I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 374: Too Crazy (13)

With such a high box office on the first day, Shen Liang was not surprised, but felt uneasy...

Bai Lu was puzzled: "What's wrong? Isn't it a big hit at the box office?"

Shen Liang rolled his eyes: "... Big sister, this is a boring art film. Think about it, The Last Night on Earth grossed 2.62 million on the first day and 2.82 million in the end, and the movie was badly criticized!"

Chen Jiadong, who was standing by, heard this and directly refuted: "But we don't have false propaganda..."

Well, "The Last Night on Earth", with its 'New Year's Eve kiss' marketing, set a record for the highest attendance rate.

It ushered in a large-scale backlash.

It set a record for the lowest reputation of Maoyan: 3.0 points...

You know, "Baby" has a score of 5.8!

Shen Liang immediately retorted: "The audience who are watching an entertainment film will not care about these things. They will definitely complain about it... Look, Maoyan's score is only 9.3 points... Damn, Maoyan gave it 9.3 points?"

Shen Liang was startled...

Maoyan actually gave it 9.3?

Am I wrong, or is there something wrong with this world?
“…Douban’s score is 8.2, mostly positive reviews!”

"Then...what about Zhihu?"

“Zhihu…is not a professional movie forum…”

"Look..."

“85% positive…”

All the data show good...

Shen Liang still couldn't rest assured, so he asked again: "What about the total box office forecast?"

“…15 billion!”

"Bullshit..." Shen Liang simply called his father and asked him about his departure...

A few minutes later, he hung up the phone with a very interesting expression...

Dad told him that "Sunny Day" almost didn't leave the stage...

No, this is a really boring movie!
Shen Liang himself was too lazy to watch it a second time...

"How to say?"

"Don't talk yet," Shen Liang waved his hand: "Let me see the public's comments..."

Open Baidu and search for "A Sun", the first result is "The best movie of the year has appeared!", followed by "What does the movie "A Sun" want to express?"

A bunch of similar stuff...

It’s obvious that this marketing account is trying to take advantage of the popularity!

Click on it randomly, and there is a sentence: "Shen Liang obviously didn't have a clear idea of ​​the film's positioning. He said, 'The box office won't be very high, and the market doesn't like this kind of film.' But he didn't expect that 'the market likes this kind of film that has depth but is not pretentious!'…"

I flipped through several pages and found nothing but favorable comments. The worst criticism was that it was "full of male chauvinism"...

Well, I got punched!

This is normal. The core of the conflict in "A Sun" is patriarchy...

It’s definitely the male gaze angle!
But other than that, there's really no negative reviews...

No one called it false marketing...

Am I overthinking it?
Shen Liang put down his phone, and Bai Lu reminded him: "…it's time for us to board the plane!"

"…it is good."

Shen Liang asked Bai Lu: "What are you going to shoot in Hengdian?"

"Yulouchun..."

"A play by Yu Zheng?"

"Well, comedy..."

“The market for period comedy has always been huge, keep it up!”

Bai Lu suddenly asked: "…'Love Like a Bouquet', why didn't they choose me?" "…The production company found Li Yitong!"

"…Really? I heard that you are the producer and screenwriter of this play…"

Shen Liang immediately said: "It is because I am a producer, so I cannot use the back door..."

Bai Lu was speechless: "Brother, do you believe what you said?"

Shen Liang's expression was very sincere: "...I believe it!"

"…You wouldn't really work with every ex-girlfriend once, would you, as netizens say?"

“…I don’t have so many ex-girlfriends…”

Bai Lu counted on her fingers: "I know quite a few, Zhang Yuxi, Wang Yuwen..."

Shen Liang quickly interrupted her: "...You care about me so much?"

"…Yeah, I want to show some concern for my dear ex-boyfriend. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, no problem... It's normal... Let's go, get on the plane!"

……

Shen Liang did not experience the rapid progress...

Mainly because I was too tired, I fell asleep as soon as I sat down on the plane. When I woke up, I had already arrived in Dongyang.

Waving goodbye to Bai Lu, Shen Liang got in the car and headed to the resting place...

In the following days, he was immersed in the filming of "The Imperial Coroner". Of course, he also paid attention to "A Sun"...

The first day was 3.02 million, the second day was 1.36 million, and the third day, which was Friday, August 8, was 8 million. It was the single-day box office champion for three consecutive days, breaking the monopoly of "Ne Zha"...

The box office in three days was 5.65 million!
According to this trend, even if the weekend is not good enough, we can still earn more than 2.5 million...

With this calculation, the box office of "A Sun" reached 8 million in the first five days of its release!
Shen Liang was completely numb. During the live broadcast for several consecutive days, he first said, "A Sun Is Not a Commercial Entertainment Film. It is Very Discomfortable to Watch." Later, he simply said, "A Sun Is Not a Commercial Entertainment Film. It is Not a Traditional Theater Film."...

It's useless, drowned out by the praises!

Especially after the reputation of "Shanghai Fortress" was released, a lot of people used Shen Liang to step on Lu Han...

Shen Liang has a long scene in the detention center in "Sunny Days", with a crew cut. Compare it with Lu Han's bangs...

'The audience can tell if someone is acting with their heart!'

Shen Liang… has nothing to say!
Do you think Shen Liang is pretentious?
Really not, he is mainly worried about the market feedback for his next work!

Public opinion praises him too highly...

The box office performance of "A Sun" is abnormal, but the market is fair. If you take more this time, you will definitely have to pay it back in the future, just like "The Bravest". Many people think that the movie itself is at least acceptable.

So?

Yue Yunpeng has starred in so many bad movies. Is it normal that he had low reputation and high box office before?

A film that barely passed muster wants to change public opinion? Change the label?

After Dapeng's "Pancake Man", he spent nearly ten years paying off his debts, including "Sewing Machine Band", "Good Luck", "Keep You Safe"...

The drama "Keep You Safe" will definitely make over 1 billion if the male lead is replaced!
Shen Liang was worried that he would be like this in the future.

At the beginning, I just thought that the popularity of Xiao Zhan and Wang Yi-bo would play a certain role in promoting "A Sun".

Yes, it did. The failure of Shanghai Fortress helped boost the popularity of A Sun...

And it’s not just a normal boost – on August 8, Saturday, the single-day box office of “A Sun” exceeded 10 million yuan, and on August 2, “A Sun” earned another 8 million yuan…

After five days of its first week, "A Sun" grossed 9.3 million yuan!
Shen Liang posted on Weibo: "Thank you for supporting "Sunshine"... Thank you...

But I still think that the film "A Sun" is quite depressing and not suitable for the tastes of most audiences, so choose carefully!"

After posting the post on Weibo, he sighed, thinking, "This is terrible. Bouquet of Love probably won't even make 500 million!"

When I opened the comment section, a bunch of Xiao Zhan’s fans came to check in: “Thank you, producer. Xiao Zhan’s fans are very satisfied with his performance!”

Then there are the fans of Wang Yibo, and finally the normal comments, well, not really normal, the one with the highest number of likes is: 'It's quite healing, I decided to watch it again! '
