I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 822 No need

"Shushan" will be released on the 20th of next month, and Shen Liang will definitely have to promote it.

This is also the reason why he is anxious to return to the crew...

According to the plan, Shen Liang had to stay in the crew of "Westward Anxi" for at least two months...

Well, Liang Ge actually doesn’t value time that much. When it comes to filming, efficiency comes first!

But no matter how efficient you are, filming takes time.

"West of Anxi" is not a low-budget genre film. It is a historical and military theme with a large investment. It is shot on location and the large scenes even require the mobilization of thousands of people!
The shooting period of the whole play is four months.

Liang Ge has a lot of scenes, so even if we concentrate on filming, it will take at least two months!

Therefore, he will most likely have to take leave to promote "Shushan".

Moreover, relatively speaking, "Shushan" is more important to Shen Liang!
After all, "Shushan" was produced by Shen Liang Studio with an investment of nearly 3 million yuan. Moreover, "Shushan: Origin" is related to the subsequent "Shushan: Sword Fighting" and "Shushan: Heaven and Earth Tribulation"...

The total cost of "She Vanished" was only 8000 million...

Shen Liang’s pay is 1500 million + tiered box office share!
If the box office exceeds 10 billion, he can take 10% of the box office share after deducting the cost. If it exceeds 20 billion, it is the previous share plus 15% of the box office share between 20 billion and 30 billion. If it exceeds 20 billion, it is an additional % of the box office share between billion and billion...

40 billion, which is 30% of the 40-25 billion range...

The cap is 40%, which means 70 billion box office!
The producers will be dissatisfied with the fixed 15% box office share!

Let's calculate based on the 40 billion box office. After deducting the cost, the total share is about 15.5 billion, and 15% is 2.325 million...

The tiered profit sharing is 2.36 million!
3500 million more.

Of course, this kind of profit sharing is actually quite disadvantageous to Shen Liang...

But he is of high character!

Well... he rarely takes on foreign films, maybe even one a year, so just split the profits based on this. If you don't want to, forget it!
……

"Shushan is a special effects film, and its counterpart is Investiture of the Gods... So, Investiture of the Gods Part 7 will be released on July 20, and ours will also be released on July 7!"

Chen Sicheng sighed: "Do you hate Chen Kun so much?"

Shen Liang was puzzled: "What does it have to do with Chen Kun?"

“Chen Kun is in The Investiture of the Gods!”

"I really don't pay attention to this. I only know that the director of "Investiture of the Gods" investigated domestic special effects companies and said they were not good enough, so he found someone to set up a visual effects company and held 70% of the shares. The special effects company has an office in BJ and Los Angeles respectively. The domestic concept design was outsourced to eight foreign companies, including Australia, the United States, New Zealand, South Korea, and other countries. Weta was one of them... Even with this, they still have the nerve to brag about 'the first domestic heavy industrial special effects blockbuster'..."

Wen Yongshan: "Ah? Isn't this money laundering?"

“…This is not money laundering…When The Lord of the Rings was being filmed, Peter Jackson also founded a special effects company, Weta Digital. Cameron founded Digital Domain for True Lies…Director Wu Ershan is just following the example of his predecessors!”

"But I still feel..."

"The basis for judgment is very simple, just look at the finished film and you will know!"

Chen Sicheng: "Are you confident about "Shushan"?"

"Well, we are very confident. Even in Hollywood, the special effects are not inferior. Moreover, we have introduced the special effects team since the preparation period, and it took a full 18 months. The cycle is sufficient!"

"When the premiere comes, remember to send me an invitation!"

"That's a must..."

After chatting for a while, the car arrived at the hotel, and Shen Liang remembered something: "Lao Chen, do you want to do a live broadcast with me?"

"Promote 'She's Gone'?" "Yes!"

Chen Sicheng looked Shen Liang up and down: "...Aren't you tired?"

"I'm fine... I can handle it. I just need to wash my face later!"

"…I…"

Chen Sicheng was about to agree when his assistant reminded him, "Brother, there will be an interview later!"

“…Forget it…just do the live broadcast yourself…” Chen Sicheng shook his head regretfully, and then suggested: “You can bring the three of them with you!”

Shen Liangyi refused righteously: "It's late at night, a man and a woman alone, how can this be so embarrassing!"

"... "

Chen Sicheng almost couldn't help himself...

Damn it, when we were on the set, you spent every night together...did you really think I didn't know?
……

"'Gone Girl' is a commercial film, and commercial films need to attract a large number of non-suspense film audiences, so the film is relatively straightforward in its handling of suspense, and it certainly cannot satisfy the viewing requirements of suspense lovers... The Douban score dropped by 7 points, which is within expectations!"

When he entered the live broadcast room, he first answered the question about the declining reputation score of "Her".

Then he said: "This is not my movie after all, I am just an actor... This creative mode of exoticism + suspense + crime is very Chen Sicheng!"

"I still like Chen Sicheng very much. He made "Vanished Girl" just to make money, and he only wanted to make money from mainland audiences, so he repeatedly studied the preferences of mainland audiences... "Vanished Girl" at least has an interesting story, clear logic, smooth rhythm, and beautiful pictures. It is not only the director himself who can understand it, but ordinary audiences can also understand it..."

"He has a clear self-positioning. He understands that the first rule of commercial films is to put customers first, not art first, or even self first!"

"Of course, many so-called film artists don't actually put art first, but the art of "foreigners" first. They make movies for the recognition of foreigners!"

Then a group of people in the live broadcast room asked him to give examples.

Shen Liang chuckled: "Give me an example... Do you think I'm afraid? Well, I am indeed quite afraid... I am now considered a mainstream filmmaker, so there are many things that are difficult to say, but those who are interested can look through my previous live broadcast records, I believe you will gain something!"

"The song "Rakshasi Haishi" is actually a satire on the media. I have read the script of the movie "Octagonal Cage". The ending is that Xiang Tenghui, played by Bao Qiang, uses self-defilement to attract attention. Under heavy pressure, he defeats his opponent with the help of public opinion and wins a good ending... I thought of "Rakshasi Haishi" in "Liao Zhai" at the time..."

"It tells the story of a handsome man named Ma Ji, who was accidentally blown by a hurricane to a country that values ​​beauty over talent - the Great Rakshasa Country. In this country, ugliness is considered beautiful, and officials are given based on appearance. The rank of an official decreases with beauty and ugliness. The handsome Ma Ji is regarded as a monster in this country... The story vividly depicts a deformed society where beauty and ugliness are not distinguished, black and white are reversed, and good and evil are abnormal..."

"The stories in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" are always new... I think they are similar to Xiang Tenghui's in "In the Octagonal Cage", so I wrote this song at that time..."

……

After chatting for an hour without realizing it, Shen Liang ended the broadcast, took a bottle of red wine, went out, and knocked on Wen Yongshan's door...

I had been thinking that since it was the last day, we could all have a drink together and not engage in any artistic exchanges. It would be nice to just chat and talk about our feelings!
I'm overthinking it. The three of them have no intention of talking to each other...

Just want to communicate art!

Wen Yongshan even suggested that Shen Liang not use security measures and then see who gets pregnant...

As expected of the young model master, with many styles...

It is similar to the legendary Russian roulette.

However, Shen Liang certainly disagreed. This was too dangerous!

Liang Ge went to the hospital for a test and his activity rate was A, which makes it very easy for a woman to get pregnant.

Therefore, blocking the elves is standard!
