I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 737 Movie Star? (23)

Shen Liang's statement was verified. The box office of "Assassination of Novelist" was 1.8 million on the first day, 2.4 million on the second day, and 1.9 million on the third day...

This is the box office trend of a commercial film with relatively low reputation.

However, with a box office of 6.1 million yuan in the first weekend, and the conflict between Shen Liang and "The Tomorrow War", the screening of "Assassination of Novelist" has remained stable at more than 30%...

Maoyan predicts that the total box office of "Assassination of Novelist" will be 19.5 billion!
Based on the production cost of 3.6 million and the publicity cost of 4000 million, it will definitely make money.

One thing that was unexpected was that the box office of "New Journey to the West" actually saw a sharp rise: in its seventh weekend of release, the box office actually reached 7 million!
The cumulative box office has exceeded 37 billion...

You know, "New Journey" has been released for more than forty days. Normally speaking, it has lost its box office appeal.

That year, "Wolf Warrior 2" only grossed over 2000 million in its seventh weekend!

Generally, the popularity of commercial films is higher in the first two weeks, and the same is true for "New Journey". The cumulative box office is 37.02 billion yuan, with a box office of over 26 billion yuan in the first two weeks and more than 8 million yuan in the following two weeks...

Then it will enter a period of slow box office harvesting...

The further it goes, the lower the popularity becomes, until it is taken off the screen!
It can only be said that Liang Ge’s popularity is too high. After criticizing "The Tomorrow Battle", he was able to allow "The New Journey" which has been released for more than 40 days to re-enter the box office rankings.

By the way, after Shen Liang criticized "The Tomorrow War", major theaters adjusted their schedules, and the single-day box office dropped to around 10 million...

Maoyan predicts that the total box office of "The Tomorrow War" will be 4.6 million, and its box office is already 4.2 million...

By the way, the Hong Kong media has reported all kinds of news about Shen Liang bullying others, and several cinemas have directly removed "New Journey" from the shelves - "New Journey" was released simultaneously in mainland China, with a cumulative box office of 3200 million Hong Kong dollars...

In recent years, the movies starring Shen Liang have performed quite well in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The New Journey took 3200 million, which also broke his box office record in Hong Kong.

Removed from shelves...

Shen Liang himself doesn't care. Compared with the revenue in mainland China, the box office in Hong Kong is just a drop in the bucket!
However, all kinds of slanderous voices are really unpleasant to hear...

Ximi collapsed last year, and Louis Koo tied up VIUTV and the second son of the Li family. What is VIUTV's position? Everyone knows!

As long as mainland audiences support Shen Liang, that’s enough!
By the way, there have been voices recently saying that in this crappy movie, “The Battle at Tomorrow,” a science fiction film, the police are still performing the British military salute, and the damn villain Zhang Jiahui is using our army’s salute. What does that mean?
Don’t say they did it unintentionally, they just made it into a poster, how could that be unintentional?
It is recommended to remove it from the shelves directly!

……

"They started it first, I just fought back a little bit..."

On the set of "Shushan", Shen Liang chats with Xu Ke...

Xu Ke didn't want to be a lobbyist. He had no connection with Louis Koo...he had already gone north to develop his career.

I just want to understand the whole story.

Cao Dun on the side was puzzled: "I still don't understand, Gu Tianle often loses money..."

"Ximihua is in jail, his big money sponsor has fled, and he has to rely on himself to make money. How can other people's money be the same as his own money? Real money is not a joke!"

"Is he related to Xi Mihua?"

"The number of his movies only started to explode after he hooked up with Sun God Entertainment... Ask Director Xu Ke, he should know!"

Xu Ke nodded: "In fact, in Hong Kong, one of the main functions of movies is to launder money..."

Cao Dun smiled and said, "I've experienced this before. Someone offered me 500 million to make a movie, but wanted to take million as a deposit. I refused..."

The routine is this: the investment is claimed to be 1 million, 3000 million is given to the star, a shady contract is signed, and she is actually given 500 million, with the condition that she sleeps with him;
2000 million to hire a big director, but actually give him 300 million as a token of appreciation;
3000 million was spent to hire a makeshift international production team, and the actual amount they were given was 300 million - that's how the 2000-cent special effects came about, and the remaining million was the normal money for making a movie.

It would be better if such a movie made money, but if it didn't, at least the 1 million in black money could be laundered into normal income, and you could also sleep with a female star by the way.

Shen Liang waved his hand: "The mainland is tolerant enough towards Hong Kong filmmakers. Liu Dehua made a bad movie like "Fuchun Mountain Residence", which had almost no impact on him. Look at Hollywood. "Around the World in 80 Days" directly made Jackie Chan leave Hollywood, and the failure of "Escape from the Island" made Michael Bay and Scarlett Johansson silent for many years..."

Xu Ke nodded: "What Louis Koo did this time is really not authentic, and it will make many audiences lose interest in Hong Kong films!"

"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't provoke me, I won't care about it..." Shen Liang changed the subject: "Has the director watched "Assassination of Novelist"?"

"I've seen it..." Xu Ke was a little excited: "The special effects are awesome!" "It's much better than Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, right?"

"Well, it's totally not something from the same era!"

“The various large creatures in “Assassination of Novelist” were all created by the domestic special effects team, which can be said to represent the top CG level of domestic films... I think the special effects of “Shushan” should be improved to be like a documentary, gorgeous and realistic!”

"Is it troublesome?"

"I asked our special effects director, and he said it will definitely be completed before March next year!"

Xu Ke: “I’m looking forward to it!”

“…By the way, Director Chen’s movie “Rampage”…”

As Shen Liang was talking, a staff member came over and said, "Brother Liang, Sister Nazha has joined the group!"

"…Just join the group, what do you want to tell me?"

Shen Liang said something, then said goodbye to Xu Ke and Cao Dun, and turned to go to the hotel...

Oh, Naza plays Lian Hongyao, Xu Fei's disciple, and is the main character in the second part "Battle". By the way, Rouba is Cui Ying, a disciple of Deng Yin (Shen Liang), and Liu Shishi plays Xu Fei's daughter...

That’s right, Liu Shishi was also invited to star in “Shushan”…

Basically all the popular celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry have received invitations!
And they didn’t ask for a high salary, they just gave me a discount from the market price.

As I said: In the cold winter period of the film and television industry, it is good enough to have a movie to be made. Who dares to ask for a high price?

……

After knocking on the door, Shen Liang was about to say a few words when Naza rushed over, wrapped her legs around his waist and put her arms around his neck.

Liang Ge had no choice but to hold her tightly...

Before he could say anything, his lips were already covered.

While kissing, I took off my equipment and carried her to the sofa...

This is what is meant by being frank with each other!
About half an hour later, Shen Liang finally had time to ask, "Why are you so excited?"

"...How dare you say that? How long has it been since you last looked at me?"

"Not long..."

Well, after some calculation, it’s almost eight months!

Of course, during this period, Shen Liang ate a lot...

As the saying goes, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and he has no shortage of good people anyway.

Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "I see you've been quite busy lately..."

“…Well, I made two or three movies!”

"Two or three?"

"One is "Ordinary Heroes", and the other is "Hello BJ", both of which are supporting roles. Oh, and there is another one called "Keep You Safe"..."

"You acted in "Keep You Safe"? Who did you play?"

"Han Lu..."

"…I asked you to play Han Lu?"

Shen Liang thought about it and it was okay. Although Naza’s degree was not as good as Liu Yan’s, she had also experienced slut-shaming!
Naza was very dissatisfied: "What's wrong? Is it not possible? I want to transform into a movie star!"
