I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 706 Guest Invitation (33)

"Jurassic World 3... I haven't watched it, but I heard the reviews weren't good?"

After dinner, Shen Liang started live streaming, and then a friend asked about the recently released "Jurassic World 3"...

Many people complained that it didn’t look good!

In fact, it’s not that it’s bad to watch, but the whole show actually has nothing to do with dinosaurs!

What was the main motivation for cloning the little girl and keeping her identity secret?
What can you do if you are caught?
What the big villain did has been successful!
The locusts developed by the villain have made great progress. What's the point of capturing the little girl at this time?
The experiment conducted by the villain in "Jurassic World 3" is very simple. This experiment is actually what multinational companies like to do under the globalized system: first unify the global market circulation chain, and then launch large-scale agricultural machinery as well as unified fertilizers, seeds and pesticides.

Once these conditions are met, multinational corporations will then be able to manipulate food prices and, incidentally, a country by controlling the food production of one country. After controlling the food production of multiple countries, they can then manipulate food prices!
This is the main logic of the film, and this logic has nothing to do with dinosaurs.

Oh, many film critics said: As the final chapter of "Jurassic World", I think it's OK...

Haha, how could Universal give up such a profitable IP?

"Jurassic World: Resurgence" will be released in 2025, directed by Gareth Edwards (who also directed "Godzilla" and "Rogue One: A Star Wars") and starring Scarlett Johansson.

However, Shen Liang did not say these, but said: "I am very grateful to "Jurassic World 3". This Hollywood blockbuster directly raised the theater market from less than 1500 million to more than million... It also gave us the confidence to release "New Journey"..."

"New Journey to the West will start showing previews next week... There's nothing we can do, we don't have any promotional methods, we can only do previews..."

"Have you listened to "Flowers"? It's pretty good... It's both the promotional song for the movie and the promotional song for my new album!"

"The new album should be released in July... Next week, not only will the movie "New Journey" be released, but "Kim's Secretary" will also be aired..."

Then Shen Liang saw a bunch of comments complaining about the variety show "New Journey"...

"I watched two episodes of "New Journey"... I feel... it's not very good. It has some similarities with our movie... We satirize the stars who are high and mighty. The protagonist looks down on the workers and says a classic quote: "If suffering is useful, then the richest man in the world should be a cow!"..."

"The male lead has a genuine character, so he has a lot of fans... No, even Shuang has a lot of fans!"

"...How can I be considered a person of true character...If I were a person of true character, I would have been eliminated long ago!"

"To be a star, you still need to rely on your inner qualities and works... People still need to read more. Otherwise, although it's not annoying, it's completely useless."

"It will be screened next week, and I will do a few road shows..."

"Okay, I'll sing 'Flowers' once..."

Shen Liang opened the mobile app, played the accompaniment, and then sang "My heart, my heart, the whole building is rented out, every corner is for you... Always full, always full~"

……

Thanks to "Jurassic World 3", it proves that the capacity of the film market is still sufficient, and a hot-selling movie can soar to 1.4 million in a single day!
With the bottoming out of Hollywood blockbusters, the distribution company is also confident about "New Journey"...

This is the truth. Otherwise, with the daily market around 1500 million, even with Shen Liang's support, "New Journey" would not dare to be released rashly...

"Jurassic World 3" grossed 3.5 million yuan in its first weekend. If nothing unexpected happens, the total box office will definitely exceed 10 billion yuan!
A movie with a box office of 10 billion is already a blockbuster.

Shen Liang will take a week off starting next week to promote the movie, and will focus on filming his scenes in the next few days.

According to the schedule, we need to watch three all-night shows in a row...

This is normal. The time lost must be made up later.
After watching three all-night shows, Shen Liang got in the car and prepared to go to the airport.

He will first go to Dongyang to catch a plane, and then fly to BJ.

The first roadshow promotion of "New Journey" will be held in BJ!

However, Shen Liang felt drowsy throughout the journey and fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane - even an iron man could not withstand three consecutive all-night shoots.

"Wake up, we're here!"

"Well…"

Shen Liang opened his eyes dazedly, opened his mouth and yawned: "We're here so soon, I didn't get enough sleep..."

“Let’s go back to the hotel and sleep…”

Shen Liang stood up, took the assistant's backpack, put it on his back, and asked, "Are they here?"

"…I'm not sure…I'll ask later."

"Um…"

Shen Liang was talking about other actors from "New Journey"... The two of them took the VIP channel - Shen Liang's popularity is too high, and a bunch of private photographers follow him every day, so he can't take the normal channel!

Chen Jiadong was waiting for him at the exit. Seeing Shen Liang carrying a backpack and his assistant pushing a suitcase, he came up and asked, "Can't you help him?"

“…I carry my own bag!”

The assistant was speechless: "Brother, he was talking about me!"

“…I’m not disabled, and it’s okay to carry a bag…Get in the car!”

After getting in the car, Chen Jiadong first talked about the road show arrangements for "New Journey"...

Beishan, Guangshen, Chongcheng, Wuhang...

"Especially Shanghai, we have arranged a two-day trip!"

"What?"

"Shanghai has been unsealed for half a month, and the movie market is quite quiet..."

"Did they say when it will be released?"

"It depends. If the preview goes well, it will be released nationwide the next day!"

"…OK."

Shen Liang yawned: "Are you okay? If you are okay, I will take a nap..."

Chen Jiadong looked a little embarrassed: "There really is something!"

“…What’s going on?”

"Jackie Chan's new film, Dragon Horse Spirit, invites me to guest star..."

"Guest appearance? Who sent the invitation?"

“…Teacher Wu Jing!”

"Wu Jing? Does this play have anything to do with him?" Shen Liang found Wu Jing's phone number and called him directly...

Hang up after five minutes...

Well, Wu Jing simply wanted Shen Liang to make an appearance in "Dragon Horse Spirit"... to help Jackie Chan!
Speechless...

Do you two have such a good relationship?
"going or not?"

Shen Liang scratched his head: "Go ahead, you just need to show your face..."

In fact, "Dragon Horse Spirit" also invited Shen Liang, but he did not agree and refused because of his tight schedule...

I want him to play the role of Guo Qilin...

A background board!

Since Shen Liang debuted, apart from playing the second male lead in "Knowing Your Destiny", he has been a pure background board, but he also has his own character arc.

The movie never had any soy sauce!

The biggest selling point of Jackie Chan's movies is still himself...

In fact, the older generation of filmmakers are quite pitiful.

After a person has achieved enviable success through extraordinary efforts, he may become conceited and stubborn.

That is path dependence!
But a new emperor appoints new ministers. Being successful now does not mean you will always be successful. If you want to keep up with the times, you must first respect the times, rather than living in your own glory and finding a way!
There are actually only a few veteran directors like Zhang Yi who remain strong as they age and constantly update themselves through trial and error.

This is the same for both Hong Kong and mainland directors...

Director Hu Mei's new film "A Dream of Red Mansions Part Two: Golden Marriage" did not perform well in terms of word of mouth and box office. She posted a message saying that there was "AI virtual data sending out group bad reviews". When Lu Chuan directed "The Banquet" and "Nine-story Demon Tower", he said that "someone maliciously sent bad reviews"!
They always believed that the bad reviews of their films were a premeditated and organized campaign by their competitors to smear them.

I don't admit it and I'm unwilling to believe that it's my own problem.
