I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 535 Finale (14)

Looking for a steady girlfriend?

Chen Jiadong was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "You're honest now that you have a steady girlfriend?"

"…have no idea…"

Shen Liang answered honestly: "It is highly likely... not..."

"…Then why do you have a steady girlfriend?"

“…Should I be more restrained then?”

"Of course, the public opinion is getting stricter now..."

“But I didn’t do anything too outrageous, we just discussed art with each other…”

"Then don't be too presumptuous...When you go out for social events, be sure to bring your assistant with you!"

"I usually don't bother to meet people I don't know well."

"Well, be careful..." After a pause, Chen Jiadong continued, "After your filming of 'Changjin Lake' is finished, we will arrange for Rouba to visit the set... and take some photos!"

Shen Liang was puzzled: "…what?"

"To hype up the scandal and warm up for "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils"..."

"Don't let her come, it's too much trouble... Our crew is shooting in a closed environment, and I don't have time to see her..."

"Then...what should we do?"

"I'm almost done filming. After I finish, I'll go find her!"

"Oh, I see."

Chen Jiadong repeated: "If someone is looking for you, don't be alone..."

“I understand…”

Chen Jiadong is worried that Shen Liang will be tempted...

This is a highly profitable industry, and any random project involves tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Many people with strong backgrounds, ability and willingness to work hard are trying their best to get in and get a bite of the fat meat. One bite is equal to several years' salary for an office worker!

Shen Liang is now a cash cow.

"Underground Fire" had a cost of 2.5 million yuan, with publicity and promotion costs approaching 48.6 million yuan. It had a box office of 19 billion yuan in mainland China, and the producers' share of the profits exceeded billion yuan!
The net profit from box office alone exceeded 10 billion!
The revenue from the new media version + online on-demand service is close to 5 million yuan.

In addition, overseas copyrights also brought in more than 3000 million US dollars...

"Underground Fire" performed very well at the overseas box office, with the North American box office alone exceeding 2000 million US dollars, and the overall overseas box office exceeding 5000 million US dollars!
A movie generates profits no less than a listed company’s annual profits!

The colder the winter, the more resources will be tilted towards the top actors...

There are really a lot of people looking for him!

It is conceivable that once he shows up, he will find it difficult to resist the temptation of sugar-coated bullets.

When you have a meal or a drink, they send beautiful girls to your room, all of them are girls in their twenties...

How does he control it?

This is normal. The entertainment industry is the circle with the most and highest quality beauties in the world, and film production is at the upstream of the profit chain.

Shen Liang couldn't bear it either, so he chose to solve these problems from the root - no chance!
He never uses actors whose memories he has no!

……

"The entertainment industry is not as chaotic as you think. There are many graduates from the three major performing arts schools. After graduation, they devote themselves to drama, cherish their reputation... It is very likely that they will find an art group in a second- or third-tier city, work honestly, and conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by the unit. They will only be active on the stage of drama and dance drama for their entire lives, and concentrate on honing their acting skills.

She is willing to endure loneliness, occasionally taking an advertisement to improve her food, and going to film if her friends introduce her to it. But if you make unreasonable demands, she will turn around and leave.

If they don't earn your money, it's not like they can't survive, so what's the point?

"Tolerance makes one great, and lack of desire makes one strong - if a person has no desires, what can you do to her?"

Shen Liang is here to live stream again...

He is not defending the entertainment industry - the entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, you are here for fame and fortune, so don't pretend to be a saint!
However, Shen Liang was a little unhappy when his fans posted comments mocking the group of actors - not all actors are after fame and fortune.

“I know a young lady who worked in a film crew for half a year after graduation. What she saw and heard made her feel that she couldn’t adapt and she was unwilling to give up her principles and bottom line.

She turned around and went back to her hometown, married a wealthy local man, and occasionally sponsored a small art group in the local area to organize a drama or a skit. When she was in the mood, she would go to the theater to watch a few tickets to satisfy her enjoyment. She lived a very comfortable life! " "You can't deny the entire group of actors because of a small number of people! I admit that some so-called actors nowadays have nothing but a good face, and they want to take shortcuts. What else can they do?"

"But there are still many people in the industry who love the performing arts. They just study acting, take the exam for the drama theater, and perform in dramas. They have a stable income, which is almost the same as working..."

"208... I never look at the pay when I accept a role... I usually invest part of it myself, and then the pay is converted into a share of the box office revenue. For "Underground Fire"... my total share is 28%... You can calculate how much money I made!"

"Including the movie "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" which will be released next week, I didn't receive much salary, it was basically investment + profit sharing..."

Soon a fan calculated his earnings...

"A movie made more than 2019 million... You have to look at the cycle. Preparations for Underground Fire began in the first half of , filming took place in the second half, and post-production took eight months. From project approval to release, it took three years!"

“…The film “Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils” was shot in March last year and released in May this year… It was quite explicit and took a long time to pass the review…”

A comment came from the barrage: 'It is recommended that all actors get a share of the profits'...

Shen Liang asked back: "What if it doesn't pass the review? Nine out of ten projects fail. Who can guarantee that the project they are involved in will be released smoothly?

You have to know that most traffic sources cannot guarantee the quality of the film and the box office, and the shelf life of traffic sources is very short. They want to make as much money as possible within the shelf life. They generally don’t do this kind of long-term business... What if the house collapses? "

"Why do traffic stars often participate in TV dramas... Because TV dramas sell exclusive broadcast rights, rotation broadcast rights, online broadcast rights, product placement, audio and video, TV time slot advertising, overseas copyrights, etc., while movies sell box office, peripheral products, audio and video, and online broadcast rights... If a movie does not perform well at the box office, or is directly defined as a bad movie, then the subsequent revenue will basically be negative..."

“I also invested in “Changjin Lake”…”

"Okay, let's stop here... Oh, by the way, the filming of "Changjin Lake" will be completed in three days!"

In the last sentence, Shen Liang's tone was relaxed and happy...

It's finally over!

……

"It's done!"

"Finished!"

At five in the morning, the last shot was over, Shen Liang took the beer handed to him by Wu Jing and prepared to drink it directly...

"Wait a minute, Director!"

"…oh,"

Dante Lam also came, the three of them toasted together, the photographer took a photo, and then Shen Liang raised his beer and drank it all...

After drinking, Dante Lam advised: "Go back and have a rest..."

Shen Liang shook his head: "No need to rest, I will take a bus to Dandong Langtou Airport and then return to BJ..."

Dante Lam gave a thumbs up: "You are indeed a young man, full of energy!"

“…The director too!”

Dante Lam waved his hands: "When I was young, I was fine. I worked like hell and could go without sleep for three days and three nights and still be energetic. But now I can't do that anymore!"

Wu Jing interrupted: "You two should stop praising each other. I have to go back to bed anyway..."

"Then I'll go back with you to clean up..."

"Then... Director, see you next time!"

"goodbye!"

Shen Liang and Wu Jing got in the car and talked about energy...

Wu Jing talked about a person: "I know that Jackie Chan was very strong when he was young. I heard a lot of stories about him when I was in Hong Kong. He was simply a superman.

"Police Story" and "Heart of Dragon" were filmed at the same time. The shopping mall for "Police Story" was rented for only a few days. After the lease expired, it would be impossible to shoot anymore, so "Police Story" was filmed at night and "Heart of Dragon" during the day, working continuously at a high intensity without rest.

Especially at night, we had to shoot action scenes all night long with high intensity. On the day of shooting the famous scene of jumping off a building, my palms were burned and my spine was injured. I drank a beer and got in the car directly to the set of "Heart of Dragon". I slept for an hour in the car. When I arrived at the set, my hands were so weak that I didn't even have the strength to open the car door. I got out of the car and shot literary scenes all day, and I had to show off my acting skills and emotional output. I went back home at night to continue shooting "Police Stories".

He is still full of energy all year round despite this work pace. The key point is that all this is done while his body is covered with injuries and often inflamed.

With this intensity, a normal person would have died of exhaustion eight times already..."

Shen Liang nodded: "I've heard of it too. When I first started my martial arts career, I was nicknamed "the one who drinks bull blood". I was born to be more vigorous than someone who has taken chicken blood."
