I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 574: The End of Summer Vacation (33)

"I have a contract with Tencent and I shoot one or two dramas every year. They provide me with high-quality scripts to choose from, and when I start shooting, the broadcast time has already been set..."

Huang Wei waved his hand: "I'm not talking about TV series, I'm talking about movies... Movies are too difficult nowadays, and the review is very strict..."

Shen Liang smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Our movie audience is adults, but they must accept standards that are consistent with those of children."

Huang Wei sighed: "Auditing is only one aspect... The current marketing method seems to have nothing to do with the film!"

"It's not bad... For "Life Events", we invested 3000 million in publicity resources..."

"I'm talking about Hello, Li Huanying... It almost killed Underworld during the Spring Festival..."

"It didn't get done! It shows that the audience's taste is still normal! Drinking..."

Well, he is right.

Fan circle quarrels, online troll wars, aggressive marketing, and poor acting skills...

The moves are detailed and detailed, but have nothing to do with the movie itself.

They use the holy light of their celebrity status to stir up wars among fans and reap the benefits.

Expecting to trigger widespread resonance with cheap strokes.

You said that film is the art of light and shadow, and it shocks the human soul.

Director Jia gave you a big asshole - bullshit! Movies are a kind of art, I don't even need to create them, I can make a fortune by remaking high-scoring foreign movies, even if the remake's score is not as good as the original.

You said that a movie relies on a wonderful story, the screenwriter's dedication, the heartfelt plot, full sincerity, and the audience's reputation.

I'll give you a big slap - I rely on nearly a hundred hot searches a month, the marketing of losing 100 pounds, and stimulating the G-spots of some women. Whether it's "Speeding Life 2" released at the same time or the well-received "Article ", the box office is beaten by her.

To what extent has this marketing been achieved?
What was the thing you saw most often on trending searches during the Chinese New Year month?
It’s Director Jia.

She has single-handedly proved that as long as a movie finds the right topic and creates some buzz, it can stand out.

High box office comes only from marketing and hype, not from word of mouth.

As soon as I opened TikTok, I saw an account registered specifically for the promotion of a certain movie.

I have to say that this method is quite good. By posting some clips every day, you can quickly attract fans, and within a short period of time, you can easily create an account with tens or even millions of fans.

But what happens after the movie craze has passed?

Cancel enterprise certification and resell accounts? Or set up XX strict selection?
All of this has nothing to do with the movie itself...

It's quite boring!
Most of the audience just want to watch the movie.

……

"Just drink some juice, why drink alcohol!"

"I can drink it!"

"You're from the Northeast... That's right, people in high latitudes generally drink a lot!"

Shen Liang nodded and did not stop Zhao Jinmai from drinking...

The girl held the wine glass and the wine dispenser, and played around...

It's Shen Liang's turn, and there's still half a cup left...

Shen Liang couldn't help but say, "You might as well drink some beverages. Drinking beverages can at least show your momentum. There are eight people in a circle, and you didn't finish the two-liang wine dispenser?"

"Everyone knows I can't drink, so they all let me drink!"

"Come on, let's clink..."

"So...should I finish drinking it?"

"Whatever..." Shen Liang picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then Zhao Jinmai also raised the wine dispenser and followed suit... After drinking, she felt a little dizzy...

This is too fake!
It was obviously a performance, but Shen Liang still asked with concern: "…Are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Zhao Jinmai sat back in her seat...

I felt a little annoyed. Didn't he say that he was drunk?
Why am I not getting high at all?
……

After the dinner, Shen Liang returned to his room.

I took a quick shower, changed into pajamas, and opened the live broadcast room around ten o'clock.

"I have finished filming The Beginning. Tomorrow I will go to Shenzhen to film Miracle... a work by Director Wen Muye. I have an agreement with him..."

"Miracle" is classified as an entrepreneurial film. Entrepreneurial films are not easy to make. They either follow the logic of success, advocating that a small number of elites have some spiritual qualities that can overcome all difficulties in addition to their superior intelligence - thus slipping into the most common idealism of elite values;"

"Or they just shout slogans... Let me learn from you guys, 'I give 100 million to those who betray me, so won't the number of people who will be filial to me be hundreds of millions in the future?', 'There was a man named Kobe, who loved basketball since he was a child', 'It was raining heavily when I went to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and even Qin Shi Huang cried, because I was the only one in the world who understood him!', 'If you want to succeed, go crazy first, and charge forward with a simple mind', 'Successful people never give up, and those who give up will never succeed'... I almost forgot, there is also a sentence that touches the soul, 'Understand the applause!'"

"Ha ha…"

"When I have nothing to do, I like to watch some silly videos...success talks are the best jokes for me!"

"Wen Muye couldn't find the focus of "Miracle" at first, because the so-called entrepreneurship is to break through the class, and the story of the success of the entrepreneurship of the bottom youth is meaningless!"

"Moreover, at this stage, the class structure is rigid and power is like AIDS, which can only be transmitted through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sex.

But this is the item specified above.

We thought about it for a long time and decided to make it a miracle where the ants at the bottom of society can achieve transcendence through solidarity...

This script is pretty good.

It says that only class brothers will help you not because of what kind of benefits you can provide, but because of what kind of person you are. It's a very dreamy story, but aren't movies about dreams?

So, I took it…”

"Life Events" has reached 45 billion... I checked the real-time box office statistics. Thank you for your support!"

"The Hong Kong box office reached HK$3600 million, breaking the record... This is normal because the cultures of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau are of the same origin.

Our country is vast and has complex dialects. In some places, people cannot understand each other even if they are more than ten miles apart. But our culture, our customs, and our attitudes toward life and death are similar in essence.

Even the entire Southeast Asia and East Asia are influenced by our culture!
So when watching "Life Events", the audience has no cultural barriers to understanding the movie; they can also feel the theme of the movie better. "Life Events" sold the overseas streaming rights to Netflix for $3000 million, and Taiwanese compatriots will be able to watch it next week..."

“Summer season champion and runner-up…”

Yes, the summer season is over, and the total box office for three months is 154 billion, which is not as high as the nearly 2019 billion in 200...

Then, "Life Events" and "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" ranked first and second with scores of 45.4 billion and 36.8 billion respectively!

Moreover, "Life Events" has been ranked fourth in film history, second only to "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Wandering Earth" and "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World"...

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is ranked eighth in film history, behind "Underground Fire", "Hello, Li Huanying", and "Detective Chinatown 3"...

In addition, "Raging Fire" ranked 11th.

The top ten movies in history: The Wandering Earth, Life Events, Underground Fire, and Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils…

Shen Liang took four seats!

Shen Liang smiled and said, "Maybe my aesthetic taste is very similar to that of the audience. The movies I like are the same as the ones everyone likes..."

"…For me, the box office data is a thing of the past. What I want to do is to continue to perform new works with my heart."

“Lotus Tower…”
