I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 797 Shaking the Status? (23)

The cinema scheduling fee refers to the money that the distributor needs to pay to the cinema before scheduling the film.

This money does not refer to kickbacks, but rather that after the theater starts selling tickets, the distributor needs to purchase a number of seats at its own expense for each show in order to lock in the screening schedule.

The film scheduling fee varies with the number of theaters, generally ranging from 1k to 3k...

Some large cinema studios and theater chains have a net income of 30 to 50 million yuan per year just from scheduling fees, and even charge for playing trailers on the theater's LED screen.

For a movie that dares to be released during the Spring Festival, the publicity and promotion costs start at at least 100 million yuan, and the risk of recovering the investment is also extremely high.

Shen Liang continued in the live broadcast: "The film scheduling and marketing costs for the Spring Festival are very high, starting at at least 1 million. Last year's "Miracle Stupid Kid" cost at least 4.5 million in publicity, marketing and scheduling. Adding the production costs, the cost of this drama alone is as high as million... It's thrilling that it can recover the cost!"

"But if it's released during the summer, at least we'll save 200 million yuan on marketing and scheduling!"

“So, we released “Shu Shan” and “West of Anxi” during the summer vacation… The Spring Festival is too expensive!”

"...Where are you...I'm in Yunnan filming a movie, "Where the Wind Goes", working with Da Tiantian again..."

"Do you like her? Who wouldn't like Da Tiantian? She's beautiful, kind-hearted... and very innocent..."

"Dating? What the hell... Don't get too obsessed with love affairs when you're young. Sex is the bottom line!"

Then a brother asked about the Marvel movies...

What I'm saying is 'Why does it look ugly?'

Shen Liang nodded: "Because there are no "surprises". Hollywood blockbusters, whether Marvel or DC, these superhero movies are essentially "spectacle films" that show all kinds of spectacles that transcend reality.

But people’s threshold for wonders is constantly increasing!
After Marvel movies, Avengers 4, no one is interested anymore!"

"It follows the old path of the comics, with constant upgrades, essentially no different from Dragon Ball. When there is nothing left to upgrade, it restarts, using new science, new concepts, and new technologies to recreate wonders...

Marvel was originally a comic book.

There is no main plot. Anyway, there are always people invading the earth, and there are always people protecting the earth. When one is killed, the next one comes, and when the people protecting the earth get old, they are replaced by the next group. "

"I read the reviews, they said Ant-Man 3 is the third chapter of Outlaws of the Marsh, "Lu Tingjie punches the town of Guanxi": Lu Da cursed, "You bastard! How dare you answer me!" He raised his fist and punched him right between his eye socket and eyebrow, causing the eye socket to crack and black eyeballs to bulge out, like a colorful silk shop, with red, black and purple all blooming."

"It's not even as big as the one where Lu Zhijie punched Zhen Guanxi. The whole Caibo shop was seriously light-polluted."

“…I won’t watch it anyway!”

“There is something wrong with Hollywood movies… In fact, mainstream Hollywood blockbusters are controlled by big studios and producers. Many directors do not have the right to make a movie according to their own ideas even if they have cutting-edge ideas!”

"They're down!"

“…No more chatting, that’s all for today…I’m logging off now!”

After exiting the live broadcast room, Shen Liang stood up, stretched, and then went to the yard to do a set of boxing…

……

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Shen Liang prepared the food and waited for a while, and Yang Mi and Da Tiantian came back.

"Have you finished filming today? Wash your hands and eat something!"

"it is good!"

They changed their shoes, looked at the dishes Shen Liang had prepared, and then quickly went to wash their hands...

Da Tiantian: "Are you making mushrooms today?"

Yang Mi asked: "Is this Jianshouqing?"

"Yeah," Shen Liang nodded: "I specifically asked the chef, they said it's fine if you fry it well..."

“Is this delicious?”

"Try it!"

Yang Mi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks: "It's really delicious..."

Da Tiantian also tried it: "How is it made?" "Put the raw garlic in the pot first for seasoning, then pour in the mushrooms and stir-fry for about five minutes, then pour in the raw garlic and green peppers. When the raw garlic and green peppers are cooked, the mushrooms are also cooked, and try to use lard as much oil as possible!"

After a pause, Shen Liang added, "I asked the people here, most of them eat mushrooms, and they have experienced poisoning, but they never complain about the mushrooms when they are poisoned. Instead, they blame themselves for not cooking them well, not frying them well, not enough garlic, frying them too much, not reheating them thoroughly, eating too much, etc. In short, it is never the mushrooms' fault."

"Then...how can you guarantee that you will do nothing wrong this time?"

"Don't worry... I found a local chef and asked him for advice... You can enjoy your meal without worry!"

Shen Liang changed the subject: "Where did you shoot?"

Yang Mi said: "There is only one day left tomorrow, and my part will be over!"

"I watched a few scenes of you and Sister Tiantian acting together... they were quite interesting, and quite different from the scenes you acted in before!"

Yang Mi casually said: "...That's because I didn't like the previous filming..."

Da Tiantian asked: "If you don't like it, why do you take it?"

Yang Mi explained: "Most of the time it was the company that advised me..."

Shen Liang didn't quite understand: "The company advises you... If you don't accept it, the company can't do anything to you!"

"You don't understand. They are very good at persuading people and have a lot of market analysis..."

"PUA brainwashing?"

"Yes, yes, it's PUA!" After a pause, Yang Mi said, "So, I have to leave them!"

Shen Liang nodded: "...Okay, I understand!"

Da Tiantian suddenly asked: "Can you help Sister Mi?"

Shen Liang was surprised: "How can I help?"

"Didn't you even kick Zhang Yi out?"

"That's different... I have the absolute say in that movie. If I think Zhang Yi is not suitable, I can replace him... Sister Mi wants to leave her original agency... I have no say in this matter. I don't even know anyone from Jiaxing!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him...

"What's wrong?" Shen Liang was dissatisfied: "Did I say something wrong?"

"You don't know Rouba?"

"…I mean the major shareholder of your company, Rouba is not the management!"

Da Tiantian immediately asked, "Did you really kick Zhang Yi out of the crew?"

Shen Liang was very frank: "...Yes!"

"He...is very skilled."

“…Maybe.” Shen Liang thought for a moment and sighed, “No matter how high our skills are, we are not the same kind of people!”

“…I don’t understand!”

Shen Liang: "I represent the new forces of the film industry. Most of the people around me are young filmmakers. Director Zhang Yimou is different. He is an old-school filmmaker and his ideas are very old-fashioned... I can't get along with him!"

Yang Mi said: "...They said it was because "Man Jiang Hong" stole the box office of "The Wandering Earth 2"...you are unhappy!"

"I'm really upset... In my opinion, the movie "Man Jiang Hong" should have a box office of at most 40 billion yuan, but it actually sold billion yuan. This is a blasphemy to the market and the audience!"

"I thought you were upset with Yi Yang Qianxi!"

"…It has nothing to do with him…I don't know him!"

Yang Mi smiled and said, "They said Yi Yang Qianxi is shaking your position!"

Shen Liang was surprised: "…Is there such a saying?"
