I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 819: 21 Billion on the First Day

Rouba, Naza and Wen Yongshan all chatted for a while, and then Chen Sicheng talked about the changes in the market: "We are making movies now, and we have to change!

Because of the decline of the entire macro-economy, people have no money, and the smallest impact means a decrease in the frequency of movie watching.

In the past, an average person might watch five or eight movies a year, but now he may only watch one or two, so it becomes so important to watch this movie!

In the past, after watching some bad movies, audiences would just come out and curse a few words and then forget about it.

Not anymore, because people’s enthusiasm for consumption is very low and their tolerance for bad movies is also very low.

So I think that in the future, word of mouth may be the most important thing. It may be that only "tap water" is the only way to attract audiences to the cinema. The era of relying solely on publicity to attract audiences to the cinema may have passed. In the future, good movies will have to rely on "tap water" to spread from person to person. After all, now is not the time for blind consumption. "

"Does Liangge agree with this view?"

"Of course!" Shen Liang nodded: "In fact, I can analyze the reasons: once an industry becomes a bloodline inheritance system, its decline is also doomed! There are too many second generations in our industry. When the core resources of the industry are inherited as bloodlines + small circles, ordinary people naturally have no chance to make a breakthrough.

But the second generation of artists who inherited the resources of their parents do not have the talent to take over the resources, so the pain period began. The price of this pain period may be that some audiences will never have the habit of going to the cinema again. "

Shen Liang then added: "I will always remember a sentence that was said by Nintendo founder Hiroshi Yamauchi: Games are not necessities of life. If they are not interesting, no one will want them even if they are given away for free! The same is true for all products in the entertainment industry. If a movie is not interesting enough and no one wants to watch it, no one will want to watch it!"

……

Many people in the industry say that movies are not selling well, but marketing companies are doing better and better every year!

Everyone is investing money in marketing.

Then it became "the film producers hope that the marketing companies will deceive the investors, the investors hope that the marketing companies will deceive the audience to pay, the marketing companies will deceive the investors and the film producers, thinking that the audience will pay only on them, but in the end the audience doesn't buy their tricks"...

Of course, "She Vanished" is pretty good...

This movie is very Chen Sicheng, playing with memes + binding with social issues + a suspenseful shell.

It is not a suspenseful film, nor does it attempt to show off its skills to conquer the audience. It is entirely for the audience's viewing experience, and to achieve this requires strong psychological insight and technical operational capabilities.

The audience can follow the plot comfortably throughout the whole process, without being confused at all, and the suspense is maintained at the right level of alternating between "on the verge of revealing" and "suddenly realizing".

Of course, this movie is unlikely to get a high score!

Chen Sicheng is so vulgar!
Worried that the audience wouldn't understand, the film does flashback after flashback, and all the ins and outs have to be made clear to the audience. Even the girls' childhood friendship is no exception. The film is afraid that the audience will think a little more or have some divergent thoughts, even at the cost of disrupting the film's narrative rhythm.

——The main theme is that he is afraid that the audience won’t understand, so even though he has hinted a lot, he still has to spend time explaining it again!
Because if the audience thinks about it for a moment, they will find that there are many wrongs in it, the logic is full of holes, and everything is built on fragile gravel.

The most typical one: the story begins with the protagonist not being able to find a photo of his wife, but ends with the heroine seeing a huge missing person notice when she arrives at the police station!
It brings together some eye-catching social cases, mixed with some anti-marriage, anti-childbirth, and gender confrontation, and finally uses girls helping girls to elevate the theme, and the filming is particularly easy to understand.

As for Van Gogh and the starry sky, they actually better illustrate the background of Chen Sicheng's movies. He knows too well how to make the audience feel good about themselves. It feels like reading "Story Club" while feeling as if you are caressing "Remembrance of Things Past" and being intoxicated.

The pretentious expression, mixed with the overbearing president's narrative, uses an invisible tension to attract ordinary audiences...

In fact, sometimes I think that this may really be the direction of development of movies in the era of short videos: it is enough for the rhythm and reversal to make people feel good!

……

"He Fei is a scumbag... I am not... Don't scold me after watching the movie..."

At the first show of the road show, Shen Liang faced a crowd of audiences and said, "Everyone should pay attention to distinguishing between roles and reality... I am a good person, my name is Shen Liang, not He Fei!"

Chen Sicheng chuckled: "Are you giving in?"

"I have to admit my mistake. I didn't expect that I played such a hateful character..." "Then... Brother Liang, how did you grasp the role of He Fei?"

“…find the character’s personality and emotional logic…Let me first tell you, I’m talking about He Fei,” Shen Liang explained: “He is a gambler. There is an up-person called Jieshe on Bilibili. His live broadcast content is to receive submissions from gamblers and listen to their stories.

The most explosive story is this:
A gambler owed 80,000 yuan on the Internet and was unable to repay it. He didn't dare tell his family for fear that his parents would blame him. But at this time his mother fell ill, and his father went to take care of her and had no time to take care of him. His mother died soon after, leaving him an insurance money of 100,000 yuan.

This gambler wrote:
"With no one to supervise me, I borrowed more and more, and I borrowed about 8 yuan. I couldn't pay it back on my own, but coincidentally, my mother passed away at the end of the year, and the insurance money was 10 yuan."

"But coincidentally, my mother died and I received 10 yuan."

"When I played He Fei, I was referring to this gambler. So, when He Fei first met Li Muzi, he saved her in the diving hall. Now, he can pretend that nothing happened, trick her into the sea, and kill her..."

"So, how was it like performing?"

"It's quite enjoyable," Shen Liang chuckled, "I always think that actors shouldn't try to protect their roles. Protecting a role is actually protecting oneself from the heart... It's quite interesting to take on more villain roles! Don't make up for him..."

Chen Sicheng: "In "Shushan" and "All or Nothing", you played villains?"

"right…"

"I want to ask Rouba..."

……

After a day of running, I headed straight to the airport...

There was no time to even go back to the hotel!
The next day is the roadshow in Shanghai.

In the car, Chen Sicheng asked, "How much is the box office?"

Shen Liang took out his phone and said, "I just saw it was 1.9 million. It should be over million now, right?"

Naza said, "...2.1 million!"

“…Let me see…”

Chen Sicheng took Naza's phone...

The real-time box office shows that it is indeed 2.12 million...
