I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 247 Rejection (34)

Guo Fan has indeed lost weight!

This was when "My Deskmate" was filmed;
This is when The Wandering Earth was filmed...

The weight loss process can be made into a movie called "Hot"...

Forget it, he works behind the scenes, so there’s definitely not much box office revenue for him!

Moreover, there is no such amazing number as losing weight to 100 kilograms.

After chatting with Guo Fan for a while, Rao Xiaozhi suggested: "Let's go see him?"

"... Forget it, so as not to delay his train of thought." After thinking for a while, Shen Liang added: "Let's send him some supplements..."

"...Alright," Rao Xiaozhi scratched his head, "How much do you think the box office of "Nobody" will be?"

"... Let's see if it can gain momentum..." Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "We can also hold a large-scale preview..."

“Imitating ‘Dying to Survive’?”

"Yes, all we need is a film festival marketing..." After thinking for a while, Shen Liang said: "We can cooperate with Douyin and invite a group of directors and actors to watch the movie..."

Rao Xiaozhi thought for a moment and asked, "Is it just like the promotion of "Time Travel Together"?"

"Yes," Shen Liang looked at him, "Isn't it good? The popularity of "Time Travelers" has skyrocketed thanks to this!"

“But…” Rao Xiaozhi was a little embarrassed: “Our movie has Tencent Weishi short video implanted…”

“…Okay, I almost forgot!”

It’s really inappropriate…

In order to deal with Douyin, Tencent Weishi launched various advertisements...

A lot of movies were implanted, including "Detective Chinatown 2", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and "Nobody"...

"Then let's go with the traditional model... Start with a small-scale preview to build up word of mouth..." At this point, Shen Liang asked, "Don't you have confidence in the movie?"

"Of course I am confident..."

"Then it's settled. I'll talk to my aunt... and I can focus on promoting the news of my investment..."

Rao Xiaozhi: "What a pity, you didn't perform!"

Shen Liang also sighed: "... There is no other way, I really can't find the time..."

Well, Shen Liang did not appear in "The Unknown", so Peng Yuchang was invited to star instead.

……

Yang Zi is very popular!
After Ode to Joy, there are signs that actresses born in the 90s are taking the lead…

Of course, Rouba later managed to break through.

But Yang Zi has a good eye for choosing scripts. "Ashes of Love" and "Go Go Squid!" are both hits.

However, "Ashes of Love" has not been aired yet. For the time being, her status in the eyes of investors is not as good as Shen Liang!

The crew of "Honey Stewed Squid" officially announced that Shen Liang has joined the cast and is the leading actor.

Yang Zi's team did not tear up the show...

After all, Shen Liang has the box office record of 12 billion for "Time Travel Cohabitation", and he is also a pop star. The promotional single "As Long as It's Ordinary" for the recently popular "Dying to Survive" is his work...

Most importantly, this is not a drama with a female lead!

"The Legend of the Golden Hairpin" is a drama with a strong female lead. The original novel does not even have a male lead, and the perspective is dominated by the female lead...

Then it must be torn.

Shen Liang…also felt that “Go Go Squid!” was a sweet idol drama, not a heroine-led drama, so he accepted it calmly.

On July 7, Shen Liang arrived at the crew and met with the crew's director team and main actors...

I feel like... Yang Zi is quite interesting. We are both native Beijingers and have a lot of common topics...

Then, start shooting!
… “Honey Stewed Squid” is a project led by Huace, starring Shen Liang;

This is not a good sign for Xinli!

In fact, there are very few first-line male actors in the market, especially those with an excellent reputation like Shen Liang... They are even rarer.

Shen Liang, Liu Haoran, and then Yang Yang...

But Liu Haoran is obviously not very involved in the TV circle. He has been in contact with Yang Yang and New Classics, but the collaboration with "Fights Break Sphere" was not very pleasant!
"Celebrating Yu Nian", from the director to the producer, Shen Liang has received continuous praise...

Xinli wants to bind Shen Liang!
Then I sent a script invitation - "The Spy in the Deep Sea"...

Chen Jiadong took the script to Shen Liang, who just flipped through it and shook his head: "I do have the idea of ​​starring in a spy drama, but this script... forget it!"

"…Why?"

"Because it's the sequel to Sparrow..."

Shen Liang couldn't say, "Because it's a pile of shit in the later stages!"

Generally, when you are invited to write a script for a TV series, you will only be given the script for the first three episodes. Once you agree, the screenwriter will give you the rest of the script...

"The Spy in the Deep Sea" happens to have a particularly exciting script in the first three episodes - it follows a fast pace and a strange setting. Although to put it bluntly, it is a trick of "substituting a cat for a prince", there is still a big difference between this "cat" and the "prince".

In three episodes, Chen Shan, a poor street thug who couldn't even afford to eat, successfully transformed into Xiao Zhengguo, a tall, rich and handsome Military Intelligence Bureau agent, and became a pawn of Araki Yui and a Japanese spy who infiltrated the Military Intelligence Bureau.

At first glance, it's really amazing...

But Shen Liang has seen this drama...

It's a mess back there!
It seems that the screenwriter Hai Fei is a fan of Li Yifeng and is determined not to let the sequel's rating exceed that of "Sparrow"...

Shen Liang cherishes his reputation very much.

He doesn't want a stain on his resume!
Chen Jiadong nodded: "Then I'll keep an eye out for any good spy drama scripts..."

“The production team must also be reliable!”

"…OK!"

After "The Disguiser" became popular, it provided a transformation example for traffic stars: spy war drama!
As a result, a bunch of spy wars and young actors were launched, including "Decryption", "Sparrow", and, yes, "Rouge"...

Of course, the reputation is not very good!

From the moment they invited the young and handsome actors, their goal was to make money, so naturally they would not pay much attention to the production.

Chen Jiadong left, and Shen Liang continued the live broadcast: "Where were we talking about just now?"

"…Love Apartment movie…what? My executive agent just asked me about something…I just rejected an invitation for a production…"

"It's normal to reject project invitations. Sometimes the script is not suitable, and sometimes I don't like the production team..."

"I must be more cautious... Let's talk about the movie "Love Apartment"..."

The movie "Love Apartment" created a record: the box office fell on weekdays!
The box office on the first day was 3.03 million, and the box office on the first working day was 2000 million.

However, this record was nothing, as it was soon broken by Europe Raiders: 9500 million on the first day, and 560 million on the working day;
None of them can compare to Shanghai Fortress—7550 million on the first day, and 440 million on the working day…

"The film market has entered an era where content is king, and marketing can only..."

At this point, Shen Liang suddenly shut up...

He thought of "Hot As Inch", a movie that did not win by its content, but by typical marketing!

It’s the same routine as “Man Jiang Hong”.

Shen Liang came back to his senses: "...Oh, I thought of something..."

"Squidward is still being filmed... I'm dying of heat, the temperature outside is definitely over 40 degrees, and I still have to wear a suit..."

"Pity me? No need. My one-day salary is enough for you to earn in a year!"

"How much did I get paid for "Squid Stew"? I can't tell you... It's an industry secret. I can only say it's in the eight digits..."
