I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 755 (33)

Chapter 104 Proposal

Shen Liang came to the Changchun Film Festival. In addition to winning awards, he also wanted to meet Wu Jing...

Later, the two found a small restaurant and ordered three dishes.

“It’s hard to say whether the food in the restaurants in Northeast China is good or not, but the portions are definitely filling!”

Wu Jing nodded and suggested, "Drink something?"

"Hmm..." Shen Liang: "Only when I eat with you, I dare to drink..."

"What?"

"Others don't dare to drink. If I drink too much, they will send me to the hotel and arrange for two beautiful girls..." At this point, Shen Liang shook his head: "It's easy to make mistakes!"

"…Have you released "Keep You Safe"?"

“That’s not the case…” Shen Liang shook his head: “We went directly to China Film Group and Maoyan… and they took 12%!”

"Then how do you know?"

Shen Liang asked back: "Brother, you know what my family does, don't you?"

“…For a cinema?”

"Almost..." Shen Liang: "I stopped chasing stars when I was in elementary school...no matter if they were Korean or Hong Kong stars..."

Wu Jing became interested: "Oh, tell me more about it."

"There was an uncle whose family owned a cinema... He wanted to invest in movies, so he invited a veteran Hong Kong star to dinner. He drank three bottles of XO alone, and the meal cost 40,000... After the meal, they didn't talk about anything, but went straight to a nightclub, where he stayed for two days, without even staying in a hotel..."

"What about Korean stars?"

"You know Jun Ji-hyun, right? Her manager brought her to China to develop her career, and several TV station executives also went. My mom liked her very much, so she went with them... After dinner, her manager wanted to arrange for her to accompany the guests... My mom's filter was immediately shattered!"

“…Actually, I also knew these things when I was developing in Hong Kong…”

There was a time when the bigwigs in Hong Kong and Macau liked to invite Korean actors to come and play.

They all have great figures and are dressed in a way that clearly shows they want something.

Business relations!

“Everything has a price, Everything!”

After a few drinks, Shen Liang suddenly remembered something: "Actually, there is a very good topic... I saw in the news before that there was a guy who was arrested for war crimes as a military strategist in Africa... I think his deeds are interesting!"

Wu Jing was confused: "…What the hell? War crimes?"

"I heard that he was a company employee on a business trip to Benin, Africa. He got lost due to the chaotic situation there and happened to be taken in by an African warlord. In order to repay the warlord's kindness, he not only translated the military academy textbooks and taught them to the warlord, but also introduced the domestic wheat lodging resistance technology and hybrid rice technology to the warlord's territory..."

"During this period, he also contacted the company he was affiliated with. He worked normally in the company during the day and went to the warlord's territory to guide the battles at night. He helped the warlord annex 13 other warlord tribes and indirectly guided 755 large and small battles, successfully becoming the second-in-command of the warlord's military strategist.

He also had his own gains: 18 wives of various nationalities, 3.18 US dollars in cash, 400 tons of unrefined gold ore, and kilograms of successfully purified gold bars…”

"real or fake?"

"I don't know. It might be a fiction. Look it up yourself..."

“This is too legendary!”

"…There is no other way. Movie tickets are getting more and more expensive. Audiences have long learned to be thrifty when faced with movie tickets that cost 40 to 60 yuan each. They no longer spend lavishly during the 9.9 yuan/19.9 yuan ticket subsidy era. They just treat it as going to the cinema to enjoy the air conditioning for two hours. If your movie is boring, it will be useless even if you schedule more screenings!"

Wu Jing also sighed: "I don't know what will happen to "The Wandering Earth"..."

“The Wandering Earth is a benchmark…it can’t be any worse.”

"Oh... I mean 'The Tai Chi Master'... I want to follow the path of 'Once Upon a Time in China' and set the plot at the time when the Eight-Nation Alliance landed at Dagu Fort..."

"Of course... Many viewers haven't seen Once Upon a Time in China..." Wu Jing was surprised: "No way? Many viewers haven't seen Once Upon a Time in China?"

"What's the big deal? China is developing too fast. I sang 'Rexue Jin, Huachen Yu Tu~' in the live broadcast room the other day, but they had never heard it!"

“It seems I’m really old!”

“…So, I said that Tai Chi Master can be filmed. If it really doesn’t work, then we can continue the narrative style of the TV series…”

"Wait for me to find a screenwriter..."

"I'm not in a hurry..."

The two were chatting enthusiastically when Wu Jing's phone rang. He answered it, and then looked a little embarrassed, but finally said, "We are in a small restaurant about two kilometers east of the hotel... It's called XX Hotel..."

"Who is it?"

"Mr. Yu!"

Shen Liang: "...Then I'll eat quickly and leave first..."

"You don't want to see him?"

"...He always wants me to act...I don't like the projects Bona offers, so I always refuse him. I feel awkward and he is not happy either..."

Wu Jing sighed: "Mr. Yu also mentioned to me that he wanted to shoot a prequel to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"..."

“Main theme themes are not suitable for IP…”

Shen Liang shook his head: "Besides, Bona's main theme movies are too one-sided... They don't fit the current international situation at all!"

……

After four consecutive failures, including "Four Seas", "Mozart from Outer Space", "The End of the Sea is the Grassland" and "Ordinary Heroes", Yu Dong urgently needs a movie to support Bona!
In today's film market, two Shens and one Wu are the three box office superstars!

Among them, Shen Liang is a person who can sell well in any subject matter.

Wu Jing focuses on action movies, while Shen Teng focuses on comedy...

The three of them have their own partners. Wu Jing has his own Dengfeng International, Shen Teng has Happy Twist, and Shen Liang has a more fixed one: China Film + Teng Xun.

If you want to impress them, you can only rely on scripts and projects...

Yu Dong has Operation Red Sea 2 in his hands...

To be honest, it really doesn't fit the reality. Damn it, look around the Red Sea, those are all friendly countries to our country, who are you going to attack?
Our country's ships do not need to be guarded, and even ships with Chinese crew members do not need to be guarded, and they can sail freely all the way.

Looking at the plot summary, there is a paragraph that clearly states: Cooperate with international escort?
What does it mean to cooperate with international escort?

Following Xiaomei's butt?
What a joke! Our country’s status in society does not allow this!
Shen Liang rejected this project without even looking at it...

Now I am most afraid of the changing international situation. I just finished writing and then I found out that Captain, don’t shoot, we are one of them…

This thing, no matter how well you take the picture, it’s useless!

Moreover, judging from the trailer, all the weapons are from Europe and America, so this is bound to be a bad movie...

Ahem...

In short, Yu Dong finally said: "...We are going to double the investment...double the scene, at least 50 billion box office!"

Shen Liang refused directly: "In the next two years, I don't plan to make military action movies... I also advise you that the international situation is changing rapidly, so you should try to make fewer military action movies!"

“…It’s not that serious, right?”

Shen Liang waved his hand and suggested, "I have a project here. A US Navy SEAL captain will be the second male lead and team up with my main character to rescue the sex slaves on Loli Island... If you want to shoot it, I can act in it and my pay can be halved!"
