I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 831: Invitation from the Mars Intelligence Agency? (33)

Oh, at the roadshow, some audience members asked about the status of "Fengshen" and "Superpower Family"...

Lu Yang and Shen Liang didn't say a word...

Nowadays, Shen Liang rarely publicly criticizes movies when they are released...

What’s more, the movies released in the same period…

After all, we are all in the same circle, and we will see each other every day.

It's not that I'm scared, I just feel embarrassed...

It’s certainly satisfying to take revenge, but... the circle is so small, and Shen Liang knows many film producers and distributors.

For example, the distributor of "The Legend of Conferred Gods Part I" is Maoyan. In fact, many of Shen Liang’s films are co-distributed by Maoyan, including this time’s "Shushan", which is also a co-distributor of Maoyan.

Shen Liang has to give others face!

However, the fact that he gave others face did not mean that he was a coward. He just adhered to the principle of not firing the first shot. Whenever the other party mentioned himself, Shen Liang would definitely fight back!
"Fengshen" can't hold it anymore~
Because too many people criticized the special effects of the movie - compared to "Shushan"!
Moreover, Wu Ershan said during the live broadcast, "The level of special effects in Chinese movies is not good, so we are looking for special effects companies in the United States and Canada!"

"Shushan" clearly stated that "the special effects were all made by domestic special effects companies."

Didn’t you say that domestic special effects companies can’t do it?
Failed to dump the blame!

Besides, the plot of "Fengshen" is just like that...

——Everyone who has read "Investiture of the Gods" knows that the biggest highlight of this book is its world view setting, and the movie "Investiture of the Gods" just takes the dregs and leaves the essence.

You can either stick to historical facts, with civil engineering, clothing made of mixed animal skins and fabrics, bronze weapons and chariots;

Or you can make it more fantasy-oriented, with mounts such as five-colored divine bulls and sika deer, and various magic weapons to be used in battle.

This film is useless except for the chest muscles, and the plot is full of illogicality...

I don't understand why so many people are praising...

Take a look at their publicity and distribution company. Well, it almost overlaps with "Man Jiang Hong"...

No wonder!

As for Wu Ershan's weird remarks, about the casting director being a "fourth-class citizen" and the like, it is meaningless. No matter how much the Norwegians brag about the martial and brave Viking ancestors who beat up old London, Assassin's Creed Valhalla still speaks English, and there is not even a Norwegian option.

Cultural condiments are cultural condiments.

Even if it smells a bit smelly, it's just a condiment!

In the original time and space, the producer of "Fengshen" was also the producer who hyped up "Hi, Mom" ​​two years ago and sold 2 billion yuan. However, it did not affect the Internet trolls and fans who boasted about the "industrialization of movies", despised "small movies" and repeatedly used "Hi, Mom" ​​as a counterexample, shouting at the top of their lungs: "If "Fengshen" cannot sell well, the Chinese film industry will be finished, and only "Hi, Mom" ​​will be left." It's really funny...

Even a bunch of netizens were accused of "destroying national unity"...

Didn't they start this thing first?

Oh, in this time and space, the first four days of the first week of "Investiture of the Gods" have accumulated a box office of 1.2 million, and the total box office is expected to be 4 million...

I was stunned by "Shushan"...

It couldn't get any of the screening schedule, word of mouth, or publicity. As for the so-called "Chinese heavy industry film", few people paid any attention!
Wu Ershan played the victim, saying "the box office is not good, it will take ten years to pay off the debt", but few people cared...

This is normal. Movie tickets are so expensive nowadays. "Shushan" is obviously the first and only choice of the audience. Naturally, they don't have time to care about a big production with a cost of 30 billion...

Of course, "Fengshen" must have also dragged down "Shushan"...

But it's useless, they are not even on the same level!
Not even a few people were discussing it, and Shen Liang was too lazy to respond - it was just adding to their hype!

However, he had people collect these materials and comments and submit them to the Film Bureau...

Since you can advocate it openly, we can certainly shoot "Heroes of Dunhuang" or even "The Legend of Lan Yu"!
……

Airport, VIP lounge.

Shen Liang is discussing the box office prospects of "Shu Mountain" with Chen Jiadong... Oh, he will fly directly to Qingdao later to end the related roadshow promotions of "Shu Mountain" in advance, and go back to continue filming "West of Anxi".

"It will definitely break 50 billion. As for whether it can break the record of "Changjin Lake", I can't say for sure... After all, "All or Nothing" is definitely a movie that will make more than 35 billion!"

Chen Jiadong nodded: "…the Buddha worship in "All or Nothing" has received over 300 million likes on Douyin!"

"…Are there many investors who want to join the second part of "Shushan"?"

"Right..." Chen Jiadong smiled: "In the current situation, even a fool knows that as long as "Shushan II" maintains its current level, it will definitely be a big hit in film history..."

"It's up to you. I have only one request: If you don't have publicity resources, administrative resources, or theater investment resources, I won't take you no matter how much money you offer!"

"Um…"

Chen Jiadong took it in mind and said, "The Hidden Sky has been confirmed to be released on September 9th..."

"Not in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

“This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival is combined with the National Day…”

"oh."

Shen Liang nodded and glanced at Chen Jiadong: "Anything else?"

“…Youku is planning to reboot “Mars Intelligence Agency” and has sent us an invitation!”

"Mars Intelligence Agency..."

Shen Liang was silent for a while...

This program is very important to him. It is a channel for him to become popular again after his comeback.

But...it's hard to go back to the state when he first debuted!

Besides, few people dare to confront him...

Most importantly, in today’s variety shows, everyone is trying hard to be funny and come up with jokes, but the jokes that are not relaxed are very awkward…

Nothing to see!
This show is scrapped!

Chen Jiadong saw his expression and said with a smile: "…If you want to go, I will arrange one or two sessions."

"Just one or two issues? That's fine..."

"You still want to stay here permanently..." Chen Jiadong was speechless: "Even if you want to stay here permanently, I won't let you go. The program team can't afford your price!"

"That's right..."

……

"Yes, I'm back in Qingdao... Qingdao Film and Television Base, filming the war scenes for "West of Anxi" here... It's estimated to take about 20 days, but my part will be finished in 10 days at most!"

After returning to the hotel in Qingdao, Shen Liang took a shower first and then went live.

"First of all, I'd like to thank everyone. The box office of "Shushan" is indeed beyond our expectations. We thought that the first box office would be 15 billion... it would be good enough to recover the cost..."

"No bullshit, it's true!"

"After all, director Xu Ke's first two "Shushan" films were both loss-making..."

"I read Jin Yong and Gu Long when I was in middle school, and then I became interested in martial arts novels. I checked online and found that Jin Yong once said, 'Flying snow and shooting white deer is not as good as Huanzhu's book. Huanzhu is Huanzhu Louzhu, and the book he was talking about is The Legend of Swordsman in Shu Mountain!"

"Then I read many people's comments on "Swordsman of Shu Mountain". Whether it is the description of scenery, strange stories, magic weapons and flying swords, the description of the main characters, or the concepts of "primordial spirit", "three-life cause and effect", "five elements of life and death", "corpse transformation" evolved from Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as the original "adventure in the ancient cave", they are all enough to be called the most imaginative and "unprecedented wonders". "

“But after reading hundreds of thousands of words, I couldn’t stand it anymore. This is a pure open world game. Every time the protagonist forms a team, unlocks new characters, new enemies, new magic weapons, learns new skills, and then fights monsters…”
