I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 496 Introducing a friend? (24)

Shen Liang did not regard "Eight Hundred" as a rival!
Right now, theaters have reached a critical moment of survival, so movies should not fight with each other.

In fact, "Raging Fire" has been a top player in theaters since the very beginning.

The release date of "Raging Fire" has been announced, and the number of people who want to watch it on the two major ticket sales platforms has increased by 300%...

It has reached the best since the resumption of work. Although it is not as good as the previous 20 billion and 30 billion box office seed players, it can be seen that "Raging Fire" has indeed played a role in promoting the recovery of theaters!

In addition, before the release of "Raging Fire", the mainland market had been tepid. After 25 days of resumption of work, the market had only accumulated 6.07 million yuan, less than half of the single-day box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year last year. The single-day box office on weekdays was more around 2000-3000 million yuan. Compared with the same period last year, the box office recovery rate was even less than 15%...

As a result, as soon as "Raging Fire" was released, the box office soared to over 2 million on the first day!
The first weekend box office exceeded 7 million!
Including three consecutive working days with daily sales exceeding 100 million.

Compared with the less than 500 million on the first day of resumption of work, it has improved by more than 20 times. It can be said that with the help of "Raging Fire", the mainland film market has officially recovered about 80% of last year's market performance, truly saving the market.

There are even many cinemas, especially small and medium-sized ones, which only resumed operations after the release of "Raging Fire".

Cinemas have initially returned to their previous state.

Everyone regards "Raging Fire" as a life-saving straw.

In comparison, the situation of "Eight Hundred" is relatively poor...

Originally it was supposed to be the top commercial production in theaters this year, a work to save the market, but this title was snatched away by "Raging Fire"!

Especially since the film was scheduled, a large number of contents protesting and boycotting the film have appeared on many platforms such as Weibo, Tieba, and Zhihu, which has had a certain impact on the online public opinion of the film.

In terms of the early public opinion, especially the audience support, Shen Liang's "Raging Fire" far surpasses "Eight Hundred"...

There's nothing I can do, it's Guan Hu's fault for being so pretentious.

However, Shen Liang feels that even if "Eight Hundred" fails to reach the 31 billion box office of the original time and space, it should still be stable at over 15 billion.

There is a high probability that it will exceed 20 billion!
Next, until the National Day holiday, there are not many films on the market competing with "Raging Fire" and "The Eight Hundred" for screenings, considering that "Raging Fire" is an action-packed movie - and it's a pack of movies, so it's hard to watch it a second time.

There is a high probability that "Eight Hundred" will achieve a box office revenue of around 9 billion in September.

After all, it is a real big production.

……

On August 8, "Eight Hundred" premiered, and it was almost as Shen Liang predicted, with a box office of 21 million on the first day, plus the five days of previews before, the cumulative box office was 6000 million...

The next day, it took in 1.07 million yuan at the box office, and 2.8 million yuan in its first weekend.

"Raging Fire" remained the box office champion of the next weekend, and even on August 8, it set a new box office record since its release: 22 million.

After ten days of release, the cumulative box office has exceeded 18 billion!
In addition to thanking the audience and releasing the song "Confrontation" on QQ Music, Shen Liang also released a clip of Rouba being beaten by him on Douyin...

Caption: Thank you little sister... for coming to guest star for a day and got slapped three times!

The netizen below replied: You are so cruel!
Shen Liang quickly pinned the post: I couldn’t bear to hit her… The girl said, ‘Do you look down on me and don’t regard me as an actor?’ Then I used all my strength…

Rouba also replied quickly: Next time, when you come to make a guest appearance, I will fight back!
Shen Liangze said: The script of "Kim's Secretary" is about to be released, and it will include a scene where you hit me...

Then, the project of "Kim's Secretary" was announced - Tencent's 2021 S+ project, directed by Zhang Xiaobo, written by Zhang Yingji, starring Rouba, Shen Liang... the number of episodes is 35.

Shen Liang explained during the live broadcast: "I bought the copyright of the Korean comic book "Kim's Secretary" before, and asked senior Zhang Yingji to adapt it..."

"The film is called 'Why Secretary Kim'. The whole story revolves around Secretary Kim. In terms of the role, I am definitely the second best!" "The main reason is that Rouba looks good in a professional suit... Plus, the lady did make a cameo appearance for free. I am very grateful to her, so I showed her the script and she liked it very much..."

"It's estimated that the filming will start next year, so we have to wait. I have two dramas on hand, "Storm Chaser" and "The Beginning", and two movies, "Changjin Lake" and "Famous", waiting to be filmed... No rush!"

"I'm still filming Lotus Tower..."

……

Shen Liang may have revealed this by accident, but in fact, it has increased the popularity of "Raging Fire: Serious Case"~
It will definitely increase as Shen Liang + Rouba continue to cooperate.

This news immediately became a hot topic...

What was Shen Liang’s consideration?
The main reason is that the weekday box office of "Eight Hundred" is close to that of "Raging Fire" - on August 8, the single-day box office of "Eight Hundred" was 24 million, while that of "Raging Fire" was 7800 million...

Overtaking is inevitable!

But hopefully that day will come later!
And August 8th is Chinese Valentine's Day, and "I'll Wait for You at the End of Time", "Wild Oats" and "Little Women" are online...

In the original time and space, "I'll Wait for You at the End of Time" earned more than 2.8 million yuan at the box office on Valentine's Day.

This time, after "A Bouquet of Love", Li Yitong has the ambition to become the top female star in the romance film industry - pre-sales directly exceeded 3000 million!
Loud.

By the way, after "I'll Wait for You at the End of Time", Guangguang immediately continued the strategy of making this type of movies - every holiday, especially the so-called love-related holidays, such as Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, there will be movies with similar themes released. In general, they are low-cost, bitter and abusive love movies.

They released the film on the day of the holiday, and used a large-scale marketing campaign that linked the holiday to love. The purpose was clear: to make a small profit with a big one, and to count on the box office revenue on this day to make up for the loss.

——A temple fair type movie.

It really works!
A super bad movie like "Ten Years of Warmth" had a box office of 1.43 million on the first day~
However, what Shen Liang did not expect was that his idol actually called to ask about "Kim's Secretary". The key point was that she was not asking on her own behalf, but on behalf of her friend, Yang Tianbao!
Hearing this name, Shen Liang rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you kidding?"

"Tianbao is still very beautiful!"

"...Sister, you think too much. I don't dare to film with her!"

"...She is quite serious..." After a pause, Yang Mi said, "Besides, didn't you say before that you like her very much?"

"Did you recognize the wrong person?" After replying, Shen Liang felt something was wrong, so he asked, "...Is she next to you?"

"Ahem, yes..."

"Oh...then tell her it's impossible!"

“…She said she was willing to reduce her pay…”

"Sister, did you listen to me?"

"Let's discuss it, ok? Then you can discuss it with the producer first..."

"Are you crazy? I'm the producer... Hey... Hey, damn!"

The idol hung up the phone directly...

Shen Liang… was completely speechless!
