I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 540: Works are the Confidence (24)

The best ending for the "Fast and Furious" series should be "Fast and Furious 7".

The problem is that this series is too profitable!
"Fast and Furious 8" is a pure popcorn thriller with poor plot and logic, and it grossed $12.15 billion worldwide.

Well… no reason not to continue!

Then there's Fast and Furious 9...

To be honest, I knew it would be bad, but it is rare to see it this bad...

No matter how the protagonist's team falls or fights, they will not get hurt. At most they will bleed a little and then be as good as never before, without any scars left.

No one would believe them if they were normal people, and it wouldn't work if they were directly changed to superheroes. In the end, the movie simply used the explanation of good luck to get away with it.

After the protagonist turns into this inhuman monster, it is difficult for the audience to empathize with the characters. The protagonists will not get hurt anyway, and even the most thrilling scenes cannot bring the audience any sense of tension.

The fights and explosions all turned into boring "bang bang bang".

In terms of plot, it is full of logical bugs. Even if you want to say that "Fast and Furious 9" is a science fiction film, it cannot be called a magic or fantasy film. It can only be said to be a magic or fantasy film.

For example, in the climax car chase scene, the protagonist team's cars are equipped with powerful electromagnets, turning their cars into weapons, making their methods more diverse and flexible.

But the question is why this electromagnet selectively attracts things and attracts whatever it is pointed at.

When it sucks the cars on both sides, it has no effect on the cars behind; when it sucks the street lamps, the cars next to it are fine.

Install a rocket thruster on the car, apply some coating, and two people can go directly into space without any astronaut training...

For popcorn movies, don’t take them too seriously, just enjoy watching them, that’s what I agree with.

But you are so bad that you wouldn't be this bad if you were just a little lazy. You are doing this on purpose.

Hollywood is indeed getting more and more boring: old-fashioned plots + political correctness - lots of Nako…

Even the milky white snow is not allowed to be seen...

What the audience likes to watch most is sex and violence, swords, spears, planes, tanks, artillery, fists and sticks. None of the elements that the people like to see most are included...

Even if you don't use these gimmicks, at least tell the story in an interesting way and take beautiful pictures.

Sorry, can't do it!
I guess if the Fast and Furious series continues, they will have to add a multiverse setting...

……

"I'm about to join the crew of 'Storm Chasers'...it's also a good show!"

Li Xueqing immediately asked: "How do you judge a good script and a bad script?"

"Smooth, complete character and novelty!"

"New?"

"The scripts that are sent to me now are all pretty good," Shen Liang explained. "Tengxun platform treats me very well. Basically, I will be the first to choose the top scripts... At this time, innovation is very important. "Storm Chasers" is also a revolutionary and historical theme, but it is different from other dramas of this type. Its focus is on the economy, and the protagonist is a junior employee who has just joined the central bank!"

“From a financial perspective?”

"Well, the protagonist was inexperienced at first. He experienced his brother's gold bar custody business and faced the complex and cruel situation of the enemy and us... When he experienced the absurdity of the counterfeit currency case, saw the Japanese invasion of Shanghai, the difference between the Chinese area and the concession area, and personally helped the 19th Army deliver anti-Japanese supplies, and then the construction of the treasury bills collapsed and the shameless cover-up of the truth afterwards.

The corruption of the Kuomintang, which destroyed its own Great Wall, and plundered the people's wealth, one by one, let him experience and grow and mature in his work and battles... It's very interesting, and the level of the director team is also very high..."

"And you took it?"

"Ah."

Li Xueqing asked: "Which would you choose, a good script or a good team?"

“I’ll buy the script and let a good team build it!”

"I can only choose one!" Shen Liang thought for a moment, and then said, "For "Life Events", I really like the script and offered a high price to buy it, but the screenwriter wanted to be the director himself, so I had no choice but to agree, and by the way, I became the producer myself to help him sort out the rhythm..."

"So, you prefer good scripts?"

"Yes, a good team, in addition to the director, costumes, props, and photography are also very important. These can be invited, but high-quality scripts are hard to come by! Once you find one, there is no reason to miss it!"

Then, the three of them talked about music...

This episode is over!

……

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is still very strong, and the box office is guaranteed to reach 5 million next weekend...

The cumulative box office is 18.6 billion...

The second weekend of "Fast and Furious 9" was only 9200 million, with a cumulative box office of 9.42 million...

By the way, two new films, “A Quiet Place 5” and “Stand by Me Doraemon 28: The Last Airbender” were released the following week, on May 2th…

It does not pose a threat to Zhou Chu.

As for the new movies scheduled for the summer season, there are only three new movies released until June 6th, including Bao Beier's "Sunny Sisters", Qiu Ze's "When a Man Falls in Love", and a Japanese animated film "Hello, World"...

It is estimated that "Zhou Chu" will dominate the charts for at least one month!

Maoyan gave a box office forecast of 28 billion.

The movie’s box office success did not add much to Shen Liang’s bottom line—he was already the top name in the domestic entertainment industry.

However, many people like the character of Chen Guilin, and a bunch of self-media followed suit and praised Shen Liang!
The biggest contributors are other actors and directors.

Tsui Hark… “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”, “The Thousand Faces of Dunjia” and “Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings”, three consecutive movies failed…

Many people suspect that he is no longer able to keep up with the times.

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" swept away the previous decline.

The Shushan movie is currently in preparation, and a bunch of producers want to join...

Oh, "Shu Mountain" was ultimately directed by Tsui Hark, and Lu Yang went to tinker with his "Assassination of Novelist" - "Underground Fire" was a hit, Lu Yang's status soared, and investors were willing to pay to satisfy his ideas. Shen Liang couldn't stop it, and even invested 3000 million to show his support!
Anyway, the cost is only 3.5 million yuan, and I estimate the probability of recovering it is quite high.

Back to Tsui Hark, he made "Shu Shan" three times, in the form of a trilogy, with the first part costing 5.5 million yuan, and the main special effects were handled by MORE VFX, and South Korea's Dexter Studios was also assigned some tasks. Tsui Hark is a shareholder of the Korean special effects company Dexter Studios...

Although a bunch of producers want to join, Tencent and China Film Group don’t want to share the cake…

"Shu Mountain", Tsui Hark + Shen Liang, a sure hit.

These were behind-the-scenes battles, and Shen Liang didn't really care...

However, Rouba’s reputation has indeed improved!

It turns out that the work is the actor's bargaining chip.

The character of Cheng Xiaomei is very pitiful, a Hong Konger's sex slave, and the character has some "Stockholm syndrome"...

The more pitiful the character, the more sympathy he will arouse from the audience!

The last role that Rouba played that was popular was Bai Fengjiu four years ago...

After being a top star for so many years, he finally has a role worthy of his recognition!
What's the situation now?
The post-85s collectively failed, but Zhang Zifeng succeeded in breaking through with "My Sister"...

Then Rouba has "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils"...
