I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 363 Film Festival (23)

Cooperate again?
In the following years, Guangguang has been making youth love movies...

Then each one is worse than the last.

Even a super bad movie like "Ten Years of Tenderness" was produced!

However, Guangguang signed a contract with Zhang Yi for three dramas!
"On the Cliff" is pretty good...

In addition, they also bet on Guo Jingming to make "The Yin Yang Master: Dream of Eternity";
There is also a movie called "The Thorn", which was suspended due to the epidemic, and was later re-filmed and renamed "Smooth Sailing"...

Therefore, Shen Liang did not refuse directly, but said: "It depends on fate..."

Li Xiaoping smiled and said, "You mean reading the script?"

"…almost…"

"Don't worry, we will definitely find you if there is a suitable script..." Li Xiaoping nodded, and then said: "But if you have a project, don't forget us at Guangguang!"

"Of course, of course..."

Guangguang owns Maoyan, and Shen Liang has collaborated with Maoyan on several of his films...

Li Xiaoping looked at Li Yitong: "Where's Yitong?"

"Just look for me and I'll come!"

"Guangguang is making some dramas recently, and there are some that are suitable for you!"

"really?"

Shen Liang interrupted: "Don't do it like in "Swordsman"..."

"Absolutely not!"

The Guangguang version of "Swordsman", the one starring Ding Guansen, is known as the ugliest Linghu Chong in history...

It's so bad that I can't bear to watch it!

Not only did it only have a Douban score of 2.4, but after it aired, netizens lined up to apologize to Yu Zheng.

It's really true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. The Light Media version of "Swordsman" is so bad that it completely crushes the original version.

Yu Zheng made it into a romance drama according to his usual routine, but at least Huo Jianhua's looks can be used to satisfy the fantasy of young girls.

However, Guangguang's "Swordsman" completely let itself go and did not give any chance for praise.

The producer, and the main producer, had the national IP, but played it badly. Not only did it fail to leave a good reputation, it even failed to gain much traffic.

Guangguang was also very depressed. Shen Liang directly pointed out that Li Xiaoping was a little embarrassed, but she also readily admitted: "This is because our production team did not do a good job... The casting and production were all done by the director team..."

Oh, the director of the Guangguang version of "Swordsman" is Jin Chen, the one who created the super bad movie "Warring States".

“So, we decided to do a modern drama…”

"…come on!"

Guangguang...if I remember correctly, it seems that it has released a list of 14 dramas for next year, including "Mountain and River Pillow", "You Are Born, I Am Old", "Her Little Dimples", "Qilin", "Golden Jade Dynasty" and many other IP adaptation projects.

Then...until 2024, "Mountain and River Pillow" finally started filming!

Oh, we also talked about the release date of "A Bouquet of Love", which should be the Lunar New Year holiday.

Guangguang expects the box office of "A Bouquet of Love" to be 8 million to 10 billion...

Apart from the Spring Festival, National Day and summer vacation periods, the only other period that can achieve such box office results is the Lunar New Year period!
……

Recently, a new movie "Galaxy Tutorial" was released in the film market...

New works by Deng Chao.

To be precise, the new work of Deng Chao and Yu Baimei!
Deng Chao was full of confidence this time, and he followed the example of "Dying to Survive" and started to preview the film in advance...

This crappy movie profoundly proves how correct what Professor Yang Jiang said is: Your problem is mainly that you don’t read enough and think too much.

The film wants to explore both fatherly love and education, but there are big problems in both. The film is obviously criticizing the examination-oriented education system, but the discussion is not in-depth at all, the intensity is too small, too shallow, too superficial, and all the things it talks about are things that everyone already knows, such as quality education, not giving up on poor students, not measuring a student by scores, and knowledge that cannot be learned from textbooks...

All the words are clichés, but none of the real points are mentioned.

First of all, you can’t think that there is something wrong with the education system just because you have poor grades!

"Galaxy Tutorial Class" only says that there are problems with the education system, but he cannot tell what the problems are or how to improve them.

Have you studied hard? Then you start blaming the system.

Can you skip classes if you want to go sightseeing or watch an air show?

It is said that one should combine work and rest, but the audience only sees the rest and not the work.

As a poor student, what qualifications do you have to laugh at the top students?

However, no matter how many problems "Galaxy Tutorial" has, it is still much better than "The Breakup Master" and "Bad Angels". Deng Chao also stopped acting crazy and started making serious movies, which is worth affirming.

Whether you can shoot well or not is a question of ability, whether you shoot with your heart or not is a question of attitude.

Having the right attitude can let the audience see your sincerity, which is always a good thing!
However, the box office of "Galaxy Tutorial" was still good. Together with the box office of the preview, it exceeded 4 million in the first weekend.

Then the next week, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" was released...

……

Xining Film Festival is considered an independent film festival.

It is positioned as a youth film festival - Frist Film Festival!

From a positioning perspective, the greatest value of the film festival, in addition to serving the vast number of film lovers, lies in connecting the upstream and downstream of the industry and providing a platform for communication between the market and creators.

That is to discover new people.

The Frist Film Festival has indeed played this role, at least it has provided a lot of fresh blood to the mainstream film market.

For veteran filmmakers, independent films can effectively elevate the brand's profile!

You come here to prove that you love movies!
Shen Liang...Do you like movies?

Rather than saying he loves movies, it’s better to say he loves the benefits behind movies…

In fact, most people in the circle are like him...

Before coming here, Shen Liang had some ideas about the Xining Film Festival - no red carpet ceremony, just straight to the main course!

This seems incredible to many celebrities.

After arriving, I only participated in one activity and then lost interest...

Self-absorption is so powerful!

Although the audience's ratings are announced every day, there are also Q&A sessions with the creators at the screenings, and some viewers directly express their doubts, the filmmakers are still immersed in the self-indulgence of "I am the best in the world", and the various activities of the film festival have also fueled this sentiment.

At forums and interviews, the hosts only give compliments and ask pretty, bland questions about personal feelings, upbringing, and opinions about a city...

Filmmakers can also talk big without any self-awareness.

But these movies clearly focus on social realities, but the results are garbage. Why don't they delve deeper into the views on social issues or the shortcomings in filming?

Protect young creators?
Yes, creators should be respected and protected, but this does not mean creating a vacuum environment for them, limiting their already narrow vision, and irrigating their already inexplicable self-confidence...

So, during the interview after the screening of A Sun, he didn’t say a word until an audience member mentioned the plight of actresses over 30…

Oh, at the film festival yesterday, Hai Qing made a strong statement, "I hope the market will give more opportunities to middle-aged actresses"...

He also said something like 'our pay is very cheap'.

The reason why I asked Shen Liang was probably because of "Sisters Who Make Waves", he was the planner...
