I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 582 Good things are meant to be shared! (24)

Shen Liang and Liu Shishi actually know each other...

That year in Hengdian, Shen Liang was filming "The Imperial Coroner", and Nini and Liu Shishi were working together on "The Golden Years", and they had dinner together.

However, since then, there has been no intersection!
After all, Liu Shishi has been a bit elusive in recent years.

She hasn't been in the group for more than two years...

And often I don’t post on Weibo for more than a month!

Shen Liang’s impression of her... is that she is as quiet as a chrysanthemum?
In fact, she herself may not have much ambition.

But it’s impossible for a team. If you don’t fight for it, what will they eat?
Her team is very capable. They immediately did a public relations job on the Bazaar interview video because it was mocked as not good.

And the things that affect her rarely go viral - compared to other companies, they have to make it known to everyone before sending a lawyer's letter without any pain...

And, have you ever seen her interviews? Have you ever seen talk shows? Do you know how she talks? Do you know what her voice sounds like?
At most you have watched "Happy Camp", right?

But she is really low-key...

Even if there are works online, there is little publicity...

Shen Liang greeted: "Sister Shishi, Sister Mi..."

They both stood up and shook hands... The process was over. Yang Mi was very curious: "Do you two know each other?"

“We had dinner together in Hengdian before…”

"Yes," Liu Shishi nodded: "I think it was 19!"

"I thought you two didn't know each other..." Yang Mi smiled: "Do you want to eat something first?"

“…I just ate a little…”

“Burger + milk tea?”

"Yes...how did you know?"

Yang Mi spread out her phone: "It's on the hot search list... It said you treated more than 2,000 fans to dinner!"

"It's not me who invited them, it's the crew who paid for it..."

"What made you think of inviting them to eat? Do you want tea?"

"Okay..." Shen Liang nodded and explained, "They haven't eaten yet, and I heard that many of them have been waiting for the whole afternoon..."

“You’re so nice to your fans?”

"They were the first wave of promoters of the film's reputation... and the burgers and milk tea weren't expensive, so why were the media allowed to charge travel fees, and why weren't there any audience areas for the first batch of moviegoers? This is unfair!"

Yang Mi didn't comment and changed the subject: "Why is Peak Explosion released today? Shouldn't it be released during the National Day holiday?"

"The National Day movie "Changjin Lake"..."

"So how much box office can Peak Explosion have?"

"The cinema chain gave a box office forecast of 25 billion, which I don't think is that high... After all, the market in September is always cold..."

"So how many do you think there are?"

Shen Liang hesitated for a moment, then said, "About 23 billion..."

"23 billion..." Liu Shishi suddenly said, "I've acted in seven or eight movies, and the total revenue is not even 23 billion. No, not even billion!"

"I'm almost there... but in his opinion, 23 billion box office is just a normal performance..."

"Who said you don't have 23 billion? Don't you have the Tiny Times series?"

The four "Tiny Times" movies have a combined box office of 17.9 billion...

But don’t forget that Yang Mi was known as the box office queen in the early years - the four-part "Tiny Times" series grossed 18 billion yuan, "The Breakup Guru" grossed over 6 million yuan, and even the super bad movie "Fall in Love with You" (movie version 1) grossed 3.5 million yuan!
Until the official failure of "Baby", the marketing of the so-called box office queen was completely shattered...

Yang Mi immediately said, "Don't mention Tiny Times to me! That movie brought me nothing but attention..." "Then what do you want? Recognition for your acting skills? Four Golden Broom Awards?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes: "Lin Xiao, you are really a very advanced person in scolding people now, right? If you don't have a vicious IQ, you really can't understand it."

Liu Shishi was confused: "…What are you talking about?"

“The lines from Tiny Times are very popular…”

……

The tea was served, Shen Liang took the tea prepared by the staff, took a sip, and then asked: "By the way, idol, why did you ask me to come here?"

“…My sister is going to make a comeback, do you have any good scripts?”

Shen Liang subconsciously wanted to reply: I strongly recommend "No One in My Eyes"...

Or remake "I Am a Witness" and let Sister Blind tell you what is the correct way for a blind person to interpret the story!

But this is too vicious!
He was not that familiar with Liu Shishi, so after thinking about it, he shook his head: "No..."

"Lotus Tower is so popular, don't you want to make another martial arts film? Shi Shi is very suitable for martial arts!"

Shen Liang shook his head: "I have no idea for now... I even rejected "Snow Sword"..."

“Why not shoot?”

“There is no particularly good script…”

"That's right," Yang Mi also picked up the cup, took a sip, and then said, "There's a long line of people looking for your book!"

“…It’s not that exaggerated…”

But it’s almost the same. After “Lotus Tower”, a bunch of ancient costume action scripts came to me, including “Mirror Twin Cities”, “Heroic Aspirations”, “Thousand Doors”, “Broken Sky Blade”, “Luoyang Girls’ Song”, “Wild Geese Flying in the Moonlight”, “Kunlun”…

That’s right, the representative work of the four new martial arts masters from mainland China!

"Broken Sky Blade", the first work in Shi Weihan's "General Ming" series;
"A Journey to Luoyang Girls", Xiao Linden's representative work;

"Kunlun", Feng Ge's representative work;

"Wild Geese Flying in the Moonlight", by Wang Qingchuan…

These are all undeveloped IP.

In the past few years, the Jiuzhou series has been adapted into big and small screens one by one, including "Jiuzhou·Sky City", "Jiuzhou·Sea Herders' Chronicles", "Jiuzhou·Piaomiao Lu", "Jiuzhou·Lady of the Pearl" (renamed "Lady of the Pearl"), "Jiuzhou·Hua Xu Yin" (renamed "Hua Xu Yin"), and "Jiuzhou·Zhu Yan Ji" (renamed "Xinghe Changming")
But one after another, they disappointed the audience.

In comparison, the contemporary "Ancient and Modern Martial Arts Edition" and "Martial Arts Stories" seem much more desolate. In fact, the popularity of the Jiuzhou series is largely due to the hit of "Game of Thrones", and investors have come up with the gimmick of "Chinese Copyright Tour"!

It’s not that making martial arts dramas is expensive, in fact, it’s more expensive to make Jiuzhou well. Because I don’t want to spend money, I fail one after another...

The market has invested resources in one female-led drama after another. With the current film and television winter, restrictions on ancient movies, and negative growth in theater box office, investors would rather continue to remake classic and classical movies than take the risk of trying these new martial arts films.

Because remaking works by Jin Yong and Gu Long is a very safe bet - there will definitely be TV stations and video platforms to pay for it. Even though the 2018 version of "New Smiling Proud Wanderer" directed by Jin Chen was so bad, Youku still paid for it.

The investment of sophisticated production and relatively well-known actors is not proportional to the income and risks obtained.

Capital is not very willing to take risks.

Now there is only one possibility, Shen Liang is willing to take on a film!
Once he shoots and the broadcast effect is good, the IP value of these works will be reflected.

It’s not that Shen Liang doesn’t dare to take risks. He likes Shi Weihan’s “The Peak” and Wang Qingchuan’s “Wild Geese Flying in the Moonlight”. He has also read most of Xiao Linden’s works…

If he has the chance, he will try to make a series of movies. Shi Weihan’s “Stealing the Sky Series” and “Ming Jiangjun Series” can be made into online movies…

Oh, back to the dinner, Yang Mi went to the bathroom in the middle, leaving Shen Liang and Liu Shishi alone...

So, good girlfriends are supposed to share good things?
