I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 821: Over Billion in Three Days

For the next three days, the crew of "Her Disappearance" was on the road, and Shen Liang basically fell asleep as soon as he got on the bus. When he got off the bus, he drank a cup of coffee and then stayed energetic for 30 minutes...

Not only him, Rouba, Nazha and even Wen Yongshan are like this!

In fact, the three of them can take a break...

If it really doesn't work, we can work in shifts.

But I don’t know why, no one took the initiative to rest!
Maybe it's because of the competitive mentality...

Shen Liang didn't care. He knew his physical condition very well...

Still quite durable!

Oh, Chen Sicheng is really awesome. At the Hupu special, he took the lead in shouting "Thank you Hupu brothers for giving me the nickname" - Knife in hand, kill like dogs!

Being able to remain calm and even make jokes about insults directed at him really makes people admire his shameless spirit. He is indeed a businessman who can bend and stretch when it comes to his bread and butter.

Think about another great director named Chen...

'People can't be so shameless!'

Obviously, the little poetry reciting master doesn’t understand his audience, nor does he understand marketing!

By the way, during the roadshow of "She Vanished", the posters and billboards of the theater showed that He Fei, played by Shen Liang, had his head cut off...

It became a trending search!

Shen Liang’s response also became a hot topic…

'There are indeed people like He Fei in this world. I think an actor's job is to bring all kinds of roles like this to everyone. The character of He Fei is the same. He tells many women that a man's face, words, and manners have nothing to do with his true nature, especially the three things of "pornography, gambling, and drugs". Regardless of whether a man is a man or a woman, whoever gets involved in them is a piece of mud. You should stay as far away as possible. Don't think you can save these people.'

Then an audience member asked, "Brother Liang, you said that all characters have a part of yourself in them, so what about He Fei? Which part of you is he?"

'…I have to thank the Internet for this. I can see a lot of information, learn and imitate. Of course, the most important thing is the judgment of the director and producer. When we actors act, we tend to overdo it or not do it well enough. At this time, we need the director's judgment…'

'So do you think He Fei is a pure evil person?'

'Normal people would think He Fei is a bad guy, but I couldn't think like that when I was creating the character. I had to give him a miserable childhood and a reasonable logic... We talked to the person involved in the cliff fall case. Her husband was a gambler. Her family background was similar to He Fei's. Her father was an alcoholic. Her mother liked to play cards and would play cards whenever she had time. When her father ran out of money, he would ask her mother for it. If she didn't give him money, she would beat him!'

'This family background made him naturally think that his wife's money was his! He asked Li Muzi for money, but Li Muzi refused to give it to him and even wanted a divorce... so he had no choice but to kill her! '

"In He Fei's opinion, Li Muzi is my wife, so you should help me pay off my debts unconditionally. If you don't help me, you are betraying me. Then I will fight for it myself. Anyway, your money is my money. It's just a matter of time. I just killed a betrayer and got the money that belongs to me..."

'It definitely takes some mental preparation. He Fei is an antisocial person. He needs a reason to convince himself to take action!'

'I talked to the directors about He Fei's psychological process, and they all said I was a pervert... I was really convinced. It was He Fei who was perverted, not me. I'm just an actor! '

Well, since the movie was released, Shen Liang has basically been on the hot search list...

Not only because of "She Vanished", but also because of the promotional song of "In the Octagon" - "Rakshasa Sea City"...

This song, like "Cage", soared to the top 1 or 2 on all major music platforms...

"Cage" was also written and composed by Shen Liang!
Oh, "She Vanished" was released on June 6nd, and "The Octagon Cage" started previewing on June 22nd. As of June 6th, "She Vanished" was released for three days and the cumulative box office was 22 billion, and "The Octagon Cage" took 6 million in three days of previewing...

There will be a large-scale preview for 8 days afterwards!

However, "She Vanished" did ignite the market...

Over one billion in three days!
Although it is not as good as the top projects during the Spring Festival, this result did shock many people in the industry...

You know, at the beginning, the theaters expected the box office of "Gone Girl" to be around 15 billion...

Even with a first-day box office of 2.1 million, Maoyan only predicted a total box office of 19 billion!
Now, it has exceeded 1 billion in three days, and the momentum is not slowing down...

Maoyan has changed its total box office forecast to 42 billion!

…On the 26th, after the roadshow, a group of people returned to the hotel.

Shen Liang remembered something and said to Chen Sicheng, "Director Chen, I will finish the promotion tomorrow and fly directly to Gansu!"

"Is it so urgent? Can't we run for another two days?"

"No, I'll just take five days off... The Westward Journey to Anxi is very urgent..."

Shen Liang is ready to return to the crew...

Chen Sicheng hesitated: "How about I talk to Cao Dun?"

Shen Liang was speechless: "Brother, I am the producer of "Westward Anxi"..."

"then you…"

Shen Liang explained: "I have the production schedule in my hand. I cannot take leave for more than five days. Otherwise, the crew will not be able to carry out their work..."

"Who is the protagonist in that play?"

"I'm the protagonist..."

Chen Sicheng was surprised: "You are acting with Jackie Chan, and you are the protagonist?"

"Of course, Jackie Chan's character was taken offline midway..."

"Then how did you convince him?"

"I went to guest star in "Dragon Horse Spirit", and director Stanley Tong was also there. He wanted me to play in "Legend", but I didn't think much of Stanley Tong... I didn't agree, and by the way, I advised him not to harm Jackie Chan..."

"Wow, you really said that?"

"…That's what I meant, I didn't say it directly, then Stanley Tong was very dissatisfied and asked me if I had a better script, so I took out "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Miles West of Anxi"…Jackie Chan liked it very much and joined!"

Naza suddenly interrupted: "I took Legend!"

"I know. I approached Liu Yifei first, but she refused. Then I approached you..." After a pause, Shen Liang added, "Tang Jili's creative thinking is too backward. He can't keep up with the aesthetic taste of modern audiences... For things like movies, young creators are always closer to the audience!"

“But I already took it…”

"It doesn't matter... This is your second collaboration with Jackie Chan, right?"

"Yes! I've filmed "Police Story 2013" before..."

In "Police Story 2013", Naza plays Wu Jiang (Liu Ye)'s sister... a major supporting role.

Wen Yongshan also chimed in: "...Can our movie make over 40 billion?"

Chen Sicheng thought for a moment and said, "It should be about the same..."

"what do you say?"

Shen Liang said casually: "I think so too...what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just feel it's magical..."

"What's so magical?"

Wen Yongshan counted on her fingers: "Look, I filmed two movies with you. "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" has a box office of over 30 billion, and "She Vanished" has a box office of over 40 billion. So, will the next cooperation exceed billion?"

Chen Sicheng: "The next movie... Shushan?"

"You just made a cameo appearance in "Shu Shan"... not a starring role!"
