I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 613 Roadshow (44)

In fact, after a movie is released, for the producers, producers, and promoters, word of mouth is important, but what is more important is the numbers, that is, the box office!
Shen Liang has never let these people down.

As long as he is the lead actor in a movie, it will be a big hit...

No matter who the director is!

The box office and word of mouth of "To Be Famous" were amazing, and Liu Xunzimo was quite excited at the beginning.

This is his directorial debut after all!
But he saw Shen Liang's calm attitude...

Lenovo's "Life Events" is also a directorial debut, starring Shen Liang, and the box office is close to 50 billion.

This is the difference!

People have experienced this before.

I admire...

As for Shen Liang, he was not only calm, but also dull...

Oh, early in the morning, several people reunited, Shen Liang did not cover up anything, not even wearing sunglasses, with a pair of tired eyes...

Yang Mi is wearing big sunglasses...

Liang Ge was very hungry, so he had two cups of milk, three eggs, two baskets of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and flower rolls...

A good portion for three people!
After finishing the meal in one go, he finally felt better. He asked the publicity manager, "Will all the actors be here later?"

"Well, Yang Chaoyue is coming too!"

“…Why do you emphasize Yang Chaoyue?”

"She is a guest actor..."

"Ok."

Shen Liang didn't know what to say...

"Brother Liang," Liu Xunzimo came over and said, "What do audiences usually ask during a roadshow?"

"He will ask you about the plot... He will say something he thinks is right..."

"Then...how should I answer?"

"Listen to him patiently, and then say, 'Your understanding is correct.'"

"Isn't that too perfunctory?"

"Not perfunctory at all," Shen Liang shook his head: "...An excellent film work must be related to art, which is ambiguous in itself. Every audience has different perceptions and interpretations... This is a very normal thing."

"anything else?"

"Generally, they won't make things difficult for the director..." Shen Liang smiled: "Don't worry, the audience won't ask questions like "What do you attribute your achievements today to?" or "What kind of efforts did you make for this?"

"why?"

"These kinds of questions give directors a chance to brag about themselves, and the licking of the boots should be left to the reporters and high-paid hosts who get paid for their travel expenses. The audience will not compete with professionals for their jobs."

Shen Liang rubbed his eyes and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, the audience is likely to compare "Famous" with "The King of Bath"..."

"There is no comparison between these two movies, they are completely different genres!"

"The comparison between you and Jiaoshou..."

"…Depend on!"

"Of course we will compare..." Shen Liang lowered his voice: "Jiaoshou left Wanhe Tianyi, but you stayed in Wanhe Tianyi, why?"

Liu Xunzimo was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "It's hard to say..."

Shen Liang immediately took out a bag of melon seeds and said, "Tell me in detail!"

“…Jiaoshou has always wanted to make movies…want to go mainstream…”

"and then?"

“The company does not support him…”

“Why not?”

“No money…”

...Wanhe Tianyi became a big hit with "Never Expected"...

Then, they hope to quickly climb onto the three-dimensional entertainment circle and gain social recognition.

As a result, Jiaoshou frequently interacted with various celebrities, and a large number of entertainers from the entertainment circle intervened in Wanhe's projects.

The climax is the Wanhe movie - "Never Expected".

Apart from Bai Ke playing Wang Dachui, this movie has nothing to do with "Never Expected".

The core team of Wanhe Tianyi who participated in the performance of "Never Expected" played completely dispensable supporting roles in the movie.

There is Sha Seng played by Jiaoshou, the village chief played by Zhang Benyu, the martial arts gym director played by Koda, Xiao Ai, I'm sorry I don't really know what his role is, and the passers-by roles played by Ge Bu and Kong Lianshun.

Oh, Zimo played Sun Wukong!
They were replaced by handsome young actors such as Chen Bolin and Ma Tianyu.

Regardless of whether their performance is good or bad, it simply does not fit Wanhe's style of humor.

The filmmakers foolishly sacrificed their own style in exchange for the success of celebrities from your circle...

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the hope of selling one's soul in exchange for recognition from your circle.

So what if you lose your core competitiveness even if you are recognized?

Liu Xunzi was hailed as the top brother, which was Wanhe's biggest failure...

What on earth are Zhizun Yu’s “Heroes of the Western Shore” and “Detective Di Renjie”?
Despite this, I am still very grateful to Jiaoshou, Baike, Benyu, Zimo, Xiaoai, Koda, Gebu, Goddess Kong and all the people behind the scenes. They are really great.

"Never Expected" and "Report to the Boss" are miracles that are almost impossible to replicate!
——Many of the jokes can’t be broadcast now, especially “Report to the Boss” and “The People’s Sadako”…

Roar! Bullets of justice! Revenge! The people's Sadako!
Oh, so many years have passed without me noticing...

I remember running under the sunset that day, that was my lost youth...

……

The roadshow went smoothly.

The attendance rate of "Famous" itself is very high, and the audience is willing to ask questions...

When asked how Yang Chaoyue got the role, she replied: "Brother Liang knew that I had studied acting for more than half a year, and then asked me if I wanted to give it a try... I came! I was surprised when I saw the script, I didn't even have a line..."

"Why did Liang Ge look for Chaoyue?"

Shen Liang replied: "She has the right image. The director said that she needs a young beauty who cannot be over 20 years old... I was thinking about where to find an actress who is not over 20 years old..."

"You can go to a professional theater for casting..."

"The general environment did not allow it... At that time, everyone basically took online classes at home! I sent a message to Yang Chaoyue, and she came the next day... And she didn't charge any money..."

"So what do you think of Chaoyue's performance?"

Shen Liang scratched his head: "I didn't have any scenes with her, you should ask the director and Ben Yu... I only filmed this scene for 14 days, and after my role was finished, I went straight to film "Changjin Lake"..."

"14 days?"

"The scenes are simple, the plot is coherent, and it took 14 days to shoot. This was mainly because Brother Zimo was a director for the first time and lacked experience... Otherwise, the time could have been shortened by at least half!"

It’s a roadshow, so of course we’ll ask whoever is the most popular!
Of course, Shen Liang, Yang Mi, and Yang Chaoyue asked the most questions, followed by the director, and then the other actors...

Unlike what Shen Liang thought, many viewers did not ask about the plot, but asked, "Is Director Zheng Qianli referring to Director Wang Jing?"

Liu Xunzi nodded with a smile, and said, "I believe Director Wang is a magnanimous director who won't mind the harmless jokes of our juniors..."

"We are certainly willing to invite Director Wang Jing to watch the film..."

The roadshow ended at 10:30 pm...

I have to take a car to the airport again - Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Wuxi, Chengdu and Hangzhou, the eight cities that must be visited for the movie roadshow...

Going to Guangzhou tomorrow!

Shen Liang suddenly said, "I will run with you guys for another day tomorrow... I won't have time the day after tomorrow..."

"The day after tomorrow? What's going on the day after tomorrow? Is your new work going to start filming?"

"That's not the case. The Golden Rooster Awards will be held the day after tomorrow!"
