I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 492: Saving the Market (24)

"When I was acting, I definitely didn't portray myself as a villain. Qiu Gangao is a very paranoid person...After experiencing a huge gap in life, he began to seek revenge!"

"Before saving Mr. Huo, Qiu Gangao was full of energy and ambition, with a promotion in sight and love in his heart. He was a positive role model in the eyes of the police force who had achieved success in both career and love. After saving Mr. Huo, Qiu Gangao changed: his smart and handsome face was covered with scars, his identity as a policeman turned into a murderer with a criminal record, and his fiancée Aqing also left him..."

"I previously suggested filming a scene where Zhang Chongbang and Qiu Gangao fight side by side to deepen their brotherhood...but the director refused!"

Shen Liang said a lot...

It does not cover up the shortcomings of "Raging Fire".

However, it is estimated that these will be deleted - it is not easy to see a work that can save the market, so it must be praised!
"The last sentence is what Qiu Gangao said before he died: 'If you had gone after Coke that day, would our lives have been reversed?' What does it mean?"

"This sentence is just a temporary expression... to add a sense of fate..."

“Will there be a sequel?”

"In fact, Zhen Zidan once said: "Don't die, there is still a second part." But I think: "He has no other choice... All his brothers have left, and he has cut off his own life... Qiu Gangao will definitely die, but we found Xie Tingfeng, he will play "Rage Spread"... which is the sequel!"

"Will you appear in the sequel?"

"We should be filming a segment... in the form of a cameo."

"Will you work with director Benny Chan again in the future?"

"Of course, I really like action movies, and there are not many directors I trust. Director Chen is the best choice!"

“Thank you for accepting the interview…”

"You're welcome…"

……

After seeing off the China Film Report team, Shen Liang returned to his room and took a quick shower...

too hot!
Hengdian in August really feels like a scorching heat.

"Lotus Tower", the afternoon scenes are a relatively complete plot... the emotions are very coherent.

But the horse can't stand the sun...

After a rush, Shen Liang felt like he was back!
Then I opened my phone and checked the real-time box office on Maoyan: "The Angry Case" 1.87 million...

It’s around 7: in the evening now. If we end today, it will be no problem to break million!
"Raging Fire" accounted for 85% of the market...

The combined box office of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Bad Boys for Life is 3000 million...

An absolute market rescue work!
Shen Liang breathed a sigh of relief...

Even if it can’t break 20 billion as Maoyan predicted, it can at least earn 10 billion!
His appeal remains strong.

After checking the word of mouth, um, the Douban score has also dropped to 7.7 points...

There should be room for further decline! But Shen Liang doesn't care...

Marketing accounts, especially those with the most fans, praised "Raging Fire" in various ways, saying things like "It's proven that when the film industry was in the most difficult times, Chinese audiences still stuck with it. They won't miss a really good film!", "Raging Fire, the over-the-top, crazy Hong Kong film, is back!"

Opening the live broadcast room, Shen Liang greeted with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm here again!"

“…Have you watched “Raging Fire”? What do you think of it?”

"I have always been a good fighter. I have practiced Sanda and free fighting... This time I worked with Zhen Zidan and it was a great experience!"

"Qin Lan is just a cameo...Oh, Sister Qin Lan, I'm pretty close to her, but she only filmed for five days and then left!"

"In Hong Kong-style police and gangster films, the roles of women are generally not very important. There are regulations for Hong Kong co-productions, one of which is that the proportion of the main actors from the mainland must not be less than one-third of the total number of the main actors in the film, so usually a female supporting role is invited..."

"'Story of Yanxi Palace' is very popular in Hong Kong, so the crew invited Qin Lan to play the leading female role..."

"Hong Kong's police and gangster films mainly highlight men, and masculinity is the core of the film, so naturally the weight of female characters is less..."

"I personally feel that Director Chen has been gentle enough to Qin Lan. You know, in New Police Story, Jackie Chan's fiancée, played by Charlie Yeung, was disfigured, and in True Colors of a Man, Tse Ting-feng's fiancée was killed in an explosion... This time, she survived, and her child is fine too. It's a miracle!"

“…I read the script of “Raging Fire” and I also felt it was quite divisive. In “SPL”, Zhen Dan punched the prisoner into cerebral palsy, but she was still a good police officer. In “Flash Point”, Wu Chi Lin was beaten to death on the spot. The boss played by Xu Qing questioned him, and he said: Then you arrest me”

"Too many elements... Too lazy to complain... Oh, Wu Chi Lin is a character in "Ip Man", yes, yes, yes... Forgot, forgot, the character played by Shi Xingyu, the second of the Vietnamese trio..."

Many brothers say Qiu Gangao is innocent and Zhang Chongbang is hypocritical...

Shen Liang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I don't think so. Why did Ao and the others go to jail? It's because they couldn't stand the pressure from their superiors, so they carried out lynching and even killed someone... If it was Zhang Chongbang, he would definitely stand the pressure from his superiors."

"The senior police officers and Situ Jie are very shrewd. They want to use this opportunity to flatter the rich businessman and pave the way for their own careers. He also hinted to Ao, who is usually very shrewd, that he can do whatever it takes. Why didn't he hint to the prince to do so? Because the prince is such a stubborn person!"

"From Zhang Chongbang's attitude at the dinner party at the beginning of the film, we can tell... He is a principled person. However, if you don't use your brain, you will always be a plane. Zhang Chongbang only knows how to catch thieves every day. He has no social skills and can't get promoted. The most tragic thing for Qiu Gangao is that he followed the wrong boss!"

"In the internal trial scene, Qiu Gangao showed no remorse at all... He killed someone, but he didn't even show any remorse in front of the judge. His eyes told the audience that what I did was right, and that Zhang Chongbang was wrong for not lying to cover up for him. Ao is vicious and selfish by nature!"

"Don't think that it's okay just because I played this role."

"If that happens, I'll feel like a failure..."

"Let me reveal something. Didn't Xie Tingfeng appear at the end of the film? The character he played was actually Qiu Gangao's good brother. He was the one who always gave Qiu Gangao clues. Otherwise, how could Qiu Gangao always be one step ahead of the police force... After this incident, Qiu, played by Xie Tingfeng, left the police force... and then there was another melee..."

"Yes, the sequel, "Rage Spreads"..."

"I... should make a cameo appearance and invest some money as one of the producers..."

"Rouba died as soon as he appeared... There's nothing we can do about it. The character she played, Aqing, was just a tool, just like Elva Hsiao in Infernal Affairs... In the subsequent drama we worked together, Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils, she played Xiaomei and had a lot of scenes!"

"No, Elva Hsiao starred in Infernal Affairs. Don't you know that?"
