have plans for a new work?"

"There are a few..." Rao Xiaozhi waved his hand: "But none of them are very mature..."

…

The scene "Grandma's Grandson" was completed in 30 days according to the shooting plan...

Shen Liang reserved October...

There is still plenty of time!

Rao Xiaozhi stayed for one day and left the next day.

Shen Liang continues filming "Go Where the Wind Is"...

To be honest, Shen Liang would not have liked this kind of drama three years ago!

There is no dramatic conflict in the whole drama...

There is no villain, no blood, it is all about family affairs and trivial matters in daily life.

Moreover, it has been thirty episodes, and the male and female protagonists are still not together. One moment they are meditating and relaxing with friends, another moment they are all cooking together, one moment someone is sick and taking care of each other, one moment the children are doing problems, singing and playing, and one moment the neighbors are quarreling with each other. Okay, this is the triviality of life!

The pace of the story is really too slow.

But now, Shen Liang feels pretty good!

It talks about falling in love but not falling in love, pursues healing but does not encourage lying down, talks about rural revitalization but is not too serious, is lighthearted and humorous but reflects many sad realities, and captures the shortcomings of parents but does not maliciously vilify any ordinary person.

Very good, plain but profound!

However, the ratings of this drama are quite low...

Let’s see if Brother Liang can bring him up!

Long An, the producer of Guan Xinqing's team, is currently planning a drama - "National Beauty Youth"...

Costume drama!

An online novel of the same name written by Yi Qianzhong.

Big heroine drama…

Long An came to Shen Liang and talked about "The Beauty of the Country"...

Shen Liang probably understood it - the heroine runs a fragrance business like peony, and leads a large group of women to start a business and take off...

"right!"

However, Shen Liang has the "Water Dragon Song" series in his hands...

"Water Dragon Song" is another martial arts novel by Teng Ping, and Shen Liang's previous "Lotus Tower" is also her work.

Therefore, Shen Liang declined politely: "...it may take three months to shoot, so we may not have time..."

"It's okay, we'll wait for you!"

"Who did the heroine find?"

Long An was very sincere: "You decide, Liu Yifei or Yang Zi..."

"...Yang Zi... I know her quite well..." After a pause, Shen Liang added: "But I can only give you two months. I have two movies next year and I have to tour..."

"good."

…

Long An, including Guan Xinqing, and the entire team respect Shen Liang.

Good acting skills, built-in traffic, and not much to do!

Most of the top traffic figures like Shen Liang clearly signed a 100-day contract during filming, but they could only stay on the crew for a maximum of 50 days.

They will have a lot of personal things to deal with...

There are very few actors, but they will not refuse invitations from commercial activities or variety shows!

The most typical one is idol...

In the early days, I did various dramas, and later when I was filming, I often took part in activities or participated in variety shows!

Why do you do this?

I have no respect for the profession of "actor". I have taken too many shortcuts and can no longer keep my feet on the ground.

Shen Liang is different. He stays in the crew after accepting a role!

He will only take a leave if there is something he cannot refuse, such as movie promotion.

Liang Ge does not have the temperament of a professional actor...

He is very attentive!

He respects all the staff...

Most importantly, he does not care much about the ranking!

Otherwise, Long Ya would not dare to mention the project of "Guo Se Fang Hua" to him...

The heroine plays a drama, and the male lead is the second!

When Liang Ge accepts a drama, he mainly looks at the script and the production team.

The drama "Shui Long Yin" was created by the original team of "Lotus Tower", with director Lou Jian, screenwriter Liu Fang, and action director Dong Wei's team.

He did not accept the "big brother accompanies me to send gold" - "Huan Yan" with a lineup of all the stars...

According to the words of the screenwriter and director Xu Tian, ​​the drama "Huan Yan" is a "young man with chivalrous spirit, making friends with the heroes of the five cities, being brave and courageous, with hair standing up, talking, life and death together, and a promise is worth a thousand gold." ’ story…

Then Shen Liang said…I don’t understand it.

I just can’t get the logic of the role and the character…

If I can’t get it, then I won’t act!

Ahem, let’s get back to the topic.

Does Brother Liang have no flaws?

Yes, he still has some—he and the heroine are not clear…

But everyone has to have some flaws, right?

Besides, how do you know it’s a flaw?

The hero and heroine have a relationship line, and it’s settled outside the play, so it’s more natural when acting, and the emotional scenes will come naturally.

From the production point of view, this is a good thing!

So, Shen Liang rarely works with married actresses…

Isn’t this a bottom line!
