I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 586 First Weekend Billion

Chapter 586: First Weekend Billion (24)

"If it's a commercial film, charging fees is understandable. Generally, actors in films with patriotic themes and mainstream themes are paid nothing, and the box office has recovered its investment. Why do platforms require membership to watch? And even have to pay for on-demand viewing? I think this is inappropriate!"

He talks all about ideology, but his mind is all about business.

This is what Tony Leung said when he complained about the second charge for "Changjin Lake"...

He said it in advance!
I'm just complaining that the platform cannot be changed anyway - you charged me a fee when you sold it to me, so of course I have to charge a fee, otherwise, how can I make my money back?

Maoyan Movie interviewed for 20 minutes and then left. Then Weibo Movie and Sohu Entertainment came over...

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Shen Liang asked the staff to inform the media in line, "We have to shoot in the afternoon. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the group interview at six o'clock in the evening!"

The media...can only choose to cooperate!

After all, he is Shen Liang, and any first-hand news he reveals is enough to make the front page.

……

This is how I spent the next few days.

Shen Liang was filming for the "Miracle" crew. He took two or three interviews during lunch, and had dinner at night, a group interview, and a few more interviews after get off work in the evening...

There is no way, "Peak Explosion" is too popular - 3.02 million on the first day, 3.82 million on the second day, and 3.17 million on the third day...

In the first three days of the weekend, the cumulative box office reached 10.01 billion!
"Life Events" grossed 11.7 billion in its first weekend, but it was released on Thursday, so the first weekend lasted four days, and the first day box office exceeded million...

Excluding the first day’s box office, the box office of “Life Events” in its first three days of the weekend did not reach 10 billion!
Oh, "Peak Explosion" became a hit, but the one that was most affected was actually "Life Events" - the number of screenings decreased, the attention decreased, the box office in the sixth weekend of its release was 3400 million, and the cumulative box office barely broke 48 billion. It is estimated that it will be difficult to exceed 49 billion.

After all, compared to "Life Events", which is also a movie starring Shen Liang, the scenes in "Peak Explosion" are indeed one step ahead.

"Underground Fire", "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", "Life Events", and now "Peak Explosion", a bunch of marketing accounts are already advocating "Shen Liang rules Chinese movies!"

Previously, the marketing account of "Life Events" said things like "It's all thanks to Yang En's lead" and "The little girl's acting skills are much better than Shen Liang's"...

What about Peak Explosion?

Purely led by Shen Liang!

Four consecutive hits, a mythical high box office...

In this environment, even if Shen Liang sneezes, it will become a hot topic, let alone publicity.

The media's concentrated interviews are understandable.

Oh, recently there was a rumor that Shen Liang interfered with the script of "Feng Bao" - it originated from what director Li Jun said in an interview, "In the beginning, there was a family plot, but Liang thought it was redundant, so he deleted it, so our movie was shortened from 120 minutes to 100 minutes!"

Then a bunch of trolls took screenshots...

Finally I caught you!

After a little free play, Shen Liang immediately became a drama tyrant, adding random scenes to himself...

It's normal, Liang Ge has quite a few haters.

What's more, "Peak Explosion" is a mainstream movie.

The popularity of mainstream movies has made many people dissatisfied...

……

The crew of "Miracle" finished a shoot. The staff came forward to arrange the props, and Shen Liang drank water on the side.

Xin Zhilei came over and said, "You are amazing. You sold 1 billion in just three days!"

"The main reason is that there are no movies worth mentioning during this period... Look, today is a weekday, and the box office has dropped back to 1.2 million..."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is... Peak Explosion is only worth a little over 28 billion..."

"28 billion, you still think it's not enough?"

Shen Liang casually said: "The Captain sold nearly 30 billion!"

"They said the overseas copyright of Peak Explosion is selling very smoothly?"

"Well... this is a disaster film. Generally, few countries dare to try this kind of subject matter..."

The overseas version of "Peak Explosion" is selling very well indeed...

Because of its strong commercial attributes as a disaster film and its excellent promotional materials, it became the "most successfully and easily sold" film by the overseas promotion company, and even overseas copyright buyers began bidding for it.

In addition, "Blade of the Assassin" also sold very well - the overseas distribution rights were not only sold to the world, but the sales performance was relatively good... Both of these films were produced by China Film Group, and Qifang Entertainment was hired for overseas promotion...

For Shen Liang’s previous films, Tencent was responsible for the overseas promotion.

"So...how much did it sell for?"

"I don't know..." Shen Liang shrugged: "At least 300 million US dollars!"

"...300 million US dollars..." Xin Zhilei roughly calculated: "That's not too high!"

"It's already pretty good..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "Copyright income is pure profit..."

Xin Zhilei changed the subject: "Then let me ask you another question, don't be angry..."

"Just ask, I'm bored anyway!"

"Is it true what they said about you changing the play?"

“…Change the script?”

"Correct!"

"Which play? 'Changjin Lake'?"

"'Changjin Lake'... you dare to change it even with the three major directors?"

Shen Liang asked back: "I revised my own play. I felt that the logic was wrong, so I asked the screenwriter to revise it... What's the problem?"

"What about...Peak Explosion?"

"That's about right... I had a meeting with the screenwriter department and decided to remove the family line... This was decided during the early stages of preparation!"

"They say you are a drama tyrant..."

Shen Liang was speechless: "Psycho! If I were a drama tyrant, I wouldn't delete the family scenes. I am the protagonist of the family scenes!"

Xin Zhilei nodded: "I don't think so either... You were so well behaved on the set of Miracle!"

Shen Liang glanced at her and asked, "Why are you so close to me? Aren't you afraid of rumors?"

Xin Zhilei rolled her eyes: "What are you afraid of? I'm almost ten years older than you... What's wrong, are you attracted to me?"

"…What do you think?"

"You must like those with fair skin, beautiful faces and long legs..."

"How did you know?"

"All men are like that!" At this point, Xin Zhilei suddenly got excited: "What's going on? Is there a scandal between us?"

"That's not the case... After all, the people I had rumors with before were all Rouba, Naza, Nini and the like..."

Xin Zhilei was unhappy: "Am I bad?"

"That's not the case..." Shen Liang suddenly thought of something: "You just said I changed the play?"

“Yes…I saw it from the marketing account!”

"Which marketing account? Let me see..."

“There are many…”

Xin Zhilei took out her phone, picked up a few at random and handed them to Shen Liang: "Take a look!"

“…You can send me the link… Never mind, I’ll take a look…”

Well, three or four marketing accounts mentioned it, with different tones. Some said, "This is Shen Liang's project, he can change it if he wants to," and others said, "Under normal circumstances, Director Li Jun can't reach Shen Liang..."

The meaning is the same, open praise and implicit criticism!

Shen Liang was so angry that he laughed: "Tsk tsk, I don't know who spent the money."

"Who do you think it is?"

"Love whoever you want... Anyway, we can't live without those Taiwanese people!"

“…Taiwanese?”

"They feel like I'm in their way..."
