I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 317 Return to Changsha (13)

"Alita"...is destined not to be a big hit!

Even with Cameron's protection...

In the original time and space, it took in 4.5 million in the first three days of the weekend and a total box office of 8.96 million.

Typical fan movie trend!
This time and space are not much different. However, unlike the general media who kept silent about Shen Liang's "impoliteness", Douyin... is a video report, and specifically promoted Shen Liang's sentence "If you continue chatting, it will be impolite!"...

Many people criticized him for pretending to know...

In the movie of Ka Shen, there is a saying that "it's impolite to continue talking?" If you don't understand it, then you don't understand it. Why are you pretending?
Shen Liang posted a microblog: "My expectations were too high, and the gap was a bit big... It's a typical Hollywood assembly line blockbuster, and it's not even as good as many assembly line blockbusters. The narrative has no rhythm, the plot is all messy, and there is no climax in the whole film. I thought it was going to climax in the end, but I'll let you wait for the next episode to find out."

But the special effects are really awesome...if you can tolerate the boring plot...

In addition, I advise all fans of "Battle Angel Alita" not to watch it... "Alita" has been made into an American youth movie, the same stuff as "Divergent", "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight", fooling children...'

'By the way, I watched Edge of Tomorrow a few days ago, and the chaotic landing operations reminded me of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, and then Starship Troopers... Really, the level of the landing operations in Edge of Tomorrow is visibly inferior to that of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, and even Starship Troopers! Starship Troopers is a movie from 1997! '

'Alas, 20 years have passed, and it seems that the only thing that has improved in Hollywood is special effects!'

'Now, I'm just looking forward to Nolan's "Tenet"...'

It’s a bit early...

The unpopularity of Hollywood blockbusters began in 2020...

So as soon as he posted on Weibo, there were many comments mocking him.

"You acted in The Wandering Earth, looked down on this and that... Even Cameron dared to despise you, but you don't even take a piss and look at yourself, who do you think you are?"

'I don't understand how someone could be so ignorant... He wouldn't know who Cameron is, right?'

"You know so much? Why aren't you the director?"

Of course, there are many who support him...

After all, The Wandering Earth is currently in theaters, and a lot of fans of The Wandering Earth are supporting him...

Most importantly, the quality of Alita is indeed poor...

Shen Liang...is too lazy to care about these things.

There are so many people who mock him...

Besides, his remarks are equivalent to those of a prophet!

……

On February 2, Shen Liang arrived in Changsha to prepare for the recording of "Escape the Room"...

Two days ago, he attended a high-profile seminar on "The Wandering Earth" and took part in an interview with the People's Daily...

On the news broadcast...

Although it was only a 20-second shot, it was my first time in my life!

He arrived in Changsha a day in advance, and his idol said he would come over in the evening...

After arriving in Changsha, I first chatted with the program crew, and then met the same guests Huang Minghao and Zhang Guowei.

Oh, "Escape the Room", the official cast: Yang Mi, Shen Liang, Huang Minghao, Zhang Guowei and Xie Yilin...

Five people!

Among them, Shen Liang only knew the idols, but he had a brief chat with Huang Minghao and Zhang Guowei, and felt that both of them had good personalities and were very polite... I hope tomorrow's recording will be successful.

Go back to the room...live broadcast.

It's a promotion for "Escape the Room"...

"Yes, I'm in Changsha, and tomorrow I'm going to record "Escape the Room", a new variety show from the "Detective" team!"

“…The guest lineup of “Detective Chinatown” is already very complete, so I won’t join in the fun. Besides, when I was in college, I really liked playing “The Chamber of Secrets”, so I took it!”

"...Yang Mi...She is my idol, I have always admired her! Independent, sober, strong, she is the heroine in my mind...I am not very familiar with the others, it doesn't matter, playing "Escape Room" does not necessarily involve playing with acquaintances..."

"The Wandering Earth... I don't need to do the subsequent promotion, Director Guo Fan can do it himself..."

Then... the brother in the live broadcast room asked about 'Zhang Yimou'...

"Why didn't Zhang Yi support The Wandering Earth... Damn, what kind of question is this? Zhang Yi didn't support Dying to Survive, Nobody, or Crazy Alien... Why should you ask him to support it?"

“Why are there no stars promoting The Wandering Earth or no big directors commenting on The Wandering Earth…”

“This question… Actually, many directors and actors have privately sent me messages to congratulate me…

I think that’s enough. Half of the entertainment industry has expressed their love for The Ferryman. Does that make sense? Movies are made for the audience to watch. Whether they express their opinions or not has no impact… Besides, didn’t Sister Liying repost the post on Weibo? "

"How can Guo Fan make The Wandering Earth... Let me put it this way. In the past two years, hot money has been pouring into the industry. Directors in the industry can be roughly divided into four categories. The first category is those who rarely go to the set, lying in the hotel watching the monitor, with the warmth of the supporting actresses in the bed beside them;
The second type is the kind that has not learned and grown for many years, and still uses the old methods from decades ago to mess around, trying to cover up their ignorance through so-called efforts;
The third type… goes to various big investors to talk big all day long, thinking about how to deceive their superiors and subordinates to get projects and take advantage of others.

What these three types of directors are best at is talking about art and life in front of all kinds of laymen. As for the results, they must naturally be full of loopholes.

Guo Fan belongs to the fourth category…the one with dreams!
Let me tell you something. I heard it from our producer Gong Geer. At that time, I hadn’t joined the crew yet…

When The Wandering Earth was filmed for about two months, the crew was exhausted and in a very bad state because of the endless problems with the sets, props, helmets, and working overtime day and night. Then Guo Fan held a meeting. At the meeting, he said something very sincerely: "Imagine now, if The Wandering Earth is released a year later, our audience is sitting in the seats you are sitting now. After they finish watching the movie, they say, "What kind of thing is this? It's so bad."

So, perhaps from that day on, Chinese science fiction films have no future, because our film is already China's highest-invested science fiction film. If this film fails, it means that in the next 5 or even 10 years, no one will have the confidence to invest in shooting such a high-cost science fiction film.

So, if you were given a chance to regret, would you think, I can try harder now? Make the details richer and the regrets less.

We have done our best and have a clear conscience. When the day comes when we hand the film over to the audience, even if we die, we will die with no regrets.'

From that day on, everything the entire "The Wandering Earth" crew did had nothing to do with money, but with a breath of fresh air.'

I was also touched by the cohesion of the entire team... I just switched from Douyu to Tik Tok at that time, and they gave me a signing fee of nearly 6000 million yuan. After paying taxes, I basically spent it all on The Wandering Earth!"

“…The film industry has never lacked talent. Guo Fan dared to think, work hard, and act. That’s how The Wandering Earth came out…”

Then, mentioning Alita...

Shen Liang shook his head: "This movie really disappoints me. Judging from the publicity, it took 14 years to prepare... I thought "Alita" would shock me... but it turned out to be a familiar assembly line narrative... Hollywood's current commercial movies have very little artistic value!"

I was chatting happily when my phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Yang Mi. It only said one sentence: "Are you there? Let's have supper together?"

“…Send me the address, I’ll be there soon!”

“…We’re waiting for you in the hotel lobby.”

you?

Who are they?
Well, I saw it when I went downstairs...

After the live broadcast ended, I took the elevator to the lobby, and then saw Yang Mi, Xie Yilin... and... Jing Tian!
Shen Liang was stunned for a moment... Of course he did not forget to say hello first, and then asked in confusion: "Sister Tiantian? Why... are you here? To promote your work?"

"I asked her to come..." Yang Mi interrupted, "She was filming Once Upon a Time in Spirit Sword Mountain in Hengdian, which happened to be next to The Pillow Book... She knew I was going to record Chamber of Secrets, so she came along, and happened to be the first guest of the show!"
