I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 826 Breaking 40 billion! (13)

The publicity team originally wanted to hype up a CP or something...

But it’s not easy. Although Shen Liang doesn’t object...but who can He Fei create a couple with?

This is a pure evil character!

And "She Vanished" focuses on women's rights...

girls help girls!

I just started marketing the friendship between Rouba and Naza...

They didn't resist - what was there to resist? They were already in a shared relationship!
During the interview, Naza said, "This play was introduced to me by Rouba. I told her before, 'If there is a suitable role, you must find me,' and then she found me!"

'We were classmates before, she was my senior...'

'We have always been in touch, and sometimes we share things that our families send us.'

"There are few opportunities for cooperation. Usually no crew will look for both of us at the same time, except for "Shushan" and then "She Vanished"..."

Rouba also said, "Many self-media like to spread rumors, saying that I compete with her or something like that, but that's not true. We get together every year to talk about life, work, etc...."

'My recommendation is actually useless. The most important thing is Shen Liang and Director Chen. They thought it was good, and then they used it!'

This interview was on three hot searches: #Rouba introduces Naza to play Li Muzi#, #Naza, Rouba sisterhood#, #Rouba is Naza's senior#…

So, we started discussing meat and sodium...

That’s good, we finally stop discussing Shen Liang.

……

On July 7, "Octagon" was officially released, exactly half a month away from "Her"!

If this had been agreed upon before, the cumulative box office of "Gone Girl" would have exceeded 35 billion...

The momentum is still strong - the single-day box office on weekdays is over 1 million...

Chen Sicheng regretted that he should have delayed the release of "In the Octagon" to 20 days...

——"Octagon Cage", Chen Sicheng also invested in it.

"Octagon Cage" has a very good reputation. After six days of large-scale screenings, the cumulative box office has exceeded 3.4 million!
According to predictions, the box office of "Octagon Cage" will be at least 18 billion.

But if there was no "She's Missing", "Octagon Cage" would definitely have exceeded 20 billion!
In fact, "The Octagon" has been withdrawn from the schedule for a week. It was originally planned to be released on June 6, but because of concerns that it would affect "Gone Girl", it was changed to a preview...

As for the quality of "In the Octagon"...

If you compare it with "Dying to Survive", you probably won't be satisfied. The criticism of "Octagon Cage" is just enough and not thorough enough.

He is even very rebellious. Not only does he not cater to the media, he also dares to mock them openly.

What’s even more infuriating is that he films black-hearted capitalists, shameless coaches, unscrupulous principals... But he doesn’t blame society for his bad luck and the government for his miserable life. Instead, he openly shows the poverty alleviation achievements at the end of the film.

The result is that those who want to have fun can’t have fun, and those who want to curse can’t curse with enough energy.

But the director of this movie is Wang Baoqiang!

Technically speaking, the director's quality in "The Octagon" is far above the passing line and can be considered "excellent".

Some of the hidden details and figurative expressions are even a little surprising.

"A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: India" owes its audience a debt, and the golden broom it received can be returned. The main theme is to keep one's word and keep one's promise.
Pretty good!
The biggest problem with "In the Octagon" is that Bao Qiang's role is a bit of a steal. Yes, it is Bao Qiang's movie, and he is the absolute master of the movie. If he is willing and able, he can play a 180-minute one-man show. But in addition to being the leading actor, he is also the director of the work.

A good director must learn to make choices about the materials at hand.

I want everything, but I can't get anything.

So what is the main plot of this movie?

It is a way out for orphans, it is children, it is the future.

In fact, if this movie focuses its narrative theme on children, there are many points that can be explored!

For example, fighting is their only way out.

why?

In the movie, the children first appeared using sharp stones as roadblocks and robbing passing vehicles.

Their intentions are obvious, and so is their future—to expand the ranks of the lower classes of society and criminals.

When Brother Hui held the children's "guardians" accountable, the parents disappeared. The explanation was just two simple lines: Dad died, and Mom ran away with someone.

Combined with the reality, the father may be engaged in criminal activities, and very serious criminal activities.

In addition, the irrational allocation of educational resources, the sky-high tuition fees, and the student registration system are problems of the times that cannot be changed or solved by the protagonists alone.

It should be okay to just briefly mention it...

But I still say that compared to Bao Qiang’s last movie “Journey to India”, “Octagon Cage” has made obvious progress and is full of sincerity!

Therefore, on the third day of its official release, the box office of "In the Octagon" surpassed that of "She Vanished" - the single-day box office was 1.65 million, while that of "She Vanished" was 1.49 million...

On July 7, the 10th day of the release of "Gone Girl", the single-day box office fell by 19 million, closing at 1 million, and "Octagon Cage" was 8400 million...

However, at this time, the total box office of "She Was Missing" has reached 39 billion.

40 billion is just around the corner!
……

"'Westward to Anxi'...will probably take about 30 days to shoot, and I'll have to take 10 days off in between..."

In the live broadcast room, Shen Liang shared his recent work with his brothers.

"I'm going to ask for leave to promote "Shushan"... The first part of "Shushan" is related to the subsequent progress... Word of mouth is important, box office is also important, so publicity is very important..."

"In the world of immortals, there must be handsome men and beautiful women... Yes, I played the villain... Not really a villain, but I just didn't agree with the righteous ideals represented by the Shushan School, or Emei..."

"What concept? I definitely can't tell you! This is the basis for implementing the "Shushan" trilogy. If I tell you, it will be a direct spoiler!"

"Yes, the plot has been changed a lot," Shen Liang continued, "In fact, the original novel "Swordsman of Shu Mountain" wrote the opposition between good and evil too clearly, and the portrayal of human nature was too simple. The righteous people are perfect and full of virtues, and the occasional small shortcomings are also to highlight the character's personality.

Demons are pure evil, committing murder, arson, greed, lust, and all kinds of evil."

"We intercepted a section of Ziyun Palace... Those who have read "Swordsman of Shu Mountain" should know that in the Ziyun Palace plot, the shameless villains like the Nanhai Shuangtong, who committed many evils, were recruited and protected by Emei just because they had a grudge against Ziyun Palace. Emei obviously coveted Ziyun Palace and had been planning for a long time. The younger generation of Emei has committed many sins of killing, and often kills people and steals treasures without knowing right or wrong. Under the guise of sword immortals, they do the things of robbers... This writing style is a bit like the dispute between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect in "Investiture of the Gods". The Chan Sect did many selfish things in the name of justice and behaved badly. Niangniang Shiji had her beloved disciple killed by Nezha of the Chan Sect for no reason. Shiji went to Nezha to ask for an explanation, but Nezha took the opportunity to kill Shiji's only remaining beloved disciple. Niangniang Shiji took Nezha's magic weapon, and Nezha fled to Taiyi Zhenren to ask for protection. Taiyi said that it was fate that Niangniang Shiji's disciple would be killed..."

"Let's not talk about Investiture of the Gods. After all, The Legend of Zu will be released at the same time as Investiture of the Gods Part 1!"
