I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 81 Can’t find the heroine? (55)

Wu Jing talked about "Wolf Warrior 2" and Guangguang...

His wife Xie Nan is a veteran employee of Guangguang, one of the three treasures of Guangguang!

When Guangxian went public, there were reports that Xie Nan had become a multi-millionaire.

In other words, Guangxian has the opportunity to invest in "Wolf Warrior 2"!

Moreover, when Wu Jing and Xie Nan got married, Wang Changtian was the witness...

If you are talking about the first "Wolf Warrior", there is no movie of this type in China, and Wu Jing had previously made a movie called "Wolf Tooth", which was a huge loss!
Financing is definitely quite difficult because for capital, they judge directors and projects, and often use past performance to measure whether a person is worthy of investment.

It’s understandable that Guangxian didn’t invest, but why didn’t they invest in the second part?

The first movie made 500 million at the box office. No matter how good the second movie is, it won’t be any worse than the first one.

Can't figure it out!
You know, Wolf Warrior 2 has 14 producers...

Not only did they not invest, they also released Eternal Love during the summer season, directly competing with Wolf Warrior 2...

Then, Guangxian’s stock price plummeted!

Facing netizens’ doubts, many netizens left comments directly on Guangguang CEO Wang Changtian’s Weibo, saying that they couldn’t understand Guangguang’s operation, and really left comments to scold him…

"Can't you see what the movie looks like before you guarantee it? I don't believe you can be so confident about such a bad movie. It's visibly bad! It's not as good as Tiny Times."
Some netizens asked directly, "Xie Nan is a veteran employee of Guangguang. Even if Wu Jing is not considered as an employee's family member, his dedication to the film and his own level are obvious to all!"
As one of the few military-themed films in China, the Wolf Warriors series is likely to create a big wave in the market. It is said that Xie Nan also extended an olive branch to Wu Jing's old employer on behalf of Wu Jing. Everyone knows the result... As a small shareholder, I really want to know what the top management thought at the time. '

However, Wang Changtian did not respond...

There must be something going on here!
Wu Jing talked about his drunken behavior, and probably decisively rejected Wang Changtian's request for copyright and his attempt to get someone involved...

“And then he stopped voting?”

"…Well, my tone of refusal was not very nice…"

"Swearing?"

"That's not the case," Wu Jing chuckled, "Just like you, when I rejected you, I couldn't help but tell you a few truths..."

Shen Liang probably understood and raised his glass: "...Then, let's have a drink!"

"I...can't drink anymore, I'll just drink half..."

"It's okay, feel free to..."

Shen Liang drank it all in one gulp, then said to Guo Fan: "In a few days, let's invite the crew next door..."

Gong Geer nodded: "Well, we should ask Ning Hao..."

The space capsule built by Ning Hao's team was overturned by his own crew and could not be used, so they simply lent it to "The Wandering Earth"...

“…What’s being filmed next door?”

"Crazy Alien, adapted from The Rural Teacher... directed by Ning Hao, is the work of Liu Cixin, just like our The Wandering Earth!"

“Oh, they are all works by Liu Cixin?”

"Well, after The Three-Body Problem, Liu Cixin has become a big IP!"

Wu Jing changed the subject: "I don't know much about science fiction. The specific shooting still depends on the director's guidance..."

"It's all the same, it's the first time..." Guo Fan hurriedly said: "Brother Jing, if you have any good suggestions, don't hide them, let's discuss them together!"

"That's for sure!"

"Brother Jing..."

Guo Fan and Wu Jing talked about the filming. Shen Liang was a little bored and was about to eat something, but then his phone rang...

He looked at the caller ID and stood up: "I'll take a call!"

……

It was a call from Ma Hao, telling him that the Spring Festival Gala production team would personally go to Qingdao to discuss the matter of "Wanjiang" with Shen Liang tomorrow...

“…release first?”

"Probably not. Maybe he wants to hide it. He's singing it for the first time on the Spring Festival Gala..."

Shen Liang was puzzled: "Then... there is no need to come here in person, right?"

“…They recommended a female singer to sing with you!”

"Who?"

"Yu Yueyue, the teacher of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe!"

“…I don’t know her…” “All you need to know is that this woman is a singer in the system!”

Shen Liang nodded: "Oh, from the national team... I see!"

“…‘Seaweed Dance’ will be released on the first of next month. I have already made an agreement with President Long that all resources will be mobilized for promotion…”

"Thank you, Sister Ma!"

“…The actor contracts for “Do You Know?” have also been signed, about 200 million…”

"Two million? Isn't that too little? How many episodes will I appear in?"

"According to the length, it's about five episodes... Your role isn't very focused, so it will probably take about two months to shoot!"

"Okay..." Shen Liang didn't really care about his pay, since he was still in the growth stage...

Ma Hao continued, "Mango TV is going to make a variety show called "The 72-Story Tower" and has sent you an invitation..."

"…'The 72-Story Tower'? What the hell is that?"

I'm not pretending, Shen Liang really has no impression!

"The reality show has invited Wu Lili, Zhao Liying, and Ren Dawei... and has also invited you..."

"A regular guest?"

"Correct!"

"Don't go!"

When Shen Liang heard Wu Keke's name, he shook his head decisively...

"It's fine if you don't go," Ma Hao didn't want Shen Liang to appear on the show either. Her reason was simpler: "I offered 50 per episode, but they told me they didn't have much money. I'm really impressed. They had the money to invite Wu Jiejie and Zhao Liying, but now it's your turn and you don't have the money? Who would believe that? You don't have any sincerity at all!"

"…Anything else?"

"A fashion magazine has arranged to shoot a cover for you. I asked them to go directly to Qingdao to find you!"

"fashion magazine?"

"You did well in the cover of Harper's Bazaar last time and received good reviews... This time GQ has invited you to shoot the cover of the November issue..."

"Harper's Bazaar"?
Shen Liang remembered that he took a photo of the inside pages last month...

Is it a good performance?
How to judge good and bad?

Sales volume?
But the cover photo for October is not him...

Never mind. GQ is also a big fashion magazine. People are willing to make photo shoots with you. There must be a big brand to pay for it. Sure enough, Ma Hao continued, “Gucci will still pay for it this time… They have upgraded your title to the level of a brand friend…”

“…just brand friends?”

"You are not Wu Jiejie, it's already good enough that you can get the brand friend title!"

Uh, this sentence made Shen Liang want to hang up the phone...

Different titles represent different levels of brand recognition, celebrity involvement, and celebrity profit share.

In terms of hierarchy, spokesperson > image ambassador > brand friend > other titles (such as experience officer, energy officer, muse, etc.)…

The role of brand friends is to “bring goods”…

In most cases, they will bring the brand's products to various promotional events. The brand achieves brand exposure through the influence of the star themselves, and the star also uses the brand halo to increase his popularity. It is a mutually beneficial form of cooperation for both parties.

Shen Liang estimated that it would be difficult to be promoted to spokesperson!

His ability to bring goods is just like that...

But he didn't care...

For him, high-end luxury goods like Gucci are just clothes he borrows to wear when attending events!
"Any thing else?"

"Wait a minute!" Ma Hao continued, "...you asked me to send the script of "Time Travel Cohabitation" to Yang Mi. She likes this play very much, but her team is not optimistic about it..."

"so what?"

"So, please recommend someone else!"

"Who can I recommend? I only know a Yang Mi..."

Ma Hao replied: "That's Xu Zheng's concern. OK, I'm hanging up..."

"…goodbye!"
