I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 359 Schedule (13)

It is easy to say "never forget your original intention", but it is still difficult to actually do it!
Especially those artists who debuted through domestic entertainment talent shows.

Because it’s so easy to make it in the domestic entertainment industry!

If you accumulate a little popularity in the competition, you can guarantee that you will do well after your debut.

Wu Xuanyi is a typical example.

——Without strength or skills, he can still make a lot of money and be admired by a bunch of fans. He is simply invincible.

Shen Liang just felt a little regretful - after all, he witnessed the formation of Rocket Girls with his own eyes.

Oh, Rocket Girls did a dance and then left.

After all, it is the stage of "Sisters Who Make Waves"...

……

After hosting "Sisters Who Make Waves", Shen Liang said goodbye and left - there are still a few scenes of "Love Like a Bouquet".

In the car, he opened Maoyan to check the box office performance of "The Evil Dead".

The total box office is 23.45 billion... and I was surprised to see that yesterday's box office was 880 million?
That's not right, "The Villain" has been released for 28 days...

Working day!

There is no reason!
Unless...the distribution company buys box office revenue in order to break 24 billion.

"You bought the ticket sales without telling me?"

"Buy box office?" Chen Jiadong was puzzled: "Buy what box office?"

"…The box office of "The Evil Dead" has grown against the market trend. Didn't you see it?"

“…Oh, mainly because Drug War 2 is too mediocre… People generally think it is not as good as The Villain…” Chen Jiadong explained: “Many viewers watched it for the second or third time!”

“…Really? Let me check Douban…”

Well, it is true. Although the box office of "Drug War 2" reached 4.5 million in the first weekend, its Douban score is only 6.4 points, and it is still declining...

"Drug War 2" is indeed mediocre. The details, music, the acting skills of Andy Lau, Michael Miu, Louis Koo, and even the racing scenes are all good.

Its mediocrity does not lie in the shoddy production, but in its confusion, conservatism and insult to the audience's IQ!
The part used to introduce the story is the underworld society;
To echo the previous and next parts, the word "brotherhood" is used;
The two parts used to ignite the conflict are the separation of husband and wife due to their deep love;
The places used to highlight the characteristics are car racing and gunfights, Justice of the Peace, underworld leaders, and bounties for murder...

The whole article has nothing to do with drug eradication!

After watching it, I felt the twilight of Hong Kong films: it was like trying to add all the elements of the golden age of Hong Kong films into a one hour and forty minute movie, hoping to still have the success of Hong Kong films in the entertainment-starved era...

Therefore, it has brotherhood, chivalry, black and white fights, life and death duels, horse racing, beauties, vendettas, and wealth.

But...it's really perfunctory!
Moreover, the camera control ability is appallingly poor. Although director Herman Yau was famous for his cult films back then, his camera control is not so bad - "Drug War 2" has achieved that.

As long as there are more than three people involved in a gunfight, you won’t be able to tell who is fighting whom. Even when there were only three of them left in the last gunfight, it was still unclear who was fighting who!

For Andy Lau and Louis Koo's sake, I'll just give you a passing grade...

It's just a passing score.

If it weren't for "The Devil", "Drug War 2" would be barely watchable. After all, Andy Lau VS Louis Koo, plus Michael Miu, this lineup is really rare!

Unfortunately, "The Evil Dead" was released.

Netizens are really complaining like crazy...

But after all, "The Evil Dead" has been released for almost a month...

Even with a wave of positive news, it will be difficult for "The Villain" to break 25 billion. After getting the extension key, the box office will be at most 24.5 billion...

Chen Jiadong explained it clearly and asked, "Any more questions?"

"Gone…"

Chen Jiadong continued: "... Director Liu Jiangjiang, whom you asked us to find out, is indeed preparing a movie..."

"Is it about funerals?"

"Yes... It's called 'The Man Who Planted Stars'!" "... OK, you help me make an appointment with him. Forget it, just tell him directly that I have invested in this movie... I will be the lead actor, and it will be released after June next year... in the second half of the year, I have time."

Lighting Up The Stars is Life Events…

Chen Jiadong took note and continued, "Wanhe Tianyi's Liu Xunzimo is indeed preparing for his first movie..."

"Is the script ready?"

"Not yet... the script is still being written..."

"Well..." Shen Liang nodded: "Keep in touch..."

“…Okay,” Chen Jiadong wrote it down, and then talked about “The Imperial Coroner” which will start filming next week: “The art and set design are in progress. I heard that Meng Ziyi has joined the crew in advance and is getting familiar with the crew…”

"Wait a minute," Shen Liang couldn't accept it. "Aren't you curious about where I got the news from?"

"what news?"

"Director Liu Jiangjiang, Director Liu Xunzimo... about preparing the work..."

Chen Jiadong said seriously: "...it's normal for you to have your own channels..."

Shen Liang…failed to show off, feeling a little depressed: “Forget it, go on!”

"A Sun Has Fallen has been selected as the opening film for the Xining Film Festival, so we'd better go..."

"Xining Film Festival..." Shen Liang frowned: "Do I have time?"

Chen Jiadong nodded: "We can still squeeze in... "Flowers" will be finished the day after tomorrow. We will go directly to Xining to catch the opening, and then return to Shenzhen to continue hosting "Sisters Who Make Waves"..."

Shen Liang was speechless: "...You have already arranged everything, so what else do you have to tell me?"

"If you don't want to go, then we won't go!"

“…I’d better go, after all, it’s the Xining Frist Film Festival…”

Wen Muye (Dying to Survive), Qi Yukun (Labyrinth of the Heart), and Zhang Dalei (August) all became famous at the Xining Film Festival...

In recent years, the Xining Film Festival has received increasing attention.

Many film investors are willing to go to Xining to try their luck - what if they meet the second Wen Muye?
The Xining itinerary was confirmed, and Shen Liang asked again: "Anything else?"

"It's Jing Yi from "The Imperial Coroner". Can we change the actor?"

Shen Liang interrupted directly: "Where is Jiang Qiming's problem?"

“…He…is not from our company…”

"He is an artist of Shuidi Entertainment Company, and I am also a shareholder of Shuidi Entertainment Company. What's wrong with me helping one of my own?"

Shuidi Agency, an agency formed by Shen Liang, Rao Xiaozhi, Guo Fan, Lu Yang and Wu Jing, has signed several good actors, including Zhu Yanmanzi, Jiang Qiming, Tian Xiwei, Zhao Jinmai...

Oh, Shen Liang’s aunt is the vice president of Shuidi Brokerage, responsible for the company’s daily operations.

“…The company wants you to train some new people…”

Shen Liang refused directly: "I'm not a nanny... Tell Long Danny, forget it this time, but if it happens next time, I will just leave!"

"Well, I see..."

Crossing out this item, Chen Jiadong was about to continue talking when Shen Liang’s phone rang. It was his idol calling…

"I have a call... Hello..."

Well, the idol called to congratulate the big hit of "Want to See You", but there was a hint of regret in his tone...

It is understandable. After all, Shen Liang originally planned to act in the drama "Want to See You" with his idol.

It’s just that the idol didn’t appear in the show!

The idol attributed this to "Unfortunately, I didn't see the script..."

Shen Liang asked back bluntly: "Even if you have seen the script, are you sure your team will agree to let you act in it? You should know that when the project of "Want to See You" was launched, the director was a newcomer, the leading actor was not famous enough, and the supporting actors were even newcomers..."
