Chapter 253 The middle-aged actor's hard work

Any actor who has become famous will find it difficult to accept the status quo once he is lost.

Especially when people reach middle age, their bodies and appearance have gone apart, which is far from the romantic and elegant image of the audience's memory. Every time they appear in front of the public, it will cause everyone to sigh, sigh at the time and change.

It's too difficult to get back to the top!

Today's TV series market is basically dominated by young people. Even for middle-aged TV series, Liang Hua cannot compete with the rest.

He was unwilling to be a supporting role, playing the role of the father, uncle and boss of the male and female protagonists.

When middle-aged people are afraid of fatness, actresses are afraid of getting old.

The entertainment industry is so cruel.

Liang Hua stood in front of the mirror and sighed as he looked at his much rounded figure. The curve of his chin was completely invisible, and he seemed to have gained weight.

He learned to open a Weibo account by young people, but the comments were almost all like "Time is too cruel to you" and so on.

Some people also released photos of Liang Hua's popularity all over the country twenty years ago. They could take the effect of filters in that era without beauty. Compared with the fat uncles today, there is a big gap in their image.

The midlife crisis is not only experienced by people in the workplace, but also by the entertainment industry!

The powerful Middle-zoic actors standing at the top of the entertainment industry can take the lead in front-line blockbusters, or even direct and act on their own; a slightly handsome middle-aged actor will be arranged in the play to get extra scenes; like some unfamous uncles can only be supporting roles, and often have no scenes to shoot.

Middle-aged TV series may have hits, but the probability is relatively low, and only audiences with certain experience can empathize with it.

Liang Hua just came back from buying books at the bookstore and found that no passerby could recognize him.

When it was popular, the sky was often followed by reporters. Wherever they went, they were the focus. The thing they wanted most was distance, and they wanted to take a breath.

If you can breathe freely, your fame and money are not enough.

He returned to the living room and took out the book "Detective Di Renjie" from the shopping bag on the sofa.

Since so many viewers have recommended this book to me, I believe there must be something extraordinary. If it can really help me return to the audience's attention, then I have to organize the crew even if I have to be ashamed of myself.

Liang Hua is a student from the Master Performance School. He also likes reading while acting.

He basically had no memory of the character Di Renjie, and even after reading the novel, he realized that he was a famous official in the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty.

Sitting on the sofa, making a pot of tea, occasionally turning the pages to read them back, Liang Hua was extremely impressed and even his son did not respond at all when he went home.

"Dad, what are you watching?" Liang Xuanming, as a second-generation star, basically continued his father's route. He was admitted to the Performance Department of Xingcheng Film Academy last year. He was once on the hot search for his handsome face during the art exam.

Liang Hua raised his head, twisted his stiff neck, and replied: "When reading Qin Chuan's novel "Detective Di Renjie", the character Di Renjie happened to be very suitable for me."

Liang Xuanming suddenly felt energetic and sat down, "Yes! I think it's very suitable for you. This role is quite a test of acting skills. You don't need to gain weight even if you play Di Pangpang, and you are also interested in the audience."

"Have you seen it?"

"I have always been a fan of Qin Chuan. Last year, I also played a Tianbing in the movie "Erlang Shen Yang Jian". That movie was also adapted from Qin Chuan's novel!"

The advantage of studying in a film school is that there are many opportunities to make guest appearances in some blockbusters. The school teachers lead students to see what the real crew looks like, let them know that it is not easy to be a supporting actor and an extra, and also to see how the real actor and director operate.

Liang Hua has always been an actor in TV series. His mythical movie universe is so terrifying and influential, but he has no idea that the upcoming "Erlang Shen Yang Jian" is actually adapted from Qin Chuan's novel.

He murmured to himself: "It seems that the copyright of "Detective Di Renjie" must be very expensive!"

"It goes without saying... Teacher Qin made more than 80 million last year. Unfortunately, we stipulated that we should not go out to film in the first and second year, otherwise I would have to audition for "Zhu Xian". Even if we can't play the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan, it would be fine to play an important supporting role." Liang Xuanming was particularly upset. It was a big drama of Haichuan Media, and was regarded by the industry as an important seed player of the annual ratings champion.

Originally, Liang Hua wanted to find an investment by himself and buy the copyright at a cheap price to film, but when he heard the news, he felt mixed feelings.

What I like is that Qin Chuan is very famous, which proves that the story is actually very high and the quality of the work is guaranteed.

What is worrying is that the copyright fees may exceed your imagination.

He didn't investigate Qin Chuan in advance, and just thought he was an ordinary author.

Now I find that they are already the prospective son-in-law of Haichuan Media!

"Then I won't disturb you reading. I'll go up and go to bed first. I slept too late last night when I played games."

After Liang Xuanming finished speaking, he ran to the second floor, leaving Liang Hua alone sitting on the sofa and pondering.

The novel has more than 200 pages, and I have only read more than 30 pages so far, but the whole story and narrative rhythm make Liang Hua particularly excited. If it is filmed, it will definitely be very good.

The role of Di Renjie inside is simply tailor-made for him and cannot be more suitable!

Old fox, cunning, and a god-like judgment... A series of adjectives can be thrown on this character, and may even become a screen classic.

How many actors never encounter such a character who can leave their names in film history in their entire lives?

Liang Hua is so lucky that his handsome image has been circulating when he was young. Now, after he gains weight in middle age, he can still encounter characters who can accumulate audience favors.

He folded the page and called the old friend Qian Qiu, and a small plan came to his mind.

Qian Qiu and him are considered golden partners. The role of the hero he became popular all over the world many years ago was filmed by this director.

Unfortunately, after making enough money, Qian Qiu retired and went around the world to play.

Recently, it is estimated that it was because of almost enough money to return to directing dramas in the entertainment industry, but film and television companies dare not hand over the big production to this director who has not filmed for twenty years.

Have a status but no job.

Those companies would rather hand over the director’s position to photographers, screenwriters, and writers to complete it than trust an old director.

One is an actor who was eliminated to the edge by the market, and the other is a director who was abandoned by a film and television company. The two of them gathered together for the same novel and didn't know what sparks they would create.

"Hey, director Qian? I'm Xiao Liang. Recently, there is a novel called "Detective Di Renjie" that is very popular. Have you read it..."
