I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 572 Poor Little Girl (13)

"What's wrong? You want to spend money on me?"

"Can't you?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "I don't spend women's money. I started writing when I was in high school and took photos for magazines. After entering college, I started live streaming. My monthly income is six figures... Besides, in terms of net worth, I am much higher than you!"

Naza was not convinced: "But I am also very rich!"

Indeed, Naza endorsed the Ledo game "Sky Change" in 2015. It is reported that the contract amount was as high as 2400 million yuan!

Just one year after graduating from college, she bought a house at Fanyue 108, BJ International Trade Center.

Later I bought a large flat...

Still very rich!

However, he is definitely not as good as Shen Liang.

Shen Liang has endorsements for more than 30 brands, and the endorsement fees alone are more than 200 million per year, plus his acting career...

Although I haven’t calculated it specifically, it should be in the tens digits!

The annual profits of ordinary listed companies cannot match his.

So, when Shen Liang heard Naza say that he was rich, he casually replied, "I know, I know..."

"…Then I'll buy you a gift? What do you want?"

"I don't need anything..." Shen Liang replied subconsciously, then he remembered something: "How about you buy a cheongsam and wear it for me next time we meet?"

"Cheongsam... OK!" Naza nodded: "Hey, do you keep all your money in the bank?"

"I basically converted all of it into gold... The current economic situation is not good, real estate and restaurants are not good choices... Oh, and I also invest in movies and TV series..."

"I almost forgot that you invested in Life Events!"

“I am just one of the producers…”

"But the total cost of Life Events is less than 5000 million. Can't you afford it?"

"Even if I can afford it, I can't take it all by myself... I have to give up part of the pie!" Shen Liang explained: "Generally, for projects, traditional film and television companies must be involved, but once you use their investment, you will inevitably be asked by the investors to make concessions on the filming location, sponsoring brands, and roles. In the end, you have to make changes to the script to add certain shots..."

"What about you? You can't do it either?"

"I am a special case... I have absolute control over my projects, and I rarely work with traditional film and television companies..."

After a pause, Shen Liang added: "I can try many themes and make big productions worth 300 to 500 million yuan. It's impossible for ordinary people!"

"why?"

"Because investors don't like big investments, science fiction movies, fantasy epics, historical blockbusters. If a project goes wrong, the entire company's annual financial report will be in the red! They like comedies and romances with production costs ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions..."

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore, let's eat!"

Shen Liang stood up and prepared to go downstairs. Nazha smiled charmingly: "I'm leaving tomorrow..."

"You have to eat too..."

“You can order food…”

……

Shen Liang actually has very little confidence in domestic films!
The types of movies that capital likes are always those with low investments. For this type of movies, the filming locations are in the film and television cities or studios owned by the investors, and then a few brands are brought in to sponsor them.

In fact, the investment was already paid for before the film was even released, and almost every penny earned was net profit.

Some people would say that the audience can vote with their feet and not watch such bad movies, or give bad reviews.
But they don’t care. The first wave of deceived audiences can already make them recoup their investment or even make a small profit. If it becomes popular, they can make ten times or even dozens of times more!
Science fiction blockbusters and fantasy blockbusters are produced every few years, with a cost of several hundred million yuan. Even if they are a big hit, the cost will only be several times higher. If spread out over time, three to five years is enough to make several comedies with a box office of around 10 billion yuan.

This account is still a good calculation.
If you are the owner and shareholder of a film and television company, you would also tend to invest in this type of script.

Make money, not shabby.

Therefore, Bao Beier was able to attract investment! In addition, the older generation of filmmakers not only failed to train new directors and actors for the transition of the times, but also constantly exchanged industry resources in an attempt to achieve a monopoly effect.

It promotes the fame of the second and third generation of filmmakers who do not have qualified professional skills but have backgrounds, and actively or passively suppresses the new generation who are not sociable in the industry. It attempts to integrate the reputation of domestic films and refuses to produce independent directors with good reputation such as "Guo Fan" and "Wu Jing".

The essence of this behavior is to privatize the entire industry and eventually achieve industry monopoly...

You have to know that the film and television industry is an industry that is always in the public eye. Monopoly is always the behavior that ordinary people hate the most. At the same time, cultural products such as film and television works are not necessities of life at all.

It doesn't mean that if you spend money to make a movie, we have to pay for it.

They are all bad movies, watch them...

Then, everyone will gradually give up on domestic films...

It’s not like there’s no alternative!
Is the game not fun? Is the video not good?

"The Wandering Earth" is known as the first year of science fiction...

Year one, where is Yuan?

No one even mentions science fiction anymore.

On the contrary, the film industry was industrialized and was directly taken away by a bunch of people for promotion and marketing.

A lot of capital has become pessimistic about the industry's prospects.

They are also reluctant to spend money!
Rather than joining the film and television industry to become a director or actor, the new generation of young people would rather hold up their mobile phones and become a short video UP or anchor.

People with real talent have high self-esteem. Instead of working as an assistant to the second generation of film producers, it is better to become a short video UP host yourself!
So, it’s very difficult for Liang Ge...

He is willing to give newcomers a chance!

……

"I still think we shouldn't confess. Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing are comrades-in-arms who depend on each other for life and death. Sometimes friendship may not be less precious than love."

In the crew of "Beginning", Shen Liang persuaded the director to delete the kissing scene: "Besides, are the two really in love? I don't think that's necessarily the case. It's also very likely the suspension bridge effect, an inescapable cycle, and dependence on the only person who knows the truth. This is not necessarily love... It's better to leave blank space to give people room for imagination!"

The director and the screenwriter both had different opinions: "But... you two are the main actors, both young men and women, and you have been nervous for 14 episodes. It's reasonable to kiss in the last episode!"

"It's too abrupt... Xiao Heyun can propose after realizing that he may not be able to make it to the end, but the emotional line has always been relatively hidden. It's understandable that it's made clear, but why kiss right after the statement? I think it's too radical... If it really doesn't work, kiss the forehead, or hug tightly!"

"This kiss can be understood as a goodbye kiss... Do you not want to kiss Maizi?"

Shen Liang was very frank: "…I have some concerns. After all, she used to play my sister, and when I met her, she was still a little kid!"

The director simply asked Zhao Jinmai: "Xiao Zhao, what do you think?"

“…I don’t mind.”

"Have you ever filmed a kissing scene?"

"No... This is my first time playing a grown woman!"

Shen Liang expressed his doubt: "You've never filmed a kissing scene? Isn't there a kissing scene in A Little Thing Called First Love?"

"That was a borrowed shot. I was only 16 years old!"

"Tsk tsk," Shen Liang couldn't help but say, "How pitiful. He hasn't even filmed a kissing scene."

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but retort: ​​"...I'm not as experienced as you!"

"...Okay, I'll kiss your forehead later..."

"No, we listen to the director!"

Shen Liang glanced at her, then frowned: "...You are not secretly in love with me, are you?"
