I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 252 Propaganda (44)

The "Mission Impossible" series has always been very popular in mainland China!
As one of the earliest Hollywood blockbusters to enter the Chinese market, judging from the box office performance of the series, its influence is no less than or even exceeds that of another spy film series "007".

Mission: Impossible 4: 6.72 million;
Mission Impossible 5: 8.68 million...

If nothing unexpected happens, "Mission Impossible 6" will break one billion!
Since "Nobody" is released in the same period as it, it will definitely be impacted.

不止有《碟中谍6》（8月31号），还有《蚁人2》（8月24号）…

Why did you choose August 8th as the release date?
There is no way, the distributor is not strong enough, and it cannot be squeezed into the summer season (the month for the protection of domestic films)...

Besides, there are a lot of movies in the summer season, such as "Dying to Survive", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and "A Good Show". Which one can beat "Nobody"?

We can only hope that word of mouth will drive the market and convince theaters to schedule more screenings...

……

Shen Liang came here with Nini...

He didn't expect that the young lady would agree to his simple invitation.

I feel like she's a bit love-minded.

After recording "Longing for Life", I followed Shen Liang directly to Shanghai...

It’s just that!

We've only known each other for two days...

There was no chance to exchange art, just a brief discussion in the car...

How to say it, female stars have halo, career, material things, and don't need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. So when they encounter the so-called love in their hearts, some people will be more likely to pursue this kind of love that seems to be "grand" and fighting against the world.

Okay, Shen Liang was overthinking.

Nini actually came to Shanghai to participate in an event - to promote her endorsement!

By the way, help Shen Liang with some publicity...

As for the "love brain", haha, the young lady just wants to experience it...

——Celebrities are also human beings and need sex life, but for safety and matching reasons, they can only do it secretly. The best targets are people in the circle. Shen Liang himself has first-class physical fitness...

But when they walked together, the media was quite surprised...

Is Nini in love again?
Feng Shaofeng, Jing Boran, and then Shen Liang?

One younger than the other?
In this regard, Shen Liang explained: "I went to record "Longing for Life" yesterday, and Sister Nini happened to be there. I asked her and she said she had been resting in recent days, so I asked her to come to the preview of "Nobody"..."

Nini nodded: "Yes, he said that "Nobody" is definitely a good movie...so, I came along!"

"Are you guys together?"

Nini was surprised: "How is that possible? I am 7 years older than him!"

Shen Liang also added: "...I don't mind sister-brother relationships, but we are really not that kind of relationship..."

After sending away the media, Shen Liang took Nini into the screening room...

Then, we watched a movie.

In fact, Shen Liang really feels that the movie "Nobody" may not be worthy of the current Douban score of over 8...

Although it is a good quality movie, "Crazy Stone" only scored 8.2 points...

However, he could understand why the audience was willing to give it high scores!
Its best aspects lie in three technical areas: actors’ acting skills, rendering of the urban atmosphere, and dramatic conflict design…

For the audience, the most intuitive feeling is the actors' acting skills!

In fact, most of the extra points were given to Ren Suxi, Zhang Yu, and Pan Binlong for their exceptionally brilliant acting skills.

This is actually a very good thing.…

At this stage, in our film market, many good films have been ruined by so-called "traffic stars"...

The audience gave extra high marks to the actors for their acting skills, and in order to set things right, they had to go overboard.

But this is also the original time and space. Although "Nobody" received a lot of critical acclaim, it was still not a big hit at the box office, and it did not become a hot topic like "Lost in Thailand" and "Dying to Survive" - ​​the film itself has a weak foundation and lacks stamina... This depends on marketing!
If you don't have enough stamina, make up for it with stamina...

Shen Liang was thinking about the promotion, while Nini was staring at Ren Suxi on the screen...

The role of Ma Jiaqi is amazing!
Because my brother Ma Xianyong was paralyzed from the waist down after a drunk driving accident and can only sit in a wheelchair...

From a young and beautiful girl, she turned into a person who could only move her head and couldn't even control her urination and defecation.

I was in so much pain and despair that I couldn't even commit suicide.

"Her name is Ren Suxi, and she has worked with director Rao Xiaozhi many times before... This scene of the robbers and the hostages is actually from director Rao Xiaozhi's play "Stupid"..."

Seeing that she was so absorbed in watching, Shen Liang whispered in her ear...

"Jackass?"

"Yes, Director Rao Xiaozhi was a drama director before..."

“…Can acting in a play really improve my acting skills?”

"…have no idea…"

Shen Liang has never believed in the claim that performing in a drama can improve an actor's acting skills!
It's not even a performance mode, the scenes are different.

Drama performances are subject to the limitations of theatrical performances. Performances do not have to be realistic, and exaggeration is allowed, as long as the information and emotions that need to be expressed are conveyed to the audience.

When actors act in movies, they need to cooperate with the equipment such as photography, lighting, and recording...

It's not inferior to performing in a drama!

Both Hu Ge and Xiao Zhan went to rehearse a drama, but their acting skills didn't seem to improve much.

Nini asked quietly: "So, do you think I should rehearse a few plays?"

Shen Liang said seriously: "It's not necessary... But if you want to try it, it's not a bad thing..."

"…Then I'll go back and discuss it with them…"

Oh, their whispering discussion was also captured by the on-site camera...

It must be promoted...

The movie screening is over, share your viewing experience.

Shen Liang took the microphone and said, "I know that the market performance of Director Rao Xiaozhi's last film Hello, Madman did not meet expectations, and he was criticized by many "industry insiders" for being meaningless, which made me feel very dissatisfied... "Nobody" has a hint of regaining dignity..."

Rao Xiaozhi nodded: "…After filming "Hello, Crazy Man", I was devastated by all the bad reviews. My state at that time was a bit like Hu Guangsheng…So, I desperately wanted to make the second part and achieve some results to prove myself!"

“…a very successful movie, I believe it will be a box office success too!”

"Lend your auspicious words!"

Shen Liang chuckled: "...One of us is a film director and the other is a film investor, so let's not brag about ourselves... Ask other people what they think..."

He handed the microphone directly to Nini, who stood up and said, "Ren Suxi is amazing. I also want to play a role like this. Director, do you think I have a chance?"

“…Of course there is…”

"Then remember to look for me next time..."

Nini sat down with a smile and handed the microphone to Peng Yuchang who was sitting next to her...

……

For a preview, word of mouth is what matters.

No, what’s important is the word-of-mouth publicity!

In fact, logically speaking, Shen Liang should have gone on more promotional trips with the crew of "The Unknown", but... he was still filming "Go Go Squid!" and couldn't leave at all. It was already great that he could take three days off this time.

After the preview in Shanghai was over, he returned to the crew...

Of course, I am definitely paying attention to the spread of word-of-mouth of "Nobody"...
